LITERATURE. scattered about, and amongst them stamps with the roots that had been left standing; seine of them were more than sixty tbet long, and of corresponding girth, and looking as if they h a d been cut into regular blocks, whilst broken branches and chips lay heap e d u p near . O n a cl o ser ex amination we found they were fossil trees that had been gradually washed bare by the torrents and had broken off by their own weight, and that, singularly enough, in logs of from one to three feet in length. We measured some of the largest trunks, and found one of five feet in diameter. Many of them were hollow—many looked as if half burnt, and they were mostly of a dark colour, but not so much as to prevent the bark, the burnt places, the rings, and the cracks In the wood from being clearly discernible. In some of the blocks appe are d t h e most b eautiful blending of agate and jasper colours ; and, in others, which had yielded to the influence of the weather and fallen to pieces, there were bits so brilliantly tinted that if polished and set they would have made elegant ornaments; others, again, had not yet loSt the original colour of their wood, and looked so like decaying beaMts of deal that one felt tempted to convince oneself, by the touch, of their petrifaction. If you pushed these they fell into pieces that had the appearance of rotten planks. We collected small specimens of all these various kinds of fossil trees, and regretted that as our means of transport were so small we had to content ourselves with fragments, which certainly showed the variety of their petrifaction, but not the dimensions of the blocks." Another natural curiosity is th e C ereus g i ganteus, known in California and New Mexico as the Peta haya, which M. Mollhausen aptly styles the queen of the cactus tribe. Those who have only seen the cactus in our hothouses would perhaps scarcely credit that the Petahaya grows to a height of from thirty to forty feet, and that they are said in some loealties even to reach sixty. They are altogether eolipsed by the giant trees of California, of which Wilily one specimen was 300 feet high, measured 96 feet in circumfeaence, 32 in diameter, and whose rings indicate that it has attained the age of 3,000 years. This tree, not inaptly designated the Big Tree, was some time since cut down. It took five men twenty-five days to fell it, and the stump which was left has been smoothed at the top, and now it is said that sixteen pairs of waltzers can dance on it without interfering with each other. Another group of trees are called the Three Sisters, as they all appear to issue from the same root, and the middle one only begins to get its branches at the height of 200 feet; its circumference is 92, and its height 300 feet. Many such interesting details are given, and the traveller's account of the animal kingdom is no less attractive. His accounts of the community ' of prairie dogs and beavers might well appear in credable to those who have never watched the wonderful sagacity of some of the lower racss. The author, though a keen sportsman, evidently takes a kindly interest in all living creatures, and his knowledge of their habits and instincts is ex tensive. His accounts of the various rivers, the shallow Rio Grande, which varies from 400 to 800 feetin width, whilst the depth is on an average scarcely 2 or 3, to the great Colorado of the West, which the party reached after a journey of 1,522 miles from Fort Smith. It is curious A Memoir of Thomas Mans ) P.A,, sate Keeper of tlw Royal Galleries, anti the National Gallery, Librarian ofthe Royal Academy. By Mrs. Uwins, 2 vols. Longman. . These volumes forni an interesting stihject for perusal. They afford a clear insight into the diffi culties that attend the after of artists, and at the same time they present in an attractive manner the bright inducements to progress in the glories of the noble art to which they devote their lives, This work is compiled from various sources, tv great por tion consists of letters which Thomas Uwins wrote to his brothers during seven years spent in Italy, and there is also published some correspondence with the late Sir Thomas Lawrence, Sir Charles Eastlake, A. E. Chalon, ILA, These latter epistles are of great value, and Will doubtless be attentively regarded by those who wish to become acquainted with the opmivas of eminent indivirlilala, expressed without reserve, and containing. that freedom of thought Which tail only eXist where the writer is treating of a taknillar subject to a kindred intern , Kemp ) or A tlongenial spirit. The letters Which Mr. I.Pains wrote to his brothers are replete with information that is ooliVeyea iii on agreeable etyle; his impressions of the Manners Mid Modes of foreign life are forcibly tipttssett, the first of his travels was undertaken to the purpose of sketching a tine , - yard, !lei/Ives a glowing account of the "viticcovered hillsandgayvalleysofFrance," As may be imagined it was in It a l y that the artist alvakened to the influence of the greatest pleliglit and Was excited by the .most arclent aspirati ons . " A thi ng o f beauty is a, joy tot ever, " seems exemplified by the effect prikluettl on the minds of sucoeqsiVe genera tiolU as they behold the treasere§ With which Art has made glorious the Oates Of the South, Thomas twins was fully sensible of the obstacles that lay in his path hi Constquetite