Clearwell—Lord Exeter's filly made play for the first quarter of a mile, and was then passed by Napier and Testy, the former ha v i ng a s li g h t l ea d , and Murat fol lowing at Testy's quarters ; the latter maintained her position to the ropes, where she was headed by Murat, and the latter challenging Napier a few strides up the cords, made a race that, in length and severity, was little inferior to that between British Yeoman and Maria Day . at Doncaster ; they were fairly locked to gether to . the end, and it was not until the Judge. awarded the race to Napier by a head that the spectators were convinced it was. not. a dead heat. The Yitsley colt was a respectable third. Cesarewitch.• , --After four false starts, the' whole team quitted the post tolerably compact, Thistle Whipper taking the lead at a strong pace, followed by Anspach, behind whom was Bellissima, Ralph, Florence, the Bi zarre filly, Arcanus, Blue Bonnet, and Portrait, pretty nearly in the order we have given their names. The race proceeded in this marmot. for nearly half a mile be yond the gap, where Thistle Whipper broke down, and the lead was taken by Ampach ; on his resignation at the new ground, Florence took up the running, followed by Belissima, Ralph, and th-.% Bizarre filly, Arcanus ly ing three lengths behind them. In this order they reached the Bushes-hill, 1% here Arcanus moved towards the front ; his position at the. bottom being at Bellissi ma's quarters, on the outside. Florence, Belissima, and Ralph continued the race, apparently unconscious that Arcanus was so near, to the last stride, Florence beating Belissima by.a neck, and Belissima beating Ralph by a head ; Arcanus, however, it ent up at the last mo ment and defeated them all by a neck. Tho Bizarre filly ran forward to the end, and was a good fifth ; the ruck tollowed, headed, we believe, by Blue Bonnet and the Shadow. Value of the stakes 860/.

The settling for Tuesday's races took place this morn ing, and proved rather heavy ; Mr. F. Clarke, the owner of Arcanus, and his friends, are very large winners, re port says to the amount of sii or seven thoz.:sand pounds. On the other hand, the Bellissima and Portrait parties are "bit," but not so severely as would have been the case had Florence won, several of them having backed Arcanus enough to cover a considerable portion of their losses. To give time for the Jockey Club meeting, the races commenced early; they were decided as follows : Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each, tor two yrs old, 7st 31b, and three yr s , 9 st ; filli es a ll owe d 31b.

We are glad to observe that the Committee of the Shipmasters' Association have been taking means for disseminating much valuable information to the young shipmasters of the port, by snaking arrangements for the delivery of lectures every alternate Monday even ing, on subjects interesting to navigators. An intro ductory lecture on practical navigation was delivered on Monday, 26th September, by Lieut. Tracey, R.N., as stated in our paper of the 28th. Mr. Livingston, on Monday evening last, commenceda series oflectures on that most intricate and mysterious subject—Ocean Currents. We regret that our space will not admit of our giving even an outline of Mr. Livingston's obser vations, which were ranged under several important heads, as Channel Tides, Currents in the Bay ofßiscay, on the coast of Portugal, and in the Straits of Gib raltar; Tropical Currents ; the Gulf Stream ; North east winds on the coast of Portugal ; trade winds, &c. Mr. Livingston concluded by earnestly advising masters desirous of acquiring as thorough a know ledge of currents as can as yet be attained by study, to consult the interesting work of the late estimable and revered Major Rennel. W e were much pleased to see so many shipmasters present, and were parti cularly delighted with the attentive manner in which the lecturer was listened to throughout his discourse, which was delivered in a pleasing, familiar, and per spicuous manner. We are induced to hope that the good example thus set by Lieutenant Trace y and .111 r. Livingsto n w ill b e f o ll owed b y many others of the in telligent shipmasters who visit this port. It is the bounden duty of every man to make known his expe rience for the benefit of others ; and as it is of the great est consequence that every information should be given respecting the currents, rocks, shoals, and the dangers which beset the mariner's course, a register has been opened by the master of the rooms of the Association, for the purpose of recording such extracts from the log-books as may relate to any new discoveries or the confirmation of previous observations. As these notices will be sent periodically to the Nautical Maaazinc, it is hoped that masters will assist in so desirable an undertaking by forwarding to the Asso ciation all such particulars as they may deem inte resting or useful.