Elphinstone and Burnes, together with a!l the enlightened men who have visited these countries, speak consentaneously to the fact that the Allhans claim their descent from the Israelitish stock, and their persons, customs, and religious observances, and ceremonies, are one and all emphatically Jewish. The stamp of the "especial people" is palpably dis cernible upon them, even to the indiscriminate ob server, and among more remote branching& off of the race; and,• were it necessary, we could here magnify our proofs into the measure of a book, confirmative cf the - fact. • TO ADVERTISERS.

VlNERY.—Retain only a moderate crop of fruit on the vines in the late houses ; attention to this point will ensure a larger quantity of good fruit, than if a heavy crop is allowed to remain. Keep the laterals stopped, and the main shoots that are left to grow their full length, tied in regularly. PEACH-HOUSE.—Admit air freely where the fruit is ripening ; and expose the fruit as much as pos sible, to give it colour; avoid taking off the leaves, if it can be done without. Watering at the roots must be dispensed with at the time of the ripening of the fruit. ADVANTAGEOUS INVESTMENT.

The additions made to Life Policies graoted by this Corpo ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as sured than any other Company ha hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporatisn are taken into consideration. The next division of life profits will take place in December, 1846, being an inierval of five 3ears, and persons entering be • fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional rating, and rank at next division of profits fur five complete years.

The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

IPO ARCHITECTS, Engineers, Contractors, Bui'ders. Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade, and also t Shippers. THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT, surparising every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol lowing extraordinary and virluable properties. Remarkable adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces (even to gl ss). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp. The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and more durable it becomes It is perfectly free from any of the caustic qualities of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon as dry, as it is impossible tkat it can vegetate or change colour, nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or peel off. To 'Merchants and Shippers, it must form a rno , t important item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; with regard to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing capital in building speculations. The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5, Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their sole agents, at whose warehouses any quantity may be had, specimens may be seen, and every information afforded. THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER. CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notortowly deleterious German Silver under the guies of " Allude Plate," " Berlin Silver," Etc. &c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying eur material so that acids do not affect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at Our warehouses.

By the Pluton French war-steamer, which sailed from Lisbon en Tuesday the 7th instant, we have the following letter,- via Havre, from Lisbon, which contains the final re sults of the general elections hell on that and the previous day. I_ 'snow, JUNE 7.—The Government has received by te legraphic despatch from different parts of the kingdom the re sults of the various contested elections. These results secure to the Government an immense majority, verifying most com pletely all my predictions upon this subject, and confirming the present Administration so strongly in power, that they will now be enabled to carry through all their measures of financial and general policy, and work out without substantial impedi ment all their designs for the amelioration of Portugal. The elections at Oporto all went in favour of the Govern ment. At Coimbra they had also a very large majority. When the despatch was transmitted (at three o'clock, p. m.) the Government had succeeded in eighteen elections, and the Opposition only in five. At Chaves, the capital of Tras os-Alontes, the Government had been completely suc cessful. In short, throughout the entice provinces of the Douro, Minho, and Tras-os-Montes, the elec tions had been one triumph 'for the Government. In the Alemtejo they had also a very large majority, and in the two chief towns, Elvas and Abrantea, upon which the whole strength of , the Coalition was concentrated, three Government and one opposition 'Member had in each case been returned. No telegravhic communications were arranged for the provin ces of Algarve and Beira, both Ba.io and Alto, but the Government was here certain of a majority. The only re maining province is that of Estremadura, the results of the elections in which are now nearly all ascertained, and Govern ment is certain of a majority of at least fifteen electoral dis tricts. The feeling. of the British residents here, on the subject of the swamping of their privileges, are increasing daily in in • tensity. Their almost unanimous opinion is that they have been treated in a most cavalier and improper manner by the