Rie het, WHOLE NUMBER 391, Orleans Delta that forty passengers by the unfortunate steamer Central America are now detained in Cuba prevented from leaving in consequence of the stringent Quarantine regulations. We hope the statement will prove to be correet. Great Fire at Chicago.—A fire oceurred at Chicago which destroyed property to the amount of $600,000 on which there was insurance of about $300,000. Four men were buried beneath the ruins of the building andit was feared that others had met with a similar fate. Mexican Affairs.—Capt.

Additional.— Central America.—F rom the Panama Star of the 31st ult. we learn that Costa Rica has commenced a blockade of the San Juan River—using the small river steamers for that purpose and that no boats were permitted to ascend the river. The object of this offensive act on the part of Costa Rica is not stated. A private letter from San Juan states that troops had been ordered by Costa . Rica to fort St. Charles.

A horse was stolen the same night below Rougk & Ready. TerRiBLE FuN.—Two cousins named Ww Rogers & I’. Barber ¢ame to Nevada from Grass Valley with a load of produce on Monday last, which they disposed of and returned in the evening.— . Both learned of the events of the day before, recounted in the preceding item. On their way one of the cousins jumped from the wagon and went on ahead.— Thinking it a good time to test the courage of his conrpanion he concealed himself in the chapparel by the road side, and when thé team came along he leaped out and climbing up the wagon, with a counterfeit voice demanded the The latter had been thinking of the robbery of purse of his cousin or his life. the pedlar ashe rede along atone, and having a hatchet in the wagon he placed iton the seat by his side. 3t being dark, no sooner than he heard the demand of a supposed robber than he seized the hatchet and buried it in his face, . inflicting a most horrid wound extendThe ing across tlre mouth. mistake i then became known and the poor fellow was taken to Grass Valley, where he is now Lying in a fair way of recovery. Suspicious.—The driveron the R & Ready stage came dashing into that place this morning with an agitated countenance, and declaring that a quantity of powder had been flashed under We learned from a very intelligent gentlehis stage near the Ohio House man of Grass Valley that the notorious Jim Webster has béén seen by several at that place whose statements’ are enThe powder plot is rather suspicious when he is about. titled to credence. Fire.—The cry of fire was raised at about S$o’clock on Saturday morning last. It was found to come from a house of dubious repute adjoining the Yankee Blade Hotel on Commereial st. From some fault in the chimney, sparks were communicated to a bed and the lining to the room which were ¢onsiderably scorched. No damage of consequence. There has been an alarm or two of fire other than thissince, in a China house, but nothing has been destroyed of value. Nor So.—The Amador Ledger speaks of a certain shaft, 300 feet deep, as“ being in all probability the deepest shaft in the State.” Notso. Mr. Sites sunk a shaft near Weaverville, a year or two since, to the dept of upwards of ; with him, before he can rule a wife and . certain tricks. . present its lips fur its keeper’s kiss. . plorer of the sea-board treasures of Cal. . fellows will skulk beyond the rocks ad. easily becomes his prey. The Indians {put in dead we should have to get in . tion of air. Tue Hair Sean or rug: Pacific.— The seal, with which the coast of California abounds, isthe Poca Jubata of naturalists. It is’ generally known. as the “hair seal,” and is by no. méans rare, ag almost all the costs in high southern and northern latitudes, abound with it. ‘’o the Laplander it is “meat, diink, clothing, ete. ‘l'o.the Indians of Behring’s Straits and Kamschatka it is most valuable; in fact they could hardly exist without it. Far away in those inhospitable regions, where winter reigns three-fourths of the year, no timber can be obtained sufficiently large to build a canoe; but witha few seal skins, anda little whale-bone, the Indian will eonstruct one of the most perfect life-boats inthe world. In this he will fearlessly venture miles from the land to catch fish and seals,ay, eventhe whale. ‘Fhese canoes are diflicult to manage to those who are unacquainted with them. It requires no small degree of practice, even in the Kamschatkan, in a rough sea to keep such a boat alive. He is . not allowed to marry unless he have the ability of so making and guiding them. So itis make a canoe, guide a cance, have @ wife. Indeed his canoe isall to him—his house, his clothes, his furniture, his food—tor without it, his shores, prolific in fish, would be useless. The countenance of the hair seal . bears the impress of great sagacity. Its full round beautiful eye indicates even an intelligence rarely to be found in any other inhabitant of the waters. This was remarked by the ancient historian Pliny. He gives an amusing account. of one that was easily taught to perform It would salute visitors freely, and would answer to its name when called. Cuvier narrates of one that Le saw, that it was made to stand erect on its tail,and hold a staff between . its flippers, like a sentinel on duty. It would tumble heels over head when desired, give a flipper to be shaken and Capt. Russell, the traveler and ex. ifornia, says, that if is most amusing . . = . ee sometimes to se@ the content of these animals with the Coast Indians ‘Fhe jacent to some gently sloping sand . banks, and when the shoal has become dry by the receding of thé tide, they . front the body of seals and interpose their return to the water; cach selecting as his prey the biggest and most powerful: Catching hold of the tail-tlipper, the animal scaffles along the sand, dragging along after bim the Indian, who with a tight grip follows, until by ploughing a deep furrow with his feet, leanmg back, aud with all his strength resisting the powerful proZress of the animal, both come to a dead stand. — Ph? animal's side-flippers are then tied by another party, and the poor beast show barbarous cruelty in preparing them for food, or for blubber. A huge fire is made ina jarge flat hole in the ground, and the poor beasts are hurled in and: roasted alive. ‘We have no other way,” said they, ‘of singeing or scorching off their hair. If they were the fire ourselves to turn them, but being alive they spare us the trouble, and turn themselvés when one side is singed sufficiently.” : The whole tribe possess remarkable peculiarities of respiration and cireulation of blood. he interval between their respirations is very long. A full grown animal can remain under water without requiring a fresh inspiration, for upwerds of half an hour. They can open and elose at pleasure, for these purposes, their valvular nostiils in a surprising degree, eating their food all the time under water with perfect enjoyment. Their breathing is remarkably slow, and very irregular. After opening the nostrils and making a long expiration, the creature inhales air by a long inspiration, and just before diving, closes its nostrils as tight as any mechanical valve. In confinement they have been observed to remain asleep, with the head under water, for an hour fresh iuhalaNaturalists account for this at each time, without any . power by the animal’s possessing a great venous canal in its liver, which assists itin diving, so that their repiration is somewhat independent of the circulation of the blood.—Hutching’s California Magazine. Mr. Weesrer addsin a note to his . Letter to the citizens of Newburyport an extract from a private letter trom one of the most distinguished men in England, dated as tate as the 29th of January. “Religion is an excellent thing in every matter except in politics. There it seems to make men mad, and I do not know of any people more mad than the anti-slavery people on your side of the water and on vurs. Up to the present time I have no doubt they have aggravated ¢very evil they have endeavored to mitigate or prevent. If you tell one of them what has been the result of his efficiousness, he angwers ‘Liberavi animam meam,’ may have done wiong, but I shalt go to Heaven for it. So [believe that your abolitionists have made the state of the slave, and still more that of the free black, much worse than it would have been; and probably in many States, that of Virginia, for instance, have retarded mie enfranchisement. But they care little if they save their own souls. On the other hand, the Southerners seem as unreasonable ; to require California to accept slavery seems both wicked and unjust.’ } Tue Srepentr.—He that is well employed im his study, though he may seem to do nothing, does the greatest thing of all others; he lays down precepts for the governing of our lives, and the moderating of our passions; and obliges huwan nature, not only in the present, but in all succeeding genera. tions.—Seneca. ' . obsérved, both nose and . expression of countenance. Attiearor Sove.—The author of “Aneedotes of Professor Buckland,” tells the following story, iustrating thé force of imagination : ‘Buckland, the distinguished geologist, one day gave a dimer, after dissecting a Mississippi alligator, having asked:a good many of the most distinguished. of a 4 . . . his élassés to dine with him. His house and all his establishment were in good style and taste. His guests congregregated. The dinner table looked splendic, with glass; and plate, and the meal commenced with excellent soup. ‘ “How do you like the soup? askéa the’ doctor, after having finished “his own plate, addressing a famous gotrmand of the day. “Very good. indeed,” answered the other; “turtle, isit not? ET only ask beeause I do not find any green fat?’ The doctor shook his héad. . “IT think it has somewhat of a inusky taste,” said another, ‘not unpleasant, but peculiar.” “All alligators have,” replied Buekland, “the cayman peculiarly so.

