NO. 5612. , OCTOBER 18, Anteresting Letter from California —Im- portant to Snip Owners. ‘We are indebted to Risbard Voorhees, Esq., of this ‘elty, for the use of a private letter from bis brother, ‘Commodore Voorhees. Its contents are important to the owners of the shipping now in the harbor of San Francirco, and deserve purticular attention. The value af vessels now at San Francisco, and in the interior harbors of California, is immenre, probably equal to $3,000,000 or $4.000 000. and before the winter months set in, there will be four or five hundred vessels, worth probably $6.000.000 in the waters of California, unprotected, and at the wercy of the winds and waves. According to Commodore Voorhees, @ fire or a gale ‘would destroy neariy the whole of them.

Miss Farvenixa Barmen.—There are two Swedish Jadies who have recently electrified the world— Jenny Lind and Frederika Bremer. The former, known poetically as the Swedish nightingale, bas enebapted Europe as the queen of song; while the latter has shed a sweet light around almost every fireside of the civilized world. She is the sathor of a new style of literature; and probably, at the present moment, has more readers tha: y other female writer on the globe. By a recent steamer, this celebrated ledy arrived on our shores, and we announced her as @ guest of the gentlemanly hosts of the Astor Houte, who are al- ‘ways eo kind and attentive tothe press and politi- clans.
