Os all the celebrated wondeis which adorn j
this capital, none are more worthy of attention
and combine more beauty with real utility than I
the far famed Jardin des Plantes. Agreeably
to your request, 1 proceed u> give a cursory ac
count of it, for a minute one could only be done
with a statistical account of bird and beast.—
The name would lead one to suppose that it
was merely a large garden, as it indeed tmpo«’.
remarkable for the taste displayed in the ar
rangement and great variety of trees, shrubs,
and flowets that adorn it. The botanist who
regards this portion only will tell yon so. The
comparative anatomist will however show you
its cabinets devoted to his favorite department,
rich in the dry bones of this and past ages; in
skulls and skeletons ol ail animals, and men of
all nations. The geologist will expatiate with
rapture on the collections el stones arranged in
glass cases under glittering walls, which have
not the least interest perhaps to you. The little
child will point you to the big elephant and the
roaring tigers. In short, every taste finds grati
fication here, and it is now my task to present
such a camera obscura view, as you can ob
tain from a distance, with as little dullness as
possible.
Such a collection, various, rare and beautiful
objects cannot be the work of a day ; in fact tor
ages, since 1635, the world ha* been constantly
contributing to make these cabinets perfect. In
that year, at the solicitation of Herouard and
Guy de la Brosse, the physicians of Louie XIII,
this monarch founded this garden. In 1739 ihe
immortal Buffon was appointed superintendent,
who devoted himself with great energy to the ad
vancement of its prosperity, till his death in
1788. The list ot others of Interior reputation,
but who by their xeal have aided in its advapce
m*t, is too long tor this communication. The
revolutionary spirit which lavaged almost all
of tha universities and public institutions, tor
various reasons respected this and passed it by
untouched. It suffered however very much
from neglect and deteriorated from the want of
funds. Bonaparte, with the same zeal with
which be gave himself to the embellishment of
the city in general and enhancing the beauty ot
its numerous galleries, and public places,
strove to repair the faults of the Reign of Ter
ror, and by the fruits of conquest filled it with
most valuable objects. At his fall some ot
these were returned, but many being retained,
the garden on the whole was muchjtbe gainer.
The magnificent cabinet ol the Siadtholder was
claimed, but its equivalent in duplicates only
• was returned. Several valuable jewels were
reclaimed by the Pone, and books and objects
of natural history returned to individuals, who
were the original owners. The institution now
flourishes with unaccustomed vigor. It is a
favorite object of government, and large sums
are annually devoted to increasing and beauti
fying its cabinets and paying for the support of
the numerous professors of rations sciences at
tached to it. Numerous courses of lectures are
delivered! between the months ot April and
October to which all have free admission.
The garden is situated in the extreme eastern
part of the city on the banks of the Seine, sepa
rated from the riv er byjthe Quai Bernard. It
is in close proximity to the immense hospice
or alms-house la Salpetrierk spoken of in an
other letter. Several entrances;give inlet from
different directions to the student, the laborer,
the curious, and the lover of pleasure. Its spa
cious walks are always thronged. Its ditierent
portions are formed intojjdivisions and appro
priated to particular purposes. On the right is
the menagerie, and on the left specimens ot no
ble forest trees. Before are the beds for small
plants and the nurseries which contain thedifle
rent varieties of medicinal, perennial, exotic
and indigenous plants, shoots and flowers. A
portion of this isjseparated from what is called
the “school of botany," to which is attached a
small green-house. Near this is a green-house
of large extent, built ot east iron and warmed by
steam. Ils high walls are lofty enough to con
tain the largest tropical plants, of which there
is a great variety. Every tree and plant within
the conservatories and in the open sir have ei
ther the name attached to it, or a number, so
I bat lhe curious can easily learn the character
ot every specimen. A tnong the most rernarka
bleof the contents of the garden is a cedar of
Lebanon, which was presented in 1731 by Col
linson, an Englishman. It is now 11 It. in <ir
•□inference at the base; also two Sicilian
palms, -25 feet]in height, which were given to
Louis XIV. The total nttmber of plants ir
13,000.
