H. NICHOLSON, Public Administrator Notiee is hereby given, that on . Foley and the . Lower California, A correspondent of the San Francisco Herald, writing from Mazatlan, furnishes the following interesting information in relation to Lower California, about which, though it borders on . our State, less is known than of the kingdom of Ashanutee : The trade of Lower California has heretofore been monopolized by a few merchants of Mazatlan. The system was to sell goods at treble cost, and take in payment produce at about one-fourth its cash value in Mazatlau, and keep the rancheros constantly in debt; and so beautifully has it worked, that, with the additional misfortunes of alcalde and municipal duties, and two hurricanes, washing down houses and de. stroying crops, the once wealthy rancheros have been reduced to the very verge of starvation. . here is not an inhabited country on this continent of which so little is known correctly, /or published, as of Lower California; and as . within the past year it has been our fortune to . travel much and extensively in’ the country, our ideas concerning it may therefore be enti. tled to credit. With an industrious population . to develop its resorces, its wealth would hardly / be exceeded by that of Upper California, Its salt mines are sufficient to supply the world. . . Were there facilities for loading at Carmen Is. land—such as with little expese could be erec. ted—salt could be put on board ship at two dollars per ton. The pearl fishery, properly and economically conducted, would yield immense proflits, The bays of the coast are swarm_ing with whale in certain seasons, The mountains contain gold, silver, copper, lead, tin, . gypsum, marble, alum and brimstone, and very . probably coal. The entire interior, from La Paz to San Diego, is a derra incognitia, of which absolutely nothing seems to be generally known, with the exception of the northern frontier and a few mountain passes. On the gulf above Molege there are fine timbered lands. Along the coast; north of Magdalena Bay, extends a beautiful and fertile savannah; and Mr. Bartlett, the Boundary Commissioner, who sailed down the gulf, or our army and navy officers who . viewed the country from the top of their fortifications, have been rather too hasty iu their opinion, when they declared that cactus-crown‘ed hills and rocky deserts were all Lower Cal. ifornia could boast of. From La Paz on the Gulf, we travel to Todos Sautos and the Pacific, across a triangular val. ley of from fifty to two hundred tiles in extent. The soil is a light loam mixed with sand, and . its fertility is unsurpassed by any in the world, One erop of Indian corn could berraised annaally, likewise barley, and perhaps wheat; but with artesian wells, sugar plantations would extend from gulf to oceau. ing the winter months there are usually two or three rainy days, at the commencement of sumner rain squalls gather about the mountain . tops, soon after mid-day the sea breeze lulls, aud the coromoc!] comes off the mountains, cool. ing the air for the remainder of the day and . night, and giving the climate that freshness, that peculiar deliciousness, which is at once the boast of natives, aud the joy of residents and passing strangers. The springs are large and numerous, but sink in the light soil soon after leaving the mountains. On the Gull’s Pacific coast they however irrigate some of the finest cane countries, although to little purpose, for hundreds of thousands of acres lay unreclaimed,overrun cactus and vines, The oranges are uurivalled for size and flavor, the vine, fig, aud olive tree grow in profusion. Fifty thousand dollars was advanced by an English mining company to explore the mines of the country, aud the result has been the rediscovery of twenty-three valuble mines that were long since abandoed. The very miserable system hitherto pursued shows mineral richness of the country. Lo the vicinity of San Antonio, the present principal mining locality. the hills are cayoted from top to base, and each individual works on his own account; the miner seeks . a vein of metal, and commences to drift a hole . large enough to squeeze his body in; then he . follows the vein, taking out ore, and abandons . it when the hole becomes too deep to allow him to carry his debris with facility to the surface; he then seeks another vein and goes on as . before. much per cargo. In this connection, it may be mentioned that Mr. Thomas Dowling lately spent some time in San Antonio, exploring the mines, and has now returned to La Paz, preship his ore to San Francisco, Ten tons forwarded some months ago per Kalana, have paid very handsomely. A Mr. Belknap, an old mi. ner, has just arrived from San Francisco and is now exploring the copper mines on the Island . of San Jose, off La Paz Bay, likewise with a . view to operate extensively. If the United States do not wish to see Lower California soon in other than their own or Mexican hands, they had better at once negotiate . for it. The majority of the inhabitents are in . favor of anexation, but lay low for dread of the . authorities. Hintto them that the United States . will assist them, and they will rise to-morrow and despatch every one of their rulers where they long ago ought to have been sent, Scene in A Waeetine Taeater.—Lola Montez has been eclipsed—thrown into the shade. At Wheeling Va‘, recently, at the theater Miss Do. ra Shaw, in the middle of the first scene, (the .

