gunos años de ruwft.. que estaba cuerdo y en su entero juicio, y -esta imaginación escribió el Arzobispo, suplicándole encarecidamente y con muy cortadas razones le mandase sacar de aquella miseria en que vivía, pues por la misericordia do Dios habia ya cobrado cl juicio perdido; pero que aus parientes, por ganar dc la parte do su hacienda, le tenian alli, y a pesar de la verdad querían qne fuese loco hasta la muerte. El Arzobispo, persuadido do muchos billetes con- .aertados y discretos, mandó a un capellán suyo se informase del ííetor do la casa si era verdad lo qne e,:¡uel .Licenciado le escribía, y que así eniscr.o hablase con el loco, y q\i¿j si la pareciese qua tenia juicio, le sacase y pusiese en libertad. Hizolo así el capellán, y el Eetor le dijo ■que aquel hombre aun estaba loco, que puesto que hablaba muchas veces .como persona de grande entendimiento, al cabo disparaba con tantas necedades, oue en .muchos y en grandes igualaban a sus primeros discreciones, como se podía hacer la esperiencia habiéndole. Quiso hacerla el capellán, y poniéndole con .el loop, habló con él una hora, y mas, y en todo aquel tiempo jamas el loco dijo razón torcida ni disparatada; antes habló tan atentamente, que el capellán fue forzado a creer que el loco estaba cuerdo; y otras cosas que el loco le dijo, fue que ei Retor le tenia.ojeriza, por no perder los regalos que sus parientes le hacían, porque dijese que aun estaba loco y coa lucidos intervalos, y que el mayor contrario que en su desgracia tenía, era su niuclni .hacienda, pues por gozar de ella sus enemigos ponían dolo, y dudaban de la merced que nuestro S-.'ñor le había hecho en volverle de bestia en hombre. Finalmente él habló de manota que hizo sospechosos al Retor, codiciosos y desalmados a sus parientes, y a él tan discreto, que el ca;: e- lian se determinó a llevársele consigo a que el Arzobispo lo viese, y tocase con la mano la verdad de aquel negocio. Con esta buena fé el capellán pidió al Retor mandase dar los vestidos con que'allí habia entrado ol Licenciado volvió a decir el Retor que mirase lo que hacia porque sin duda alguna el Licenciado aun estaba loco. No sirvieron de nada para con el .capellán las prevenciones y advertimientos del Üetor, para que dejase de llevarle : obedeció .el Retor, viendo ser orden del Arzobispo: pusieron al Licenciado sus vestidos, que eran nuevos y decentes, y como él s.e vio vestido d£ en- .erdj y desnudo de loco, suplicó al capellán que por caridad le diese licencia para ir a des- -cedirse de sus companeros los locos. El cape lian dijo que él lequeria acompañar, y ver los l°cos que en la casa habia. Snbíéron en efeto, y con .ellos algunos que £e hallaron presentes: y llegada) el Licenciado a una jaula, adonde estaba un loco furioso, aunque entonces sosegado y quieto, le dijo : hermano mío, miro si me manda algo, que me voy a mí casn, que ya Dios ha sido servido por su infinita bondad y oiisericordiíi. sin yo merecerlo, de volverme mi juicio; ya estoy sano y .cuerdo, que acerca del poder de Dios ninguna cosa es imposible .: tenga grande esperanza y cen fianza en él, que pues a mí me ha vuelto a mi primero estado, también lo volverá a él, si en el confia : yo tendré cuidado de enviarlo algunos regalos que coma, y cómalos en todo caso, qne le hago saber quo imagino, como quien a pasad'} por ello, que todas nuestras locuras proceden de tener los estómagos vacíos, y los celebros llenos de aire: esfuércese, esfuércese, que el descaecimiento en los infortunios apoca la salud y acarrea la muerte. Todas estas razones del licenciado escucho otro loco, que estaba eu otro jaula enfrente de la del furioso; y levantándose de una estera vieja, dondo estaba echado y desnudo en cueros pregunto a grandes voces, ¿ quien era el que iba sano y cuerdo? Ei Licenciado respondió: yo soy hermano, ei que me voy, que ya no tengo,necesidad de estar mas aqui, por io que doy infinitas gracias a los ciólos que tan gran merced me han hecho. Mirad lo que dices Licenciado, no os engaño el diablo, replicó el loco, sosegad el pie y estaos quieto en esta casa ya horrareis la vuelta. Vo se que estoy bueno replicó el Licenciado, y no habrá para que tornar a andar estaciones. ¿ Vos bueno 1 dijo el loco: agora bien, ello dirá andad con Dios; pero yo os votó a Jupiter, cuya majestad yo represento en la tierra, que por solo esto pecado que hoy comete Sevilla con sacaros de esta casa tengo de hacer un tal castigo en ella que quede memoria del por todo3 los siglos de los siglos amen, i No sabes tu lícenciadillo menguado, que lo podre hacer pues como digo soy Jupiter Temante tengo rayos abrasadores con que pm amenazar y distiuír ej mundo Pero con solo una cosa quiero castigar a este ignorante pueblo, y es con no llover en el, ni en todo su distrito y .contorno, por tres años enteros, que se han de .contar desdo el dia y punto que ha sido hecha L'Pnop l s¡Y ■*v$v'(i~ ' Jo£.if ■ CERVANTES. Ji^F*Cartas de Alexandria, Ejipto, del 21 de Junio, anuncian que ese dia se habia abierto la comunicación de Cairo á Alexandria, per ferro-carril; es esí.9 el primero que se ha consfcrnído en áfrica. Va incidente un ia vida da Tre* ¿Fingered Jack* Un corresponsal del digirió de Stockton publica el siguiente incidente eomo un rasgo his: turico, que hace formar una idea .del carácter del conocido por Juan de ires dedos, En la batalla de Salinas, se distinguió de ; demás eomo enemigo de ios Americanos, y después do la batalla, mereció la admiración de los Californios- que lo denominaron valiente entre los valientes. El fué ,el Comandante de la partida que tantos estragos hizo en la compañía del Capstan Burroughs. Un tal Cris, tino Chancey que .estaba cerca del Capitán Foster, cuando cayó muerto, me dijo poco después, que Jack dc los tres dedos era el que habia muerto al Capitán Burroughs y que se habia apoderado del caballo y la silla en que este montaba. Este caballo, era el famoso '-Sacramento" de color bayo, que habia sido regalado por el [Capitán Sutter al Coronel Fremont, mucho tiempoantes. El caballo, desconociendo a sus nuevos compañeros, volvió al campamento Americano. Diez y ocho meses después do este encuentro estuvo Yack en ./Monterey y fué cuando lo vi por la primera vez: parecía tener cerno 28 años de edad, y su fisonomía era sumamente desagradable y repugnante; supe que hacia poco tiempo que habia regresado de Méjico, adonde habia sido empleadocomo vaquero por cierto general, que había ido allá, con el objeto de levantar un ejercito de veinte y cinco mil hombres, para reconquistar California. Durante su permanencia en Monterey, donde se reunió con un antiguo camarada llamado Federico de la Montaña, supo que el famoso caballo Sacramento, se habia reunido a la caballada mesteña y gozaba de dulce libertad en los estensos llanos de San Joaq.uin. Entonces, salió de aquel pueblo acompañado de varios otros,prometiendo que no regresaría hasta no ha ber cautivado al noble animal; cumplió fielmen te su promesa,pucs a el jamas se le volvió a ver en Monterey, y el caballo recorre &un libre las bastas llanuras. El Loto y el perro flaco, Distante déla Aldea, Iba cazando un Perro Flaco, que parecía Un andante Esqueleto. Cuando menos lo piensa, Un Lobo lo hizo preso. Aqui de sus clamores, De sus llantos y rueg Decidme, Señor Lobo, i, Que queréis de mi cuerpo,, Si no tiene otra nosa due huesos y pellejo? Dentro de quince dias Casaa eu hija mi dueño,, Y ha de haber para todos Arros, y Gallo muerto. Tejadme ahora libre; -.Que .pasado este tiempo Podrás comerme a gusto, Lucio, gordo, y relleno. ■Quedaron convenidos; Y apenas se cumplieron Los días señalados, Kl Lobo buscó al Perro, listábase en su casa Con otro compañero, Llamado Matalobos, Mastín de los mas .fieros; Salen a recibirlo Al punto que lo vieron, Matalobos bajaba ■Con corbatín de hierro. No era el Lobo persona De tantos cumplimientos, Y así .por no gastarlos Cedió de su derecho. Huia, y lo llamaban; Mas el iba .diciendo, Con el rabo entre piernas: i Pies para que os quiero ? Hasta los niños saben Que ea de mayor aprecio Un Pájaro en la mano, Que por el aire ciento. Samaniego. El matrimonio, es cl sepulcro del amor. El mas bello adorno de las niñas es el pudor y la modestia. ■ :.Y--"^,- ■"■ 'S • __ ..-oíCJr"*>Ul'>c Tesorero. Procurador general. Agrimensor general. Superintendente de instrucción pública.

V1ÍR¿EST, Unrest! unrest! the passion p.miingeea Watches the unveiled lie;tr,ty of the stars Like n great hungry soul» The unquiet clouds lireak and dissolve, then gather in a mass, Anclfloat like mighty iee-i.iei'o's through, the hluc; Summers, like blushes, sweep the face of earth- Heaven yearns in tears. ' ¿Down comes the frantic rain; We hear the wail ofthe remorseful winds Iu their strange penance. And this wretched orb Knows not the taste of rest- u maniac world. Homeless and sobbing through tlie deep she goes, (gpuGn the 21st of July, the Feast of Saint Louis of G on zaga, there was to have,been a general congregation of Jesuíta at Paris, to nominateanew General, ia place of II. P. Rod' thaan, deceased. The General ofthe Jesuits is appointedfor life,and the powers which devolve upon him. under the Constitution of the Urder are very great. A German named Pierling, will preside over the congregation,having beeu named Vicar General by Rcothaan. during the last days of bis illness. Hf&^TAr Scudder, the Missionary, mentions the interesting fact, that a wealthy native of Calcutta, Baboo Rammohem Mulik, lately repaired to the common jail and released eighty debtors, paying their obligations to the extent of 3.000 rupees. He also spent some 50,000 rupees at the great Carnival which closed in November. Others made magnificent presents to the Brahmins, and one man sacrificed five hundred goats and fifty buffaloes. Three young men lately got adrift in a small boat just above the frightful abyss at Niagara, over which two of them were hurled and dashed to atoms. Tbe third wben near the verge of the abyss, succeeded iu reaching a rock to which he clung till evening. Every effort was made to relieve him, but in vain. After clingirg twenty four hours to a slippery rook he became exhausted by the strength ofthe current and was swept down the cararact- City on the topsof Trees. It ia not ensy to give tbe reader an idea of thia remarkable city, (Amsterdam,) crossed and reerossed by canals in every direction—a city half water and hilf lard—in which the canals are the streets and highways leading towards the open sea, which aeems to hold the city in its arms. Tt is only hy means of expensive and most substantial dykes and sluices,elaborately constructed and carefully repaired and guarded, that the sea is kept back, and but for these, this city, containing upwards of 200,000 inhabitants, would inevitably be submerged and destroyed. Four great canala run across the city in parallel curved lines, and crossing these,are a series of otber canals, converging in the harbor like tbe lines ofa fan. Large basins occur here and there at intervals. The buildings in the best part of the city are magnificent, many of them of great age, bearing rich and grotesque ornamental work on their fronts. You would scarcely believe that the soil under these majestic buildings was only loose sand and soft mud! Yet it is so; and it is only by means of piles of wood driven far down through the sand into the solid stratum beneath, that a foundation has been found. Hence .Erasmus said of Amsterdam, that tbe inhabitants, like crows, lived on the topa of trees. Any onu who merely pays a pnssing visit to Amsterdam, cannot fail to be thrown inte a state of perplexity and maze by the apparent inextricable complicity ofthe city, in innumerable bridges ¡ts endless eucces-sion of canals and interminable brick streets. The canals and bridges so much resemble each other, that the stranger without a guide fuels as if he were wandering in a labyrinth: he loses all recollection of the points of compass; and as I did, be will soon probably lose his way. The most interesting public building in Amsterdam is the Stadthouse, for merly occupied by the famous bank of Amsterdam, but now used as a royal palace. The great, feature of its interior is its grand ball, lined with white Italian marble, s id to be the finest ball of the kind in the world. The smaher apartments ¡n the palace contain some fine modern Dutch paintings, to which the public arc freely admitted. One painting representing the hero, Van Speyk, applying the match to blow up his veesel at Antwerp, rather than allow it to be taken by the Belgians, is one that lives long in tbe memory of him who has seen it. Late prom the Sandwich Islands. The picture of affairs in the Sandwich Islands is gloomy. The small pox is raging with increased virulence, and the unhappy natives are being swept off by thousands. Within aweek there were 527 new cases of the disease officially reported. This was only from one neighborhood and would probably be swelled to six or seven hundred by reports from other districts and islands. The natives are singularly predisposed to take this disease. Their system appears to be so enervated and undermined by hereditary taint that the scourge finds them a ready victim. It is stated in connection with this subject that ten thousand ofthe Islanders were carried off in 1847 by the measles and whooping cough. The cholera would about finish them. The indignation of the people agatnt the King's Ministers who have so long monopolized all power in the Islands, has at length come toa head. A public meeting has been called to remonstrate against the further continuance in power of Messrs Judd and Armstrong. In case the King can summon sufficient resolution to dismiss them, a more liberal and enlightened Ministry may be expected, under which every inducement will be offered to foreigners to settle upon and improve those Islands. Adieu! for o7er thee night hath come; Now hie thee to thy peaceful home, And, slumbering,rest. Stay, till with her expanded wing, Approaching morn .her joys shall bring To all earth's blest. Wake not, wake not, from sweet dream' For beauteous scenes from Heaven shall seem To visit thee- From realms of light, where spirits roam, Some fair, an^tdie form shall come, Thy guide to be. Population of Great Britain. The census of Great Britain for 1850, has just been published in two thick volumes. The number uf people returned was 21,123.907, of whom 10,385,048 were males, and 10,725,919 were females, thus giving the ladies the advantage. There are 17,150 towns, villages, etc, in Great Britain. The population of Ireland is 0,000, 000 souls! The Jewish Nation adhere with singular pertinacity to the faith of their