Two or three . ran out of the reom. and enly those who had stout stomaé¢hsremained tothe close of an “excellent entertainment.” ‘See what imagination is,” said Buekland; “if I had told them it was furtle, or terrapin, or bird’s nest soup, salt water amphibia or fresh, or the gluten of a sea bird, they would have pronounced it excéllent, and their digéstion been none the worsé.

Tur Ausrratian Race—In. general, the Australian has the ¢olor and features of the Negro, but with hair instead of wool. The forehead, however, does not recede ike the negro, and the eye is more sunken and piercing; the lips are less uniformly thick, and the nosé ts less depressed. But in somé instances mouth were . wider; some individuals seen by our author ‘were of surpassing uglinéss; whibe . others, contrary to all anticipation, had the face decidedly fine; and several of the young womén hada very pleasing The. gen-; sometimes defective, seemed upon the average better than that of thé negro; and 1 didnot find the’ undue slenderness of limb which’ has’ commonly been attributed to the Ausq tralians, Strange as # may appear, I would refer to an Anstralian as the finest model of the human proportions IT have ever met with, in musculer development, combining perfect symmeétry, activity. and strength; while his head might have ¢oinparéd with an antique bust of a philosopher.” The aboriginal Australians have no proper form of “0% ernment, nor any idea of owership of land; both sexes (as might be expected) go entirely naked, They aré strictly in “the hunting state.’— Their ¢hief thought and care is to get enough to eat. In many déviéés they are exceedingly expert; as for instanéé in their mode of ascending trees, throwing the beoomerang,a missile which takes a curved course, and the managemént of their war wéapons. They reject alf innovations and all attempts at éivilization. Yet they acquire English very readily, and ‘a child educated at a school in Sydney showed inteléetual capacity equal in every réspect to that of his European companions.” The Australians are found only in New Holland and Tasmania, or Wan Diemén’s Land. Some probability ex {sts, however, of thére being a éolony (f them in Central Persia, where there is said to be a tribe of blacks with straight hair.—FVetcher eral form, though Omnisus INcipentT.—=Having an engagement to take tea with a friend a day or two since, 1 jumped into a Metropolitan railroad car, the sky threatening vain; it was well filled, but I made “rcom for one move.” I could not kelp but notice that the majouity of thé’ seate were occupied by mén, and that the half dozen ladies who had seats were handsomely dressed, magnificently toileted, good-looking young ladies; while some dozen calicoed and muslined shop girls were standing in the centre of the ear.

