equal, and the account runs as follows:

POPULATION OF CIIINA.---44 In 1818, ac-
cording to the last census, the population of China within
the Great Wall amounted to 148,000,000 of souls, who
occupy only a surface of 700,000 square leagues. The
army was composed of 1,288,000 xnen—nanaely, 830,000
foot, 420,000 horse, and 33,000 marine•. The revenues
of the State, in 1817, amounted to 79,600 leang, or
477,600,000 of our money, in gold, silver, or the pro-
duce of the country. In China, a part of the revenue is
paid in corn, which is deposited in the public granaries,
and which is preserved from one year to another."

An Arab Shaikh or chief; who lived within
fifty miles of Bussorab, had a favourite breed of horses.
He lost one of his best mares, and could 'not for a long
time discover whether she was stolen or had strayed. Some
time afterwards, a young man of a different tribe, who had
long wished to marry his daughter, but had always been
rejected by the Shaikh, obtained the lady's consent, and
eloped with her. The Shaikh and his followers pursued ;
but the lover and his mistress, mounted on the same horse,
made a wonderful march and escaped. The old chief swore
that the fellow was either mounted upon the devil, or the
favourite mare he had lost. After his return he found, on
inquiry, the latter was the case ; that the lover was the
thief of his mare as well as of his daughter, and that he
had stolen the one for the purpose of carrying off the other.
He quite gratified to think he had not been beaten by
a horse of another breed, and was easily reconciled to the
young man, in order that he might recover the mare, which
appeared an object about which he was more solicitous than
his daughter.—Sketches of Persia.
FATAL EFFECTS OF WRESTLING. --On
Wednesday an inquest was held at the Westminster
Hospital, on the body
of Thomas Drake, aged 46. It ap-
evening
reared that on last Monday week the deceased, whois a
native of Devonshire, engaged in a wrestling match with a
man named Ulin, a native of Cornwall, in the tap-room at
n,
the Brewer's public-house, Tufton-stre; t. The deceased
was first throe
and Ulm then wished to put an end to
the contest, but the deceased again challenged Ulin, and in
the second trial they both fell, the deceased undermost, and
his left side came against a coal -box, which was in the room.
Mr. Manning, the landlord of the house, who was exa-
mined, said, that both men were sober ; it was a friendly
trial of skill. Ulin appeared to he the strongest man ; but
the deceased thought himself a professed boxer,
and pulled
down his stockings to spew some scars which be had re-
ceived by wrestling with some noted Cornish wrestlers.—
Mr. Young, Surgeon of the Hospital, proved that three of
the deceased's ribs were fractured, and he was otherwise
muchinjured in consequence of the fall. The Jury re-
turned a verdict Accidental Death, occasioned by a
fall in wrestling."
