Ternaux, Member of the Chamber of Deputies. has
commie 'nested to the Society for the ericourageinerit
of this acquisition, 49 00piortaiiit la our 111111116st:-
tures. M. Ternaux having learned from different
travellers that the Schuh* of Persia have trasisported
these auditoria with success front Tio,,t, their native
country, to the Eastern Provincea of Persia, from
Great Bucharia to the Kerman, conceived the idea
of bringing them into France, fur the purpose of
procuring UP the means of fabricating shawls,
which would secure to our industry a tribute from
Etropeari luxury. M. Amadeus Jaubert, .au
orient-hut and distinguished traveller, undertook
the execution of this project. The Duke of Riche-
lieu declared himself the protector of it, and the
revered name of the founder of o.lestia awakened in
all the Russian provinces through which M. Jaw
Bert hmd to pass, ass universal good-will, and pro.
cured him whatever assistance lie could desire. For
a long time, however, M. l'ertiaux was without any
intelligence front M. Jaubert, and he learned his
arrival on the shores of the sea of Asupli only through
the newspapers.
tt Since that period," says M. Ternaux, le I
have leorned by M. Jauhert's letters, that he was
compelled to abandon 200 of these animals in the
Steppes of the Ural ; that, besides, 1w had brought
with hint severiteen carriages laden with sick ani-
mals; that what caused him most pain was the suf..
&rings experienced by his flock from fatigue and
cold of from 18 to 24 degrees; that at length after
having braved hunger, thirst, and the wolves of
the Desert, having traversed half-civilized nations,
and performed a long journey by land, there
remained r.othing further for him to surmount
but the difficulties of the sea, and that he had
embarked 568 animals, of which 240 were of the
pure breed, 300 of crossed breed, six sheep of
Bucharia, of common wool, right young kids,
seven young females, and seven lollies. lie ins-
'mutters to me, that whirl) these animals shall
have arrived in France, it will Ire twcessarry to take
extreme care of the mules ; t that _he se animals,
which are vigorous but delicate, havr neither the
:shapes nor the repulsive smell of the European
goats ; that it is hinpossible to hurl animals snore
docile, more courageous, more easily conducted
or supported than these goats. but that they would
suffer from cold, ill-treatment, and want of
nourishment, lii his previous letters he informed
me, that lie had succeeded in supporting diem with
hay and oats, and that every species of pasturage
would suit them."

We learn from Marseilles, that of the 568 em-
barked, 160 died on the passage ; hut this loss is
compensated in some degree by the 'birth of several
others. The eight males have been reduced to
five. A veterinary surgeon has been seta to 'Mar-
seilles to take care of them. M. Jaubert rUII re-

An inquest was held at Eyton, in the pari.li of

body of CHARLES GEORGE, an Gavot, %lune lathier

The Rifle Brigade, at Gosport, the 33d regi-
ment at Hikes, and the 79th regiment in Ports-
mouth garrison, were inspected last week by Major-
General Lord HOWARD of Effingham, the Lieu-
tenant-Governor, and Commander-in-Chief of the
South-West District. And Saturday, being St.
George's Day, the natal day of his Royal High-
Ms. the PRINCE REGENT, was (by appointment of
last year) celebrated, when these regiments, with
the Royal Artillery, mud the Royal Marine Corps,
tired a feu-de-joie ; the gulls un the Platform Bat-
tery, and the shins of war at tl.' port, tired royal
salutes. Lord HuWatto of Effingham, and Ad.
viral Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL, gave de.
Kant dinners to the principal officers of their re.
wpective departments; and in the evening a ball
was held at the Green-row Rooms, which all the
rank, respectability, and fashion of the town at-
tended.

A young Gentleman was the other day asking a
grave quid Rune what d la Brutus meant, as so Ire.
'wetly applied to the hair ! The old Gentleman, who was
wale way related to him, roughly replied, Why, young man,
BRUTUS, who assassinated CAMIAR, was remarkable fur the
fuluess and beauty of his hair—such a head of hair as is now
produced by ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, of admirable
excellence.
