Science Of Sound.

1t is curious fact in the history of sounds,
that the loudest noises perish almost on the
spot where they are produced, whereas mu-
steal tones will be heard at distance. Thus
if we approach within nile or two Of the
town or village in which fair is held, We
may hear very family the clamor Of the null
titude, but most distinctly the organ, and
other musical instruments which are played
for their amusement. If a Cremona violin,
Amati, bo played by the side of modern,
the latter will sound much the louder of the
two, but the sweet, brilliant tones Of the
Amati will be heard at a distance the other
cannot reach. DR.. Young, on the authority of
Durham, states that at Gibraltar the human
voice was heard at the distance of ten miles.
1t is we'll known fact that tho huraan voice
is heard at greater distance than that of
any other animal. Thus when the cottager
in the woods, or in the open plains wishe5
to call her husband, who is working at 3
distance, she does not shout, but pitches her
voice to musical key, which he knows frona
habit, and by that means reaches his ear.
The loudest roar OF the largest lion could
not penetrate so far.
'This property Of music in the human
VOICE, says all GuCHOi, Is SlilhliSit oSoh All
the cathedral abroad. Hence the mass is
entirely performed in musical sounds, and
becomes audible to the devotee, however
placed in the remotest part of the church;
whereas if the same service had been read,
the sounds would not have travelled beyond
the precincts Of the choir" Those orators
who are heard in large assemblies most dis
tinctly, are those who in modulating the
voice, render it most musical. Loud speak
ers are seldom heard to advantage. Bulke's
voice is said to have been sort of lofty cry,
which tended as much as the formality OF
his discourse in the House of Commons, to
send the members to dinner "Chatham's
lowest whisper was distinctly heard; his mid
die tone was sweet, rich and beautifully
varied" Says writer describing the orator
"when he raised his voice to its highest
pitch, the house was completely filed with
the volume of the sound; and the effect was
awful, except when he wished to cheer and
animate; and then he had a spirit-stirrine
note, which was perfectly irresistible. The
terrible however, was his peculiar power
then the house sunk before him. Still he
was dignifed-and powerful as was his elo
quence, it was attended with this importan
effect, that it possessed every one with a con
viction that there was something in him
finer even than his words, that the man was
infinitely greater than the orator."

ENGLAND AND MExIco.-The fact that
England is abont nlakeing a naval demon
stra,ion against Mexico, is of some interest
to our readers, and We will briefly state the
cause of the difficulty. Mexico is indebted
to British capitalists to the amount of $751;
2O8,000 The entire national debt is $lO2,-
G36,9Oo saddlng an annual interest pay
ment of $3,333,00O on that unhappy and i'm
poverished country. Just as the nation, un-
der the energetic administration Of Comon-
fort. is about emanci patng itself from cleri-
cal control, and many other of the evils that
have always been the stumbling blocks to its
progress, John Bull steps in and paralyses
the existing government by presenting his
bill, on the jib-boon of a ship of war. The
claim is no doubt just, but John should
make some allowance, especially as he was
so wroth with Brother Jonathan for doing
similar act, at time when there were no
palliating circumstances, and TO favorable
symptoms of better order Of things in Mex
leo. John Bull breaches we'll, but practices
badly.--.S. f. San.

PRoPosED REMOVAL OF THE lUBA INDIANS
TO THE NOME LAcKEE REsERyArIoN.-Last
Monday, Col I. }. Henley, Indian Agent,
accompanied by several Of the Marysvle
city officials and others, visited Iuba city for
the purpose Of making known to the luba
tribe Of Indians the wishes of the Depart
ment. The Marysville HeraM says on this
subject
The visitors We're met at Iuha City by
Gen. J. A. Sutter, who accompanied Colonel
Henley and his party to the Council Wigwam
of the Yubas. There they found assembled
a large company of Indians from the Hook,
Yukulmey, Clash, and Yuba tribes. Colonel
Henley having made known to Gen. Sutter
the purpose of his visit, requested him to in
form the Indians OF the same, which he pro-
ceeded to do in Spanish. After the General
had finished his talk" Capt. NJ. y. Robbins
addressed the Indians in their own dialect,
informing them of the advantages to be de-
rived to them by removal. Wakataw,
Chief of the Yubus, replied. Wakataw said
the Yubas were willing to 90, but asked for
a months delay, that they might have two
dances more, and time to eat up the provi-
sions they had on hand. COL Henley con
sented to the delay, but gave them to under
stand that no longer time would be granted
The Colonel then addressed few remarks to
the whites who were peesent, urging them
as good citizens to aid the government in
the removal of the Indians, and cautioning
evil disposed persons, if such there were
against endeavoring, for the sake of personal
gain, to thwart so humane movement
Oitey, Chief of the Hook, OIoi, Chief of the
Clash, and three good looking Indian sol
diers who served under Gen. Suter during the
administration of Micheltorreno, were present
at the interview. The prospect now is, that
the Indians will be removed in about month
