SUBSTITUTE FOR COFFEE.—The seeds of
foreign grapes have been discovered to be an
excellent substitute for coffee. When pressed,
they first produce a quantity of oil ; and after-
wards, when boiled, furnish a liquid very similar
to that produced from coffee. Theyractice has
become very general throughout tiermany.—

Consols have shewn a firm and rather improving ap-
pearance this morning, they opened at 861 shortly after

peatedly at 86i, as the nearest price; they are now quoted

all the morning, Colombian 6 per Cent. Bonds being 30i- ;
Mexican, 69k 1 ex. div. ; Greek fell, late in the afternoon
of yesterday, to 14, but closed at 15 ; this is caused by no
notice having been taken in his Majesty's Speech of the
measures said to be in embryo by the European Powers,
for the putting an end to the war between them and the
Turks, aided also by the report of the Acropolis having at
length been obliged to capitulate ; the present state of the
Bonds are 144 151 ; Spanish keep drooping, being 101
11. The Share Market warrants no fresh quotations, and
to this hour no business has been noted.

THE THAMES TUNNEL.-(THIS DAY.)

A Court of Directors of this Company was held in
Walbrook, at which Mr. Brunel laid a statement of the
present appearance of the work before the Directors.

The water in the interior is in the course of being
pumped out, and there is every indication that the means
adopted to stop the apertures will be permanent in prevent-
ing any further irruption of water.
Yesterday was a busy day at Rotherhithe, and the large
tarpaulin which has been preparing for some days past was
carried in procession to the river by the men. It over-
lays in the middle of the stream, and after the sides have
been loaded with a chain, will be sunk to the bed of the
river. Upon further inspection of the Tunnel, it has been
found that not the least injury has been done. It will be
some days before the whole of the water can be drawn out.

AmAsis.—Amasis, a man of humble origin,
was the favourite, and afterwards the successor
of Apries, King of Egypt. Finding himself
somewhat despised by the people on account of
his mean extraction, he hit upon this method
of curing their folly ; he caused a golden bason,
in which he used to wash his feet, to be con-
verted into the statue of a god, and had it set
up in a conspicuous part of the capital. The
superstitious multitude flocked to worship it
Amasis now told them that the object of their
veneration had once been nothing but a vile
utensil; « and (said he), it is the same with
me : I was formerly a humble individual-1 ant
now your king. Take care, therefore, to respect
me according to the station I now bold."--'

The third volume of The Monthly Maga'
zine has just been completed, and will have been
used, _ its pr.grcria* with much satisfaction
Ey the greater part of our readers. The object
of the Editor and Proprietors of this periodic)
has been to render it a work no less of liumone
and amusement than of science aria instruction
and in this effort the occasional notices which
have appeared from time to time of it, in out,
own journal as well as in numerous others, will
afford sufficient proof that they have succeeded'
Among the political and scientific essays which
have appeared in the last volume, the papeC
entitled The New Ministry, contained in the
last number; a paper on the subject of TM
Water Companies, in the number for Ma)',
forming a complete analysis of the merits of that
question, on which the inhabitants of London
are now divided ; two papers upon the very min'
portant topic, The State of the Public Charities
throughout the country ; and Movements is
Portugal (an article published on the first ar'
rangement and sailing of the late expedition, but
in which the whole course of events which have,
since arisen will be found to be predicted), are all
papers containing matter entitled to considerable
attention. The lighter pages will be found to
contain several admirable sketches by Hazlitt;
some, we believe, by Croly ; others by Miss
Mitford, and Dr. 'VI-again ; with poetry from the
elegant pens of Mrs. Hemans, the late Williao
Hayley, by Mr. H. Neele, Mr. T. K. Hervey"
&e., &c. The Letters from London, ad
Notes on the Month, are olios of great variety
and general entertainment ; embracing anel
analyzing the merits of all the current topics,
political, literary, and humorous, of the dal'
The first number cf the 4th volume, just pub'
lished, appears, in spirit and intelligence, to be
fully equal to those which have preceded h.-1

The following version of an old story appear',
in the travels of Mirza Itesa Modeen.—, There
is another story of an Adventure happening to 0
poor Highlander, from not being well acquaint'
ed with the English language. He came up tt
London and was greatly distressed for want of
victuals. One day in the bazaar, seeing a per'
son with a friendly expression of countenance,
he stated to him his lamentable case. The mat
asked him why he did not go to the shop of
penny-cook, where it is usual for poor people to
get food ? It is here necessary to state, that is
these shops poor people giving a couple of pice,
a portion of meat, and half

thought that he wanted to get either his hair cut
or to be shaved, and pointed out a barber's shop'
The Highlander going to the shop knocked atthe door, and was admitted by the barber, who
seated him on a chair. The tonsor then filled
an e7-er with
hot water, put a lump of soap in it,
and making a lather, placed it on the table be'

and ate it. Upon the barber's coming down,
stairs and seeing what had happened, he was pe'

taking two pice from his pocket, laid them on,,
