Such u collection of various rare ami beautif ul objects cannot he the work ol' u day, in fact lor nfjes, since 1035 the world has been constantly coutrihti-Mug to make these cabinets pertW't.

The revolutionary spirit which ravaged almost all of the universities and public institutions for various reasons respected this, and panged it by untouched, il suffered however very much from neglect and deteriorated from the want of fuiuls. Honnparte with the same zeal, with w hich he gave MiMejf to the embellishment of the city in general and enhancing tiie beauty of its numerous galleries, and public places, strove to repair the faults of the lteign of Terror, and by the fruits of coMUUtt filled it with most valuable objects. At his fall, some of these were returned, but many being retained, the garden on the whole was much the gainer. The magnificent cabinet of the Stallholder was claimed, but its equivalent in duplicates only was returned. Several valuable jewels were reclaimed by the Pope and hooks and objects of natural history returned to individuals, who were the original owners. The institution now nourishes with unaccustomed vigor. It is a favorite object of government and large sums are annually devoted to increasing and beautifying its cabinet and paying for the support id' the numerous professors of various sciences attached to it. Nu merous courses of lectures arc delivered between the months of April ami Oclubcr, to which all have free admission.

In I7M the remnant were removed to i this place. Since the present reign this portion ot the garden has been grently extended, and con tant additions are being made. It now forms a nanat picturesepio appimrance. The ground is divided by windiiu? walka and light fencea into encloauree, in which are the time animals, such as various kinds of! deer, the American bison, sheep, goats, zebras, cun-els, &c. Tliese parks are of considerable extent, allowing exercise and pasturage upon the green grass that carpcta them. The animals nre generally in pairs, and nt this season their young otTspnng arc often gambolling with them. In other, arc sjieciincns of ihe ostrich from South America and Africa, whoee fine plumage resembles more the feathers in the ladies' hata thanthr.se on the meagre birds seen in our travelling meingenes. In a still larger enclosure, in the form of a circle, with a pond in the centre, are the tropical and aquatic bird, whose shrill cries remind one of the descriptions of Kobinson Crusoe. Here are the graceful swans, mnny varieties of ducks and geese, and the fish-rating birds of the warm latitude. The empire of this enclosure lias many claimants. The vniu bird of paradise spreads out. it broad litle, whenever he can find any one to pay him attention ; the strutting turkey-cock think Ins pretensions indisputable; and the valiant little bantam dares any one to doubt his superior claims. In pa-ciotia carers separated from the walk by an iron fence, which keeps the multitude from approaching within a distance of four feet, are confim d lions, hyenas, leopards, anacondis of monstrous length, Itzzird and others. The volenc contains vultures, eagles, billiards, hawks, nnd numerous varieties of this tribe, Binding birds and othnr of the gay plumage of for-eigiiclini s. A crowd is always collected round the large space, in winch are kept the monkeys. The whole is covered with a, wire roof, which keeps them from escaping, mid in ibis spacious cage, almost free from restraint, they gambol, running from " pillar to pott1 now mounting tu the summit, and a moment of-tersliduig to the bottom by means of a pemluul rope; and thus they sporl day after day, screaming and quarrelling, without wearying either themselves or the delighted spectators, who stand for hours together under the rays of a broiling sun in this unsheltered place. The "embryo man " is a decided, and universal favorite among ihe Parisians, who havedoubl-lesa been recently more gratified w ith the reported discovery of a new family id' monkeys, than if it had been another planet, or the north-west passage. In a building denominated from its shape, the Kotun- da, are confined a great many kinds of the more milky amum:.--, among winch the lofty giralte, and the ponderous elephant tire most conspicuous, iloth these are extremely tame, and receive liberal dona tions ol bread, with which the visitants are general ly (toll supplied. In the company of the largest el ephant are two tapers, who share w ith her the muddy pond In the centre of the ground, The King in de sirous of adding tbo Amoriean Indiana, now on ex hibition here by Mr. Cullm, lo this collection; but the price is probably too high. The large Siberian and American bears are in sunken courts with cells, and alVord much amusement to the public in climbing the dead tree, placed in the middle, catching the bread thrown to them, and playing with one another. Comprehensive as the menagerie is at present, additional room has