Will open for exhibition in Washington on MosDAr

FOR TWO DAYS ONLY!
A LII the most prominent and rare specimens OF
n NATURAL HIsroRr will be found IN the collec-
ton many Of which have not been heretofore exhib-
tied in the United States.
The science of natural history opens a wide field
for surous investigation. Nature shows itself under
such a diversity Of forms and dispositions in the
brute creation, that close observation Of them is al
ways a matter of instruction and amusement II is
needless to say, that visit to well-auanged mena-
gere is the only opportunity that the greater portion
OF a community enjoy Of beholding the hercer and
more formidable portion Of natures works. Its ad-
vantages are apparent. There, entirely free from
danger, and almost at one view, behold the most
ferocious Monsters terrible to the countries which
they nhabit, together with those more remarkable
for their beauty or singularity Of form.
The exhibition of this Menagerie is rendered in-
tensely interesting by the wonderful and unpara-
leled performances Of Mr.. PIERCE, the great Ma
poeon of the Age, with lions, leopards, grizzly
bears, &c. This great artiste will fonde, caress,
strike various attitudes, and render himself appar-
emily one Of these animals in their den. After
this he assumes command orders each to their respec
tive departments, and finally signalzes himself by
driving an african Lion in karness.

lshment.

POLISH NsuRREcTioN.-A letter from Cracov
states that the 2sth Of March, the director of the
police issued proclamation, by order Of the Field
Marshal Count Castiglione, by which all strangers
living in the city, or in the territory Of Cracow,
whose passports are not in order, or who have not
special permission from the police are ordered to
quit within fifteen days, otherwise they will be COM
PEELED to do so by force.
Accounts from Galicia state that the peasants, far
from obeying the order TO retire to their homes
have attacked the Austrian troops at various places
and are commanded by men Of great military
tactics.
The number Of troops in Galicia does not exceed
30 900 men II is said that there is an -feeing be-
tween the Russian and Austrian officers.
The correspondent of the Deutsche Allgemeipe
Zeitung has been obliged to quit Cracow, owing to
the proclamation Of G. Castglione, regarding
strangers in general. At Warsaw, on the 18th ut.,
two Poles paid their devotion to their country with
their lives. On the same day, M. de Theis, the

An Outrage Conss...,Esaased.

The Senate, yesterday morning, finally con-
summated Jhe outrage upon the people OF the
counties Of Columbjana and Trumball, by pass
ing the bill erecting the new county Of Mahon-
ing. Never was there more palpable disregard
Of the expressed wishes Of the people, exhibited
by any representative body, than is manifest in
this act.
That the people Of the State may know the
facts, with the knowledge Of which this Lcgisla-
turo has pcrpetrated this fragrant outrage, We
here give the number pctjtioning for, and re-
monsrating against the erection Of the new
county in question From The counties Of CO.
lumblana and Fumbull, (out Of which two coun-
lies alone, the territory which has been made TO
form the new county Of Mahoninr was taken,)
there were one thousand $epea hundred and .jF-
tn petitioners for, and FOUR THOUSAND TWO HUN
DRIED AND NINETY FIVE demonstrators against,
the measure; leaving a majority Of tro thousand
four hundred and .fortyJGOe against it.
Wthn the limits oithe proposed new county,
ten hundrcd aud .jyty pclitioned for, and sjateen
hundred demonstrated against it leaving ma
Iiorry Of $iG huadred against The now county,thus
Showing The feelings and wishes Of the people
whose interests are TO be Immediately affected by
the formation Of Mahoning county. True il is,
that the WCl hhpWn WISHES 0i lhc PcOpIe arc ulS-
r, gaded, and their rights tratnded under foot
by tins Legislature,
The bill was read thifd time and passed, du=

without unanimous consent The Senator from
Columblano Mr.. Martin protested against hs
unprecedented haste, and stood up TOR the rights
and Interests of his constituents; bat all would

The bill appeared to be under Tie special care
Of Coumbs. a happy choice; he, above all 9TH
ers, was best fucd TO be the leader such piece
| Of inquity.
Nlessls. Croft and O'Forrall were absent We
are informed that, had they been present, the
bill would have been lost. But the friends OF
