Steamer Philadelphia, which lef, ryh.,ros
on the 9th inst, arrived at New York IN f.
day afternoon, bringing dates from CaIiforn;s
to Aug Is, brought down by steamer Cayo;-
ma. The Philadelphia brings $500 900 in gold
on freight, and large number of passengers
The mail will be brought by the Ohio
When the Philadelphia left Chagres there
were few cases of the prevailing disease,
which, however, were confined almost entirely
to the native population. 1t is the opinion of
DR.. Gould, who resides at Chagres, that by
the middle part of October the sickness will
have entirely disappeared, as at that time
the dry season commences, and the principal
cause Of the unhealthiness of the place will be
removed
1he steamers Carolina and Columbus, from
San francisco, had both arrived at Panama -
ne Oarohna brought down the Oregon and
Caiiiornla mails, S770, l24 in gold dust CIT
irelght, and 70 passengers. The Columbus
brought S5OO, 600 IN gold dust, and 200 passeu-
gers. Not single case of sickness of any
kind has occurred on board either of these
steamers. They both stopped at Acapuleo.
which place was as healthy as it ever was
A dreadful riot had occurred at Sacramento
city. Ii appears that case had been decided
in court against the squatters, which highlyex-
asperated them, and they resolved on iorcble
measures.
They armed themselves, and said they would
protect the land which they had seized, even if
blood was spilled. A riot ensued, and the
mayor and number of others, among whom was
the City Assessor, were MORALLY wounded
Besides the wounded there were nearly
dozen reported killed Martial law has been
proclaimed.
steamer was despatched from Sacramento
to Benicla to get the assistance of the U. S.
forces, as the squatters threatened to burn the
city, which the passengers by the Philadelphia
say they did
The news from the mines continue to be of
the most encouraging nature. Several Jumps
of gold, weighing from ten to forty pounds
each, had been found and at some of the new
ly discovered placers the yield was from one
to five dollars the painful. We have convers-
ed with several of the passengers Just from
California, and they assure us there is just as
much gold to be had by digging as there ever
was.
San Frdncisco Markets, Aug 1.-THE mar
ket closes with no great animation, the stock
being considered good. There is no specula-
tive demand, but where large lots of bulky ar
ticles are forced on the market considerable
concession has to be made. Considerable diff
cnlties arise between the shippers and the con-
signees of goods; it should always be inserted
in the bills of lading to be taken in 10, 10 or 20
days, as the case may be with this clause, pro-
vided the ship is ready to discharge them. Al
so the ship should commence discharging as
soon as practicable; much injury is also siis-
tanned by the sweat of vessels We beg leave
to suggest that all vessels should be well ven
tilated while passing through the tropics.
