HrriraI of the Steamer GEORGIA.

New York, Dec. 21.-The steamer
Georgia has arrived from Chagres,
bringing the California mails, 400 pas
sengers, S1,476,000 On freight, and
$1,500,O00 in the hands of the passen-
gers.
The Georgia brings the mails but
nothing later from California, the news
being anticipated by the arrival of the
Daniel Webster.
The Georgia's outward passengers,
cargo and mails went to Gatour, by the
new railroad, and her homeward freight,
&C., came by the same route.
There has been a tremendous two
weeks rain storm at Chagres, causing
the river to rise fifty feet above its usual
height, and destroying great deal of
property. Houses, men and cattle were
floating down the river and swept out
to sea.
The river on the 10th had subsidized.
Many vessels were lost, among which
was the schooner Hsme, bound to San
Juan.
The Golden Gate was spoken off San
Diego, ten days out from San Francisco
for Havana.
Consul Owen sailed from Havana on
the 18th IN the Isabel for Charlestown.
MIR. Sharkey, the newly appointed con.
sui, had not yet arrived.

FRlGNTFUL RAvAGEs OF THE CHOLERA.
BY the arrival of the Bermuda steam
er at Halifax, on Friday, we learn that
the Cholera instead of being on the de-
cline, was extending its ravages in many
parts of the island.
The Morning journal says:-"From
all parts ofthe country our accounts are
lamentable;-The peasantry are again
being swept off, and the disease is
spreading fearfully-while the violence
with which it acts, leaves but little
time for the beneficial application of
medicine. At Montego bay the town
is infected in all quarters. At Leith es-
tate the mortality has been very great
death carrying off his 80 or 40 VIC
Tins daily from that property and neigh.
boring estates. The effect of this disas-
trous state of af1hrs is already manifest
IN mercantile matters.

ImmIgrstion to the United states
Mr. EDITOR: The immigration during the quarter end

thousand during the term specified Contrary to the
CUSTOM the stream does not the approach

country SO that manufacturers afford to worl
