WESTERN EMIGRATION. 'We have already suggested, that although every part of the western country is good, and some of it surpassingly excellent, a iarge portion of our people arc continually looking abroad for belter land.

The weather is dry, the sky serene and the atmosphere mild: the roads arc excellent, the corn is ripe, the cattle and hogs are fat, and the land teeming with abundance. It is the season in which the emigrant may travel with the greatest facility and cheapness. Vrc have seen them at this time of the year strung along the roads of Illinois, in such numbers that there seemed to be no end to the long cavalcade. Here little train of i drcn are stowed among the baggage the tall girls, and great muscular boys, each oi' the latter with a rifle on his shoulder arc strolling in the rear. They fire from Tennessee. At night they halt by a spring on the bank of the stream, a great fire is kindled, the beds and palates are spread upon-the ground, and after a hearty supper, the whole repose comfortably in the open air. There is another party, the men riding on horseback, the lemalcs are in carriages or on horses, and there is a train of negroes they are going to Missouri.

There is a band of a different character. Several families arc together not because misery loves company . for wretched as they seem, they arc as happy as others. They are all on foot, except a discreet matron, who is mounted on a lean poncy, with a child in her lap, and a half naked wicked boy behind. Their 'plunder' is carried on an ex-cart. They carry axes, guns and knives, and are a half-clad, hungry looking set, who, in Europe, if not taken up for robbers or gypsies would be arrested for the crime of poverty.

ANECDOTES OF ELEPHANTS. From a continuation of Capt. laryatt's "Diary of a Blase,1' in the July No. of the London Metropolian. When I was in India, I was very partial to these animals. There was a most splendid elephant which had been captured by the expedition sent to Martahan; he stood four or five feet higher than elephants usually do, and was a great favorite with his master the rajah. When this animal was captured, there was great difficulty in getting him on board the transport. A raft was made, and he was very unwillingly persuaded to trust his huge carcase up- . J 1 , tv -.t , . l! .CL on it; he was then towettou wun aaoutuuny oi me natives on the raft, attending him, the largest pur chases and blocks were procured to hoist him in, the main-yards doubly secured, and the fall brought to the capstern was manned, and high huge bulk was lifted in the air; but he had not risen a foot before the ropes gave way, and down he came again on the raa with a heavy surge a novelty which he did not appear to approve of. A new fall was rove, and they again manned the capstern: this time the tackle held, and up went the gentleman in the air; but he had not forgotten the previous accident; and upon what ground it is impossible to say, he ascribed his treatment to the natives who were assisting him on the raft. As he slowly mounted in the air, he looked abont him very wroth, his eyes and his trunk being the'only portions of his frame at liberty. These he turned about in every direction as he ascended: at last, as he passed by the main channels, he perceivncl thn hrilf nf r maintoD-sail yard, which had been carried away in the slings, lying on the goose-necks; n-non wnnnnn that Euitcd him admirably; he seiz ed hold of it, and whirling it once round with his trunk, directed the piece of wood with such good aim that he swept about twenty of tho natives off the raft, to take their chance wun a strong hub mm plenty of alligators. It was the self-possession of the animal which I admired so much; swinging in

He .'arrived and v. as li. embarked at Rangoon; and it was an amusement to me, whenever I could find time, to " watch this finin.al, and two ethers much smaller in size vvh were with him"; but he was my particular pet. , Prhaps the reader will like to Tj.tvc the diary of

nti elephant when not on active service. At what time animals et up who never lie down without being ordered, it is not very easy to say. The elephants are stalled at the "foot of some" large tree, which shelters thern during the day from the extreme heat of the sun; they stand under this tree, to which they are chained by their hind legs. Early in the morning, the keeper makes his appearance from his hovel and throws the respective keys down to the elephants who imnideiately unlock the padlocks of the chains, cast themselves loose, and in tho politest manner returns the keys to the keeper; they then march off with him to the nearest forest, and on their arrival commence breaking1 down the branches of thetrees, selecting these which arc most Agreeable to their palates, and arranging them in two enormous faggots. When they have collected ns much as they think they require, they make withes and bind up their two faggots, and then twist another to connect the two, so as to hang them over their banks down on each side, nnd having thus made their provision, tbcv return hamc: f I-. f-rtrxt-i r - r tT -v rv. r y -i -. .- - .- . . A ,.-" ... a , r n.i i ..v.i. .i" i Pi tuue present tlie key as before: thev tVi?n amue themsreiva with their repasts, eating all thel leaves and tender shoots, and rejecting the others. Now, when an elephant has had enough. to eat, he generally selects a long bough, and, pulling off all the lateral branches, leaves a bush at the end, ihrming a whisk, to keep ofrthe fiies and rnusquitoes; for although the hide ot the elephant is very thick, still it is broken into crannies and cracks, into w.ucu the vermin insert j themselves. Kernel. mcs they have the following ingenuous method ot tjefur.dii.g themselves against these tormentors: they put the end of their trunk down j ia the dur.t, draw up as large a quantity as they car., I I and, turning tne-r nead?, pour it out over their s'iin, ; powdering and filling up the interesticcs; after which they take the long branch as I have before mentioned, and amuse themselves by llipping it rigbt and left and in all directions about their bodies, wherever . the insects may settle. Hipping right and Happing left, evidently much anneyed by the persecution of the musquitoes by the way, no one can have an idea how hard the tier musquito ran bite. x win, nowever, give an mIII I. stancc of ilfor which I cannot positively vouch; but T r-v mnt T 1 1 1 rr rC wl.nn f r.ii-l !- . A we were on a boating expedition, a marine who, to keep his charge dry, had his fore-linger inserXed in the barrel of his musket, pulled it out in a great hurry, exclaiming to his comrade, ".May I be shot, Bill, if c::e of tbem heogers hav'nt bit me right through the barrel of my mucketf This par pareutheso, and now to proceed: As I said before, tue oloplnnt showed, by constant flagelUtion ot unperson that he .was much annoyed by his nersecuiros; an just at that time, the keeper .. . geuuy Kunung u. inn. imnp i miian in;:, ana driving away every imisrp.to wlnc.i came near it; - !-' . !. !:. .

