Coal MINES IN ALAMEDA CoUNTY.-Among
the California productions exhibited at the Fair
of the Mechanics Institute San Francisco,
which are passed over by the casual observer,
saws the S. +. National. we notice specimens of
coal from mine recently opened in Alameda
county. A very nnostcntatious card informs
the visitor that these specimens are from vein
situatpL thirty-six miles distant from Oakland.
and within fifteen miles OF navigabe water: d
that the vein is nine and one half feet in thick
ness and in working condition. After great
deal Of enquiry We learned that the quality Of
the coal had been thoroughly tested. and pro-
nounced superior to any that has yet been found
on this coast. Judging from the specimens we
saw Mt the Fair. the claim Of superiority il not
unfoundrd. W. are only surprised that the for
tunate Uwner Of the mine has not taken more
pains to make the discovery public.
NEw QuATz LODE.-A rich quartz discovery
was made Oh the 7th inst. near Valleciio, GU
the Sonora road. A letter to the Alta says that
II has prosp, cted from two to fourteen deliars
to the pau. The gold can plainly be seen in all
the rock so fur taken out. The gulches sur
rounding the hill which the discovery was
made have pad largely. Pieces of gold have
been found IN them weighing from seven dol
lars to thirteen ounces, which go to show that
there are rich quartz veins from whence these
pieces have some.

Paris correspondent says that the Emperor Napoleon

great problem in eronautics the art Of flying He has
invented kind of air ship consisting of platform of
silk stretched whalebone to be propelled by gi
gantc wings Of the material placed each side
The aerial navigator is to be suspended at distance
about four feet from the platform, while his feet rest
pedals by means of which the wings set in motion
while his arms rest lever, which imparts TO the plat
form the direction he chooses to give it. Only model
of this machine has yet been constructed and appears
to work we'll Thanks to the Emperors muniicence it
is about to be constructed large scale This

man at the head of affairs in France towards the
progress Of science and the mechanic arts 1t was he
who took the initiative step in making European re-
Enumeration to Professor Morse for his service in
bringing the magnetic telegraph from the region Of spec

his he has shown marked hvo to all inventors
