a pioneer of California and member of

evening.
The entire medical faculty Of the
University of California have resigned,
owing to the failure Of DR.. Toland to
convey to the Board Of Regents the
title to the Toland Medical College
property, as first proposed by him;
whereupon the Regents amended the
record and adopted resolutions as fol-
lows:
Resolred, That the Regents of the
University will establish a Board to
be known as the "Board of Medical
Examiners of the University Of Cali
fo~rnia," and will annually appoint
members of said Board, whose duty it
shall be to examine all students apply
ing for medical diplomas from medical
colleges of the Pacific States and Ter
ritories.
Resolred, That the Regents of the
University will confer degrees upon
such students Of medicine as may be
recommended therefor by the faculty
of their respective colleges, and whom
the Board of Medical Examiners shall
report entitled thereto, and upon none
others. tSignedl

Ben. Holiday and w. l.. Halsey
sailed for Portland IN the 0riaaninae
this morning. Mr.. Holiday has just
concluded a contract with julius
Vogel, Postmaster General Of New
Zealand, for running n line Of mail
steamers every few weeks between San
Francisco, New Zealand, Sydney and
Melbourne. The contract provides for
large ships and Of speed, to enable the
mails between Sydney and London to
be delivered In forty-elght days. The
pioneer ship is to sail from San Fran
cisco on the sth Of April. The mail
contract by Halls line ends this month.
The Necadd, Nebraska and one other
steamship, probably the Dakota, will
be the first vessels employed. The
new line is thus to DO inaugurated on
a first-class basis. Even with the COM
paratively inferior vessels employed
before, the amount Of Australian and
New Zealand travel through our port
has been large, and Is doubtless des-
tined to increase and grow to formida-
BILE proportions. Our route Is by all
odds the most pleasant, and the trip
can be made cheaper than by the Eng
fish steamers. In place Of the stormy
Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, we offer
the traveller the usually calmer Pacific
| Ocean, seven days Of land travel by
the great Transcontinental Rail-
road, and the passage OF tho Atlantic
by some of the best steamships afloat.
The opportunity of seeing something
| of the United States will alone be a
great inducement to travel this way.
1t is presumable that the next steamer
to New Zealand and Australia will
leave ut the regular time-about tho
18th instant-after which the service
will be every twenty-sight days, thir-
teen trips per annum. Arrangements
will be made to alternate with the
steamers of the Peninsula and Oriental
steamship line. Mr.. Holiday has also
perfected arrangements for forwarding
fifty thousand German emigrants to
Oregon to settle on lands Of the Oregon
and California Railroad Company.
A line Of steamers will be run direct
from Bremen to A~spinwall, connecting
with a new and independent line to be
established between Panama, San
Francisco and Portland, the organiza-
ton of which is about completed.
Passengers will be landed In Oregon
from Bremen at a cost not exceeding
$40.

Patrick O'Neil waived examination
this morning on charge Of grand lar
ceuy-taking a watch from a country
man-and sent to the County Court.
John Prescott, the ~jolllest thief in
the city, who Is now under sentence
for six months in the county Jail, but,
rs he coolly Informed his honor, got
sent to the hospital and then walked
OIL. rs he thought confinement was
injurious to his health, was also sent
up on charge Of burglary. There
seems to be a very loose way Of doing
business at the hospital-prisoners, as
in this case, being allowed to escape
without being even reported to the
police or any effort made to recapture
them.
