The following is the memoranda of her trip, furnished us by the Purser:
The steamer Brother Jonathan, G. H. Baldwin, Commander, arrived this morning, 13 days from San Juan del Sud, and 26� days from New York.
August 10th, 3 P.M. saw an American ship twenty miles off cape ST. Lucas bound to the southward, too far distant to make out her name. August 15th, 12 ( ?)M. off Point Eseres (?) passed steamer Goliab, bound to San Diego. The B. J. has experienced head winds with a heavy sea all the way from Cape San Lucas.
Passengers per Steamer Brother Jonathan, hence for New York, crossed the Isthmus from steamer to steamer in 36 hours. The macadamized road is in most excellent order; the passengers crossed the 12 miles in two hours.
Our dates from New York are to the 20th, and from New Orleans to the 22nd. Adams & Co. were the first to supply us with papers. We have to thank the Wells, Fargo & Co., and Gregory and Bedford for favors.
F.C. Gray, Esq., formerly Alderman of this city, committed suicide on the 16th of July, in Westchester county, New York.
Walker Fearn, of Mobile, has been appointed Secretary of Legation to Brussels.
The Indians have been very troublesome of late about the falls of St. Anthony. The Sioux and Chippeways are at war, and never let any opportunity slip of attacking each other.