been appropriated for its extension, and it w-ill soon comprise a specimen id' almost every nro creature in the world. Sea captains and travellers nnke frequent contributions, and it re ceives ample accessions front the gifts of foreign princes and the monifletnot of the government. In connection with the living animals we must not forget the dead, which are still more numerous, and form a Cabinet of oology, the most complete perhaps in the world, reckoning 150,000 specimens. The edifice appropriated to it is simple in its construction, three stories in height, and three hundred and ninety feet in length. At every step I perceive memorials of the renowned Baton Cuvier, according to whose system, the splendid contents are arranged. The collection of inanunalin, representing live hundred species, is upwards of AnMO hundred in number. This receives constant additions from the doath of members of the menagerie, as well as contributions from abroad. So perfectly are the animals preserved, that their appearance is etuinlly tine with the live ones in the adjoining yard. The Collect ion of birds numbering over six thousand, is a sight, that gratifies universally. Independently of nny scientific view, their rich gaudy colors have a charm, which the most uneducated can appreciate. There they sit, day ufter day, a row of black, a row of blue, or nny other color; their sleepless glass eyes always open and brilliant; their limbs never weary, though standing incessantly on one leg by the month together. From the ceiling are suspended turtles of every description, from individuals that weigh seven or eight hundred pounds, to the minutest samples, which squat on planks, floating on the sides of any of our muddy ponds. Liz.arda of every hue, frogs, profesots of the art of nutation, nud snakes, whose method ot progression, more wonderful than the lo the most interesting, and, like the former, is infinitely indebted to the incessant exertions of Cuvier. The edifice, which contains it, is of older construction, than the others. At the great door of entrance are deposited two immense jaw hones of a whale. Many other specimens niny be seen within, incluil- nte sacieiou ot a sen cow, orouirm oy iilhihh . . f . .

The valiant Ccneral Tom Thumb, beats him, I hear, in littleness. There are various anatomical preparations of muscles, brains, eye, viscera, Ac. of animals, disposed in such order, as makes comparison easy. An extensive collection of casts of the heads of many distinguishi d individuals possesses a rnre interest to the rraniologisL This cabinet ia the richeat in existence, nnd deserves a particular description, without which nothing but a very feeble idea indeed can bo imparted; but this is not the place for so minute an account, as would be necesiary to make a aketch useful, or even intelligible. My letters lately, 1 perceive, nre tending to excessive length. This propensity must, if possible, be checked. I shall therefore nip off the runners, as the vinedressers do, when I can, and now give you an earnest of my sincerity by postponing to tfie next letter, what remains to be said on the Jardtu de Plant. A. K. Ci. Bt nniio Wri.i-.--A correspondent of ttV Cleveland Plain )ealer gives an account of a burning well that may b seen at Sositliington C entre, Trumbull county. Ohio. The well is !l feet deep, all bul M fet through sand stone, quick sand and hard rock, which tbo augur used for boring could not pen etrate. When it was withdrawn, n peculiar odor, accompanied by a rushing sound, was perceived. Suspecting the presence id inflammable ga, the owner of the well lowered a lamp into it. A violent explosion, that did some injury to the bystanders, was the consequence, and ga- still ( "'mued to burn. It is doubtleaa c&rbuiretted hydrogen. Astronomical Tin: I'i.ankt Mars. ThieM splendid planet is now sjen, in clear weather, lo rise in the southeast, at about tune o'clock in the evening. He is distinguished from the oilier planets by his deep red color; and to the westward of him, about fifteen degrees, is seen theplnnet Saturn, which rises about one hour before him. Mars in Ins orbit, when on the same lido of the sun with the Earth, approaches to within less than fifty millions of miles of it, which is nearer than any other planet except Venus, whose distance from the Berth is about twenty-seven millions of miles. This nearest approach of Mars to the Kirlb, takes place once in a little- over two years, at which time he is of great brilliancy. Ho will he in this position on the 'lst of the present mouth, at which lime he will rise about half past seven o'clock in the evening, and will reach meridian at midnight The last nearest npproach of Mara to the earth was in June, 184 The earth then performed a revolution round the Sun, and was back again in June, 844e which time Mars had performed only one-half of his revolution round the sun, which be completed in February, irM:i. He then commenced hia 00X1 