A location was at once fushed upon for a settlement, and some twenty fami- ies commenced the work of erecting a dwelling, each for their temporary aecommodation. On the last day of the year, Dec. 31st, 1620, public worshi: was for the first time attended by the exiles, cn the place was called Plymouth.” “Two and a quar- ter centuries have elapsed since that hour—and the steady march of mprovement has ctammped its traces upon the spot, where rested, then, the van-guard of “the coming millions,” who were destined to suc- ceed them! eae Amongst the relics of those days, long departed, a portion of the rock upon which the Pilgrims land- ed,is seen here. It was taken from “the rock” near the shore, and is embedded, upon the walk, in one of the principal streets, directly in front of “‘Pil- grim’s Hall.” Itis surrounded by a neat iron tence, upon which appears the names of the original puri- tans. The hall is a place always visited by strangers. It is decorated with Col. Sargeant’s magnificent pic- ture of the landing of the Pilgrims, which that gen- tleman presented to the town several years ago. It 1s valued at some $3,000. There is also an antique chair or two, one of which belonged to Gov. Cur- ver—some cooking implements used on board the May Flower—King_ P! me cap—and numerous other articles belonging to the “first settlers”—all in an admirable state of preservation. Upon the out- skirts of the town is laid out a beautiful burial round, called “Oak Grove Cemetery,” a quiet and lovely spot, consecrated as the last home of the de- parted. Its peaceful stillness and romantic location, will well repay the stranger for visiting its grounds. Among the recent improvements in this vicinity, is the “Old Colony Railroad,” which is now nearly completed to Boston, and upon which, it 1s said, the cars will be placed, early this fall, A large depot is in progress of erection, inthe lower part of the town, and an extensive hotel is also being finished, near its centre. It is in contemplation, I learn, by the stockholders of this road, to apply for a charter next season, tor its extensionto Sandwich—and there is every reasonable prospect that it will ultimately reach the town of Barnstable, connecting finally with the steamer to Nantucket, and thus addin; another thread to the immense iron net-work whic! is spreading so rapidly over this country, and espe- cially in New England. There is a most excellent line of mail stages running hence to Sandwich, un- der the direction of Boyden, (a relation of Boyden, late of the Astor,) which will connect with the rail- road, when it is completed, and will be run through twice a day, e Sanpwicn.—The town of Sandwich contains lit- tle which can interest the traveller, save that which is apparent in most of the smaller villages in Massa- chusetts. The “Sandwich Glass Company’s” works located here, are a very extensive establishment however, Srobloving neaHy three hundred persons; and manufacturing three or four hundred Higueand dollars worth of glass ware annually, most of which is pressed or moulded. Some very fine specimens and models of useful and ornamental ware were shown me, This is one of the largest glass compa- nies in the United States—the capital vested being about $250,000. There are one or two excellent academies here. The school of Mr. Wing, a member of the society of “ Friends,” is deservedly popular, and is usually well filled with y, ungsters from wll parts of tne Union. Within afew years this town has increased considerably. A number of pretty residences adorn the village, which is laid out with neatness, and it is proverbial for its orderly and quiet character. The town of Sandwich has established its reputation for pretty women, and, for its size, few places in New England can boast of so great a ratio of beautiful girls as are found within its borders. Some dozen years since this place was much visi- ted by sjoitsmen, (particularly those who found pleasure in piscatory enjoyments,) in search of game or fish—the latter abounding in great profusion in the numerous rivers, brooks and ponds, which are so common hereabouts. A very respectable hotel was established here ten years ago, kept by one Kes- senden, where “ the boys” generally congregated in the season, and where many a sparkling string of trout have been disposed of in times goneby. ut those days are departed—the trout, for the most part have glided to parts unknown—Fessenden has van- ished—the champagne glass no longer jingles on the board—and “ those days come not again!’ Some eighteen miles distant, over as sandy a road as one would wish to find, the traveller will reach the vil- lage of Fatmovuru.