RIVERS.

The rivers or outlets of British Guiana which drain the
colony between the 57th and 60th meridian, and from the 7th
parallel to the equator, are, commencing from the westward,
the Essequibo, the Demerara, the Berbice, and the Corentyn.
The Essequibos is the largest river of Guiana, and receives
its origin in the Acarai mountains, forty-one miles north of
the equator, from whence, for the first sixty miles, its gene-
ral course is north-east, meandering in short turns through
a rich mountain valley ; it divides frequently into branches,
and numerous rivulets flow from the mountains into its bed.
During inundations its waters rise here from twenty-tive to
thirty feet above its banks.. It receives the Caneruau and
Wapuau from the south-cast, the Camoa or Ouangou from
the south-west. Having passed the Ouangou mountains,
which rise on its eastern shore to a height of 3000 feet, and
form the northern angle of the Acarai mountains, its course
is north to the confluence of the Cassi Kityou or Yuawauri,
which joins the Essequibo from the south-west. The sources
of the Cassi Kityou are said to be in the vicinity of those of
the Unanahau, a tributary of the Rio Branco. From this
point it runs in a north-east direction, and receives in 2 deg.
16 min. N. lat. its largest tributary south of the Rupununi,.
the Cuyuvini, which has its sources at no great distance from
those of the Rupununi, but on the eastern foot of the Cara-
waimi chain. The Essequibo follows now a north-western'
course, and it is for the next seventy miles so much impeded
by cataracts, that it is even not navigable for the small canoes
of the natives. It forms in 3 deg. 15 min. N. lat. a large
cataract called 'William the Fourth's Cataract. The river is
here narrowed in by mountains to about fifty yards, and pre-
cipitates itself with great force over two ledges of rock about
twenty-four feet high ; and adopting a north-by-west direc-
tion, it receives in 4 deg. N. lit. the Rupununi, a large river
which has its source in a savannah at the western foot of
the Carawaimi mountains. It forms in 2 deg. 39 min. a
cataract ; and. meandering through the savannahs it passes
the Saeraeri mountains, and flows northward through the
Cannucu, .until the Sierra Pacaraima, in the vicinity of the
mountain Annai, turns it to the east. It receives previously,
in 3 deg. 37 min. N. lat., the stream Awaricuru or Waaecuru
from the south-west; by which, and its tributary the Quat-
tata, the Pirara may be reached, which latter river belongs
to the basin of the Amazon. Having passed the southern
foot of the mountain Mukarapan, the Rupununi receives
from the south its largest tributary, the Roiwa or Rewa, and
joins in lat. 3 (leg. 59 min. N. the Essequibo. The course of
the Rupununi is about 220 miles; it flows mostly through
savannahs, and its waters are white. After its junction ;with
the Essequibo, the latter continues in a north-western di-
rection, forming the cataract Orotoko, and receives in lat.
4 deg. 46 min. N. the River Siparuni or Red River from the
south-west. In its further course the Camuti and Twasinki
mountains cause it to describe almost the figure S, and it is
impeded by several rapids and numerous islands. The river
Potaro or Black River joins the Essequibo, from the south-
west, a few miles below the cataract of Waraputa. By the
Potaro and a short land-passage the Indians reach the river
Mazaruni. From the hills Oumai to Point Saccaro it turns
now for sixty miles due-north ; whilst its tributary, the Ma-
zaruni, twelve miles to the westward, and the river Deme-
rara fifteen miles to the eastward, hold a parallel course for
the same distance. Fifty miles from its mouth occur the
last rapids, which prevent the tide and sailing vessels from
ascending any further. About six miles north-west from
Saccaro it receives the waters of the united rivers Mazaruni
and Cuyuni, which at the point of junction are about a mile
wide.

The junction of the Mazaruni and Cuyuni takes place eight
miles west of their confluence with the Essequibo. Opposite
their confluence, but in the Mazaruni, is the small island
Kyk-oer-all, where the Dutch in former times erected a fort
against the incursions of the Spaniards. The Mazaruni is
only navigable for small sailing vessels to the island of Caria ;
further south commence the rapids, which are no doubt
caused by the same ledge of rocks that form the Aritaak
rapids in the Essequibo§. The Cuyuni runs fi om its conflu-
ence with the Yuruario east and west. The Essequibo con.
tinues its northern course, growing continually wider until
at its mouth it forms an estuary nearly twenty miles wide
(according to others only fifteen.) In its wide estuary there
are nu►nerous islands, some of which are of considerable ex-
tent. The cultivation of Hog Island, which is about fifteen
miles long, is restricted to its northern point. Wakenaam,
of equal length, and Leguan, about twelve miles long, are
however in a high state of cultivation. Tiger Island, the
most western in the mouth of the Essequibo, is less culti-
vated.

