Ve copy'the following remarks upon this ''subject from Dr. -F. Vandorburg's Address be- fore the New York ALcademy of Medicine : The genus homo and the genus horse have a •double privilege of refrigeration, while all other animated beings have but one. You may be 'surprised to learn, that ,no other beings sweat ;except men and horses, and hence no other be- ings can cool themselves, when hot, by perspi- ration through the skin. The confirmation of 'this fact is fdund i n the whole range of compar- ative anatomy, where nature has furnished ex- amples on the most extended scale of magnitude, -in the whale animated world, in the largest as \well as the smallest of beings. ., In all the paphydermata, or thick-skinned an- imals, except the horse, are found no pores in 5 }he skin that exhale heat by perspiration, the \envelope on all these animals being only n se- 'cfetingsurfape, like others of the internal sun- \face of the body. All the cleft-feet species, in- l c]u1lirig those presenting feet with^oes rounded *Snd unprovided with claws, the elephant, rhi- noceros, bison, mammoth, mastodon, Vuffalo, ox, -s,wine, deer, as well as the'4ion,-|Jger, bear, wolf, fox, birds, squirrel, dormouse, oppossuim, \raccoon ull alike offer the same examples.as the dog; thai* they have no other means of cool- ing themselves when hot except through the tpedium of the lungs, by respiration. The farmer drives his oxen, in the summer heat, with great care ; and when they open itlieir months and thrust out their tongues, and ipnnt to exhale the heat generated by exercise, •if he does not stop their motion, they die with the heat that accumulates within them. His hogs, too, must be driven with more care; and if they are allowed to grow fat in hot weather, •they often die, panting, in a state of repose, •when in the shade. All these animals, with tho exception of the I elephant and rhinoceros, are covered wjth hair and fur. or feathers and down, which varies with the climate. The fur and down tribe throw off their rich' .covering at the approach of spring, and revel •with their, fellows i n the summer's sun, and, as tlie autumn returns, they are refurnished with 'their furs and down, in anticipation of the win- tor's frost. • In health, these animals have a largo deposit of fat beneath the skin. Fat is a mixture of two or more ingredients, which differ from each other in consistency. In most instances, they are stearine and margarine, along with a liquid oleine. As the weather cools, these oils and fat| condense; and as they solidify, they become tion-conductors of heat; ami as the heat accu- mulates hcnenih the skin, it generates the deli- cate furs and down for winter's use ; and in the spring, as the temperature rises, the oleine be- comes volatile, and sheds them again for llio summer's heat j so that this simple law for the •generation of heat, in animal, as in Vegelnblo life, is graduated by theflnctiinlions of tho sea- son, and the revolutions of time. The familiar example of the dog, who generates his heat at the expense of hissubstoncc, may be mentioned. Ashe increases his speed, during no pores in his skin, he multiplirs his respiration in tho ratio of motion, as the only means of keeping him- self cool ; and huving no perspiration to check, he plunges inin water with impunity, and re- turns refreshed,while men and horses submerged in a similar condition, would suddenly check their perspiration ; and if they survived the shock, it would be to die with acuto or chronic inflammation.

