Courant. . tjRoh Africa's LUMfNARY. TheOufan Outang. We have seen several, an itnats of the above class, in this and other 'countries, but never saw not- evr f r-hwrtl of one to compare with the fe male yurang i)utang now in possession ot Dr. S. M. E. Uoheen, ana to De seen at our Mission premises. Jenny (for so the Doctor calls her was obtained by him about five months ago from 5 a gentleman of this town, who had purchased her from a native onl v a few . . . ,. montns previously. She is four years eld, and measures two feet four- inchesri4n height, being as well proportioned, and as much like the human species iq the formation of the. different parts of the body, as any of the same class ot animals 01 wnven we have any recoru. She was taken quite young by some native Africans, and was clinging to the abdomen of her .mother when the. latter was killed ,bv them. -Her teeth are regular and perfect She has four incisors, and two canine and six molars in each jaw, and presents the 9 r- a 1 f 1 exact annearance 01 a' na man lace anti head. . . The lengfli of time she has been in a do- meticatel tate, and .particularlyj the last fveraotttHs, has siervetd ta develop the as toaishingt.degree f sagacity approaching almost to reason, with which 'hep species are furnished by the great Creator of man and brute. It is no small source of amuse ment to us, and quite a relaxation from the constant routine of business and care, to4ake a peep at Jenny-occasionally ; see hergo through her various , exercises, ail ot-whicJi are rnnst obediently performed t I the. bidding of her master- aud mark her dk lertinc nonet's of imitation. , She is lufititl eu by the neck to a ptece of wood-4r.iven in . the ground tlie end. o: which is- aboai eight , inches above the surface. , A line- Just, enough to admit -of her grasping jt byj a sltglxt. spring upwards lstasteuedby one eml to the back wall of the kitchen, .and by; the other to a fine prange tree which shades the spot. Jenny's mbvementsvou this tight rope are truly diverting. She not only suspends at ease by either hand or foot for her feet are well adhpted to all the pur-' poses for which the hand is used but walks in an erect position on the ropevhalancing herself with exact precision by theoise of her long arms. when in good humor which, by the way, is not always the case, for she, too, gets into fits of passion, and reifpiiressthe rod of correction Jenny per forms soihe exquisite feats of agility, swing ing from side to side; supporting herself by one limb, then by another; lying down ot the line, arms 'and legs suspended, mak ing somersets, and, in every possible' man ner, showing the great actiyttyv and quick ness of movement peculiar Id her race. Her attempts to open the lock by which her chain is secured, when her master de? signs to treat her with a romp among;he fruit trees in the garden, and the privilege of picking a snur sop, pa paw, or orange, are remarkable. Jenny takes the kev from the hand of the Doctor, sits down on the log of wood, and very patiently tries fo insert it into Jje hole of the padlock. After repeated failures ail most patiently endured, she succeeds the key is insert ed, but to turn it round so as to start tlie spring, -is too much for her, and she has to be indulged with some assistance. j S Nothing escapes her among the persons in emrdoy at the mission-house ; and ffery thing is imitated so ejracily, that oartrisi bles arc severely taxed ; as, for instance, Jenny concludes she ought to do some thing towards the washer woman's depart ment 1 and if she can only be indulged with a tub of water and a piece of rag, she rubsshakea- squeezes wrings with all the intense application of a hrst-rate laund ress. At her. meals, too, this imitative faculty equally observable. Jenny uses her knife and .fork .and spoon, and if the latter be hehl awkwardly,-her master demands it rem her, orders tho hand to be turned. which she obey?, and receives the handle of the 6poou between lier fingers' and thumb .! "1 It ! rf-Vt wun no inconsiaeratjte apisn crace. un serving the boy of the house cleaning the knives and forks by rubbing them on the board, Jenny concludes that her spoon ought to receive the same attention, and so gets a stone and commences an earnest rub- tnng,an operation by no means caJeaiatecr to give a very fine polish. Observing the car penters at work not long ago,she lound a nail, obtained a piece of board, and, with a small stone for a Wainnaer.began to drive in the? nail aa fairly as any young apprentice to the trade. But the most amusing is to see the effect of music on her nerves and passions : we sometimes indulge her with a visit in the mission-house, take up an accotdian and play her a tune. The excitement, the transport she is thrown into, her various gestures and movements, are astonishing. She jumps up and down on ail fours' for a while; then springs ona chair and has a, caper ; sometimes mounts on the back of the. chair, giving all the evidence of being perfectly charmed. Should Jenny ever visit the United States, we apprehend she will afford a fund. of. amusement 'for thousands of the curious. A Family Beasori for going; to Ameri ca. " I am astonished to hear this news," said Nicholas,,' Going to America? You bad no such thing in contemplation when I was with you t "No," replied Crummies, ;I hadn't then. The fact is, that41Vfrs. Cfummles-: most extraordinary woman, Johnson" here he broke off and whispered something in his ear. "Oh:!" said Nichola?, smiling; the prospect or an addition to your family?" "The seventh addition, Johnson,'' re turned Mr. Crummies, solemnly. "I thought such a child as the Phenomenon must have been a closer V but it seems we are to have another. She is a very remarka-. ble woman. " I congratulate y6u," said Nicholas, "and I hope this may prove a phenomenon too." : " Why, it's pretty sure to be something uncommon, I suppose;' rejoined- Mrv Crummies. " Thetalent of the other three is principally; in combat and serious , panto mime. I, should like this one to have a turn for juvenile tragfedy ; I understand they want something of that sort in Ameri ca very much. , However,, we must take it as it comes. Eerhaps it may have a genius fox the tight-jrope." Soid a fellow .to a "Jew, a while ago, " did you krtow that they hang Jews and Jackasses together in England ?". .

