TE GRZAT GIRICaf. B41TOUss.Atta. -The Courier and Enquirer of yesterday morning noticing the recent capture of the puissant General Southerland, gives tlhe following morsel of biography: "As somd'of our readers may like to know who this Southerland really is, we state for their information, that if they cnn recollect a sergeant of marines who a;few years since was daily seen in our pultication of fice, where'ie called for the papers taken .by oflicers sltationed at Governor's Island and the Navg Yard, they may place before them the individual in question. lie was a Sergeant of Marines, and deserted, taking with him a sum of money belonging to the corps." We perfectly well remember the renown ed commannder in his capacity of Sergeant of Marines, for we have seen him fifty tines in his morning calls for the papers to take to the Navy Yard, for his ollicers, and tho' we are not quite certain, we believe he is the same militarist who went with commnio dore Elliot to the Bowery Theatre with a body of Marines to protect that great man fron the popular fury during the glorious days of his exploit in refixing the Jackson figure head upon the brow of the Constitu lion frigate. Somtherland afler running a way from the Marine Corps, ranaway with his wife's sister, having previously runaway from a scurrilous printing ollice, whence lie had issued a Hawk and Buzzard paper, - 'There, citizen sympathisers, behold your General !-N.

In his investigation of the several curiosities or the place, he arrived at the turret which con tains the niachinerv of he clock. Here the dial plate is accessible, and on its inside is a small square aperture, for the convenience of the person shiftin the hands of the clock. Our friend being of a decidedly inquisitive disposition, and particularly fond of thrust ing himself into every strange and out of the way corner, immediately popped his head, through the inviting opening. He was instantly absorbed in the enjoyment of the view his elevated situation afforded him, his position in refereuce to the hands of the clock never costing him a thought, when, guillotine like, down comes the pon derous har which doustittites the larger hand, right over his devoted head A gen. tie and gradual pressure on the spine soot) gave him a hintof the predicament iu.which hie stood. To draw his head out was impossible, nud it became an unavoiJable fixture, while the powerful and steady motion of the ma chinery was scarcely at all impeded. De capitation in its most lingering and shock ing form must have been inevitable, had not the bell-ringer, in the exercise of his duty, at this moment arrived. lie instant ly perceived how matters stood, and with tne quickness of thought stopped the nia chinery. The bar was shoved up by means of levers, and the terrified and astonished man released from his/peril. It is said lie has ever since been very shy of trusting his headl off theperpendicular, and gives an in volntary shudder when, in looking out of a window, his neck by accident touches the . frame.-Greenock Advertiser. A Belgian journal contains a curious ac count of a giant, who, having made his for tune by. exhibiting himse'f to the idle and curious in various countries, has lately re: tired to his native town, Verviers, near Liege. Although of tritely colossal magni tude, with thighs as large as bodies of or diniary sized men, and a thutmb wvhich a boy twelve years old cantnot grasp, he is sy s tematically proportioined, anud has a head andl countenance rivaling in beauty and grandeur the casts of the Olympian'Jove. lie is not devoid -if eucuatiotn, and cony erses on most subjects with good sense. As no room was high enough to contain him, he has been obliged to have one made to suit, by removing ceilings, ail thtus converting two ctories of his house into one, heighten ing the doors, anid making other alterationis in proportion. His furnitture 1s tupon the saime grand scale; tihe seat of his aurm chair is uipon a level with an ordinary table, anid his table. wvith a chest of drawers, and his bed, tilling an entire room. Ihis b~oots cost 80t. a pair, his hat 60~f. lHe feeds himself wvith a fork rivalling that with Guly's bor ridge pot at WVarwick Castle, andl a 51)oon wvith corresponding dimnensions. With all these appliances, the poor man ins no en -.joymnent of his life. If he walks by dauy he is followed by all the boys and vagabonds of the town; and if he ventures furth at bight, his ears are assailed biy the screams of many who' take himn for sorpe supernatural being. lie can have no hope of finding any woman who will venture to marry him, and there fore must remain deprived of all the enjoy ments of a domestic circle. He passes his -time, consequently. almnost in solitude..

Tut PEss IN 'SOUTH AMERICA.--I South America there are altogether 133 tewspapers, of which 25 are publishe. in Brazil. Of these the advertisements form the most interesting and curious part. Ir an honest citizen forgets to accept an invi tation, or neglects to visit his friends lie is sure to see his negligence reproved in the Petiblo or the Sol; or if one, who has bor rowed a book; forgets to return it, his niem ory will receive a fillip by seeing the subject noticed in the Diario, with hints that if the book is not quickly returned the unate will he published. The greater part of these journals are so badly printed that it is almost impossible to read them; and in i bis respect, cannot compete with those of North A meri Ce.

An official report for 1836, by the Minis ter of Public Instruction in Rtssi, gives the following resuls:-There were 1,744 scho lastic institutions under his direction, con taining 91,000 students and scholars. Tzie imperial public library contitined 423.141 printed hooks, and 17,231 manuocripts, and there were twenty-five public libraries es tablished in different parts of the empire.

