They now run with more power a.nd smoothness, ar.d are better adapted for magnetizing patients than any other in use. Each case is accompanied with a Manuel (11th edition, p. 400, 32 mo.) in the English or Fre"nch language, according to order, which contains clear and minute directions for the proper use ol'the instrument in the various diseases to which it is applicable, which are found to include many of the most peculiar and obstinate that are known to the medical profession. The Manuel also con tains a synopsis of the different systems of medi cal practice, Allopathic, llomcapathic, and Mag nopathic, with a full glossary. Physicians and others are cautioned against nrch;sinj: the imitations of these machines, as they will be fou.'id of comparatively little value.

They are prepared by us under the direction of the Executrix of the estate of the late.Dr. Sherwood, to whom, by his will, his medical recipes are intrusted in the same manner in all respects as heretofore, and are always accompanied by Dr. Sherwood's val uable medical treatise upon the treatment of Chronic Diseases, a work which was the result of many years of labor and research, ancl which shows iu the clearest manner the principles up on which the operation of hia remedies is found ed and their mode of cure.

New Zealand Cruising Ground, ) Soutii Pacific Ocean. f The recent capture of one right-whale, getting fast to another, and pursuit of sev eral iiujie, and the sight of them blowing all around, close at hand, and at a dis tance, naturally puts one upon impairing into the habits and resorts of this great sea monster. It is of the class mammalia, or der cetacea, bringing forth its young alive, generally one at a time, and giving them suck. It is not, therefore, a fish, but is without scales, breathes the air through lungs, and respires by what is called its spout or blow holes, a kind of nostrils, or in other words, two apertures situated on the after part of its head and neck, through i which is forcibly expelled all the water taken into the mouth in the act ot feedinir or breathing. The form of the spout serves to distin guish at a distance the kind of whale, whether right-whale, fbalaena mjsticetusj or sperm. The right-whate having two both states, and as entangled in the hairs- of dead whales. The quantity necessarv,- for the animal's support must be prodigi- i . - At. . ous. 1 can uouosy appreciate uuw mat amusing passage in the Holy War, where liuiiyan says, -i il ly Aiansoul Uul not stick noi boggle at a monstrous oath that sdW would not desert Diaholus, hut swallowed it without shewing, as if it hud been a sprat in the mouth of a whale."' This feed is supposed to lie generally rather deep under water in these seas, as whales are often taken in greatest number where none of it is to be seen on the surface, in the Green land anil Arctic seas, it often covers miles and miles in extent; thick enough, it is said, to impede the course of a ship; and. perhaps, in the economy of Providence whales as well as sharks are but the scav engers of the great deep, to consume, what vvo'i'd otherwise putrefy and decay. The internal anatomy of a whale is & subject of great curiosity, and i wish it were in my power to report a tull and ac curate post mortem of the subjects we have discussed. Iut a few clinical notes taken bv the bedside, as the whalemen have b'ecn operating with their professional spades and lances of dissection, are all we have ta exhibit. From the size of the intestine of the lat we have dissected, it is reasonable to infer that the great aorta of one of the largest kind can hardly be less in diameter than the bore of the main pipe of the Crotou water works; and the water roaring in it passage through that pipe is inferior in im petus and velocity, to the blood gushing from the whale's great heart. In Dr. Hunter's account of the dissection of a. small whale, this aorta measured a foot in diameter. 15 or 20 gallons, then, of liv ing blood are thrown ordinarily out of the heart of the whale at a singly stroke, with an immense velocity, through' the great bore of a blood vessel, or rather blood aque duct, more than a. foot in diameter. The whole idea fills the mind w ith wonder. Until within a few years this gigantic game, as Burke justly 'called . it, has been every where so abundant that whalemen have used no means to keep their rich pri zes from sinking; but when one has gone down worth Si 500 or 82000, or even S3000, they have taken it as whaleman's fortune, and have gone to capturing others instead. In some voyages they say' more w hales have sunk than have been saved. The useless devastation thus caused among those hu'ge denizens of the deep has been very great. One practical whaleman cal culates the number of whales killed in one season on the northwest coast of Kam chatka at 12,000. large orifices on the top of the back part of its head as it lies along in the water, the spout of vapor anil water ejected is forked lit! us iorce is spent. fall over on both sides. at a distance in shape like a parted into two branches. This can be easily perceived when the whale is either coming directly towards, or nowxr ilirpctlv fIFfllll! thn shin, the ietSt ' &"" " 1 7 .... I eau being sometimes thirty or even titty feet high. The sperm whale, on the otlier hand, has but one blow hole, and that a lit tle on one side or corner of its head, from which the ejected stream issues obliquely, ;h side of the spine. 11. H.

Its nrouellers and means of defence are two fins planted a little behind the head on each side, and the flukes of its tail also, with which it sculls and attempts to strike its enemy. The natural working of them on their joints by the waves, after the ani mal is dead, will always carry the carcass to windward. Of one that I have measur ed, the fins were five feet long each, and the ilukes twelve feet across, being hori- - r .i .1 t l n .1.:..,.. zontal- vji anoiiier, me uouv is imiiy nine feet long and nineteen feet round, the head seven feet from its tip to the spout holes, three feet from the upper outside superficies to the roof of the mouth insid-e, making its entire head, with the mouth closed, about 7 feet in diameter, or 21 feet rourrd. The length of another which I have exactly measured, a sperm whale, was 59 feet long, and 30 feet round. The ear of the whale is extremely small, and so hidden like a mole's, that you would not find it without diligent search. Still the creature is thought by seamen to be quick of hearing, as well as sharp of siht. The organ for the latter sense is oKmt ns laro-fi as the eve of an ox. The head of a right whale, when his mouth is open in feeding, or when he breaches, as I have sometimes seen him do quite out ot water, is a most uncouth and formidable sight. It looks at a little distance like the black, rugged mouth of one of those laya caverns a traveller meets with on the is land of Hawaii. The huge lips close from below upward, and shut in, when the mon ster has t a mouthful, upon nis mumm whalebone cheeks, like the great valve of a mam moth bellows, or the water gates ot a canal lock. . .
