PATRooN.
Yours &c.

The MINT-By the kindness of the Su-
perintendent, Dr. Birdsall, we had the pleas
ure of seeing specimen of the new coinage
of halfdollars, which was began, for the
first time, yesterday morning. The coin is
beautiful one, the die being of the most
finished and artistic description. Under
the eagle is the letter S, to designate the
place of coinage. In other respects it is ex-
actly similar to those made at Philadelphia
or New Orleans. We learn from the Super
intendent that gold dust is now pouring in,
and that the Mint is kept in operation up
to its full capacity. S. f. News.

Interior of Cuba.

Less than one third of the land in Cuba
being under cultivation, large regions are
as little known as the interior of Asia
From every height which the traveller at
tains, he may descry horizon teeming with
wonder and with fancy, out of the ignorance
and silence Of whose purple mystery no
voice has come these hundred years. There
are forests, the refuge of the wild dog and
wilder man, the fierce Maroon, the black
pioneer OF doom, haunting the outskirts of
tyrannoS ucivilization. There are moun-
tains unmeasured and unguaged, COUGHING.
it may be, above treasures which the yenoe-
full Cemis hid from the greedy murderers of
his mild worshippers.
Much of the inhabited interior. too, is as
little visited as the western slopes of the
southern Alleghanies. The primitive meth
cd Of travelling and the antique hospitality
of the rural regions, throw charm of medi-
9val unreality over scenes that may be real
ly explored. The magnificent vale of Ma
riel, fair as those outer realms of Paradise
over which the eyes of Adam ranged from
his "heaven-kissing verdurous wallis" the
romantic cliffs that mirror their wealth of
flowers in the green glistening waters of the
winding Canibar; the mighty sleeps of the
Iona de lndra, from whose heights the view
sweeps to either ocean, and away to the dim
blue hills of Jamaca: the endless fragrant
palm-Studded solitudes of the southwest;
the picturesque ravines of the northeast.
where young girls may be seen riding on
the backs of oxen; the subterranean streams
gushing suddenly into the moonlight from
the blackneSs Of the sumderoS or caverns,
which hOneycOmb the surface of the island;
the hundred sequestered hooks where still
the guagiro chants his rude improvisations
melodiOus and full Of meaning as the cries
OF bellman, or the songs of gondolier,
and charms, in the Skillful gymnastics of the
zapateadO, groups of soft-eyed girls, grace
ful as the palm trees arching overhead; all
these you reach over roads that transport
you to the middle ages. Rudely marked
out with limits which the irrepressible gush
of vegetable life is continually obliterating.
worn by the huge wheels of ox-carts, often
leading you through the small rivers of the
country, and always guiltless of even the
semblance of bridge, these Highways"
make Ineligible to you the old Froissart's s
hesitation in recording the feat of that
young Percy, who actually travelled from
Berlin to Ghent in fourteen days to join the
army of King Edward III. Riding along
these wretched roads you meet only the
most primeval vehicles, long files of pack
horses and mules, and armed horsemen gilt
tering with spur and sword.

AGRICULTURE AND HoRTICULTURE.-At
no period probably since the settlement of
the city has greater activity existed in the
cultivation of the land in this vicinity than
at the present writing There is scarcely
an enclosure within the city limits that can
not boast of acquisitions either in the form
OF flowers, native or exotic, ornamental
shrubbery, or fruit or shade trees. There
are at various points extensive gardens filled
with an infinite variety of vegetation, under
successful and scientific culture. The large
district of the city below the r street levee
is in peculiarly high state of cultivation
the soil being exceedingly rich, a black
loan, freely worked, and laid out with geo.
metrical precision. Under the favorable
influence of the recent rains, these gardens
are blooming with every description of ia
BILE vegetables, fruit trees, &C. Greater
facilities than ordinary have attended the
improvement Of the land during the present
year. The admitted adaptation of our sol
and climate to the culture of fruit, &c. tC
an almost indefinite extent, has resulted il
the large importation of seeds, &c. from al
parts of the earth, and their circulation
through the community, at prices enabling
all to purchase. So also we are fully pro
vided with agricultural implements of every
suitable description. From our observa
tions Of what has been already done anC
the spirit that is rife in our midst, we arr
satisfied that the lapse of two or three shor
years will find us amply provided with fruit
&c. of an excellent quality.

