A copy of probably the only number of this jours is in the the State paper office in London. It is dated September 25, 1690—a sheet of four quarto ges one of which was blank. It was devoted to a record of passing eventse—foreign and domestic. It was spoken of by the Legislative authorities asa pamphlet, which “came out con to law, and contained reflections of a very hi nature.’ This pioneer journal was printed Richard Pierce, for Benjamin Harris. In 1690, Gov. Fletcher, of New York, caused Wm. Bradford—who came to this country with William Penn—to re-print a London Gazette, uae an account ofan engagement with the French. But the first regular American newspaper was undoubtedly the “Boston News Letter,” which was commenced on the 24th of April, 1704, by John Campbell, a Scotchman, who was the Postmaster of Boston, and also a Bookseller. It was twelve inches by eight, two pages folio, with two columns on each page, and printed in small pica type. The publisher set forth its claims as follows: ‘This News Letter is to be continued Weekly; and all persons who have any Houses, Lands, Tenements, Farms, Ships, Vessels, Goods Wares or Merchandise, &c., to be sold or let, or Servants Runaway, or Goods Stole or Lost, may have the same inserted ata reasonable rate, from twelve pence or five shillings, and not to exceed; who may agree with John Campbell, Postmaster.” Notwithstanding these sirong inducements to advertisers, the News Letter did not abound with advertisements, for sometimes it had one but about as often none. At the end of fourteen years, the circulation of the paper was only three hundred copies. When it was sixteen years old, the publisher gave notice that copies would be printed on a whole sheet of letter paper, one half of which would be blank, on which letters might be written. In 1719, a new postmaster had been appointed, and in December of that year, he started the second Anglo-American newspaper—the “Boston Gazette,’’—William Brooker, proprietor.— The last News Letter took umbrage—(something that does not need shaking before taking) —at the “introductory advertisement” of the Gazette, and this was the exciting cause of the first of those terrible newspaper wars that-now so frequently convulse editors and communities in this country. The third American newspaper, was the “American Mercurie,’’ which appeared in Phil. adelphia, on the 22d of December, 1719, from the printing office that Wm. Bradford had established, and which was then under the control of hisson. The fourth—the “New England Courant’’?— was established at Boston, August 18th, 1721, by James Franklin, elder brother to Ben, the immortal. Mr. Franklin, as a reason for a third newspaper in Boston, stated that the News Letter was “a dull vehicle of Intelligence;’’ whereupon, Campbell said Franklin “was a jack of all trades and good at none.’’ The Courant responded tartly in what the News called “hobbling verse.” This war of words stimulated Campbell to publish his Letter for two months on a whole sheet. In 1722, Campbell sold his par to B. Green, who died in 1733, when John raper, his son-in-law, took it and continued its publication until 1744, when he died, and his widow continued its publication until 1776. It was then discontinued. The Boston Gazette, with various publishers, was continued till 1752. : Franklin was an independent man in spirit, if not in purse—and the Courant was an out-spoken paper. The Legislative Council accordingly took the Courant into consideration, and its publisher was imprisoned for four weeks, but this did not crush the spirit of the journal, the Council insisted that the contents should be survised by the Secretary of the Province.— ranklin refused to submit his “‘copy,’’ and the perce was issued with the nameof Benjamin ranklin as publisher, who was then an apprentice in his brother’s office. The Courant died in 1727. The fifth Anglo-American newspaper—the “New York Gazette’ '-appeared Oct. 16, 1725, printed by William Bradford, who, though at that time sixty-five years old, continued to publish it seventeen years, when he sold it to Jas. Parker. Files of it are to be seen in the library of the New York Historical Society, and it is said to be aneat specimen of typography.— Printers’ Register. Temrest at Los AnGeLEs.