THE BAY OF SAN FRANcIsco-The famous
Bay of San Francisco, about which much has
been said and sung, is formed by a long peninsuar
tract of land, which separates its waters from the
ocean, and runs in a direction nearly southeast and
northwest This peninsula widens as you approach
Monterey, gradually encroaching upon the waters
of the bay, forming curve bounding the eastern
and southern shores of this magnificent inland sea.
Near its northern terminus is the entrance to the
bay, near which is the harbor and town of San
Francisco But although the Bay of San Fran
cisco is one of the most extensive and completely
land locked bays in the world, (lIaving no commu-
ncation with the ocean, except through its one
narrow outlet of mile and half in width it is
only one of three hays all connected with each
other, and forming together an extent of nearly
two hundred miles, from north to SOUTH of inland
navigation. After entering the southernnost Of
these three bays, (San Francisco,) broad channel,
equally as wide that at the entrance, and of
sufficient depth of water to float the largest ships,
conducts into the bay of San Pablo through which
there is beating channel three miles broad and of
from seven 10 fifteen fathoms Of water in depth.
From the Bay of San Pablo, which trends in a
north eastery direction, you enter the Straits of
Cargunes, which are from one mile and half TO
two miles broad and about six miles long, leading
which is called the Snisun Bay. In the Straits of
Carqunes there is sufficient depth of water for the
largest class Of ships; but after entering Suisnn
Bay, the navigation or any except small vessels of
light draughD is prevented by the want of suffi
Gent depth of water. This is occasioned by its
being the reservoir or receptacle of enormous an
nual deposits of aIluvium. brought down by the
rivers Sacramento, San joaquin, and their
merous tributaries, from the mountains and plains
through which they flow for hundreds of miles,
The head of ship navigation, therefore, is in the
Straits of Carquines, about thirty-fve miles in
northerly direction from San Francisco. At this
point town is springing up rapidly, which seems
destined, at no distant period, to rival San Fran
cisco in importance, over which it possesses great
natural advantages as you might see by looking at
the map. In the first place, it is at the head OF
ship navigation and is surrounded on all sides by
the most fertile agricultural districts in Northern
California. The Sonoma, Nappa, Sacramento and
San Joaquin valleys, all tributary to this point
which is tile centre of so many radii while San
Francisco has no back country, being situated at
the extreme end OF long and narrow neck of
land which separates the Day of San Francisco
from the Ocean, and which is one of the most
bleak and barren tracts Of land in all Northern
California,

A HUGE ELECTRICAL MACHINE. AT the
United States Rope Walk, Charlestown, Mass,
which by the way is said to be the largest and best
establishment of the kind in the United States.
there is in operation huge electrical machine,
which by the motion of the other machinery, is
constantly throwing off its sparks and shocks.
The principal part of this great electrical machine
consists of an immense leather driving band, which
conveys power from the engine to different parts of
the building. The friction of this long belt over
the pullies produces electricity with great rapdiiy,
and it may at all times be collected from the band
by any of the ordinary means. The finger being
presented TO the belt continuous stream of sparks
passes to the body with the usual prickling sensa
tons, the ends of the fingers glowing as if with
fire. If an individual is isolated by standing upon
glass and presents key or any other metallic sub
stance TO the belt, be Instantly becomes charged
with electricity, communicating and receiving
shocks by touch with another by-stander. Any
number of Leyden jars can quickly be charged by
means of this belt, and shock produced which
would kill an OK. As the belt runs in the upper
story garret of the building, it is seldom noticed
by visiters, although it is of the greatest
curiosities. Y. Sun.

FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 20, 1s4o.

FROM OREGoN.-The New York Tribune pub
fishes letter, received by a gentleman in New
York, from his sister now resident in Oregon City,
dated Feb. 20. 1t says that the discovery of the
gold mines in California has entirely changed the
aspect of things in Oregon. The rich lands are
now almost deserted and valueess, sold for
almost nothing, or in exchange for pack mules TO
carry the inhabitants to California" Some to dig
their fortunes, others to dig their graves" Some
return with fortunes, gamble till all is lost, then
return to dig for more She says the people of
Oregon suffer much from the emigration to Cali
fornia, as whole families were departing for the
Mines. There is prospect of the country being
deserted and depopulated in the Spring (last, and
there fearful apprehensions of Indian depreda-
tons. When the Indians get rum, they frequently
threaten to exterminate the whites, and the abb
sence of the men emboldens them in these threats.
Provisions are very high in Oregon-vesses press
to and from California without stopping. Many
fear famine unless the soil is cultivated Even
in the Sandwich Islands, whence the Oregon sugar
market is supplied, the sugar plantations are de-
serted for gold digging. The climate, she says, is
delightful. They have had a little snow and some
sleigh-riding, which is unusual for that country.
Most of the people of Oregon from the West
ern States.
