AMtMt PMerlptiM A recent writer to ttie Now York Son from Panama, ®«ys he is rather agreeably ditappointed wlih regard to that place The streets are generally paved and flagged, and though quite narrow, are perfectly clean. The houses are mostly three stories high, and are hot unlike those at Havana in outward appearance, except that they are painted -white. About one-third of the inhabi* tants are Spaniards, and the remainder negroes and muiattoes. The town contains the meanest apology for a market. There are several cathedrals, but all in a dilapidated state,and with cracked bells, which are ringing nearly all the time.—' I saw a chaise in a building this morn* ing, but not a vehicle of any kind in the streets. Every store is a grocery, and you are continually annoyed by the poorer classes, asking you eiiher for cigars or money. The city proper is enclosed by a wall and the entrance is through one gateway, threateningto tumble about your head. The number of houses and inhabitants inside the walls are about equal to that outside, but those outside are of a poorer class. The view seaward is exceedingly beautiful. The bay is variegated witn Islands, or rather mountains, many of which rise up to a considerable height, almost perpendicularly, and are covered with luxuriant grain crops The water in the bay presents a bright smooth surface, spreading out, as it were, in a deep sheet of smiling tranquility, while thousands of water fowls, pdlican-like, skim its smooth surface, reflecting as many thousand shadows, or dive into the placid element to seize their prey.

They Made a Mistake#

Our friend and S-

—one

evening met at the house of an acquaintance some young ladies, for *vhorn both

entlemen entertained tender feelings, a spirit of frolic one of the young ladies blew out the lamp, and our two friends, thinking it a favorable moment to make known the state of their feelings to the fair object of their regard, moved seats at the same instant, and placed themselves as they supposed by the lady's side but she had also moved, and the gentlemen were in reality seated next to each other. As our friends could not whisper without betraying their whereabouts, they both gentely took, as they thought, the soft littie hand of the charmer, artd when after a while they ventured to give a tender pressure, each was enraptured to find it returned with an unmistakable squeeze. It may well be imagined that the moments flew rapidly, in their silent interchange of mutual affection. But the rest wondering at the unusual silence of the gentlemen, one of them noiselessly slipped out and suddenly returned with a light— there sat our friend P. and S. most lovingly squeezing each other's hand—and supreme delight beaming in their eyes. Their consternation and the ecstacy of the ladies may be imagined, but not described. Both gentlemen SLOPKD and P. was afterwards heard to say that he thought all the while S —'s hand felt hardT—Gloucester News.

Forrest and Macready.

Mr. Forrest's last letter has been published aud commented upon. The spirit of opposition is rising in New

York, judging from the following editorial taken from the N. Y. Herald of the 4th inst. "Mr. Macready is en route to New York, and will be here in a short time, for the purpose, probably, of performing an engagement at one of our principal theatres. What success he will meet with we cannot say but we are informed that the friends of Mr. Forrest have determined to crowd the theatre on the first night, and hiss him off the stage if they can accomplish it. This is what Mr. Forrest's friends have determined to do but Mr. Macready's are not idle. They are determined on the other hand, to support him to the utmost of their ability, and in their turn, to drive Mr. Forrest off the stage, when he next makes his appearance in the city.

A GOOD ONE.—The St. Louis Union says that a letter has been received in that city from California, which states that a party of men, who had heard of a very rich deposit of gold somewhere in the mountains, started in search of it with along train of mules and wagons. The Indians hearing of the design of the frien, and wishing to prevent their discovering the mines they were in reari of, fiuttioned thomselves on top of a neighboring mountain tfnd as the tram was passing down the base, rolled down upon it what they supposed to be a number tf huge rocks, which crushed in their course a number of wagons and mules. Aftet the torrent had ceased, the men wero about to resume their journey, but seeing there was a peculiarity in the appearance of the rock, they were induced to examine them more minutely, when, to their great surprise and joy, they discovered that each supposed rocJc was a vast rock of gold.

well known fact that rats entertain an irresistable fondness for anniseed. A gentleman of the name of Bayley. residing in the Hampstead road, had occasion, a short time since, to take down a small bottle of essential oil of anniseed from a cupboard in his kitchen, which he accidetuly let fall, and the bottle was broken, and the contents escaped upon the floor. Before this accident not a rat had for two years been seen upon the premises, but in a day or two afterwards they made their appearance and at this time swarm to so great an extent that every effort to exterminate them has hitherto proved unavailing.

the favorable opportunity presented by the recurrence of the above Delightful Season, offer their grateful acknowledgments to their kind patrons, for the very liberal encouragement which they have received from them during the past year.

