r CALIFoRNIa.-It must not be imagined that the
fined to the United States, to this continent
There is, in our recent Havana papers, an anus
ing account o. party Of about thirty Frenchmen
who sailed from Marseilles for San Francisco on
their way to the mines. On touching Rio Janeiro,
twenty y-two of them became alarmed at the dam
ger of doubling Cape Horn, and encounterng the
excessive cold of the high latudes. They deter
mined to leave the ship and traverse the country
by land and strike the Pacific about Valparaiso
They debarked at Buenos Ayres, and plunged
boldly into the vast Pampas of the Argentine Re-
public. AT first they took horses, but became
soon so excoriated that they abandoned them and
took to carts. This they found too slow. and inal-
Iy concluded to take it on foot. Each man was
armed with a-shot gun rife. and they made
merry hunt of it; living every variety of game,
which they literally divided with the rancheros on
the way, with whom they made themselves merry.
Being expert marksmen, and many Of them hav-
ing served in the army of Africa, they were re-
spected by the indians Of the wilderness, who
were glad to let them pass unmoested. In short,
after march of more ihan two months, they ar
rived safe and sound at Mendoza, near the eastern
foot of the CordiIleras. Here the Inhabitants were
astonshed to strangers emerge from the will
oderness, receiving them with great kindness and
hospitality; and, after passing few days in gayety
and repose, they crossed the ridge Of the Andes,
and arrived at Valparaiso. But they here found
that the ship they expected to find waiting for
them had gone on, after waiting for them month.

The FIRE ANNIHILAroR.--sir. Phillips, the in
veEtor Of this new apparatus, recently gave an
exhibition of its powers to large company as
sembled at the London gas works. VauxhalI.
After some preliminary remarks Oh the vast losses
from fire, amounting, annually, in the three KING
doms, to f2 ,0UU, 900, anu the ineficacy OF water
in ouenching furious conhagraton, he set hre to
a compartment of large open building, hlled
with partitions and temporary Jostlng OF light
wood, daubed with pitch and lurpentine. and hung
with rags soaked with the same c"mbustioies.
The flames ascended, roaring with such vehem-
ence as 10 repel the spectators to distance OF
forty feet reaching, apparently, beyond all remedy
bv water: when Mr., 2. with one OF his hand ma
chimes, somewhat larger than IA good sized coffee
Dot. from which volume of gas aud vaPor was
discharged. extingnished the flames "in half
minute:' and then, to prove that there was no
noxious quality in the resulting air, immediately
walked through h the building with lighted candle
in his hand. A company has been formed to
manufacture these new styled fire engines; which
if they answer as we'll in practice as they seem to
do in experiment, will soon make their way to his
country. and find their field of operation in subdu-
ing flames, and perhaps, the fire riots
