only !, 033 left-leaving a balance in our favor Of 6,079.
The statistics of children show total arrivals during the
year OF /, s26, and departures of 4s6-leavipg a balance
in our favor OF 1870. A gratifying feature in these
results is that while the departure of males ia so per

general conclusion to be deduced from which is the de-
sirable fact of a gradual tendency towards an equaliza-

our population in children, is from the Atlantic States

male population, for two. thirds Of which we are indebt-
ed to China. Summing up the above figure, we find a
departure Of %, 5oS-leaving q balance in our favor of

Bull FIGHTS IN SAN DIEGo.-Fromt the following notice,
which we find in TIE San Diego Herald Of the 30.h Dec,
We should judge that the ridiculous custom OF bull
fighting was being GRO sdsd out by moro intellectual
amusemen.s; and when that .Swo becomes thoroughly
forgotten The past three weeks have been devoted, al
most exclusively, by the citizens Of san Diego, to amuse-
ments. Bull fighting was the first on the carpet. For a
whole week, the approaches to the public plaza were
fenced up, and q dozen tame bulls, with their horns
sawed oil, were chased round the enclosure by white and
black hon'bres on horseback, and occasi onally . drum zen
soldier or 'greasaro on foot. The only damage dons TO
man or BEAST was one drunken fellow getting kicked
over in endeayoriDg to hold a bull by the tail.

that there is every reason to believe that the hidden
TACT tua, pirates did seize a large amount OF treasare in
the vicinity OF the island; and it l. a supposed fact that
they buried it some where ci.se to where they took 1t,
Surprising both facts to be facts, We have no doubt that
the morey may be had by digging for IL; but It may be a
question whether or not the parties concerned ~mlghtset