The Menagerie attracts] the most attend n,
bat it has suffered much from the prevalence of
cold during lhe last winter, and many of the
animals have died. The first public menagerie
was toriued at Versailles by Louis XIV, at the
instigation ot the Academy of Sciences, which
increased in value till the revolution, when
many of the animals were starved to death. In
1794 the remnant were removed to this place.—
Since the present reign this portion ot the garden
has been greatly extended, "and constant addi
tions are being made. It now forms a most
picturesque appearance. The ground is divided
by winding walks and light iences into inclo
sures, in which are the lame animals such as
various kinds ot deer, the American bison,
sheep, g-nts, zebras, camels, &c. These parks
=r—rr~ — -ys-nL-.-alhiatina exercise
and pasturage upon the green grass that carpets
them. The animals are generally in pairs, and
atthis season their young offspring are often
gamboling with them. In others are specimens
ot the ostrich from South America and Africa,
whose fine plumage resembles more the feathers
in the ladies' hats thankhose on the meagre birds
seen in our travelling menageries. In a still
larger enclosure, in the form of j circle with a
pond in the centre, are the tropical and aquatic
birds, whose shrill cries remind one ot the de
scriptions of Robinson Crusoe. Here are lhe
graceful swans, many varieties ot ducks and
geese, and the fish eating birds of the warin lati
tudes. The empire of this enclosure has many
claimants. The vain bird of paradise spreads
out its broad title, whenever he can find any
one to pay him attention; the strutting turkey
eoek thinks his pretensions indisputable; and
the valiant little nanism dares any one to doubt
his superior claims. In spacions cages, sepa
rated from the walk by an iron fence, which
keeps the multitude from approaching within a
distance of 4 feet, are confined lions, hyenas,
leopards, anacondasot monstrous length, lizards
and others. The voleric contains vultures,
eagles, buzzards, halvks, and numerous varieties
of this tribe, singing birds and others of the gay
plumage ot foreign climes. A crowd is always
collected round the large space in which are kept
the monkeys. The whole is covered with a
wire roof, which keeps them from escaping, and
in this spacious cage, almost free from restraint,
they gambol, running from “ pillar to pest,"
now mounting to the summit, and a mo
ment after sliding to the bottom by means of a
pendant rope; and thus they sport day after day,
screaming and quarreling without wearying ei
ther themselves or the delighted spectators, who
stand for hours together under the rays of a
broiling sun in this unsheltered place. The
“embryo man” is a decided and universal favo
rite among the Parisians, who have doubtless
been recently more gratified with the reported
discovery ot anew family of monkeys, than it
it had been another planet, or the northwest
passage. In a building denominated from its
shape the Rotunda, are confined a great many
kinds ofthe more bulky animals, among which
the lotty giraffe and the ponderous elephant
are most conspicuous. Both theseareextreine
ly tame, and receive liberal donations ol bread,
with which the visiters are generally well sup
plied. In the company ot the largest elephant
are two tapers, who share with her the muddy
pond in the centre ot the ground. The king is
desirous ot adding the American Indians, now
nexhibition here by Mr. Catlin, to this exhibi
lion; but the price is probably too high. The
large Siberian and American bears are in sunk
en courts with cells, and afford much amuse
ment to the public in climbing the dead tree,
—F*«cedjn the middle, catching the bread thrown
to them, anti playing wiffi oneaiiMher. Com
prehensive as the menagerie is at present,
additional room has been appropriated for its
extension, and it will soon comprise a specimen
of almost every rare creature in the world.—
Sea captainsand travellers make treqnent con
tributions, and it received ample accessions
from the gifts of foreign princes and the muniti
cenceottne government.
In connection with the living animals we
■ must not forget the dead, which are still more
numerous, and form a Cabinet of Zoology, the
most complete perhaps in the world, reckoning
150,000 specimens. The edifice appropriated
to it is simple in its construction, three stories
in height, and three hundred and ninety feet in
length. At every step I perceive memorials ol
lhe renowned Baron Cuvier, according to
whose system, the splendid contents are arrang
ed. The collection of mammalia, representing
five hundred species, is upwards of fifteen hun
dred in number. This receives constant audi
tions from the death of members of the menage
rie, as well as contributions Irom abroad. So
perfectly are the animals preserved that their ap
pearance is equally fine with the live ones in
the adjoining yard. The collection of birds,
numbering over six thousand, is a sight that
gratifies universally’. Independently of any sci
entific view, their rich gaudy colors have a
charm, which the most uneducated can appre
ciate. There they sit, day after day, a row of
black, a row of blue, or any other color; their
sleepless glass eyes always open and brilliant;
their limbs never weary, though standing inces
santly on one leg by the month together. From
the ceiling are suspended turtles ot every de
scription, from individuals that weigh seven or
eight hundred pounds, to the minutest samples
which squat on planks floating on the sides ot
any of our muddy ponds. Lizards of every
hue, frogs, professors of the art of natation, and
snakes, whose method of progression, more
wonderful than the locomotive, puzzled the wise
Solomon to discover, are congregated here in
infinite variety. Alcohol, which destroys the
living man, preserves the defanet animals, to
whieh use it is properly applied. The depart
ment of fishes comprises duplicate speeimens of
twenty-five hundred species. Os the smaller,
one is preserved in spirits, and the other dried.
