From all that we can learn of his new
ministers, M. Bouaparte seems to have
surrounded himself with circle of no.

A Mob QUELLED BY PRAYER.--The
Pittsburgh Gazette relates the following
incident. as received from the late Sheriff
of tine county, Mr.. Forsyth. Mobs have
been quelled sometimes by discharges
of musketry, but we never before heard
of one subdued by prayer. Pittsburgh
mobs must be more reverent than those
of some other quarters: ..
"Some time in the course of the past
year, he, Mr.. Forsyth was called upon t.,
exercise his authority for the suppression
ofa large disordery meeting, some where
in the suburbs Of the city At the time
of his arrival on the ground there was
every manifestation of an immediate and
violent outbreak, and while he was deli.
berating about his duty in the premises,
he was approached by the Rev. Mr. Kirk
land. who acted SO conspicuous a part in
the late trials in our court. with request
that he would let him try the efficacy of
prayer on the excited passions of the
lhrong" .
"rhe Sheriff replied that he doubted
much the success of such an expedient,
but that he was willing to make the ex.
pertinent. Mr. kirkland Immediately as.
sumed station. little elevated above
the multitude, and poured fourth. appar-
emily from the fullness Of Christian spi-
rit, a prayer most appropriate to the oc-
casion. Immediately after he commen-
ced, those around became calm, some of
them very reverently took off their hats,
and when, at the conclusion, he raised
his hand and in the most solemn manner,
pronunced the benediction with which
congregations are usually dismissed, the
mob dispersed as quietly as a congrega-
ton retiring from Church, leaving the
Sheriff no further necessity for the exer
else of his authority" .., M

ExTRAoRDrNARY DIscovERY IN CALI

from letter written to his wife by New

work of ancient times-2lO feet deep, sit.

tain. 1t has made great excitement
here. as it was several days before prep.
arations could be made to descend to the
bottom. There was found in it bones of
human being, also an altar for worship,
and some other evidences of human labor.
From present indications 1t is doubtful
whether it will pay to be worked, as it is
mostly all rock. and will require great
outlay for tools and machinery to work
it,"
The discovery, ifproperly pursued by
competent observers, may prove of the
highest historical Importance. 1t will
establish the fact that the mineral wealth
of that regien has been known to preced
lug generations, aud the relics which
have survived, may enlighten US as to the
nationality ofthe people who first pierced
this mountain two hundred and ten feet,
and will doubtless suggest an inquiry in
to the reason for abandoning the pursuit
of gold in a country in which it seems to
abound. and where its discoveries found
to make such extensive
excavations in former times EUening