fathere,and are devoted to their ancient ritea and ceremoniea. As an EevidtncQ of thia it ia stated that the ''London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews," after twenty yeara labor, the erection of a church on Mount Zion.and expenditure of vast sums; after eBtabliahing a mission presided over by a Bishop, and endowed by tbe joint efforts of the Kingdoms of Pruseia and England, has gained only thirtv eeren Jewish converts. .During the whole of last year the result of its labor was tho conversion of one Jew. The cost of thia one convert was the annual outlay, at Jerusalem alone, besides the Bishop's stipend, of $1228 expended on the mission, £445 on the church, 1173 pounds on the Hospital, and 400 pounds (we beg pardon, 3991. la. lid) on the House of Industry. The Jerusalem Mission, then—if we add to its cost the 12001. per annum paid to Bishop Gobat,ari- sing from the endowment—has actually in the past year baptized converts at the moderate rate of £444 4s. 2d. per head. £52?"Speaking of Secretary Guthrie, who accompanied the President to the opening of the New York Crystal Palace, the Herald says: "Secretary Guthrie is, perhaps, the plainest Kentucky farmer 1-mking man, that was ever at the bead of the Treasury Department. Ha looks as if he had lived in the Western back- wood,i ail his life, and bad just come over the AI legan iea to see something of the wonders of civilization on the seaboard. He might pasa for David Crockett redivivus. His little eye, hia strongly marked agricultural countenance, hia muscular, rawboned Herculian figure, heavy ungainly gait and drowsy somnolescent style of conversation, would hardly warrant the presumption tbat he is one of the most distinguished lawyers of Kentucky. He speaka familiarly upon subjects upon which ore might think he had never heard, and here, in New YorBi was not a whit more disconcerted by tha sp'endid things around him than a Camanche Indian." The New Mail Route. The contract entered into by the Postmaster General with Col Ramsay & Co , for the transportation of maila from New York and San Francisco, went into operation Jast Monday. By thia new arrangement which gains some 2000 miles of ocean route, the express mail leaves Vera Cruz on tha Atlantic, and Acapulco on the Pacific, on tho 4th and ISth of each month, meeting at Mita- pee, a central point in the interior, and distant from each of those ports about 36 hours making the hind route across the republic only 72 hours. When the lino is in good working order it is expected to reduce the distance of time between New Orleans and San Francisco to twelve days. Gen Santa Anna ia most fa. vorably dispjsed towards the project, and the alcaldes along the line have been directed to afford the contractors and their servants every facility. [N. Y. Herald. Western Eloquence. A Wisconsin lawyer commenced an address to the court in the following style: "The court wil! please to observe that the gentleman from the east has given ua a very learned speech. He has roamed with old Romulus, soaked with old Socrates, ripped with Euripides, canted with old Cantharides ; but what, your honor, does he know abut the laws of Wisconsin?1' Coriocs Information. 'Ihe French speak in the nose, tbe Germans in the throat, and the English through the teeth. Books and papers were formerly sold ouly at stalls, and the dealers therefore came to be called stationers. A poker laid av.T a fire concentrates tbe heat of the passing smoke, and creates a draft thro- the fire. Water is called hard,wben from containing too much carbonic acid, it holds in solution. A pound of wbeaten flour consists of bran, three ounces, starch ten ounces, gluten three quarters of an ounce, aud sugar one qr. The spring- of a watch weighs 0.15 of a grain, nnd a pound of steel makes 50,000: a pound of steel cost:; 3d, and a single spring 2d, eo that 50,000 produces £416. Turnpikes were so called from poles or bars swung on a staple, turned either way when the dues were paid.— Children lose weight during the first three days after birth; at the age of aweek they sensibly increase; after one year they triple weightjthey then require six years to double their strength, ¡md thirteen to quadruple it. Condemnation oe Schoolboys! The Council of War in session at itfantua, Italy.bas condemned nine schoolboys of Owtiglia, to imprisonment in irons for "uttering subversive language!" Eight of them from 12 to 15 years of age, were afterwards pardoned on account of their youth and previous good conduct. What a small breath of wind it takes to make earth's tyrants tremble ! Nino small schoolboys can do it! Up, brave Italy, the day of thy deliverance draweth nigh. Eight children were graciously pardoned. 8@-.-í Halifax paper announces the decease of Rebecca, relict of Dr J. W. Almon, at the age of 90. She was the daughter of llev. Mather Bytes, of Boston memory, and was great grand niece of Dr Cotton J/ather, whose father was the first President of Harvard College.