ARRIVAL OF THE PROMETHEUs.
Interesting from California.

New YoRK, August 13-12 p. m.
The steamer Prometheus has arrived, from
San Juan on the fourth, with San Francisco
dates to July 15.
She brings three hundred and sixty passen-
gers, and two hundred thousand dollars in cash
as freight, and one hundred thousand in the
hands of passengers.
The Pacific left San Francisco on the 18th,
and arrived at San Juan on the Goth. The
passengers had fifteen miles of land carriage,
and thence by steamer across Nicaragua lake
and down San Juan river. Thirty-two of her
passengers express great satisfaction at the new
route
The only event exciting any interest at San
Francisco was the trial and execution, by the
Vigilant Committee, of desperate character
named James Stuart, at two o'clock on the 18th
of July, at the end of the Market wharf, in the
presence of five thousand citizens, who, it is
alleged, "were compelled to act on their own
behalf, as the laws were inadequate and their
administration inefficient"
The execution Of Stuart created great excite
ment, and the conduct of the committee was
severely reprehended by the Court, city author
ities sc. !; but the people generally sustain the
committee.
