LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES. pose, and found there some officers of Galicia, who told him that he need not write, as they were ordered to give quarter ; that he was delivered to General Rozeles, sent to Bahia Honda, and thence to this city. In reply to the question as to what resources the expedition relied on both in the United States and Cuba, he stated that all the resources were from Mr. Sigur, editor of the New Orleans Delta, who had given 75,000 dollars to purchase the Pam per° ; that sundry pieces of cannon and other arms were purchased at a Government sale ; that the cartridges were purchased through New Or leans merchants ; that money and jewels had been set from the island ; that they received nothing after their landing ; that the only agents in the United States were Sigur, Cuchins, and Co. ; that they were advised by Lopez that no money could be expected in the island without the consent of the New York junta, which had disagreed with Be tancourt and Aguero in regard to the plan of orga nizing the expedition. Of the mode in which Lopez was captured we have nothing precise. Colonel de Lego reports, on the 28th, that he had learned from prisoners that on the night of the 24th Lopez disap peared from the mass of his band with a few Cubans, and that previous to that he had endeavoured to make his way to the south. Lieutenant-Governor Zequira states that on the 28th Lopez, with only six followers, was seeking to make his escape by all possible means. Colonel Monies de Rada, on the same day, reports that a young mountaineer had come into his camp, and informed him that two hours before he had seen Lopez with six unarmed followers, and that he haa offered him 200 dollars, beside a draught for 2,000 dollars, payable at sight at Havannah, if he would guide him to the plantation of Diego de Tapia, but that suddenly, a few moments after, as if doubting his fidelity, Lopez ordered him to go away, and separated from his followers, and alone with a mulatto boy disappeared. The officer into whose hands Lopez was surrendered by his captors was Captain Luis Jarequemada, of the staff. The official report says that he was taken with six of his men in the Pines de Rangel ; his captors were Jose Antonio Castaneda, guide of a pureuing force, and 15 peasants of the country. The capture took place on the 29th, just 17 days from his landing. The news of it spread at once through the country, and people began to flock into the camp to see the pri soners ; to avoid inconvenience, Colonel Ramon de Lego, who commanded the column, conveyed them to Havannah by a night march. The peasants appear everywhere to have opposed the invaders with the utmost hostility. At Aguacate they took and deli vered 12 prisoners. Colonel de Lego reports, on the 26th, that the hills about San Cristoval were full of peasants with dogs in pursuit of the pirates, and guid ing the troops in the work of extermination. Com mandant Felix Sanchez reports that they offered him every aid, and manifested a truly loyal enthusiasm. At Bahia Honda two of the invaders were captured at one time by the peasants; 16 at another, and at an other seven by the negroes of Don Manuel Quinones ; and on the 22d ult. the population of Pozas shot 10 who had fallen into their hands." The brig Potosi, of Portland, had been seized at Havannah for an attempt made by her officers to smuggle a quantity of powder on shore. The captain and mate were in prison. A doubtful report, ema nating from Savannah, states that 300 of the prisoners had been executed. The Washington correspondent of the .New York Herald says :—" It is understood that measures have been taken by the Government for the reclamation of the American prisoners at Havannah ;" but we doubt the truth of this statement. The result of the expedition had considerably cooled the enthusiasm of the New Orleans agitators, and all thoughts of a further invasion had been abandoned. Some slight disturbances had occurred among the " liberators" collected in the city.