ut the drawbacks of his early years: fle MIAs mentions the subject in a letter to Sir Theft s Lawrence : Allow me to thank you for much kindness and valuable criticism. Your words contain a principle, which may be come, as Lord %Oath has parcel of my own mmd ;' but clearness of Wont and lightness of hand depend too much on early habit iong.practice for me to expect the attainment. Al man who begins his earesr in the art as an engraver; ronowa it out as a water:tot:air painter, and only takes t o oil when he h*Ceflia too blind to continue this haserable 'odnas 4l 6 4 ihilst never hope entirely to emancipate blniseit &1 , 1 the trammels with which such a course will iftVitably surround him. I do not hope for it; and my MTV reason for staying so long in Italy is, that a new class of suh;;;ets may give me th a t a d vantage in the mar k et ‘:7lLich - the feebleness of my powers as a painter would otherwise deny me." It is always desirable to g a i n some i n f orma ti on o f the inner life and secret musings of those who, during their sojourn in this passing scene, have been in any way conspicuous in their attainments among their fellowmen. In the work before us there is no exaggerated statement, and no attempt at display; but facts are simply stated, and opinions brought forward, the authenticity of which cannot be doubted. At the close of his memoir it is thus observed—" Of his long life, seveny-five years and six months, the 23d Psalm contains the epitome. It never rose to triumphant success or world-wide reputation; but he who works and feels he works, he who prays and knows . he prays, has got the secret of transforming life---fail ure into life— victory," This memoir, with the extensive and interesting range of its subjects, will be a valuable addition to the library of the litterateur and the artist. that it was not till the year 1700 that the Spaniards were convinced that California was connected with the continent of America, and that only the river Colorado flowed between. They were indebted for the proof of this to Father Kino, who received public thanks for his information. A journey through the wilds of Central America would, of course, be incomplete without the sight of a prairie fire. Our author was fortunate enough to see one, without running any risk. This magnificent sight is generally full of danger, and M. Mollhausen describes it as a most impressive spectacle The red natives of the steppe, who are ready to meet with haughty defiance enemies the most superior in strength, tremble at the thought of the swiftly advancing fire, and the proudest warrior among them will droop his deco rated head when you speak of it, and whisper, Do not awaken the anger of the Great Sprit. He is in possession of a terrible medicine." The sketches of the more civilised towns through which they passed, and the descriptions of Panama and California are full of life and spirit. The expedi tion completed their survey, after having journeyed over 1,892 miles, which would have been 1,360 in a straight line. They had the gratification, besides the credit due to their careful survey, of having their route selected for the proposed railway line. The official report of Mr. Jefferson Davies, of the United States Government, is given, and contains a useful summary, for practical purposes, of the re sults of the exploration survey.

In the year 1853 the Government of the United States despatched three expeditions, along different latitudes, through the wild and desolate regions that surround the Rocky Mountains, to discover the best route for a railway to California The author of the work before us, a young German of great energy and ability, was appointed topogra phical draughtsman and naturalist to one of these expeditions. He was strongly recommended by the illustrious Alexander von Humboldt, who was much interested in his career, both from a desire to encourage talent, and from the sympathy he felt for the congenial tastes of the young traveller. He has also shown his friendship by giving the present volumes the sanction of his name and approval ; and in a brief, but interesting, preface has expressed his entire satisfaction with their contents. He observes, with truth, that " when a traveller's descriptions are the result of accurate and con• scientious observation, and especially when they concern the condition of natives standing at various grades of uncivilised life, they must always interest the student of humanity." The wild tribes of the American Indians havie always occupied a some what elevated position in our general estimation of savages. There is something poetical in our asso ciations with these red men of the West, gradually yielding to the inevitable ascendancy of the whites, and passing away from their hunting grounds with the traditions of the past. It is somewhat curious to find these Indians, who are usually pictured only with the war-dance and the tomahawk, tending the ground and devoting themselves to agriculture. This, however, is not of frequent occurrence; it is not often, owing to the cupidity and cruelty of the whites, that they have the opportunity. Not the least interesting portion of M. Mollhausen's work is his description of the habits and character of the different tribes of the natives. The trapper's stories, the narrative of the hunter who was abandoned in the - wilds; and many other anecdotes and incidents, serve