The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1850-12-24
Latssl from, CnIifornia.

We are indebted to Mr.. Hollenbeck Purser Of
the Pacific, for San Francisco papers and the '0l
lowing memoranda. ;.e.
The Pacific brings no later news from Cailiornls
than that brought by the Philadelphia one ien
Chagres on the evening of the 18th, ana Havana on
the 10Th. go
Tls Pacific brings to Neworleans 296 passen-
III. 34o of ,.boro are from Chagres 80 from New
VA, and 81 from Havana, besides ST. 900 worth
II ,ol5 dnst $4,000 of which belongs to Messrs
d r. Garrison & Brother, who are passengers by
tie Pacific.
The Pacific left Chagres with 470 passengers, |
he California mails, and 100000 worth Of gold
dust greater part of the dust, and about one-hali
of the passengers transferred to the Ohio Tor
New York The Ohio, Georgia, and Pacific, ar
rived at Havana on the morning Of the lItn' ana
lef on the 19th--the Ohio for NewYork, and the
| Georgia for Chagres
The Ohio met with an accident on starting from
Havana by which she was detained one day, when
will cost great loss of time and money to repair
After few revolutions of her Wheels and before
| fairly under way, she broke the cylinder bottom
\ of her starboard engige, and was compelled to
anchor in the MAIN channel Of the harbor, under
the bows Of a Spanish man Of war. The disabled
engine was detached, and she has gone home with
one engine, which will probably make the passage
| somewhat longer than usual Her Chief Engineer
being skful and experienced officer OF The Uni
ted States service, fear need be entertained OF
her safe arrival at New York
The Captain General very kindly gave permls'
sion to allow Captain Schenck to go to sea, any
lime in the night in case he wished to do so, per-
nit seldom or never granted, under any circum-
stances The Ohio left for New York about nine
O'Clock on the morning of the l9th.
The passengers by the Georgia and Pacific were
obliged 10 submit to a yexatious delay at Havana
before getting permission to land, the Captain
General being on a visit to Moro Castle. They
were obliged to wait nearly half day before the
names and passports could be examined.
q Hereafter, the names of all passengers for Ha
vana, together with their passports must be sent t
the Captain.Ceneral for examination, before per
mits will be given to allow them to land.
Three Spanish transport ships with troops, &C
companied by sloop-of-war from Cadiz, wer
going into Havana when the Pacific eft-last Tues
}, day night.
e Sr. Badiali took grand benefit at the Taco
d Theatre, when the whole company appeared. Th
performance consisted OF parts Of different operas
arranged expressly for the occasion, and was
every respect the most brilliant affiir of the season
n A German named L. WE'LL, resident of this city
y died of Chagres fever, the day after leaving Ha
y yana, and was buried at sen.
