New York. Aug. IS.
The steamer Promeiheus, with San Juan dates to
the 18th August, and San Francisco dates to the 18th
July, arrived here to-day, having on board 300 pas
sengers 100000 in gold, freight, and 100000
in the hands of passengers. The passengers express
great satisfaction with the Nicaragua route.
We learn, by the reports from San Francisco, that
desperate named James Stuart was hung by Lynch
law at that place the l1th of July, in the presence
of 5000 people. Citizens of other in California
were adopting vigorous measures to protect them
selves from the criminal acts of this of men, the
laws being found inadequate to that purpose.

by representing him aristocrat. Funny that,

Indignation manifested by the Wing members and
