The following is ea account of some of the religious frailest* of the Nissen, of •which thee have a great number, in celebration of she birth med - death artier, Prophets and Saints, the principal mysteries of their faith, and the meet memorable events of their religion : " The Aid-et-tor bon. or festival of the sscriAte, is arleitile'd with great rejoiciogs. It has.been initi toted in matinees's:wee of Abraham, who, out of °berth nee to the'Alinighty, would hove sacrificed his son 14'1..0, alums the Arabs regard as their pro. ;4eriitor. and whom they substitute in this instance fur Isaac. Some days before the maw every fa mily boys • sheep, without spot or defect, au em blem of the corporeal and spiiitual • purity of Ishmael. Oil the day of the festival, this victim is dee - mated with ribbons, pearls, and ornaments of evetv kind ; its forehead, feet, end other parts of the body are stained with hew, • powder made of the leaves of the went*. After being thus adorned and paraded about, it is slaughtered, and pieces of the flesh are sent by the Nosily to its friends and the poor. 4 ' lii large cities, instead of a sheep, the governor slaughters • camel ; end the ceremony is performed out of the town, on a spot appropriated to the pur pose. The governor inflicts the first blow; on which the by-smolders isistently fall upon the vie 'ties. and cut it in pieces; sod happy are they who dill secure one of them for their share, because it is • pledge of good luck. • " On the return of the people from the sscr fire, ecaffolds are erected before the governor's palace, in the public places, and in the streets, and rope duncers, wrestlers, musician., singers. and dancers, amuse the multitude there during the rest of the day. "On the 41st of %mason • solemn 'festival is held in honour of Alt. far this purpose a covered gallery is constructed somewhere out of the tows., where the chief MVO of the plate take their station. In front of this gallery is • kind of pulpit.. eight •feet high, covered with cloth. Here the preacher appointed to pronounce the panegyric of the sacred personage, reads for au hour or two in a book entitled Moceehwieh (Book of the Murder), containing • history of the death of Ali, chanting without intermission in u loud. clear, and doleful voice. There are certain passages of ehich be pm. nounces only the first word, leaving some of the congregation to fluish. At the end of each passage they repeat this imprecation—' May the curse of God be upon the murderer of Ali !' and all the people respond, ' Rather more than less.' It is rarely that the assembly is not melted ioto teats, when the preacher draws the effecting piastre of Ali, apprising his children that he shall soon fall i l y the hand of one of his servants, and receiving Ge fatal blow in the mosque while engaged in prayer. After the sermon, the people retort' is procession to the town : three camels bear representations of the tomb of Ali, and his two sons, Nassau and Hossein. These ere followed by three chests, covered with blue cloth, coots' they wrote ; horses carrying bows, turbans, aud flags, and men beanng on their heeds little boxes, covered with feathers and flewertood containing the Koran. The procession is closed by musicians, and young men performing • variety of dances. " The first ten do)e of the month of Mohaerem ere devoted to • solemn mourning in memory of the death of Ali. During this period the Persians dress themselves in mourning, affect all the external appearances of sorrow, übstitin from shaving their heads, from bathing, anal even from changing their clothes. On the eve of the first of Moherrem, the mosques are hung sith black. The next day the pulpits are dressed in the same manlier; the alehond and pith-mamas, inferior !Moister, of religion, as cend them, and narrate the particulars of the mur der of Hossein, with all the inflexions of voice that are calculated to resider them more pathetic. The congregation from time to time beat their breasts, ejaculating, 'Ya Horsens ! Es Hossein, /NV." (0, Hoasem ! Alas, Hoarsens !) Parts of the his tory of this Imam are in verse, and are chanted to a doleful tune. Various episodes of this history are daily represented by itinerant minstrels, as the cir cumstances of the passion of Christ are exhibited in the Catholic countries of Europe. Banners, to which are fastened pictures, relating to this history, are carried about the streets, followed by a concourse of men and boys, some pommeling Hossein's sol diers, and others his enemies. The two parties sometimes come to blows, nod these sham fights terminate in the death of one or two or the combo tarts. "The representation of the martial,. of young