There i* curious case of lunacy gnding before the Lord

igtand. the particulars of which are thus condensed by the New York Poat The question arises before the Lord Chancellor, upon a motion to supersede or discharge a commission of lunacy taaued against Dvce Sotnbre, the alleged lunatic.

Company, but, while she lived, Mr. Dyce Sombre had acted the part of an independent prince, and after her death •till retained large wealth. He immediately resolved on going to England. He came by way of Calcutta, where he met Sir C. Metcalfe, and accompanied him in the voyage in the year 1838. He became acquainted in that year with Lord St. Vincent, whose daughter he afterwards married.

Chancellor, In

This Mr. Dyed Sombre was the son ol Col. Dyce, bv a female in the harem of the Begum Somroo. He was born in 1809, was adopted as her heir, and brought up as her own child. He received some instruction from «tn fc.nfflish chaplain at Meerut, yet he was brought up «n Asimlo. The Begum had adopted the Roman Catholic faith, and only in that did she differ from the other natives. Her establishment was Eastern in all its details. With the Asl„ics the point of honof w« .h. uk.Erie, of the women personal truth ®n(Jjn Exporting Co., teirritv were not so much regarded. I he Urban* Bank Beeum died in 1836. Her sovereignty Granville, her death to the East India

His position on his arrival was this: he was young and rich, an Eastern in Education and blood his sudden introduction, therefore, to the circles of fashion and rank in England must have had a powerful effect on his mind. He soon conceived a desire to marry into an English family. Those who knew him in India, warned him that he would not be happy that his nature, education and habits were such that he could not accommodate himself to English society, far less to the tastes of an English wife. This was stated to him by General Ventura, who had known him in India, and on meeting him in Paris resolved, from the regard he entertaiued for him, to act towards him as a father. Mr. Sombre having expressed a desire to form a connection with some English family, the General told him that, from his knowledge of his character and opinions, he was confident that such a marriage would prove an unhappy one. The only passport Mr. Sombre had to the circles in which he was received was his wealth. He was a gentleman of some education, and possessed ot ordinary intellect. Serious consequences might have been expected to follow his marriage with an English woman.

The eflfoct of his Asiatic education was to produce jealousy. The marriage took place in 1840. He who had been bred to the customs of entire seclusion of the women, was now expected to accommodate himself to tbo tree intercourse and usages of English society.— Ho had married a lady, of whom General Ventura said she was the most beautiful and charming lady he had ever seen. This sprightly and charming lady was the wonmn ol all others, without imputing to her the slightest impropriety, the most likely to excite the jealousy of a man such as Mr. Sombre. From the year 1040 ho grew more and more imperious towards her, till, in March, 1843, he was placed under restraint.

This case has been in litigation ever •inco, and was on argument the day previous to the sailing of the steamer. The testimony is interesting but exceedingly voluminous. The amount of it i-» that there was no compatibility of taste or culturo between the parties, and because the lady was among her own kind, he was the insane party whereas, if they were living in India, by the same rule she would be esteemed the lunatic, and he the pattern of husbands.

The moral of this litigation is a good one to those who read it intelligently.

"APPEALING TO THE INWARD NATURE OK CHILDREN."—Writers on education now-a-days, in treating of the government of children, have much to say about "appealing to their inward nature/' The doctrine was practically illustrated in School stieet, on Sunday last. A lady finding some difficulty in making a couple oi children walk home from church in a becoming manner, said to them: "If you behave so, see if you don't have to take some castor oil as soon as you got home. Now take my wort! for it just as sure as you are alive." The children immediately drew up demurely by her sido, and moved along as gravely as mutes at a funeral.—Boston Post.

MARRIAGE OF AN AMERICAN IN CHILI. —Mr. Barton, U. S. Charge d'AfTai res to Chill, recontly was married to a wealthy lady In that country, the Signorita Donna—something or other. The ceremony was performed by the chaplain of the U. S. ship Independence. The Catholic Bishop refused his sanction to the nuptials, on account of the Charge being a Protestant and the lady a Catholic. After the marriage was performed by tho Chaplain, the Bishop asserted that tho minister had a wife then living in the U. States, whereupon the minister addressed a note to the Bishop, demanding an apology, with ihe threat that unless one was given within twenty-four hours, it would become a national affair!

CALIFORNIA GOLD! DIKOntlD Mt ftlCitfOR D'ALVEAR'S OOLDOBTfiffcRt tub

Gold Seeker'* Guide! 4b OR, iacret Art of Cading Gold, Silrer, Iroa,

Lead, Copper, Coel. aad ether Mineral Itickes. The first dlaeovery ofgold In California was made by DON J08B tTALVEAR, an eminent Spanish Geologist, Chemist, and Natural PMloso* pner, by means of a newly invented Magnetic instrument, called The Goldometart or Gold Seeker's tiliidet

Signor D'Alvear has just arrived at New York from the Gold regions of California, by way of Panama, chagres, and New Orleans, bringing with him a very large qosnilty 01 gold on, valued at nearly one million ot dollars, *blch he collected there, long before (he existence of ine Gold mines became known to die residents of Cslitornia generally.

History of the Discovery.

