In to morrow morning's Picayune, as usual, will be found the list of the letters remaining in the city Post Office np to this evening, and published officially" in this paper. As already announced, it should be noticed by those interested, that there is now only one Hit of letters made out by the Postmaster in each week, and that is dated on every consecutive Friday. The old plan of giving out a Sunday list has been re.

lmqnished, and the duly authorized official" list will always appear in Friday morning's Picayune. Jjtf Two letters from our Panama correspondentone giving a summary of the news from thu Pacific Coast of South America, and the other in relation to affairs in New Granada, and especially tbe action of the New Granadian Congress on the Cass Herran Convention are crowded out by the pressure of other news of interest. They will appear to morrow morning. EF The Vicksburg True Southron says the five river counties of Mississippi Bolivar, Coahoma, Issaquena, Tunica and Washington! containining taxable property to the value of over forty millions of dollars contain less than fifteen hundred voters. In 1857, they polled leas than 1,200 votes.

Vaatrteen Days Later Train Key Went. By the arrival of the steamship Empire City, we have the annexed interesting letter from oar Key West correspondent, giving fourteen days later Intelligence than we previously had CSpecial Correspondence of the Picayune. Ket West, August 9, 1858. By my despatch of the 26th ulL, yon were informed hat the ship Otseonthe was discovered to be on fixe about 3 o'clock of the morning of the 2th, and that every exertion was being made for the preservation of the ship and cargo. She has since burnt down to the water's edge.

A contract has been entered into with paities here for raising the halt and getting oat the cargo. They have succeeded in removing it into shoater water, where it is considered more convergent to the operators. The perishable poi tion of the cargo of the bark Lyra was sold by the U. 8. Marshal at public auction on the oth inst.

for 1 ,705. Mr. Salas, H. C. M.

Consul for Spain, was drowned about noon of the 27th nit No cause can be assigned for the melancholy accident. The following is a copy of a paper picked np on our beach. It was found in a bottle, and was given me by the finder Ship Trank Pierce, at sea, July 7, 1853. Position of ship at noon, thirteen days out from Southwest Pass, bound to Liverpool, all well. Lat.

S. M. steamship Philadelphia, Harrison, from New Orleans. After exchanging passengers and mails, both sailed again for New York. The latter toacnes on Havana.

By the arrival of the British schooner Fanny, Demeritt, we are informed that two barks were passed by him, ashore otf Carys lort Beef Lighthouse, not more than a mile apart. The wrecking vessels frxyn this place have gone to their assistance. Since writing the above, we learn by the arrival of the schooner Dudley, Capt Johnson, who is just from the Keel with forty three boxes of sugar from the British bark Walton, that the two barks seen by the British schooner Fairy are the American bark Wm. Burgess, ladened with sugar, from Cienfuegos bonnd to Boston, and the British bxrk Walton, William Shaw, master, from Havana bound to Falmouth, England, laden with 1600 boxes sugar. Capt.

Shaw arrived in the Dndley this morning, and he informs me that the two vessels are otf, and on their way down in charge of the wreckers. They will probably be in by evening. In reply to the inquiry as to the cause of the disaster, he says that he mistook the Carys fort Beef light foe the Gun Key light, there being no difference in the appearance of the two lights, and only a few seconds difference in tbe duration of the flash. He says his vessel does not leak any. He has consigned to H.

B. M. Consul, O. O'Hara, Esq. The American bark Wm.

Burgess passed close UJ him about 2 A. M. Friday, when some one on board of her hailed him, asking what light he took that to be, when he replied that he thought it was the Gun Key light the person hailing remarked, so I thought." ARRIVALS.

