PAY THE PRINTER BEFORE You Go.-An
individual by the name Of Ehrenburg, who
was one of the departures per Golden Gate
Of the 5th inst, was in debt to various
printing Offices in this city for advertising.
Previous to leaving the wharf he addressed
a note to one Of his creditors-who knew
nothing Of his Swartwouting Intentions
in which he dilated upon the fact of his
getting off so nicely, without settling up"
as a mighty smart thing. Unfortunately
the steamer, owing to an accident, returned,
and our over-shrewd hero was called upon
to fork over that fifty dolars-which, with
rather a bad grace, he did, and received a
notice in the newspapers besides. This
latter fact-oWing to our citizens being q
newspaper reading community-scared up
two other claims against Mr. Ehrenberg,
which Being presented-through the me
dium Of a policeman-one mighty smart
man had to satisfy. Sum total of indebt-
edness liquidated, in one instance, by the
breaking down of the Golden Gate, $244.
No wonder the shaft broke-it couldn't
stand the pressure. Francisco Tines,

France and England.

There is some likelihood, Just now, Of q
considerable degree Of enmity arising be-
tween the governments Of France and Eng
land, at no very remote period. Whether
this belligerent feeling will amount to open
hostility or not, no one can predict, but it
certainly looks as if the Alliance was in
some danger. England has long been re-
garded as land Of refuge for foreign rev.
olutionary patriots, and has extended a
hospitality to them, that has become al
most proVerbial. France, since the attemp-
ted assassination of the Emperor Napoleon,
in the Rue Lepelleter, has been seeking to
suppress" such personages, and looks upon
England almost as an accessory and abet-
tor Of their (so-called) misdeeds. The war
in the Crimes produced many tender spots
in the sworn sisterhood Of the nations, and
some Of these are still very sore. Both the
Gallo and Anglican armies claim nearly
all the glory, and the governments, in CONF
plimenting their soldiers, said as little as
they could about each other, on the princi-
Pile Of every goose deluding itself with the
Belief that its own particular goslings are
swans in embryo. Lately, that profound
wag, the London Punch, had fine caricas
ture, representing the Gallo cock, in the
uniform Of a Colonel in the French army,
tapping his epaulets, and growing out a
strain Of fierce defiance to the English,
while the Emperor, ridiculously travestied,
runs out of bis house, exclaiming that the
horrible bird will scare the whole neighbor-
hood Some jocose young members Of
London club, admiring this picture very
much, purchased a large number Of the
copy Of PHHek which contained it, and cut
ting out the caricature, enclosed one to eV-
cry Colonel Of the French army, whose ad-
dress could be procured. This Is but q
small matter, but It is a straw which shows
which way the wind Of public feeling blows
II England and France shOHld 60 TO war,
the contest would be tremendous one, and
would convulse the whole Of Europe. Both
governments would inevitably be ruined,
and nothing could possibly be gained. With
these facts, it is somewhat self-evident that
the best policy for both is peace, and, Il
possible, a continuance Of the Alliance,

No MORE STEAM BonERs AND no MoRE
ExPLosIoNs.-A late article in the Wor-
cester MASS } Spy explains an invention
by a gentleman in that city, which threat
ems total abolition" to the old steam boil
ers
The story is in the highest degree Sim
portant If true and while we cannot help
remembering that the great unshop and
bis famous humbug discovery by which he
promised to illuminate all'the world with
cold water, once held forth and bis local
habitation in Worcester, we cannot refrain
from giving the description Of this new dis
coVery, through which all the world is TO be
propelled by hot water, from sea to sea
and from shore to shore" with perfect safe
ty and perfect celerity.
Starting with the announcement that IN
our ordinary steam boilers the great excess
Of water used 10 insure safety over the
quantity required to make steam, aud the
expenditure of caloric force necessary to
the disintegration Of the aqueous particles
must usually consume some 80 per cent. Of
the motive value Of the caloric, and infer.
ring from this fact that IL EVERY integrant
particle Of water could be surrounded BY
an atmosphere Of caloric, an instantaneous
conversion Of the former into vapor would
ensue, aud we should have, as result the
converse of the condensation Of steam by
the cold jet-the generation Of an instan-
taneous expansive force at q mere nominal
expenditure of caloric; the writer proceeds
to description Of the invention which at
tains this desirable result; remarking Of It,
that 1t removes all danger from explosion,
reduces the first cost Of the engine so per
cent, and reduces the running expenses TO
comparative trife. 'The engine" be
says, "has all the characteristics Of the high
pressure steam engine, occupying the same
space, and working with the same energy
and precision, but minus any boiler. A
small tank, not larger than the cylinder,
which contains water that never becomes
hot, takes the place Of the huge, death
dealing boiler With everything cold as
the start, the engine works up to pres
sure Of thirty-Six ponds to the inch, in
three minutes. A statement Of the amount
Of heat required to produce the result, (he
remarks) would seem incredible to any but
those actually witnessing the work being
done. We will venture, however, to re-
mark, that the amount required to develop
horse power in one minute, would not
raise the temperature Of quart Of water
to the boiling point in one hour"

