EXPLORING TRIP UP THE SACRAMENTO
Several of the directors Of the California
Steamboat Company have just returned
from an exploring expedition up the
Sacramento, which they made on the
steamer Belle, Captain Glmer. They
reached the mouth of Clear Creek-325
miles from this city-which is fifty miles
higher than any steamboat has ever before
been.
They found a very good river above
Red Bluffs, with one exception, at the
mouth of canon, through which the
river runs over rocks, with fall of about
six feet in hundred yards. The water
was found deeper generally above Red
Bluffs, than for some miles below. By
expending some $4,000 to 100000 in
blasting the rocks through this fall the
navigation to Clear Creek would be rem
dered passibiy good for from four to six
months in the year, and it is the inten-
ton of the company to have the improve
ment at the falls made at an early day.

The silver quarter dollars now issued
from the u. S. Mint, is unlike the ennis
sion Of 1858, being without the rays
around the eagle; but the arrow head on
each side of the date is retained, which
was adopted at the same time with the
rays, to mark the distinction between the
present and the previous legal standard
of purity.

The ISLE OF MEETIA.- A number Of
the French officers at Tahta have paid
visit in the steamer Catinat, to the isle
Meetia 60 miles east Of Tahiti The
island is described as being high, with alb
rupt sides, of volcanic formation, and
covered with more luxuriant vegetation
than any other isle in the Pacific, and
abounding in bananas, bread fruits, cocoa
nuts, taws, sweet potatoes and other fruits
peculiar to the Pacific isles. The island
has small population, but there is not
drop of fresh water to be had on the