The audience was . astounded—completely dumbfounded at the ex. traordinary conduct on the part of Miss Dora ‘Shaw. Armand, (Mr. Hanchet ) stood quietly looking on during the enactment of this scene, and when it had concluded, he stepped forward, ‘and in a quiet, unraffled manner, proceeded to say that the lady had studiously endeavored to ' render herself disagreeable to himself and the members of the company, and appealed to those present to decide as to the truth of the accusation made by the lady. Mr. Hanchet wound up with the remark that Miss Dora Shaw would never have the honor of appearing before those to whom he was speaking while the theater re/ mained under his management. His remarks were followed by a vociferous demonstration of applause, which indicated for ouce in the world that the sympathy was in the man’s instead of the woman’s favor.

The Professor’s letter is dated New York, May 4. He says: ; With reference to my plan for the introduction of this discovery into California, it is simplified and easy, and calculated to come within the reach of every quartz miner, Avoiding any great offer from any one person for my patent, my plan is to do the greatest good to the greatest: number. I shall encourage the organization of small companies, each one to . have the full enjoyment of all my patents in but one locality, giving them my supervision by sending an expert fotenien and machinist . to keep every set of works in perfect operation, that my reputation and that of my business be protecetd. I shall furnish drawings (alread engraved) for working drawings, &c., for eac full set of works. .My charge for all of this will be $2,000—one-half to be paid wheh I sign the papers, and the other half when the purchasers shall find the works in perfect and profitable working order, which they will be both able and willing to do.

Since October, 1856, the mountain has been occasionally attended with hollow, roaring) sounds, resembling distant thunder, frequently . accompanied with dull explosions. This was not very closely confined to any particular place, but seemed nearly equal for about a mile, extending each way from where the crater of a voloano has since made its appearance. This roaring sound continued, occasionally dying away aud reviving again, until the 15th of . the present mouth, when (after an abatement . so long that it was believed tohave entirely subsided) it became suddenly and unnsually boisterous, and was attended for the first time Faran Avrray.—We. learn from_ the.

It appears that several men were engaged in working a threshing machine on the ranch, when a fight arose between Johu Galvin and another party, about some trivial matter. Bilby interposed to separate the parties, when he received a cut in the abdomen, from a knife-held in the hands of Galvin, which produced his death in a short time. Galvin was arrested and lodged in jail?

