He spoke to me feelingly of the miseries which Algiers had suffered under‘the government of the Turks ; and the greatest suf. ferer, he said, of the Mussnlman population was the Dey himself. Even the last and most fortunate of all the Deys, Hussein Pacha, lived but as a prisoner in his oivn palace at the Cassaba for some twelve years.

" Why did Alley ca m . Pete," I said, " for a throne which was so precarious r He answered me, " They did not compete. When the Jit• nissaries elected a Turk to wear the c4ftan, he durst not refuse it. 1 world rather have befe.i the lowest shop. keeper in Paris than the Dey of Algiers. In talking about the Turks, told him an anecdote of one of the most distinguish:6d Algerine Turks who clime over to London, and waited on the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lord Bathurst, who received him of course, with due respect. But his Algerine Excellency thought that etiquette required him also to pay his respects next day to Lord Bathurst's cook. He rias shown into a lower saloon, and cookey was brought thither, with his apron before him, and his shirt-s? coves tucked up. Panic-struck • was the lord of the fryi:,, g -p a n, as he gaped at the salaam of his oriental visit,_, - ,:;and he ran back to his kitchen in a slew of astoll ; ":nment. " Aye," said Ben Omar, " the sim p l e T7.1:1( thought that your manners were like thew of A b 7,.ier s . here it was necessary for the Dells cook to be his confidential friend, for a little mistake in his cookery might have affected his Highness's stomach to a degree that might have created the necessity for a new election. Thus the cook was. a high dignitary at the Court of Al giers ; and, for that matter, so was the hangman—a very great officer indeed, scarcely inferior to the Hasnagee, or Prime Minister." At parting, the Moor shook me cordi ally by the hand, and requested me to come and see him at his country house. Apply to WILLCOX and ANDERSON, Managers, No. 46, Lime-street. No. 13,5.17.

AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the Inhabitants of the Town and Borough of New Shoreham, duly con vened by the High Constable, and held at the Star Inn, the 4th d 4 of January, 1836, " For the purpose of taking into considera tion the advantages likely to result to Shoreham from a railroad co mmunication with the Metropolis and Brighton ; and to adopt such measures thereon, as to the meeting might appear expedient," Mr. GEORGE IRVINE in the Chair, the following resolutions were passed unanimously : Resolved —That a railway communication from London to Shore ham, with a continuation to Brighton, is calculated to prove of the greatest advantage to the town and port of Shoreham. Resolved —That the port of Shoreham offers great facility for a communication from London to the Continent, and is also well Stdaped for carrying on important branches of foreign trade, and for the shipping of agricultural produce. it is desirable, therefore, that th e R a il way s h ou ld b e di r ect from London to Shoreham. Resolved—That the line proposed by Mr. Stephenson offers ?teat advantages, and on many accounts is preferable to the other lines, and as the measure has received the sanction of a large por tion of landowners, and is undertaken by a powerful body of Pro prietors, who have subscribed the whole capital required for the completion of the Railway, this Meeting do pledge themselves to InPport the measure, and to use their interest to promote the un dertaking. Resolved—That this Meeting, being convinced of the very great advantage of the proposed Railroad to the Borough of Shoreham, do request the Members to give it their most strenuous support. GEORGE IRVINE, Chairman. Resolved—. That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman, for his courteous and able discharge of the duties of the Chair on the present occasion.

ITEALTH AND BEAUTY.—An eminent Medical Writer has remarked, and experience has proved the fact beyond dispute, that those who are attentive to keeping the , totnach and bowels in proper order, preserve health, prevent dis ease, and generally attain robust, cheerful, and healthy old age ; for that ttuly desirablm purpose_ STIRLINC'S STOMACH PILLS _ .... ---- are particularly adapted, being prepared with the Sulphate of Qui nine, Extract of Chamomile Flowers, and the most clibice Sto itnaeltic and Aperient Drugs of the Materia Medics.