The steamship Empire City, Capt Griffin, from New York via Havana, arrived early this morning. The Empire City left New York at 2 P. M. on the 2d hove to off the Moro at 4 P. M.

on tbe 8th, and Bent her passengers and mails by a steamtug into Havana. Left three hours later for Key West, and arrived at that port at daylight on the 9th. Found in port steamsbip3 Magnolia and Suwanee, the latter to leave on the 10th for New York. The steamships Star of the West and Philadelphia had left Key West on the 8th the former for New York direct with $1,500,000 in treasure and 2i8 passengers, and the latter for Havana. Of 44 passengers on board the Empire City 22 left San Francisco on the 20th of July; in the steamship Golden Age.

The Empire City brings the heaviest cargo of the season. The following is a list of her passengers From Arte York. Edwin Borth, Gwo. L. Baker, Miss Hicks, Mr.

Von Heppe', Miss Hendry, James Cooper and 16 rteerrge. os Snn Ftancitco.ti. W. Wallis, wife and six children Dr. Winfield, R.

J. and 12 steerage. We have fnll files of Havana papers by tbe Empire City to the inclusive, but they comprise nothing of importance from Cuba A royal decree is published, requiring the authorities to ascertain particulars of all persons engaged in the gloiious battle of Tra. falgar who may need aid, that the Government may take measures to accord it to them. At Grande the beat was complained of as excessive, and the drought as causing anxiety bat there had been no increase of mortality, and the price which sugar was bringing satisfied the planters.

At Sancti Spiritus want of rain was com plained of. At this la ft named place a corporal had been bot for abandoning his guard and deserting with others, whom he helped to procure arms, i The railroad from Kegla to Guanabacoa was doing a veiy flourishing business. The biig G. H. Cbpse, Capt.

Urquhart, sailed for this poiton the 7th and the Tallulah, Capt. Hansen, on the 6th. Later from Texas. Arrival ef Steamship Matagorda. The steamship Matagorda, Capt.

Wilson, from Indianola and Galveston, arrived early thjs morning. Her passenger and consignee lists will be found in the marine news column. By this arrival we have Galveston papers to the 9th and others from interior and coast townS. The Galveston Civilian, of the 9th, says Onr accounts last week from the interior represent many portions of the country as beginning to need rain. Not only had the sugar cane begun to suffer from drought, but cotton was beginning to languish.

The Register says that on some plantations in Washington county the ground is literally covered with "squares," while the plant is undergoing a rapid change from the healthful and vigorous appearance to the sickly hue consequent on tbe absence of tbe proper nourishment. Tbe state of things is said to be confined chiefly to the uplands. Tbe Brgister says that the cotton on the bottom lands still holds its own, though there are evident signs of itssoen following in the wake of the former, if not immediately relieved, by refreshing showers. Similar accounts reach us from some other sections bat we trust that the rain which has visited Galveston has extended to the interior, if it was not preceded by rains there a circumstance indicated bv the northwesterly winds of Saturday and Sunday nights. A meeting of the citizens of Washington and vicinity was held, on the 29th to tender Gen.

Sam Houston a public dinner. The Houston Telegraph, of the 9th, publishes returns of the election for Associate Justice from twenty four counties, which show the following result Buckley 5,002 Bell Saval. The steam frigate Colorado, from Key West, arrived at Boston on the tkh inst. in Monroe County, 4a. The Claiborne Southerner, of the Oth inst, says Yesterday evening were visited by a very severe bail storm, which lasted about half an hour.

We have not heard anything from the country, but from the size and quantity of hail which fell, the damage to the crops must be considerable. Health of Vicktburg.Th Vicksburg True Southron, of the 10th inst, says We are gratified to announce the continued good health ef our city, and the uttr absence, np to this time, of any apprehension of serious sickness. We have, of course, as is common throughout the South, at this season, both in town and country, some cases of sickness; but none of a dangerous character. Solid Men. We often hear persons designated as the solid men of a community.

bat we question if an equal amount of solidity is often lound in the same number of persons, as in the aggregate weight of foar brothers who visited Nantucket last week. The name of these brothers is Cox the four weighing 873 pounds, the youngest counting 265 pounds and running up six feet two inches. This is the first time the four have been together for thiity tbree years and as Nantucket was the birthplace of their mother, by agreement they met hereJ They have all commanded ships, three of them whalers, and the fourth a merchantman, and recently arrived master of snip Magnolia, of New Bedford. We learn from a gentleman who knows them well, that it is not alone in flesh they are substantial, bat in those elements which go to make np the goo1 citizen, they aie likewise solid men." I Nantncket Enquirer. Mode of "Preparing Chamois Leather.

