The letter is dated at Genoa, near which city is situated the Village of Coco- manure letto, the reputed birth-place of Columbus : A full day was occupied in an excursion to Cocoletto, the reputed birth-place of Christopher Columbus. Although much obscurity still hangs over the cradle of this great man, yet the American traveller in particular will feel a satisfaction in visiting a spot, which tradition has associated with the Discoverer of the New World. I have neither time nor inclination at present to en ter into a disquisition upon the contradicto ry authorities in relation to this subject, nor to balance the conflicting claims of rival places to the nativity of the adventurous navigator. His own manuscript is now un derstood to be in the hands of Washington Irvine at Madrid, who perhaps may throw some new light upon the early years of its author. ^ The village ef Cocoletto is situated at the head of the Gulf, (of Venice) about fifteen miles from Genoa, on the road towards Sa vona. On arriving at thelittle hotel, inquiry was made for the house of Christopher Co lumbus, and some half a dozen villagers, who seemed to exult in the laaine, led the way to the antique and humble mansion. It stands upon the sea shore, encircled by the Alps and looking south upon a waste of wa ters. If the grandeur of natural scenery can inspire genius, end awaken young thought to noble pursuits, Cocoletto may hence draw an argument to strengthen her claim, and in this particular at least chal- 1 enge competition. The low arched ceil ings and decayed walls bear all the marks of great age, hut one can hardly bring him self to the belief, that they have stood be tween three and four centuries. A small chamber, perhaps ten feet square, is shewn, in which it is pretended Columbus was born. Many fragments of the ceiling have been carried away as relics. The furniture 6! the room seems as if it might be coequal with the apartment. A little image of the Madonna, a cross, and a cup of the holy water, are suspended to tho curtain at the head of the bed. The present tenant is a kind hearted woman, who spread her frugal board and insisted op sharing its hospitality with the strangers from a distant land, which her illustrious predecessor had discovered Her ideas of cosmography were not very pre cise ; and like many other less pardonable Europeans, she seemed to consider all. A- mericans, as the descendants of the -Abori gines. In front of the house is a small terrace overhanging the shore; and when the Gulf is stormy and the waves run high, a shower of spray patters upon the roof. If this was really the birth place of Columbus, & may almost be said, that he was cradled upon the sea: the first sour.dsna^egjd must have been its murmurs, and the first object of his vision, its blue expanse. As I stood leaning over the balustrade, watching the swells breaking at my feet, and the line of Horses.—Horses whose labor is severe are often injured by being stinted in water, particularly when they are allowed a large quantity of food. It is a common practice with wagoners, when their horses come in from a long fatiguing journey, their strength almost exhausted by long continued exer tion and sweating, to offer them immediate ly an unlimited quantity of food, and very little, and most commonly not a drop, of water. Under such circumstances the stomach is not able to digest the food taken in, and it is probable that the staggers are sometimes the consequence of such man agement—When a horse comes from a long journey, he should always be allowed a little water before he is fed. It is recom mended to permit a horse to drink his ffil, if he is not very warm, about a mile from the tavern, or place where you intend to stop; as the water will then warm in his stomach, by the time you arrive at the inn—-when it is said to be preferable to watering in the stalls.—JV.

Dinner Extraordinary.—On “ Twelfth Night,’’ the superior officers of the Thames Tunnel Company met, and partook of a sumptuous banquet prepared for them in one of the arches of the tunnel. The din-; ner comprised most of the delicacies of thfy seasqn» and was lowered by the same meads of communication as- that which conveys: the excavated earth to the summit of shaft. (M. tL Brunei, Esq. in the CBpnr.j From the observations which .wereyrnade during the evening, it appeared that the dis tance already excavated,, from the, base of the shaft to the spot wl>ere' the work-people are engaged, is within a^few.feei otUOO, and it is conjectired by the Vehole o0tn»^ scien tific persons employ^ upon the works, that, having surmoUnted^e obstruction of some formidable land-springs, and being now about 270 feet under the river, there exists every reasonable ground^ for anticipating ultimate success. The work is continued, as heretofore,^ without cessation, the work people -Reing relieved, every eight hours. Th6 stratum of the soil through which the work is now proceeding is not so dense or binding as that;which had been previously encountered, ‘ and the consequence is*, that the progress of the. excavation-has been
