The par ties met at six o'clock in the morning, and fired three Photo each, happily without effect, when the seconds inter Fred, and induced the combatants to be reconciled. THE MUSSULMAN.-Dr. MADDEN'S Tur kish novel under the above title is now before the public. All Who have perused this Author's narrative of his resi dence at Constantinople and other parts of the East will know whit to expect from a tale whose object is not only the development of a story full of intere,t, and new in its character to European readers, but also the exhibition of private society, into which scarcely any modern traveller, except Dr. MADDEN, has been admitted, and which, but for the ready passport obtained for him by his medical character, would still have remained a mystery. On this Account it may safely be asserted that the " Mussulman" is th e most authentic picture extant of Life in Turkey. We have accounts from Port-au-Prince to the latter end of April. On the 12th and 14th sharp shocks of earthquake were felt. So severe a one as that of the litter date had not been experienced for 60 years. The treaty with France had been ratified, and the Consul was residing at Port-au-Prince with great magnificence. Trade was very dull. Coffee was at nine dollars. We have accounts from Havannah to the end of April. The parties arrested on the charge of conspi racy were still in solitary confinement, and no communi cation was allowed. The 74-gun ship Tapperlieten was sold yes terday by auction for the small sum of 15,500 dollars. Three years ago she was sold for about 33,000, which was considered then to be a very small sum. She was for titerly a Swedish ship, but sold to the Colombian Govern ment, and arrived here about three years since. If we are not mistaken, she was sold to pay off expenses. She has been !ying here ever since that time with her valuable a rmament. If this is any criterion of the value of public 86 iln, we believe they have never been held in less repute. 'American Paper. HARROGATE, MAY 27.—This deservedly celebrated and highly fashionable place of resort has now resumed its wonted gaiety and animated as- Pect. The season has commenced unusually early, and under the most favourable auspices, the influx of visiters being unprecedentedly large at the present time compared with any former period since the establishment of Harro gate as a watering place.—Hull Packet. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)-A curious circumstance occurred a few days since near Highgate, which proves that snakes which abound at this season, are not only naturally very timid, but are incapable of sustain ing life for any lengthened period under water. A youth, named TAYLOR, who had gone to a pond for the purpose of angling, observed one of these reptiles on the bank basking in the sua ; upon his making towards it the affrighted creature, seeing no other meant of escape, darted into the water and disappeared. The curiosity of the youth was excited, and he watched to see the snake come lip, when, on the other side of the pond he saw a small bubble which attracted his attention, and on going to the spot, to his utmost surprise, he beheld the reptile in an erect position, with its head close to the surf ice, anti quite motionless. On drawing it out with a stick, it proved to be three feet long, and was quite dead, although it had not been in the water more than a minute and a half. AN. EXTRAORDINARY WITNESS !—At the Manningtree Petty Session on the 10th inst. S. and W. Nzwst.AN, of Weeley, labourers, were charged with having, on the night of the Sth inst. stolen a lamb, the property of Josarse HARE, in Weeley. A principal witness against the prisoners was the mother of the stolen lamb. It ap peared that Mr. HA R le, suspecting he had been robbed, counted his flock, and while so engaged, the bereaved ewe separated fr )m the others, proceeded across the field on the bank which divided the field from that in which the cottage of the prisoners stood, and there continued bleat ing, with her face towards the cottage, till it had been Searched, and part of the lamb found in it. The prisoners Were both committed for trial at the next Chelnasferd Assizes. —Bath. Chronicle. VOX POPULI.--The Vox Populi is pro verbially changeable and capricious. Its versatility was seldom, if ever, more strongly exemplified than in the cage of th e l ate L ord HOWE, before and after the glorious Ist of June. The writer has seen that gallant seaman and accomplished tactician driven out of the Pump-room at Bath, by the hisses and jeers of the motley group that as sembled there, the walls echoing with the epithets—" MY Lord Torbay !" " The Channel Pilot !" " The Feather b t .e(.l Admiral !" "H e fi ght ! what will he fight ? No iling but the mice or old women of France !" After the Ist of June, the enthusiasm in his favour was, if possible, more violent and equally as inconvenient to his Lordship. He Was, on his next visit to Bath, literally carried into 6! Pump-room, the a i r resounding with cheers in com pliment of ins deeds, a n d b e could not stir without being assailed by the deafening shouts of applause of these, who, a few months before, had been load in their execrations against him._ United Service journal.—And this is poplarity!