—On Wednesday, our locality was visited by a tempest of such violence, long continuance, and its effects so destructive, as seldom before has been experienced by even that much revered individual; the oldest inhabitant. In the morning, the usual breeze sprung up, but before two o’clock it gave indications of becoming a gale. From that time it increased in violence, and by noon it raged, a furious tempest. Nor did it abate its fury till night shrouded the earth in darkness. The dust and sand were lifted from the earth, and carried along, a continued cloud, enveloped everything, and obscuring every object from sight. The houses on the sem side of the street at times could not be discerned. All travel on the roads was suspended. So thick was the cloud of sand, that from noon the sun became obscured. Teamsters could not keep the road, all efforts to guide their animals being fruitless. Many of them could not find out, even by groping onthe ground, whether they were on the road or on the open plain. In the city, awnings disappeared in the early part of the day. Houses were unroofed; sheds, stalls and stables were ruthlessly knocked about. Indeed, nothing but the most substantial buildings resisted the storm. Infact, from the beach at San Pedro to the . coast range of mountains, nothing was visible but clouds of sand. The worst of it is, that the sand was deposited in places several feet deep onthe pasture lands, thus inflicting the severest calamity on stock-owners, by depriving the cattle of what little food they were able hitherto to pick off the already parched and bare pasture grounds. pM amount of injury in this district is incaleuable. Such a miserable, melancholy day has not be. fore been experienced, and we hope we hever again shall be called upon to endure so disagreeable an infliction. A similar tempest, but not so violent, occurred in this vicinity, in March, 1845, rendered memorable by being the day on which was fought the battle of Cahuenga, between the Californians under Pico, and Miche}torena’s forces, —Los Angeles Star. : How to Know Tuem.—The best and most certain method we know of to tell what a man’s . Los Angeles, he had journeyed alone and on litical opinions are, is to look at his hat—if it . foot. s new, the chances are ten to one that he isa democrat; if his boots are also new. you need . make no enquiries about him, but ect him down City and County Physician at San Francieco, ‘as certain.— Marysville Express. i Central American Combinations. A correspondent of the San Francisco Jerald, writing from Granada, says : The hostile relations existing between Nicaragua, and the t Governments have peSin sented © threatening aspect the rash invasion and humiliating exodus of the Costa Rican army. The abdication and flight of President Rivas tended to aggravate the disorder of the tc Al pe to menace it with violent civil and po! eruptions, The unwarrantable treachery of the chief officer of the Government and a majority of the ministers of State, and the capture and execation of Salazar, the master spirit of the treasonable factionists, were euch of crime and retribution as could not fail to provoke the mutual animosity of the betrayer and betrayed, and inspire an bn emulation for retaliatory recompense. Nicaraguan traitors, with characteristic ingratitude, arraying themselves against their American allies and benefactors, wooed the sympathy and substantial aid of the neighboring States of Central America, with the perfidious design of expelling from the countr those whom their necessities required; the ma contents and conspirators succeeded in effecting an offensive and defensive. league with Guatemala and San Salvador, and a contribution of forces was levied from each of those States to unite in waging an exterminating war agninst the Americans in Nicaragua. That the despotic government of Carrera should have affiliated with the project of opposing the growth and prosperity of liberal institutions is compatible with allits antecedent history, but that San Salvador, the centre of liberalism, the first always in Central American reform, and years ago ambitious of annexing its fortunes and identifying its fame with the great Republic of the North, should co-operate in a war so wholly opposite and repugnant to all its former aspirations, is strange and inexplicable. The fact however, exists, and San Salvador, uniting with Guatemala, its hereditary foe, has precipitated a war with the Patriot party of Wcaranne, its hereditary friends and allies. The negotiations of the Rivas ge et faction, resulted in the forced levy of a thousand troops from Guatemala, four hundred from San Salvador, to which was added six hundred from Leon—the head-quarters of the conspirators—and a few hundred Legitimatists or Chamorristas from the different towns and haciendas of Nicaragua. Murper axp Roppery on THE PLatns.—On Thursday of last week, a man by the name of Paul Morely arrived in Placerville, says the American, from off the Plains in a very destitute condition. Mr. Morely left Salt Lake with some fifteen companions, who with him furnished teams, and were near the Sink of the Humboldt on the 15th Oct., when during the night, they were attacked by a large band of Indians, headed by two white men. They resisted to the best advantage. Two of their companions were killed during the night, and after daylight, two more, he others then fled. Mr.: Moreily was driving a team, and when the savages got all the party had besides, they took the team he was in charge of, stripped him entirely naked and permitted him to proceed.— Mr. M. traveled in this condition some four days without food—he finally obtained some clothing but no shoes—when he arrived at the trading post of Mr. Black.

