The British ship Sir Charles Napier, Captain Webster, arrived at San Francisco on the 21st of May, ninety days from Panama, with 18 cabin passengers and 156 steerage. When one week from Panama, the measles, dysentery and fever began to show themselves, and continued with more or less virulence for about three weeks, in which time no less than 36 were consigned to the deep. A succession of calms on and near the equator, no doubt caused this great mortality, as the heat at that time was most excessive. Although the passage was 90 days from port, there were not 30 of them on which there was wind enough to keep the sails full. Among the deaths we regret to notice the following from Georgia: The steamship McKim sailed from Panama on the 28th of November last, but has been ever since detained by an accident, on the passage, at Monterey. The following deaths, taken from the ship’s log, have occurred on board since she sailed from Panama:-- Died on the passage. –Dec. 6, Robert Gammell, Canada, passenger; 7th William Cotts, England, waiter; Amasa Rowell, Michigan, passenger; 10th, Neil McQuarry, Ireland, passenger; 11th, John Clapp, Jr., Massachusetts, passenger; William Oakstrong, New-York, seaman; John Sayers, Germany, passenger; 15th, Benjamin Herrick, Maine, passenger; 17th, Joseph Bolen, Georgia, passenger; 24th, Lovan Conway, Maine, passenger; 27, Wm. W. Johnson, Georgia, passenger; Jan. 5, John M. Dodge, Massachusetts, passenger; Feb. 10, John Cart, Indiana, passenger. Died in California.—March 1, J. J. Simmons, Georgia, passenger; 14th, George Sanford, New-York, waiter; April 2, John W. Moore, Baltimore, passenger; May 4, Abraham Bisson, Canada, seaman; 13th, Michael Conway, Philadelphia, steward.—Sav. Rep. ******************** July 15, 1852 TRIBUTE OF RESPECT Whereas, an all-wise Providence of God has removed from among the living, our beloved brother, A. D. LOVELESS, who died on the 5th day of March, whilst on his way to California. Therefore, Resolved, 1st.