This day's market exhibited a moderate supply through out ; it, indeed, contained many more prime Beasts than has appeared on any Thursday since the market-day was changed from Frid ty, with the exception of that which exhibited one of the great Christmas snpplies. This is rather a singular circumstance at this sea son of the y ear , at which stal-fed Beasts are always considered to he nearly exhausted, and those that are grass-fattening unripe. Beef met with a very dull sale, at a depression of from 2d. to 4d. per stone; Mutton, Lamb, Veal, and Pork, at barely Monday's quotations. PRICES PER STONE OF BLSI. TO SINK THE OFFALS. R. d, to s. d.

The Duke of WELLINGTON, the Earl of ABERDEEN, and Lord FARNBOROUGH, arrived at the Palace about twelve o'clock, and were introduced to the KING. A number of Warrants, Documents, &c., which Ind been previously prepared for having the KING'S signature stamped on them (by having the intent and nature of the Document indorsed upon it, and signed by three of the Cabinet Ministers, mentioned in the Act), were, it was un derstood, stamped by Lord FARNBOROUGH, in the pre sence of the Duke of WELLINGTON and Earl ABERDEEN; his MAJESTY givingh is verbal assent to each of the Docu ments that was stamped. The Duke of WELLINGTON and the Earl of ABERDEEN attested the affixing of the sig nature. Two stamps were used on the occasion—the one con tained " George R.," the other the KING'S initials "G. R." They were respectively applied to those papers which his MAJESTY had been accustomed to sign in a similar manner beftire the passing of the late Act. These Stamps had been prepared by Mr. WYON, Chief Engraver of his MAJESTY'S Seals, by order of the LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL, and had been approved of at the Cabinet Council held on Monday afternoon. They are made of silver. The Right Hon. Sir We.

(From the Morning Chronicle.) • We have been silent ibr some time on this delicate subject, because we could give no hopes of probable recovery, and we did not wish to re peat, day after day, what every reader must have anticipated. The following statement, from the Courier of last night, may, we believe, be relied on. His MAJESTY may yet linger on for several days ; but it is well understood that his end is rapidly approaching:— We hii;e repined, — in common with our readers, at the meagre information communicated in the Bulletins, even while acknowledging the propriety of the rule which custom and delicacy have imposed upon the Knic's Physicians ; and now, when it is in our power to describe the actual condition of his MAJESTY, it is a task of sorrow that we have to perform, for notwithstanding the confident reports to the contrary, the Royal patient is perfectly aware of the brink on which he is standing, and awaits with a serene but cheerful resignation the coming event. On Monday morning he expressed himself with his characteristic equa nimity to one of his earliest and dearest friends, on those subjects which are uppermost in the mind i when m en pre pare for their audit, and remarked, that t had been pro posed to call in additional medical advice, but that he was satisfied the disease could not be arrested, and that every thing was done to mitigate his anguish which art could suggest. To an observation relative to the Ministerial changes which might possibly ensue, he replied, Come. let us not talk of politics, I have done with them, and I am sure every thing will go on well.' His voice was firm, the self-possession and suavity of his manner unimpaired, and he expressed himself as enjoying the reflection of never having intentionally wronged or injured any individual."

The utmost harmony pre vailed. The first funeral of one of the new police took place yesterday. A fine young man named TAYLOR, who belonged to Wi e r F division, died suddenly of a brain fever, and his remains were followed to St. Andrew's burial-ground in Gray's-inn-lan e by twenty-six privates, four serjeants, and two inspectors.

