The steamship Norhemer, Capt. Budd arrived
here early yesterday morning, with Charleston
papers of Saturday last and New Orleans papers
OF the 1lth. The latter contain the details of the
California news brought by the Crescent City.
The Northerner also brought portion of the mails
from California.
The steamship Falcon, Capt. Hartstien, also
arrived yesterday. She comes from New Orleans,
whence she sailed on the 18th inst, and Havana,
whence she sailed on the nth inst.
Capt. Edward w. SeIrel, of the Panama Sur
veyipg Expedition, also arrived here yesterday
morning from New Orleans, witkdespatches from
Col. Hughes, for Messrs. Rowland Il Asplnwan
He came through from Nsw Orleans without stop
png-in quick time.
We have received by the Northerner and Fal-
con, and by the overland mail, the bulk of our
California correspondence. 1t is highly interest
ing, and quite voluminous. We also received a
file of the alta California, and the Californian.
We annex a part of our correspondence We
will give some extracts from the alta California
Tomorrow and next day. AA
Most of the passengers who left here in the Fall
con were transferred to the steamship Alabama, at
New Orleans, and were to sail for Chagres on
Saturday last. The difficulty between the passen-
gers and the ships officers, at Havana is said to
have been trflng affair. Eleven passengers lett
the F. at that place and took passage for Chagres
in the steamship Isthmus but this was the con-
dtion appended to the tickets of the greater part
of them the larger number, however, came to
New Orleans In the Falcon, and were there trans
ferred to the steamer Alabama, the consignees
IL
in New Orleans. No dissatisfaction was expressed,
but, on the contrary, the passengers who were
thus transferred, sent to Capt. Hartstein, of the
Falcon, letter expressing thanks, and couched in
highly complimentary terms. A similar letter was
addressed to the agents Of the United States Steam
ship Company, at New Orleans.
The passengers who came in the Falcon from
New Orleans brought considerable gold dust and
Jumps of virgin gold; but they did not report the
amount, we have no means of ascertalnIng how
much of the precious metal has thus reached this
city. We hear, however, of $l50, 900 brought by
two of the passengers-Captain Forbes and Capt.
Loring. This valuable lot consisted of dust col
lected from the rich sands of the Sacramento.
We learn that r. N. Berry, the individual who
was lately rendered somewhat notorious in Boston,
by numerous alleged forgeries, was one OF the
Falcons passengers from Charleston to New Or
leans; and he is now far on his way to California.
He left here in the Northerner, and went on board
the Falcon at Charleston bar, under the assumed
named of Curtis. While recording the exodus of
remarkable Individuals we may as well state that
Higham, the prince Of billiard players, better
known as the Albany Pony, went out In the same
ship having previously sent lot of billiard tables
round Cape Horn to San Francisco.
Captains Forbes and Loring state, that all that
has been said of the richness of the California gold
country is literally true, and that much more might
be said, and still be true
Captain, Tucker who came passenger in the Fal-
con, states there was but one American vessel at
Chagres schooner lone, from New Orleans,
and a schooner and brig in the oiiing, (the brig
was supposed to be the Mary c. Draper, from New
York; The steamer Orus was alongside, taking
out passengers. The schooner Neomia, of Balti-
timore, sailed the 10th Of May for New Orleans,
with five passengers. Captain Tucker reports IA
sail of square rugged vessels lying at Panama,
waiting passengers
We are again under obligation to the officers of
the Falcon, especially to N. S. X. Davis, and Mr..
Seymour, clerk for papers and verbal information.
