CALIFORNIA AND ORIENTAL.
The Steamers May Put in at San
Francisco.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 30.-President But
Ter of the California and Oriental
Steamship line, says that it will be nee
essary either to- put on an auxiliary line
of steamers between this port and San
Francisco, or else make a call at the
Golden Gate with the present line. The
cargo of the Belgian King contained
nearly 1000 tons of goods for San Fran
cisco, on which, if a call had been
made there, $1,000 in freight could have
been saved, and there is waiting for
shipment from San Francisco on this
line now 1000 barrels of -four, which
cannot well be taken, as the local
freight eats up the profit. The Belgian
King, when she sails for Yokohama and
Hongkong on Wednesday next, will
leave over 1900 tons of freight behind
for the next steamer.