The official publications issued from the same department amounted to 13.570; anl in the tarchives there were preserved 64,000 documents. TaUTut TO THE DYixo.-We copy from Dr. W hitridge's excellent address to the last graduating class in the Medical College of South Carolina, the following extract. Lutheran Obserrer. . It is but too common for gentlemen ofthe profession to think and to fiel, that in re spect to patients, so far as their diseases are concerned, they are not bound by the obli gations of truth; but that it is always tie cessary to encourage and flatter them, to etlect their recovery or to prolong their life. This is an erroneous opinion, anad one that I am extremely desirous should be corrected. I have seen patients encourag ed, flattered and deceivedl by their friends and physicians, until they were alsolutely cheated out of life.-and who knows but cheated too. out of their soul's -lvmation? What, tell a lie to a sick mat. It is bad enough to deceive in any case, but to tell a lie to a sick and dying man, antd thus divert his mind from sacred things-deprive him of the use of precious time-time which imay perhaps he to him of.infinitp .imtptr tanco-'s unpardinable. Although I have no great faith or confidence in the oficacv Of a death-bed repetancc,-helievi ng that a timan's hope depends upon the manner in which he lives, rather than in which ie dics,-yet I dare not take tipon me tie re sponsibility of deceiving him; nor is there any necessity for it, or ev~en of concealment, -so far from it that 1 have generally found' a frank and free communication to my pa tients, attended with the hiappiest resut. (T.tconsciouis as they ofjen are ofr their situ an, I have frequently giv.en them the first istluumtion) of their dhanger, andl in many instances have been the humble inistrulment of awvakening them to a sense of their moral condition. It has been may happiness tupon such occasions, to witness the gratification which patients have evitnced otn their CleathI thed on receiving informantion, which is tustu ally regarded not only impolitic, bnt uwel come, and their thankfulness has over been manifest lby the warm efliasion~s Cot a grate lul heart. itustead of' alarming them. as is generally ap~prehendled, it inspires thIem with hope and confldence,-conufide::ce in their phaysici an,-hope itn the efleacy of his renmdies,-trust anal confuler ce in God!" .Some birds have a great udeal of humor in them, particularly the ravenm. One that behongedh to me was the most mischievons and amusimg creature I ever mect wvith. lie would get into the flower garden, go to the beds wihere the gardiner had sowed a great variety of seeds,with sticks put in the grund with labels, and then he wouldI amuse him self with pulling up every stiek, and laying them in heaps ten or twelve on the path. This used to itritate the otld gardner very much, who wvould drive him away. The raven knew that he ought not to dho it, or he would -not have done it. Hie wvoul soon retturn to his mischief, anal i hen the gard ner again chased himi, (the old man could not walk very fast,) the raven would just keep clear of the rake or koe in his handl, dancitng before him, andl singing as pluin as a raven could, "Tol dle rol de rol! tol de rol de rol!" with all kintdq of mlimickinug ges ture.-Ne-w Motly Magazine. REPORTING ExTaxOnRDNAr.-We.~V he lieve that the quickest reporting ever known was Mr. Sheil's speech at Penendenhecatha, which appeared in print in London abotut three hours after it was spoken. Our rea ders will admit that the followinug instance of despatcht throws the above into total insig nificance: Sir William Wlahesworth's speech on the Canada qtission was actually re ceived in Uornwall ini a printed form, with all the anticipated "hear, hear," andI "great laughter," "cheers," & other parliamenatar-y expressions, mnore thatn three hlours before It wvas spoken in the H10use of Commons!

'3' EFFECTa or FEat.--some years since while an American vessel of war was stationed at Virginia, Dr. D-, an amiable and intelligent nian, who acted as physician and surgeon to it, used frequently to lodge on shore, at the house of a respect able lady, to whose only son, a child of four or five years old, the doctor had be-:omo strongly attached from having discovered in him an extraordinary precocity, and an interesting disposition. Aller some months the vessel was again ordered to sen, and Dr. D-, parted with his little favorite with grean regret. More than a year bad elapsed, when the same vessel returned to N-, when the Dr. returned to his land lady to see his little protege. The child flew to his embraces, delighted to see him. After the first caress was over. "Why, my dear boy," said Dr. D-, parting his head as he spoke who has been powdering your I" "No body," replied the child. vhose joy was changed to the most extrva gant grief, & bursting into a passion of tears, lie quitted the apartment: Dr. )-, sat in a silent amnzement, for the boy's hair was as white as the mountain suow. In a mo ment after, the mother entered, and when the first gratulations were over, lie inquired the meaning of the late scene. Saying to her. " What have you been doing to your son's hair:" "Nothing," sobbed she, and following the child's exaniple, she left the room weeping. The next time he called, she was better able to account for the mnys ter3, and informed him that a short time ago, she had been aroused at midnight by the loud and piercing shrieks of her child. aind on hastening to his bed, found him set ting up in it, his countenunce wild with horror, and the whole surface of his bodv dripping cold perspiration. Ott being made sensible oiher presence, in a confused and incoherent manner, lie told her that he had been visited by a frightful dream. The next day it was discovered that his hair was bleached as white as though lie had lived a century. This mystery, for such it may certainly be considered, was not perfctly understood till about three years simce, when by the dying confession of a relation who was to inherit the proper ty of the child at his decease, it was con lessed that on !he night when the boy im agined lie had been visited by a dream, he had himself made an attempt to strangle him, but was deterred from the commis sion of the deed by the terrific screams of the child.
