SS California
Captain Budd
From Panama
Passage:
Daily Alta California, June 24, 1850
MR. GILBERT—S CORRESPONDENCE.—The California brought us an unusual quantity of letters from Mr. Gilbert, at Washington, but owing to the crowded state of our columns, their publication has been necessarily deferred until to-morrow.
ARRIVAL OF THE CALIFORNIA.—The steamship California, Captain Budd, from Panama, first instant, arrived at this port about eight o—clock yesterday morning, having experienced very heavy weather on the passage.
Mr. L.W. Walton and Mr. D. McGregor, two of the passengers, died on the passage.
She brings the mails from New York to May 13th and from New Orleans to the 15th, and about three hundred passengers. She also have $200,000 in specie on freight.
EXTENSIVE CORRESPONDENCE.—The mail received yesterday, by the California, was, perhaps, the largest ever carried by one vessel at any one time. The whole number of large and well filled bags amounted to one hundred and sixty-one or two. Col. Moore, with his usual zeal to benefit and accommodate the public, marshalled a strong force of clerks, who were in readiness at an early hour yesterday morning. — The general delivery of letters will take place tomorrow morning.
THE DISTURBANCES AT PANAMA.—In the absence of our regular files of Panama papers, we give the following account of the disturbances which occurred in that city on the 23d May.
An American, a storekeeper in Panama, having become convinced that repeated depredations on his property could be traced to his servant, a native, at length told him, that if immediate restitution were not made, that he would inflict on him severe personal chastisement. The native consented to restore the stolen goods, among which was a valuable watch, and for that purpose invited the American to accompany him to the ruins of one of the old churches, where he asserted he had concealed what he had taken. They went there, and to other places, successively designated, until it became evident that it was not the intention of the native to restore anything. Then the American, in pursuance of his original determination, struck the native repeated blows about the head and breast. Immediately a crowd collected, principally composed of blacks, who, infuriated at the treatment one of their race was receiving, pressed around, and in the melee which occurred, the first fatal thrust was given. Sempler, the person stabbed, fell dead. The natives terrified, fled the scene, but soon, from witnessing the excitement manifested by the Americans, again assembled in large bodies. A collision was inevitable, stones were thrown, and pistols fired, when the Governor appeared in the scene, and aided by influential Americans, the parties were separated. The excitement throughout the night and the following day was extreme, but gradually subsided under the judicious measures taken by the acting Governor of Panama. In this sanguinary affair two Americans and two natives lost their lives.
