The Wallace Monument at Stirling.

At meeting of this committee in Stir
ling, last week, after careful inspection of
the numerous designs and models which
had been already forwarded to the secreta-
ry, they came to the resolution of extend
ing the period for receiving designs and
models to the ist of February next. Funds
still continue 10 come in, and those now
available are considerably beyond the sum
Of $4,000. A correspondent of the "Mom-
ing Journal" thus describes some o. the
models :-On one of them the following
description of the design is sRixed: I" No.
design is about 100 feet high, by eighty
dians.er, with ample circular, accomoda-
tion for public promenade inside, lighted
from the roof by thick glass pannels Sc, in
the solid stone ceiling, leading 10 spacious
winding staircase, having access TO the va
rious stages of the monument up TO the top,
where there is an open gallery from which
a magnificent view 81 the country may be
obtained. This design shows the emblem
atical homage Of the thirty three counties
of Scotland, represented by thiriy.three
lachrynal urns or vases, which shadow
forth The national sympathy for, and adora-
iion of the hero, and are at the same time
fitting memorial of their contributions 20 the
cenotaph of Wallace on the Abbey Craig.
At the base Of the model are four recumbent,
but ever watchful, colossal lions, over the
public entrance to The monument, typical of
the four quarters of the globe, Europe, Asia,
Africa and America, as illustrating the con-
sributions of men in all sections Of our hab-
liable sphere. On the apex Of the model is
a massive and energetic figure, about thirty
feet high, of the immortal hero Wallace,
resting on his sturdy double handed sword,
and overlooking the battle field of Stirling.
The statue is designed 10 be Of cast iron, as
also the colossal lion, wreaths, &c and the
body of the structure itself of the native
rock OF the Abbey Craig or from the
quarries of Bannockburu." The same artist
has another design, which is represented as
a massive mural tower, 200 feet high to
the Top of the flag staff, by forty feet square
at the base. There is an ample winding
staircase up to the top, where there is a
gallery, from which may be obtained an
extensive prospect. The other model is of
different style entirely. 1t is circular,
about i6O to 20U fee, high, by 45 feet di-
ameter at the base. There are l2 futted
columns about 60 feet high, supporting a
broad gallery from which visitors will have
a magnificent view of the surrounding
country. The upper portion Of the structure
is after the style Of the dome of St. Peters,
in Rome, or St. Paul's, London. Above the
cupoIa there is another gallery, intended
for visitors obtaining more extensive and
birds eye view of the magnificent scenery
which this sight commands. The most of
lhe other designs are colossal statues, upon
pedestals Of various descriptions one or
two plain and partly ornamental towers !;
and enc design an exact copy Of Sir Walter
SCOT monnmenf at Edinburgh.

The Human Hand.

Issuing from The wrist IN that wonderful
organ, the human hand. ''In a French
book, intended" says Sir Charles Bell, "to
teach young people philosophy, the pupil
asks why the fingers are not oil the same
length? The master makes theschoiar grasp
ball Of ivory, to show him that the points
fine fingers are then equal! 1t would have
been better had he closed the fingers upon
the palm, and then have asked wheter or
not they correspond. This difference
in the length of the fingers serves thou
sand purposes, as in holding rod, aswitch
sword, hammer, pen, pencil, or en-
craving tool; in all of which, secure hold
and freedom OF motion are admirably COM
bined." On The length, strength and per-
feetly free movements of the thumb depends
more over the power Of the human hand,-
To the thumb, indeed has been given
special name ('.polLsr," from Latin verb
meaning to be able, strong, mighty, } be-
cause of its strength-a strength that is
necessary TO the power Of the hand, being
equal to that of all the fingers. Without
the ieshy ball of The thumb, tie power Of
the fingers would be of no avail, and ao.
cordinsly the large ball formed BY the mus
Ges Of the thumb is the special work of
The. human hand, and particularly that Of a
clever workman. The loss of the thumb
almost amounts 10 the loss Of the hand
Conscripts, unwilling TO serve in the army
of France have been known TO disable
themselves efTectually by cutting off the
thumb Of the right sand. The loss of both
thumbs would reduce a man TO the most
miserable dependence. Nor should we over
look another peculiarly. Were the tips
of the fingers and the thumbs bony instead
Of being covered with flesh, many things
we readily do would bs absolutely inpossi-
Die. We now can take up what is small, !
soft and round; as millet seed, or even
particle Of hair. So exquisitely prehensile
are The human fingers. The nails are Of
len of special serFice-perhaps always in
the works of art which require nicely of
execution. Their substance is just what
is decided; they are easily kept at just the
precise length which answers every pur-
poss; had they been placed on the tips of
the fingers, they would have been a loss Of
power, but their position ensures their
highest efficiency. An exchange Of power
for velocity which takes place in the arm
adapts the hand and fingers to a thousand
arts, requiring quick or lively motions. In
setting up the type of this page there have
been movements OH the part of the compos-
itor Of surprising fapidity to an ordinary
observer, and the execution Of performers
on the piano forte, as well as many wind
is often astonishing, these are |
among many instances Of the advantage
gained by this sacrifice of force for velocity

readers have already been informed that Gus
tave P. c. Yenner, recently on trial in San
Francisco, on a charge of killing Louis Guz-
man, was acquitted on Monday evening"
The Bulletin says, in relation to the matter :
The testimony went to show that on Feb
ruary 9Th last. in the night time, Guzman
was near the corner of Battery and Vallejo
streets. In sport he threw pieces of mud at
some Of his friends, some Of which struck
Yenner and man named Miller, a comrade
OF the latter, and. in a short time afterwards
Guzman was stabbed in the back, receiving a
wound which proved fatal. He said that
Miller had stabbed him, and persisted in il
TILL his death but afterwards, when Miller
was in prison, Yenner came forward and said
that it was he who stabbed Guzman; upon
which Miller was released, and has since left
tne State Yenner, in his confession, insisted
mat he had given the deadly blow, in self
geIence; but 1t was claimed by counsel for
the defense that Miller was really the guilty
person. On this state of the proof, the jury
after delibcration of but few minutes, last
evening returned verdict Of not guilty.
