Sever*! distinguished members of the Russian imperial family are at present staying in the beautiful watering-place at Torquay. His imperial highness the young Prince Etigeno, lives with his brother, Pri?ce Nicholas, at the .^i|>)la Syraeusa; and U'c Grand Duchess Mario, the young | Prince Seme and George, with the suitp, | occupy a mansion called the ,-Covc." The ' Distance between the two places is about a third of a mile. The Pri'icc Eugene, who is about fo-ineen 3*ear.s of ago, was returning from a visit to his mother, the Grand Duchess, to his own residence, which adjoins that lately occupied by the Prince of the Netherlands, and is at the foot of dad lyliole Plain, which is much ! frequented by the gentry occupying the ! surrounding villas. The Prince,, who was unattended, was here overtaken by a man, , described by his highness as possessing a ( foreign appearance, not very tall, with j sandy hair, and who he thinks, was a Pole. This fellow who was armed with a walking stick, advanced toward the Prince,' and without saying anything, struck him a violent blow on the arm.? VV hftl.Knr !l???

Central IIeat of the Earth.?The 1 rate ot increase or heat is equal to ono degree of Fahrenheit for every forty-five feet of descent. Looking to the result of such a rate of increase, it ia easy to see that at seven thousand and ninety feet from th? surface the surface the heat will 'reach two hundred and twelve degrees, the" boiling point of water, At twenty-live thousand five hundred feel it will mtjlt lead J^t seven miles it will maintain a glowing red heall twenty-ono miles melt gold; at seventy-four miles east iron ; ninety-seven miles soften iron; and at one hundred miles from tho surface all will be fluid as water, a mags of seething and boiling rdck in a perpetually molton state, doomed possibly rifcver to be cooled or crystalized." The heat here will exceed any with which man is acquainted; it will exceed the heat of the electric spark or the effect of a continued voltaic current.

The floorskate is simply a frame"of ornamental iron, nearly the shape and size of the wood part of the common skate, with, instead of the .Meel runner, four rollers or wheels of crnitu perclia, measuring about three inches in eir- | cumfprt-nce, each of which revolves on n separate axle ;^these rollers of course, rest on the floor, and turn with the movements of the skn(er. skate is strapped to the foot in a manner similar lo th.? ice skate, with wide leather-bands, superior in every respect to the common strap.

Ilis very pre, Pence is felt as a cloud, an incubus, an ieoI berg; and tliere is only gladness when lie | is gone ; it is then only it at the sunshine . of family affection and love comcs out, and I filial and motherly sympathies swell up : fiotn loving lieai ts. To meet, nl llm Krool.-f.icf f..i1. - ?v..?..wm .iwk, .n.nri, mother, child run, all well, ought to be a happiness to any heart ; it should be. a source of humble gratitude, and should wake up the warmest feelings of our nature j Shame upon the contemptible and low-bred, cur, whether parent or child, that ca'n ever I come to tho breakfast table, where all the family have met in health, only to frown, whine, and growl, and fret! it is prima fucic evidence of si mean, and groveling, and selfish, and degraded nature, wbenc.esoI ever the churl may have sprung. Nor is j it less reprehensible to make such exhibij tions at the tea-table ; for before the morning come?, some of the little circle may be stricken with some deadly disease, to ! gather around that table not again foreVer! I Children in good health, if left to thera1 selves at the table, bccome, after a few 1 mouthsful, garrulous and noisy ; but if | within at all reasonable or boa ruble bounds it is better to let them alone; they eat less, because they do not eat so rapidly as if compelled to keep silent, -while the very exhileration of spirits quickens the circulation of the vitid fluids, and energizes digestion and assimilation. The extremes of society curiously meet in this regard. The tables of the rich and the nobles of England are models of mirth wit and bonhommie ; it take9 hours to get through a repast, and they live long.

It follow?, thetyfhat at tlio family table all should meet and do it habitually, to make a common interchange of high-bred courtesies, of warm affections, of cheering mirthfulness, and tliat generosity of nature, which lifts us above the brutes which perish, promotive as these things are of good digestion, high health, and a long Jife. Cleanliness.?Compare thedirtinessof the water jn which you have washed when it is cold without so.'?p, cold with soap, hot with soap. You will find the first has hardly removed any dirt at all, the second a little more, and the third a great deal more. But hold your hand over a cup of hot water a minute or ^two, and then, by merely rubbing with tj^e finger, you will bring off flakes of dirty skin. After a vai por bath you may peel your whole self cl?an in tbis way." What I mean is, that by simply washing or sponging with water you do not really clean your skin. Take a rough towel, dip one corner in very hot water?if a littlo spirit be added to it, it iv i ..... wv vuvuiuni n11VI llJt'U IUU HS II you were rubbing the towel .into your skin with your lingers. The black flakes which come off will convince you that you were not clean before, however much soap and water you may have us$d. These flnkefc are what require remoxiug.

Lord Brougham recently uttered the following nobla tribute to the character of Washington: The history of latter times, iradeed of our own country, affords a contrast to.the I failings and the vices which we have been | viewing, and the contemplation of which ' I ! - f? ~ < uicsjr UC4I OUMUVY iUl IIIC ^rtsau genius which they perverted, and abhorrence of the mischievous uses to which | they turneil it. Of our own illustrious | captain and statesman, who defeated &11 j Napolron's marshals in the cau*=o of his country and !ier allies, and who ended by ! overcoming Napoleon himself, it might | not be fit to speak in this way ; because, ! though no one can have the least doubt how ho would have acted in a like posi- . tion, yet he never had tho opportunity of declining an assumption of power beyond the law. But in Washington we may contemplate every excellence, military and civil applied to the service of-his conntry and of mankind?a triumphant warrior, unshaken in confidence when the most sanguine had a right to despair, a successful, ruler in all the difliculte? of a courso wholly untried?directing tho formation of a new government for a great people, the first time so vast an" experiment "had ever been tried by man?voluntarily and unostentatiously retiring from supreme power with tlio veneration o? all parties, of all nation?, ot all mankind, that the rights of *bion might be conserved, and that his example might never be appeal* eil to by vulgar tyrants.
