A copy Of the valuable and elegnn,
work noticed in the following paragraph
is to be sent out by the Department Of
State with the Chinese Mission, which
is about to leave the United States
A late number Of the French Journal
des De5ates contains IA notice of the last
number of Michael Cheval,er's new work
entitled History aud Description of meth.
odS Of Communication in the United
States. The text aud plates of this work
arc SAID to be particularly devoted To
numerous very ingenious constructions
invented by Americans, which have
been very successful IN the United States
and may be advantageously inflated in
Europe. Among these are the inclined
planes, which take the place of locks on
canals, from the Morris Canal, and the
sale and cheap arrangement for inc lined
planes on railroads, taken from the road
between Po,sviIle and Sudbury. But
of all these inventions, the Journal des
Drbais considers the w0oden bridges, in
which the Americans excel, as the most
remarkable. IL is the first time these
various methods have been minuielv des-
cribed in Europe. Nj. Chevalicr has
done 1t so faithfully that they may he
very easily inflated and in fact some
wooden bridges, made after his descrip.
'lons, and on the American plan, have
been erected at Corsica and on the con.
linent. The last number contains n
general description of the public works
IN The United States, and parallel is
drawn in it Of what has been done in
England and France, with what has
been effected in this way in America
This is said TO form no, the least curious
part OF this large and valuable work"

tribe, The tiger. A sailor, who had beer
strolling round the exhibition, loitering
here and there to admire and identify
some Of the animals with those he had
seen in far distant climes, was attracted
by the strange noise made by a tiger wht
seemed irritaied hey ond endurance. -
Jack, somewhat alarmed, sought the
keeper To inquire The cause of so singula
display of feeling, which, he remarked

approached the animal the keeper re.

lIymenial and Obituary Notices.

Mistakes frequently happen in pub.
fishing notices OF Marriages and Deaths
either in consequence Of incorrect in
formation, or Of the entire want of in.
formation, leaving the printer to CUES,

which could aways be avoided if the
immediate friends Of the parties con
