BY .IEDICUS ;CONTINCED FROM OUR LAST. 18. The' body must be put into the best possible con- A warm bath will be of service here, by cleansing ,he surface of the body and opening the pores of the skin, so as to allow more freely of that transpiration which is always insensibly going forward ; that which we call perspiration being only the condensation of the former, so as to rend- visible that which in its natural form is invisible, rising as steam from the surface of the body. A gentle dose of medicine will be also beneficial, (as likewise before a sea voyage, diminishing greatly the sickness, though this fact is unfortunately little known,) along with which full diet should be reduced down to something lighter, and suitable for easy digestion. 19. The'feet have the chief burthen - to sustain of this manly exercise, and, in order that they may discharge with satisfaction their incessant task, will require the most special attention and care. The condition of the %ails. existence of corns or bunions, Rcn , 0hn,,1,1 not be overlooked: as they are to undergo prolonged pressure by the upper leather of the shoes, any neglected state of these at starting may soon produce a discomfort and pain that might prove the most serious drawback to the ease and pleasure of the trip. If, by undue length or improper mode of trimming, the nails have any tendency given to them of growing into the flesh, inflammation, with acute pain and consequent disability from walking, will ensue. 20. Corns• may be generally rendered easy by bathing , cutting them down carefully-; lastly, soap the cut surface a little, take a bit of common lunar caustic, and gently touch the soaped and cut surface of the corn once or twice ; after a little time, wipe off the soap, and apply a small bit of diachylon plaister, spread either on leather or linen—some cut a hole in the centre of their plaisters ; in a •few hours the tenderness so common will have sub .sided, and the cut surface, where touched by the caustic, wil have a brown or blackish look, when the poessure of the shoe can be comparatively well borne. Mind not to apply the caustic beyond the hard horny spot, or you may Make a sore where it touches the sound skin flamed state of things over the large joint of the great toe which is called a blinnion,t wet it, soap it, and draw gently the caustic over it, so as to touch each part of the surface once. This process, from the caution here enjoined, may require in non-medical hands a repetition two or three times even before a full relief is obtained ; however, this is better than, by overdoing it at first, to irri tate theinfiamed part. In a day or two there willbe amarked diminution of the pain and swelling. The bunnion is great toe, and often inflames from.increased walkin and, from the bending of the joint at every step, painful pressure is made on the inflamed and cushiony cluster of art of setting down and raising the foot on the ground. 22. .Chilblains must not be passed over, though this is not the place to ,enter upon any scientific statement or curative details, other than a very simple allusion to their cause and cure. Damp and cold, conjoined with a constitutional aptitude, as languid circulation, &c., ar , the remote and near causation ; extremes of tc -ti- mpera suddenly experienced, spirituous potations, and sedentary habits, increase greatly the tendency to such. The feet should be kept dry, and of an uniform temperature. The subjoined quotation is so much to the point, that it ought not here to be omitted, from an author from whose work several of these early hints are culled :—" Sportsmen, therefore, in snipe or grouse shooting on the moors, may always avoid them (chilblains) by a careful attention to the dryness of their feet, both during the period of their day's sport and after their return ; but let them remem ber that the feet, if damped only by perspiration, are as )1 . a horny developement of the outer or scarf inguage epidermis—arising from united pressure , car, nn an irritation in the spot (being a law of a bard tubercle with a crown and roux. as It, IS 11.11p1,pc1 1, GN• I, the crown or head is flat and rough unless polished by against the shoe—the stem is conizal, horny, and pointed, ay be two or three stems—the points of which piercing down quite through the true under-skin, and sometimes rabbi there towards or penetrating the capsull of ajoint when seated over such, cause the well known exquisite pain by irritating the delicate expansion of nervous fibrils with wich the skin &c. in every part of the body is beautifully supplied. They are chiefly classed into hard and soft. The latter being of the same structur e a s th e f ormer , only from being situate in a part where they are kapt moist hresent their cha racteristic softness and marceration of crown,in fact; the hard corn is most commonly on the outside of the little toe, where the principal pressure with friction of the shoe cccurs. The sides of the nails, the sole, and the heel, are obnoxious . also to these pest s o f th e f ee t. From what has been stated it will be evident that to cut off the head of the corn is only a temporary relief, and not a radical cure—this is only accomplished by cautiously digging out the tail or stem, wsich may be seen with a magnifier, and which any steady handed person may do for themselves by the folowing method, which can be only very briefly described in this already prolonged but useful note :—put a drop of oil on the corn (where soaking in hot water and rubbing with a rough towel or the finger nail will . not remove it— only practicable in an infant corn)—with a pen knife cut away a little of the head, if very large and protuberant—then cut cautiously round it so as to loosen it by degrees out of its bed, and thus to clear the stem at last by means of grubbing round it as you would do in ng out apiece ofstickfrozen in the ice—a sharp pointed bodkin accessible instrument to the generality of people, though an r the lancet pointed quadrille of the chiropo delicately and dexterously employed the point t at, when it may be forced up, lifting at the ,y the fingers, or far better a small pair of ~.,_zers—thus with care and without pain may t literally and figuratively is, he removed.

