From California. The papers by the Kl Dorado and Daniel \A eb stcr furnish intelligence from various quartets of ttic world. The dates are from San Francis co to March 15th, from Panama to April .*4J, Hong-Kong to the id January, and from Oregon to the 11th of February. The close of the winter season in California has been marked with a Hood, which has done considerable dam age in Sacramento, which was overflowed two vears ago, in the same manner. The loss ol properly, however, is not so great as on the former occasion. Sacramento city was over flowed ort the 7th March, in consequence of a rcvassee in the levee. The Sacramento and American rivers had risen very rapidly during the day previous, and at length acquired a velo city of current ami strength of pressure which the levee could not resist, and the water poured into the city at several points. All the bridges were swept away, arid several persons drowned. At Marysvillc the destruction was greatest. Considerable portions of Stockton were also in undated, but the loss there is estimated at only §•25,000. Along the bed of the plain between the San Joaquin and tbe foot hills of the Sierra Nevada there are numerous channels which have been formed by the rains of successive winters, and which are dry in summer time. These have been completely tilled, and their banks have been overflowed to a greater extent than has ever been known ; while the rivers Moqulum lne, Calaveras and Stanislaus have risen at least | J (Vet higher than they rose ill the severe w in ter of lei'J and 'SO. The country on the Mo qulurnne was completely Hooded, the crops are hidden from the sight, and in many places the }: have been swept away. Every bridge iind ferry on the river was carried down by the resistless force of the current.