Scalded Snorts for Horses, Shorts, as they are familiarly termed, when scalded, make an excellent diet Tor sick animals. The usual method of preparation is, to turn two •or threecmnrts of shortsinto n bucket, to which =atld boiling water, so that the mixture when stirred shall bo about the consistence of it soft ipoiiltice ; it is then to ho covered with a cloth, and not given to the horse until sufficiently cool. When a horse has taken cold, and labors under •a discharge from the nostrils, the mash may be put in the manger while hot, with a view of steaming the nnsal passages, nnd fnvoring the discharge, of morbid accumulations. It is our general practice, when treating horses for acute .diseases, to proscribe an occasional mess of the •above; and we invaiiahly observe some lienelit •derived. In acute diseases of the alimentary canol—inflammation of the bowels for example —the practice is open to some objection, on nc- •counC of the irritation which the nriicle might produce on the mucous surfaces. During the •active stage of such disease, food of this kind as inadmissible, and such articles as are mucila- genous, lubricating, ore indicated. The best wo know of are flaxseed, marslnnallows nnd slip- pery elm. It is customary in England, in large stables, to set a boiler, in which hot water is continually kept for the use of the stable, and more particulary for making bran mashes, and at night, if any of the horses look dumpish, (fa- tigued.) a bran mash and a good warm bed of stratv, generally restore them. Let a man who has performed a hard day's Work, arriving at home late at night, his cloihes drenched with fain, his feet icy cold, and his frnme shaking like an aspen leaf, now partake of a bowl of warm gruel and tumble into a good feather bed—he can afterwards understand how a poor horse, un- der similar circumstances, might be benefitted. White recommends bran mashes in fever nnd ali inflammatory complaints; they are useful also as a preparative to physic, serving to re- move any indurated feces there may be in the bowels, whereby the operation is rendered more safe and effectual. When n liorse has been fed high for some time, a change to a diet of mash- es for two or three days will often do a great deal of good Veterinarian Jour. A Funeral Sermon. The Editor of the Knickerbocker, who always abounds with good things, has the following fu- neral sermon furnished him by a correspondent at the South : Parson S., a rather eccentric character, was called upon to \ preach the funeral\ of a hard case named Ilium, which he did in the following unique style: •\ My belov'd brethren and sistrin, if our dear departed broderRann would n-wnnted somebody to come here an' tell lies 'bout him, an' make him out a better man than he was, he wouldn't itt-chose me to \ preach the funeral,\ No, my bredren. he wanted to be hel'up as a burnin' an' a shinin' light to warn yon of the error of y'ur ways. He kept ho'ses an' he'd run 'em ; he keptcliick'ns, an' he font emj he kept wemen, an' there sits his widow who can prove it. (The widow sat directly in front of the pulpit, and here gave an affirmative nod.) Our dear do- parted broder had many warnin'?, bredren. The first warnin' was, when he broke his leg, but ho stilt went on in the errorof his ways. The second was, when his son Pete hung himsel' in jail ; an' the lost an' greatest warnin' of all, was when he died himsel'!\ The preacher en- larged on the topics, until he had sunk Kami so low, that his hearers began to doubt whether he would over succeed in-getting him up again, and as is usual in \ funerals\ landing him safely in Abraham's bosom. This was the object of the second partofthesermon, which started off thus: \ My bredren, there'll he great miracles, gnat niir'eles in Heaven. An'tho lirst tuiracle will he that many 'xpect to fin' dar, you won't see dar. The people dat go round wid long faces, makin' long prayers, won't be dar ; an' the sec- ond miracle will he dat many you don't 'xpect to find dar, as perhaps some won't'xpect to find our dear departed broder Rann, you*ll see dar ; an' the last an' greatest rnir'cle will be to fin' your- sclls dar I\ J In'baying up furs for summer, lay a tallow candle 5n ortienr them, and danger from worms will bo obviated, From Herman Melville's Wow Worlc—\Moboy Dick.\ The \Whale's Fountain, That for six thousand years—and no one knows how many millions of ages before—the gretit whales should have been spouting all over the sea, and sprinkling nnd mistifying the gar dens of the deep, as with s o many springlingor mistifying pots; nnd that for sumo centuries back, thousands of hunters should have been close by the fountain of the whale, watching these sprinklings and spoutings, llint all this shnuld be. nnd yet, that down to this blessed miuite (lifu>'n ami a epiarter minutes pnst one oVlni-k P. M., of this sixteenth day of October, hi B., IW1,) it should *till remain a problem. VMintlicrthfie spoutings are, afterall, real water, or ii'ithing but vapor, this issurcly a noteworthy thing. Let us, then, look at this matter, along with soma interesting matters contingent. Every one knows, that by I he peculiar cunning of their gills, the finny tribes in general breathe the air which nt nil times is combined with the element in which they swim j hence, a herring or a cod might live a century, and never once raise its heud above the surface. But owing to his mark- ed internal structure which gives him regular lungs, like a human being's, the whale can only live by inhaling the disengaged nir in the open atmosphere. Wherefore his periodical visits to tho upper world. But he connotin any de- gree breathe through his mouth, for, in his ordi- nary attitude, the Sperm Whale's month i s bu- ried nt leost