The entrance of the Essequibo is much impeded and ren-
dered dangerous for navigators by many shoals and sand-
banks which extend to seaward. The best and safest of the
four channels formed by the three islands is between the east
shore and the Island Leguan, which has a depth of from two
to four fathoms. According to the volume of water which
there is in the river, the current is more or less strong ; but
it is seldom more ian four knots, even during the rainy sea-
son. The course of the Essequibo, taking its windings into
account, is not less than 620 miles, exceeding in length any
river in France,_ and vying with the Vistula in Poland.
East of the Essequibo and parallel to it is the Demerara or
Demerary, having its sources probably in that small group of
mountains which approach the Essequibo in 4 deg. 28 min.
N. lat. and are called Maccari. Its upper course is Quly
known to the Indians. At 5 deg. 19 min. N. lat. it forms a
great cataract, impassable even for canoes, which the Indians
convey here overland until the river is again unimpeded. The
last rapids (Kaicoutshi Rapids) are a distance of about eighty-
five miles in a straight line from Georgetown, to which point
it is navigable for vessels of smaller size. A square-
rigged vessel has been known to road timber at Lucky
Spot (in 5 degrees 57 min. N. lat.,) about seventy-five miles,
(the windings included,) from the river's mouth. Towards
its mouth it widens to a mile, and where it enters the sea it
is more than a mile and half across. A bar of mud extends
about four miles to seaward, with only nine feet of water at
half-flood, but the channel along the eastern shore has nine-
teen feet of water at high-tide. The river's average current
is about 24 knots ; it sweeps, however, with much more
strength at the anchorage at George Town, where, assisted by
the reflux of the tide, it has been known to reach a velocity
of seven knots in an hour, or 11.9 feet, in a second. The
Demerara, running parallel between the Essequibo to the
west and tile Berbice to the east, does not receive any tribu-
taries of magnitude ; the tide extends about seventy-five
miles in a straight line from its mouth.
The river Berbice discharges itself into the Atlantic about
fifty-seven miles to the east of the Demerara; its source is
probably near the third parallel of latitude. In its upper
course it approaches so near to the Essequibo that the direct
distance in 3 deg. 55 min. N. lat. amounts only to nine miles.
It takes from hence a north-western course, sometimes nar-
rowing to thirty feet, at other times spreading into lake-like
expansions; its banks are low and frequently marshy. The
river is studded with boulders. _ _

In lat. 4 deg. 19 min. N. and about seven miles further
north commence the cataracts and rapids, which impede the
river for upwards of fifty miles ; the last cataract is in 4 deg.
50 min. N. lat., and the river is now flee for boat navigation.
Where the fifth parallel crosses its course it follows a north-
eastern direction to its outflow into the Atlantic. It is navi-
gable for vessels which draw not more than twelve feet water
to lat. 5 deg. 20 min., upwards of 105 miles, according to the
river's winding course; vessels of seven feet draught may
ascend it for 165 miles, measured along its numerous wind-
ings. The influence of the tide is perceptible nearly to that
distance.

I. The Essequibo is said to have received its name from
Don Juan Essequibel, an officer under Diego Columbus. At
its lower course it was called by the Indians who inhabited
the coast " Aranauma." The Tarumas call the upper Esse-
quibo " Coatyang Kityou," the Macusis, and Caribees
Sipou."
§ Mr. Hillhouse, who has ascended the Mazaruni and the
Cuyuni to a considerable distance, found both rivers much
impeded by rapids and cataracts. I suppose the Mazaruni

CA TERP I LLA RS. —The following very easy process of
time
de-
stroying caterpillars on gooseberry trees has for some
been practised in the gardens of Mr. Gaitskell, at Hull San"
ton, near Whitehaven, with complete success. Obtain a
quantity of finely-powdered hellebore, and when the cater-
pillars begin to make their appearance avail yourself of the
first evening or morning after a shower of rain, and whilst
the foliage is wet, to dredge a quantity of the hellebore upon
the infected trees from a pepper box or any similar article,
taking care that the interior portions of the branches are
well sprinkled with the powder. If the caterpillars make
their appearance during a dry season, better wet the trees
from a watering pan and apply the powder as above. De-
struction is almost instantaneous, and the operation is as
simple as it is cheap—a pound weight of the hellebore, which
costs only ls. Bd. being sufficient for one hundred ordinary
sized trees.—Carlisle Patriot.