British Envoy-Lthat no consideration has been paid to their feelings, and but little to their interest. They are of opinion that Lord Howard should have called a meeting of their body, fo the purpose of consulting them as to whether they were satisfied to forego the privileges which have been enjoyed here by British residents for centuries,' and especially as to whether they were content to eicliange the protection of their Conservatorral Court for the very dubious justice of the Portuguese tribunals. They are further of opi nion, that in common decency they should have been consulted as to what securities were tp be :.fforded to them in lieu of the privileges which it is meEnt to abolish. They complain that they are left in total ignorance—that what is done, or what undone, they are left to guess-work to determine ; that they have no access to Lord Howard, who has made it a practice to exhibit marked inattention to their body, his Lordship's consi. deration being exclusively extended to two, or at most three, of their body, one of whom (Mr. Lucas) is now in England, and that, for all practical purposes, the correspondence of the Lon don Journals is their most saluable diplomacy. Since I wrote you yesterday, I am enabled to inform you, on authority, that the point which I specified as to the clause of revision in the Slave,tratie Treaty will give rise to no difficulty whatever. The five lines at the conclusion of the article will remain expunged, in accordance with Lord Aber deen's desire, but a word or two will be intrudeccd for the sake of clearness, which will be quite satisfactory to both parties. Both the commercial and slave trade treaties are therefore, in effect, finally concluded ; and if the copying out of both be con cluded in time, they will be forwarded signed, by the next packet. It is no,a placed almost beYond a doubt, that the Duke of Palmella will permanently accept of office. I incline to the opinion that he wi:l enter the - Administration as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. It is poisible, however, that the post which he will hold will be that of Premier, the Duke of Terceira, with the well-known amenity of his disposition, being quite prepared to yield to him the Presidency of the Council, retaining for himself the War Department. However this may he arranged between their Graces, the. Administration will, in all probability, henceforth comprise the two Dukes within its personnel; and superadding to this strength the universally admitted abilities, energy, and influence of Costa Cabral and Ba ron Toja), may be considered as comprising " all the talents." The Government has just received an important communi- cation from Baron de Moncorvo, detailing an interview which he has had with Lord Aberdeen in connexion with the late change of Administration in Madrid. This was to the effect that his Lordship had forwarded instructions to Mr. Aston to acquaint Espartero and the new Government that if any at tempt be made to interfere with the existing state of things in Portugal, England will at once withdraw her countenance from Sp a in, and resist any intrigue of whatever description directed against Portugal. [he Indus will sail for the Mediterranean on Saturday or Sunday next. Lady Stirling and her family sailed for England this mor&ng in the Alban. The Lynx will remain here, and will be quite sufficient for the station. Continued tranquillity is so certain here, that the Admiralty may well husband its re • 110=4:111, CRERRY-110USE.—The trees in pots should be fully exposed to the sun and air for a time, when they may be placed on the north side of a wall, andibe kept rather dry. MELONS.—It is a a frequent complaint that this fruit is without flavour; this we think, in many cases, arises from its being allowed to remain on the vine too long; it should be cut immediately there is any indication of its ripening, and this is easily de tected by the very powerful odour emitted by them at this stage of the growth. WALL-TREES demand- att.9ltion in pruning and nailing; the very' -gro4s-groWing shoots may be stopped, to cause them to throw out laterals ; if there are any large shoots to remove, this is the best time to remove them. Keep all the newly-planted fruit trees watered and mulched ; and if the dry weather continues, all wall-trees would be benefited by a thorough watering. It will be necessary, if the weather continues dry, to water stra w b err i es copiously; afterwards lay straw or short grass between the rows, to preserve the fruit from dirt, and to retain moisture; lay the early runners into pots for forcing. Net cherry-trees and strawberries to preserve them from birds. FLOWER GARDEN. STOVE.—Many of the plants will require potting throughout the summer; young seedling exotics should be potted as soon as they are suf f iciently large; a hot bed would be the best place for them until they make fresh roots, in the absence of which they should by placed in the warmest part of the house, and covered with a hand-glass. _ _ _ GREENHOUSE AND CONSERVATORY.—If the roof of the latter department is moveable, it may now be taken away, but previously to doing so, it should have been left open night and day for some time past. A canvass awning removable at pleasure, to use during bright sunshine, and on cold nights, would preserve the plants from etoilation. Give the plants in the greenhouse a due portion of air, which should be regulated according to the class of plants it contains. Many of the mesembryanthemums and cacti plants may be now planted on rock work, where they will be - found to flourish exceedingly well, and will make a beautiful show during the autumnal months. PITS AND FRAMES.