Care must, therefore, always be taken to dry the feet oa return from shooting, before any refreshment is taken, and most especially before the feet are placed near a fire."l. It is better to walk up and down a room after drying wet feet or cold feet, than to put them before the grate to be toasted. Gentle friction with flesh brush, horse-hair scrubbing brush, and the use of such stimulating applications as brandy, whiskey, turpentine, can de Cologne, campho rated spirits of wine, &c., will often dismiss the promise of " itchy chilblains." if inflamed and very tender, cooling lotions will be best. A little acetate of lead solution (sugar of lead) in rose-water, or equal parts of acetate of ammonia solution and rose-water, or common water, or brandy or vinegar and water, or rubbing with snow in winter, may be resorted to. Enveloping the part in oiled silk will be of great service and comfort after the employment of foregoing. The progress of a chilbhain, if not discussed early, is to form a blister, which bursts, and developes a troublesome, sluggish ulcer, that, in addition to soothing and digestive appli cations, often calls for constitutional remedies, which must be here left as belonging to the province of the family medical attendant ; only, every pedestrian should know the outline of those common annoyances, which may, at any period of his rambles, bring him up for a day or two's rest at some little country inn, where physic is not likely to be the first-rate qualification of the gude wife, and yet it may be that no other " medical skill " is is within reach. 23. The nails are generally quiet in their behaviour, or, at least, may be kept so by the scissors ; however, a word need not be despised hereupon. If they are suf fered to grow too long, they have in the foot an especial tendency to grow downwards and inwards or backwards, often causing serious discomfort, either by " growing into the flesh" at the sides, or by the pressure made upon them by the upper leather of the shoe. On the other hand, if too short, they do not defend the pulpy extremities of the toes, the exquisite endowment of which, with a minute nervous network for maintaining great sensibility there, whereby danger may be warned to the body, would be diminished : both too long and too short may interfere with the firmness of the step by im peding that due expansion of the toes, whereby the base of the locomotive pivots extended is for further security. The best mode of trimming them is by cutting them off square, and not too short, lest the bed of the nail should be injured. It is stated that hard walking" has actually had the effect of forcing off the nails of the great toe, attended by loss of blood from rupture of small vessels connected with the epidermis" ! Nails will grow again oes happen xtreme cold wi where t'iis ever them to drop offtoo, as every one knows, being then " frost bitten." lf, by the pressure of a shoe too short in long walking, the corner of the nail (generally the great toe) has been forced into the flesh, and become very painful, cutting out such corner is not always the best plan, but, with a piece of glass or knife edge, to scrape thin the convex portion or back of the nail, from root to free the edge. This will draw out the offending part, by the middle of the nail having been thus artificially weakened, so as to let the sides collapse nearer to each other. If the nails are split or cracked, or injured by any accident, fold them round with plaister, to defend them. 24. There is such a thing as "riding" of the toes, as it is called. This is where one toe bends over its neigh bour, and is very prejudicial to good or long walking. Such requires proper surgical advice and treatment, unless where it is only beginning, and will submit to being kept in its place by a ribbon interlaced amongst the toes, so as to bind all in their places. 25. Sometimes the nails will hook round towards the next, and this is not uncommon to a partial extent. It is a source of much annoyance to the pedestrian,§ and is to be remedied very differently from the way which he would naturally adopt, viz., cutting away the hooking part ; but he must cut often the opposite side, on the plan of "flogging the willing horse." He will say, Posibly very true ; but how, he will inquire, does it so happen so ? It is replied, Because the more a nail (or the hair) is cut, the faster it grows • and thus the hooking tendency is counterbal ance d. The science of medicine is not without its analogous facts of a far more striking cha racter.ll The shoes must be neither tight over the toes nor short in the length. 26. Immoderate'Perspiration will be the lot of some few readers of these " Hints." This is an annoying condition of the feet, though not unhealthy in itself, whilst the odour is so disgusting where it is excessive. It is needless to say that extreme cleanliness and neat ness is here of moral obligation and medical utility. Let such avoid the.fi►Uy of attempting to check it, unless they desire to pay the penalty of injured health thereby. Let black stockings be avoided, for the dye increases the disagreeable smell. Woollen should be always worn. The feet should be very rarely washed, but wiped occa sionally with a moist, often with a dry, towel. Socks should be often changed. 