The ART OF FLYING.-A French
| journal has a letter from Madrid,
giving an account of a successful ex-
pertinent with a new apparatus for
flying. The flyer was Miss Juani-
ia Perez, who, though rather fat and
corpulent, moved through the air,
by the help OF wings, with great ease
and rapidity. She was advertised to
fly a distance Of above 1900 feet,
rising in the air above 600, but ex-
ceeded the programme both 10 height
and distance. No description of the
structure Of the wings is given
They have a spread Of some fifteen
feet, are fastened by ligaments Of
great aexibility, and arranged so as
TO move with great rapidity; they
make noise like a windmill. The
astonishment of Madrid at so novel
phenomena is described as i'm
mense
A Mr.. Thomas Darville, at Paris,
also announces that he has invented
a complete apparatus for flying, and
that he proposes to exhibit it at the
Champ de Maris in the course OF the
present month, when he will fly from
the military School TO Challiot. He
will be accompanied BY his two sons,
one OF twenty-five and the other OF
seventeen years. The preparation
OG three sets of wings has delayed The
exhibition until now. The inventor
has tried his apparatus privately,
with complete success, having flown
across the Seine with it at | O'Clock
in the morning. His wings have a
spread Of fifteen feet, and by their
help the flyer can move up and down
in the air with all the facility OF
swallow, skimming along near the
ground, or mounting upright to the
sky at his pleasure.--Nel0 York Tri-
bune.

The REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA.-A native
of the West Indies thus writes:
Can we not endorse the words of the
British Review, and say: "The Ameri-
cans are successfully planting free ne
groes on the coast of Africa; a greater
event, probably, in its consequences,
than any that has occurred since Colum-
bus set sail for the New World" After
warm eulogium upon the republic of
Liberia, he adds, "The West Indians
will emigrate TO Liberia. They will
crowd your steamers. They will take
with them intelligence, wealth, and a
perfect knowledge at once of the agri-
culture of the country. They will
cIothe the hillside and the vale with
fields upon fields Of the sugar cane. a
plant Indigenous to Africa, and where it
grows most luxuriantIy." He describes
the various burdens and vexations still
imposed upon the African in the West
Indies, and remarks that thousands of
families are signing for the vastly supe-
rior privileges of the young republic Of
Western Africa.

IMpoRrANr SURGIcAL OpEnATIoNs

IMPORTANT SURGICAL OPERATIONS.
The Covington Journal of re-
cent date, contains a communication
from DIR. Stevenson, OF that place,
who witnessed two of DIR. r. s.
Newton's operations for the cure OF
cancer-in both of which he was
successful. Both cases were seated
in the mammary glands, each inYol-
viug one entire breast, and one the
axilIary gland also. The Doctor has
operated in numerous cases with the
most perfect success, and now ranks
as one of the most prominent sur
geons Of the West. Both cases
were under the influence of chloro-
form, which had a most admirable
effecl-the patients remaining free
from pain during the operation,
which did not occupy more than
twelve minutes in either case. The
first operation was performed on a
lady residing in Kentucky. and the
latter on a Mrs. Garrahrd, residing
on Vine street Hill. We witnessed
the last operation, and can bear testi-
mony to DIR. Newton's skill and sue
cess. The lady is now doing well.
and we may add, that we never saw
or heared OF a worse case.

From the Louisville Journal.



Cease. cease, my heart, Thy throbbings-
Bid anguish wither there,
Nor let the world be smiling
And thou in bleak despair.
Oh why thus long for feelings
Which warmed in early years
For young loves starry meetings,
And boyhoOd's idle tears.
Could all thy mourning bring thee
Pond friendships whispered word,
Or fling again youths visions
Der memory's wasted chord,
sTwere sweet then to be lonely,
But grief can never bring
Aught that in youth was cherished,
Nor love, nor life, nor spring.
Then mourn, my heart-'tis sweeter
Than smiles that tears be thine,
For what are they when friendships
In turn refuse 10 shine.
Oh that some dream of brightness,
Some hope would bliss impart,
And as a spirit linger
Auear thee, mournful heart.

