A portion of the passengers by the 'Cortes from San Francisco were also :stopping at the seieral hotels in• the vicinity of the depot. There could not have. been less than 1,000 or 1,203 Americans congregated about the railroad - terminus: —About sunset- adifficulty - soccurred between one of the Illinois' passengers (a no terious - character from New Orleans, known as "New York Jack,") and one of the negroes, which was freely joined by friends oh both sides, and a general row now commeuced.= Pistols, bowie-knives, swords, muskets, clubs and rock" were freely used, and with deadly effect. The Americans were generally unarm ed, haying only a few small revolviss, and,. consequently, after a short struggle, had to yield the ground. The natives were reinforced by large numbers. They now made an attack upon the different hotels and drOVe al' the in- I mates out, many of whom sought sdety, as they supposed, in the depot building. About this time the police (God ia,ve the term!) was called in requisition ; but instead tof attempting to restore order, it is positively known that a portion of them joinec the ne- I gross alad , made the assuult upon thedepot.— i The police and negroes fired upon tie crowd, land - drove every man, Woman and child from the building, vi:ho,' in their fright, ran in every direction—some to the boats, and otters to the thick brush and woods, where they remained during the night, and with the expietation of, being murdered when daylight apreared. A large number were foitunateeneuga to get on board the small steamer; and were ionveyedto the L. Stephens. After the natives hadmi complished their work of death, and dispersed all from the ground, they commenced plunder ing the baggage. and destroying everything to be found in the hotels. The passengers, to their sudden flight, left and lost everything. After plundering all to he found in the hotels, the black mob attacked the depot building, which contained a latr() amount of luggage treasure, all of which the rascals obtained, They then commenced to tear up the railroad track, and to pull down the tele g raph poles, and destroyed loth railroad and - telegraph offices. They were aware that the' express goods would be brought over from Aspinwall that night, and had laid their plans to seize them. They tore up the track in the vicini ty of the depot, in order that the engine might run off; but through the exertions of Mr. Williams, (a conductor on the road,) the ex press, train was stoned by his signals before reaching the fatal point, and the lives of those on board and the goods were saved, and the train put back to Aspinwall, where it remain ed at the time the Philadelphia sailed.- Soon after the commencement of hostilities the Governor of Panama and the American Consul were on the ground, but their exertions to quiet the riot proved irAfectual. The writer says it is believed by many that $lOO,OOO in money and effects was lost by tie passengers. He gives a list of over 50 suf ferers-, principally cabin passengers, whose aggregate loss in money, clothing, jewelry, &c., amounts to F,;<11,336. 'Among them are', Samuel Waggner, of Baltimore, (the heaviest sufferer,) who was robbed of $4,000 in - money, and WO in clothing, jewelry. &e.; A.

A correspondent writes that an attempt having been made to get the passen gers who were in the vicinity of the station on board the' little steamer, the Datives formed a guard, at the beach, and stripped men, women and children as they approached, taking the women's rings from their fingers and ears, . and their pins from their cuffs and bosoms.
