An exchange remarks:
We have not seen the coincidence anywhere
noticed that Mr. Webster was not the onlv 1
great man. to whose mind 41 Gray's Elegy"
has occupied on the eve o I leath; but we read
lhat when Gen. Wolle was moving at mid
night in his boats to the attack on Quebec,
with the shade of his approaching fate upon
his mind, he repeated to his officers this poem
and at iteclosesaid, "Gentlemen, I had rather
be the author of these lines than take Q,uehec
io-tnorrow.M The parallel might be continued,
lor none can doubt, from the calm manner ol
Mr. Webster's departure, that he,like Wolfe,
though he in a far higher field ofcoufii
also a conqueror even in death
and advo

The Population op Tub Globe —The
population of the Globe is support! to be less
than one thousand millions—937.000.000. A
French writer, allmliug to the subject,, says :
-H all mankind were collected in one place
every four individuals occupying a square
metre, thewhole might he contained in a field
ten miles*8quare. Thus generally speaking,
the population of a country might be packed,
without much squeezing, in its capital. Bui
the mean idea this gives us of ihe number ol'
human race, is counterbalanced by its capa-
bility ol extension. T* e newworfd is said lo
contain of produelive land 4.001 ,000 square
miles ol middling quality, each capable ol sup-
porting two hundred inhabitants ; and 6,000,-
000 of a better quality, capable of supporiiug
five hundred persons. According to this calcu-
lation, the population ol the new world, as
peace and civilization advance, may attain to
the extent ol 4.000,000. If we suppose the
„ burfuee of the old world to be double «hat of
| America,(and notwithstanding «he compara-
tive property ol the land, this calculation may
be accepted, if we say nothing of Aosiraliii
and the various archipelagoes,) it would sup-
port 8.000,000 ,000; and thus the aggregate
population of the entire gl >be might amount
to 12,000,000.000, or twelve times ihe present

Numerors and skillful instructors regard
the Arithmetics of Professor Ray as the most sim-
ple. progressive, methodical and thorough class
books on the subject ever before offered to Ame-
rican teachers; and they are at least twenty per
cent cheaper than other Arithmetics of like size,
and of an equal amount of matter. These vol-
umes are the result ot a practical experience in
teaching ; and they are prepared in compliance
with the solicitation of many friedds of eda ation,
who were coguizant of the marked success of
their author as an instructor.

mon schools and academies; a simple, progress-
ive and elementary treatise.
Ray's Algebra, part second ; for advanced stu-
dents in academies, and for colleges; a progress-
ive, lucid and comptehensive work.;
The great excellence of Ray's Arithmetics war-
ranted the expectation that an Algebra by the
same author would be an improvement on all
similar treatises. Ray's Algebra has the appro-
bation of the most judicious educators, and is su-
perseding all others in many of the best schools in
the United States.

and is sold separately. ,
All the foregoing books have been compiled ex-
pressly for the Eclectic Educational Séries. Their
authors are piacticai teachers—men ofacknowl-

A VERITBLE SALAMANDER.
New York, Dcc. 20, 1851.
Messrs. Stearns Marvin, successors to C. Rich
«f- Co., No 146 Water street, New York:
Sirs—When the fire was consuming my place
of business, No. 216 Pearl street, I was absent in
Rennselaer couuly, testing a new cleaning apa-
ratus in connection with my Excelsior Thresher,
and did not read the account until 1 was fearful
it was too late to save my books, which were
laced in one of your Safes, purchased from Mr.
darvin some years ago. My fears were not al-
layed when I found it necessary upon my return
to apply Croton water 40 hours before I was eif-
abledto commence operations : after which it re-
quired 54 hours of labor and application of wa-
ter to raise the Salamander from its ashy bed.—
You may judge of my anxiety during this delay,
and my agreeale surprise upon opening the Safe
in the presence of a number of gentlemen, to find
my books and papers saved, and as legible as
they were previous to the fire. The intense heat
to which the Safe was subjected, can be conjec-
tured from the condition of another Safe, (not- a
Salamander) of which an iron skeleton frame
only remained, and no vestage of a book. They
were companions in the same office, on the sec-
ond floor, from which they fell upon crates of
earthenware in the cellar, the ruined Safe upon
the Salamander. If their position had been re-
versed, not even the skeleton would have remain-
ed. My loss over the insurance is $1,000, yet
the salvation of my books in your Salamander,
with the representative of upwards of $100,000,
and important documents which could not be du-
plicateu, has fully compensated me.
It will aflord me great pleasure to exhibit the
new Safe purchased of you, and explain its mer-
its, at my present office, No. 251 Pearl street,
where I shall remain until the new building, No.
216, is erected. Yours, respectfully,
JOSEPH G. GILBERT.

Indianola, May 31, 1852. jy,
THE CAPITOL, Houston, Texas.
THIS well-known Hotel, situated in the
most healthy part of the city, has un- jilt,
rgone a thorough repair. Ten new bedrooms
and a large social Hall have been added. This
house is now in all respects equal to any in the
State for comfort, both, in winter and summer.
There is no bar in the House—but a well fur-
nished one is convenient. I have employed a
cook unsurpassed by any. A well-furnished and
attended stable, with plenty of'cistern water is at-
tached to the premises. An Omnibus will be al-
ways ready to convey customers to and from the
boats free of charge.
I feel greatful to the public for their liberal pa-
tronage, and to my friends lbr their indulgent
kindness man ¡tested in aiding me to keep up
a good house. 1 am determined, if possible, to
merit that patronage and that hindness by keep-
ing as good a house as any in the State.—the
well kept houses, The Tieinont and Palmetto,
not excepted.
Passengers will be taken by the Stages as
readily from this house as any "in the city, and
their seats will be secured tor them without heu-
dranceor delay. T. B. J. HADLEY,