27. " As it often happens during the day that the healthiest feet are affected with a redundant perspira tion," remarks the author of the " Art of Preserving the Feet," " which feels inconvenient as the body cools, it is always proper, as soon as exercise ceases, to change butA. .tocAtogs and shoes, drying the feet hastily with a proper towel, and using, at pleasure, the spirituous sponge." By giving attention to these, and the follow ing quotation from an experienced military officer, Col. Shaw,if the feet will be best provided to cape against flinty roads and long exertion. The Colonel remarks— " The great difficulty in walking is to keep the feet in good order. This can be done if a little attention he paid at the first. For some days before starting, dip your feet in hot water as often as possible for a few moments; then rub them quite dry. Let this be done morning and evening, till you find the feet quite free from a damp feeling. Provide yourself with a good-sized tin box, full of the best yellow, or, as it is called in some places, soft soap. It has something the appearance of honey in the comb. Before start ing in the morning, rub the soles of the feet, especi ally about the heels and toes, well with the soap, until it has the appearance of a good lather for shaving ; and then put your woollen stockings on. Let this be done every morning before starting, and you will find, even in the hottest or wettest weather, you will be able to do a great deal of work, and at the end of the day find your feet cool and free from blisters. Instead of washing the feet at the end of a journey, rub them first with a damp cloth, and then dry them completely. In some places on the Continent it is not possible to get this soap ; but in almost every apothe cary's shop you can purchase stag fat, which does very well : if you cannot get stag fat, buy goose fat or hog's lard. With these fats I first rubbed the feet with spirits, which is an improvement ; but nothing will stand comparison with yellow soap. Have your e stockings wasV. i ft— - -I if +hey aect as otten as possible ; anc. ti , nave not time to dry during the night, they can be easily buckled on the outside of the knapsack. By attending to these directions, and by instantly rubhinr dry, and putting on fresh flannels and linen at the end of your day's work, and eating as much animal food as possible, yet drinking no more than is necessary, both body and feet will get into the highest possible condition." 28. Caulions.—Those who have not a high instep, in other words a good arch, to the foot, will not be able to walk so long and so far as those who are gifted with a well-turned arch of their foot. The flat foot, or splay foot, does not receive the shock of the weight and force of the body in progression as favour 'lvas t' - -bed `" . Iv, the ie proper arc. . foot' , and, consequent!, structure of this foot sooner feels a sense of weariness and lakes on inflammation. In the foot regiments a well: formed man in other respects would be rejected if he have a very flat foot. Avoid getting damp feet, and remaining long so, Avoid the habit of puttin o warmth. them on the fender for Avoid opening a Mist , particularly before the end of your journey. It is painful at the time, and the foot gets sore afterwards. Get a needleful of silk ; the two ends together ; next morning cut off both ends with the scissors, leaving the silk i n th e now fl attene d blister undisturbed.

Cadell ; Edinburgh • Philip; South Castle-street Volume IV of this noble edition of our great novelist commences with "The Bride of Lammermoor ; " and it will be gratifying to the subscribers to observe that, in every respect, this part is equal to those which have preceded it. The steel engraving represents " Fast Castle, Berwickshire," and is a very beautiful specimen of drawing as well as of engraving. The wood illustra tions are all of a high order ; but one in particular is quite a gem. The subject is " Dick Tinto and the author of the Bride of Lammermoor; or, we may as well say, the author of Waverley, for his is the portraiture which is presented to us, more life-like and spirited than any of the more pretending likenesses which we possess in such abundance. The painter is Lauder; and it is admirably cut by T. Williams. " Dick Tinto and the Sign Painter" is a scarcely less perfect production. Lancaster Castle, its History, and Associations. By J. Hall. Whittaker, London : Taylor, Liverpool. The object of this pamphlet is to supply all the infor mation which can be obtained relative to Lancaster Castle and its associations. Much interesting anu matter connected with the history of the place has been gathered by the author, and many curious circumstances are narrated connected with the unfortunate inmates. It appears that annually a mock election takes place, amongst those confined as debtors for the representation of the SELECTIONS. No VARIETY IN ENGLISH DRINKS.—The drinks ain't good here ; they hante no variety in them neither ; no white-nose, apple-jack, stone-wall, chain-lightning, rail road, hail stortnginsling-calabogus, switchelflip, gum ticklers, pheltn-cutters, juleps, skate-iron, cast-steel, cock-tail, or nothin', but that heavy stupid black fat porter.— The Attach 6; or, Sam Slick in England. TORIES, WHIGS, AND RADICALS.—" He said he could tell a man's politics by his shirt. ' A Tory, Sir,' said he, for he was a pompious old boy was old Blue-Nose; a Tory, Sir,' said he, ' is a gentleman every inch of him, stock, lock, and barrel ; and he puts a clean frill shirt on every day. A Whig, Sir,' says he, 'is a gentleman every inch of him, and he puts an unfrilled on e on ever y o th er day. A Radical, Sir, ain't no gentleman at all, and he only puts one on of a Sunday. But a Chartist, Sir, is a loafer ; he never puts one on till the old one won't hold together no longer, and drops off in pieces.' "—Sam Slick in England. FASHIONABLE COOKERY.