TWELVE DAYS LATER.

ARRIVAL OF THE HABANA FROM MINAT1rLAN.
The steamship Habana, Capt. Mcconnell, from
Minatitlan I'd. inst, arrived yesterday afternoon,
bringing advices from California to the Goth nlt.
Mr.. sidell, Chief Engineer Of the Tehuantepec Rail
road, came passenger in this steamer accompanied
by his assistants, &c in number.
Left In port, British brig Her Majesty, and Ameri.
can schooner Suffolk, from Vera Cruz.
Although the Habana arrived at her wharf at 6
o'clock, could not get usual papers, in conse-
qnence of the seizure by the Post. Office of Freeman
s. Co.'s express bags, on charge that they conveyed
unpaid letters. If such step was contemplated be-
forehand it would have been at least reasonable to
make arrangements for the immediate examination
into the truth lsy of the charge on the arrival
of the steamer, that the public might not be kept
waiting longer than necessary for their letters and
papers.
So far as we can learn from the few papers in our
hands, nothing of unusual interest or importance had
transpred in the Golden State since previous advices

"Peoples Party has been organized in San
Francisco, and on the 18th meeting was held and
delegates from each district were appointed as
nominating convention. The meeting adopted the
| following resolutions:
Resolred, That the success and usefulness Of the
Peoples party, in this city and county-composed
it is, Of citizens holding every shade of diverse po
ltcal opinions-depends upon its rigid adherence to
the line Of policy marked out by the Peoples Con-
ventions Of 1856, 1857 and 1868, "to keep entirely
aloof from direct or indirect association with any
partisan organization, and to nominate no one for
Office who s delinquent in his taxes, would accept
ticket, or who acknowledges featy to any political
party Or organization whatever in connection with
municipal AFFAIRS"
Resolved, That it is inexpedient for the Peoples
Committee to make Legislative nominations, pro-
vded the political parties put in nomination tickets
composed of men of known integrity, and who are
pledged to and be relied upon for inexorable and
persistent opposition to all Bulkhead other kindred
schemes to rob the city Of her rights to all special
legislation for the benefit of particular interests
individuals at the expense of the city and county al
large.
| From the San Francisco Herald Of the goth We ex
tract the following:
@. K. Garrison. ESQ., who has been, for some clever
months past, occupied in organizing an opposition
passenger line between San Francisco and New York
leaves by to-day's steamer for the East. We regre
to learn that it is his present purpose to remain Of
the Atlantic side. He intendsto settle in New York
with the view OF experimenting in person the affair
Of the Company, while his son, William R. Garrison
Esq, will remain as the agent in control Of the Com
pany's interests in San Francisco
In noticing the fact that halibut have been caugh
of fine size and in considerable numbers in bay
we suggested that they were probably part of
school from Puget Sound; but this seems to be al
error The fish Is undoubtedly native of our waters
Yesterday we saw several weighing from one poun
to pound and half, on the stand Of Messrs. spenc
b Tesmore, in Washington market, and the appear
ance of halibut of that size leads to the belief tina
they were natives Of the waters of Yuba Buena.
