THE ROSAMOND.—A laughable occurrence took
place in Alexandria a short time before her Majesty's
steamer Rosamond left that port. His Excellency Said
Pacha, the Lord High Admiral of the Egyptian fleet, is
very fond of visiting the British ships of war, and paid
a visit to the Rosamond. Every possible attention was
shown to the distinguished sailor, and he was on the
point of leaving, when, as if struck by a sudden thought,
he begged of Captain Foote to allow him to observe his
gun practice—pointing at the same time to a rock near
the lighthouse, whose apex was to form the target. The
wish was no sooner breathed than granted—the gun was
loaded, raised, and fired; the apex flew into smithereens
—and the headless rock remains a proof of British cor-
rectness in gun practice. The ship was one mile and a
half distant from the object fired at, and although his
Excellency much admired the precision of our men's
fire, they modestly attributed the result to accident.
His
Excellency was satisfied with the one shot—he would
not permit a second to bo fired.

and proposed the following method:—that some time,
when dead drunk,she would be laid into a box shaped like
a coffin, and loft in that situation until her fit should
be over, and consciousness restored. A few even-
ings ago, the dame being in a proper state, the plan was
put in execution, and after the box lid bad been properly
secured, the party before alluded to watched, each
in turn, t, " i the result. About daylight next
morning the wl` cher hearing a movement, laid
himself down beside the box, when her lady-
ship after bumping her head a few times, was
heard to say, " Bless me! why, where am I?" The
outsider replied in a sepulchral tone, " Madam, you
are dead and in another world." A. pause ensued, after
which the lady inquired, " Where are you ?" " Oh I I
am dead too; said he. " Can you tell me bow long I've
been dead ?" "About three weeks." "How long have
you been dead ?" "Four months." " Well, you have
been down here so much longer than I have, me& you
tell me where I can get p little gin ?"