POPtJIR EDUCATION7. The admirable sneW.li of ATr .Tnnvsnv nf and, to which we made allusions a weeks ago; is eloquent in favor of Pop- Mar Education.. It is fall of illustrative faels and phUosbphicai views. We present fuT IhVr extracts : . I will not fatigue the attention of the House by dwelling; much longerlipon these gene ral considerations, but will attempt to pre sent the question to the contemplation of the House, in relation to its bearings, upoa the present age and the rising generation ; for it seems to be a controlling principle of our nature to look less at the past. and to be more indifferent of the worldly fujare, than to seize, with salutary avidity, the present; and it is. a. trait! which 'all. will admit the ex istence of in the American chaiacter, t and which controls their pursuits in'an eminent degree the acquisition, by the shortest mad, of the prize of affluence and wealth. The slow and gradual pursuit of gain, otir restive and enterprising minds will neither appreciate nor comprehend. We lie down with dreamy visions of wealth, and awake boldly nerved for its speedy attainment. But we know the value of education, and ! am confident in the belief that Government will adopt commensurate means for its more" general diffusion. And, were we to extend our inquiries abroad, in order to ascertain if there is an urgent and pressing necessity to send the schoolmaster abroad in the land," we would find, to our national re proach and deep and abiding mortification, that every region of the nation calls aloud for his services. There is no civilized and Christian nation on earth which boasts of its rennement,-4ts wisdom, and its fame, that so imperatively requires a'more liberal system of public schools. As in State Governments, so ia Nation al, . prejudices may be created ; timid appre hensions may alarm ; worse considerations thin either may influence individuals in'bp posing a measure to appropriate the public domain for the diffusion ofeducation among the States ; But; wrhen such a policy shall, and I believe and hope will, prevail, the in dividual, i it should be possible that one such could be found in Congress, who would attempt to divert that fund, once set apart, from its munificent purpose, would be. re garded as a more barbarous heathen than he who would, in other times, hive wildly rushed into the sanctuary of the solemn temples of the gods! and extinguish their vestal lights. By tHi report of the committee appoint ed by the'Legislature pf Georgia, "of 83,000 children, who ought to be in school, but 25, 000 have the advantage of any education whatever." Thus Georgia, the mother of two powerful and wealthy States, pre sents the sad picture of allowing 58,000 children to grow up within her limits in the most cruel and profound ignorance? a State which reserved in her articles of cession her just proportion of the public lands. When was the voice of that State heard in this hall in favor of a distributive share of the public lands for education, whieh she so much requires ? I have seen no report from North-Caroli- j na f'and I deeply regret that there is not a feeling of reciprocity between the States and the National Government, to furnish each with all their reports and public pro ceedings ; for, alike in State or the Nation al Legislature its members are embarrass ed in their public deliberations; from a W3nf of , access to useful reports. But' North Carolina must greatly require an improved system of education ; for you will find in the Journals of this House, in the evidence in relation to the 1 st session of the 22d Con gress, that, out of one hundred and eleven voters who gave testimony, twenty-eight had to make their marks ; in bther words, qne third could not write their names. And her voice has not been heard in this, hall or the oth.er,, claiming a. portion of the public domain for UieleducatioQ of her ignorant children. A State which is the pareut of Tennessee; a State which has the hon or of standing proudly the first to declare, by a political Mate act, fto say nothing a- bottt her Mecklenburg convention,) her de termination to be separated from the moth er country; for, on the 12th of April, 1776, the Congress 6 f North-Carolina "empower ed their delegates to declare independence." If we were to form a.genaral opinion of the condition of education in other States from circumstances, we would conclude that Kentucky is but slightly in advance of North-Carolina. You will find recorded, in your journal of proceedings, a case almost as remarkable, in the first session offtfie succeeding Con gress. That, in the evidence given in the contested election o$Moore and Letcher, of of one hundred aud twelve names of wit- In a work written by J, Sea well Jones, of North Carolina, which entiife.him to the. admiration of the country, and the lasting gratitude of his State, he Bae abundantly proved that his native State is entitled to the honor to Which I. ha ve alluded ; and since his excellent work has been published -his " Defence of tho Revolutionary History of the State of North Carolina -the distincuonwh'ich ,he has claimed for her is fulfy corroborated, if additior! proof than that which he adduces were neee$. ry, by the researches of Mi.'

