From Cdlifornia-Ihe Boiler Explosion
Receipts of Treasure.

SAN Francisco, Oct. ID.
The loss of life by the explosion Of the boil
er Of the steamer Gesmate proves greater than
was at first reported. Twenty-Five whites and
thirty-two Cinnamon were killed, and thirty
two whites were wounded. The following are
some additional names of the killed:
James II. Barnes of New Hampshire; ii
M. Daken of New York; Louis Lille of Mis-
sissippi; Col. Jacks of San Francisco; A. @.
Smith of Boston.
Business is rather quiet. High prices and
limited consumption check speculation! The
receipts of treasure for the last nine months
amount to $43,O0O,000, gain over the same
period last year of 100000. The coinage
at the mint tor the last nine months posts up
over 81 100000.

PORTLAND & ROCHESTER, RAILRoAD.-We
understand that measures have been taken at
Portland, Me-, towards the organization of a
Company bearing the above name, and at a
meeting held on the 18th inst, John McDulfie,
Esq, President of Rochester Bank of this
town, was chosen one of the Directors of the
new corporation. We have not learned what
business TRANSFERRED at the meeting, but proba-
bly, immediate efforts will be made to extend
Ine York and Cumberland road from Alfred,
Me-, to this place. We have before given our
reasons why we believe this to be both feast
bic and profitable enterprise. The York and
cumberland is already good paying road, and
0y making it through competing route to
Boston and eventually to New York, besides
bidding for the trade of all this section OF New
Hampshire which now goes to Boston, there
is no possible reason why it should not be as
good a paying road as any in New England

MONEY MATTERS IN NEW YoRK.-Fhe
New York Commercial of Saturday afternoon
says the monetary stringency appears to have
reached its climax. There is no difficulty in
borrowing on the street at Z per cent.
The demand for money from the West is
very pressing. The Eastern balances here are
very low and the disposition of capitalists in
New England is to employ their means in in
dustrial enterprise.
Private bankers who have large amounts of
money in Boston find it impossible to get it
home.
Governments are active, especially seven
thirties. The Railroad list is generally strong
err rs
The partial relief in money has reduced the
number of forced sales, and there is more dis
position to buy in anticipation of an upward
tendency in prices next week. Discounts are
active. Gold is less active.

recently been erected for the use of the Cen
gregational Society of that place, near Their

who, not only by liberal contributions have
aided in its construction, but also to the ladies',
who have rendered efficient service in this good
work. The cash receipts of the Levee were
$270, which, we learn, will very nearly com
plete the payments required on the new yes

choice edibles found ready purchasers, and IL e

could appreciate its tempting viands. The
whole affair was a complete success, and was
made still further pleasant by the presentation
