Letters from San Francisco to May the 18th, one
day later than previous accounts have been received
here, via Mazatlan. The market was overstocked
with many descriptions of goods, which were selling
at low rates. Some dozen vessels were daily ex-
pected from the Celestial Empire
The charges for storage and landing goods were
enormous-from 50 to "a per month was charged
storage, and IS to % per ton for landing goods.
The anchorage was crowded with vessels, and

chandse could be purchased from 80 to so per cent.

cipaly house frames complete, boats Of good de-

of the inhabitants in San Francisco were madly
gambling in land. -
New towns were being laid out in different spots
around the bay, and building lots, in wilderness

San Francisco was full of people, and it is not an

town are innumerably crowded. Rooms, twenty
feet square, let from $500 to $500 per annum.
Building lots, worth two years since $500, now sell

very freely, owing to the swollen state OF the
streams but no doubts were entertained but that as
much would be gathered this year last, as the
number of laborers this season exceeded those Of
the previous one.
At the mines, as yet, matters remain pretty quiz
ct but fears are entertained that long there will
be serious disturbances between our countrymen
and the MexIcans-as some six thousand of the
latter have arrived in the country and evnced
most turbulent disposition. You may rest assured,
however, that should any important outbreaks
take place, they piA be shot dorm 10 a man.
News has just been received that six men, in
twenty days near the Feather river, procured siry
thousand dollars in gold dust.
