May 21, 1851, Daily Alta California

The Pacific Mail Steamer Tennessee, Capt. Geo. M. Totten, arrived at her anchorage in this harbor, at 5 o'clock, P. M. yesterday. She left Panama at 5 o'clock, P. M. on the 1st inst, and has therefore made the passage in nineteen days. The Tennesee touched at Acapulco, San Bias, Mazatlan, San Diego and Monterey; and would have made the passage at least one day quicker had she not eucountered a heavy head wind and sea after rounding Cape St. Lucas.

She brings about 400 passengers, amongst whom we are gratified to notice there are some fifty ladies and as many children.

Messrs Gilbert and Kemble are among the number of passengers on the Tennessee. There was much sickness) on board, but the medical treatment of the sick was so skilful that no deaths occurred.

The steamships Crescent City, Alabama, North America. Georgia, Brother Jonathan, Mexico, Prometheus, El Dorado, and the English steamer Severn, had all arrived at Chagres previous to the sailing of the Tennessee, bringing about fifteen hundred passengers in the aggregate. The propeller Columbus, with some 300 passengers, sailed from Panama for San Francisco, via Acapulco. one hour before the Tennessee, but was passed coming out of Panama Bay at 9 o'clock the same evening. There were eight men of war lying in Panama harbor at the time the Tennessee left.
