PHRENOLOGY.
! At a recent meeting OF the French
Institute, d Memoir was presented by
Mr. Letut, physician to the Bicetre,
calculated to influence TO a great de-
gree, the public opinion on the subjees
OF Phrenology. The experiments Of
this observer, made upon one hundred
male idiots, have led him 10 the fols
lowing conclusions;
FIRST, admitting as the general
rule that the size of the skull is pros
porticnate to the developepent Of the
rest Of the body, it will BE found that
the skull of the idiot i, larger than
tina, OF the individual of ordinary in
telligence. Secondly, that in the ldi,
OF. so far from finding the anterior
half Of the skull less developed, when
compared with the posterior half, as
/ has been commonly supposed, II is
actually found proportionately more
: developed than in ordinary indlyldl'
G ais. These facts, founded upon d
f careful and extended observation
h strike a blow at the first and iupda-
J mental doctrine of Phrenology, that
\ the developement of the hair and the
: skull are proportionate 10 that OF the
Il intellectual faculties; aiiordlng at the
n same time new illustration Of the
N premature effort that has been made
At to elevate to science study sup
lt ported only by few plauslblr factsi
70 Indeed, it is one of the most serious
I'd obstacles to the theory Of Gall, that it
| has found, neither in this country, nor
ne in France its original seat, the support
70 of those the best able to Judge OF its
ke merits and to establish its truth. We
er were particularly struck with this
er fact while attending, nearly two
es wears since, the meetings Of
el- the Royal Academy of Medicine IN
ee Paris, where this subject was being
NV discussed. 1t was then remarked that
no the individuals, who from their posi-
v | ton and attalnments as Physicians to
hos hospitals for the insane, and as dlshn-
op- guished anatomists, were more wor
en-. thy of being heard-were unequlvo
as caiy opposed to Phrenology. Among
of these we will mention Professors
rht Magendie, Cruvellier, and NJ. Esqul
est. rol, so well known for his protoqnC
and researches on insanity. The opinions

am more attentive consideration, from

REMARKABLE ADVENTURE
OF LORD BYRON.

Lord Byron, during his residence
at Venice, made frequent sea excur-
sions, and one of those trips involved
him in circumstances OF no small peril.
The privilege of attending HIM on
those occasions was strongly coveted;
and there was not a gondolier IN Ne-
nice. nor a sailor in the Adrlatlc, but

posed himself to any danger for his.

RELIGION AND MORALS.
-nder this caption the Madisonlar

Under this caption the Madlsonlan
has the following paragraphs:
On Sunday, Mr.. SlIcer, the chap
lain. preached at the Capitol. In the
course of lis sermon, speaking OF the
cover Of the gospel, he alluded to the
striking illustration furnished by the
Choctaw Indians. In quietness and
submission they left the land OF their
fathers graves, and proceeded to the
place Of their destination, brcanse the
gospel had taught them TO suppress
the feeling Of revenge and to submit
to the will Of Providence. On the
other hand, the Seminoles, to whom
/ the gospel had not been carried by the
preachers of religion, were lnhamed
with a spirit of revenge, and after a
war costing eleven millions, last year,
were still unsubdued.
In the afternoon Mr.. Richards, who
has been fifteen years missionary IN
the Sandwich Islands, preached IN MI,
McLane's church, and described the
wonderful effects produced by the
gospel in those islands-human sacrI'
, fees, iniantoide, idolatry abolished
intemperance nearly extlnct-the sab
