CALIFORNIA GoLO.-Rev. Walter Cel-

testimony to The gold excitement in CALI
fernia. When the news Of peace arrived,
he says, it produced but very little sensa-
ton, men were too much occupied with
the gold mines to.troubIe themselves much
about the affairs of Mexico. The Cali
fornians grumbled little about its being
sold as they termed it, and then strung
their guitars and were as gay as ever. The
Rev. gentleman wakes fearlully poetic, OH
the yellow fever; hear him! "When
YOU discover on one Of your barren plains

roads in those DAYS were no safer than at pres

horseback for the Sierra Madre, distant about
| forty leagues from the capital. A Mexican
| Indian rarely can be induced to mounta horse,
and in this instance Paquo and his venerable
relative preceded the party on. foot, at the u
sual regular trot in which tie natives make
their Journeys. Notwithstanding the great age
of the elder Indian, he kept ahead of the
horses all the way, without seeming in the
least fatigued on their arrival at the noun
tains. The silver vein was found exactly as
he had represented it, cropping out" at the
surface of the ground and the miner declared
that there could hardly be doubt of the a.
bundance of the mineral wealth which it con-
tanned. Vicente took instant measures for
claiming, or, as 1t is called in Mexico, "de
nouncing" the newly discovered mine, by lay
ing tn Conformation before the proper tribunal,
and commencing the necessary works for the
extraction of the metal-this being all that is
necessary in that country TO give complete
property in any mine, without reference to
the previous ownership of the land in which ii
is found.
In less than month, the miners predictions
were amply verified. BY that time it was
known all over Mexico that Vicente ALBANIA
was working clavo' or deposite of ore,
which had already produced him fifty thous-
and dollars. The Condo Loyzaga, therefore
with promptitude which did honor to his pa
ternal sensibility. complied with his daughters
request, first 10 defer and then to break off ell
tirely, the treaty with the Marquis of San
Gregorio. He still declared, however, that
he could not think of giving his daughters
hand to any one under his own rank and pos
sibly this declaration was the remote cause of
an announcement which, before the close OF
the year, created some interest, though not
much surprise in the city-namey, that Vi
centc Albania had Just been created Count of
Esparza-a title for which, it was said, he had
given half million of dollars; but probably
to him, with seemingly inexhaustible mine
appeared of equal trilling value, compared
with the greater treasure which they were the
means of procuring him.
The traditional account from which the
foregoing narrative has been derived does not
enlighten us with respect to the subsequent his
tory of the personages to whom it relates All
that is certainly known is, that the fortune of
the Albania family, or at least large portion
of it, has survived the revolution which has
swept away their costly title along with much
other rubbish equally expensive and worth
less.

Scotia hath heather-hills, sweet their perfume
Yet through the wilderness cheerful We stray

Dim grew The forest-path; onward they trod
Firm beat their noble hearts, trusting in God
Gray men AMI blooming maids, high rose then

Not theirs the glory-wreath, torn by the blast
