Arrival of the S.S. Lewis

The steam propeller S.S. Lewis, Capt. Baker, arrived this morning from New York via Rio Janeiro, Valparaiso, Panama, San Juan and Acapulco. She brings from Panama and San Juan a very large number of passengers ’ a list of whom will be found under the marine head, as also the names of the persons who died on board on the passage up. The S.S. Lewis is intended to run on Vanderbilt’s Nicaragua route, in connection with the Independence and the Pacific on this side, and the Prometheus, Daniel Webster and Northern Light on the Atlantic side. She is a large fine looking vessel, possessing apparently all the requisites for a good safe sea-going steamer.

Shipping Intelligence
Port San Francisco, July 8, 1852
July 7--Steamer S.S. Lewis, Baker, 112 days from New York, via Rio de Janeiro 82 days, Valparaiso 41 days, Panama 26 days, San Juan 23 days, and Acapulco 11 days. 653 passengers.

THE S. S. LEWIS PASSENGERS.

We are pained to hear from the passengers by the S.S. Lewis, that the trip across to San Juan was one of the most difficult and unfortunate ever undertaken by travelers on that route. The sickness and death among the Northern Light’s passengers was truly frightful.

San Juan was the scene of many melancholy occurrences during the detention of the S.S. Lewis passengers. A number of deaths occurred, but are to be found properly reported in another column. It is feared that the passengers en route for this port from San Juan, in sailing vessels, have terribly suffered from sickness and privation.

NINE DAYS LATER FROM
THE ATLANTIC STATES!!
ELEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE

By the S.S. Lewis, which arrived yesterday from San Juan del Sud, we have received files of the Trait d’Union, (published in the City of Mexico) with dates to the 19th of June. Through this journal we received intelligence from Atlantic States to the 2d of June last. The news, it appears, was transmitted from New York to New Orleans by telegraph.

The brig Eagle sailed from the latter port on the 2d June, reaching Vera Cruz in eleven days, from whence the intelligence was transmitted by telegraph to the city of Mexico, and published in the Trait d’Union of the 19th June as follows:

UNITED STATES. Our advices from the United States are up to the 2d of June, and is of no great interest. The attention of the country appears to principally be drawn towards the coming Presidential election.

The National Democratic Convention charged with the selection of the candidate for their party, met at Baltimore on the 1st of June. The candidates mentioned as most prominent were Messrs. Cass, Douglas and Buchanan.

The following are noted as having died at San Juan del Sur:
