 impomnee of the letters which it contained, was

A New Jersey paper states that the Manganese 

 and Anthracite coal have been found in digguig 

 the feeder of the Delaware and Raritan Canal, 

 -nndiii other parts of the State. — Hopes "the 

 Legislature will not rise without making provision 

 for the geological survey recommended by both 

 Governors." New Jersey is undoubtedly possessed 

 of immense wealth in her mineral resources, 

 ■*vhi<:h a scientific survey would develope and ren- 

 ■der available, 



Boston Mercantile Journal. The first number 

 •of a new daily paper with this title has just been 

 published by J. Ford & Co. Congress St., Boston. 

 In its Prospectus it is stated that this periodical is 

 to be " a jiaper, which shall make the moral ele- 

 vation of community one of its chief objects — 

 which shall advocate openly the cause of temper- 

 ance, and every other benevolent enterprise ; 

 wliich shall discourage all such public or private 

 practices and amusements as are injurious to pub- 

 lic or individual character, even at the sacrifice of 

 of pecuniary profit," &c. 



J3n Amusing Book. We have been gratified 

 in perusing a small volume, recently from the 

 press of Lilly, Wait, Colman «Si Holdcn, Boston, 

 entitled " Buonaparte's Voyage to St. Helena ; 

 comprising the Diary of Rear Admiral Sir George 

 Cockburu, during his passage from England to 

 St. Helena, in 1815. From the original manu- 

 script, in the hand-writing of bis Private Sec- 

 retary." 



This Narrative will possess great interest with 

 all who would like to be fully apprised by un- 

 impeachable testimony of the kind of stuff which 

 enters into the composition of mankind's favorites, 

 who have gratified their admirers by a full devei- 

 opement of the "organ of destructivcncss," 

 " Heroes are all the same it is agreed, 

 From Macedouia's madman to the Swede !" 



but under different circumstances they may 

 present different traits of character worthy of the 

 attention of those who believe 



" The proper study of mankind is mjin."
