SAGACITY OF THE ELEPHANT.—A friend of mine, who
had resided at Ceylon, went to the London Zoological Gar-
dens. There was at that time an elephant, a native of Cey-
lon, belonging to the society, in the gardens; be at first took
no particular notice of my friend, showing him no more at-
tention than he did to any other of his other visitors ; but
when the poor animal heard himself addressed in the Cinga-
lese tongue, he exhibited the most unequivocal signs of joy
and pleasure; turning his trunk about, and carressing his
new friend with all the delight of one who in " a strange
land" welcomes the arrival of another from his native
country.—Notes on Nets, by the Hon. and Rev. C. Bathurst.
Among the most conspicuous English residents in Boulogne,
is the once celebrated and eccentric amateur actor, Romeo
Coates, Esq. He is greatly respected by the inhabitants,
both French and English, and acts with great liberality and
courtesy to all, and to his poor countrymen he is a kind
benefactor. In many respects, so great is the influence of
Romeo Coates at Boulogne, that he sets the fashions there.
He was at the races last week in a carriage and four with
two outriders, who were dressed in white satin, trimmed with
light blue. He looked very gay, and the turn-out was truly
a splendid one. The dress of Romeo Coates is still very
peculiar. On Saturday morning he was walking on the vier
at Boulogne, which he frequently does for hours, dressed in
a blue velvet frock coat, yellow pantaloons, and Hessian
boots. His lady, who is a beautiful woman, much younger
than himself, generally accompanies him, They evidently
do all they can to attract notice at Boulogne.
OSTRICHES.—According to native testimony, the male os-
trich sits on the nest (which is merely a hollow space scooped
out in the sand) during the night, the better to defend the
eggs from jackals and other nocturnal plunderers ; towards
morning he brummels, or utters a grumbling sound, for the
female to come and take his place; she sits on the eggs dur-
ing the cool of the morning and evening. In the middle of
the day, the pair, leaving the eggs in charge of the sun, and
"forgetting that the foot may crush them, or the wild beast
break, them," employ themselves in feeding off the tops
of bushes in the plain near their nest. Looking aloft at this
time of day, a white Egyptian vulture may be seen soaring
in mid air, with a large stone between his talons. Having
carefully surveyed the ground below him, he suddenly lets
fall the stone, and then follows it in rapid descent. Let the
hunter run to the spot, and 'he will find a nest of probably
a score of eggs (each equal in size to 24 hen's eggs), some of
them broken by the vulture. The jackal is said to roll the
eggs together to break them, whilst the hyena pushes them
off with its nose to bury them at a distance.—Alexander's
Ex-
pedition. of Discovery.
INFANTICIDE IN TAHITI AND SOCIETY ISLANDS.—During
the visit of the deputation, our respected friend, G. Bennett,
Esq., was our guest for three or four months; and, on one
occasion, while conversing on the subject, he expressed a
wish to obtain accurate knowledge of the extent to which
this cruel system had prevailed. Three women were sitting
in the room at the time, making European garments, under
Mrs. W.'s direction; and, after replying to Mr. Bennett's
inquiries, I said, " I have no doubt but that each of these
women have destroyed some of their children." Looking at
them with an expression of surprise and incredulity, Mr. B.
exclaimed, " Impossible ! such motherly, respectable women
could never have been guilty of so great an atrocity."—
" Well," I added, " We'll ask them." Addressing the first,
I said to her, •` Friend, how many children have you
destroyed ?" She was startled at my question, and at first
charged me with unkindness, in harrowing up her feelings
by bringing the destruction of her babes to her remembrance;
but, upon hearing the object of my inquiry, she replied with
a faultering voice, " I have destroyed nine ;"—the second,
with eyes suffused with tears, said I have destroyed seven ;"
and the third informed us that she had destroyed five. Thus
three, individuals casually selected, had killed one-and-twenty
children ! but I am happy to add, that these mothers were,
at the time of this conversation, and continued so as long as
I knew them, consistent members of the church under my
care.—Williams' Missions to the South Seas.
MISFORTUNES OF AN HEIR-AT-LA W . —The misfortunes of
an heir-at-law, "be it then known to all to whom these pre-
sents come greeting," commence from the hour of his birth.
