Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated
the 4th of July :—" The brig Amanthea, Captain Bartlett, from
Messina, in ballast, was boarded on the 27th ult. between Nicoll'
and Tino, by a pirate-boat with twenty-five to twenty-seven men,
all armed, who plundered the ship's stores and crew's property,
including SOL in cash; after which they beat the captain and
men severely, in expectation of causing them to discover any
concealed property on board. The tour mystics sent out in
disguise by Captain Hamilton, with sixty men on board, to
look out for pirates, have net been heard of dote the first few days;
some slight anxiety is therefore entertained for their safety. Capt.
Hamilton has appointed convoy to be withdrawn to-morrow, and
another for the Dardanelles, which will give protection toiler Mary
Barry for Constantinople, and the Amanthea, going to load at
Velum on the coast of Troy."' ,

EFLEiTIONS. •

The man of strong go bd sense seldom displays the
eclat of genius. He applies himself to things in the
common way, but he po-sesses sound judgment, which
ple,erves.him fiorn the danger to which blighter men
are exposed.
The talents of the man of genius excite jealousy and
envy which interrupt his success and repose. The man
of good sense, always guided by reason— ilways master
of himself, proceeds regulirly in As career of life, and
knows how to avoid the thorns in his way.
Men of genius and wit are seldom happy. Men of
plain common sense generally are.
Mena sans in carport? sane. This is an old saying.
The body well constituted generally contains ill the
intellectual faculties. When it is attacked by any of
those maladies to which human nature is subject, the
mind feels it. We must, then, endeavour to preserve
health, in order to retain strength of mind. If we in•
jure the body, we destroy the fabric which nature has
made the depot of understanding.