AN INCIDENT IN THE THREE GLORIOUS DAYS.—The
captain was pointing at the moment with his cane to the
heights of Passy. The boy approached him, staring at him
with astonished eyes, and, drawing a horse-pistol from under
his waistcoat, laid hold of it with both hands, and pointed it
at the captain's breast. He turned it aside with his cane,
but the boy having. pulled the trigger, the ball entered the
upper part of his thigh. The captain fell upon his seat with-
out saying a word, and looked with pity at this sinubular!
enemy. He saw the boy still holding his weapon in both:
hands, and quite frightened at what he had done. The gre-
nadiers were at that moment sadly resting upon their arms ;
they did not deign to make a single gesture against the young
rogue. Some of them lifted up their captain, others merely
laid hold of the boy by the arm and led him to the officer'
whom he had wounded. He burst into tears, and when he
saw the blood streaming from the officer's wound down his
white trousers, he was so terrified that he fainted. The
captain and the boy were both carried together to a small
house near Passy.-Nopler's Military Life.
Snail SIIDJA AND lIIS BROTHER.—Baron Hugel, with
whom I bad travelled from Kashmir, and myself, were in-
troduced by Captain Wade to Shah Shuja and Shah Ziman,
:the pensioned ex-kings of the country I was going to visit.
We found Shah Shuja sitting on a chair in a recess, or rather
doorway of his house, with a vista, formed by two rows of
attendants, that diverged from it, as from a centre. He ap-
peared to be a man aged about fifty, of the middle size, good-
natured, and port-wine complexioned; looking snore like a
gentleman who had lost an estate, than a monarch who had
lost his kingdom. He wore a dark-coloured robe, a white
turban, and white cotton gloves. Baron Hugel had been
received with great distinction by Runjit Sing ; I had come
in for a share of it. Every application which the shah made
to the government went through Capt. Wade; and yet he
allowed neither of us a chair, but kept us standing the whole
time: His brother, Shah Ziman, resided in a different part
of the building : we went to see him .also. We stood ; he
sat on the ground, pale, thin, dejected, and counting his
beads. Ile asked much about Kashmir, and said that the
shawls were not now so tine as they used to be. " I remem-
ber," lie said, " when the finer fabric could be drawn through
a ring." He was praising the beauty of Kashmir. " Yes,"
remarked the poor blind monarch, ."
Kashmir is certainly
beautiful, and the air and water are good ; but," he conti-
nued, with a melancholy shake of the head, and a sigh as
deep as I ever heard, " Kabul, Kabul! what is Kashmir to
Kabul? and I shall never see it again !" We were surprised
to hear from Captain Wade, that, in spite of their common
misfortunes and fate, the two brothers were not on the best
terms with each other. The next morning, Shah Shujah
sent us several trays, containing the best display of native
cookery that I had seen in the east : it had probably been
superintended in management by the ladies of the haram.—
Vigne's Visit to Kabul.

