It is famous as a land where gold is to be found, but as a land of giant trees we will now speak of it. In a spot, high up tbe side of one mountain, about ninety trees form a sort of forest. Many persons have visited the place, that they may behold tho wonders of the vegetable creation.To a group of these trees the name of "the three sisters" has been given. A single tree standing by iUelf is called " the old bachelor.' And another it "the old maid." One is known a* "the hermit," and two others are "the mother and her son." Tbe mother stands three hundred and twenty-five feet high, and her son is rather • big boy, for he at present reaches to three hundred feet. Then tbere are " the twins," " the bride of tbe forest," " the beauty of the grove," besides other®, with fancy names which have been given to these mighty trees by the early settlets of the land. 0 S.

There are several fine buildings here, among which are the Bishop's Palace, on which spot the old Antiquated abbey stood in the early days of Derry; a Gothic church on James St.; the chapel of Ease, a plain and unussuming building, erectcd at the expense of one Bishop Barnard in 1768, the Fastor of which is paid from a fund bequeathed by tho Bishop for that purpose. The Roman Catholic Cathedral stands on the spot stood the " Tearnpull-mor, Temple more, Great Church," and has in it a splendid new Organ and a very fine altarpiece by H*yd«sns, it is built very much alter the style of the Protestant Cathedral, faced with Irish granite and decorated with Scotch free steae, and cost an enormous amount of money, the amount I did not learn. There are also what are called meeting houses (churches) here, four of which are Presbyterian. A large Infirmary or Hospital erected in 1810. A lunatic asylum of imposing appearance. Gwyn's charitable institution, affording a comfortable home for male orphans, and erected from the proceeds of a bequest made by a Mr. Gwyn, linen merchant of the city. The Foyle and Magee colleges are beautiful buildings and well worth a visit, the former was built by public subscription, while the latter was built from the funds appropriated by a Mrs. Magee of Dublin to build a college for the education of Clergymen for the Presbyterian church, There are also several very excellent schools here, foremost among which is the Rational model school a beautiful Gothic building, and lastly a very fine building appropriated to a library, newsroopi, chamber of commerce, 4c.

To the great height of one hundred und forty feet it rises without throwing out from ita trunk a single branch, and then upward it still springs until it reaches to three hundred and sixtythree feet; that is; it overtops St. Paul's Cathedral in London by twenty-three feet, measured from tbe ground. Do you ask bow old is this tree? We then answer, it is calculated that it is between three and four tho«sand years old. So that it was in its early youth whon Isaac was born, and yet a stripling when David kept bis father's flock in Bethlehem; and it had not reached to MS vigor when the gospel was first preached by tbe Apostle*. Even now it seems in. its full health *ad strength. A part of the bark of this tree, a foot and • half thick, was stripped from the trnnk to the height of a hundred feet. Four months were occupied is its removal; every piece was carefully numbered, as it was cut down, and it has been put up in tbe Crystal Palace, exafetly as it originally grew. *V- v The inside of this bark is fitted op as a room, with table and chairs ; and as you look up the inside or the outside, and think that the portion of the tree that yon g«se upon is only one-quarter of the whole height, you may form some idea of what this great tree is, as it still stands in its own native forest Surely, all the werks of God praise Him, and show forth His mighty power.

So celebrated in Irish history coupled with the names of James the second, and William Prince of Orange, it has a population of probably 20,000 inhabitants one-half of which are Roman Catholics, and lies in tbe counties of Meath and Louth, the town was at one time surrounded by a wall, portions of which still remain, as also two of the gateways, fine old ruins. Drougheda is directly opposite Liverpool, distance 135 miles, and has a very good harbor. In the days of tfie English Commonwealth Cromwell led an army in person against this town" and defeated the garrison, 2,000 persons under arms were by his orders put to the sword, including the Governor, Sir Authur Astan. A blot in the life of Cromwell never to be erased. On the north side of the river stands an Obelisk, on the battle field of the Boyne, which took place on the first of Jolj 1690, between the Prince of Orange and bis father-in-law, James the 2nd. when the latter was defeated and obliged to fly as fast as horse could carry him to a seaport down the coast, where on his arrival at a castle he accosted the lady who received him, with madam "you Irishman" run like deer—bo I would suppose from the appearance of your Majesty whom it appear* can run mnch faster. The Obelisk mark* the spot where William commenced the attack, as also where Schomberg the Military Commander of Ireland was killed. We will now bid adieu to Drogheda the scene of so much merciless slaughter and cruelly, and push on through the qnaint and old fashioned place Balbriggan, so celebrated for it* manufacture of stockings, sock* Ac., remarkable for their fineness and durability. One of its factories has been in existence since 1797, and employs 200 hands. On we go at a furious rate through Swords to the Tillage of Malahide where we catch a glimpse, while the Iron horse draws breath, of the fine old castle, the residence of Lord Talbot de Malahide erected principally during the reign of Henry 2d. And also an abbey of very ancient date, hark ! the guard's shrill whistle is heard again, a signal for the train to move on, and in a few minutes ve are in the great metropolis of Ireland, i. e. the Railway station, amid,.guard's and porter's lustly calling out Dublin !

