enormous and elegant panoramic painting.
We have no reason to envy now those who
have visited this wonder Of the 10Th century,"

THE CRY OF New YoRK.-Its progress is
beyond oil calculation-in population, wealth,
and profitable enterprises. "The arrival of q
steamer every other week from California" the
Herald remarks, with one, two, or three mill
lions of gold dust, during the last two years
and a halt, has produced, and will produce, an
extraordinary effect on the prosperity of this
metropolis. 1t is like the opening of new
world, throwing its riches into her lap. The
momentum given to everything in this city by
California and its vast wealth is unparalleled
in the history of commerce throughout the
world. Our vast lines Of magnificent steam
ships have been pushed into existence by the
gold Of California. The city has been almost
rebuilt; the whole country for hundreds of
miles has felt the effect of these discoveries on
the Pacific, as well as Boston, Philadelphia, and
other inland cities. 1t is true, also, that GER
tain other portions of the country, as far as
New Orleans, have not been benefited to SO
great an extent. The capital of the Southwest
has lost some of its trade not only to California,
but by the opening of railways from New York
to the great Northwest"

The CHURCH CASE IN PITTsDURa.-We learn
from the papers Of Pittsburg that some time

did considerable injury to the Roman Catholic
Cathedral. Suit was brought to recover dam
ages but it was given against the church. 1t
then went to the Supreme Court, which has
just confirmed the decision in the court below.

hhOtAoE circumstance S&As0AA&sOs
The New York Herald, of last Tuesday, has
the following paragraph in its Washington cor
respondenoe:
Commodore STOCKTON was here last week
from his Virginia gold mines, but has returned
to New Jersey to fix up his household for a
Congressional cruise. Rely upon it, he will
navigate as fearlessly and successfully upon the
Senate's ocean of politics, diplomacy, oratory,
and ability as he has done upon Gods ocean
with triumphant American squadron under
his naval commission. There is higher des-
tiny for Stockton than the Senate. He pos
sesses all the great qualities of Jackson and
he would make bold, splendid, dashing Presi-
dent"
Commodore Stockton possesses oil the ele-
ments of popularity and success. Sagacious,
bold, fearless, and generous, the friends he
makes are ever ardent and true, while his ad-
versaries are seldom disposed to court a contest
with him. Of fifty-two cards in o pack, he is
a knowing man who can by fair means tell
which viii turn up as the trump; but we have
never heard, nor do we expect to hear, any one
complain of the luck that brings up Jack, even
q genuine high-souled Jack Tar Would it not
be precious sight to see such one in COM
mand of the glorious old ship of State?
