The Nicaragua steamer Pacific was ta-
ken upon the sectional dry dock, at Mare
island, last week, and newly coppered.-
This is the first vessel ever taken up by
this new dock. 1t worked admirably. The
Pacific now lays at jackson st. wharf,
looking as neat and elegant as though she
had just come new from the stocks. Cabin
fare $500. She is filling up rapidly, and
no doubt will leave tomorrow with large
list Of the names of hombres, whose hearts
bound in their bosoms at the very thought
of once more meeting with wives, children,
relatives and friends.
! There is much talk about town of an ex-
pedition which is being secretly gGtten up
to explore and settle on or about the
Amazon gold region-of vast amounts of
money invested of wealthy Dons interest
ed therein, and of certain liberal offers of
the Peruvian government to this expe-
dition, sc. and so on to the end of the
chapter, all, part or none OF which you
believe or discredit just as you Please
That there is an effort to get up an expe-
dition and desire on the part Of the
leaders to be connected with some fillibus-
terins capitalist, verdant enough to run
the risk and foot the bills, there can be
but little doubt, because it is all very
natural, but that the expedition will amount
to much or that the Peruvian government
has made any overtures to its leaders not
open to every American citizen, or that
any heavy capitalist will risk much of his
wealth in the expedition, | regard as ex-
tremely problematical.
A couple of rowdy fellows yesterday
went on to Mare Island with about seven
scores of the lovers of scientific fstiona, to
have regular knock down. Both parties,
| am happy to inform you, got we'll pum-
melled. | will not honor the fellows by
writing their names. | only regret that
public sentiment will not, with laws ade-
quate to arrest such barbarity and nina
manity, insist upon making examples of
them.
Large fleets of clipper ships continue to
arrive, greatly to the distress Of importers,
those spectators who invested several
months since in various kinds of mer-
chandise, expecting ere this rising mar
ket, but storage and oiher expenses force
| them out from store houses into auction
rooms, to pay profit to the speculator-
over the left.
| Warren & Son have, I should judge
from appearances, made a good thing cut
of their Agricultural Fair. There is much
to be seen by visiting 1t. The varieties of
grains, fruits and vegetables are small, but
the specimens are of a very superior order
better, by far than an average of similar
varieties in our great fairs in the Eastern
and Western states. Squashes, girting
feet and weighing l2l pounds. Cucum>
bers 10 inches long. Beets three feet in
diameter and four and a half feet in length.
Onions twenty inches round. The varie-
ties of fruits were many OF them, of very
| fine flavor and of immense size. This
Fair, though small, is nevertheless an
earnest of what California may produce
hereafter. The elder Warren appears to
be enthusiastic about agriculture. There
are several very fine specimens of needle
work, we'll worthy the attention and admi-
ration of visitors.
The great tree has been boxed up and
is about to take its departue for the At
lantic States. The proprietors exhibited it
in this city, to loss, I regret to learn of
about S2500 Instead of elegantly fitting
and furnishing its interior, they should
have fitted up bar-room, and added some
other side fxings and no doubt the concern
would have paid literally.
Drinking and gambling saloons still con-
tinue to occupy the most eligible positions
in the city. With small investments for
tunes are constantly being made by dice,
cards and miserable poor liquors. These
keep our worthy recorder busy. His
court is constantly crowded, and the mis-
cradle victims of this double vice are made
to suffer the penalty of being robbed and
poisoned and then fined or imprisoned but
those who entice them in and bind them
