The Golden Gate was at Panama, waitting for the U.S. troops, who were detained on account of the non-arrival of their baggage. The 8. F. Whig, learns from a passenger and the surgeon on the Celumbia that the cholera prevailed on the Golden Gate, which contained 1100 passengers. and that sixty deaths occurred on board while lying at Toboga. The sick were removed tos hulk near at hand. We are indebted to Adams & Co. for the delivery of the news, and the kind attention of Charles Peterson of the Saeraménto office for well selected files of the Atlantic papers.

The whole Whig Senatorial are to be inscribed on our banners during the coming campaign, than are those of thiscounty. While occasionall * having to be arranged before the disso. opinion that ‘ Fillmore would have been lution could take place. elections will immediately take place throughout the country. The treaty for regulating the Danish succession between England, France, . Austria, Russia, Prussia, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, was ratified at the English Foreign Office, on the 19th ult. The difficulty between Louis Napoleon and the Legislative Corps of Franee has assumed a rather threatening appearance. The members of the Legislature, after considerable discussion, perempterily refused to sanction the amendments made to the budget by the Council of State, and the consequence was that the funds met with a temporary decline. How the affair will terminate—whether Louis or the legislators will give way, or whether the former will bring another grand coup d'etat to his assistance—time will soon make manifest. Brooklyn seems to be the scene of an unusual amount of incendiarism. Within a few hours five fires occurred on one street, the aggregate damage of which was over $70,000. Various other fires had occurred, some of which were attended by losses of twenty to thirty thousand dollars. Saratoga is said to be unusually crowded for the time ef year. The Governor of Kentucky has tendered the Senatership to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Henry Clay, to} James Guthrie, who declines.

The prospects of the farmers in this vicinity still continue good, although the potato crop will hardly be as fine as last year. New settlers are coming in every day; this falla large number of families are expected to arrive. Ina year or two more, when the settlers can afford to put up good houses, and get things more comfortable around them, there will be few particulars in which this community will not compare favorably with any in the Western States.

Every awhere on the route the most imposing «ceremonies were observed. It is reported that Secretaries Webster aud Cerwin have retired from the cabinet, and that ex-Senator Chambers, of Md., will get the Secretaryship of the Navy. The Washington correspondent of the Herald, intimates that Bell of Tennessec, will receive this appointment, and bat Mr. Webster will retain his place mutil the close of the preseat administration.

A grand Seott rally was to be held at Niagara Fale, on the Aumirver-ary of the rels gathered by many years of toil in his country’s service. Touching this point the NV. ¥. Herald of the 10th July says: “Our special Washington correspondent writes that Mr. Webster has expressed bis disapprobation of the move-~ ment in favor of getting up an independent ticket for the Presidency. He has seen too much of political strife to permit his ewn immediate iriends and others—who have been greatly disappointed by the nomination of the Whig National Convention—to make a tool of him at this late day.” A Gonp Mine in San Francisco.— We were shown yesterday morning by ex-Governor McDougal, a rich and most beautiful specimiggitef auriferous quartz. It appeared to weigh about two pounds, and from the size of the lump, and the rich seams of geld that jutted out in every direction, and appeared to overlay and ramify it, we should judge it contained several ounces of the precious metal. We have no question the piece we saw will yield ten dellars to the pound. The quartz is hard and very much discolored by the oxide of iron. Such a specimen is in itself not so extraordinary, but the locality from which it was taken renders it exceedingly interesting.

Every awhere on the route the most imposing «ceremonies were observed. It is reported that Secretaries Webster aud Cerwin have retired from the cabinet, and that ex-Senator Chambers, of Md., will get the Secretaryship of the Navy. The Washington correspondent of the Herald, intimates that Bell of Tennessec, will receive this appointment, and bat Mr. Webster will retain his place mutil the close of the preseat administration.

He has seen too much of political strife to permit his ewn immediate iriends and others—who have been greatly disappointed by the nomination of the Whig National Convention—to make a tool of him at this late day.” A Gonp Mine in San Francisco.— We were shown yesterday morning by ex-Governor McDougal, a rich and most beautiful specimiggitef auriferous quartz. It appeared to weigh about two pounds, and from the size of the lump, and the rich seams of geld that jutted out in every direction, and appeared to overlay and ramify it, we should judge it contained several ounces of the precious metal. We have no question the piece we saw will yield ten dellars to the pound. The quartz is hard and very much discolored by the oxide of iron. Such a specimen is in itself not so extraordinary, but the locality from which it was taken renders it exceedingly interesting.
