have extended this letter TO a greater length
than bad designed when / began. will add,
now, that, Immediately upon coming out OF
the Bay Of San Francisco, on the evening of the
18th Of December, we were met with one of the
severest gales with which that coast has been
visited for some time. The California had on
full head of steam, and all sails set. These last
were blown into ribbons, although some Of them
were new, and then bent for the first time, and
our good ship was forced to run some seventy.tive
or one hundred miles to the westward out Of her
course. She is a fine sea boat, bat she labored
and plunged heavily for some hours in that ire
mendous sea. Ali our live cattle and sheep, for
supplying the table were drowned and washed
overheard and, to relieve the ship forward, the
Captain stove in all the heavy water casks that
could be got at in the bows.
Towards daylight it moderated, though continu-
ing still tempestuous, and we were not able to
make Monterey, where we should have arrived
on Monday morning, until Tuesday toward noon.
The remainder OF our passage TO Panama was re-
markably smooth and pleasant. The steamer
"Isthmus," of Laws line, left San Francisco for
Panama on December IA, the day before US, with
about 300 passengers, and as she was undoubtedly
taken by the same gale that we experienced and
had not been heard from when we left Panama
and Chagres some anxiety was expressedfor her
safety. She has had the reputation, however, OF
being good sea boat, and trust that no cause
for alarm exists On board the Cherokee from
Chsgres we have had rough and stormy time
nearly all the way; strong head winds and
heavy sea almost uninteruptedy.
There was some excitement lately at San Fran
cisco on the subject Of land titles, matter which
it will perhaps require the aid of both the Fede-
raj and State Legislatures to settle definitvely
and equitably.
At Panama and on the Ishmus generally, there
was nothing new string except that one or two
of the robbers engaged in the recent attempt on
Al ~ ho hot a plaza
at Panama in the course Of the week. Fevers
and other sickness prevailed at Chagres as usual
The workmen and those engaged in constructing
the Railroad in that district, are falling victims to
it's pestilential malaria by the score. We have
SOME three or four engineers, four carpenters, and
about as many axemen returning from it on the
Cherokee, with hardly life enough left to last
them to their homes One man died on board
Just as we touched at Kingston. Yours, sc.

Loss OF THE BRIGANTINE BELFAsT.-We re-
greet to have to record the total loss of the brgan
tine Belfast Dickinson, master. The Belfast vas
from New. ork, bound to St. Vincent, with val
liable cargo, estimated at $4,000, which was also
lost. The vessel was swept on the rocks by
strong current it being perfectly calm at the time
with much fine rain the captain had no concep
ton that he was in so dangerous vicinity, until
the cry Of Breakers was made by the watch on
deck. The vessel went with heavy force
which knocked out the stern-post, aud she rapidly
broke up. The captain and Crew barely escaped
with their lives, having lost everything The B..
was insured in Bermuda for L 200. We under
stand that such of the materials and cargo of the
Belfast as were saved sold for about $50.

On the lst of February last the Connecticut

To the Editors Of The Tribune:
Since the last Steamer, trade has been ex-
tremely dublin fact has almost entirely ceased.
Cargoes are sold at ruinous loss, at this season.
as there is but little call for them but for city con-
sumption, and the influx in every description of
goods has been enormous. What can induce
such enormous shipments, after all the woful ex.
penrence you commercial men have had, l can.
not imagine.
The gold diggers who have gone into the hills
and canons, or Dry Diggings, are very much dis
appointed that the rains have not fairly set in, so
that they may have water to wash out the dust"
Last season the rains commenced six weeks
earlier than this and there is no immediate pros
pect ofvery wet weather now. All old Caifor-
mans and Indians say we shall have dry winter.
Wages of mechanics and laborers are yet kept
up, higher much higher than the product Of the
country will afford, and rents are outrageously
high Still, there are hundreds Of men without
employ in our large towns and cities, and in San
Francisco, hundreds of buildings untenanted.

buildings unfit for winter habitstion.
The papers and prices current which send you,

state Of things, and TO them | refer you.
The two parties are marshaling their forces
for the election of United States Senator,
and both confidently predict the election of their
candidate. Both parties claim a majority OF the
Legislature. But, as have written you repeat

have voted in the Atlantic States and as they
would vote were they there again Wing will

Both parties distinctly dsavow both him and his

fact OF bis coming here to the neglect of his du-
ties in Congress, to electioneer for another term
has also been highly prejudicia to his interests -
he cannot, OF course, await the action of our Leg
islature and get back to this term of the Senate.
