FALLS OF MISSOURI. The fa I Is of Missouri are in north latitude 47 degrees; in west longi [tude 88 from W ashington city.? yPhey range wjjh the city of Quebec, the bead of the Mississippi, the Mandan villages, the .forks of Clark's river, and the mouth of the Coluui [hia; all of which an between the parallels 46 and 47.^ The falls are made by the decent [of ?he rivei' hm? apiccp of table land whiclt ites at the foot of the Rocky Mountains about jfifty miles Wide, and some hundreds in length' om north to south. IfThe river flowing from tbe south about six * hundred miles, following its bends, turn? to the east when it has arrived in the 4at|tude of 47 de grees, and descends froak the table land into the level county which spreads downwards to the centre *>f the valley of the Mississippi. The decent is effected in. a passage of"i8 mike, over three .principal falls and a multitude of cascades and rapids. The .first fall (looking down the river) has a perjtendicular pitch of twenty-six feet, the second of /ojrtv s even, the third of The ,vury#a cascades and rapids give a fortlier descant of About two burfdred&et, so that the entire fall Of the liver is about three hundred and si^ fectf its average breadth,! from Jbo head to the foot of thf.falls, about a quarter ?f a mile. ! ? $ov*?w Wjs was the M white ra&n that evwrtwbeld these feelings, and attracted by 4he distant roaring, fie hnrried on abeadof hie at 0ooD' on Tbursdaj; thb 18th of June, 1805. f'Jfrom tbe foot of the fells the river flows without obstruction, without a shoal or rapid tojjreak its navigation; to?>e, * distance in round pnubtls of tour thousand AllfUT ' Trr^"?^||MlKlBM The country about thefalls is em inently beautiful.

The ancient Egyptians bail three wj|ys of embalming thpir dead, and artists vera particularly trained up /or that purpose f the most costly me thod was practised only ppon persons of high rank s of which sort are all the mummies that have remained en due 4ft the present tines* It was done by j&trapting the brains through the nostrils, ayqd injecting a ricbbalm in their stead ; then ope niug the bel ly and taking out the intestines; the cavity was washed with palm . wine impregnated with spices, and filled, with myreh^nd-Othei aiomatics; thU done, the body was laid ift nitre seventy days, at the end of wliichit taken .out, .cleaned and syathejil with fine linen, gummed aud orna mented with yarious , hieroglyphics, expressive of the_ depeased'd birth, character aqd rank. This process completed, the embalmer carried liomelbe hpdy, where it was placed in a coffin, .cut inhuman shape and then^enclused in aa outer case, and placed upright against the waft of the bury ing place belonging to t|ic family.- ? '???: Another less expensive methqd of embalming was by i meeting into all the cavities of tba body a certain di?r, solvent, which being suffered to rau off after a proper time, carried with it whatever was contained tbeaein li quified ; and then the t>ody thus purged being dried by the nitrpfis process as before the pperatioo w&? closed swathing, jfec.

Mr.- Bewell, the well known atwUtant professor at the Ve-? terintty pollege, who has the exclu sive claim to this improvement, in thecoorae of the l**t 48 month* per* formed thia operation on above one hundred horse*, with unifonh tnc cess, except, perhape, two or three DaMa to which there ma greet orl ganical disease of the foot.

Sports of the Field. ? The prevailing mania for . thisr amusement is neatly bit off, by the facetious Gpldsiqith in tlie following ludicroos description of a Cart Race : " W bether tbis contention between three carts of . different Parishes was promoted by a subscription among the nobility, or whether the Grand Jury, in council assem bled, bad gloriously combined to eu courage pjaustral merit, 1 cannot take upon me to determine; but certain it is, lite whole was conducted with (he utmost regularity and decorum, and the coni()any, which made a brilliant appearance, were universal* ly of opinion that tbe sport vvas high, the running fine, and the riders in* ' fluenped by no bribe, " ^t was run on -the road from Loudon to ^village called Brentford* between a turnip cart, a dust carl and a dung cad $ each of (be owners condescending to mount and be his own driver.