We publish to-day fuller particulars of American, Cuban, and other intelligence, brought by the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia to Liverpool on Sunday at noon : The United States' mail steam -ship Hermann, Crabtree commander, sailed from New York on the 6th instant for Southampton and Bremen, with 257,000 dolls. in species on freight. The Royal mail steam-ship America, S'nannon commander, with the mails of the 23d ult., arrived at Boston on the 4th instant. The United States' mail steam-ship Franklin, Wotton commander, which sailed from Cowes at 6.30 A.M. on the 28th ult., arrived at New Ycrk at 9.45 A.M. on the Bth instant. On the 16th instant, at 10.30 A.M., the Asia passed a large steamer, supposed to be the Washington, from Southampton ; and on the 19th, at 6 A.M., she passed the United States mail steam-ship Baltic, hence for New York, 41i hours out. Advicea from Valparaiso of the 25th of July an nounee the arrival at that port of the British mail steam-ship New Grenada, Roy commander,with 8,000,000 dolls. in silver bullion on freight. Our miscellaneous advices contain the report of another meeting at New York of the promoters of the Galway packet-station scheme. A new vessel of 400 tons burden recently passed through the Welland Canal, laden with iron for a railway in the Western States. After discharging her cargo, she was to load a cargo of staves at Bear Creek, on Lake St. Chit'. and thence proceed direct, without trans-shipment of cargo, to Liverpool. This vessel is a regular seagoing ship, copper-fastened, and in every other respect like an ordinary ocean vessel, except that she has a slip keel or centre board instead of the ordinary keel. The immigration into New York for the eight months ending with August was 192,836. The captain and part :of the crew of an American whaler had been massacred by the natives of a small island known as 111'Oroskill's, belonging to the group of the Ladrones. By the steam-ship Empire City, which arrived at New York on the 6th instant, we have the following further particulars of the fate of Lopez and his expe dition, ex tracted from various papers : " Havannah, for the last three days of August, had been the the theatre of the most intense excitement ever witnessed in the island of Cuba. On Saturday, the 30th ult., the news reached Havannah of the cap ture of General Lopez and his forces ; and never was news received with more joy and apparent satisfac tion. It was a day of jubilee and rejoicing; in the evening the principal buildings in the city were illu minated, torchlight processions formed, &c. The next day (Sunday), which is generally a holiday there, was doubly so then in honour, as they said, of the victory of the Spanish troops. Guns were fired from morning to night. Shouts and vitas for Concha and the Queen were continually offered. Lopez was shot in effigy in different parts of the town. He was dressed in the full uniform of a general, and under his left arm was a game cock, and in his right hand a pack of cards. The rabble amused themselves by shooting at the effigy all day. Lopez was condemned to be ' garroted' on Monday, the Ist of September. On Sunday morning the war steamers Pizarro and Isabella Catholica were dispatched to Bahia Honda and Marie', to bring up troops preparatory to the execution. It was reported that the Pizarro had gone down for Lopez, but it was afterwards ascer tained that he had been in the city all day, but was kept perfectly quiet, in order to prevent confusion. Late in the afternoon the steamers Habanero, Almendares, Pizarro, and Isa bella Catholica, all arrived, loaded with troops, being the remainder of those engaged in the several engage ments with Lopez. They were marched to the Plaza de Hernas, where they were inspected by Concha, after which they retired to their rendezvous, com pletely exhausted and tired out. At half-past six o'clock on the Ist of September the troops were as sembled at the place of execution, which was at the Ponta, at the entrance of the harbour, directly oppo site the Moro. There were on the ground at the time 5,000 troops (3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry), and about 8,000 citizens. A few minutes before seven Lopez was brought forward, and ascended a platform about 15 feet high, on which was the chair of execu tion. He turned, and, facing the multitude assembled, addressed them in a short speech, the conclusion of which (and his last words) was, ' I die for my be loved Cuba.' He then took his seat, the machine was adjusted, and at one turn of the screw his bead dropped forward, and all that remained of him who had so long been the terror and dread of the Cuban Government was a cold, black and lifeless body. lie evinced not the slightest trembling or fear ; his step was proud and firm, and his voice clear and distinct. A few hisses and groans were heard from the crowd after the execution ; save that everything was orderly and quiet. There are in Havannah over 100 prisoners (Lopez's men), who are to be sent to Spain for