BURNING OF THE STEAMER SARAH
The following particulars are
given of the burning Of the steam
:owboat Sarah, in the harbor OF Rio

On the Sth Of June, the steam tow
boat Sarah, owned By the highly re-

Alvaringe, ship chambers, while in
the act OF taking stores to schoon-

miles out Of the harbor, bound to the
coast Of Africa, supposed on a ira
ding voyage, and owned by one Ro-
mes, a notorious slave trader, was
seized by the commander of the Brit
ish steamer Cormorant, who ordered
her crew to be imprisoned on board
his vessel, and the vessel TO be blown
up, which was promptly executed.
Messrs. Hobbs and Alvaringe, rep
resented the matter to the American
Minister, and assured his excellency
that their towboat was engaged in
no avocation but what was strictly
legal and in accordance with the
maritime laws of the country. The
American sloop-oEwar Dale. Com
mander Pearson, lay in the harbor,
afording the United States Minister
ample power to arrest the Cormo-
rants crew, and blow that vessel up;

Coal the Cause of EngIand's Greatness
The FIXTURE Greatness of the United

Coal the Cause of EngIaud's Greatness
The FIXTURE Greatness of the Unhted
STATES.
During a brief sojourn of that eminent
geoligist, Hugh Miller, in England. he
critically examined the carboniferous
districts, especially the coal fields of
central England, to which she has for
many Years owed her fourishing trade.
Its area he remarks, scarcely equals that
of one of the Scottish lakes thirty
miles long, and eight broad; "yet how
many steam engines has it set in mo-
ton? How many railway trains has it
propelled, and how many millions of
tons ofiron has it raised to the surface,
smeIted and hammered 1t has made
Birmingham a great city-the first iron
depot of Europe" Sand if one small
field has done so much" he saws,
''what may we expect from the vast ba-
sins laid down by Lyel in the Geologi-
cal map of the United States? When
glancing over the three hugh coal fields
of the United Stetes, each surrounded
with its ring of the old red limestone, |
called to mind the prophecy of Berke-
ley, and though l could a; length see
what he could not, the scheme Of its full
filIment. He saw Persia resigning the
sceptre to Macedonia, Greece TO Rome,
and Rome to Western Europe, which
abuts on the Atlantic. When America
was covered with forests, he anticipated
an age when that country would occupy
as prominent place among the nations
as had been occupied by Assyria and
Rome. Its enormous coal fields, some
ofthem equal in extent to all England,
seem destined to form no mean element
in its greatness. If a patch containing
a few square miles has done so much
for central Englnd, what may not fields
containing many hundred squar e
leagues, do for the United States"
"Westward the course of empire
takes its way"

THE DIFFERENcE.-When people
cross the Isthmus, on their way to
California, they are able TO hire
mules and ride; when they return
home, they find it more convenient
to cross on foot. Hundreds. yes
thousands, who on their first visit to
Panama, on their way to the Land
of Gold, grumbled loudly at the ia
tigue of mule ride rom Gorgona or
Cruces, here. but on their return
there is no grumbling at being obi
ged to walk-they would fly if they
had wingsl Such is the result Of dis
appointed hopesl Such is the love OF
homel "Such is human naiurl"

AN APPETITE.-A very eccentric
man, whose appetite has no equal, !
think, in the world, is now in Paris.
His name is Thomas Ohe Bear and
thus called for his visiting daily sew
eral restaurants Of Paris, where he
is fed with all the remains oi the pro-
ceeding day which are not sold. A
few days ago, an American gentle
man who had met him at Bercy, in
a tavern, made 4 bet with one Of his
friends that he would furnish the
"Bear," Thomas, sixteen pounds oi
veal, a salad for sixteen persons, a
loaf Of bread (weighing six pounds
and ten bottles of wine. The BET
was excepted, and the dinner swal-
lowed by this ogre of the nineteenth
century, who, on the same day, ale
for his supper fourteen pounds oI
od-fiish, basket of twenty pounds
of Strawberries, and six pounds OF
bread. Decidedly, Thomas the Pole,
has a stomach beyond that Of an os-
trich.

NAPoLEoN's CoAT OF MAIL.-Just
before Napoleon set out for Belgium,
he sent for the cleverest artisan OF
his class in Paris, and demanded Of
him whether he would engage 10
make a coat Of mail to be worn un-
der the ordinary military dress,
which shall be absolutely bullet
proof, and that If so, he might name
his own price for such a work. The
man engaged to make the desired
object, if allowed proper time, and
he named eighteen thousand francs
as the price Of it. The bargain was
concluded, and in due time the work
was produced. and the artisan hon.
ored with a second audience of the
Emperor. "Now," said his Imperial
Majesty, "put it on" The man did
so. GAS | am to stake my life on its
efficacy, yon will, ! suppose, have
no objections TO do the same" And
he took a brace of pistols, and pre-
pared TO discharge one OF them at
the breast oi the astonished artist. -
There was no retreating, however,
and half dead with fear he stood the
fire, and to the infinite credit OF his
work. with perfect impunity. But
the Emperor was not content with
one trial. He fired the second pistol
at the back of the artist, and after
wards discharged ii fowlidg-pi at
an other part OF him, with similar
effect. "Well," said the Emperor,
"you have produced capital work
undoubtedly. Wha: is the price OF
it?" Eighteen thousand francs were
named as the agreed sum. "There is
an order for them" said the Empe-
ror, sand here is another for an equal
sum, for the fright ! have given you"
