LAND COMMISSION. - ne Boa d of Land
Commissioners, appou by the Presi-
dent to examine and settle land titles
in California, commenced their regular
sittings in San Francisco on ednesday
the 2lst inst. MIR. Cooley, who Is said
to be a gentleman of ability and high
legal requirements, represents the in
terests of the United States before the
Board. Several claims have already
been presented to the Board for adjust
ment--among others, the celebrated
Mariposa claim of Col. Fremont.
The following are the rules adopted
for the government of the proceedings
of the Board
The mole of bringing the claims spe-
cited in the act of March 3, 1851, be-
fore the Comm ssioners, shall be by pc
titlon in writing, signed by the claiman
or his counsel, addressed to the Com
missioners, and fled with the Secretary
of the Board which petition shall set
forth the names Of the original claim
ants, the nature of the claim, the dates
OF the original grant and of the several
assignments or conveyances, with the
names of the parties thereto, through
which the pr esent claimant deduces his
title, from whom the original title was
derived, the power or authority under
which the granting officer acted, the
quantity Of land claimed, its locality,
when surveyed and when certified by
the Surveyor General, (if thus surveyed
and certi6ed,) and the nature and ex-
tent of every known interfering claim,
with reference to the documentary
and other evidence relied upon by the
claimant; and said petition shall be
accompanied by copy of the original
grant and translation of the same, or
by reasons for net furnishing them.
1T the claimant desires to prosecute
his claim in person, he will, on applica-
ion for that purpose, be aided by clerk
OF the Board in the preparation of his
petition, without charge and will be
allowed all proper facilities in the prose
cutioD of his claim.
The Commissioners as board, or at
their several chambers. will attend to
;he taking of testimony in behalf of the
claimants or of the United States, in
case which are prepared therefor on
due notice being given to the law agent
or the claiman as required by law.
he Commissioners wi from time to
'ime' as occasion may require, adopt and
make known such further rules and
regulations AZ shall seem best calcu-
lated to taci itate the prosecution of the
business before them and to bring it to

The Pendulum Experiments.

Leon Foucalt, the author of the beautiful
experiment relative 10 the movements of the
earth, has addressed the following Interest,"
ing letter TO the Journal des Debats.
Permit me to communicate TO you some
new results of experiments, which have
been prosecuting for some time past, and
which supply some additional phSSicai evi-
dences Of the movements of the earth.
In order TO arrive at new indications Of
that great phenomenon, have assumed the
plane of rotation of a body turning on an
axis, as l had previously used the plane
of oscillation of the pendulum. 1t struck
me that body turning about a principal
axis, which is freely suspended by its CEN
ire of gravity, should like the pendulum
when put in motion, resist the attraction of
the earth's movement. An apparatus con-
structed on this principle has accordingly
furnised the additional proof sought Of the
rotation.
Firmly braced towards the east in abso-
'ue space, the axis of the turnihg body,
when examined with the microscope, seems
TO rctrograde slowly from east TO west; and
travels in a continuous manner over the field
of the instrument, like the image of hea-
vcn'y body in the focus Of the astronomical
glass.
have. moreover, discovered, by expert
mcnt on bodies turning upon themselves, q
singular property which reasoning had sug-
gested 10 me beforehand | refer to force
Of orientation, which tends TO bring the AK
is Of the body into a parallel with that of
/ the earth, and TO dispose at the same time
the two rotations in the same direction
This force Of orientation manifests itself
whenever the axis of the turning body is
maintained in plane fixed Upon the earth,
full liberty Of directing itself in this plane
being left it.
/ This new property Of revolving bodies
gives very marked testimony of the earth's 8
movement, recalling TO some extent the
cvolutions Of the magnetic needle
When 1t acts in horizontal plane, the axis
Of the body seeks the north. and the appa-
ratus acts like 4 dip needle; when it acts in
any verticle plane the axis of rotation in.
