the eyes of two individual witnesses,
was not SO clear to the eyes Of the ma

subsequently became acquainted with
the resurrection of this girl, and loaded
with reproaches the execrablc author
of her misery; but, in this immense ci-

the monster perhaps still breathes; at
least, he has not publicly suffered the
punishment which he deserves.

The city Of Paris has at length sue
ceeded in procuring water from an
Artcsian well, which has for several
years been in progress at Grcenelle, at
an expense of 100000 francs. The
boring instrument, after having reached
the enormous depth OF $50 metres,
(ls37 English feet,) reached the water,
which immediately sprang up in abun-
dance 10 the top of the bore. This opc,
RATION has solved a highly interesting
Geological problem, and proves that a
body of water exists under the green
chalk strata which forms the bed of the
environs of Paris.

Comparative Loss on Gold and Paper, as n
Circulation.

Mr.. Page, distinguished English writer has
from the reports OF the English and American mints
ascerained that there is loss on gold coin hy wear
and tear of i6l per cent in century, which is less
than goth per cent. per annum, and 50 that Of
ry GlOO coined in any particular year, there would
remain over COS Is. lOd. in real value at the end
of 100 years. A comparison is next made of the
expense of paper currency, which, at :! per cent
as stated by Mr.. Norman, is Osnd 10 be lity-three
times greater than the less by wear on gold cur
rency. If the expense Of paper currency be ?!
| per cent per annum, this on a sum Of 100000 O0C
will amount in 100 yeas to E50,000,oO0, whil'
the loss by wear of gold currency of G2O,OOOOOO
during the same period, is only G992,OUo. lh
diff.Ience Is therefore Gi9,O7s,O00.