^ At the time of the evacuation of Boston by the British troops, she, with her father, left for Nova Seotia. j8j¡S™A grave digger in France, recently, in throwing up some earth, came upou a body in a state of perfect pieservation. On examination, it proved to be that of an individual buried thirty seven years before. He had died from the effects of the bite ofa mad dog. The coffin and shroud bad fallen to dust, but tho body remained intact. 11, Hobes, tbe American, in three minutes, recently, in London, picked the premium lock which had been awarded a prize of £10 from the !Society of Arts, Mr Chubb, the celebrated locksmith, presiding- Mr Hobbs opened it in the presence of the society, with a needle aud this strip of steel. ■BSsT'Gen Villanal, Charge dTAffaires from Fcoador, in Washington, has effected a saie of Carlos Island, in the Gallipagos group, to tho ¿Mcrmonfc.

Full text | gunos años de ruwft.. que estaba cuerdo y en su entero juicio, y -esta imaginación escribió el Arzobispo, suplicándole encarecidamente y con muy cortadas razones le mandase sacar de aquella miseria en que vivía, pues por la misericordia do Dios habia ya cobrado cl juicio perdido; pero que aus parientes, por ganar dc la parte do su hacienda, le tenian alli, y a pesar de la verdad querían qne fuese loco hasta la muerte. El Arzobispo, persuadido do muchos billetes con- .aertados y discretos, mandó a un capellán suyo se informase del ííetor do la casa si era verdad lo qne e,:¡uel .Licenciado le escribía, y que así eniscr.o hablase con el loco, y q\i¿j si la pareciese qua tenia juicio, le sacase y pusiese en libertad. Hizolo así el capellán, y el Eetor le dijo ■que aquel hombre aun estaba loco, que puesto que hablaba muchas veces .como persona de grande entendimiento, al cabo disparaba con tantas necedades, oue en .muchos y en grandes igualaban a sus primeros discreciones, como se podía hacer la esperiencia habiéndole. Quiso hacerla el capellán, y poniéndole con .el loop, habló con él una hora, y mas, y en todo aquel tiempo jamas el loco dijo razón torcida ni disparatada; antes habló tan atentamente, que el capellán fue forzado a creer que el loco estaba cuerdo; y otras cosas que el loco le dijo, fue que ei Retor le tenia.ojeriza, por no perder los regalos que sus parientes le hacían, porque dijese que aun estaba loco y coa lucidos intervalos, y que el mayor contrario que en su desgracia tenía, era su niuclni .hacienda, pues por gozar de ella sus enemigos ponían dolo, y dudaban de la merced que nuestro S-.'ñor le había hecho en volverle de bestia en hombre. Finalmente él habló de manota que hizo sospechosos al Retor, codiciosos y desalmados a sus parientes, y a él tan discreto, que el ca;: e- lian se determinó a llevársele consigo a que el Arzobispo lo viese, y tocase con la mano la verdad de aquel negocio. Con esta buena fé el capellán pidió al Retor mandase dar los vestidos con que'allí habia entrado ol Licenciado volvió a decir el Retor que mirase lo que hacia porque sin duda alguna el Licenciado aun estaba loco. No sirvieron de nada para con el .capellán las prevenciones y advertimientos del Üetor, para que dejase de llevarle : obedeció .el Retor, viendo ser orden del Arzobispo: pusieron al Licenciado sus vestidos, que eran nuevos y decentes, y como él s.e vio vestido d£ en- .erdj y desnudo de loco, suplicó al capellán que por caridad le diese licencia para ir a des- -cedirse de sus companeros los locos. El cape lian dijo que él lequeria acompañar, y ver los l°cos que en la casa habia. Snbíéron en efeto, y con .ellos algunos que £e hallaron presentes: y llegada) el Licenciado a una jaula, adonde estaba un loco furioso, aunque entonces sosegado y quieto, le dijo : hermano mío, miro si me manda algo, que me voy a mí casn, que ya Dios ha sido servido por su infinita bondad y oiisericordiíi. sin yo merecerlo, de volverme mi juicio; ya estoy sano y .cuerdo, que acerca del poder de Dios ninguna cosa es imposible .: tenga grande esperanza y cen fianza en él, que pues a mí me ha vuelto a mi primero estado, también lo volverá a él, si en el confia : yo tendré cuidado de enviarlo algunos regalos que coma, y cómalos en todo caso, qne le hago saber quo imagino, como quien a pasad'} por ello, que todas nuestras locuras proceden de tener los estómagos vacíos, y los celebros llenos de aire: esfuércese, esfuércese, que el descaecimiento en los infortunios apoca la salud y acarrea la muerte. Todas estas razones del licenciado escucho otro loco, que estaba eu otro jaula enfrente de la del furioso; y levantándose de una estera vieja, dondo estaba echado y desnudo en cueros pregunto a grandes voces, ¿ quien era el que iba sano y cuerdo? Ei Licenciado respondió: yo soy hermano, ei que me voy, que ya no tengo,necesidad de estar mas aqui, por io que