A new Lord Mayor takes the . at least £20,000. Great SurgicaL Discovery.—L’Echo de Pacifique contains an interesting article, from which we trauslate and condease the . following statement : . Atarecent meeting of the Academy of . Sciences at Paris. M. d@’Arge reported that since the publication of the remarkable iovestigations by M. Floreus, upou the development of bones and teeth, that gentleman had continued to give the subject the clos. est attention, The result was the proof . that power of reproduction of boue exists in . the periosteum, and therefore that amputa. tious are worse than useless, His state, ments were doubted, but after many experiments upon animals, the truth of the theory was demonstrated by a successful experi. ment upon & man. Some time since a work. man suffered a comminuted fracture of the . leg by a fall of stones aud scaffolding upon jhim, It was thought that amputation would . be necessary ; but the condition of the suf. ferer was such that the doctors were obliged to relinquish the idea of an operation. . Happily, he was under the care of a man /who had confidence, first iu nature, aod . then in the possibility of the reproduction ) of the thigh, The only requirements for , Success were great precautions and time. Both were employed, and at the end of the preserved so that it was as serviceable as . it was before the accident. It was . shorter nor longer, notwithstanding that . many chips of the bone were extracted from the flesh, M. Flourens exhibited one . of the pieces, which was several centimetres jin length. Itvis expected that ere many . years are passed, no one will deny the re. producing power of the periosteum, and ampulations will never be made, or only . at leastio the rarest instances, . aetna en eee . Lorp Mayor axp Lapy Mayoress or . Lonpon.—The Lady Mayoress shares all . the honors which are showered upon her worthy husband; she isa genuine “lady” . for a twelve month, and perhaps for life, if . her basband bas the good luck to be honored with a visit from the Queen, on which occasion it is customary for the Lord May. or to be made a Baronet, while a couple of . Aldermen, at least, come in for the honors . of knighthood. Butif the Queen does not visit the city, the Lord Mayor descends at . For three hundred and sixty five days he is a Lord” and bis wife is'a “Lady ;’’ he goes to Court, and ison terms of good fellowship with royal princes, gartered dukes, and belted earis, and he has tae high honor and privilege of feasting the Corporation. His year of office over, he quits the Mansion House, returns to bis shop and apron, and is the same quiet aud bumble citizen he was before. Of course the shop and apron we bave mentioned in jest only. A man who cao aspire to the dignity of mayorality bas long ceased to be a salesman; he is a merchant prince, a banker, 4 millionaire. How else . could he afford the luxury of that expeng) sive dignity, especially since be cannot but . neglect bis business whilst in office ? He isin duty bound to spend the eight . it is highly meritorious in him if he spends . more.

Caucassian Civilization. The supremacy of the Caucassian race dates from the earliest historical times, 1t is the only branch of the human family . which bas ever originated a progressive civilization. Nay, I believe that if our kaow!edge of the remote were nearer, we should find that the civilization of all other races sprung from it, and that the rise and fall of aucieot empires were but the successive steps by which it rose, The light of civilization, ia the course of four thousand years, bas been handed from one tribe to another, bat it has always remained in the possession of some family. Some scholars talk of accidental advantage, There is no such thing ns accident in the divine government of the world. If all history were blotted out, physiology alone would prove the supremacy of the Caucassian. And the experience of all travelers is, that this supremacy naturally and instinctively felt and ac. knowledged by all other races, with the exception, perhaps, of the Mongolian, who are . too conceited to allow their inferiority in ay ae, Captain Cochran, in Siberia, not only _trayeled in safety among the savages, but was also well paid for giving them bis blessing as that of a superior being. I have understood that Barrett, Barton, and Da . Chaillu penetrated the wildest recesses of . Africa, the natural superiority of their char. . acter being an invulnerable shield, No one supposes that a Malay, Mongolian or American Indian could safely accomplish the same, Whether this development of civilization is occasioned by, or independent of climate, . we fiod it, with very few exceptions, existing in the zone of mean temperature, It bas marched from east to west, sending off branches north aad south, but not deviating generally in its course from the central por. tion of the temperate zone—the gules . mean between the two extremes of heat and cold, It is, therefore, to be inferred that ; . belt of climate is most favorble to buman . development and progress, _ The Egyptian monarchy was formerly . considered as forming an exception to this claim, Later researches prove that they were a braneh of the Caucassian family. Even the Ethiopians, down at latitude fifteen notwithstanding their durk complexion, . have straight bair, and are not like the negro race, The complexion of the old Egyp, tian was brown, the bair straight, and the hose prominent. I saw a mummy of a princess whose bair was dark browa with a sight . auburn tinge, Tbe color of the complexion may be modified by climate, but the form of the features is not chasged, Thus, the Arab in . the valley of the Nile, is very dark, but he bas the same eagle’s beak ofa nose, the . Same thio nostrils and narrow jaws, . _ Egypt lies in the temperate zone, according to geography, but its climate is considered trophical. Owing to the dryness of . the air, ithasa bracing vital character which we never find under the equator, Dariog the winter the thermometer falls low . enough to make cold very perceptible. . have seen it at Thebes within eight degrees of the freezing point, In January, 1858, snow fell all through the desert, and in the old Arab records there are even accounts of the Nile being frozen over, Thus, while the palm and banana flourish in their conntry, itcan scarcely be considered @ tropical climate, We may, therefore, claim that every important triamph since the creation of man belongs to the Caucassian race, And, (if we except the Phocenicians, who cannot positively be claimed, because we do not know enough about them) every form of reasonable religion and code of moral and . social law, originated from the same race. . Buddism, Brahminism, the system. of the Zoroaster, Grecian mythology, Judaism, Christianity and Mobammedism, were first _made known through the varions Caucassian branches, The race has not only been chosen, ia the providence of God, as the fitAs the Cenfederacy includes in its total . test for receiving and disseminating his population of 5,100,000 no less than 1,050,000 who are pledged to repudiation, it is . difficult to understand the possibility of such . an amount being raised in home or foreign . markets, The feeling is increased by the have signified their . first President. This personage has long . been regarded as the apostle of repudiation, and the bolders of Mississippi bonds have reason to remember his celebrated speech, delivered witbio the Legislative ball, built by British money, in which he ridiculed the ‘crocodile tears’ of the dupes who had ventured to petition for payment of their claime. AN Arrican Lron.—The Canadians are eternal truths, but it has also given rise to all other religious creeds which rest on a moral and philosophical basis, It bas developed government, laws, arts, sciences, languages, literature; has discovered aud subjugated the latent forces of nature, bas goue often beyond the earth, and measured the stars in their courses, and only paused on the brink of that awfal inflaity which is the veil covering the countenance of God. ARIZONA AND Swcession.—To-day (April Sth) is set apart, says the Bulletia’s corres pondent at Tucson, by the Mesilla Convention for voting upon their secession resolu. tions. I bave before asserted that the Pacifle slope of this country had no sympathy with this movement, and the fact is evident, in there being no polls beld at thie place, orany otverin this county. Arizona is lionizing the negro Anderson, who murder. opposed to secession, whatever to the coned a white man and ran away from Missouri, and was lately set at liberty in Canada. He bas been put to School under negro instruction, and lately attempted to make an . what he intended to say.’ After ‘ training, he is to be taken to England. . rary thay be asserted by interested politicians and restless demagognes. I even . have grave doubts that the people of Mesil, 1@ will indorse the action of the Convention; address ata public meeting, bat “forgot . but if they do, we repudiate their action as proper far as it extends A to the Pacifle slope of Arizona. oe am SOR NERS IS I.
