when alongside of the steamer. Two other
boats with passengers and sailors, drifted to
sea and have not since been heard from.

thirty-three ladies with their husbands,

hours in the high sea. Twenty-seven are

The Indian had eight cabin passengers,
thirty Storage passengers, mostly Germans
and HungariaDs, seventy-seven of crew.
When she struck the ledge, she was running
at the rate of eight knots; the weather was
fine but slightly ha2y. The captain was
deceived by soundings. He supposed he
was off Sable Island.

ury on the first of November exceeded five
hundred thousand dollars.
There was over 100000 in the treasury
of San Francisco.
The case of the MERGED Mining Company
and John @. Fremont was under argument
before the Supreme Court. The points at
issue are of the highest Importance as legal
questions, independent of the immense pc
cuniary interest that is involved. They will
doubtless go to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
A correspondent of the Trinity Journal
OF the 29th ult., from Pitt river valley,
mentions several fights between the Indians
and company of volunteers, in which up
wards of twenty Indians were killed and
about the same number captured.
Accounts from the Washoe valley gold
and silver mines continued favorable, and
new discoveries were being constantly made.
Another large amount of ore had arrived at
San Francisco, which assayed from two to
six thousand dollars per ton. The Com
stock vein was traced 1000 feet, and indica-
tions warranted the belief that it extended
ten miles, and is probably the richest silver
mine in the world. New gold discoveries
had been made, which were represented as
important, and notwithstandi ng the latenes
of the season, tie large emigration over the
mountains continued, rendering it probable
that by spring several thousand people will
have reached the ground, ready to commence
operations and labor as soon as the weather
permits
The grand jury OF Carson Valley has
presented report to Judge Cradlebaugh.
Among the subjects treated are the out
RACES upon emigrants by the Mormons, and
the impossibility of the latter living in har-
mony with the American citizens. The
report says: In view Of dissimilar tastes
aud interests, and of the discordant senti-
ments--religious and political--of the
people, we submit that the best interests
of the government of this territory impera-
lively require some remedial legislation on
the part of Congress-"
Sc. LOUIS, Nov. &c, 10 p. M.--The
Overland Mail Of the 4th arrived last night.
Business dull and prices unchanged. Money
in demand the steamer of the 9th would
not take very large shipment. The rainy
season had fairly commenced.
The MOntezuma arrived at San Francisco
on the I'd from the Arctic Ocean, and
reports an unknown ship ashore at Cape
Lisbin. Also the loss of the ship William
Tell, off Sag Harbor ship and cargo a
total loss, crew saved.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26.-The overland mail
with dates to the 4th, arrived last night !;
5000 passengers had arrived at San Fran

Columbia. The latter steamers brought
over 1000 tons of apples from Oregon,
worth from 81 to Sc per hundred pounds.
The telegraph wires were in operation
one hundred and sixty.fve miles easterly
from San Francisco, by the Butterfeld route,
and would probably reach Visalia, 250
miles from San Francisco, by July l.
More improvements were going on in
San Francisco than at any time since 1854,
and the city was claim to be in more
prosperous condition, &c rally, than at ~
time since the revolution | 1855.
Since the discontinuant of the Tehaunte-
pee route, the overland ma has invariably
taken news to California fl IN New York

dates to October 6, reached San Francisco
by the Overland two days earlier than by
Ocean mail, having dates to the 9Th only.
During the month of October 81 ,348,O0O
worth of gold was deposited in the mint at
San Francisco for coinage, among which

Francisco in October was $3,620,000.
Judge Terry had been indicted by the
grand jury of San Francisco county, and
held under $4,000 bail, for the killing of
Broderick.
A proposition for the construction of
horse railways in the streets of San Fran
cisco was before the board of supervisors,
which would probably be favorably acted
upon.
1t was understood in San Francisco that
G. K. Garrison had sold to Vanderbilt his
entire interest in the line of steamships car
rying the mails between that city and New
York, which was regarded as an indication
that the competition between the rival
lines would continue long time.
The public administrator was pressing
suit in the probate court of San Francisco, to
get control of the estate OF the late Senator
Broderick, on the ground that be had 70
living relative at the time of his death. Tie
application was resisted by Mrs. Lucy
Brown, who claims that Mr.. Broderick was
her second cousin, and she was entitled to
the estate as next OF kin.

By the Spanish steamer Mexico, from
Vera Cruz and Sisal, we have advices from
Yucatan to the I'd inst The change of