doy infinitas gracias a los ciólos que tan gran merced me han hecho. Mirad lo que dices Licenciado, no os engaño el diablo, replicó el loco, sosegad el pie y estaos quieto en esta casa ya horrareis la vuelta. Vo se que estoy bueno replicó el Licenciado, y no habrá para que tornar a andar estaciones. ¿ Vos bueno 1 dijo el loco: agora bien, ello dirá andad con Dios; pero yo os votó a Jupiter, cuya majestad yo represento en la tierra, que por solo esto pecado que hoy comete Sevilla con sacaros de esta casa tengo de hacer un tal castigo en ella que quede memoria del por todo3 los siglos de los siglos amen, i No sabes tu lícenciadillo menguado, que lo podre hacer pues como digo soy Jupiter Temante tengo rayos abrasadores con que pm amenazar y distiuír ej mundo Pero con solo una cosa quiero castigar a este ignorante pueblo, y es con no llover en el, ni en todo su distrito y .contorno, por tres años enteros, que se han de .contar desdo el dia y punto que ha sido hecha L'Pnop l s¡Y ■*v$v'(i~ ' Jo£.if ■ CERVANTES. Ji^F*Cartas de Alexandria, Ejipto, del 21 de Junio, anuncian que ese dia se habia abierto la comunicación de Cairo á Alexandria, per ferro-carril; es esí.9 el primero que se ha consfcrnído en áfrica. Va incidente un ia vida da Tre* ¿Fingered Jack* Un corresponsal del digirió de Stockton publica el siguiente incidente eomo un rasgo his: turico, que hace formar una idea .del carácter del conocido por Juan de ires dedos, En la batalla de Salinas, se distinguió de ; demás eomo enemigo de ios Americanos, y después do la batalla, mereció la admiración de los Californios- que lo denominaron valiente entre los valientes. El fué ,el Comandante de la partida que tantos estragos hizo en la compañía del Capstan Burroughs. Un tal Cris, tino Chancey que .estaba cerca del Capitán Foster, cuando cayó muerto, me dijo poco después, que Jack dc los tres dedos era el que habia muerto al Capitán Burroughs y que se habia apoderado del caballo y la silla en que este montaba. Este caballo, era el famoso '-Sacramento" de color bayo, que habia sido regalado por el [Capitán Sutter al Coronel Fremont, mucho tiempoantes. El caballo, desconociendo a sus nuevos compañeros, volvió al campamento Americano. Diez y ocho meses después do este encuentro estuvo Yack en ./Monterey y fué cuando lo vi por la primera vez: parecía tener cerno 28 años de edad, y su fisonomía era sumamente desagradable y repugnante; supe que hacia poco tiempo que habia regresado de Méjico, adonde habia sido empleadocomo vaquero por cierto general, que había ido allá, con el objeto de levantar un ejercito de veinte y cinco mil hombres, para reconquistar California. Durante su permanencia en Monterey, donde se reunió con un antiguo camarada llamado Federico de la Montaña, supo que el famoso caballo Sacramento, se habia reunido a la caballada mesteña y gozaba de dulce libertad en los estensos llanos de San Joaq.uin. Entonces, salió de aquel pueblo acompañado de varios otros,prometiendo que no regresaría hasta no ha ber cautivado al noble animal; cumplió fielmen te su promesa,pucs a el jamas se le volvió a ver en Monterey, y el caballo recorre &un libre las bastas llanuras. El Loto y el perro flaco, Distante déla Aldea, Iba cazando un Perro Flaco, que parecía Un andante Esqueleto. Cuando menos lo piensa, Un Lobo lo hizo preso. Aqui de sus clamores, De sus llantos y rueg Decidme, Señor Lobo, i, Que queréis de mi cuerpo,, Si no tiene otra nosa due huesos y pellejo? Dentro de quince dias Casaa eu hija mi dueño,, Y ha de haber para todos Arros, y Gallo muerto. Tejadme ahora libre; -.Que .pasado este tiempo Podrás comerme a gusto, Lucio, gordo, y relleno. ■Quedaron convenidos; Y apenas se cumplieron Los días señalados, Kl Lobo buscó al Perro, listábase en su casa Con otro compañero, Llamado Matalobos, Mastín de los mas .fieros; Salen a recibirlo Al punto que lo vieron, Matalobos bajaba ■Con corbatín de hierro. No era el Lobo persona De tantos cumplimientos, Y así .por no gastarlos Cedió de su derecho. Huia, y lo llamaban; Mas el iba .diciendo, Con el rabo entre piernas: i Pies para que os quiero ? Hasta los niños saben Que ea de mayor aprecio Un Pájaro en la mano, Que por el aire ciento. Samaniego. El matrimonio, es cl sepulcro del amor. El mas bello adorno de las niñas es el pudor y la modestia. ■ :.Y--"^,- ■"■ 'S • __ ..-oíCJr"*>Ul'>c Tesorero. Procurador general. Agrimensor general. Superintendente de instrucción pública.