—VeaI, to be good, must look like anything else but veal; you mustn't know it when you see it, or it's vulgar; mutton must be incog., too; beef must have a mask on ; any thin' that looks solid, take a spoon to; any thin' that looks light, cut with a knife • if a thin' looks like fish, you may take your o a th it is flesh ; and if it seems rael lesh, it's only disguised, for it's sure to be fish ; nothin' must be nateral ; natur is out of fashion here. This is a manufacturin' country ; everything is done by machinery, and that that ain't must be made to look like it ; and I must say, the dinner machinery is parfect.—The Attache; or, Sam Slick in England. GARRICK'S OTHELLo.—Detelmined to judge for him self in regard to the merits of Garrick's acting, Quin, on the night on which his rival was announced to perform Othello, secured himself a place in the pit of the rival theatre. About this period had been published Hogarth's famous prints of " Marriage a la Mode," in one of which it will be remembered, is introduced a negro footboy en tering the aparment with a tea equipage. To the quick fancy of Quin (naturally on the watch to turn his rival into ridicule), it may really be imagined that there appear ed a ludicrous similarity between the appearance of the footboy and the blackened face and diminutive figure of Garrick. Accordingly, when the latter made his re-ap pearance in the third or fourth act, Quin suddenly exclaim ed, loud enough to afford amusement to half the pit— " Here is Pompey, but where are the tea-things?"— George Selwyn and his Cotemporaries. AN OLD MAN'S REMINISCENCES.—" I have seen and remember so much, that my life already appears very long ; nay, the first part seems to have been a former life, so entirely are the persons worn out who were on the stage when I came into the world. You must consider, as my father was minister then, that I almost came into the world at three years old. I was ten when I was presented to George I. two nights before he left England for the last time. This makes me appear very old to myself, and Methuselah to young persons, if I happen to mention it before them. If I see another reign, which is but too probable, what shall I seem then ? I will tell you an odd circumstance. Nearly ten years ago I had already seen six generations in one family, that of Waldegrave. I have often seen, and once been in a room with, Mrs. Godfrey, mistress of James II: It is true she doted ; then came her daughter, the old Lady Waldegrave ; her son, the Ambassador; his daughter, Lady Harriet ; her daughter, the present Lady Powis ; and she has children who may be married in five or six years; and yet I shall not he very old, if I see two generations more! but if I o, I shall be superannuated, for I think I talk already C D n old nurse."—Letters of Horace IT a/pole. ancient borough of John O'Gaunt. "On this occasion," says Mr. Hall, " the business is carried on with equally as much spirit and opposition as any election in the country. Deputations wait on individuals most likely to become candidates ; committee meetings take place ; ban ners are suspended from the windows of the various rooms ; in short, every preliminary relative to an election is gone through. 'Hustings are erected purposely in the yard ' • , and some days previous to the nomination, the'Castle pump, which stands in the centre of the yard, is plenti fully bedecked with addresses, squibs, &c., Some of the addresses, we are told, are written with talent of the highest order, and would do honour to an occasion of the sort under any circumstance, in any borough or county in the kingdom. _ _ In the instance of nomination, speeches of an hour's duration are not unfrequently made by the respective can didates to parliamentary honours for this very ancient bo rough ; these speeches, often most eloquently delivered, are listened to by the constituency with all the gravity or derision becoming the occasion. Questions are put to the candidates in the usual form ; the answers to which are greeted, as the case may be, either with cheers or groans. We are told the hustings, on the day of election, pre sent a very animated appearance. There may be seen the returning officer, town-clerk, poll-clerks, proposers and seconders ; reporters, com mittee-men, together with a host of friends and admirers of the various candidates ; in some instances, the latter amount to half a score ; indeed there has been known a dozen candidates. On the last election there were four ; two conservatives, and two holding liberal principles. We are informed the conservatives were returned in 1842, as is generally the case ; and, from what we can learn, liberals have in no instance had the honour of a majority of tire suffrages of the constituency of the borough of John O'Gaunt. . The day of election is one of much bustle and anima tion ; even bribery is very frequent ; the value or amount being generally from half a gallon of ale to a leg of mutton ; the latter bribe being most in vogue. This day is generally carried on with so much spirit, that it is not unfrequently found necessary, for the better preservation of the peace of the borough, to adjourn the poll. This occurred at the last election, when the poll was adjourned two hours. To such a height is party spirit carried, that the excellent governor of the castle permits the various officers on the debtors' side of the gaol to vote, when the numbers are nearly even.

