Parnopaviovexi, Kamtschatka, Aug. 1, 1866, ‘The Western Union Telegraph Company's steamer Wright arrived bere om the 25th of July, thirty days from faa Vrancisco, We made the coast of Kamtechatka on the evening of the 24th, with a clear sunset, but too late to eater Avatoba Bay until the following morning. ‘The pasango across the Pacific was accomplished with contianous light winds that compelled the ship to go, ‘andor steam the larger portion of the journey. For meariy twenty-five hundred miles the fogs were contin- uous and heavy, and the first clear sunset for three ‘weeks was on the evening before our arrival. In port was the Russian corvotte Variag, which had been ordored hore to await the arrival of Colonel Bulk- Jey to prooeod in the service of the telegraph company wherever it might be desirable. There was also the Russian coast schooner Poorga, load- fag for the coast of Kamtschatka, and the Premian brig Danzig, formerly the American ‘rig ida. The schooner Allie Jackson, belonging to Wil- am B. Boardman & Co., of Boston, arrived on the 28th, from Ghijiga, consigned to the agents of Boardman & Co. Tho Tolograph Company's bark Clara Bell arrived on the 8th of July, from San Francisco, by way of the Sandwich Ietanda, having been compelled to seek the latter point for repairs, She left Potropaulovski on the 19th for Ghijiga, on the Ochotsk Sea, The Allie Jackson was twenty-eight days on her passage from Ghijiga, having experienced light winds and calms while passing down the Oohotak Sea Yo the Keorile Islands. fmrastiately on the arrival of the Wright the Governor af Kamtschatka, who resides at Petropaulovaki, sent to Golone!
