CALIFORNIA. The latest date from San Francisco is the 18th of March.

The news is quite unimportant, though it possesses some interesting features. The first intelligence received through the new Mexican route via Vera Crux and Acapuloo, reached San Francisco on tne 16th. thirtv-einht davs from New-York. A difficulty had occurred at Grass Valley, between some Englishmen and Irishmen, who had taken possession of claims previously purchased by one or two companies of Americans. It was feared at one stage of the proceedings, that there would be blood shed, but the matter was finally left to adjudication by the Court.

Advices from all quarters of the State are favorable to the miners. The subject of the division of the State is still an important onebefore the people, though its advo cates at present are quiet.

and adopted resolutions expressive of their' frehugs epoa the sad event. The weather in San Francisco and through the interior, as te the '23d, continued exceedingly fine since then, there have been ocraaional showers of retarding awaiaeas slightly. The roads are still good to the mining dwtnets, and business ia gradually improving.

From the Cmliomimn, wo take the following exciting intelligence respecting thia noted guerrilla, the paittcnlara of which were gathered by that paper from Mr. Johk Flotd, who left lone Valley ea Wednesday moraine On Wedneaday hut, a man who was traveling from Jnekson te Setter, was attacked, near the chaparral where JoaQCIM and some of his companions were seea aad shot a few daya aince, by several Mexican, and robbed of over $r-00.

The parties did him no bodily injury, bet let him go free as soon as they got his money. He immediately retained to Jackson, where he gave the alarm, and got a band of twenty to thirty men, who repaired to the chaparral before mentioned, and arrived there about 4 o'clock ia the afternoon. Here they saw three or four Mexicans, and among them the noted Joaovih. They fired at the Mexicans, killing one, and hitting Joaquin in the cheek with balL The remaining Mexieaaa then ruahed into the chapparal, which ts so thick, except in single place, that even dog eanno. gat through it.

They were reinforced by other Americana and Indians during the evening, and kept watch all night. Oar informant did not hear that the besieged party made any attempt to eacape frem the chapparal. Yesterday, raanera were sent in nil directions te call to the aid of the beeergera every citiien of the neighborhood, as they had ascertained that Joaquik's party consiats of over fifty men, well mounted, aad.from what we already know exceedingly daring. It waa also ascertained 'that there are several Americans ia Joaocix's band, one of whom is known ss a noted hone-thief. Daring the morning of yesterday, and up to 11 o'clock, some fifty Americana aad about one hundred Indians had coegregated around the chapparal.

The Indiana have beea offered $1,000 for the head of The robbers were still in the chapparal, but the besiegers had not concluded on any mode of attack. Some proposed to set fire to tha chappral aad thus force them from their hiding-place, whilo othera proposed to eat a -road through the chapparal until they could aee the Mexicans, and then open their fire upon them. While these matters were under consideration, Mr. Floyd was obliged to leave to attend to business this city. We think it is doabtful that JoAQVlx can bo taken even now, as doubtless they have got a stronghold in the chpparal, whence they can commit great destruction on the attacking parties, without being themselves much ex-poaod to the fire of their enemies.

A single volley from fifty men lying in ambush would create auch great momentary consternation among the besiegers, that the ethers, having their horses at hand, might rash through the gap thus created, and many of them escape from the fire of those who will probably be stationed along the lino of the opening. However thia may be. the Mexieaaa and all for them are in for it, and their only chance for safety is to fight it out, which, from all the information we have, we think they will do. We may look for fearful news from the chapparal to-day or to-mor- The Mines. From the mines reports are, with respect to the diggings, sufficiently favorable, but we regret that we have to chronicle a aeries of atrocities unexampled for vil-lany and cruelty, and which have ia a great measure bean Jerpetrated with impunity.

The robber end murderer, OAQVllf, still pursues his career of crime, and each day there arrives from the interior a story of some new deed of atrocity. As may be imagined, there is little of police organization in the mountain of California. Men live in settlements that are comparatively isolated, and which, from imperfect postal arrangements, can have but little correspondence with each other. The roads which traverse the gold rejrion are also for the moat part mere mule trails, with houses occurring upon them at wide intervals, and when in addition are considered the numerous secure harbors which the mountain fastnesses furnish the robber, the wonder is that such an organization as Joaqcis's gang has for the first time sprang up. There are said to be white men acting with him but we thirdt, with all the advantages they possess, that it will not be many days before the entire party are caught, and brought to the condign punishment their crimes deserve.