V1ÍR¿EST, Unrest! unrest! the passion p.miingeea Watches the unveiled lie;tr,ty of the stars Like n great hungry soul» The unquiet clouds lireak and dissolve, then gather in a mass, Anclfloat like mighty iee-i.iei'o's through, the hluc; Summers, like blushes, sweep the face of earth- Heaven yearns in tears. ' ¿Down comes the frantic rain; We hear the wail ofthe remorseful winds Iu their strange penance. And this wretched orb Knows not the taste of rest- u maniac world. Homeless and sobbing through tlie deep she goes, (gpuGn the 21st of July, the Feast of Saint Louis of G on zaga, there was to have,been a general congregation of Jesuíta at Paris, to nominateanew General, ia place of II. P. Rod' thaan, deceased. The General ofthe Jesuits is appointedfor life,and the powers which devolve upon him. under the Constitution of the Urder are very great. A German named Pierling, will preside over the congregation,having beeu named Vicar General by Rcothaan. during the last days of bis illness. Hf&^TAr Scudder, the Missionary, mentions the interesting fact, that a wealthy native of Calcutta, Baboo Rammohem Mulik, lately repaired to the common jail and released eighty debtors, paying their obligations to the extent of 3.000 rupees. He also spent some 50,000 rupees at the great Carnival which closed in November. Others made magnificent presents to the Brahmins, and one man sacrificed five hundred goats and fifty buffaloes. Three young men lately got adrift in a small boat just above the frightful abyss at Niagara, over which two of them were hurled and dashed to atoms. Tbe third wben near the verge of the abyss, succeeded iu reaching a rock to which he clung till evening. Every effort was made to relieve him, but in vain. After clingirg twenty four hours to a slippery rook he became exhausted by the strength ofthe current and was swept down the cararact- City on the topsof Trees. It ia not ensy to give tbe reader an idea of thia remarkable city, (Amsterdam,) crossed and reerossed by canals in every direction—a city half water and hilf lard—in which the canals are the streets and highways leading towards the open sea, which aeems to hold the city in its arms. Tt is only hy means of expensive and most substantial dykes and sluices,elaborately constructed and carefully repaired and guarded, that the sea is kept back, and but for these, this city, containing upwards of 200,000 inhabitants, would inevitably be submerged and destroyed. Four great canala run across the city in parallel curved lines, and crossing these,are a series of otber canals, converging in the harbor like tbe lines ofa fan. Large basins occur here and there at intervals. The buildings in the best part of the city are magnificent, many of them of great age, bearing rich and grotesque ornamental work on their fronts. You would scarcely believe that the soil under these majestic buildings was only loose sand and soft mud! Yet it is so; and it is only by means of piles of wood driven far down through the sand into the solid stratum beneath, that a foundation has been found. Hence .Erasmus said of Amsterdam, that tbe inhabitants, like crows, lived on the topa of trees. Any onu who merely pays a pnssing visit to Amsterdam, cannot fail to be thrown inte a state of perplexity and maze by the apparent inextricable complicity ofthe city, in innumerable bridges ¡ts endless eucces-sion of canals and interminable brick streets. The canals and bridges so much resemble each other, that the stranger without a guide fuels as if he were wandering in a labyrinth: he loses all recollection of the points of compass; and as I did, be will soon probably lose his way. The most interesting public building in Amsterdam is the Stadthouse, for merly occupied by the famous bank of Amsterdam, but now used as a royal palace. The great, feature of its interior is its grand ball, lined with white Italian marble, s id to be the finest ball of the kind in the world. The smaher apartments ¡n the palace contain some fine modern Dutch paintings, to which the public arc freely admitted. One painting representing the hero, Van Speyk, applying the match to blow up his veesel at Antwerp, rather than allow it to be taken by the Belgians, is one that lives long in tbe memory of him who has seen it. Late prom the Sandwich Islands. The picture of affairs in the Sandwich Islands is gloomy. The small pox is raging with increased virulence, and the unhappy natives are being swept off by thousands. Within aweek there were 527 new cases of the disease officially reported. This was only from one neighborhood and would probably be swelled to six or seven hundred by reports from other districts and islands. The natives are singularly predisposed to take this disease. Their system appears to be so enervated and undermined by hereditary taint that the scourge finds them a ready victim. It is stated in connection with this subject that ten thousand ofthe Islanders were carried off in 1847 by the measles and whooping cough. The cholera would about finish them. The indignation of the people agatnt the King's Ministers who have so long monopolized all power in the Islands, has at length come toa head. A public meeting has been called to remonstrate against the further continuance in power of Messrs Judd and Armstrong. In case the King can summon sufficient resolution