Standard-office, Three o'clock COTTON MARKET-THIS DAY. A fair enquiry for Cotton to-day, and about 2000 bales have been sold, all to the trade ; speculators are " on the look out," but don't find Cotton to their mind ; though the market is quiet, there is a very firm and steady feeling pervading it. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY. <From Messrs. R. Makin & Sons' Circular.) The arrivalshere during the week consist of 3,105 qrs. of Wheat, a moderate quantity of Malt, Beans, and Flour, oastwise and from Ireland, with a very limited supply of ;ther articles thence ; the fresh imports from abroad com ,, wising merely 1103 qrs. of Pease, 60 sacks Oatmeal and 4963 Barrels of Flour from Canada. The last week closed with heavy rain and cold wind, followed by showers early on Sunday, since when the weather has been more favourable, and to-day it is fine and warm with a promising appearance; which, notwith standing the general rise in prices throughout the country, and the further advance in London yesterday, has pro duced a decided check to all active proceedings in Whea, at this day's market, and although very prime qualitie of foreign rather exceeded the rates of Friday, other descriptions hardly maintained the advance then stated and with more desire on the part of holders to effect sales, the trade for this grain concluded heavily. Flour was also taken off sparingly, and barely suppod ted the improved terms noted in our report of Friday. Barley, of which there is still very little here was fully as dear as last week. Malt realized a slight amendment in price; and Beans as well as Pease remained steady. ARRIVALS OF CORN. From the 18th to the 24th July, 1843, inclusive, DESCRIPTIONS.

TOE LIVERPOOL STANDARD BARGAINING.—The habit of making what are called " cheap bargains," don not appear to me worthy of being classed under this head; because the principle of economy would inspire a wish to pay an equitable and fair price for a good article, rather than a low price for a poor one ; and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, articles offered for sate as being remarkably cheap, are of very inferior qual ity. But, above all things to be guarded aga i ns t i n ma king bargains, is that of taking advantage of the poor. It is a cruel system carried on by the world, and one against which woman with her boasted kindness of heart, ought especially to set her face—that of first ascertaining the position, or degree, of necessity of the party we deal with, and then offering a price accordingly. Yet, how often do we hear the expression—" I get it done so well, and so cheaply ; for, poor things, they are in such distress, they are glad to do it any price 1" And a pitiful sight it is to see the plain work, and tine work too, that is done upon such terms. A pitiful thinz it is to think of the number of hours which must have been spent, perhaps in the endurance of hunger and cold, before the scanty pit tance was earned; and to compare this with the golden sums so willingly expended at some fashionable miliner's, where, because the lady of the house is not in want, the kind purchaser would be sorry to insult her feelings by offering less.—Mrs. Ellis's Wives of England. EMPLOYMENT OF ELEPHANTS IN WARFARE.—To render the elephants more terrible in battle, they were not only partially covered with red cloth—a colour which was supposed to excite their rage; but the forehead, and more particularly the ears, which the animal raised and flapped in his passion, were also painted either white, blue, or red,--the latter colour more particularly, as being more terrific, as well as for the reason just given. Plumes of feathers, small flags, and bells were attached, both to raise the fury of the animal and to inspire the enemy with greater fear. Sometimes they were covered with plates of steel to protect them from missiles and from sword Flits. Those on the medals which were struck by Cresar in consequence of his victory at Thapsus, are thus de picted, as are those also on the medals of the Julian family. The tusks, too, were commonly tipped with steel ; while the breast plates with which the elephants were protected, were furnished with long sharp projections, to render the charge upon the opposing troops more effectual and deadly. To the trunks of some, swords and scimitars were ad pted, which the animal had been taught to use with considerable address : the Sultan Acbar is said to have had many of these sword-bearing elephants in his army. To increase its violence to the greatest possible degree, or rather perhaps to overcome its natural timidity,—for notwithstanding its use in warfare, the elephant, as we have before observed, is a timid animal, —intoxicating drinks or stimulating drugs were given to excite its fury in the day of battle. In India a fermented liquor extracted from rice was employed for this purpose; in Ceylon, opium was used ; and in Europe, wine in which spices and aromatic herbs had been infused. "And to the end that they might provoke the elephants to fight, they shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberries." —1 Maccabees, ch. 6, ver. 34.—Foreign and Colonial Quarterly Review. A SCENE OF HORROR.