Doctors and Lawyers in California.

A friend writes the New York Express, that a very small bed room, upon the outskirts of the town, costs him $60 a month. For an office 8 by 10 feet he will have to pay $1,000 a month. He is a physician, but says that doctors are flocking to California by the cargo, and thinks that the gold pills of the mines will pay better than the blue pill of the druggist. We also see it stated that a Baltimore bricklayer is at work in San Francisco, with a Baltimore lawyer carrying the hod for him.
