Our miners‘are now either thrown out of employment or obliged to seek it in the Rivers and Crecks or in distaut~pla: ces where this great disideratum is to be obtained. The subject of immigration js now being canvassed in San Francisco by its moneyed men. Let me ask: what are these emigrants going to do upun their arrival? If questioned upon the subject, seven out of every ten will answer—mine! And where, pray ? Almost every place in this State has now its full” compliment of men for the advantages it possesses. Some of our capitalists are begining to see the real wants of the country, and are putting a portion of their funds into the building of our ditches and canals, but they are few and far between. Let but the millionares, who have their thousands lying idle, waiting Micawber like “for something to turn up,” take a trip into the mining sections of the State , and see our wants, and recources, and we are satisficd that they would gladly avail themselves of the opportunity of investing . a few hund:eds in the building of our ca-} } nals and ditches.

Worthy says, so early as about 260 vears betore the Christian era, a banker £Sicyon, a ‘city, of Pelponesus, is menioned by Plutareh, in his life of Aratus. His business appears:to have consisted if “xchanging one species of money for anther. The money-ehangers. of Judea, who were driven out of the temple b Christ, were most’ probably of the deserip‘ion mentioncd by Sts Matthew, in the parable of the Talents; that is, such as made a trade of reeeiving money in deposits, and paying interest for it. St. Luke, in bis relation of the samo parable, -xpressly alludes to a banking establishment. From Judea the institution of banks was brought into Europe; and the Lombard Jews are said to have kept benches, or banks, in the market places of Italy, for the exchange of money and bills The bank of Venice, which was the first founded upon an enlarged scale that we are acquainted with, was established about the year 1171, under the appellation of The Chamber of the Loans ;—and the contributors to a torced loan, that had -been raised to meet the exigences of a Venetian war with-the Emperor ofthe East and West, were made creditors of the Chamber, from which they were to receive an annual interest of four per cent. At what period the knowledge of banking was _introduced into this country is unknown: though it may reasonably be conjectured to have been within a short time after the Conquest. There can be no little doubt of its first having been practiced here by the Italian merchants; all of whom, who were engaged in money transactions, were distinguished both in France and England, by the name of Lombards, or of being dispersecause (says An‘1 i hese n ts dorson.)-very convenient agents for the popes, who employed them to receive and jlife, for the reason that the “size of the}remit the large revenues they drew from} . claims, in most of the districts are entirely . every State which acknowledged their too small.

Ses ee Nor a Drop moré, Masor, Un ress Ir’s Sweeten’p.—In8 small village in the Southern section ef our state, resides a certain Major who keeps a small, cosy, comfortable little inn, mous for its sweeten‘d drinks, as well a8 jovial landlord ; and fcw of the surrounding farmers. visit the neighborhood without giving the Major a friendly call to taste his mixtur’, The phiz, round person, bright eye and military’ air, deals out the rations spiced with jokes, which, if. chey are not funny, ore at Icast laughed at for the Major enjoys them so vastly himself that his auditors are fo.ecd to laugh out of pure sympathy. A good old couple who resided about six miles from the Major’s, for » long period had bee» in the habit of visiting him once a month, and as recu‘arly went home dreadfully sweeten’d with the favorite mixtur’, but of late, we learn, the amicable relations ¢xisting betireen the Major and his old visitors have been broken off by grecn-eyed jealousy. On the last visit, good cause was given foran end being put to any more “sweet drinkin’.” “Uncle Merrill, how are you any how,” was the Major’s grecting, “and I declare if the Misses aint with you, too” just as if he expected she wouldn’t come. “What'll you take, Missus ? shall I sweeten you a little of about the best Cincinnati rectified that ever was toted into these ’ere parts? it jest looks as bright as your eyes!” and here the Major winked and looked so sweet there was no resisting, and she did take a little sweeten’d. The hours flew merrily by, and evening found the old couple so overloaded with . sweets, that it was with great difficulty they could be seated on the old gray mare to return home ; but, after many a kind shake from the host, and just another drop of his sweeten’d, off they jogged, see-sawing from side to side on the critter, the old lady muttering her happiness, and the old man too full to find words to express bimself. “Sich another man as that Major,” says she, “‘ain’t nowhere—and sich a mixtur’ as he does make, is temptin’ to temperance lecturers. He is an amazin’ nice man, and, if anything, he sweetens the last drop better than the first. Good gracious! what a pleasin’ creatur’ he is!” Ever and anon these enconiums on the Major and bis mixture broke from the old lady, until of a sudden, on passing a small rivulet, 2 joltof the mare’s silenced them, and the old man rode ona short ‘distance jin perfect quietness. At length he broke out with— “Qld woman, you and that “cre Major's conduct to-day was rayther unbecomin’— his formalities was too sweet to be mistook, and, you aint goin’ thar agin iu a hurry.” ‘Silence,’ was the only answer. ‘Oh, you’re huffy, are you? continued the old man. ‘Well, guess you can stay so, till you give in,” and on he jogged in a silently jealous mood.

