inst, having made, it is said, the quickest trip on
record.
The steamship Alabama arrived the same day
from the same port. We clip the following items
of interest, gathered by exchanges.
From the Alta California, published at San
Francisco: ---.
Populafion.--Our streets present q busy and
populous appearance. In the business portion OF
town the highways so thronged with drays,
wagons, and people, that it is sometimes difficult
to push way through the crowd. The population
has increased more than one hundred per cent.
within the last three months, and the new business
establishments have increased in a still greater
ratio.
The Public HealM--The general health of the
5000 inhabitants of San Francisco, is good. Re.
Gently some deaths have occurred from diarrhoea
and dysentery, and many are now suffering from
one the other Of these Diseases but the sickness
is abatng. Somo solicitude is felt in regard tc
cholera and shipfever but the general opinion is
that none of these diseases can spread in such a
climate as this. although it is highly probable thai
. out of 10 cases would prove fatal.
HOspHdbie.-Several large and well arranged
hospitals are now established in the CITY. 1t is
very gratifying to know that the afflicted are moi
Likely to suffer for want of proper medical atten
dance and care.
arrests, Trial, and Erecution.--A letter from
the following Information
50 This afternoon man was hung in Stockton
His name was Mickey alias Bill Lyon. and hi
belonged to the fraternity of .'Hounds," who ha
so long prowled about an1 disturbed the peace
His offence was burglary and theft, and his tria
was by jury--his sentence death by hanging. III
scas erecuted Nth the unanimous opproUal of lii
people of Stockton.
"a number of men, implicated in offence.
committed by the same gang, have been arrested
and their trial will soon take place. The prompt
action of our citizens in these matters has restored
law and order to the place, and we feel more Sc
cure now than we have for six months past''
Later advices confirm the above account, anc
add that one or more others convicted, were pu
nished with rigid observance of the ba rba rous
forms of Judge Lynch such as shaving the head
topping the ears, and other dsgracefuI mutiIations
of the person. 1t is to be hoped that these latter
reports were not well founded.
Advices from Stockton furnish intelligence o
another execution. The notorious Red Davis
or "Old Red" alias Davis, was captured in Santa
Clara, taken TO Stockton, and hung u few day:
since.
Successful Gold Digging.-Dr. II. Vandyke
n member of the North Fork Dam and Minins
Association. which company has recently com
pleted literal canal at Beal's Bar, little above
the juncture Of the North Fork with the Ric
Americana, has just returned from their scene O.
operations. The work Of drainage had been com
pleted only three days before he left, and though
the company labored under many disadvantag ges
they had raised in this short time over SIS 900
This association is composed Of about thirty hard
working men, and from the result of the few da vs.
labor since drainage, and the fine prospects o
continued success, they confidently count upon
yield OF about ten ounces per diem, each man
during the next and succeeding month.
