The steamship Golden Age arrived at San Francisco yesterday, with passengers, mails and freight from New York, per steamer Illinois, of sth August, and New Orleans, per Grenada, to August 7th.

The last English steamer from San Juan brings intelligence of great dissatisfaction among the troops forming Walker's army; many of them were sick, and all badly provisioned. They were taking advantage of every opportunity of leaving the State. That portion of the natives opposed to Walker were daily gaining strength, while the adjoining States were combining their forces to march against him at an early date.

The Panama Star states that Rivas is fortifying himself against Walker, and contends that he is State President.