I will now before taking leave of Londonderry avail myself of the opportunity to allude to a circumstance which transpired just as we were en the eve of leaving for Belfast, and which detained us some considerable more time in Derry than we expected. It appears that the Britiih Consul at New York pat some document in the hands of the captain of the steamer just as the ship was leaving her dock, addressed to the Chief of Constabulary at Londonderry, stating that there was a man and his wife among the passengers going to Derry, who he was informed were Fenian Emissaries, having in their possession important documents for delivery in Ireland. Who the man was, was not known to any person on board, but on Monday morning about breakfast time, the "Commercial Hotel' where we stayed was beseiged with gentlemen drossed in dark green cloth, equipped a la militaire, who guarded strictly the Hotel entrances and to every room therein, trunks were ordered to be unlocked and emptied of their contents and innumerable questions asked, which occupied quite a time, till at last a man called Birch was inquired for, and on his being pointed out to the officer in command, he was immediately put under arrest and kept a strict watch over until every thing he had with him and about him, and his wife, had undergone a rigid search, and he had rendered a good and satisfactory account of himself and wife. Nothing was found or elicited justifying their detention, so they were set at large, when the captain of the forco apologized for the inconvenience and delay caused us, remarking, " but such gentlemen are our duties. "My orders arc to obey even if it breaks masters," turning to me and politely taking my arm he led me aside addressing me sametimo, " your name is W , sir, I believe." " Yes," I replied. " From the description given by Mr. M , the agent for the A L , I took you to be the person, you aro one of the American agents for the " Line," Mr. M informs me. I replied, yes, I am, then sir he said, I will not trouble you or your lady to unlock your trunks, and indeed I am of the opinion, now that I have searched this man Birch, that there tre no Fenians among you, and I can only account for the British Consul's information, that this man Birch must have had an enemy who was determined to persecute him on his arrival in this country." He then after very politely wishing us good bye and good speed, ordered his men off the premises, and then took his leave much to the satisfaction of us all, who began to pack up, lock up, and strap down for our journey onwards.

Opposite the Bank, Masonry os the Battle Field.—It is published to the world, upon tho very respectable authority of Prof. Lawson, that in the deadliest of the fight at Buena Vista, near where McKee, Clay, Vaughn and Willis fell, a young Kentuckian of the 3d Infantry was struggling with unyielding and manly courage to protect the honor of his flag and the bright renown of his gallant State, when upon a vigorous and overwhelming attack of the enemy, he found all the brave hearts that supported him borne down by the sabres of the Mexicans, and himself cast to the earth, dangerously wounded, while a hundred bright lances gleamed above him. In this hopeless situation, when all his comrades had tallen, and the chaflfces of tho fight had entirely deserted his cause, he felt justified, by his love of life, to appeal to a sign that is never made to a true Mason without a response. Ihe sign was scarcely made before the bravest Mexican of them all leaped from the saddle, took him to his embrace, and in a glorious effort to save his fallen brother, was himself felled to tho earth by his dastardly and ferocious countrymen,* who were ignorant of that holy tie which thus bound those two kindred spirits together in the dread collision of arms, and winged their gallant souls from the gory field of death to the green fields of Paradise above.— Locked in each other's arms, they both yielded up their lives, and thus gave to the world one more imperishable example of the force of those links that unite the hearts of Masons in prosperity, in adversity, and in death.

PAINTING AND TRIMMING! MBS. M. J. HARRIS Lohdobdebrt.—There are not I was told any authentic records of Londonderry, but for many centuries up to the reign of Queen Elisabeth, its history is almost ecclesiastical, " its name Doire from the old world Dru or Drew, signifying an oak wood, has been preserved. The Island of Derry itself and the entire district surrounding it, having been covered with a dense forest at one time, in the tenth century, it went by the additional name of Calgaic or Calgach, the name of some renowned warrior, signifying the oak wood of the warrior, later it went by the name of Doire-choliom-cille, or Derry-Colurab Kille in honor of a Saint Columb a native of Tyrconnell (Dounegal) still later it went by the name of Termon-doire, or Termonderry, from the Termon or free lands belonging to an abbey erected in the neighborhood.

