MORALS or MINING.—We see the Pasco miners always
in the midst of riches, and always embarrassed ; they are
kept in a state of continued tantalization. The miner, it is
true, sometimes has immense and rapid gains,• in spite of
rogues and plunderers everywhere about him, at compara-
tively little expense of time or money ; and this occasional
success leads others-to. indulge in a hope of similar good for-
tune, which hurries the majority of speculators in this chan-
nel into pecuniary difficulties ; for, as we have seen, the ne-
cessary outlay is often great without any compensation ; and
when the capital is too limited, though in the main the un-
dertaking be a good one, ruin is near. Shopkeepers and
dealers in platapina are tempted by prospects of commercial
advantage to lend money to the harassed mine-owner to
enable him to forward his works, and to repay the loan in
pina at so much per mare. Such a lender is called " habili-
tador" has a claim to be first paid, which leads to the worst
practical results. The miner, is generally a reckless gambler,
who spends money as fast as it comes to him, not in im-
proving his mines, but indulging his vices ; and in this
manner the interest of the first hailitadors may be succes-
sively postponed to the claims of the most recent, who fre-
quently is disappointed in his turn ; while the difficulties of
the miner are not removed, but merely prolonged ; and he is
involved in everlasting disputes and litigation.—Dr. Smith's
Peru.

CREOLE LAZINESS AT BUENOS ATRES.—It will hardly
be credited that water is an expensive article within fifty
yards of the Plata, but so it is ; nothing can be worse than
the ordinary supply of it. That obtained from the wells is
brackish and bad, and these are no public cisterns or reser-
voirs, although the city is so slightly elevated above the
river, that nothing would be easier than to keep it continu-
ally provided by the most ordinary artificial means. As it is,
those who can afford it go to a great expense in constructing
large tanks under the pavement of their court-yards, into
which the rain water collected from the flat-terraced roofs of
their houses is conducted by pipes ; and in general a suffi-
ciency may thus be secured for the ordinary purposes of the

family ; but the lower orders, who cannot afford to go to such
an expense, depend for a more scanty supply upon the
itinerant water-carriers, who, at a certain time of day, are

to be seen lazily perambulating the streets with huge butts
filled at the river, mounted on the monstrous cart-wheels of
the country, and drawn by a yoke of oxen—a clumsy and
expensive contrivance altogether, which makes even water
dear within a stone's throw of the largest river in the world.
Taken at the very edge it is seldom of the purest, and gene-
rally requires to stand 24 hours before it deposits its muddy
sediment, and becomes sufficiently cleared to be drinkable ;
it is then excellent, and may be kept for any time. I have
drunk it myself on board ship, after it had been two voyages
to England and back, and never tasted better.—Sir Wood-
bine Parish's Buenos Ayres.

CHANGE OF WIND.-But it is not the human constitution
alone that is affected ; the discomforts of the day are generally
increased by the derangement of most of the household pre-
parations. The meat turns putrid, the milk curdles, and
even the bread which is baked, whilst it lasts, is frequently
bad. Every one complains ; and the only answer returned
is—" Senor, es el viento norte." (It is the north wind.)
All these miseries, however, are not without their remedy;
when the sufferings of the natives are at their climax, the
mercury will give the sure indication of a coming pampero,
as the south-wester is called ; on a sudden, a rustling breeze
breaks through the stillness of the stagnant atmosphere, and,
in a few seconds, sweeps away the incumbus, and all else
before it. Originating in the snows of the Andes, the blast
rushes with unbroken violence over the intermediate Pampas,
and, ere it reaches, Buenos Ayres, becomes often an hur-
ricane. A very different state of things then takes place ;
and, from the suddenness of such changes, the most ludi-
crous, though often serious, accidents occur, particularly in
the river ; whither, of an evening especially, a great part of
the population will resort to cool themselves during the hot
weather. There may be seen, hundreds and hundreds of men,
women, and children, sitting together up to their necks in
the water, just like so many frogs in a marsh ; if a pampero
breaks, as it often does, unexpectedly, upon such an assembly,
the scramble and confusion which ensues is better imagined
than told ; fortunate are those who may have taken an at-
tendant to watch their clothes, for, otherwise, long ere they
can get out of the river, every article of dress is flying before
the bale.—Sir W. Parish's Buenos Ayres.

