"What's in name?" exclaims the poet. And truly there would seem to be a good deal in it, if the discussions i'll relation to the cog nomen of the Polish General, who has just distinguished himself so gloriously, be adopt cd as a due criterion. A French paper told IS that it should be pronounced as if written Skrejentski. But this did not prove altogether satisfactory. The authority was at first dis puted, and we were not informed where the accent should be placed. Much speculation consequently arose, and it remained for cor respondent of cotemporary to sever the Gordian knot in the following summary man. ner.--
 "To put an end to the general complaint of the impossibity, or, at least, the difficulty ofpronouncing some Polish names, will make the following brief remarks.
 "As we have learned from a French pa per the name of the brave Skrzynecki to be pronounced Skrejinetski, l will only add that this, expressed with English characters, would be written Skerzhinctski, or Skershinetsk, the accent resting, as in most Polish polysylla- bles, on the penultimate.
 "In a similar manner pronounce the C in all Polish names like Is in English Gas Flock, read Plotsk; } the Polish sz like English sh Gas Kalsz, read Kalish;) and lastly, the Po- fish cz like oh in church Gas Lovicz, read Lovich O. Lovtch.)
 "This is all that is chiefly to be noticed about Polish names, by attending to which you will preserve the true sound of the name of many champion of FREEDOM.

7ne YaHeu of La Platd.-The great val lev of the La Plata, with respect to its mag nitude and peculiar soil and surface, is the most extraordinary on the globe. No countfy in the world presents so level a surface, being one wide extended plain, reaching from the river of Plata to the Cordillera of the Andes. It is the lower section of this superfces which is emphatically denominated the PamfaS, and it extends nearly 1900 miles from north and south, with a breadth of about 500 miles, being great trapezum, as Breckenridge calls it, or irregular figure. containing 100000 square miles. Over all this immense space there is scarcely tree or shrub, or single perennial plant. There are neither hills nor emnence, and the undulations are almost in- dsccrnble by the eye. The keen and deso- lating tornados called pamporas sweep across this unsheltered region without any obstruc- tion, and discharge themselves with accumu' lated and resstless fury upon the broad ex- panse of the La Plata. The surface is ricl
 black mould, without stone, gravel, or sand
 next is stratum of clay, and lastly a substra tum of gravel, which reaches down to water
 The whole is luxuriantly productive of grass
 and forms one boundless pasture ground.- Baldwin and Bonplapd, the companions 0 Humboldt, both say that it might be timber ed with success; and Mir Head informs u
 "that if cities, and millions of inhabitants could suddenly be planted at proper interval
 and situations, the people would have nothny to do but drive out their cattle to graze, and
 without any previous preparation, to ploug

Moreover, there is in the possession of the
 Lyceum very large elephants grinder from
 Pennsylvania, and said to have been found on
 the 8arface of the earth. Now, if it had lain
 thus exposed from the death of the animal
 to which it belonged, that death could not
 possibly have been very remote; for ether
 wise the decomposition of the tooth would
 have been complete. It is, indeed, some what decayed, but its structure and nature are evident. It would seem, then, that this continent was at no very remote period the abode of animals, the whole of which, for some unknown reason, have perished. The Notifications, or what are supposed to have been Notifications, on our western waters, have induced some persons to believe that there formerly existed race of men in our superior in civilization, and conse- quentlY in pawer, to our present Indians But if they were superior they caud not have been cut off by force. They might have been destroyed, however, by the same causes, they were that proved fatal to the the horse, and the elephant. We know, indeed, that the Guanches, race of Caucasian men inhabiting some If the Canary Islands, were eXterminated, at period net at all distant, by circumstances altogether ssl- known. Other potent causes, then, besides floods and earthquakes, have had their share in determining the fate of the inhabitants of our globe. BUTTON.

From the United states Telegraph

Ewell, Author of the Medical Companion, or Family Physician, announces to the public, his intention to remove from the City of Washington to NewOrleans. Communications on medical, or other subjects, which may be made to him, will, from this period, be ti- rected to the latter place.
 Dr E. solcts of his professional brethren, who have the welfare of their fellow citizens at heart, to communicate frankly to him such suggestions as may be an improvement to the Medical Companion, and which may have come under their knowledge, not only in re- gard to the management of diseases, but also in relation to the virtues of our medicinal plants. The principal object he has in view of locating himself at New Orleans, is toren- der the work more acceptable to the public, by ascertaing whether the diseases in that section of the country vary much from the treatment of those already described incident to the Southern and Middle States. Although he has been i'll requted in pecuniary point of view for his devotion to the public good, yet he anticip pates, if his life be preserved, to pub fish the early part of next year, an edition of the Medical Companion, with the last inn provements that will ever be made by him, and which, there is no doubt, will be acknnw- lodged by every reader to surpass, very far, any of the former editions, both as to matter and execution. This and such other editions as may hereafter follow, will be placed in the hal ds of respectable book sellers, beyond the reach of papermakers, printers, bookbinders, and tinerant agents l; and by this judcious ar rangemcnt, it is to be hoped he may, at least, participate in the emoluments arising from the sale of the work. Instead of realizing a fortune as he ought to have done, from the sale, and as he had every reason to expect, from the popularity of the Medical Compan- | ion, his own reward for loss of time, expense of labor, and the sacrifice of {: lucrative prac- tice of his profession, in rendering his work worthy of being laid before the public, has been to witness and submit to deep-laid and organized systems of fraud, by which the whole amount of its profits has been diverted from his own hand to enrich the pockets oi others. Tousc the language of a distinguished public spirited character, and an accurate ob- server of men, as expressed in letter to friend of the author, in speaking of his mls' fortunes" He literally fulfilled the Scrip lures he fell among thieves-he was stran ger, and they took him in, but they did no feed nor clothe him-they hiundered him out rageously."
 r. $. Publishers of newspapers, by giving the above an insertion in their respective pa pers, it is verilv believed, will advance th' interests of the public generally; and by thi act of benevolence they will receive the grate ful acknowledgement of Dr E. Those wh

4 Nc7v Cure for Me Gou.--The authen- ticity of the following extraordinary fact can be verified. Mir H -, a middle aged gen tleman, long afflicted by various disorders, and especially by the gout, had so far recover ed from severe attack of the latter com plaipt, that he was enabled to stand, yet, with so little advantage that he could not walk more than fifty yards, and it took him nearly an hour to perform that distance. While thus enfeebled by suffering, and safely creep ing with great difficulty on sunny day along a level footpath by the side of field near So- mers Town, he was alarmed by loud cries, interminged with the screams of many voices behind him. From his inhrmity he could on ly turn very slowly round, and then to his as tonishment he saw within yard of his coat tail, the horns of mad bullock when to the equal astonishinent of its pursuers, this un- happy gentleman instantly leaped the fence, md overcome by terror, continued to run with amazing celerity the whole distance of the field, while the animal kept its own course along the road. The gentleman who had thus miraculously recovered the use of his legs, retained his power of speed until he reached : ;s uNli ilc sc, where he related the miracI- lous circumstance nor did his quickly re- stored faculty of walking abate, until it ceas- ed with his life, several years afterwards. - This |" miraculous cure" can be attested by his surviving relatives.