Main Street, BARBER AND HAIR DRESSER, Belfast has a population of 130,000, "This great and astonishing city" writes Kohl, "with all its houses and inhabitants stands upon the territory of one proprietor, the Marquis of Donegal, to whom the whole town belongs and to whom every citizen pays tribute." I informed myself that this nobleman's income from the town alone amounts to £300,000 per annum, or $1,500,000- The whole of this vast preperty is situated on the river Lagan which flows into Belfast Lough. Belfast has a very fine harbor, and derived its name from the Irish Beal-nafarsad,which signifies the " mouth of the ford," whereon the town is situated, it is celebrated for its manufacture of linen and poplin, which gives employment to about 60,000 persons (male and female ) the first Bible was printed here (i. e. in all Ireland) which was published in 1794, and here the oldest Irish periodical the "Weekly Magazine" was originally published (see Kohl's Ireland) and the following newspapers are published here. "Belfast News Letter" established 1737, and issued now daily.  "Morning News," "Banner of Ulster " and the "Ulster Observer" all tri weekly papers—there are numerous and very fine buildings in Belfast, among which I will name the Museum in college square, in which there is a very fine collection of Irish antiquities. Linen Hall, Donegal Square, erected in 1715 at a cost of £10,000, where all the business appertaining to the linen trade is managed. Ulster Hall, on Bedford street used for public mowings and concerts and will 3,000 persons, in this Hall is a very powerful and excellent organ, and in front of lhe building aro six very massive columns, which gives it a very imposing appearance, then, there are the Music Hall, Model School, the Government School of design and a great number of Churches, chapels Ac.

INSURANCE COMPANIES, The Americas Squirhel.—Of this most beautiful, active and graceful of all the furred denizens of our woods and plains, there are no less than sixty known varieties, and the number will probably be increased when our Pacific possessions are more fully explored. To the sportsman east of the Rocky Mountains, the most interesting Bpecies are the gray, the fox and the pine squirrel, called, on the tide water of Maryland and Virginia, the cat squirrel. The gray squirrel frequently migrates in vast numbers, and is then very destructive to the corn crop. To such an extent did their depredations reach in the colony of Pennsylvania in 1749, as to excite the alarm of the authorities, and a bounty of three pence was offered for squirrel scalps; and the colonial treasury was depleted to the extent of eight thousand pounds, and rendered nearly bankrupt, six hundred and forty thousand scalps having been paid for in a single year. In view of this great fecundity, it is fortunate the squirrel has so many enemies, and probably the least destructive of them all is man. The black snake ascends to his nest, and at one fell swoop will destroy a whole litter the rattlesnake, we are told, will paralyse poor bunny by the glitter of his eye, and draw him on, an unresisting victim into the jaws of death. But the owl is his greatest and most destructive enemy, as towards the elose of day he flits on noiseless wing through the darkening woods, and pounces on his unsuspecting proy. The red-tailed hawk is another of bis foes, but he is an open enemy, and wages war magnanimously. At Miller's Photograph Rooms. CABINET AND LIFE-SIZE PORTRAITS Painted in OilColors.

A great portipn of the present inward city was built by the citizens of London in the reign of James the first, and fortified with extensive and substantial walls for defence, having no less than six gates or main entrances, called respectively Bishop's gate, Ship Quay gate, New gat9, Ferry gate, Castle gate and Old gate. There are two bridges across the Foyle, one a very handsome structure built of iron and the other of wood. I make mention of those more particularly because the latter I was informed was built by an American in 1791 at an outlay of nearly £20,000 or $100,000, there are also here a monument and two Cathedrals, the former erected to the memory of the Rev'd George Walker, tho brave and undaunted defender of the city, when assailed by James the 2d's troops in 1088. The Cathedrals are of Gothic architecture one Protestant and the other Roman Catholic. I had the pleasure of attending divine service in the former ou Sunday, and was very much pleasd with tho services, especially the singing, and the high tones of a very fine organ, which made the old building vibrate.

No discovery ought, perhaps, to astonish us, which is made by its assistance ; yet that said to have been recently made by a German chemist will surprise many persons. This savan, with a glass magnifying "several millions oi diameters, is reported to have found in the human blood every specimen of animal and insects, from the elephant down to the mosquito. Of coarse, being a german, and therefore a metaphysician, he straightway builds a fantastic theory upon this animacular basis. He thinks the character and temperament of the invidual regulates, or is regulated by (he is not quite sure which) the species of &nimal predominant in his blood globules. In the man of ferocity, for instance, tho microscopic tiger and his congeners sh'ould predominate; in the man of gentleness, the lamb, in the brave man, the lion or eagle; in the coward the hare; in the philosopher, the owl; and so on.