The peculiarity in the preparation of chamois leather, now so much in use, is the application of oil to the skins instead of alum or tannin Formerly only the skin of the chamois goat was thus prepared, but now the skins of many other animals are subjected to this process. The coarser kinds are known as wash leather. After being prepared in the usual way, the skins are smeared and fulled with cod oil, or any cheap animal oil two or three gallons of oil being absorbed by hundred skins. The skins are then allowed to uadergo a slight fermentation, and are finally immersed in a weak solution of potash, which removes the snperflnons oil, forming with it a soluble soap. A great deal of chamois leather is made from the least regular portion of split skins.

la speaking of fashionable card writer; signing bis name, Mrs. Partington potently remarked He consigned his autocrat to the missile with wonderful effulgence. Isaac, son, hand me a FIFTEEN DAYS FROM THE PACIFIC. LATER By the arrival of the steamship Empire City, we have San Francisco papers to the 20th of July) being fifteen days later than we previously had. The intelligence from the Pacific coast is highly interesting, although comprising none of grout importance.

The San Francisco Bulletin, of the 20thi furnishes a summary of the California news, from which we copy aU that is of interest here, as follows California. During the past fortnight, Fraser river matters have continued to monopolize public attention. For the first few days after the departure of the last Eastern mail, the emigration to the North continued nnabatad. The news then brought from there was considered as unfavorable and up to the present, this has continued to be tbe character of the intelligence. Tbe consequence has been the immediate cooling down of the fever that raged so violently throughout the State for tbe past six weeks.

The tide thitherward has received a sudden check and at present writing, tbe number of Fraser river emigrants to be met is not very great This is perhaps exceedingly fortunate. The number of young men who have harried otf from our State to the new mining region ap Croximates to 25,000. Many of these were adly provided with means to exist for any length of time in a country where the commonest necessaries of lite are exorbitantly expensive. The waters of Fraser River and its tributaries still continue too high to allow of their beds being worked. Consequently, great suffering and destitution already begin to manifest themselves in the new mines and the probability is that much more will be felt before the mining season begins.

In the meantime, matters on Fraser River continue really in the condition that all well informed people expected they would be at this time. The river is very high, and is kept np by tbe melting of the mountain snows during the present summer weather in that region. This snow, after a while will be exhausted or if not, when the cold sets in, it will freeze; and the liver will go down, and eBable the miners to work the bars, on which the rich placers are believed to exist. How long it will be before this takes place, if it will ever happen, is now the question under discussion. Two months at farthest, say the sung nine.

The desponding say, when the snow freezes tbe rainy season will have set in thus supplying tbe stream all the year round with an abundance of water. So little reliable information about this country is in possession of the whites as yet, that nothing else is left but to wait patiently the operation of time for the solution of this disputed point About the existence of rich mines on Fraser River and its tributaries, there seems to be no dispute. The difficulty is, that these mines are now covered with water, and are kept so by the melting snows in the mountains It is said that dry have been discovered at a few places yet the extent of these and their general character for richness and facility of working, can only be determined by future At present, the vast body of miners on Eraser river are kept together in a few camps, by the desire to possess themselves of on the rich Lars, when tbe stream falls, and by the dread of hostile Indians molesting small parties who might traverse the wilderness in search of dry diggings. It is stated that a rich vein of mineral coal has been discovered in Sonoma county, about forty miles from the town of Petaluma The coal is described as being very similar to the English cannel coal. The messenger of the Alta Express Company was robbed, near Yankee Jim's, in Placer county, on the 6th July, of $7000.

