MISERY OF SPAIN
From The Courier Trsncx;..

Tie following is an extract finm
an intelligent and impartial mer-
chant WHO has lately gone to Ma
drid ON personal business |; It Is da-
ted tle 3ist OF August / 81.
:" TIE misery which prevails here
is beyondall bounds it is fright
fuI, The two4ti,ird parts OF the pop
ulalion of Tolosa, Vittoria, Burgos,
Amanda, Buytriaso, arc literally
without brcccl,es, shirts, stockings,
shoes or hats. An old, filthy CLOAK,
made up of thousand filthy shreds,
put together in a filthy manner. Cow
crs filthy skeleton. with q long
beard aud fierce and haggard eye
AT liun, soldiers, exciseincn, priests
and employers Of evcay descriptions
begged aims ofus. At Briyicsca,
cerioas parsonage, who llcld plato
in one hand and a little holy sacra-
ment of copper in the other, asked
us for an aIIns-for God. In Bur-
gos was present while tho frag-
menls of a monks dinner were be-
ing distributed. Two hundred crca-
tuIcs dressed in tatters, rushed ona
over tho other into the middle of the
convent court, and there disputed
for the bones, broken bread, and
chick peas, remaining after meal.
Women were thrown down by old
men, and these in their turn by
the more young a,d vigorous Of their.
own sex. Here the most horsible
cries, mingled with the words Par
Dies and Santo Padre, gave to the
scene a character Of which the dis
tribntion of sausagcs at Paris on
festival days can give you bat faint
idea. On the otirr hand, l havo
seen, in the cathedral of Burgess, six
chandeliers Of massive silver, five
feet high, which might bc estima-
ted at "a hundred thousand crowns.
Six lamps Of The same metal, all new,
as were the chandeliers, burn night
and day. while the poor mas is in
want of caudle in his wrctcied
hut. The same melancholy misery
at Amanda, Bayhiago. and Somo
Sierra. Tie hotels would make
you groan empty. dirty, and de-
sc erted, they afford no food but Of
the most vile aud ordinary kind.and
this for The highest price. Living

A CURIOSITY.

Mr., Gibbs. Lottery Broker, of Phila~
delphia, has been recently exhibiting in
this state a curious piece of mechanism,
said TO be the work of an Italian artist.
1t consists of box three and an half in
ches long, two and half wide. and one
and quarter deep-of fine gold. On
one end is snuff box-on the other, a
lid opens and discloses an eight day
time piece, which, besides striking the
hours and quarters, plays number of
beautiful tunes But the most wonder
iul part is, that on setting spring,
a picture on the top of the box
rises slowly, and discovers bird ascen-
ding from below. The bird is of about
an inch in length, of plumage the most
rich, and vet the most natural. 1t sings
with astonishing sweetness, and accom-
panes its voice with all those motions
common to living bird--ils head turns
from side to side--Its little bill opens and
lis throat swells at every note, and its
wings and tail spread and contracts du-
ring its song. After finishing and re-
1eatng its strain il drops upon its gol-
den nest, descends to its retreat and the
lid gently closes to its place IA. Sen

PANAMA-As this Spanish city ha

PANAMA-As this Spanish city has
become famous of late, and will proba-
bly, be more so, brief account of it may
be pleasing TO our readers
Salmon tells US that Panama is the
capital OF the province of Darien, that
it is situated at lat 9, upon capacious
bay Of the pacific ocean; but we think
it is more correct to say that the pro-
vince of Panama was in the Yiceroyalty
of New Granada, and that if is bounded
east by the province of Darien. We
may not be correct in the nea denomina-
tons OF some of these old Spanish set
dement's. Ships cannot come nearer
than three miles to the city of Panama,
but are obliged to unload at the island
of Perica, such is the shallowness of the
water.
Panama was the see Of Bishop and
the residence of the Governor OF the
Province; and it was once the depot o.
the riches of Peru, and there stored IN
agazines, before transporting them to
Europe; and here, too, was the depo-
site ofthe various merchandise OF Eu-
rope, to be disposed Of at enormous prl-
ces, to the oppressed colonists, for the
kings Of Spain monopolized every thing
valuable in commerce
Old Panama stood about four miles
from the present city. 1t was taken by
Sir Henry Morgan, and was destroyed
by fire While the English possessed it,
probably in order to rid themselves of
the plunderers TIE old city was built
OF wood-the new one chiefly of stone,
and pretty well fortiiied.-There is a
little doubt but it viii become place of
great importance, and be named as of
ten in america, as Utrecht has been
since 1918 in Europe, and from SINH
| lar cause.
Panama is pronounced in the last
| syllable broad; not so as rhyme with
ldW; but with the interjectioh all And
so too of CUmanA The fashionable
mode OF pronouncing Niagara, by lay
ing the accent on the g, is deviation
from tire original Indian. The name
Panama has reference to the resem-
bles in shape to loaf Of bread.

in their stables by some unknown villain

Of horse stealing is progressing. We
would respectfully suggest, the proprie-

the detection of horse thieves-the
good effects of such associations have
been experienced in several counties of
this state--their united effects not on
ly generally eventuate in the recovery
of the beast and detection of the thief,
but they tend to deter such wretches
from attempting to practice their thefts

SAYS of it," This book contains a fund Of
knowledge, particularly in natural and physi-
cal sciences, which We have never seen con-
densed in so small compass. Tie selections
have been made with great discrimination,
from the best authorities" sc. The .4msri-
can Journal Of Education observes, -" The
Literary and Scientific Glass Book is, we
think, one of the most valuable School books
that has hitherto heen published. II is work
which may accelerate Improvement every
where but it promises to be peculiarly useful
in towns and villages where there is not con-
venient access TO extensive libraries. ''-s' Mr..
Leonard has, we think been very successful in
adapting It to the use of schools in the United
States. "-Mr. Hale, Principal Of the Gardin-

From the New-YOrk Evening POST

ST.4.NZ.AS.
Along the rugged path of life,
So lonely, wild and drear,
Where Dought is heard but toll and strife,
And nought but cares appear;
And where, for every fragrant fow'r,
thousand thorns arise,
And joys uncertain, fleeing hour,
Like meteor glows aud dies;
There is light that brightly shines
Mid passions widest rage,
A charm around the heart that twines
From childhood up to age
That light, that charm, when storms arise,
Like heavens own beams appear;
The light-it shines from beauty's eye:
The charms woman's tear.
The monarch, on his lofty throne,
The lowly village swain,
Alike the magic influence own,
And bow beneath their reign:
When waivers hopes unsteady light,
And dark is reasons ray,
Oh. then, with radiance pure and bright,
They light cur dreary way.
Fen at the last and dreadful hour,
When fears, and death appal,
The spirit owns their mystic pow'r,
And fingers at their call.
And when, above the lowly grave,
Its head the willow rears,
Brighter and greener does it wave,
Bedew'd by woman's tears.
