New YORK has the honor OF claiming to be
the birth place Of BAYARD TAYLOR, the great
est traveller and the most scion ific man, ex-
cspt Baron HUMBOLDT, Of modern times. For
the honor of the ancient and honorable guild
Of newspapers, We acknowledge with pride
and satisfaction that this great philosopher
is graduate Of prin office. Having u
soul above types, he soon became wearied OF
playing the dewitt In limited sphere, and be.

thereby, would have redounded somewhat TO

without knowing much Of the interior. Thus
BAYARD TAYLOR, it Is said, saw the outside
of Japan. At long distance, through one OF
the best ships glasses in the American service,
and such was the enormous magnifying power
Of this instrument, that upon his return home
he was able to describe the interior of the
whole country, and the manners and customs
Of the people, in several lectures, with the
greatest minuteness. His latest aud grandest
discovery, however, was BARON HUMBOLDT,
who, with the noble simplicity Of true great
ness. and that complete accessibility which
always characterizcs natures nobility, per-
mittsd himself 70 be approached and inspected
by curious travellers Of every cline. BAYARD
TAILOR, among others, was admitted to be-
hold this Intellectual giant, and even 10 have
u few words dropped down to him from the
clouds above. The giant said "good morn
ing" and did not seem disturbed BY BAYARDs
presence, but, ON the contrary, looked as calm
and serene as il he saw nothing. Indeed,
HUMBOLDT. at this memorable interview, was
so placid and polite, that the little dwarf, his
visitor, inferred from it the most unmistaka-
BILE evidence Of good feeling aud fellowship,
and straightway betook himself to his pen, and
hurried or to America q sketch. In which the

and BAYARD TAYLOR and, in which the world
