The principal design of before us is to explain the connection of body with mind and to show the importance of attending lo the one, in order lo secure tlie ureater Power of the other.

Ir i.i 1 1 ill. into llectual oowers nr.miilurlv exemsed. may be considered as one of the caiisos of the more frequent recurrence of this disease." Dr. ackkon remarks 'In an earl aire, before the organism has acquired its nroner develoiuue.il. I he brain its oerfeel consolidation, or the organs are confirmed in the order of their existence, premature exercises of their intciieciual faculties are the source of many disorders.

In ad.htiou to these immediate evils, tne tendency o.

mental excitement to produce insanity is well established and forms an additional ground lor cauiion. The registers of hospitals, the history, of ditlercnt periods of the world, and the statistics iiVaniiy in several countries sufficiently show this. Statesmen, politicians, and literary men are most ircpjcnuy suujeci 10 ucraug-ment. This disease is uncommon in China, Turkey, Spain, and Russia, where, from the structure ul" government and the habits of the people the mind is little ex cited, it is more prevalent in France and central Kurope. Kic'land, with more inteinget.ee and activity ol mind, nas more insanity than any other country in Europe and if recent calculations mav be relied upon, the United Stales have more than twice as many derauged persons in pro portion to their Miptiiatioii, as any other country in ine world.

The intense activity of mind, produced by the universal instruction of the people, and the slnfo for and power, to which all are led bv the institutions ami habits, are doubtless among the principal causes of this sad dirterenrc. lr. lirigham believes that the neglect of physical education, and the excessive excitement of the female mind by the intellectual efforts demanded ft jni it in the present mode of cdiicatK.ii, have also much influence in producing this result. Inrelerence to the latter is very natural in examining llie long hst of arts and sciences proposed lo be studied in our lemale seminaries, alarm should be excited in the mind of every man who knows thu ellec of excessive intellectual effort on the susceptible nerves ot females. But we suspect a full im.Mry would show lhat fashion, and prejudice, and economy, almost uniformly neutralize this They would not indeed be satisfied with a less copious if branches of instruction but they will not permit that any one should be pursued to such "an extent, or for such a length of time as to endanger that excessive study whicii is so common in the institutions for the other sex.

Sometimes, it is true, they require too intense cti'irt for two or three years, in order lo run over this great varie'y of subjects but we sus-jK-i-t liiat this has not so large a share ill producing the results in question, a Dr. H. imagines. the contrary, we believe the greatest evils aiise from that neglect of exercise, of exposure to the open air, and of active employments, which is now so universal with females during thu period of youth, an I from the influence of tasoiouabie dress and fashionable habits. We believe the remark of Dr.

U. is perfectly correct, that 44 there is probably no country where women, belonging lothe ealthy 'class, exercise so little, especially iii the air, as" in this." And it is not less true the labors ot 'females of other classes, are much more iiuitted to the house, than in most countries of Kurojie. lu short, we suspect thev must be ascribed chiefly to the third cause assigned by i r. Hrighum the sad neglect ol" physical education and this we agree with htm in believing, is one of the most fruitful causes of debility of constitution an.1 feebleness of chamct r. This neglect cads as certainiv lo the decay individuals, and of course ultimately, of llie community and llie nation to which thev belong, as positive i jobs in intellectual ef-trts.

When both are combined, no human iK.wer can arrest the progress of decline, in one person or in great numbers. And this progr ss will more rapid ami ruinous when it continences uitli that sex who will give to the next generation, to a great extent, their con st ami character. But that predominance of the nervous system, which is so nhviouslv produced bv excessive mental gives rise tu evils more serious than bodily disease. It imnairs directly the moral energy. It renders the will feeble and dilating, and almost excludes tlie possibility of that energetic and persevering action, which is indispensable to the accomplishnienl of great objects, or even lo the faithful n-rloriiianee of dally duties.

And while the oer of ill- w.ii is thus diiiuutshcd, the nerves become unnaturally suecptiuc to those vv nirn excite appetite or pasiou, as wi ll as those which produce int. activity. Strange as it would appear at Hrst sioht. evces-ive inte.u-ctuat acli ot.en leads, in tins way, lo -xee-ive nuality. In evidence of this we might reler to tuanv examples of tho-e literarv men.

of mind which are forced or umiataial, whether eftho of ihe memory, the imagination or the aff-ci ions, are dangerous during child hood. At this period of life, the brain should never compelled lo pertiit'iii a task which is ialioriou to it, nor excited to elforls whit-h are iiuutiiiiral, cither by threats nr uromises. or rewards, or m-rsuasions, even suffered lo attempt excessive acquisitions.