Fort Miller, a station for U. S. troops in Fresno coanty, has been abandoned, and the Government property there was sold at auction on the 7th July. Two Concord stages have left Placerville to take position on the mail line between Salt Lake and California. It is believed that this line will soon be in regular operation.

The Merced Mining company, in Mariposa county, has been in difficulty with CoL John C. Fremont On Friday, July 9th, an armed party made an attack upon what is known as the Pine Tree Drift," a quartz lead worked by Col. Fremont Fremont's men prepared to defend themselves, and held the place for several days, with arms in their hands. In the meantime a correspondence was carried on between Col. Fremont and the leaders on the other side, which resulted in an agreement to forbear from hostilities until an application contd be made to the Governor.

Hearing afterwards that the Governor intended to call out the military to disperse the attacking artv, the assailants prudently withdrew, ana eft Fremont in possession of the claim. The troubles in San Luis Obispo have been well nigh brought to a close. There have been no executions by the Vigilance Committee since Nieves Robles was hung on the 28th June. Jack Powers, the leader of the bandits, has escaped If he could be taken he would undoubtedly be hang by the people. In 1849, one A.

J. Harding, in coming to California, found on the other side of the Sierra Nevada range of mountains a rich vein of what he believed to be silver ore, some specimens of which he brought with him to this State. Lately he has organized a party of 15 men at Petaluma, to go and search tor this mine, believing it to be very rich. Those who have joined him are said to be practical miners and men of sense. Tbe politicians throughout the State are making a stir preparatory to the September election.

There is a desperate fight going on in the Democratic party between the Administration and Douglas men. The federal officers in this State are making a strong effort to get possession of the Nominating Convention, which meets in Sacramento the beginning of August. Broderick's friends are striving to defeat them. In either case there will be a split, and in all probability two distinct Democratic tickets in the field. It is thought the Republicans will rally to the support of the Douglas wing and thus defeat the Administration party in California At any rate an interesting political fight is ahead of as.

On tbe 17th July the County Treasurer of Mariposa county was robbed at Sacramento of $7,600 of the public funds he was conveying to the State Treasury. There was no public celebration of the 4th of July in this city. The public mind was so preoccupied with the Fraser river excitement that tbe nation's birthday was almost allowed to pass over without any public acknowledgment Private individuals, particularly the boys, exhibited more patriotism, and the usual amount of fire crackers and squibs were consumed. The steamer Commodore, which left this city on the 8th July for Victoria, V. with a large number of passengers and a heavy freight, returned on the morning of the in a sinking condition.

It appeared that this rotten old steamer, after getting to sea, was found to be overloaded and unsea worthy. She sprung a leak and her pumps ont of order. To keep her afloat the passengers had to baa her with backets and barrels, and also throw overboard a quantity of her cargo, including ten or twelve horses. Upon the arrival of the ship here, the passengers got possession of the agent of the owners and came near hanging him for sendingtbem to sea on such an unsafe vessel. He got out of their hands by refunding their passage money and.

agreeing to pay for the baggage that had been thrown into the re a. This old steamer was formerly called the Brother Jonathan, bat to deceive the traveling public her name was changed to that of Commodore. Mrs. John Wood, the favorite actress, has commenced an action for divorce in the Twelfth District Court, in this city. She charges her husband with drunkenness and cruelty.

The Bensley Water Company has succeeded at last in getting fresh water, from Lobos Creek, into this city. It is brought in a wooden flume along th beach, a distance of about Bix miles. It is to be delivered in a reservoir at North Beach, from whence it will be pumped np for distribution throughout the city. The company intended to substitute Sermanent works for the present" temporary ruing, as soon as possible. Our city has been well supplied with fruit for three or four weeks past Strawberries have been unusually plenty tbe present season.

