MR. GORILLIL—The war of wurdelwhioh has so
long been waged about M. du Chalilu's interesting work has ass
at length subsided. The Britlah 31usemn has become pesseraed
of the French traveller's best specimens, and, wrongly or right')
advised, our authorities bare paid for them. The gorilla has put
an end to the old definition of a man as being the only "
biped" among mammals. It would be Walcott now to puerile
any particular functions to mankind 4.4 to mark the especial
dlgerence existing between them and .'titer animals. "Man.'
says Byron. "being reasonable. roit4 get drunk ;" and other
writers have, time after time, attempted to show his Mon.
ersales in one word or phrase. For our own part, we think that
mans characteristics are hest expressed by his being called
"watclewearing animal "—at all event* until it can be sheen
that Mr. Gorillas brain Ic capable of making a watch. NI, an-
time commend ua for our watches to Mr. Benson, the excelh nt
watchmaker, of Ludgate-hill and coruhlil. Send for hi'
