Lard steady; sales unimportant at 81 to
82s.
Arrival OF the Illinois.
New YORK, Dec. 29.-The steamship
Illinois has arrived from Aspinwall, bring
ing San Francisco dates to the 9th inst.
She left Aspiwall on the 10Th inst.
and has on board three hundred passen-
gers brought down by the steamer Golden
Age.
The Illinois brings forward nearly 8l,-
100000 in gold.
The reports from the mining districts
are favorable although there was still a
want Of rain in some districts.
Richard P. Hammond, ex-Collector at
San Francisco, has been acquitted on the
charge of defrauding the General Govern
ment, while in Office.
Business in San Francisco generally was
dull. The money market, however. con-
tinued unchanged. The jobbing rates for
Gallego Flour was $15 so; Hams $19 l2;
Lard $96; N. o. Sugar ll4c; Clear
Pork $42.
The news from Oregon and Washing
ton Territories is unimportant.
The U. s. steam frigate Wabash left
Aspinwall on the 10th inst. for New York
via Havana.
The ammunition, stores and crew which
the Wabash brought for the St. Marys,
was transported to its destination in good
order, on Wednesday the l7th.
The experiment of relieving and sup
plying a man-of-war via. the Isthmus, has
resulted so successfully that, we presume
the plan will beIpermanently adopted.
The U. S. ship Cyane remained at AS
pinwall.
The community of the Isthmus is, o.
course, extremely solicitous respecting the
arrangements now on the tapis between the
United States and New Granada, and thu
anxiety is increased by the utter lack o
any inklings Of tho probable result with
which even the presence Of the U. s. En-
voy has failed to furnish the curious. In
spite, however, of our future, and the ig'
norance in which affairs are enveloped, .
feeling of confidence pervades the foreign
community.
A farewell entertainment was given a
Panama on the 18th, by the American res
idents Of that city, to Commodore Bale,
and his officers Of the U. s. sloop-of- wa
St. Marys.
The Panama Star contains an account o
the war in Nicaragua, confrmatory of tn
accounts received here by the Tennessee
but includes nothing new.
A British squadron arrived at Pnam
on the 9th inst. Its object is said to be t
examine into the practicability of establish
ing naval depot in the Bay Of Panama
probably at Tobago.
A letter from Carthagenia, dated No,
23d, states that the British difficulty still
continued, and the blockade of the Ney
Granadian ports would commence imme
diately.
Valparaiso dates are to Nov. 10th, an
Guayaquil to Dec. lst.
Business at Valparaiso was dull, and tn
markets were well supplied. Copper wa
} held at $50.
The revolution in Peru was on the il
crease. Two of the Government vessel
had gone over to the revolutionists, an
President Castillo had denounced their o.
fcers and crews as pirates. He has ser
three armed ships in pursuit, and author
lied the vessels Of any nation to seize then
One of these insurgent vessels, the steam
er Apurimac, had overhauled the BIRTHS
Mail steamer Santiago, on her way frol
Callao to Valparaiso, and taken from HI
all the Peruvian mails. 1t was though
that Castillo would be able to suppress til
revolution, as the Convention would vo
him extraordinary powers.
