The Old City of Panama. A letter In the Boston Post contains tho following account of what was anciently the city of Panama:

gjst Fry,

PANAMA, April 23,1849.

-t have just returned from an excursion among the ruins of the old city of Panama,(seven miles east of the old city) accompanied by Mr. Bell, an ornitholoof some note in New York Mr. ry, mathematical instrument maker in New York and another New York friend, Mr. Vandervoort. We pitched our tent, arranged our cooking apparatus, and sallied forth in quest of game. The city was founded in 1519, on a plain near the sea shore, about twelve feet above high water mark, and was built mostly of brick and stone, thick walls andstone masonry. But 1 suppose you know something of its early history. I will describe it as it now is. A dense forest now covers the city, so that walls now standing, twenty or thirty feet high, cannot be seen until you approach within fifty or a hundred feet of them. Immense blocks of buildings, half fallen down, and sections of walls, peering up among the trunks ot large trees and underbrush, form quite a graphic picture to the traveler. One immense cathedral is now standing, except one end wall, within which I measured a cotton-wood tree eighteen feet in circumference, and on one of the main arches, thirty feet high, grows a tree some thirty feet higher, entirely supported by the arch. On another section of the wall, about thirty feet high, has grown a tree about fifteen feet in circumference, the seed taking root on top of the wall and sending down roots into the earth, which roots have grown flat (slab-sided) against the wall with such strength as to support the immense tree, which, in turn, supports the wall, which is held as in a wooden vice. Should the wall fall out it would present the curious anomaly of a tree that commenced in its middle and grew both ways,outdoing Pat, who proposed tocommence at the top and build his chimney downwards. As it is, one miglu imagine that Mr. Van Buren took his ideas of straddling the fence from ihis very treo. Old cisterns and wells, piles of stones and rubbish, vines and underbrush, make it difficult to get about among the ruins^ There is but one tower standing that is one hundred feet high by forty feet square, seven feet thickness ol walls, and of the strongest masonry. It is covered with moss, vines and creepers to the top, and on its summit stands several small trees, bearing beautiful flowers. This city, once so wealthy and populous, is now the abode of wild beasts, who have driven man from its vicinity. We saw tigers, alligators, deer, wild boar, monkeys, snakes, iguanoes, and squirrel, cormorants, pelican, pigeons, buzzards, doves, parrots, owls, bats, and brickbats in abundance. Sea-otter tracks we saw in plenty, as they have crawled through deserted arches on the river side. In our rambles among the broken walls of the city, a tiger leaped down a tree to the top of a wall and then to the ground, and ran as if Barnum was at his heels. Is it not strange that such a city, within seven miles of the present one. should so soon have gone to utter ruin, and so completely as to destroy every trace of its streets, or the uses of its buildings, and become the fixed abode of beasts of prey Such is the fuct, and it is still more strange that the natives know so little of its history, or location even. I found great difficulty in obtaining a native guide who could accompany us to the spot. It is raldom visited though during our encnitf^hont and since our return several parties have visited it to see for themselves. We pitched our tent on the bank of a small river, just on the outskirts of the city, near an arch in good preservation, over which passed the paved road to Cruces and Gorgona in the days of the buccaniers, who destroyed the city and put the inhabitants to the sword, if my memory sorves me since I read the history of the buccaniers and of Sir Francis Drake. It was founded in 1519, but when destroyed I do not romember.

Lining Out.

This line was immediately sting by the congregation, and the minister, now quitoexcitod, exclaimed "Forbear! I pray. My eyw are diru Hut the singing proceeded and the couplet was finished by his troubled and beseeching explanation— *'I do not mean to read a Kymat!" Si ran go as it may seem, this was also sung with much energy, and the worthy old gentleman sat down in despair.

An ancicnt but amusing anecdote is thus rovnmped by the Boston Boo: An nged minister was officiating for the first ilmo at a public service of a congregation in Georgin, who had been accustomed to having iho hymns Mined,' as it is termed. The venerable old man could not see distinctly, and designed to dispense with singing. To announce his purpose he arose and said "My eyes are dim, I cannot And immediately the chorister commenced singing to the tune of Old Hundred. Surprise and mortification rendered the minister almost speechless, but 1 topt styl«o Goods during the whole wason. he managed to slammer out: »*K»aaOarsr "1 mcKnt bat an ttpdagy* ta^n i«^h.ng« for Good^ if dd.vared .t tb«

This mournful state of things continued for along time, until I was wasted and worn to a skeleton. I had tried a number of remedies, but all failed to do any good. But there still being a spark of hope left with me iand ray anxious parents, and having heard of the great virtues of yourCOMPOUND SYRUP OF w^LD CHERRY, and of its being recommended by physicians of the first eminence, I concluded to make trial of it, and to my great satisfaction my cough gradually grew better, the hole in my side began to neal, and I am now happy to say, from a poor and almost homeless skeleton, I havo become healthy, and weigh more than.1 ever have. All my neighbors can testify to the above facts.

IU-.'

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 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

Los AJ»GEIOB, CALIFORNIA, August, 1848: This may certify that the undersigned is fully convinced that Signor Jose Do Alvear was the first discoverer of tlie gold deposits of California, and that this discovery was made by the aid of a magnetic instrument called the GOLDOMETER, which I have seen successfully applied to the discovery of 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 of his works or instruments unless ordered by letters sent directly to him, when the desired publication or instrument will be forwarded under bis signature and seal, so that all doubt as to its genuineness may be removed. &TBEWARE OF ALL IMITATIONS of this instrument which may hereafter appear, as the secret of imparling (he Gold Detecting power Is known to no person whatever, except the original inventor.

whose

aid he expected to be directed at once to the "Gold Placers,"" if any such existed. Nor were his ex-pectations-disappointed. His scientific calcnla* lions proved to be founded in truth and profound wisdom, and his new instrument, the "Goldonieter," fulfilled his highest hopes. In less than twd months after reaching California, he struck uporl one of the richestgold mines in that country, upoil an obscure branch of the Sacramento river, in a gorge of hills extremely rocky and difficult of acj cess, and seldom visited by tlie native Califora^* ans. Disguising his otyect under the pretence purely scientific research, he obtained the aid of some fifteenxr twenty slmpleandfaithful Indians, and steadily pursued his task, collecting ofteri more than'$3,000 worth of gold ia a single day* which he concealed in a deep ravine, without ex* citing any.suspicion whatever, until after the dis* covery ofgold atCapt. Suiter's mill, when the

greedy adventurers.

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 in?trurS^2ul th® Goldometer, a very imperfect one for f3,000. The person who purchased it confidently expected to make a handsome fortune by simply finding "gold placers" and selling out tho 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 mturxHiticin* strument, the GOLDOMETER, whil he now oners forsale in the United States, at the remarkbly low price of THREE DOLLARS each, accompanied by full instructions for u»e, and a variety of philosophical hints, drawn frotn the ancient and modern sciences, or C-,

Farmers and Land Owners. Farmers and land pwners throughout tlie United States, who have r^usoh to suspect theexistenco of any kind of mineral riches upon .their lands, should avail themselves of this opportunity to teat that fact, by the surest of all known tests, before the abundance of discoveries in all partsof the country shall have lessened this source of wealth in their estate. ,,

Adventurers to California. Persons going to California cannot make abetter investment than by purchasing one of them 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 notico 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 tho greatest discovery of the age. Nothing but uie 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 lor which he oilers it. Besides this, his own desire for wealth is near ly satisfied.

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