—As we have before observed, the frames for propagation will, at this season, be better adapted for the purpose if placed facing the north ; the bottom heat should be kept up, and the cuttings and young seedling plants duly supplied with moisture. All the half-hardy plants and annuals lately planted in the beds and borders must be supplied with water, while the weather remains so excessively dry, as must also the dahlias ; but these latter may be mulched, which will obviate the necessity of frequent waterings. Put in pipings of pinks, and propagate such herbaceous plants as are difficult of propagation by the division of the root, by the flower stem. Newly planted shrubs and •trees will require watering and mulching. If little besides daisies is growing on the lawn, they should be mown in the middle of the day, when they are Tully expanded. Keep climbing plants properly trained. LORAL NovEmEs---Edward's Botanical Re gister contains several novelties. ERIA POLYURA.—An orchidaceous species, sent home last year by Mr. Cuming to Messrs. Loddiges, from Manilla, thus described :—" Of the now very numerous species of eria, this is one of the most graceful, producing Min ,the sides of long, leafy, fleshy :stems a profusion of delicate tails of flowers, each nearly six inches long. The flowers resemble little semi-transparent bells, just tinged with pink, and having a rich purple and yellow centre. The latter appearance arises from the labellum, which is ovate, heart shaped, and a rich port-wine purple, with a bright yellow trip. Lria floribunda, to - which it nearly approaches, differs in having smaller flowers, erect racemes, and a narrow, wedge-shaped lip, with a solitary tooth on, each side. It is a plant of the easiest cultivation, hut requires a hot, damp, atmo sphere, such as that of an orchidaceous house, where dendrobiums and such plants flourish. The general treatment ought to be the same as is given generally to the extensive race to which it belongs." MIMOSA URUGUENSIS (THE URUGUAY MnfosA.)— ~ A p re tty greenhouse shrub, very nearly hardy, which would no doubt improve much in appearance under the hands of a good cultivator, and it would reward his pains. It is a native of the province of Buenos Ayres, whence see d s were rece i ve d by the Hon. W. F. Strangways, and given to the Horti cultural Society. It flowered at Chiswich in June 1841. It requires such protection in this country as is given to verbenas, acacias, and things of that des cription. It grows well in a mixture of light loam and leaf mould, and may be readily propagated by cuttings in the usual manner." llRamioaus oaLENTALis.— A species of hellebore found on the Bithynian Olympus, and sent to the Horticultural Society. This is supposed to be the black hellibore of the ancients, having purplish flowers as described by Dioscorides, unlike those of H. niger, or Christmas rose of the moderns, which are white.. " In the greenhouse it flowers in February and March, and requires rather a damp shady situa tion, with peaty soil to grow in. It is easily in creased, either by dividing the old plants when suffi ciently large, or by seeds, which Should be sown di rectly they are ripe. ' lIABRANTHUS PRATENSIS—A Chilian species, of a very brilliant appearance, having petals of a rich yel low at the bottom, and bright crimson above. " It seems to like a loamy soil to, grow in, and sends up the flower-stems and leaves early in spring. After the flower fades, the plant ought to be grown in a light situation and freely watered, in order that it may be able to perfect its leaves. When these are fully formed and die off, it ought to be removed to a dry shelf, and kept there until the period of growth comes round, when it can be watered and treated as before. Young bulbs are formed round the old one every sea son, by which it can be propagated." CCELIA BAUERANA.—" The West Indies and Mexico produce this little epiphyte, which although white and inconspicuous, is, like our own lily of the valley, so sweet that it mast take precedence of most. of its race. No hawthorn hedge is more fragrant than a bed of this ecelia. I never saw this plant growingso well as when cultivated in a cool stove, and suspended from the rafters on a block of wood. Almost all who grow many of this tribe are now dividing those which require hot temperatUre from others which grow best in a cooler place. Athongst the latter, therefore, this should be placed ; and it will grow and flourish with little care. It grows fast and is easily multiplied. PAXTON'S MAGAZINE Or B O TANY contains figures and descriptions of epiden drum Phoe nicia. In con nexion with an engraving of the ha ndsome and well known' fuchsia cordifolia , we find the following re marks K ctu e h : - a volcano‘rlis " , It Nyit h by Mr. Hart weg , at Guatemala, at the hei g ht o f 10 000 feet above the sea . It will, therefore, be almost capable of enduring the o p en air in the southern met in parts of Britain, and has been found to flourish well in the borders during summer. We are not aware that its hardihood has yet been further tested. Cul tivated in a greenhouse, or conservatory, with com mon soil, the species blooms throughout the greater