Casson, Harsates sun, with the daughter of his uncle. Hossein, forms ooe of the amusing incidents of this funeral festival. A young man acts the part of the bride, who is attired in a rich wed ding dress, and accompanied by her relative., who sing a mournful elegy on the dead!' of the bridegroom ; for it should he observed that the Loam Cassell was slain before the consum mation of the marriage. At pitting with his bride to go to the fight Caseem, takes • most of farewell of her ; and with ■ pecientiment of his fate he gives her in token of his love a mourning robe, which she puts ou. At this moment the people, transported with rage, rush upon the effigy of the Calif Yezid, the murderer of the Ali family, and tear it in pieces. 1, It is impossible to give an adequate description of the fanatic frenzy of the Persians during the days of mourning ; nay, it could scarcely be cre dited, did not history teach us that the thimmi mind knows no booods to its aberration► Death then @pirates • blessing of Heaven, and those•who perish in the combats which take place are accounted martyrs. On the last day of the festival their bodies are deposited in sepulchres. which are !motherly decorated, and carried with great pomp to the cemetery. Many Prestons even inflict voluntary wounds on themselves, in commemoration of t h e sufferings of the It anse,ond in expiation of their own sins. • " On the 48th of Jefer the death of Imam Hawes. brother of Hossein. is celebrated. bat with leas pomp. thoogh with the some erremouiev. •t.

INTERESTING STOT Y. [Fromm • New York Paper.] ...—... In the year 1814, a trader married a heantirul squaw of one of the mind distinguished families in the °merit:ow nation. Thie match, on the part of the Innitisnd, was induced by the fillowing eircum stances.:—lleing• an active, intelligent, and enter. prising man, he had introduced the American trade to the Mimmuit Indians. anti had gained great i..flaence tuntingst them by his bravely and ingenu ous deportment. lint be at length perceived that his influence was gradually declining, in come glience of the preeence and wives of many rival traders, to whom ht» enterprise had opened the way, and that his customers were gradually forsaking him. Thal circumstanced, in order to regain the ground he had lott, lie determined to seek a matri monial alliance with one of the most powerful fstni• lies of the °snowball's. In pursuance of this reso. lotion he selected a squaw, whose family and friends were such as he desired. Fie addressed himself to he► parents, agreeably to the Indian custom, and isiforintil them that he loved their daughter; that he was very sorry to see her in the state of poverty common to her nation. and although be possessed a wife among the white people, yet he wished to have one also of the Omawhaw nation. If they would transfer their daughter to him in marriage, he would obligate himself to t her kindly ; and as he had commenced a permanent trailing esta blishment in their country. he would dwell during a portion of the year with her, mad the remainder with the white people, as the nature of his toecaps- Con required. Ills establishment should be her home stud that of her people during her life, us be never intended to mbaudon the trade. In return he expressed his expectation, that for this act ►he nation would give him the refusal of their peltrier, in order that he might be cobbled to comply with his engagement to them. Ile Nailer promised that if the match proved fruitful, the children should be made known to the white people, and would probably be qualified to continue the trade after his death. 'rhe parent► replied with thinks for his liberal otters, and for his dniposition to have pity on them, they souk! n.t object to the connexion, and hoped that their dsughter would accept of hits as a bus. ban I. The parents then reti , A, and opened the subject to the itiogliter ; they awned her that her proposed husband was a great man, greater thaii any of the Oniaishaws : that be would do much tUr her and for them, and concluded by requesting her to ac quiesce in the a i+lies of the white tu.w. She replied that all they said was, without doubt true, mid shut agreeable to his request, she aliewilliug to become his wife. The agreement bring thus concluded, the trader mode present., agreeably to the custom of the mown, and conducted his laden-slit% prize to his house. The ensuing autumn she had the pleasure to see him return, having now conceited fur him the most tender attachment. Upon his visit the following season, she presented him with • 6ne daughter, bout in his absence, and whom she had nursed with the fondest attention. With the infant in her arms, she had daily