FROM CHAGREs AND HAVANA.

The steamer Georgia. from Chagres via Havana,
arrived at New York yesterday with large num-
Der of passengers and about million and half of
dollars in gold. ss4euis @
The news she brings from California has been
anticipated by the late arrival by way Of San Juan.
4 From Chagres we have reports Of the occur
renee Of further riots. The whole number of per-
sons who said to have lost their lives in these
conflicts is stated at twenty or thirty Americans
and still greater number of blacks-no doubt
gross exaggeration. The following extract is from
the Panama Star:

The accounts from Havana state that Mr.. JOHN

son, and sentenced TO eight years. labor in the chain
gang. The charge against him was, we believe, that
of having been connected with the recent unlaw-
full invasion Of Cuba. He is native of Maine,
but has resided in Havana for the last eighteen or
twenty years, and lately edited the newspaper called
the " Faro Industrial He is represented to be
