The account of the domestic life of the Persians is not the !raid Interesting portion of this entertain ing work. The following extract contains some curious particulars " The houses of lopahan are one story in height, but composed of so ninny apartments, that even the meatiest of them cover a considerable area : for the extent that we occupy ill our high houses is in Penis laid out horizontally. They are built either of earth or brick, and their uniformity ut height and colour produces a very dull appearance when seen collectively. " M. Milner gives an humorous enumeration of the noises characteristic of a Persian city. First, at the dawn of day, the muezzins are heard in a great variety of tones, calling the people to prayers from the tops of the mosques. These are mixed with the sounds of cow-horns, blown by the keepers of the Anoint/rots, to inform the women, who bathe before the men, that the bathe are heated, and ready fur their reception. The cow-horns vet all the dogs of the city howling in a frightful manner. The aura of the town generally beginning to bray about the same time, are answered by all the asses of the neigh bourhood ; a thousand cocks then intrude their shrill voices, which, with the other subsidiary notes of per sons calling to each other, knocking at doors,and cries of children, complete a din very unusual to the ears of apt European. In she summer *eosin,. as the operations of domestic life are noisily performed in the open sir, ern,' kind of noise is heard. At night all sleep on the tops of astir houteii, their beds being spread upon their terraers, without soy other covering over heed than the vault of beeves); The poor seldom have u screen to keel , them frtml the gaze of p•ssengeri, end as we generally rode out on horseback. sore the traveller, a t an early hour, We perceived on she tops of the booms people : either still is bed or just getting up, and 41 s. :Va no _tight trite arae.atamager4 7110 arelMatt to be always up the first, while the men were fre qeently sees lounging in bed long after the sun had risen. This universal custom of sleeping on the house top speaks mach in favour of the efitsate . hi Persia; audt indeed; we found that our repose in the open sir sof much more refreshing than its the confinement of a room. " On entering the door of a house of any con sequence, a long passage generally leads to a spa cious court, which has a fountain at the farthest extremity, while the sides are bordered by CUMIN and alleys of tree•. Each house has ■ divan. kumeh, or an apartment for the reception of visitors. When it is of large dimensions there are two fire. places adorned with paintings and • indow glAss ; and on each tide there is a close., of which no use seems to be made. " It is difficult to form a correct ides of the extent of buildings in Persia. The women hare their particular apartments, called harem-kande, or :enema, and the servants, who are frequently very numerous, also have rooms for their exclu►ive a:motivation. •• The furniture of s Persian house is extremely simple when compered with ours. We find in them neither beds sumptuously decorated, nor tables and chains:amity wood, nor chandeliers and lustres, nor those numberless articles of various forms and materials, with which European lottery decorates our apartment.. In Persia the furniture consists of • thick coarse felt, which covers the Boor, and over which is spread a rich Persian carpet. People in middling circumstances content themselves with the felt alone. Instead of chairs, small mattresses about • yard wide are placed no the door round the room, sad covered with chintz, silk, or cloth of gold. Cushions set ea and close to the wall serve to lean against. •• Whoa it is time to retire to rest, a mattress is spread upon the carpet with • blanket or counter pane, and two pillows of down. This is all the bed used by the Persians, and they lie in it without un dressing. The mattress is of velvet, and the coon teepees of silk brocade, os cloth of gold sod silage. Articles of this kind are not changed perhaps for a century; for these velvets and brocades never wear out, owing in part to the extreme dryness of ►he atmosphere. lu Persia a native never enters the room in boots or slippers ; and when a foreigner attempts any transgression of this usage. it is looked upon as the height of ill-breeding, if not quite • preme ditated insult. As these people use the carpet not merely fur domestic purposes, but to kneel down on when they say their prayers, it is considered in some wasters sacred, and hence arises the custom of a visitor always leaving his slippers •t the room door. The term door here means whatever denotes the way of ingress to the apartment ; for though, in general there is a double door of carved or paint. ed wood, which may be dosed at pleasure. yet it is so seldom closed in the day, that we usually find • silk curtain filling the vacant space of the en. trance; its light drapery being not only • cooler bat a more elegant appendage than • thick heavy door. An encoding servant raises the curtain st the spproach of a visitor, and drops it on Isis hav ing entered. That the custom of such draperies is of great antiquity we find in various authors. Plu. Larch, for instance, informs us that • Alexander, snatching a spear from one of his guards, and meeting Clytus as he was drawing back the door eau-tails, ran him through the body.' •' At on interview which took place between the Prince Royal of Persia and the Russian Governor-General of Georgie, the latter, un accustomed to the manners of the Persians, dressed himself in full uniform. which comprises ▪ pair of tight pantaloons and military boots. The English Ambassador hid previously inri mated to him in a friendly manner, that it would be but a common mark of respect to the Persians, whose carpet was not only their seat but their table, to substitute for his boots the chackehour, or red cloth stockings usually worn on such occasions. The General, alleging that the ouly costume in which he can appear was that which he wore in the presence of his own Sovereign, persevered in his full dress, and was seated, boots and all, on the Prince's carpet. The Prince was so incensed, that soon as the General was gone. he ordered his hiss ter of the Ceremonies to be bastivadoed almost to death. " The Persians hare no candles for lighting their houses. For this purpose they use brass cups, fixed upon rodent the same metal, which they fill with pure white tallow, having a cotton wick in the middle. Sometimes they burn scented tapers, the wax of which has been mixed up with oil of clans. mou or cloves, or some other ;monistic. " The mode of warming houses is economical, but unwholesome. As wo.rl is scarce, the Persians are strangers to the use of fire-places and chimneys. lu their stead a sorry expedient presents itself the shape of a large jar, called a kourcy, which is sunk in the earth, generally in the middle of the room, with its mouth on a level with the floor. This the people fill with wood, dung, or any other combustible; and when it it sufficiently charred, the south of the vessel is shut in within a square wooden Gorge, shaped like a low table: the whole is then covered with a thick wadded quilt, ruder which the family, ranged round, place their knees, to allow the hot vapour to insinuate itself into every fold of their clothing. When very cold, they d►aw the borders of the quilt up as high as their chino, and forms group somewhat resembling our MRS.