TPpeara SINGULAR PHENOMENON. A natural phenomenon, called the mascaret, ob served at the mouth of the Dordogne, and in no other river of Europe, should not be passed over. When the waters of the Dordogne are low, and espe cially in summer, a hillock of water, about the hegh► of an ordinary house, is observed at its confluence with the Garonne. It suddenly rises and spreads, rolls along the bank, ascends the river in all its sinuosity, with extraordinary rapidity and a fearful noise. All that comes in its way, on the bank by which it moves, yields to its fury. Trees are torn up, barges sunk, and stones are driven to the dis tance of fifty paces; all fly from it in consternation ; cattle even, with a strong and fierce instinct. It sometimes takes the centre of the river, and changes its shape. The watermen are able by their observa tions to discover its approach, and thus escape certain destruction. A similar phenomenon was observed by the French traveller Condamine in the Amazon river, and by the English Rennell in the Ganges.— Its cause is known, and simple : the tide flowing with a disproportionate quantity and impulse into the Dordogne, which is right in the direction of the Gironde, whilst the course of the Garonne is angular or divergent. The impediments which the mascaret meets as it ascends the Dordogne from sand banks, the sinuosities, ar►d the rapidity of the opposing current, all tend to increase, and it may be said to infuriate, its force. Such is its velocity, that a second must not be lost by him who would observe it.—Dr. Lirdnet's Cabinet Cycloperdia. A TRUE STORY. A Lieutenant of Marines having landed with a party on the island of Cuba, ascended a cliff which frowned over the waves. The ocean and their gal lant ship riding on its surges lay before them. A long extent of gently-rising ground, naked of bush, brake, or tree, spread itself on the opposite quarter. The day passed in all that careless mirth with which sailors generally contrive to load the wings of time when fairly out of their ship, and the jolly group were now preparing for their departure. At this moment a horrible bellowing was heard at their back front, and, turning round, they beheld an immense herd of wild buffaloes rushing towards them with the most furious rapidity down the slope. " Dreadful situation !" would some auditor exclaim, who had the happy faculty of keeping his countenance. " Dreadful indeed, Sir," the Colonel would respond, " for there was no apparent pos sibility of escape. But, Sir, my presence of mind is not apt to fail me. In an instant I saw the only hole at which we could creep out. "Up and away, my lads," I exclaimed, " and for your lives ! Run like lapwings to the edge of the precipice, and throw yourselves smack upon your faces. We'll shew these bellowing rascals a trick worth two of their own." In a crack, Sir, we were all as flat as flounders, with our heads over the cliff. A moment's delay anp we shonld have been spitted on the horns of the wild buffaloes, for they were already hard at our sterns, but quite blind with fury, they did not perceive the trap that was laid for them, and being at full speed they could not stop themselves when they reached the edge of the cliff, so every mother's son of them went pell-mell, helter-skelter into the breakers below. " What, Sir," might the quizzer say, " did nat one of them remain to tell the tale?" " No, Sir," would the Colonel reply, crowning his story with a pun, "by Jupiter, not a tail was left behind."— Warner's Literary Recollections. FISH STORY. Deposition of Captain J. M. Lopez, of the steam boat Neptune, before the Captain of the port of Havannali 9 Having left Matanzason the 3d instant, at seven o'clock A.M. for this place, in the steam schooner Neptune, under my command, I proceeded on the voyage without the occurrence of any thing worthy of notice until noon, when, being off the place called the Frayle, about four miles from the shore, there appeared a large object about a mile and a half from us, which the passengers as well as the crew sup posed to be a wreck; and being under this impres sion, I ordered the vessel to be put about, and as we were approaching, we changed our intention, on account of the wind. But being within gun shot, we clearly distinguished the upper part of the mouth of a fish of extraordinary magnitude. It was elevated about sixteen feet above the surface of the water, and surrounded by an infinite number of other ones, of various sizes, leaping in every direction, occupying a space about a mile in circumference. Going still nearer, we saw it shut its mouth, with a great noise, and discovered a fin about nine feet high on its back, of a dark colour, and about sixty feet distant from the said mouth. We were not able to calculate the length, as it plunged suddenly and concealed the rest of the body. The state of the sea, and the wish of the passengers to get in as soon as possible, obliged me to abandon the ►dea of remaining there any longer to examine it snore leisurely. I put about and ar rived in this port, where I anchored