Adventurers from every street in the city are concerting measures and collecting funds to pay their passages to Cali- fornia, where they intend to make their tortunes. No doubt the present movement may run into ex- | temee, and much disappointment may be encoun- tered by particular individuale; but there 1s no question in our mind that this wonderful discovery in Califorma, the means of transportation now possessed, combined with the energy, the enter- prise, and the skill of our young adventurers, will soon make San Francisco one of the largest cities on the Pacific; and, in fact, the New York of Califorma. That country is healthy in an extraor- dinary degree. San F rancisco 1s one of the finest harbors in the world—capable of contaiming, 8¢- cure from all storms and all winds, the navies of all Europe. ‘The back country, to the pinnacles of the Snowy Mountaias, is beautiful, and ex- ceedingly rich in vegetable productions, to say nothing of the riches under the soil, which have caused such a great sensation here and elsewhere, ‘This mania or madness is only in its commence- ment. Hxaurmn or rns Crry—Dinry Streets—Tax Present Corroration.—The presence of a ma- lignant disease, generally reputed to be the Asiatic cholera, at Staten Island, and the pro- babihty of its reaching this city, have created a good deal of excitement among all circles of society, and this excitement has been immea- curably increased by the extremely filthy condi- tion of our streets, the extreme neglect of the pub- lic centractors, and the gross misconduct of the existing Corporation in attending to their public duties and performing their obligations to the com. munity. The condition of the streets requires only to be pointed at, to be known and execrated by every inhabitant of this metropolis. What 1s the reason that such a want of public duty—such an absence of municipal organization—prevails to such an ex- tent in this otherwise energetic, stirring, business metropolis? In every department of the city go_ vernment there seems to be a screw loose; but the principal evils are manifested im the manner in which contracts are made, framed, and given out, for cleaning our principal thoroughfares. For thirty years past we do not think the streets of New York have been in such a filthy, dirty, and disgraceful condition; and what increages the dan- Actual Circulation of the Herald.

Jim Grant Going to Catirornia.—Jim Grant, the popular hair-dresser of Ann street, and well known throughout this country, sails to-day for California, and the “gold diggings” in that re- gion.

Rus eel, of the brig Judson, which arrived at this port yesterday, from St. Martins, November 21, that the heavy rains had filled the salt ponds at that place with fresh water, and that the inhabitants had very little hopes of making any salt for the hext eight months, unless the weather should be extremely clear and hot, as they have no sluices through which to let out the fresh water, nor pumps by which to eject it. Salt was scarce and high. We are indebted to Capt. Russel for George- town (British Guiana) papers to the Mth Nov.

Our city government is a epecies of close It is divided into two branches; but the organization of both springs from the same pnuciples, and the defects pervade the whole mu- nicipality.

We ascertain- ed that the direase first made its appearance on board the rhip New York, an American packet ehip from Havre. She had on board, at the time of her sailing from Havre, 845 steerage passengers. No cases of cholera at this time bad, as we were informed, been known to have occurred at Havre. But on board the New York, there were a great number of passengers who ceme from Paris, to take shipping for America from the port of Havre. The vessel bad, as we have been informed, m prosperous passage, with- out the cceurrence of any sick on board of apy consequence, until its approach to s ings, in the vicinity of Cap mn the coast of America, when & fall of several degrees in the barome- ter took ‘place, and the weather became milder and apd warmer than it had previously been. Then it was that the cbolera broke out on board the ship, and seve- ral cares occurred. of s fatal issue. What is, however, very singular ard remarkable in this history. is the fact, that it only broke out among those of the passen- gers who were from the city of Paris, and none others were victims to its fatal attacks.

Supporing that it may prove interesting to some uf the numerous readers of your valuable pa; md ao- ceptable to you to receive information on the state in which we find ourselves at present in this place, I direct you the following lines. Maracaibo having been occupied since the 3lst of May, by President Monagas’s forces, under the com- mand of Colonel C. L Castelli, the port was since then blockaded by the fleet belonging to General Paes, or the party calling themselve Restaurators. The foreign consuls resident here, being apprehensive that, for want of food, disorder might break out amongst the jower olacres and the troops, and thus endanger the property, if not even the lives of the foreigners,resolved upon sending messenger to the capital, (Caraccss) for the purpose of stating the ease to their ministers there, demanding the protection ofa man-of-war ; but none but the American eloop-of-war Albany baing then at the station of La Guayra, aed some inaon- venience exiting for sending her to the Gatfor este catbo, nothing could be 4eRe Rinpiied at an carly Gates ‘er. the authorities here endeavored to euforce vpon the merchants the repayment of duties satisted, tothe Paes party previous tothe arrival of Monagas’s forers; and net beeitating in taking most unwarrauta- ble end severe steps for exacting the compliance of this their most unjust demand, another messenger was despatched by the consuls to the forcign ministers at Ceracas, upon whese representations President Monagas gave orders to Colonel Castelii for suepend- ing his prcceedings against the merchan quick conveyance of which decree to Ma 7 be | Governcr of the island of Curaoas, d od the utch brig-of-war Pyl, to the bar of Maracaibo.