Mesa peofowly various have bees the different rites, cere monies, sad customs adopted by the amoral nations of the Cheistise world, on the performance of that most sacred of L iaalitarlisas , marriage, the nearest and most endearing tie, and the fusiodstion of all other relations. The inhabitants of this island do not appear to have been outdone by any other people on this occasion. Before we enter upon the discus sion of thew, it will be secretary to consider distinctly the several ceremonies peculiar to betrothing by a verbal con tract of marriage, and promises of love previously to the marriage union. BETROTHING CUSTOMS. There was • remarkable hied of marriage contract among the ancient Dames, called hiteifferting. It la mentioned in Ray's Glossaries' Nerthienhysierieuss, in his collection of local words. Strong traces of this mama are said to remain me Portland island, where the inhabitants seldom or sever intermarry with soy as the main land. It was anciently very customary moos( the commie sort a people to break a piece of gold or sliver io token of a verbal contract of mar. riage and promises of love; one.balf whereof was kept by the woman, while the other part mistimed with the man. Mr.Strott, is his Hamer. Ward CUStelfit, bas illustrated this by an extract from the old play of The Widow. From this it also appears that no dry burrs& would bold on such occa. shies; fur on the Widow's complaining that Mem& had artfully drawn her into &verbal contract, sloe is asked by one of her suitors, "Stay, stay—you broke no gold between you ?" To which she answers, "We broke nothing, Sir." And on his adding, " Nor drank to each other ?" she replw., " Nut • drop, Sir." Whence he d,aws this conclusion, " that the contract comsat stated good in law." The latter past of the ceremony seems alluded to i• the follow. jog pas - age in Middletoo's play of " No Wit like • Wootan's :" " E. when toy lip torch'd the contractile' cup." We and. in Hie Meat, that the piece broken between the contracted Wren MUM have been a crooked one : " Like commendalion nine-pence crook'', With to and from my love it look's," This cirenntstance is also coolimsed in The Connoisseur. No. 56, with an additional elision, of giving locks of hair woven in a true lover's knot:—" It', in the course of astir amour, the misireos gives the dear man her hair wove is, a true luver's hoot, or breaks a crooked nimpeoce with him, she 'hulks herself assured of his inviolate fidelity." This " bent token" has out been overlooked by Gay " A nioepeoce bent A token kind to Busakinet is sent." It appears to ►are been formerly a custom also for those who were betrothed to wear some Bawer as so thteinal sod conspicuous mark of t►eir mutual comment ; the corwrit of choosing suc► sbort•lived emblems of their plighted loves casnot be thought a very happy one. That such a custom, however, did certainly prevail, we have the testimony of Spencer its his Shepherd's Calendar Car April, as follows: " Bring coronations and sops in wine, Wore of Paramour►." Sops in wins were a species of flowers among the smaller kind of single gilli.flowers or pinks. A joint riug appears to hove been anciently a common token among betrothed loves.. These, as we gather from the following beautiful pass►'.e is Drydeu's play of Don Sebastian, were by no means counikal to the lower order of society:— " A curious artier wrought 'em, With joynts so close as not to be perceived; Yet are they both each other's couriter.pari. (Her part bad Jams inscribed, and his bad Zayds. Yuu know those names were theirs;) and, in the "unlit, A heart divided sa two halves was Wired. Now if the rivets of those rings, iuclui d, Fit not each other, I have foied this lye: But if they join, you must for ever part." To the Isetroilsiag contract uuder consideration mist be re. tarred, if we mistake not, and nut to the marriage cerelliftly itself (Is which latter, we own, however, the person oho dos a not nicety discriminate betwixt them sill be strongly icoapte4 to iodise), the well.known passage on this subj.et in the lAA scene of Shakespeare's play of lsciffili.Xight. Toe p ro s , , who bad been privy to all that had passed, is charged Ly Olivia to reveal the circumstances, which be dots so the fol lowing hoes : " A contract of eternal bond of tore, Confirmed by mutual joinder of your baud., Attested by the holy close of lips, Sirenathee'd by isterehamprasest of your rings; And all the ceremony of this compact Sealed is ally facettuo, by illy tessisnooy.',