at five o'clock P.M. of the same day. Notwithstanding the disap pearance of the fish, ten minutes after we put about we saw it again in the same position as before. The s►ze of t his fish, incomparably larger than the greatest whale, and of a form entirely different, does not leave me to doubt that it belongs to a distinct species. This is all I have to relate towards the fulfilment of my duty. " JOSE MARIA LOPEZ " Havannah, Jan. 5, 1830." NEGRO INTREPIDITY. Four black officers were arrested on a charge of plotting the assassination of the President of Haiti arid the expulsion of the Europeans —a charge which they denied, but admitted a desire to alter the Go vernment, and to break off all connexion with France. They were condemned, and their execution is thus described by Mr. Mackenzie in his Notes on Haiti: —" They moved on without the slightest hesitation, until they arrived at the fatal spot, close to a dead wall. On reaching it, they still remained pinioned; but the policemen retired, and the shooting party advanced with evident reluctance. At the word being given, the firing commenced, and instead of the wretched scene being closed by one, or at most two well-directed fires, there was absolutely a suc cession of discharges resembling a feu-de-joi. lam sure that not less than one hundred discharges mutt have taken place before the execution was ended. On reaching the ground the whole four refused to be bandaged, threw off their hats, and exclaimed to their executioners, Ne craignez pas !' The first volley only slightly wounded Cap tain Francois, who stood at the extreme left; a se cond brought hies down, though still alive. Michel was shot through the body in several places, and had both his arms broken before he fell. Lieutenant Lion fell next, after having been severely wounded. During the whole of this revolting exhibition, Ser jeant Lion Courchoise was standing on the extreme right of the party, calmly smoking a cigar, without moving a limb or a muscle of his face. A ball through his body brought him to the ground, and as he touched it, he spat the cigar from his mouth, and calmly discharged a volume of smoke from his lungs. The firing party then advanced, and putting the muzzles of their pieces to the bodies of these unhappy men, ended their sufferings by blowing them literally to pieces. They dreamt not (adds Mr. Mackenzie) of future immortality, nor that a record should ever be made of a firmness and cou rage which would have done honour to any Roman." A few days since some men employed in quarrying stone discovered, in a field near Huish Church, the skeletons of nine human bodies, lying about 18 inches under the surface, and from two to four feet asunder. It a ppeared that a few inches under the surface there was a strata of white lias stone, which had been apparently taken up for the purpose of depositing the bodies, but at what period they were so deposited can be only conjectured, as, on being moved, the remains crumbled to ashes.—Bath Chronicle. IRISH TOBACCO. (From the Dublin Morning Register.) The following may be considered as the result of the general evidence before the Committee of the House of Commons on tobacco cultivation, up to Wednesday, May 26, the fourth day of sitting:- 1. That in Ireland the average produce per acre is equal to that of the United States. 2. That the cost of production is the same. 3. That tobacco is a superior preparation for wheit, but, like hops or potatoes, returns nothing for the renovation of the soil. 4. That the quality of Irish tobacco is not equal to that of Virginia, hut is admitted to be capable of great im provement. 5. That a difference of duty is requisite for a time to compensate the difference of quality. 6. That the cheapness of native tobacco will overcome all obstacles to its use, and compensate the revenue by an increase of consumption. 7. That the attraction of capital, its diffusion in wages, the certain employment of the people, their improved com forts and habits of industry, will advance general improve ment, and further revert through various channels to the benefit of the revenue. These premises being established by evidence for and against the measure, the only difficulty before the Committee is the revenue. To guard this, two modes have been canvassed,—first, a pound tax on the cured article; and secondly, a tax on the super ficial extent under cultivation. The first has been abandoned by reason of the required supervision of an extensive excise establish ment ; and the second has been preferred, as the duty can with facility be collected by a classification of the crops, and a graduated icale of duty charge able on the grower. This last preference being conceded, has only been objected to on the ground that the duty en foreign tobacco being chargeable by the pound weight, it cannot compete with an article not precisely deter mined by the same standard, as the view and return of cured tobacco may vary. W. COOPER, Union-street, begs to inform the inhabitants of Birmingham and its vicinity, that he has ordered an extra supply of