It requires no small degree of practice, even in the Kamschatkan, in a rough sea to keep such a boat alive. He is . not allowed to marry unless he have the ability of so making and guiding them. So itis make a canoe, guide a cance, have @ wife. Indeed his canoe isall to him—his house, his clothes, his furniture, his food—tor without it, his shores, prolific in fish, would be useless. The countenance of the hair seal . bears the impress of great sagacity. Its full round beautiful eye indicates even an intelligence rarely to be found in any other inhabitant of the waters. This was remarked by the ancient historian Pliny. He gives an amusing account. of one that was easily taught to perform It would salute visitors freely, and would answer to its name when called. Cuvier narrates of one that Le saw, that it was made to stand erect on its tail,and hold a staff between . its flippers, like a sentinel on duty. It would tumble heels over head when desired, give a flipper to be shaken and Capt.

A huge fire is made ina jarge flat hole in the ground, and the poor beasts are hurled in and: roasted alive. ‘We have no other way,” said they, ‘of singeing or scorching off their hair. If they were the fire ourselves to turn them, but being alive they spare us the trouble, and turn themselvés when one side is singed sufficiently.” : The whole tribe possess remarkable peculiarities of respiration and cireulation of blood. he interval between their respirations is very long. A full grown animal can remain under water without requiring a fresh inspiration, for upwerds of half an hour. They can open and elose at pleasure, for these purposes, their valvular nostiils in a surprising degree, eating their food all the time under water with perfect enjoyment. Their breathing is remarkably slow, and very irregular. After opening the nostrils and making a long expiration, the creature inhales air by a long inspiration, and just before diving, closes its nostrils as tight as any mechanical valve. In confinement they have been observed to remain asleep, with the head under water, for an hour fresh iuhalaNaturalists account for this at each time, without any . power by the animal’s possessing a great venous canal in its liver, which assists itin diving, so that their repiration is somewhat independent of the circulation of the blood.—Hutching’s California Magazine.

Letter to the citizens of Newburyport an extract from a private letter trom one of the most distinguished men in England, dated as tate as the 29th of January. “Religion is an excellent thing in every matter except in politics. There it seems to make men mad, and I do not know of any people more mad than the anti-slavery people on your side of the water and on vurs.

Attiearor Sove.—The author of “Aneedotes of Professor Buckland,” tells the following story, iustrating thé force of imagination : ‘Buckland, the distinguished geologist, one day gave a dimer, after dissecting a Mississippi alligator, having asked:a good many of the most distinguished. of a 4 . . . his élassés to dine with him. His house and all his establishment were in good style and taste. His guests congregregated. The dinner table looked splendic, with glass; and plate, and the meal commenced with excellent soup. ‘ “How do you like the soup? askéa the’ doctor, after having finished “his own plate, addressing a famous gotrmand of the day. “Very good. indeed,” answered the other; “turtle, isit not? ET only ask beeause I do not find any green fat?’ The doctor shook his héad. . “IT think it has somewhat of a inusky taste,” said another, ‘not unpleasant, but peculiar.” “All alligators have,” replied Buekland, “the cayman peculiarly so.

Two or three . ran out of the reom. and enly those who had stout stomaé¢hsremained tothe close of an “excellent entertainment.” ‘See what imagination is,” said Buekland; “if I had told them it was furtle, or terrapin, or bird’s nest soup, salt water amphibia or fresh, or the gluten of a sea bird, they would have pronounced it excéllent, and their digéstion been none the worsé. Such is prejudiée.” “Rut was it really an alligator ?” asked a Jady. : “As good a calf’s head as é¥ér wore a coronet,” answered Buckland. Tur Ausrratian Race—In. general, the Australian has the ¢olor and features of the Negro, but with hair instead of wool. The forehead, however, does not recede ike the negro, and the eye is more sunken and piercing; the lips are less uniformly thick, and the nosé ts less depressed.

In many déviéés they are exceedingly expert; as for instanéé in their mode of ascending trees, throwing the beoomerang,a missile which takes a curved course, and the managemént of their war wéapons. They reject alf innovations and all attempts at éivilization. Yet they acquire English very readily, and ‘a child educated at a school in Sydney showed inteléetual capacity equal in every réspect to that of his European companions.” The Australians are found only in New Holland and Tasmania, or Wan Diemén’s Land.