There is a period in married life when the olive branches begin
to thicken, and then, indeed, a child may venture upon its
existence, without the fear of being killed with kindness for
his trouble • but the birth of a son and heir is a very different
matter. The arrival of a personage of such vast impot tance
is an affair of so much joy, and kicks up so much confusion,
that the whole family is in conspiracy against him. The
young gentleman is at once constituted a common centre,
round which every thing turns. In the drawing-room, in the
nursery, and the servants' hall, there is such a stir made to
welcome him into the world that the long odds are decidedly
against his arriving either at man's estate or his father's.
Every one must dandle him at the risk of breaking his neck;
and every one must feed at the risk of choaking him. From
my earliest recollection to my tenth year, life was a rapid
alternation of gorging and of physic; and between the cook
and the apothecary, it was a miracle how I escaped poison.
My mother was never satisfied that I was in safet! , and that,
too, not without good reason ; for I certainly was as sickly a
brat as ever swallowed pill or powder, so that the physician
was in almost daily attendance. While I was crammed
at all hours of the day like a pincushion, because the young
heir was to be refused nothing, I was nightly supersaturated
with cakes, ices, fruit, and wine at the family dinner table by
my parents through fondness, by the guests, if not in sheer
malice, at least to get rid of my troublesome importunities.
Thus primed and loaded for indigestion, and sent to bed to
sleep off the consequent fever as I best could, when I shrieked
aloud under the horrors of a night-mare dream, the nurses
gave me laudanum "to make the darling quiet;" and the
doctor followed, as a matter of course, in the morning, with
his infernal black dose, to cure at once the disease and the
effects of the surreptitious sleeping drops.—New Monthly
Magazine.
AN IRISH ELECTIONEERING SPEECH; OR A BRILLIANT
BIT OF BLARNEv.—Women of Kilshindy ! the feelings of
my heart irresistibly impel me to address myself to you. I
ant come to render homage to your numberless perfections.
I lay my devotions at your feet; I implore your sympathy,
your aid. I solemnly protest that I would- far prefer the
*loss of my election, if supported by your influence, to success
the most brilliant and decisive if acquired through the ener-
gies exclusively of men. (Hurra.) But this, my lovely
countrywomen, is a totally impracticable case, for your ma-
gic aid will invest me in a panoply of proof, and wreath my
brow with victory's luxuriant laurel. (Great cheering.) My
adorable countrywomen ! does not the genial fire of patriot-
ism animate your breasts ! 0, yes; it glows within the sa-
cred temple of your swelling bosoms with a lustre more.in-
tense than our ruder sex can possibly appreciate. Women
of Kilshindy you are all either married, or you hope to be
married. (Roars of laughter ) Would you not wish the
husbands of your choice, the beloved companions of your
lives, to bear upon their fronts the proud stamp of liberty ?
(A tornado of applause.) Would you not wish to transmit
unimpaired to your posterity the glorious inheritance of free-
dom ? 0, I know you would. The elevating sentiment
sparkles in your glance, and beams upon your smile. Exert
then in the cause of Catholic Ireland, the magic fascinations
of the female eye—(shouts of laughter)—the irresistible
witchery of the female tongue; make the arch boy Cupid
auxiliary to our patriotic efforts—(storms of laughter)—ex-
ert the thousand charms with which dame nature has so
lavishly endowed you; and if these don't produce the de-
sired effect, congeal your melting maiden tenderness to ice;
dart frowns of horror and reproof upon the man who would
perpetuate the stamp of servitude which tyranny has branded
on the manly brows of Irishmen. Rouse the electors of
Kilshindy—excite them to national exertion, by fair means
or rough ! If possessed of the aid of your artillery, my be-
loved countrywomen, I confidently promise that my struggle
will be brief, glorious, and triumphant.—The New Novel
" The Wife Hunter," by Denis Moriarty.
