thousand friends (upon the Atlantic as
well as the golden side of the continent,)

land of promise, from the old and frozen
regions of the North, and now considers
himself permanently situated in San Fran
cisco-the most lovely and beautiful spot
upon the face of the. earth. we would
therefore Inform those who have SO long
and earnestly entreated him to give them
in addition to his great variety OF pastry,
delicious tea and coffee, baked pork and
beans, ham, &c., little more variety OF
the slbstantals for the inner man; such
as steaks, soups, oysters, buckwheat and
Indian Cakes. That agreeable to their
wishes, and to redeem the pledge he gave
them previous to hisIeaving for the States,
he has enlarged his saloon to nearly
double its former size, and that every
thing is now ready to satisfy the most
voracious, or delicate appetite, supplied
at the table from SIX O'Clock in the morn

To those who have visited this pace
but once, and tasted of the good things
there to he had, he deems it unnecessary
to say more than that every thing about
the cuncern will be conducted upon the
same principal of neatness, quality and
liberality which has been so highly APP
proved of, and which is peculiarly his
own, and to those who are strangers in
the city, he would say, try for yourselves.