They are also truly efficacious in the Cure of Colds, Agues Asthmas, Rh e umatism, Gout, Jaundice, Drop s y and Gra vel, and an excellent Restorative after any excess, or too free indul gence at table, as they gently cleanse the bowels, strengthen the stomach, sweeten the breath, cheer the spirits, brace the nerves, indu ee a healthy action of the liver, improve digestion, and in vigorate the whole system.

ANOTHER WHALE SHIP, THE " HARMONY," AERIVED.—Henry Groat, first mate, and Robert Meggison, second mate, of the ship Dordon, arrived here to-clay in the Harmony, from Davis' Straits, depose that the ship Dordon was totally wrecked in the ice on the 20th October, in lat. 67 N. and 43 miles from the West Land. The crew were saved, and divided amongst the following ships :—Captain Willis and half the crew, with half the provisions, were taken on board the Abram, which ship had then 94 men on board ; the 'rest were divided, taking their proportion of provisions, between the Grenville Bay, Lady Jane, and Norfolk, except themselves, who came in the Harmony. The Harmony got clear of the ice on the 28th November, in about 62 50 N. lat. and about 60 W. long.: had not seen any of the other ships since 13th November, on which day the Abram was in sight at 12 miles N.W. of them. .Nw The Grenville Bay, - folk, and Lady Jane were in sight, lying close together, covered in with canvas, about 18 miles N.W., but have no subsequent knowledge of these ships. Since we received the above, we have seen a letter which came by the Harmony, from the Captain of the Grenville Bay to his owner. His hopes of getting clear are better than the above paragraph would have induced us to be liev,e,Tyne Mercury. T 49 wpghpr has been variable and stormy.

GRATUITORS .EGRET.--A modern writer ex presses his - regret that " George the Third bad not con ferred the honour of Knighthood on David Garrick." Cott sidering that there is no instance upon record of a similar distinction, nor any proof that our Roscius himself ever courted this distinction, it is almost a pity that any one should go back sixty years to find something to be sorry about. MR. STANLEY, M.P.—We are enabled to state, on the best authority, that the report, that our excellent and talented Representative, Edward Stanley, Esq., M.P., of Ponsonby Hall, is dead and privately buried, is a mali cious fabrication. The Hon. Gentleman, it is true, has lived incog. since his unfortunate vote on the Malt Tax, but the report of his decease is entirely unfounded; We are also enabled to add on authority, that Mr. S. is actively en gaged in making preparations for the approaching egg-lating season, and superintending the interesting natural processes preparatory with the oviparous tribes, and fully expects, against the middle of next month, when Parliamentary business will commence in good earnest, to accumulate a store sufficient to supply his breakfast table during the Session. We have also heard it whispered that the Hon. Gentleman is engaged in a course of profound experi ments, for the purpose of investigating the most efficient method of preventing fresh eggs from turning stale, a department of economy to which his talents are peculiarly suited, and intends at once to put an end to the imputation that he is entirely incompetent to the duties of a legislator, and to redeem his credit with the agricultural interest, by introducing a Bill into the House of Commons, making it a penal offence to import eggs from the coast of France into -the port of London, thus protecting the interests of that important and interesting rural class the British hen-wives, who intend in return to present him with a superbly orna mented cock's-comb as a token of their gratitude t:nd emblem of his deserts. We have not received any precise informa tion as to manner in which his .eminent colleague, Samuel Irton, Esq., of Irton-Hall, disposes of his learned leisure ; but we have no doubt that it will be one equally commen surate with his unbounded reputation and undoubted abili ties.— Whitchaven Herald. Two LIVES LOST.