Crockett, one oi* luo \\ ostei n .<l>tur-s c.??vyi jr some new ideas of matters and things in Caiifoi " A stranger, on his arrival at San Francises is astonished at the great munhor of wind mil! j. - _ which are to be seen in all parts of the city : " ' But he will cease to be astonished, when lie 10 fleets that there is no spot in the world, perhaps so admirably adapted to this species of motm power. The winds prevail here everv ?!iv b ;b , year, commencing about noon each day, an ]< ?> tinning until about sun sot. They cotue, a.-uniformly from the same quarter, sweeping h , ; fioni the-ocean through tin- entrance to the iiar bor. When they set in at noon, they continu with a steady current untii night and sometime V longer. They aflbrd, therefore, a steady, stroni aiid reliable motive power, which has ahead1 - 1 7 been applied to many useful purposes. Mills tor grinding grain, pumps for elevating water, turning laths, and machinery of variou ??, .> immolled in this way. The wind-sail uiuVo, i - r , are elevated above the tops ot* the houses, am are to be seen in various sections through the ei ty. As their long and ponderous arms pi; around, under the impulse of a brisk gale, the" impart a very* singular appearance to our streets But I am convinced that, though our breezes ar rather too strong and sometimes too chilly* to b ; comfortable, they will be turned to profitable ac pf. : count as manufactures multiply, and the quanti tv of machinety is increased. These winds ar also of immense advantage in another respect in sweeping off a!i malarious influences, and pu rityiug the atmosphere. This city* i? believed to be tlie healthiest spo ~ . ? in California, and in iny opinion the healthies in the world of the same population. Biliiou diseases are almost unknown here, and disease of the chest and lungs are equally rare. Rlieii ? inatism is more prevalent than perhaps any othc form of disease, and yields readily to medica treatment; B'.it on the whole, one may hav< a greater security <f lite, and a more certain im munity -from disease at San Franci-c >. than a any other place I have ever known. The ^ulu v * = manifest ill the re Dnty or lll'J Ciimaic 10 ..... bust appearance of the men. and the fat, clmbb; v v faces of the children. . A more healthy looking population cannot b found in the world, nor one which appeals toon joy the good things of life with more gusto. Ii the interior, and especially-in the valleys of th Sacramento and Sati Joa-piin rivers, bilious db eases I learn are more prevalent, though ovei there, they do not prevail to one-half so gna an extent as upon the prairies of the West. Oi the whole, I atu convinced that Calif-ruin is on of the healthiest countries in the world, and th mortality which prevailed amongst the emigrant of 1849, was to be attributed chiefly to the wan . - . of wholesome food, the exposed manner in whid r they lived, and the extremely dissipated habit which then prevailed. But now that people liv in comfortable houses, and have an abundance r *' excellent food, and withal have reformed thei habits, one has a little cause to anticipate sickness in California as in any portion of the w >rl<! So far as my observation goes, it is indeed th healthiest part of the continent.. ? Notwithstanding all 1 have written he-'-tofor on the subject of the style i?r I7\ing in CVnifiiYivk 1 fear I have failed to convey correct impression in that respect. The country is so very new and the public mind was so forcibly impresses with the recitals of the terrible sufferings endt; ?J >- U is (bliicii! rea oy me e?nv cungiau^, .. . ? even for one who sees it, to realize the vast chang in that respect which h;is taken place within thru years. But whatever may have been the fac heretofore, it is undeniable that, at present, . large majority of the people of California liv in exceeding comfort, and many of them eveu ii luxurious style. Many of their houses arc no only handsomely finished and conveniently ar ranged, but are furnished in a costly manner and as far as I have observed, their tables not only abundantly, but in many instances luxu riouslv supplied. Quite a number of plcaMir carriages of all descriptions, (some of which ar very elegant aud costly,) are to be seen in th streets of the chief towns, whilst a greater uum ber of both ladies and gentlemen are to be sec-i riding on horseback for exercise and amusement than I have observed at other places of the sain size, a day or two ago, 1 observed in the street of this city a splendid carriage tilled with ludie and gentlemen, and driven four in hand, liaviii; fourjnagnificeiit grey horses in the harness, mention these trivial incidents only prove tha ^ San Francisco is rapidly acquiring the habits am customs of other cities, and that those whoemi grate hither may be convinced that they wil find a very reasonable degree of refinement am civilization here, notwithstanding the very gene ral belief to the contrary in the older States. In other new countries it has required man; years lo overcome the difficulties of a frontie settlemeut and to introduce the comforts or rc . fiuenients of lite. But it should be remember? that California is not to be governed by th standard which regulates other countries. 1 has sprung almost full grown into being; am one year has served to accompli>h mure in C.di fornix than ten years lias ever done in oinercouu trios. Cities grow up hero a> it' by magic, am whole neighborhoods are populated almost in month 1 om.' would ha\c a just conception ? the power ot' gold, and of the wonders it acconi plishes in a brief space of time In; should coin to California. No other spot on eaith can ej Libit tliOao results in striking and >o marveloti a niatit. r. It has in used into tie* people air jnto every department of business a degree c activity and energy which is t ruly surprising am to persons at a distance almost incredible. The Farmer not proprri.v Estimated.?Th following, which we clip from an exchange, em bodies truth and good sense. If the aspiratio of Farmers were half so strong to elevate 11ici sons as Farmers, as it is to make merchants an professional men, and pore Lance loafers, .w should soot) bo taught to look to the agricultui nl for the host bred, as well as the best I'm men in America:?"It is h lamentable fact, ilia the farm* r does not occupy the elevated po^lio in society that his occupation justly entitles hii to. lie is looked upon fjuite bolow the hiwvei physician, divine, artist, merchant or merchant' clerk.

