The News.

The Daniel Webster, from Aspinwall which port
she left the 4th inst arrived at this port last
evening with the mails and passengers that left
San Francisco on the 10th ult board the steamer
Uncle Sam. Nothing had been heard of the North
Star, then fifteen days out from New York whom
the Daniel Webster sailed. An unusually severe
storm had swept along the enttre coast of Central
America, and several vessels In the ports were
compelled to put to sea for safety. At Aspm wall
tho heavy sea caused by the gale had seriously
damaged the wharf and buildings thereon, and the
railroad track also sustained some injury. e. Fl.
Hamm o passenger on board the Daniel Webster
Is missing, and is supposed to have fallen over
board.
The Daniel Webster brings news from Havana
to the 9th inst, one day later. The markets were
unchanged. Five hundred and sixty.dve Coolies
had been landed from ship from Whampoa.
Forty five Of the origin Il number died on the voy-
age. The steamship Mexico had arrived from Vera
Cruz-date not given-with the usual reports Of
civil convusions in that country. Our correspond
ent states that Gen. Concha had expressed favor
able opinion of the policy Of his successor, Gen.
Serano, and hoped that he would eudeavor to main
tain friendly feeling towards the United States
The system Of slave certificates was abrogated az
negro population. Its introduction was loudly ad-
vocated by British abolitionsts as means of check
ing the slave trade, but more Africans have been
landed since its enforcement than in any equal
space of time previous.
By the arrival of the overland mail we have ai-
vices from San Francisco to the Gath ut four days
later than the accounts brought by way Of the
Isthmus. Business exhibited no improvement
The clipper ship Mastf, bound from San Francisco
to Hong Kong, when five days out, on the 18th
ult, was destroyed by fire. Her passengers and
crew, and 100000 in specie, were taken to Homo
lulu by the ship Achilles.
We have received files Of the Concrete of La
guayra, Venezuela, to the 25th ult The papers
contain intelligence Of the capture Of the town of
Carnpano, after bloody combat, which lasted
twenty-seven hours. The rebels were dislodged
from their positions, and dispersed on all sides.
The principal chiefs of Cumana-fortysx in num-
ber-on receiving the news were seized with terror,
and attempted to escape to foreign parts, but they
were apprehended by the war steamer Union and
sent prisoners to Laguayra. "The republic" says
the Concrete, lis saved. The wicked fall under
the enormous weight OF opinion. Venezuela Ia about
to occupy again the first place among the repub-
lies Of Spanish America" The place was defended
by over $50 rebels, well entrenched and the govern
ment force that defeated them numbered over
500 men. Coro was tranquil in the occupation Of
government troops. Some rather sharp cores
pondence had taken place between the government
of Venezuela and the commander Of the French
naval squadron In reference to the imprisonment
Of French subject and the retiring Of the exequa
tur Of the Consul Of France. The tone of the COM
mandant is high, and that Of the government very
firm in upholding its rights. The rebels were every
where In woful plight.
Reports from Hayd, dated at Port an Prince
on the 22d ult, state that twenty persons had
been convicted of engaging in the late conspt
racy against the government, and that sixteen
OIL them were executed. Many military men were
sentenced to various terms Of imprisonment for
the same offence, but most of them had escaped to
France. President Gerhard had issued severe de-
cree against persona engaged in promoting civil
disorder OF dissensions amongst the people. When
ouiouque In jamaica heard of the assassination Of
Gediards daughter, he requested . priest to offer
up high mass Of Thanksgiving, but the CLERGYMAN
sefused. This horrible fact greatly enraced the
Alaytiens against he extled Emperor,
