ENGINEs.-The following very good
story about enginess, is told by the Pitts
burg Spirit of the Age:
When fire is discovered in our city,
folks cry yell and scream fire! fire! fire!
with all the strength of their lungs; notso
of old. When the first engine was bro't
over the mountains and placed in the old
engine house near short street, it attracted
general attention, and was considered as
quite acuriosity in that day. Very unfor-
tunately the people were SO taken with its
appearance as to cry engine instead offire
when an alarm was raised. This gave
rise to quite ludicrous occurrence; du-
ring the end of the eighteenth century,
when an attack from the savages was ex-
pected, and its dreadful consequences
guarded against by constantly drilling of
the people in the art Of war in the market
house. One evening after the arrival of
the much talked of engine, chimney
caught fire on the outskirts Of the town,
and the flames communicating to the roof
of the building, the inmates retreated to-
wards the centre of the town, wringing
their hands and screaming "engine! en-
CINE! engine!' with stentorian lungs; the
cry was taken up by hundreds Of voices
and repeated, "Ingins! Ingins! Ingins!''
spreading CONSERVATION through the streets
the flames bursting forth added to the
prevailing terror, and the people rushing
from the houses half dressed, and hurried
to the market square, the men with rifles
and the women with babes in their arms
dragging the larger urchins by the hand:
the men formed instantly according to
their usual mode, when the whole affair
was explained, the "bran. new engine put
in operation, the fire prevented from
spreading, and the excitement allayed.
Such was the first operation of our iron
city firemen-when they performed their
duty rifle in hand. But such there ever
are; the same qualities which make gal
ANT soldier in war are evinced in the fire.

american Imports IN Eance.-The
Boston Daily Advertiser says the impdt
of American products into France appears
to have excited alarm among the agricul-
turalists of that country. A late Paris
journal has paragph on the subject, cop
led from the Auxilliare Breton.-That pa
per now remarks that the matter now en-
cages the Chamber of Commerce Of Nor
laix, and that it threatens the agriculture
Of that part Of the country with total ruin.
The Americans are introducing, butter,
equal and superior to ours; lard, sailed
provisions, wax, clover seed, and in fine
all our products, and deliver them, and
with the beauties paid at our principle
commercial places, at lower prices than
we can furnish them. People engaged in
the Breton Commerce are much excited
by this, and with reason, for all the pro-
auctions oflower Brittany suffering by for
eigu rivalship diminution in value of !
per cent for example, our already too
abundant agricultural products will suffer
ten per cent in consequence Of the farmer
being obliged to sell at loss, and COM
merce, which in this country is all on
commission, will suffer loss Of 2 per
cent on IS per cent, which makes very
round sum. But if we agriculturalits lose
by foreign competitor 10 pr ct. of our pro-
ducts, we suffer in our fortune fifty times
more loss than commerce can gain.

Cdlifornia.-An American gentleman
resident in California, writing to a friend
in the United States, says of that country
although part of this country (Cali-
fornia) is nominally governed qy Mexico,
we are remote from and scarcely feel the
influence of that power. The extent of
the flat or level country from the Pacific
coast to the Mountains on our east, will
average about one hundred and fifty miles
from the mouth of the Rio Colorado to the
line of the Oregon Territory. The soil
of the whole OF this region of country is
very superior, producing cotton, corn and
wheatin abundance. Perhaps no country
in the world produces finer fruit. The
mountainous region, east, abounds in the
richest minerals. Here may be found
copper in its purest state upon the top of
the earth, in all directions. The country
abounds in hot and bitumous springs.
About thirty miles from the Colorado, in
the midst Of a sandy desert, is a voIcano;c
mountain. 1t is nearly round at its base,
and about one mile in height. From its
top is constantly an immense column Of
black smoke. Near its base large guam
titles Of birthstone issue, nearly in pure
state. Ship loads oft might be procured.
1t boils up in kind of crater, hardens on
the outer surface, and falls back in the
centre. There are great many bitumin-
Gus springs near this town. Our houses
are allcovered with bitumen. One spring
here, at which it does not appear that more
than ton could be had, would doubtless
furnish five hundred. 1t rises upon
level parcel of ground in blubbers to the
height of about six feet, bursts and rms
to aeonsiderable distance until it hardens,
rosin in some respects.
