city.
We have no wish TO create an alarm,
but the breaking out anew Of the pestlence,
renders prompt and efficien, action neces.
.sary and important.
We learn from teamster just down
from Nevada City, that the Cholera has
broken on, there, and several persons have
died. There were two or three cases re.
ported to us from Rough and.Ready some
days ago.
We have seen persons from various por-
,ions Of the mines, dependen: upon this city
for supplies. from whom we learn lha, the
cholera has spread 10 but very limited
extent. A few cases have occurred at Ne
vada City. Rough and Ready and some
other towns.-Sac. Times.
The owner of tent, on the road from
Sacramento to the southern diggings, in,
forms US, that in the past six days he
counted seven thousand persons pass his
place on their way south 10 winter dggings.
We learn that the existence Of the chole-
ry has created great panic among the
Mexican portion OF the residents Of the
capitol, and that they are leaving that place
by hundreds. We do no, learn that the
disorder has made its appearance there,
although premonitory symptoms have ex-
listed, and disorders that generally precede
cholera.
The bark Christiuna was reported Tues
men,o, with passengers. of whom thirteen
had died of cholera and many remained on
board sick.
A great many cases occurred on board
the vessels between this place and Saera.

medical assisiance-or, probably, to the
viruIence OF the disease-almost all the
cases have proved fatal.
Money, in San Francisco, which we no,
ted as being so very tight in prices current
Of the 3lst ult., can be had on much easier
terms, on giving the required security.
The rate Of interest is at present hign. but
it is owing TO the fact that the titles to real
es,se here are in most cases disputed. and
capitalists consequently part with money
with great caution.
The steamer Mariposa, run down and
sunk in Suisun Bay, few days ago, has
been raised and lowed 10 this city. She
will resume her trips to Stockton next
week.
Mr.. L. L. Youmans, City Undertaken,
handed in his bill yesterday to the Common
Council for collins furnished TO the destitude
poor during the period from Sept. Sd to
Oct. 81. Those furnished. at s25 each,
amounted TO Sl,25O! This exhibits a
frigh,lul picture Of mortality for the last
month.
Gov. Burnett has appointed the thir,ie,h

During the approaching winter much
larger number Of miners will remain in the
mountains than ever before, and conse.
qucn,ly more gold will be taken out than

| A very destructive fire has taken place
a, Sacramento city. Among the buildings
destroyed were four large hotels.
The Indian difficulties continue, bat are

eraI skirmishes have taken place, but at.

We are compelled to notice still, dullness
as prevailing in the markets generally since
our review Of the 3lst uIt., until the lst o.
this week, when trade in almost every de-
par;men, revived, and it continues lively
and acice up 10 The present moment, with
on, however, any material change in The
prices of any Of the leading articles o
merchandise.
Breadsiufs have fallen, as will be OBJ
served by reference TO our present quota
lions, with still downward tendency.
Groceries are also sold daily at public
sale, at great sacrifice.
The arrivals of vessels have not fallen of
yet. We have hadt arrivals from Chin;
lately with large and well assorted cargoe:
Of silks, teas and other articles loo iediou.
