A BRIEF SKETCH OI" LIFE IN SAN FRANCISCO. The following is a translation of an article by J. S. IIittell. published In Philo Jncoby‘s San Francisco German Almanack for 1867: .San Francisco. styled figuratively the Golden City. with a population of 120.000. the ii.etropolis of the finance. commerce. manufactures. and fashion of the Pacific Coast of North America. is situated in latitude 37 ° 48’. about the same distance from the Equator as Richmond. Lisbnrn. Palermo, Athens. Smyrna. and led-lo. and four miles from the Pacific Ocean on the Western shore of San Francisco Bay. The climate is cool throughout the year. never cold encu h to freeze. and seldom hot enough to make li ht clothing comfort- able. The average temperature 0 January, the coldest month. is 40 °. and of be tembsr. the warmest month. 689 Fahrenheit. the di sronce being only nine do- gross2 whereas the difference between January and July is 42 ° degrees in New York.26 ° in London. and 30° in .Naples. No other city in the temperate zone has a climate so oquable as that of San Francisco; none in any none has a temperature better suited for the do the mass of the no lo live in more comfort than in San Francisco. bl or y habits are very rare. and even prudent regard for the future is not so common as it should be. One of the evidences of the common extra- vagance is observed in the fact that many ersons re- fuse to take any change less than a dime. {all dimes. which are the smallest coins in use. are less rised here even by the poorest than esnts are in New orlt. The draymnn carries a gold watch: the washerwoman dresses in silk; the chambermaid is unhappy if her bou- net is not of the latest Parisian fashion. In the matter of public amusements. the city is des- tined to become eminent. The raild winters and cool summers are favorable to out-door life. The people s end much of their time in the o is air. Processioiis. icnics. excursions. and public displays are frequent.— ancing is in fashion throughout the year. Two theatres are open almost constantly. and we have an opera season every year. besides numerous concerts and lectures. Those who wish to go out in a buggy usually drive to the splendid ocean beach. on a romantic roe . over the hills west of the city. The spring and early summer. when the country is green. is the season for leaving the city. The chief summer resorts are the va- ' rious towns and warm springs of the valley near the bay. the Geysers. the Big Trees. Yosemite and Santa Crux. The number. however. of those who come to San Fran- cisco for pleasure is much renter than of those who leave it. Everybody who was on the Pacific slopes wants to make a home in this city. or at least to spend some time here. The minor who has made a successful unto, the farmer who has in a good crop, the lawyer who has aux-insulated I me p rty by practice in the interior. looks forward to the ay when he can snjcy the fruits of his labor in the metropolis of the Pacific. There is a multitude. a varist . and a rapid succession of entertainments. unequalla by any city of the New World save New York. The most costly reductions. ad the greatest delicacies of all quarters o the Iglobe. are been collected. Nostgomery street. though crter than Broadwa . is not less brilliant.