eight feet below the surface.; and what is still more, his windpipe has no connec- tion with his mouth. No, he breathes through his spiral alone ; and this is on the top of his head. If I sny, that in any creature breathing is on- ly a function indispensable to vitality, inasmuch as it draws from the air a certain element, which being subsequently brought into contact with the blond imparts lo the blood its vivifying prin- ciple, I do not think that I shall err; though I may possihly use some superfluous scientific words. Assume it, and it follows that if all the blood in a man could be terated with one breath, he might then seal up his np-Strils and rmtfetch another for a considerable time. That is to say. he would then live without breathing. Anoma- lous as it may seem, this is precisely the case with the whale, who systematically lives, by intervals, his full hour or more (when at the bottom) without drawing a single breath, or so much as in any way inhaling a particle of air ; for remember, he has no gills. How is this 2 Between his ribs nnd each side of his spine he is supplied with a remarkable Cretan labyrinth of vermicelli-like vessels, which vessels, when he quits the surface, are completely distended with oxygenated blood. So that for an hour or more, a thousand fathoms in the sen, he carries a surplus stock of vitality an him, just as the camel crossing the waterless desert carries a supply of drink forfutureuse in itssupplemen- tary stomachs. The anatomical fact of this la- byrinth is indisputable; and that ihe supposi- tion founded upon it is reasonable and true, seems the more cogent to me. when I consider the otherwise inexplicable obstinacy of that leviathan in having his spoutings out, as the fishermen plirase it. This is what I mean. If unmolested, upon raising to the surface, the S,jerm Whale will continue there for a period of time exactly uniform with all his other un- molested risings. Say he stays eleven minutes, and jets seventy times, that is, respires seventy breaths; then whenever he rises again, he will be sure to have his seventy breaths over again, to a minute. Now, if after he fetches a few breaths you alarm him, so that he sounds, be will be always dodging up again to make good his allowance of air. And not till these seven- ty breaths are told, will he go down to stay out his full term below. Remark, however, that in different individuals these rates are different; but in any oh'e are they alike. Now. why should the whnif thus insist in having his spout- ings out, nnlessr'it be to replenish his reservoir of air, ere descending for good 1 How obvious is it, too. that this necessity for the whale's rising exposes himjo all the fatal hazardsof the chase. For not-byhook or net could this vast leviathan be caught, when sailing a thousand fathoms be- neath the sunlight. Notsomuch thy skill, then, O hunter, as his great necessities that strike the victory to thee! In man. breathing is incessantly going on— one breath only serving for two or three pulsa- tions ; so that whatever other Business he has to attend to, waking or sleeping, breathe he must, or die he will. But the Sperm Whale only breathes about one seventh or Sunday of his time. It has been said that the whale only breathes through his spout-hole: if i t could truthfully be added that his spouts are mixed with water, then I opine we should be furnished with the reason why the sense of smellseems obliterated in him; for the only thing about him that at nil answers to his'nose is that identical spout-hble;, and being so clogged with two elements, it could not be expected' tfl have the power of smelling. But, qwhig -to, the. mystery, of the. spout—whether it be water or whether it be vapor—no absolute, certainty c.tui as yet be ar- rived at on thishead, Sure it is; nevertheless', that the Sperm Whale has no proper olfactories. But what does he was want of thenj? No ro- ses, no violets, no Cologne-water in the sea ! Furthermore, asi'his windpipe solely opens into the tube pf.hjs spouting canal, and as that long canal—like the grand Erie- Canal—is fur- nished with asnrt of locks (that open;and shut) for the downward retention of air or the up- ward exclusion of water, therefore the whale lids no voice ; unless you -insult him by saying, that when he so strangely ra_mb'les, he talks through his nose. But then again, what;has the whale to say ? Seldom have I known any profohnd being .that had any thing to say to this world, -unless forced to stammer out something by way of getting a living; Oh ! happy that th(! world is such an excellent listener! Now, the spouting canal of the'Sperrn Whale, chiefly intended as it is for the conveyance of air, is for several, feet laid along, horizontally, just beneath the upper surface of hishead and a little to one side; this ( j2u,risiuu,eiio«i. Je very .mqetolllc^a^i^I'p^'laiaubwn in a city qn one side of the street. But the question returns whether this gas-pipe is a water-pipe ; in other words, whether the spout of the Sperm'Whale is a mere vapor or the exhaled breath, or wheth- er the exhaled breath is mixed with water taken in at the mouth, and discharged through the spiracle. It is certain that the mouth indirect- ly communicates with the spouting canal; but it cannot be proved that this is for the purpose of discharging water through the spiracle.