SUMMARY OF THE EFFECTS OF VARIOUS RAILWAYS ON
THE AMOUNT OF INTERCOURSE.—By referring to our notes
A and B it will be seen that on the Stockton and Darlington
line the passenger traffic, prior to the establishment of the
railway, amounted to 4,000 persons in the year; it now ex-
ceeds 16,000. On the Bolton line, the average weekly num-
ber of passengers is 2,500. whereas the number of coach
journeys out and in per week, which the railway has super-
seded, amounted only to twenty-eight, carrying perhaps, on
a weekly average, about 280 or 310 persons. On the New-
castle and Carlisle road, prior to the railway, the whole num-
ber of persons the public coaches were licensed to carry in a
week was 341, or, both ways, 686; now the average daily
number of passengers by the railway, for the whole length,
namely, 471 miles, is 2'28, or 1,596 in the week. The num-
ber of passengers on the Dundee and Newtyle line exceeds,
at this time, 50,000 annually; the estimated number of per-
sans who performed the same journey, previous to the open-
ing of the railway, having been 4.000. Previous to the open-
ing of the railway between Liverpool and Manchester, there
were about 400 passengers daily, or 146,000 a-year, travelling
'between those places by coaches; whereas the present num-
ber, by railway alone, exceeds 500,000. In foreign countries
the results arising from the same cause are equally, if not
more, striking. The number of persons who usually passed
by the road between Brussels and Antwerp was 75,000 in the
year; but since the railroad has been opened from the former
place to Malines, it has increased to 51.X),000; and since it
was carried all through to Antwerp, the number has exceeded
a million. The opening of a branch from Malines to Ter-
monde appears to have added '200,000 to the latter number;
so that the passenger traffic of that railroad, superseding a
road traffic of only 75,000 persons, now amounts to 1,200,000.
It is remarkable that on this, as on most other railroads, the
greater number of passengers are those who travel short dis-
tances, being as two to one compared with those who go the
whole distance. This appears from a statement read by Mr.
Loch, before the Statistical Society of Manchester. showing
that between April 30th and August 15, 1836, 122,417 persons
travelled the whole distance, and 214,831 short distances;
chiefly to and from Malines. He further states. that "nearly
one-third of the whole revenue of the railway is derived from
travelling to and from Malines, and paying a fare of about 60
centimes, or nearly sixpence sterling." On the same au-
thority we learn another fact, most deserving of attention in
calculating the probable success of a railway in such a coun-
try as Ireland, viz.:—that nearly three-fifths of the whole re-
• venue of the company are derived from passengers of the
lower class, raying a very low fare,—lrish Rgaway Report,

THE MAID OF SARAGOSSA.—Having put up our horses at
a stable in the neighbourhood, we went straight to the house,
and Major B—, having informed a domestic that he had
business with the senora, we were ushered into an upper
apartment, where we awaited her entrance for some minutes.
At length the door opened, and a lady of middle stature, but
finely proportioned, made her appearance. Her counte-
nance was of the most pleasing cast, her dark eyes beaming
with expression, her nose slightly arched, and her mouth dis-
playing, when she spoke or smiled, a row of teeth like po-
lished ivory, and giving instant animation to her whole coun-
tenance. Her age did not appear to accord with what a re-
ference to historic data would attribute to her; for, though
approaching the "mezzo del cammin," the colour on her
cheeks, and the lively expression of her features, still arrayed
her in the mantle of youth. She received us in the most
courteous manner, and conversed for a considerable time
with Major B , who, as my interpreter, alluded to the
interest attached to her character in England, and to the
fact of her portrait having been drawn, not only by our
artists, but by the greatest of our poets; of which she seemed
to be aware, but by no means vain, and testified her acknow-
ledgment of' the compliment by a smile of very winning
sweetness. It is said she had numerous offers of marriage
since her residence at Hernani; but on that point she is in-
exorable—a determination which enhances the interest of
her character, and the universal regard in which she is held.
—Varge's Rambles.
