SAN FRGScIsco, November IS, 1868.
The only arrivals from your port since the date Of
my last letter have been the bark Cambridge Nov

been the Asa Eldridgc en- route to China Nov. LIST.
The steamer Montana sails to-day with very light
freight In reviewing the state Of the markets we
notice that business has not been as active as was
observed a month ago. Many circumstances have
co-operaied 20 depress business in nearly every de-
pariment Of traffic. Our merchants, however are
apparently doing prosperous business for the sea-
son. Although there is a scarcity Of money at pres
emit vet we have not been affected by the late bull
and-bear operations in Wall Street New York.
Whenever stringency occurs here, tits real, aris-
ing from the scarcity Of coin, and the scarcity just
now is due to the more extensive employment of
money all over the State. A great deal q coin has
been paid over farmers while their products are
living unsold in our warehouses, which at present
hold considerably more grain than ever before.
The tonnage supply in our bay is liberal, there
being no less than "A vessels, including ships and
banks at present disengaged.
We have now four ships on the berth loading -four,
wheat, etc. for Hongkong; eight ships loading for
New York, and six for Liverpool, with breadstufis
chiefly In this connection, We notice that the wla-
ling bark Fanny has just cleared for New Bedford
with full cargo Of oil, consigned to Swift Allen.
The whaling arrivals at this port thus far this
show average Of 594 barrels Of OIL and :, 2G5
fbs Of bone TO each vessel including Il vessels The
last arrival was the whaleship John Howland, from
Plover Bay, reporting $50 bbls of OIL and 1900

The loss Of the two ships, Haze Hawaii and CORN

San Francisco.
The city has been placed in the hands OF
the masons and carpenters since the earth
quake of September 21st. Fallen walls in
few places, and hundreds of injured houses
in various parts of the city, are being restored
10 their former condition. The greatest
damage to life arose from the falling chin
neys, Prevails and cornices at the tops of
the buildings. People during the shake made
for the streets-the killed were intercepted at
the door-steps by falling bricks. 1t has be-
come maxim of safety-infallible probably
that during an earthquake, stay in the
house; or if on the sidewalk, run in. In
most other earthquake countries, people run
out when their houses are shaken up.
The damages are estimated aslow as $780,

is quite as much 10 the dctriment of future

THE NEW Haze EAwAu.-It is reported
that the ship JuliGn-which is to be fitted for
whaling under the command of Capt. John
Heppingstone, late of the Haze Haicdii, lost
during the last season-is TO be rechristened
with the name of her predecessor. This
would seem TO be very appropriate, as the
officers and many of the crew of the Hae have
sailed out of this port with Captain II. for
the past four or five seasons, and although it
may be said that they have been invariably
lucky, it can be added also that they are as
daring and skillful a set of whalemen as ever
lowered a boat or brought cedar and black
skin in contact. Up to the time when the
Haze Hdiodii was unfortunately lost in a Sc

A BARBARous AssAULT.-On Saturday last,
about noon, two sailors belonging to a whale
ship in port, entered licensed liquor retail
ing establishment, and finding the only occu-
pant at the time beside the bar-keeper, mate
of ship, applied to the latter some very OPP
probrious language, and without-as was
testified TO in the police court on Monday
receiving the slightest provocation, pro-
ceeded, with the assistance of two more con-
federates, to bang and bruise the mate most
outrageously The two confederates got
away, but the two principals were arrested,
and on Monday were fined by the police
magistrate, one fifty, and the other forty dol
lars, with costs. We care not TO particularize
the details of this peculiarly brutal and I'M
provoked affair, but we fully agree with the
magistrate when he remarked that such men
as the two principal aggressors in this case,
o'Brien and Kelley, were decidedly unwel-
come additions to our population.

SUPERIOR MISS BEEF.-It is gratifying to
observe the constant progress and perfection
of our Island produce. We were present the
other day at an inspection of salt beef put up
in barrels for the use of whaleships and mer-
chant vessels. The quality of the meat was
really tempting, and inviting strong appe-
tite. Taken from the very best cattle, cured
and packed in Liverpool and Turks Island

an article cannot fail to give the fullest salts

The seal catching on St. Paul's and St.
Georges Islands, of the Aleutian Islands, has
been prosperous the past season TO the few
engaged in that business. The Cdldera and
Peru, arriving at Honolulu, and the Wood
1Cdrd and other vessels arriving at San Fran
cisco from those islands, have been well
freighted with skins. Two hundred thousand
skins is the gross catch of the past season.
The seals frequent the beaches of the islands
above mentioned, and are easily killed with
clubs, and their skins, well dried and sailed,
are stored away ready for shipment They
are fur seal, but the skin requires consider
able preparation to become saleable. They
are shipped to London, where the furricrs
pluck out the long coarse fur, leaving very
fine, short under fur, which, when colored,
makes the skin equal in beauty and similar
to the otter. When prepared, medium sized
skins are worth in first hands $50 They
have of late years become fashionable and
popular for mufis, tippets, and other fur ar
ticles of dress
The seal of one year old is about the size
of fox; of two years, Newfoundland dog
and of three years, or full-grown, young
calf They live many years. On st. Georges
Island the natives have for eighteen success
siye seasons put a mark on q sealthat has for
that number of years not failed to return to
his fayorite beach and report himself alive
and hearty.
The Russian Company protected sealing by
regulations that limited the number that
might be killed every year, and also forbade
the killing Of the young and the female seals
The past being transition year, no regula-
tons on that point have been in force, though
the sailors have been provident of their own
accord Congress has passed law forbid
ding further sealing until it shall determine
under what protective laws to place the pros
eeution of the business; consequently there
will be no sealing for the season of 1859.
The work is mostly done by the Indians, who
receive stated price per skin, paid in goods
from the stations on the islands. There are

Life at sea has little variety. The monoto-

shifting clouds, aud the uneasy vessel are the
only objects claiming observation, and they
soon cease 10 be attractive to the listless
traveller
The steamer Montana met with but indif-
ferent success on her voyage over in Compel
ing with schedule time. She left Honolulu
with strong trades and rough head sea, and
though both ought to have given way in two
or three days TO more favorable winds and
smoother water, II was her fate to steam on
against both all the way over. Leaden, sun
less skies, with a strong easterly wind and a
head sea, neutralized the motive power of
her engines, and set at naught the skill and
seamanship Of her pleasant commander. But
sea-voyages usually terminate, in time, by
arrival at the destined port, and impatient
passengers at length are put ashore, and for
get their past uneasiness in new scenes and
active employments. So the Montana in Is

and her passengers disappeared in the streets