— Because the greatest necessity for so doing would seem to be, when in feeding he accidentally takes in water. But the Sperm Whale's food is far beneath the surface, and there he cannot spout even if ho would. Besides, if you regard him very closely, and time him with your watch, j.you will find that when unmolested, there is an undeviating rhyme between the periods of his jets and the ordinary periods of respiration. But why pester one with nil this reasoning on the subject 1 Speak out 1 You have seen him spout; then declare what tho spout is; can you not tell water from air? My dear sir, in this world it is not sn easy to settle these plain things. I have ever found your plain things the knot- tiest of all. And as for this whale spout, you might almost stand in it, and yet bo undecided as to what it is precisely. The central body of it is hidden in the snowy sparkling mist enveloping it; nnd how can you certainly tell whether any water falls from it, when always, when you are close enough to a whale to get a close view of his spout, he is in a prodigious commotion, the water cascading all around him. And if at such times you should think that you really perceived drops of mois- ture in the spout, how do you know that they fjire not those identical dropssuperficiolly lodged in the spout hole fissure, which is countersunk into the summit of tho whale's hend ? For even when tranquilly swimming through the mid-day sea in n calm, with his elevated hump sun dried as \a drutnedary's in tho desert; even then, the whale always carries a small basin of water on his head, as under a blazing sun you will some- times see u cavity in a rock filled up with rain. Nor is it at nil prudent for tho hunter to be over curious touching the precise nature of the whale spout. It will not do for him to be peer- ing into ir, nnd putting his face in ir. You can- not go with your pitcher to his fountain and fill ir, and bring it away. For oven when coming in slight enntact with the outer, vapory shreds of the jet. which will often happen, your skin -will fi-v^rishly smart, from the aTidness of the thing so touching it. And I know one, who coming into still closer contact with the spout, whether with some scientific object in view, or otherwise, I cannot say, iho skin peeled off from his cheek and arm. Wherefore, among whale men, the spout is deemed poisonous; they try to avoid it. Another thing; I have heard it said, and 1 do not much doubt it, that if the iet is fairly spouted into ynur eyes, it will blind you. The wisest thing the investigator can do then, it seems to me, is to let this deadly spout alone. Still we can hypothesize, even if we cannot prove and establish. My hypothesis is this :— that the spout is nothing butmist. And besides other reasons, to this conclusion, lam impelled, by considerations touching the great inherent dignity nnd sublimity of the Sperm Whale ; I account him no common shallow being, inas- much as it is an undisputed fact that he is never found on soundings, or near shores; all other whales sometimes are. He is both ponderous and profound. And I am convinced that from the heads of all ponderous profound beings, such as Pluto, Pyrrhn, the Devil, .Tupiter, Dante, and soon, there always goes up a certain semi- visible steam, while in the not of thinking deep thoughts. While composing a little treatise on Eternity, I had the curiosity to place a mirror before me; antl ere long I saw reflected there, a curious involved worming nnd undulation in the atmosphere over my head, the invariable moisture of my hair 7 while plunged in deep thought, after six cups of hot tea in my thin shingled attic, of an August noon ; this seems an additional argument for the above supposition. And how nobly it raises our conceit of the mighty, misty monster, to behold him solemnly sailing through a calm tropical sea; his vast, mild head overhung by a canopy of vapor, en- gendered by his incommunicable contempla- tions, and that vapor—as you will sometimes see it—glorified by a rainbow, as if Heaven it- self had pnt its seal upon his thoughts. For, d'ye see, rainbows do not visit the clear air, they only irradiate vapor. And so, through all the thick mists of the dim doubts of my mind, di- vine intuitions then shoot, enkindling my fog with a heavenly ray. And for this I thank God ; for all have doubts ;.many deny : but doubts or denials, few along with them have intuitions. Doubts of all things earthly, and intuitions of some things heavenly ; this combination makes neither believer nor \infidel but makes a man who regards them both with equal eye.

A lady, 27 years of age, under the effects of a terrible hemorrhage, ex- hibited all the characteristics of approaching death, which succeeded the loss of blood. Dr. Delorme suggested the idea of a transfusion of blood. The remedy was regarded as hazard- ous, but under the desperate circumstances of the case, justifiable ; and it was adopted.— Dr. DeGranges, surgeon at the Hotel Dieu, un- dertook the operation; and an officer of the in- stitution offered to furnish from his own veins the requisite blood. A syringe was prepared to receive the blood to be injected into the veins of the dying woman. The syringe, being filled with about 200 grammes of the borrowed blood was plunged into warm water, of a temperature somewhat above that of the blood in circulation. A vein in the arm of the patient was chosen as the most convenient for receiving the injr-ction. This vein having been opened, a fine tube was introduced, adapted to the syringe, and throogh this the vivifying fluid was carefully forced into the exhausted bloodvessels of the now senseless w'oftinn. Almost immediately she began to re- vive, feeling, as she afterwards described it, nn agreeable warmth distributed throughout her body. Consciousness soon returned, nnd in the course of an hour or two there was so lively and and intense a reaction as to excite considerable anxiety among the medical attendants; The patient, however, continued to improve, and at the last accounts—the 1st of November—the most confident hopes were entertained that the experiment would be completely successful.

