ZooLoGIcAL lNsrITUTR.-The Editor
Of the New Y ork Star, in closing a no.
tice of this collection of animals in that
city, remarks:-
"The most extraordinary and startling
part of the whole exhibition, is that Of
the keeper, Mr.. Vanamburg, entering
the cages of these ferocious animals
1t is most fearful and appalling exhibi-
ton, when at a given moment the music
ceases, the heavy going sounds, the
iron bolts Of the cage are Withdrawn, and
this fearless man enters, where we would
suppose n horrid and instaRia aneous death
awaits him-where all in breuthless anx-
iiety expect 10 see the jaws or the fero-
cious lions, or the blood thirsty tiger,
opened to devour him; and where, like
criminals of old, he would be rent from
10 limb, the spoilarum deluged with his
blood. Instead of this fearful expecta-
ton being realized, it is strange and Of
deep interest to see, these powerful ami
mails crouch at his feet--to see him open
their extended jaws, put his head into
their mouths, where one snap, one clos
ing Of the same, would roll him head
less corpse in the lions den.--It is, we
say, fearful and appalling sight, and
yet he holds them in his control and mas
terry, like tho tame and submissive lamb.
This sight alone has attracted thousands
at time"

The trial of Matthias, on the charge
of murder, has been brought to close.
The Jury, under the direction Of the
Court, gave a verdict Of Not Guilty -
He was then tried on charge of as
sault and battery on his daughter, and
sentenced to Imprisonment for three
months, besides an imprisonment for one
month, for contempt Of Court.
Judge Rugglcs, after pronouncing the
sentence, addressed Matthias as follows:
eve now tell you that the times for
practising these foolish impostions, are
past. The Court is satisfied that you
arc an impostor, and that you do not be-
lieve in your own doctrines. We advise
you, therefore, when you come out Of
Jail, to shave off your beard, lay aside
your peculiar dress, and 60 to work like
an honest man."

New LIFE OF GENERAL JACKSON
The editor Of the Cincinnati Gazette,
Charles Hammond, is engaged in writ
ing life Of Andrew Jackson, which
will be ready for the press in a short
time. Mr.. Hammond is unquestionably
a thorough Wing, and of course opposed
in all principle TO the Tory measures
pursued III Gen. Jackson's name through
nearly the whole course of his Presiden-
tial career; but Mr.. Hammond is a: the
same time, not only sound scholar ard
man Of talents, but he is a man capable
of lofty and broad view Of his subject,
and capable, too, Of feeling all proper
scorn OF mere partisan biography OF n
distinguished American citizen, merely
because he Is opposed to him in politics,
and because he thinks him unqualified
for the station which he occupies. We
shall, therefore, expect the FIRST real
biography that has yet been published
of the President.-[.N. Y. Courier.

SLoop EMPREss BuRNr.-Tho packet
sloop Empress, Capt. Mason, of Providence,
on her passage to New York, about 20 miles
this side of that port, on Tuesday night last,
about l2 o'clk, took fire and was totally los'.
The wind was blowing fresh, and all hands
had been on deck abou; an hour, and when
4 first discovered the flames were bursting
out of the cabin. 1t is supposed, as the wa
ter was rough, the stove in the cabin must
have oversct and caused the fire. Every
effort to cxtinguish the flames proving inef-
lectual, the crew abandoned her and went OIL
board schooner lying near, whence they
were taken on board Of the steamboat Water
Witch. When the Water Witch left tho
wreck, she was completely in flames abaft
the moin hatch, and nothing saved. The
sloop was laden with about 900 cubic feet OF
domestic goods, I07 casks lime, 10 hbds.new
rum. and 10 hbds. molasses, belonging to dlf-
ferent persons. The vessel was owned by
Capt. Mason, Munton and lIellct, and the
heirs of Whpple Brown-the interest Of the
latter was insured.
! The wreck wns afterwards fallen in with
! by the steamboat Boston, Captain Comstock,
nj half past . o'clock in the morning, nearly
consumed, her deck having fallen in.

