The steamer Georgia had arrived at New York with the Californian mails of the Ist ult., and $1,882,530 in gold dust on freight. The news from California is very interesting. The Supreme Court of San Francisco had been abolished by the unanimous vote of the Assembly ; the weather in San Francisco and throughout the interior continued exceedingly fine ; the roads leading to the mines were in good order, and business generally was improving. The arrivals at San Francisco from the Atlantic ports had been large, which had caused the markets to be well supplied. The band of robbers and assassins headed by the celebrated Joaquin still continued their depredations throughout the southern mines; upwards of 500 persons had been robbed and above 20 murdered by the gang since last advices ; two of the gang had been arrested and hanged without trial. The accounts from the mines are most cheering. A lump of gold weighing 247 ounces had been picked up at Yankee Hill, near Sonora, valued at about 4,250 dollars. It is said that three Mexicans had taken out upwards of :.',0,000 dollars in four days from a new claim near Churtsville. Two parties sank a hole on a claim near Campo Seco, and in five days they took out 5,700 dollars worth of gold ;dust. The El Dorado News says that gold dust continued to be raised in Placerville in unprecedented quantities, and reckons the weekly average purchased by -:-ae regular dealers and brought there at upwards of 70,000 ounces per week. There was no material alteration in the Californian markets.  A severe shock of an earthquake had been felt at San Luis Obispo on the 6th of February. Sandwich Islands advices of the 7th of February state that the fever still raged with great violence. M. Perrin, Commissioner of France, arrived at Honolulu on the 2d in the corvette Brillante, and met with a brilliant reception. It was believed everything relating to French interests would be settled amicably.  General Pierce was at Washington at last advices besieged by placehunters. No business of importance had been transacted in either House of Assembly. There was an improved feeling in the New York stock-market, and most descriptions of securities were in demand.
