From sea, the chief emigrants have been
Chinese. Every ten days or SO, somewhere
between 500 and 1000 of these people arrive
at San Francisco. The late clamor against
the race has almost died away in the city. In
the interior, no wever, it is still occasionally
heard pretty loudly. The people of the dit
ferent counties are continually quarrelling
among themselves, and in different parts of
the state they have recently had several pitch
ed battles, in which considerable number of
combatants were slain.

Amphitrite and San Francisco, left ON the I'd,

Zembla from Hong Kong, reported that on
the I'd she was fired into by the Amphitrite,
and compelled to stop and show her papers.

which the most was good, owing to the city,
was sold for few dollars. The Common

for the redemption of the lots and Indebted
ness sold.
The news from the mines continues to be of
a very encouraging description, and the inte-
rior papers talk as if the miners in the differ
ent localities were averaging gains. In the
southern mines the season is represented as
being the most favorable for river and bar dig
ging that had perhaps ever been known there.
More Indian massacres were reported among
the overland immigrants for Oregon.
From the Society Islands the news is that
the war had ceased, and the revolutionary
chief was firmly established on the throne.
