account of what is become Of the missing

"liere are the circumstances Of the case,

agents of our government for receiving
the money already stipulated TO be paid by

ALTiEs.-Many have supposed that none OF
the provisions of the new Postoffice law
were TO 60 into operation until the frs, of Ju-
ly next; and that, consequently, there was
not yetany penalty for sending letters by ex-
press. This is mistake. BY reference to
the law, as published by us in Friday last,
it will be seen that ) IL reads thus:
''That all persons whatsoever, who shall.
after the passage Of this act, transmit any
private express, OIL other means declared by
this &C, TO be unlawful, any letter or letters,
packet or packages, or other mailable mat
ter, excepting newspapers, &c. &C., shall,

COTTON IN CALIFoRNIA-THE OREGON
SETTLERs-We have been informed by q
gentleman who left The Pacific coast in
December last that two or three Americans
are about to engage in the culture of cotton
in the lower part of Upper California. and
that they feel confident Of raising Il supe-
rior article and in great abundance. Their
rancho or plantation is not far from San
Diego. in lat. 1872 N, the climate being
warm and delightfully."- fine.
The same gentleman informs US that
many of The Oregon settlers have arrived
in the neighborhood Of the Bay Of San
Francisco, in the upper California. and ia
ken up. theft abode there. They report
Oregon as poor country-nothing like
the one it was represented to them to be-
and appear thankful that the opportunity
has been offered them Of leaving it and
reaching more fruitful and congcnial
cline. So productive is the land in the
neighborhood of San Francisco. that one
bushel Of wheat sown, frequently yields a
crop Of seventy five bushels, ano this with
very little trouble, while the climate is SO
dry and pure that sickness is almost un-
known. To illustrate the remarkable dry
ness OF the climate, it is but necessary to
state that wheel vehicles, furniture, &c. :,
manufactured in New England of the best
seasoned timber, shrink up shortly after
reaching this section of California, and fall
TO pieces, unless every precau,ion is taken
American emigrants are constantly arriv-
ing and settling at Sacramento and other
streams emptying into the bay Of San. Fran

WELDING STEEL BY FRicT.oN AND
PREssuRE.-On the I'd oc March ms, we
copied from the Norwich Courier the fac!
that two steel bars, pressed together by the
weight Of milestone, and one of them re-
volving very rapidly, were suddenly weld
ed together. SO as instantly to stop the m II.
We have now to record another instance
Of this extraordinary phenomenon, which
has just taken place at the Marine Railway,
in this city, TO which our attention was
first called by Mr.. engineer Hubbard.
In hauling steamboats, out Of WATERPROOF
an inclined plane, for repairs, at this rail-
way, large screw is employed, turned by
a steam cngine.-To sustain the bearing
end OF this screw, two steel masses, care
fully fitted, polished and fabricated, were
in contact, the one stationary, and the o h.
er revolving with the screw, AMI having
only some two or three revolutions in a
minute. or course, the pressure was very
great. Thus circums,anced, and while the
engine had its usual motion, these two steel
faces became Instantly united, or welded;
and so firmly did ;hey adhere, that the mass
which had revolvtd, being insufficient to
stop The engine, was promptly wrung off, a
little distance from the point Of junction,
and where il was two inches through. The
adhcring surface measures something more
than two inches in diameter.
Attempts were subsequently made TO sep
arate these two pieces or metal; finding
this impossible, in cold state, they were
thoroughly heated, but without producing
any change in the adhesion; and they were
finally sundered by the application Of SC
much force as 10 part the solid metal, on
one side Of the line Of contact.
Such are the facts; the reasons for these
are not so apparent. We have the parts
upon the table before US, exhibiting the rag
ged edges produced by their violent sepa-
ration. Now. what is the cause and nature
of this adhesion? 1t has not been caused
by heat, for a welding heat would have so
soltened the contact faces as to have caus-
ed them to yield, rather than the cold part
Of the bar, which was broken. Is it cleo
trcal? or magnetic? or The result of sim
pie cohesive attraction? We canno, pre-
tend TO answer either Of these questions -