'. " "f;pass over other States,'cm1 wfl?ay tt my own State is farehljid the age inme"n tal improvefgnt, from an abseuee ofamore general system o public education. ; In the Congressional district ' which I represent, there is scarcely single school in which a poor man wlio has not the means to incur the expense can have his children educated. And what, Mci President can be' more agonizing to a sensitive mind, when the physical energies are paralyzed by afflic tion, than the reflection of such a parent, i that the children he is to leave behind him are to grow up in ignorance, and to bemade the prey of every vice, and to be allured to ruin by every temptation ? Hbw different must be the decline of one, though. poor and prostrated, when he can find his pillow softenedby the belief that, though disease and povertv may harass him, his mind can still fondly linger' on the con soling reflection that his offspring, if left penhyless, will still be educated ; and how cheering the hope that their fate .may be different; and that, when the fond parentis no more, his children, by public instruction, by industry, afid the force of genius, in a country where all the avenues of enterprise and promotion are thrown wide open to character and to talents, may be useful to society and adorn his country, and rescue from the grave the name of their father, and extend it with their own through a grateful nation t By the census" of 1830, there were in the United States, between the ages of five and fifteen years, 2,845,037-white-chil dreny; the number now is more than 3,00? 000, all of Whom shohid receive a moal and useful education. Lord Brougham as serts tha ; it is not enough to say that a child cahearga aigreat deal before thege of six yeajta.; the truth is that he can 'learn, and does.lern, a grjatdeal rnore before that age than all that lie learns or can learn in all after life." I do not feel qualified to discuss, the truth or -error of. this proposi tion; but will assert that,. if it is true, eve ry one who values either the institutions of his country or the happiness of the people, must feel a strong solicitude m having schools established which wfflglve instruc tion and proper moral direction to the youth ful mind. There is po truth more fully es tablished in morals than that a nation or people are vicious in proportion to their ig norance. In illustration of the position, I will refer to, a'passe in Lord BrpugfiamV speech on education, in the House of Lords, some three years "ago. He states, that of ?-700 persons who were put on their trials in the winters of' 1830 and 1831, charged With rioting, and arson, phly 1 50 could read and write ; all. the rest were marksmen. Of the number of boys, committed to New, gate during three years, two-thirds could neither read nor write." ."At the refuge for the destitute it is still worse; for, from anexamination there m,ade, it appears that the number of chidrea re ceived who can read with tolerablefacility is in the proportion 0f only one in every thirty or thirty-five. . . .. , , But, Mr. Chairman, I feel forced to hur ry through this portion of the subject, and the reflections "which naturally arise, from it. I am quite sure that I have fatigued the House as well as myself. . - The effect of education upon a nation is irot alone in the mental and moral exalta tion of its people, but the consequence . is in equal ratio upon its phy sical energies and the increasing deyelopment of its resources To sustain the latter position I will read an extract from the very able and most valua ble work of Mr. E. C Wines on the sub ject of Popular Education.' ' Hp savs that "tne intellect 01 tnis people is not.cui-J tivated to one-fourth --scarcely, perhaps, to oner eighth- the extentat it would be by the adoption of a wise system of nniveraal education. And whoan calculate the re sults? What imagination can set limits to the pecuniary advantages that wPuld accrue to the coftntry'iP psefur inventions and dis coveries were multiplied fourfold !" That, " ia 4 VStration ? 6f this point, President Young has made a comparison, founded upon the statistics of Baron Dupin, between the commercial and manufacturing condition of England andFrapce. Frpra. thia calcu lation it appears;that the muscular force em- pioyeu in commerce ( ana- fnanuiactures in these two countries is about equal, being in each equivalent,-in round numbers,1 to the power of six millions of men.