—I went with two soldiers of the 18th down a street to the right, to a large house, which I concluded belonged to a Tartar of consequence : we burst the door open and entered. Never shall I forget the sight of misery that there met our view. After we had forced our way over piles of furniture, placed to bar ricade the door, we entered an open court strewed with rich stuffs and covered with clotted blood ; and upon the steps leading to the " hall of ancestors" there were two bodies of youthful Tartars, cold and stiff, much alike, ap parently brothers. Having gained the threshold of their abode, they had died where they had fallen, from the loss of blood. Stepping over these bodies, we entered the ball, and met, face to face, three women seated, a mother and two daughters ; and at their feet lay two bodies of elderly men, with their throats cut from ear to ear, their senseless heads resting upon the feet of their relations. To the right were two young girls, beautiful and delicate, crouching over, and endeavouring to conceal, a living sol dier. I stopped, horror-struck at what I saw. I must have betrayed my feelings by my countenance, as I stood spell-bound to the spot. The expression of cold unutter able despair depicted on the mother's face changed to the violent workings of scorn and hate, which at last burst forth in a paroxysm of invective, afterwards in floods of tears, which apparently, if anything could, relieved her. She came close to me, and seized me by the arm, and with clenched teeth and depdly frown pointed to the bodies— to her daughters —to her yet splendid house, and to her self; then stepped back a pace, and with firmly-closed hands, and in a hoarse and husky voice, I could see by her gestures spoke of her misery —of her hate, and, I doubt not, of revenge. It was a scene that none could bear long; consolation was useless; expostulation from me vain. I attempted by signs to explain, offered her my services, but was spurned. I endeavoured to make her comprehend that, however great her present misery, it might be in her unprotected state a hundred fold in creased ; that if she would place herself under my guidance, I would pass her through the city gates in safety into the open country, where, doubtless, she would meet many of the fugitives; but the poor woman would not listen to me ; the whole family were by this time in loud lamentation ; so all that remained for me to do was to prevent the soldiers bayoneting the man, who, since our entrance, had attempted to escape.—Closing events in China. Loss OF MAJOR BOYD'S AND CAPTAIN ANDERSON'S CHILDREN IN THE RETREAT FROM CABOOL.—It was about this period of our melancholy adventures that Major Boyd and Captain Anderson heard of the loss of their children ; the major's youngest, a boy, and the captain's eldest, a girl. These poor babes (for so they may be called—the eldest was not five years old) had been placed in camel-panniers; the boy with his mother, Mrs. Boyd, on one side; and the girl, under charge of Mrs. Main waring, on the other. Mrs. Mainwaring, notwithstanding she had an infant of her own in her arms, generously vo lunteered the charitable office, seeing that Mrs. Anderson had two other children to take care of, the youngest scarcely a week old. The above little party were all on the same camel in the middle of the pass ; the beast was shot, and lay down, leaving its helpless freight a stationary mark for the bullets of the Affghans. Shortly a Hin doostanee sowar took Mrs. Boyd on his horse, and car ried her safe through the pass. The other lady, the kind hearted Mrs. Mainwaring, was nearly sharing a more wretched fate; she had just contrived to dismount with her own infant from the fallen camel, when an Affghan horseman rode up to her, and threatening her with his sword, desired her to give him the shawl with which she was clothed ; while she was urging some vain remon strance, a grenadier sepoy of the 54th contrived to force his way to her rescue ; which he effected by discharging the contents of his musket into the body of the Affghan. Leaving little Boyd and Anderson to their fate, he then gave his arm to his fair protege, and with the gallantry of a cavalier of olden time, supported her failing steps to near the exit from the pass; here, poor fellow! he was fated to end his career, and he fell by a bullet from one of the stone breastworks. It now became the chance of a spirited young fellow, a private in the 44th, to afford aid, which he did by giving one arm to the lady's assistance, and bearing in the other the infant she had herself until now carried. Thus, as evening was closing in, did this little party reach the halting-ground. A weak and deli cate woman, used to all the comforts and luxuries of ci vilised life, having walked a distance of five or six miles, the whole way through snow more than ankle-deep ; in many places sinking to the knees through the thin coating of ice that covered the stream flowing through the pass ; forcing her way through the shoals of camp followers, all equally eager to get clear of the mouth of the pass, (to so many, in truth, the jaws of death,) and for more than half the distance carrying in her arms a child of ten weeks old. Still, hers was a happy case compared to that of others ; she had surmounted her difficulties, and could press her infant to her bosom. But how was it with Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Anderson? They had now to learn, that in the confusion and hurry of saving the ladies, their children had been left to the tender mercies of the ruth less Affghans. Who could guess what would be the fate of these poor babes ! Happy, surely, would their parents have been, could they have been assured that the sword had ended their miseries : but to fancy them living to be come the slaves of Affghans ! Who shall venture to de pict their anguish ?-7 he English Captives at Cabool, in Bentley's Miscellany for July. VARIETIES.

