We recoguised him at once as Mr. —, the private secretary of H. B. M. Envoy Extraor- dinay and Minister Plenipotentiary at Washing- ton. The Secretary was apparently alone, buta few moments alter we caught sight of him in company with another gentleman, also in a grey- ish white hat, a man of a stzongly marked Hiber- mian, or Anglo- Hibernian physiognemy, square head, hair short, compact figure, in briefa very plain but intelligent and good natured looking personage, doue up by his tador with diplomatic nicety, primmess, and quaintness of simpli The set of tus shirt collar was particularly cant ofa nice regard for a respeciable exterior.— It was vertically braced by a plait cravat, and maintained its uprightattitude and altitude daring the day with an air of truly diplomatic seruputosi- ty. This gentleman was the Hon Kichd. Paken- liam, the negotiator of the second great treaty of Washington. He stands thus on the calendar ; TYLER, WEBSTER, BUCHANAN, ASHBURTON, PAKENHAM, OLK. Mr. Pakenham entertained himself chiefly in a review ot the glorious boundaries of the Rio del Norte of York State, as we pas-ed along its eout- nuous panorama of fields, and fleets, and towus | and villages, and points marked on the page of history for ali time to come, and swelling hills and green mountains, and clitls and rocks, aud water- | tails, and all the elements of ‘ne chastely beanti- | ful and beautfuily erase, He yaad over the he'ghits near which And: 2 was captured— glanced at West Poms, Stoay Pont, and t Crow’s Nest, aud looked have for the imancrts provose’s of St. Anthony’s Nose, and then face of the glittering river, as tuough he ex; Washingtoa Ieving’s big surgeon to sprag up twenty leetinto the sunshine. But we found a more intimate acqua niance in the plain and unpretending Dr. Elijah White, of Oregon, « coupte of young men, tua a pair of tir | and intelligent creatures of the sex who were sent down to redeem the world, atier bringing it to the very verge of destruction. With the full concur- tence of Dr. White, we were soon organized into a snug little congress of our own. And the Doc- tor, by request, expatiated upon Oregon, its pro- digious mountains, terrible rivers, beautiful val- | leys, Indians, buffaloes and grizzly bears, and Mr. Whitney’s rai But his eloquence was re- called most ly in his deser:puons of the cas- cade mountains, through which he has pioneered a way for the emigrants to the Willamette and the future commercial Chinese entrepot of Astoria. As nearly as we can recollect, the following is an extract from the rhapsody of this practical man upon the mountains and volcanoes of Oregon: — “The cascade range, Miss, (turning t the blue | eyes of the fair stranger atour side,) the cascade range runs parallel with the Pacitle coast fir a thousand miles, at an average elevation of 10,000 feet above the sea, with frequent peaks rising six or eight thousand feet higher, and shining with eternal snow for at least seven thousand feet from their summits. There is Mount Jetfersen near ; Frazer’s river, and Mount Rainier lower down; then comes Mount St Helen’s,near the pass of the Celumbia, then Mount Hood, and Mount Wash- ington, and the Six Sisters, many of them unex- tinguished volcanoes, jn her all these lofty peaks are visible three hundred miles at Sea, like so many a houses along a line of five hundred miles, with their silver pinuacles glittering in the sky. The whole of them have raised up by the upteavings of the voleanic fires beneath thém, which at intervals still break out with a more terrible sublimity Vesuvius. In 1843, in November of that year, (continued Dr. Whute,) 1 was witness to one of thes explosions of the voleano near Frazer’s river. It was three in the afternoon. A dark heavy column ef smoke boiled up from the white @mmit of the moun- tain, and soon it was enveléped in an impenctra- ble cloud, save from the upstreaming fire, and the rivers of red hot liquid lava that poured down its sides. The sky at 150 miles distant where I stood, was darkened as by an eclipse of the sun, aheavy twilight hung upon the face of day, and a shower of ashes fell around us. The Indians afterwards told me, that the fish in Frazer's river were destroyed to the sea from the stream of lava which flowed down into its waters. Mount St Helen’s is frequently visible under a cloud of smoke—indeed that whole country of Oregon is voleanic—i's boiling springs, its active volcanic peaks, its deep fissures, and dreadfut chasms, its whole structure and formation be- speak it, as a region resting still upon.asea of fire.” Sub-tantially, though we may have somewhat embellish: d the language of the narrator,such was the statement of De. White concerning the Ore- on volcanoes. We have give. it, because it may & relied upon, though to most of your readers, it will be as novel as it was to us. Pending thi statement of the sublime of Oregon, the beautiful of the Hudson was almost forgotten, and the Catskill Mountain House upon its lofty elevation, diminished to our view, in comparison, to a lie country vila upon a gently sloping bill, We were callea {rom thes: reminiscences to | dinner; and had the pleasure of finding, that | Mr. Willard, the polite stewart, and his brother, he clesk, tad provided us with three places | vis-a-vis wiih other three for our company, with one especial quadroon for our accommodation.

In its vicinity there are numerous mines of gold and silver, which are exten- sively worked. The Cathedral church is a building of great splendor and magnificence, having cost nearly two millions of dollars. The Jesuits’ Hospital, an unfinished pile of buildings, is the place where the celebrated patriot Hidalgo, was confined previous to his execution. ‘The Santa Fé prisoners were also confined there for some time.

The amount procured for the first few years ‘was very insignificant, butthe gold was of uncommon purity. The quantity extracted between the years 1832 and 1835, a rounted to between $60,000 and $30,000 per annum. Some seasons since have not yielded more than $40,000. The entire aggregate yield, since its first discovery, has excecd- ed half a million of dollars. It is supposed that it is capable of yielding a great deal more, if work- éd with enterprise. ‘The dast and grains found at this mine are of virgin gold, producing about $19. $0 gross to the ounce Troy. The winter season is preferred for mining operations, as the melted snow furnishes the water necessary for washing. ‘The Mexiean gambucinos who are employed in working these mines live wretcledly, generally supporting themselves on a few realsa day, and sub- sisting on the coarsest food. make short work of Saratoga.
