The QUICKSILVER MINES OF CALIFoR-
NIA-The Baltimore Patriot, mentions
that a company has been organized in
that city, and tina: the stock has nearly
all been taken, to work one of the quick
silver mines fCaifornia, which-accord-
ing to the authentic accounts which it
says have been received from those who
have made an examination of it, and
whose scientific knowledge gives author
ity to their opinion-are inexhaussible,
and must yield an nnexampled profit
Some idea may be formed of the value
of these quicksilver mines in California,
from the following extract of letter
from Gov Burnett, of California which
he addressed to a friend in Washington:
"The quicksilver mine of New Alma
den, within twelve miles of this place, is
valued at several millions of dollars. In
a few days, Mr.. Forbes informs me, they
will have twenty-six retorts in operation,
and will extract 5000 pounds daily, worth
from $4,000 to $S00O-more than two
millions annually. Only think of that.
This is only one of the several mines,
but it is the largest

MiLLARD FILLMORE MIR. Langdon. Of
the Mobile Advertiser, was one Of the
delegates to the Philadelphia Convention,
and bears the following testimony in favor
of MIR. Fillmore, to which we will again
add our firm conviction, that in Mr.. Fill
more the South has true friend to all
its constitutional rights.
Having ourselves streneously contend
ed in the Philadelphia Convention for the
nomination of Mr. Fillmore to the Vice
Presidency, and having earnestly, anG to
the best OF our humble abilities, defended
him during the campaign, against the
ISLANDERS of his opponents, with certain
knowledge that they were false and un-
founded = having closely watched his
whole public career and admired him
above almost every other statesman Of
the times-it is to us a proud gratifica-
ton to know that the iamented Taylor is
succeeded by one who is so worthy to be
his successor as Millard Fillmore. We
know that his administration will put to
shame the slanderers who have attempted
to brand him as an aboitonist. We
know, too, that we shall have a thorough
Wing Administration that will "stand by
the Constitution" Let the Wings of
the whole union stand by their new Pres
ident.

LONG DRESSES VS.. STREET SWEEPING.
The Boston Transcript says that at a
recent informal convention of highly re-
spectacle ladies of that city. the follow
ing resolution was adopted mem. con-
We think the conclusion quite sensible
and ought to be patronized:
Resolved, that Long Dresses are pro-
voklng obstacles to convenient walking;
are literally brooms in dry weather-and
that it is the duty of all ladies TO propose,
and all gentlemen to encourage, change
of fashion, in this respect, so that our sex
may enjoy the comforts and healthful ad-
vantages of all proper exercise without
restraint, and without sinful exposure to
the injurious effects of mud and water
to our feet and ancles, and sore vexation
to our tempers.

ERIEL NAVIGATION. Captain Taggart
made a balloon ascension from Lowell,
Mass, on the 4th ult., which is thus
described in the Lowell Courier:
The balloon ascension of MIR. Taggart,
yesterday, is represented as having been
eminently successful and brilliant. The
9ronaut was desirous of demonstrating
that he could ascend, and SO guide his
machine as to return, or move to any
given point. For this purpose he con-
structed an immense balloon of 33 feet IN
diameter, with car attached 10 or II
feet long. To the sides of the latter are
attached two craRks, which being turned
by the hands, operate large fans against
the currents Of air. 1t is the first balloon
of the kind ever constructed, and this of
course was the first ascension. Mr.. Tag
CART has patented his invention or i'm
proyement. At four o'clock Yesterday
afternoon he took his seat in the car, and
ascended in beautiful style. bearing off in
the direction of Salem. He went three
miles over the hafbor at Salem, and then
turned about to return to Lowell, whence
he started He came back as far as

his wings or fans, that he thought best
to descend at that place, which he did
in admirable style, at half-past five. He
returned to this city this morning. His
highest point of ascent was five miles.
He states that as he passed the Bunker
Hill Monument it appeared in the dis
tance about The size of man. He pass
ed over shoWer-and while il was rail-
ing beneath him, he sat in his car COM

The London Times, of recent date,
has letter, OF which the following is an
extract.
"On Wednesday last we were coming
from Yorkshire to London by the Great
Northern and Eastern Counties Raj!
way. During the time We were stop
ping at the Shelford station, we observed
a number of young women employed m
clearing the weeds from field on the
south side of the station, and a man over
looking them who held in his hand
large stick. Our attention was attracted
to the man from the resemblance which
more than one person remarked he bore
to a slave-driver; although the remark
was made that of course he would never
think of using the stick to compel appi-
cation to work. Judge what was our
astonishment when we actually saw the
man beat one of the girls for neglect OF
work, and that SO severely that the poor
creature fairly WINGED under the inhiction.
We could scarcely believe the evidence
of our eyes that such means of compell-
ing women to labor were used in our own
country"
This brooks we'll for that boasted land
of freed ON, which seeks SO eagesly to
defame us, and rails at our institutions OF
slavery, which she herself entailed upon
us. The above extract, we believe not
only to be true, but quite a favorable size
of tine picture; for we conclude these
female slaves are well fed, if nothing
more But if one will look little farther,
and acquaint himself with the condition
of the poor degraded needle women of
London, who labor necessarily for the
meager com pensation OF from b to IL
cents per day, and are compelled to live
on this poor pttance, he may well ex
claim, 20 consistency, thou art jewel"
England, whose air, Judge Blackstone
declares 'too pure for slavery" pays mil
lions annually to protect the coast OF
her own subjects to labor under task
masters, at the summon of the whip.
Yes, and those subjects too, the tender
and delicate females of the land, in whose
veins flows proud Saxon blood The
thought causes our hearts blood to run
cold A tender female "caused to vince
under the lash," because she has no
other means of earning her bread in that
cursed land of oppression. We think
it fortunate for that monster dr1ggr, that
it was rot a Southern slave-owner of
America, who witnessed such savage
treatment. Had it been, we fancy he
would have been knocked down, and the
lash turned upon his own back. The
extract shows the consistency of British
philanthropy.
