Nothing New under the Sun.—lt appears that Mr Layard, the antiquarian, hat discov ered among the niina of Nineveh, or the neigh borhood, a printing office filled with terracotta tablets, with inscriptions stamped in. This was probably done with maveable typo. The magnetic telegraph was in actual opera tion in Spain in 1824, on a line over twenty rode* in length, as we saw it described some time ago. More recently the papers contain a circumstantial account of a trial trip of a steamboat, which was successful, about three hundred years ago, also in Spain, before the whole court: Mr. Layard s Latest Discoveries. —A few weeks ago we announced (says the Literary Gazette,) Mr. Layard s return from hi* expe dition into the desert, and the rescue of aome of his larger antiquities from the mud of the river, and their embarkation for England. We have since, however, received further particu lars of his recent discoveries at Koyunjik, which are extremely interesting. He found, as has bees stated, a chamber which ia com pletely filled with terracotta tableta, the in scription* on which, we now learn, are stamp ed in, so that though Major Rawiinsoo thinks it very probable these tablets may be records of the empire, it ia still not unlikely that many of them may, in fact be duplicates of, or a col lection of, manifestoes for issuing to the peo ple or their immediate rulers—in short, a sort of Assyrian official printing office. We believe that no fewer than twenty-five cases are on their way to England. In the pyramid at Nimroud, also, a unique statue has been discovered. It is from four to five feet in height, in gypsum, elaborately carved and very perfect. There is also a high relief of the King, very beautifully executed, standing in an arch eight feet high, and covered with minute inscriptions. Mr. Layard’s last com munication is dated Akra, July 17, where we are sorry to say, he had been confined by a severe attack of fever. The inefficient assistance he has received has caused him to over exert himself, and thus he has been stopped awhile on his way to Vae to secure inscriptions. He hopes to pass a great part of the winter in Babylonia, and to return home iu the spring The very impor taut discoveries he is now making render it im • peratively necessary that his exertion sshould not he stayed for want of funds. Knowledge— bt Sidney Smith —It ia the ancieut feeling es the humau heart, that know ledge is better than riches, au d it is deeply mod sacredly trual To mark the eourae of human passions aa they have flowed o■ in the ages that have passed; to see why nations have risen and why they hava fallen; to apeak of heat, and light, and winds; to know what roan has discovered in the heavens above and in the earth henaath; ta hear the chemist unfold the marvelous properties that the Creator has locked up in a speck of earth ; to be told that there are worlds aa distiuct from our sun, that the quickness of light travelling from the world’- creation ha* never yet reached us; to wander in the creation of poetry, and grow warm agaiu with that eloquenca which swayed the democ racies of tha old world ; to go up with great reaaoners to the First Cause of all, and to per ceive, ia the midst of all this dissolution and de cay, aid cruel separation, that there is ona thing unchangeable, indestructible, and ever lasting; it is worth while in the days of our youth to strive hard for this pre eminent discip line ; ta pass sleepless nights for it, to give up to it laborious days, and to spurn for it present pleasures. * * * I appeal to the experi ence of any man wha is i« the habit of exer cising his mind vigorously and well, whether there is not a satisfaction in it, which tells him he has been acting up to oue of the great ob jects of his existence T The end of nature has been answered; his faculties huve done that whiab they were created to do; not languidly occupied upon trifles, not enervated by eensual gratification, but exercised in that toil which is so congenial to their nature, and ao worthy of their strength. A life of knowledge ia not of ten a life of injury and crime. Whom doea such a man oppose? with whose happiness doea he interfere 7 whom daes his ambition destroy, and whom does his fraud deceive - In the pursuit of science he injures no man, and in the acquisition he does good to all. A man who dedicates his life to knowledge, be comes hsbituated to pleasure which carries with it no reproach; and there is one security that he will never love that pleasure which is paid far by anguish of heart; his pleasures are ail cheap, all dignified, and all innocent; and, aa far as any human being can expect permanence in this changing scene, he has secured a hap piness which ho malignity of fortune can aver take away, but which must cleave to him while he lives, ameliorating every good and dimin ishingevery evil es his existence. Another Physician's Testimony.— Mr. FOWLE —Dear Sir : I could send you a doz n certificates, strong and decisive, of the really anative effects of your valuable Balsam of Wild Cherry, within the past twelve months, under my own supervision and direction. Indeed, I know of few persons who have used it, comparatively, but commend it in the strongest terms. A case of Asth ma, the severest I ever saw, to which I was called a month ago, evinced the superiority of tke Balsam. This disease lasted six weeks, and the dyspna and suffering was dreadful ; be sat up every night. The gentleman told me tc give birn something to last bim home, (21 miles,) so that he might see his wife and child, and die in peace I 1 gave him one bottle of jhe Balsam, and four ounces of syrup squills, direct ing him to take tea-spoonful dcses of best Bordeaux olive oil, when the difficulty of breathing was great est. Next day I forced hia despondent will, and made him take six bottles of Wisfar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry home with him as a pr- SBnt, he having alleged that he had tfsed so much expensive medi cines to no profit. Last week Mr. A. called and expressed his gratitude to me in the warmest man ner, said the medicine bad saved his life, paid bis whole bill, and took six bottles mors, and left my office for home, rejoicing.
