PHILOSOPHY OF EYEsIGHT.-Prof. William B.
Rogers read paper on our inability to determine
from the retinai impression alone which retna is
impressed. Although at fffst view it might be
supposed that impression made on either eve
must necessarily be accompanied by asraental ref
erenee to the particular organ impressed, he
showed by describing a few simple experiments,
that the impression Of itself cannot enable US to.
determine on which retina it is received. He Illus
tratea this by curious, simple method, which
will describe, as it is so simple and as it will afford
a fund of amusement to everybody that may try
the experiment.
Curious sIbenoale1eG.-Take a sheet of foolseap.
or letter paper roll it up so that the opening at
end shall be large enough to take in the full
size of the eye, and at the other and let the onen-
ing be not half large Take It in the right hand

through it with both eyes open towards the light

your left eye, it will be The sams. Won will in

Let every one who doubts, try it. From the eiteet
of this and other experiments i is eoacluded thai
the mere retinal impression or either retna Is un.
accompanied by any consciousness of the special
surface impressed; snd that the visual perception
belongs TO that part of the optical apparatus neal
or within the brain which belongs in common to
both eyes, The result also shows that the sense
of direction is Just as truly formal to the central
portions of the retina that have received no light
as to that part on which the object has been
, painted This IS in opposition to the law laid
down by Brewster, according 10 which the apra
ratus is always IN the normal TO the paint Of tue

The Paradise Of the North.

The following interesting extract is taken from
the English translation Of the Annals of the Propa-
gauon OF the Faith, published in Paris and in Ly-
ons, and is derived from letter, dated October Q,
1859 and written by NJ. Maisfranex, Catholic mis-
sIonary at Altengaard the former residence Of the
GoyefnorG General of Lapland:
To these religious data, NJ. Maisfraneg adds.
upon the site, climate and vegetation of Alien
gard, observations that are no less recommend
able for their sngliarity than for their truthful
ness. This burg, the central point of the Arctic
Missions is situated in the 10th degree north Iati
tude. in vast plain, bordered on the north by the
sea, wateFed on the east by the river Alten and
bounded on the south by pine forests. It is the
most picturesque locality Of these northern coun.
tries; it forms true oasis amidst the ice and snow
by which its horizon is limited. Hence ii has Of
ten been designated the Paradise of the North as
Well on account Of the beauty of its situation and
the peculiar mildness of its temperature as on ac
count OF an ancient superstition, according to
which Altengaard il considered as the entrance
hall to the Lapland Eiyseum.
Although situated further northward than the
perpetual ice in which Franklin IS supposed TO have
been lost, and in the same degree of latitude as
the magnetic pole in Polar America Aftengaard
generally enjoy. warmer climate than that Of
the chief cities Of Russia and Prussia. Often dur
ing winter, when night prevails without Interrupt

says NJ Maisfranex than at Berlin or Brussels; at
least, so am told by those who have compared
the meteorological observations taken between
those towns and ours. At the present date, 9th of

ARRIVAL OF THE SCHOONER RED FOX


Capt. Kicker of the schooner Red Fox, which
arrived yesterday from Tampico, reports that
the Liberal army had invested the City of Mexico
with an immense army, and all their troops in Tam
pico and the neighboring country, had been sent
out to reinforce them; and it was expected that
they would make an attack on the city on or about
the 10th Of September -...a5. .".....
Miramon was at q small town about twenty miles
from the City Of Mexico, with about 1000 men; +; but
it is the general impression throughout the whole
country that he could not hold out much longer.
The report that was brought here some time since
by the steamship AUSTIN from BraZ0s St. Iago, that
Gen, Zuazua, of the Liberal army, was killed in an
engagement with Miramon, is corroborated at
Tampico. "u&u%
