T h Q Irish Patriot.

A letter has lately been received from this cx-

was made that he was treated with great lenien-
cy bv the authorities at Bermuda. He gays the
only distinction made between his treatment
and that Of the gang of convicts, Of which he
forms one, is that, owing to his very delicate
state Of health and physical capacity for hard
work, he is exempted from heavy bodily labor,
but he is INCREASINGLY engaged in mental occu-
patlons' which, he says, arc so repugnant to his
feelings that, if he were able, he would prefer
stone breaking, or other equally hard and monot
onous labor. He is in wretchedly low spirits,
never secs newspaper, nor has an opportunity
Of speaking to any one who can inform HIM of
the events in Ireland, or the other portions Of Eu
rope, since the day he received sentence oftrans-
portat'on. His family berg aware Of the restric
tions imposed upon the correspondence with the
convicts by the Governor of Berlnuda, are oblig-

FIRST Discovery OF TIE California
GoLD MlNEs.-The New York Tribune
Of Wednesday SAYS
From an article in Harper's forth
coming Biographical Cyclop cdia, we
learn that the gold mines in California
were first discovered by the Jesuits, about
the middle ofthe last century: The Je-
suits concealed their discovery from the
Government, and the suspicion that thew
had done SO perhaps had something TO
40 with their expulsion from Mexico.
In 1850, Don Jose Galvez, Marquis of
Sonora, undertook an expedition into
California to ascertain the truth of the
reports respecting the gold, 'In the riv-
ers, in the soil, and in the rocks" He
was accompanied by the celebrated Don
Miguel Jose ARENA, who discouraged
by the fruitless search ofa few weeks, re
commended the abandonment OF the en-
terprise, and tor contending that the Mar
gus was insane for proceeding, vas
thrown into prison, where he remained
several months. Nothing at all satisfac-
tory, however, appears to have resulted
from the search of Galvez; though the
Jesuits afterwards disclosed. in Spain and
in France, that the charges of discovery
and concealment, made against them,
Were true
We find the following in the Boston
Mail:
The existence of this gold has been
known for more than a century.
In Wards History Of Mexico, there is
an account of aSpaniard who had mine
in California. He would never allow
the mine to be worked, but he used to
60 and take from it as much money as
he wanted occasionally, and when he
died he let his secret die with him.
We know that many Spanish families
acquired vast wealth from the mines,
the locality OF which they hid.
Temeros, for instance, came from
Spain with some capital. He spent
nearly the whole of it in searching for
gold. At length, he of sudden became
vastly rich, having an income of a mil
hon Of dollars year, and was created
Condo de Regla.
The Oregon family presents SINH
lar instance OF luck in discovering mine
The original Oregon came from Spain,
discovered the mine in Guanajuato, made
a vast fortune, and presented line Of
battle ship, fully armed and equipped,
at one time, to the King of Spain. He
was created Condo de VaIanciana.
The richest man in America, at this
moment, is a Mexican miner, Perez CAL
vez, by name, proprietor Of the mine
of La Luz and Mellader, at GUIANA
iuato.

The Footsteps of Decay.
BY T. HEMsTEAD.

fru may trace their path on the bending sky,
In The changing CLEANS Of the rolling cloud
In the liquid smile Of the suns great eye,
And the crurnbling folds Of the whrlwinds
shroud
They are written uron the claEping wave
That laughs and kisses the oozy strand,
In the green that blooms on the monarchf
grave,
On the gem that burns in the frothy sand.
They nre graved on the mountains front sub
lime,
They are gravcd on tho maiden's azure brow
They are graved on the pride of manhood,
prime,
They are gravcd on the infants neck of snow
They blot the lips oftne bursting rose.
They are seen on the lily's Bonded head.
And Ire p,lfering winds their track disclose
In the purple veins Of the violet bed.
They are seen in tho minister's solemn gloom,
In the ruby and gold o the Summer bow,
They are written upon the lodly dome
Where the hero sleeps in the dust below;
They loom in the chnhs oftl,e regal pile
Where the owl in the place of the Satrap sits
In the mould hat stains the lonely aisle
Where the night-gust greves and laughs by
fits.
They are written upon mans proudest hore,
On the trophies of his head and hand;
They meet at the brm of the toamiDg cup,
In all that is beautiful, bright and grand;
They n Get where the ringing steel meets steel,
And the stout heart gualls in the hour of dread
And the fast earth rocks to the splitting peal,
And the warehouse trampes the pluned head.
They meet where the mothers pride lies low,
They rzect where the voice of the bride is
heard,
They meet where Loves warm accents flow,
And the ear by the light swept lutte is stirred ;
There is Charge in the eyes we held most dear,
And the heart in a strife like this must bleed,
And he who hath boarded his treasure here
Hath hung his hope on broken reed.
It will come to th;s-it vii come to this,
That, cham the soul to the rlittcring gold
Or, hang on the tones of love for bliss,
Or speak in dreams with the men of old;
Grim, bony fingers have scraped for thee
A bed all silent and dark and wide,
Down by the foot Of the willow tree
Down where the murmurlcss waters glido.
It will swell the heart, it will cloud TIE eye,
twill scatter, oh, many golden dream;
1t will cause the smile from the lip to die,
To give the thought to so sad a theme;
But it warns my love, and it chlls my pride,
1t greens ard waters my natural derath
To think that the vernal turf will hide
The pride Of man and the spleldor ofearth.

Facts About Lime.

Barren sandy soils often admit Of p,oi,a-
bic cultivation after lime has been added;
and clay soils, in which little or no lime
can be detected, are often entirely changed
by the addition Of lime. So, also, it may
usually be laid with profit upon soils form
ed from decaying granite, while its action
is frequently less sensible when applied to
soils ofdecaying trap. This is chiefly be-
cause the granite contains little naturally,
while the trap rocks, for the most part,
abound with ii.-IProfessorJ Johnston

In short time the only house Rothschilds
