 hind those rugged hills, a cooling breeze comes over the blue waters of the Gulf, the sky is tinged with those brilliant verigated colors so peculiar to southern cline, and it is decidedly the most pleasant portion of the day. The grand street than assumes more lively appear ance parties of ladies and gentlemen are out promenading They have no public amuse- ments, and but very few private parties or balls. After 10 in the evening, the streets are desert ed, except by the patrol or the solitary strag- gler The principal part of the town is lighted at night, and strong police force kept in the streets The policemen are armed with guns and lanterns, the latter the most dangerous weapon, as is generally supposed. During the night the police walk about and cry every half hour-"Hail Mary, full of grace it is serene" The people of Guaymas (in peaceable times) if not polite to strangers, are at least not hos tile, which is much in their favor. There are times, however when Gunymas is no place for eigners, especially Americans. "t There are several hotels with pretty good fare considering the difficulty of obtaining veg etables Sleeping accomodations you furnish yourself The best plan of living is to rent rocm, furnished with few necessary articles, which will cost about $20 per month. -l Guaymas in a commercial point of view is the most important place in Sonora, and is the only seaport open to foreign trade, which is far more extensive than is generally supposed The whole commerce is concentrated in the hands of few persons, and they, with few government officers and owners of estates, com. pose the arstocracy of the country. The irl- porting business, as it is managed at present, requires large capital, as goods are chiefly bought in Europe, and eighteen months or two years is often lost between the shipment and sale. The chief imports are English and French dry goods, and groceries, common cotton fab rics, &c., from San Francisco.
 The chief article of agriculture shipped from Guaymas is an excellent article of flour there is no other farming produce to ship and even much of this cannot be exported, on account of the great distance from the agricultural re- gions to the port and the difficulties of trans portation. But the principal resources of this department are it's mines and placers ofgold, silver, and copper. Several millions of silver are annually shipped to Europe, and great deal to the United States, notwithstanding the ruin and abandonment of many mines which formerly yielded six or eight millions yearly.
 The papers in the States should be very care ful how they advise Americans to go to Sonora. There is nothing to be done here by a poor man, at least not at present; although the country contains great mineral wealth. Capi- tai and scientific miners and smelters are want ed here as well as in Arizona.
 Guaymas can boast of great many young ladies, agreeable in their manners, so far as I can judge The dress of the ladies is plain, fashionable and elegant Bonnets are not used, and as the ladies go out in the air only about sunset their long raven tresseS show to great advantage, accompanied, as they generally are, by pair of lustrous black eyes and brilliant teeth The bettel class of gentlemen dress of late, in European style"