H. NICHOLSON, Public Administrator Notiee is hereby given, that on . Foley and the . Lower California, A correspondent of the San Francisco Herald, writing from Mazatlan, furnishes the following interesting information in relation to Lower California, about which, though it borders on . our State, less is known than of the kingdom of Ashanutee : The trade of Lower California has heretofore been monopolized by a few merchants of Mazatlan. The system was to sell goods at treble cost, and take in payment produce at about one-fourth its cash value in Mazatlau, and keep the rancheros constantly in debt; and so beautifully has it worked, that, with the additional misfortunes of alcalde and municipal duties, and two hurricanes, washing down houses and de. stroying crops, the once wealthy rancheros have been reduced to the very verge of starvation. . here is not an inhabited country on this continent of which so little is known correctly, /or published, as of Lower California; and as . within the past year it has been our fortune to . travel much and extensively in’ the country, our ideas concerning it may therefore be enti. tled to credit. With an industrious population . to develop its resorces, its wealth would hardly / be exceeded by that of Upper California, Its salt mines are sufficient to supply the world. . . Were there facilities for loading at Carmen Is. land—such as with little expese could be erec. ted—salt could be put on board ship at two dollars per ton. The pearl fishery, properly and economically conducted, would yield immense proflits, The bays of the coast are swarm_ing with whale in certain seasons, The mountains contain gold, silver, copper, lead, tin, . gypsum, marble, alum and brimstone, and very . probably coal. The entire interior, from La Paz to San Diego, is a derra incognitia, of which absolutely nothing seems to be generally known, with the exception of the northern frontier and a few mountain passes. On the gulf above Molege there are fine timbered lands. Along the coast; north of Magdalena Bay, extends a beautiful and fertile savannah; and Mr. Bartlett, the Boundary Commissioner, who sailed down the gulf, or our army and navy officers who . viewed the country from the top of their fortifications, have been rather too hasty iu their opinion, when they declared that cactus-crown‘ed hills and rocky deserts were all Lower Cal. ifornia could boast of. From La Paz on the Gulf, we travel to Todos Sautos and the Pacific, across a triangular val. ley of from fifty to two hundred tiles in extent. The soil is a light loam mixed with sand, and . its fertility is unsurpassed by any in the world, One erop of Indian corn could berraised annaally, likewise barley, and perhaps wheat; but with artesian wells, sugar plantations would extend from gulf to oceau. ing the winter months there are usually two or three rainy days, at the commencement of sumner rain squalls gather about the mountain . tops, soon after mid-day the sea breeze lulls, aud the coromoc!] comes off the mountains, cool. ing the air for the remainder of the day and . night, and giving the climate that freshness, that peculiar deliciousness, which is at once the boast of natives, aud the joy of residents and passing strangers. The springs are large and numerous, but sink in the light soil soon after leaving the mountains. On the Gull’s Pacific coast they however irrigate some of the finest cane countries, although to little purpose, for hundreds of thousands of acres lay unreclaimed,overrun cactus and vines, The oranges are uurivalled for size and flavor, the vine, fig, aud olive tree grow in profusion. Fifty thousand dollars was advanced by an English mining company to explore the mines of the country, aud the result has been the rediscovery of twenty-three valuble mines that were long since abandoed. The very miserable system hitherto pursued shows mineral richness of the country. Lo the vicinity of San Antonio, the present principal mining locality. the hills are cayoted from top to base, and each individual works on his own account; the miner seeks . a vein of metal, and commences to drift a hole . large enough to squeeze his body in; then he . follows the vein, taking out ore, and abandons . it when the hole becomes too deep to allow him to carry his debris with facility to the surface; he then seeks another vein and goes on as . before. much per cargo. In this connection, it may be mentioned that Mr. Thomas Dowling lately spent some time in San Antonio, exploring the mines, and has now returned to La Paz, preship his ore to San Francisco, Ten tons forwarded some months ago per Kalana, have paid very handsomely. A Mr. Belknap, an old mi. ner, has just arrived from San Francisco and is now exploring the copper mines on the Island . of San Jose, off La Paz Bay, likewise with a . view to operate extensively. If the United States do not wish to see Lower California soon in other than their own or Mexican hands, they had better at once negotiate . for it. The majority of the inhabitents are in . favor of anexation, but lay low for dread of the . authorities. Hintto them that the United States . will assist them, and they will rise to-morrow and despatch every one of their rulers where they long ago ought to have been sent, Scene in A Waeetine Taeater.—Lola Montez has been eclipsed—thrown into the shade. At Wheeling Va‘, recently, at the theater Miss Do. ra Shaw, in the middle of the first scene, (the . Gazette states,) left Armand Duval standing in . the middle of the stage, where the two had been . talking very lovingly together, walked furiously and majestically up to the foot-light, and de. clared that, as she was not properly supported, . she would not play; she gathered up the folds . of her costly dress, scowled upon Armand, and . strode loftily from the stage. The audience was . astounded—completely dumbfounded at the ex. traordinary conduct on the part of Miss Dora ‘Shaw. Armand, (Mr. Hanchet ) stood quietly looking on during the enactment of this scene, and when it had concluded, he stepped forward, ‘and in a quiet, unraffled manner, proceeded to say that the lady had studiously endeavored to ' render herself disagreeable to himself and the members of the company, and appealed to those present to decide as to the truth of the accusation made by the lady. Mr. Hanchet wound up with the remark that Miss Dora Shaw would never have the honor of appearing before those to whom he was speaking while the theater re/ mained under his management. His remarks were followed by a vociferous demonstration of applause, which indicated for ouce in the world that the sympathy was in the man’s instead of the woman’s favor. Another piece was substituted, and the entertainment proceeded despite . the absence of Miss Shaw. Bos has always been a creature of vicissitude. . During the Russian war he sent out a ship load . . of wooden legs to Sebastopol with the expecta. tion of making a fortune. . a leak on the voyage, and put into Naples to . repair damages.

Poor Bob—not . more than a year ago he was about to wed the . belle of Philadelphia, a lady teacher in one of . our publie schools.

