H, Blithen, from Chagres, via Kingston, Jamaica, we ave been placed in the possession of two weeks later news from Culifornia, and other places on the Pacific side of the American continent. The North America left Chagres on Saturday, the 2ith uit., at 0 o'clock, and reached Sandy Hook last evening, At § o’clock—thus making the pussuge in eight days and ix hours, The passage out to Chagres was made in ‘Seven days and twelve hours.

Gurer Excrremext 1y Sacnaento.—There was con- siderable excitement yesterday afternoon, in Sacramento, owing to an outrage committed upen Mr. David Gregory by J:8. Boles, Haq. The citizens assembled na mo- . and cried for Lynch law. It seems that Mr. Gregory had lent Boles & sum of money, and desiring to return to the States, asked Boles to pay back the loen, tating that he would mot ask the interest from him, jes refused to pay; got judgment against him, and constable Smith levied upon & lot of horser, and brought them tothe horse market for sale. Boles forbade the sale, stating that the horses belonged to Mr. Talcot. The sale, however, was continued. After the last forse had’ been knocked off, Boles said, “Now, boys, we shail see some fun.” He rode up to Ankeney's Hotel, dismounted deliberately, and drawing is pistol. entered where Gregory was sitting. Ile as: saulted him, and in thoaffray the pistol went off, and Gregory was pretty severely wounded in the neck,’ The crowd rushed for Boles, but he immediately placed him. self in the hands of the officers, who carried him to Jus. tice Bullock's court. Here the crowd followed, mach excited, and were about rescuing him from justice, when the officers were commanded by the Judge to shoot down any one who laid violent hands on the prisoner. One of the crowd cried out that if the Justice said mach he should be shot. Owing to the excitement, the prison- ex was placed on board the prison brig, to await hiv ex. emination, Hixcies to New Youx.—The brig Reindeer is taking ina freight of shingles, at the foot of Jackson street. bound for New York direct. ‘This is excellent. and is tic States to their senses if they are not already quite satisfied by recent returns, For many months past car- goes of lumber of almost every description have been sold at auction in this city at a great discount on the original cost on the wharves in the Atlantic ports.

ARRIVAL or THE AMERICAN STEAMSHIP WASHINGTON STATE OF THE MARKETS. Another Splendid Passage by the Pacific The Passages of the Steamships Humboldt and Asia, &e., &e., ko. The United States mail steamship Washington, Captain G. W. Floyd, arrived yesterday afternoon, with accounts from London to the 2lst ult., te- gether with our usual files of papers and Evfopear correspondence. Tho Washington sailed from Bremenon the 16th, and arrived at Southampton on the 18th May, finally departing from that port on the 2ist. Hee voyage has occupied eleven days and twenty-twe hours—tho shortest ever made by this steamer. She brings about 170 passengers, also 180 tom: | offreight from Bremen, and about 70 tons froma France. The American mail steamship Humboldt, Cap- tain Lines, which sailed hence on the 6th of May, reached Cowes roads at noon, on the 18th ult., and proceeded to Havre, ‘after landing the English mails and passengers. The Cunard steamship Asia, which left one day after the Humboldt, arrived at Liverpool thirteen hours before her, viz.,at 11 P. M., on the 17th, thus beating the Humboldt about thirty-seven houre on the voyage. It must, however, be observed, that the distance to Cowes is about seventy miles in oxcess of that to Liverpool. The Hum- boldt was passed by the Asia on the 12th May, at SP. M.; the latter was then going ata speed nearly fifty per cent greater than that of tho former, im consequence of the Humboldt’s journals having become heated, and the engineer being thereby foreed to proceed slowly. The Humboldt having ; made her first trip in 11 days and 20 hours, mean time, is considered to have done exceedingly weli, | a¥ she was not pressed by Captain Lines, and had to stop on threé different occasions during the paseage, in order to rectify incidental occurrences ‘ common to the first working of all new marins steam machinory. The American steamship Pacific, Cap Nye, tived at Liverpool on the 20th May, in nine daye ninetcon hours and twenty-five minutes, or ten days, without deducting the difference in time—the quickest passage cvir made. The London Times of the 21st, saye— ‘The Pacific sailed from New York precisely at five minutes past twelve o'clock, on the 10th inst., was am- nounced off Holyhead et eight o'clock this mot (May 20) and saluted the Rock Lighthouse at 15minutes past Lo clock precisely, thus completing the ron in the remarkably bricf space of nine days, nineteen hours aad twenty-five: minutes, mean time. Contrasting the Paci- fic’s run with thst of the royal mail steamship Asia the fastest ever previously made). there ts a difference in favor of the Pacific to Holyhead of six hours, the Asia having been announced off Holyhead at two o'clock in the afternoon, ‘The furore reepecting the Great Exhibition still continued, and the attendance of the public was ee great asever. Tho receipts, including the sale of season tickets, averaged $15,000 a day. The scheme for turning the oxbibition to educational purposes, progressed very favorably, and the University o€ Oxford had lent its support to the movement. The Commissioners of Volice had issued a notice for cab fares, which gave great satisiae- and will prevent extortion. The Queen gave « grand state ball at Bucking~ ham Palace, on the Ith ultimo, Many American officers were present A favorable change ccourred in the Liverpool cotton tnarket om the 19th ultimo, there being @ considerable demand, with sales of 7,000 bales, 2,000 of which were for exportation. The accounts ef the state of trade from the provinces are more favor able, but business had been somewhat deranged by the crisis in the Liverpool cotton market. The various continental exchanges were firm upon London, with prospect of an advance. At the corn market, at Mark lane, the upward tendency of prices continued, the advance on Eng- h grain being 6d. to 1s. per quarter, Flour held firmly. Floating cargoes of wheat inquired for, im is | consequence of tho firmness of the Irish markets. English funds firm but unchanged in price. Rail- way shares weak. Foreign funds unaltered. From Paris we are informed that the determined resolution of the legitimists to oppose Louis Napo- leon, bad excited much attention. The Constitee tronnel replics, in a thundering article, that there will be an irre ible manifestation from the whele country, in the shape of petitions, demanding the prolongation of the President's powers. ‘The week- ly conmmercial roport from the F h capital is more favorable.
