From the Bnickerbocke r. EIGHT soNiiOON nit BAND OF TILE AMAZON. as our , readers nre aware, is " by nature" 1 13 ne ofthe most magnificent coon. tries in the World ; and of all its provinces, Para, the name alike of the province and its principal city, is the most beautiful : the luxurient " Amazonia" is all inelnded in its boundaries ; andls indeed what, is termed the'"Paradise of Brazil:" It has been lit tle ekplortd, and little is even now known of the numerous Indian tribes dwelling in the interior. The scene r y of the Para river, on which the town is sitdated, is nnsurpass• ed for richness and variety ; its climate is delightflit; its birds are ;numerous, and of the most gorgeous plum4ge; it has an ex tensive variety of quadrupeds, from the spot ted jaguar to the little Alarm' azete monkey ; • and insects glitter conitinually in the pure atmosphere, dazzling the eyes with the light of pros. Every description of natortal his- tory, M . 64, teems with. splendid • " speci mens.* The manuscript before us is a se- ries of fresh personal adventures and remin icences, to which we proceed to invite the attention of our readers. The writer, it may be propdr to add, while in Brazil, prosecu ted vigorously his favoritestudy of Ornithol ogy, with actual " illustrations ;" insomuch that he has now in his possession one of the mast extensive and beautiful ornithological collections in the United States ; all of which were killed in the native haunts by.thc wri ter and his companion, who were undismay ed by obstacles not a few of which were suf ficiently serious to have intimidated older adventurers. But let us not keep the reader from the manuscript itself; but permit him to turn over the leaves with us, taking' here and there such passages as may strike our fancy or enlist our attention. - Here is an interesting account of the Triztettn, tespecies of bird quite abundant in Jarmo!, of which the " white throated". and the " yellow throated" are the finest specimens ; the first being black with a beautifully blended red and yellow bill, the second somewhat small er, with green reflections attd a less formi dable black. " These birds," says, the wri ter," lire principally on fruits, but when in a state of captivity learn to eat almost eve rything. Their fiivorite food is the Assuhy berry, and their method of eating 'is very re markable. They first seize the fruit in the extremity of their bill, and by a sudden twitch throw it several feet into, the air; as it drops they catch it and swallow , it entire, without the slightest draft at mastication.— They confine themselves mostly to lofty trees, where, they sit' with their beaks pointed di tiectly towards the wind, thus overcoming a power which if exerted on the broadside might considerably disturb their comfort and equanimity. Their flight is straight forward from one place to another, nod it is seldom that they make ,a curve while on .the wing. Their eyes are so constructed that they can not Isee distinctly 'ahead, but their vision on the 'side is wonderfully acute. The hunter most be acquainted with this. circumstance, or:Ii e will find it almost impossible to get a i sho at them. They build their nests in the ho ow 6f old trees and make u small circu lart perture directly in front. The female i lay but two eggs,ron which she sits, and' with her fOrmidable beak protruding from 'the Iport hole of her fortress', she is able ef fectnally to protect herself and repel all m on keyis, serpents, or other . animals or reptiles, .wli.) may be disposed to invade her sacred premises:" The writer's companion on his way back to Jun*, was something more than nano:- ed by the "monkey shines" of certain mis cl4vous little rascals, the only specimens of winch that one encounters in this country are " held,' in slavery" by vagrant Italians, whose burdy gurdy Occasionally 'resound in thapublic thoroughfares : " We met," says* 1 the r maauscript, "with but one adventure by the way which deserves , attention. Passing thrugh i a part of the stream that was dark ly hrouded by a thick forest on one side, we heard distinctly the chattering of monkeys atbpng the trees. ' Well,' said Mr. ll—, ' 'I )e.lieve I will go ashore -and give those fellows .anhot. 'You had better? remain in thd boat until I return.'

