BRITISH RAGE FOR MONOPOLY.

ltappcars that the English have intrigued
successfully with the Bolivian government
for the exclusive privilege Of exporting
bark, by the British; and the general opn-
ion is that it will be granted, and contnu.
ed, let what change Of government soever
be made"
There is no country in which this bark
and the chemical preparation Of it, called
quinine are consumed TO 50 great on extent
as in the United States. The British have
a monopoly of the article, they probably
will in the event Of war, prohibit the ex.
portauon Of it 10 this country. During
the last war with France they denounced
this medicine MS liable to seizure, when
found on board neutral vessels, bound TO
any port 10 possession Of NapoIeon's gov
eminent.
Both bark and qunino are exceedingly
scarce in the southern States. In some
places on the Mississippi, quinine sells, we
are told, as high as five dollars an ounce
This enormous price is accounted for by the
letter from which we have given an extract
above.
Fortunately for mankind, and particularly
the poor, whom the extravagantly high
price Of bark and quinine excludes from
their use, substitute has been discovered
as we are informed by an article in the
Union, in the bark Of several varieties o.
the common willow (sallx). This med
cine says the article just referred to, wa:
introduced many years ago under the name
Of Sa!acine, but it has not hitherto been useC
10 such an extent as fully to test its quail
ties. 1t is understood to be the intention
of the medical department Of the army t.
try it on a large scale in some of the mos
unhealthy posts Of the frontier. Shoul<
sdlicine prove to be proper substitute fo
qulnine, the greediness Of John Bull will b,
disappointed Of his Observation-Disclosures

SACRIFICE OF LIFE IN TIE WAR
OF LA NENDFE.

Every one knows something Of this ter
ribe war. 1t continued less than eight
months, but though the whole territory con
tanned few years since only 500 900 in.
habitants, even a French Republican wri
ter makes the sum total of its victims No
less than $4,000 besides all that persisted
on the side OF the Republicans. The state,
ment, even from such a source seems almost
incredible; but there is no end to the havoc
of war. Considerably more than a million
Of men must have been sacrificed in the
war of La Vendee.--Putsburgh Spirit Ct
the Age.
Exactly so: and Of whose procurement,
was this war of La Nendee? who conceiv-
ed it, nursed it, fed and fostered il, furnish.
ed it money, cannon and small arms? THE
ENGLISH GOVERNMENT! And rol
what? TO aid the cause OF legitimacy, and pu'
down republication, IN Europe. This, tc
the British arlstocracy, was of far more i'm
portanCe than million, or any other mum
Der Of lives. Besides, there were hopes or
the part Of tho English government, lha,
this civil war, properly nursed and petted
might end in a division Of France among
the nalons--lhus blotling France from the
map of Europe. This was a iavorite
scheme OF the Pitt ministry, at one time:
American editors when they advert to
points in the French revolution, would do
this nation and the cause of truth, great
service if they would, at the same time
state the agency and interest that were ac
tive in what they nargate; and the notifies
when known, inducing there.o.-There are
few, very few points in that revolution, OF
Of its subsequent wars, upon which lhi.
nation has not been entirely misled, by re-
lating upon the studied perverslons OF tia

WASHINGTON IRVING.

Mr.. Irving is beloved wherever he is
known for his amenity of manners and
kindness of heart, and his reputation might
almost be termed universal. He is not on
~ admired in the gorgeous halls of palaces,
bIt his writings have reached the heart Of
the common soldier in his cabin. We have
heard an anecdote which illustrates the truth
Of the latter part Of this remark. Upon his last
visit to the south Of Spain, Mr.. Irving took
Gibraltar in his way. 1t is one Of the reg
uations Of that military post that no one
shall be admitted within the gates alter a
particular hour in the evening. The vessel
in which Mr.. Irving was a passenger had
dropped anchor in the hUrbor after this hour,
but, being wholly unacquainted with the
above mentioned rule, and anxious TO leave
the narrow limits in which he had been so
long pent up, and tread once more upon
the broad earth, he landed, asked for ad.
mi,tance Of the soldier upon duty. The
sentinel politely but decidedly refused;
wheronPon Mr., Irving handed him his
card, with the request that it might be left
with the proper authorities, so that in the
morning 10 delay might occur in admitting
him. The soldier looked upon the card, and
then raising his hat, "Sr, said he, d" are

THE DEATH BED.

BY THOMAS HOOD.
We watched her breathing through the night,
Her breathing soft and low,
And on her breast the wave OF life
Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently we seemed 10 speak,
So slowly moved about,
As we had lent her half our powers,
To exc her being out.
Our very hopes beied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied;
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came dim and sad,
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyelids closed;- had
Another morn than ours.

A REMARKABLE CAsE.-lt is stated in
late foreign Magazine. that there is now
living in the Isle of France, a man en-
dowed with such remarkable power Of
sight that he perceives vessels several hun
dred miles at sea. He is pensioned by the
British government, and every morning
reports 10 the government house what YES
sells are in the olling, and when they may
be expected, and il is remarkable that he
was never known to fail. When the first
steamer was sent from England, he saw her
at distance of some hundred miles, but
was surprised at observing she had four
masts, one of them smoking. When he
reported this strange appearance mo steam
err being expected, or known to be on its
way) il was supposed he had lost his extra
ordinary power Of vision, but the result
verified his story.

CENTRAL RAILROAD.

We learn from good authority that the a.
mount Of subscriptions TO the stock of the
Central Railroad in Vermont does not exceed
S290.000. There are different reports with
regard to the Boston subscriptiohs.-some
friends of the road asserting that more than
$1,000, 900 are taken. while others with equal
means of information, say The amount does
not exceed S60O.00O. 1t is generally under
stood that the Boston subscriptions are upon
conditions which cannot be complied with. and
that of course they will be invalid. This is be-
lieved to be one OF the reasons why the books
are not opened for the inspection OF the pub
lie. 1t is also said that the conditions Of sub
scription as required by the charter are not
complied wirh.-BelLo,rs Falls Gazette.
