AUTUMN THOUGHTS Under this caption
the editor Of the rhiladelphia Inquirer makes
some timely reflections, upon the trnnsilory
nature Of human life, aud the uncertsin,ies
That attend it. The following is the co0clud'
ing portion OF this article:
The true art Of life consists IN checrfnIness
of spirit and icInper--ailabl,y OF hear, and
Of mnnner-due employment for the body
and the mnd-and faith in Providence, aud
,he great doctrine Of the Christian religion.
II ofa sensitive disposition, aud Just to others
us 10 ourselves, we oil discover that n wrong
to neighbor or friend, wantonly committed,
and still unatoncd, will sooner or later come
home, and gnaw like an adder OF that most
precious of all possessions, peace OF mind
Indeed, we have long regarded as one Of our
lavortc mnxlms,-
"viriue alone il happiness below"
Trne. we are sometimes tempted to doubt
the precept, especially when we see the mod.
est and the mcritorious wrestling and strug.
Cling IN vain against the buffetinps Of cold
and hearicss world-and when we see inso.
lcnce and guilt ride into power and wealth,
and sometimes revel upon the plundered
means of the rlhcd widow and orphan. Still
1t is a glorious thing to see the honest man
brensiing the storms OF adversity--hls head
eroct-his spirit undaUn,ed-anc his faith in
the right and in the glorious end. growing
stronger amid the backncss and darkness OF
the night Of misfortune. Man in such an at
iliudr, seems a superior being, and fitted, as
1t were, NJ once and without change, for some
nobler and better destiny.

DISCOVERY OF HoUsE UNDER GROUND IN IRELAHD.-An underground house was discovered last week, near the old road leading from Newbliss to Monaghan, and about three miles from the latter town, in perfect state of preservation, most curi- ois relic of antiquity. A man who lately got pos session of the farm upon which it is situated went to remove unsighty hillock in small meadow close to his house; this little field had been reclaimed Il few years after the rihad been cut on it, and from it to the small lake of Keshan, (abou three hundred yards below t,) was, in ihe memory of old man living it, continued heath moor, with several spades deep of turf cut on tho hillock which formed the roof of the house. The wall is 46 feet by about l6. Outside the entrance is semi-circular yard the base of the wall surrounding well
 all the outer walls, is composed of large rough stones, of them seyera tons weight, standing on their ends something like Stouehenge. The en- trance divided the sem-circuar wall into two equal segmen's, and formed with two larger stones than the others, sufficiently apart to admit with ease. Inside the entrance was an oval apartment, about l2 feet by s, which was arched over from t-
 in feet of the base. The arch composed of flat stones of different sizes, so carefully selected and fitted (hough there not cut stone in the whole building) that the point of penknIie could scarcely be inserted between them. Each stone projected about quarter of an inch the underneath one, until they the top of the roof, which about

GREAT NATURAL RerAKwArEn.-We find in

GREAT NATURAL BREAKwATER.-We find in Chambers Journal an interesting account of n great natural breakwater, formed by coral, which lines a considerable extent of the north coast of Brazll. "Those who have visited Pernambuco, can bear witness to the accuracy of the descriptions
 "It is we'll known that reefs of rock, generally coral, extend along many coasts at short distance from shore, and when concealed from the mariner or unknown to him, are frequent cause of shipwreck. Occasionally they rise far above writer 10 be easily discerned stretching for many miles with the regularity ofan artificial buwark raised for the protec- ton of the land Many of the islands which in such vast numbers stud the Pacific Ocean, are almost wholly encircled by coral belt of this description. But the coast of Brazil presents probably, the most remarkable reef to be found on the globe. Mrs. Graham, an intelligent writer on Brazil, pronounces
 it "certainy one of the wonders of the world. It is about sixteen feet in breadth at the top; the out side it slopes of more rapidly than the celebrated Plymouth breakwater, to great depth, and within it is perpendicular for many fathoms. Mir. Roster informs that it extends all along the coast from Pernambuco to Maranham, distance of nearly one thousand miles. In parts it runs very the coast, in others it recedes to "a distance from it.. Occasionally it declines in height level with the water and sinks below it but for the most part it is bold and high wall of rock, presenting at intervals numerous openings like sea-gates, where vessels may enter at all seasons, and ride from tenipests if they anchored in small lake. The harbor of Permanhuco is formed by this magnificent bulwark Mrs. Graham thus describes the entrance: We appi cached the sandy beach be- tween Recfc Cor Pernambuco) and Olinda nearly, that thought we were going to land there; when, coming abreast of d tower rock where the sea was breaking violently, turned short round, and found ourselves within natural breakwatcr, heard the surf dashng without, and the spray, but ourselves sailing along smoothly and calmly fl in a mill-pond. The reef of which the rock is formed, is said be coral, but il is coated with barnaele and lmpet that could nothing hut tle remainder of these shells for many feet down, and deep into the rock as hammers could break The breadth of the water here between the reef and the mainland, varies from few fatoms three quarters of mile. Close to the reel the water is of consider able depth, and there vessels moor in safcty."

The English whale fishery has been almost entirely abandoned The success of the American whaemen has outstrpped that of all other nations. Whether it is the fearlcssness perseverance of onr men, or their superior skull in harpoonng the monsters of the deep, we have not yet learned. The fact, however, is esahlished that the trade is prosecuted with more success by the Americans than by any other nation Hull, in England, formerly had 50 ships engaged in the whale fishery whereas, at the present time she has hut two. The editor of the Nantucket Enquirer, who understands "every rope in the shp,'' thus speaks of the whale fishery, carried by the En- glish people,
 !" The time has been,' remarks the editor of the Enquirer, when from thirty to forty ships arrived at Hull in single season, bringing the bubber of half a thousand fish, producing some 5000 tons of o-- Now, the two remaining vessels have brought bui 50 tonsresaitng in mast runous loss to the own- CTS. Newcastle, and other northern British ports, have fared even still worse; and the editor of the Hull paper, after decaiming against the trade, as d system of gambling, giving fortunes to few lucky adycnturers, impoyerishng others, dcpriying saors of half their education, turning aside the regular channels of commercial enterprise, and adding nothing to the general capital, concludes that " cure has been nearly effected of the whole fishing mania ''- The decline and final fall of the fishery is inscribed partly the gradually growing conviction of is un. erodsctvcness and to the fact that the fishing sta have become almost inaccessible, by reason of the vast quantities of ice accumulated in and around thir cust0mary passages"

Doubleday & Sears have sent copy of the new play of "London Assurance" which has had such an uncommon run in England and in our Northern cities. The publishers Turner & Fisher, of Philadelphia.
 This edition was, we believe, printed from copy made by sternographcrs, who took it down as acted on the stage; and is said to be identical with the manuscript of the acting copy.
 The Play is il very lively productions full of drama tic efect and likely to succeed admirably repre- sentaton, from the number of striking positions and the yivacity and occasional wit of the dialogue.-- With these qualities, it is hardly worth while to in- vestgate too closely the probabilities of the plot or the naturalness and consistency of the characters.
 The same publishers have issued text book for schools and colleges, entitled "Physiolosy and Animal Mechanism" It is preiaced by number of letters from some eminent scientific Professors in various colleges, commenting the plan and exc cution. It is also for sale by Doubleday & Sears.
