Movements for California

FROM NEW YORK

The new brig Sarah McFarland sails this morning for San Francisco, having on board the members of the Pacific Adventurer’s Association, passengers and crew.
Of all the companies who have sailed from this port, we know of none that has been better organized, or is composed of stauncher men, as the party who sail in the Sarah McFarland. The president of the Association, F. C. Bennett, Esq., is a gentleman of excellent business habits, general intelligence, and one who is admirably fitted to carry out triumphantly the objects of the company; and the physician, Dr. Hatch, stands high in his profession, and all the officers of the Association are young men of good standing and sterling ability.
Mr. Fenno, the popular tragedian, is a member of the Association; and if energy of character, intelligence and industry are of value, he will aid materially in the success of the enterprise.
The Association are owners of three-fourths of the vessel, and charter the other fourth; they have three years provisions, mining utensils, gold washers, assay machines, and every other article necessary for their purpose. Among the members are blacksmiths, carpenters, assayers, some old trappers, and an experienced minor from England.
Capt. W.T. Richardson, the able commander, has twice doubled the Horn, and is admirably seconded by Capt. Allen, who has consented to act as mate; they will make as short a passage as any on record.
Below are the names of the Association. We wish them a prosperous voyage, large profits and a safe return. --
