Mr. WALTER Your paper, which have the plea
sure to receive regularly by mall has ably advocated
Woman's Rights, and has exercised considerable in
huence here. Reading the val ous articles from your
own pen and that of your correspondents in relation
to this matter, operates stimulus TO any previ-
otlsly formed opinions. undertook 10 draft n law
to allow married women the right to hold property
in their name, 10 transact business independent
of their husbands, aud in fact, to allow them 10 be
pecuniarily no worse of Gier they are married than
they were when single.
The Legislature in session, and found no
great difficulty in gaining few friends 10 the bill,
and have now the qualification to announce that
California is one of the few States which have done
away with the civil may say unciyl-disabiliIies
of married women.
| have two reasons for desiring notice Of this
matter in your paper. First, because in justice TO
you 1 wish il made known that your articles tended
10 direct me MOST particularly to this matter and
secondly, because tre loant more icomen here, and
hone that the freedom here offered for them will act
ms n considerable nducemeut To their immigration.
Writing on the subject Of general improvement Of
our social relations, also take pleasure in informing
Won of the progress OF The cause OF Temperance in
San Francisco, and California at large. We have

to be 5000 Mohanmedous,W whose parents, not hem

Mohammedons in the Greek revolution, TO save their
lives. and they have secretly maintained, together
with an external performance of Mussulman rites,
all the forms of Greek Christianity. The freedom
of conscience secured by Sit Stratiord Canning, has
christianity. The Greek clergy decided that they
might do so, by doing certain specified acts of pen

What blessing it is for rogue TO have some

to have fine coat and gentcel appearance, and to
be acquainted with the "property and standing" We
have seen man sentenced to three years imprison-
ment for steaing half barrel of sugar. True, il was
a SECOND offence and law. Then he wore
ragged coat, and his face wore darker hue than the
lily fingered gentry around him, and who cared for
him! Nobody of course. "Shut up the Niger who
cares for him ?" is the language of all "respecahle
people," We have seen pale careworn faces confn-
ed to prison for an equa length of time, for offences
scarcely greater, aud where we knep that rant drOue

The clip of Wool in the Western States this year'
it is estimated will exceed that of 1851 about fifteen
per cent In Ohio alone the clip will be about H.
100000 ofpounds. Australia has heretofore been
great wool -growing country, and large shipments
have been made annually 10 Great Britain. Tbs
year the receipts of wool in England from Australia
are likely TO be much smaller than usual, in
quence of the excitement caused by the productions
of gold dust and the scarcity Of lahorers in agricu
tura pursuits. This may have favorable Influence
upon the prices of wool in this country and on prices