EXTRAORDINARY SECT OF FANATICS IN INDIA.—(From
the United Service Tournal.)—Ever since I have been in In-
dia, I have heard of a class of Mussulmans, the disciples of a
sect or saint, by name Shaikh Ruffai, who, in order to im-
press the unbelievers with the truth of the Mussulman faith,
imparted to his followers the power of plunging swords and
daggers into their bodies, cutting off their tongue, frying it,
and putting it together again, cutting off the head and limbs,
scooping out the eye, and, in truth, doing with their bodies
whatever it pleased them to do; all of whic Col. G , in
company with a clergyman, a Mr. R—, had seen, when
the latter grew sick and ran out of the place, declaring it was
the power of Satan, which to this day he believes, and the
colonel that it is done through the power of the magic art, at
which I, of course, laughed, and declared that, so soon as a
man of the regiment (by name Shaikh Kureem, one of these
Ruffai) should return from furlough, I would witness the ex-
hibition.—A large tent was accordingly pitched, and fifty
lamps furnished, and plates full of arsenic, and quantities of
a plant of the cactus tribe filled with a milky juice, a drop of
which, if it fall on your skin, blisters it, and a vast quantity
of the common glass bangles, or bracelets, worn by the
women, and daggers, and swords, and things like thick. steel
skewers, and other horrid looking weapons like a butcher's
steel, only with a large handle covered with chains, and about
twenty Ruffais to beat all manner of drums; and so, when all
Was ready, about five of the officers left the mess-table with
myself, and along with us about a hundred sepoys crowded
into the tent. When we were seated, and silence obtained,
the work commenced by a sort of chaunt from their sacred
books, the drum-beaters joining in and keeping time; the
chaunt increased at length both in noise and velocity, until,
having worked themselves into an ecstacy, they seized hold
of the instruments, the body kept in a sort of swinging mo-
tion, some plunged the skewer instruments, one through each
cheek, another through the tongue, a third through the throat,
and then commenced stabbing themselves with swords and
daggers, and all sorts of nasty instruments. Others cut off
their tongue, and, having roasted it in the fire, put it in their
mouth again, when it immediately united ; they ate the blis-
tering milk-plant and the arsenic, whilst others munched the
glass bangles, as though they were the greatest delicacies:
This was all done within half a yard of my knees, for they
came up close to me with many lamps, in order that I might
see there was no deception ; and I do assure you that it made
me feel sick, and produced any thing but an agreeable sen-
sation on my mind, for to this moment I know not what to
think of it. 1 am not superstitious; and, although the
colonel and numerous most respectable natives had declared
to me that they did actually do these things, and that, if a
sense were to be in any manner trusted, they had seen it all
done, I would, nevertheless, not believe it. I was told be-
forehand that it required faith and purity on the part of the
performer, and that then not a drop of blood would follow,
but that, otherwise, a few drops of blood would sometimes
follow the instruments, and the performer would receive
some slight injury.—On taking my departure from the tent
I happened to say that I should, at all events, think more
honourably of their prowess if I saw them exhibited in the
face of open day, and divested of noise, motion, parapher-
nalia, &c. On the following, day, whilst reclining on my
couch, at about two o'clock, reading an English newspaper,
without a servant or a soul near me, in rushed their Kasee
(priest or judge,) his hand full of instruments, which, throw-
ing upon the ground, he seized one, plunged it through his
cheek on the left side, another on the right, a third through
his tongue upwards, so that it stuck into his nose, another
through his throat; he then stabbed himself with a bright and
sharp creese, which entered his body about three inches; not
a drop of blood fell: he was going to cut off his tongue, when
I begged of him to desist. I was, in truth, perfectly nauseated
at the sight. The man was in a state of frenzy, and really he
looked frightful, his face stuck full of instruments, and stab-
bing and cutting himself with all his might. I sang out for
some people, and turned him out. I have now told you what
I have seen, and yet I will not ask you to' believe it, for 1
know not myself what to think. There are many persons of
very strong minds in other respects who firmly believe, and
who do not hesitate to declare their belief, that, although
driven out of Christendom, demonology, witchcraft, necro-
mancy, and the entire list of black and forbidden arts and
powers, are abroad and in full existence in India. And I
must declare that I will never again trust my senses if I did
not see all that I have told you. I examined the instruments
—I saw them drawn out of the flesh, and no scar, or blood,
or mark left ; I saw also a man eat and swallow three ounces
of arsenic, and crunch and swallow glass bangles innumer-
able; and yet, although "seeing is believing," I can scarcely
sav that I believe what before a courtof justice I would swear
I I had seen.
