drily ; " why not this coalition as well as other coali-
tions ?" Nobody tried to answer this. " Charles Fox,
however," said Mr. Burke afterwards, "can never
internally like the French revolution. He is entangled;
but, in himself, if he should find no other objection to
it, h?,has at least too much taste for such a revolu-
tion. Mr. Eliot related that he had lately been in
a company of some of the first and most distinguished
men of the French nation, now fugitives here, and had
asked them some questions about the new French
ministry ; they had answered that they knew them not
even by name till now ! " Think," cried he, " what a
ministry that must be ! Suppose a new administration
formed here of Englishmen ofwhom we had never before
heard the names ! what statesmen they must be !
how prepared and fitted for government ! To begin

THE JEWESSES OF TETITAN.-At last our leader
made a halt at a little door in a long white wall,
which formed one side of a particularly crooked lane ;
and we descended from our horses on being informed
that
this was the entrance to the habitation of Solomon
Nahon, the Jew, to whose house all European travel-
lers visiting Tetuan repair. The outward appearance
boded nothing very favourable to the dweln ; but,

very pretty young women (the wife and sistersdew of
Solomon Nahon), who, in the manner of the Jewesses
of the East, stepped forward and kissed me as I crossed
s
the threshold. As I had been told that the costume
of the women of Tetuan is a remnant of the fashions
bequeathed to them by the luxurious Moors of Spain,s
when they took refuge upon these shores, I was very
curious in examining the toimletete

very elegant.

her chemise, which were tastefully embroidered in
coloured silk and gold; the body was also enriched
with a sort of stomacher of velvet, worked with gold
thread and coloured foil, which produced a very rich
effect. A striped silk scarf was tied round her waist :
neither drawers nor stockings were worn by her ; and
her pretty little bare feet were slipped

was the most complicated part of her
composed of two handkerchiefs, one crimson, the other
yellow, put on not exactly like a turban, nor even like
a fillet, but something between the two ; and descend-
ing so low upon the forehead as merely
.to show a
little of the parted hair, which was disposed in shining
braids close to the eyebrows. The head-dress was
enriched with velvet ornaments, embroidered in foil
and gold, like those affixed to her corsage. The
dresses of the other women of the family only differed
in colour from the one I have d escribed, with the
exception of the younger sister of our hostess, who,
being unmarried, wore her head uncovered, and her
her
hair parted down the middle and hanging over
shoulders, braided into twenty or thirty small tresses.
But the personal beauty of these fair Jewesses ap-
peared to us much more admirable than their costume;
and, strange to say, it is a description of beauty quite
distinct from the Jewish type. Nahon's wife has fine
dark hazel eyes, with a complexion of the clearest red
and white, and neither the full lips nor peculiar nostrils
of her people, but something of what the Italians so
expressively term simpatia,:in her blooming face ; but
her less brilliant-looking sister, with her fairer cheeks,
soft blue eyes, dark eyelashes, and light brown hair,
attracted the gentlemen's admiration in a superior
degree.—lffrs. Romer's Tour.
ADVENTURE WITH A TIGER.--I had gone to dine
in Salsette with Col. Hunt, the governor of the Fort
of Tannah, about seven or eight miles from Bombay ;
and as I had an appointment at home in the morning,

and the night was remarkably fine, with a brilliant
moonlight, I declined the hospitable invitation of my
host and hostess to remain with them during the night:
and ordering my palanquin to be ready at ten o'clock, I
left Tannah at that hour for Bombay. Great portion
of the way was over a level plain of some extent, and
while we were in the midst of this, the bearers, of
whom there were eight, four to carry, and four for a
relay, with two mussauljees, or lantern-bearers, who
carry their lights in the moon-light as well as in the
dark, as a matter of etiquette which it is thought dis-
respectful to omit— in short, the whole party of ten in
an instant disappeared, scattering themselves in all di-
rections, and each running at his utmost speed. I was
perfectly astonished at this sudden halt, and wholly un-
able to conjecture its cause, and all my calling and re-
monstrance was in vain. In casting my eyes behind
the palanquin, however, I saw, to my horror and
dismay, a huge tiger in full career towards me, with
his tail almost perpendicular, and with a growl that in-
dicated too distinctly the intense satisfaction with
which he anticipated a savoury morsel for his hunger.
There was not a moment to lose, or even to deliberate.
To get out of the palanquin and try to escape would
be running into the jaws of certain death. To remain.
within it was the only alternative. The palanquin
an oblong chest or box, about six feet long, two feet
broad, and two feet high. It has four short legs for
resting it on the ground, three or four inches only
above the soil. Its bottom and sides are flat, and its
top is gently convex, to carry off the rain. By a
pole projecting from the centre of each end the bearers
carry it on the shoulders, and the occupant lies
stretched upon a thin mattress on an open cane bottom,
like a couch or bed, with a pillow beneath his head.
The mode of entering and leaving .the palanquin is
through a square opening on each side, which, . when
the sun or rain requires it, may be closed by a. sliding
door; this is usually composed of Venetian blinds, to
allow light and air, in a wooden frame, and may be
fastened, if needed, by a small brass hook and eye.
Everything about the palanquin, however, is made as
light as possible, to lessen the labour of the bearers ;
and there is no part of the panelling or sides more
than half an inch thick, if so much. All I coulddo, there-
fore, was, in the shortest possible space of time, to
close the two sliding doors, and lie along on my back.
I had often heard that if you can suspend your breath
and put on the resemblance of being dead, the most
ferocious of wild beasts will leave you. I attempted

were horrible. He first butted one of the sides with
his head, and as there was no resistance on the other,
the palanquin went over on its beam ends, and lay per-
fectly flat, with the cane bottom presented to the tiger's
view. Through this and the mattress, heated, no
doubt, by my lying on it, the odour of the living flesh
came out stronger than through the wood, and the
snuffing and smelling were repeated with increased
strength. I certainly expected every moment that,
with a powerful blow of one of his paws, lie would
break in some part of the palanquin, and drag me out
for his devouring. But another butting of the head
against the bottom of the palanquin rolled it over on
its convex top, and then it rocked to and fro like a
cradle. All this while I was obliged, of course, to
turn my body with the revolutions of the palanquin
itself ; and every time I moved, I dreaded lest it should
provoke some fresh aggression. The beast, however,
wanting sagacity, did not use his powerful paw as I
expected, and, giving it up in despair, set up a hide-
ous howl of disappointment, and slinked off in the
direction from whence he came. I rejoiced, as may
well be imagined, at the cessation of all sound and
smell to indicate his presence, but it was a full quarter
of an hour before I had courage to open one of the side
doors, and put my head out to see whether he was
gone or not. Happily, he had entirely disappeared,
and I was instantly relieved. The next course to be
considered was, whether I should get out and walk to
Bombay, a distance of four miles, now near midnight,
or whether I should again close my doors and remain
where I was. I deemed this the safest plan, and re-
mained accordingly ; when, about half an hour after
midnight, all my bearers returned, with several peons,
or foot siathers, and muskets, pistol, lances, and sabres
enough to capture and kill a dozen tigers ; but these
were too late to be of any use. They made many
