assured by the most respectable letters from the island,
that the Prince's purposes at Malta are not at all political,
and that he is anxious, by all the means in his power, to
conciliate his brother, the King of Naples.

the Russian army, whoever he may be, shall henceforth lose
his rank, if, married to a wife of the Catholic religion, he
bring up his children, or suffer his wife to bring them up, as
Catholics.—French Paper.

ZOOLOGY: ANECDOTES OF ANIMAL INETINCTe—..
In a paper, in the June No. of the" Bibliot'acque Universelle
de Geneve" (go ably edited by M. de la Rive, who read
several papers at the recent meeting of the British Associa-
tion), there are some curious anecdotes, tending to prove
how near, if not quite, to the power of reasoning the ac-
tions of animals approach. Two men, who were about to
walk to Vevey, agreed to meet at an appointed place.
One of them, who arrived first, fancying he was too late,
resolved to push on and overtake his comrade ; but
his dog showed evident symptoms of disliking this
proceeding. He, ran backwards and forwards, lingered
behind, and, at length, totally disappeared, but speedily
returned with the walking-stick of the second .person
in his mouth. Ho bad come late, and sat down to
wait for his friend ; but the sagacity of the animal re-
sorted to this evident means of teaching them their
relative positions, and bringing them together. Another
dog, which they were trying to teach to mount a ladder,
got so tired of his lesson that he ran away ; but next day
he returned alone to the ladder, and applied himself to the
task, just as if his vanity had been piqued into learning the
exercise: A third dog, taught to carry a lantern with
its owner, on winter mornings before daylight, as the latter
carried milk to a neighbouring farmer, happened one day to
be shut up when his master departed. When loosened,
he ran after and overtook him, but perceiving that he
had not the lantern, he returned to the house, and caus-
ing it to be given to him, again hastened to his accus-
tomed light work. Another, belonging to a young
student, whose master, while bathing, hid among
some rushes, was hallooed into the water, as if
an accident had happened ; when, instead of Plung-
ing in, he ran lower down the rapid stream, and took his
station, watching the river, where it was most likely to
bring down the body for rescue. [This is a doubtful proof ;
for if very sagacious, he would have discovered the trick.—
Ed. Lit. Gaz.] We conclude with one fact more, relating
to an animal of which we have been used to consider in-
nocence, rather than wisdom, the characteristic. A pigeon,
familiarised to the kitchen, where it was fed and caressed,
one day witnessed the killing of a pullet, and it immedi-
ately flew away, and never returned to the scene of slaugh-
ter ! The kitchen death of a chicken is not very unlike the
death of a dove ; and the warning was not lost.—Literary
Gazette.
