llonE-l know of no passage in CLASH
cal literature more beautiful or affecting
Than that where Nenophon, in his inaba-
SIS, describes the eilec, produced on the
reinnans OF the ten thousand Greeks when,
after passing through dangers without mum
Der. they at length assembled sacred
mountsin. and, from its peak and summit
caugh, sigh. Of the sea. Dashing down their
bucAlers, with hymn Of Joy they rushed
unanimously forward Some wept with
,he fuliness Of their deiirious pleasure, 9th
ers laughed, and more fell Gu their knees
and blessed that broad ocean. Across its
blaze waters, little floating seabirds, the
memorials Of their happy homes came and
tanned their weary souls. All the perlls
they had encountered, all the companions
they had lost, all the miseres they had en-
ldUFed. were in an instant forgotten, and
noush, was with them bu, the gentle phan-
IONS Of past and future JOYS. One was a
gain securing on his flee, s,ced across the
hoof trodden plains Of Thessaly; another
reclined beueaih the ilower-crowned rocks
Of Arcadia, and gazed into the dream,
ewes of her whose form, amid battle and
bivouac, was ever with him; third recall
ed that proud day when, before the stream
ing eyes Of his oyerjoyed parents, and amid
The reclamation of all Greece, he bore of
from amid competitors the laurel wreath Of
the Olymplan victor.
Oh! home, magical spell, all powerful
home! how strong must have been thy in
ll1ence, when thy faintest memory could
cause those bronzed heroes Of thousand

The cooling freshness Of desert fountain
with the sweet fragrance Of flower found
in winter, you came across the great va

The peaceful shadow Of your wings their
souls found rest.

Since my last, there h rs not been anything very
material or interesting transpirng in far famed
and remarkable city, with the exception of the
hanging of the man Stuart, Of which give you
perfect account in this letter. Business of all kinds
has been excessively dull, although there have been
but very few arrivals; fewer, think, than at any
time for the last three months in fact, some days
there has not been single arrival at this port from
any other. The auction rooms have been daily
nlled with all descriptions Of merchandise, which
has been put aaoat ut runous prices to the seller.
On some days there have been from ten to fifteen
large auction sales in various parts of the city. In
my opinion there is on hand at present, and with
that which has been shipped and daily expected to
arrive, sufficient iantity Of stock to last this
State at the lowest calculation fifteen months, and
probably longer and should certainly advise our
friends to cease shipping for a shors season, say
from SIX TO nine months. As far as the gold dust is
concerned, | have not the slightest doubt but
that the yield Of gold from the various mines, by
quartz and otherwise, will, for the current year,
amount to at least $75 ,000, COO This may appear
very large in figures, but it is nevertheless true.
The quartz operations are paying immensely, and
keep improving. The mines of California are
great now, being worked they ought to be, and
their immense prodactiveness will astonsh the
whole known world. San Francisco is partially
recovering from the shocks of the two fires which
have visited her lately Many large and magnif-
cent buildings, Of brick and stone, have been
erected on different streets, some of them at
great cost. The principal ones are those erected
by Macondray Co, Grogan Lent, and
Others, on Sansome street; Adams & Co. lex
press), Wells & Co., Mr.. Davidson (Roths-
chlld's agen), Bolton, Barrow & Co, Mont
gomery street; besides two large and elegant
theatres on the Plaza. As regards immigration to
this country, by the statement which 1 annex,
taken from Custom House files, about as many
leave the country as arrive The following shows
the arrivals and departures, for the months Of May
and June, 1851 -
