New York, July 22.
The steam ship Crescent City with dates from San Francisco to the 15th June, just reached her dock. The passengers on board have 180,000 in gold.
On the 14th of June, there was another terrible fire at San Francisco; 300 buildings were destroyed, and the loss was estimated at 5,000,000.
There is a general complaint of dull times; light sales and light profits have been the order of the day. This state of affairs is not confined to San Francisco, but extends to the surrounding country nearly to the same extent. Sacramento and other towns to the northward, and Stockton and surrounding towns in the south, all reiterate the same statement.
Throughout the mining region great inactivity prevails. The water is yet too high to attend to successful diggings, and the great bulk of the miners are awaiting the falling of the streams. The number of miners on the different streams had greatly increased since last season, and when the mining shall have fairly commenced, great quantities of gold dust will be found coming in.
