weather was very pleasant and very warm until we
passed Cape St Lucas, after which the weather was
cooler and sea rorgher, and tho only rain was the
fsth of San Diego, until we reached this harbor
where we were met BY regular California winter
rain storm. On the passage saw great numbers
Whales, Black fish and other curious animals that
inhabit the ocean. The steamer touched at AGA.
pulco, San Bias, MazatIan, Mexican ports, and at
San Diego and Monterey in Upper California. Aca-
puico has the finest and most beautiful arbor ever
saw; it is miles long and 10 broad, completely
surrounded by high range Of hills, and when OPP
posie the town. there is nos break IN the hills TO-
indicate the approach from the ocean. North of
the town point projects towards the entrance on
which fart is erected. The town ha shut few good
houses, they are all low, being subject to earth
quakes. The market was we'll supplied with meat
and vegetables snch Onions, Tomatoes, Melons,
Vans, &C., and fruits Oranges, LINES, Bananas,
Pantain,P Pine Apple, aud numerous varieties which

PROPER TINE TO KIIL AYrMAr.s.-It
has lately been discovered BY French
Chemist that the flesh OF animals, which
are killed in the latter part of the night,
will keep much longer without sailing,
Than i, will when they are killed in the day
time. This proves that the flesh is hetter
fitted for Keeping, when the life and blood
as taken from the animal. at the time the
temperature is the lowest. and The respira.
lion IS the least active. Hence the reason
that the flesh from the animals that have
been highly heated or hard driven, will
scarcely keep at all.