—While two men, of the names of James Gibson and James M'Farlane, were at work in No. 9 coal-pit, belonging to the Muirkirk Iron Company, on the morning of Thursday se'nnight, the roof and coal fell on them, weighing about twelve tons, when melancholy to relate, they were both instantly crushed to death. They were both very steady men, and have left wives and fami lies to deplore their untimely end. It is ,our melancholy duty to record another acci dent, in the Engine-pit at Muirkirk, on the morning of Monday, the 21st inst., when a collier of the name of James Logan was crushed to death by the roof falling on him while at work. He was a young man, and unmarried.—This is the fourth death by accident, in this place, - within a week. —Dumfries Courier. _ _ During the past Nyeels, an advance of about 15 per cent. has been made on the selling price of coals steathed in this neighbourhood. We understand that this is par tially attributable to the general difficulty of finding col liers, and partially to the general suspension of work during .the Christmas festivities. The stocks of coals on the banks are and have been extremely low.— Whileltaveu Herald. A MAID AND A MAGISTRATE.—A petition has been forwarded to Captain Pechell, for presentation to his Majesty, b y Mary Ann Booth, of Brighton, praying that Sir David cott, Bart., may be removed from the roll of Justices, in consequence of his • having committed her for felony, against the evidence of the prosecutor.—Brighton Guardian. Some of the over-zealous of the Tory party pro claimed last week that the Hon. Mr. Fitzroy.and a friend would visit Lewes this week on a canvassing expedition. They calculate on a speedy dissolution of Parliament. Should such an event happen (which is not believed here, unless Lord Melbourne should be defeated again in the House of Lords on the Irish Church Bill), the Reformers arc perfectly prepared to meet Mr. Fitzroy and his ally. — Brighton Guardian. On Friday night a workman had got upon the rail way near the King's Park, and fallen asleep with one o f his arms lying across the rails, when the railway coaches that leave Edinburgh at four o'clock unfortunately passed over his arm, and completely shattered it. He was imme diately conveyed to the Infirmary, and bad the arm ampu tated.—Edinburgh Advertiser. RAILWAY.—A few weeks ago, we intimated it was rumoured that the Earl of Burlington was going to make a Railway from the Slate Quarries to the river lluddon• The railway will be commenced immediately. At the fair in Killarney last week, cows fetched a good price ; pigs, however, did not bring so advanced a price as was generally expected. The recent purchase, by the Earl of A boyne, of the extensive and valuable estates of Glengarry, has been the occasion of great rejoicing among his Lordship's tenantry in Aberdeenshire. A SPEECH I I—At the Hastings Municipal Dinner Mr. Breeds spoke thus .44 Mr. Chairman, we come here to be comfortable. It is not the day for politics. Polities! I don't know any thing about them. My sentiments are these : I love my King, I love my country, and I love 1)131 constitution.—(Laughter.) Well, I wish to live as long as I can,and wish every one else to't. My sentiments a re these, Mr. Chairman : May every n:an have sympathy for others, but need not the sympathy of others for himself. I ; 1 34 11' kry to live for ever as I have lived, and hope every I' ! ?;# else will do the same."—(Shouts of laughter, a midst, yf t hip4 Mr;l3re4ls sat d4win) •." . • • • On the motion that the Report be adopted', Mr. CURTIS wished to ask whether it was tr'tie that as much as ten minutes elapsed before assistance was given by the medical and other officers to the unfortunate persons ? • There was an impression out of doors unfavourable to the *Society, in consequence of this statement. Mr. BENJAMIN HAWES, the Treasurer, said that the Committee had had the drummer-boy before them, and f ro m questions put to him, it felt satisfied that mistakes as to time had been committed. The drummer-boy deserved the greatest praise for having rushed in to save the persons in the water, while hundreds were looking on without ren dering the least assistance. He had succeeded, assisted by one of the Society's men, in saving two or three of those immersed in the water. After the inquest had terminated, those who had previously expressed a feeling that the So ciety's officers had not acted promptly, came forward and shook hands with him (Mr. Hawes), and observed, that no blame whatever could be attached to the Society. . The Society had been established 62 years, and had saved a great number of