VOL. XI. FAT MEN. the of Rev. Henry Giles, now going through the press of Mesir Ticknor, Reed Fields, Boston.

"There is something cordial in a fat 4BU1. Every body likes him, and he likes everybody. Your Ishmaelitesare, in truth, bare-boned ace a lank tribe are they and bile. Food does a frf Man good clings to him, it fructifies upon him he swells nobly out, and fills a generous space in life. He is a living, walking specimen of gratitude to the bounty of the earth, and the thereof: an incarnate testimony against the vanity of care a radiant manifestation of the wisdom of good humor.

A fat man, therefore, almost in virture of heine a fat man. per a popular man and commonly he deterves his popularity. In a crowded vehicle the fattest man will ever be the first to make room. Indeed, he half sorry for his lest it be in the way of oihers but would not have him less than he is for his humanity Usually commensurate with his hulk. A fat man has abundance of rich juices.

The hinges of his system are well oiled the aprings of his heincr are and so he goes his way rejoicingr in full contentment and placidity. A fat man feels his position solid in the world he knows his being is cognisable he knows he has a marked place in the universe.and that he need take no extraordinary to advertise mankind that he is among them he knows that he in no danger of being overlooked. Your thin inin uncertain, and therefore he is uneasy. He may vanish any hour into nothing already he almost shadow, and hence it is that he nses such laborious efforts to convince you existence to persuade you that he is actually something that he is more than non-entity thai he a positive substance as well as corpulent IV1 low creature. It really does t.ike a deal of Wrong to make one hate a fat man and if we are not always so cordial to a thin man we ought to be, Christian charity should take into account the force of prejudice which we have to overcome against thinness.

A fat man is the nearest to that most perfect of a mathematical eptiere, a thin wan to that most limited of conceivable dimensions, a simple line. A fat in.in, is a being of harmonious volume, and holds relation to the material universe in every direction a thin man has nothing but length a thin man, in fact, is but the continuation of a Literary Messenger. The Bolton Manchester Guardian a long account of the second interview between Mr lladduck a friend of Kir John Franklin, and ihe Bolton Clairvoyant. She professed to have had interviews with Sir John Franklin, and Sir James Ross, described their position in the ice, with sundry other minutiae. She said she had some refreshments with Sir John Franklin, who had his provisions in thick tin Loxes.

Sir John, she said, would be out of the ice in less than nine months, That it was ten Minutes past eleven by Sir John's time and a quarter ist ten a good while after, by Sir James Ross' time. That she went way further than Sir James Ross, where it was very dark, and the stars wenf round and did not twinkle, but she was tare it wes quite ridiculous to attempt find a road for ships over there. Tlut she found Sir John in a house made of large blocks of ice, about 9 yards from the ship. That Sir John had been a great way over the country, but had returned to his That Sir John Franklin had seen the natives, but not Sir James Ross, and that there were two ships on their way home which would bring good news.

While the Vessel was cruising about in the vicinity, some two weeks later, the boats returned, and the sailors reported that on going ashore they had been seized bythe natives and exhibited through the country as curiosities, until their exhibitors were tired, when they were set free, and were treated with the utmost kindnest.

Then wast thou not, Fair doubly blest, When God's protecting hand did o'er thee rest?

BURLINGTON. IOWA. JANUARY 3. 1850. From California.

The following letter was written by our late Presley Dunlap, to Mr Wm Garrett, of this place. It is one of the most interesting letters we have seen from California, and it must be peculiarly so to our readers in this part of Iowa, on account of its very proper particularity in mentioning the names and whereabouts of so many who formerly resided in this Vicinity. The announcement of the mclancholy news of the deaths of HOLLAND, who was well known as a valuable Representative in the Iowa Legislature from this County, and of Lieut who distinguished himself in the Mexican War, has thrown quite a gloom over the circles of their former associates. Through auother channel we have learned that young KILBOURN is also dead. We tender our warmest sympathies to his bereaved parents in view of their great loss.

In connection with the above, we would announce that WM. L. MAT of Peoria, and formerly a Representative to Congress from the Sangamon District in Illinois, also died at San Francisco, shortly after his arrival. SAcRA.MKtfro CITT, (Alta Cal.) OCT. 15th, 1849.

A valuable corps of 200,000 men, artned, equipped and disciplined, can be ready for the field in thirty days after war is declared, and so it may be said of the ships of war. We will state one fact illustrative of this position.

During the war with England, and while stationed on the Barbary coast, we were surprised one lay, while exploring the ruins of Carthage, to see a sharp clipper built schooner under full sail, with the American flag floating to a brisk breere, doubling Cape Bon aud making directly for the bay. We rode down to the fortress of Goletta, ordered a launch to be made ready, ami found ourselves alongside the schooner just as she had cast anehor. "Where are you from, sir?" "From Boston," replied the Captain, smart, dashing looking young fellow. "In what passage?" "Twenty-three days, sir." We began to have our Twenty-three days from Boston? We suspected she had been fitted out at Marseilles to cruise in the Mediterranean. It was the Abelino, Capt.

"Very easily, sir." We then read the following section from our treaty with POWER. The London Times says that, considering the vigilance with tehich the Americans have maintained the general effectiveness of their navy, it seems singular that they should have taken no particular pains to angment it, although remarkably attentive to armaments and dock-yards. There never has been, at any period, a desire on the part of our people to increase the navy to any extent beyond hat was necessary to protect the interests of commerce in various parts of the world.

A heavy naional debt, the title of 'mistress of the and a never-failing desire for wars and But we have a substitute worth more and in fact more potent, than all the of England and that is our private artned mai rine.
