The OutpourIng TO Cal,fornia.


We understand that about seven million feet Of
timber, including frames, mas been and is shipping
for San Francisco, which is considered but drop
In the bucket to what will be required for one hun
drtd to one hundred and fifty thousand persons
who are there this year. BY the "Crescent City,"
letters from responsible houses have been received,
saying that lumber WILDE required, and must pay
high profit. Bricks will not be worth less than
sixty dollars per thousand, for many years; all
other building materials will be wanted, and me-
chanics will have their own price. Mr.. Larkin has
sent to the United States for material for block
of warehouses; He Is cons! dered the richest man
there, and is said TO be worth several millions.
Many vessels must, tor the present, be used as
warehouses. Coal was worth sixty dollars per
ton, at which rate five hundred tons were sold to
the steamers, as men could net be procured or re-
he'd upon TO mine 1t up the coast. Flour in ,lf
barrels, for transportation, of approved brands,
which will! stand the voyage and climate, will pay
well, and is worth more than the coast flour, which
Is in bags, and will not keep bear transportation.
Provisions, properly put up will be wanted pre-
served meats, in Tin canlsters of two pounds each,
sold Tor seven dollars per pound, to take to the
mines! Clothing, &c, made up, sold well but
materials 10 make up were unsaleable, for want of
makers. Articles of luxury, especially In eating
and drinking, sell at high prices, to persons with
ounces of gold. The population increasing so fast
by immigration will require large supply Of all the
necessaIies OF life and all the Emotions of Yam
kee land, of email value bid fair to pay great pro-
interest, and relieve the general dulness IN this
summers business.
The number Of vessels which have left the United
States, mostly the Northern ports, to this tune,
cannot be much short OF two hundred in ALL Ii
would be desirable 10 have regular table of ex-
ports to California published weekly that mer-
chants and ship owners Judge of the quantities
shipped, &C.
We understand our old friends, Macondry 81 Co.,
leave here on Monday next, and from New York
in the next steamer, Both inst, for California, via
Chagres, DC. They go well provided with facili-
ties 10 make remlttances by drafts oh Messrs. Bar.
ing Brothers a. Co., and on their agents here and
others. From the we'll known reputation of Capt.
NJ, we doubt not he will have large share of New
England business on commission.
We learn that there some ten or twelve YES
sells from one hundred TO seven hundred tons, now
loading for California. Also, that one ship in Sd
lem sails soon, with all her crew and passengers
composed OF masters of vessels, who go out at
twenty cents per month wages. Some vessels take
raj vessels pay no wages at all to the crews, Jack
wages and time.
The fine ship Oxnard, Capt Cole, cleared this
forenoon Tor San Francisco. She has twenty
seven passengers, and very large assorted cargo,
among which are the frames ana 6stnres of twenty
five houses Boston Journal, June 23.
The Vineyard Gdsette says, that the owners Of
great ubanlmIty, to send her to California. She
will go ont under the command Of Captain James
Flther, an old and experienced whaleman. The
TIsbUIy people are now building vessel tor Cali
foinia, and the CbiInarkers will have brig of
their own. ii they cannot euba rk in the S,Lrndid
