Latest from California,

By the Northern Light, arrived last
Thursday, we have the following inter
csting news from San Francisco ::
A violent shock of an earthquake was
felt 10 this city on the morning Of the
18th. The people we're aroused from their
sleep and hundreds rushed frantically ia.
to the streets in their night clothes,
The shock lasted about twenty-five Sec
onds, and was preceded by a rambling
sound like distant thunder. No material
damage was done to property. The fire.
wall fell from one brick store, tho plas-
tering was more or less cracked in a good
many buildings, and 10 some instances
slight assures are created in brick walls.
A great many timid people were terribly
frightened for a time, but they were soon
led to believe that there was no danger.
1t was the most severe shock of which
we have any recount in San Francisco.
The report of the engineer who made
the preliminary survey for a railroad
from Sacramento to Benicia has Just been
published. The distance is 90 miles. and
it is estimated that the road can be con.
structcd for S3,00O,000. A survey is
about being made for a railroad from
Stockton to San Francisco, and a project
for a railroad from Marysvillc to BENZ
cia is also exciting a good deal of atten.
ton at the former place.
Much indignation has been manifest
ed in this city in consequence of the re-
cent appointment of j. Y. McDufie to
the post of United States NJ lrshal for
the Northern District of California. The
party named was for years a professional
gambler in Marysville,a and it is supposed
the President has been imposed upon, or
he would not have made such an appoint
meDt. Strong petitions for his removal,
signed without distinction of party. will
be forwarded to the President; 50 strong.
indeed, that a remova! will be almost
certain to follow.
Six persons were fined $3.50 in one
of our Courts, on the llth instant, for
keeping gOmbling.houses We have a
very stringent law for the suppression of
gambling, and whenever it is enforced
it has a most salutary fleet. This vice
is gradually diminishing in this city and.
throughout the State and of late gam
bling is seldom witnessed in public
places.
The last mail took out the news of
the explosion Of the steamer Belle, on
the Sacramento river, 90 the morning of
the 9th inst, but without any of the par
t%iculars. About thirty lives were lost.
On the 18th, we were called to record
a sorrowful casualty two women and
two children, while riding with some
others in a carriage BY the margin Of a
small lake near this city, were drowned
by the overturn:ng Of the carriage into
the water.
On the I4th, the clipper schooner
