 The July number of the North .Anaer- tcas ReDiezo' has reached us by mail, in anticipation Of the regular supply for the city. The contents have been much, as we think, overspraised, by the north ern journalists, although it cannot be denied that some portions of them pos sess considerable interest, and that the whole is we'll written.
 iacomparably the most interesting ar-. -ticle is that upon the subject of "Retorna CD Eauope." Ii is attributed to the pen ofa distinguished gentleman in Mid- dlesex, Massachusetts" [the Honorable EDWARD EvERErro and it evinces a comprehensive understanding of the subject discussed, and is replete with vigorous sentiment and classical taste. The writer has evidently been accus- toned to consider the political condi- ,tion of his race, as exhibited in ancient as we'll as modern history, the allusions to which, inthis essay, are striking and graceful. The progressive political im- provement oi mankind, the develope- ment of republican institutions in Eu- rope, the overthrow of antiquated pre- judces, the subversion of the clumsy es- tablishments that are sustained only by a veneration of whatever is decorated with cobwebs, and especially the down. fall of the military despotism, which has hitherto upheld ignorance and oppres sion, are maintained with strength of argument, and by an allusion to facts. which it will puzzle Sir ROBERT PEE1 and his able organ, the London Quor- terly, either to refute or invalidate.
 Several other articles have also unu- sual interest and value, at the present time; but the next in our estimation is that upon the subject of 's7he Mechaaic s4,fs," which contests the argument of writer in the Edinburgh Repiesp, year or two ago, complaining that the age was growing too mechanical, and inti- mating his fears that our philosophy. and literature would soon be made by mechanics as Dean SWIFT says verses were in Laputa. The argument might have been safely leftto another article Tn the same number, describing ssthe progress of the useful arts;' but the two seem to have proceeded from different pens.
 For our own parts, so far from depre- eating mechanical philosophy, we are rather at loss to imagine how our fore fathers could, before it had introduced So many s'lenatives for pain" and labor, endure existence at all.

Horned Snake.-A Lynchburg paper says, that a horned snake was recently killed in that place, which was between
 7a and 5 feet long, 7inches in circum- ference, of a light ash colour, with dark ash spots along the back, tapering in its form, and with hard stony substance. about two inches long, at the end of it's tail, sufficiently pointed to inilict a wound; and under the tail, about half an inch from the point, was slit about an inch long, through which, when the point was pressed slightly upwards, projected small polished tube, about the SEC of q common straw, brought, however, to point-through this tube 1t was supposed the virus was infected |Fntothe wound made by the horn, which pressed upon a bag or sack of poison, situated at the spot where the horn was joined to the body. When the point struck an object it was slipbtly elevated; thus, at the same time press ing upon the sac, at the root, and pro. truding the tube through the slit. direct y to the wound. It made eight differ ent attemps to strike the gentleman. by throwing itself from the spiral or hoop form, into straight line, sprineine for

 Upon an offer off fifty f fly cents, lad at Cincinnati ascended the eupola, at the 1onrt-holse, and climbed the staff On winch the vane was placed, and straight ened the rod which had been crooked by the wind.

could have collected his thoughts so as to devise so many political improve ments as are aseribed to him, while ! the wind blew so violently through the chunks of his palace as to put out hls candles: and even the Roman world was hardly a compensation to Augustus for living in an age and country where chimney places were unknown, ard where the brazier of burning charcoal must have aggravated by it's fumes his chronic catarrh. What sorrows must Apicius have endured from having his best receipts spoiled by smoke in the cooking! And, to come nearer to our own time and progenitors, who wonders that the Percies sought 10 warm the blood in foray, when by their house. hold laws no fires were allowed after the 25th of March? We think it now-a- days great evil when the lady of the house vigorously banishes fires after the straw mating supplies the place of the carpet, which is not done more than fortnight before they can be dispensed with, nor continued much longer after me begin to want them again. It was aneently reekoned, we find, one of the qualifications of a good cook to know which way the smoke would move, that the dishes might not be spoiled. We need not mention our modern superiori- ty in this particular, not above half or three-fourths of our chimneys being giv- on to smoke at fhis day
 It seems even the reproach of effemi- macy is to be taken from us, it being as- certained that certain degree of luxu- ry is favorable to vigour. In the pe- ninsulaf campaigns, says our historian ofcomforts, the officers just from Bond street sustained the march and bivouac better than the veterans. IL this respect, we hope the doctrine will at length pre- vail, that pleasure is utility, and that a man isnot the less wise for being com fortable.
 The questions are curious which are discussed in the articles on the ''Laws of population and wages The next, on the ''Poetry and Romance of the Italians, is written apparently by one vefsed ia his subject. The s.ori.in and progress of the useful arts is an ar tiele of some entertainment, as also that on Popularsports and Festivals. The two following are "Pennsylyanian Bi- ography," and HThe Cherokee Case.' ? There is an article, also, on the North eastern Boundary, and a short one on 'Haryard University" In the sLife and character of Henry Broughdm,' , Justice is done to an extraordinary man, the hero ef an extraordinary epoch, who, as might be expected, has excited much abuse and rancour in his political adversaries and their adherents.
 'sile is master ofth English law, the most complicated and difhcult ofall the sciences-a science to ascend whose heights, and fathom whose depths, de- mands strong powers, strongly exerted. ;
 The reforms which are required in the law, though they may prove the partial and occasional inaptness of the system to the wants of society, do not detract from, but add to, the praise of those who have mastered the whole ex- traordina y mass. Mir. Brougham could not have devised all the reforms he has promoted, without a genius the most comprehensive, sustained by most inde- fatigable diligence.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.

When freedom, from her mountain helght
 Infurled her standard to the air, She tore the azure robe of night,
 And set the stars glory there. She mingled with it's gorgeous d1es The milky b aldrick of the skies, And striped it's pure celestial white With streakings of the morning light; Then, from his mansions Tn the sun, Sine caH'd her eagle bearer down, Aud gave ifito lis mighty hand The symbol of her chosen land! Majestic monarch of the cloud!
 Who rear'st aloft thy regal form, To hear the tempest, trumplng loud, And see the lightning-iances driven,
 When stride the warriors of the storm, And rolls the thunder-drum of heaYen! Child ofthe Sun! to thee 'tis given
 To guard the banner of the free, To hover in the sulphur smoke, To ward away the battle stroke, And bid it's blendings shine afar, Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
 The harbingers of victory Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly, The sign of hope and triumph high! When.speaks the signal trumpet-tone, And the long line comes gleanlng on, iEre yet the life-blood, warm and wet, Has dim'd the glist'ning bayonet, Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn To where thy meteor-glories burn, And, as his springing steps advance, Catch war & vengeance from the glance: And when the cannon-mouthlngs loud Heaye in wild wreathes the battle shroud And gory sabres rise and fall, There shall thy victor glances glow,
 And COW wering foes shall sink beneath Each gallant arm that strikes below
 That lofty messenger of death. Flag of the seas! on oceans wave Thy stars shall glitter o'er the brave, When Death, careering on the gale, Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail, And frighted waves rush wildly back, Before the broad-side's reeling rack, The dying wanderer of the sea Shall look, at once, to heaven and thee, And smile to see thy splendours fly. In triumph, o'er his closing eye. Flag of the free hearts only home,
 By angel hands to valor given! Thy stare have 1t the welkin dome,
 And all thy Iaies are born in Heaven! Forever float that standard sheet
 Where is the foe out falls before ns! With freedoms soil beneath our feet,
 And freedoms banner streaming Der
 us! CROAKER S5 co.
