SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2l.-The date
for the opening of the Bank of Cali
fornia seems still indefinite. 1t has
been variously stated the re.opening
would take place on the lst of October
on the 9th inst, and on the 4th proX-
imo. On inquiring at the Bank this
morning it was stated byan officer OF
that institution, and also by prominent
gentlemen of the Directors, that no
time has yet been fixed for the reopen
ing, and at present it is impossible to
do so. 1t was, however intimated
that it twould take place about the first
of October. Numerous irresponsible
statements have been made positively
that the Bonk would open at stated
dates, which have been published for
the last two or three weeks. They
have tended to produce feeling OF
uneasiness as to when resumption
would really take place, the delay that
has occurred being considered by ma
ny Indicative of uncertainty as to
whether the opening would be affect
ed at all. Most positive assurances
are, however, given by the directors
that all such conjectures are entirely
unwarrantable and that resumption is
fixed fact, but that the precise time
is contingent upon the arrangement OF
details of minor moment.
Three men, Patsey Kennedy, Geo.
Williams and William Hudson, were
arrested about daylight yesterday by
Officers Casey, Hart and Carpenter.
They were detected in the act of en-
tering house on the corner of Third
and Verona streets.
In the United States District Court
proceedings have been begun against
l0S casks of the capacity of the l31
wine gallons in condemnation, seized
by Collector Sedgwick on the 2lst of
August last. 1t is alleged that there
has been violation of the laws in not
effacing revenue stamps after their
contents had been drawn.
Some years since an action OF eject
ment was commenced in the Fourth
District Court, by J. ID. McRaven, ct
al, against nearly two hundred defen-
dants, to recover possession of about
thirteen blocks of land situated In the
vicinity of the Park. The assessed
value of this property was over S3,-
000,000. Defendants claimed the title
through w. b. Damron, and the plain
tiffs, who were his heirs, based their
right of recovery on the alleged in
sanity of Damron. In 1860, when de-
'endants and their grantors acquired
the land in controversy, the trial oc.
cupied twenty-one days, and q large
number of professional witnesses were
examined on both sides. The jury af-
ter brief retirement rendered ver-
diet for defendants. A motion for
new trial was denied by Judge Morri-
son, and the plaintiffs appealed to the
Supreme Court. The case was there
argued about two weeks since by
Messrs. Pringle, Hult and Rising for
defendants, and B. S. Brooks and
VIM. Tuttle for plaintiffs. The Su-
preme Court yesterday rendered de-
cision affirming Judgment of the
court below.
Solomon and Haddis Levy, of the
firm of S. d III. Levy, merchants of
this city, have filed q petition in the
L. :. District Court to be adjudged
bankrupts. Their liabilities consist of
S46, 295, due mostly to San Francisco
merchants for goods sold and deliver
ed and on promissory notes, and Sl7,-
900 on a guaranteed debt of another
person. Their assets consist of mer-
chandise valued at $4,000, book ac-
counts amounting to 500, 900, and wear
ing apparel valued at $500.
Charles Cook is in the city prison
awaiting an examination by the Com
missioners of Lunacy. He was for
merry stock-broker, but of late has
been in the lower part of the State.
He was observed to be acting strange
ly yesterday, and was locked up on
suspicion of being drunk. In prison
he became quiet and was allowed to
depart, when he went to the house in
which he lodged, No. 104 Mission
street, aud smashed furniture, &c.,
worth good deal of mouey. He was
then re-arrested.
The State Fair.
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 2lst. - Some
two or three thousand people assem-
bled at Agricultural Park this after
noon to witness the stock parade. The
procession extended entirely around
the track, one mile, and for some dis.
tance double row o. animals. There
was general exprt ssion of opinion
that, in whatever else the State may
not realize the fullest expectation, q
finer exhibition of horses and cattle
was never brought together, the world
over. The horse stock actually num-
pered twelve double teams, thirty
eight single teams, one hundred and
thirty four horses led by grooms, and
three jacks. The State Cattle Breed
ers' Association meets tomorrow
Wednesday night-when the annual
address will be delivered by Colonel
Younger. The annual address of the
Society will be delivered on Thursday,
by Prof. Carr. The address of Colonel
Younger, it is expected, will contain
some useful points in connection with
the important subject of cattle breed
ing.
The first race of the day was the 224
purse of $1,000. The entries were Dan
Voorhies, May Howard, Mary Davis
and Chicago. The judges were r. S.
Carey, l.. NJ. Shippee and J. b. Hoyt.
Timers, James Dickey, James Haw-
erth and John Howes. In the first
heat May Davis was distanced and
Chicago was lamed so that he was
drawn, leaving only Dan VOORHEES, for
the mare to beat, which she did easily
in three straight heats time, 2:2S},
2:294 and 2:3l.
The pacing race was the next on the
list, free for all, mile heats, 8 in 5.
