LATE AND INTERESTING FOREIGN NEWS

The P. M. steamer Northerner, Capt. Isham, arrived this morning with mails and passengers.

The Pacific Mail Steamship Company steamer, Northerner, J.B.G. Isham, Esq. Commander, sailed from Panama on the 20th ult., at 8 P.M. Left in port steamers Republic, Isthmus, Columbus and Uncle Sam, the latter having arrived from New York on the 17th; she was expected to leave for this port on the 1st inst. August 27th arrived at Acapulco, exchanged mails, and sailed same day. Left in port ships May Flower, Cornelia, Mazatlan, Paulina barque Ellen, all having arrived since the10th ult., with coals for the P.M.S.S. Co. Schr B.L. Allen, Wheeler, from Realejo, bound to this port, but into Acapulco on or about the 12th ult. In distress; for some reason the vessel was forcibly taken possession of by the authorities, and the captain and crew thrown into prison; they were still under confinement when the steamer left. Sept. 3d, arrived at San Diego, exchanged mails and proceeded on; touched at Monterey 5th inst., and arrived at this port this day at 5 A.M. Detained off the harbor since daylight Tuesday morning on account of the fog. Running time 15 days.

The Northerner brings the regular U.S. mails, a heavy freight, and about 200 passengers. Also dates via Acapulco from New Orleans to the 13th, and telegraphic despatches from New York to the 8th ult.

The health of the Isthmus was excellent when the steamer left, not a case of sickness having occurred among the passengers since leaving New York. The transit was also good, the mails, consisting of 250 bags, having crossed from Cruces in less than six hours. A large body of men have been employed to repair the Cruces road, which, it is expected will be completed by October, when the crossing can be made from Panama to Aspinwall in less than one day.

The regular dates by the Northerner are no later, but via Mexico we have newspapers from New Orleans to the 13th ult., and telegraph items from New York to the 8th. Our dispatches were received by the Ramsay route . . .

The Yellow Fever was raging with fearful mortality at New Orleans. Hundreds had left the city; 219 died of yellow fever during the 24 hours preceding Friday night, 12th ult, at 6 o clock.

FROM CHILE.
Thirty Days Later.

By the Northerner we have dates form Valparaiso to the 30th of July. The Pacific Steam Navigation Co. steamer Anito was wrecked on the 10th of July, by striking on a rock twelve miles from Huasco. The letter bags were saved. One person only was lost. Sixteen heavy bars of silver bullion were lost.

Miss Hayes had given several concerts in Valparaiso with great success . . .

A law is proposed and will probably pass, to exempt from anchorage duties for ten years the vessels that bring immigrants to the colonies of Llanquihue.

Another proposed law encourages the introduction of foreign cattle.

The treaty of peace, commerce and navigation with Peru has been approved by both parties . . .
Exclusive privilege of navigating the coasts of Chile with vessels driven by caloric engines has been granted to a company.

Many internal improvements are in progress. The Rivers Bio and Maule have been examined by engineers, who report that those rivers may be made navigable by locks and dams. An iron bridge has been ordered to be built on the Maule . . .

FROM MEXICO.
Twenty Days Later.

By the Northerner we have dates from the city of Mexico to the 20th of August.

The Siglo Diez y Nueve, the liberal opposition newspaper, was fined $400 for discussing ("seditiously," says the note of the censor) the measures of the administration, and the editor has declared that his paper will no longer have any political character. This is an important affair, and will excite the ultra-democrats to do their utmost against Santa Anna. The Siglo has long been the organ of a powerful and the most intelligent party in the country, and that party have by this tyranny received a great affront . . .

Some of the authorities on the Northern frontier have refused to grant passports to persons coming from New Mexico to California.

Artful Players: Artistic Life in Early San FranciscoArtistic Life in Early San Francisco.
Birgitta Hjalmarson
Gold Rush San Francisco.Artists in early California.With a handful of wealthy Gold Rush barons as indulgent patrons, an active community of artists appeared in nineteenth-century San Francisco almost overnight. A subculture of artistic brilliance and social experimentation was the result -- in essence, a decades-long revelry that purportedly ended with the 1906 earthquake. Witness Jules Tavernier, hungry and in debt, accepting a stuffed peacock and two old dueling pistols in payment for a Yosemite landscape; Mark Twain as reluctant art critic.

Publications About San Francisco, including Infinite City
What makes a place? Rebecca Solnit's reinvention of the traditional atlas, searches out the answer by examining the many layers of meaning in one place, the San Francisco Bay Area. Aided by artists, writers, cartographers, and twenty-two gorgeous color maps, each of which illuminates the city and its surroundings as experienced by different inhabitants, Solnit offers views that will change the way we think about place. She explores the area thematically -- connecting, for example, Eadweard Muybridge's foundation of motion-picture technology with Alfred Hitchcock's filming of Vertigo. She finds landmarks and treasures -- butterfly habitats, murders, blues clubs, Zen Buddhist centers. She details the cultural geographies of the Mission District, the culture wars of the Fillmore, South of Market . . . This atlas of the imagination invites us to search out the layers of San Francisco that carry meaning for us.