part of the year, and is especially useful for coming into bloom in March or April, when the ordinary members of the genus are but just beginning to grow. Planted in the open ground, however, about the pre sent time, it acquires, by the autumn, a luxuriance, and yet a dwarfiness and bushiness, which are not seen in the greenhouse, while the profusion and splendour of its blossoms are , greatly inereased. We should strongly advise that a few plants of it be treated thus, as well for ornamenting . the open borders as for pre-, paring handsome specimens to be removed to the greenhouse in October. Increase is readily obtained by cuttings, and perhaps by seeds. It may-probably prove of some service to the hybridist in improving the colour of the crimson-flowered kinds." CIRRHOPE TALUM CllMM. — Chinese Cirrhope talum. Orchidacem. Gynandria Moandria. (Stove Epiphyte).—There is no longer any occasion for spe culative minds to occupy themselves with the import:. ant investigation of the cause that may have led the Chinese:to invent strange figures of men and wonnn, with their chins in perpetual motion, for here is the explanation of it. We have here a plant from China, nne of whose lobes is exactly like a tongue and chin, and so unstable as to be in a state of continual oscil lation. The flowers are very large for the genus, in general appearance like those of C. maculatum. The petals and upper sepal are purple, the lateral sepals are yellowish green. The flowers are arranged in a circle, and all look outwards, so that on whatever side the umbel is regarded, it still presents to the eye the same row of grinning faces and wagging chins. Messrs. Loddiges imported it from China. It may be in the recollection of some of our readers that the Afghan clover and lucern, of which seeds were received from India a year or two ago, appeared, from a few experiments, to be well deserv ing of cultivation in this country. In pursuance of that admirable system which is acted upon at the India House ; of endeavouring in every possible way to render the productions of Great Britain and India mutually advantageous, the Court of Directors sent out immediate orders for a further supply of both these seeds. The clover Sir A. Burnes had pro mised to send, but the despatch probably never left Ciubul, or, at least, never reached India. A quan tity of Khelat lucern has, however, been sent home, and is supposed to be the same as the lucern sent two years ago. This was the same species as what we already have, that is to say, as medicago sativa, but it was more prolific, and possessed the invaluable property of coming in as green food much earlier in the season than anything known here. This was first ascertained by Mr. Groom, of Walworth, and his evidence has been confirmed by that of others. Wo understand that a large quantity of this seed is at the India House, and we have no doubt that gentlemen wishing to try it may obtain a portion by application to the Secretary, or to any of the Di rectors of the East India Company.—Gardeners' Chronicle. THE « LAND AND CITIES OF CA ÜBU L." GIVEN BY SOLOMON TO HIRAM, KING OF TYRE " The whole is very darkly expressed."—Adam Clarke's Commentary. 12. And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they pleased him not. 13. And he said, What cities are these which thou halt given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Caubul unto this day.-1 Kings, chap. ix. That the " Land of Caubul" mentioned in the book of Kings, was probably identical with that which at the present day is called indifferently Caubul and Affghanistan, has already been halt= avowed and half-denied by some contemporary prints. The following observations collected from some of the best Biblical critics, will, however, show the affirmative belief to be one of some strength and validity. In the verses of the Book of Kings alluded to, it appears that the " Cities of Caubul" in question were situated in the " land of Galilee." To ascertain the precise signification of this latter phrase, or what were the boundaries of such a locale, appears to be the point for notice. Now, Galilee, even in its common acceptation as a portion of Palestine, has with great difficulty had its limits settled, even by so eminent a topographer as Reland. The boundaries of Lower Galilee, assuredly, have been more easily determined ; but to this day every Scripture-writer is at loss to fix, by any incontrovertible rule, the limits of the Upper Galilee. From Reland it appears, that " Galilee, " extend ing beyond Jordan, had for its borders the Traehonitis, Libanus, and Batanaea, the last being more familiarly known by its Scripture title, Bashan. This last city, then, was the ultimate stretch of the provinces of Galilee. But where was Basilan ? There was a city of that name in quite a different direction to that which is now under consideration, but with this we have nothing to. do. Reland confessed himself at fault as to this second Bashan ; but had this learned scholar turned his attention to the etymology of the word, its site would have been somewhat more clearly known. '‘ Basilan" signifies in the original Hebrew " tooth or ivory," and had undoubtedly its name, like most oriental regions and cities, from the most prominent peculiarity which characterised it. This signification at once stamps it as an Indian city, and the inference we shall shortly arrive at will be pre sently seen. Having ascertained that " Galilee" extended as far as Bashan, and that Basilan, from the internal evi dence of the word, was an oriental tract of country, we shall now proceed to show that the phrase " land of Galilee," as applied in this particular instance—far from being bound flown to the strict meaning in which it is generally used—is here to be interpreted, like the preceding word, by its internal meaning. Galilee, in the Hebrew, is a derivative from the radical Galalai, which signifies neither more nor less than a frontier. This is precisely its deter minate meaning in the present case. The cities of " Caubul," as it will be immediately seen, were " frontier " cities, and, indeed, the Septuagint iden tifying " Bashan " with " Galilee" itself in their translation of Isaiah xxxiii. 