lives. If the public expected more from the Society, they must afford the means of doing it, and the as sistance of Government ought to be given. Mr. CURTIS said he was only anxious to correct the impression which existed out of doors, that ten minutes had elapsed before assistance was rendeied to the unfortu nate persons. Mr. B. HAWES, M. P., said the charge against the So ciety, that the boats were left in care of the boy, was not true. There were not less than 70 people in the water at one time, and when it was known that , the Society's men were - absolutely obstructed in their duty by the crowd, it was remarkable that so short a delay in rescuing the unfor tunate persons had taken place. The Society's men were armed with no authority to preVent obstrUCtions to them. Mr. SWEET said that the Police Commissioners had granted a number of police, but the latter declared that it would' have required a regiment of soldiers to keep the people off. Mr. B. HAWES said the expenses during the skaiting and bathing seasons to . the Society was between 201. and 301. per week, and although it had funds, still the Commit tee were bound to look to its future prosperity: _ Mr. CURTIS moved a resolution that it . be referred to the Committeeto draw up a statement relative to the late la mentable accidents at the Serpentine and in St. James's Park, for publication and circulation. The resolution was carried, The adjudication of prizes and rewards to persons who hare saved the lives of their fellow creatures, was postponed until the 18th instant. The SECRETARY reported that since the new Receiving House bad been completed. 60. persons had been restored. . . • Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting adjourned. A tradesman in Blackman -street, named Caston carrying on the occupation of a " general dealer," had a narrow escape from suffocation a few days ago, under rather singular circumstances. It seemed that amongst other articles he had purchased at a sale, a diving appa ratus, which would enable the wearer to remain under water for a considerable time, also came into his posses sion, Never having seen a machine of a similar construc tion before in his life, Mr. Caston was determined .upon trying it in the first instance on terra firma,.and for this purpose drew the helmet or cap over his head, and then adjusted that part whielf fitted the lower extremities. He, however omitted the most essential part of the apparatus, namely, the valve which admitted the air into that part which fitted over his head and face. The consequence of this neglect in trying the experiment. had nearly cost him his life, for when one of his servants entered the warehouse Mr. Gaston was discovered rolling about on the floor, en velbped in the diving apparatus, apparently in great agony, and from which, with all his endeavours, he had neither the power to call out for assistance or to extricate himself. The servant had just entered in time to disengage the appa ratus, otherwise his master would have been suffocated. The heroic "conduct of Patrick Coffey, who, at the imminent peril of his own life, succeeded in rescuing six of the crew of Les Deux Sours, from certain death, has been rewarded by a sum of 201., which was unanimously voted him on Wednesday last at Lloyd's, at a general meeting of the subscribers. He has, we understand, been also presented with a silver medal and 21. from the Marine Shipwreck In stitution, as a token of the .adiniration which his intrepid humanity has inspired.-11 7 a/erfird Chronicle. SIAMESE POLICE.—The seals which the Emperor of Siam delivers to his Magistrates are the• greatest marks of their dignity. Those given to Princes who discharge Magisterial duties are of gold ; the. Viceroys (Mandarins) have silver seals, and those held by the ordinary Magistrates_ are of copper or lead. None of these officers, great or low, can exercise their functions legally and publicly without the seals are in their possession. The President of a Siamese tribunal having made the Commander of the troops his enemy, the latter in revenge stole the President's seal. The poor Magistrate, forced under the misfortune to sus pend the exercise of his functions, had no means of avoid ing the punishment he was liable to receive for neglect of duty than by counterfeiting illness. Every one was deceived by this