~ If the Go}iah should regularly leave San
Francisco on arrival of the Eastern mail. she
would bring the express matter for the klamath,
Salmon. Trinity, &c., because it would reach
those points this way earlier than by way Of the
Sacramento. Instead Of receiving Eastern news
first by way of Weavcryllc and Salmon, as we
have most Of this season. We could send it to
those places, and eEprCSsmen would be here rea-
dv. on the arrival OF the steamer to carry out
loads OF Eastern papers and packages. The
steamer can usually reach this place from San
Francisco in thirty hours, and consequently mat
ter could be deposited here as early as at Marys-
Vile. We could certainly then supply all the
klamath and Salmon, and also Hoopa and The
lower Trinity, and with good expresses would be
equal if not ahead, in time as far up the Trinity
as Weaycryillc
We take the above from the Humboldt Times Of
Sept 18th. In regard to supplying us with At
lantc news earlier byway Of Humboldt Bay than
the Sacramento Valley route, we very much
doubt. Usually we have Atlantic news in Wea-
ycryillo within thirtysiX hours after the arrival
Of the steamer at San Francisco, and very often
sooner If the st, amer arrives in San Francisco
before 10 o'clock, r. NJ, the news by her is tele-
graphcd to the Sacramento and Marysyillo pa
pers in time far their morning issue. BY noon Of
luC lOllOWlbg Qdy We HdFC btCuHlCt Hc"a III "
veryilc The Times tells Us that the steamer
can usually reach that place in thirty hours
Judging from the marine report Of that paper,
the steamer is generally much over that time
reaching Humboldt Bay, and very often on her
arrival cannot enter on account of fogs gales
Be- and sometimes we notice that San Francisco
news is received via Trinidad.
Even could the steamer regularly reach Hum
boldt Bay in thirty hours, it would be from TWEEN
ty-four to thirtys more before it could arrive
at this place, making the time from San Francis
co to this place certainly not less than sixty hours
to say nothing of the delay consequent upon the
departure OF the coast steamer from San Francis
co, after the arrival Of the mail steamer.
The probabilities are, that in a few months
more, with wagon road and telegraph facilities
we shall receive Atlantic papers from San Fran
cisco in forty to fifty honrs, and steamer news in
half as many minutes after its arrival at the Bay
We are decidedly in favor of the quickest and
best route whether by humboldt Bay or the
Sacramento Valley, but we cannot believe that
San Francisco news will ever be received first
via the former route.

ESCAPE OF AN ANAcoNDA--A Uibernlap
applied to police officer in Philadelphia,
one day last week. stating tina; there was a
big bulldog in his cellar that he wanted
removed. The officer was conducted into
the cellar, ana was somewhat astonished at
putting his foot on something Shiny, and
soon after hearing loud Kissing noise,
which caused him TO attempt to retreat
He very soon, however, found himself
wound around by 4 large anaconda, some
fifteen feet in length. The officer seized
the snake by the back of the neck with a
firm grippe, and held him in that manner
until the owner Of the snake arrived on the
spot, when it was secured and the officer
relieved. The officer was badly bruised by
the close embrace # the snake, which WAS
one of three recently brought to Philadel-
phia by Capt Wilson, who had them con
veved to his house in Front street, from
which the one above mentioned had cS-
capped.

From a lengthy statement In the n. \.
Herald, we learn that in the United States
trere are $4,000 miles of overland tele-
graph actually completed. In the rest OF
the world there are 44OO miles of overland
telegraph, as follows: South America,
/ 800; Europe. $1,000; India, 5000. In
Europe and India, there are from 5000 to
1000 miles (included above) which are
unfinished but which will probably all be
in operation within the next SIX months
The number of miles ofsubmarine telegraph
finished, in the whole globe, is $50, to
which 100 miles will be added by the
completion of the Atlantic telegraph
making a grand total! overland and sub
marine, of $1,000 miles.

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA

Halifax, August 2e.-The royal mail
steamship America, Captain Laing, from
Liverpool, Saturday. 9Th inst, arrived
this morning.
The advices furnished, are three three
days later than previously received, and
contain important intelligence relative to
the submarine telegraph cable, the affairs
in India, DC.
The Atlantic Telegraph cable parted
when $50 miles from the Irish shore, on
the ll!h inst, and the vessels comprising
the fleet were returning to England.
The directors Of the Telegraph Compa-
NY were still sanguine CT ultimate success,
and a conference was held at London, on
Saturday 18th, to determine whether again
to proceed with the laying of the cable
or postpone further action until next sum-
mer.
Telegraphic advices from the Indian
mail announce that Delhi had not fallen up
to the 9th Of June
No further mutiny occurred in the Ben
gal army, which is considered defunct.-
The Bombay aad Madras armies remained
loyal.
The Dews is considered favorable, and
caused an advance in consols.
The Chinese news is unimp ortant.
Proceedings of Parliament were Of no
American interest
Charles Knight was appointed British
consul for Pennsylvania
1t is rumored that it was decided during
Napo'eon's visit to Osborne that, in case
the English and French missions were un-
successful, to take more decided action.
and to have the East Indiana Company de-
spatch 10000 troops.
Advices by overland mail state that Del
hi had not fallen, up to the 9th of June.
The rebels had made several desperate
sorties but were repulsed with great
slaughter.
The rebellion had been crushed at Ar
ungzabad.
AdvIces from Madrid state that the Mex
lean enjoy had notified the Mexican Gov
eminent that the Spanish Government had
suspended negotiations, and that conse.
quently Mexican subjects in Spain were
placed under the protection Of the French
Government.

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC
New York. Aug. 81.

New York, Aug. 81.
The Collins steamship Atlantic arrived
at g. o'clock Sunday morning, from Liv
erpool 80 a. m. on the 18th inst. She
signaled the Persia on the Gath and saw
the Fulton off Cape Race on the 26th.-
The Asia arrived out at a. m. on the six
teenth.
The news by the arrival is unimpor-
tant.
The Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph
Co. were to hold special meeting in Lon
don, the day the Atlantic sailed. to consid-
er whe Their he attempt should be renewed
in October or deferred until another sum-
mer. The London Star says it is esiima-
ted that the outside loss the company will
sustain will be about twenty-five thousand
pounds.
1t is fully expected that at least one halt
the sunken cable will be recovered. All
that is within four hundred fathoms will
be got up. but that portion in deep sea
will in all probability never be recovered.
The proceedings of Parliament were un-
interesting. The recent storms and floods
had done considerable damage to the crops
&c, in various parts of England, but dry
weather had prevailed during the days pre-
ceding the Atlantic's departure. and it was
reported that the effects of the rain woald
be much aleviated.
The London Times says merchant re.
Gently deceased at Liverpool, is said to have
left liabilities reaching $780, 600. Of which
f1Oo,0OO are through forged acceptances

pronounces the story hoax.

on the 10Th of August and would take out
fI,250, 900 sterling in silver.
