October 24, A, D, 1857. 1-3w HUGH A. KELLY, Constable. to satisfy the Sale to be made on . Haraszthy, made in 1855, there were melted 1,370,800 634-1000 ounces of gold bullion, with an actual wastage of 214 882-1000 ounces, the legal wastage allowed this officer by law being 2,741 600-1000 ounces. This settlement was highly favorable to the melter and refiner. We next find that im the settlement of 1856 there were melted 2,041,584 521-1000 ozs. gold bullion, with an actual loss of 3,156 415-1000 ozs. This increase of loss is said to be caused by the great increase of business in the branch mint, causing the melter and refiner to work his department day and night, which prevented the same care being observed to avoid loss. This possibly may have been the case, as the mint was worked to three or four times its capacity, owing to the great demand for coin at that time. We now come to the final settlement made in April, 1857, the result of which is so astounding that it has led to the presentment of the late melter and refiner. We find that there was melted in the branch mint, from September, 1856, to April, 1857 1,373,095 605-1000 ozs. of gold bullion, showing the extraordinary loss / unaccounted for of 10,746 191-1000 ozs. gold. The only light thrown on the disappearance of so lange a quantity of gold, is that shown by . the developments in the case of Bein, that con. siderable amounts of gold bullion have been taken from the mint by other hands than those of the late melter and refiner. It may be said that the amount indicated in the Bein case is comparatively small, yet we have no means of determining the actual amount taken in that way. While it is believed that Bein’s depredations on the gold of the mint . far exceeds the amount acknowledged by him, Szabo will rest under merited suspicion until . he satisfactorily aceounts for the gold deposited . by the Blums for him. This, together with the . gold found in the chimney and on the roof of the mint and adjoining buildings, have increased . the difficulties of arriving at any satisfactory result as to the extent of the amount of gold . abstracted from the mint. We refrain from saying anything further on this subject, as the case of the melter and refiner is before the Honorable Court, The gentleman in charge of the melting and refining department at this time has been highly successful in the introduction of checks, which . indicate from time to time the probable loss in this department. In future no excessive loss can be sustained without immediate detection, Had these checks been adopted at an earlier siderable loss, Desrrucrion or TrEES.—Most provoking indeed, is the natural tendency to the destruction of fine trees on the most frivolous pretences, A majestic elm will be cut down because the dripping from its bows moisten cheap shingles on some adjoining house; an oak which projects . two fect into the road will be sacrificed rather . than a dollar spent to widen the thoroughfare. Trees in a village must disappear, root and . branch, rather than have a new street deviate from a straight line, The first care of the pur. chaser of an estate is to cut down all the trees that do not standin regular rows, and we are . sometimes called on to admire the thrift which cuts down an orchard because birds get the . cherries or boys steal the apples. A pioneer . dame exulted in the removal of every tree from her hut, where ‘the sun could shine in nicely all are every day instances of Vandalism not so excusable—J. A. Review.

After plundering as much as he could, he proceeded very coolly to steal the ear-rings of the drowsy damsel. He then pulled the rings off her fingers, and think. ing still that he had not made the robbery com. plete, he cut all the hair off one side of her . head. And he accomplished it all without waking the girl. Discovery or Wrxe.—Wine was first discovered by Jemsheed, one of the earliest monarchs of Persia, by the following incident: He was immoderately fond of grapes, and desired to preserve some, which were placed in a large vessel, and lodged in a vault for future uso. When the vessel was opened, the grapes had fermented; the juice was so acid that the king believed it must be poisonous; he had some bottles filled with it, and “poison” written on each; these mere placed in his room. It hap-. pened that one of his favorite wivs was affected . with nervous headaches; the pain distracted her so much that she desired death; observing a bottle with “poison” written upon it, she took it and swallowed its contents. The wine, for such . it had become, overpowered the lady, who fell Delighted with the remedy, she repeated the . doses so often that the king’s poison was all drunk. He soon discovered this. and forced the lady to confess what she had done. A quantity of wine was made, and Jemsheed and all his court drank of tne new beverage, which, from the manner of its discovery, is to this day known in Persia by the name of zcher+e-khoosh, . or the delightful poison. . of whites to go near them. day the mint could not have sustained any con. . day, looking so improvement like,’ and there . Se The Tehuantepec Route, By late advises from the East, it appears that the road from the western to the eastern terput in preparation for travel, and that it wi F agonge 3 be completed by February next, With the consent and approbation of the Supreme Government of Mexco, a city has been planned and its site fixed this . ments are in progress to improve the harbor at that point, We learn also that emigration is rapidly tending along the line of the route, and that light steamers are now playing on the Guascacualco river, which will facilitate the travel over this road. Whatever temporary delays may take place in —a the arrangements, there is no question that the route is perfectly feasible, and that it has already been opened to such an extent as to warrant the conclusion that California and the East will soon have a choice of transit in their endeavors to communicate with each other, Persons have already gone irom this city to the Atlantic side, and they write baek most favorable accounts of the healthfulness of the country and the comfert to be enjoyed in traveling overt the road. The natives are said to be friendly and even . kind to Americans, and the Government of President Commonfort seems inclined to render every facility to our people in their attempts to settle and improve the country, We hope nothing will occur to disturb these’ pleasent relations. — Globe.

