pose of no longer withholding from our readers the

more generally and highly interesting discoveries which were made in tho lunar world. And for this purpose, too, we shall defer Dr. Grant's elaborate mathematical detail of the corrections which Sir John Ilerschcl Ins made in the best tables of the moon's tropical, siderial, and synodic revolutions, and of thoss phenomena of the syzpgies on which a great part of the established lunar theory depends. It was about half past nine o'clock on the night of the 10th, the moon having then advanced within four davs of her mean liberation, that the astrono-

tical phenomenon which you will find demonstrated

in Note 5. This afforded us the best landscape views we had, hitherto obtained, and although the.

accelerated ifiotion was rather too great, we enjoy

ed them with rapture. . Several of those fimous

valleys which are bounded by lofty hills of so per

fectly conical a form as to render them less like works of nature than art, passed the canvass before

we had time to check their flight; but presently a

train.of scenery met our eye, ot teatures so entirely novel, that Dr. Iferschel signalled for the lowest convenient gradation of movement. It was a lofly chiin of obelisk-shaped, or very slender pyramids, standing in irregular groups, each composed of about thirty or forty spires, every one of which was perfectly square, and as accurately truncated as the finest specimens of Cornish crystal. They were of a faint lilac hue, and very resplendent. I

now thought that we had assuredly fallen on

productions of art: but Dr. Ilerschel shrewdly

remarked that if the Lunarians could build thirty or forty miles of such monuments as these, we should ere now have discovered others of a less equivocal character. He pronounced them quartz formations of probably tho wine colored amethyst species, an'd promised us, from these and other proofs which we had obtained of the powerful action of the laws of chrystalizalion in this planet, a rich field of mineralogical study. On introducing a lens, his con

jecture was fully confirmed; they-were monstrous amethysts, of a diluted claret color, glowing in the intensest light of the sun! They varied in height from sixty to ninety feet, though we saw several of

a still more incredible altitude. I hey were observed in a snccession of valley3 divided by longitu

humid atmosphere in this planet. The moon being now low on her descent, Dr Herschel inferred that the increasing refrangibility oT her rays would prevent any satisfactory protraction of our laborsf and our minds being actually fatigued with the excitement of tho high enjoyment we had partaken, wo mutually agreed to call in the assistants at the lens, and reward their vigilant attention with congratulatory bumpers of the beast "East India Particular." It was not, however, without regret that we left the splendid valley of the red mountains, which, in compliment to the arms of our royal patron, we denominated

"the Valley of the Unicorn;'7 and it may uc iouna

From France. The arrival last evening of the packet ship Sylvio de Grasse, Capt. Wciderholdt, from 'Havre, has put us in possession of Paris papers to thc evening of July 11: the

Journals do not furnish any news of

interest. They, however, give copious details of thc manner in which thc state prisoners confined in St. Polagnie effected their escape. It is mentioned, as a matter of sufficient interest, at thc present moment, when thc eyes of all France arc directed to thc drama now acting in the

Chamber of Peers, that ten of thc

Peers who have sat in thc Chamber during the jroccs of April, have either had fathers or relations condemned

to death and executed thc result of

proceedings similar to those in which they were taking a part. Some disturbances had taken place at Saragosa,but they were not of as much political importance as it was endeavored to make them appear. A courier arrived int Bordeaux on the 10th, who tM.t i a ,i I

Pcrnambuco, July 11, 1835. This place has been thrown into considerable excitement in consequence of thc assassination of two persons in thc 'Tribunal de July.' while it was in session trying an important case, and tilled with people, some ruffian scoundrel discharged a pistol with the intention of killing thc Counsel of one of the parties, the ball of which almost instantly killed two innocent persons.

other eastern limb. i lie wiiote immense power

of his telescope was applied, and to its focal image about one half of the power of his microscope. On removing the screen of the latter, the field of view was covered throughout its entire area, with a beautifully distinct and even vivid representation ofbasaltic rock. Its color was a greenish brown,

and the width of the columns, as defined by their interstices on the canvas, was invariably twenty eight indies. No fracture whatever appeared in the mass first presented, but in a few seconds a

shelving pile appeared of five or six columns width,

which showed their figure to be hexagonal, and their artibutionals similar to those of the basaltic formations at Staffj. This precipitous shelf was profusely covered with a dark red flower, '4precisely similar (says Dr. Grant) to the Papaver Rhoeas,

or rose poppy cf our sublunary cornfields: and this was thc first organic production of nature in a foreign world, ever revealed to the eyes of men." The rapidity of the moon's ascension, or rather of the earth's diurnal rotation, being nearly equal to 500 yards in a second, would have effectually

prevented tho inspection or even the discovery of

objects so minute as these, but for the admirable mechanism which constantly regulates, under the guidance of thc sextant, the required altitude of tho lens. But its operation was found to be so consumately perfect, that the observers can detain the objects upon the field of view for any puriod they might desire. The specimen of lunar vegitation, however," which they had alreaby seen, had decided a questiou of too exciting an interest to

induce them to retard its exit. It had demonstrated that tho moon has an atmosphere constituted n!milir1 f n nnrnvun fm rn f !f rF ensta Inlnrr nr.

