The name of the place wheneo this letter to dated wi'l doubtlees be new to most of your readers; yet the loyal city of Santa Maria de Valladolid de C> mayagua was a flourishing town before Hudson had discovered your magnificent bay, and before New Amsterdam had a name. It was founded in 1510, by one of the generals of Cortez, who had been des. patched to find a’place in the heart of the coantry for facilitating intercourse between the Gulf of Hon- daras and the Pacific, It is situated upon the east em edge of the great plain of the same name, of which it commands a complete view--a view uusur- passed for ite extent and beanty. This great plain has its Jongest axis from north to south, and in that direction occupies quite one-third of the breadth of the continent at this point. A few miles to the northward of it i# another bot smaller plain—that of Espino. It is in the plain of Comayagua that one of the principal branches of the great navigable river Ulna, the Hamuya, has its origin. Thie stream, flowing due north, interlocks, about twenty miles to the southward of this city, with the Goascoran, flowing due south into the magnificent Gulf of Fonseca, on the Pacific. Their respective sources are in the same level revannahs, and not a hundrad feet apart. It is an extraordinary fact that the river Umma, and after it the Haumuya and CGoascoran, thronghont their wliole course, do not vary five mikes from a line, and coinciding with the meridian. Aud it i an equally extraordinary and most interesting | fact, that here the great range of the Cordilleras is wholly interrupted, and that a great transverse val- ley extends from one sea to the other. The geography of the coasts of Central Amer’ has been very accurately ascertained by the En in their nomerous semi pantica! visite to this quarter of the world, and their estimate of their value is pretty wel] shown by their attempts to get possesion of them. But the geography of the interior is absolutely un- known to the world. As Jaid down in the maps, it is quite as applicable to New Holland as to Central America. The absardest extremity of error has been reached in the attempts to represent the natural | features of Honduras. For example, the river Goas- coran, the principal river flowing into the Gulf of { Fonseca, except the Choluteca, ie not so much es Jaid down on any map.

There are, also, other difficulties, resulting from the attempt ta fam o union of the e cential Btates—Hondaras, Ban Salvador, and Nicaragua. The initiative to such a unim was taken by our representative in the country in 1849, in obedienca to mstructions from Wasbington. The result was a pact between these States, signed iu Leon, in No- vember, 1849. This «set was subsequently anaui- mourly adopted by the States, and measures takea for organizing 2 constituent assemdly. Meanwhile, the general administration of affairs was devolved upon a prolempore President and government, styied the National Representation.

