pigeons each. At the commencement the betting was 6t04 in
favour of Battersea, but, after the fourth round, the betting was
6 to 4 in favour of Godstone ; the match was won by the latter
.by one bird. After the match fifty sat down to a handsome
dinner, provided by Mr. Swayne, landlord of the Red Muse ta-
vern. While the social glass was going round another match
was made between Messrs: Swayne and Berryman against Messrs.
Sproston and Stonebill, for the next day, for 101. aside, at twelve
pigeons each ; but each side killed 19, and the match 'was not
in decided, consequence of there being no more pigeons.

probablyth e i ear chn_orayx of; that

l
events we can make nothing of it :—.Twenty horses are to be put
into five stables, each stable to contain an
odd horse; that is, no
stable must contain an even number of horses."
Upon this, another learned Editor observes, by way of taunt
at the dulness of his contemporary—
" Now, if twenty horses are divided into five stables, will not
each stable contain four horses ? And how can any one contain
an odd number? The truth is, that this is one of those plain
things which puzzle a person by their being proposed as puzzles."
A correspondent of the latter gentleman, too, can only get
through the difficulty by turning " Knacker," and transmitting
the whole thing into an Irish Bull, as follows :
" The only way to solve this nuzzle is, to make one horse into
two halves, and to put seven whole horses in the first stable, three
in the second, three in the third, three horses and half a horse
in the fourth, and three horses and half a horse in the fifth stable."
We, however, should think that the feat might be accomplished
less cruelly and laboriously thus :—Put twenty-one horses into
five stables, according- to this distribution—three in the first
stable, three in the second, and five in each of the other three
Stables ; by which there will be twenty horses in five stables, and
each stable with an odd horse ! Q. E. D. Any other distribution
of 21 horses on the same principle, will attain the same end. In

Fitzgibbon, a poor man residing near Miltown Malbay, was mali-
ciouslyconiprising a cow, an ass,, his beds, and a few articles of furni-
ture, all of which were reduced to a heap of cinders,—Liinerich

Eight laequeys on foot, in the ambassador's private liviirhr
Twenty-fonr footmen of the embassy dressed in bluefrock colts,

with ostrich feathers. In the midst of them walked the chief but-
ler with a bag and sword.

The five interpreters of the embassy, riding singly according to
seniority, that is, the lowest in rank going at the head, and the
highest going last. They were dressed according to. the Oriental
costume, although of Frank descent, the etiquette or rather the
arrogance of the Porte forbidding interpreters serving foreign em-
bassies to appear before the Turkish authorities in their rnational
dress. They wore, however, on their heads, as a mark of inde-
pendence And privilege, a high cap made of black sable, similar to
the one which is worn by hussars, the top being, as in theirs, of
scarlet cloth—Next came
The ambassador.
The secretary of the embassy.
The consul-general.
A secretary, supporting with both hands a small crimson satin
cushion on which were placed the ambassador's credentials and
letters of recall, contained in a satin bag embroidered with gold.
The imperial residence, called the seraglio, consists of a great
number of small and low detached buildings, the highest of which
have not more than two stories. They are scattered over an im-
mense extent of ground, intermixed with trees and gardens, and
occupying the whole and identical space on which Byzantium once
stood. The walls by which the seraglio is surrounded, have been
supposed to be those of that ancient city; but the more reasonable
opinion is, that they were raised in the reign of the Emperor
Justinian, whose numerous architectural improvements iu and
about Constantinople many monuments attest to the present day.
The outer principal entrance to the seraglio, on the street side, is
a lofty and long gateway, bordered with broad fixed benches, on
which numerous porters spread their carpets in the hot summer-
days, and enjoy, smoking their pipes, the constant refreshing
draft. This entrance leads immediately to a wide open square, ou
the left of which is situated the Mint. Facing is a high wall,
through'which a second gate, as high but not as deep as the first,
leads to an inner court, thickly shaded by a number of 'tall trees
very symmetrically laid out. This court is surrounded with
buildings of various shapes and sizes, most of which are used as
household offices, and lodgings for such of the seraglio attendants
as are not allowed to penetrate into the . inner apartments.
AMOR.' them, to the left, is the great divan-room, or council,
chamber, which in appearance and shape may be compared to the
Guildhall of London in miniature.

The moment that the distribution of the pay commenced,. the
head chamberlain was called in by the 'Vizier, and desired to go to
the Sultan and announce the arrival of the English ambassador in
these words :—" Some infidels have come from the King of Eng-
land with presents,* and beg to be fed and clothed at your court;
and admitted to be dazzled by the splendour of your sublime pre-
sence." The chamberlain returned half an hour after, and ap-
proached us in solemn and dignified pace. He held in his left
hand a long staff richly ornamented with gold; and in his right,
which was raised to his forehead, a paper or parchment,:contained
in a'bag made of embroidered crimson satin, on which were writ-
ten these imperial words, addressed to the Vizier, " Let the Eng 7
lish infidels be fed, clothed, and admitted to approach my sublime
presence." Upon the reading this mandate, the ambassador was
welcomed by the Vizier, and invited to walk into the divan-room
to partake of an entertainment which was here called a dinner,
but to which we might have given the appellation of_Jejeune d la
foureliette, if such things as knives and forks were to be seen on
Turkish tables. The divan-room we found to be, as it were,
thoroughly lined with dark walnut-wood ; floor, ceiling, wain-
scots, tables, benches, and stools, being all of that material. The
Vizier was seated on a kind of arm-chair in the middle of the
bench facing the entrance, with his legs hanging down and resting
on a stool—the first instance I had seen of a Turk's quitting the
usual posture of sitting cross-legged ; this, however, was accounted
for by the absence of sofas, which are an indispensable article of
furniture in every room of a Turkish house. Before the Vizier
stood a very small table. On the right -hand bench were seated
all the ministers of the Porte, and on the left the Mooftee and all
,the dignitaries of law and religion. There were also before them
tables of some length. With the exception of these, the room was
occupied precisely in the manner it is seen when a council of
state is held therein for some extraordinary purpose. About four
or five feet above the Vizier, we perceived a latticed window, be-
hind which the Sultan sits on those occasions as a silent president,
seeingiwithont being seen, and making known his will in writing to
the Vizier through private secretaries, who are constantly going
