A correspondent furnishes the following description of Panama, in a letter of a recent i date : j Panama is, with one exception, the mean estf dirtiest, most disagreeable, and most a ' bominable place I ever visited, and I have j'travelled considerably. The exception I re . fer to is Gorgona, on the Chagres river. Cha ; grcs, mean and contemptible as it is, is a par ! adise compared to either. Provisions of ev ery kind are extravagantly dear; the water ! is bad and scarce. The hotel acommodations i rn t tlio nirtot mtcnraKla ilocprinhnn lmnm- 1 ' nable, and there is no society of any bearable ! . . . nM . c a ? i intiiu. jl iiu iiaiivca aiu u. uuuiujouncu uuh, who know nothing and care for nothing. j Their highest ambition is only play monto "with the' few dimes they beg or earn by car , rying a traveller's trunk, or fetching a jug of water from a neighboring stream. I took ! a walk this morning to the market!-(sayelhe ' mark,) and made a note of the manner in which business is transacted there. It is an ( open space, bearing the dignified name of pla ! za outside the walls ; Panama being, as you j arc a ware, a fortified and walled city. There ! were scattered, sitting on the ground, about four hundred natives, some of them copper Colored and some of them arc as black as the !cce of spades. Each having before him or i her, on a wooden platter commodities for sale. ; Some had meat, some eggs, some yams, some !pig!s feet, with hair on, some roots of various , kinds, including potatoes ; others had oysters, spread on a leaf in parcels of a dozen, and such oysters ! others had beef and pork, cut up into chunks of about three ounces weight, and others had other things. All the ven- ders of these delicacies were as dirty as a , tropical climate, a dustv road in the vicinity :,nd a rolimmis hhstinenr.n fmm uvshimr. , could make them. To be sure, a dozen or ; so of them apparently inade an attempt to i' lonlr snrnnn. in rirrlpr to tirklfi thn Amm-i- ! spruce, cariosV" Their big feet were encased with white satin slippers; but the butt of a cigar, stuck m the braids of their wool, or behind ' , , nnnc, the ear as clerks sometimes carry their pens, ! together with their filthy dresses, showed con- r?lij.9?vplv that thfiv fnll fur shnrtnfhpinrrnp.it ; - t , , f m their appearance.

Having no money, they sleep outside the walls on bare ground. This, to gether with scarcity of food, superinduces fever and disease, and the consequence is, many die. Some of them are lucky enogh to reach California in ruined health, where they linger a few months. Their, deaths are very improperly attributed to the climate of that State, whereas it ought to be laid at the door of Pfhama ; but, in the first instance, to the imprudence of the sufferers, who, through bad advice, or other cause, neglected to pro vide themselves with through tickets. There are but few objects of interest in Panama. The churches are massive struc tures, bearing the marks of time, and like all other buildings here, public and private, are in a sad state of delapidation and decay. The way in which some of the tower bells are rung is to me somewhatjiovel. Immedi ately opposite my hotel is a church, in which service is continually performed. The rope which formerly was attached.to the bell wore out, and sooner than get a new one, a native, when the time arrives for mass, mounts the tower, and hammers away at the bell with a billet of wood. When done, he descends, and assists the padre in his administrations. In niches in the walls are images, as large as life, of the Virgin Mary, the Saviour, and the ! Apostles, all of them dressed in Spanish cos tume the Apostles having beards.and mous taches of the true Spanish cut. I should say j the Virgin is the favorite of them all, for she is evidently treated to a new frock, and a new fan oftener than St. Peter, or the other apos tles, are to new breeches. I am sorry to say I there is a great want of piety among the na ! tives, and that they prefer visiting the cock nit. or lnnfinor in thp strpnts. In ntf pnrHntr thpir r 1 ' o churches. I fear the pious monitions of the reverend padres are thrown away on the stiff necked and banana natives. This is to be re"ed, for there are churches enough hcre and PrleStS en0U5h t0 SaVe the SOuIs f all the poeple of Central America. If ru mor does not belie these holy men, thepadres themselves sometimes engage in cock-fight- ing: it is ungenerously, reported of them that fa ' J I they have the best cocks in the country, as well as the most dangerous ones. The cock pit of Panama is well worth visiting. 1 strol- 1 fa led in there on Sunday afternoon, and was , . . mucn mieresteu in wnat i saw. xnere were about two hundred natives present, each willi his cock under his arm. It bore a re- i semblance to the Exchange at 'change hour. Such a clattering and jabbering I never heard in my life. It was deafening, f At length a match was made up, and a ring was formed. The gaffs or spurs were put on, and the fight commenced. In about two minutes one of the birds received the spur of his adversary , , , , , , , , m the breast and "keeled over, dead as a o,, herring. Several other matches followed, a , . , , m, , uiiu ui;iii n.iii.iu ah ouuu. jl xiv unui ui btiu , J the deteated one as a trophy.

As you may well sup pose, hundreds of the poor fellows rushed to the'lr passages, he said he would have none applicants he said, could climb, and directed ! tliem to ascend the cocoa nut trees close by. At it they went, forty or fifty men at a time; some falling down when a little vay up and others making fruitless efforts with their feet, knees,, thighs and even toe nails, to reach tho the top, which they could not possibly do, the trees being so slippery. If it were not for its wickedness, the joke would-have been well relished. Beautiful.

A common error into which many parents fall, is to send their children to an enferior school first, and afterwards to place them in an establishment where they may, as it is termed, "finish" their education. Not only is the pupil a se vere loser by this method, but the mas ter, to whose care he is at length confi ded, experiences much additional trouble. He has not only now to lead the youth into a right path, but to lead him back from many a wrong one; not merely to urge him to the further acquisition of xnA l"e matter torty years, one half exceed good habits, but to endeavor to root out ,c? years of aSe Afc tho beginning many that are faulty. It is related by Quintilian that those who went to learn music of Timotheas, paid double price if they had received any previous instruc- tion a safe-guard I would recommend a general adoption of by good teachers.