It adds another instance to the many thousand of self-made men, and also a beautiful commentary upon the principle at the basis of our republican government, where wealth, honor, position, and preferment, are all open to the enjoyment of the humblest citizen of ihe country, and accessible to all who right- ly seek, and really deserve them.— Lockvorl, ill., Tel. All the Fun is not Human. A very interesting book on the «• Passions of Animals,\ shows that there is morescope in the life and sensations of birds and beasts, than we commonly suppose: \ Small birds chase each other about in play, but perhaps the conduct of the crane and the trumpeter is the most extraordinary. The latter stands on one leg, hops about in the most eccentric manner, and throws somersetts. The Americans call it the inad tird, on account of these singularities. The crane expands its wings, runs round in circles, leaps, and, throw- ing little stones and pieces of wood in the air endeavors to catch them again, and pretends to avoid them, as if afraid. Waterbirds, such as ducks and geese, dive after each other, and clear the surface of the water with outstretched neck and flapping wings, throwingnn abundant spray around. Deer often engage in a sham battle, or a trial of strength, by twisting their horns to- gether, antl pushing for the mastery. AH ani- mals that pretend violence in their play, stop short of exercising it; the dog takes the great- est precaution hot to injure by his bite; and the ouraiig outnng, in wrestling with his keeper, at- tempts to throw him, .and makes feint of biting him. Some animals carry out in their play the semblance of catching their prey ; young cats, for instance, leap after every small and moving object even to the leavesstrewed by the autumn wind ; they crouch and steal forward, ready for the spring, the body quivering, and the tail vi- brating w:lh emotion, they bound on the moving Ifeaf, and again spring forward at another.-— Rengger saw young jaguars and cougars play- ing with round substances like kittens. Young lambs collected together^ oil the little hillocks and eminences in their pastures, race and sport with each other in the most interesting manner.

A convention of iron-workers, in the northern district of this State, was held at Keesville, Es- sex co., on the 7th ult. It was attended largely and by some of the most influental citizens of that seclion. Gen. Ross, of Essex, presided. The report of a business committee presents a statement of the extent of the iron interest rep- resented in the meeting, from which it appears there are in Essex, Clinton and Franklin coun- lies, two hundred forgo fires nnd six blastfurna- ces, which are capable of producing and did produce in 184G-7 from theore,hboutfifry thou- sand Ions of iron per annum, including both pig and wrought iron. That of Ibis the forges pro- duced about32,Q00 tons, which amounted to Si, 410,000. '1 lint the pig iron produced the same year was about 18.000 tons yearly, worth §30 net ton, and amounting to ^-54.00. That the I .yearly nr«<Wt« of nil »oMt Snif is -.onutantly diminished, amounting t„ only 12,'iuO tons' of wrought iron in 1851, worth only 525 per ton, and nig iron only $17 per ton, and amounting, in the whole to 8352,000. That of tho 200 forge fires, only about 90 are now in operation, and none of the furnaces aro now in blast.— That about 7,000 tons of the wrought iron aro used up by the rolling mills and nail factories there, which cannot he kept in operation by iron produced elsewhere. The owners of the iron-lnnds, forges nnd ma- chinery invested have, at least three millions of dollars\in their operations. The value of these investments has been reduced three-fort lis by the effects of the present tariff, and unless re- lief is by some means afforded, ihey will be al- together valueless. Not only so, but the labor- ers who have been employed in the works and in the various accessary operations of the iron manufacture, and farmers in that section will be deprived of the benefits of the extensive facto- ries located in a region of which they form the principle business resources. The convention passed resolutions in favor of a return to spe- cific duties as the best means of restoring prop- er protection to the iron interests of the State and counlry. It also resolved notio support for office hereafter any one who is not Jin favor of the specific and opposed to the advalorum. sys- tem of imposts. The Temptation t o be Acceptable. Tho charge delivered by Bishop M'llvane to the Episcopal clergy of Ohio, on \ Spiritual Re- generation with relerence to the present Times.