TENACITY OF LIFE IN A VULTURE.—We killed a vulture
this morning at Laodicea. It was shot at about nine o'clock,

and at the time was washing itself in a stream after its hearty
meal upon the dead camel. It was wounded in the head and
neck, and dropped immediately ; but upon taking it up, its
talons closed on the hands of my servant, making him cry
out with pain. He placed it on the ground, and I stood with
my whole weight upon his back, pressing the breastbone
against the rock, when his eye gradually closed, its hold re-
laxed, and to all appearance life became extinct. It was then
packed up in my leather hood, and strapped behind the
saddle. The day was oppressively hot, for we trod upon
our shadows as we rode across the plain. Until this even-
ing (at eleven o'clock) the vulture remained tightly bound
behind the saddle. My servant, on unpacking, threw the
bundle containing it into the tent, while he prepared boiling
water for cleaning and skinning it. Intending to examine
this noble bird more carefully, I untied the package' and
what was my surprise to see it raise its head and fix its keen
eye upon me ! I immediately placed my feet upon its back,
holding by the top of the tent, and leaning all my weight
upon it ; but with a desperate struggle it spread out its wings,
which reached across the tent, and by beating them attempted
to throw me off. My shouts soon brought in Demetrius
who at length killed it by blows upon the head with the but'
end of his gun. My ignorance of the extreme tenacity of
life of this bird must exculpate me from the charge of crueltyf
—Fellow's Asia Minor.

THE SPANISH LlBERALS.—Democratic opinions are no-
where more extreme than among the Spanish liberals ; but in
no country is the philosophy of freedom, civil or religious, less
understood. I remember talking to a liberal in Valentia
about the inquisition, against which he proclaimed with a
truly patriotic energy. That institution was most annoying,
he said, from its interference with the freedom of private life.
I hate oppression in any shape," he continued; " I am a
friend to the human race ; if indeed there be a Jew among us,
burn him, I say, burn him alive ; but interference with honest
men like you and me, on account of our opinions, is beyond
endurance." Such barbarous and grotesque discrepancies
between the most intolerant practice, and a profession of the
most liberal opinions, are, of course, among the higher order
of Spanish liberals, corrected by greater information and
greater knowledge of the world ; bi t the same utter miscon-
ception of the real principles of toleration actuates their con-
duct. The law, in their opinion, should, in theory, be equally
applicable to all parties ; but to act on the principle of ad-
ministering the same measure of justice to the opponent, as
to the friend of the prevailing policy, to the Carlist, as to the
Queenite, would be reprobated as an indication of positive
weakness, or, more probably, resented as a proof of covert
treason. The notion of impartial dealing between man and
man, without reference to the political opinion he may enter-
tain, is, in their eyes, a practical mistake, attributable only
to incapacity or collusion.—Portugal and Gallicia, by Lcrd
Carnarvon.