Twenty-five thousand specimenseomposethe
cabinet of articulated animals without vertebra?,
and very numerous samples form that of the in
artieulated animals. These two classes com
prise all ths insects and shells; among them are
the uarietits of tfee nautilus tridaehna, also ths
cowls and apqnga.
Tl e whole collection is in the most perfect
condition, enclosed in glass cases, and arranged
in systematic order, so that one can distinctly
u-<_e the progressive grades in animated nature.
Beginning with the sponge, the lowest order of
animal organization, and proceeding from one
specimen to another, link by link, we see the
great chain of nature running through the mon
key, balioon, Holentot, African, Asian, Ameri
can I idian, and ending in the European, the
noblest specimen of man. Does the chain stop
there? On the contrary, must we not believe,
with the Bible and Locke, mat it traverses the
shining order beings, rank above
rank, through the seraphic host up to the Di
vinity himself!
Ti e Cabinet of Comparative Anatomy is
one ofthe most interesting, and, like the former,
is infinitely indebted ro the incessant exertions
of Cuvier. The edifice which contains it, is of
older construction than the others. At the great
door ol entrance are deposited two immense
jaw bones ol a whale. Many other specimens
may be seen within, including the skeleton of a
sea cow, brought by Capt. Parry from the
North Pole. Skeletons ot the human species
from almost every nation in the world allow
comparisons to be instituted between the varie
ties ot the human animal; among the most cu
rious of which is the Bebe, the celebrated Polish
dwarf, who lived to the age of 80 years. The
valiant Gen. Tom Thumb, beatshim, I bear,
in littleness.
There are various anatomical preparations of
muscles, brains, eyes, viscera, &c. ot animals,
disposed in such order as makes comparison
easy. An extensive collection of casts of the
heads ot many distinguished individuals pos
sesses a rare interest to the craniologist. This
cabinet is the richest in existence, and deserves
a particular description, without which nothing
but a very feeble idea indeed can be imparted;
but this is not the place for so minute an ac
count, as would be necessary to make a sketch
useful or even intelligible.
My letters lately, 1 perceive, are tending to
excessive length. This propensity must, ifpos
sible, be checked. I shall therefore nip off the
runners, as the vin-.lressers do, when I can, and
now give you an earnest ot my sincerity by
postponing to lhe next letter what remains to be
said on the Jardin des Plants. A. K. G.
From the New York Tribune.
Steamship Great Britain.
The following paiticulars respecting this
Steamship will, no doubt, be read with interest:
The peculiar features of this great work,
which invest the Great Britain with unusual in
terest, are—lst, her extraordinary magnitude;
Sd, lhe material used, iron being employed to a
greater extent than in any other ship; 3d, the
peculiarities of term which have been adopted,
and the qualities they confer on her as regards
speed and seaworthiness; 4lh, the construction
of the engines and boilers and other machinery
for motive power; s;h, the employment ol lhe
screw propeller; 6th, the use of a peculiar me
chanism, by which the power ot the engine is
applied to turn round the screw.
The length ot the keel is 289 feet—total length,
332 feet.
Beam 51 leet—depth 32 feet 6 inches—feet of
water when loaded, 16 feel.
Displacement, 2984 tons—tonnage by old
measurement, 3443 tons.
Plates of keel nearly 1 inch thick—plates ot
bottom varying to three-quarters ol an inch at
extremes, and to five-eighths generally.
Topsides half an inch and al the extremejaft
7-16th.
