The Semaphore of Marseilles gives a letter from
Algiers, dated the 22d ult., containing the following
episode in the late military excursion to Blida
:
" It will be recollected that a settler and his wife
were massacred by the Arabs in the rear of the
army. They had their daughter with them, a girl
of about 11 years of age, but of whom, though
every search was made, no traces could be found,
and no doubt was entertained of her having been
conveyed by the barbarians back w the mountains.
She, however, has returned to Algiers, owing her
safety to her own presence of mind. The following
narrative of her escape is from her own recital. She
was Feized by the hair of her head, and the in-
exorable ytagan was raised to strike her, when the
brigands suddenly observed the driver of the wag-
gon, from which she and her parents had been
taken, running to conceal himself in the brushwood.
They instantly abandoned their prey for this new
object of their ferocity, thinking, no doubt, they
should easily find the destitute child on their return.
She seized the propitious moment, and hastened to
hide herself in the marsh, and from her hiding place
watched the Arabs seeking the man who had
escaped then►. When they were at a distance she
regained sufficient courage to come out and give a
last embrace to her murdered parents, and was not
deterred from performing this act of filial affection,
either by the dangers to which she was exposed, or
by the revolting sight of the mutilated bodies of
her father and mother. Alarmed, however, by
some noise she again plunged into the marsh, and
having wandered about for several hours, found her-
self near an Arab hut, and sat down exhausted. She
had not been long in this position, when a child,
about her own age, came out of the hut, and in-
spired by Providence, the orphan threw hers. if upon
its neck—the Arab child answered her caresses. In
a few minutes she was surrounded by Arab women,
who wept over her rears of commiseration. Their
maternal feelings dictated to them their duties on
the occasion, and they endeavoured to conceal
her, but the husbands returned, and she was disco-
vered. These barbarians reproved their wives for
granting hospitality to a Christian; and one of them
had the brutality to throw an iron bar at the
head of his wife, beceuse she gave two eggs to the
famished child. She, however, was preserved and
remained with the tribe two days, submitting to
her fate with patience and resignation. The mur-
derers, in fact, reflected that the exasperated French
might again return to take vengeance, and that the
sparing their infant prisoner would, perhaps, be a
means of appeasing the wrath of their enemies.
At length a Moor, while the Arabs were absent.
got possession of the orphan, and having concealed
her in one of the baskets slung across his mule,
brought her on the 16th of September safe into
Algiers. Immediately on her arrival she was taken
to General Viorol, who bestowed upon her the most
anxious care. Her return becoming known, she
was the general object of curiosity and attention;
every one wished to hear from her own mouth the
narrative of her sufferings, to which we have riot
added a single word. M. Sappetty, Director of the
Caratine Hospital, has adopted the child, whose
name is Lucino Buretto, and will be to her as a se-
cond father; his kind-treatment will, no doubt, soon
alleviate the pains she has suffered. The officers of
the garrison have opened a subscription, the product
of which is to be deposited in the Savings' Bank at
Pdri,, which will ..ccumulate to form a dowry for
the orphan of Algiers."

The Earl of Eldon, after a short visit to his
brother, Lord Stowell, has left Early Court for Encombe.

An anecdote illustrative of the ignorance of
Corporate Magistrates, and the contempt with which they
sometimes treat scientific men, is to be found in the re-
cords of an important borough in the south of England.
A new guildhall and prison were required, and advertise-
ments for plans were published. Several good designs
(one by a celebrated London architect) were sent in,
glanced at, and laid aside. Their authors received neither
remuneration nor thanks ; but, on applying for the return
of their drawings, were inf irint.d that the Town Sergeant
had mislaid them. The plan of a common resident builder
was adopted. It was, indeed, a contrivanthi—a delicious
medley of barbarities—evidently originating in an ignorant
survey of the several rejected designs, so unfortunately
" lost." The conclusion is the only gratifying part of this
brief narrative. The builder was the first to appear in
the prisoner's box of Lis own ugly guildhall, and the last
to be emancipated from his own ill-contrived prison. He
was found guilty of obtaining, money under false pretences,
and sentenced to imprisonment so long as he should fail to
refund the sum of which he had illegally possessed himseif'
and to pay as touch more for the provision of those genuine
means which he had had the impudence to counter:eit.—

THE TURKS IN THE SIXTEENTH CEN-
TUR V.— Quantum naitantur ab illis.—Rosbeck, Am-
bassador from the Emperor of Germany to the Ottoman
Court, thus writes, in 1595 :—" When I compare the
power of tie Turks with our own, I confess the conside-
ration fills me with anxiety and dismay ; and a strong
conviction tia.s itself on my mind that we cannot long
resist the destruction that awaits us ; they possess im-
mense wealth, strength unbroken, a perfect knowledge of
the are of war, patience under every difficulty, union,
order, frugality, and a constant state of preparation. On
our side, exhausted finances and universal luxury; our
national spirit broken by repeated defeats, mutinous sol-
diers, mercenary officers ; b eentiousness,intemperance,
and a total contempt or neglect of military discipline, fill
up the disteal catalogue. Is it possible to doubt howsuch an unequal conflict must terminate? The enemy's
forces being at present directed against Persia alone sus-
pends our fate; after subduing that Power, the all-con-
quering Mussulman will rush with undivided strength,
and overwhelm not only Germany, but all Europe."