There is enough remaining to satisfy the most skeptical of its splendo: Extensive rooms, halls and gardens, ¢lab orate fountains and baths prove thai its proprietor was aman of both taste and wealth. In the long cellars still may be seen the ancient wine jars, and at one point the imprint on the walls of the skeletons of the suddenly smothered family. The apartments on the ground floor appear to have been exquisitely arranged with stuoco and paintings. We walked leisurely through the streets, ever and anon halting to listen to the explanations of our guide, who seemed particularly attentive. The strects are remarkably regular ; more so than those of many of the mcedern cities and towns of Italy. The pavement consist of irregular shaped flat stones, yet admirably preserved. Sidewalks are found in most of the streets, and in all the ecurb-stone is perfect.—-Gutters do not appear to have been in vogue. Many street wells or fountains remain, and from the public baths and bathing rooms in the private mansions, we may presifine that the city was well supplied with w&ter, and that the people were given to clamineede cued cate all of the houses were built. open courts, and there are numerous indications of a devotion to floricultare on the part of the citizens. --Beautifa! mosaic floors siill remain, thouzh it is to be regretted that nearly all the choice relics of 2 moveable nature have been carried off to the Neapolitan and other museums.

Our miners‘are now either thrown out of employment or obliged to seek it in the Rivers and Crecks or in distaut~pla: ces where this great disideratum is to be obtained. The subject of immigration js now being canvassed in San Francisco by its moneyed men. Let me ask: what are these emigrants going to do upun their arrival? If questioned upon the subject, seven out of every ten will answer—mine! And where, pray ? Almost every place in this State has now its full” compliment of men for the advantages it possesses. Some of our capitalists are begining to see the real wants of the country, and are putting a portion of their funds into the building of our ditches and canals, but they are few and far between. Let but the millionares, who have their thousands lying idle, waiting Micawber like “for something to turn up,” take a trip into the mining sections of the State , and see our wants, and recources, and we are satisficd that they would gladly avail themselves of the opportunity of investing . a few hund:eds in the building of our ca-} } nals and ditches.

Worthy says, so early as about 260 vears betore the Christian era, a banker £Sicyon, a ‘city, of Pelponesus, is menioned by Plutareh, in his life of Aratus. His business appears:to have consisted if “xchanging one species of money for anther. The money-ehangers. of Judea, who were driven out of the temple b Christ, were most’ probably of the deserip‘ion mentioncd by Sts Matthew, in the parable of the Talents; that is, such as made a trade of reeeiving money in deposits, and paying interest for it. St. Luke, in bis relation of the samo parable, -xpressly alludes to a banking establishment. From Judea the institution of banks was brought into Europe; and the Lombard Jews are said to have kept benches, or banks, in the market places of Italy, for the exchange of money and bills The bank of Venice, which was the first founded upon an enlarged scale that we are acquainted with, was established about the year 1171, under the appellation of The Chamber of the Loans ;—and the contributors to a torced loan, that had -been raised to meet the exigences of a Venetian war with-the Emperor ofthe East and West, were made creditors of the Chamber, from which they were to receive an annual interest of four per cent. At what period the knowledge of banking was _introduced into this country is unknown: though it may reasonably be conjectured to have been within a short time after the Conquest. There can be no little doubt of its first having been practiced here by the Italian merchants; all of whom, who were engaged in money transactions, were distinguished both in France and England, by the name of Lombards, or of being dispersecause (says An‘1 i hese n ts dorson.)-very convenient agents for the popes, who employed them to receive and jlife, for the reason that the “size of the}remit the large revenues they drew from} . claims, in most of the districts are entirely . every State which acknowledged their too small.