j 7 j , The basaltic rocks continued to pass over the inclined canvas plane, through three successive diameters, when a vacant declivity, of great beauty, appeared, which occupied two more. This was preceded by another masj of nearly the former height; at the base of which they were at length delighted to perceive that novelty of a lunar forest. "The trees," says Dr. Grant, "for a period of ten minutes, were of one unvaried kind, and unlike any I have seen, except the largest class of j'ews in tho English churchyards, which they in some ;

respects resemble. These were followed by a level green plain, which was measured by the painted

circle on our canvas, of 49 feet, must hive been more than a mile in breadth, and then appeared as fine a forest of firs, unequivocal firs, as I have ever seen in my native mountains." Wearied with the continuance of these, we greatly reduced thc magnifying power of the microscope, without eclipsing either of the reflectors, and immediately perceived that we h id been insensibly descending, as it were, a mountainous district of highly diversified and romantic character, and that we were on the verge of a lake, or inland sea, but of what relative locality or extent, were yet loo greatly magnified to determine. On introducing the feeblest achromatic lens wo possessed, we found that the water, whose boundary we had just discovered, answered in general outline to the Mare Nubiuni of Riccoli, by which wo detected that instead of commencing, as we supposed, on the eastern longitude of the planet,

some delay in the elevatiou of the great lens, had

thrown us nearly upon .tho axis ot her equator. However, as she was a free couutry, and we not, as yet, attached to any particular province, and more

over, since we could, at any moment, occupy our

intended position, we again slid in our len

sea to survey the shores of the .Mares Nu-

bium. Why Riccoli so termed it, unlcs in ridicule of Clethenes, I know not; for fairer shores angel never feasted on on a tour of pleasure.

A beach of brilliant while sand, girt with wild castellated rocks, apparently of green marble, varied at chasms, occurring every two or three hundred feet with grotesque blocks of chalk or gypsum, and feathered and festooned at the summits with tho clustering foliage of unknown trees, moved along the bright wall of our apartment till we were speechless with admiration. The water, wherever we

obtained a view of it, was nearly as blue as that of the deep ocean, and broke in large white billows upon the strand. The action of very high tides was quite manifest upon the face of the cliffs, for more than a hundred miles; yet, diversified as the

scenery was during this and a much greater disla nee we perceived no trace of animal existence, notwithstanding we could command at will a perspective or a foreground view of the whole.

Having continued this close inspection nearly two hours, during which we passed over a large tract of country, chiefly of a rugged, and apparently of a volcanic character, and having seen few additional varieties of vegetation, except some species of lichen, which grew every where in great abundance, Dr. Ilerchul proposed that we should take out all our lenses, give a rapid speed to the panorama, and search for soma of tho principal valleys known to astronomers, as tho most likely method to reward

our first niht'd observation with the discovery of

i -.i . f r i

which were probably iron pyrites. We found tli3t

these curiosities were situated in a district elevated

about half a mile above the valley of the Mare Fa

cunditalis, of Mayer and Riccioli; the shores of

which soon hove in view. But never was name more inappropriately bestowed. From "Dan to Bersheba," all was barren, berrcn, the sea-board was entirely composed of chalk and flint, and not a vistajje of vegetation could be discovered with our strongest glasses. The whole breadth of the northern extremity of this sea, which was about three hundred miles, having crossed our plane, we entered upon a wild mountainous region abounding with more extensive forests of larger trees than we had before seen the species of which I have no good analogy to describe. In general con

tour they tesemble our forest oak; but they were much more superb in foliage, having" broad glossy leaves like those of the laurel, and tresses of yellow flowers which hung, in the open glades,

from the branches to the ground. I hese moun

tains passed, we arrived at a region which filled us

with utter astonishment. It was an oval valley,

surrounded, except at a narrow opening toward

the south, by hills, red as the purest vermillion, and evidently chrystalized; for wherever a pre-

ciptous chasm was very frequent, and of im mense depth, the perpendicular sections pre sen

ted conglommerated masses of polygon crystals

evenly fitted to each other, and arranged in deep strata, which grow darker in color as they descended to the foundations of the precipices. Inumera-

ble cascades were bursting fourth from the breasts of every one of ihcso clifid, and so near their summits, and with such great force, as to form arches many yards in diameter. I never was so vividly reminded of Byron's simile, "the tail of the while horse in the Revelations." At the foot of this boundary of hills was a perfect zone of woods surrounding the whole valley, which was eighteen or twenty miles wide, at its greatest breadth, and

about thirty in length. Small collections of trees of every ' imaginable kind, were scattered about the whole luxuriant area; and here our magnifier blest our panting hopes with specimins of con

scious existence. In the shade of the woods on the

south eastern side, we beheld continuous herds of

brown quadrupeds, having all the external characteristics of the bison, but more diminutive than any species of the hos genus in our natural history. Its tail was like that of our bos grunniens; but in its ccrnicular horns, the hump on its shoulders, the depth of its dew lap, and length of its shaggy hair,

it closely resembled the species to which I first compared it. It had however, one widely distinctive feature which, we afterwards, found com

mon to nearly every lunar quadruped we have discovered: namely, a remarkable fleshy appendage over the eyes, crossing the whole breadth of the forehead and united to the ears. We could most distinctly preceive this hairy veil, which was shaped like the upper front outline of the cap known to the ladies as Mary Queen of Scot's cap, lifted and lowered by means of the ears. It immediately occurred to the acute mind of Dr. Ilerschel, that it was a providential contrivance to protect the eyes of the animal from tho great extremes of light and darkness to which all tho inhabitants of our

side of the moon are periodically subjected.