rovoliittori, and the enrth after completing ita second revolution in June, 1845, proceeds on its third, and overtakes Mars on the 121st of August, he having advanced four hours and forty minutes, or seventy degrees in right ascension, on his second revolution, at which tune the right ascension of Mars will be hours or (leg., which will place him upon a line between the signs Aquarius and Pisces, nml his declination will he 'J I deg. 10 mm. south. I ho great brilliancy of Mars will continue for some time, yet its decrease will soon begin, and about the first of December he will be on our meridian about seven o'clock in the evening, appearing as a star of the accoud or third magnitude. Df.stri ctivk Hail Storm. The thunder gust of Sunday afternoon isaid to have been very heavy in Anne Arundal County ; nnd a small portion of it was the scene of a severe hail storm. The Argus of yesterday afternoon, speaking of it, says Captain Richard I'hclps, John Smith, Charles Smith, Josephns Smith, Joseph Cole, Thomas W. Cole, Elijah Veahhill, Allen Wnrlieid, (ieorge Rider, Esqrs., in amongst those that nre known lohavu suffered severely from the effects of the storm. Their pencfies were llirnslied from the trees by wagon loads, and what few remain are rendered of little consequence. Canlcloupes were cut from the vines and hewn to pieces the corn ns literally destroyed and stripped uf every patticle of the fodder, and all oilier products of the soil suffered in like manner. The ram fell in such torrents as to wash large bodies of the tiail into the 'bnee corners, as much as six or seven cart loads of hail stones in a heap, and where there were no shutters to protect the windows not n pane of glass wns left unbroken. Other persons, it is likely, have suffered as seriously as those named above, hut we have not heard to what extent. Thoso persons named above reside some twoorthrue miles south of ElkridgO Lnnding. Tin: First Cars.. Unite a commotion wns created in otir town on Thursday last, by the nrrivnl of tfie long htoked for " first car." A large number of people were in town in expectation of hearing the-I examination of some of the persons arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the late horrible trnd-j gedy, and when tfie word spread among them that I the cars were coming, ihe motion for the railroad I was unanimous. The new and splendid Eocomotivo of the Company, the Xcnin," arrived at the depot j a little after M o'clock, having in tow several freight j cars loaded with iron for the track. A great part of 1 the distance between here nnd Waynesvillc, we ara I informed, was run upon the wood, the trnck being' still incomplete. The desire to see the N critter" i was very great, and it was with difficulty that tho engineers in charge could prevent accidents happening to a largo number of the over-cunoui. Ono young innn, in attempting to mount the train, while under w-ny, had his fool seriously injured by it being i caught under one of the wheels. This is always & dangerous experiment, and we caution all who may ride upon railroads to he certain that the cars an; perfectly still before they attempt to get either off or on. It is decidedly the safest plan. It will be seen by reference to our advertising columns, that the cars will commence running regularly between here and Cincinnati on the Jlh.li iniL enia Torch Light. To Cook Tomatof.s. He that does not love tomatoes is an object of pity. Kvery art of cooking should be employed to inveigle ihe appetite of every man to love a vegetable so wholesome. Peel a dozci,ripe tomatoes and fry them in nlittlo sweet butter, together with two or three sliced green peppers, sprinkle on a little salt; and finally slice up an onion or two, ami let the whole cook thoroughly. Thia ia the Spanish method of preparing them. Another method, which from n long exjicriencc wo know will wenr well, ii as follows. The directions are for a meis of tomatoes amounting to about three pints when cooked. Begin by parboiling two onions. While this ia doing, peel a dozen tomatoes, which is easily do no after hot water has been poured over them; cut them up and add the onions, also a tencupful and a half of bread crumbled line, a table spoonltil of salt, a heaping tpaspoonful tf black pepper, a lump of butter of the Bizc of a turkey's egg, or about four table spoonfuls. Beat these thoroughly together and set them over a slow fire, gradually to stew. They should entile rtotrly nnd Jura ting time: never less than threo hours, but the longer the better. About fifteen min-uteB before they are to be used, beat up six eggs and stir them in, and put them on fresh coals and give them one grand boil up. stirring them all the while. When so cooked no directions will be needed how to eat them. The art of cooking the tomato lie mostly in cooking them enough. They should be put to work the first thing after the breakfast things are nut of tho wsy, even if yanj do not dine till thret.
