‘NO 5557. MORNING EDITION----FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1849. AABRIVAL OF THE U. 8. SHIP DALE, From California and South America. ‘VERY LATE FROM BRAZIL. INTERESTING INTELLIGENOR, &e. &e. &e. The U. 8. sloop of war Dale, Captain Rudd, ar. niyed off this port on Wednesday, as we reported van the Herald otf yesterday. The Dale has been absent from the United States three years and three months, and has sailed fifty-two thousand miles. She left San Francisco, on her homeward voyage, on the 1th of March last, with nearly $300,000 in California gold, the greater pitt of which was landed at Valparaiso. She arrivea up to the city yesterday, after a passage of 38 days from Rio de Janeiro, and has on board $65,000 in gold dust. The advices brovght by the D’, except from Rio -de Janeiro, are not so late as previously received ; ‘but the verbal information, and that given in our correspondence, 1s exceedingly interesting. To the Commodore, and his officers, we are in- debted for the information which was afforded to our reporter, in the most prompt, kind, and courteous manner. The Dale is a splendid vessel of her class, her appearance is neat and orderly, and her hardy and gallant crew look cheerful and happy. To Mr. Harrison, the officer on duty at the gate of the Navy Yard, our thanks are due, for his readiness to assist us in accomplishing the object of our visit to the Dale. In the war, the Dale was actively employed in the Gulf of California and on the West coast of ‘Mexico. She maintained the blockade of Guaya- mas for seven months, captured all the small ves- sels and launches which navigated the Gulf, and thus cut off the communication with the enemy on the California side. The crew made several suc- cessful attacks on the enemy, and took many pri- soners. On one occasion, a force of only 73 officers, seamen and merines landed in Guayamas, where they were attacked by nearly 400 Mexican soldiers, who were secreted in the houses in the plaza; after a brisk engagement of an hour and a half, the ene- my were completely routed, and fled in all direc- tions over the hills; the ship, im the meantime, throwing balls and shells into the town, which caused great destruction. The enemy lost about 30 in killed and wounded. During a night expedition, the same party marched mine miles into the interior, for the purpose of bringing away several brass field pieces which -were secreted, but the distance being greater than ‘was anticipated, and the guns very heavy (being 18-pounders) they spiked them. On their return, y encountered the enemy’s out-pests, who were reed after a skirmish, 1a which one seaman was badly wounded. During the early part ef the war, they made a descent on Malize, in California, when the enemy fied to the hills, and kept out of hurm’s = f crew of the Dale, during the whole of the Mexican war, have been true to their country and flag—always zealous, attentive and prompt in the di ef their duties, and since the war, on the return of the ship to the coast of Upper fornia at a time when the entire country was in ul -excitement from the discovery of the gold mines, and when numerous desertions were constantly panes face both from the ships and garrisons, the "a alone. remained faithtul and resisted the great not an instance of desertion occ They have ever been ready, too, of the distressed—more than three hundred dollars having been coatributed in valuable donations—one third of which was be- stowed upon two unfortunates of our enemies. After the arrival of the steamer California at San Franciseo,on the 28th of Febraary, the unfinished ¢ new hotel, the “* Parker House,” were rented 150 per month; the receipts of the bar ‘and billiard rooms of this house, for the first five days, run to nine thousand dollars. The building | 995,000 3, contains sixty sleeping rooms, an ‘id for from five months’ profits, from the bar illiard room only, of the old “City Hotel.” “The proprietor was ollered an anoual reat of $35,- 000, which was refused. In March last, lamber cost was and was sold at $500 per thousand, and city lots, of 50 yards square, which cost from $50 to $170, were sold at $12,000 cas! Houses, which formerly rented at $150 per annum, then brought $1,200 and $2,000; a lot which cost $150 was rented at $1,000 per annum for two years; a frame store, | whieh cost less than $2,000 rented for $10,000; the owner of the frame of a house which cost in New York $1.20, was offered $10,000 for it before arrive; ; and refuse ¢. he pose Be sod nap mag ewages $100 per month, and washing $7 per doz ; ‘horses tales were in great dereand, and were selling at enormous prices. The prize brig Mulek Adhel was sold for $4,- 500, and in January last made a trip to Oregon, the freight and passage money of which amo: anted to 410,000; brovght back a cargo of lumber which sold for $350 to $400 per thousand, and cleared che owner $25,000, afteran absence gf fifty days. ‘The United States store ship FredOnia, Lieat. Com. F. A, Neville, from New York, for San Fran- i ifornia, via Kio de Janeiro, arrived at on the Ist of May last. Thi ip ex- ‘alparaiso enced very severe weather on her passage round Bape Horn, encountering a continued saccession of | adverse gules of wind from the time she passed the parallel of the River La Plata, until near Valpa- | raiso. The passage from Rio to the latter port oc- cupied eighty-two days, thirty-eight of which were piseed sonth of Cape Lorn ; and the “e? washave to under storm fis for twenty-five diys. however, sustained no damage; and her officers |} and crew were all well. | The following is a hist of the officers of the | Dale — OPFICERS Commander John Rudd, Lieutenants, Ed.
