- PnbIic Walks.

In Austria and France (says Mr.. Slaney)
there is scarcely single town without CON-
modious public walk, shaded by trees, and
furnished with benches. Throughout Swift
zerland the same remark applies. and there
the situation chosen is frequently very pictu-
rescue, and the promenade is kept with that
neatness for which the Swiss are remarkable.
The most beautiful are the Cascinne on the
banks of the Arno, at Florence; the China
walk at Naples, possessing one Of the most
views in the world; the prone
made below the Strado del Pc at Turin
(whence the Alps, clothed in snow, are seen
rising in vast seInicircle to the north and
west;) and the terrace commanding the lakes
and the mountains of Savoy and Chablais,
at Lausanne. But Zurich, Berne, Geneva,
Basic, Milan, Parma, Modena, Lucca. Pa
dua, and other Swiss and Italian towns. have
each their public walks and gardens. Many
of their walks have been formed and dedi.
Gated to the public by the munifcencc Of
and it seems extraordinary that
our wealthy and generous nation, where
is Of value, and leads to power,
should be excelled in these respects even by
those who care little for the people, and
have no part or lot with them.

These natives belonged to tribe to-
tally different from those Of the Milmendu-
IA, whom We mad met with along the shores
of the Coorong, and Were very inferior to
them in physical appearance: their features
were remarkably ugly, with simple sill
ness Of expression, and their figures ex-
tremely slight and attenuated, with the alb
domen of disproportionate size. They
were filthy and wretched in the extreme
all THEN teeth were black and rotten; their
skin dry, and that Of one man presented a
purplish-red colour. They approached our
fire with their arm. crossed over their shoul-
ders; position that they constantly retained
until some grease was given 10 them, which
they commenced eating, rubbing over their
bodies, and dauhing up their hair. One
of them had am old cotton handkerchief
which he kept concealed under his am-pit,
and As they were destitute of clothing, the
oldest man was pu, into blue shirt, which
cfated the greatest possible establishment
amongst his companions; they grew very
NOISY and merry, ate damper and grease,
and constantly touched us with their filthy
shrivelled hands. After the Disgusting oper-
alton of sketching them was over, | was
truly glad to see them return to their women

blance TO their husbands. can seldom be

s}uattilg upon these new pastures. Mr..
Arthur-who had watched with mingled as
constituent and curiosity the distant approach
Of nine horsemen froma direction whence no
European had been observed to proceed be-
Gre--soon made his appearance on horse
back; he received the Governor with great
politeness, and conducted us into one oil
the huts. where he invited us to assist him
in demolishing his supper, which was just
ready We ate heartily of mutton chops
and various fried vegetables the latter be-
ing the produce Of small garden adjoin-
ing the hut, which spoke well for the Ter
tility of the soil and the industry OF OuI
host. Mr.. Arthur, adorned with beard
Of twelve months's growth, and seated in
his rude dwelling, surrounded by his dogs
and tame magpies possessed that feeling OF
freedom and thorough independence which
one can never know in England. The
walls of the hut, the troughs, seats, and va
rious untensils, were entirely formed Of
white coral: this substance, when fresh cut
is soft like salt, and easily hewn into any
shape but on exposure to the air il gradual!

The Art q being Agreeable.

The true art Of being agreeable is to APP
pear well pleased with all the company, and
rather TO seem well entertained with them
than to bring entertainment to them. A
man thus disposed, perhaps, may have not
much learning, nor any wit; but if he has
common sense, and something friendly in
his behaviour, it COnciliates mems minds
more than the brightest parts without this
disposition; and when man Of such turn
comes to old age, he is almost sure to be trea-
ted with respect. 1t is true, indeed, that We
should not dissemble and natter in company:
but man may be very agreeable, strictly
consistent with truth and sincerity. by pru-
dent silence where be cannot concur, and
pleasing assent where he can. Now and
then you NEE. with person so exactly
formed to please, that he will gain upon every
one that hears or beholds him; this disposition
is not merely the gift Of nature. but frequent.
ly the effect of much knowledge Of the
world, and command over the passions.

OF the number of works which have been
printed since the year 1850, there exist no
sufficient data to enable us to form certain
estimate and, 80 far as We know, the Sta
tistical Society have not yet grappled with
the subject. The number of volum es claim
ed to be possessed by the twelve greatest L.
braries Of Europe, is as follows -
The BiLliotheque du Roi, in Paris, ESQ.,
900; Munich, 100000, Of which one-fifth,
at the least, are duplicates Copenhagen,
4OO, 900; St. Petersburg, 100000; Berlin,
100000; Vienna, 100000; the British
Musuem, 10000; Dresden $50, 900; the
Bibiiotheqse de lArsenal. in Paris, 2OO,-
600; BiJliotheque de 81. Gsneriere, in
Paris, 100000; the Brera library, in Mil.
an 10000; Gottingen, 100000. These
are vague numbers, and, be it remembered,
not Of porks, but Of rolumes. We may
assume with certainty that each Of these Ii.
braries contains proportion Of its number,
perhaps one-tenth, which is not to be found
in the other eleven; and We may assume
with equal certainty that a vast number Of
works do not exist in any Of the twelve
which are to be found in the many Libraries
OF Earope below the number Of 200, 900.
lf we take $500, 900 Of works or volumes,
to express the number which have been
printed-and in our opinion this is far be.
low the actual Iuth-ws find that no libra.

barbarous ard warlike times has this noble
river been witness to Fleet after feet OF
gaily decorated war-canoes have passed up

slaughter, reeking with blood, perhaps deep
ly laden with human flesh, and filled with
savage heroes, whose war-shouts and yells
of triumph disturbed the stiffness of the
lovely scenes of nature around them. But
now the picture is changed.
a far different era has dawned upon

intelligent and interesting race; they have
fine minds and good dispositions; and if
