CALIFORNIA EMIGRATION SOCIETY.—In order to facilitate the emigration of the working classes, which constitute the real wealth of a country, an Emigration Society has been formed in connection with, and at the entire cost of, the California Colonisation Company: the following advantages amongst others are held out to members:—
No deduction for commission will be made from subscriptions (as in other " Free Passage Associations"). One Subscriber in every Forty will be entitled to proceed to the Colony by the Company's first ship, the outfit being liberally provided for—on arrival every facility will be afforded by the resident Agents and Superintendents.
The selection of members to go out will be made by themselves on the same plan as that exercised by Building Societies, and those established in the Potteries. The first ballot (of which due notice will be given) will take place in the presence or members, so soon as two thousand Shares have been subscribed for: those unable to attend will be permitted to depute any one on his or her behalf, who will be admitted on producing the Share Certificate; and those on whom the choice falls will be allowed to dispose of or transfer their privilege to ony party or parties they please; if married, the Company will send ont their wives and families with them on advantageous terms. Immediately on arriving in California, a portion of land with habitation erected on it, will be let at a low rental, to those eligible. who will be required to transmit home by installments through the Resident Agent as soon as practicable, the value for the benefits received by them—such re-fund will enable the second Forty out of the same class of two thousand to follow, and so on.
N.B—In local towns and extensive manufactories, works, &c., where forty or more club together, the ballot will take place amongst themselves, and the successful candidates will be required to place themselves in immediate communication with the Secretary, in London, in order to obtain the requisite certificate, &c. The most strenuous exertions will be made by the Director to despatch the first ship early in the ensuing month.
Emigrants desirous of returning to the mother country will be afforded every assistance to effect their wishes. Every explanation and information will be afforded on application at the Offices of the Society, or its Agents throughout the kingdom.
THE PRICE OF EACH SHARE IS £1.
Applications to join the Society must state the name, age, address, and occupation of the party, the number of Shares he or she may require, and enclose post-office order, payable to ROBERT WILLIAMS, 6, Finsbury Square, at the Money Order Office, London, for which a Certificate will be forwarded by return of post.

TO EMIGRANTS, SAILORS , &c.
NO one should leave England without first providing himself and family with a good stock of GUTTA PERCHA SOLES AND SOLUTION. From the ease with which these soles can be applied to boots and shoes, in countries where no shoemaker can be found for miles; their power of keeping the feet perfectly dry, when wading in either fresh or sea water, and thus preserving the body from coughs, colds, and consumption, in lands where medical advice cannot be easily had—added to their great durability and cheapness, render them most essential to the cemfort and security of all who purpose sailing to distant countries. Gutta Percha Trays, Bowls, Cups, Bottles, Inkstands, Dishes. Plates, Ear Trumpets, &c. are admirably suited for shipboard and emigrants, as they will not break by being even violently thrown down upon the floor. Any person taking a stock across tbe seas, will find it afford a profitable speculation. Manufactured by the Gutta Percha Company, patentees, Wharf-road, City-road, London; and sold by their wholesale dealers in town and country.

A correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin tells how wine is made in California. In the first place, it does not pay to employ men to tramp out the grapes, and steam-power is used. Absolute cleanliness is essential. The floors of the cellars are kept perfectly clean and sweet; every cask and every tank must have been washed and scrubbed with hot water and sal soda, and then rinsed before the season opens; every implement used is cleaned in the same way, even the grape-boxes. No garbage or decayed matter of any kind is permitted, no dampness, and the cellars must be well ventilated. The teams bringing in the grapes, if coming from a distance, are covered with a heavy sheet to exclude the dust. By means of an elevator the grapes are carried to the top story of the building and emptied into a crusher, which in a second crushes the grapes from the stems, the latter falling on one side, while the pomace and juice are conveyed away on a car to their respective tanks. When fermentation is completed the wine is drawn off and the pomace pressed dry in huge presses. In a few months the juice is clear enough for the market, and is again drawn off, leaving the sediment in the bottom of the tank.
