The Chair will be taken at one o'clock. prschWy. We arrived at the pass at half-past three P. M. The wind blew from the north, and as it swel•t up the vast anrface of snow, was extremely cold to oar feelings. The thermometer stood at 40, a higher temperature than was looked for, considering the latitu le and elevation at which we were; the snow had melted from off the southern face of the range, and disclosed the slope of the crest, upon which we pitched onr tent, of no great sire, vet including within its area part of the inferior boundary of snow that extended contiguous to the sum mit of time eastern peak or wall of the pass. We were only four yards from the ridge, which was clothed with uththomed snow and ice, descending in one sheet along a declivity, which terminates with the Sutluj, at the pro digious depth of 9,000 feet. It is impossible to describe the scene of admiration and wonder that presents itself to the astonished eye of the traveller, who, from so detailed a spot, beholds halts of !mountains, confounded is shapeless irregula rity, and raising their mural crests high into the circle of perpetual winter. The view to the northward baffles description, nor is the nearer prospect at all inferior ; for here you stand encompassed with wreck and desola tion on every side, and the straining eye, at last dim with the snowy splendour of the more distant landscape, finds no relief in the surrounding objects, which show no trace of industry, no vestige of animated existence, ex cept a scanty growth of moss that studs the last remains of soil, and a few lichens, that appear more elevated in the crevices of the rusty crags, while the last stage of organic life is recognized in the birds that have their dwelling in the snow. Those monuments of primitive creation, though of iron texture, yield to the slow influence of destructive time, so that the most durable of the productions of na ture are seen hurrying into decay ; yet so gigantic, so solid, and so imposing, is the aspect of the mountains, that it is difficult to reconcile the mind to any idea of a period for their entire destruction. The first object of attraction to the spectator, is the singular and extraordinary appearance of the peaks. Him magnitude, height, and multiplied figures and foams. sowing easterly, nearly parallel with the great chain, receiving many supplies, it finally joins the Jens. The descent upon the Pubbur side is very abrupt, mms'i exceeding in extent that on the north side, ant/ NOM • to owe it to a southern aspect, ploughed and torn by t loosened fragments, and its surface swept by rushing streams, which, descending abruptly from the snow 4, roll away the soil that can hardly be renewed. A bright ind even powerful sun in the day, thaws the snow that soaks into the crevices, and this fretting with the approach of night, bursts the rocks asunder with a tremendous noise. This is the season when the vast crashes happen, yet they are equally liable to occur in the spring, when the supporting ledge, already shat tered, is borne down by the load of snow. From they hnlk of some of the pieces now at the foot of the moun tains, an idea may be formed of their destructive coo lie• when in full /notion; carrying befogs them all that the; meet in their way. bring down even whole fields, wh'ch settle in the soil of the first level in their way ; oth rs, more remotely displaced, and perhaps of greater magnitude, set off with a bound, and their superior ve locity and impelling massiveness, as they strike against other rocks in their passage, instead of loosening them, only wedge them into greater firmness; so tint, unin cumbered, they keep on, till opposed by masses which are fixed in immoveable security. when they are shivered into thousands of fragments; others, again, meeting in their route with no obstacles, acquire an overwhehuing impulse, which their length of passage increases, an I these tear ,ny the grassy slope and sweep before them every thing in their way.

The soil near the summit of the pan certainly cannot he generated ; the scanty growth of inorganic life Is insufficient to maintain a reproduction, as is the case along the slope near the base, where the exuberance of vegetation replenishes the waste, and produces node trees of 30 and 36 feet circumference ; and the rock of the Himalaya, even if decomposed, is quite unfavourable to vegetation.

For half n mile, the declivity upon the Pnbbor side is amazingly steep, sad then it softens into a plain, thickly studded with the hardiest productions of the earth, vet it is not of a less elevation than 13 or 14,000 feet, which in latitude 31. 23. is much above the line of perpetual frost, as laid down thereotie.ally. I'l is, and other obser vations more prominent, must considerably affect the foundation of the general principles of cong e lation. There are some with spiry summits; these shew their naked granite sides, shattered and warped by the action of interminable frost ; a 'roll a of these rises front the heel of the Sutlnj, and attain an elevat of about 40,000 feet, they rise pyramidically, and shout into spires, I while thonaands of feet are occupied in such deep slopes as to be unable to sustain the snow but in the hollows that have been formed in them. The portions of the bare surface consequently suffer most from the efforts of noceasina frost, which acts upon them in such a way, as that, when viewed with a glass, they have the singular appearance ther anceofshelves, or layers of banks, heaped one upon ce Others form perfect cones : one of vast magnitude is seen north of the pass. The surfaces of these are so en tirely incased, that they appear, not snowy mountaies, but mountains of ure snow. Then come the inclines' of grarillwar, deeeesaling frown tile peaks, breaking off with a precipitous fall of many hundred feet, and backed upon their northern side by a mural face of great depth. Two of these re markable appearances are seen amongst the declining slops of the eastern range of the hills and even from the plains. The obliquity of their position, while it exposes them to a heavy coat of snow, prevents their being divested of it by an avalanche, and at all seesaw they exhibit the same appearance; but in May and June, till the com mencement of the rains, they an open to the in/grace of a cloudless sky, with a thawing and freezing alter nately, which enceinte their surface and produces the sparkling beauty of a glacier, forming certainly the grandest scenery of the Himalaya.

