Great Scientific DiScovery.-We Yesterday visit

discovery by Mr.. II. which he kindly showed
Us, does not fully express feelings: we were graf
flied al a triumph SO brant-so signal-so bril-
liant. Mr.. IL. Is an optician, and has made of
the finest Instruments in this country. The tcIr-
scope at the Farmers College" was made by him
and is fine instrument rivalling, at certain dis
tances, the telescope on Mount Adams. But the
great feat which We think will entitle Mr. Hascart
distinguished name in the scientific world, is
his late discovery in the microscope, by which he
can demonstrate the following wonderful things.
A scale Of the Lepisna Sacharina measuring g. 900
OF an inch in length, and nearly the in width,
exhibited - 800 secondary scales its surface The
number Of longitudinal lines, instead of numbering
forty five, in the former best microscopes. mum
bered 27O! scale of SPHINX, me asuring g. 100 of
an inch in length and $1,000 in width, was cover
cd with 400 UO0-the number of those secondary
scales here discovered, being, TO one square inch,
81 500, 100000 On the scale of the SPHINX and on
that Of the Lepisma Sacharna secondary scales to the
number 0i 81, O0OO00 TO square inch are seen,
making the relative size of the secondary scales Of
the LepiSma and SPHINX as 81 10 Oh very nearly
Iie best microscopes before this only showed the
longitudinal lines scale and only about forty
five at that. The secondary Sc4ies through this
microscope are plainly seen aud counted They ay-
cragc about six from one line to another, and taking
the number III length and multiplying by six, gives
the number of secondary scales in one line-muti-
plying the lines by this, and you have the secondary
scales discovered by Mr.. Hanseart, counted! We
counted some Of these scales yesterday, each look
ing the size Of the point Of needle, and satisfied
oursef fully that the above enumeration is correct.
How wonderful! After making these examinations
requested Mr. III. to show US the scale Of the
insect that had so much amused US, and appeared so
perfect in its parts, and exhibited such lines and
condary scales to such an infinite extent.
He handed us piece of glass, TAX en- from the mi
croscope but the scale small we could not see
1t with the naked eye: We requested the use Of a
magniiying glass Of 100 times; by it it was discern
ible. In another glass, Of one thousand power the
scale could be distinctly seen. In the new micros-
cope this scale appeared about large as hand Of
middle size. To be of its formation, we re-
quested an end and side view, as well as top view,

The New York Herald has the following late in-
tcgence from California, via Mobile:
Adviccs from San Francisco, California, 10 the 18th
of February, reached town yesterday afternoon
They were brought by Edward A Suwerkrop, Esq
who has made very quick trip overland through
Mexico TO Vera Cruz, thence to Mobile, and thence
to this city.
We last evening had the pleasure of brief con-
versation with Mr. S., at the Irving House, where
he stops, and obtained from him some very late and
highly interesting intelligence, not only from Cab
fornia but from the Sandwich Islands and Mexico
We were happy to have so intelligent gentle
man to converse with. We found that he had visit
ed the mines with Governor Mason and Capt Fol-
som, and had been about three leagues of the
diggngs lie confirms all that those officers have
written relative to the gold region.
The trip Of Mr.. Suwcrkrop through Mexico was
quick one. He left San Bias on the LIST of March
and reached Vera Cruz on the 10th, travelling dis
lance of $50 miles execrable roads, and was
robbed route, in 10 days. He left Vera Cruz OH
the 18th, in the steamship Great Western, and
rived at Mobile the oath. He met in Mexico

The mail steamship California passed Mr. S. about
two hours sail from Mazatlan, on the night OF the
5th of February. She was bound to San Francisco
There were coal at that port for her, and she
had only coal enough take her up, il is matter o
uncertainty as TO her arrival at Panama on the 10th
Of March, as was expected. The vessel that carried
the coal for her to NIszatan reached that port about
twelve hours after the California had left. She pro-
cceded TO San Bias TO discharge.
MIR. Suwerkrop, who, by the way was Danish con
sui at the Sandwich Islands, left San Francisco or
the 30th Of January, en- route TO San Bias He touch
ed at Santa Barbara and San jose While at SaT
Bias he received letters from San francisco oil The
7,h of February, which, by his kindness, gicfs u
forty three days later intelligence than any previous
ly received from the gold region.