EFFECTS OF CIVILIZATION ON THE POLYNESIAN
Ist.Ons.—The principal improvements the natives have
made are in religious observances, and in the acquirement of
the rudiments of education ; the greater number can read the
Scriptures in the Tahitian tongue • many can write a legible
hand, and some few possess a good knowledge of arithmetic.
The women have been instructed in platting straw-cinnet, in
manufacturing hats and bonnets, in the use of the needle, and
in the duties of domestic servants. The men are, to a limited
extent, capable of working as shipwrights, blacksmiths, car-
penters, and joiners ; many also engage themselves to ships
frequenting their island, when they speedily perform the
duties of ordinary seamen with steadiness and ability. * *
The Tahitians are now a Christian nation. They worship
in the presbyterian form, and are under the pastoral care of
eight British missionaries, who reside in the principal dis-
tricts round the island, and have charge of the whole ; al-
though in some of the more remote villages native teachers
perform the clerical duties. No opinion is more questionable
than that hazarded upon the amount of religious feeling pos-
sessed by any large community ; but we are justified in be-
lieving that these islanders are good average Christians, if we
compare their spiritual state with that of the Christian world
at large. Many of them appear to be sincerely devout, and
steadfast both in faith and works; others are induced by hy-
pocrisy and interested motives, or influenced only by the pre-
vailing opinions of the day ; while a third, and by far the
most numerous class pass through the rontine of devotional
forms from a sense of propriety, or by the coercion of the
laws, but view religious matters with indifference, and would
be glad to escape from their restraints. The strictness, how-
ever, with which the island laws enforce the observance of
religious forms leaves the native but little latitude to gratify
his inclination in this respect ; consequently, on the Sabbath
the churches are filled with the entire population, clothed in
decent attire, and presenting an orderly and contented ap-
pearance, which makes a very favourable impression upon the
foreign visitor. That a large proportion of the natives are
well instructed, and impressed with the importance of their
new religion, may be inferred from the many of their number
that have emigrated as teachers to the idolatrous islands,
where, by their precept and example, they have done much
to disseminate improved habits and the pure doctrine of the

Christian faith. It is also bnt justice to admit, that crimes
of magnitude are now of rare occurrence amongst them, and
that the dishonesty they so prominently displayed upon their
early intimacy with Europeans Is now greatly diminished, or
merged into the more ambiguous form of mercantile shrewd-
71983.—Bennett's Whaling Voyaye.
THE EASTERN STATE-PRIEST or TIIE HIGHEST ORDER,
oR GOOROO.—The number of Bramin sanneasis is small.
Under the name of Gooroos and Swamalus they may be re-
puted the bishops of the different sects, who exercise a juris-
diction over all their inferiors in every thing relating to reli-
gion and caste. They also perform certain ceremonies, ana-
logous to the rite of confirmation granted by English prelates,
whether in England or India. They are supported entirely
by the willing contribution of their disciples; which, never-
theless, are so burdensome, that a Gooroo never can continue
long in one place. * * An hundred pagodas, or
£36 15s. sd. a-day, is as little as can be decently offered to
such a personage, or nearly £14,000 per annum. The Rajah
of Tanjore has been said to give his Gooroo 250 pagodas, or
£9l 18s. 61d. per diem, when honoured by his visits. The
Gooroos travel in great state, with elephants, horses, palan-
quins, and an immense train of disciples. They generally
travel at night, to avoid, Moslem or European scorn. They
claim more than veneration ; they consider themselves entit
led to adoration. On the. approach of a Gooroo to a place,
every llindoo of pure birth must go to meet him. The other
classes are not admitted to his presence.-21funie's Continen-
tal India.