SIAMESE MODE OF DETECTING A THIEF.—Like all igno-
rant and uneducated people, they are superstitious. With-
out referring to a belief in ghosts, witchcraft, lucky and un-
lucky days, this trait is amusingly observed in their mode of
detecting a thief. A gentleman, who has been long a resi-
dent at Bankok, related to me the following anecdote :—An
individual lost from his apartment two bars of gold. Imme-
diately on missing them, all those persons suspected of the
theft were called together, and a conjuror summoned to de-
clare who was the guilty individual. He came provided with
several square bars of a metallic appearance, six or seven
inches long, and thick as the little finger, which, on exami-
nation, proved to be a species of clay. He charged each
person with the theft, and asked individually whether any
among them knew any thing of the gold, and was answered
in the negative. He then lighted a small wax candle, and
stuck upon each side of it a tictil, obtained from the man who
hail lost the gold, and, muttering an invocation or spell, took
a piece of clay, and three tunes very ceremoniously raised it
above his head. Then measuring it very carefully by the
little finger, he broke it into pieces an inch and a half long,
and gave to each suspected person three of them, which they
were directed to chew as fast as possible, and prove their in-
nocence by spitting, when the mastication was complete.
All set to work chewing, and soon all were trying to spit;
and as upon the success of the effort depends the innocence
or guilt of the accused in the opinion of the Siamese, the
scene may be readily imagined. In this case there were ten
attempting to spit, and at last, after much labour, all suc•
ceeded, except a girl of fifteen, who was finally pronounced
guilty ; and the conjuror, with the candle and ttc(ils, walked
off in triumph. The test by clay is so much in favour that,
upon this ordeal alone, persons are often heavily ironed, and
daily flogged, until they confess, or the stolen property be'
returned. In the present instance, the poor girl received
only a promise of such treatment, and probably owes her
escape altogether to the proverbial faithlessness of the
Siamese to their words.—Raschenberger's Narrative.
MancoeiNt—A TALE OF VENICE.—It was midnight; the
great clock had struck, and was still echoing through every
porch and gallery in the quarter of St. Mark, when a young
citizen, wrapped in his cloak, was hastening home from an
interview with his mistress. His step was light, for his heart
was so. Her parents had just consented to their marriage,
and the very day was named. " Lovely Giulietta !" he cried,
" and shall 1 then call the mine at last? Who was ever so
blessed as thy Marcolini ?" But, as he spoke, he stopped;
for something was glittering on the pavement before him.
It was a scabbard of rich workmanship; and the discovery,
what was it but an earnest of good fortune ? " Rest thou
there!" he cried, thrusting it gaily into his belt; " if another
claims thee not, thou halt changed masters!" And on he
went as before, humming the burden of a song which he and
his Giulietta had been singing together. But how little we
know what the next minute will bring forth ! He turned by
the church of St. Geminiana, and in three steps he met the
watch. A murder had just been committed. The Senator
Renaldi had been found dead at his door, the dagger left in
his heart; and the unfortunate Marcolini was dragged away
for examination. The place, the time, everything, served to
excite, to justify suspicion; and no sooner had he entered
the guard-house, than an evidence appeared against him.
The bravo in his flight had thrown away his scabbard ; and,
smeared with blood, with blood not yet dry, it was now in
the belt of Marcolini. Its patrician ornaments struck every
eye ; and when the fatal dagger was produced and compared
with it, not a doubt of his guilt remained. Still there is in
the innocent an energy and a composure; an energy when
they speak, and a composure when they are silent, to which
none can be altogether insensible; and the judge delayed
for some time to pronounce the sentence, though he was a
near relation of the. dead. At length, however, it came; and
Marcolini lost his life, Giuletta her reason. Not many years
afterwards the truth revealed itself, the real criminal in his
last moments confessing the crime ; and hence the custom in
Venice, a custom that long prevailed, for a crier to cry out
in the court before the sentence was passed, " Ricordatevi
del povero Marcolini !"—Remember the poor Marcolini.—
Great, indeed, was the lamentation throughout the city, and
the judge, dying, directed that henceforth and for ever a
mass should be sung every night in the ducal church for his
own soul and the soul of Marcolini, and the souls of all who
had suffered by an unjust judgment. Some land on the
Brenta was left by him for the purpose; and still is the mass
. sung in the chapel; still every night, wheu the great square
is illuminating,
.and the casinoes are filling fast with the gay
. and the dissipated, a bell is rung as for a service and a ray
. of light is seen to issue from a small Gothic window that looks
towards the place of execution, the place where on a scaffold
Alarcolini breathed bib last.—Rogol's