Russ1a.—The St. Petersburg correspondence of the London Post says: “A joint stock company has just been formed at St. Petersburg, under something more than overnment patronage; for the greater part of the shares have already been taken by various members of the Imperial family, and by some of the more ancient and powerful Russian nobility. Twenty commercial screw steamers of the largest class, are to be built in the first instance, Some of them will be constructed in America, some in England, and a few in the Gulf of Finland.”’ The discovery of coal, of a most excellent quality, in the Ural Mountains, in Russia, is confirmed beyond doubt. A Srricmue Conrirmation or Scriprure.—One of the most interesting of the monuments of ancient Rome, is the triumphal arch erected to commemorate the conquest of Jerusalem by Titus, who efter the destruction of the temple, made a triumphant march to Rome, bringing with him a long train of captive Jews, and the ils, among which were the sacred vessels of the temple. This procession is represented in the sculptures on the beautiful arch, which thus furnish an illustration of the Bible no where else to be found, these being the only representations that exist of the sacred vessels, the table of the shew-bread, the golden candlestick with its seven branches, and the silver trumpets used by the priests to proclaim the year of jubilee.— The Roman Senate and people little thought . when they erected this monument to a defied emperor, that they were erecting a monument to the true God, in the verification of prophecy and divine history. A recent traveler says, not one of the Jews of Rome, of whom there are about 6,000. willeven at this day pass under the arch of Titus, although it spans one of the thoroughfares of the city; they shun it as a memorial of the subjugation of their nation. which has never been retrieved, and regard it with aversion.

He steps alertly by, watching everybody. Charles A. Dana, the chief editor of the New York Tribune jaman of rough, strong intellect, tremendous prejudices firmly relied on, and excellent inven. tion. Down on the other side goes one with a dry, spare, hard visage, black eyes, and huge white . beard of somewhat ragged appearance. He strides along regardlessly, and rapidly—a book in his hand, a thought—and more too— inside of his head, a most rustical straw hat outside of it, turned sharp up behind and down before, like a country boy’s, and a summer coat streaming fiag-like from his shoulders. It is William C, Bryant, The white bearded scrawny striding old gentleman is, if not our foremost and noblest poet, abreast with the most; and moreover, a strong, valient, and uncompromising—and more yet, and rarer—an absolutely fair and courteous, political newspaper editor, on what side it is unnecessary to say,” A Questiox.—The following question is now before the Hitchabobpackwack debating society: “Which has ruined the most men—giving credit or getting trusted?’ We shouldn’t wonder if this led to a considerable wrangle.

A copy of probably the only number of this jours is in the the State paper office in London. It is dated September 25, 1690—a sheet of four quarto ges one of which was blank. It was devoted to a record of passing eventse—foreign and domestic. It was spoken of by the Legislative authorities asa pamphlet, which “came out con to law, and contained reflections of a very hi nature.’ This pioneer journal was printed Richard Pierce, for Benjamin Harris. In 1690, Gov. Fletcher, of New York, caused Wm. Bradford—who came to this country with William Penn—to re-print a London Gazette, uae an account ofan engagement with the French. But the first regular American newspaper was undoubtedly the “Boston News Letter,” which was commenced on the 24th of April, 1704, by John Campbell, a Scotchman, who was the Postmaster of Boston, and also a Bookseller. It was twelve inches by eight, two pages folio, with two columns on each page, and printed in small pica type. The publisher set forth its claims as follows: ‘This News Letter is to be continued Weekly; and all persons who have any Houses, Lands, Tenements, Farms, Ships, Vessels, Goods Wares or Merchandise, &c., to be sold or let, or Servants Runaway, or Goods Stole or Lost, may have the same inserted ata reasonable rate, from twelve pence or five shillings, and not to exceed; who may agree with John Campbell, Postmaster.” Notwithstanding these sirong inducements to advertisers, the News Letter did not abound with advertisements, for sometimes it had one but about as often none. At the end of fourteen years, the circulation of the paper was only three hundred copies. When it was sixteen years old, the publisher gave notice that copies would be printed on a whole sheet of letter paper, one half of which would be blank, on which letters might be written. In 1719, a new postmaster had been appointed, and in December of that year, he started the second Anglo-American newspaper—the “Boston Gazette,’’—William Brooker, proprietor.