Arrival of The Georgia. E3 IdiAYS LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. NEw Youx, April,7, 9 P. M. The steamship Georgia, Capt. Porter, ar rivedj hie evening from Havana, bringire W - the lifornia mails and sixty passengers, a bri kht by the steamer Falo.m. Tihe Fat. " tLoi 1eft Chagros on the 29th of AMarchand a owiing to tile non.arrival of the mails at 't Charges, she left before all the passengers Pr got across. There were a large number ob of vessels at Havana loading with sugar. Tlhio dates from Francisco are to Murch 11th. The Courior says that the 0 ellorts made by time Legislature to elect a c United States Senator, in Itace of Col. a" Fremont, have proved inef'ectual. When " the Convention first met, the prominent whig candidates were lion. T. Butler g King and lion. John Wethered, and the it. democratic candidates were Col. Fremont te) and Mr. 1leydenfelt. Mr. Wethered finally abandondd the contest, and it was narrowed down to the three others etmQd. After nearly 150 ballotings, the w Convention finding it impossible to make a P thoice, adjourned till the 1st of April A King had tle highest vote on the last ballot, but-lacked 0 or 8 votes of an election. o Ileydenfield was the favorite of the 4 democrats. Fremont, who commenced j ith only a half dozen votes, gradually j, increased in strongth until, before the Con- j, veition adjourned, his vote equalled that of a Heydenfelt. On the last day the latter b withdrew and Col. Well-r was substituted f in his place, who received exactly the vote i borae) given to the withdrawing candidate. A good deal of feeling existed onl the sub. ject, and the Senatorial question will enter lar rely into the next political canvass. 8n Sunday, 23.1 of February, San Fran cwsc was in a tremendous state of ex citemnent on account of the anticipated ex ecution by the populace of two noted scoundrels, Stuart and Windred, for nearly mntrdering Mr. latison, a respectable mor chant of this place, and rohbing him of 32,0U0. A meeting of citizens wts called, several of our most mituential and wealthy inen presided, and the prisoners were given a fair trial by jury; the jury, however, dis agreed, and the oflicers of justice took pos scssion of the culprits. At Sacramento city a similar scene oc curred, but tihe nflmeiler did not escape so easily. Frederick Roe, a noted ganiiler, shot through the head a Mr. Charles Myers for interfering to put an end to a quarrel in vhich he was engaged. A meeting of the citizens was.called, in which tihe most pro minent. and ifilitiential imen took part. Roe was tried, convicted, and inl less than five hours after the conmnission of the crime, le was hung in the presence of ant assemblage of thousands. Bu.'intess was still dull, and the arrivals at SW4h Francisco of foreign shipping hd greatly fallen off within the last fortnight. The miners were doing very well throughouit the State, anl an increased :hinount of gold was expected to be taken out during the coming season. There has been but very little rain in San Francisco, though time interior had been more favored in this respect. A terrible accident occurred, by which the -teamboat Santa Clara was completely destroyed by fire, and the steamer lartford damaged to tho extent f 880,tt00. The Satita Clara took tire tist, ani was burned to the water's edge. Three of the - *,,Vraw were burned to death, and Mr. henXmiyt~, one of Lt. owners, narrowly f caped,. after hen'.jverely hurit. Vilbe.~artfor'! caught Irom i 'nta. 3 e ma'~ irket is ov'erstocked with From the San F3rancisco Standard, March 5. T.lhe mines hold, as usual, the first placeI in our sumnary of tnews fromi Californmia sinice the last mail. The wveaither ha~s continued, as hereto fore, remarkably fine, and int numlerouis 1 places in the dry diggimgs, the miners, after I wvait ing in vain for the expected rains, with which to wash the earth, have at last set to work to supply then deficiency by artificial mneatns.--This hans especilly been the case in thme northern mines, whiere cainalsi have * been dug, conduits are made, and mountainst tunnelled where necessary, to divert thef water fronm its natural channels, In one instace, a canal has bteen constructed nine miles in lengthI, part of which is tuannlled( through a mounmtain, and there are tnnier. I ous similar works of smaller dimnensions. Whierever the miiners have been suc cessful in bringing water to their diggings, they have realbzed abundantly fronm tbeir waushinigs. There was an unusually large I qumaitiity' of earthi thrown upi in time early -"palrt of then season, owvingr to the finte weather I whlicht enabled thme miners to work more Ea constantly. There is no doubt that had the country been favored with an averaige qutantity' of rain, the prodlucre of gold duet would haive f beent larger titan the pmrevions winters. Bunt great number.s of tihe iminiers, findintg the rain did not come, amnd that the u ivers r an I streams were unniseally low, have c abandoned their heaps of dirt, and commen-. cod working the hats in the streaims', where they generally realize good wtages, ail, in some cases, very larre returns.