—Liverpool Courier. [We will venture to suggest to ship-owners, ship masters, and all concerned with shipping, that the conduct of the Liverpool Shipmasters' Association should be generally imitated. Proceedings like theirs are much readier and snore certain to improve ship masters than Acts of rarliament.—ED. Sun.j • SALES UNDER the NEW TARIFF. Yesterday the first sales of foreign provisions under the new scale of duties toll place in this town. The ' • quantity offered was considerable, and the attendance appears to have been extremely good, many persons having come from distant pa the country. Per haps on this accoun t t h e prie - ' btained offer a less fair, criterion of th e ra t es like :. to be permanently realised for a r ti c l es o f t h e same description. The rtff pork seems to have been the favourite article, but being put up in lots too large for country dealers, many were doubtless prevented purchasing, who would afterwards take small supplies from the re tailers. After all, it appears that the prices did not quite come up to the expectation of the importers, some of whom consequently withdrew their parcels. We have been favoured with )erts of the sales from several of the resp ec t a bl e bro s c o ncerned, but the substance of the wh o l e will ', and embodied in the following, whi c h h as been " irefully prepared by Messrs. Leech, Harrison, tale- Yesterday,.the 10th of Oe ' r, was the day fixed by the new tariff for th e pay tof the reduced du i ties on salted provisions, and, - in consequence, public sales to a considerable extent were arranged to take place this day.. These sales comprised the following articles from the United States-1,522 barrels of beet; 2,190 of pork, 311 of hams ; and from Canada, 691 barrels of pork and 35 of hams and excited consider able interest and curiosity. ' liti - attendance of town and country dealers at the sales was numerous, and there were some gentlemen from Ireland; the latter, no doubt, chiefly to watch the progress of a trade threatening to interfere with that which they have enjoyed exclusively for so long. It must be observed, that the greater portion of the United States' meats vvere'imported some months ago, and, having been cured before it was known that there would he a change in the Vritish duties, were not so well suited to the taste of consumers here, as doubtless they will be rendered hereafter. The pork was generally very well fed, though rather fatter than the usual run of Irish. Of the beef, on the contrary, it was observed, that it was not sufficiently well fed. We question whether, the sales have resulted to the satisfaction of the importers generally ; the buyers evidently acted with more wariness from being new • to the trade. Of the United States' provisions a large portion was withdrawn. The hams sold fetched 30s. 6d. to 31s. per cwt., duty paid. Prime beef 335. to 395. per bar rel, duty paid; a very old parcel went even lower. Pork 41s. to 465. per barrel, duty paid. The Cana dian pork realised 435. to 465. per barrel, duty paid. Of Canadian beef there was little offered, which rea lised for prime 465. to 48s.,and one lot of prime mess 50s. per barrel, duty paid. Several parcels of American cheer were offered, and sold at 365. 6d. to 465. 6d. per cwt., duty paid, for inferior to middling quality, whilst a few lots of " good" brought 50s. to 545. per cwt., duty paid.-- Liverpool Courier of Wednesday. ..---"" _ 7 -- C.- - 7.-- /r------ - 1--- -, --- . -- * C s ,, ----...1 ( j .% /-- -- ------ - --' 7 "r , • , .0... 4 ,, ,, • 4,t f-, A ,„ ~ :41611:3.1.7., , i , - ''...."`\ , f , ...„,,o,• ~. „,...„-,,,,,„...,, i4 .. , 4 ... 3. , ~.. ~.

