Movements for California.
NEW YORK.

Ship Memnon, Capt. Gordon.-- This splendid clipper built ship left on the 11th inst., for San Francisco, with fourteen passengers. She is 1,085 tons burden, and one of the most magnificent vessels out of this port. Accommodations were fitted up for eighty passengers, but in consequence of the high price of passage. She had few passengers – the annexed is a list:--

Carpenter, Walter, Brooklyn
Condon, William, Halifax, N.S.
Cowham, William, NY
Dean, Aaron, Stamford, CT
Dimon, J.S., NY
Elkins, John, NY
Glover, A.B., NY
Gordon, Mrs. Joseph R., Boston
Hunter, P. Schuyler, Sandy Hill
Hunter, Robert E., Sandy Hill
Jackson, Thos. H., Brooklyn
Norris, Wm. Hunt, Newark
Toole, Thomas, Sandy Hill
Wilkins, Miss, NY

“Among the passengers we notice Messrs. R.E. & P. Schuyler Hunter, sons of Col. R.R. Hunter, young men of the highest talent. With the energy and enterprise they possess they will become prominent and useful citizens of San Francisco, where they contemplate a permanent residence. Individuals of such character are valuable acquisitions to a new country, and California must soon become a place of great importance, with a population composed of such materials.”