PROGRESS OF NATIONS IN AMERICA.—In the newer
American states, it is customary to celebrate the day on which
the settlement of the district or town, or whatever it may be,
took place. The fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of
Cincinnati was lately celebrated, this being now a town of
50,000 inhabitants, exporting annually seven or eight millions
of dollars' worth of argricultural produce, and having often
forty of fifty steam-vessels lying at one time at the wharves.
The whole territory was purchased at the beginning for forty-
nine dollars. One old man attended the celebration, who
bad himself made the roof of the first house shingled in the
place. A Mr. Tappan, whose age is about sixty, and who was
lately chosen one of the federal senators for the state of Ohio,
resides in a large town, called Ravenna, where he was the
first man to cut down a tree. This state, in forty years, has
acquired a population of a million. Florida is now about to
apply for admission as a state into the union. For this she
must show a population re. 50,000, which it is expected she
will be able to do next year. Next year, also, two more ter-
ritories, called Jowa and Winconsin, which began to be heard
of in America last year, and are as yet totally unknown in
Britain, are expected to be in a similar condition, and to make
the same application. The United States will then be twenty-
nine in number, instead of thirteen, as in 1775 ; and the stars
on the national banner must be numbered accordingly. An
additional illustration of the mushroom progress of all things
in America is obtained from the fact, that the steamers on
the western waters of the States have increased from 234 to
600 in the short space of five years. The States have now
800 steamers in all, of 155,000 aggregate tonnage, the largest
being a vessel of 160 tons (!) which runs between New York
and Nachez.—Letter in the Athenceum, dated " Boston,
January 16, 1839.
ALLIGATORS.—" Counted thirty-nine alligators, all of
which were lying close together in one extended line. Some
of them were very large. It is really horrible to witness them
devouring that large fish called the bagre, for which they lie
wait in the current and eddies of the river. They bring their
huge jaws together upon their prey with a great noise and
splashing, and then raise their heads out of the water in order
to devour them, which occupies more time than would be
expected in such a monster. Should they happen to seize upon
the fish crosswise, they have great trouble in placing it in a
straight position that they may swallow it, the blood running
all the time over their hideous jaws. They sleep a great deal
in the sun, with their mouths wide extended. Our boat
would frequently get within an oar's'length of one without
waking it up ; and, at this short distance, once or twice I
poured a whole charge of duckshot directly into his throat ;
but whether he survived or not I could not determine, as it
invariably got to the water again. When we were about half
a le4iie from Los dos Canos we stopped for the night ; the
bogas stretched their straw mats on a beautiful playa (sand-
bar) of white sand. These mats, with their toldas over their
heads, are the only beds they have. Moving around a large
fire in the night, cooking their supper, with the white toldas
raised around, they form an excellent tableau for a painter.
These fires are also essential for warding off the attacks of
the tigers and other wild beasts, whose tracks are to be dis-
tinctly traced on every playa in the river. All night long the
splashing of the caymans is to be heard as they pounce upon
the unlucky fish ; and it was with the greatest difficulty that
I could pacify the women, and convince them of the impos-
sibility of these animals reaching their heads above the gun-
wale and lugging them off."—Stuart's Bogota.
WALKING.—In the act of walking, the centre of gravity
is raised alternately, over the legs. The motion somewhat
rese►nbling that of a pair of open compasses, made to rest
alternately on their points : the centre of gravity is over the
fork of the legs, and may be imagined to be over the angle
of the compasses. If, as the compasses are thus made to
travel forwards, resting on their alternate points, these
points are not placed in the same straight line, but alter-
nately to the right and left of it, then the centre of gravity
will describe a series of arcs to the right and left, and it will
not be carried so far forwards, by a certain number of steps,
as though these were made in the same right line ; this
corresponds to that ungainly motion in walking which is
called waddling. It is remarkable, how near the footsteps of
a person who walks well, are in the same straight line,
as may be seen esyecially if we trace them in the snow ;
this is, moreover, remarkably the case with birds, whose
centres of gravity being for the most part very high, in
comparisons with the dimensions of their feet, they are
taught instinctively to avoid those deflexions of their bodies,
to the right and left, by which they might be overthrown.
Taking the width of a man's foot at about three inches,
and giving him an average stature, it may he calculated
that a deflexion of his body of less than two degrees would
when he rests on either foot, be sufficient to overthrow him.
How justly regulated, then, must be the effort which he
makes at every step, to transfer his centre of gravity from
above one of his feet to above the other, that his position
may be kept within this narrow limit! Put upon his
shoulders a burden, and you will raise his centre of gravity,
and greatly increase the difficulty he will experience in
balancing himself ; yet how firmly and securely does• he
tread ! A man carrying a burden as heavy as himself, and
inclining his position as he steps on each foot. only half a
degree to the right or left of the position in which he would
rest on the foot,- would be overthrown. At each step the
centre of gravity is raised, and made to revolve over the
foot. It is this raising of the centre of gravity, in which the
whole weight of the body may be supposed to be collected,
which constitutes the great effect of walking. It has been
calculated that every step the centre of gravity is raised a
perpendicular height equal to 1 11th the length of the step;
so that a person who walks eleven miles, raises his centre of
gravity, and therefore the whole weight of his body, a suc-
cession of lifts, equivalent to the direct raising of it, one
mile. 1 saw six men, weighing each 1821b5., and a boy half that
weight, walk at. the rate of elevetraniles in three hours, the
aggregate of their labour, while thus walking, will be about.
equal to' One power, as the amount -of '.a horse's
power is usually estimated.”—Mosel,y's Illustration of
,fie.

