| The steamship Daniel Webster, Captain Thons,
D. Lucas arrived yesterday from San Juan De-
! Norte
The Daniel Webster left San Juan on the 23d
instant, at 81 P. M, in company with tbs steam
| ship Star OF she West, for New York The Star
had $50 passengers aud 100000 ia specie for
| New TorI,
! The Daniel Webster brings no rews OF interest
| from the interior Of Central America Col. Wheel
er, the United States Minister, was still at Gre.
NADIA. The country is healthy and the river ard
road in good condition for the travel across the
| Isthmus.
LATER PROM CALIFORNIA.
By the arrival of the steamship Daniel Webster
| we have San Francisco papers 10 the 9th instant,
| nine days later than we hsd by the arrival Of the
steamship Granada The news from California IS
! not very important.
| The San Francisco Price. Current, Of the 7th,
| in its weekly review of the market, says:
During the early part Of the week, or imme-
| dis'ey after the departure of the mail steamer,
| business revived notceably, and for few DAYS
quite brisk trade was done but towards the CLOGS
! things have again receded and as we write every
| thing is quiet and dull. The amount Of goods
| which has been forwarded to the interior, how
| ever during the psst week has been, We think,
larger than during any similar period for two
months past
The Prices Csrrs7s,, 10 it's Gnsueisl review, re-
! msrks:-
During the past week but little Of interest has
transpred in financial circles, and except that con-
fidence Is by degrees beginning to be restored, and
that matters gradually settling down into their
! old channels we have but little to remark on what
would be likely to excite interest. The last s ip-
/ ment Of gold, which fsr exceeded in amount tne
! general expec stions has been productive OF much
good by retroactive process, and has nspired our
| community with gresteF confidence in them
| selves. The Intermediate remittance this time will
not be- large but the next msil will probably carry
| forward fair amount Of bullion, TO relieve our
Atlantic friends and assist them in their shipments
! to Europe.
Dust has been more plenty than usual on the
street durirg the past week and the assay officers
are crowded with parcels deposited on account Of
the miners snd interior traders as well IS the city
! merchants and bankers. The principal deposits at
present for coinage, is usually the case in the
intervals between the departures Of the mail steam
ers. The quality of the dust offering in the mar
| ket is however, generally poor, sure sign that
the miners are boarding and are willing 10 part
! with their best earnings. In fact, the merchants
| Of the interior find it very ficult to dispose OF
their goods on this very account, and there is not
| coin enough in the country 70 gives far impetus
| TO the dust trade.
| The Prize, Ctl,Tent aso nstea with pleasure the
! growing signs Of improvement in the coasting
trade, both North and South.
