Arrival Of the Crescent City.

New York, Oct. 5.--The steamer Crescent City
arrived here at 81 o'clock last night. She brings
the California mails and 81 100000 in gold $4,000
of which is from Australia Her news is but little
later.
The health ofthe Isthmus was good, and the
weather very pleasant. The news from the 18th
mus was otherwise unmportant
Fresh discoveries of gold had been made, and
the mining intelligence was favorable
VALPARAIso-Valparais dates TO the lst OF
September have also been received. The mar
kels were dull except for -four, which was brisk
at IS so.
The papers give further particulars of the state
of affairs at the Chincas, growing out of the Diff
Guilty with the American ship Defiance. The
Defiance on going TO sea, saluted the other Ameri-
can vessels, and was fined. second salute was
then fired, which so enraged the Peruvian COM
mander of the port, that he went on board the De-
hance with three boats filed with armed men,
After severe encounter, the captain OF the
Defiance was seized and bound, and then thrown
into one of the boats, by which he was severely
injured. The Peruvian commander having taken
possession of the Defiance, took her TO Caao, and
retained the commander in prison.
Mr.. Clay, the American minister to Lima, forth
with chartered the British steamship Bolivia, and
went in her 10 Chincas 10 investigate the whole
affair He has transmitted the result of his lnyes-
tigation in despatch to Washington.
The most exciting stories have reached Santi-
ago dc Borgia of gold discoveries made on the
Amazon and Branches rivers. The washiGgs are
said to extend for forty leagues, and twenty-five
pounds of the precious metals We're mentioned as
the average OF one mans labor.
Observation-Disclosures dates 10 the Goth July
had been received at Panama. The miners in
Australia were agitating reduction in the license
tax. Large meetings had been held, at which
those in attendance had been armed 10 the teeth.
Great excitement prevailed, and II was feared that
difficulties would ensue.

CHINA.-We take the following extracts from
an authentic work, published by Mr.. Williams,
who, from long residence in China, has been
enabled to write knowingly upon the various
subjects embraced in his work:
animals of China.-Thc denseness of the
population has long since entirely driven out
oil wild quadrupeds; and there are also few
domestic ones, such as are found III eastern
countries. Beasts of burden are in a great
degree superseded by the means of transport
afforded by the numerous rivers and canals,
and by the coolies or porters, class OF ath-
letic men, who take the place of animals in
CARRYING burdens and i'll dragging boats. Ami
mails are excluded, to leave more food for men;
There are no meadows for feeding cattle; but
the entire soil is used in raising feed for the
inhabitants Wild cats are sometimes caught,
and are considered o great dainty. Monkeys
are found in the southwest provinces.
What few horses and asses are found in Chi
M are small and very inferior in every respect.
The buffalo is sometimes used in ploughing.
Dromedaries are used between Pekin and
Tartary There are also hogs, goats, and
sheep. There is but one variety of dogs in
the country, an animal about one foot high
and two long, resembling small spaniel. Rats
are very abundant, and furnish the common
people with meat. They are very large, and
destructive to crops.
OF the birds in China there are the eagle,
the falcon, magpie, crows, sparrows, cormorants,
curlews, quails, pigeons, larks, pheasants, the
rice-birds, and many species of aquatic birds.
Cormorants are used by the Chinese for catch
ing fish. The falcon is imperial property, and
the magpie is sacred to the reigning family.
Fish form very important part of the food
Of the Chinese, and great care is taken in rails
ing them in artificial fish ponds The gold and
silver fishes are kept in glass globes as orna-
ments. Among the fish eaten, are the cod,
sturgeon, mullet, carp, perch, sea-bream, &C. !;
crab-fsh and oysters are common on the coast.
The larger species of reptiles are unknown
in China Frogs, lizards, and fresh-water tor
toises are common venomous serpents are
very rare.
