Alfred Robinson defends Pacific Mail Steamship Panama’s Monterey handling, cites coal deposits at San Diego and Acapulco, and assures adherence to the mail contract while addressing perceived delays and boundary duties with Mexican ports and San Blas.

Universal Yankee Nation reports new steam scows at Pleasant Valley
The Alta California notes two steam scows launched at Pleasant Valley named Hope and Bowery, built by New York firms led by Captains Perine and Hyatt. The vessels use dredging buckets and washing machines to operate in shallow water, aiming to work rivers and tributaries, with crews from skilled New York mechanics. Also reported is the loss overboard of Joseph Ruight Jr. from the brig Paulene, a Vermont father, aged twenty-two, near La Pilate.
