The .atheneum (very good authority on the

not the great one which was foretold and that an
opinion is prevalent that, owing to planetary per-

be delayed twelve or eighteen months.
SEPTEMBER 22.-Fhe armistice between Austria
and Sardinia has been prolonged for six weeks
Paris is quiet, but it is said that the Socialists and

Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON for manifestation. RAs-
PAIL, who is elected by 66,SI5 of the Partisan
voters, is prisoner at Vincennes, as one of the
rioters in May. Count MOLE has been returned
for Bordeaux. Terrible outrages have been perpe-
trated at Messina. The Austrians are practising
horrible cruelies upon the citizens of Milan, Bres-
cia, Como, and Pavia. The ratification Of the ar
mistce by the Assembly at Frankfort has caused a
violent outbreak in that city of the democratcal
unions and societies. Barricades have been formed
and serious conflicts have taken place between the
populace and the military. The majority of the
Assembly, who voted for the ratification, have been
denounced as traitors. The troops in Frankfort
are chiefly Austrans Prussans, and Hessians.
The Prussian soldiers are peculiarly unpopular and
are fired upon by the populace from the housetops

LYcHNowsKI and M. Won AUERswALD have been

gents are many of the Republican party from
Mayence, Hanau, Cologne, and neghboring places.
There were more than ten thousand soldiers in
Frankfort on the 18th. News from Cologne of
the 10Th states that the military have obtained a
victory over the insurgent popuace in Frankfort
: Further troops have been sent from Cologne, but
as the peasantry were focking in from all sides to
aid the insurgents, it is impossible TO say at pre-
sent, how matters may end" The Assembly held
sitting on the 18th. The former Ministers had
resumed the direction of affairs until the nomina-
ton Of their successors. The crisis is very i'm
portant one but it is thought that the good faith and
earnestness of the immense majority of the people
and the Assembly are quite adequate to it.
Quietness had been restored in Vienna on the

Muscular Exercise.

Muscular exercise is a direct source Of
pleasure to every one not suffering from dis
eased action. Every one must have felt
this. The effect Of using the muscles of
voluntary motion, when all the processes of
the economy are being Justly and healthily
performed, is to impart marked and CRATE
ful stimulus to the sentient nerves Of the
part, and corresponding and grateful slim
illus to the nervous system generally, sufli-
GENTLY noticeable by the mind when studi-
Gus Of its analysis, and always ministering
indirectly to the happiness of the individual,

the case by some, that it has been asserted,
a man may use his limbs too much to leave
him in the enjoyment Of his fullest cspabili.
ty oGpure and abstract thought, and to the
extent Of making him mduly imaginative.
Although this may well be matter Of doubt.
the fact, and its wise AID benevolent inten-
ton, remain unaffected; that man derives an
immediate pleasurable sensation from using
his voluntary muscles, which not only gives
to labor zest, and even to monotonous
movements some degree Of enjoyment, but
produces reaction on the mind itself, en-
bellishing life of virtuous toll with de,
gree of physical enjoyment, and mental en-.
ergy, buoyancy, and hopeful lighthearted-
ness, that can never be afforded in like
degree to the drones--the mere .fnges con.

Far from ihe world.

Imagine IN immense extent OF country,
many hundred miles broad. and many hun
bred miles long, covered with dense forests,
expanded lakes, broad rivers, and mighty
mountains; and all in a state OF primeval
simplicity, undeiaced by the axe of civilized
men, and untenanted by aught save few
rowing hordes OF red Indians, and myriads
Of wild animals. Imagine, amid this viii.
derness, a number of small squares, each
enclosing halGadozen wooden houses and
about dozen men, and, between each Of
these establishments, space Of forest va
rying from fifty to three hundred miles in
length, and you viii have pretty conec,
idea of the Hudson Bay Company's terrific
ries, and of the number of, and distance be-
tween their forts. The idea, however, may
be still more correctly obtained by irnagn-
ing populous Great Britain converted into q
wilderness and planted in the middle oil
Rupert's Land. The company, in that
case, would build three forts in il, one at
the Lands End, one in Wales, and one in
the Highlands; so that in Britain there
would be but three hamlets, with popula.
ton of some thirty men, half dozen wo.

void Of education, and the former as much

The Roman Rmpire.

This Empire, stretching from the western
extremity of Europe to the Euphrates, from
Britain and part OF Caledonia to Getulia
and the limits OF the Libyan Desert, not
only offered the greatest variety Of form Of
ground, organic productions, and physical
phenomena, but also presented mankind in
every graduation from cultivation 10 barbar-
ism, and from the possession OF ancient
knowledge and long Practised arts, to the
first twilight OF intellectual awakening. Dis
tant expeditions to the North and to the
South, to the Amber Coasts, and (under
ILLUS Gallus and Balbus) to Arabia and
the GaTamantes, were carried out with I'm
equal success. Measurements Of the whole
empire were begun even under Augustus, by
Greek Geometers, Zenodorus and Polycle-
tus; and itineraries and special biographies
were prepared (as had indeed been done
some centuries earlier in the Chinese en-
pire,) for distribution amongst the several
governors of provinces. These were the
first statistical works which Europe produc-
ed. Many extensive procedures were ira

On this curious subject the following pa
per has been translated FOR ms from the
'Lcipsic illustrated Newspaper
In Vorarlberg. the collecting and rearing
Of the large garden snails, which are so in
furious to vegetation, forms peculiar branch
OF agricultural industry. and amounts even
to no inconsiderable trade. Whole caTgoes
Of these snails are sent from Arlberg to the
South Tyrol, where they are consumed as
jainties. The mode Of procedure in col
lecting and feeding them is as follows
In various parts Of Vorarlberg, from the be-
ginning Of June till the middle OF August,
the snails, which, as is we'll known, seek
their nourishment at this season in damp
places, and creep about gardens, hedges,
coppices. and woods, are collected by boys
and girls. and carried to the feeding places,
which are commonly in the neighborhood
Of the dwellings Of the owners. These
snail gardens have usually an extent OF
from one to three hundred square fathoms
of dry garden ground, are quite Invested OF
trees and shrubs, and are surrounded on all
sides by stream Of running water. The
stream, at its exit, is made TO pass through
wooden grating, in order 10 prevent such
Of the snails as happen to fall into the wa
ter from being washed away. The grating
is examined once or twice a-day, generally
morning and evening, and the snails found
there are replaced in the interior Of the gar
den; this is necessary, as they would other
wise collect into too large quantities, ant
would become weak and sickly by remain
ing long in the water. In the interior o
the garden, little heaps Of pine twigs, gen

with wood moss, are placed Oh every tw'

protecting the snaiIs from cold. and especl
ally from the scorching rays Of the sun
When the pine twigs become dry, and los
