Arrival of the Golden Ga

Arrival of the Golden Gate.
The steamship Golden gate arrived at
San Francisco at O'Clock, p. NJ, on
Sunday last, in twelve days from Panama
with $50 passengers. But little sickness
during the voyage and no deaths
CONDITION OF THE RAILROAD. The
Aspinwall Courier of the 14th says, that
there are only three mites of unbroken
ground on the line of the road, and the
lahorers are working within that distance
of each other, from the Atlantic and
Pacific terminus respectively. Thirty-six
miles of rails are laid from our city, and
six miles more are graded, while from
Panama there are two mi es of track aid
and four graded. The passengers by the
present steamers will go over thirty four
of the thirty six mi eS, which leaves them
sixteen miles of mule travel. Passengers
by the next run viii have less than TIVE We.
The average rate of mule travel for the
most inexperienced, is four miles an hour.
Congress was to have ad journed in Au
gust. Senator Gwin is expected here on
the next steamer, and McDougaIl and
Latham on the steamer following.
The treaty with Mexico has been CON
summated. 1t was ratified upon the 3Oth
of June, and soon after General Alnonte
presented himself at the Treasury De-
partment and received Secretary Guthrie's
check on the Sub Treasury at New York
for $7,OOO,OOO. This is undoubtedly the
largest check ever drawn in this country,
and probably the largest that will ever be
paid in coin at once. len NIL ions OF
dollars is paid to Mexico altogether, three
millions of which is reserved until the
boundary line is run.
There were only six votes against the
treaty in the Senate. In the House of
Representatives it passed by large ma
jority.
A large body of Mormon emigrantS

The Rhode Island Supreme Court has

A slight shock Of an earthquake was
felt at Cincinnati on the 23d June, the
vibrations appearing to pass from north

objects.
Santa Anna has issued decree de-
caring all departments, districts and

Notwithstanding Barnum's great effort
to revive the pecuniary profits OF the

Foreign News.
The news from the seat of war is in
teresting but not of great Importance.
The army in Turkey cannot as yet be
said to have taken the field in earnest, and
the reports from GalipoIi and Constant-
nople resemble more the proceedings of
field day or a grand military review.
Some of the troops have been sent to
Varna, but as yet have not been brought
face to face with the enemy.
Omer Pacha is in Siistra, and the
Turkish army of the Danube appear to
be the only real actor in the struggle.
The vast Russian army brought by Pas
kiewitch against the fortress of Silistria
have not found it easily to be taken as
they hoped for. The attacks have been
made with great vigor, but unsurcessfully,
and with result always in favor of the
Turks: PaskIewitch himself is reported
AS wounded, and obliged to give the com
mand to some general with an unpro-
nounceable name In the meantime the
altered policy of Austria, and the move
Russian army of invasion to change its
mode Of operations, so as to guard as well
against Austria as Turkey, and Circassia
threatens Russia in Asia
Numbers Of foreigners are daily leaving
Russia being in dread of an internal rev
olutlon, brought about by general dis
content among the people, of the Auto
crafts policy.
Our latest news confirms the fact of the
retirement of the Russians upon Jassey,
the most important event we have to
record for some weeks. We are now
enabled to state that it is decided that
10000 troops shall 90 to Varna, and we
understand it is contemplated that 40, 900
should go TO Sebastopol. The Importance
of destroying the Russian fleet in the
Black Sea is paramount to almost all
other objects, except of course, the i'm
mediate relief of SiIlstria Troops will
no doubt march by land, hut the move
ments will be so that he Russians shall
have little intmaton of what is preparing
for them as possible. Up to this period
the fortress of SillStria holds out nobIy.
The Russians gave out that Mussa Pacha,
the gallant commander, had been xii ed
by a cannon bali, but we know he is
alive, and viii yet live TO kill more of the
enemy in downright earnest 4 II accounts
concur that the Russians in the salies of
the beseged, and the blowing up of the
mines of the besiegerS, have suffered Sc
verely. We have no formal accounts Of
these bloody encounters, but the losses
are computed by thousands. The English
forces are encamped at Devna, eighteen
mi es from Varna, on the banks OF Lake,
which protects the position. We have
no doubt the cava.ry will come up just at
the right moment An honorable emuIa-
ton and the best understanding prevail
between the Eng ish and French troops.