seated her.elf on the bank of a river, and followed the downward course of • stream with her eye, to gain the earliest notice of his approach. Thus time pas►ed on. The second year a father greeted a son, and obtained his squaw% reluctant consent to take their daughter with tim.oti his return voyage to the country of the white people. lint no sooner had lie commenced his voyage, although the had another charge upon which to lavish her caresses, than her maternal fondness overpowered her, and she ran crying ■nd screaming along the river-side in pursuit of the boat, tearing out her long flowing hair, and appearing to be almost bereft of reason. On her return home, she gave away every thing she possessed, cut off he hair, went in deep mourn ing, and remained inconsolable. She would often say that she well knew that her daughter would be better treated than she could be at home, but she could not avoid regateling her own situation to be the same as if the Wsliconda had taken away her oil'apring for ever. One day, ite company with six other maims, she was engaged in her agncultand labours, her infant boy hems secured to his cradle-like board, which she had carefully reclined against • tree at a short distance. l'hey were discovered by a war party of Sioux. who rushed towards them with the expecta tion of gratifying their veogemice by securing their sculps. An exclamation from her companions di rected her ettentiou to the common enemy, and in hier fright she did precipitately; but suddenly rc- .~.__ _ 'collected her child, she 'swiftly returned Tell in the face of ifte Soul, 'snitched ber'cltild frets fin tree, and turned to save its life, more precious than her own. She wee closely pursued by one of the enemy, when she arrived ate fence which separated her from the tending-house. A moment's hesitation here would have been fatal, and exerting all her strength, she threw the child, with its board, as far el rhe could on the opposite ►ide. Four of the squaws were tomelsawired, and the ethers escaped, of which number the mother wani one, having succeeded in bearing off her child un ittjored. - The trader, on his arrival et the settlements, learned that hie white, or civilised, wife had died daring his absence, nil ober a short interval de voted to the . formalities of mourning, lie united his destinies with another and highly amia ble ',icily. The second season his wife accompa nied him on his annual voyage up the Missouri, to his trading-holm, the abode of his squaw. Previously to his arrival, however, he dispatched ■ messenger to his dependants at the trading house, directing then to prevent his squaw from appearing in the presence of his wife. She was accordingly sent off to the village of_ her nation, a distance of sixty or seventy miler. But she could not long re main there, and soon returned with her little boy on her back, and accompanied by rnme of her friend., she encamped near her husband's residence. She sent her son to the trader, who treated him affec- Aonately. On the succeeding day the trader sent for his squaw, and utter making her some firearms he directed her to accompany her friends who were then on 61;4 rimy to their hunting grounds. She departed without a murmur, as it is not un usual nit!) the 0111HWillW11 to send off one of their wives, on some occasions, while they remain with the favourite one. About two months afterwards the trader recalled her. Overjoyed with what she supposed to be her good fortune, she lost no time in presenting herself before the husband whom she tenderly loved; but g►eat was her disappointment when her husband demanded the surrender of the child, and re nounced fur the future any association with herself, directing her return to her people, and to provide for her futute well-being to any way she might choose. Ova rpowered by her feelings on this demand and repudiation, she ran from the house, and finding a peringue on the river, she paddled over to the op• posite side, and instle her escape ante the forest with her child. The uight was cold, and attended with a Fell of snow and hail. Reflecting upon he► disconsolate condition, she resolved to return again in the morning, and with the feelings of a wife and mother, to plead her cause before the arbiter of her fate, and endeavour to mitigate the cruel sen tence. Agreeably to this determination, she once more approached him, upon whom she bad claims para mount to those of any other individual. " Here is our child," s■id she. " I do not question your fondness for him, but he it still more dear to me. You Pay you will keep him for yourself, •nd drive me fir from you. But no, I will remain with him; I can And some bole or owner into which I may