SAN JOSE. — Mr. BONNICIANI, (of Berford & Co's ExExpress,) is duly authorized to receive subscriptions and advertisements for the Alta California. Subscribers will find their papers at his office, City Hotel, upon the arrival of the Express line of stages, daily. . The New North Coast Settlements. All accounts represent the region of Humboldt Bay as one of the most picturesque and delightful places in California. We have conversed with gentlemen of veracity and intelligence, recently arrived from the settlements on Humboldt, who depict the charms, resources and business advantages of that vicinity in more glowing colors than the public are yet made familiar with. They visited Humboldt without interesting themselves pecuniarily in the prospects of the new towns, and are about to return to the United States. The value of their descriptions is enhanced by those considerations. The bay, which is about eighteen miles in length, is now regularly visited by vessels from this port, and the prospects for improvements are daily increasing. In the town of Humboldt houses are daily being built, and in Eureka and the cither cities the most extensive preparations are being carried out. The object of all these newly projected cities is to monopolize the trade as far as possible. At this distance it is impossible for us to state which is to become the city. All of the projected cities "possess decided advantages," and offer inducements both to traders and to miners; but so many conflicting accounts reach us that we are not at all disposed to admit that one locality is better than another. But of one thing we are certain, and that is that the climate is most delightful. The inhabitants of this region not only receive the warmth of the ever glorious Sun, but they are favored with summer flowers. Of this we are assured. The cattle cringe at the breath of the cooling wind; the husbandman rakes up his cocks of wild oats, he buttons up his fear-naught, and as the well charged drops patter upon his thatched roof, he thinks of those far away. According to our ideas a paradise has been attained, as far as a paradise can have existence upon this sublunary sphere; and we shall take the first opportunity of a steam communication to pay our respects to this favored spot. What with summer showers, causing nature to produce the most delicious and odorous evidences that she is the Queen of the Earth, and the balmy atmosphere, we are decidedly inclined to shake off the dust of San Francisco, and repair "forever and a day" to the more salubrious districts of the upper regions of the brave Pacific.
