ses the captain of the Angelique with

that were felt by women who consulted
me, was the fear that they should not be pro
tected against rudenesss, or perhaps some
thing worse / reasoned then that it
would not be so, but it was difficult to con
vince by arguement Therefore, let the
fact be known to all who care to know it
I that the utmost possible Difference and
care are shown to females; and any wo-
man. to experience rudeness or insult
here, must expose herself much more i'm
prudently than she would to incur the
same risk in your cities. No woman need
fear to come here who has the sense and
energy to take care of herself clswhere !;
and She will have, in her capacity for any
occupation suited TO her sex, better cap
ital than the gold Of the mines. If there
had 900 females sailed last May, they
would. all who chose to, be proftably en-
ployed this day Every thing Is searcer

time he was just recovering from a combi-
nation of California colaplaints, having a
severe cold dysentery, Intermittent fever,
Sc, which had brog4ht BIN to the verge of
the grave. Speaking of the necessity of
money to a man in California, Mr. Me
CLUBE says:
i can assure you, that a man without
money here had better be in hill There
are thousands here to-day who have moth
ing to do, and it costs from ) to S25 day
to live, and if one is taken sick without
money or friends, he cannot pay, and is We
ry sure to die"
As faint idea of the enormous prices
of living and medicine, A1r. McCLURE gives
the following From the physicians char
ges, we think that members of the medi-
cal profession carry out-"down with the

they see the hazard they run to obtain it,
they deeply regret that they ever left home

them return without striking blow-and
others (but very few, however, are lucky,
but to one lucky one there are fire hlnt-
