I IS.
. ? THE HINCHMAN CASE. '
Kaw Trial Rcfcsed. In the Nisi Irius
ton Saturday, the motion to grant a hew trial
tb the defendants in the Ilinchman casej and
the opposing motion of plaintiff to muke
parties the defendants who had been acquit
ted, came up before Judge Burnside. The
Judge said he did not want to hi a- any argu
ment, as he had concluded to refuse to grant a
hew trial. The counsel for defendants asktd to
' press one te son alleged fir a new trial ;
i "that was, that undue means had been taken
, to prejudice the jury against the defendants."
This was by means of newspaper comments
and Mr. Gibbons brought into Court a large
Collection of daily and weekly newspapers,
" Containing reports of the case, and comments
upon it after it was over. These papers,
Mr. Gibbons said, had exercised great influ
ence upon the jury, and he asked that they
might be filed as part of the record, and
taken to the Supreme Court. He said it was
', a rule of the English law, that whenever,
during the course of a trial, the newspapers
attempted to influence a case, even though
. the party benefitted by it had no connection
, with the matter, to grant a new trial on that
point alone. Mr. G. read from Graham, on
new trials, a case in which, before the trial,
handbills had been posted up over a city,
containing ex parte statemenis as to the
cause, and had also been distributed in Court
before the trial, and given to the audience
and jurors. The Juclgo said that was hardly
a case in point ; if there were publications
in the papers caculated to effect the case, the
jurymen had nothing to do with them. He
did not know that the "jury in this case had
seen the publications nlluded to; they may
have had an effect, and they may not have
had, he expressed no opinion on the subject.
The doctrine of the English law never was
law in this country. In this State the liber
ty of the press was guarantied, and he vvns
not disposed to meddle with it. He believed
that the force of publicnpinioii somtimes
bore against parties ; whenever it was so, lie
had always leaned strongly ii";ainsl it in fa
vor of the other side, and he believed he hail
done so in the present case. The newspapers
could not be made part of the record they
had nothing to do with it ; and the Supreme
Court, if the case was taken there, would tint
look at them. There was no use of discus
sing the question; he had determined to dis
charge both rules for a new trial, and order
. judgement in favor of the plaintiff. The de
fendants then took a writ of error to the Su
preme Court, entering surety in $20,000.
The sureties are, William Scattergood, Hora
tio C. Wood, Joseph B. M I lack, Joseph El
kinton, Wm. Kinsev, David Son 11, and Mo.rde
cai L. Dawson. Phila. Lctleer,
A daughter of Major General S:uvarl, in
England, only 15 years of ape, was so fond of
ahorse she was accustomed to ride, as often
to go into his stall and feed him with her
own hands. Not long since she was found
dead between the horse's leg. covered with
blood.
The Horsls in the '-'apostolic si allies'' of
Home have been seized for the use of the na

says Punch, are expected to be more than a
match for the Pope's bulls.

DISCOVERED BY
SIGNOR D'ALVEAR'8 GOLDMETF.Rl
THE
GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE I
OR
Secret Art of finding Mines of Gold, Silver,
Iron, Lead j Copper, Coal, and other Mint
ral Riches.
r'ipHE first discovery of Gola In Citifornia was
1 made by DON JOSE D'AI.VEAR, an emi
nent Spanish Geologist, Chemist and Natural
Philosopher, by means of a newly invented Magne
tic instrument, called "
THE GOLDOMETER OR GOLD SEEKER'S
GUIDE 1
Signor D'Alvear has just arrived at New York,
from the Gold regions of California, by way of
Psnama, Chagres, and New Orleans, bringing
with him a very large quantity of Gold ore, valued
at nearly one million of Dollars, which he collec
ted there, long before the existenco of the Gold
mines became known to the residents of California
generally.
HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY 1
Signor D'Alvear went out to California nearly
two years sgo, in consequence of certain informa
tion which he had received of the geological char,
rater of that country, with tho firm belief that vsst
mines of precious metal 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 "Goldomcter," by whose aid
he expected to be directed at once lo the "Gold
Placers," if any such existed. Nor were his ex
pectations disappointed. His scientific calculations
proved to be found in truth and profound wisdom,
and his new instrument, the "Goldomcter," fulfil
led his highest hopes. In less than two months
after reaching California, he struck upon one of
the richest gold mines in that country, upon an
oWurc branch of the Sacrato river, in a gorge of
hills extremely rockey and difficult of access, and
seldom visited by the native Califomians. Dis
guising his object under the pretence of purely
scientific research, ho obtained the aid of some fif
teen or twenty simple and faithful Indians, and
steadily pursued his task, collecting often more
than $2,000 worth of gold in a single dny, which
he concealed in a deep ravine, without exciting any
suspicion whatever, until after the discovery of
gold at Captain Sutter's Mill, when the mountains
were ransacked hy gold seekers, and Signor D'Al
vear'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 Goldomcter, a very imperfect one, for $.1,000.
The person who purchased 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
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 tioldomcter, which he now oilers for sale, in
the United Slates, at the remarkably low prine of
$3 eac!:, sccompanied by full instructions for use,
and a variety of Fiii!c?ouhical hints drawn from
the ancient and modern science, of !hc
ART OF FINDING MINES OF GOLD !
Silver, Platinum, Quicksilver, Coal, Irdn, Cot
pcr, Iead, and other .Mineral Riches, the whole be
ing given in a publication culled the
GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE!
This new work, and the Goldomcter, are both
now ready for sale.
The Goldomcter is so simple an instrument,
Mint a child may learn to operate with it in five
minntcs. It is not affected by climate, moisture,
or any other known cause, (except the natural
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 st ance with perfect success.
FARMERS AND LAND OWNERS.
Farmers and Land Owners throughout the Uni
ted Slates, who have reason to suspect the exis
tence 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 source of
wealth in their estate.
ADVENTURERS TO CALIFORNIA.
Persons going to California cannot make a bet
ter investment than by purchasing one of these
instruments, which will not only lie 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 moat abundant
experiment both in California and the United States
TESTIMONIALS.
Signor D'Alvear does not does not deem it ne
cessary to encumber this notice with a long list of
testimonials, in proof of the value of his GOLD
OMETER and GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE. The
brilliant results of his labors in California, and the
discovery, this very week, of fresh veins of Gold
in Virginia, and beds of Coal iu Rhode Maud, by
it use, are alone snflicient to stamp it as the greatest
diacovery of 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 of which he offers it
Besides this, his own desire for wealth is nearly
satisfaefied.
The following Testimonials, in proof of the
value of the Goldometer, selected from a great
number equally satisfactory, must suffice for the
suffice for the present :

the practical operation of Signor Jose DcAlvear's
newly invented magnetic instrument, the Gold
omotxb. feel entirely satisfied that it posseses the
extraordinary power of dcsecting Mineral ores hid

In consequence of the difficulty of finding faith
ful agents, and of preventing frauds, where articles
of tins nature are sent out for general sale, Signor
De Alvear has determined to sell none of bis works
or instruments unless ordered by letters sent di

and seal, so that all doubt as to its genuineueas
mav be removed.