Effingham Wilson. The great virtue of early arithmetical studies consists in the exercise which they give to the reasoning faculties; and the minute thesis and its accompanying solution, known by the name of " a sum," is the best test of youthful powers. The subtlest, therefbre, but the plainest method, by which an arithmetical question can be worked out, should assuredly be that adopted, according to the greater degree that it tends to improve and sharpen the capacity. This is the object of Mr. Schonberg's Chain Rule. On examination it appears to us to possess much advantage over the ordinary means of calculation. Agreeably with its name, the links of the process, as ad duced by the Chain Rule, are clearly seen, and the fequences of cause, effect, and time involved in tile numeration in hand, are traced by the mind of the student, in a manner which cannot fail of causing a perspicuous understanding of the same. This principle of linking is its great and excellent feature. The original use of the Chain Rule me thud of arithmetic. wasluade, we believe, by one Adam Ries so early as 1570, and subsequently on the Continent has been much used by com mercial men arid conductors of schools. Our English arithmeticians appear only to have con sidered it applicable to exchange, but the exam ples given by Mr. Schonberg in his valuable little manual, amply evince the universality of its use.

A great many causes have been attributed for the present depressed condition of trade and manufac tures throughout the country, but the withering effects produced by the extension of the railway system of travelling, and its sliare in producing the existing distress and want of employment, appears to a great extent to have been altogether lost sight of. A Correspondent, whose professional pursuits re quire him to go over a considerable extent of coun try, and who is well acquainted with the former con dition of the districts and roads now superseded by railways, and also aware of their present state, has furnished us with a few particulars which niay, per haps, not be thought unimportant at the prescct time. It is already well known that the great railways that have been opened have completely destroyed the coaching and - posting business, and have also, to a very great e x t en t, ru i ne d th e i nns upon t h e old lines of road ; and it is not at all an exaggeration to say, that the whole of the country upon the Northern, Western, and, in fact, every other line that is op posed by a railway, is reduced to a most miserable condition. It is not the mere removal of the posting and coaching from the road that is to be considered, but the effects upon every branch of trade and indus try, caused by the destruction of the old accustomed mode oansit. One example from each line of railway will show the dreadful consequences of the change that has taken place. In the town of Hounslow, which was the first stage on the Great Western road, there used to be kept, for the purposes "of coaching and posting, before the railway was introduced, two thousand five hundred horses. Any persons acquainted with the nature of the business is aware that it would not be by any means an exagge ration to say that every one of those horses for keep, duty, shoeing, ostlers, harness, &c., caused an outlay of two pounds per week, so that there was a sum of 5,0001. circulated every week in this one district, besides the money that was spent by travellers in the different inns ; and a very considerable portion of that amount was paid for labour, and distributed among the different tradesmen, every one of whom was bene fited either directly or indirectly. At the present time there are not seventy horsey kept for the same purposes, for which twenty-five hundred were for merly profitably employed, and these seventy, instead of being kept liberally, as formerly, are, owing to the little employment for them, merely, as it were, pav ing their expensts. The consequence of the change necessarEylzLbeen, that every trade in Vile town has suffered, and hundreds of persons, formerly earning a respectable livelihood by their exertions, find their means of existence completely crippled, and the con sequent distress and want of means thus created, may very naturally be conceived. This state of things on the first stage of the western road will serve as an ex ample for the whole of the remaining distance, as, of course, an equal number of horses were required all the way down the road, and the effect, therefore, has been equally destructive upon all the towns which were formerly thriving and prosperous, and the solitude and almost desolation that now pre vail in these formerly flourishing places, can hardly be described. When it is recollected that the same effect has been produced right through the country for nearly two hundred miles, the necessary result has been, that every class has been impoverished, and their means of existence almost annihilated. On the northern road an almost equally disastrous effect has been produced. At Barnet, where, formerly, three or four hundred pairs of post-horses were constantly kept, together with an immense number of coach horses, the loss of the traffic, and the circulation of the money connected with it, has been the means of throwing hundreds of labourers out of employ, and all the trades specially dependent upon it are almost an nihilated, and thus a vast amount of misery has been created. To the town of St. Albans the same obser vations apply with equal, if not greater force ; indeed, this once thriving and prosperous town is literally ruined, and such is its solitude, that it may almost be said that grdss is growing in the principal streets. That these statements are correct every one who has recently travelled to these places can bear witness ; and under such circumstances it is not very difficult to imagine that they must, to a great extent, be the cause of much of the distress and want of trade and employment which at present, unhappily, exists throughout the country. Union. A FORTUNATE DISCOVERY.