twice or thrice as many people are now
leaving here BY steamer as are arriving,

checked, every interest on this, Coast will
become seriously injured, if not absolutely
paralyzed. Whether it is the fact that
everything in California and her sister
States and Territories is in the hands Of
vast monopolies, making travelling by
river, on land, or coastwise, enormously
expensive, farming on small scale in
really favored localities impossible, from
the fact that the land is all absorbed in
great Spanish grants, or the titles so un-
sound that investments are unsafe, that
individual labor stands no show any
longer in the field since everything is in
the hands of large capitalists and monster

and vicious, that educational establish

too high, or what it is that drives these
people away from our shores / cannot say,
but it is evident that there is screw loose

their treasure in steady golden and silver

able to work it; we are at peace, laws are
regularly administered in nearly all local.
ties, our climate is beyond comparison
with anything to BE- found on the other
side of the Rocky Mountains, and con-
s,dering the cost of living here and at the
East, wages are far higher here than there.

depressed here, for the moment, from the
lack of the same currency, and the driving
away of more or less Eastern capital in
consequence of our laws on the subject
of money, which operate against US rather
than for us; but this will not account
FOR such rush away from here, into the
regions where drafts, greenbacks, high
prices, cold winters and q constant appre-
tension of civil war and foreign invasion

THE MEXICAN PASSPORT ORDER.
The order of Gen. Mcdowell, requiring
all parties leaving this country for Next

the oath of allegiance, and prove incon-
testbly the peaceful character of their
business, and obtain a permit from the
Provost Marshal to embark; and if aliens,
to obtain passports and have them regis
tered with the Provost Marshal in the
same manner as they would be obliged to
do in Europe. is blow direct at the pro-

plotters of mischief and would-be subjects
of the Duke de Gwin in California.
Whether it will secure the object designed,
and seriously embarrass the operations OF
the indictments, who are undoubtedly
plotting mischief against US in the lower
country, or NOT, remains to be seen; but,
at any rate. it can do no harm, and loyal
citizens will make no objection to 1t. The

outrage on human liberty and the rights
of men, constitutional government, etc.,

impotent rage. If trouble is to come at

steps are taken to accomplish the object

THE HERON.
Since my last Mrs. Matilda Heron
Stoepel has appeared as "Medea," Obi
anchi, or the Italian Wife," and "Ga-
mea, or the Jewish Mother" The thea
tire has on every occasion been densely
filed, and the unanimous verdict is, be-
ieve, in favor Of the great talent of the
actress. She is, however, to speak plain
", neither beautiful In features, graceful
in form, or possessed Of the charm OF
youth, and the impression left on the mind
after witnessing her representations Is al
ways of the disagreeable nightmare order.
As Bianchi," she carried the feelings Of
the audience with her to but limited ex-
tent, and could not get over the idea that
she is descendant of Marryatt's sea cap
tain who "had the death-rattle in his
throat for three years, and then recovered
entirely" She has q way Of chuckhng
in her throat, and producing haf-sup-
pressed, discordant, spluttering noise, like
that made by haH-drowned person en-
deavoring to expel the water from his
lungs, when she attempts to counterfeit
any emotion, which is excessively loath-
some and sickening in the extreme. Taken
all in all, however, she is at this day an
infinitely better actress than Mrs. Keane.