B%Advices from the capital Of Mexico
to the 9th inst, represent the country to be
in most deplorable condition, indeed, in a
state of actual anarchy The Extraordi-
nary says that robbery succeeds robbery
upon the public highways in such rapid
succession that merchants will soon be
forced to suspend entirely bringing goods
to the capital 1t says it is almost impos-
Sible to conceive the real condition oi
things, much less to convey any just idea
Of what il is to persons at distance. The
Zuloago government seems to be absolutely
powerless to establish order. 1t had made
q forced levy to secure soldiers, and for this
purpose was seizing upon servants as they
issue from the houses Of their employers.
zulOagO, it appears, has appointed Govern
Ors to the States, districts and cities, but
the sppointees were utterly unable to as
sumo their functions, and do not dare even
to attempt to. The Juarez, or federal gov
sTnment was at Guadalajara, and its friends
report that the States of the interior are
combined to overthrow that of Zuloaga.-
The forces Of the latter, it was supposed,
would soon attack the State of Vera Cruz.
Two diligence robbers were executed at
Acatingo on the 18th ultimo. A convoy,
with some $4,000 and munitions, on the
way from Mexico, for the reactionists in
Puebla, had been taken by the federal
forces They possessed themselves Of the
money and provisions, but burnt the wag-

Revival IN A PRINTING OFFIcE.-Prayer
meetings, says the New York Tribune,
have been held daily at one Of the larger
printing Offices in this city since the 9Th Of
March, with increasing interest. At the
commencement Of the meetings there were
but four or five converts, with very few
participants, and now the number ranges
as high as twelve or fourteen. The inter
est manifested at those meetings is very
great. One Of the recent converts says:
What are we to expect when printing
Offices are converted into religious chapels?
1t is, as far as my knowledge extends, I'M
precedented in the history of any country,
and will, no doubt, astonish many reader"
As the meetings are held between the hours
Of - and o'clock, some Of the men go
without their dinner for the sake Of attend

communication.
CoNFIRMAToRY FROM SALT LAKE.-The
Sacramento Union Of May 10th published
telegraphc dispatches from Placerville,
confirming the news via Los Angeles, oi
the evacuation of Salt Lake City by the
Mormons. The following is brief account
of the affair
"On April 1st, Col. Johnston sent a
courier to Salt Lake, informing them that
he should take up his line of march for
that city Immediately on the return of the
express. The reception of this news caused
great excitement throughout the city.
Brigham Immediately ordered a carriage
to be sent to Fort Bridger, to bring Gov.
Cumming and suite, welcoming him to
Salt Lake City. Young, at the same time,
issued proclamation to all the Saints to
euacuate the holy city and take up their
line of march south. At this order the
Saints rebelled, declaring that they wonld
not leave until they had first laid the city
in ashes. Brigham then commanded them
to leave Immediately, taking what they
could carry, leaving untouched what they
could not take. This last order they
obeyed and when this party arrived at
the city, one-half had already left, and
others were leaving in scores, as fast as
possible. In the city, all was hustle and
confusion The Mormons were eager to
sell their stock to the teamsters. All our
informants could learn was, that rendez-
vous would be formed in Iron county,
preparatory to further movements to the
south"