MILITARY Box MOT. When I was a cadet, my friend
Cipriani commanded the Huntingdon Militia, at Woolwich.
I observed to him the singular circumstance that all the other
officers of the regiment were Captains White, Green, Brown;
Lieutenants White and Gray ; and I believe an Ensign
Black ; he replied—" Yes. my dear boy, we are a small
body ; but, I. hope, in garrison or in the field, we shall never
be so unfortunate as to lose our colours."—Benson Hill's
Home Service.

RESULT OF THE BALLOT.—OId John Randolph, the
American orator, was asked one day, at a dinner party in
London, whether the ballot prevailed in his state of Virginia,
" I scarcely believe," he said, " we have such a fool in all
Virginia as to mention even the vote by ballot, and I do not
hesitate to say that the adoption of the ballot would make
any nation a nation of scoundrels, if it did not find them so."
John Randolph was right ; he felt that it was not necessary
that a people should be false in order to be free ; universal
hypocrisy would be the consequence of the ballot : we should
soon say on deliberation, what David only asserted in his
haste, that all men were liars.—Reza. Sydney Smith on the
Ballot.

SHADES FOR THE EYES.—Although it is improper to ex-
clude the light and air from the eye to so great an extent as
is often done, care must be taken, not to fall into the oppo-
site error of leaving the eyes exposed to the full glare of the
sun, or the action of the wind. Bonnets with small fronts
and narrow-brimmed hats are therefore unfit for those whose
sight is weak, and indeed for any one. I have myself re-
marked the effect produced on my e}es by wearing a hat with
a narrower brim than usual. Children especially should
have a broad front to their caps, and yet it is now the fashion
for them to wear caps turned up in front.—Curtis on the
Preservation of Sight.
DOMESTICATION OF THE OWL.—We do not see why the
owl, if domesticated, might not be a valuable assistant to the
husbandman. If there were one or two belonging to every
rick-yard and barn, they would well repay a little trouble,
and would be at work while others sleep. The habit of
taming birds or other animals is of no little use in forming
kind and patient dispositions in the young. Those who have
seen the storks in Holland building on the cottage roofs, and
stalking about the road-side and dykes, will not think this a
hopeless attempt. It is by continual and often wanton per-
secution that all the lower animals are driven from us; and
their dread might soon be overcome by kind treatment.
Those who reside in the country might thus derive a con-
stant source of innocent amusement.—R. A. Slaney's Bri-
tish Birds.

ADVICE TO LITERARY MEN.-It is highly conducive to
the comfort and durability of the eye to vary frequently the
posture in which any employment is carried on ; this being
a very effectual way of preventinc, too great a flow of blood
to the head : for example, the student and man of letters
oueht to be furnished with a high desk, at which they should
stand to read or write alternately with sitting. This, simple
as it seems, if tried would, I am confident, so strongly com-
mend itself by its beneficial influence, not only on the sight,
but on the general health, that they would not easily be in-
duced to abandon the custom. To their constant habit of
sitting, and seldom changing their position, there can be no
reasonable doubt that very many of the complaints, peculiar
to literary men are owing.—Curtis on the Preservation of
Sight.

CONSUMPTION.—There is a dread disease which so pre

pares its victim, as it were, for death; which so refines it of
its grosser aspect, and throws around familiar looks un-
earthly indications of a coming change—a dread disease, in
which the struggle between soul and body is so gradual,
quiet, and solemn, and the result so sure, that day by day,
and grain by grain, the mortal part wastes and withers away,
so that the spirit grows light and sanguine with its lighten-
ing load, and feeling immortality at hand, deems it but a new
term of mortal life, a disease in which death and life are so
strangely blended, that death takes the glow and hue of life,
and life the gaunt and grissly form of death; a disease which
medicine never cured, wealth warded off, or poverty could
boast exemption from ; which sometimes moves in giant
strides, and sometimes at a tardy sluggish pace, but, slow or
quick, is ever sure and certain.—Nickleby for July.
THE BALLOT.—I observe Lord John Russell, and some
important men as well as him, saying, " We hate ballot ; but
if these practices continue we shall be compelled to vote for
it." What ! vote for it, if ballot is no remedy of these evils ?
Vote for it, if ballot produces still greater evils than it cures ?
That is, (says the physician,) if feverkincrease in this alarm-
ing manner, I shall be compelled to make use of some medi-
cine which will be of no use to fevers, and will at the same
time bring on disease of a much more serious nature. I
shall be under the absolute necessity of putting out your eyes
because I cannot prevent you from being lame. In fact, this
sort of language is utterly unworthy of the sense and courage
of Lord John ; he gives hopes where he ought to create abso-
lute despair. This is that hovering between two principles
which ruins political strength by lowering political character,
and creates a notion that his enemies need not fear such a
man, and that his friends cannot trust him.—Rev. Sydney
Smith on the Ballot.