~-The town of Falmouth, lies upon the lower extreme of the Cape incorporated in_ 1690, or thereabouts westerly side is Buzzard’s Bay, and Vineyard Sound bounds itupon the South. The land in this region is quite as good, or better, than the general average on Cape Cod, though the soil inevery direction here is very thinand sandy. Within the boundaries of this town, there are a great number of fresh ponds, which, until latterly, were most plentifully stocked with fish. Falmouth is made up of several divisions, as North, Kast, West, &c. Wood's Liole, a very good harbor, lies upon its south-west point, where a fine house is kept by Mr. Webster, which, during the warm months, 1s filled with visiters from varieus parts of this State, New York, and other places. In former years a considerable whaling interest was held here; but ill success, and perhaps a lack of judicious management on the part of those con- cerned, has caused it to run out, and but little is now-a-days heard of Falmouth whalers. There was also, formerly, immense quantities of salt man- ufactured upon the shores here (as was common in all parts of the cape); but the article is now made cheaper in western New York, and is imported in ies, so thatthe competion has finally Te- luced 1 anufacture here toa nominal amount, and it is discontinued altogether in places, where proper, pe, and was Along its the dilapidated works will not pay for repairing.— Large quantities of pine wood are annually shipped here to supply the steamers which the Sound ly on between hode Island and New York. The village of Falmouth is one of the best loca- ted, and per! saps the prettiest upon the Cape. There are some hundred and fifty dwellings within its cir- cle, all of which are of modern construction, and tasty architecture, giving the place that air of pros- perity and healthiness so common in New England villages. A considerable portion of the male inha- bitants are connected with the fisheries, or are en- gaged in maratime pursuits, in the southern trade, packeting, or otherwise, and are a hardy, honest, and hospitable people—courteous to strangers, and affable in their general intercourse, The farms here are immenee tracts of land, comprising, often- times, hundreds of acres, the character ot which, toa uy resident, renders the paradoxical assertion plausible, that “the more a man has of it, the poorer e is.” But every rood of it is turned to advan- tage by the yeomen, in cultivation, grazing, sheep feeding, ete., and the residents labor hard, Sut con- trive to make a good living, keep out of debt, pay their taxes, and ask no favors. The population is rising three thousand persons. Some twenty miles to the south east lies the flourishing town of Barnstantr.—There is a_pretty little steamer, called the * Yacht,” which makes a trip weekly from Boston to this town, in which, during the summer season, thousands of people come hither for the be- nefit of the sea voyage, and the fresh air. The Landing at Barnstable is most abominable. The bar at the entrance of the harbor prevents the passage of vessels of any considerable draught, and the pas- sengers on arriving are “dumped oui "—two or three hundred yards from the shore—into boats alongside, or into vehicles which are driven out from the beach, kong the flats, Sueh a scene of contusion and trouble follows as is seldom met with elsewhere in this region. It should be remedied at once. schooners) employed in fishing, which hail from | this place. The Patriot, a locetoco print, is pub- | lished here, and is edited by one Phinney, who, in | his sphere, “enacts more wonders than ‘a man,” | and who received last year his maximum of $1500, as weigher (or measurer) in the Boston Custom | House, for a tew months’ services in the employ of | Unele Sam, and then retired with his laurels and | his “tin.” He is now busy in abusing the power | which appointed him to office, and which furnished | £0 generous a spoontul of the government | pap. But he sincerely believes himself a politician of the firet water, and perhaps he is. A very hand- some court house is erected here, and there are nu- | merous churches and other buildings of note in the | town, — The village of Hyannis (or Stay-annis, as the There are about one hundred crait (sloops and | | Thos.

All that is generally known abroad in regard to this wisce, 18 tie faet that it is largely engaged in the whaling business. The stranger is agreeably surprised at its general ap- pearance, and not least at the universal good order which prevailsin and about the town. The wharves, the harbor, and the principal streets, present scenes of bustling activity, most business-like in all their features, a circumstance which strikes the casual visitor as highly commendable. It is not over- rating the fact to add, that of the many thriving towns on our New England coast, few appear to bet- ter advantage, in a moral or business point of view, than this flourishing and well ordered place. New Bedford was Srey known by the Indian name of Acuschnutt The heart of the town is as thickly settled as many of our Atlantic cities, and on he main streets are one or two excellent hotels— tParker’s among the rest. Upon the outskirts of the town are erected numerous beautifully decorated summer residences, tastefully built, and ornamented with pretty gardens, court yards, or grounds. From those located upon the higher sites, a magnificent view of the bayand harbor is obtained. ‘The railroad from Boston connects this place with the Literary Emporium, by a two hours ride, and the cars run hence to the city twice a day. _ The office of Collector of this port is worth some two or three thousand dollars per annum. ‘The post 1sat present occupied by Mr. Joseph Adams—a coonish, Tyler, locofoco, (formerly editor of a de- funct Boston paper,) who received the appointmen- two years ago, or less—and whose chief recommen- dation for the place, consisted in the fact of his ha- ving held an umbrella over