creep, in order t• be year him, and sometimes to see him. II you will not give me food I will never theless remain until I starve before your eyes." The trader then offered her • considerable present, desiring her at the same time to go sod leave the child. But she said, 44 Is my child • dog that I should sell him for merchandise ? You can not drive me away; you rimy bent me, it is true, and otherwise abuse me, but I will still remain. When you married me you promised to use me kindly as long as I should be faithful to you ; that I have been so no one can deny. Ours was nut s marriage contracted fur a season. it was to terminate only with our lives. I was then a yo•ug girl, and might have been united loan Omawhaw chief, but I am an old woolen, having had two chil &en, and what Oinawhaw will regard me ? Is hot my tight paramount to that of your other wife ; she had heard of me before you possessed her. It is true her akin is whiter than mine, but her heart cannot be more pure towards you, nor her fidelity more rigid. Da not take the child from my breast, I camiut bear to hear it cry, and not be present to relieve it ; permit me to retain it until the spring, when it will be stile to eat, and then, if it mist be so, take it from my sight, that I may part with it but once." _ Seeing her thus inflexible the trader informed her that she might remain there if she pleased, but that the child should be immediately seut down to the settlement.. The affectionate mother had thus far sustained herself during the interview with the firmness of conscious virtue, and successfully resisted the im pulse of her feelings. but nature now ridded, the tears coursed rapidly over her cheeks, and, clasping her ham's, and bowing her head, she burst Turn an agony of grief exclaiming, It Why did the Wah condo hale me so much as to induce me to put my child again into your power." The feelings of the unhappy mother were, how ever, soon relieved. Mr. Dougherty communicated the circumstances of the case to Major O'Fallon, who immediately and peremptorily ordered the re storation of the child to its mother, and infdrmed the trader that any further attempt to wrest it from her bliould be at his NAVAL IN'PALLIGENCE.

II is also et mach importance, that orb suns should be so managed, that coofieemest within t►em may be an object of terror, and may operate as teal palish. meat upon those for whom t 1 is so intended; at the NW tine that the sericite of all unnecessary severity is restrained by wholesome regulatiows. With • view to these objects, the means of a judicious classification of prisoners, and of cos stoat employment ■ad labour, are esseatially necessary; and your Committee ■re decidedly of opieioa, that it wilt be proper to secure, by law, the providseg of sac► meas., is every county prison, and in (very other prison in which by charter or otherwise, primers of various damn are al hewed to be confined. The greatest dificolly visit* your Committee Lod to stand in the way of the establishment, generally, of a proper sys tem of prison discipline, ernes from the exisleoce, is al most all parts of the country, of many very small prison., belooglngt to places in wheels there is a lotalleirlodietion.— The Returns printed by order of the Howse, lo 1819 sad 1811, prevail Essay paeticolars relative to sue► prisons; and your Committee have also obtained some further infor mality., by means of some queries, addressed by them to different magistrates; the result of which they have given is the Appendix to this Report. 11 appears, that on many eases the feeds applicable to the maintenance of these local prisons, are of a eaters which preclaars the possibility 'denting a proper prison, or pro. Tiding the means Necessary to a good system of discipline; and the number of primes committed in soy nee year, to some of these prisons, is so small, as to make it very double feel whether it wuold be proper to impend the sum necessary fur these pnrposes, sod whether the exi■tiug evil may not be remedied by some legislative proceeding of a different nature. At any rate, it is evideot, that any geueral measure adapted to the regulation of large pritmos, must be inapplicable to meth small places of cosiotentent as are here referred to; and before any specific measure wi:11 respect to these cam be safely adopted, further information appears to be necessary. Your Committee therefore recommend, at pretest, the passing of an Art for the purpose of enforcing a good sys tem of prison discipline in ell large prisons : they have bees engaged in the coasiderstion of a Bill, which they euesider calculated to effect ibis ulject, which they have instructed their Chairman to bring in, without delay.
