cvada Hotel, which, OF itself, is sufficient to
arrant us in saying 1t were sufficient to

illiamson's Assembly Room, at which
ace large number Of persons-ladics

DECREASE Oh, CRIME.--The great dc
crease of crime in our city of late, is the
subject of general remark. Not only
has rampant crime, which once reared
its head so boldly in our midst, ceased
its outrages, but even offenses Of mi.
nor grade have greatly diminished. =
No better test of this can be found than
the number Of arrests made on Satur.
day and Sunday. Usually they range
frsm ten to twenty, but Yesterday and
tho day before thero was not one Oul
city now is as quiet and orderly as the
most staid and sober of the Eastern

FROM PUGEr's SOUND We learn from
the commander of the brig Franklin
Adams, which arrived at this port yes.
terday, that large numbers Of emigrants
rom Columbia river, and across the
plains, are daily arriving at Pugets
Sound. Tho Indian guides report that
there are now 5000 persons on their
way to that place. The settlers arc
clearing q wagon road to accommodate
the emigration, and many have gone to
meet them. By letters received from
persons on the road, it is estimated that
no less than 5000 will reach thesSound

MUsIc.-Ncvada and its vicinity appear
to be peculiarly blessed with the various
sources Of amusement at present within our
reach. Not the least among these is to be
found in the musical talent presented by
Mrs. Randolph, who is now stopping at the
Gregory House, and who, as will be seen
by an advertisement in another column, Of
fcrs her services as teacher of the art on tho
Piano. From what we have witnessed of
her performances, she is doubtless complete
master Of her profession, and would recon-
mend any ono who wishes to receive instruc-
tioHs on that most accomplishing instrument
at least to call and see her. Young lidies,
in particular, should avail themselves of this
opportunity to acquire knowledge of mu-
sic. as they may in all probability, spend a
lifetime, without meeting with another
chance presenting as many advantages. Be-
sides being thoroughly acquainted with her
profession, Mrs. Randolph will be found
quite agreeable to those who may have busi-
ness with her in her profession. She is
moreover good singer which adds much
to the encbantmcnt Of her music.