Signor D'Alvear went out to California nearly two years ago, in Consequence of certain information which he had received of the eeoloaical char

scter of that country, with the firm belief that vast mines of precious metals would be revealed there upon careful investigation. He was encouraged to this enterprise, slso, by his confidence ini the powers of a certain magnetic instrument which ne had invented.called the "Goldometer,Hoy whose aid he expected to be directed at once to the "Gold Placers," if any such existed. Nor were his expectations disappointed. His scientific calculations proved to be founded in truth and profound wisdom, and his new instruments the "Goldometer," fulfilled his highest hopes. In less than two months after reaching California, he struck upon one of the richestgold mines in that country, upon an obscure branch of the Sacramento river, in a gorge of lulls extremely rocky and difficult of ac cess, and seldom visited by the native Californians. Disguising his object nnder the pretence of purely scientific research, he obtained the aid of some fifteen or twenty simpleand faithful Indiana, and Bteadity pursued his task, collecting often more than §3,000 Worth of gold in a single day. which he concealed in a deep ravine, without exciting any suspicion whatever, until after the discovery of gold at Cnpt. Sutter's mill when the mountains were ransacked by gold 'aeekera, and Signor D'Alvear's -'gold placer." the richest in all California, was beset witn greedy adventurers. It is now found that the real mines or sources of the gold, lie in the gorges of the mountains, and not in the beds or sands of the rivers. Previous to leaving California, Signor D'Alvear sold his instrument, the Goldometer, a very imperfect one, for #3,000. The person who purchased it confidently expected to make a handsome fortune by simply finding "gold placera" and selling out the right of digging to the gold workers.

Manufactnre of the CJoldometer, and Publication of the Guide* Signor D'Alvear, in compliance with the request of numerous scientific gentlemen, has commenced the manufacture of his new magnetic instrument, the GOLDOMETER, which he now offers for sale in the United States, at the remarkbly low price of THREE DOLLARS each, accompanied by full instructions for use, and a variety of philosophical hints, drawn from the ancient and modern sciences, or

The Art of finding Mines of Gold! Silver, Platinum, Quicksilver, 'onl, Iron, Copper. Lead, and other Mineral Riches, the whole being given in a publication called the

Gold Seeker's Guide!

This new work and the GOLDOMETER, art both now ready for sale. The GOLDOMETER is so simple an instrument that a child may learn to operate with it in five minutes. It is not affected by climate, moisture, or any other known cause, (except the natu ral magnet,) and will retain its power of pointinr out mineral riches in the earth for any number o" years. By the aid of the guide any person maj use the instrument with perfect success.

Farmers and Land OwnCffc Farmers and land owners throughout the Umtw States, who have reason to suspect the existent of any kind of mineral riches upon their lands' should avail themselves of this opportunity to ler that fact, by the surest of all known tests, befor the abundance of discoveries in all parts of th country shall have lessened this source of wealtl in their estate.

Adventurers to California. Persons going to California cannot make a better investment than by purchasing one of these instruments, which will not only be worth fifty times its value there, to sell again, but will be of inestimable worth to those who go in search of Gold, as has been proved by the most abundant experiment, both in California and the United States.

Testimonials.

Signor D'Alvear does not deem it necessary to encumber this notice with along list of testimonials, in proof of the value of his GOLDOMETER and GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE. The brilliam result of his labors in California, and the discovery, this very week, of fresh veins of Gold in Virginia, and beds of Coal in Rhode Island, by its use are alone sufficient to Btamp it as the greatest discovery of the age. Nothing but tne extreme cheapness of the instrument, and his desire to see it used for the benefit of mankind, induces him to dispose of it at the low price for which he offer? it. Besides this, his own desire for wealth is nearly satisfied.

The following testimonials, in proof of the value of the Goldometer, selected from a great number equally satisfactory, must suffice for the present:

ASTOH HOUSE, NEW YORK, Dec. 21,1848. The undersigned, Iiaving this day witnessed the practical operation of Signor Jose D'Alvear's newly invented magnetic instrument, the GOLDOMETER. feel entirely satisfied that it possesses the extraordinary power of detecting mineral ores hidden beneath the surface of the earth, and have no doubt it will prove an invaluable aid in the discovery ot the mineral resources of the United States and the world.

J. R. DRAPER, Jr., Chemist. L. S. TIERMAN, Magnetic Ins. Maker. G. S. DANA, Geologist.

Los ANGELOS, CALIFORNIA, August, 1848. This may certify that the undersigned is fully convinced that Signor Jose De Alvear was the first discoverer of the gold deposits of California, and that this discovery waa made by the aid of a magnetic instrument called the GOLDOMETER, which 1 have seen successfully applied to the discovery ot veins of gold ore, in places where no indications of that substance appeared upon the surface of the earth. T. W. SHERMAN, Lieut. 3dArt. U. S. A.

No Agents.

In consequence of the difficulty of finding faithful agents, and of preventing frauds, where articles of this nature are sent out for general sale. Signor De Alvear has determined to sell none ot his works or instruments unless ordered by letters sent directly to him, when the desired publication or instrument will be forwarded under his signa ture and seal, so that all doubt as to its genuine ness mav be removed.

KrBEWARE OF ALL IMITATIONS of this instrument which may hereafter appear, as the secret of imparting the Gold Detecting power is known to no person whatever, except the original inventor.

Kr The GOLDOMETER, and GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE, will both be sent by mail, closely enveloped and sealed, and therefore not subject to inspection by Postmasters.for the sum of THREE DOLL RS, sent post paid to SIGNOR JOSE DE ALVEAR, box 2713, New York City. The Instrument is very light, and the Guide is printed on thin paper—so that the charge by mail or express will be very small to any part of the United States. The price of the GOLD SEEKEER'S GUIDE alone is ONE DOLLAR, sent as above Address