They, will be hunted dwn like wolves, and will receive as utile mercy. The miners in Tuolumne are generally doing well, and -many of them making large sums of money. In fact, we doubt whether many of them are not doing better, aad making more clear money, than at any previous period. Most of the gulches in this vicinity, are paying fair average wages, and many of the claims are exceedingly rich. Every branch of business seems to be improving, and the gold ia pouring into the vaults of oar bankers and business men by the thousand.

Miners are getting clear of debt, after one of the most difficult periods we nave ever witnessed in California, and the appearance of everything in and around Columbia ia improving rapidly. Wages continue from $4 to $3 per day, and work can be found for all who wish to hire out at these prices. Provisions a.re still rapidly declining. Flour is only .15 cents per corn meal pork 37c; hama 37fc. to bacon aidea 40c to 45c; aogar 20c.

Dozens of trams are arriving and unloading daily. Tropical fruits will soon be abundant in our town, supply of oranges having already arrived. The improved condition of the. streets in Sacramento hss brought in an immense amount of trade from the interior. Two hundred and seventeen wagone aad carts were counted at one time on Friday, along the line of the Levee, loading ap and departing with full loads of merchandise.

The messengers of CaAM Rooixs' Express arrived in Shasta from Yreka on the 9th, traveling on foot through the deep snow of the vallevs and over the mountains. They report a very severe VVinter at Yreka. Provisions are still scarce, though a supply had been received from Oregon. When they left, flour was selling at thirty-five cents tt. Several teame are now on the vir bjr the Sacramento route, the aame which Colonel Flltxtt took for this place when he waa killed by the Pitt River Indians.

The mining Intelligence, so far as reported, is Three men took out $6,000 in week near Yreka, from' dirt they had thrown up during the dry season. At Jacksonville nud on Rogue River the miners were doing well. Provisions at those places were more plenty than at Yreka. supplies being received from Oregon. The roads fxoni Tehama to Shasta are good, and many migratory miners scattered along them.

Provisions along the route plenty and cheap. The Culloma AeVecafe publishes a few paragraphs of mining news The different companies drifting under our town commenced washing their pay dirt on Monday last. The Bridge Tunnel Company has drifted ia 240 feet. It is now realizing twenty doliara a day to the hand. Rubiason'a Tunnel, the claim adjoining, runs in nearly 300 feet, and is paying equally as welL Other claims are being staked en, and units will be commenced in a few days.

The miners are averaging from seven to ten dollars a day a few are making wore. The gold ia round and firm, resembling in shape small shot, and very heavy and pure. 4 Since the rains set in large amount of gold has been taken out from Shingle Creek.

In the neighborhood of Johatowa, aa excellent mining region, extensive preparations are.

The latest dates from Oregon, receired tid San Francisco, are to the 13th February. The gold mines were yielding fair returns. The Portland Time has intelligence from the mines of Yreka, Jacksonville, and Winchester. Large preparations were making for mining -operations. It waa aupposed that four thousand persona were engaged in mining.

Provisions -were getting more plenty, with a gradual reduction ia prices. The general health of the miners ia good. They have plenty of water now for washing ia the dry diggings. The flood there has been very destructive, canning considerable damage to the danse of miners and ether property. There were eight persons drowned in Jackson County during tha high water.

Previsions are plenty and low Flour 30 cents, Sugar 43, Coffee 75, Beef 25 cents per pound. The ship Aersaaa Jferrieoa arrived at Victoria, Tan couvsr's Island, on the 10th January, in 140 daya from London, with 160 passengers, comprising some 23 families. Good health had been enjoyed by nil en board, and fine weather had attended the veaael throughout her passage. This will prove a valuable acquisition to the free settlement af our neighboring Colony. i We have been favored by a friend, writes the Editor of the Portland Timet, with the perusal of a letter from the Dalles, giving a most discouraging account of affairs there.

One hill of potatoes, grown ia a field of several hundred acres, yielded, without special culture, eae ktmdrtd aad nine! jr-asae potatoes, weighing Jtty-tkrot pounds.

SANDWICH ISLANDS. Our dates from the Sandwich Islands are to Feb. 2. The Polynesian contains the following items An adjourned meeting of the Joint Stock Com pany for working the sugar plantations was held on the evening of Jan. 21, at which the Coromittec to procure subscriptions reported progress, and in formed tne meeting mas tney nad got auo-scribed, and that the proprietors of two plantations on Maui, stood ready to dispose of their estates and take stock to a considerable amount in the Com pany.

