For some days after th< arrival at Bordeaux, they lived on mi and fruit.

Only a few persons were prese 'heir curiosity was at its hihe 4 pit when a noso of little hells was heard in t outside room.

The gridt is fixed too deeply That mourns for one like thee." From the New York Examiner. A Ltv: MaMAID, AND NO MISTAK.. A prodigious excitemen prevails in Ire laud, especially in the North; in conse quence of an actual living Mernaid, which was recently caught in a salmon net at Iatnneraw Point, in the county of Done gal. There can be no mistake in this fact as five or six pipers corroborate it, in the important poitfts, but the "Derry Sentinel" and the "Fermenagh Journal," are the most enthusiastic and particular in their descriptions. The first announcement ap peared'ibthe Sentinel, as follows: A tesaaid, and no mistake,-A very general disbelief in the existence of the Mermaid is likely to receive a severe shock from the truth of the following statement: A creature in every respect answering, the usual description of the *"ea woman," was caught lately in the salmon nets at liunne raw Point, neat Faban, county Donegal. She is at present under the protection of a gentleman of that neighborhood. who has kindly permitted the country people, who are flocking.in hundreds about the jilaceto "see and believe." The members of the Londonderry Natural History Society, we understand, are to investigate this extraor dinary phenomenon, for the purpose of sending an immediate report of their ob novel moqeter should survive the sudden change in her situation, she will he sent to Viscount Melbourne as a present to the Queen; if not, the boly will be preserved in spirits, and will grace the uov forming museum or our local society." The effect of this notice was, that at least a fourth of all the inhabitants of Der ry, who couldallord the expense, procee ded in a body to Honeraw, where they were admitted to an inspection of the sin gular creature; which is thus described in the Fermanagh Journal. The Mermaid.-This is certainly a sea woman; awl has such an expression of in telligence in its countenance, that we are absolutely inclined to believe that it is a creature of reason, rather than of instinct. We do itot mean to ininuate that it has any notion of abstract ideas; but the fact is, that there is an appearance of confu sion about it that would seem to indicate sentiments of shame, fear and sa pplication. It weighs about seventy pounds, and is al together human in its outward organization. from the head to the navel, where the fish begins to develope itself, nnd the remain der is formed very like the extremity of a large dolphin. The skin of the face and the breast is a whitish brown-the eyes are black, and the no'se purely aquiline; and its eye brows, lips andchin, are mod els for a sculptor. The hair is long and thick; and the crenture's principal amuse mnens is to stroke it downward with her webbed, but otherwise, very perfect fin gers. It looks to he twe-lye or fourteen years old; and regards people.occasioanally, us if it had atn inclination to speak; and n'e are solemnly of the 'upinior that. whent in its native element, it nmakes its wishes known through the muediutt ofits tongne. Altogether indeed, at is the most singular being we ever witnessed, und excites fee. hings in the beholdiers, at least as mauch akin to awe as to curiosity. Can it have a soul, and he an acconiabhle creaturcl At al! evenats, we slimll examine it closely this week, and report particulars." We shall look with great anxiety fom our next files of Irish papers, on rte receipt of which we trust to lie able to furtnish the readers of The Examniner with ste fuller itlraationa in relation to this surprising pihenomenon. Tea To~tB or Kosemsco.-Mr. Ste phens, in giving ean account of his visit to the cathedral -church at Cracow-"allied in its history with the most memorable annals of Poland; the witness of the an cient glory of their kings and their sepul chres"--after dlescribsing the tombs ol Wladislaus lo Bre, Kasimer the Great,and the Sigismndts, says; "'On the lower side of the church by the sidhe of Poniatowski, the Polish Banyard, is the tomb of one nobler in my eyes titan all the kinags of Poland or of the world. It is of red marble, ornamenated with the ciaj and plume of the peasant of Cracow, and bears the simple inscri ption'ToKosciusco.' All ever the c hurchl I ad read elaborate patnegyrics upotn the tenants of the royal septilchres, and I was struck with t'his simple inscription, and remenmbered thn the white mtarble column reared am~id ruc magnificent scenery of the Hudson which I had often gazed at fmm the deck of a steamboat, and at whose base I had often stood. ore also in majestic simplicity the - name of 'Kosciusko,' It was late in he afternoou, and the group of peasets, t*o Poles from the interior, and a party of the citizens of Cracow. among whom were several ladies, joined me at the tonmb. We could not speak each others language; we were born&lived thousands of miles apart, & we were strangers itn our thoughts and feelings,in all our hopes and prospects, but we had a bond of sympathy at the grave of Kosciusko. One of the ladies spoke French, and I told them that in my far distant country, the name of their nation's idol was hallowed; that schoolboys had erected a monument to his memory. They knew that he had fought by the side of Washington, but they did not know .. that the recollection of his services was s ehr still so dlearly cherished in America; and we all agreed that it was the proudest tri bute that could be paid to his metnory, to write merely his name on his monument. It meant that it was needless to add an epitaph, for no man would ask. who was Kosciusko? An Old-Fashioned Eclipse.-The edi tor of the C,ncinn;,ti Post, (whose memory is a complete store husez of old tineie oe-. currences.) gives the following interesting account of the Eclipse which occurred it 1806. The editor should indulge his rea ders with more of the past: "It was our happiness to be at Provi dence, R. island, when the total Eclipse of June, 1806, took place.-the day was perfectly bright-the phenomenon con menced between 11 and 12 o'clock, and after the sun became totally obscured, it remained so for more than half an hour. Its operation upon animated nature was truly ant awfully sublime. The birds flew about in evident distress and terror, the domestic fowls ran about in all direc tions cackling as in a fright. lorses gal .loped round their pastures neighing; while the burned cattle Which seemed more af frighted than the rest, lore up the earth with their horns and feet in madness-all this uproar was followed by the silence of midnight, when the eclipse was complete; the birds retired to their resting places; the fowls...o their roosts, the hogye, to their stalls,' and the cattle,.to-their mangers. while the stare shone forth in their beauty, ani all was still. University; assembled upon the terrace of the College. and struck up Milton's hymn to Light. The effect was altogether sub lime and beautiful. Nothing. that ever met our eye or ear, before or since, was ever equal to it." The Ancient Greek and Roman Table. -The dif'erence between the diet of the. ancients and that of the moderns is very striking. The ancient Greeks and Ro mans used no alcoholic liquor, it being un known to them; nor coflee. nor tea. not chocolate, nor sugar, nor even butter; for Galen informs us he had seen butter but once in his life. They were ignorant of tlhe greater number of our tropical spices, as cloves, nutmeg. mace, ginger, Jamaica pepper, currypimento. They used neither buckwheat, nor French beans, nor spin nach, nor sago, tapioca. salad, arrow-root. nor potato, or its varieties not even the common, but a sort of marsh grown bean; nor many of our fruits, as the orange, or tamarind, nor American maize. On the other hand, they ate substances which we now neglect-the mallow, the herb or ox tongue, the sweet acorn, the lupin. They used raddish, lettuce, sorrel. They liked the flesh of wild asses, of little dogs, of the dormouse, of the fox, of the bear. They ate the flesh of parroquets, and other rare birds, and of lizards. They were fond of a great many fish, and sheil fish, which we now hold in no esteem. rThey em ployed as seasonings, rite, and assafetida. Dr. Dick's Diet and Regimen. An. Editor made opulent.-M.

Liberal Man.-TFhe Hlampshire (Mass.) Onizette states, that a Farmer in Belcher town, in that State, makes it his practice to give one-fifth of his annutal income to charitahle objects. This year he cleared $5,000i~ on mulberry trees alone. and gives two thousand dollars in charity.
