A aet of reckless desperadoes had pretty much the control of the Ca nal, and It waa with difficnlty any boat could pass through.

The following fetter from Mr. Feiooaoa ia of a date antecedent to thoee heretofore pub- fiahed ; but ft contains matter of intereit, and will doubtleta be acceptable to our renders: Panama, April 3J., 1849. Wa arrived at Chngrawthe 24th, at about noon, and visited tha old' Fort in the after noon. It muat have been quite a formidable placain it day; its wells, ditches, maga xinea, and many other parta are nearly per fect. Soraetiug like 60 of 60 large guns and mortara, about half of tbem brass, lay on the ground, with their carriages rotted under then; theae guns are elevated from 75 to 100 feet above tbe ocean and river. The towrl of Chagrca ia quite compactly built of thatch ed roof huta. one atorV hih : the walla are made moatly of reeda j. the size variea from 10-12 to 15-25 Teat, and a very faaf are of larger diraenifona. The nativea are very peaceable, and aeem perfectly honeat ; their dreaa ia light, the men moatly with a thin pair of panta and a linen al.irt, which ia uanally worn, outeiile of tbe, panta.

M., beituj about 48 boura on the paeeage. The river ia very crooked, and for the laat 25 milea, to ahalkw and rapid that we did not pretend to aae our oara but propelled tbe ea noe with polea. 'There were many placea with barely water enough to float, and for the laat 3 or 4 milea we walked, the current Betting ao atrong that our men could make but Very, little .teaJway. The stream ia a moat beautiful one, with high banka, nearly the whole dialance, wjth no awampe of any note it tha bed of tha rim m gravelly or ato ny nearly ita whole diaunca. The water, of which I partook very freely, k aa clear aa that of your aprliiga. Qorgona ia aitunted bn a high bluff, 40 or 50 feet above the bed of the rier, with about 75 or 100 ,hota, aimilar to thoae iu Ch agree ; the iobabiun.a are of the aame elaaa; they bayr 00 encloeuree around their houtea ; the land aecaaa to be publto property ; the Araer kaoa pitch their tenia wherever they chooae, jritbout aaking aoy qaeatiooa; the French and American llotele Are quite large aad comfortable buildioga; we lodged -one night at tbe French, where we found a good eot UeJeepipoo, for 50 cent. The church ia aomelhiug beyond toy power to deecribe, ao that joo om hart aay Idea of ita reality. It ia ftbout 40 foot wide, and 60 long, about 25 feel of the roof jp eorerwd'wiih tUe, tha hal aseai ia without ant eotreruig whatever.

On the 29th, Dall and myarlf made a bar gain with the nattvea to take pur baggage to Panama; it coat about $8,00, per hundred jK)Un(la, but we lumped it ait 38.

