The windows are for, med in the Gothic style, the lower floors usu- ally of marble. Take the houses generally, they present rather gloomy and comfortless appearance, In winter they must be uncom- fortable indeed, it is so intensely cold, and there are no fires except in the under parts of the buildings, and the heat is communicat- ed by tunnels concealed by the ceilings. The streets are paved with round stones, which the intensity of the cold in winter throw up, and which require replacing every spring. The side walks are paved with solid marble, and are twenty-five feet in width The uu- common width of the street, adds much to the beauty Of the city, which is, without excep- tion, the handsomest have seen, and know not that there is any one to be found surpass. ing it in neatness and elegance.

Salmon ofthe Coium6ia Riper.--We saw number of casks of pickled salmon land
 ing from the brig Owyhee, taken on board at Columbia river, on the North West Coast- Our attention was attracted towards them, by the uncommon size of the fish, being the thickest, latest, and heaviest we ever saw surpassing those of the Labrador and New foundland, and weighing in their pickled state from 10 to 25 pounds each, perfectly sweet
 and fine favored, although theyhad been pur- chased on the river, of the natives, upwards
 of ten months, and have since twice crossed the equator. Their having been pickled in l molasses casks, emptied on the outward yoy-
 age, had no doubt, tendency to insure their
 preservation. These fine fish are taken by
 the Indians with drag nets, made by them selves. They are hauled to the shore in great
 numbers, then split open and laid in the sun
 to dry without any salt or pickle whatever.
 They constitute large proportion of the sus-
 tenance of the natives during a long and cold winter. This fishery would be a very impor- tant addition to the commerce of the North West Coast, did not the risk and hazard in crossing the bar at the mouth of the Colum- i, bia river, which is dangerous in the extreme, present an obstacle almost insurmountable to its navigation by even our enterprisng and un- | daunted merchants and seamen.
 Boston TiraHscriht | Imhrudent Leah.-An overgrown Johnny
 Raw, who would measure six feet two in his stockings, made his first appearance in Cats
 kill, (N. Y.) a few days ago, for the double purpose of disposing of a load oflumber, and
 seeing the wonders of the town. Having ne- yer in his life falleni in with water craft lar l get than canoe, his first desire was to see
 ship, sloop, horseboator a steamboat, it was
 all one to him. He drove directly to the wharf "a vessel swinging out a few yards in the
 stream, by her cable, and the surface of the water between her and the wharf covered
 with a floating mass of scum, chips, and rub-
 bish collected by the eddy. He paid no at
 tention to this, but with his eyes fixed on the
 vessel, walked to the edge of the wharf, and
 jumped offa distance of about five teetto take
 anearer view; down he went and the scum closed over him; in moment more he reap
 peared fortunately within reach of the dock,
 he seized hold, and crawled out dripping and
 shivering with the cold. Oh dear said he, "I thomght it was ground.--PhiI Gag.
