has arrived at the residence a the Rev. Dr. awtrey, Pro-
vost of Eton, ccouioned by the marriage of the Rev.
Charles Caldeoott Jamey, M.A., one of the mute,, of Eton.
Mr. Witt, K S., csrain of the school, was consequeetly
summoned to the Provost's lodge t to undergo the
customary ceremony of " rippicg " previous to hie depar-
ture for Cambridge. Ripping is an ancient custom of the
college. The boy, on getting King's, appear, before the
provost in his gown, which formerly was closed in front,
and the provost had to rip it up in order to disrobe him;
the gown of the present de although similar in texture, is
somewhat varied in form, being open in frost, consequently
in order to perpetuate the ceremony, it hse to be sown up
previous t ) the fortunate scholar aopeariog before the pro-
vost to be ripped. Charter' le now captain of the school,
but it is exported another resignation will arrive for that
gentleman before the school rpm*, in which cue Boson-
quet will be captain.
INTERMARRIAGES AT ALLIANDitle.—The English
Causal et Alezandrie, backed by oar Consul-Oeur,f, ham
noently refused to /Larry a Protestant English girl to a
Mahomedan Egyptian, though bothers anxious to be united.
The plea given is that the Egyptian is nut subject to the
authority of the British Consul, and therefore by the laws of
hie own country he might &vireo his English wife the day
after marriage, or take other wives besides hero'', and the
Consul would have no power to protect the girl. But
independently of this reason our Consuls are ani-
mated with the desire of discountenancing the mar-
riage of English women with the natives of this country,
for they lead to misery. The Egyptians who are sent to
England for their education are generally taken from the
lower climes, and, though liberally r rovaled for while in
England, on their return to Egypt they have to begin life
on a very low scale, with a pittance of seldom more tha*
601. yearly. Boma parents in England, seeing the Egyp.
time abundantly supplied with everything, imagine they
mut hold high rank in their own country, and do not heel-
tate to giving them their daughters in marriage. But these
marriages, though binding en the part of the women, are
not binding on the part of the Egyptians, who are subject
only to the laws of their own country ; and the men, though
they may have imbibed some civilised ides while in Eng-
land, moon return to their natural propensities, and neglect
their English wives, or do not hesitate to make additions to
their harem, and the wives bitterly regret the step they
have tikes.—Letter in the Passes. .

THE TARTARS Or THE CRIMEA.—A late prisoner
of war in Russia has addres•ed the following to a coteni-
pour, :—" I have jest returned to England after having
nod live months' experience of Russian orisons. To dwell
on my hardships sn4 the degradation of my bishop on a
march of 133 days with convicts into Um interior of that
country is not the object of this letter. My desire is to Ilz
instant attention on the pitiable condition of hundreds of the
wretched Tartar population in the Crimea who are festering
in Muscovite prisons, or on march to exile, guilty of no other
grime than that of having supplied provisions to the allied
troops. At Simpberopol 1 law them lying in the loathsome
sells of the town ; on the roads I saw them dragged from
their homes, chained, beaten, wending their way, as I wee
Informed, to the hcrrore of Siberia* exile. They looked
for pity, not unmingled with here, to the friendly touts of
their English fellow-eeptives. Let not the sorrowful sigh-
ing of these prisoners and their trust In English eywp iihy
be vain. Let these lines, supported by England's powerful
appeal, c`aitn regard to their sufferings, and challenge re-
medy for their wrong,. The puce that hes beau signed
wit diffuse joy throughout Russia. Let the magnanimity
of their Emperor, who hu restored 'him Husks to his vat
domains, give back the Crimean stiles to their hearts."