ten years' confinement in a dungeon. The remainder of the forces are supposed to have perished from hunger and fatigue. From the report of the prisoners them selves their sufferings before capture were intense ; they say they lived several days on the leaves of trees, and the last meal they had was from the horse of Ge neral Lopez ' which they killed and divided among th e mselves. Lopez, when taken, was wandering about the country alone. There are various reports as to the manner of his arrest. Some say he was captured by dogs. Another report is, that he went to a farm house and asked for something to eat, and permission to lie down, which was granted him. He fell asleep, during which time the owner of the place obtained the assistance of four men, who bound Lopez hand and foot, and then dispatched a person to the nearest rendezvous of troops, where he was made se cure. The prisoners say, that in no instance have the Creoles of the island manifested the least disposition to join the invaders. The number of Spanish troops killed, wounded, and missing, is 2,000. Among the former is Enna, second in command to Concha, and said to be one of the best and bravest officers in the army. He was shot through the thigh at the head of an advancing co lumn. The execution of Lopez had restored peace and quiet to the island, and the excitement was rapidly subsiding. From the many statements made by the prisoners we make a few extracts, as calculated to throw some light on the proceedings of the invading force from the time it landed at Bahia Honda. With regard to the designs of Lopez in this expedition, one prisoner stated that the force which embarked in the steamer Pampero amounted to GOO men, exclusive of several who joined it in the Mississippi river; but, the captain having announced that he could not carry them all, a portion returned, leaving on board 480 mon, they being all who disembarked at Morillo. The first object was to go to the river St. John, and effect a junction with an artillery force which was waiting there, and then land at some point in the central department ; but, on touching at Key West for stores, they were told of the revolt of the Yuelta de Abajo. Lopez resolved to land there; but by a mistake of the pilot they were taken before Ma tanzas, and were obliged to return before Havannah, in order to land at the port of Artigosa; but were prevented from this by the frigate Espe ranza. The officers of the expedition were Narciso Lo pez, Col. Pragay, the Hungarian, Colonel Crittenden, and two others named Linds and Clinton. The captain of the company to which the deponent be longed was Ildefonso Oberto : he was killed at Las Pozas. It was the intention of Lopez to establish a Cuban Republic, relying on the insurrection of the Creoles and the good will of the troops. The events which took place after the landing were as follow : They disembarked on the shore at Morillo, at eleven o'clock at night on the 11th inst., with but a slight opposition ; the shore was desertd and the store open and forsaken. Having left about 200 men under Colonel Crittenden, in charge of the unnecessary arms and provisions, the remainder of the expedition, under Narciso Lopez, advanced to Las Pozas ; the few countrymen fled as they came up, and on arriving at Las Pozas they found the town abandoned ; nor could the inhabitants be persuaded to return. The next day they were attacked by the Spanish troops, who were repulsed. Lopez was left in possession of the place, with the loss of Colonel Pragay, another colonel, whose name he had forgotten, Captain Oberto, and some fifty men killed and wounded. Finding they did not meet with the expected sympathy from the people, and were attacked by the troops on whose co-operation they had relied, they determined to take to the mountains. With this intention they started for Pinar del Rio, but, by the blunder or treachery of the guide, were conducted to the coffee estate of Frias, where they had another rencontre with the troops. This resulted in the loss of four or five men, which reduced the force at Frias to 220 men, twelve or fourteen being wounded; with these they passed to Burge, where they spent the night, and the next morning went to Martitorena, where they ' were surprised as they were breakfasting by the Spanish troops, and completely dispersed. Over 100 secreted themselves in the forest, one-third without arms, where they remained for four days, with no food but a horse, some corn, and wild plantains. Coming to a road, the dep onent left the rest in order to write ito his mother. He went to a hacienda for that pur- ''........,.

A dispatch was received at the Navy department yesterday from Commodore Platt, of the United States' sloop-of-war Albany, dated Havannab, Sept. 1, stating that i❑ reply to a request from him that he might be permitted to visit the Americans who ac companied Lopez's expedition, and who had surren dered or been captured and brought into Havannab, he received the following reply from the Captain. , General : (Translation.)