Wc liud, however, that as trie brain does not appear to be completely formed until the seventh year: it is the gene ral opinion, of medical men 44 from the highest an iouity that close application of mind should not be required dur ing the first six years .4 lite. But we hear the inquiry from some of our startled readers, 44 Are our children then to grow up in ignorance W.Mild physicians starve them in order to prevent their being surfeited Far from it. A similar objection has been made and answered a thousand times, in reply to the arginvnts and directions for moderation in food. It is mado only from the feeling, which our immediate sensations encourage, that the strength acquired, is in proportion to the quantity of food devoured and vvt'hou any reference to the fact, that all which is not digested, however wholesome in itself, is but a load upon the system, which produces nothing but oppression and disease. These wise advisers do not propose that children should grow up ignorant for this would be ini-iMctssibtc without confining them, like Caspar Hauser, in darkness and silence Hut they urge, that during llie lirs: yesrs of Ihe periods of direct instruction should only be occasional and brief, that he would si.ff.ir tne mind to aeiure ideas bv ranging among the world of ob- tects, instead of confining it to the mere marks of sounds the letters and words of a language and al the same tune, enfeebling the body by the impure air and close imprisonment of a for six hours ill the day.

Still they would cheerfully admit, lhat even this far better than a similar confinement ill many of the a- bodes of novitr'v, or neglilence, or vice. Thev beg pa rent, to be salishcd while ihe mind and the brain aru yet so immature, with the knowledge which a child is agerly and constantly drinking in. from every ohje which he sees, and every sound which he hears, and wish every individual with whom he converses knowledge incom parably better adapted to expand and iuqirove llie mind than the mechanical repetitions pflessons which do not reach tin Timlerstandingor affect the heart. They would simply require that the rule, to lecd bribes with milk and not with meat," should be applied to intellectual as well as lo nirtral subjects. They would also urge, that our Infant and Primary schools should be rendered asylums of infancy, where it mav resort for that atteclinnate aim constant care which the circumstances, or health, or character of its parents may render il impo-sible al home a care which should watch over the body and Ihe heart as well as the intellect.

The wisest and ablest observers ot the infant mind unite with the immediate guardians of the bodv, in protesting against that system which converts those iiicim into in'rtleetunl hut-hjurs, where the child is uriicd forward bv every motive which ingenuity can de vise, or uHi-ction and often piety can present, lo an in tensity and amount of effort altogether di.sproportioned to its strength, and whoso ultimate effect must bu to im pair the vl or of the body and the energy ol the mind, Albamy, March 7.

We expressed the other day, in a brief manner, our notions of the evil consequences which would result to this state, and to this city more especially should the bill before the legislature for reductnr the rate of Bank discount to five and a half per rent become a law. Our state banks bae already contend with the great nited States monopoly on very unequal terms. Every bank in this city, ex cept the Branch Bank of the United States, has to pav a tax to the state the same character witl the tax imposed upon individuals for their personn property and all whose charters are of recent date or have been recently renewed, have to pay another tax to the Sufetv Fund. I fin addition to tlVsc bur dens our banks should be prohibited from tnkins as much discount by a half per cent, as the nitei Slates Bank charges, it is questionable whether their profits would not so much diminished as to of them to close their business, am thus force a tare amount of capital into other chan nels. If the legislature really wishes to do the public a service bv a sound and wholesome law on the subject of interest for money, let them do away at once with all laws against usury, and leave mo ney, like any other commodity, to find its own value in the market.

No rate of interest can be fixed upon, which may not at one time be more than the real value of the use of money, and at another less. If we lay out money in a house and lot, we may -hnrre what rent we nleasc for it: and we should i like to be informed of any govd reason why tl monev with which the property is purchased should be subject to any greater restriction than the pro perty. The price of all other commodities is regu lated bv the amount of demand and the degree of competition let capital be put upon the same foot ing, and great and iniportantservice will be render cd to the community. With reoard to the rate of interest to be charged in cases where no specific agreement may have bee entered into, no difficulty whatever could arise ft commercial usage would soon establish a sure anil equitable standard, better by far than the sweeping and invariable provision ofa law. In the Board of Aldermen on the 7th instant, the following Resolution was presented by Alderman James Palmer, read, and laid on the table Whereas the law atithoririu? the appointment of i CoiniiiiKaaouers fcr Ihe purposes ol reporting on Ihe nest source from wbenrc lo procure an abundant supply i.t I.ure and wholesome water for the City of New-Yoik i as been passed by the Legislature And whereas there is in Uus cominiiiul a number of gentlemen who have leisure and are would undertake lhi work without compensation, (except their actual expenses) and wauld give I'tiH satisfaction lo the Common Council and this community Therefore, Resolved.

That the Commissioners so appointed by the Governor and Senate receive their t.flice as purely honorary, an without compensation, except as relates tu their actual expenses, which expenses are to be paid by the Corporation." We have good reason to know that Alderman Palmer's excellent resolution is well founded. There can lie no sort of doubt that there are intelligent, high-minded, and active citizens in this community who would cheerfully take upon themselves the duties of Commissioners in this matter cf supplying the city with pure water. It is therefore to be hopec mat tne appointment oi ttiese oomnussioiieis in not be seized hold of as an occasion for laying an other burden on this community, in the shape of high salaries, perquisites, to favoritcs.speculatorsand time servers. Periodical Litek ati-be. Some circumstance or other seems to have given a new and tmusnai spur to hlerary enterprises of a periodical character lately Wilhin a week or two past, a great number of works ol this description have been placed before us for notice Besides Uie three monthly publications in this city whicl wc have before spoken of, the Knickerbacker, the chanics' Magazine, and Ihe American Monthly, we have also to mention the Mechanics' Assistant, a duodecimo monthly miscellany, published by C.