stratagem during some time ; at last, however, the people suspected a trick, and complained to the Mandarin who was Viceroy of the province. The President was called upon to explain the cause of his inactivity, confessed the strange difficulty under which he was placed by the robbery, and loss of his •seals. He communicated at the same time his suspicion with respect to the Commandant of the troops, his , most deadly enemy. The Viceroy, who had great respect for the President, gave him the following advice :—" Go," said he, " set fire to your house, and; when the Commander of the troops attends'to perform his duty in putting out the conflagration, appear, and deliver to him the box in which you kept the seals. He will he a nswerable for it. After the danger the box will be restored to you. - Open it in the presence of witnesses, and it is highly probable you will get back your seals. If he returns the box empty you may proceed against him for a criminal act. He will understand the difficulty of his situation, and never run the risk." The event turned out as the ingeni ous Viceroy had foreseen, and the Magistrate recovered his seals.--Mwurs et coutumes dcs diferens rcuples. DREADFUL ATTEMPT AT SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning the following attempt at self-destruction was com mitted by Mrs. Mary Bellamy, a gentleman's coachman's wife, residing in Burlington Mews, Old Burlington-street. It appears, from the statement of the unhappy female's husband, that she had only been confined three weeks, and in a fit of despondency, caused by some unforeseen family dispute, she committed the rash act of attempting to put a period to her existence by cutting leer throat in a shock ing manner with his razor. The tragical deed was almost immediately discovered after having been committed. Sur gical assistance was promptly procured, and the wound, which was extensive and deep, sewed up. It was recom mended for the unfortunate sufferer to be immediately con veyed to the Middlesex Hospital, which was done. On her arrival every possible surgical assistance was rendered the poor sufferer ; but to such an extent are the injuries she has committed on her person that she lies without hope of recovery. We have to discharge the painful task of recording one of those shameful outrages that disgrace humanity. On the night of the 26th of December two ruffians entered the offices attached to the residence of William Squirrell, Esq. Mount-Henry, near this town, in one of which a female servant slept, and one of the scoundrels (at least) violated her person. They came over a wall, over a shed into a yard at the back of the house, and the unfortunate girl hearing a noise got up, when she saw them in the yard as if listening, and describes one of them with remarkable accu racy. From some cause they appeared to depart, and the girl getting out of her bed, was proceeding to open tho deer of the dwelling house, when the fellows jumped again . - 9 ff th e shed, and dragging her into' her room, succeeded in their abominable prime, and left her senseless. Mr. Squir rell h as o ff ere d a reward of fifty pounds for the discovery the offenders.—lfte.tArd Freeman. Newport, in the Isle of Wight, is in a curious posi tion.

'pll'ed !tll' the provi sions 1:1?.1,f sions of the 4(4, Is in abeyance, if not actual defutiq, • (From Campbell's Letters from the Smith, in the New . Monthly Magazine for January.) Among the French from whom I have experienced civilities here, I have , particularly to thank Colonel Maret, for his efforts to procure me the best specimens of Alge rine poetry. Indifferent, I must own, are the- best ; but that is not. the fault of the gallant Colonel. He mentioned my name to Ben Omar, .the ex-Bey of Titeri, who, though no longer a prince, is one of the richest and most influential Moors at Algiers, and counts a Dey amongst his nearest ancestors. Colonel Maret brought the next day an invitation to dine with him, which was doubly gra tifying to. me as a mark of hospitality from a total stranger, ' and as a means of seeing, at least, as much of the domestic manners of the Moors as can be exhibited in a dinner from which the charm of woman's society is shut out. At six o'clock I repaired in company with the Colonel to the town-house of Ben Omar. It is situated in one of the gloomiest alleys