THE BRIDAL.-We have never heard any,
thing that pleased us better, says the Wauer-
ly Magaetne, than A. S. CoRNwELLs late
piece: The Bridal" So happily conceived
and so perfectly executed a piece of rhyme
it has seldom been the good fortune of any
journal to usher into existence. 1t reads
like delicious morsel from some of the old
master poets; indeed j John Keats, or Shell
ley even seldom wrote anything better. 1t
is a very crown on the brow of the young
author. But read the following:
What time before the shrine they stood
The nuptial music ceased;
All save the passionate, low interlude,
That tremhlingly decreased
To a sOf ,chisper hickling do,cn the keys,
Involving snatcbes of old melodies,
Until the VOW was taken,
And from the Heavens above
Perpetual benedction supplicated
On them, the wedded-w worthy-mated,
Bold-hearted youth, and everlasting love!
Then, lUith impetuous erultdtiOn shaken,
Smooth organ chorals rose again sublime,
And all the deep bells swung in chime
Andj jarr' d the air tcith joys delicious madness'
Again the children shouted in new gladness,
Twine flowers, they said about her head,
With myrtle from the mountain side,
And douHe-blushing roses crown the bride,
For fairer bride was never we'd"

FARMING PRoFIrs IN Los ANGELES
The following facts are stated to show the
profits of farming in the the southern coun-
ties, despite the ruinous prices which have
prevailed during the past year. They are
from letter which appears in the Califor-
MIA Chronicle:
s'The finest crops of barley, wheat, corn,
beans, pumpkins, &C., have been raised on
this ranch-a large portion of which is now
offered for sale to suit even the prices of
hard working farmers. Exodus considers
farming overdone, and prottless. This may
be true to those working on borrowed cap
ital, but not to laborers themselves and on
their own means, who are not compelled to
sell as soon as their crops are gathered.
To show the profits of farming, will add,
that at the present time in this region bar
ley is worth four cents per pound, wheat
two and half cents, corn two and half
cents, etc, etc. This land yields forty-fye
bushels minimum average) of wheat and
barley, ane thirty-fye bushels of corn to the
acre, and other articles in proportion. For
beauty of climate, location, and convenience
to market, few places take precedence. 10

New ARRANGEMENT.-By late informa
ton, conveyed through the columns O
D'Echo du PacJfque, we are advised al
length of the probable new arrangements
consequent on the opening of the Panama
Railroad. 1t is stated that the California
Oregon, Northerner and Republic are all
undergoing process of transformation from
passenger ships to transports, and that on
their completion they will form regular
line Of transportation between this city and
Panama for goods from the East. A move
ment of this character may well occasion US
thought for moment, as to what effect II
will produce on our general trade; whether
with our goods only forty days time from
New York, we are in future to remain the
victims of SO much uncertainty and specu-
lation. Whatever the effect, the cause can
not be otherwise than an admirable measure
of Improvement to our city. 1t is stated,
furthermore that at the end of the present
month the rates of paSssge between New
York and San Francisco are to be cut down
one-half, while no alteration is to be made
in those running between San Francisco
and New York.

Hope let the wretch once conscious of the joy,

Speak, for he can, and none so well as he,
What treasures centre, what delights in thee.
Had he the gems, the spices, and the land,
That boasts the treasure, all at his command;
The fragrant grove, tn inestimable mine,
Were light, when weigh'd against one smile of
thine.
Eternal hope! when yonder sphere sublime
Peald their first notes to sound the march of
time,''
Thy joyous youth began-but not to fade
When all the sister planets have decay'd;
When wrapped in fire the realms of ether glow,
And heav'ns last thunder shakes the world below:
Thou, undismay'd, shalt DER the ruins smile
And light thy torch at natures funeral pill eli
