THE PACIFIC MAIL COMPANY.

The delay in the sailing of the City of San Fran* cisco, mail steamer, before the City of New York, is thus accounted for by the ‘ Alta California’ of April B: —Jay Gould, who, for some time past has held a largo interest in the company, became so dissatisfied with the administration of affairs at the head office that he determined upon a radical change. To bring this about it became necessary that he should get a majority of the stock in his own naiho. This ho accomplished by buying out Bussell Sago. • From that moment an energetic administration of affairs set in, which has been perceptible here in a number of changes and removals. The difficulty about the departure of the t ityof San Francisco arises from a totally different cause to that which has been assigned. By the terras of the contract,! Macgregor and Elder were to supply two ships and the Pacific Mail Company three, and the seivice was to commence at a certain specified date, or subject the contractors to heavy penalties. The Pacific Moil Company Lithfnlly performed its part of the contract, but- Macgregor and 'Elder failed to perform theirs, the two ships debp itched by them to the Colonies having arrived two months beyond the stipulated time. The penalty for this failure the. Governments named seek to stop out of the subsidy already earned by the Pacific Mail Company. Hence a difficulty has arisen, which is at this moment the subject of telegraphic correspondence between the Mail Com* pauy, Messrs Macgregor and Elder, and the New doiith Wales and New Zealand Governments, and hence the delay in the sailing of the City of San Francisco. During the past few days telegraphic orders have been received from New York, making several important changes here. It is understood that Mir A. P. Bacon, the agent at this port, has the entire confidence of Mr Gould, and that nis administration ot the agency has been approved. The fob lowing captains have been served with notice that they will be relieved, namely, Messrs Tanner, Seorle, Lachlan, Howard, Connelly, Phillip, and Dow; The following captains have been confirmed in their respective commands, viz.:—Maury, Waddell, Cobb, Scabury, Morse, Dearborn, Shackfprd, Caverly, and Nolan. The appointment of Captain James J. Waddell has been under review in the New York office, and results in his being.'confirmed in the command of the City of-3an Francisco. This was probably due to his being endorsed by ViceAdmiral Eowan, Commodore Parker, Commodore Shufeldt, and other prominent officers in the United States Navy. Snob weighty influence, together with the record of his trip to this port in the City of San probably determined the matter. ; SHIPPING TELEGEAMS . . Lyttelton, {June 3.
