 Of the gold by the Central America, it is es- tmated that abont S1,oopOOO is insured in London and S5O0,O0O here. The gold com ing to Duncan, Sherman & Co.,. Robt. Hallett lS Co.,. Hoag x Co.,, Wells Fargo X Co.,, How land & Aspinwall is insured abroad; Messrs Drexeli's shipment, which is only another one, is largely insured here. The insurance com. pany has resolved to pay the loss at once, upon proof of the loss, without taking advantage of the thirty days allowed them. The foreign insurance will be paid at the same time, ac- cor'ling to a clause in the policies.
 The steamer was valued at S3OOOO0 and was not insured. The company does not in- sure any of its ships. The freight list and other papers of the ship were all on board and duplicates cannot be obtained from San Fran cisco under five or six weeks. The aggregate loss will be nearly S2,25O,OOO in treasure about two-thirds of which is insured in Lon don. The loss, therefore, to our market will consist mostly in the delay of settlement, and this is already provided against to great ex- tent.
 Messrs. Satter & Church, who have abon, S250OOO by each steamer, are insured in the following offices: Atlantic 14 Great Western 14, Pacific k and Union Mutual 3& spe- cial shipment of $5OOO0 is covered by the general policy of the Messrs.