\ directs attention to the following among other exposures of ihe ministry. Dwelling on the temptation to conceal or gloss over the doctrine of the new birth he says : \ That temptation becomes stronger in pro- portion as any congregation shall value the ac- ceptableness, more than the faithfulness oflheir minister, his ability to draw a crowded audience to his church, more than the tendency ofhis dis- course to lead sinners to Christ. It increases as the minister feels himself dependent on the good will and satisfaction of the wordly minded and uhconvertcd for the maintenance of his family. It increases as the zeal of the pastor is occupied more in endeavoring to swell the number of his hearers, nnd to lengthen the list ofhis commu- nicants, than in the training of his people in the knowledge of Christ and in the experience of his grace.\ Seldom have we met, says the Watchman & Reflector, with more practical and important truth expressed in fewer words. The growth of thetemptation of which Bishop M'llvane speaks, has been manifest within the pastfew years until it has in fact become powerful. Popular lec- tures and appliances for exciting attention hove come into so extensive use, the rage for the nov- el and the entertaining has become so general, that the ministry and the churches are plied with strong temptotiflns to vie in these matters with the world. The danger in the midst of all this is, that truth, ns always of the first importance, becomes secondary to success so called. The man of tact and of ex'pedicnts is likely, in such circumstances, to be more sought after than the man of real talent and true devotion who is \set for the defence of the Gospel.\ The minister and the ehurch are at this point nlike attempt- ed, the one to prove himself acceptable, the oth- er to have him so. He niust at all hazards suc- ceed. If in all, the paramount desire were to build up the cause of \ pure religion and unde- filed,'' turn men from sin to holiness, multiply and brighten the graces of Christain6, there would be less to deplore, If your flat-irons are rough, or smoky, lay a little fine salt on a flat surface, and rub them well; it will prevent them from sticking to any- thing starched, and make them smooth.

A., whom I think I mentioned in' iny last letter.— I did pot know at the time that the troops were, advancing to attpp'k ih e 'barricade at the Porte St. Detiis*. Nqt'being able to find my friend, I returned up the Rue. Vivieline, intending to go again on the boulevards, ? When I got to the top qf the street. I found a cordon of soldiers across it, who would not al- low any one to, come within 60 yards of them. Just about this time (half-past three o'clock) the firing recommenced in the Boulevards. Mont- -njffifti}' amtlSoi^fuijere }• and the sentries at tho top of the'Ruo Fivienne fireddelibemtely down the street at us. The rush was tremendous,; •but I got clear round a corner, and departed for my hotel as sqon as possible. I went out again afterward, and went to the bottom of the boule- vards near the Rue de H elder, to watch the fir- ing'. The regiments of the line fired at the windows of the boulevards for several hours, but I saw no lire returned from the windows.— I then went home to dinner. A. had not arriv- ed ; and we were hoping that nothing had hap- pened to him, when a woman rushed in, pale and trembling, and ashed for me. She had brought poor A.'s card ; he was lying wounded in a porter's lodge, in the Boulevard Montmar- tre. Of course I started immediately for the spot, I had\ much difficulty in. getting there, as ihe streets were all occupied by soldiers, but the officers were generally civil. When I got to the place, the Boulevard \Vas a ghastly sight.— There were no wounded, but the dead were ly- ing in dozens, most of them just as they fell, and the pavemenls were slippery with blood. They were almost all hourgeois and no:oum'era. Two or three women wele arranging some of the corpses, and placing candles at their heads, that their friends might recognize them. The soldiers were standing at eastt in the centre of the street, very quiet, but perfectly unconcern- ed ; there was not a living man lo be seen ex cepting them. I found pour A. in good spirits, but badly wounded. He described the whole thing as a wanton massacre. He was walking along the Boulevards in tho same direction us the troops, nnd when he heard the firing com- mence in