The Mails from the States had not been heard from when the Golden Gate left (she having waited the allotted time), and fears were entertained that some accident had befallen the steamers on the other side.

The Carolina was in readiness and would leave immediately on the arrival of the mails. The Golden Gate brings a small mail that was brought to Chagres by the Ohio, which left New York on the 13th Oct. The steamer California arrived at Panama on the 2d, and the New Orleans on the 31 November.