—A singular discovery of theft was made last week. In the month of July last a butcher, in the Quartier St. Honore, was robbed of a sum of 6,500 f., and suspicion having fallen upon one of his men, who slept in the house, he was arrested, but, as none of the property was found upon him, and his previous character was excellent, he was soon set at liberty. From that time this person has been living in Paris with great regularity until within these few days, when he quitted the capital and went to a place at a distance of about two leagues, between La Folie and Nanterre. There he began a search for something that had been concealed by him, but so large a quan tity of earth had been thrown on the spot from the cuttings of the railroad, that he was compelled to procure the assistance of two men, to whom he pro mised a liberal reward for their labour, but without telling them what object he was seeking. At length a small box, containing the 6,500 f. which he had stolen from his master, was found, and in his joy he gave to each of the men who had assisted him 6f. He passed the evening at a public-house with these men ; and, having drunk rather freely, told them that through their means he had recovered a large sum of money which he had concealed, and mentioned that he was the next day going to Metz. On the following morning, after his departure, the men men tioned the circumstance to a brigadier of Gendarmerie, who made a report of it to the Prefecture of Pollee at Paris. There the description of the mysterious of the money-hider was found to correspond with that taken in July from the butcher's, and information was sent off by telegraph to Metz, which led to the arrest have of the offender just' as he was stepping out diligence at that place. The stolen m oney w as all ave m cie s u. te ie a se d found upon him with the exception of about The leading mercantile firms 'Change 6 at three London,ne I°4)f ' adopted the resolution of going on o'clock, and leaving at four o'clock,fi soecculiorcinkgulgile i p a r e e i s l e ts ut ar c e us m to a m kin o g f te r r en of ee t t h o e f ComMunity, and the different sections of the tradin Arrange it is believed that the new regulation This s tte w rs ill may be acted p u a p r o t i i i es n t e o xt fin w is e h eh t . hei T r more time for after 'Change, so as to communicate the result of th ' day to their country correspondents, eir transactions the same relief in various other pondents, and it w ill be a mooted on former ways.

THE GROWING GLORY OF THE FATHERLAND. (From the Frankfort Journal.) " No Austria ! no Prussia ! but one Germany, strong. as her mountains !"—Speech of the Archduh•e John of Austria. The golden seed scattered over the German soil by Klopstock, the bard; by Herder, the noblest of all philosophers ; by Schiller, the inspired poet ; by Schubert, the ardent patriot ; and by Arndt, the elo quent herald of German national honour—that send of promise, whose first germs were moistened by the hereto blood . of our youth in the holy war, is beruning -fir shoot up, vigorously fostered by the genial spring: which now pours its breath through our Fatherland, and warmed by the radiant sun, which, with the formation of German commercial union, has risen on our horizon. More beautiful than the spring of nature, more beautiful than any picture created by poetic imagina tion, more beautiful 'even than the death of the hero joyfully resigining his life for his country, is this dawning of a new and glorious era for Germany. That which has been gradually vanishing from us since the days of the Hohenstaufen Emperors; that which is indispensable to enable us to fulfil the destination marked out for us in the history of the world ; that which alone is wanting to render us the noblest and mightiest 'ofall nations of the earth—viz., the feeling of national honour—we are now about to recover. Every eflOrt, every . tendency, is recognised by the fruit it bears. For what objecthave our patriots been striving ? To 'imbue the people with the feeling of national honour—with the conviction that Germany, by her position in the Centre of Europe, by her culti vation;hy her extent, and by the solidity of her cha racter„ is entitled to .rank among the highest, if not to take the very highest place among the nations of the earth. Every misfortune that we have suffered for centuries past may be traced to one cause, and that is, that we have ceased to consider ourselves a united nation of brothers, whose first duty it is to exert our common efforts to oppose the common enemy. That most precious sentiment, the feeling of na tional honour, seems once more to be awakening in the hearts of the German people; for with incessant strides we are advancing to the glorious goal along that path of honour which we had long forsaken, and on which other nations have gained the advance of us. Tfie foundation of the Zollverein was the first com mencement of these noble efforts; all similar happy manifestations in our popular existence are but the consequences of that great first idea. Consequently every friend of his country wishes and hopes to see broken the rigorous barriers which have so low sep+.l.