The ribs are framed ot angle iron 6incb.es by
3t inches, halt-inch thick, and 7-16th—distance
of ribs from centre to centre, amidships, 14
inches, increasing to 21 inches at the ends.
The iron sleepers run trout the engine room,
gradually diminishingin numberto lhefore-end
ofthe ship and under the boilers, the pisiform
of which they support—in midships they are 3
teet 3 inches in depth, supported by angle irons
in the Irom of inverted arches, and a short dis
tance from each other.
She has five water-tight partitions—stows
1200 tons of coal—looo tuns of measurement--
the engines weigh 340 tons—the boilers 200
tons and hold 200 tons of water.
The main shaft is 28 inches in diameter in
the centre, and 24 inches in the bearings, in the
rough, belore turned, it weighed 16 tons. It has
been lightened by a hole of 10 inches diameter,
bored through. A stream of cold water passes
through the cranks and this hole when the en
gines are at work. The screw shaft is tn one
long and two short or coupling parts. The part
next lhe engine, solid, 28 feet by 10 inebesdia
meter. The hollow intermediate shaft 65 feet
hy 2 feet 8 inches diameter. The screw pan is
25 feet 6 inches, and also 16 inches diameter.
The total length is 130 feet, and it weighs alto
gether 38 tons. The screw is of six arms, 15
feet 6 inches diameter, 25 leet pitch, and weighs
four tons—the main drum is 18 feet diameter,
and drives four chains, weighing seven tons;
the screw shaft drum is six teet diameter, and
the weight with the pull when working is equal
to 85 lons on the bearings td the main shaft.
The cylinders are four in number, 88 inches
each; stroke, six feet; power, 1000 horses; lhe
condensers are of wrought iron, 12 feet, by 8
and 5 deep.
Four separate steam-engines drive round the
axle ot this monstrous whee l , two at one end of
TM arif, two at lite utiKi, LUU i. tm. i
The cylinders are placed apart at the bottom of
the vessel, and the pistern rods, which issue out
of them, converge to the ends of the cranks of
this wheel. Each pair of engines works one
crank, and the two cranks are placed at right
angles; but the chain is the extraordinary thing:
there are grooves on the wheel—at the end of
each link of this huge chain there are teeth pro
jecting into these grooves, so that, asthe wheel
revolves, lhe chain is compelled to revolve with
it. At the bottom of the vessel, immediately
below the great wheel, lies a little wheel or pin
ion, having grooves evt in its circumference of
the same size, and at the same distance from
each other, though much less in number than
those cf the large wheel. The same chain
passes round both wheels, and while the large
wheel revolves by the power of the engines
once, the small ones revolves as much oftener
asi)t is smaller. The small wheel has for its
axis the axis ot the Archimedes screw, which is
attached to the alter end ot the axis, and pro
trudes through an aperture in the stern into the
water.
Under the whole space of the engines, upto
the top, the angle iions are doubled—the upper
main and saloon decks are of wood, two cargo
decks are ot iron. The officers and seamen are
all accommodated on two decks under the lore
casle.
From the ship’s bottom to lhe upperdeckruns,
on either side, for the whole length of the en
gines and boiler space, a strong iron partition,
forming below the coal bunkers; and above,
lhe servants’accommodations on one side, en
gineers’cabins and stokers’ accommodations on
ihe other, besides twenty-six water closets.
She has six masts, fitted with iron rigging,
adopted in consequence ot its ottering two-thirds
less resistance than hemp—a great point going
head to wind. The plain sails of a fifty-two
gun frigate, that is without counting royals,
staysails and steering sails, number something
short of 5000 yards of canvass, and the plain
sails of the Great Britain amount to 4943 yards.
She carries lour large lite-boats of iron, and tw o
boats ot wood in lhe davits, and one large life
boat on deck; they are built according to a pa
tent taken out by Mr. Guppy, and are capable
ot carrying4oo people. A short time ago het
life-boats were tested. One of them was low
ered in the water, the valves in the bottom be
ing so arranged as to give tree ingress and
egress to the water. To till her more rapidly
a number of sailors were sent into her with
buckets, and she was soon filled upto that height
at which the water flowed out as fast as it was
bailed in. About thirty men were then sent
into her to stand on the thwarts, vvbfll from the
height she still floated out of the water, it was
evident that she could, when full ol water, sus
tain from fifty to sixty persons without the pos
sibility of her sinking.