Bell's Life in London of Sunday, June 6, containing a Portrait of his MAJESTY, which will arrive at his house in Union-street, for sale, early on Sunday morning. Bell's Life in London will also have the best account of the Fight on Wednesday. All victuallers' houses frequented by sportsmen should take in Bell's Life in London and Sporting Chronicle, the price of which is only Sevenpence. It was expected that before the sessions ter minated, some order would have been made relative to the putting into execution the sentence against BOSSY for per jury. We are informed that there has been a new pillory built upon an improved principle, and that the Secondary of London, with whom the Judge's order lies, will shortly name a day, when the convict will have to undergo an ordeal which he appears to consider a greater punishment than his term of transportation.— Times. On Tuesday evening, as a man named LAW TON was returning home from his labour at Eltham, in Kent, just as he entered the town he met a dog foaming very much at the mouth, and his tongue hanging out ; he stepped aside to avoid him, but was unable, and the animal snapped at his leg, but missed it, and proceeded on towards Lewisham. The man made ass alarm, and the rabid animal was instantly pursued by many per sons ; but none were able to come up close enough to destroy him. One of the villagers fired at him, but unfortunately missed him. In his career he ran across a paddock, and bit three lambs and a very fine ewe that were grazing therein, the property of Mr. JOHN SMITH, the farmer. The lambs and ewe are locked up for the present ; but notwithstanding the exertions of the villagers the dog, which was of the terrier breed, escaped destruc tion ; and it was subsequently ascertained the same dog had bitten a little boy at Blackheath in the calf of the leg. On Sunday night last, or early the following, morning, the residence of the Right Hon. Lord MARY BOROUGH, in Saville-steeet, Bond-street, Piccadilly, was broken into and entered by thieves, and property to a large amount sto'en. In what manner the robbers obtained an entrance has not transpired, but it has been rumoured that they gained admission by getting over the area and breaking through the kitchen windows. No information of the burglary was given to any of the police-officers until yesterday morning, before which time there is n, doubt the whole of the stolen property was disposed of, and the gold and silver articles placed in a crucible and melted. The Government Police Gazette of yesterday offers a reward of 501. for the recovery of the Stolen booty, or in proportion for any part thereof. The value of the property has been estimated at 2,0001., but this is supposed to be considerably beneath its real value. The police constable who was on duty at the time of the burg lary has, we understand, been suspended. Yesterday forenoon, a fine young woman, about 19 years of age, named MARX ANN PHILLIPS, servant to Mr. PuNsuoN, plumber and glazier, in St. Thomas's street, in the Borough, was brought to Guy's Hospital, enduring great pain, produced by the bite of a cat supposed to be in a rabid state. It appeared that on Monday la,t the cat was observed by Mrs. PUNSHON to look very wild about the eyes, and to exhibit very un usual appearances; she sometimes would run up stairs and down several times, and fearing it was mad, and dreading the consequences that might befall any of her family, she determined upon drowning the animal. The maid servant undertook the office, and went in search of the cat, whom she found up stairs in the closet; she attempted to catch hold of it, when the animal flew at her and fastened on her right hand with her teeth—the girl still kept her hold, and ultimately destroyed it. She subsequently felt great pain in the part that hal been bitten, and Mr. WALKER, the surgeon, was sent for, who advised her going to the hospital to have the piece cut out; she, however delayed going, till finding the pain increase, she yesterday went, and the part that was bitten was cut out, and the patient placed in bed in Chapel-ward, where she still remains in much agony. SIEGE OF HAARLEM.—ThiS event took place in the year 1672. After resisting for more than seven months the effects of the Spanish army, and exhaust ing every kind of food, even of the most offensive descrip tion, by which nature could be supported, the garrison de termined to cut a passage through the enemy's camp. The women and old men, whom it was intended to leave behind, on hearing of their resolution, flung themselves at the feet of the Governor, and entreated not to be deserted ; they were prepared, they said, to share all dangers with their husbands, their brothers, and their kinsmen, rather than be exposed to insults and death in a more horrid shape from the sanguinary ferocity of the Spaniards. Their plea was irresistible ; and the troops, marshalling them selves in a hol'ow square, of which their bravest soldiers formed the front and rear, placed the women and aged men in the centre, and thus prepared to execute their purpose.—. Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopedia. MUTABILITY OF HUMAN AFFAIRS.— BONAPARTE visited Lyons soon after his assumption of the imperial diadem. The Place Belle-Cour was still a ruin ; and one of his first cares was to order and provide for its reconstruction. The Lyonnese, in return, were going to erect a statue to him in its centre ; but he would not, a.• he is reported to have declared, " stand in the midst of ruins ;" and the monument was postponed until the place appeared in more than its former splendour. The statue was erected, and an imperial palace built contiguous, as a monument of the gratitude of Lyons. The restoration came, and with it Lyonnese gratitude took another direc tion ; the statue of BONAPARTE made way fur a new equestrian statue of Lours XIV. the imperial palace was changed into the prefecture of police, and the Place Belle- Cour into the Place Louis le Grand.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopedia. INTERESTING SCENE.—JOSEPHINE, whose susceptibility appears to me, even now, excusable, knew well my sentiments on the subject of BONAPARTE'S found ing a dynasty, and she had not forgotten my conduct when, two years befere, the question had been agitated on the occasion of Louts XVIII.'s letters to the First Consul. I remember that, one day, after the publication of the parrallel Of CAESAR, and CROMWELL, and BONAPARTE, JOSEPHINE, having entered our Cabinet without being an nounced, which she sometimes did, when, from the good humour exhibited at breakfast, she reckoned upon its con tinuance, approached BONAPARTE softly, seated herself on his knee, passed her hand gently through his hair and over his face, and, thinking the moment favourable, said to him in a burst of tenderness, " I entreat of you, BONAPARTE, do not make yourself King ! It is that LucIEN who urges you to it. Do not listen to him." BONAPARTe replied, without anger, and even smiling as he pronounced the last words, " You are mad, my poor JOSEPHINE. i s your old dowagers of the Faubourg Saint Germain, your RocHEFoucAutns, who tell you all these fables Come, now, you interrupt me: leave me alone."—Bour rienne's Memoirs of Bonaparte. EARLY SYMPTOMS OF BONAPARTE'S MALADY. Bonaparte often experienced severe bodily pain, and I have now little doubt that his suffer ing was occasioned by the commencement of that malady which terminated his life at St. Helena. These pains affected him most acutely on the night when he dictated to me the instruc tions for General Le Clerc. It was very late when I conducted him to his apartment. We had just been taking a cup of chocolate, a beve rage of which we always partook when our bu siness lasted longer than one o'clock in the morn ing. He never took a light with him when he went up to his bed-room. I gave him my arm, and we had scarcely got beyond the little stair case which leads to the corridor when he was rudely run up against by a man, who was endeavouring to escape as quickly as possible by the staircase. The First Consul did not fall, because I supported him. We soon gained his chamber, where we found Josephine, who, having heard the noise, awoke greatly alarmed. From the investigations which were immediately made, it appeared that the uproar was occasioned by a fellow who had been keeping an assigna tion, and had exceeded the usual hour for his departure. of the year 1802, Napoleon began to feel acute pains in his right side. I have often seen him at Malmaison, when sitting up at night, lean against the right arm of his chair, and, unbut• toning his coat and waistcoat, exclaim, " What pain I feel !" I would then accompany him to his bed-chamber, and have often been obliged to support him on the little staircase which led froth his cabinet to the corridor. He frequently used to say at this time, " I fear that, when I am forty, I shall become a great eater : I have a fore boding that I shall grow very corpulent." This fear of obesity, though it annoyed him very much, did not appear to have the least foundation, judging from his habitual temperance and spare habit of body. He asked me who was my physician. I told him M. Corvisart, whom his brother Louis had recommended to me. A few days after he called in Corvisart, who, at a subsequent period was appointed First Physician to the Emperor. He appeared to derive much benefit from the prescriptions of Corvisart; whose openat tifi r a s nd t moment,go good humoured afavourable ssi a o d n e , on him. The pain Bonaparte suffered augmented his irritability, and influenced many acts of that period of his life. He would often destroy in the morning what he had dictated over night ; and sometimes I would take upon me to keep back articles which lie had ordered to be sent to the Moniteur, and which I thought likely to produce a mischievous effect. In the morning he would sometimes express surprise at not see ing in the Moniteur an article he had dictated the night before. After making some excuse for not sending it, I would shew it him, that he might look it over again. After reading, and making some observations on it, he usually tore it up, saying it would not do.