Later from Panama.

The Star referring to the terrible riot and
bloodshed on the 18th of April says:
We regret that we are unable to give any
information as to the names of the killed and
wounded which cannot be known with accu-
racy until the waybills from New Yorl,
and San Francisco are compared.
II will be satisfactory to know that, on the
evening of the 18th, Col Thomas w. Ward,
U. 5. Consul, was early on the ground, and ex.
erted himself in every way to prevent blood.
shed, and in restraining the excited passengers,
who would, doubtless, otherwise have been
sacrificed. Ever since the event, the Consul
has been actively engaged in collecting evil
dence relative to the affair, and the slaughter
OF American citizens, the robberies of their
persons, and the ontrages on their property,
and has collected large mass of Important
evidence, which goes on by this mail, to be
laid before the proper department at Washing!
ton.
1t is further satisfactory to be able to state
that the officers of the Railroad Company
present on the night of the 18th, Messrs. Gem
ter, Johnson, Ne lson, and others, as we'll as
the officers of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, Capt. McLane, Agent; Messrs:
Corwlne, knight, Holman, and others, ,ogeth-
or with some OF the native and foreign resi-
dents of Panama, did all they could to prevent
the catastrophe; and afforded all the assistance
in their power to the wounded and terrified pas
sengers, and have taken such steps as lay in
their power to prevent ITS repetition.
The opportune arrival of Capt Bailey, of
U. S. sloop-of-war St. Mary's with the precau-
tionary measures adopted by him, has restored,
to great extent, the public confidence, and
Iessehed the fear of another similar disaster
Since the 18th, the passengers per steamers
Cortes, Uncle Sam and Golden Age, with the
treasure and mails have all been landed and
passed across the road in safety as have also
the British mails, passengets and specie; and
the passengers by the Philadelphia and West
Endiasteamers have arrived from Aspinwall and
safely embarked here. The citizens have
formed guard for tho protection of property,
and the authorities have placed force at the
disposal of the companies, SO that there is no
prospect of repetition Of the catastrophe to
deter passengers from travelling by this route.