CARNIVOROUS PLANTS.—Of all the instances of sensibility
in plants, the most remarkable is that of the Venus fly-trap.
It has a large dilated foot stalk and leaf formed of two lobes
fixed by a middle rib, with some thorny processes or pro-
tuberances, an arrangement to give it irritability. Nature
provides a honey-like secretion which attracts the flies and
insects to feed upon, and by stepping on them the leaves
close, and the insect is entrapped. Mr. Knight first ascer-
tained that this plant could be fed on tilmaments of raw beef,
but the general complaint is, that it will not live long in this
country, from the want of a supply of its proper foot. The
lecturer was the first to discover that the sensibility resided
in the thorns, and not in the middle rib, were it was formerly
supposed to belong. After flies or any other insects are en-
trapped, the leaves remained closed several days, when the
insect may be seen struggling within. The process will go
on till both lobes of the leaf are collapsed and straight, and
the teeth locked, until at last it will re-open, when the insect
will be seen crushed, every particle of fluid being.absorbed,
so that the fly may be blown out at almost the first breath of
wind. There is another plant allied to it in geographical
distribution, which, kept in a green house, entraps beetles,
flies, and other insects. At the bottom of the flower is a
saccharine liquid to which the insect goes, but cannot return,
as be is arrested by what are not inaptly compared to files of
bayonets. The lecturer made a series of experiments on
these plants, which had been in his possession for upwards
of twelve years, by feeding them with filaments of beef and
mutton, and they were at last merely destroyed by accident.
Another plant, a native of our own country, the Droseua
rotundifolia, or sundew of our marshes, possesses apparatus
of an analogous organic character, bearing a viscid fluid, and
a multitude of hairs, which have the effeet of catching in-
sects, whereon to feed the plant.—Professor Johnson's Lec-
ture.

A Bivouac.--I know few things more enlivening and re-
freshing to the mind than the sudden starting into life and
activity of an army from its night bivouac. I have risen be-
fore the first sound of the morning drum—the night was
clear, the moon bright, but calmly bright, the stars sparkled
in brilliancy, the hills in one direction were clothed in silvery
light, in another their dark masses cut sharp and ..:lear on
the bright sky. Some few of the bivouac fires glared red;
many more were gradually dying away ; the ground was
covered over with thousands of forms buried in profound
sleep ; horses in numbers were reposing. The whole scene
was motionless, calm, and silent. It is an hour well suited
for meditation. 1 have thought more in five minutes at those
times than during months in other situations. How nu-
merous are the scenes of former days which then crowd upon
the mind ! how calm and fastened they present themselves !
they, perhaps, even wear a shade of melancholy, but so light
as not to be unpleasing ; it is more than the effect of the sur-
rounding silence, and of the momentary quiet of your own
breast. But the eastern sky wears a paler hue, a beat or two
is heard from the head quarter guard, and the next instant
the drums of the nearest regiment beat. le Diane; this is