ALEXA nd NDER ROBERTSON. Ma eager. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The receipts yesterday amounted to 2,8631. 63., the number of visitors being 59,344. It may be mentioned, as a curious illustration of the desire felt among the humbler classes in the pro vinces to see the Exhibition, that a poor fisherwoman from the parish of Paul, in Cornwall, named Mary Calimack, aged 84, walked to London, a distance of 350 miles, for the purpose, occupying in the per formance of this pedestrian feat no less than five weeks. With reference to the last census returns, the Re gistrar-General has placed himself in communication with the Royal Commission and the Execut ive Com mittee, believing that from the industrial classification adopted at the Exhibition, important assista nce ma y be obtained as to the occupations of the population, and other statistical information therein involved. By receiving that classification as a standard, a great uniformity and more perfect system of compa • rative reference may be secured than at present exists in some of our most valuable public returns. The regulations to be observed in the removal of goods from the building have been finally determined on. The removal will commence on the 16th of October, the doors opening each day at eight o'clock, and the property being permittisal to be taken out be tween nine o'clock and sunset. Each exhibitor will have a permit granted to him, which will be available for him or his agent, who must be personally present for the time specified in it. Receipts will be taken when goods are removed. The Executive, however, throw upon the exhibitors themselves the entire re sponsibility of the removal, and promise only auxiliary aid. They recommend all interested to attend as early as possible, and make due arrange ments to insure the safety of their property ; and they suggest as prudent that at every important stall trustworthy persons should be placed to take charge. Light valuable articles they advise to be removed without repacking in the building, and small glass cases within the first three days. The period during which the removal is to be effected will be limited by public advertisement, and all goods remaining unclaimed after the date so fixed will be appropriated as the Commission may direct. During Saturday, and again yesterday afternoon, the beam of hollow bricks and Portland cement, con structed by Messrs. Baxley, White, and Sons, at the western extremity of the building, has been under going a trial of strength, which attracted a good deal of attention. This brick beam was identical in size with that of common bricks and Roman cement con structed at Nine Elms in 1836, and which, after standing eighteen months, was broken down with a weight of 50,6521 b. Its dimensions were 21 feet 4 inches, bearing bet ween the piers 2 feet 3 inches thickness at the bottom of the beam, and 1 foot 6 inches at the top, the height being 4 feet '2 inches. The layers of hollow bricks, besides being joined with Portland cement, were held together by thin bands of iron passing t h roug h them, and the whole has re mained standing since the opening of the Exhibi tion, with an announcement attached that it would be weighted and broken before the close. On Saturday the supply o pig-iron r p i r m o v e i n d t e d w a s for re n e e i this y p e u s t r e p r o d s a e y i f n a t l h e d e an presence ,the e e f x D p e r - .

When the load placed on the beam had been increased to 62,8001 b. a crack was observed running right up the centre, and two others at equal distances on either side converging towards the centre as they extended upwards. Then the abutments were thrown out of the perpendicular, one to the extent of a foot, the other an inch and a half. Finally the beam broke right in half, the experiment terminating in the most satisfactory manner for the reputatio n of hollow brick constructions and Portland cement. It may be stated as a curious fact in connexion with this supposed n thshte e aal w nitetiw s no pe hrra c reuin e endlssow o , f building material, that the use of requisition.vwaae t s a r at specimens, the twe It e t wpl the reaes k a e n l ona o rst w i btgnui time, to originally lohel moment the ietni nhnt teet Romans, a o asdc i tr n ecedoi a afi n ne s bs and n , uycteanhlthey Bey contributiont overlooked. THREATENED INVASION of ENGL AND. The proposal to elect Prince Joinville President of France reminds the public of the pamphlet, in which he showed (on paper of course) how easy it would be, with a dozen steamers, to land a few thousand men suddenly in Eiagland, march them up to Lon don, plant the French Eagle on the Tower, take possession of the Bank, and perform various other exploits. But it is now sah l that the principal object was to march 20,600 men to the Monarch Mart in the Minories and lUdgate, and take possession of all the cl c thing, in consequence of Messrs. E. MOSES and SON having excited the envy of the Parisians, by not only anticipating their fashions, but making better clothes at half the Parisian price. That messrs. E.