— The last News Letter took umbrage—(something that does not need shaking before taking) —at the “introductory advertisement” of the Gazette, and this was the exciting cause of the first of those terrible newspaper wars that-now so frequently convulse editors and communities in this country. The third American newspaper, was the “American Mercurie,’’ which appeared in Phil. adelphia, on the 22d of December, 1719, from the printing office that Wm. Bradford had established, and which was then under the control of hisson. The fourth—the “New England Courant’’?— was established at Boston, August 18th, 1721, by James Franklin, elder brother to Ben, the immortal. Mr. Franklin, as a reason for a third newspaper in Boston, stated that the News Letter was “a dull vehicle of Intelligence;’’ whereupon, Campbell said Franklin “was a jack of all trades and good at none.’’ The Courant responded tartly in what the News called “hobbling verse.” This war of words stimulated Campbell to publish his Letter for two months on a whole sheet. In 1722, Campbell sold his par to B. Green, who died in 1733, when John raper, his son-in-law, took it and continued its publication until 1744, when he died, and his widow continued its publication until 1776. It was then discontinued. The Boston Gazette, with various publishers, was continued till 1752. : Franklin was an independent man in spirit, if not in purse—and the Courant was an out-spoken paper. The Legislative Council accordingly took the Courant into consideration, and its publisher was imprisoned for four weeks, but this did not crush the spirit of the journal, the Council insisted that the contents should be survised by the Secretary of the Province.— ranklin refused to submit his “‘copy,’’ and the perce was issued with the nameof Benjamin ranklin as publisher, who was then an apprentice in his brother’s office. The Courant died in 1727. The fifth Anglo-American newspaper—the “New York Gazette’ '-appeared Oct. 16, 1725, printed by William Bradford, who, though at that time sixty-five years old, continued to publish it seventeen years, when he sold it to Jas. Parker. Files of it are to be seen in the library of the New York Historical Society, and it is said to be aneat specimen of typography.— Printers’ Register. Temrest at Los AnGeLEs.—On Wednesday, our locality was visited by a tempest of such violence, long continuance, and its effects so destructive, as seldom before has been experienced by even that much revered individual; the oldest inhabitant. In the morning, the usual breeze sprung up, but before two o’clock it gave indications of becoming a gale. From that time it increased in violence, and by noon it raged, a furious tempest. Nor did it abate its fury till night shrouded the earth in darkness. The dust and sand were lifted from the earth, and carried along, a continued cloud, enveloped everything, and obscuring every object from sight. The houses on the sem side of the street at times could not be discerned. All travel on the roads was suspended. So thick was the cloud of sand, that from noon the sun became obscured. Teamsters could not keep the road, all efforts to guide their animals being fruitless. Many of them could not find out, even by groping onthe ground, whether they were on the road or on the open plain. In the city, awnings disappeared in the early part of the day. Houses were unroofed; sheds, stalls and stables were ruthlessly knocked about. Indeed, nothing but the most substantial buildings resisted the storm. Infact, from the beach at San Pedro to the . coast range of mountains, nothing was visible but clouds of sand. The worst of it is, that the sand was deposited in places several feet deep onthe pasture lands, thus inflicting the severest calamity on stock-owners, by depriving the cattle of what little food they were able hitherto to pick off the already parched and bare pasture grounds. pM amount of injury in this district is incaleuable. Such a miserable, melancholy day has not be. fore been experienced, and we hope we hever again shall be called upon to endure so disagreeable an infliction. A similar tempest, but not so violent, occurred in this vicinity, in March, 1845, rendered memorable by being the day on which was fought the battle of Cahuenga, between the Californians under Pico, and Miche}torena’s forces, —Los Angeles Star. : How to Know Tuem.—The best and most certain method we know of to tell what a man’s .

