TIIUUSDAY MORNING, MARCH 81, 1859. The Professor on the Great Cities. - Tlio witty writer of the "Professor at the Breakfast Table," in the April number of the Atlantic Monthly, expresses his mind freely on several of our great cities. Boston comes first, of course, and thus: ' boston. ' : "Boston is the brain of it. (i. .. the New World,) and hug been anytime theae huudred years 1 That's all I claim for Boston that it is the thinking centre of the continent, and there-fore of the planet. And the errand emporium of modostv. said the divinity-student, a littlo mischievously. "Oh, don't tolk to me of modesty I answered Little Boston I'm past that! There isn't a thing that was ever said or done in Boston, from pitching the tea overboard to the last ecclesiastical lie it tore into tatters and flung into 'the dock, that wasn't thought very indelicate by some fool or tyrant or bigot, and all the entrails of commercial and spiritual conservatism are twisted into colics as often as this revolu tionary brain of ours has a fit of thinking; come over it. No, sir, show me any other plaoe that is, or was since the mcgalosaurus has died out, whero wealth and social influenee are so fairly divided between tho stationary and the progressive classes! Show me any other place whore every other drawing room is not a cham ber of the Inquisition, with papas and mammas lor inquisitors and the cold shoulder, instead of the 'dry pun and the gradual lire' tho pun ishment oi 'noresyr " BALTIMORE. We think Baltimore is a pretty civilized kind of a village said the young Marylunder, good-naturedly. But I suppose you can't for give it lor always keeping a lit tle ahead of Boston in point of numbers toll the truth now. are we not the centro of something? "Ah, lnuecu, to be sure you are. lou are the gastronomic metropolis of tho Union. Whv don't you put a canvass-back duck on the top of tlio Washington column; Wny don t you get that lady 'off from Battle Monument and plant a terrapin in ucr pincer w ny will you ask for other glorioB when you have soft orabs? No, sir you live too well to think as hard as wo do in Boston. Logio comes to us with the Bait fish of Cape Ann; rhetoric is born of the beans of Beverly: but you if you open your mouth to speak, Nature stops them with a fat oyster, or offers a slice of the breast of your divine bird, and silences all your aspirations." PHILADELPHIA. "And what of Philadelphia?'" eaid the Mary- lander. "Oh, Philadelphia? Water Works killed by the Croton and Cochituate; Ben Franklin borrowed from Boston; David Rittenhouse, made an orrery; Benjamin Rush rnado a medical sys tem notn interesting to antiquarians; great Red river raft of medical Btudonts spontane ous generation of professors to match; more widely known through the Moyamensinu hose company, and the Wistar parties; for geological section of social strata, go to The Club Good place to live in first rate market tiiMoD peaches. What do we know about Philadelphia, excopt that the engino companies are always shooting each outer. TUT METROPOLIS. "And what do you say to Ne' York?" asked the Koh-i-noor. "A great city, sir," replied Little Boston, "a very opulent, splendid city. A point of transit of much that is remarkable, and of permanence for much that is respectable. A great money-centre. San Francisco with tho mines above ground and some of 'om under the sidewalks. I have seen next to nothing grandioie, out of New York, in all our citios. It makes 'cm all look paltry and petty. Has many elements of civilization. May stop where Venice did, though, for aught we know. The order of its develop ment is j u si mis: neaun; architecture; upholstery; painting; sculpture Priming, as a mechanical art just as Nicholas Jensonand the Aldi, who were scholars too, made Venice re nowned lor it. Journalism, which is the accident of business and crowded populations, in great perfection. Venice got as fur as Titian and Paul Veronese and Tintoretto great color- ists, mark you: magnificent on the flcsh-and- blood sido of Art, but look over to Florence and soo who lio in Santa Croce, and ask out of wnoso 101ns Dante sprung r "Oh, yes, to be sure, Venice built her Ducal Palace, and hor Church of St. Mark, and her Casa d Uro, and the rest of hor golden houses; and Venice had great pictures and Hood music: and Venice had a Golden Book, in which all the largo tax-payers had their names written; but all that did not make Venice the brain of Italy. "I tell you what, sir, with all these magnifi cent appliances or civilization, it is lime we begin to hear something from tlio jcunette dorce whose names are on the Golden Book of our sumptuous, splendid, marblc-palaced Venice something in the higher walks of literature something in the councils of tho nation. Plenty ot art, 1 grant you, sir; now, then, for vast lb brarics, and for mighty scholars, and thinkers and statesmen five for every Boston one. as the population is to ours ton to one, more properly, in virtue of centralizing attraction as the alleged metropolis, and not to call our people provincials, and have to come begging to us to write the lives ot llcnuriok Hudson and Gouv- enieur Morris I "The little gentleman was on his hobby, exalting his own city at the expense of every other place. 1 don't suppose he had been in either of the cities he had been talking about. I was just going to say something to sober him down, if I could, when the young Marylander spoke up. "Como now, ho said, what's the uso of theso comparisons ? Didu'l I hear this gentleman saying the other day that every American owns all America? If you have really got more brains in Boston than other folks, as you seem to think, who hates you for it, except a pack of scribbling fools? If I like Broadway hotter than Washington street, what then? I own them both, ns much as anybody owns cither. I am an American, and wherovor I look up and see the stars and stripes overhead, that is home to mo! "Ho Bpoko, and looked up ng if he heard the emblazoned folds crackling over him in the breeze. Wo all looked up involuntarily, as if we should see the national flag by so doing.

The Troy Budget says that a young girl of that oity, who had her ears pierced for rings died a few days since, of that operation. On the second day after tho piercing, her ear commenced gwolling, and she left employment and went home. The third day the swelling and imflammation inoreased rapidly, when she became deaf, blind and speechless; erysipelas set in, and for three days the unfortunate Buffered terribly, when death released her. Tho King of Naples is suffering from a disease in the articulation of the thigh bone, producing such extremo pain as to rendor life almost insupportablo. This disease arises from the attack which his majesty had some years back. In addition to this, the King suffers from a nervous fever, which induces frequent doUrum; and altogether the complication of disorders is so severe that even medical men do not hesitate to say that the case is incurable. How far the life of the king may bo endangered is another question; it is, however, impossible for bim to attend to public business, though up to a certain time the Giornale OJficiale endeavored to create an impression that the King wag devoted to publio affairs.