" The followers of Lopez having been entirely dis persed, and a number of prisoners reported as brought to this place on the 27th ult., I addressed a letter to the Captain-General, requesting permission to hold an interview with any Americans who might be among them. This permission was readily ac corded in a reply which is inclosed.

They were informed that I had obtained per mission to visit them, and that my object was to obtain from them any information they might choose to give, which would be forwarded to the Government of the United States, and perhaps might be the means of deterring others of our countrymen from placing themselves in the same deplorable situation. They were told distinctly that they were in the power of the Spanish Government, and that nothing could be done for them as Americans, inasmuch as the President's proclamation had declared that any persons joining an invading force would thereby forfeit the protection of the Government of the United States. This was said to prevent their forming auy false hopes from my visit. " The information obtained was given in the pre sence of the entire party by the aforesaid officers, and, being uncontradicted by any of them, may be re garded as the testimony of the whole. " They stated that the expedition sailed from New Orleans in the steamer Pampero. They wore not sure of the exact number composing it, but thought it was 487; that it certainly did not amount to 500. Before landing at Cuba they anchored near Key West, where they remained several hours, and were visited by some citizens of that place. They landed in Cuba about two o'clock in the morning of the 12th of August. Their first fight took place on the 13th. From that period they had lost all recollection of dates. They had five engagements, but could not tell how many of their number had been killed. Th©y were armed with condemned muskets, had no rifles ; but many indivi duals had revolvers and knives. They brought with them 80,000 cartridges, and captured many more after landing. They bad no artillery. Soon after landing they found they had been deceived, and became anxi ous to return home. They had been informed before sailing, that fourteen towns were in possession of the patriots (to use their own language), and that the whole island was in a state of revolution. They sup- DR.

The Mormons had re-occupied their old station in Carson's Valley in much larger numbers, and intend making a permanent rendezvous there.

The weather in the lower portion of St. James had been variable sunshine ; clouds, and rain in succession had given great vigour to vegeta • tion. Agricultural prospects were very encouraging, and there was likely to be an abundance of ground provisions. The cholera was still hanging about the island, and there had been several fatal cases in Kingston. The mail steamer Conway left on the 29th for St. Thomas's with the mails. The recent hurricane had created an immense amount of damage on sea and land. The loss of a Spanish mau•of-war is reported. The Governor-General adjourned the Canadian Parliament of the 6th, after passing Billy to the number of 171. A number of these relate to works of internal improvement. According to the speech of Lord Elgin the session has been a very harmonious one. The Governor-General said, that it was his firm resolution to administer the government in conformity with the wishes of the people of the province as expressed through the local Parliament, believing this course of proceeding on his part best calculated to secure contentment and peace. He trusts that the religious principles and good sense of the people of the province will induce them to eschew violent and extreme measures, to cultivate habitual respect for laws and the rights of property, and cherish towards each other feelings of mutual kind ness and goodwill. The measures designed to pro mote this end must, in an eminent degree, as predicted by Lord Elgin in his closing speech, "be productia e of very beneficial results to the province at large, by attracting trade, enhancing the value of property promoting the settlement of the country, and leading to increased intercourse between the sister colonies.' pose that the fifty men captured with Colonel Critten den were endeavouring to make their escape. They so infer from the fact that they were all dispirited by the reception they met with, and disgusted, as they said, with the lies and deception' practised towards them. The country people generally fled at their approach, and none joined them. Worn out with hun ger and fatigue, the men composing this body threw away their arms a week or ten dal s previously ; they could not distinctly remember when. They had not at that time heard of the offer of life to such as