to illustrate their character better than any verbal ac count. M. Mollhausen's know:ledge as a naturalist and his observation of the habits and peculiarities of the animal kingdom also add largely to the in formation to be derived from his work, and he has had the advantage of the studies of others of the party in his geological and botanical accounts. The part of the country which they examined has so seldom been traversed by whites, being so wild and desolate in some parts, besides being the resort of Indians, that his narrative has all the freshness and novelty of the description of a new country, com bined with instruction for the scientific, and adven tures for the lovers of the startling and dangerous. Many hardships and privations had to be under gone by the little party, the worst of which was the want of water, from which the poor cattle suf fered severely. Many of the mules were so ex hausted by the fatigue and bad food, that they had to be killed, as they could no longer continue the toilsome march. These animals are peculiarly fitted by nature for the journey through these regions. Their strength and power of enduring fatigue, the writer tells us, far exceed those of the horse. "In situations where the latter, though relieved of all his burden, can scarcely drag along his exhausted limbs, and must perhaps be left behind as a prey for the wolves, the mule goes on patiently, bearing his burden, and fighting against hunger by crop ping the withered plants of the marshes, or even prickly brambles. But as the strength of the horse and the perseverance of the ass are in some mea sure united in the mule, so does he also unite in his own person all the faults that can make horse or ass intolerable—timidity, obstinacy, perseverance, cunning, are the qua l i ti es w i t h which one has to contend in them, especially in the process of break ing." The travellers had a proof of the timidity of their herd by an accident that detained them two or three days. A flock of wolves coming very near the mules one night, the animals, panic stricken, broke loose, and were only recovered after a long search and loss of time. Fortunately, notwith standing all their difficulties and dangers, the party completed their expedition safely and satisfactorily —having only lost one poor Mexican, who was murdered by the Pah-Utah Indians, one of the lowest and most degraded of the tribes. Some of the other tribes behaved very differently, even offering the party guides for a portion of their route. Another of the expeditions was not so for tunate. Captain Gunnison, the commander, and six of his officers, having left the main body to ex plore the neighbourhood, were murdered by the Utah Indians. The little party of which our author was one, did not happily meet with any such frightful disaster, though on one occasion no less than nine of their party were attacked by smallpox, that frightful scourge of the Indian ter ritories, which is said to have been introduced by a negro attendant of Cortes. They all recovered, an d M. Mollhausen attributes their safe passage through a district inhabited by hostile tribes to the presence of this deadly foe of the natives in their camp. The old Indian inscriptions found on some of the rocks arc curious, but they are eclipsed by the interest awakened in the mind of the European by such words as the following cut in the rocks by the Fish Spring, near Pueblo de Zuni---" Bartolome Narrso, governor and captain general of the pro vince of New Mexico, came past this place on his return from Pueblo de Zuni, on the 29th of July of the year 1620, &c." " There passed this place with deipatches (some words effaced) on the 16th day of April, 1606." tigable M. Mollhausen is once again on his travels in the Far West, exploring and surveying the River Colorado, with a new expedition from the United States. His volumes offer attractions to the geologist, the botanist, the ethnologist, and the mere reader of travels. They reflect the highest credit on his ability, energy, and humanity, and add another to the list of those records of European adventurers who have penetrated into the wildest regions and mixed with the most uncultivated tribes, who have visited the Esquimaux amid his snows, and the wild Kirghis of the Tartar steppes ; who have penetrated the deserts of Southern Africa, and are now fearlessly treading the paths of the red men amid the Rocky Mountains. Let us hope that so much courage and enterprise may meetthe reward of success, andthat M. Mollhausen may return in safety from his present expedition, to add still further to our store of knowledge by his:pictures of pen and pencil, drawn in the soli tudes of the Far West. There are • many such inscriptions on this smooth rock, mostly in the Spanish tongue, speaking to the travellers of the present of those brave but cruel adventurers of the past, who gave Europe a new world, but have left the trace of inhumanity and treachery to be the bane of Spanish America to this day. One of the greatest natural curiosities met with by the party was the Petrified Forest, near by the Rio Secco which M. Mollhausen thus de scribes : " As we proceeded further we really thought we saw before us masses of wood that had been floated hither, or even a tract of woodland where the timber had been felled for the purposes of cultivation, Trees of all sizes lay irregularly THIS DAI'S SHIPPING.