The San Joaquin Republican has recieved a letter from Professor Hardinge of New York, . of quartz liquefaction notoriety, in answer to inquiries which that journal had addressed to . him on the subject of introducing his process . into California. The Professor’s letter is dated New York, May 4. He says: ; With reference to my plan for the introduction of this discovery into California, it is simplified and easy, and calculated to come within the reach of every quartz miner, Avoiding any great offer from any one person for my patent, my plan is to do the greatest good to the greatest: number. I shall encourage the organization of small companies, each one to . have the full enjoyment of all my patents in but one locality, giving them my supervision by sending an expert fotenien and machinist . to keep every set of works in perfect operation, that my reputation and that of my business be protecetd. I shall furnish drawings (alread engraved) for working drawings, &c., for eac full set of works. .My charge for all of this will be $2,000—one-half to be paid wheh I sign the papers, and the other half when the purchasers shall find the works in perfect and profitable working order, which they will be both able and willing to do. A business which will be spread out amoung the mountain sides, and in many different directions, require the industrial attention of proper persons, possesing a familiar knowledge of my plans, &c., to sce that every set of works are in order, and the miners initiated in their new but only way of saving their gold. A Volcano in Georgia. A. writer in the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinal gives the following account of a velcano . ‘ that has recently made its appearance in Pigeon Mountain, some ten miles distant frem the town . of Lafayette, in Walker county. Since October, 1856, the mountain has been occasionally attended with hollow, roaring) sounds, resembling distant thunder, frequently . accompanied with dull explosions. This was not very closely confined to any particular place, but seemed nearly equal for about a mile, extending each way from where the crater of a voloano has since made its appearance. This roaring sound continued, occasionally dying away aud reviving again, until the 15th of . the present mouth, when (after an abatement . so long that it was believed tohave entirely subsided) it became suddenly and unnsually boisterous, and was attended for the first time Faran Avrray.—We. learn from_ the. Maryéville Herald that an affray occurred on Monday the 16th inst., at Hartley's ranch, about a mile and a half from that city, which resulted in the . death of Aman Hamed Jake Bilby. It appears that several men were engaged in working a threshing machine on the ranch, when a fight arose between Johu Galvin and another party, about some trivial matter. Bilby interposed to separate the parties, when he received a cut in the abdomen, from a knife-held in the hands of Galvin, which produced his death in a short time. Galvin was arrested and lodged in jail? IMPROVEMENT OF Nopir’s Pass.—The improvement of the road from McCumber’s Mill to the Honey Lake Valley, by way of Noble’s Pass, says the Shasta Republican, has been alre ‘commenced. John A. Dricbelbas, who bas be¢n selected to superintend the work, left that place on Tuesday last. He has with him a well selected company of workmen. Mr. Dricbelbas will commence near McCumber’s Mill andwork east about three weeks. He will then commence at the head of Honey Lake Valley and work this way. He expects to complete the improvements in about two months, Fresu Arriva or Mormons.—A writer from San Bernardino says:—About a dozen families arrived here, from different parts of Utah Territory, They say that they had tried to return to the States twice or three times, but were as many times stopped by the bishops and the people of the place they had started from, who declared that no one should ever go back to the States if it lay in their pore to stop them, because it was the counsel of the authorities that no one should leave the Territory who was disaffected or tainted with apostacy.”’ A Purrraction.-—The San Andreas Independent says that Mr. James Barclay and FE. Berr' are now sinking ashaft near the Gold Hill House. When about twenty feet down, they struck a petrified tree, which evidently had been much decayed before the process had turned it into stone. This makes the second petrified tree which has begn struck near that place. Imprinted in the dirt are many specimens of leaves and other debris, as perfect and distinct as when living, Incenplary Atremprt av OrovitMe.—On Tuesday morning, June 16th, an attempt was made to burn a building in Oroville, which, however, fortunately failed in execution.

After’ this date it was comparitively tranquil until about . midaight on the 24th, when the earth was viv. lently agitated several times. The citizens in the vicinity were aroused and . terribly frightened by the commotion. When . observing the mountain they were more than . ever terrified, for a brilliant light was plainly . seen issuing from the summit, The atmosphere . soon became strongly impregnated with a disagrecable sulphuric odor, On the following day athick torrent of smoke and ashes ascended . from where this light was previously seen, The . sinoke was not visible at night.