The next animal perceived would be classed on earth as a monster. It was of a bluish lead color, about the size of a goat, with a beard and head like him, and a single Aorn, slightly inclined forward from the perpendicular. The female was

destitute of the horn and beard, but had a much longer tail. It was gregarious, and chiefly abounded on the acclivitous glades of the woods. In elegance of symmetry it rivalled the antelope, and liko him it seemed an agile sprightly creature, running with great speed and springing from the green turf with all the unnaccoutable antics of a

young lamb or kitten. This beautiful creature af

forded us the most exquisite amusement. Tiie

evening, as the night boat George Washington was

jumped overboard and was drowned. A rope was .... i t

We subsequently learned that he purchased a viol of laudanum at a druggist's in Jersey City, the evening previous, which he fallowed, but by tho prompt assistance of a physician, it was removed from his stomach. He was evidently deranged. We regret to add that another case of suicideoccurred about half past 7 last evening, on boartf of the Essex steamboat, belonging to the sarno ferry. A genteel dressed man, apparently between 30 and 40 years of age, jumped overboard and was drowned, altho' every possible exertion was mado to save him. Ho was a stranger, and had on a dark colored surtoutcoat and white trowsers. iV. Y. Gazette.

similar to the American flag, only tho stripes arc;

Tho Alexandros was built for a brig of war, and is owned by her commander, who is a fine, stout looking, man, and arrests the attention of every one as he passes in the streets. This is not to be wondered at, unaccustomed as we are to the sight of petticoat trowsers, short jacket and red cap. Formerly, I beliei'e, the Greeks wore the turban; but since they have acquired their independence, the red cap with a tassel suspended from tho top is now universally worn. Tho officers and crew aro

On examining the centre of this delightful valley, we found a large branching river, abounding with lovely islands, and water birds of numerous kinds. A species of gray pelican was the ino3t numerous but a black and white crane, with unreasonably long legs and bill, were also quite common. We watched their pisciverous experiments a long time, in hones of catching sight of a lunar fish; but although wo were not gratified in this respect, we could easily guess the purjose with which they plunged th'jir long necks so deeply beneath thc

From the Georgetown (D. C.) 'Metropolitan. Beautiful Curiosity. There has been left at our office, for the inspection of the curious, a small enamel miniature of the most exquisite finish, whiclr was turned up with a hoc by a negro slave, on the farm of Mr. Villard, Westmoreland Co. Virginia. Our high curiosity was raised when we were confidently assured by the owner that a good jrJge had pronounced it an undoubted original ofSir Walter Raleigh, a supposition, which a moment's inspection

of the style and features, served us to disprove. It is the portrait of a man of quality of the last century, in the prime of life. The features are fair, and exceedingly handsome; the hair dressed "a la peruke," and highly powdered, with a bag. Thero is, on the head, a French grenadier cap, triined with gold and point lace, and the figure is enveloped in a rich manteau of yellow satin, tied in front with a black velvet bow, and splendidly embroidered with black satin, and pearls, as heralds would say, "en challop." The miniature is about the sizo of a half dollar, oral, and as a work of art, is of high value, the painting, enamelling, and finish, being of the rarest beauty. The colors are delicate, and as fresh as if painted yesterday. Wo take it to be the portrait of a French nobleman in his state robes,

and not withstanding its small size, there is an expression of character in tho featuies which is altogether inimitable, and argues the hand of a first rate artist. It was probably lost by an officer of that army during tho revolutionary war. It was found without setting of any kind in the forest land, which was then for the first time being put under cultivation.

Lrsrs Nature. Tho freaks of nature are sometimes most extraordinary, and become interesting in proportion to tho degree of aberration from her general laws. . The rarest instance of her frolics we have ever witnessed, is exhibited in the family of a Mr. Micheal Wallers, a poor but respect-

ablo citizen of this county. His family consists of eight children, four of whom aro tho most finished dwarfs we have ever se:ii, or heard any euihenlic account of. There ore two males and two females the height of the eldest who is a male and in his 25th year, is 3 feetG inches, and his weight til lbs. The other male is in his 9h vcar. and two

feet 7 and a half inches high, and ho weighs 21 lbs. Tho eldest female is in her IGih year, ami is two feet 1 1 inches high and weighs 27 libs. Tho other feinalo is in her eleventh year, is two feet II tfd a half inches high, and weighs 27 lbs. They are of fine proportion and handsomely formed thc head, hands, feet, limbs and bodies, all corresponding with the diminutiveness of their size. We understand they arc about travelling to gratify public curiosity, which is very great in rdl persons hearing of them passing thro1 thc country. Va. Argus