9, translate " Bashan " as" Galilee," acknowledging them to be one and.the same. From this, then, the conclusion is arrived at, that " Galilee" was the frontier of King Solomon's empire ; that it was the same as Bashan, and that Bashan was an Indian department of territory. Caubul, next we have to observe, like the two fore going words means like them " a border or boun dary." Cruden, Parkhurst, and others, we are aware, assert.that it signifies " displeasing or dirty," and Dr. Wells, on this supposition, in common with the learned, is doubtful as to whether this epithet was given to the land by lliram, as a mark of disappro bation, or what otherwise it should mean. The Seventy however translate it by the Greek word for boundary, supposing that the 20 cities composing it were " border- ones." The commonly. received acceptation of" Caubul" as meaning in the vernacular "displeasing or dirty," will, however, no less favourably aid our position. Hiram we read, was displeased with the cities, and by 2 Chron. viii. 2, we find that he afterwards restored them. An eminent critic has observed hereon that Hiram's people were more especially given to merchandise, than agriculture : Caubul, therefore, being a fat, deep, and dirty soil, and consequently not pleasant to live in, they formed to him but an unacceptable present at best. But the word by which " Caubul" was designated by the Tyrian king was, indeed, truly that which distinguishes the Caubul of Shah Soojah at the present day. Sir Alexander Burness descriptions are precisely such as bespeak "the fat, deep, and dirty soil" of the sacred writer, luxurious and productive to a degree beyond precedent, under the auspices of any one who knew better than King Hiram, the use of the plough and harrow. That the " Caubul,' then, of Scripture—Solomon's Caubul, was that which at the present day is indiffer ently called. Caubul or Affgnanistan, so far from being implausible, is an hypothesis absolutely certain ; but one or two other reasons which we have to adduce will render the point somewhat more devoid of doubt still. It may be set forth as an objection, that Hiram would never have travelled so great a space as from Tyre to Caubul, as situated by us, for the mere in spection of cities, which in the sequel turn - out so un important as to be returned to the giver ; but that the. twp. kings, with their respective sailors and arma ments, did travel that and even greater distances, is proved by the end of the chapter which speaks of these cities. It there appears that they visited ports as far distant as Ophir, for those " wedges of gold" which lent splendour to their palaces at home—Ophir, not that which borders on Arabia, but, says a learned annotator, that "Ophir which lies in India," and of which he further says, to show the distance of the spot and the length of the voyage, " Ophir, situated so as to require a voyage of three years long to go out, load, and return: But as further proof that Solomon did travel to these remote parts, an incidental remark made among the notes of a traveller in last month's " Blackwood,, lends us a striking affirmation. The paper in ques tion is entitled ".N arrative of a Journey from Herald to Ourenbourg ;" and the traveller, Sir R. Shakespear, on the high road to Khyva, comes on six: miles to the much-talked-of " Tuhkt." "This," he says on arrival, " is rather a large sand-hill; nothing else. The Tur (romans believe that Solomon paid it a visit." The river Oxus is said in former years to have flowed near this spot. . Traditions are the unwritten truths of history, and where a corroborative statement, such as the above, comes to the assistance and support of an hypothesis, a statement caught straying over the wilds of Turco mania, and handed down from barbarian to barbarian, from Solomon's time to the present, it may well be believed that the fact is true and actual, and con firmative of a thing which " once came to pass." A further circumstance strongly in corroboration of the above facts is this On the return of the land and cities of Caubul into the hands of Solomon, that king, says the Sacred Writ, introduced "Israelites" to dwell • in, them, there to abide. This 1 p er haps, from traditions That the traditions, then, of Solomon's signet-ring, and his marvellous powers as a magician, should be familiar to every Persian and Alighan throughout the East, is far from being a miracle. Instead of regarding it as a legend of wonder, which the naturally prurient imaginations of the East have caught—or a blowd. shadowing legend which has spread itself, by dirt of its own marvellous properties, we have here an easy and palpable reason why, carried