will be the destiny of San Franc T Must it share
the fate of the smaller laces? We think not. San
Fran/limo is the New York of the Pude'. It is the
only large commercial city on that side of the mg-
nest. For many years it can bars no rival. It lamed
favourably situated for supplying every portion of the
region west of the Rooky Mountaina, and has already
the trade of the NORIO coast in Its hande. We see no
reason why it should not hold substantially the same re.

of California, &object only to the duties which the
British Government may impose upon imports. The
supplies for the use of the miners must and do go from
San Francisco, and they can be derived from that port
more advantageously than from any other. The only
point which is mentioned as a possible rival in this trade
Is Victoria, • British town of small aim, and trading
post of the Hudson's Bay Company, situated on the
southern extremity of Vancouver's Wand. It is nearly
opposite the month of Fraser River, which falls Into the
Gulf of Georgia, separating Vancouver's Island from the

ackalli, as will be seen, of the line dividing our territory

falling within the limita of Washington territory. It is
the expectation of the English eventually to make this
an important town, and the centre of their common

receive • strong impetus from the recent gold discoveriee.

It wee so even in the Use of San Francisco, the marvel
of whose growth is not likely to be repeated west of the

new gold excitement.— New York Time..