More especially are their thanks due, and they are liereby tendered to those constant snd fast friends, "TW'snd "iWP-8eeing that, in season and out of season—in rattling hail, drenching rain, and blinding sleet—mid stormy northern blasts, chilly mists, and numbing snows—throughout tile fierce keen, biting winter, has their united voice been lifted Up, publicly, perseverlngly, and powrigors ot keen, biting erfully in our behalf!

Yes! we tak,e pleasure in acknowledging that" Tom"and "JBIU" have worked for us lik« a—

And we assure them that they have not labored in vain We have, in our business, felt the influence of their championship more than a little! And we hereby publicly covenant with them, (now that they have just retired "to enjoy their ease and dignity" in private life,) should they continue in this more limited sphere, those kind and disinterested exertions in our favor, which so remarkably distinguished them in their public capacity, that uewill never, knowingly, discredit a single one qf their tiumer*

this as it may, gratitude constrains us to stress them, and to say. Gentlemen, for the good you have already done us, may your shadows never grow less! May you never know the want of a

And as to that Public, who have discerned in the words of "Tom" and "JJitt" every element necessary to constitute sound advice, and have had the good fortune to follow it, we tender to them our warm thanks lor past favors, while we respectfully solicit a continuance of them for the future. We likewise feel very grateful to eur friends that they have rendered it unnecessary for us to use the languoge of Belf-laudation.

IfV liave no occasion (o say ours is lite Cheap Store! Our Patrons, with far more grace and much more effect, are saying this for us!,. Throughout the length and breadth of the land are they, with trumpet tongue, proclaiming that

Now, does not every one know that what EVERY ONE says is true And as all our patrons are saying this, we guess its true—'"well, ve. do!" To those who have not yet tried us, we would ssy, "LET EXPERIENCE TEACH." Our friends speak from sufficiently long experience when they say to you—"Go TO THE 'I-OUISVIU.E CLOTHING STORE,' and then you can do. as we have done, you can judge for yourselvesNow, who can form so correct an opinion as those who have frequently tried us To advice, therefore, coming from a quarter so unexceptionable. we desire not to add a syllable of our own! conscious that where their words fail to move, a a

History of the DiscdvCry

big nor D'Alvear went out to California nearly two years ago. in consequence of certain infonna tion which he nad received of the geological char acter 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, also, by his confidence in the powers of a certain magnetic instrument which he had Invented, called the "Goldometer,"by whose aid he expected to be directed at once tp 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 ''udlddmeter," 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 obecure brsnch of the Sacramento river, in a gorge of hills ektremely rocky ahd difficult of access, and seldom visiteti by the native California ans. Disguising his object under the pretence of purely scientific research, he obtained the aid of some fifteen or twenty simpleand faithful Indians, and ateadily 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 whstever, until after the discovery of gold atCapt. Sutter's mill when the mountains were ransacked by gold seekers, snd Signor D'A I vest's "gold placer,''the richest in all California, was beset with 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 purchaaed it confidently expected to make a handsome fortune by simply finding "gold placers" and selling out the right of digging to the gold workers. Manufacture of the Goldometer, 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 be now offers forssle 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, Coal, Iron, Copper, Lead, and other Mineral Riches, the whole being given in a publication called the

Gold Seeker's Guide!

This new work artd the UOLDOMETER, are both now ready for sale. The GOLDOMETER is so simple an instru» ment 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 pointing out mineral riches In the earth for any number of years. By the aid of the guide any person-may use the instrument with perfect success.

Farmers and La Owners. Farmers and land owners throughout the United States, who have reAson to suspect the existence of any kind of mineral riches upon their lands, should avail themselves of this opportunity to test that fact, by the surest of all known tests, before the abundance of discoveries in all parts of the country shall have lessened this Bource of wealth 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 brilliant 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 stamp it as the greatest discovery ol the age. Nothing but the 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 offers 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

SHERMAN, Lieut. 3dArt. U. S. A.
