Horrible Cntnatr0nhe.

BY the arrival of the 50. L"ui~, at San
Francisco, on the eth instant, We learn the
heartrending fact that the Gohjen G'dte,
bound from. San Francisco to Panama,
was destroyed by fire, at sea, on the 9th
ult., about fifteen miles Northwest Of
Manzanillo harbUr. The particulars of
the catastrophe. that have reached US, arc
very meagre and unsatisfactory, but show
large loss Of life, particularly among the
passengers, two-thirdS Of the crew, inclu-
ding the Captain, having been saved. {.
ID. Bonnestel, Of this city, was among the
passengers on the Inflated steamer, and
as his name does not appear in the list Of
"saved, nit is supposed that he persisted.
He may, however, have escaped, as one
boat, containing about twenty-five per-
sons, is supposed to have missed the lar-
Dor in the dark, and to be somewhere in
its vicinity, safe. We sincerely hope
Charley" was Oh that boat and that we
NAV soon hear Of his safety. We take
the following particulars from the C"iO"'S
dispatch:
