    ONE MONTH LATER FROM CALta
FOUNI A.
The steamer Crescent City from Chs
- artived at New York on Friday ebe
song making the passage in 11 days and
a few bouts. The Falcon had hot math.
ed Chagres when she left.
She brings $231,000 in gold as freight
beside what belongs to the passengers
on board, of whom there are 71.
.The steamship Panama left San Fran-
cisco the 20th of June, with about 100
passengers and about $600,0110 in gold
dust and specie. She arrived at Pane ,
ma on the night of the 11th of July, and
would leave again the Ist of August.
There is but one opinion among the
passengers with regard to the gold in
California ; it is still found in great
.'quantities, but it is only the hardwork
in g chaps who can stand the fatigue of
digging it.
There was no sicknss in the mines,
end everything was going on quietly,
The number of persons tit the mines is
estimated at between twenty and thirty
thousand—about one.half foreigners.
Business at San FrariCisdO is very dull
and goods and provisions belling below
their original cost. timber is in great
demand, selling for S3SO per M. Rents
are enormously high and rather ori the
rise.
There were about 100 Americans at
San Blas waiting a passage up. Among
them was the Reading Company of Penn
sylvania—all well.
Our latest dates from San Francisco
by the Crescent City are to the '2oth.
We have the 4lta California, dated the
t:.',lst., which is one day after the sailing
of the steamer, by which it was brought.
The Alta California, of the 14th June
*contains a proclamation by General Ri
ley, warning the settlers not to counte
tince "The Legislative Assembly of the
District of San Francisco," either "by
paying taxes or by supporting or abet
ting the officers" of that "illegal and
linautliorized body," and calls upon
till good citizens to assist en " restoring
to their lawf,l keeper," the Public Rec
cords of the District of San Francisco,
which. were "forcibly taken" from the
custody df the First Alcalde of said Dis
. triet.
. ,
The same paper contains a proclama
tion by Gen. Riley in which he states
that he "in accordance with instructions
from the Secretary of War has assumed
the administration of the Civil affairs in
California, no t as a Military Governor, E
but. as the xeeutive of the existing
Civil doverment,' He then proceeds
Ito call attention to the means which he
deems best calculated to avoid the em
barrassments of the present position of
Califot nia—Congress having failed to
legislate for it—and suggests the mode
of electing such officers as are recogni
zed by the laws now governing the Ter
ritory among which are a 'territorial
Legislature; Supreme Court, consisting
of four Judges and a Fiscal, a Prefect
and Sub-Prefect in each district, Al
taldes, &c., and appoints the 7th day of
August next, for the special election of
, Delegates top General Convention, and
of officers of the Peace.
The Alta California condemns the
terms of General Riley'v Proclamation,
and defends the action of the Legisla
tive Assembly alluded to.
The latter body haie published an
address in which they complain bit
terly of the failure by Congress to give
hem a form of government;—of its course
in "taxing them without giving them e
goverident at fill." After a recital of
their grieiancei arid a clear explicit and
intelligent statement of the necessities
fur immediate; united and determined
,action do the part of the people, the As
ssembly earnestly recoirimerlded to their
fellow citizens the propriety of electing
at least twelve delegates from each dis
trict to attend a general Convention to
be held at the Pueblo San Jose on the
third Monday in August next; for the
purpose of organizing a Goverment for
the whole territory of Californiti; Were
presented.
It is suggested that these delegates
have discretionary powers to form a
State Constitution or to adopt such other
form of Government—subject to a ratifi
bation by the people—as they may deem
ad*isable.
An enthusiastic meetings was held in
Sap Francisco on the 12th June, to con
eider the propriety of sending delegates
to a Convention, acc., at which the Hon.
'rhos. Butler King was present and ad•
dressed the people.
Resolutions to carry the object of the
meeting into effect, when an amendment
fixing the elections upon the days iip•
pointed by Gen: Bailey, was opposed
fay Colonel J. D. Stevenson, and final
ly rejected. Messrs. Peter Burnettee,
W. D. NI: Howard, E. mould Buffutn,
and Edward Gilbert were appointed a
committee to make arrangements for
a Convention and the electiott of Dele
tes.
The Alta California of the 20th June
contains a circular, issued by the above
named committee in which, for the sake
of. securing unanimity of action—but
"without recognizing the least
,power,
as a matter of right, in Brev. Brig. Gen.
Riley to appoint a time and place for
ilte election of the delegates and the as
sembling of the Cony/ tion"—they rec
ommend the time for de election ap
pointed by that officer. The committee
condemn the appointment of delegates
by Gen. Riley, and virtually a
disregard of his declaration on that
point. •
A meeting in reference td the same
subject was held by the people of Pue•
blo and San Jose, on the Rd of June, at
which Gen. Riley's proclamation was
npproved.
A dinner was gi;elf to the Hon. T. B.
King, on the 14th, at the Parker House,
by the cit;ietta of San Francisco.
A subscription was on foot to survey
and buy the Suisun Bay and the Sac
ratnento Riser between San Francisco
and Sacrementu City. Capt. Ringgold;
U. S. N., liai been employed to make
the survey.
A Merchant's Exchange and Reading
Room are also about to be established
in the former city.
A letter from the Mockeluttine
gins, dated May 23d, 4tfaks erieutirag
ingly of the success of the " diggers."
Another, from the Stainsians diggins,
complain of poor success in edhsequence
of the high waters. All, hottlever, agree
upon dhe point- , -the plentltude of the
precious metal upon the spot, and the
laborious exertions necessary to secure
it, Three Americans, however, are said
to have taken out one piece of gold
Worth $27,000! Another party of three
Mexicans said to have obtained 2,200
Idollars in one day !
GEN. SMITH IN CALIFORNIA.-It WAS
reported recently, by letters and passen
gers from California, by way of Mexico,
that Gen. Smith had been compelled to
take refuge on board a U. S. vessel,
from the indignation of the people of
California. Mr. Jarvis, a gentleman di
rect from that country, informs the Bos
ton Traveller that Gen. Smith was in
California when he left, in the full and
quiet possession of his authority as mil
itary commander of the whole Pacific
division, which embraces both Oregon
and California. Gen. Smith resided in
San Francisco, where his authority
s always been duly respected
led, and where he was personally held
in high esteem, and in every respect
was popular. The rumor which has
reached us, of his having been treated
with disrespect, either personally or offi
cially, would seem to have been wholly
groundless. He was about to make a
journey to the mines, when Mr. Jarvis
left Sail Francisco, with a view proba
bly to the reconnoisance of the gold lo
calities, preparatory to a more accurate
survey. Gen. Riley'. proclamation was
issued in his capacity of civil Governor
of California. Gen. Lane holds the
same office, in relation to Oregon. 1 he
probability, in regard to the goverment
of California, is that the de facto govern
(nest will not oppose the attempt of the
people to introduce themselves into the
union of the States as soon as possible.
Shocking Occurrence.
The New York .Mirror gives the fol
lowing account of a dreadful occurren
ce at Rathbun's hotel, in that city, on
Monday morning, the 23d ult.
"The inmates of Rathbun's Hotel, in
Broadway, were startled, this morning,
by a succession of loud screams isau
ihg from the chamber of Mrs. Rathbun,
the wife of the proprietor, and on enter
ing the room, she was found lyingon the
floor; weltering in blood, from a severe
wound in the throat; inffitted with a rri.
zor by her soh, Who was near the spot,
alsd bleeding prdfusely frdni a Wound
in his own throat, The particulars, as
far as we could gather them, are as fol
lows : Loomis Rathbun, the attempted
murderer, is about 35 years of age, and
has for seine time pait most disco
lute life, being drunk the greater part of
the time, and inixidg with low and aban
doned Characters ; all the &Irks of his
friends to reclaim him proved ineffectu
al, and his lather finding that reforma
tion was hopeless, gave him up to his
vicious courses, permitting him to live
at the hotel when he felt dispoird ; But
little Was seen of hirri, as he was out
most of the day, and found his Way to
his bed room at all hours of the night.
Pot the past week, he has been on a
drunkeh spree, and the dreadful act was
doubtless perpetrated while in a state of
deliriurii trenlens. About 6 o'clock,
this morning, he appeared at his moth
er's door, with a razor in his hand; and
saying, •"UUooil-bye, mother," drew the
instrunient across his throat, inflieting
wound on the left side, of a severe, but
not of n serious character. His mother,
in alarrri, rushed to him and seized his
hand, when he turned furiously. upon
her, and exclaimed, "D—n her, I'll kill
her," and, thrdwing her down on the
floor knelt upon her titidy and cut her
throat almost from ear to ear. tier . cries
were heard by one of the Waiters, Who
ran to the room and succeeded in drag
ging the son off the body, and secured
him until assistance arrivdd. A sur
geon was inirdediately summoned, ivhd
examined and dressed thewounds ; that
of the man is not of a serious character
bat great fears are entertained that Mrs.
Rathbun will not recover, and at the
the last accounts ehe was lying in a
very low state. The son, who is evident
ly insane, was properly secured, and
will be sent immediately to the Insane
Asylum to await the action of the au
thorities in the matter."
nj , -the Sheriff of London repeats an
old maxim of a puritan divine, that, "if
the Sabbath is well hemmed, it not
ravel out ddring the week," He has
learned from the Confession, of most of
the prisoners, that their crimes Origina
ted in Sabbath-breaking.