Peaches, apricots, gooseberries, cherries, are also beginning to come in in quantities; and in a short time tbe delicious grapes from the south will be received from Los Angeles by the steamers. The Alta California, in its summary of the news, has the following Arrangements have been made, and stations selected, for tne stage line to run between this city and Fort Yuma via San Jose Gilroy, Pacheco's Pass, Fresno City, the Tejon Pass, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino, connecting at Fort Yuma with tbe overland stages from that place to San Antonio, Texas. Tne stages are run each way twice a week, and to make the whole distance from St Louis to San Francisco in twenty six days. In August the stages will ran twice during the month between Fort Yuma and San Francisco, and in the middle of September the whole route is to be in full operation. Capt.

J. W. Davidson has arrived, with 150 U. S. Dragoons, at San Bernardino, on their way to Fort Tejon, from Fort Buchanan.

Company 1st Dragoons, has been ordered to Oregon. Tbe Indian Juan Antonio, chief of the Ca bailla nation, has called in all the Indians of his tribe. Many of that tribe of Indians are accustomed to find employment at Los Angeles and at farms of that and San Bernardino counties. On Sunday last he sent in all directions to call in his people, who are scattered among the inhabitants of these counties. His messenger said there was to be a grand council of chiefs to take place in a few days.

This proceeding is supposed to denote a hostile intention. Mr. Daniel Taft, who, with a number of passengers, left San Bernardino about the 1st ult, was stopped at Las Vegas while on a march by about one hundred Indians, who threatened to massacre the whole party. They succeeded in effecting a compromise by giving tbe Indians two horses, their blankets and provisions. During the past five weeks the stealing of horses in San Bernardino county has been carried on with a frequency unparalleled, and circumstances attending these thefts are confirmatory that it is done by the Indians.

Connected with these robberies, horses are frequently killed. Some of the families which left San Bernardino last year; have returned, and all are greatly dissatisfied with the Mormon affairs of Utah. Oroville was, again visited by fire on the 5th inst All the business portion of the city was destroyed. The loss is estimated at $300 000. A Mr.

Boehm was burned to death. Large numbers of Chinamen have lately emigrated to Fraser river. There are a number of contracts in existence providing for their removal thither. The total amount of gold coined at the Branch Mint, for the week ending July 10th, was 39,803 ounces, or $750,000. Rev.

Dr. Scott, who returned on the Golden Age, preached to a crowded audience Sunday, July 13th. The Wallacks are playing a very successful farewell engagement A local comedy entitled Fast Folks, or Early days of California." written by a San Francisco lawyer, bad a fine ran, and is a drama deserving of the enthusiastic encomiums bestowed upon it It will be reproduced shortly on the Atlantic side. One hundred and twenty five adventurers from Fraser river, returned in the steamer Panama on the 11th. This vessel brought down $21,000 in dust The papers report the following arrivals at San Francisco from Atlantic ports July 3, clipper ship Rattler, Almy, New York; brig Wm.

Tbe San Francisco BoEetis, in its review of the market for the preceding fortnight, remarks The importations of mauy descriptions of goods have been heavy and had the general effect of lowering prices tnore or less. Tbe main exceptions are cured meats and flour, for which a large demand has existed until within a few days, for shipment Fraser river ward. The markets thereabouts, however, having been amply, if not excessively supplied by the shipments hence, the demand has now almost ceased, and within a few days discouraging advices reaching ns of the prospects for miners in the new gold fields, and large numbers of the people who have gone thither wishing apparently to return, there is already perceptible less firmness and confidence with respect to meat provisions, the fact being self evident that as the extraordinary requirements for Fraser river made present prices, nothing but tbe continuance of that demand will suffice to sustain the market The steamship Golden Age, which left San Francisco on the 20th for Panama, had $1,522,286 43 in treasure, for New York; $326,723 13 for England; and $11,050 for Panama.