The San Francisco Times mentions the arrival in that city of Lieut, Ives and party, and says: They will leave this port in a sailing vessel, taking asmall steamer along, which will be put together at some convenient point on the river, and the party will then proceed on her, Some of the branches of the Colorado head up in the . Wasach Mountains, a little way south of Salt Lake, and other confluents have their source in the Sierra Madre, and as high be the Three Parks, so that should this river found to be navigable even for small steamers to anything like two-thirds of that distance, the expedition will do more to furnish us with accurate tographical information, and lead to the eventual occupation and settlement of that vast region, than anything that has yet been attempted.

The soldiers were expeeted down every day from the Fort, for the purpose of driving them from that place, as it was considered quite dangerous to the whites for them to remain there. There has been no fighting of late between them and the soldiers, as it has been some five or six wecks since they left the Fort, [t is expected, however, that a battle will ensue immediately on the arrival of the soldiers. . Curtovs Hisrorreat Facr.—The wife of the . celebrated Lord Clarendon, the author of the . “History of the Rebellion,’ wasa Welsh potgirl, who, being extremely poor in her own country, journeyed to J.ondon to better her fortune, and became a servant to a brewer.

Haraszthy, made in 1855, there were melted 1,370,800 634-1000 ounces of gold bullion, with an actual wastage of 214 882-1000 ounces, the legal wastage allowed this officer by law being 2,741 600-1000 ounces. This settlement was highly favorable to the melter and refiner. We next find that im the settlement of 1856 there were melted 2,041,584 521-1000 ozs. gold bullion, with an actual loss of 3,156 415-1000 ozs. This increase of loss is said to be caused by the great increase of business in the branch mint, causing the melter and refiner to work his department day and night, which prevented the same care being observed to avoid loss. This possibly may have been the case, as the mint was worked to three or four times its capacity, owing to the great demand for coin at that time. We now come to the final settlement made in April, 1857, the result of which is so astounding that it has led to the presentment of the late melter and refiner. We find that there was melted in the branch mint, from September, 1856, to April, 1857 1,373,095 605-1000 ozs. of gold bullion, showing the extraordinary loss / unaccounted for of 10,746 191-1000 ozs. gold. The only light thrown on the disappearance of so lange a quantity of gold, is that shown by . the developments in the case of Bein, that con. siderable amounts of gold bullion have been taken from the mint by other hands than those of the late melter and refiner. It may be said that the amount indicated in the Bein case is comparatively small, yet we have no means of determining the actual amount taken in that way. While it is believed that Bein’s depredations on the gold of the mint . far exceeds the amount acknowledged by him, Szabo will rest under merited suspicion until . he satisfactorily aceounts for the gold deposited . by the Blums for him. This, together with the . gold found in the chimney and on the roof of the mint and adjoining buildings, have increased . the difficulties of arriving at any satisfactory result as to the extent of the amount of gold . abstracted from the mint. We refrain from saying anything further on this subject, as the case of the melter and refiner is before the Honorable Court, The gentleman in charge of the melting and refining department at this time has been highly successful in the introduction of checks, which . indicate from time to time the probable loss in this department. In future no excessive loss can be sustained without immediate detection, Had these checks been adopted at an earlier siderable loss, Desrrucrion or TrEES.—Most provoking indeed, is the natural tendency to the destruction of fine trees on the most frivolous pretences, A majestic elm will be cut down because the dripping from its bows moisten cheap shingles on some adjoining house; an oak which projects . two fect into the road will be sacrificed rather . than a dollar spent to widen the thoroughfare. Trees in a village must disappear, root and . branch, rather than have a new street deviate from a straight line, The first care of the pur. chaser of an estate is to cut down all the trees that do not standin regular rows, and we are . sometimes called on to admire the thrift which cuts down an orchard because birds get the . cherries or boys steal the apples.