C. Cohen Vale, which has reached its second number and the Adelphic edited by a committee selected from the Members of the Adelphic Society of the University of New a monthly publication. We have bt- fore us hkewise the February number of the Americr.n Annals of Education and Instruction, from which wc se lect an interesting article for our paper to-day, on the subject of the influence of mental education on health Ihe first numlier of a periodical commenced in Utica, tin derthctitJe of the Mother's Magazine, and edited by Mrs. A. G.

Whittrlsey and the second number of an other monthly pultlication undertaken in Utica, called the Talisman, conducted bv tlie senior CI ss of Hamiltoi College. There are some of these magazines which we shall from time to lime recommend lo our readers bv selecting passages of their content for our paper. A Paris paper mentions among the things most wor thy of remark at present in Spain, the appearance of a semi-weekly journal, entitled the Spanish Review, (Rerita Exjianota) composed on the plan of the French and English reviews and published under the auspices of the Queen. This sheet, the principal editor of whicii is Don Jose Maria Carnerero, and which is to have obtained great circulation, treats of nearly all the topics which might be expected from its title. Statistical, not strictly poUtical, articles, matters relating to finance and to morals, are mingled with notices of literature and the fine arts.

"The great favor'' says the French paper which this magazine enjoys and wtdch increases with every number, proves sufficiently the taste of tlie Spaniards for solid and diversified information, and shows how well they know how to profit by a free press." 'A Frenchman, Ambrose Tardieu, has lately publish ed at Paris, a set of geographical globes, which he has employed three years in bringing to perfection. TI globe of Mons. Tardieu is a spherical bus, composed of some flexible material, and rendered air tight, This, when blown up my means of an aperture at one of the poles, is a perfect globe, on which all the geographical features and civil divisions of the earth are' delineated. When collapsed it can be carried in the pocket like an At las. A globe of eighteen inches in diameter answers all the purposes of a complete Atlas of modern veon-anhv.

or. i It is constructed so as lo show the last improvements of the science; all llie routes ofdiscoverersdrora Christophe- Columbus to reyemet, Duperry, Dorville and Beechey are traced upon no recent and positive discovery is omitted. The idea of inflated geographical globes is not a new invention, though we aro not aware that it has been made much use of. In one of Miss Edgeworth's Tales, pub lished some twenty years since, a scientific toy of this kind is mentioned. The Governor of the State of Maine has declined com plying with the requestof the Legislature to furnish them Tx oruTEast ersTB ouadary ted to the Senate, he remarks, lhat the publication ot uie report at present might injuriously affect the negotiations on foot in relation to the question witn ureai Britain, lie adds, however, that tho subject win not oe finally acted upon until it shall have been laid before them for consideration.

Peteksbcrc, Va, Alarch 1. Accideji on the Rail Ko tlx As rumor has greatlv magnified an accident which lately occurred ou the railroad, we have beeti at some pains to culled a statement of facts. It appears that onAloiidav, as the locomotive and train approached llie bridge over Ihe Three Creaks, about three mib-s from Beilield, a young man who was silting on one side of the tender, carelessly attempted to draw in his legs, which were hanging over on the outside, hut, projecting them loo far across the road, he struck against one of the posts of the bridge, and as knocked oft and fell on ihe rails, the cars passing over one of his arms from the to near the wrist, mangling il in a shocking manner. He was immediately placed in one of the coaches and the train procevded on Bc-lfield at a velocity increased by the desire of the Engineer to procure medical assistance as speedily as possible. On arriving at the Bclfield Depot, either from a sudden order to change the direction, or from some other cause, Ihe turnouts had not been properly placed, and, before the error could be corrected, the Engine anil Tender, under a heavy press of steam, were precipitated otf the rails.

The Engineer and attendants were thrown out, hut scaped with no oilier injury than a few trifling bruises. The engine does not appear, from a hasty examination, to have been materially injured. The tender had her supply pipe broken, and tlie reservoir much shattered. The passenger coaches escaped without the least injury. It is a remarkable circumstance that the only personal injury of any conseq uriice, caused by this accident, was that sustained by the black man who was endeavoring to arrange the turn out, but not being able lo get out of the way in time, the knocked him down, and ihe wheels pasro-d nver the ends ofthe fingers of one hand.

The transportation of produce and passengers will suffer no interruption fiotn this aecident, the company having immediately placed en the line a siilficient m.ni-ber of horses, by hich means the communication ill be kept up until the locomotive is repaired, or the arrival of others; two of which are daily expected from Liver-j pool.
