	The population of the State, and of San Francisco in particular, had been largely increasing during the last six months. Between the 1st of January, 1849, and the 30th of June following, it was estimated that fifteen thousand had been added to the population of the county; of which number nearly ten thousand came by sea and landed at San Francisco. Only about two hundred of these were females. The next half year gave an average of four thousand immigrants per month by sea alone, about five hundred of whom, in all, were females; and the whole of which numbers landed at San Francisco. In the early part of 1849, the arrivals were principally from Chile, Mexico and other countries on the Pacific coasts of America; but later in the year, an immense number of Americans came direct from the Atlantic States, around Cape Horn, or by way of Panama, while many foreigners also arrived from China and from various parts of Europe. Hitherto the departures were comparatively few.		The population of the State, and of San Francisco in particular, had been largely increasing during the last six months.