the Porte St. Dennis he turned back, thinking it was no place for him. Almost at that instant the whole of the troops in the Boulevards, Monlmarlre and Poissun- niere, fired at the windows and at the people walking in the streets, who-were without arms and making no resistance. There were crowds of people at-the windows, hut few were hurt, as they had time to fall back when they saw the muskets go up. But for the promenaders in the streets there was no escape. The first bullet struck A. on the left hand, knocking off the forefinger j he then went down on one knee, and held up the other hand, hoping they would spare him. Another bullet struck him in the centre of the left shin, smashing the larger bone, and a dead man fell heavily acruss him. As ho lay on the ground, ho FOW t>no <^r twt» officers endeavoring lo vr.ahn ih*\ men ,ire at the win- dows, hut some continued to lire nt those on the ground. He managed to crawl into a porter's lodge, where the gale was open, and the women as- sisted him. He described it ns ti perfect Slorm of ball. Another bullet struck so close to him on the wall that it spattered and cur bis face like small shot. As ho lay in the lodge the women had to leave him and got to safer place, as the bullets were coming in there. The firing was kept up almost without ceasing for two two or three hours, although there was no resis- tance whatever. I never saw such wanton de- struction : tho fronts of the houses were per- fectly riddlerl with shot. Capt. William Jesse writes a similar arcount to theLondon Times. Tho following extract is shocking: At 2 o'clock, when approaching the extremity of the Rue Vivienne, 1 observed ihe troops pas- sing along the Bnulevauls, which they cleared, driving the people into the side streets, who ran down it crying out, \ Sauvcz vous.\ I sought refuge with my wife in a shop, nnd subsequently renched my own house. At 3 o'clock, returning from the place do la'Bourse, it WBB with the greatest difficulty I got back again. The guns had been distinctly heard for some time in the direction of tho Faubourg St. Denni . and the passage of troops that woy continued Torn quar- ter of an hour after I came back. Having writtais, I \went to the balcony at which my wife was standing, and rcmuined there watching tho troops. The whole Boulevard, as fur as the eve could reach, wascrowded with iheni. prin- cipally infantry, in sub-divisions at quarter dis- tance, with he-re and there a batch of 12-ponnd- ers and howitzers, some of which occupied the rising ground. Suddenly, and while I was intently looking at the troops in the distance eastward, a few musket shots were fired at the head of ihe col' umn, which consisted ofnbout3,0fl0 men. In a few moments itsprend und after hanging a little, came down the Boulevard in a waving sheet of flame. It was not till it came within fifty yards of mo that I recognized the sharp ringing report of ball-cartridge; but even then I could hardly believe the evidence of my ears, for as to my eyes, I could not discover an enemy to fire at, and I continued looking at the men until tho j company below me were actually raising their firelocks, and one vagabond, sharper than the, rest—a mqrelad—rhad covered me. In an in- stant I dashed my wife, who had just stepped back against the pier between the windows, when a shot struck the ceiling immediately over our heads, and covered us with dust and broken plaster. In a second after I placed her upon the floor.and in another a volley came against the I whole front of the house, tho balcony and win- dows ; one shot broke the mirror over the chim- nev-pjece, another the shadoof the clock ; cv- rypane of glass but qne was smashed, ihe cur- tains -and window-frames cut; the room, in short, was riddled. The iron balcony, though rather low, was a great protection, still five balls entered Ihe room, and in the pause for reloading I drew my wife to the door, and took refuge in the back rooms in the house. The rattle of muskfetry was in- cessantfor mgre-thab a quarter of an hour after this, and in a voty few minutes the guns were unlimbered and pointed at the magasin of M. Salandrouze, five houses on our right. What theobject or meaning of all this might be, was a perfect enigma Jo every individual in, the house. French or foreigner; some thought the troops had turned round and joined theJEteds; others suggested they must have beep fired upon sofriewhdre, though they certainly ha.d not from our house or any neurit, or we rpust haye seen it frorri the balcony.

