Th aubjoined deterintion of the ba and har
borof SanFranciaco iaftom Farnham'i 7Vn
veh in California. Tlie testimony of all navi
tratora who have visited thia magnificent harbor
concur in pronouncing it one of the moat noble
receptacle or ahipaand ahippinj anywhere to
be found on the globe.
The harbnra on the Paeino coast are so lew
towarda the North that San Francisco, even if
ite natural ad vantage were but ordinary, would
become an important point in tho future devn
lopement t the commerce of the Pacific.
With ill very extraordinary advantage ao ad
mirably adapting it to the ueea of a vaat trade;
with its special fauililiea of accesaand defence,
rendering it o happily ea led lrfr a naval depot
such aa might be required by the first maritime
power in tho world, the importance of auch a
harbor ran scarcely be eatimated by any known
standard of Vane applicable to aoch thing.
The ' natural facilities for totrnttunication be
tween San Francisco and the valley of the Mia
aouri are auch that the hand ol art, in perfecting
them, will seem to be cooperating with Natare
rather lha n overcoming ner : '
"The bay of San Francisco ia the glovy of the
western world. Ite mouth liea in latitude 37
degree 58 minutea. The water on the bar is
eight fathoms at low water. The mountain
on either hand rise aeveral hundred feet above
the aea, and form the land-mark in foggy wea
ther to point out the bar, and the channel rate
the harbor. The capca at the ocean edge are
about two miles apart, always verdant and re
frealiing to the eye; and, aa you go up the pas
asge, the little atreama tumbling from the rock
among the greenwood, and Ihewild game out
on the cliffs, or frolicking among the brush, and
the seal basking in the water, give promise of
pleasure and rest from the toils of the sea.
This passage is about five milea in length.
Four and a half milea from the cspea it narrowa
considerably, and preswnta a bold point North
and South. The fort on which this mighty har
bor condescends to depend for protection ia in
ruins. A dozen old rusty guna, in the care of
thirty or forty half-clad, half-breed aoldierr-,u-aually
foraging in squads of five or ten among
the tierghborfng Mission)' one aide ol ita walla
tumbled down, and another atrongly dispored to
plung into the aea, and not the tenth of true
soldier's heart beating for hundred mi'ea a-
round, ia a true summing up of ita present
strength. . , .
Six milea from the capes at the mnuilr and
at the point whero it begins o open into the
Bay, are two small islands on which forts might
be conveniently built, that would command the
narrows, and also the entrance into bo'.b the
north and south p.irt of the bay. Indeed, the
w hole bay ia so atudded with islands easily
fortified, and so overhung by headlands, which
ol themaelvea are fortresses, that a party in pos
session of them could hold tho Say sgainat vast
odJs, and in comparative security, from the
narrowa to the northern point of the bay ia twenty-four
miles, and to the south-eastern point
thirty -6 ve milcti.
The southern halfof the Bay varies from four
teen to fifteen, the northern half from four to
twenty miles in width. )n every part pf thia
large tract of water ia good holding ground, and
on all ita shores are coves in which vessele of
any tonnage may. lie enttg and aecure from
Btofrhe, wiihin a eable'a length from the land.
In the N. V. corner of the Bay is the inlet of
the Rio Sacramento.
The surpassing beauty and magnificence of
thia harbor of t$an Francisco can never be pro
perly eatimated by being viewed from the land.
One murt approach it from the aea: have a
full view of the lofty shores north and smith, ri
sing at intervale intobfty peaks girded st their
basis with primeval forests of evergreen cedars
and pinea mottled with the boughs of the oak,
the ash, and the plsbe. The bar which spring
from the northern headlands ofjts entnnce, and
running beneath the blue watera of the Pacific
from five to bine fathoms, eauaing a belt of turf
to roll across the mouth, moat be passed; A
brvese must bear your bark over end along the
dangerous rocks three-quarters of a mile inside
on tbe right, quarrelling with the surges; and
onward four milea between the projecting olifia.