The Great Britain has 26 state rooms with
one bed each, and 113 with two, so that in addi
tion to her crew, officers, firemen, &c., she can
accommodate 252 passengers, each of whom
can be provided with a single bed, and that with
out making up a single sofa, or any other tem
porary convenience.
The walls cl the after or principal promenade
saloon are painted in delicate tints, and along
the sides are several fixed chairs ot oak. A row
ol well proportioned pillars which range down
the centre of the promenade, serve the double
purpose of ornament to the room and support
to the deck, in this saloon, on either side is a
range of exceedingly comfortable state rooms
and sleeping berths. About twelve of these on
each side of lhe deck will be reserved for ladies,
as they are made to communicate with two
commodious ladies’boudoirs, or private sitting
rooms, measuring 17 feet by 14 leet. The frame’-
work of the stair-cases, communicating from
this saloon with the deck, isof iron. The stairs
are far more wideand commodious than is gene
rally met with on ship-board. From this pro
menade you descend into the main or dining
saloon, which is 98 feet 6 inches long, by 30 feet
wide. Down the centre are twelve principal
columns of white and gold with ornamental
capitals of great beauty. Twelve similar co
lumns also range down the walls on either side.
Between these latter and the entrance to the
sleeping-berths are on each side of the deck,
eight pilasters, in the Arabesque style, (of which
character the saloon generally partakes,) beau
tifully painted with oriental birds and flowers.
On either side are seven doors, which open into
as many passages, each of which communicate
with four bed-rooms. Thearchwavsoflheseve
ral doors tastefully earved and gilded, and sur
mounted with neat medallion heads. Some
looking glasses are so arranged as to reflect the
saloon lengthwise at two opposite aides, from
whieh a very pleasing illusion is produced
The walls ot this apartment are ot a delicate
lemon-tinted drab hue, relieved with blue, white
and gold. At the steta end are a number of
sofas, whieh range one above the other, nearly
up to the stern-lights. At the opposite extremi
ty is a large room for the steward’s use. The
saloon is fitted up with rows of dining tables, ol
sufficient capacity to admit of 360 persons sit
ting down to dinner at one time, with perfect
convenience and eotuffirf. On each side the
forward promenade saloon there are 36 berths'
or sleeping places, and in the saloon below it
80 U> each side, making in all, forward 182.
To the MMe-sootns there a» passages inadina
Irom the saloons, ar.d running athwart the ship.
In the forecastle are berths, 36 in number, tor a
portion ol the crew.
Miscellaneous Extracts.
It is instructive to see upon what slender
foundations people build up a re; mat ion for
speaking foreign tongues. While watting in
this place [Varies,] the tollowing question was
put to a young lady by an Englishman, on his
return from his foreign toui; “ Haben sie bag
gaage examine? ’ tn the Babel ol languages
going on around, this seemed a happy combina
tion ofthe three most popular; but, though my
acquaintance with the “ horse language" isnota
speaking one, 1 was determined to try ths same
question upon an undoubted German, in Hie
hope that it might turn out to be Dutch of some
kind. Choosing, therefore, a gentleman with
the longest beard and hair, and pipe, the dirtiest
face, and the strongest smell, I addressed him
with “Haben sie baggaaage examine”? throw
ing in an extra “a” for luck. But my surprise
and disgust were great when he quietly ans
wered “Pas encore, monsieur." Who would
toil at learning foreign languages it such
phrases as this pass current! Haben sie and
wolten sie and ja wohl will pass you through
Germany. Little more than a shrug «ill do in
France and Italy. A gesture with the thumb
and elbow is enough lor the Spaniard; and we
have long known that Inshollah and Maskallah
are passports through the East.— [A Hot Waler
Cure.