of Algiers, but it is nobly furnished within. At the servants' lodge, or floor that enters from the ground, a nephew of our, host, a sprightly lad about thirteen, dressed so becomingly that he might have trod the stage, welcomed us both, and shook us by the hand. The negroes in the hall told us that their master had not yet arrived from the country, but might be expected every moment ; and in the mean time requested us to walk up stairs. Colonel Maret; however, who perfectly understands both the Arabic lan guage and Moorish etiquette, told me that it would be thought more polite if we were to wait for his ex-highness's arrival. The tread of his horse very soon announced his coming, and the quadruped preceded -Ben. Omer in en tering the ground-floor, through which he passed into his stable. Our host apologized in French, which he speaks very fairly, for having detained us ; he then took a candle and gave another to his chief negro, and by the light of these we marched up stairs to the Salle d Inanger. It is a room after the Moorish fashion which I have already described, with the difference of having cnly one upper side room- divided from the one below by a curtain of silk richly embroidered. The walls are hung with. an in finity of pistols, guns, scimitars, and yataglians, ornamented with gold, silver; mother-of-pearl, and ivory. The otto mans, too, low to ; be called sofas, are of rich crimson silk, well besmeared_ with gold. My attention, however, was diverted from contemplating inanimate objects by a living bit of furniture in the room ; namely, 'the younger nephew of our host, a boy about four and, a half-years old. I never saw a puerile beauty to match this indescribable cherub, with his large blue eyes and auburn hair. What is painting, what is statuary, to the living workmanship of nature? The beauty of the little infidel .made me faith less to the curiosity which I owed to the scene before me, and I could rivet my eyes only on him, whilst the ex-Bey was courteously describing his curious armoury, and showing us his Damascus blades, with minute histories -of many - persons of distinction whom they, had had the honour of decapitating. • •• The guests were Colonel Maret, two other Frenchmen, and myself. Our host placed me on an ottoman, and after _taking a few whifs of a long pipe, handed it to me moist from his own lips, as the greatest-respect that can be shown to a stranger. At last the dinner table was brought in, or rather a large round tin tray, which was placed on a slight elevation from the floor. In the midst of it was a bowl of exquisite rice soup, and each of us-having squatted himself cross-legged on a low cushion, like so many tailors, we were helped to a plateful of soup a-piece, and we fed ourselves with wooden spoons. The plates were fine English porce lain. Before each of us was placed a long napkin, which our host told me was of Smyrna cloth. Next came a large broiled fish, deliciously flavoured and stuffed with pudding ; it was sent round, and every one clutched a portion of it with his fingers and thumb. By my faith, I thought, on tasting this regale, for aught that the French can do in civilizing African cookery, they may as well stay .at home. I was so pleased with the fish that I desired to - be helped a second time from it ; whereupon the ex-Bell, with ex emplary 'politeness grasped a handful of it, and . laid - it on my plate. , Behold, my friend, what it is to move in high life, and to see the world ! Presently we had roasted fowls, flanked by some savoury dishes of vegetables, : well soused with oil; arid by and by followed couscousou. The pullets we tore asunder by strength of hand, but with ineffable deli cacy. Meanwhile my heart was yearning after the rich legumes that were floating in gravy, as golden bright as the clouds of a summer sunset. There was no spoon, and so I poured a part of the vegetables on my plate, and by the aid of a piece, of bread, and my spoonless fingers, whipped considerable portions into my mouth. For shame ! methinks you arc already exclaiming ; is this your high life, to sit pawing your food like a squirrel? Could you not have asked for a spoon ? Well, I did so when the couscousou came in ; but in the meantime I was desparately hungry. For the glorious couscousou we of Christendom were allowed spoons ; and though our words