From Panama.

D.
Star of that date says that the 1st courier had
arrived with dispatches to Gov. Diaz, informing
him that General Thomas Herrera, leader of the
Government forces, had subdued the remaining
revolutionary forces in the Republic, under com
mand Of Gen. BoFrera, in the province Of Antioqua
An account had been received at Panama Of
mutiny on board the schooner Sharon, on the
18th, when at Acapulco. She was ordered by the
United States Consul . lie under the guns Of the
VandaIia, and the nutineers were arrested.
The great specie train of the Pacific Company
was robbed when seven miles from Panama. After
riding several miles. Captain Garrison came up
with the train and found 1t In the widest confusion
Three Of the guards had been shot, and were y-
ing 10 the road, two in z dying condition: The
robbers had made off with one box of gold, but
being delayed by its weight, were overtaken and
fed, two being captured. Thomas Summer, of
NewYotk, Dr.. Berry, of NewO Orleans, Laban Man
ming. OF Illinois. and Charles Cromwell, (colored
Of NewYork, are in custody. charged with the
Of the examination of Dr.. Berry. He stated that
the robbery was planned by J. G. Burch and DR..
Roberts, the latter being the captain of the gang.
OF these two the Herald remarks:
Burch 10 man well known in this city He is
an American, well educated. and by profession
lawyer, we believe. He was, for brief period
after his arrival here, connected with the Orleans
Hotel. Since then he has done little Of any thing
but dissipate and gamble. He has spent some
time on the Realjo route, where, it is said, he
kept two or three hotels. He is man of talents,
which, if properly bestowed, would secure him q
position Of high character in the estimation Of his
fellow men.
DR.. Roberts came here from California about
six months ago. He is an Engishman-shrewd, !,
cunning, smart, of extraordinary intelligence and
/ wonderful conversational powers. His education
10 of high intellectual character, but he ID bold
| daring aud desperate He has resided some years
| in Mexico, and speaks the language f1uently. A
more accomplished rogue cannot be found in any
country. s
The Panama Herald has the following in refer
ence to travelling over the Isthmus:
The roads are now in their woHt condition, and
travelling, consequently, of difficult and fatiguDg
character. The Cruces road is literally lined with
the dead bodies of mules. Yet with all this, travel
ing over this rous is constantly increasing, as we
perceive by the large numbers crossing at this
time. Notwithstanding the bad state Of the roads
| we know several persons who came from Cruces in
four hours and a half. within the past week. In a
very shoft time the heavy rains will cease and the
travelling begin to improve"
The Panama Star has letter from San Juan del
Sud, giving an account of the riot (which we pub
lished some time ago), to which the government
trooIs and some American emigrnnts were parties
1t says:
"The excitement was, and is still, very great
and the Americans threaten great things. The
man that was killed is Isaac Jerome, last from
Panama, a boatman he had thirty. five wounds OF
his body, mostly bayonet stabs"
The Star adds, respecting Jerome, whose nam.
will be familiar to our readers:
"The unfortunate Jerome, mentioned by our cor
| respondent 90 having been killed, is the heroi,
sailor who, several years since, immortalized him
self by saving, at the imminent risk of his own
the lives OF large number of persons from tn,
wreck ofa vessel met at sea. Poor fellow he wa
Thorough sailor, of noble and generous disposition
and all who knew him can but grieve that his en-,
was not more peaceful and less barbarous.''
From the Sandwich Islands.
The Alta California contains the following in
teresting intelligence:
Through the kindness of Captain Griffin, Of tn
| schooner Curlew, from Honolulu we have beer
placed in possession Of important and affecting in
telligence from the whaling feet Of the North Pa
, ciic.
1t appears that the whole whaling fleet had win

OF the sea Of kamschatka, in Russia, Asia, and OF
. the coming Of spring had set sail for Bhsringi
Straits but, in attempting to pass through int
the Arctic Ocean, the fleet was environed bv ice
, | and eight or nine vessels were totally wrecked
The crews Of the destroyed vessels are reporte
to have reached the main land in safety but it
said that in some disturbances afterwards with tn
natives eleven Of the whalemen lost their lives.
1t was supposed that some sixty more vessel
(, had shared the fate Of those mentioned above an
L
. would be likely to be lost in their attempts to es
cape from the ice.
The general result Of this seasons whale fish
ing is set down as . total failure.
1t is thought that the whole fleet (some 60