to dismiss them, a more liberal and enlightened Ministry may be expected, under which every inducement will be offered to foreigners to settle upon and improve those Islands. Adieu! for o7er thee night hath come; Now hie thee to thy peaceful home, And, slumbering,rest. Stay, till with her expanded wing, Approaching morn .her joys shall bring To all earth's blest. Wake not, wake not, from sweet dream' For beauteous scenes from Heaven shall seem To visit thee- From realms of light, where spirits roam, Some fair, an^tdie form shall come, Thy guide to be. Population of Great Britain. The census of Great Britain for 1850, has just been published in two thick volumes. The number uf people returned was 21,123.907, of whom 10,385,048 were males, and 10,725,919 were females, thus giving the ladies the advantage. There are 17,150 towns, villages, etc, in Great Britain. The population of Ireland is 0,000, 000 souls! The Jewish Nation adhere with singular pertinacity to the faith of their fathere,and are devoted to their ancient ritea and ceremoniea. As an EevidtncQ of thia it ia stated that the ''London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews," after twenty yeara labor, the erection of a church on Mount Zion.and expenditure of vast sums; after eBtabliahing a mission presided over by a Bishop, and endowed by tbe joint efforts of the Kingdoms of Pruseia and England, has gained only thirtv eeren Jewish converts. .During the whole of last year the result of its labor was tho conversion of one Jew. The cost of thia one convert was the annual outlay, at Jerusalem alone, besides the Bishop's stipend, of $1228 expended on the mission, £445 on the church, 1173 pounds on the Hospital, and 400 pounds (we beg pardon, 3991. la. lid) on the House of Industry. The Jerusalem Mission, then—if we add to its cost the 12001. per annum paid to Bishop Gobat,ari- sing from the endowment—has actually in the past year baptized converts at the moderate rate of £444 4s. 2d. per head. £52?"Speaking of Secretary Guthrie, who accompanied the President to the opening of the New York Crystal Palace, the Herald says: "Secretary Guthrie is, perhaps, the plainest Kentucky farmer 1-mking man, that was ever at the bead of the Treasury Department. Ha looks as if he had lived in the Western back- wood,i ail his life, and bad just come over the AI legan iea to see something of the wonders of civilization on the seaboard. He might pasa for David Crockett redivivus. His little eye, hia strongly marked agricultural countenance, hia muscular, rawboned Herculian figure, heavy ungainly gait and drowsy somnolescent style of conversation, would hardly warrant the presumption tbat he is one of the most distinguished lawyers of Kentucky. He speaka familiarly upon subjects upon which ore might think he had never heard, and here, in New YorBi was not a whit more disconcerted by tha sp'endid things around him than a Camanche Indian." The New Mail Route. The contract entered into by the Postmaster General with Col Ramsay & Co , for the transportation of maila from New York and San Francisco, went into operation Jast Monday. By thia new arrangement which gains some 2000 miles of ocean route, the express mail leaves Vera Cruz on tha Atlantic, and Acapulco on the Pacific, on tho 4th and ISth of each month, meeting at Mita- pee, a central point in the interior, and distant from each of those ports about 36 hours making the hind route across the republic only 72 hours. When the lino is in good working order it is expected to reduce the distance of time between New Orleans and San Francisco to twelve days. Gen Santa Anna ia most fa. vorably dispjsed towards the project, and the alcaldes along the line have been directed to afford the contractors and their servants every facility. [N. Y. Herald. Western Eloquence. A Wisconsin lawyer commenced an address to the court in the following style: "The court wil! please to observe that the gentleman from the east has given ua a very learned speech. He has roamed with old Romulus, soaked with old Socrates, ripped with Euripides, canted with old Cantharides ; but what, your honor, does he know abut the laws of Wisconsin?1' Coriocs Information. 'Ihe French speak in the nose, tbe Germans in the throat, and the English through the teeth. Books and papers were formerly sold ouly at stalls, and the dealers therefore came to be called stationers. A poker laid av.T a fire concentrates tbe heat of the passing smoke, and creates a draft thro- the fire. Water is called hard,wben from containing too much carbonic acid, it holds in solution. A pound of wbeaten flour consists of bran, three ounces, starch ten ounces, gluten three quarters of an ounce, aud sugar one qr. The spring- of a watch weighs 0.15 of a grain, nnd a pound of steel makes 50,000: a pound of steel cost:; 3d, and a single spring 2d, eo that 50,000 produces £416.
