The Alta California states that considerable
anxiety was felt in San Francisco, on account of
the non arrival of the steamer Panama. By pri-
vste advices received in this City, by the Empire
CitV, we learn that the Panama was at Monterey
on the 3lst of December, and therefore reached
San Francisco on the LIST January, about the time
the Columbus and Carolina left. She did notleavs
Panama until December g. having been detained
waiting for the mails, and between that port aud
Acapulco was still further detained by accident
10 her machinery. This, however, the engineer
was enabled to repair after short delay, and the
remainder of the voyage was safely accomplished.
Those who have friends on board of her, may
therefore rest assured Of their arrival at San
Francisco on January /.
