THE NEW ROUTE TO INDIA BY THE 80.
PEIRATES.—The Commerce publishes some private col.
respondence, dated Aleppo, June 10, 1841, which state
that the English steamboats, 11imrod and N.; tocris, had_
arrived at Beles, on the Euphrates'i..after a navljation a
sixteen days, and a distance of 375 leagues. Lieutenant
Campbell, who commanded the expedition, had ascer-
tained that both the Tigris and Euphratesare navigable
for large vessels, and that those rivers present a new
passage to the British possessions in India. " Documents
stolen from M. Luscaris, at Alexandria, in the ye:tr 1E34,
continues the writer, "contained important inform.''
tion collected by this gentleman," who was-
spatched by the Emperor Napoleon to explore Mese-
potamia and the Euphrates, in order to ascertain the
e si
possibility of discovering a passage to India by the
Orontes. The British Ministry determined to verify'
those plans. Colonel Chesney was deputed on this mis
sion in the year 1835. Great Britain then ascertained
that the Orontes, which falls into the Mediterranean,
was navigable as fur as Latakia (the ancient Antioch.)
That the ancient harbour of Seluccia, situate at the mout4'
of this river, could be rendered an excellent harbour at
small expense. That it was easy to make a road tO -1
Aleppo, and thence to the Euphrates through the valleys'
and that the distance, 45 leagues, could be eat ily tra-
versed. A coal bed was discovered at the foot of Mouyit Tau-
rus, 10 leagues from Tarsus. Near this coal bed, which is of
considerable extent, has been discovered an iron. mine,
which gives 60 per cent. of metal. These mines are sur-
rounded by oak woods of great value. The writer cal.
culates that the journey may be made from Bomb.%y tO
Liverpool in 34 days—viz., from Bombay to Beles, 16
days ; from Boles to Alexandrette, 3 days : thence t°
Liverpool, 15 days. The letter concludes by stating th St,
there is no doubt but that in a few years the English wi-k
monopolize the trade of Bagdad, Bassora, Aleppo, an O.
all Mesopotamia.
ST. MARTIN'S-IN-THE-FIELDS REGISTRA•
TION SOClETY.—Yesterday evening the members of this
Society, met at the Cambrian, in Castle-street, Leicestra-
squire, for the purpose of affording information to the
electors, in reference to the means of supporting their
claims in the Registration Courts, and which tended to
the satisfaction of many applicants. It was stated by
one of the members that many parishes had adopted the
plan suggested by the Westminster Reform Society, and
the effects of their own individual efforts, had been to
increase the number of objections this year to 716, while
in the last they wet e but 200, and the Society calculated
upon the certainty of maintaining at least 500 of them.
" Ephraim," said Simon, " what does a young
fellow look like, when
ellanting his sweetheart through
a shower ? " Why, said Ephraim, looking at his
boot, " he has very much the appearance of a rain beau!"
A western gentleman has recently invented
new sort of matches, which take fire at a wink ; they
are called ophthalmic magnetic matches.

twelve months personal experience of' the superior efficacy of
Solomons and Co.'s Spectacles. They are soft and easy to the
sight, give great relief and con fort when vision is excrted by all
minute occupation, by lamp or candlelight. Major Blair has used
the ordinary glasses for years, but never experienced such peroto-
nent ease as he now enjoys; he therefore feels no hesitation ill
giving them his unqualified approbation, gold in recommendinf
their use to all whose sight may require assistar. ce.-5, Parliament-