Hero was a monster, whose bulk exceeded that of the infant by at least, ten thous.iTid times, acknowledging that the image of his .Maker, even in its lowest dcirree of perfection, was divine silcnt.lv proving the truth of the sacred announcement, that . S II . -' him. As I am on the subject, I mny as well inform ?ny readers how and in what way this elephant and I parted company, for it was equally characteristic r.f the animal. The army was ordered to march, and the elephants were railed into requisition to carry the tents. The Quarter Master General the man with four eyes, as the natives called him, because he wore spectacles superintended the landing of the animals. Tent upon tent was heaped upon my friend who said nothing, till at last he found that they were overdoing the thing, and then he roared out his complaints, which the keeper explained; but there was still one more tent to be carried, and, therefore, as one more or less could make no difference, it was ordered to be put upon his back; the elephant said no more, but urned sulky enough was as good as a feast with him, and he considered this treatment as no joke. Now it is so happened that at the time the main street, and the only street of the town, which was at least half a mile long, was crowded to suffocation with tatoos,and small oxen, every one of them boaded with a couple of cases of claret, or brandy, or something else, slung on each side of them, attended by coolies, who, with their hooting, and pushing and beating, and screaming, created a very bustling and lively scene. When the last tent was put on the elephant he was like a mountain, with canvass on each side of him, bulging out to n width equal to his own; there was just room for him to pass thtough to two; rows of house on each side of the 6treet, and not ten inches to spare. He was ordered by the keeper to go on; he obeyed the order certainly but in what way! he threw his trunk up in the air, screamed a loud shriek of ind5rnatiau. and set oi at a trot, which was about equal in speed to a horse's gallop, right down the street, mowing down before him every poney, bullock and cooley that barred hi3 passage! The confusion was indescribable; all the little animals were with their legs in the air; claret and brandy poured in rivuletsdown the street; coolies screamed aa they threw themselves into the doors and windows; and at one fell swoop the angry gentleman demolished the major part of the comforts of the officers, who were little aware how much they were to sacrifice for tho sake of an extra tent. With my eyes I fol lowed my friend in his reckless career, until he was enveloped and hid trom my view m a ciond ot oust, and that was my farewell of him. I turned round, and observed close to me the Ciuarter-Master General, looking with all his four eyes at tho effects of his inhumanity.

Sad havoc was likewise made with the windows in the vicinity, and it was estimated that between 2 and 3000 panes were broken; and in many instances the sashes and all were broken to pieces and driven in. When we first arrived at the scene of action, the masts, sails and rigging of the schooner were completely enveloped in llames! One of the adiacent vessels were also on fire, and there was no possible way that we could imagine, the vessels being hard and fast aground, of preventing a wide spreading and ruinous conflagration.

Boston Gazelle The Copper Coins of Brazil. We observed it stated in one of the New York pnpnrs, that tho parcel of copper coins seized in New York on their way to Brazil, amounting to near a lialfa million of dollars nominal amount, were intended to be silvered over afier their arrival in Brazil. This idea probably arose from the impression that so large an amount in copper could not readily bo put in circulation, but we apprehend it is a mistaken one. In BrRz-l it is no uncommon thing lo seo a' payment ofa thousand dollars mode in copper. The quantity in circulation throughout the Empire amounts many millions of dollars, a large part of which is manufactured in private mints at home, and a large p-irt by foreign mints abroad. The government itself originated the fraud by importing from England copper in sheets cutting it into pieces, stamping upon them a nominal value equal probibly to three times the worth of the copper, arid lh'-ri putting it info circulation. The enormous profits made upon this operation excited tho competition of private coiners, who could aflord to give as good weight and as good mHal ns the genuine coins coniained,and fhc consequence ws that an immense amount of spurious money was put in circulation, which could not bo distinguished from the genuine, and which was'' in fact of so much intrinsic'valne. If governments do not wish to have their coins counterfeited, they should act honestly themselves, by not giving lo the metal a fictitious value. It is a pity that onr laws aro so imperfect as to enabtc the fabricators of counterfeit money to crry on their operations in our country. The laws of Brazil are severer upon those whoare'dctected in their importation, and the notoriety given to tho discovery referred to, will place some people's necks injcopardy,if theydq not take warning in time.