It may be of soms iutsreet, perhaps, to tbe l
tiaena f this thriving to wfi, to hots ita com
meneement, and trace ita rapid course down to
tha present time, hot because we euppose tbem
ignorant of the history of the plate, but merely
to contrast the paat with the present state of
thing to compare tha soli tods of tbe forest that
6nea reigned over tbe aurrouading coontry, with
the present business like air and busy hum of
life that on all aide meet tha eye. ' . The follow,
ing we have collected from authentic source :
In 1833 the house known as the White Hons
tavern, Was kept by Mr. John Pott, as a watering
place for the atagea on tha Snnbury road. , Two
years afterwards only, five scattered honses wers
fobs found in the vicinity. ' Tbe influx of mi
ners and eapiMiste, may ba attributed to tha
completion of the Schuylkill navigation, m 1825,
by which the old method af carrying coal to mar.
ket in Wagons, was entirely snperseded. and tha
mora expeditious conveyance of canal boats a
dopted. ' ; - ;.-.,;..,'.
Coal Waa knowr. to abound in the county, so
early as 1790,' but being entirely different from
tha bituminous, the kind in common use among
blackamitbs, and being hard of Ignition, it was
deemed of little use, until about the year 1795,
when a blacksmith named Whetstone, brought it
into notice, by esing it in his smiihery. This
induced others to search for coal, and when fou -.d
to use it for fuel ; but the difficulty was so great
that it was for awhile abandoned.
About the year 1800, a Mr. William Morris
procured aome coal and took it to Philadelphia,
but was unable to bring it into use. From that
period until the year 1806, no other attempts
were made to nse it. Shortly afterwards, in cut.
ting tba tail race for the Valley Forge, en the
Schuylkill, a seam of coal was found, which in-
duced a man by tbe name of David Berlin, in the
neighborhood, to make a trial of it : he succeed
ed, and from that period it began to be more and
more used, and is now almost entirely the only
article need aa a fuel. The Una) aureets in in
troducing it into general use, formed an impor
tant era in the history of Pottaville. The canal
which waa subsequently projected and comple
ted, instead of conveying tbe te.tiber of Schuyl
kill county, a waa originally intended, waa en.
tirely monopolised by the coal trade tha town
of Pottsville was laid out. or rather several
towns, for each prominent adventurer bad his fa
vorite locttron.
We now have in our vicinity, Port Carbon.
Mount Carbon, Patterson, Middteport, New Phi
ladelphia, and Tuscerora, whhrh Were laid out
eVoutlbe year 1828.
MiinasviLi.c is beautifully situated 4 milet
N. W. of Pottsville, in a valley through which
meandera the weatern branch of the Schuylkill.
It vontains (touring mills, steam saw mills, foun
dry, csr manufactories, three rr four neat chur
ches, Ind about 3000 inhabitants.
On tbe western branch of the Schuylkill, about
two milea west of Minersville, is the little Vil
lage of Lawtti.TK, settled chiefly by hardy
Welshmen, aa its name plainly indicates.'
' On tha same bra nth, about three miles above
Minersville, is a little miners' hamlet railed

Tanjqva was laid out in lS.10, by the Schuyl
kill Coal and Navigation Company, on tbe Little
Schuylkill river, 17 miles below its junction
with tbe main stream, and IS milea east or Potts
ville. ' It is a smart, activ place, with som ten
or doxen stores, several taverns, two rhurehek, a
car and coach manufactory, and about too inha
bitants, who are an industrious and enterpriting
people.'
Pear CmxTom, situated at the mouth of the
Little Schuylkill, was also laid out about the
year 1829, and ia a very thriving place.
Pins Genva is eituated on the right bank of the
Swatara, in tbe valley between the Kittatinny
and Second Mountains, about 14 milet west of
Pottsville, is a very enterprising and prosperous
place. A brsncb of the Union Canal has been
extended here, and a Railroad up th, Swatara,
four or five miles, to tbe coal mines on Lorberry
track, , The Coal trade oi Pinegrove it very con

The castle, It is well known, hss great

observation that Dr. Lsycoclt had become fully
aware of the great chaogss induced in tho ays
tern by tha aboss of tobacco, and of the varied
ind obscure fbrravof disease to which especial
ly excessive smoking gave origin. He procee
ded to state some of them ss they were met
with in the pheryngicel ma cone membrane, tho
stomach, tho lungs, the heart, the brain, and '
the norvoos system. The tobacco consumed
by habitual smokers varied from half an ounce
to twelve ooncaa pet week, tho ustial quantity
from Wo to three ounces. . . Inveterate cigar
smokers will consume fVooi four to Bvsdoson

Hon of the cartilageaof the larynx came under
the doctor's notice. The pnient was auch a ala va
to the habit, that he hardly ever had tho pipo
out of his mouth. Similar sufferings have been
caused by similar practices in other instances.