It was also announced that gentlemen from abroad had given an nuthorization to a resident here, to take stock on their account to the amount of from 10.000 to 820.000. when a Company should be incorporated and organized.

The bark er, bweetser, had arrived in 111 days from Rework, loaded with coal for the Japan expedition. The trial of the policeman who killed a sailor du ring riet in November last, at Honolulu, was going for-' ward in the Supreme Court. The proceedings of the Court occupy the greater part oi the papers. The first officer of ship Indian Chief, waa killed by a native of these lslsnds about the 1st of November, while cruising on the line. A Lahaina letter, dated Jan.

17, says that the Kanaka who killed the chief mate of the Indian Chief, has been sent home, with two witnesses, in the ship ilerimae, which is full and homeward bound. Whalers cruising around these Islands are reported as doing very well. Some have taken 500 barrels, others from 2 to 400 barrels of sperm oil in six weeks. We are happy to notice the continued activity in business of every description here in Honolulu, i Especially is it so about the wharves snd among the shipping. A good deal of merchandise is being shipped to San Francisco, and we believe all the vessels now np lor that port, including one or two vessels to arrive, will obtain full cargoes.

Well selected goods for this market, are getting scarce, and consequently, the retail trade generally is nut so brink as it otherwise would be. Tha value of real estate, aa showa by recet auction sales, is extremely low. The Wailua Falls estate, on Kauai, was sold at auction for $4,550. The estate had cost Mr. Bkowm.

the former proprietor, about $23,000, and was certainly the moat charming country seat on the islands. The prospect for a full crop of coffee on the plantations is very encourannr. the yield at llanaiei will prooaoiy not be less tha a 175,000 pounds. On Hawaii, the plantations are steadily improving, though the yield this year will not be over 75,000 pounds. The quality of the Sandwich Islands Coffee is considered fully equal to the best foreign.

Saturday. Feb. 20. Our receipts of general merchandise have been large. and present quotations indicate important a actuations in the value of several of the leadtng articles.

The effect of the high prices that have ruled for so long is now being seen. Shippers in the Atlantic aad foreign porta did not respond with their accustomed promptness to the cry of scarcity in this country, and the consequent rise in prices, or we should have received additional supplies at an earlier period. The eeasumption of all staple commodities is large, and with low prices will be very greatly increased, more especially as the miners have, during the past Winter, beea unable to purchase anything beyond what their positive necessities compelled them, nnd we may, therefore, look fba active trade three boat ba season. The ne we from Australia has caused some little excitement in various parts of the mining regions, and several vessels have been laid on for Port Philip and Sydney, and rapidly filled vnsth passengers and mercbandiae. The demand for vessel has greatly iacreaatd of late, and several have been sold at a considerable advance.

Flocb. The importations both from Chile and tha Atlantic ports have beea enormous, and prices have receded to a low pout, with no appearance ef aa improvement for long time to come. All the receipts leave a heavy loss. Several thousand bags and barrels changed hands soon after the departure of the last steamer, at about $12 but farther arrivals greatly unsettled the market, and little was done until receivers were willing to accept $9, at which price some 5,000 bbls. Gallego and Haxall brands, uninspected, have been sold, and about 2,000 mixed brands, at $8.

Today, 2.300 bbls. uninspected have been placed at 50. Holders of Chile retrain from offering. A few small sales have been nmde at $10 bag. ABLET The receipts have been large, and with more than sa ample stock oa hand, the market has been depressed.

Within the- past few days, about 20,000 bags have beea sold at 3c.S3ic, chiefly at the latter rtgure.

This action for a malicious prosecution, waa resumed oa me part of the plaintiff. Peter Crttty said that he was a deputy-keeper at the Tombs, and knew Carpenter, who was imprisoned there in the winter of 1860-51. Here the counsel for the plaintiff offered to prove that his clerk had tendered to De Forrest payment of the note. The counsel for the defendant objected, but the objection was overruled. Witness then deposed that on the 27th of Dec, 1850, he took 5500 gold from Carpenter, and went to the store of De Forrestf on Broadway.

Upon in quiring for him. La was told he was absent, Witness then told the clerk he came to take np a note which De Forrest held against Carpenter. The clerk replied that the lawyer had the note.
