LITERARY.

M Ory has made some researches as 10 the cradle of
the human According tothe book Of Genesis. Eden
was situated in the East" that is according TO the
testimony of the Biblical interpreters with Canet at
their heed 10 the east Of the Semitic possessions and
even beyond Persia NJ. Olry places Eden in the Al
Pine plateau of Pamir situated on the eastern side of
the Belur Tag, snd forming the western extremity of
IAse Bokbars; separated on the south from Thibet,
by the kven-lun and DzonDgarie Mountains and on
the north by the Thian-Chau Mountains This locality
decided upon by essential feature-the presence
Of four rivers issupg from four lakes and flowing in
she direction Of the four cardinal points. Now the
plateau of Panr alone saiisfes these conditions From
its four lakes dow four great ITer. II has on the
esst the Turin, or Iarssnd-ab, which flows out of
Lake Lop on the north, the IaxSrtes iSihoun which
Yises in Lake Aral ON the west, the Oxus which also
rises in Lake Anal; The south, the Kameh, sn alu.
en OF the Indus aud which may be considered as one
efthe Of this great river. The Pison watering
tie land of Hevlah will be the Turin, which bsthes
the shores Of Little BoAnara where found, as
toned in Genesis gold, lapis lszu and onyx stcDe
The Gihon flowing in the land Of Koaeh, will be The
0rus DIihoun), with the Bsctriana; the Hiddakel,
flowing to the east Of the country Of Assnr OF Achour
will be the Indus, with the Cabulstan. NJ. DRY,
agreeing with Bunsen carries the geographical resem
blsnces still further. According 10 him, Adam and
Eve wer driven ont Of the Paradise Of Panir vending
their way to the East through a stony and barren
country they entered the land Of Boor 10 the east Of
Little Bokhara which, in fact, fufs these conditions
The land Of Nod still further east into which Cain
was driven after the death Of Abel, will be the desert
or rather the seppe Of Gob and the City OF Cbanok
which he built still exists under the name Of Gunnak
M Flourens, the eminent Psychologist, announces
that be has repeated the whole Of his former expert
vsen,s upon the respective independence Of the ply so-
,sgcal functions and upon the special operation ofeach
Of the organs of the brain. He has confirmed anew
sls great fact that an animal from which the brain
i, removed leaving the cerebellum oses suddenly and
completely the Of its instructive and Intellectual
functions but retains the integrity Of its functions Of
motion, which remain perfectly in harmony On the
contrary when the eerebeum lie removed. leaving the
brain the animal retains its intellectual functions but
becomes incapable Of governing its motions. In this
philosophers "Nstursl 0ntology or, Philosophical
Study of Beings he strongly repudlstes the philosophy
Of spontaneous generation, which has lately occupied
no much attention in France. He Gays, "Of all errors
apon the formation of beings the most absurd lie spon-
taneous generation. Yet is one OF the most popular
II this theory ia admissible for inferior beings such as
Intestinal worms, infusora poypi, why not for su-
peior beingsl The difficulty becomes an impossbility
In both cases. Can il be imagined that an organized
body of which all the parts are intimately connected,
with an admirably cOntved correlation, 90 full of pro-
found wisdom, lie produced by blind assembiage OF
physicsl elements The organized body must have
derived s existence from the elements of which it was
destitute Then motion might proceed from inertia
senribilty from DseDsibilify, life from death u
A rev work upon the :" Life and Labors OF
William Caxton" is upon the eve Of publication. Its
sntbor. Mr. William Blades, has been sedulousy en-
aaeed for many years in investigating every source
from which may be possible to derive authentic In
formation respecting frat English printer; and the
result an accumulation Of facts respecting Caxton and
his cotemporaries, which have entirely escaped the
notice Of Dbdn and other cleaners In the held OF En-
