Arrival of the George Law.
LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. '
$1,150,000 III GOLD.
Striont Disturbance at San Francisco Smtat
ttr Riots Gratifying Accounts of Gold
Discoveries,
The steamer George Law, with San Finn
oitco dates la the 15th of June, and f 1,150,.
O00 in gold, arrived at New York on Monday
morning. She brings 400 passengers, among
whom ia Capt. Adam, bearer of despatches
from Commodore Perry.
He brings the Treaty with Japan, securing
to the United States privileges of residence
and trade at two ports for its citizens.
The Treaty with Japan opens the two
ports, Cliockadado, in the Straits of Sangar,
nd Schmadi, at the entrance of Jeddo Bayt
The latter is to be the chief port for the
American trade, and also a depot for coul ;
and the former the chief resort for whaling
vessels. Commodore Perry surveyed the
channel to within two miles of Jeddo, and
found plenty of water.
American consuls and citizens are allowed
to reside and transact business in either of
the above ports, aud to visit ten miles in the
interior and along the coast. I
Lieut. Adsms came to Honolulu in the
sloop-of-war Saratoga in 15 days, from Japan.
The Treaty was formally signed on the 31st
of March.
The steamer Golden Age arrived at San
Francisco on the 19th ultimo, with Sidney
-dates to the Uth of May.
Serious disturbances have taken place at
San Franoirco, growing out of the recent de
cisions adverse to squatter rights.
The markets at San Francisco were dull,
but without material change.
The dates from the Sandwich Islands are
10 the 23d of May, and from Oregon to the
lOih of June. The election in Oregon had
resulted adversely to the Whigs and to the
;State Government.
The wheat crop of California this season
will be very large and go far towards supply
ing the breadstuff for consumption during the
tfomintc year. In Oregon there is a large
amount of last year's crop still on hand, and
we notice that the forthcoming crop in that
Territory is looking fine, and there is every
reason to anticipate a large yield from that
source. With all these prospects in viewf
rthe people of Calif crnia may hope for a
speedy deliverance from the tender mercies
of foreign capitalists and greedy monopolists,
who have heretofore controlled the flonr
market of our Slate.
New and rich diggings have been discov
ered on Kern River, 350 miles south of Stock
ton, San Francisco, which is rapidly improv-
inR- .
Wnlker, the filibuster, pleaded not guilty
to the indictment, and gave $10,000 bail.
Dr Clements, a highly respectable citizen
ol San Luis, Obispo, was killed by a grizzly
bear a few weeks ago. He leaves a widow
and two children.
The accounts of the recent gold discover
ies tead like romance. At Iowa Hill we are
told that upwards of three hundred tunnels
have been commenced, and that some o
them will involve an outlay of thousands of
dollars. Remuneration is to be obtained
when thev itel into the hill. Some of these
'tunnels have iron doors, and aie locked and
barred lest some rogue should steal the 'dust
in the dirt. One claim is reported to yield
an average of 300 ounces per day.
Potatoes of tub Chop or 1853. In the
last number of the California Farmer, the
editor, describing a recent trip to San Jose
valley, says : "We venture to assert that
the potatoes that will lay upon the ground
mul rot in San Jose valley the present year,
will count in bushels by millions. We saw
one pile that was the length of eight rails of
fence, ninety-six feet, about thirty feet wide.
and some two ieet above the fence, seem
innlv enough to supply the State. These,
with vast quantities all over the county, and
other counties also, will be lost unless some
plan is devised for using them.
The Washington Monument Fund, as we
learn from Col. James Wentworth, Secretary
of the State Society of the Cincinunatti of
Pennsylvania, amounts to the sum of $33,
D74 35, invested in the loans of the State of
Pennsylvania, in the names of Horace Bin
ney, Alexander W. Johnston, John Steele
John T Latimet and Thomas Robinson, tros.
