SAN FRANCISCO. —Madame Ida Pfeiffer thus writes
of St. Francisco, under date October 30, 1853 :—" The
city of Francisco certainly ranges with the great wonders
of the world, but it is not a wonder to charm or en-
chant. No less than six times in the course of five years
it was destroyed by fire, yet it looks as magnificent as if
it had never suffered by that element. It lies mostly on
sand-hills, which are covered with houses and huts up tc
their summits. The centre of the city consists of an
artificial piece of tolerably flat ground, produced by fill
ing up the bay with sand to the extent of one-third of
an English mile. Here you would see a bustle as in the
city of the English metropolis—where is a driving, rid
' running, a haste and hurry as in a disturbed ant-
hill. Houses of brick are built in an incredibly short
time, so that streets are often not recognised after a
month or two. While in the luxury and splendour
which is to be seen in the interior of the houses, San
Francisco rivals London and Paris—the filth without
and
the state of the streets generally far exceed Con-
stantinople. These, forming as they do the common
receptacle for all kinds of rubbish and filth, are, In the
first instance, covered with a layer of dust and sand,
upon which may be seen heaps of broken boxes and
casks, crockery and bottles, cast-off cloth, linen and old
shoes, together with the dead bodies of dogs and rats.
To walk through the streets is a punishment, and to
extend your walk to the country around so much an
additional punishment--your legs soon becoming fa-
tigued by the deep sand, and your eyes not the less so
by viewing the monotonous dreary landscape. The bay,
it must be owned, is fine, and imposing by the great
number of vessels from all parts of the world ; to which