AUSTRIAN DEPARTMENT. BOHEMIAN GLASS. Jn the brief description which we gave in a for- mer number, of the beautiful manufacture which constitutes one of the chief attractions of this de- partment, we left several particulars untouched, which are deserving of a special notice. The pro- cesses employed in the manufacture of those bril Nantly tinted and exquisitely cut articles which con- tribute so largely to the ornamentation of every tastefully furnished house, are 20 little understood, even by connoisseurs, that some detail respecting them cannet fail to prove interesting to the general | reader. That the manufasture of glass was known to the earliest mations of antiqnity—a question which formerly excited s0 much controversy~has been clear- ly established by modern discoveries. The Egyptian ornaments and articles of housebold nse which have they must bave been acquainted with the art in all its varieties. Their porcelain, which more nearly re- sembles glass ‘in its quality than the substance which we style porcelain, is remarkable for the brilliancy of its eolors and the delicacy with which they are blended. The interesting remains discovered at Nineveh have alzo placed beyond doubt the fact that the Asyrians were acquainted with the art of manu- facturing and coloring glass. Jt is a question, how. ever, whether colored glasa was not made previous | to colorless glass. Beckmann is of opinion that it | was not; but that its discovery must have very soon followed that of white glass. Protessor Forbes, how- ever, in his lecture before the Society of Arts,in | London, seggests an hypothesis which is not devoid of probability. He thinks that colored glass must have been the firet invented, for this simple reason : That it was difficult to find materials pure enough to make good glase, and therefore it must have been some time before the original makers could find out the causes of discoloration. In searching for them they must have very soon arrived at a knowledge of the properties of the metallic oxides, by the agency of which the coloring processes were effected. To this more advanced acquaintance with the chemical principles involved in the art, may be sacribed the ceteprity which the glase works of Sidon and Alex. andria are said to have attained. But Pliny and Strabo tells us that they produced most beautiful artieles, which were cut, engraved, gilt and stained of the most brilliant colors, in imitation of prosions stones. The Persians and Hindoos must also have been early acquainted with the manufacture of glass; t was one of those discoveries which must have soon forced itsel’ upon the attention of any people who employed furnaces to reduce metallic oxides, for the constitaent elements must often bave been present, and the beat was sufficient to fuse them. Itis true that most of the glass produeed in India was, owing to the extensive diffasion of the oxide of iron in the Indian soi}, of an impare'and almost uniform color; but still, we are told that the natives imi- tated successfully the different varieties of pre- cious stones in request amongst them, and therefore must have possessed some knowledge ofthe properties of the metallic oxides. The nation, however, which attained the highest reputation for skill in this mannfacture was the Phoonicians. Through the medium of the Crusaders, the different processes in use amongst them were transferred to Venice, where they were long kept secret, and supplita the demands of an extensive and lucrative tra@with the rest of Europe. In tbe cabinets of the curions in such matters, are occasionally to be found speci- mens of early Venetian manufacture, which, although they cannot be compared with the Bohemian glass, perfected as the latter bas been by the applications of modern science, yet display very great taste aug | hill. 7 The researches of Berzelius having removed all doubts concerning the acid character of silica, the general composition of ginss presents now no diffi- culty of conception. This substance consists of one or more alte, which are silicates, with bases of pot- ash, soda, lime, oxide of iron, alumina, or oxide of Jead, in any of which compounds we can substitute one of these bases for another, provided that one alkaline base be left. Silica in its turn may be re- eee by the boracic acid, without causing the glass lose its principal characters. Under the title glacs, are therefore comprehended varions substances, fusible at a high temperature, solid at ordinary tem- perature, brilliant, more or less transparent, and al- ways brittle. The following chemical distribution of glasses is that which is now generally adopted :—- 1, Boluble glass; a simple silicate of potash or soda, or of both these alkalies. 2. Bohemian or crown glass; silicate of potash and lime. 3. Common window and {mirror glass, silicate of da ond lime, aud sometimes also of potash. 4. Bottle glass, silicate of soda, time, alamina and yon. ,_5. Ordinary crystal glass, silicate of potash and . Flint glass, silicate of potash and lead, richer in Jead than the preceding. 7. Strass, silicate of potash and lead, still richer in lead. 8. Enamel, silicate and stannate, or antimoniate tach, or soda and lead. he glasees which contain several bases are lia- ble to suffer diflurent changes when they are melted or cooled slowly. The silica is divided among theze bases, forming new compounds in definite propor- | tions, which, by orystalizing, separate from each, | 80 that the general mixture of the ingredients which constitute glass, is destroyed.

We have not thought it necessary to enter into an; details respecting the monlding and outting of glass, a8 processes beiong to the ordinary rou| tine of the manufacturer, and are too generally ux derstood to require explavation. 4 Some notion may be formed of the extent and ini tance which this branch of industry has attaine in Bohemia, from the following return of her ex ports for one year, (1847):— Hollow andtabie gems. .01,047 ewt , valaed at 9,004, 6008 Cut and east evystal glass 1,902,2008; 783, 0008) and mirrors Bade, arti6’l 1165 203 5,090, 00021 The glass and mirrors produced in Bol amount annually to more than double the sam of be! foreign exports, and may be estimated at a maximat, value of ten and a half saillions of florins.
