Isthmus Intelligence.

The Panama brings us files of the Star, Herald and Echo to the 25th ult, being but four days later than they were received by the California.

The rain had not ceased, and the Cruces road was said to be in the most wretched condition. The Star says:

The memory of the oldest inhabitant runneth not back to the time when the winter or rainy season held on or lasted so long as doth the present. Here is the 23d of December, and the rain has not ceased and the Cruces road was never in worse plight.

Don Salvator Boldan, the newly appointed Governor of the Isthmus, had arrived at Panama.

ANOTHER FLORES EXPEDITION. A passenger by the British steamer Bogota informs us that Flores was engaged in getting up another expedition against Ecuador. It is said that his army this time is to consist of Americans entirely, enlisted in California, a large number of whom have already enrolled themselves in the ranks. We further learn that two steamers have been purchased for the expedition. We give the above as we heard it, and wait further information before confirming it.

Star

A concert was given at the Aspinwall House by a party of musicians who were passing through the city.

The Panama took away nearly all the passengers remaining on the Isthmus.