Ilion the northern declivity of the pass lies a vast un broken sheet of snow, which never melts; it descends from the crest in a wall form, and is thence expanded over the whole of the valley for abort a mile, where this astonishing mass reclines against the brow of the pas.. The depth of snow must be great ; the general quality of the rock of the pass and its surrounding peaks is gneika and quartz, hut it is difficult to ascertain the true sub stance, as all the pieces within rearh are detached from shove ; no real granite was observed, so that we msv conclude none exists upon the more lofty eminences that rise on each side. The fittest of the pass according to tM formula of con gelation is 4,101 feet within that limit, yet tisk pro.li:ri oils altitude is not abandoned by nature; tufts of moss and grass, with a light soil, are Peen all the way to the top, and even rise on each side to two and three hundred feet, while higher up on the rugged cliffs that are 'loom ed to 'twain perpetual snow, animated na.nre finds a habitation, and ravens and s null birds have their nests there.

It would have been a fine task for a painter, to have sketched the physiogno my of our servants.

Of all this singular and imposing forms, the most mag wificeat are the table summits. One of these enormous masses rises sear Wangtoo ; its su 11111 l it is perfectly level, and throws down a precipitous rugged frost, ' which stretches out into a slope or bosons covered with wow. Upon its table surface is a vertical layer of great depth, and the line of union of this wall of snow with its traggy face is well defined, and has a very strange ef fect. 'f he base of this mountain sends forth a river. whose channel of solid *Tooke is scooped and worn into cavities, recording the violence and turbulence of its stream. -- Sntlla; a few of those remarkable listnral appear ances, which baffle all attempts at faithful description; and if witlaio the range of vision, which is nut extensive, such singularly striking objects arrest the eve, what may rot be anticipated throughout a chain of . snch ex tent? A vertical wall of 30011 feet has in vain been searched for amongst the European Alps, yet here, where mature astonishes by her unparalleled magnitude, she may present even something snore wonderful, is the deep wallies which every where intersects gig (test ridges of this stupendous range. lly a series of barometrical observations, the extreme al;ituslo of the peas is sot under 15,100 fent,..ei height, abrordiog to theory, abandoned by animal and vegetable NO. The peaks or walls on each side sbew the ravages of time and weather. The eastern wall rises with a considerable inrlination for five or six hundred feet I thence starting backwards, it terminates in a crown of snow perhaps one thousand five hundred or two thousand feet higher. The western peak, or rather wall, is literally a pile of mouldering fragments, and rises to about five or six hun dred feet; the ascent is impracticable, higher than thiry og t.ty feet. where are the usual emblems of adoration, so Illst a specta tor, standing on the crest, is not forcibly attracted the imposing figure or magnitude of the bending chars. Beystod the west wall is another break or pass, which the work of ruin has not yet mole traversable; but so rapid is the decay, that a few years must level the di vithog ridge, and knee a grand breach. Its wevern side rises to a towering summit deeply clad in snow, and werreepoods with the opposite or eastern one, I' Ing sheet two thousand feet in height. The space within these slay tamed a mile. In the dewed% on either side the chars recede, forming a dell ; upon the north carry ing( tits stream from the thawing snow to the Suiluj, and on the south seeding a branch to the Peldmr. The prospect towards that stream is banked up by an arum a the grand range, which is crossed by the pass. The IPubbur has its source at the junction, and washes its bone in its primitive form, for tea or twelve miles to Juaglegh, where it loses its peaked and disordered , figure, exchanging its cap of snow for a coat of grass, and continuing a few miles at a height of twelve thou sand feet, with a =risco of partial vegetation and patches of snow. The Pubber, sow stranithesed by the numerous strums that roll down kern the whole extent of the last ansentaiits N Hiuselaya, runs south-west, to about thirty 44,4406,111.gailasapent em c allssi assasre hose, The bre.tras a source of comfort to hook at. for warmth was generated only by the exertiuti naceesary to hens' it alive. Spirits seemed really to have lost their Weiler:it and had scarcely any effect in keeping ns warm. Having to inhale the inioliry atmosphere, we formed a circle around the fire, which only appeared at ti►nea, and the., by the application of the blowpipe. The snow within the tent was very convenient for a supply of wale which we ascertained the excellent qualities in To avert in some degree the annoyance of t)►e Ins .kr, we used tobac►o; but this too, like the spirits, fell stmr , of its nsoal stimulating posers, and was only of some hetiefit when horning as fuel. The wind blew in puff., awl shook of the snow fe ►•o mar tent, so as to render it le►s stable. The only ch ► • ire hail, served to sutioort the har, 1111 l eter, and we sat opus the ground. We t..rate►l altoigtobee a motl e y troupe. but such a seen,' was neither foreign to nor ex perimice or feelings, and was nut without its intere•t. For a while, indeed, we might have forgotten oar loft . situation, guarded by fruwniug, peaks with their eternal ►►inter, till the faint snnn•i of a distant crash broke th • silence, and the noise of nearer destruction pressed closely upon our thoughts, while the hard texture of our beds often acutely reminded us of our position, and obliged as to shift about for more accommodating rest so that there was a perpetual stirring and agitation in sole as well as out. A blink of the bre orcasiotiall: spewed as the self-arrange►) fragoi••nts that had, p.•r haps, once crowned the w.,111 of the pass. The grows I upon which we sat was reit rusted with the ice, and thawing by the fire, gave to souse uneasiness, and h► others amusement. _ . _ Every thing had its time, and at length the scene changed into one more dostres.ing th:in I can describe.
