Ttc character and history of Dr. Mitchill arc known to this community, among whom his life has been principally passed, and of whos: confidence in his wisdom and integrity he had several times received the most convin- j cing proof, in being chosen as their represen tative in the National and slate Legisla tures. The literary and scientific acquirements and productions of Dr. Mitchill wore known and appreciated in Europe as well as in this, country, and on both continents they had pro cured for him the distinction of membership, j and of other honorary testimonials, from a great number of learned and scientific socic. | eties.

New York Evening Post. GENIUS. Genius of every kind belongs to some in nate temperament; it does not necessarily im- j ply a particular bent, because that may pos-; sibly be the effect of circumstances; hut, with-! out question, the peculiar quality is inborn, and particular to the individual. All hear and see much alike: but there is an mdcfirvft- j blc though wide difference between the ear i of a musician, ortho eve of a painter,com-j pared with the hearing and seeing organs of ordinary men; and it is in something like that difference in which genius consists. Genius is, however, an ingredient of mind, more ca- 1 si ly described by its effect than by its quali ties. It is as the fragrance, independent of the freshness and complexion of the rose; as the light of the cloud; as the bloom on the cheek of beauty, of which the possessor is un conscious until this charm lias been seen by its influence on others; it is the eternal golden | flame of the opal; a something that may be I extracted from the thing in which it appears, without changing the quality of its substance, t its form, or its affinities. — Galt's Byron] Simplicity of Goldsmith —Col. O’Moon-, of Cloghatn Castle, 111 Ireland, told tho editor an aYuusing instance of the iniugledjvuriity and simplicity of Goldsmith, wilich, thWgh color, od a little, as anecdotes too often are, i3 characrcffDic at least of the opinion which the best friends of Goldsmith. One alter noon, as Col. O’ Moore and Air. Burke were* going to dine with Sir Joshua Reynolds, they observed Goldsmith, also on his way to Sir Joshua’s, standing near a crowd of people who were staring and shouting at some foreign wo men in the windows ol quo of the houses in Leicester square. “Observe Goldsmith,”said Burke to () Aloof 0, “ and mark what passes between him and me, by-and-bv, at Sir Josh* ua s. ’ They passed on, and arrived before Goldsmith, who came soon after, and Mr. Burke affected to receive him very c oolly.— This seemed to,vex Goldsmith, who begged j Air. Burke would tell hint how ho had tho ■ rnisfoitune to otlend him, Burke appeared i very reluctant to speak, bill after a good deal j of pressing said, “that he was really ashamed ; to keep up an intimacy with one ivho could he guilty of sucll monstrous indiscretions as Goldsmith had exhibited in the square. * Goldsmith, with great earnestness, protested lie was unconscious of what was meant. “M hy,” said Burke, “ did you not exclaim, as you were looking up at those women, what -tupid hcasts the crowd must be for staring , " i'll such admiration at those painted jeza" ; Dels* while a man of your talents passed bv , unnoticed?" Goldsmith was horror struck,and jsaid, “Surely, surely, my dear friend, I did 1 not say so?” N ay,” replied Burke, “if you 'had not said so, how should I have.known it.’* That’s true.'’ answered Goldsmith, wit!* great humility: “I am very sorry—lt was ve ry foolish: I do recollect that something of the kind passed through my mind, but I did not: think I had uttered itf—Crohefs Boswell'ss Johnson. THE ACROPOLIS. | The Acropolis of Athens is a hill 259 feet ■ high’ situated near the centre of the most an ! cient city. It. was strongly fortified and or j 'lamented with temples,'\he chief of which ! was the splcndcd tenipleof Minerva, tile glo !T °f Grecian art Tlie Persians, under Xer i 3cs, took the citadel, put the garrison to th | sword, and set fire to the fortress, and tho temple ot Minerva* The temple was rebuilt I by Pericles with great additional splendour. M ithiri was thq statue to Alinervu by Phidias the most r-piecc of the art of statuary. It | was ot ivory, 39 feet in height, and eovcretf u ith pure gold to the value of $530, 000. In J f hr- year of the Y'cnetians atteinjrted to* ; make themselves masters of Athens; in the siege, the Turks having con verted the temple .Minerva into a powder magazine, a bomi> j fell info it, and blew up the whole roof of | that famous edifice. The Turks afterwards converted the inside into a mosque. This e- I difico, mutilated as it is, retains still an air | or inexpressive grandeur and excites the ad miration of every beholder “For these forty years, ’ said tlie French Consul to Poquevillc* i “do I behold this matchless structure, and every day do l discover new beauties 11* it." The Turks fortified tho Acropolis amt j built a large irreguMr wall around it. In the year 1821,'soon after the commencement of* ! the Revolution in Greece, this fortress was unsuccessfully besieged by the Greeks. The. Turks, who had with them about 50 of the principal Greeks, daily cut off the heads of i several, and rolled them down the walls of tho 1 citadel. The next year it surrendered to 1- i lyssos. I' - ■ Indian Sag acitv. —An Indian, upon hist | return home to his hut one day, discovered ; that his venison which he had hiing up to dry, i had been stolen. After taking observations j Upon the spot, lie set olfin pursuit of tho, thief, whom he tracked through the woody ' After going some distance, he met some per sons of whom he inquired, if they had seen a little old white man, with a short gun, ar i coronanied by a small dog with a bob tail* They replied in the affirmative, and upon tho Indian assuring them that the man thus dcs. crilied had stolen his venison, they desired to be informed how he was enabled to give i such a minute description of a person he. had not seen l The Indian replied thus—“The thief 1 know is a little man, by big having made a piTe of stones to stand upon in order to reach the venison from the height I hung it standing on the ground; that lie is an old man, l know by his shortstops, which I bau> , traced over the leaves in tlie woods; and that lie is a ichife man, I know by his turning out his toes when be walks, which an Indian never does. His gun I know to be short % by tho mark the muzzle made by rub* hing the hark of the tree on which it lean ed; that liia dog is small, I know by bis tracks? and that he has a bob tail, 1 dis covered by the mark it made in the dusr where he was timing at the time hi* master was taking down the meat. It has been ascertained that there are now in the United States, more than 12,000 chureii es.— I The principal religious denominations arc Baptists and Methodists, who have to gethcr44B4 churches; the Presbyterians ha\ o 1 1472 churches; the Uongregationaßsts htno : 1031 churches; the Episcopalians are alsonu -1 inerous, and have 92 2 churctu the Roman i Catholics have 734 churches; the Dutch Re- I formed have 602 churches; the Ur;ends havo 1462 societies, the Univcrsalists have 29-< i churches; the Unitarians have 127 churches; j tho Jews have 96 synagogues; the Culvanis I tic Baptists have 81 churches; the Sweden. * borgans have 73 churcbe*; and the Moravian* ’ i>6 churches.
