It appeals very closely to the interests of the minmining counties, the whole state, and the United States. It is yet an open question, and it should be discussed by miners, and by people generally, until they are satisfied what the best policy is to be pursued in the premises.

Catherine Hayes is a native of Limer\iek, having been born in Patrick street in that city, where she resided with her . mother and sisters up to the period of . her departure for Dublin, to be placed under the care of Signor Antonis Sapio.

Biography of Miss Catherine ter studying here some months, she was advised to proceed to Italy as the best theatre for obtaining the dramatic re~ quirements indispensable for success on the lyric stage. Miss Hayes accordingly went to Milan, where she placed herself under the instruction of Ronconi.— At sone of the re-unions to which she was invited, she met the ence celebrated Grassani, aunt to Madame Grisi, through whose influence she was introduced to Signor Provini, manager of the Italian Opera at Marseilles; she was at onco engaged for three months at that house, where she made her debut in J Puritant. The curtain fell at the close of the opera amid the most enthusiastic plaudits, and upen her re-appearing before them she was greeted with a storm. of applause. ‘The stage was literally filled with boquets, making a perfect flower garden around the embarrassed debutanfe. Her second appearance in ‘Moses in Kigypt,’ confirmed the favorable impression her debut had created; but she still continued her studies under Ions» coni. From Milan, Miss Hayes proceeded to Venice, where she first appeared in Lucia di Lammermoor. Were the excite~ ment incident upon her appearance was unparalleled. Even in that nation, of musicians, the city was perfectly crazy about ‘La Hayes,’ and the critics of the Venctian journals, from whose fiat there is no appeal, pronounced her the greatest of living prima donas, But our limits will not permit us to go into details, though a volume might be filled with an account of the sories of triumphs she passed through. From Venice, she returned to Italy, singing at Bergamo in Lucta, and other grand parts, and also at Florence and Genoa ; at the latter place she met tho truc “Queen of italian Seng,” Catalani, who predicted a wonderful reputation for her. Miss Mayes arrived at London in April, 1849, and immediately made her first appearance at the Royal Italian Opera House. We have thus briefly “only a common red shirted miner,” and . ‘@vellers.

Hayes from the early period when her that the opinion you hold that all legis . of low breeding than loud swearing in lation in reference to the mines should epring from miners, is shared by many others, yet . believe the other side of the question has never been fairly presented, and claim your indulgence for a little space. I concur eutirely with the suggestion made monthsago that the mineral lands should be donated, firstly, because that will settle the question, and let us at once know what to rely on. We need stability. 1f it is objected that a difficulty exists in determining the amount of land to be donated, also in discriminating between the rich and poor lands, I reply that difficulty is not greater than . the boats lowered, but several minutes . where a min is allowed to lecate one or two claims, and buy and hold them, and asmany others as he pleases. Why not give him a legal right at once by donation? Will he have more power to hold from others the mineral lands? It is a false idea that a man shall not get as rich by mining as by other business--that he shalk not monopolize too much wealth, and prevent some other man from enjoying part of it, though that man may not be in Culifornia, er even bern. Secondly, to dwuate will give a poor man the same chance with the rich to get claims and good ones.— It may be said that this donation will give a man a chance to monopolize too mach land rich in gold--it can give no advantage than @ man now has in purchasing. He has that right by priority in water and land, and no matter how much money he may make by it, he holds it as long as he pleases, and sells his right when he is tired of it. A principal objection urged is that it will bring a large part of the people as hirclings under the power of the eapitalists. Not more so than where men have the power to purchase claims, and the best of the ground. Again, people who work by the day, asa general thing make the most money with less risk.— Even if a man had thirty acres of min-~ eral land, when he had built his house, and got his family here settled for life, and got his machinery on the ground and paid for, he would not have a very large amount left to live on the rest of his days, while land wern out at mining is of little account fer cultivation. Furthermore, some bonus should accrue to a man whose health and life is perilled by years of labor in the water at mining, when his labor is a mainspring to keep in motion the entire business of the state.