Ses ee Nor a Drop moré, Masor, Un ress Ir’s Sweeten’p.—In8 small village in the Southern section ef our state, resides a certain Major who keeps a small, cosy, comfortable little inn, mous for its sweeten‘d drinks, as well a8 jovial landlord ; and fcw of the surrounding farmers. visit the neighborhood without giving the Major a friendly call to taste his mixtur’, The phiz, round person, bright eye and military’ air, deals out the rations spiced with jokes, which, if. chey are not funny, ore at Icast laughed at for the Major enjoys them so vastly himself that his auditors are fo.ecd to laugh out of pure sympathy. A good old couple who resided about six miles from the Major’s, for » long period had bee» in the habit of visiting him once a month, and as recu‘arly went home dreadfully sweeten’d with the favorite mixtur’, but of late, we learn, the amicable relations ¢xisting betireen the Major and his old visitors have been broken off by grecn-eyed jealousy. On the last visit, good cause was given foran end being put to any more “sweet drinkin’.” “Uncle Merrill, how are you any how,” was the Major’s grecting, “and I declare if the Misses aint with you, too” just as if he expected she wouldn’t come. “What'll you take, Missus ? shall I sweeten you a little of about the best Cincinnati rectified that ever was toted into these ’ere parts? it jest looks as bright as your eyes!” and here the Major winked and looked so sweet there was no resisting, and she did take a little sweeten’d. The hours flew merrily by, and evening found the old couple so overloaded with . sweets, that it was with great difficulty they could be seated on the old gray mare to return home ; but, after many a kind shake from the host, and just another drop of his sweeten’d, off they jogged, see-sawing from side to side on the critter, the old lady muttering her happiness, and the old man too full to find words to express bimself. “Sich another man as that Major,” says she, “‘ain’t nowhere—and sich a mixtur’ as he does make, is temptin’ to temperance lecturers. He is an amazin’ nice man, and, if anything, he sweetens the last drop better than the first. Good gracious! what a pleasin’ creatur’ he is!” Ever and anon these enconiums on the Major and bis mixture broke from the old lady, until of a sudden, on passing a small rivulet, 2 joltof the mare’s silenced them, and the old man rode ona short ‘distance jin perfect quietness. At length he broke out with— “Qld woman, you and that “cre Major's conduct to-day was rayther unbecomin’— his formalities was too sweet to be mistook, and, you aint goin’ thar agin iu a hurry.” ‘Silence,’ was the only answer. ‘Oh, you’re huffy, are you? continued the old man. ‘Well, guess you can stay so, till you give in,” and on he jogged in a silently jealous mood.

In the long cellars still may be seen the ancient wine jars, and at one point the imprint on the walls of the skeletons of the suddenly smothered family. The apartments on the ground floor appear to have been exquisitely arranged with stuoco and paintings. We walked leisurely through the streets, ever and anon halting to listen to the explanations of our guide, who seemed particularly attentive. The strects are remarkably regular ; more so than those of many of the mcedern cities and towns of Italy. The pavement consist of irregular shaped flat stones, yet admirably preserved. Sidewalks are found in most of the streets, and in all the ecurb-stone is perfect.—-Gutters do not appear to have been in vogue. Many street wells or fountains remain, and from the public baths and bathing rooms in the private mansions, we may presifine that the city was well supplied with w&ter, and that the people were given to clamineede cued cate all of the houses were built. open courts, and there are numerous indications of a devotion to floricultare on the part of the citizens. --Beautifa! mosaic floors siill remain, thouzh it is to be regretted that nearly all the choice relics of 2 moveable nature have been carried off to the Neapolitan and other museums.
