A GooD CHANCE.-It appears that New orleans
is not likely to be behind other cities III The num-
Der or character of those whom 1t Will furnish to
swell the tide of California emigration. We heard
Yesterday of an association about being formed in
this city for the purpose Of proceeding to California
The number to which it is contemplated TO limit
the company is sixty. According TO the plan, half
of those are to be mechanics and practical men,
who are to furnish merely enough for their personal
expenses. The remaining thirty shares are to be
distributed among the number OF persons,
each Of whom is to advance $1,000 in money or
merchandise suited to the California market. In
this manner all the machinery and other articles
necessary for carrying on mining operations are to
be provided The profits arising from the trans
actions of the association to be equitably d.
yided among the sixty shareholders. The party
will start as soon as the requisite arrangements can
be completed. This we think good chance for
a profitable investment as we have heard of lately,
and from the high character of some of those we
know TO be engaged-embracing some of our most
respectable ctizens-we think there is every pros
pect of a successful result Those who desire TO
become members Of the association, can apply to
Mr.. Hoard at the Louisiana Hotel for particulars.

We notice that this gentleman announces his name
for benefit tomorrow night He came among
stranger, except by report, but during his term
of management has won for himself hosts of friends,
who admire his talents as literary man, his So
ciable qualities in private life, and his interchangeable
and welldireced efforts in the conduct of affairs