The following particulars are supplied by the Freenian's Journal :—" The anxiety which for some time past has prevailed so generally in this country relative to the safety of the Indian Empire, whose arrival at Galway was so long overdue, is now happily allayed, the gallant vessel having anchored. in Broadhaven at 9 a.m. on Friday morning, after having experienced one of the most terrific and continuous storms that has ever been witnessed in the Atlantic. The gratification which all persons muet feel at learning the safety of a ship respecting which some apprehensions had been entertained will be enhanced in the minds of Irishmen by the fact that the steamer whose safe arrival we now chronicle is one belonging to the newly established Transatlantic line, whose prosperity is a subject of such lively interest to the people of this country. The arduous and danger ous passage which the Indian Empire has success fully accomplished under the most adverse circum stances lasted in all 25 days from Halifax to Ireland. We have been enabled to glean the following particulars of this interesting voyage, which will satisfactorily account for the delay, and which may be relied on as strictly accurate. Having taken in a fresh supply of coal, and repaired. some trifling damage which had been sustained by a collision with a brig on leaving New York har bour, the Indian Empire having then 16 days' supply of coal, left Halifax on the afternoon o Saturday, the 31st of October, and had a tolerably favourable run to Cape Race, a distance of about 500 miles. The wind was not directly favourable, being on her quarter, and the average speed of the ship during this time was 11 knots an hour. Upon rounding Cape Race the wind shifted dead. ahead, and gradually rising blew with great violence, which in a few days increased to a most fearful hurricane. The ship gallantly struggled against the violence of the wind and waves, the captain displaying all the resources of skilful and. experienced seamanship, and being ably seconded by his officers and crew, who had the most implicit reliance in his ability and judgment. Of course, progress was scarcely possible under the circumstances, and after 13 days of such weather as has rarely been experienced in the Atlantic, even at this season of the year, the captain found himself still four days voyage from Galway. Upon calculat ing the amount of coal which remained on board, and. finding that it was barely sufficient for a four - days' run, he thought it expedient to lie-to rather than incur the risk of expending all his fuel in an un availing struggle against the elements. At this time there was a fair prospect of more favourable weather; the barometer was rising, indications of a change were apparent, and moreover it is an unprecedented thing for a south-easterly wind. to last three weeks in the Atlantic, espesially at this season of the year, when westerly winds more generally prevail. However, the expectation of fine weather was not fulfilled ; the wind still continued high, and the Indian Empire lay to seven days, during which time she made a little headway. At the end of seven days there was a lull, and the captain gave orders to steam ahead, in the hope of completing the passage without further difficulty. In a short time, however, the wind again sprung up and increased almost to its former violence. At one time on Wednesday last, the Indian Empire reached within 25 miles of the Galway coast, running at the rate of 21,- knots an hour against a heavy sea, when the gale increasing in violence, drove her a distance of 100 miles away to the westward. The prudence and foresight of Capt. Courtenay in hav ing laid to for seven days was then made manifest, for at this time the coals had been completely ex hausted, and it became necessary to consume a small portion of the cargo, consisting of cotton, stores, &c., and also some spare spars and part of the planking of the decks. At half-past lon the morning of Friday, the lights of Broadhaven were sighted, and we need not say that every one on board experienced the keenest delight at the approaching termination of their long and difficult voyage. Broadhaven, as our readers know, is an excellent harbour on the coast of Mayo, about 40 miles from Westport ; and eight hours after its lights were sighted the Indian Empire dropped her anchor in the harbour amid the hearty cheers of the passengers and crew. It is gratifying to be able to state that at no time—even during the greatest vio lence of the gale—did the passengers manifest the slightest alarm or apprehension. Their confidence in the captain, officers, and crew never for a moment failed, and they took frequent occasion give expression to this feel ing. T t h h e e I yk r n Yg. e a wthtt everything which skill and judgment could do would he effected to bring th e vessel in ; and their confidence was increased by the good qualites displayed i by the ship, w hi c h excited the admiration alike of the experi enced and the inexperienced. The manner in which the Indian Empire stood 'the severe test to which she was subjected proves her to be an excel lent sea boat, wel l adapted for Atl an ti c nav i gat i on. No more convincing proof of this could be aff or ded than the fact that she shipp e d one sea only dur ing the whole passage, Captain Courtenay, who has had large experience as an Atlantic navigator, states that the weather was unprecedented in its combina tion of violence and duration.
