Within lew years past some of the pro-
lessors have introduced as an adjunct to their
course, "a short one upon the use of the Mi
croscope in anatomical Investigations. This
is of the greatest Importance, both as a
source Of useful knowledge in Natural His
tory, and as powerful assistant in certain
studies pertaining to diseased organs and
fluids. BY this means the minute structure of
animal membranes and tissues is seen, and by
their notifications from their normal struc-
ture, much light is gained in some Of the most
obscure phenomena in human physiology
There are many parts of the system, whose
intricate structure and special Office are I'M
known, and viii probably remain a mystery
until revealed by comparative observations
made on minute structures; and every pond
furnishes its species of delicate beings. whose
transparency makes them in every way cal
culated to render comparative observations
upon their organs, and those of the higher
animals, a profitable task. In Europe, in the
Eastern cities, and in Cincinnati and Louis
vile, the Medical Societies have procured the
finest Achromatic Microscopes, with which
they make daily observations upon diseased
and healthy tissues, secretions &C., and they
have already made discoveries which prom
Use to lead to the most important results.

in commission is $400, 900 per annum. Mr. Law
will receive yearly for the offour ships with
fifth IN reseTve) $3.50, 900. Whether we consider
this contract in reference to the value the govern
ment receive in having four or FIVE FIRST class war
steamers, whenever they want them, or as COM
pared with the compensation gwen by the British
government for similar service, In tar inferior
sells, the government have evidently the best Of
the bargain. The contract Of the British govern
ment for the conveyance of the West India mails
is 81 100000. Mr.. Law receives for a larger
amount of mileage, $4,000 This compensation
is evidently smal but small as it is, without it,
such vessels as Mr. Laws could not be built by
individual enterprise alone without the patronage
Of government; for they cost much more than
would be necessary for the mere purposes of COM
merce, that they would not pay. They have been
constructed to carry five ten inch guns on either
side, and two twelve inch traversing guns. The
former would throw shot or shell of l2O lbs weight,
ranging from three to four miles. The twelve
inch, Of course. would throw heavier metal, and
command sull longer range.
One Of these steamers is worth dozen of the
small French steamboats,. They can carry large
bodies of troops together, which is grand desl-
deraum; and from the length of the range of their
guns, and great sailing powers, they may go as close
as they please to an enemy's coast, and retreat
again with mpunity. They can keep away from
small craft, and sink them at such distance that
the calibre of the guns of the latter would not be
equal to half the range.
Finally, as naval officers are to be placed on
board these steamers, they will have an opportun-
ty of being trained in the working of the very
sells they may have to command in a future contin-
gency, instead of being found practically unac-
quainted with their business when the day of trial
comes. This, therefore, is another great advan-
tsge. In fact. III every way, the arrangement is
most deslrable and we trust our other merchants
will be stimulated to further progress by the exam
pie Of gentleman who deserves well of his
country for his enterprise and his public spirit.

The Southern mail brings intelligence Of the renewal
Of hostiities towards the whites by the Seminole
indiana rem aiming in Florida.
The Savannah Republican states, information
ceived from various sources that the Indians
mencsd making depredations upon the white settle
ments on Indian River, in St. Lucie county, South
Florida, about the 18th inst. Being considerable in
numbers and well armed, the settlers found 1t i'm
possible to make any effective resistance and sought
safety in fight. The houses plundered and some
of the inhabitants personally attacked man named
Barker killed, and his body horribly mutilated !;
Major VIM +. Russell shot in the arm, and his
family, it is supposed, taken prisoners, as they
have since been missing, together with a number Of
other persons.
The settlers we're obliged to leave their homes and
taking to the river make their way up the coast Some
twenty men, women and children had arrived at San
Augustine, and report others the way.
The commanding officer at San Augustine had des-
patched expresses to Tampa Bay and also to Washing
ton, stating the facts and calling for assistance
The settlers along the frontier had become generally
alarmed removing to the thicker settlements
for safety.
The military post at Tampa Bay being the residence
of the former Indian Agent has given the savages
excuse for visiting the place. thereby coming in
tact with the whites
1t Is stated that the Indians well supplied with
arms, &C., and scattered in small parties through
out the country 1t is to be feared that they will give
serious trouble.