of yore hither by the Jews themselves, it is to this day found and and known in every hovel and haunt of Affghanistan. But, perhaps, the most conclusive fact of the whole we have to adduce is the following, which, based upon the divine organizatidns of the Jewish economy, substantiates the position. The Holy Land, had by the Divine Being himself, been invested by solemn and unchangeable covenant, in " Abraham and his seed for ever." From this high progenitor, Solomon was the direct descendant, and consequently could not. without breaking the most sacred taw or obliga tion imposed by the. Ahnighty upon the Jewish na tion, alienate, or by any means disjoin, a single frac tion from that land, which was to be solely and for ever the inheritance of his own race. This conviction ai , pears to have pressed so heavily upon some of the religious critics who have dwelt upon the passage, that they, with unanimous accord, state that the cities or land of Caulnd, thus ceded from Solomon to Hiram were " heathen" cities, and could not have belonged to the " Promised Land." They knew very well, that Solomon could not make a cession to any one, on any score, of a single yard• arm's length of thatland, which was pre-eminently styled "Holy," and which was inalienably vested in him and his race. No form of then-existing law—no meeting of the Elders in the Gates—no solemnest decision or compact drawn up either by him or by them, 'could possibly ali ena t e a tithe of V the land to another. That the "land of Caubul," therefore, and the cities forming it were extra-Hierosolymite, or without the absolute range of the Holy Land borders, is undeniably certain. Moreover, the coincidence of opinion on this point is a common matter, and the fact, as al leged, is subscribed to by the chief biblical authorities who are admitted into the list of sacred critics. When, hap-hazard, therefore, such an admission comes unasked for, upon us, coupled with the foregoing cir cumstances, doubt as to the identity of the one Caubul with the other, seems scarcely to admit of pre varication or incertitude. - FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS The Semaphore, of Marseilles, gives an account of the arrival in that port of a bold and ingenious sailor, who has constructed a boat formed to fit his own body when laid at full length, in'which he traverses the sea with a swiftness and security rivalling that of fishes. His head and arms alone appear from without, and with the latter, holding a pair of oars, he impels himself along. Provisions are stowed in recesses of the boat, and thus he made voyages from Toulon to Nice and Leghorn, coming to Afarseilles by the islands of Hyeres. On ar riving in port he complied with all the prescribed re gulations, entering his own name, Malbec, and that of his vessel, and then darted across the harbour like an arrow; On - being examined when on shore, the wonderful vessel was found to be a most perfect piece.. of mechanism. It is furnished with a small pump, similar to that used in wine and beer-houses for drawing the liquor from the casks in the cellar, and by means of which any water the . boat may make can be easily discharged. Having been deprived of his left leg, M. Malbec has converted its Wooden' - substitute into a mast, upon which he. occasionally raises a sail suited for his light bArk, and which he can trim with ease, according to the wind, and the course he wishes to steer. M. Malbec's visit to Marseilles is said to be for the pur pose of having a vessel on his plan constructed of cast iron, with various improvement, among which are to be hollow masts, admitting air into .the body of the boat, so that either in foul weather, or when requiring sleep, he may lie down on the mattrass at .the bottom, close the hatchway and apertures for his head and arms, without fear of being suffocated. Ile has given his vessel the appropriate name of the l)uck. A young man of Rhehns, named Bernier, having received a sum of money- for entering the army as a substitute, determined, before his departure, to spend a portion of it in licentious pleasures, and formed, an intimacy with a girl of the town. On the morning of the '2sth ultimo, after passing the night together in a house of ill fame, they went down into the com mon room, and each called for a glass of brandy, but `before either of them had drunk, another paramour of the girl came in, and she, in spite of the remon strance of Bernier, resolved to go away with him. Upon this, Bernier, in his exasperation, took a pistol from his pocket, and discharging it at the girl laid her dead at his feet. He attempted to fly, but was secured with the pistol in his hand. A marriage took place lately at Blois between a travelling dealer and an exceedingly pretty girl, who some years back was a common street-singer. The bridegroom saw her one evening weeping bitterly, from being forced by her father, who was a cripple, to sing when her strength was unequal to the task. The honest dealer took compassion on the girl, then about 14, and offered to put her to school. The fa ther gladly consented, particularly,as he was himself to be placed by the generous dealer in a small shop at Tours, where he could make a comfortable subsistence. Education brought out so many good qualities in the young protege that the dealer thought he could not (to better than become the possessor of such a treasure. He proposed and was accepted, and the marriage