A thick and impenetrable veil has again fallen between us and futurity. The hand that was enabled to raise this veil is dead. Mdlle.- Lenormand has been removed from her practice in the occult sciences by the hand of death. The death of this celebrated woman cannot fail to pro duce a great sensation in a al orld where she had a very extensive chenille amongst the very first classes of soci ety. Established on the most solid bases, accredited by extraordinary success, and patronised by the most famous names of our age, the vogue of this modern sibyl main tained itself during 50 years in the midst of revolutions and vicissitudes of every kind, coming triumphantly out of every trial, braving doubts, scepticism, railleries, and instilling mysterious convictions into the most rebellious minds. From the earliest age Mdlle. Lenormand was put in communication with heavenly bodies; she was only seven years of age when she felt herself suddenly endued with this supernatural intelligence. Her de'but in the art of divination took place in the convent of the Benedictines, where she learnt her first catechism. The youthful scho lar predicted that the head of the convent would be soon discharged. She was put en penitence for this prediction, but it turned out to be a true one. She followed her pre diction up by pointing out the name, the age, the titles and history of the individual who would succeed to the office. Several candidates came forward for the situation, but the successful one fully agreed with the description givzn by the youthful prophetess. There was in this success an evident opening to future fame which was not to be neglected, and, on leaving the convent, Mdlle. Lenormand set herself up as a fortune teller. The moment was favourable to such a wild and romantic plan ; agitation and disorder reigned abroad, the future was veiled in clouds, there was nothing but dark ness in the horizon, and the sibyl was welcomed in the midst of such gloomy uncertainty and formidable enigmas. Hers was, alas ! but a sad privilege, to be enabled thus to read the book of fate. What scenes of blood did it not reveal to her ! and the cards often fell from her hands whilst reading the horrors which they foretold to her pro phetic mind. After the people of the court, who for some time com posed the majority of her customers, the cave of the sibyl was visited by the ferocious Montagnards. They had been informed that the Romans had been in the habit of con- LtheenoGrrmaaeenidti,cothne soe stow consulted t :luiquite o n a the p ar citizen with th con sulting soothsayers ; they had h ear d o f th e s ib y l of Climes ; s a i l d d e r t e h d o s t e ew m h Scipios, and the Brutuses of that day. At a late hour one evening three men presented them selves at her house, and smilingly told her that they came for the purpose of learning their tuture destinies. She took their hands in hers and recoiled with horror. " Do not be alarmed," said the younger of the three, "speak unreservedly' our minds are strong, and what ever you may have to reveal to us, we shall hear it with out dread." Not being able to conquer her emotion the sibyl con tinued to turn over her cards, and could not find courage enough to deliver her oracle. At length, however, she yielded to their encouraging worth, and her three visitors received with shouts of laughter the sinister fate she pro nounced to be reserved for them ; and their gaiety was not cowed even when they heard themselves doomed to meet a tragical end. _ " It is clear," said they to each other, on leaving the place, " that the oracle is deceived ; if the revolution de stroys us, we shall all fall on the same day, on the same hour, and in the same place." " That is true, replied one of them, " and that woman knew not what she was talking about when she said I should fall before you two, and that great honours will at tend my funeral, while, on the contrary, your last moments will be insulted by the people." " She has calumniated the people! Suppose we denounce her to the Tribunal ?" " Bah ! Some licence must be given to a prophetess." The sibyl of Curves was never molested. Saying this, Robespierre, IVlarli, — ;7l Saint Just, for those were the men who had just consulted their fates, r paired to the Committee of Public Safety, where they talked of any thing but of Mdlle. Lenormand. The death of Marat, which happened shortly after, verified part of the prognostication of the oracle. Saint Just and Robe spiere returned soon after this event to the sibyl, but she was very much on her guard in her remarks, and did her best to weaken the effect of her first prediction. Unfor tunately on succeeding consultations she was less discreet, and her prophetic ardour brought her at length within the walls of a prison, from which she was led to execution. Occupied alone with observing the fortunes of others, she allowed herself to he surprised by dangers which she might have avoided by consulting the lines in her own hand. The re-action of Thermidor however saved the life of Nldlle. Lenormand. It was never known whether she had ever foretold this event. The persecution of which she had been the victim brought Mdlle. Lenormand even more re nown than before. She had scarcely returned to her house before she was visited by a young woman dressed in mourning, and with a very sorrowful conntenance. " Your grief is legitimate, madam," said the sibyl, " but you must have expected the blow which has reached you ; this misfortune was indispensable to the realisation of a prophecy which had previously been made you.,, " What ! You know ?" cried the young widow, raising her thick black veil. " I know that a brilliant fortune has been predicted for you." And that prediction-. " Will be realised." These words, if not a consolation, were at least some what of a soothing balm poured into the wounds of the sorrowing widow. Josephine Beauharnis turned