The Alligator Fond at Kurrachce.— ln this
pond about fifty alligators are kept, several of
whieh are more than twenty leet long. These
animals are accounted sacred, and the pilgrims
must otter a goat to obtain a sight of them and
to satisfy their rapacity. They are under the
special ch irge of fakirs, and we had scarcely
dismounted when several of these dirty, naked
men, came to offer their services. One of them
broke off some reeds to keep at bay the eager
alligators, and cried, in a mournful tone,
“Owh,Owh!” “Come,cornel” Abotitthirty
ol these reptiles instantly crept out ofthe water,
and, like so many dogs, lay in a semicircle at
the leet of their master. It was a strange scene
to see these animals, with wide, gaping jaws,
not more than four steps from you; but they
were so docile that they drew back at the slight
est touch with the reed. Meantime, our guide
had purchased a goat fora rupee; it was
slaughtered on the spot, and thrown in large
pieces to the alligators, which greedily tried to
snatch the morsels from their companions, and
in so doing, their scaly bodies struck with so
much violence against each other, that some ot
them rolled completely over. After they had
finished their repast, the takir drove them back
into the pond. The largest and most sacre 1 of
these alligators, which we estimated at t early
twenty-five feet in length, was kept by itself in
lhe basin.— Von Orllch's Travels in India.
A Warm Engagement.—A long line of grey
coated French sentinels lined the opposite ridge,
and one of their bands was playing a lively
French air. In the valley below us the little
Basque boys anti girls were pelting each other
with apples between lhe hostile armies. 'I his
was a usual pastime throughout the mountains,
which abounded with vast quantities of apple
trees. One day another officer and myself
were enjoying a rural walk when we met two
of our liiends, whom, tor amusement, we pelted
with apples and drove them at lull speed out of
the orchard. Allot a sudden we were assailed
by a number of the Basque boys, led on by a
girl, who had witnessed our sport at a distance;
and although we piqued ourselves as being
very good throwers, we found it a difficult mat
ter to contend with them, Irom their dexterity in
dealing out such irritating blows on our faces
and legs; and being ashamed to ask for quarter
ot such diminutive antagonists, we made a last
effort and succeeded in hitting one of their lead
ers on the bare heel, when they all ran away,
to our exceeding satisfaction. My companion
had been a cadet at lhe Royal Military College
at Marlow, and declared that he had never ex
perienced a warmer rencontre in his mute juve
nile affrays at that place.— Maxwell’s Peniimla
Sketches.
Egyptian Anecdote. — The katsheff'related the
following almost incredible anecdote. Several
of his suite who were present, were, indeed,
ready to attest ihe truth ot it, but, whether true
or false, it is one which might very properly be
inserted in the next addition ol Munchausen’s
book of marvels: —“ It is not long since,” began
the katsbeff, “that a man from Berbar settled
here, and was well known to all of us. One
morning he led his horse to the Nile to waler,
and fastened the rope by which he held it round
his ann, and while the animal was quenching
bis thirst, he knelt down to prayer. At the
moment when he was lying with his face upon
the ground, a crocodile attacked lhe unhappy
man, swept him into the wa'er with his tail, and
swallowed him. The terrible horse exerted all
his strength to run away, and, as the rope which
was attached to the arm of his dead master in
lhe stomach of lhe crocodile did not snap, and
he could not disengage himself from it, the af
frighted animal not only pulled the crocodile it
self out of the river, but dragged it over the
sand to the door ol his own stable, where it was
soon killed by the family, who hurried to the
spot, and afterwards found the dead body ot
the victim entire in the belly of lhe h: rr id mon
ster,”—Prince Puckler Mvskau's Egypt.
The Frock Coat.— 'l he liocK,"~6r BUnvut, is -
good I We have little ornothiug to say against
it; much in its favor. Utility and elegance ate
at once seen combined i.l this garment, It is
warm, easy to wear, and comfortable; it is ot
graceful and dignified appearance; and it is
becoming to man at all periods of his lite. The
frock coat is nothing more than the ancient
tunic opened in front, and made to sit tight upon
the upper part of lhe body; 'he superior half of
it shows the form of the wearer to advantage,
ami imparts to it a due degree ot manly tagidi
ty, while the interior hall partakes ot the flow
ing folds of drapery, and gives warmth and
covering down to the very knees. Os all gar
ments that are to have any degree of freedom
and looseness about them, the frock-coat is the
best; it is good for a man in almost any avoca
tion, and may be made suitable for the com
mon business of life, as well as f r the refine
ments ofsociety. But then, it should not be
worn open; it should be buttoned upon lhe
breast. Place an officer, in his plain, closely
buttoned undress coat, by the side of a civilian,
with his loose and open (rock, and lhe contrast
is so decidedly in the favor of the former, that
the point, as a matter ot taste and effect will not
admit ofa dispute. The one is a regular sloven
compared with lhe other. If anything can be
said against this buttoning, it is on the score ot
inconvenience in civil life. Is a man at his
library table or his office desk always to be
fastened up in buckram? Where are we to
slow away our watches, our knives, our tooth
picks, our loose cash (when we have any, par
parenlhese?) There is some weight in these
objections; for these little articles ot comfort
cannot be dispensed with ; and we have no better
answer than to propose small external pockets
with lapels, which would not spoil the symme
try ofthe figure; or else, if you are obstinate,
good redder, and are determined on throwing
away your money upon waistcoats, then keep
your frock coat open; but have a waistcoat
either ofthe same cqlor or of some respectable
hue, and have it made jacket fashion, as good
behind as belore. For ourselves, however, we
confess we shall prefer
“Thaiyou, niy friend, whatever wind should blow,
Mi’lit traverse Engtand safety to and Ire,
An honest man. close button’d to the chin —
Broad-cloth without, and a warm heart within.”
