turn from California, that partakes OF
the spirit, hustle and life peculiar to
California. 1t is all excitement and
motion. The tide Of people swarming
up and down Broadway, and the other
great avenues, is immense. New York
city is a word in miniature. Here are
poverty and wealth-luxury and grind
ing want-ignorance and intelligence
virtue and vice, and every thing within
the range of human development, with
its extremes. At every turn and COR
ner, one is beset with beggars with
most doleful looks and pitiful tales of
hu- ger, suffering and want. 1t is hard
to resist their appeals, and premium
on Incidence and deception to respond
to their calls. The municipal author
tiles should put a stop to it at once, and
provide means to employ every beggar
capable of labor, and those unable to
work be cared for. | trust that govern
ment, at no very distant period, will
feel that it has something more 10 do
than merely to keep the navy and army
equipped, maintain legislatures, courts
of justice and executive officers, and con-
struct prisons and poor houses There
are men and women, from causes over
which ut present they have no control,
cannot OBTAIN employment, and are des-
ttate of capacity to employ themselves,
in pursuits of legitimate industry. These
must live in their opinion, and hence
resort to theft, beggary, and other i'm
proper means to keep from divorce soul
and body. Now if the government would
furnish employment to such, rot as cri-
minas or outcasts but Us unfortunate
poor, crime would diminish very rapidly,
by the conversion of the worthless into
productive citizens. If this city would
displace her 5000 grog shops and raise
100 houses or shops for the employment
of the destitute, at very moderate wages
even, the outlay would ultimately be
saved to the city by the reduced taxes.
New York will eventually be forced to
adopt some measure of this kind, or it
is destined to become the most vicious
and beggarly city upon this great store
house of sin, suffering, folly and crime,
called earth
Rents for the past four years have
risen from twenty five to fifty per cent
Places of amusement have increased Sc.

Four years since, two or three theatres
and operas could be but nigardly sus-

and other theatres of lesser note --seve-
raj operas, museums, ampitheatres, and
concerts without number, are not only
sustained but literally patronized. All
admit that this is the result Of the pro-
duet of our Placers yet our government
is slow to acknowledge the claims of our
State, and fear another session will oe

visions for our wants. The rush to
the land Of gold is very great, and
from appearances, it will not abate
for months. The general impression is
that there will be large overland emf

Kossuth is now in Cincinnati, exciting
the people in behalf of the claims Of
Hungary. Wherever he goes the peo-
pie are stimulated to most intense ex-
citement. He is man of uncommon
eloquence and enthusiasm. which blend

ness and tact, gives him control over
men unsurpassed in the history Of great
men, of ancient or modern times. That
the Juror which attends him is the re-
suit of his presence and personal infiu-

is always reaction, and that not in his
favor, after he leaves a given place.

jeopardized. When the people of Europe
want freedom they will have it. Ty-
rants will be to them as chaff before the
wind. "Who would be free, then selves
must strike the blow" the poet has it,
and so has common sense. The clergy
have all at once become quite patriotic.
