The Missing state of California.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 10, 1881.

There is no news yet OF the steamer
State Of California. The British steamer
barnard Castle, which left this port elk
days ago for Nanaimo, has not yet arrived
there aud some lear that the two vessels
may have come into colllson. Insurance
on the caigo Of the State of California
was granted yesterday at from ten TO
twenty-five per cent, but to-day, in some
instances, refused at fifty per cent. The
steamer had about fifty-tve cabin pas
sengers and sixty in the steerage. She
was OF very light sail power, and in case
of accident 70 her machinery would
make slow progress. The weather has
been thick up the coast and If disabled
she has probably kept away from the
coast TO get clear OF the fog.
A Portland, Oregon, despatch says the
ravenue cutter Richard Rush will leave
Astoria tomorrow morning in search OF