There are some interesting passages in it. Whqn one of th.e newly appointed officers wished to, pay, his respects, to. Governor Young,, he refused to see him, alleging '-' that ho wisheu no introduction, for none but Mormons should Ijaye been appointed tp the offices of 'the terrf- ; qry,a.nd \ none others butd-,—d rascals would 'havecome there.\ There is nn nir of probability about this cqo- elusion of tho. governor's. The terms.qn -which the.se officers were tore-, main, wtere thus stated by Young : He announced to the immense masses who ns> sembled for worship, •* that he was not opposed- to the government t.f the tJnired States ; but it was the d. d infernal corrupt scoundrels uc rlie head of it.\ In speaking of the organisa- tion of the territory, nnd ihe officers, he ileclartd upon ihe stand, and to individuals, with great feeling. \ thntjie had governed that people for years, himself, and he could still rule (hem; that the United Stales judges might remain in the territory and draw their salaries, but they should' never try a cause if ho could prevent it.\ An- other speaker, high and inlliientiaMn the church;, encouraged by this determination of ihe exequ- - ' •' ' to ntfieera ., s «».jp y be- haved themselves and paid their boarding: -but if they did not, they (the Mormons) would kick iheni to hell, where they belonged.\ The insult- to the memory of Gen. Taylor, is related with the following addition : Upon a subsequent occasion, in reply to tho remarks made by one of the undersigned qpon the subject, before a large audience, the Gover- nor reiterated anddeclarcd, \ I did suy thut GeVi'. Taylor was deatl and in hell, and I fenow j/.\—- A man in the crowd, seemingly to give the Gov- ernor an opportunity of fixing iis truth, spokn out nhil, said i \How do you know it?\^rto which tho Governor promptly aiiswqreil, \Be- cause God lold me so.\ An ehjer in the church', laying his hand upon ihe shoulder of one ol tho undersigned, added, \ Yes, Judge, und yqu'll know it, too. for you'll see him when you get tliere.\ Anolher speaker, in a tirade against ihe gov- ernment, announced to the people, in the pres- ence of two of us, invited to take seals upon tho stand, that '• ihe laws und policy of the United States Were iliteuded to oppress the poor;\ that \the government of the United States was u stink in the nostrils of Jehuvnh, and no wonder the Mormons wished it down ; \ that •* they could save it by theocracy, but rather than snvo it it any other way, they would see it d- d first.\ Anolher one had declared •' that it was going to hell as fast as it could, and the sooner Ihe better,\ When one of the judges had a meeting to get a stone provided for the Washington monumepr, and endeavored to conciliate the people toward? the U. S. government i At the close of the address, the Governor arose and denounced the speaker with great violence, aj \ profoundly ignorant or wilfully wicked ;\— strode the stage, madly assuming various theat- rical attitudes, declared that he was a greater man than even George Washington ;\ that \ho knew more than ever George Washington did ; \ that \he was ihe man that could handle the sword ;\ and \ thut if there was any discussion, there w : ould bo pulling of hair ami cutting oF throats.\ Referring to the remark of the speak- er, \that theU.

But perhaps the richest passnge in this report U the following: We deem it our duty to slate, in this official communication, that polygamy, or \plurality of wives is openly avowed anil practiced in tho territory, under the sanction and in obedience to the direct commands of the ehurch.\ So uni- versal is this practice, that very few, if any, leading men in that community can be fonnd who have not moro than one wife csch, which creates a monopoly, and which was peculiarly hard vpon (lie qfiicers sent lo reside there. The report has a statcmont respecting tho murder of James Monroe : About the same time, a cool nnd deliberate murder was committed in the territory, up'on tho body of Mr. James Monroe, a citizen of the United States, from Utica, New York, on his way to Salt Lake City, by a member of ihe church, and the remains brought inlo the city --•' buried, without an inquest, ihe murderer and walking the streets afterwards, under the eye of the Governor, and in his society—some of the relatives of Ihe deceased residing there, and m-mbcrs of the church, afraid or declined to act. It was reported, and believed by many, tha'. die murder was counseled by the church, or some of i f leading members, and such nn impression would paralyse ihe hand of any one inclining to interfere. This rumor received much force fiom ihe intimacy between the offender and the lead- ing members of Ihe church, before and after tho commission of the offence. Ho was several weeks in the city, and unknown, as well as his location, to any of us; it was the common talk that he intendod to kill Mr. Monroe; ho was permitted to go out sixty or eighty miles lo meet Ins intended viclim.nnd none of these men who knew the fact, lifted an arm or a voice to pre- vent the deed. He met Monroe, who was un- armed, invited him out of his camp, took a seat and talked half un hour wil-h him, and then rose up and blew out his brains with a pistol. We have no doubt, however, that if be llnd beed tried, an entire equitlal would have followed ;— as was the resultin IT-ebrnary last, in ihe case of Dr. John B-. Vanghan, a citizen of Indiana, then on his way to California, and ihe murderer suf- fered to go unpunished. How riiany ol)ier crimes and ottenees were punished Or passed by, We know not. The Governor was ibus true to his declrration, that\ the United States Judgcij should never Iry a cause, if he could preyentit,'' for we had not un officer lo summon n. jury, or execute a warrant, subpoena, or any kind of pro- cess, except in cases where the United Stales was a party, when the Marohul would be bound, to act.