took place as has been related. In the afternoon of the 24th ult., a young man, named Pierre Bastard, who had been for some time at variance with his - father, entered the house of the latter, at Vaux, in the Charente, and finding him re posing on the ground, approached within three yards of him, and discharged at him a gun loaded with shot and slugs, a great portion of which lodged in the thigh, and others in the shoulder and side of the victim, who died shortly afterwards of the wounds. A person named Roy, who was lying by the side of the father, roused by 'the report, sprung up, and pursued the parricide. Oncoming up with - him, young _Bas tard displayed'a brace of pistols, and threatened to dis charge them at Roy if be did not desist. The mur derer having thus deterred Roy from following him, went into a meadow opposite his fathers house, and committed suicide. Ile. first discharged one of his pistols into the region of his head, and, this not having immediate effect, he reloaded his gun, and tying a string to the trigger, placed the muzzle on the right side of his head, and by a pull of the string, discharged the contents, thereby causing instant death. Three or four days ago, M. Fontaine, a farmer at Teteghem, near Dunkirk, employed two of his men, Decock and Eduwaele, in emptying . the cess-pool of the premises. Towards the conclusion of the task, the latter went down into it, but was so overcome by the effluvia, that he was obliged to ascend almost immediately. Decock then went down, was affected in like manner. M. Fontaine, undismayed, determine 4 to save his man, and descended with a rope. Ile got him up to the mouth of the cess-pool, and Mme. Fon taine, who had come to his assistance, took the body of Decock, and endeavoured to lift it out ; but the weight was too great for her strength, and she let it fall upon her husband, and both Were precipitated to the bottom, and suffocated in the remains of the contents of the fosse. Other men were then em ployed to relieve theth, and they were drawn up by ropes ; but all the applications of medical skill were insufficient to• restore them to life. .Eduwaele suf fered for some time, • but ultimately was restored to convalescence. At the Court of Assizes for the Charente, a few days ago, a female of 17, named Stonteau, a farm servant, was tried for an attempt to poison another female servant of the same farm, named Noel, ,by putting some ,verdigris, which she had scraped from a brass pump, into the glass from which she was drinking. Noel was very ill, but eventually recovered, and proof having been obtained of the guilt of the girl Stonteau, she was arrested. It appeare d from the evidence that the only motive for the deed was . a de . - , sire to remove Noel, who, according to the pr . i n soner d ._ statement, caused additional labour to b having administered the upon her. Stonteau confessed the poison, but declared that she dno idea that it would kill, and merely w ished to make Noel so ill as The prisoner was to compeller W.leave her. p A letter from Bourges states that during the fair of the commune of Sainte Vite a quarrel arose, - and the Mayor of Saint Maur wishing to interpose be tween the combatants, received a blow from a sti c k, on the head, which almost immediately killed him. The perpetrator of this act has not yet been discovered. We learn from Toulouse that, at six in the morn ing of the 2d instant, Bonnet, the steward of the late Lady Hawarden, condemned in March last to five years' imprisonment for robbery, having received a notification that his appeal against his sentence was rejected, cut his throat with a razor. The wound is desperate and dangerous, but the medical men called in have some hopes of saveing his life. The Echo de la Nievre of the 2d instant, says— " Yesterday the 3d battalion of the 23d regiment of the line, arrived from Oran, passed through Nevers on its way to Orleans. Among them in an old soldier who lost his sight in Africa, and is led by an Arab boy of fifteen. Having been taken prisoner, the sol dier's eyes were put out by the barbarians; and they were on the point of cutting off his head, when they were in turn surprised by our men, and all cut to pieces except one—viz., the lad who now serves as a guide to the blind soldier." The Courrier de Loir-et-Cher states that a com pany of capitalists, in the neighbourhood of Blois, has been formed for the purchase of the domain of Cham bord, the property of the Duke of Bordeaux, which it supposes will be brought to sale. The Patriote de Saone-et-Loire says :—" Mll;. Rosalie C. de V., the eldest daughter of one of the first magistrates of the Puy-de-Dome, eloped a few days since with an Auvergnat, who was her father's steward, and the fugitives made their way to Chalon sur-Saone. They did not venture into any of the grand hotels of the town, but immediately installed themselves hi a humble dwelling near a farm, close to the small river called the Genise. Here they ex pected to enov, without interruption, all the sweets of love and a cottage ; but, alas ! cruel fate in two days betrayed their retreat, and a party of gendarmes surrounded it, and separated them. the young lady was sent back to her father, and the love-stricken Auvergnat was committed to prison for travelling with a false . passport. The father missed from his money-box a sum of 250 gold Napoleons, but nothing more was found upon his worthy steward than 40f. in silver."

