Buckle has *elusively establisrietitliat to understand properly the s history of the world' or even of a single- nation, it is "necessary to study the mental peCullarities • and manifesta tions of its components. Science treats of the physical phenomena; history, of the mental. The laws governing both are deducible from the collective experiences and observations of its students,' and froth such ell'ectS as s ist the course of varied transmutations, are left indeli bly impressed upon the tablets of the past: Scientific observerri having to deal chiefly with certain discovered ithuustable principles (manifesting themselves, it is true, through di verse and: domplex combinations), have been Onahled so to systematize and arrange, that Comparative accuracy has been attained. Not aomith mental students.. Though there are dontitleSS vast underlyhig laws 'governing the manifestations of. mind, such has been the carelessness or inability of those engaged in its stntlylhat these have refrained, as yet, buried in oblivion. Hence, though enough is known to faddy the close observer that mind is eon . trolled , its development by as :rigid laws as thoseamerating purely with physical forces, the period of thoSe Comprehensive generalisations that ;stall snake knoWsi and define them is yet to come: So 4aStis the toil and so incapable the toiler, aealith us he necessarily must with what is part Of hisindividuality, swayed by the power of the very laws he strives to comprehend, that it is no:great wonder that satisfactory elucida tion has not been completed. Just as the traveler is unable to attain any one point from 'which he can encompass the entire earth, so is it impossible to grasp the extended range of mental topography. Now high upon some dizzy height, the adventurous climber catches forufeW brief moments a breadth of vision • that almost startles him with its extent' ; then,. deep in some secluded valley, he scarcely com prehends the view. that shuts him in. So' intimately blended are physical and mental manifestations that the latter cannot be fully understood unless in connection with the former ; that is to say— , -mind being' only able to manifest itself through physical organs, that are constantly under the operation of physkallaws, is consequently more or less in fluenced thereby. No exalted traits of thought can be - Snstained continuously for any lengthy period, from the sheer want of physical en durance. Thns s in prder to discover and un derstand the laws governing mind, it is of par amount importance to be thoroughly ac quainted with those governing matter. Within the lireits of an introduction of this nature, to attempt to illustrate by familiar ex ample the intimate relations existing between these two sets of laws, and draw from, thence the legitimate conclusions, would be impos sible. :To hint at rather than to develop—to suggest rather than to propound a theory—is the object of this paper. Geology .teaches, through those who can read its rock-written tomes, that there was a time when. ast animal monstrosities reamed at will through giant forests whose undets brush equalled in size our oaks; that the con vulsive throes of a teeming world upset moun tains,' displaced oceans, buried vast tracts of luxurious vegetation in one mighty ruin; that from these , chaotic revellings a higher grade of beings sprtuig into life; that these in turn were overwhelmed to make room for an im proved order of things. ThuS was our earth through much tribulation fitted to receive its crowning inhabitant; 'Masi: The Creator,hav lug finished the details of this grand under taking,seerris to have delegated to His creature the work from Which He rested. Mind, wadi festing itself through matter, now first assumes control, and, though slowly and ignorantly, still, starts upon the duty to which it was as signed. ' Froth the beginning the world, both naturally and Mentally, has been improving; there has been 'a gradual tendency towards perfection. The bin& and rigorous elements are softening; the tough edges are becoming worn away— the jagged - points toned down. On the continent of Europe, where now clamber' in' rich luxuriance the "gladdening vines, hung with &Wing ClusterS that Make merry the:heart s the darklyinterlaced branches of the bleak Hercynian forest shut out the light of day. : Cold and drear were the winds that moaned through its darksoine arches. The howl of the wolf was heard where now the perfuMed breezes fan the cheekti of rtuldy maidens who sing as they tread the wine press. - The constant - change in the Isothermal lines seems to indicate a tendency to equalize the temperature. Who can tell that future gene rations-win:net enjoy conditions of climate we dream not of? Thus with mind. The tendency is , toward perfection. Great convulsions have occurred in the mental as well as in the physical synrld,and the consemiences base ultimately been the es tablishment of a superior order of things. The mental night during the middle ages might ap propriately be compared with the sterile, dark ness of the Hercyniari liirest. As the growth SiiPerStitibils ignorance was uprooted, the operation of new lawsproduced vastly bene ficial results. The Protestant Reformation swept away vast tracts of gloom and admitted the 'genial influences 0f,.. the sunlight of truth. A striking proof of this general tendency may be had in the study of the French and .English intellect from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The history of the Scotch intellect—so pain ful in itself, yet at the same time so full of in struction—is but another proof. The harsh and repulsive manifestations are gradually becom ing softened to something like an endin able temper. It .is almost impossible for us Who, from the pinnacle of the nineteenth century,look at the mental picture spread out, to conceive of, its absolute reality. Yet is not indignation wasted in condemning the manifestations of the intellect of that time as much as if employed in inveighing against the natural world for its tardy advancement? The grand aim of thinkers should he to search after that knowledge, which, by dispell ing the gloom of ignorance, tends towards the amelioration of the condition of mankind. As the laws governing mind and matter come to be fully comprehended, the union of the knowledge thus obtained will doubtless result in more radical .advancement than we are at present capable of conceiving.

