The SEA SERpENr.-A letter has
been receiv, d at the Merchan Exchange
from Capt Wales, (son of 4. b. Wales
Esp of barque Wave, a! Malaga, from
Boston, dated Sept. 5, in which he states
that on the 9Th OF Angus, about 6 p. NJ,
Cape CD, bearing E. by. S. so miles, he
discovered a huge sea monster crossing
the bow, about a half mile distant 10 the
northwest. II at fist appeared like the
surf breaking over rock or reef, but it
soon arose in Il perpendicular position, 80
or 40 feet above the surface, remaining
for about 10 seconds, and then following
horizontally, the body disappeared, leav-
ing a wake in the water, and rising again
in the same position at nearly regular in
tervas for the space Of haitian hour, when
1t disappeared entirely. lis form was that
of an eel, the largest part appearing next
the water. The head was somewhat
smaller than the body and from the por-
ton exposed, Capt. w. judged the body
to have been from 90 to 1870 feet long,
and the circumference that of a hogshead
cask. Both Capt. Wales officers, Mr..
Lincoln, passenger, and part oil the crew,
had fine view OF the monster. Adcer-

TARTAR ON THE TEETH-A singular
paper was lately read before the French
! Academy of Sciences, from M. MandI, en-
titled Microscopic investigations as to the
nature OF the tartar and mucous coverings
OF the tongue and teeth" If we are 10
believe NJ, Mand' IS microscope, the hu-
man mouth is perfect cemetery, where
millions of infusori@ find their catacombs.
Leuvenkouk had already tod US that the
human mouth was peoped with millions
OF intusory aLimals, and that the mucons
secretion Of its surface served as their
ocean, but it remained for NJ Mandl to
discover that The tartar which covers the
teeth is formed of the mountains of the
dead of these inhabitants of this ocean,
NJ. Mand knows not to what cause to at
tribute the origin of these microscopic an
imas, bal he has ascertained, he SAYS
that they are most numerous in persons
who live on spare diet. True WESLEYAN.
CIRCUMSTANCES OF SENATOR Inns
DEATH--The circumstances attending
the death Of Senator Linn, have not, we
believe, been correctly stated in any quart
err. DR.. Linn was, up TO the evening Of
The Cd uIt. in the enjoyment OF unusually
good health. He was then engaged in
preparing some business, intending on the
next day to visit ST. Louis. In the after
noon, when STOPPING to search for some
papers in trunk at his side, he raised his
head suddenly, and asked Mrs. Linn if
his face appeared flushed, rs he felt ex-
ceedingl y dizzy, and there seemed TO be
a general determination of blood to the
head The painful sensation, however,
