BADGE BETwEEs EsGLASD AND FRANcE.-The
British Academy of Sciences has at present under
consideration plan of a most extraordinary cha
racter, being neither more less than a suspen-
sion bridge between France and England. Mr..
Ferdinand Lematre proposes to establish an gro
static bridge between Calais and Dover. For this
purpose he would construct strong abutments, TO
which the platform would be attached at a distance
of one hundred yards from the coast; and at dis
tances of every hundred yards across the chan
mel, be would sink four barges heavily laden, to
which would be fixed u double iron chain of pecu-
liar construction. A formidable apparatus Of bal
looms, Of elliptical form, and firmly secured,
would support in the air the eXtremities of these
chains, which would be strongly fastened to the
abutments on the shore by other chains. Each sec
ton Of one hundred yards would cost about 10000
franks, which would make eighty four millions for
the whole distance across. These chains, supported
in the air at stated distances, would become the
point Of support Of this fairy bridge, on which the
inventor proposes TO establish an atmospheric rail
way. Theproject has been developed at great length
by the inventor.

The "BITINo" WHALE. Captain Cook, of bark
Parker Cook, gave the following more particular
information to Captain Gamaliel Smith, of schr.
Union, relative to the sperm whale which attacked
his vessel. 1t the 22d Of July, in latitude
49,, longitude sc so. The whale was a very large
one yielding one hundred and three barrels of OIL
When first lanced the whale stove and capszed the
boat with his head, and the line Ca ught the leg of
the boat steerer, John Hoxie, nearly severing the
foot. While in the water, Hoxic took his knife
from his pocket and cut the line. The waist boat
picked up the crew. Finding the whale very
warlike, Captain Cook prepared his bomb lance
and gun, and in the mean time the whale attacked
the bark and struck her on the stem which pene-
trated the head of the whale to the depth Of the
stem. The shock was great that it threw every
one on board upon the deck, and started the false
stem. The whale then went off about half mile
and run upon the vessel second time, but with
less force. Captain Cook then attacked the whale
in his boat, with his bomb lance, and fired three
times within eighty yards, the whale coming at
him each time with his mouth open, and "show
ing fight in the most desperate manner. The
third lance caused him to spout blood, and he died
soon after. When the whale was cut in, Captain
c. bore away for Fayal to land Mr.. Hoxie.

tees OF biting the lips and protruding the tongue
Is this so! Items says he would scorn TO make the
charge-that he adores the ladies, thinks them per-
feet, and that if they did these things it ,could
appear pretty in them; but he nevertheless insists
upon il that his friend, who is gentleman of per-
cepion, dscernment, and taste, condemns these
practices as ungraceful and unbecoming Yet

or innocent will not censurc him for making al
fusion TO the subject and protests himself firm