honest John’s head dul ae a shower which overtook him upon his arrival at Roxbury, (where Adams then resided,) on the 16th of June, 1843. But Adams could’nt afford to do this for nothing, so he “hounded” John until the latter was forced to put him somewhere, to get rid of his importunity at the White House. He will be looked after, anon. ie The harbor of New Bedford is an excellent ene, though difficult of access. The great bulk of the business of the town is connected directly or indi- rectly with the whaling traffic, which is the main feature of the place. There are upwards of two hundred and fifty ships, barques, and brigs, employ- ed in this trade here, giving employment to some five thousand seamen, and the importation of oil and whalebone 1s immense. There are four or five banke, with an aggregate capital of some million and a half, and few places in this region are advanc- ing with more rapid strides than New Bedford. A Mr. Rotch, (now spelt Roach,) a Quaker, was the first whaler here, who originated the business, and having procured from France and England, many years ago, the right to export oil into those coun- tries free of duty—he was enabled to accumulate a handsome fortune, and establish a business which is now of the greatest importance, and of proportion- ate profit. The town was incorporated in 1787, and contains at this time some fifteen or sixteen thou- sand inhabitants. ayy During a fortnight’s visit to the places above named, I have met a most marked courtesy among the inha- bitants, which commends itself to. the attention of the sojourner here. A feeling of kindness and open- handed hospitality prevails with the people, which isa characteristic in this viciaity, ani which is most grateful to the wayfarer. Revolutionary Relics.

According to the report of an expert geologis t Von Gerold, diamonds have been discovered in the Mex- ican mountain range in the Sierra Madre, in the direc tion of Acapulco, to the South-West of the city of Me: ico. Humboldt had conjectured that diamonds and pla tina occurred farther to the North-West, in the gold- washery of Sonoro. It is also said that immense tracts of auriferous alluvia occurred in Upper California, also in New Mexico. They are principally in the pos- session of wild tribes, a circumstance which will accel- erate the intrusion of North Americans, and hasten the taking possession of them by strangers. Orders have been sent to the custom house and the post office in New Orleans city, to send all the fo- reign coins received by them te the branch mint, to be recoined into American pieces—the gold into half and quarter eagles, and the silver into quarter dellars— whei it may be done without loss. The importa- specie here chiefly consists of Mexican dollars, on which, when recoined, there is a slight gain, especial- ly on the coinage of Durango. ‘The mint of Zacatecas uses more alloy, and is not in such good repute. On Spanish hammered dollars, and on German coins of all descriptions , there is a loss, when broken up and work- ed over—much greater than on English sovereigns and French coins. ‘The $30,000 directed by the Secretary of the Treasury, to be converted into dimes and half dimes for the accommodation of our citizens at the Post affice, are now ready, Not less than one thousand buildings will be erected in St. Louis the present season. ere are thirty brick yards in operation, and the number of brick manufactured this summer will, it is said, exceed forty- five millions ; yetthe demand, at this time, is greater than the supply.

No other city im the Union is increasing with equal rapidity. The Peterboro’ Chronicle says that many have suf- fered severely fr m the fires which we some time since noticed as running through some of the surrounding townships. In Verulain the whole Scotch settlement is ocmpletely destroyed. In Ennismore some fields of wheat have beenconsumed, while the townshipof Smith has also suffered. A correspondent of the Topic, writing from Vera Cruz, Mexico, says—We have bad no earthquakes lately; after the one we had in the month of March, which prov ed so disastrous, an attempt was made here to collect, by subscription, a sufficient sum to give the priests, to have earthquakes stopped; but the funds were too low. The Missouri Herald says great distress prevails on the bottom lands bordering on the Osage river. The recent unprecedented rise in that river destroyed the crops, buildings, cattle, &c.,on the low lands, leaving a large number of families entirely destitute. The Bedford Mineral Springs, in Massachusetts, are said to be fully equal in medicinal efficacy to those of Saratoga. They are only sixteen miles from Boston, and are already much frequented. A splendid hotel is now being erected there. William Adams, who killed his half brother some three years ago, in Ohio, was apprehended in Lee coun- ty, lowa, and brought down on the steamer Monona, in custody ‘of a gentleman from where the murder was commited. pf Mr. Green, the reformed’ gambler, who is now lecturing in Cleveland on the subject of gambling, is about forming an anti-gambling society in that place. A man nemed Wells deliberately shot another man named Headen, in Flovida, lately, discharging both bar- rels of his gun, and lodging eighteen balls in his body.— He had seduced the sister of Wells.
