ARRIVAL OF THE BROTHER JONATHAN.

CONTINUED RAVAGES OF THE FEVER IN NEW ORLEANS.
ABOLITION EXCITEMENTS.
Attack by a Californian New Mail Proposals — Executions, etc.


The Nicaragua steamer Brother Jonathan came into port last evening, having left San Juan del Sur on the 19th ult. She reports the road from San Juan to the lake in fine condition, and the country healthy. The ship has had no sickness on board since she left this port.

MEMORANDA—The steamer Brother Jonathan left San Juan del Sur at 12 o’clock P.M. of the 19th September; connected with the Northern Light, which ship encountered very heavy weather on her outward passage. When the B.J. left, the road over the transit route was in excellent condition; there had been but little rain and no sickness. Arrangements are in progress for placing express wagons on the road immediately, for the transportation of baggage, specie, etc. The B.J. encountered the equinoctial gale off Acapulco; has had no sickness on board since leaving San Francisco. 

By this arrival we have broken files of New York papers to the 5th ult.’fifteen days later’and telegraphic dates from New Orleans to the 3d September ’ two days later. The ravages of the fever continued in New Orleans, though it was thought the disease was becoming less virulent.

It is stated by our New York correspondent, apparently on good authority, that Robt. J. Walker will not go to China after all. It is said that the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company have secured his services as financial agent in England, and that he finds it more to his interests and tastes to go there than to China. 

The Old Hunker and Barnburner wings of the Democratic party in New York are again at war, and are to hold each a State convention . . .
