Alexander the First,

have recently met with a strictly
Russian account of the death of the EN-
lefor Alexander. 1t was written evil
IDENTIFY by one Of lis attendants, and
disseminated through Germany, for the
purpose Of contradicting the opinion
then generally entertained that he had
been poisoned The German publica-
'Ion in which it occurs is very guarded
IN the expression of its sentiments or
this still mysterious subject, and | think
there are some circumstances, even in
tins qnasi>oficial document, Which are
not quite clearly reconcilable with the
theory it intends to support. The i'm
mediate interest of this question has now
passed away, but the diary (Which is
lhe form this writing some lines as
sumes) is so full of the names of places
about which our curiosity is now daily
excited; and the contrast between the
past and the present condition of the
lands in which Alexander made his last
expedition, and ended his dsys, is so
strange; that l have thought a transla-
ton OF the whole description of his jour
ney and death would not be without its
value at time when our eyes are so
aaxiously turned to the Crifnea and the
Sea of Azotf.

General Diebitsch has remarked that
~hen the Emperor was leaving St. Pc
fersburg, he looked at the quays which
ne generally admired so much, with a
dark and sorrowful expression, and even
turned away from them to l,ok at the
eItadei; that he then sank deep in
thought, and even when, at last he broke
the silence, made no observation on the
magnifcence of the view before him.

EXTRAORDINARY SCIENTIFIC DTscov-
ERY.-A discovery has been made in
Paris, by which any metallic poison, such
as lead mercury or arsenic may be ex-
tracted from the system, by the potent
agency of electricity. The modus op-
eraadl is as follows: \ metallic bath is
insulated on glass legs, and partly filed
with acidulated water, to convey more
readily the electrical currents. The pa
ticnt lies upon a seat in the tub insula-
ted entirely from the bath When gold,
silver or mercury is in the system, nitre
OF hydrochlorie acids are imployed =
When lead is suspected, the acid used
is sulphuric. This done, the negative
pole of the battery IS put in connection
with the bath, while the positive pole is
in the hands of the patient Now the
wark of publication commences. The
electricity precipitaics itself, hunts,
digs, searches and discovers every par
ticle of metallic substance concealed in
the most profound tiszuses, bones, nerves
and joints of the patient, resolves them
into their primitive forms, deposits them
upon the side of the bath, where they
can be seen with the naked eye.

THE Poetry OF SrfAM.-There is
something awfulIy g.and in the conteu-
plation of a vast steam engine. Stand
amid its pondsrous beams and bars,
whrels and cylinders, and watch their
unceasing play--how regular and how
powerful. Tie workmansh p Of a lady's
Geneva watch is not more nicely adjust
ed-the rush Of the avalanche is not
more awful in its strength. Old Gothic
cathedrals are solemn places, preaching
solemn things, but 10 him who thinks,
an engine room may preach a more
solemn sson still. 1t will tell him of
mind-mind welding matter at It's will
mind triu'nphing over physical diff
cu!ties-man asserting his great supre-
macy-''intellect battling with the ele
ments." And how exquisitely COM
plete in every detail! How every little
bar and screw fit and work together
Vast as is the machine, let bolt be but
the tenth part of an inch too long or too
short, and the whole fabric is disar-
ranged. 1t is one complete piece Of
harmony-an iron essay upon the unity
of design and execution. There is
deep poetry in the steam ongine-more
of the poetry Of motion than in the bound
Of an antelope-morc of the poetry Of
power than in the dash Of a catlract.-
And it ought to be a lesson to those who
ridieule every new idea, and put no faith
n inventions, to consider that the COM
plex fabric, this triumph of art and sci
ence, was once the laughing .took of
ieering thousands, and once only the
waking fantasy Of boys mind, as he
set, and seemingly in id'eness, watching
a little column of vapor rise f,om the
spout Of a tea-kcttle!