To the Editor of the Richmond Enquirer.

Your call upon your editoriabrethren of the North
for their opinions the feelings Of their fellow cit
izens the movements of the abolitoniss, shall be
answered with promptitude and alacrity.
We might answer that question briefly, and VIC
toriousy guess for all your readers at the South
and in true yankee way, by asking them another
question which is this Would not the abolition
of slavery, without provision for immediate trans
portation be the greatest calamity which could be-
fall the North Do you believe that industrious
Yankees, would be glad to have hundreds of thou
sands of black competitors in all their present pro-
ductive occupatons' In this enlightened age; in
this money getting age, it be expected that
will sacrifice their worldly interests the bid
ding of few wild fanatics, pushed on, by few
sordd speculators' Be it known to you sir, that
there are certain Tappans, since that is the momme
de guerre of the party, who make this very profit
able speculation.
But what all good men most lament is, that at
tcmpts have been made to use this party engine
and accuse the Democrats of being abolitionists
The Democrats are workingmen, and cannot work
against their own interests they would be the first
and greatest sufferers by the measure: We will
not condescend to retaliate the charge on the Fed
eralists and Wings but would refer for infor'
nation that subject to the Boston Statesman o
the Stl of this month there will be found startling
facts.

A Curiosity-We have in our possession an In
dian Tomahawk, Hatchet, of very rude con-
sructon, which was taken few days since from
the heart of white oak saw-log, nearly two and
half feet in diameter, and the grains from where ii
was deposited to the outside of the log numbered
lS2. The distance in which it was deposited from
the bottom of the trees such as to lead to the
supposition that it might have been hung in the
crotch Of sapling, which, as it grew up closed
around it and imbedded it within the trunk, and
probably the lapse of time is less than two hun
dred years since it there left.-There is every
to suppose its owner belonged to one of the
warIike tribes of Indians who inhabited this section
of country at least two centuries ago, there are
numerous indications i'll this town of forti6cations
upon which trees of about the above size are now
growing.
The instrument was found while in the act of
saving the log at the mill of Solon Hall, Esq, at
La Grange, in this county The saw penetrated
the iron about half inch before the mill could be
stopped, entirely running the SAW. y. Paper

Mr.. Van Buren, is said to be ambitious, so are
our politicians, generally. But he is /" a magician,
so all fthem, or would be, if they had his wand
He has been accused of intrigue, subtety, dishon-
esty &c. But what has been prOoed against him
We have never anything of this kind proved.
He must have been more honest than his accusers
or possessed some magic poper truly, thus to have
eluded all their searching operations. They have
certainly watched him closely enough.

ALARMING.

IIIGnLY IMPORTANT Attack on the Post Office
at Charleston BY the steamer Columbia, ar
rived Just as we about going TO press, we
learn that in consequence Of the arrival, July 29th,
of an immense amount Of incendiary tracts on abo-
ition, in this vessel, from New York, mob assem-
bled at midnight composed of the most respectable
persons, broke open the bags abstracting herefrom
the aforesaid pamphlets. According to full notice
published, the same were burnt at p. Nj. on the
next evening opposite the main guard house, 5000
persons present. The effgies Of Arthur Tappan,
Or. Cox and w. L. Garrison, were at the same time
suspended.
At 9 O'Clock the balloon was let off, and efigies
were consumed by the neck with the vile documents
at their feet. Some regret is expressed that this
summary act was not postponed for few days a,
least, as the Post Master had determined to withhold
the slanderous publications from circulation, until
orders could be received from Washington respecting
their destination.
The excitement was immense, but Is now some
what allayed. The Intendant and Council called a
meeting of the citizens for the Sd, for further delb-
eraiions There is but sentiment IN the South,
and that is as il should be, unanimous against the
atrocious designs of nothern fanatics.