taken up by others, by the trumpets of the cavalry, of the
artillery, by the full bands of many corps ; all around, both
near and in the distance, is this enlivening call now heard,
and there certainly exists not a more inspiriting and beautiful,
though simple air. As the strains of music swell on the ear,
the hitherto motionless multitude start on their feet. The
fires blaze more brightly, the clang of arms, the words of
command, the neighing of horses, are heard in all directions—
all is life, noise, and activity ; for the moment, hardships,
fatigues, and privations are all forgotten ; your blood circulates
warmer and quicker—your mind is occupied with what is to
be done, and with the hopes that the coming day may bring
with it occasions for obtaining distinction, and you wonder
how you could but the moment before have felt sentimental.
The soup is eaten, you are in the saddle, the column is
formed, the band strikes up some lively waltz or gallop, you
think of the fair ones with whom you have danced, you sing
some favourite air, and so with a gay and light heart you
march on. During this time the stars and the moon have
vanished, and the glorious sun soon after shines forth in all
its splendour.—Sir Grenville Temple, Bart.
EXETER. HALL.—When it was resolved to pull down
Exeter 'Change, and to widen the Strand, some of the in-
fluential leaders and movers in the religious world started
the scheme of building an "immense edifice," for the meet-
ings of the various societies. Hitherto, there had been no
central point of union; some of the chief societies held their
meetings in the fine room of the FreemaSons' Tavern. But,
though this hall will hold 1,500 persons, it sometimes could
not accommodate one-half who clamoured for admittance.
In 1829 the project was taken up of building on the site of
Exeter 'Change the present structure, which has received the
name of Exeter Hall. It was erected by a company, who
subscribed shares ; and additional expense was defrayed by
donations. The management of the hall is under the direc-
tion of a committee or society, of which Sir Thomas Baring,
Bart. is chairman. The building was completed and opened
in 1831. The stranger, walking along the Strand, might miss
Exeter Hall, unless he looked sharp. The entrance is of an
ornamental character; hut, being narrow, and flanked by
shops, it is apt to be passed in the bustle of the Strand. The
entrance is a porch or portico, formed of two Corinthian
pillars, with 'a flight of steps from the pavement ; but the
building extends a great way back. The principal room is
90 feet broad, 138 in length, and .48 high,"and is lighted by
18 large windows. 'lt will hold 3,000, with ease, and 4,000
crowded. The platform is at the east end, and can accom-
modate 500 persons ; it is fenced from the rest of the-hall by
a railing. Underneath the large hall is a smaller one, for
meetings of a more limited character ; and there are various
rooms appropriated to the use of particular committees or
societies. Sometimes there are meetings in both halls at
the same moment; and a speaker in the lower room will
occasionally be annoyed by the reverberations of the thunders
of applause shaking the great room above him.—London
Saturday Journal.
.MARAUDING.—Some men had attained the knack of crow-
ing like cocks, to draw forth a respondent chaunt from some
concealed poultry, well knowing that where there was a cock,
most probably there were also hens. Nay, a German soldier
of the 60th always carried with him a decoy duck, that he could
make to " quack" whenever he thought proper, to ascertain
whether any of his feathered tribe mightbe in bondage. Nor
were our allies more safe than the peasants; and the
ciple of exchange being " no robbery" was fully applied to
practice with a Portuguese brigade. The. Vos Pierces, as
they were called, had fallen upon a store of hidden brandy ;
but they had no meat—we supplied them. Our people had
fallen upon a herd of swine, which they exchanged for the
spirits. This was the morning after we had carried the
heights of Garris. The night had been dark, the ascent
steep. At every tree a group of the enemy poured a volley
upon the assailants with such a compact fire that many of our
officers and men were wounded by several balls. Thus fell
poor Fearon and Clitheroe. But, despite the darkness and
the unseen foe, who could only be perceived as they retired
before us, by the flashing of their pieces, the hill was carried
by Byng's brigade, led on by their brave commander, and
the face of the mountain was strewed with the enemy's dead.
What was our surprise at daybreak, when, proceeding to bury
the slain, we perceived that, from one who had been in
good condition, large slices of flesh had been cut off with as
much dexterity as a London butcher could have cut out
steaks. Here was the herd of swine on which our rogues
had stumbled ! and they were swilling the Portugese brandy
while our worthy allies were cooking a caldo of Frenchmen
in exchange. All might have gone on smoothly had not
some bungling journeyman butcher left a piece of integument
hanging to a steak. The discovery was awful. The Portu-
guese rushed in crowds to their officers, displaying this sam-
ple of barbarity. They had also seen the mangled French-
man. Their shouts and execrations were loud and furious.
Those who had eaten the soup endeavoured to disgorge it,
with horrible faces and convulsive throes ; whilst others, more
fortunate, upset Pie capsnAettles, and past away their go-
tents, with deep imprecations on all our heads, our fathers
and our mothers. The enquiries set on foot to discover the
offenders were idle. No one 'peached, although the corps
that had committed the disgusting act was well known. For

‘
battalions, while, in reply, our fellows roared out, • /
