£ miscellaneous extracts. Of the Distribution of Animals.—The geographical distribution of each species of animal, Dr. Fleming observes, may be re presented by a circle, towards the centre of which, existence may be: comfortably maintained ; but as w*e approach the cir cumference, restraints multiply, and life at last becomes impracticable. Each species has a range peculiar to itself, - so that the circle of different species intersect ottc ano ther in every possible relation. Hitherto the geographical limits of but few species have been satisfactorily determined. These chiefly belong to the larger species of quad rupeds, as the African and Asiatic elephants, the ass and the quagga, the lion, hippopota mus, and polar bear. In the tribes of the less perfect animals, the spectes of which have been investigated by few, the extent of their geographical distribution has been jgflty imperfectly determined. They appear limited to circumstances connected emfperitture, food, situation and foes.

When an article becomes an object of production, so long as the quantity produced is short of the de mand by those who can afiord to use it, the price will probably be profitable; but as soon as the quan tity exceeds that dematjd, then the price must ne cessarily be reduced in onjer to embrace a greater number of consumers; and so on successively, until it reaches the lowest ebb, and is no longer profit- (“or the Wl able, and can only again become so by reducing the production of it.—Thus it has been with the cotton of this country; but in the first stages of its fall, in stead of taking this view of its tendency, the plant ers, in the desire of progressing rapidly in wealth, most unwisely argued, that though the profits had declined, let money might be made, and the falling off compensated by raising double the quantity— which they proceeded to do, and of course complete ly defeated their views by the unavoidable further reduction; and so reduced it must continue, until means are adopted to lessen the quantity—not by abandoning the culture, but by introducing other ob jects to divide the general care and attention, and effect an advantageous counterpoise. - , [communication.] FEMALE EX AMIN ATION.

The most promising article, however, in our view, both with regard to preliminary expense, ultimate profit, and moral benefits, is the vine: on this last account only, it is worthy the serious consideration of all moral minded men whose sympathies extend to the condition of society; "or it is well established that where wine abounds, drunkenness is infrequent, and habits of it not continued for any time together.— (Objections occur with most people to this culture, on account of the distance of their gains:—this might have some weight if there was to be any considera ble interference with their usual pursuits; but no sensible-man makes that objection to planting a peach or apple orchard, though their returns are still engaged. more distant; and vines would interfere about aB Rhetoric!#! hafl walls of the besieged city, in order to gain tho prize of beauty.

The mole has, in general, finished his ope- ibtion before the end of May. The fleece of the sheep, when suffered to fall, is seldom Cast before the end of June. In the northern end of Scotland, where the shears are never used, the inhabitants watch the time when the fleece is ready to fall, and pull it off with their fingers. The long hairs, which likewise form a part of the covering, remain for several weeks, as they are not ripe for casting at the same tiara with the fine wool. The moulting of birds is another prepara tion for winter; which is analogous to the casting of the hair in quadrupeds. The distribution of colour, in the animal kingdom, appears to be connected with the latitude as correlative with temperature. In the warmer districts of 1 tfie earth, the colours of man, quadrupeds, and birds, exhibit greater variety, and are deeper and brighter, than in the natives of colder coctatries. Among the inhabitants of the temperate and cold regions, there are many species which, in reference to- the colour of thenr dress, do not appear to be mflueaced by the vicissitudes of the seasons, hi others, a very marked difference prevails between the colour of thi'iffpnrner and winter * ' grant a reasonable indulgence on the amount of its notes now in the Treasury, this being the only claim of any amount that can be brought against the insti tution.’ The amount of notes itated to be-in circu lation, (neatly all of which are in the Treasury,) is $543,919—specie and specie funds $14,157—capital stock $651,171—amount due from the offices $531,- 828, of which $50,000 is considered doubtful and bad.

It has been the fate of some such institu tions, from a feeble beginning perhaps, to rise and flourish for a while, afterwards to meet with t such opposition as proved an in surmountable obstacle to their progress, and sometimes ended in their almost entire abo lition : others, from a prosperous beginning, have commenced a retrogade, in the outset, and finally, through bad management, have fallen. But this, having assumed an inter mediate standing, has proceeded silently and gently on towards “ the perfect day.” If it has ever met with opposition, like the flexi ble willow, it bows till the violence of the tempest is past, and soon again re-assumes its wanted upright and growing position.