would give themselves up, but their intention was to throw themselves upon the mercy of the Spanish Government. They did not come in all together, but in gsniall parties, and at different times. They had subsisted chiefly upon fruit, and the last meat that some of them had eaten was a portion of their gene ral's horse. There was no lack of ammunition when they threw away their arms, though much of what they brought had been damaged by rain. Lieutenant Grider stated that he carried a musket, though an officer, and that he had 28 rounds of cartridges in his box when he threw it away. "Captain Kelly stated that the editor of the New Orleans Delta, Mr. Sigur, was instrumental in per suading him to join the expedition, having addressed him p ersonally upon the subject. He has reason to believe that he persuaded many others also. The whole party manifested much indignation towards General Lopez and Mr. Sigur, and many of them asserted that it would he worso for the latter if they should live to return home. On being told that Ge neral Lopez was taken prisoner, a cry of joy and exultation ran through the crowd. " They stated that Lopez was chief of the expe. dition. " Colonel Dowsernan was second in command, and was killed on the 13th. " Colonel William Scott Haynes, of Tenesee, was another leader. According to their best belief he was still in the mountains. " Colonel Crittenden had been an officer of the United States army during the war with Mexico. " A Hungarian named Pragay, who acted as Ad jutant-General, was mortally wounded on the 13th. "It is matter of regret that so imperfect a narra tive has been obtained from these unfortunate men. In the excitement of the moment many would speak at once, and to some questions it was difficult to get a satisfactory answer, on account of the eagerness of all to give it. . . . . "At the request of the commandant of the castle, the prisoners were asked if they had had the benefit of medical attendance since their confinement. They replied that they had. They were also asked if they had been provided with two meals a day, and whether they had bread and coffee for breakfast. Some said that they had, but others replied that they had no coffee. The commandant immediately inquired the reason of his subordinate, who stated that those who had been confined there on the previous evening came too late to be provided for on that morning; but that they would have their allowance of coffee at din ner. He stated that the others had been provided for according to the order. " It may be proper to add that the prisoners ap peared to be in good health, and by no means so much reduced as their exposure and hardships would seem to warrant. They even appeared to be cheerful, which may have been the effect of relief from a condition of far greater anxiety and suffering experienced during their wanderings upon the island. "The whole number of prisoners, including those not yet brought to Havannah, is officially stated to be about 130." The steam-ship Prometheus arrived at New York on the 4th from San Juan, with 350,000 dolls. in specie, and ad vices from San Francisco to the 31st of July. She brought the passengers of the steam-ship Independence, which left San Francisco at the end of the month. A writer describing the Nicaragua route says : ' The transit by this route is about to open under the most flattering auspices, and everything is pre pared to conduct it in a manner which will insure its durability. Steamers are on the river prepared to take three passengers who left New York on the 13th inst. in the Prometheus. The road from Virgin-bay on the lake side to San Juan del Sud, on the Pacific, about twelve miles long, is in a good state, and can be travelled over on good mules in about three hours. This road is intended to be widened, and we may ex pect in a few months to see carts laden with goods traversing it backwards and forwards. Passengers will be carried from the Atlantic to the Pacific in about four days, and from the Pacific to the Atlantic in about thirty-six hours. We learn from reliable authority that in the course of the next three months a route of a permanent character will be established between Realejo and Grenada. It is contemplated to stock it with horses and coaches, so as to convey pas sengers from ocean to lake in the course of twenty four hours. It will be done without at all interfering with the privileges granted to the canal company. San Juan de Nicaragua is reported to be quite healthy. The steamers Henry L. Bulwer and John M. Clayton are running regularly on the San Juan river. The revolution in Nicaragua has given that state two Governments, two Presidents, and two Cabinets. From California we have still later intelligence by the Georgia, which