A correspondent of the San Francisco Jerald, writing from Granada, says : The hostile relations existing between Nicaragua, and the t Governments have peSin sented © threatening aspect the rash invasion and humiliating exodus of the Costa Rican army. The abdication and flight of President Rivas tended to aggravate the disorder of the tc Al pe to menace it with violent civil and po! eruptions, The unwarrantable treachery of the chief officer of the Government and a majority of the ministers of State, and the capture and execation of Salazar, the master spirit of the treasonable factionists, were euch of crime and retribution as could not fail to provoke the mutual animosity of the betrayer and betrayed, and inspire an bn emulation for retaliatory recompense. Nicaraguan traitors, with characteristic ingratitude, arraying themselves against their American allies and benefactors, wooed the sympathy and substantial aid of the neighboring States of Central America, with the perfidious design of expelling from the countr those whom their necessities required; the ma contents and conspirators succeeded in effecting an offensive and defensive. league with Guatemala and San Salvador, and a contribution of forces was levied from each of those States to unite in waging an exterminating war agninst the Americans in Nicaragua. That the despotic government of Carrera should have affiliated with the project of opposing the growth and prosperity of liberal institutions is compatible with allits antecedent history, but that San Salvador, the centre of liberalism, the first always in Central American reform, and years ago ambitious of annexing its fortunes and identifying its fame with the great Republic of the North, should co-operate in a war so wholly opposite and repugnant to all its former aspirations, is strange and inexplicable. The fact however, exists, and San Salvador, uniting with Guatemala, its hereditary foe, has precipitated a war with the Patriot party of Wcaranne, its hereditary friends and allies. The negotiations of the Rivas ge et faction, resulted in the forced levy of a thousand troops from Guatemala, four hundred from San Salvador, to which was added six hundred from Leon—the head-quarters of the conspirators—and a few hundred Legitimatists or Chamorristas from the different towns and haciendas of Nicaragua. Murper axp Roppery on THE PLatns.—On Thursday of last week, a man by the name of Paul Morely arrived in Placerville, says the American, from off the Plains in a very destitute condition. Mr. Morely left Salt Lake with some fifteen companions, who with him furnished teams, and were near the Sink of the Humboldt on the 15th Oct., when during the night, they were attacked by a large band of Indians, headed by two white men. They resisted to the best advantage. Two of their companions were killed during the night, and after daylight, two more, he others then fled. Mr.: Moreily was driving a team, and when the savages got all the party had besides, they took the team he was in charge of, stripped him entirely naked and permitted him to proceed.— Mr. M. traveled in this condition some four days without food—he finally obtained some clothing but no shoes—when he arrived at the trading post of Mr. Black. Other emigrants have also suffered. Russ1a.—The St. Petersburg correspondence of the London Post says: “A joint stock company has just been formed at St. Petersburg, under something more than overnment patronage; for the greater part of the shares have already been taken by various members of the Imperial family, and by some of the more ancient and powerful Russian nobility. Twenty commercial screw steamers of the largest class, are to be built in the first instance, Some of them will be constructed in America, some in England, and a few in the Gulf of Finland.”’ The discovery of coal, of a most excellent quality, in the Ural Mountains, in Russia, is confirmed beyond doubt. A Srricmue Conrirmation or Scriprure.—One of the most interesting of the monuments of ancient Rome, is the triumphal arch erected to commemorate the conquest of Jerusalem by Titus, who efter the destruction of the temple, made a triumphant march to Rome, bringing with him a long train of captive Jews, and the ils, among which were the sacred vessels of the temple. This procession is represented in the sculptures on the beautiful arch, which thus furnish an illustration of the Bible no where else to be found, these being the only representations that exist of the sacred vessels, the table of the shew-bread, the golden candlestick with its seven branches, and the silver trumpets used by the priests to proclaim the year of jubilee.— The Roman Senate and people little thought . when they erected this monument to a defied emperor, that they were erecting a monument to the true God, in the verification of prophecy and divine history. A recent traveler says, not one of the Jews of Rome, of whom there are about 6,000. willeven at this day pass under the arch of Titus, although it spans one of the thoroughfares of the city; they shun it as a memorial of the subjugation of their nation. which has never been retrieved, and regard it with aversion. The following from the New York [fe Jllustrated, embraces two of its rough and tumble sketches of characters that appear in the streets of New York : “A straight, trim-built, prompt, vigorous man well-dressed, with long brown hair, beard and moustache, and a quick watchful eye. He steps alertly by, watching everybody. Charles A. Dana, the chief editor of the New York Tribune jaman of rough, strong intellect, tremendous prejudices firmly relied on, and excellent inven. tion. Down on the other side goes one with a dry, spare, hard visage, black eyes, and huge white . beard of somewhat ragged appearance. He strides along regardlessly, and rapidly—a book in his hand, a thought—and more too— inside of his head, a most rustical straw hat outside of it, turned sharp up behind and down before, like a country boy’s, and a summer coat streaming fiag-like from his shoulders. It is William C, Bryant, The white bearded scrawny striding old gentleman is, if not our foremost and noblest poet, abreast with the most; and moreover, a strong, valient, and uncompromising—and more yet, and rarer—an absolutely fair and courteous, political newspaper editor, on what side it is unnecessary to say,” A Questiox.—The following question is now before the Hitchabobpackwack debating society: “Which has ruined the most men—giving credit or getting trusted?’ We shouldn’t wonder if this led to a considerable wrangle.