her re gards by degrees from past misfortune to carry them to wards a more brilliant fortune. Her Creole imagination was raised by these two predictions which, after an inter val of 20 years, promised her a crown. The Parisian sibyl had confirmed the oracle pronounced many years before by a fortune-teller of Martinique. This was enough to raise the fame of Mdlle. Lenormand, and to make her quit the rage amongst the fine ladies of the Di rectory, Madame Tallien, Madame Recamier, and a num ber of elegant and spirituel women, whose white hands opened quite a new era in the salons of the Luxembourg. The double prediction of our heroine was, however, at this time threatened in its fulfilment. The widow of Vis count de Beauharnis espoused a young officer without fortune, but just made a general, and who had solicited in vain to obtain a command. "Josephine," said her friends, "you have committed a folly which you will one day repent." " It is true," thought she, " that in marrying thus, I have lost the chance of realising my promised fortune." The dreams of ambition had, however, been sacrificed, without regret, for the feelings of the heart. Before, however, riveting still closer the bands which were about to bind her future life, the amiable widow desired ono! more to consult Mdlle. Lenormand, and she prevailed on Bonaparte to accompany her on this visit. The sybil examined the hand of her visitor, and, after consulting the cards, said, " Nothing of your future fate is changed." She iben took the hand of the young general, which she contemplated with great emotion. The lines traced on that hand pointed out to her the plans of campaign, and the glorious route by which he was conducttd to power. Bonaparte repaired to the sybil through pure complaisance to the charming caprice of his lady-love, but with a mind perfectly incredulous as to the renown of the prophetess ; but when the sybil spoke to him of his secret designs, of his warlike projects, and of the fortune of his arms, he listened to her with astonishment. " I will endeavour to realise your predictions," said he, on retiring. " And i," said Josephine, leaning with pride on the arm of Bonaparte, " I have no doubt of the brilliant for tune that is in store for me." At another time Madame de Stael went to consult Mdlle. Lenormand. This was under the consulate. The events which had been predicted by her were being ra pidly accomplished. On Madame de Stael presenting herself to the sibyl, the latter immediately said : " You are earnestly engaged in some proceedings which you are about to take to-morrow, but which will give you but little satisfaction." Madame de Steel was in fact to have an interview the next day with the First Consul. Bonaparte knew that the illustrious writer had spoken against him, and had even made common eause with some of his adverscries. Never theless the conqueror of Montenotte and the Pyramids might, in this instance, accomplish a fresh conquest ; he was anxious to attach to his car one of - the first women of the age, and the precious acquisition might be made at the expense of only a few fair words and a paltry indemnity of 1,200,000 f., which was claimed by the daughter of M. Necker. The great captain thought, however, that this was paying rather dearly for such a conquest. He re ceived her in the midst of a numerous circle, and instead of leading her into one of those subjects of conversation in which the whole brilliancy of her talent would have shone forth, he first addressed her by the question:-- " Have you seen the ` Pie Voleuse 1 It is the most attractive piece of the day." Surprised by this unexpected question, Madame de Stael felt at a loss for an immediate answer, when the consul added : " They say that we have also the 'Pie seditieuse.' This last remark deprived the lady of all her intellectual faculties, she sought in vain for a reply, and the consul not wishing to increase her embarrassment, turned from her and entered into conversation with another individual. Besides the particular causes of complaint which Bona parte had against the lady in question, he had in common with many other great men, a deep-rooted dislike to all learned ladies. After this memorable conference Madame de Steel thought of the remark of Mdlle. Lenormand. She re turned to the sybyl, and ever after continued to her a confidence which one of our doctrinaire ministers has respectfully kept up. The high destinies promised to Madame de Beauharnais had been realised, but that strange piece of fortune was to b.! followed by a melancholy reverse. One morning the Empress Josephine entered the presence of the Emperor in a state of great agitation. " I am aware of the project which you have in con templation," said she, "you wish to sacrifice me to r !mons of st a t e po li cy. The act of divorce has been e 'ready prepared." This was true. The Empress had been correctly in formed. But from whom had she received the informa tion ? How could she have learned it but from one of his intimate advisers? was the question which immediately suggested itself to the mind of the Emperor. " I will discover the author of this treason," said he, "and whoever he may be will find a means to punish him." " Be assured," replied Josephine, " you have no traitor in your family, nor among your councillors. She who an nounced my elevation also predicted my fall. I have learnt the whole from Mlle. Lenormand." :,. d telis In an hour after this scene, the sibyl 05 t '" -- o f taken before the prefect of police. i n O a n t o entering itihl raillery, office y,, ,lv o e f i I that a a fun d etal c o t i ii s o e rhe e l sl 6lllj o atif;P : oro tell you that you would be arrested to-daY • sent f 0 to " No," she replied • " I thought I to wns :" re e;',',,,ol' consulted, and have Crought my cards wi t c acao" which, she drew from her pocket, and cony° ~ i 0 range them on the table of the minister.