MILITARY Kmart A'l‘ wooiwicn. 0 We learn from the London Times of the 16th ult.. that the departmental officers at Woolwich, whose duties at the approach of the new financial your are naturally heavy. in preparing and auditing the ne- counts, and making arrangements for the Estimates required for the ensuing season. are more than usually engaged in meeting demands both for the army and navy of a renewal of equipments according to im- proved plans. The method of defending and arming ed to be the most efleclunl o the age, has now been totally abolished, and a thorough l'eVulllllOll has been recognized in that branch of the War Department on which the most material interests of the country do. pond. The new system. which has received the sanction and approbation of General Pool, is ordered to be introduced as speodly as the resources of the establishment will admit. The Palisicr shot and shell (chilled) and the Fraser cheep guns are to re- plnce the Armstrougs; the boxes. cartridges. and ammunition. and Snider breech-loading rifles are being issued with promised despatch. and the wrought iron gun carriages, platforms. slides. did. for land and can service on the Woolwich principle have been shipped in large numbers, and are still in renewed request by the Admirolity and the Secretary of State of War. At no time since the Russian war has the establishment of Woolwich Arsenal been more ac. tively engaged than at present, notwithstanding the numerous new resources of improved machinery and mechanism which have advanced with the time. A moderate supply of new rifles and ammunition is deepntched periodically by the Ordinance stare vesc sole to the whole of the out stations, and in cases of emergency by railway and other means. On the 15th ult.. a lurge number of cases of the cartridges and ammunition were sent 00‘ from Woolwich Ar- scnal us a reserve for the army in Ireland. CENSUS IN FRANCE. (Correspondence to the London Times. ) The result of the late quinqnennial census in France is referred to by tho Mamie as more favorable than had been expected. Notwithstanding several cruel epidemics. the population has increased within five years by 680.000 persons. the whole amounting. as has been already stated. to 38,192,094. including the troops in Africa, Mexico. Cochin China. &c. " But why." it asks. -‘ should 58 departments have given an augmentation of 787.382, and 31 a decrease of106.459? Why has Brittany gained 88.000 souls, and Normandy, although quite adjoining. lost 34.- 251 ? Why has the [Innis-Sauna diminished by 522. and the Saone~et-Loire. at. its side. augmented by 11,809?" The writer cites many other similar examples. and then adverting to the reason generally assigned for the falling off—tho emigration of work- men to the large towns in scorch of higher wages-— denies that such o case is sufficient to explain the great differences which the official return lins dis- closed. The writer attribuch the small increase of the population generally and the partial diminution in some provinces, and those among the most wealthy to the determination of urcuts not to have large families. “ Why." exclaims a farmer well of in the world. “ should we have a brood of children to divide our little property among ? Is it not better to leave one child tolerably comfortable in circum- stances. than four or five struggling for existence ? " The Hands attributes therefore principally to the continued division of property in France emong children the small increase in the population, and adds. “ that except through the constant interference n...“ ROLL OF THE LORDS. The Roll of the Lords. spiritual and temporal. in this second Session of the 19th Parliament of the United Kingdom contains 462 names, and there is one vacancy in the representation of the peers for Scotland by the death of Lord Gray. A year ago the roll had only 454 names. The second name upon the roll of this Session is new. that of his Royal Highness Alfred. Duke of Edinburgh. To the next name. that of Duke of Cumberland, there is still added the title. “ King of Hanover.” There are several new names upon the roll. Sir Charles Wood has been created Viscount Halifax: Sir E. Bulwer Lytton. Lord Lyttou; Sir W. Jollifle. Lord IIyltou; Sir IIiigh Roe. Lord Itrnlthnairn : Colonel Pennant, Lord Ponrhyn. The Earl of Coithness. represent» tivo poor for Scotland. has been made a poor of the United Kingdom as Baron Borougill. and this hon- or has been conferred also upon several Irish peers «Lord Cleremont, Lord Athlumney (now Lord Morepyth.) the Earl of Dunraven (Lord Kerry.)

Lord Henniker (now Lord IIartsmore.) and Viscount Boyno (now Lord Brnocopcth.) 0n the other hand. three peerages have become extinct sineothe roll of last Session was made tip—the Baronet of Bayning.