They cltnrge l0 for mule to ride acroaa, Dall and royaelf atajted on foot .with Our baggnge,v at 6 o'clock.! 00 the 30th. Dull kept along with the men and 1 kept up with my trunk on horae-back. The pack horaea went 15 milea" and ptopped for the night. I stopped all night with about 20 of the blackt, nor one of whom could apeak Engliah. I laid down on the ground without a blanket or any covering except an umbrel la eprrad upon a couple of Pulm leavea. I atarted early next morning ahead of my trunk, which overtook me about 5 milea from Pa nama, where I stopped at an American tent to get a cup of coffee and a plate of rice and molaasea ; while resting here Dali came up and we proceeded on our way together to- wurda the town, where we urrivedat 2 p. m. The road from Gorgona to this place ia up hill ajjd down through the very deep cute where the raina and mulea have eomprctely worn the ground away. There are no streams on the route that 1 could not paea' without wetting my feet, although some of tbem aeem to have been rivera ip the wet season. There haa been no rain for three or four week, end the vegetation appears considerably parched ; they say that the wet aeaaon eommencra about the last of this month. When we ar rived we went to tbe American Hotel, kept by Germans, wliicb is a very large houae, and very good fare for $2 per day. Sunday we went to the Catholic church, fin the morning.) It being Palm Sunday, the nativea entered the church with a bunch of Palm leaves in their bands, lrora 6 to 10 feet long ; three or four priests officiated. The aervicea consisted through the morning of chanting, each priest repeating one ill a aing ing tone, accompanied by a couple of klina and eotne few vocalists. The church or ca thedral, as .it is called, ia a large massive building supported by heavy square rolumns throughout the interior. Some of the people were well dressed, some in their every day clothes, as dirty as though they had juat come Irom the kitchen, ine better class with their servants bringing their mats to kneel upon, some sitting flat 011 the pavements, some in one position and some in another. In the alternoon we went in search of rooms, to keep Bachelors Hall ; we soon found a Yankee Dr. Smith who had rented half of the Bishop's Pulace for $1 per day ; he let us have half of hie rooms and a teckloft, far ehe dollar per day ; we took then, and 3 other persona joined Ua, so that our reut is about 20 cents, per day . We have not com menced cooking yet, but shall to-morrow. We can live here for about 75 ceit per day, including rent by buying our owa provisions, whicji are quite reasonable. 'After we had rented our room and moved into it, on. 8onday we went to a cockfight, and aaw aereral kill ed in the cruel combat ; whetr we got tired of that sport we left, and just aa we got out of the Cock Pit, we. met the Tloat attending Christ on a Jackaas. through the street ; two priests were on each side holding np the image, with little female chiidrf u ia compa ny beautifully dreaeed, Ada tfe .proceeeion ruehlng along like the 'Negroea and Chil dren in Wilmiog.on on a muster Hay. 1 We have all aorta of sport going on at the same time, they have public worship here .every d-w this week, next Sauday oeiag easier, we expect great doings; the stores are all open, and aU kinds ofboaiaeaa are transacted the aame a other days, -1 - .' . .

When the tide' is out the rock n re naked in places for a m.le or so that you ra.iv walk over them ; vessels cannot come within 3 or 4 miles of the city; when they do come which ia very seldom. There are only twd vessels in port : one an English Brig, and the other a German Barque ; both loaded with coal, the Barque consigned to Howard end As pen wall. She has been here 3 or 4 weeks at $40jperday ;' waiting for the steamer Cali fornia, which ha riof returned yet. The Engliah Brig haa been chartered to San Francisco the cabin $350, and the ateerage $250, 0o you ace that -we are in a box ; men are waiting here iiow. who had rickets in the California on her first trip and who could not be accommodated on her, nor the Oregon ) It ia supposed that there are from 1500 tp 2000 persons waiting for a passage to California, and, when we ahull all get away it ia more than' I can te'll. Those New York agenta ought to be abot 1 there are many here who are out of money . ; many more arc returning back to the States ; some to Vera Crut and some acroaa Mexico ; some cannot go any way ; we did not buy ticket in New York, becauee we could not get any before May, but we miaoed it; if we had bought them, we could have abld them for three timee their cost; still notwithstanding the present prospects, there ia a houae here that will bind themaelvea for $200 ; they will pay us back l per day for our board, as long as we are obliged to stay ; ihey' have engaged ships from Pateo nDd Callao ; some of which are now due; ir ao We may get off yet ; we did not expect to go until the Oregon returna ; Dall has a brother in her, who ia mate, and if he goet. I am bound to go, -if they throw me overboard. Dall has pledged himself to see me through ; if it were not for him I should be compelled to put back. Shou'd you get! this before all of the reet of the folk leave, ad vwe them to tuke some other route, unless they have a plenty of the needful ; it ie sup posed that the California has some difficulty about coal. ' This place is psrfectly healthy ; I have not heard ot a single death since I arrived. I inquired of the Doctors and they say that there is very little sickness here at any time. There is very Utile employment here for Americans, some few have got small jobs ; the people are generally poor.
