Memory-Corner Thompson.

Within the range of their own expe-
rience many readers must have noticed
examples of quick or retentive memory
Frequently, however, these powerful
memories are filled with matters of
questionable value. Of such we may
mention an individual well known in
London as Memory-corner Thomp-
son. who was remarkable for an aston
ishing local memory. In the space of
"a hours, and at two sittings, he drew
from memory correct plan of the
whole parish of ST. James. This plan
contained all the squares, streets, lanes,
courts, passages, markets, churches,
chapefs, houses, and a great number of
other objects, as wells, parapets, stones,
trees, etc., and an exact plan of Carlton
made out also an exact plan of the par
ish of St. Andrew, and he offered to do
the same with that of ST. Giles, St.Paul,
CoVent Garden, st. Clement and New
church. Ii a particular house in any Civ
en- street was mentioned, he would tell
at once what trade was carried on
in it, the position and appearance of
the shop and its contents. In going
through q large hotel completely fur
nished, he was able to retain every
thing and make an inventory from
memory. He possessed a most mechan-
zeal memory; and he could, by reading
a newspaper over night, repeat the
whole Of. it the next morning He
died in February, 1S43, at the age 81
eighty-six. Mr.. Paxton Hood knew a
man in London who could repeat the
whole of Josephus; and William Lyon,
like Thompson, could read the Dails
advertiser over night, and repeat il
word for word the next morning. AS q
| contrast to this on the other hand. we
know an individual who travelled through
considerable extent of country, and
passed through several towns he had
visited before, yet was ignorant of the
fact until informed of it by another
traveller hanabers's Journal.

SIXTEEN sea-lions from the Mexican
coast recently arrived in New York
City. They were captured by an expe-
dition under the direction of the pro
prietors Of the New York Aquarium A
schooner was chartered for the purpose,
under the command of Capt. j. Nullet,
who employed Is Mexicans skilled in
throwing the lasso. The lions were
caught at early dawn, while they were
asleep on the rocks. The work was at
tended with much difficulty and danger,
and the party never caught more than
one in a day. Two of these creatures
are destined for the Brighton Aquarium,
in England, two for the Paris Acclima-
tization Society, and two for Amster-
dam, Holland. The others will remain
in New York, or be sent to the Seaside
Aquarium, at Coney Island, New York.
Among them is a female with cub.
