WHOLE NO. 5993. MORNING EDITION: --THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1850. PRICE TWO CENTS. VERY INTERESTING FROM CALIFORNIA, TWENTY DAYS LATER INTELLIGENCE, BY THE ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP EMPIRE CITY. ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTS OF THE FOURTH CONFLAGRATION IN SAN FRANCISCO, Over Three Millions of Gold Dust at Panama, on its Way to the United States. ‘Terrible Accounts of Starvation Among the Overland Emigrants. MOVEMENTS OF SPECIE. THS MAREZESBTS, &o., &e., &o. The steamship Empire City, Capt Wilson, arrived yerterdey morning from Chegres, via Kingston, Ja- maica. She leit Chagres on the 26th ult. We regret to learn that Mr. Bévjamia W Comstock, purrer of the steamer Empire City, died while on the parce ge from Chagres to New York, on the morning of ‘the 4th, of homorrbage of the stomach Mr.C. was highly esteemed by all those who came in immediate contact with him, for his general urbanity of manners and the perfect system he pursued in all bis transse tions of business. His remains were brought home in the ship. ‘The stvamrhip Georgia, Porter, for New York, sailed at 9 A.M. on the same day the Empire City left Cha- res. The C. will have over a million and a quarter of gold dust. The Empire City brings about $500,000, besides what is in the hands of passengers. ‘When the E. ©. left, the Sarah Sands had not ar- rived, but was momentarily expected. Panama wes quite healthy, and not many passen- gers there; but those who arrived in the last eteamers ‘would sail November Ist. Chagres was rather un- healthy. There were but two herm. brigs and two schooners in port. ‘The Georgia had about five hundred passengers—the Cherokee two hundred and fifty. ‘The Ur. mail steamship Medway, Symonds, sailed a, midnight on tho 25th, for England with two millions of theasure. The steamship Cherokee, Windle, sailed for New York on thesame day. ‘The California left San Francisco on the 2d, and the New Orleans on the 5th ult., and had both arrived at Pavawa. Our advices from California are to the 5*h ult.— mearly three weeks later, The California Courier, of the 5th ult, says :— ‘The amount of gold shipped by the California last Monday, was $1.800,000, and regret Oy carried $900 000 more.

She passed the steamer Isthmus on the 20th of Oct., lat. 10 deg. N.,lon. 87 deg. W. ‘We regret to observe that the accounts of another tremendous fire in San Freneteco are conirmed, and stbat it destroyed about one hundred and arty Puildings, It is exid that «great deal of the des druction of property might have beem saved had there ‘been but an efficient engineer to direct operations — “The strength of the fire department,” saye the den Francisco Heratd. ‘was wasted during the first portion of the conflagration, by not being properly and aathor- tatively directed. By biowing up ® tew buildings in the immediate yiciulty of where it first originated, ite | proprietors of that office, has furnished the San Fr. ravages might have been confined within very ner- row limits." The fire was said to be the work of an incendiary, and many persons have been arrested on snapicion. The soarcity of water, and the great want of public spirit im the citizens in not rendering assistance to the fire companies, greatly augmented the destruction of property which took place. We notice with much regret that the office of the Paciyic News has been completely deetroyed. Mr. Winchester, one of the cireo Herald with the following particulars of hi misfortune: —“This establishment {: ad total loss. The | power press, and all cur type and materials, were re- moved te or occupied the rear brick building, supposed | to bave been fire-proof, which afterwards took firs from tke springing of the doors and shutters, and | every vestige within was destreyed. The value of the property lost, including buildings, was not less than $8000, at a moderate valuation. Not even one of the books was saved, or private papers of any desoription whatever.” ‘The proprietors of the Piccyune offlae have also sus- tained heavy losees, although it is eaid they will soon be in position to resume their duties. Signor Rossi, of the Italian theatre, has also been a sufferer, having lost everything he porsessed. This is the fourth loss he has rustained by fire i n Francisco, The fire is said to have originated in the bar room of the Philadelphia House, and the |i justained is estimated at half a miliion of dollars, The following is a sehedule of the principal individual losses.

On the other side,” continues this paper, ‘we have the experience of some twenty men, whom we have met within the last ten days, who have just returned from both southern and northern mines, a‘ter spending the whole summer in vain searching for cold.” ‘The election was to have taken place on the 7th October, and appears to be the all absorbing question of the day. The candidates for the various offices are almost innumerable, and it is said that an associate justice of the Superior Court was to be chosen, to suc- | ceed the pretent Chief Justice, P. A. Morse, whose term expires on the first day of Jamuary next. We perceive, with much pleasure, that the the engrosement of the California bill in the Senate, produced, on its receipt in that city, the liveliest emotions of joy. The hopes of tho people aro raised bigh, in the expectation of hearing, by the next steamer, of the admission of that State into the Union. The accounts from the overland emigrants are of the most paintul description, We find that a requisition on the Collector of San Francisco, for an advance of one hundred thourand dollars has been suggested, and that it is likely the distressed citizens will resort to that means of alleviation their distress, Wo are pleased to notice that the improvements in the city of San Franciscoare progressing very rapidly, end that by the time the rainy season sets in, the streets will be substantially planked. ‘The weather was rather pleacant. Im most parts of the ceuntry there had been @ great deal of rain, and it was enid to have beem extremely cold in the moun- tains.

Ban Francisco, Oot. 3, 1860. 8o short a time has elapsed since the sailing of the mail steamer, the Ist of the month, that we have very little change to note qT contin very brisk—merchants generally having about as much as they can attend to—traders from the mines being here in great numbers, buying trevly for their winter's supplies. Making up remittances for the last steamer produced much lessstringency inthe money market than it has tor teveral previous months. Bankers generally get ell the dust they want at $16 perannen with two percent premium fer American 8 MISCELLANEOUS MARKETS. (From the 8an Francisco Journal of Co: Tn our last semi-menthly review, on th stated that the state of trade gens ly wasin and improving condition Anothur severe fire on the I’ cuured an interruption to business for a few days; but since that time the market been daily, pena in activity, anda heavy amount of merchandise every description has been disposed of. The demand from the interior is good, and fs till expected iL erce, Oct It, we crease while the dry weather continues The increase of population from the overland immigration will causes greatly inereased consumption. ‘The importe lately have been rather light; yet, with fow exceptions, the market continues well supplied with every kind of goods required, and there are but few articles with which it continues overstocked; and there has, conse- quently. been less change in prices than might be ex- ted from such an astive demand. During thi peried under review, the article of flour hay been in great demand; the market had previously b» quite bare. and the price had. consequently advanced. The arrival of two cargoes from Chili, together with cousiderable parcels of American in barrels, was ex- pected to cause a decline; but the demand ret in so briskly that alarge amount was dispo: vious rates, and towards the close @ considera- ble advance was obtained. The market is bure of the article and the price ts held at extreme rate. Pork has also bee there bas been only a slight advance in prise otber article in the provision line ts im good demand; but the stocks on hand being large there is scarcely vance obtained. With dv boots, shoes, eto, [the market is still wel holders are askivg a considerable advan: as yet have not ben to the extent that quired. Mostly every article of bard it mand.and brings highly remunerating prices. Bricks are greatly in demand, but the imports Iately hat been very large. and @ decline in price has been the consequence ; they are stillet @ rate that will sufit- ciently remunerate tha importer The stock of lua- ber on hand is still gres than the demand, and it still continues at a low rate. In real estate there have been but few operations ot late; the specalative spirit which existed eome time ago. has entirely di away, However, when lotsin good locations are offered, they command a good price WHOLESALE PRICES CURRENT.