His younger brother had just arrived from Eu rope to accompani him home. Desirous of showing him the Ileauties of the country 'he suggested a trip to;Caripe, whither, in com pany with a faithful black, who had been his constant cornrienion, they all went,— Wishing one day to pass the island of Ma rajo, distant about :twelve miles, he went out in a little montarie4 with his wife and child, to gain a larger one Which was waiting for him in the river, aloitt half a mile from the shore. Through some carelessness or mis mnuagement the iboat was upset and all plunged into the . iwater. Every exertion, was made by those in the larger vessel to save-them, but without avail ; husband, wife and child were drowned., This most tragic scene • was witnessed by young ;Graham from the beach; liut alas ! he could render no assistance. What tumultuous throes of anguish must have wrung that orphan broth er's heart, on beholding chose most dear to him on earth swallowed up in a moment by the relentless wave ; leaVing him alone in a land ,of strangeri i ! Mi. Graham himself was an active swimmer, but he lost his life endeavoring to sate that of his wife. Their bodies, tighly - locked together in the em braceof death, floated ashore. They loved in life, and in death were not divided.' A rude grave was dtig in the sand, and the sad remains of worth nd beauty consigned to its bosom. Here,' amid the solitude .of a beautiful nature, and on the banks df the king of rivers, they sweetly repose. No tear of friendship bedeivs the spot, but , the rising tide of the m ighty !Amnion daily tveeps over it. Martyrs to tl4 science they so success fully prosecuted, they are calmly sleeping at • ! Ceripe : • There breathes tht• olour of summer flowecrA, Ana the music of Liras is there.'" • 1. . The reader haying now been favorably introduced to our icorrespoodent, we shall permit him to gossip with them " at discre tion." He mentions t;tis amusing occur •renee at Para: "At all the important parts of the city, such a's the palace, custom house, etc:, guards are stationed, whose business it is to be vigilant d;)ring the day, and to bait all persons who passbi,after eight o'clock at night. One c4iiing a drunken English sailor was staggering past the custom house, when he was hailed by the guard, ' Quern ear la?' '(‘ Who goes -there V) The cus tomary reply to this interrogatory, is ' Ami go;' (' A friend.' Our hero, not under standing the language, nor what business any one had to address him in such an nu thoritive tnanner,lin a stentorian voice cried out ' You skeaming Portugese :ion of a gun, stop your noise Or I'll send you, to It—ll !' The gurd, thinking of course that. he could not understand the language, and that he was merely tellinglatu so in Eng lish, let him pass!, in. One cannot forbear noticing the extreme pt4iteness of the Por tages° in the streets. It is the custom uni versally-for a Brdzilian 'gentleman on meet ing a, stranger, toltake off his hat., and bow ing, to salute him-with the popular expres sion, ' yina Senior;' I C Long life, sir.')— We were astonished at observing the respect that was paid us On our first arrival ; by the men who spoke ifild maidens who sweetly smiled.'. . . • - Some idea of the success with which our- alventurers prosecuted their researches, may lie gathered from the sub joined catalogue Of a portion of theircollec non : " Our live i.tock was quite numerous ; consisting of monkeys, an ant-sear, an ar madillo, two roseate spOonbills, and at.many egrets, together %rah several loquacioospar rots. T h ese animals afforded us an infi nite deal of amuietnent. Thehirds became so attached to tii.that they • would conic at our'call, and taki food from our hands. The parrots shortly learned to repeat two or three English pbrases,iwhich they seemed to 'de light in , repeating . continually, even to the exclusion ofibei; mother tongue.

India-rubber, oboes' ore transported from; place , to place.

The tree (Saphilla , Elasti ) is f a exceedingly pee.uliar in appearance. , t has large.thiek leaves, and reaches the he ht of eighty and sometimes an hundred feet The trees are tapped - in the same manner s the New Englanders tap maple trees, from which a thick liquid resembling cream flow out. This is collected in earthen jars, whe nit is kept until desired for use. The operation of making the shoes consists in first igniting the fruit Qf a speciekof palm; which fields a thick dark smoke. They then ttike a wooden last, with a handle, and liming poured the liquid over it, a coating of which remains, they hold it over the ignited ,fruit; the actipn of the smoke upon the gum in, time causesit to become ora black color. Af ter the requisite number of coats havd been given in this manner, the shoes are exposed to the sun to harden. India-rubber 4onsti. tute one of the principal exports of P4ra.— More than two-hundred-and-fifty thoisrinfl shoes are annually exported from this prov ince; in fact, almost all the India-rubber consumed in the United States cotes' from this source."
