There were passengers enough on the lsthmus
and at Psnsms, including the Empire Ci,ys pas
seDgers, to all the California.
The California brought down Seren Hundred
thousand Dollars worth of Gold Dust from san
Ffsnci.co, and $50 900 in coin from Mszatlan.
part OF this amount goes to Valparaiso and part to
England by the British steamer. The amount OF
cold In California was still large but somewhat
diminished by these shipments
The South. Carolina was ready to sail Tor New
York next day, and the Sea Queen was taking IN
ballast for the same destination. Sailors wages
were sl2O TO sl50 per month; fremen, SloO,
Sailor swere plenty at these rates, aud the steam
ers had no difficulty in getting away regularly
There had been several arrivals OF coal vessels at
San Francisco for account OF the Steamboat Com
psny. aud the supply was ample.
The usual fever Of the season was just begin
ming to prevail on the pscers, and old residents Of
California estimated that at least 5000 deaths
would occur during the Summer among the unac
slimsted.
At San Francisco prices Of every article OF pro-
duce aud manufacture had fallen oil, although from
second hands at retail large profits were still
realized. The Californian stores on her last voy-
age were bought cheaper of ships IN the hsrbor
than were her stores in New-York on her voyage
out Salaries were also much reduced and clerks
could be hired about as cheap as in New-York,
excepting the better class Of book-keepers. The
large number of young men who have returned
from the mines unable to endure the toll neces-
sary to procure gold, had produced this elut OF
clerks. Manual labor however was still high,
50 per day, carpenters get $40 to sl2.
China goods " ere extremely abundant and sell
ing very low. The Rome had arrived from Can
ton with full cargo, which could not be sold and
II WAS not unlikely that she would bring It 70 the
States. Fashionable and well clothing and
choce-preseved provisions, were about the only
articles selling well. All the late arrived cargoes
would lose money, bat the prosoect was that the
trade would improve. Building materials and
, rssdy-made houses were still in large demand at
exusvsgan, prices. large number OF these
houses had been received and put up, and also a
considerable number had been erected from Ore
gon lumber and rented at high prices.
San Francisco was a. healthy as usual Dyson
terry prevailed to some extent. In the new places
up the Rivers Benicia, Stockton. &c. dysentery
was very prevalent.
The number of women in San Francisco was in
orsasing. bat there was still great lack OF The
"last beat gift"
Gambling 10 carried on to an enormous extent
in San Francisco. A few days before the Csiicr
MIA left, one hundred thousand dollars in dust anC
Spanish ounces changed hands at Monte bank OF
the turn Of single card. A notorious New Nori
pugilist and gambler. who keeps a bank there
was broken the night before the California sailed
