things are considered-frst, the very excellent

favored, and which must have cost the ladies and

1t is not my object to speak Of this lady or that
gentleman, who executed very difficult parts In the
solos, Duets, &c, of the occasion, but to say that
the music was indeed delightful, and which will
very well bear a repetition which I understand is
to take place In the + Street Church at an early
day, and which will give those who were not able
to 30 on the excursion an opportunity to aid by
their presence and the small sum of twenty-five
cents in so very laudable an Object II.

NEW ORLEANS, July 26.--The steamer Orizabs
has arrived with later intelligence from Mexico.
A dreadful storm had occurred at San Bias and
Mazatlan on the lst Of June, accompanied by an
awful destruction of life and property. Six ves-
sells were totally wrecked and thirty lives lost at
Mazatlan. The loss Of property Is estimated at
one million and hale of dollars. Captain Plum

The villages in the oaks.

Three more beautiful villages than Oakland,
Clinton and Alameda, that lie empowered in the
oaks over the Bay, cannot be found in the State.
We ought, perhaps, to apologize to cur Oakland
friends, for calling their place village ftaspres
to the dignity of a town. It has municipal gov
ernment and rejoices In the possession of real
Aldermen. It has commodious wharf. and
others projected-fne wide streets, that require
no gradng-shady sidewaiks--several very neat
Churches multitude Of charming cottage resi-
dencee, almost concealed by the evergreen oaks
that surround them, and set off by gardens where
in flourish thousand lovely towers In fact, the
town offers in perfection that enjoyment SO eagerly
sought by the devotee to business city life in
the country. Many whose business calls them to
San Francisco have built up beautiful houses in the
Oaks, located their families, and cross and re-cross
every day on the ferry-boat. Rents are very low
just now in and around Oakland. Handsome resi-
dences, with spacious grounds attached, can be
obtained for thirty-fve or forty dollars a month.
Many more would make their homes in that quar-
ter II it not for the rreEularity of the boats
running across the bay. This irreguarity Is occa.
stoned by the bar that has formed opposite the
mouth Of the creek. At low water the steamer
Clinton cannot cross it, and SO is compelled to
change, to some extent, her hours of departure to
suit the ebb and flow Of the tide This is fruitful
source of vexation and complaint, and operates as
serious drawback to the prosperity Of our trane.
Bayan neighbors
They propose, however to obviate this difficulty
by dredging a passage through the bar that will
enpble the boats to at all stages of the tide
and to this end endeavoring to raise subscrip
ton of ten thousand dollars, which it is believed
will be sufficient for the purpose. The Oaklanders
are suffering just now from the general stagnation
of business that has afflicted US for some time past
Their Improvement, however, is certain. They
have one of the most beautiful sites for rural
town in the State. Nothing can be more attractive
than the outrageous evergreen oaks that cover
the country for miles round, while just back Of
them stretches magnificent country, fertile as
garden, dotted with comfortable farm houses, and
covered, at present. with luxuriant crops. When
San Francisco has become New York, Oakland
will be more than Brooklyn.-iSan Francisco