WIRE SLAVE MARKET IN ZANZIBAR. A writer in :11/winbers's Journal says : "The most Curious feature and characteristic of Zanzibar is its slave market. There are gene rally two sales a day, at which many'hundreds of unhappy wretches are bought and sold.. Let us take a peep at this mart of Marian flesh and blood. Leaving, then, the busier portion of the town, you pass up a long and quieter. street, where fruit shops, tailors' and black smiths' stalls do most abound; passiiig by ninny a queer-looking mosque and an cient 'temple, you come at length to a short lane, which leads directly into the market. It is a large unpaved square, situated in the rear of the principal houses, its other three sides composed of shabby lints, some of, which' are used 'for examining any . particular slave before making the purchase. The first sale is generally most crowded. The centre and largest portion of the square is filled with the slaves, who—their chains removed—are seated in rows on the ground; and although they have received a full meal of shark and rice, to cause them to look cheery, . appear about as happy as a flock of sheep newly :re suscitated after spending three 'weeks beneath the snow in a Itigliland glen. ' "Walking about among these, looking in their mouths, digging their ribs, talking with and generally criticising them, is a band of the strangest, .wildest; and withal most roman.: tic-looking men I O'er witnessed outside Drury Lane Theatie. Therlire — for the most part Arabs—gentlemen Arabs, they style themselves —and the term is by no means often misarr plied. Tall, handsome fellows they .are too, and of all colors, from the pale white - face of the Persian to that of the black and savage African. They are dressed in flowing robe of white cotton, bound with scarlet or blue braid, reaching to the calf of. the leg, and begirt with a beautiful broad belt, richly • gilt and studded with gems. From this depends the straight Arab sword—a right deadly weapon in practised hands—and one or two silver mounted pistols, besides a jewelled dagger or dirk. Over this dress is loosely anti negligently worn a large flowing cloak of camel's hair, green, black oi- brown, sometimes even yellow. The head is either shaven or the hair flows down to the waist in dark and glossy ringlets. 'pie head is bound with a gilded turban, while sandals adorn Ins feet; and grasping in his -right hand a tall.spear, and dangling on his left arm a small round shield, studded with silver nails, there, in all his pomp 'and pride, struts sour f 2 entleman Arab. "Of These gentlemen,', most ,of whom have come from Araby the Blest and the rosy shores of Persia, many are decidedly good-looking. Old and young, they are for the most part well formed and strong, and would make very fine soldiers. Indeed, soldieme they are; although on their own account; and a strange, eventful life they lead, with their hand against every man and rice 'verso. Yet, although some 6f the oldest ate venerable and reverend-looking, reminding one of the pictures of the Patriarchs by Dori, still the majority are very Shylocks; and, if cunning links in one eye—and there is' no mistake about it—the very devil gleams from under the white and bushy eyebrow of the other: They are for the most part captains and owners of northern dhows, and, although preferring peace, thefare willing, for their cargo's sake, to fight to the* death. " But . the sale has commenced.. Look at that brute—that black fiend in human shape, himself a slave once, but raised to the dignity of slave-driver, auctioneer and skipper of a miserable dhow, because inherently cruel ! Mark how he seizes yon poor young trembling slave from her hus))and's'side,and drags her by 'the arni'swiftly thintigli .the crowd, catching the sound of the bids' and repeating them in his own barbarous dialect as he rushes' on: :‘ Two 'dollar and a half! Two dollar and a half! Three dollar-I Three dollar I No more! Three dollar-! - Three dollar and a half! Four! Four and a half!' And mark —without emotion, you can—the pitying, bewildered -' glance 'of her hus band's eye - as it, follows his , poor wife through the market. , The pelele has been ruthlessly torn . from her lip, and the rings from her ears, and she bows, her head and weeps, as, with her disengaged hand, she modestly endeavors to cover her breast with the blue rag—her wily clothing—which the huriying wretch has. disarranged. - 'Her hus band is thinking perhaps of their home far away in the quiet forest, and of the nut-brown maiden be wooed there not so long ago. But she is Sold, and hurriedly dashed into the arms of the buyer; and another, and another, and still another are seized, to go through the same process. The husband and wife, and many husbands and wives, will ,see no more of each other, in this world at least; and young and old, male and female, arc dragged about, and still the sale goes briskly on. "The drivers or auctioneers—stmirdy swarthy blacks, dressed, apparently, 'in guano-bags,. with a short knife in the girdle, often In their 'limy come into collision with each other; then dreadful oaths and imprecations are heard, blows are struck and blood Shed,' till the gentlemen Arabs' ruSli in, and with the butte of their spears belabor and separate the foamy mouthed combatants. The slaves are now rapidly changing hands. Every Arab merchant is forming' his- own gang; chains are being slipped oft again; amid, two and two, they stand piepated for the march. The din and hustle gradually subside, and soon the square is all but deserted. Buyers and the bought are for a time separated; and while the former are regaling themselves on fruit amid sherbet, pre paratory to dining in gorgeous rooms and gilded saloons, the 'latter are treated worse than sheep, and left to pass the - night in loath some dens, slimy with damp, ,and filled with such creeping abominations as a Zanzibar dungeon only can prodnee. "But there is one corner of the slave-market which deserves a little attention. This is an out-of-the-way nook, set apart—start not, dear civilized reader—for the exclusive disposal or vendition of the 'fairest of the fair.' '0 Nanny, wilt thou gang me?' is by no means the motto of a gentlenian Arab; and because the number of ladies in his harem is the criterion of his rank, just as the number of horses or hounds may be of a line old English gentle man,' he takes care to possess himself of as many as he, can, decently maintain. -- 1 would not undertake to say Low many, wives the Sultan posseSses, but 1 believe they are not .muo fewer than those that: were in the estab lishment of Solomon.