could not describe its relish, our mouths did it ample justice, without uttering a word. Since the days of my boyhood I never ate a heartier dinner : c' But pleasures are like poppies spread, We seize the flower—its bloom is fled ; Or like the snow-flakes on the river, A moment white, then gone for ever." How limited is all human felicity ! In twenty minutes j found that my appetite was playing the false, and that I was tasting the subsequent dishes of the feast rather out of courtesy than inclination. Ben Omar, who was attentive to us all, but particularly to his English guest, pressed me frequently. I asked him if it was a custom in the better society of this country to press the stranger to his food ? " Not at all," he said, " but I only 'recommend our ragouts to you, as the pride of our cuiSine. You are rather a poor eater," he added, " or you don't like my dinner ?" " A poor eater !" I replied, " My excellent host, I have that within me which assures my conscience of .having done ample justice to your hospitality." All this time, nevertheless, I was conscious of making but a miserable figure as an eater by the side ,of the other Christian conv i ves . Th ere was Colonel Maret, a bold dragoon, six feet some inches high, who might stand for the picture of Sir William Wallace. But there were two skinny Frenchmen who beat even him all to nothing at the board of nourishment. The stomachs of Pharaoh's lean kine seemed to have transmigrated into their bodies, and to have pressed them to the twentieth dish that ivent round would have been a work of supererogation. The desert was of a piece with the dinner, presenting a vast variety of fruits, both fresh and confected. We had now spoons of tortoiseshell, with handles made either entirely of sea-horse tooth or of ivory, with amber tops. The porcelain was very rich, and Ben Omar told me, to my surprise, that it 'came, like the dinner plates, all from England. After washing our hands, we had pipes and coffee, with silver-wire wine cups supporting the English ones. We sat conversing till ten o'clock. I need not tell you that we had no wine, either at or after dinner and the want of that comfort, you know, is apt to dispose an Eng lish mind to pensiveness after a hearty meal. I thought of Philoctetes in the desert island, when the Chorus laments that the genial wine cup is never raised to his lips. I re gretted in my heart that so perfect a gentleman as Ben Omar should live in a state of Mahometan delusion ; and recalling to mind the pious clergymen of Scotland ; I ac knowledged how justly they had denounced that Arch im poster, Malicnnet. Colonel Maret and our host maintained an animated conversation ; but I found the same fault with it that the Athenians alleged against one of their dramas, that it was osisv r age Atovvrrov—Li. e. had nothing to do with Bacchus. By and by a thought touched and tickled my fancy. 'Were I to give a hint for a drop of " the liquid ruby," and were our host to grant it, what a triumph over the infidels would it be—far beyond that of the Crusaders, who only poured out their blood—if I could make them shed their wine ? But by .this time I fear your delicacy may again be taking alarm, and soli loquizing thus :—" What, ask for wine under the roof of a hospitable Mussulman !"—Oh, no ; I did not ask, I only hinted ; and so distantly, that the hint would 'not reach. My motive, I also assure you, was not so much the love of wine, as the indulgence of a ii":;ar thought. I turned the conversation to the sulnees oArabic litera ture, not that I cared half a strew at that moment about Arabic literature, but b !cP . ".. it gave me an opportunity of asking about soma !songs in the poetry of the Mussulmans which extol- the joys of wine. I also quoted a verse of the Koran, promising wine in golden cups to the blest in Paradise. " I never heard of such a text," said Ben Omar ; and I ruttier believe he never had ; for I had taken the liberty ----;u4lg it on the spot. Mine host, I scarcely believe, suspected my drift. Ben Omar had been a wealthy merchant before his ap pointinent by General Clausel to be Bcy of Titeri, one of the'four grand divisions of the Regency. Ile has travelled through - Italy and France ; and at Paris he received the cross of the Legiou of Honour, in reward of his services to the Fres4 ; Idle is about forty.seven.