Total, $1,860,059 56. The San Francisco papers furnish the following summary of Jthe news from Oregon and Washington Territories and the Sandwich Islands Orrges. From Oregon we have dates to the 10th. The Legislature convened at Salem on the 7th, and on the 10th both houses met in joint convention to elect two United States Senators. Tbe election resulted in the choice of Gen Lane and Delazon (better known es Delusion Smith.

Tbe failure of Congress to admit Oregon into the Union seems not to have been anticipated, from the haste with which thev proceeded to fill these offices. farther Indian outrages are recorded in the Oregon papers, with the exception of an attack upon a prospecting party oCminers, none of whom, however, were killed. The confidence of the Ortgonians in the richness, of the Fraser river mines appears to be) unabated. New and rich sold discoveries ia I Oregon are also reported as constantly taking Several river steamers have been sent from the Calnmbia by sea to the Golf of Georgia. 7 5.

THE CITY. The Amphitheatre. Under the snperin tendence of our neighbor, Mr. BidwelL the Amphitheatre, on St Charles street, is un dergoing quite a change, preparatory for the approaching season. The floor of the entire parquette has been raised eight inches, so as to give those who occupy it a more command" ing view of the stage, and a new entrance has been made so as to communicate more directly and freely with the street Formerly the occupants of the parquette had to ascend to the dress circle and then descend by a stair way which made an ugly break in the 1 of the circle but according to the new arrangement all this is changed, the old stair way is entirely removed, and the breach' to the circle is made whole.

1 There are also other changes made by which the entire space in front of the stage is better husbanded than it was according to the old plan, and the enlargement of the parqneUe and dress circle is sufficient for the Roonrnlo. 1 dation of 300 additional persona, The whole of the auditorium and passages 1 leading thereto are to be newly painted and' decorated, and considerable new scenery is to be added to the stock now on hand. We notice also that the stage is to be entire ly relaid, and that splendid dressing rooms have been provided in the lower portion of Armory Hall which adjoins the rear of the Amphitheatre building. It is expected now that the Amphitheatre will open for the season about the 1st ef Qc tober. The I.vvESTieATto Still ComirtrrD.

The Sound Company and the Inspectors of Steamboats are vigorously prosecuting their nvestigation into the causes of the explosion of the Virginia. The testimony of every per son connected with the boat who is now Ht. ing, and of all persons who, from being ia the neighborhood, had any opportunity of infor. iiiation, has been This mass of teatL 1 mony seems to show that there was not steam enough made to explode a boiler. The report of an examination of the wreck, by man sent down in marine armor, renders it probs ble that the hole was made in the bottom of tbe boat by the explosion.

The divisions be. tween the water tight compartments were blown away, and the breaking ot the ptpes extending through the boat wonld have let in the water in a perfect torrent, so as to have sunk the boat as quickly as she did go down. Information has been obtained which leads' the company to suppose they have seonred a cine to the cause of the disaster, and the! par. ties who might have been agents to' it. Sab.

Ths court room was this morning crowded, and the 7 odors of the unwashed were disagreeably' present in the atmosphere which floated around. The first case called embraced a crowd ot four steamboat hands, who had pitched into" John Smith with exceeding impetuosity, illustrating his face with cut like the pictorial story books.

Braised, battered and bloody, John's face caricatured the good looks of his rela'ives, and his tongue told hard tales of the fiery fury of the four. One of the four was, however, not identified, and so he got off scot free. The other three assumed the distinguished names of John Brown, John Smith and Frank Smith. In fact, the case was almost of. the Smith eg.

Smith order, and John Smith, the felt all the worse that John South, the accused, was one of the parties who bruised and battered him. The Recorder told the trio that tbey bad broken through, the ties of good fellowship, aad thong tbey i deserved a severe punishment, he wonld simply require them to pay a fine of $10 each $30 in all ergo to prison for thirty days. Aad so the three were condocted oat, aratter ing moodily corjeerning John Smith and the summary justice to which they had been sab jected by Recorder 8ununers.