After plundering as much as he could, he proceeded very coolly to steal the ear-rings of the drowsy damsel. He then pulled the rings off her fingers, and think. ing still that he had not made the robbery com. plete, he cut all the hair off one side of her . head. And he accomplished it all without waking the girl. Discovery or Wrxe.—Wine was first discovered by Jemsheed, one of the earliest monarchs of Persia, by the following incident: He was immoderately fond of grapes, and desired to preserve some, which were placed in a large vessel, and lodged in a vault for future uso. When the vessel was opened, the grapes had fermented; the juice was so acid that the king believed it must be poisonous; he had some bottles filled with it, and “poison” written on each; these mere placed in his room. It hap-. pened that one of his favorite wivs was affected . with nervous headaches; the pain distracted her so much that she desired death; observing a bottle with “poison” written upon it, she took it and swallowed its contents. The wine, for such . it had become, overpowered the lady, who fell Delighted with the remedy, she repeated the . doses so often that the king’s poison was all drunk. He soon discovered this. and forced the lady to confess what she had done.

Whatever temporary delays may take place in —a the arrangements, there is no question that the route is perfectly feasible, and that it has already been opened to such an extent as to warrant the conclusion that California and the East will soon have a choice of transit in their endeavors to communicate with each other, Persons have already gone irom this city to the Atlantic side, and they write baek most favorable accounts of the healthfulness of the country and the comfert to be enjoyed in traveling overt the road. The natives are said to be friendly and even . kind to Americans, and the Government of President Commonfort seems inclined to render every facility to our people in their attempts to settle and improve the country, We hope nothing will occur to disturb these’ pleasent relations. — Globe. Tue CoLtorapo Expenirion.—The Government expedition for the exploration of the Colorado, is being hastened forward. The San Francisco Times mentions the arrival in that city of Lieut, Ives and party, and says: They will leave this port in a sailing vessel, taking asmall steamer along, which will be put together at some convenient point on the river, and the party will then proceed on her, Some of the branches of the Colorado head up in the . Wasach Mountains, a little way south of Salt Lake, and other confluents have their source in the Sierra Madre, and as high be the Three Parks, so that should this river found to be navigable even for small steamers to anything like two-thirds of that distance, the expedition will do more to furnish us with accurate tographical information, and lead to the eventual occupation and settlement of that vast region, than anything that has yet been attempted. Prrr River.—The Marysville Inquirer has news direct from Pitt river.

The soldiers were expeeted down every day from the Fort, for the purpose of driving them from that place, as it was considered quite dangerous to the whites for them to remain there. There has been no fighting of late between them and the soldiers, as it has been some five or six wecks since they left the Fort, [t is expected, however, that a battle will ensue immediately on the arrival of the soldiers. . Curtovs Hisrorreat Facr.—The wife of the . celebrated Lord Clarendon, the author of the . “History of the Rebellion,’ wasa Welsh potgirl, who, being extremely poor in her own country, journeyed to J.ondon to better her fortune, and became a servant to a brewer. While she was in this humble capacity the wife of her mastor died, and he, happening to fix his affections on her, she became his wife. Himself dying soon after, left her an heir to his property, which is said to have amounted to between twenty thousand and thirty thousand pounds. Amongst those who frequented the tap at the brewery, was a Mr. Hyde, then a poor barrister, who conceived the project of forming a matrimonial alliance with her. He succeeded, and led the brewer's widow to the alter, Mr. Hyde being endowed with great talents, and new at the command of a large fortune, quickly rose in his profession, beqgming the head of the chancery bench, and @ferward the celebrated Hyde, Karl of Clarendon.

Upon the death of Charlse, James I. mounted . the throne; but a premature death frustrated . the enviable consumation in the person of the . amiable duchess.

The former was condemned to hard labor for life, but in consequence of the latter pretending to be dumb and idiotic his trial was postponed, in order that a medical investigation should take place, It was found impossible to get even 9 sign of intelligence from him.
