From PAllnxaAA.

We have received files Of the Panama Star and
Echo to the Sd instant by the Ohio. We make the
following extracts:
HAHD CAsE.-Among the passengers recently
arrived here some forty fifty, prncipally
foreigners, with through tickets to San Francisco
issued from the "Steam and Sailing packet office Of
Hurdle & Wright, 100 Cedar street, New York, %
for which they paid y l50 Their passage was paid
on the steamer Georgia to Cbagres. Arrived here,
some of the poor victims commenced lookin g
around for the vessel that is to transport them
San Francisco; but, on reference to their tickets,
their disappointment may be imagined when they
found that vessel nor date whatever is named.
As the affair now stands it bears the most swim
ding aspect OF any thing that has lately come to
knowledge.
ELECTION OF VICE PREsIpENT.-On last Thurs
day, the lst of August election was held in the
different provinces and cantons OF this republic,
for the office of Vice President Of New Grenada.
In this city every thing went OIL quietly and In
order, and the vote for electors, we understand !,
was nearly unanimous in favor of Governor Obal-
da-he having received eight out of ten votes cast
by the electors for this canton.
The JKsUITs.--Thrtcen Priests of the order of
Jesuits arrived here from Chagres few days ago,
and now in this city. These men were invited
TO this government years since, to take charge
of the seminaries and colleges Of learning. At the
late session of Congress in Bogota, by formal
of that body they expelled from the republic.
They came up on the British steamer Avon, and
are on their way Peru.
TADooA.-The steamer Taboga continues to give
an excursion every Sunday. So far the trips have
been pleasant, and the captain and boat are both
growing popular. Nothing can be more agreeable
than these excursions.
CoNcERT.-The concert of Mr.. Henri Herr at the
residence of the Governor on Thursday evening
was largely attended, and by the applause which
was given we should think that the distinguished
pianist and composers talent was duly appreciated.
RoBDEny.-Another extensive robbery has been
committed on the lsthmus The specie train that
left here on Wednesday morning, conveying the
two millions of specie brought by the California.
was robbed of mule load about ten miles from
this city. The amount lost is said to be about
twenty five or thirty thousand dollars.
The particulars, far could learn, are
simply that the forward mule of the forward train
wearing bells, was, on entering defile, turned
aside into the bushes and stripped Of the bells,
while the rest of the train followed the direct
route. An hour SO had passed before the mule
missed and when the train stopped and
after some investigation and search around, the
mule Appeared trotting along to join his comrades,
minus his load. Search was made, but yet
thing has been discovered. Who the parties are
that committed the theft, whether mulatecrs or
others, is not known, nor we suppose are they
likely to be. An express was sent here, and the
Governor, with guard of soldiers, Mr.. Nelson,
and a number Of others, went out in the evening,
but nothing found, no arrests made, and, as
far as we know, no suspicious entertained of
any one in particular.