Not - a skate has been exercised yet in this quarter, and the fa mous Lochiel could scarcely have eulleated as much snow as would have served for his luxuricau, pillow. The year is, no doubt, fast. drawing to a close s yet it gives no symptoms of its speedy exit. We speak-, 'however, only as denizens of the town. In the higher districts of the country we know that there have hem. some stormy blasts, and that the sheep-farmer has - felt tl,leir severity. On Sunday there was a furious tempest of wind and rain, which continued all night and the gre:dter part of Monday. We have heard of no accident,,. Jut it must have raged fearfully at sea. The weather Is now soft and dull, such as we should ex pect about. October, with no indications of a " feeding snow storm" or of " thick-ribbed ice," So far, Christmas has been favourable -for the poor,. who canill bear the pelt ing blasts of winter ; yet it is questionable whether, at this time, clear frosty weather,. which braces the nerves and purifies the atmosphere, Would not be more wholesome and invigorating to the whole system of nature. " A green Yule (or Christmas) makes a fat-churchyard," says the old proverb, and it has been observed here that the weak and the aged are dying thick around us, while the increased .number. of funerals is .but too apparent at the present sea son.—lnvemess Courier. TWELFTH NIGHT FESTIVITIES.—SO early as the reign of Alf re d th e G reat a l aw was ma d e relative I to holi days, which ordained the twelve days after the nativity to be kept as festivals. Bourne, in his " Antiquitates Vulga res,"which Brand republished under the title of " Popular Antiquities'," iustly remarks that this is the greatest of the twelve holidays, and is, therefore, more jovially com memorated by the • visiting of friends and Christmas gam bols than any other.. Confectionary was anciently em ployed in all solemn feasts with great profuseness. After each course were subtilties, which were representatives of castles, giants, saints, knights, ladies, and beasts, all raised in pastry, upon which legends • and coat armour were painted in their proper colours. - Fabian, the chronicler, describing the festival at the coronation of King Henry the Sixth, in •1429, says there was a subtilty of St. Edward and St. Lewis, armed, and upon either his - coat armour, holding between them a figure of King Henry standing, and an, inscription passing from both, saying " Behold . twoe perfect Kynges under one coat-armour." As, all :the various cu s t oms o f different countries on this day concur in the common object of commemorating the visit of the three wise men, or the Kings, to the birth place of Christ, a King is some way or other always a consPicuous person in the entertainments which take place. At Court, in the reign of Edward the Third, the title of King . was given by Ale Sovereign, on the vigil of Epiphany, to one of his minstrels, and we find it recorded that sixty shillings were given to Regan, the trumpeter, and his associates in the name of the King of the Bean. Some persons derive the custom frOm .the • ceremony ob served by the Roman children of drawing lots with beans after the saturnalia. In France, previously to the revo lution, this mode of celebrating Twelfth Day Monarch prevailed at Court as well as among the people in general. At the former, one of the Nobles was chosen King, and, at the entertainment which 'followed, the Twelfth Night Monarch was attended by the King and the courtiers. Among the people the person who obtained the first slice of cake was King, and reigned throughout the evening. The first act was to dub some one of the company the fool of the evening, whose business was "to keep the table in a roar" by his verbal and practical jokes. No one drank till the King set the example, for which every one was on the watch, and when he placed, the cup to his lips, the place was in an uproar with huz zas, Laughter, and shouts of " the King drinks." EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—We understand that the whole of the capital required by the Company formed for carrying a railroad between these two important cities has several weeks since been subscribed for, and . the deposit money of four per cent. thereon has been all paid. This Company stand pledged to select the best line for the interest of the public and the subscribers, and to ' secure this they have engaged several. of the most eminent English railway engineers. Mr. Locke, the engi neer of the Grand Junction Railway, has been already on the ground, and this week Messrs. itastrick, Vignoles, and. Leather are to proceed with the surveys. Several lines of railways have been projected by Scotch engineers between the two cities, among Which . there is ene surveyed. by Messrs. Robert Stevenson and Son, of Edinburgh, which has been brought before the .public, accompanied with a prospectus for the establishment of a second Company. The plans of these several lines are to be put by the Company, already formed into the hands of the English engineers abo v e mentioned, but there is a strong expectation that a be+,ter line will be found . than any that has yet been surveyed. With this view, and in order, to facilitate these operations, levels of different parts of the country not previwasly sur veyed have been obtained. The line most advantageous for all parties \sill thus be immediately ascertained by the engineers, and adopted by the Company. - On Monday night, the 21st ult., about half-Dast niiie o'clock, a bean-stack and barn at Little Tarpets E s n . .rm, situate by the road side, in Thundersley parish, Essex, in the occupation of Mr. Thorne, were discovered on fire al most at the same instant. The conilartration was first ob served from the rectory, by the Rev.!. D.

Mr. Lloyd proceeded to tir'e outbuildings, and. drove the horses and cows into the 'road. By this time farther .assistance arrived. The rP g ing. clement rapidly communicated to a stack of oats P:od another of straw, both of which; with the barn and. )- jean stack, were totally con sumed.