Before he reached the bottom, he saw his sack moving on before him, and in a second he brought the bearer to the ground with one blow. The fellow, hOWever, was not stunned, and, before he could be seized, gathered himself up and fled. Finding that he was pursued, he attempted to escape by throwing himself over the parapet by the river-side. The water was too low to make his fall soft, and he broke both his legs. In this state he was carried to the hos pital of the Hotel Dieu. A few days ago, says the Memorial des Pyrenees, the village of Borderes, near Tarbes, was visited by a violent storm, during which the lightning struck an ancient oak, nit still in full vigour, the trunk of which was twenty inches in diameter, stripping it of all its leaves and bark, and - carrying some of its heaviest branches to a distance of 300 yards. The tree itself was split into nearly two equal parts, leaving them as dry as if they had long been dead. A hole of an oval form was made at the foot. Other tees in the quincunx, of which it formed the corner, were in jured in a less degree; but a wooden cross, which had been sheltered by them from time immemorial, remained untouched, nor were even the crowns of immortelles hung upon it as votive offerings in the slightest degree scathed. A party of Young men had passed the evening under the oak, gird had net left the spot many minutes before the event took place. The Prefect of Police has caused to be posted up in all parts of Paris, the usual ordonnance et this time of the year, that no dogs are to be suffered to run about the streets, or to be at liberty in magazines, shops, work-shops, or any other open establishment, without being muzzled. All dogs also must wear a collar, with the name and abode of the owner. To this is added, by desire of the Board of Ilealth, in structions as to the first measures to be taken in cases of persons bit by dogs supposed to be mad. A man of the name of Sciotta, one of the turnkeys I of the prison pf La Force, came to the office of the Commissary of police two slays ago, and delivered himself into custody for the murder of his wife. He stated that he had called, on three other Commissaries, 1 but had found them absent from home. A quarrel, it appears, arose between him and his wife, by whom he has five children, from some jealous suspicions on his part. Blows ensued, and in his. passion he threw i her on the edge of the bed, and stabbed her repeatedly with a knr e.lie then went coolly, as above stated and gave hims e lf i n t o custody.

For a time she lived in joy and litXtiry, but having become enciente; she was heart lessly deserted. Her child being born she placed it out at nurse, and for a time supported the charge by. her industry. After a few months her work failed, and the payments fell into arrear. Two days ogo the nurse arrived with her baby, and and knocking at the door of her lodging, in the Rue St. Spire, de sired to be admitted. The poor distracted girl, wanting bread for herself, instead of letting the nurse. in, seized a knife and cut her own threat. The Com missary of Police was sent for, and the room being forcibly entered, she was found senseless on the floor, but was not dead, and was carried to an hospital, where, however, little or no hopes are entertrined of saving her. SINGULAR DEATH or A Boy.—On IVeclrieslay Air. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at University College Hospital, on the body of John Villiers, aged 13, the son of a surgeon in the array, residing at. 54, London-street, Fitzroy-squate. It appeared from the statement of the deceased's father that the deceased, who was rather a sickly boy, was exceedingly fond of eating vegetables of every description. On Thursday be, ac compaeied by some juvenile friends, wort into the fields for the purpose of gathering sorrel, of which, during the time he was out, he ate a great quantity. On his return home in the evening, deceased complained of violent pains in the bowels, which induced his father to administer medicine to him. He slightly recovered on Friday, but again g radually . got worse, and his appearance left no doubt on his father's mind that he was attacked with cholera. He continued to prescribe for him until the morning of Sunday, when the deceased's mother, fearing he was dying, took him in her arms, and carried him to the above hospital. Dr. Quaine, resident surgeon of the hospital, proved the admission of the deceased about one o'clock on Sunday, evidently, in his opinion, labouring under the effects of cholera. He died in half an hour after. Mr. Quaine here detailed the appearances of the body on pest J a n:l i e: l examination, which left no doubt on his mind that he h ' otifncnhedol.eraihined Jury yd above en caused by taking improper food." lately been discovered Some antique remains have returned b y the e satin{; in verdictg improperot Die d fe fro m c holera, howner of the la nd discovered in this neighbourhood, and • which have just brought at ordered excavations to be ma de, Ileronyal, in Normanby.

The tomb also contained a bronze ornament set with small stones, of the form of a brooch, to'hold a dress or shawl. The warrior's skull is fractured as if with the stroke of a weapon. Some iron ornaments, eaten with rust, were found near it, but their use cannot be imagined.An ofr e d e arth, covered urn covered with slight designs, was placed near these bones. The neighbouring tombs contained two other urns of blue earth, of elegant forms. A medal of Faustina Augusta, found not far off, may indicate the period to which then tombs , b 61014.