AN IRISH WaxE.—The following rich specimen of Irish
anecdote is related among. other electioneering stories, by
Sir Barry Boyle, an Irish Mintber of Parliament, and a
prominent character in Charles O'Malley, the new work by
the author of Barry Lorrequer. The person on whom the
joke is played off, is represented to be a sort of under secre-
tary a litte'rateur, come expressly to remark and write upon
that curious specimen of the genus porno, the Galwegian in
his own locality :—" Peter,' said Mr. Macnamara, turning
to the servant behind him, who's dead hereabouts?' Sorry
one, yer honour, since the scrimmage at Portumna ; the place
is peaceable.' Who died lately in the neighbourhood ?'
"flie Widow Macbride, yer honour.' Couldn't they ,take
her up again? Peter, my friend here never saw a wake."
I'm .afeerd not, for it was the boys roasted her, and she
wouldn't be a dacent corpse .for to show a stranger,' said
Peter, in a whisper. Mr. Pettyman shuddered at these
peaceful indications of thesneighbourhood, and said nothing.
' Well, then, Peter, tell Jemmy Divine to take the old mus-
ket in my bedroom, and go over to the Clunagh bog, he
can't go wrong, there's twelve there that never pay a half-
penny rent, and when it's done, let him give notice to the
neighbourhood, that we'll have a rousing wake.' You don't
mean, Mr. Macnamara, you don't mean to say —,' stam-
mered out the cockney, with a face like a ghost. 'I: only
mean to say,' said Phil., laughing, that you're keeping the
decanter very long at your right hand.' Burke contrived to
interpose before the Englishman could ask any explanation
of what he had just heard—and for some minutes he could
only wait an impatient anxiety—when a loud report of a gun
close beside ttie house attracted the attention of the guests
—the next moment old Peter entered, his face radiant with
smiles. Well, what's that ?' said Macnamara. 'Twas
Jimmy, yer honour; as the evening was rainy he need to
take of the neighbours, and he hadn't to go far, for Andy
Moore was going home, and he brought him down at once.'
' Did he shoot him ?' said Mr. Prettyman, while cold perspi-
ration broke over his forehead. 'Did be murder the man ?'
Sorra murder,' said Peter disdainfully ; but why wouldn't
he shoot him when the master bid him ?' "—Charles O'Malley.
PURGATORY.—" Three pound,' says I, be-gorra ye
might as well ax me to give you the rock of Cashel.' I'm
sorry for ye, Mickey,' says he, gatherin' up the reins to ride
off, ' I'm sorry for you; and itie•day will come when the ne-
glect of your poor father will he a sore stroke agin yourself.'
Wait a bit, your reverence,' says I, wait a bit: would forty
shillings get him out?' Av coarse it wouldn't,' says he.
Maybe,' says I, coaxing, maybe, av you said that his son
was a poor boy that lived by his indhustry, and that the times
was bad?' Not the least use,' says he. Arrah, but it's
bard-hearted they are,' thinks I ; • well, see now, I'll give
you the money—but I can't afford it all at oncet—but I'll
pay five shillings a week—will that do?' I'll do my en-
deavours,' says Father Roach ; and I'll speak to them to
trate him peaceably, in the mean time.' Long life to yer
reverence, and do. Well, here now, here's five hogs to be-
gin with; and, musha, but I never thought I'd be spending
my loose change that a way.' Father Roach put the six tin-
pinnies in the pocket of his black leather breeches, said some-
thing in Latin, and bid me good morning, and rode off."—
Charles O'Malley.

GALWAY PRECEDENCE.—Now came a moment of diffi-
culty; and one which, as testing Mr. Blake's tact, he would
gladly have seen devolve upon some other shoulders ; for he
well knew that the marshalling a room full of mandarins,
blue, green, and yellow, was " cakes and gingerbread" to
ushering a Galway party to dinner. First there was Mr.
Miles Bodkin, whose grandfather would have been a lord if
Cromwell had not hanged him one fine morning. • Then,
Mrs. Moses Blake's first husband was promised-the title of
Kilmacud if ever it was restored, whereas Mrs. French of
Knocktumnor's mother was then at law for a title; and
lastly, Mrs. Joe Burke was fourth cousin to Lord Mari-
earth!, as is or will be every Burke from this to the day of
judgment. Now, luckily for her prospects. the lord was
alive ; and Mr. Blake, remembering a very sage adage, about
" dead lions," &c., solved the difficulty atnnce, by gracefully
tucking the lady under his arm, and leading the way ; the
others soon followed; the priest of Portumna and my un-
worthy self bringing up the rear.—Charles O'Malley.
MICKEY DELANY AND nrs PaiEsT.—One day I was
coming home from Athlone market, by myself on the road,
when Father Roach overtook me. " Devil a one ame take
any notice of you now," says I, " and we'll see what'll come
out of it." So the priest rid up, and looked ine straight in
the face. " Mickey," says he, " Mickey." " Father," says
I. "Is that the way you salute your clargy," says he, "with
your caubeen on your head ?" Faix," says 1, "it's little
ye mind whether it's an or aff,
for you never take the trouble
to say by your leave, or damn your soul, or any other polite-
ness, when-we meet." " YoU're an ungrateful creature,"
says he, " and if you only knew, " you'd be trembling in
your skin before me, this minute." " Devil a tremble."
says I, " atter walking six miles this way.'; " Mickey,"
says he, changing his voice, and putting his head down close
to me, " Mickey, I saw your' father last night." " The saints
be merciful to us," said I, " did ye ?" " I did," 'said he.
" Tear-an-ages," says I, " (lid he tell you what he did with
the new corduroys he bought in the fair?"—Charles
