The Falcon sailed from Aspinwall on the eve
ming of the 10Th.
The Ohio left Aspinwall on the 18th, for New
York direct, with the U. s. Mails, 200 passen-
gers, and 81 100000 specie on freight.
Quite an excitement had arisen at Aspinwall
relative to an outrage which had been commit
ted by the Alcalde of Chagres upon Mr. Hiersch,
merchant, Of Aspinwall. 1t seems the store Of
Mr.. Hiersch had been robbed, and he went in
pursuit of the robber to Chagres, where he ap-
piled to the Alcalde for assistance, and prom
a reward of $50 in case the robber was caught.
The Alcalde employed five men, who went with
him, but were, however, unsuccessful
The Courier, which speaks of the affair to
70 some length, says; - y. .....
II On the 1lth the Alcalde densanded that Mr.
Hirsch should pay him an addition to the bal
ance of S37 still in hand, for his own services,
stating that he had paid to each of the afore-
said hombres, by himself employed, the sum of
five dollars. This Mr.. Hirsch refused to admit,
stating the proper reasons why and wherefore !;
and insisted that the Alcalde should re-collect
the S37, and refund it to him, which the Al
calde did. Mr.. H. then offered the Alcalde IS
for his assistance, and each of. the hombres 81
for their services. All parties having refused
respectively the said offers, Mr.. H. pocketed
the money, and firmly declined giving any thing
whereupon the Alcalde demanded 800 for hi:
,services, and ordered Mr. H. to be taker
to Jail and placed in the stocks; refusing
him opportunity to procure bail, and ever
the use of pen, ink and paper, or permis
sion to go for the latter. Mr.. Ii. was taken tc
| the castillo, where he was confined in cellar
lying upon a filthy plank (spread upon the
ground, over a gully, which emitted horrible
stench), with his feet fastened in the stocks, for
five hours; after which, the Alcalde finding he
could extort nothing, released him. While on
his way to the Castle, Mr.. H. meeting Sr Villa
verde, an old and well known resident of Cha
gres, stated his case, and requested him to offer
any security for his appearance for trial to the
Alcalde Mr. Villaverde Immediately did SO,
but the bail was peremptorily refused We
are informed that Mr.. Hirsch treated Sr AL
calde Jimenes with all due respect, merely re-
fusing decidedly to accede to his unjust de-
mands
An accident occurred on the Panama Rail.
road on the 1st, by which two persons were
killed, and several others severely injured. The
accident was caused.by the train running upon
a bull, which stood upon the track.
Among the arrivals in the Ohio, on the 10th
announced in the Courier, we notice those o.
George W. Fletcher, Esq, u. s. Consul al
Aspnwall, Col. Thos. w. Worel, U. S. Consul
at Panama, and Mr.. Greig, U. s. Commissioner
for the Sandwich Islands
The Aspinwall Courier of the 18th says:
The weather during the past fortnight ha
been most delightful in our city. And tn
health of the whole Isthmus was never better
MoRE LABoRERs. hundred and twent
/, Carthageniais arrived here night before las
= in the British steamer, for the Panama Rail
road. Fifteen hundred more are to be supple
for the road before the 1st of January.
Rumor says that Mr. Ran Runnels has con
tracted to transport across the Isthmus all bag
gage of passengers on this route between New
York and San Francisco, and is to receive the
said baggage on board the respective steamers
at either Panama or Aspinwall, and deliver
the same on board the other steamer at the
opposite extremity of the transit. This is a
most excellent arrangement, one long urged by
the Isthmus press, and is in good hands.
Great exertions are being made for the rapid
completion of the railroad across the Isthmus.
Lage bodies of men were arriving daily from
the United States, Carthagena and elsewhere.
| 1t was rumored at Aspinwall that the Vice
President of the road was at Liverpool en-
route for China, for the purpose of engaging
| Coolies to put upon the road. 1t is thought q
force of FIVE thousand men will be at work by
| the lst of January, and the connection with
the Pacific is confidently expected by the close
of the coming year.
The Panama Star of the 10Th has the follow
| ing;
| DISTURBANCE AT TABoGA. We learn that
rather a serious disturbance occurred at Ia
boga on Wednesday last. The u s, Consul
having proceeded to that island with an order
from the Governor, i'll accordance with the
| Consular Convention, for the arrest of some
sailors belonging to the American ship Ophir,
two of the sailors Frenchmen) were captured
| by the guard there, and an Italian, who keeps
sailors boarding house on the island, got up
mob to effect their release A fight ensued
between the guard and these men, which re-
| suited in the capture of the Italian aand his
barkeeper, who were placed in the stocks. The
sailors were brought to this city and lodged in
prison, where they will probably remain until
the vessel is ready for sea.
We regret to announce the death of Mr.. Dow
ling, formerly chief officer on board the steamer
Tennessee Mr.. Bowling died on the 9th inst,
at 7 '.5ga.
IL panama Herald of the 4tl inst says,
"we have been informed that passenger by
the Illinois, by the name of James Foley, was
murdered on Monday last between the half way
house and tn yer Cardenas, by a native, at
whose ranch he stopped to drink. Some dispute
having arisen about the payment, and Foley
having excited the negro, the latter drew a
revolver and shot him through the head.
LATER FROM .9USTRLL4.
The Panama Star of the Sth contains two
weeks later news from Austalia, from which We
copy
The accounts from Australia represent the
country as abounding in gold, and trade ant
traffic very brisk.
The Melbourne Argus of the ID August says
Great as the emigration is, the wants and re
quirements Of the colony are fully equal to tn
supply of labor thrown upon the market. A
this moment no person able and willing to wor
need be unemployed. Skilled laborers are earn
ing from 97 to Gl0 per week, and the common
est workmen at f3 to "a. This is Independent