- rated us from our brethren along the shores or Our sea and the banks of our chief rivers. Germany seeks the sea—the free, the everlasting sea, where once she was so powerful and so dreaded ; she longs to see the union flag of the Fatherland waving at the mast-bead of German ships, as a prisoner longs to spend the first day of spring in the open fields. Let us hope that the firm perseverance of patriotic statesmen will ere longaccomplish the complete unioa of all races of Germans in one commercial league ; and in the meanwhile let us rejoice that the efforts hitherto made in furtherance of German unity are satisfactory. Musicians will regard the grand music-festivals as the first bud of newly expanding popular existence in Germany. Architects will rejoice at the grand idea (so worthy of Germany) of completing the cathedral of Cologne ; others will view as the most favourable sic of the - times, and of popular cultivation, the fact that the monuments of our great heroes, phihrophers, poets, musicians, and artists, are to be erected in the market-places of German cities ! But they who wish to see the national efforts of the German peoplo based on a solid practical foundation, will hsil no idea with greater approbation than the praiseworthy honourable Manufacturing. Union ofMentz. The2otll anniversary of the assemblage of German physicians and natu ralists in that pleasant and lively town has been fixed on as the occasion of the first general exhibition of German manufactures. _ _ I have with feelings of great gratification inspected these products of German manufactural industry. In passing through the halls and rooms in which they are exhibited, I have heard Englishmen and French men, albeit reluctantly, speak in terms of eulogy of the wonderful perfection of German manufactures ; and I have not seen a German whose opinions did not confirm me in the conviction that to this day no plan, no idea, has been so effectual for promoting a strong German nation 4 feeling as this first exhiletjon of German manufaaures, for which our Fathealanins in- debted to the patriotism of the Mentz Alanufaeturing I have read it in every eye, have heard from every mouth, and I know that no German has quitted this exhibition of German industry, talent, and ingenuity, without carrying home with him an increased love of his country, and an ardent desire to promote the honour of that country. Germania a germinando nomen aecepit! Let it be remembered, that after the great singing festival of 1838, an enthusiastic love of singing pervaded the val leys of the Rhine and the Maine, extending to the north and the south. Similar in effect will be this great festival of German indlistry. In allthe States of Germany manufacturing unions will be famed, and manufacturing exhibitions will be opened•, the more especially in those States in which heretofore nothing of the kind had existed. " Germania! thy future will be great," once said a man who no longer lives in Germany. Let those who think what-our national development will be at the close of the present century look back and reflect on what it was at the century's commencement.

On arriving at Newcastle, the man accompanied the guard into the station-house, to ac quaint the clerk with the circumstance, and to request that the watch might be s a f e l y kept unt il h e returne d with the money, which was 53. The Bishop of Car lisle, who was in the waiting -room with some ladies, having overheard the c onversation, came forward, paid the money, and handed the watch to the man.

GEORGE KEYS, Secretary. BLAIR'S GOUTand RHEUMATIC PILLS CASE FROM LUTON, BEDFORDSHIRE, COMMUNI CATED BY MR. PHILLIPS, CHEMIST AND Dauccasa. TO MR. PROUT,II::9, STRAND, LONDON Luton, Bedfordshire, Oct 19, 1841. Sta,-1 feel desirous of expressing you the great benefit which I have received from he use of lair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I have for several years been afflicted with RheumAisra and Gout, the attacks of which were excessively revere. During one of these pain ful visitations a kind friend presented me with a box of Blair's Pills, from the use of which I found immediate relief, and very soon en tirely recovered. At a subsequent pe•ioi I was so severely attacked that i thought it would be unwise to delay placing myself under me dical care. I did so; but not finding the relief which 1 expeeted, I again became my own physicia At this time my legs and thighs were swelled to a very great extent I immediately procu ed a box of Blair's tills ft om Mr W. Phillips, your gent in thi, town, and after taking wo doses 1 was free from pi.in, and the swelling subsided. I now netve fail to use them whenever I am attacked by this painftil malad , , and they invariably give me relief after one or t.o doses. Several of my acquaintances use them, and experiew e the same be nefit. I trust you will insert this among your list of cases, as lam anxious to bear witness io the efficacy of this excellent medicine. am, Sir, yours, respectfully, Sugar Loaf, London Road, Luton. itICHA lt D STONE.