Any quantity ol ornament that might be
deemed requisite could easily be applied to this
kind of coat so as to make it a fit habiliment
lor occasions ol ceremony. In its present state
it retains the stiffness of its military origin, (for
it maybe called an invention of thegreatduke's,
of him who wore it on the glorious fields ot
Salamanca and Waterloo, and it came into
fashion at the close of the Peninsular war;)
but it may be embroidered as much as you
please, or its stuff may be varied ad. infinitum,
from Manchester sustain to the finest Genoa

WAIOISPHINGS.
BTHE State of Georgia, deserved
ly celebrated for the fertility of its soil, the
ess and abundance of Its mineral ores, its
stupendous cataracts, and beautiful mountain
scenery; can also boast the most valuable mine
ral fountains on the face of the globe.
This is no vain boasting; a distinguished gen
tleman, one who has travelled extensively in fo
ri ign lands, assures us, that while In England
and on lhe Continent, he visited the most cele
brated watering pl-tcca ; that he saw not one on
which Nature had been so prodigal of her gifts
as those bestowed on tho Warm Springs, in Meri
wether county, Georgia.
This truly wonderful natural curiosity,and de
lightful Summer retreat is situated on a spur of
the Pine Mountains, thirty-six miles north of the
city of Columbus. A fountain, gushing forth
per minute fourteen hundred gallons of crystal
water of 90 J temperature, is Indeed a rare curios-
Jl* v i rr,le ’ however, of curing diseases,
which have defied the skill of the most eminent
Physicians, seems still more wonderful.
The ingredients of the water as ascertained by
accurate analysis are—quantity one wine pint,
or 29 875 cubic Inches—specific gravity 0,999
distilled waler being 1000. GASSES—Carbonic
acid gas, 2 cubic inches. Sulphurate of Hy
drogen, a trace.—Solid contents: Carbonate of
Lime, 1 grain—Carbonate of Iron, 3.5, grains
Carbonate of Magnesia, 10 09. The tempera
ture ofthe water, Winter and Summer. 90 de
grees.
The certificates of Judge Stocks, of Greene,
Mr. Carey, of Columbus, and others, who have
experienced its beneficial effects, and the opinions
of such Physicians as Boswell and Hoxey,
should satisfy the most sceptical of its healing
properties.
As a resort for him who already enjoys tho
blessings of health, and who chooses during the
sultry Summer months to lay aside the duties ot
his avocations, to travel in search of pleasure,in
ah> al liner and cooler clime, there are but few
places In America, where he can find cooler
breezes, e more picturescue mountain scenery, a
greater diversity of amusements, or more re
fined society, and not one where he can enjoy
the luxury of warm bathing to such perfection re
at this favored spot.
The Subscribers having become the exclusive
proprietors, are permanently located here. They
beg leave to assure those who may honor them
with n visit, tliat all their energies will be direct
ed to anticipate the tastes and comfort of their
guests. The Hotel is open during the whole
year. A Postoffice (mail tri-weekly) is establish
ed here—and a large assortment of goods kept.
Since last season, extensive improvements have
been made, and the whole place presents a new
and beautiful appearance. Passengers from Al
abama, Madison, or Griffin, will meet with no
delay, as hacks are always in readiness at Green
ville tocarry them to tho Springs. A tri-weekly
line of stages runs from Columbus here during
the summer. R. & s. R. BONNER.
