Rang loud, and stopped him in his pride of place.
He fell, slow wheeling on his outspread wings,
Bequeathing all he left to thee;-a name.
The EAGLE of thy tribe! Thy piercing eye
Has fed the eagle. Was thy tribe cruel,
Or kind, when full of age, they cast thee forth
Upon that wilderness the world, to thee
A lonelier place than wood or mountain high,
Or the deep glen, or the remotest cave?
And didst thou die, neglected and alone,
Or was it thine in victory to fall?
Or fan the flame with thy heroic breath,
As round thee curled the slow consuming fire,
Victim indeed! the requiem yelling
O'er thine own ashes? Such was not thy end!
Thine aged body found a tranquil death,
And slept among the dewy leaves again
A long, unbroken sleep; and in that tree
Which cradled it, it found its airy grave.

JUAN FERNANDEZ.

"O that the desert were my dwelling place,
With one fair spirit for my minister!"

There's an island afar in the blue western sea,
Where spring smiles forever for you, love, and me;
The winds breathing fragrance will waft away care,
And sorrow and envy can never come there.

The sun when he sets on the fountain and flowers,

Will leave not a bower so delicious as ours;
And the moon rising pale on that island of green
Will shed her calm light over souls as serene.

It consists in placing the gas in one leg of a sealed bent tube, confined by mercury, and applying heat to ether, alcohol, or water, in the other end. In this way, by the pressure of the vapour of ether, he liquified prussic gas, and sulphureous acid gas. When these gases were reproduced they occasioned cold.

VACCINATION IN CHINA.

Mr Davis, in the paper just quoted, mentions the following curious fact. When Dr Pearson made the Chinese his invaluable present of vaccine inoculation, it was accompanied by a small pamphlet, in Chinese,

WATERSPOUT IN FRANCE.

In the arrondissemens of Dreux and of Mantes, about three o'clock on the twentysixth of August, 1823, a storm came on from the S. W. accompanied with a sudden and powerful heat. A waterspout was seen not far from the village of Boucourt, having its broad base resting on the ground, and its

summit lost in the clouds. It consisted of a thick and blackish vapour, in the middle of which were often seen flames in several directions. Advancing along with the storm, it broke or tore up by the roots, in the

with great violence in the village of Marchepey, one half of the houses of which were instantly destroyed. The walls overturned to their foundations, rolled down on all sides; the roofs, when carried off, broke in pieces, and the debris were dragged to the distance of half a league by the force of this aërial torrent. Some of the inhabitants were crushed to pieces, or wounded

by the fall of their houses, and those who

were occupied in the labours of the field, were overthrown or blown away by the whirlwind. Hailstones as large as the fist, and stones and other foreign bodies carried off by the wind, injured several individuals. Carts heavily loaded were broken in pieces, and their loads dispersed. Their axle-trees were broken, and the wheels were found at the distance of two hundred or three hundred paces from the spot where they were overturned. One of these carts, which had been carried off almost bodily, was pitched above a tile-kiln which had been beaten down, and some of the materials of which had been carried to a considerable distance. A spire, several hamlets and different insulated houses, were overthrown. Several villages were considerably injured. The lower part of the waterspout is supposed to have been about one hundred toises in

diameter.

Near Genoa on the 16th of the following month, a waterspout was observed, accompanied by similar phenomena. A heavy rain fell on that day in the communes of Quigliano and Valeggia, in the province of Savona, beginning at five o'clock in the morning. It increased to such a degree that at nine o'clock the country was inundated. Towards noon there issued from a mountain situated in the parish of Valeggia, a whirlwind of black smoke and fire. It first carried off the roof a house, in which two children were crushed to pieces, and the parents wounded. The waterspout then advanced to the opposite side of the mountain called Magliolo; crossed the river, the waters of which it heaped up in an instant, though they were much swelled;

ACADEMY OF MEDICINE OF BUENOS AYRES.
The first number of the transactions of

this society was published in August 1823.
It contains an account of its objects and
progress, and several dissertations on im-
portant medical subjects.
One of the
greatest contributors is Don Manuel Moreno
a graduate of the University of Maryland.
In the introductory discourse, many com-
pliments are paid to the people of the
United States, their policy, scientific insti-
tutions, and literati. The academy offers
prizes for the best dissertations on certain
medical subjects,-the prize for 1824 was a
gold medal of the value of two hundred dol-
lars. The seal of the Academy represents
the temple of Minerva, supported by six
columns-the dome surmounted by the sun
and in the centre the genius of liberty with
other emblematic devices-on the reverse,
Medicine ac Naturalium Scientiarum Bo-
nærensis Academic. The number is in the
quarto form, and contains one hundred
pages. It is printed on good paper with a
neat type, and its execution in general,
whether considered in a literary or me-
chanical point of view, is such as to give
a very favourable impression of the state
of science and the arts in Buenos Ayres.
Dr Chapman of Philadelphia, and Dr Mitch-
ell of New York, are honorary members of
the Academy.