—Bourrienne's Memoirs of Bonaparte. NEW MIRACLES. A new sect of believers has lately sprung up in Gareloch, Scotland, whose faith and works,are .be ginning to attract the attention of the learned, as they haVe for some time excited the warmest feel ings of the ignorant. About a twelvemonth ago, a volume was published, entitled," Peace in Believ ing, being the Letters and Memoirs of Isabella Campbell," a young person who died of consump tion. This volume acquired great popularity amongst kindred minds, both from the interesting character of the writer, and the natural eloquence of her let ters. About the period of the publication, a brother and sister of the deceased were taken ill -of the complaint of which she died. The similarity of the circumstances, character, and acquire , ments of the two sisters, excited a consider able interest amongst those who considered them selves the true believers. Every word the apparently dying sister spoke was listened to as in spiration, and she spoke with fervour and fluency truly wonderful. Miss Campbell was of the sect who lay claim to direct inspiration, and being lis tened to with such reverential feelings, she probably regarded what she poured forth to her admiring auditors with such facility, as in reality the outpour ing of the spirit. Contrary to all expectation she some months ago began to recover, and determined, in gratitude to heaven, to devote her life to the con version of the heathen. It was obviously necessary to the success of her work that she should understand the heathen language. The difficulty was overcome by a new miracle, and Mary Campbell received the gift of tongues, in which she became quite as fluent as in her native speech. It is true no one who has yet listened to the voice of her inspiration can understand one word she utters, when she quits her mother tongue; but their faith is not shaken in the reality of the mi racle which is to be manifesteJ, even to unbelievers, when Mary visits the heathen. Every time she opens her mouth the sounds she utters are different; but this only proves the greatness of the miracle the languages being those of many nations. The fame of Mary Campbell's inspiration, and the divine influence, as it was called by the true believers, was felt by others of the faithful. The shape it in ge twral took was the miraculous cure of diseases. When the miracle did not work well, it was always owing to want of faith in the subject. An in spired brother approached the bed of his sis ter, who had been confined to it a long time, and commanded her, in the name of the Lord Jesus, to rise and walk. Her faith was per fect ; she arose and walked about her room, and .lept better that night than she had done a long time before, and has continued well ever since, though thin and emaciated—a circumstance which causes a want of faith in many, who cannot believe that God would work half a miracle, but thia he would at once remove all traces of the complaint. Other similar miracles have been performed, and some hale failed for want of faith. The effect of the imagination in the cure of many diseases is well known. Miss Mary Campbell's miraculous tongues, understood by no one, can be accounted for ; but the real miracle is, that men of education—that members of the Scottish Bar, and Ministers of the Scottish' Church—should be found among the be lievers. Their number exceeds two thousand, and it is still increasing.— Abridged front an Edinburgh Paper. THE PONT DU GARD AT NISMES.—The Pont du Gard, one of the most stupendous monuments re maining of the genius of ancient Rome, is about seven leagues from Nismes, nearly on the Paris route. The grandeur of this edifice vanishes in description and detail. The best idea given of it is by Rovsse.ku, who yet but re cords his own sensations :—" I came," says he, " pre pared to behold a monument worthy of the hands which had reared it. For the first time in my life the reality surpassed my expectations; and it belonged only to the Romans to produce this effect. The aspect of this simple and noble work struck me the more, that it is in the Enlist of a desert, itt which silence and solitude render the ob ject more striking, and admiration more lively. One asks himself, what force can have transported these enormous stones so far from any quarry, and brought together the strength of arm of thousands of meni: wheretitereie )tot one man now ? I went over the three stories of thia:superb edifice with a sentiment of respect which mide . me '- fear to tread it : the echoes of my footsteps beneath' its int. mense vaults, seemed as if I heard: 16e strong `voice of those masters of the world who had built it."--D r ; L ar d,' ner's Cabinet Cyclopedia. ice, ch ile, but ;14e0 ial) II 1 . 1 ths,- for — , to - tbe lber Pear rom arly 6 to vatel ador , pre-• cted I to outh rest. may es ty• met but.a I s if few firm Five From ;in luta it is idry 1 the also alf I one :kali ISS ; Me 3ited tong dated been LIM'S rical A on 'MU' Star wined pur- o be ch so epre" if he