Iiei;ce comes the desire of bop to es- _ - cape, not so much the drudgery of their employment as from the idea that they are looked up- _ on and estimated as mere drudges. > What blindness, folly, and false Hiiil osoi liy i this ? The results of these false premises is tiiat j - the professions are crowded to the starvation ^ , point: cleiks not only go begging but become "c u l>eggars,or worse; merchants are multipli'-d. and p J good, old fashioned labor is getting out . !'

', r - P' ESi-itisia Colonial Biulo. Political r. latiuus h> tw- i: Croat Hritan and n. e her Cotmi's have uud-rgi.iioof ia considerable . changes.

To t'a bodies all (Ja' bind cflicers arc responsible, and removable by them. The imperial Government lias retained ^ simply a negative oil their act ?, which is rarely ^ interposed. The Colonies impose their own taxe es and provide their own budget. As they are c unrepresented in the llritish Parliament the moth t l'1 er country has come nearly to recognise the pnn a ciples for which we took up arms. The Colonics ll f' are no longer the channels of oiTieia! patronage 11 oil a large scale.

Th it : hcse changes are L! fraught with hazards to die authority of tin pae rent country cannot admit of denial. Willi the j extension of power in the Colonial Legislatures, 11 and the dependence of nearly all who hold ofii- s< ' cial trusts on them, instead of the home Govern- ol e incut, as heretofore, the maintenance of political ti 's sovereignty is incompatible. jt s These remarks have been suggested in noti^ cing the great relaxation which has taken place 4,1 in the colonial dominion of England, in various c. ^ parts of tho world, which increases in proportion r< to distance. It is not simply that Canada with * her other North American provinces are held by ! a thread which becomes weaker every hour, but as we have seen in the Cape of Good Hope, and ll as we shall see at no distant day in Australia, in a proportion to tho remoteness of the settlements <r ^ and their non-insular character, will be the difli- i ], ' cnlty of holding sovereignly over them, llerj j Indian colonies form perhaps an exception to this [ ' description of uncertain rule.