arrived at New York on the 6th. She brought San Francisco dates to the 2d ult., and 1,500,000 dolls. on freight, besides 400,000 dolls. in the hands of passengers. The steam-ship Oregon was expected at Panama with 1,800,00 dolls. on her freight-list. We extract the following summary of Californian news from a late San Francisco paper : " The events of the past two weeks are of a less ex citing character than those embraced in the summary of the last steamer. No great outrage has occurred to heighten the excitement in the public mind; the subsisting excitement has abated. Under the Ame rican criminal code which took effect on the Ist inst., and which allows a jury a discretion to punish, either with imprisonment or by death, those guilty of arson, robbery, burglary, &c. (among many other rigorous but necessary provisions), a few trials have been had ; among the most conspicuous of which is that of Robinson, Gibson, and Thompson, convicted at Sacramento of the robbery of James Wilson, and condemned to death. It is hoped that the courts will act promptly, and in the spirit of this law, so that no instance may occur in which it may be deemed ne cessary, by any of our courts, to resort to extra judicial punishments. The reports from the mining districts are more favourable than at any period dur ing the present year, and the shipments of gold for August and September will doubtless far exceed those of any previous month. The most remarkable fea tures of our mining operations are the very numer ous undertakings, by companies, all along the veins and tributaries, to divert the waters from their channels, the extensive canals on the tribu taries of Calaveras, Tuolumne, American, and "Yuba, to carry water upon places known to be rich, but without water ; and, lastly, the fair prospects of a practical and successful beginning of quartz mining with heavy improved machinery. The unprece dentedly low stage of water in all the rivers has been especially favourable to enterprises of the first class ; many damming companies are already at work in the beds of the various streams, which have been exposed for miles, and some rich deposits have been struck ; and there is a prospect of a still further fall of the river for the next three months. The canal projects, at first on a limited scale, and successful, have been undertaken on a large plan, and with a heavy capital. That for turning the South Fork of the American several miles through the hills to the valleys and gulches about Placerville is the most gigantic one on foot, and the company is about to be organized, with such confidence that the stock, from a quarter to half a million, will be readily taken by the miners in that vicinity. There is increased confidence in the ultimate success of quartz mining, and the belief is every day becoming more general that this will become the great and permanent source of gold. The age of prospecting is past ; combined capital and labour, directed by systematic and scientific prin ciples, will succeed, where a blind trust in fortune and in individual efforts has failed. The subject of agri culture is beginning to attract considerable interest. Although the past winter and spring were unusually dry, experiments have proved eminently successful, and there is a desire among many who came here as mere sojourners to settle permanently in California, _ A and gather around them the comforts of a home.

Assuming that the Trafalgar, Vengeance, and Phaeton have by this time joined the other ships of the fleet un d er th e immediate personal command of Admiral Si r William Parker, Bart., G.C.8., the Commander-in-Chi e f in the Mediterranean, the British naval force by this time at Barcelona consists of the following : LINE - OF-BATTLE SHIPS.

Thus the gallant admiral has six line-of-battle ships, two of them three-deckers, mounting 574 guns, with 5,000 men; two first-class frigates, mounting 100 guns, with 1,000 men ; and four steam-vessels, mounting 39 guns, with 820 men, and with machi nery of .1,510-horse power; the total being 12 ships, mounting 713 guns, with 6,820 officers, seamen, ma rines, and boys. The French fleet, however, now in the Mediter ranean, when joined by the two three-deckers Henry IV. and Ville de Paris, will outnumber Sir William Parker's force in ships and steamers and in guns and men. Admiral de la Susse, who has been appointed to succeed Vice-Admiral Parseval Deschenes in the command in chief of the French fleet, will be recol- lected as the very agreeable, polite, and gentlemanlike officer who commanded the French squadron that ac companied the late King of the French to Portsmouth on a visit to our Queen. The admiral's flag was hoisted on the steam-frigate Gomer. HOSTILITIES IN THE PACIFIC.
