AUDUBON’S QUADRUPEDS OF AMERICA.
Messrs. Audubon and Dr. Bachman have
just published vol. 1 of the letter press of their
splendid work, Tf}e Viviparous Quadrupeds
of North America. The plates which are
here described have been already some time
before the public, and we have more than once
directed public attention to them. The subse
quent issues will appear in due course, aud we
congratulate the p blic that a work so valua
ble and so truly national is in the steady course
of completion. The drawings of the animals
are executed by the masterly pencil of Mr. J.
J- Audubon, allhough a few nave beep furnish
ed by Mi. J. \V. Audubon. Many ofthe buck
grounds arc painted by Afr. Victor Audubon,
and they are admirably done. A large portion
of the letter press description comes from the
pea of Dr. Bachman.
We are greatly tempted to extract rarious
passages, for many present themselves of the
highest interest. We content ourselves for
the present with the following on
THE FASCINATION OF SERPENT8.
Quadrupeds and birds have certain antipa
thies; they are capable of experiencing many
of the feelings that appertain to mankind; they
are susceptible of passiop, are sometimes spite
ful and revengeful, and are wise enough to
know their “natural enemies,” without a lot m il
introduction. The blue jay, brown thrush,
white eyed fly catcher, and other little birds
are often to be hearJ scolding, and fluttering
about a thicket, in which some animal is con
cealed, and on going to examine into the cause
of their unwonted excitement, you will proba
bly see a wild cat or fox spring forth frpm the
covert. Every one familar with the habits of
our feathered tribes niust have seen at times the
owl or buzzard chased by the smallest birds,
which unite on such occasions for the purpose
ol driving off a common enemy; in these cases,
tlje birds sometimes approach too near, and are
seized by the owl. We once observed some
njght hawks (Chardtiles Virginianus) darting
rqunda tree upon which an owl was perched.
Whilst looking on, we pereeiyed the owl make
a sudden movement, nnd found that he had
caught one of them in his sharp claws, and not
withstanding the cries and menaces of the oth
ers, he instantly devoured it.
Bjids dart in the same manner at snakes, ‘ Well» write on jt tyew Orleans, and put it
and no doubt are often caught by passing too into tiiat mail,”suid the stranger, with all poasi-
nesr—shall we, therefore, conclude that they , ble earnestness—and faying down l.is Jive cents.

offspring. This feeling, which is so deeply ’
1 rr.ents, and too ag le. snatching up its food at
J interval', and fly m? instantly buck to its perch,
i to be -struck by the unwieldy >erpeiit. \V«
j now added u mouse to thenumberof tiie inmate-'
j ol tbe cage; the effngfued animal rurea'ert to
-jacojn<r r where the snake, slowly crawling
(i(> to it, with a sodden blow darted his fangs
into and killed it; soon after which he swallow
ed it. About a week after this ndyeuture, the
snake again resumed his attempts to capture tha
thrush, and pursued it all round the cage.
This experiment offered ft fitir opportunity
for the rattle snake to exert its powers of fasci
nation, had it possessed any ; but os it did not
exhibit them, we do not hesitate to aay that it
was entirely destitute of any faculty of the kind.
After spate hours fruitless manoeuvring, the
snake coiled itself up, ne';r the cup of water
from which the bird drank For two days the
thrush avoided the water; V>n the third, raving
become very thirsty, it showed a constant de
sire to approach the cup ; the snake waited for
it to come within reach, and in the course of the
day struck at it two or three times; tbe bird
darted out of its way, however, cad wag not
killed until the next day.
If, not 1 .vithstang these facts, it t3 argued, that
the mysterious and inexplicable power offasci
nation is possessed by the snake, because birds
have been seen to nppfoach it, and with open
wings nml plaintive voice, seemed to wail upou
its appetite, we must be prepared to admit that
ihe same faculty is possessed by other animals.
On a certain day, wo saw a mocking bird, ex
hibiting every appearance, usually, according
to descriptions, witnessed when birds are under
the influence of fascination. It approached a
hog, which was occupied in munching some
thing at the foot of a small cedar. The bird
fluttered before the grunter with open wings,
uttered a low and plaintive note, alighted on hia
hapk, and finally began to peck at his snout.—
On examining into the cause of these strange
proceedings, we ascertained that the mocking
bird bad a nest in the tree, from which several
of her younglings had fuller, which the hog was
eating! Oup friend, the kite Dr. Wright, of
Troy, informed us that he witnessed s nearly
similar scene between a cat bird and a dog
which had distroyed her brood, on which oc
casion the cat bird went through many of ih©
moyemer.ts generally ascribed to the effect of
fascination.
SCENE IN OUR POST OFFICE.
Yesterday a genteelly dressed young man
marched up to the place of deposite for paid
letters, and offered oue of the clerks ofthe Post
Office a letter, on which he desired to pay ad
vance postage. Taking the letter, the clerk
observed there was only the name of the per
son addressed written thereon.and remarked to
the stranger that he knew not where to send it.
“It makes no difference,” replied the stran
ger, “what’s the price? what have I to pay.”
?‘Depends upon where you send it,” answer,
ed the clerk.
‘•Well, what do you charge to If. Orleans?”
inquired the stranger.
•‘Five cents!”
DEBT OF MEXICO.
There has been a great deal of uncertain y
as to the national debt of Mexico. In a Lon
don letter dated 80th October, to ihe N. York
Journal of Commerce, we find a specific ac
count of this debt. It is divided into two class
es, interpul and foreign. The former amounts
rooted iu the system of nature, as to be a rule,
almost without an exception, is manifested
strongly by birds and quadrupeds; and snakes
are among the most to be dreuded destroyers
of eggs and young birds, and of the young of
small species of vtvarous animals; is it not like-
ly.heafore, that many ofthe (supposed )cases j . - §60,000,000 ia a

ulating for the payment of $400,Q00 for the
same period, payable in annual installments of
S2GJOOO each. The $71,000 in hand were,
I owever, deemed of more value than the pros
pective $400,000! This mint leaves a ret an
nual income of 860,000! It appears to us
quite evident that all tbe taxes which can be
levied, even to ap amount equal to confiscation,
on tjie produce of labor in Mexico, will be
found to be far shoit of the amount necessary
to maintain the army, the civil expenditure,
and the payment of the interest of the national
debt; especially while the church and priests
absorb so large a share of the prqdiics of in
dustry.”
These f^cis wilj show how greatly interest,
ed England is in Mexico, and bow much pro

unless by taking n piece of her territory.

sr.ake; these two plates ea h exhibit several
birds assisting the fair whose nest hag been
robbed by the snake, and also show the mock
ing bird and thrush courageously advancing to
the jaws of their enemy. These pictures
were drawn after the actual occurrence before
our eyes, ofthe scenes which we endeavored to
represent in them, and supposing a per>on but
little acquainted with nMural history, to have
seen ihe. birds, as we did, he might readily have
lancied that some of them nt least were facina-

enough to mark the angry expression of llteir

Our readers will, we trust, excuse us for de
taining them yet a little longer on this subject,
as we have more to gay of the habits ofthe rat
tle snake, iu connection with the subject we are
upon.
This snake, the most vencgious known in
North America, subsists wholly on animal food;
it digests ils food slowly, and is able to exist
without any sustenance for months, or even
years, in confinement; during'this time it often
increases in size, and the number of its rattles
is augmented In ils natural state it feeds on
rabbits, squirrels, rats, birds,, pr any other small
animals that may come in its way. It captures
its prey by lying in wait for it, and we have
heard of an instance, in which one of these
snakes remained coiled up f.rr two days before workmen found a human body completely
