DistlnguIsl,ed peparture.

The mighty genius, whose powerful mind,
enlarged views and immense capacity has
made his name famous from Cheapside to the
submits of the Rocky Mountains, to whose un-
paralleled enterprise the Gold Land of the West
is indebted for many of its greatimproyements,
whose lavish expenditure has contributed so
mmeasurably to the happiness of those where
his possessions e," who would "never rest
till peace and good feeling was restored" whose
position in the political world, gained solely by
his iustrious talents as a statesman and pat
riot, has gained for him the love and venera-
ton of even the darkest Of humanity, to whose
brilliant talent as military leader we are so
much indebted for the quiet possession of this
rich territory, (the minenl wealth of which
he so despised that he craved but few acres
of agricultural and grazing lands, y whose
selfsacrifcing love of country and a profound
reverence for her institutions made him bent on
being Chief Magistrate of this people, (but
which purpose was thwarted by an unfortunate
want of appreciation on their part,) has left us !
Yes, scarce had the last words of welcome
been pronounced and our eyes blessed with a
sight of his loved form, ere, like CLEAN of
sunshine, he has disappeared.
With imperial Caesar, he should excaim
eeni, oidi,-yes, eici; for has he not con-
quered all by his amiability and kindness ?
Some say that he was, during his stay
in these parts so hemmed in by parties who
came with him, and his agents here, or was SO
unwell at times, that he was as inaccessible as
the Great Mogul But of course this cannot
be; there are some people who are always
grumbling-never satisfied. He took away
several tons of quartz-he will shortly return
we wish him a safe voyage down to-

CoL. WELLER AT SANTA BARBARA.-On the
10th, says the Gazette number of distin
guished personages arrived, among whom were
Hon. John B. Weller, Governor elect, and his
brother, the Postmaster of San Francisco, and
their ladies.
They came up to town, and the ladies, un
der the gallant auspices Of Don Pablo de Ia
Guerra, had pleasant ride up to the Mission
In the meantime, the Governor was intro
duced to many of his constituents, who assisted
in giving the great majority which he has re
ceived, and deservedly so, for no one has rep
resented our State with more talent and dig
nifty in Congress than he.
His election to the highest position his
adopted State could give him, proves that his
services have been duly appreciated, and tha
this is one honorable exception to the proverf
that republics are ungrateful.
The patriotic citizens brought out their can
non, and gave the Governor a national saut.
on his departure in the evening.

Delhi still holds out-the rainy season had set in,
which it doubtful whether the British troops
could withstand. To the north of Delhi, the British
had defeated the mutineers but TO the seuth the re-
volntion was spreading. The armies of Bombay and
Madras have remained faithful.
T. The Overland Mail arrived on Aug 18TH with news
from Calcutta TO the 5th and Bombay TO the 18th

had been two most severe engagements outside the

NIcARAGUA.-The Gaceta Official, of August 22d,
has long editorial advocating the union of the States
of Costa Rica and Nicaragua under government,
which proposition has been made to Costa Rica and,
it is said, is favonby received by the people of Mica
ragua
COSTA RIoA.-A severe article in the Croniea of
Sept. I'd, shows that feeling of jealousy and Lwi
already exists against Nicaragua, and declares that
Costa llica will not permit Nicaragua to make any
cession of the Transit to Vanderbilt As the Cronica
is entirely under the control of the government this
shows concusvey the approach Of a rupture between
the two countries.
Mr. W. Carey Jones had left San Jones had left San
Jose and was in Puntarenas, on his way to Nicaragua
His business with the Costa Rcan government still re-
maned mystery but it was said that he left the cap
ital on bad terms with the Government.
A report had reached Puntarenas, by the Serapique
mail, that Nicaragua had seized the San Juan river
boats in the name of Vanderbilt. The correctness of
this statement was doubted and we have received
no confirmation Of it by way of San Juan del Norte,
nor probably San Juan del Sur, Ito September 2d) it
is probably unfounded.
