Finnyiviiouhd round Cape I-Iorzh, for the. newly dlsbcvered gold fields of California.

-: Theaoeount of the voyage is taken from

the late Edward Love, one of the‘party. It has been runningYor some time in The till-lining Quardlanf—

H A (Qqnflnuod from last week.)

Hitherto in this narrative the diary written‘by the‘lste James Love has been mor‘e'oi-Il'ess‘closely followed. This has been’done with a purpose; in 'the first place toglve readers an idea of [the menr composing the Association and me conditions surroundin them, ‘nnd also because the detailsins written in the simple, terse, and wholly descriptive style of Mr. Love, bring more strongly before one theovents of the voyage than could

any words of ours.

Now, however, the Fanny has safely weathered the dreaded Cape Horn. and as the incidents of the voyage for some days thereofterresemhle much that has been already described we will take the liberty ofaummorizing the details given. Our last quotation from the diary was under date of March 25th,l850,snd theship was then laboring with rough weather. Thns’itoontinuod until the 29th, which happened to be Good Fijday. in the early 'part of that day theng‘wcs little or nqjvln‘il but in the ulternoonllthe storm king resumed his sway and straight there was a high sea running. 80 It was more or less for many days. On April is: they put the ship about, being 'vvlthin thirty miles of the land, and they lay lwest close hatred all night. Thenceforth .heml winds were experienced and the

ships progress was slow until the 6th [April, when the wind came round and-

crowdcd on. The favoring wind lasted till Thursday the Ilth. On this day Mr. Love writes “It is a line morning with a light breeze, and the sea as srnoolh as ll. pond. At noon the wind died away to a perfect calm, and we had a line chance to dry our clothes. \Ve saw a shoal of porpoises, thousands of theinmt the same time we are preparing our guns and pistols as we expect to there ‘ (at the Isle of Juan Fernandez) on Sa'urday. if the wind keeps line."

But, alas, the wind changed again in the night. and the Captain gave orders to bear away for Valparaiso. “\Ve are much disappointed,"wrltes the chronicler, “for we had laid out tO‘lllli'B some shoot- ing on the Island and in get some curiosities for our friends at home. but being so long on board of the ship were glad to make for any port, The wind answered us well; the ship appears to be in a hurry as much as us.

At intervals, the melodious, welcome notes of the soniz sparrow-he was late this year to my notice—chimed in, his lovely song claimed the largest share of applause.