'l‘wo peers who the country. which only a few ours ago was pronouuc-‘ of the clergy. it sees no means of applying a remedy: l Tits Entrants or MKXICO.-Tho Memorial Diplosts' gti'que says :—-”Tbo reassuring accounts of the rugs-es~ piivo improvement in the condition of the prosl ICharlotte which we were enabled to give. while so many tournnls re resented her state as desperate, are daily .' sling con riued. A recent letter from Mirsmsr ar- lnounces that the attacks from which Her Majesty has gendered. at Colllllflllllfidengtl‘inln‘ intervals. have now ’completoly ceased. By the last langlish packet, wuich ,arrived at Southampton on the 30th of' December. the Empress Charlotte received from her august consort letters in which be explained the real situation of Mexi- co, and stated his determination to summon a national cpngress to pronounce upon the future of the country. ’lhe Empress convened about the subject of those lst~ ters with the utmost calmness. expressing her satisfac- tion at finding the Emperor holding to his post of how 0r. where she hopes to rejoin him as soon as the unborn al congress shall have made known its decision. Until their thc‘ Empress perceives the necessity of but remain- iing in Europe. It is this which has greatly contributed 'to restore her natural serenity of mind. for but recently she ovmccd great Impatience to return to Mexico. In short. the physical and mental condition of the Empress Charlotte is as satisfactory as can he desired." A Doc Smut—Tho IIarrisbourg (Pa..) Tele- graph tells the following story: “ A few days ago. iins several persons were leaving the office of one of our physicians on Third street, they discovered on the reed loading thereto a dog who had been severely wounded in one of his logs. from which the blood was flowing freely. Seeing the door open the dog at once entered the office. limped to the doctor. and, in a most imploring attitude. hold up the wounded limb. The men of pills and bandages took pity on the an- imal, and upon examining the would found that an artery had been cut. Carefully laying his dogship on the floor. the doctor receded to bandage the wound. which be accomplished as skilfully as if his patient were a member of the human family. The dog seemed grateful for the attention shown him, and, after exhibiting his gratitude in an unmistaka- able manner. he proceeded to the door. and departed. What seemed more singular is, that the animal had never been in the office before. and that he was an entire stranger to the physician. Instinct alone could have caused him to visit the gentleman refer- red to in his hour of distress. Although this state- meiit may scarcely be believed by some of our road- ers. we assure them that it is true in every particular, and the dog referred to can be seen any day within a short distance of the office where he received the physicians attention." Scorcu I’xnssvsaazscs.——0ne day as a number of Yankees were amusing themselves by tr ing who could throw a stone farthest across a river. a gcobchman came up and was looking on. when one of the Yankees asked him to try his strength. " Man. I could throw yoursel' across the river. far less a stone.“ was the reply of tho Seotchman. The Yankee wagered him a dollar he wouldn‘t. The stakes were handed over. and the Scotcbman took off his coat and bored his arms. and lifted him up and threw him into the river. amidst the laughter _of tho bystanders. The Scotchinan was busily engaged in rolling up his sleeve. and when the Yankee claimed the wager. tho Scotcbmsn replied. "I didna romiso to don‘t the first time though." The Yankee. owcvsr. declined to give him a second trial. and the stakes were handed over to the Scotohmau. A VALUABLE Mouse Nessa—Mr. Charles Pres- cott. of the town of ( 'orilaud. N. Y.. about the mid- dlo of last September. lost from his vest pocket at night iifter going to bed about .840. rolled together. Ilow he lost the money he did not know ; no b - lars had been in the house through the light. suspected u servant who had lived for u long time in the family, and who was believed to be strictly hon. eat. but he did not tell any person of the loss except his wifc,und they determined to wait and watch. On Feb. 12 Mrs. Prescott was looking for some pieces of old muslin in a closet. On the floor was no old bag. and in the folds of it a mouse had made its cost; she had lined it with the missing green- backs, which were well preserved. Two women killed a wolf the other day in Butss County. Missouri. The wolf had been catching chickens, and on being disturbed. ran to a fence. which it endea- vored to pass through. but was caught by the hind legs by one oftlio women and hold fast. whilst the other wo- man went to the other side of the fauna and beat the wolf to death with a club. A Company has been formed in England to lay a tele- raphic cable from I-‘almoiith to Halifax. It is claimed that the cable to he used will be more' durable and efficient than those now in use. In the list of Directors we notice the names of Hon. Mr. Henry. Attorney- General of Nova Sootia. and Hon Peter Mitchell of New Brunswick—8f. John Telegraph.
