AMERICAN PIRACY.
The following is an extract from a letter date,d.
New York, Sept. 29 :
" I send with this a new novel, published' it:
London, called ' Percival Keene.' The 034 .4
copy was received by the Great Western, an
re-published in thirty-three hours after its arrivli
here, and sold for 121 cents (about 6d.) all over
our City, in a paper called the New World."

THE ROUTE TO SUF4Z.
A few days ago we saw in a Contemporary a r'i;
graph, in which the land journey from Alexandria
Suez was described as most uncomfortable, in conse
quence of the bad condition of the horses and carriage. ,
employed. It would seem, however, that the writ
had drawn upon his imagination for his fitcts, becatit,
the Marquis of Tweeddale, no bad judge of such
the
ters, gives quite a different version of the story in t
letter of which we subjoin a copy :
" Suez, Aug. 22, 1842'

carriage and horses were of the best kind for the