The most strenuous exertions have been made by the police to discover the perpetrators, but without effQct. The general opinion of the police is, that they have escaped with their valuable booty to the Continent. An old man of Couse (Dordogne), who, notwith standing a great appearance of misery, bore the cha racter of being the possessor of money, committed suicide a short time ago. lie disappeared suddenly, .and a few days afterwards his body was taken up from the bottom of the Do r d ogne, i nto which he had thrown himself, with a hag containing- 10,000 francs round his neck.--Galignani. LITERATURE. THE BE TR 0 THE D. Cadell, Edinburgh, 842.= This is a publication, in a compact, neatly printed ibur-shilling volume, of Sir Walter Scott's tale of the •‘ Betrothed," which, if we re member rightly, was among the least popular of his works of fiction. The tale is also reprinted in an octavo form, and both editions contain all the notes and introductions that were appended in the series which NV brought out in 1830, under the author's active, personal superin tendence. FATHER OSWALD. • Dolman, London, 1842. " Father Oswald" is an answer to a work that appeared some time ago, under the title of " Father Clement," and which was an attack on the Catholic doctrines, which were objected to with no little earnestness ; the present tale, which professes to be an antidote to that baneful production, of course takes the other side of the question, and defends Catholicism in an eloquent, impressive, and, at times, convincing spirit. As a tale, it has little or nothing to recommend it, being almost wholly devoid of incident; but, as a controversial work, it possesses strong claims on the attention of the theological student. THE ARAB BRIDE. Bull, London, 1642. To those who maintain that the present age is a dull, mechanical, matter-of-fact one, utterly destitute of poetic feeling and fancy, we would respectfully recommend an attentive perusal of " The Arab Bride," which will convince them of the fallacy of their hypothesis, and induce them—however reluctantly—to acknowledge that a genius for the exalted and imaginative still lin gers among us, and that we possess at least one poet not unworthy to chirp on the loftiest heights of Parnassus. the " Arab Bride" is indeed a truly surprising production, and so far as eccen tricity of sentiment, description, and imagery is concerned, exhibits peculiarities, which—to quote the elegant language of George Robins—are " more easily conceived than described." That we are unable to comprehend some of its more recondite beauties, is by no means to its discre dit, fbr obscurity is a source of the sublime, and from the' very ambiguity of his language, and the vague, exquisite incongruity of his startling me taphors, is to be inferred the author's possession of genius, of the sublimest order. Like . most great poets, tie rushes at once into the heart's core of his subject, and introduces his hero' o us in the midst of a thunder-storm, *bich it seems, is playing some awkward tricks with a vessel in which he is a passenger The storm must be a very ferocious one, if we may judge from the fol lowing description : ‘rlV9ught now is heard save the billow knocking 'CTainst the barque's hull, now diving, now rocking, Or the sea bird's wild and shuddering scream, As she wingeth past, like some thing of dream ; The wind no longer a moan as before, Runneth through each shroud with a hollow roar, And driveththeprow through each maddening wave Which yawns fir her prey like a hungry grave." After the prow of the vessel has been well ducked—and the passengers too, we presume— by the " maddening wave," the thunder and lightning comMence business on their own ac-. count, and get up a very pretty skrimmage, as is duly set forth in these bewildering couplets : " Hark, on the welkin that low, clanging boom, The thunder, the thunderbath burst from the womb! He comes on his hot and fiery steed, He tears up the turf of Heaven's inky mead, And darts through the jagged rent that snaky flash, Which runs through the mast with a hideous crash, And drags the torn hull 'neath the hissing sea, Down into the depths of immensity ! From the whirling eddy a fearful scream Is sent up for help to the pale moonbeam ; But she smiles on each wretch struggling for breath, A torch to light them to the realms of death." Mercy on us what a sketch ! The shipwreck in Don Juan is a mere j o k e t o it I W e sa y no thing of the extraordinary picture of the thunder cantering on horseback along the sky, and tear ing up the " turf" of its " inky mead ;" but !nark the harrowing description of the drowning sailors, singing ' out to-• the-- moon, and asking her it she will be good enough to lend them a helping hand, to which modest. and natural request she makes no other reply, than by a cold, heartless smile, which it appears is intended to do duty as a " torch," and light the- mariners to Davy Jones's locker !—When the ship sinks, all the crew sink with it, except one, who is of course the hero of the tale, and answers to the name of Morad. Now this Morad, while swimming about in— what Jonathan would call—" a very con siderable pretty particular state of perplexity," suddenly comes in contact with a raft—a most unexpected but welcome godsend, by the aid of which he contrives to keep himself afloat : He drags each weary limb upon its side, A Heaven-sent home where he may safely Now deeper and longer each valley - grows, Higher and higher are each mountain's snows, While the heaven above is a dome of fire, Through which the thunder wanders in mad ire. After floating about for some hours on the raft, during which embarrassing period he is filled with all sorts of strange fancies, besides losing his precious eye-sight, " His sight is ta'en away, he cannot tell, Whether he is going to Heaven or Hell !" After being thus tempest-tossed for the best part of four-and-twenty hours, Morad is for tunately cast ashore on a lonely island, where he instantly falls asleep, which gives the author a❑ opportunity of describing the various beauties, of the island in question. It is, it seems, crowded with " soft palm trees," and is the sole property of " Ali, once of Bedouin band the Lord," who, however, has been disowned by his tribe in consequence of his having wedded, " contrary to law," a young gentlewoman named Stella,by whom he is the father of one daughter, named Zamora, a remarkably good-looking girl, and whom he is anxious to marry to " Kaled," chief of the Bedouin band which has ostracized him. Ac cordingly he proceeds to sound the young woman on the subject, and finds her standing near a vt aterfall, watching the little fishes, and weeping : " The lash that hides the heavenly fire from sight, Is dewed with tears, and dark as darkest night, And rests upon a cheek whose velvet die The pomegranate's best bloom could never vie ; That brow so soft with its arches below, As if the God of Love, on the pearl's glow, Had traced with finger, steeped in henna's ;lie, A fairy hall, whence he might safely fly His fleetest arrows thro' the maiden's eye." The picture of the God of Love standing in a " fairy hall," . built with his own " finger," and taking aim witha bow and arrow a t a l a d y ' s eye, i s a ver y impressive one, and deserves praise for its rare originality ! While Z amora i s weep i ng, and thinking of her absent sweetheart, who, strange to say, is no other than our shipwrecked friend, Morad, " A hand on hers is laid, She starts and turns her eye, is't thou, my Sire ?' " Ali's reply is business-like, and remarkable for the absence of all ceremony, " Who else could it be ? he replies in ire." He then proceeds to tell her that she must make up her mind to marry Kaled, which of course adds not a little to her tribulation, and she wanders away to the sea-shore, still brooding over the recollection of Morad, when on a sud den, to her infinite astonishment, she finds the very man himself; lying, to all appearance, on the sands, as dead as mutton ! With some diffi culty she restores him to life and con/ciousness, after which the impassioned couple renew their vows of eternal constancy, and go wander ing about the island arm-in-arm, in a very happy and excitable frame of mind. But this does not last long, for one fine morning, " Kaled came, Asked for his bride with haughty words, not tame ; Hurried her weeping from her sunny isle, Gave her for tears a horrid, sickening smile; And when she asked some time to bid farewell To each loved stream, her fawn , her shady dell, Her father interfered, and mildly said, Perhaps we may return, when thou art wed.' " This was very ungentlemanlike conduct on di% part of Kaled and Ali ; but Morad is one of those fierce fellows who will stand no nonsense, so off lie goes after Zamora and her uncivil companions, overtakes them as they are sailing away from the island, and engages in a desperate conflict with them, which ends, as might be anticipated, in his own death, and that of his idolized sweetheart. From this brief summary of the leading incidents of the "Arab 13ride," our readers will see that it must be a very heart-breakipg production 5 and ;+c
