lance, and obtain some of tine, machinery,
to establish a printing press at Mount Leba-
non, for the purpose Of preparing, and there
distributing correct editions OF the Sacred
Scriptures in the Syriac Language. Al
though Mount Lebanon is under the 'iominI-
on Of Christian Prince, nearly all the
rest Of Syria is governed by. and composed
OF Turks. Not few of these have lately
become Christians, for the fanatic fury Of
their faithseems every day abating. To
gain many, very many, from Mahometan-
ISM over to Christianity, little more seems
wanting than to distribute copies of the BIZ
bic among the Syrian Turks, in their own
language but to prepare such works has
been found heretofore generally impracti-
cable. The editions of the Bible printed
in this country, for most parts of the East,
have, from their total inacouracy, been ut
terly useless. We believe, we may VEN
ture to say, without any offence to the learn
ed, that none but native ought to attempt
to be the cerrector'o of Syriac Press. A
single mistake in the placing of a point,
may make the same word convey mean
ing the most ludicrous, for what the author
intended to be of a precisely opposite cha
racter. As the Archbishop undertakes
himself to be the corrector of the press a
bout to be established, and as the learned
Prelate has travelled far, relying on the
liberality and Christian feeling of England,
we sincerely trust, that the strangers re-
ception here may be such as his sacred
mission and charac er eminently deserve.

DANDY CAUGHT IN GOOSE HOUSE,
The following roguery we copy from n.
Newark Ceniinel of Monday.
On Wednesday evening last, mos, en-.
rious and daring burglary, was effected !,
one ofthe public houses in the north part Of
this town. The landIady about retiring lor
the night, discovered that part of her own
as we'll as her daughters wearing apparel
was gone. She communicated the tac,
her husband, who posted off to the Newark
bridge to enquire if any person had passed
with bundle. Being answ cred in the ne.
gative, the landlord fastened home, and
with lighted lantern went 10 bis stables
to examine there. Here he discovered
person richly clad in woman's apparel with
silk coat on as an outer garment-and
little way offa bundle nicely tied up with
lady's bonnet and lace veil, ready for q
journey. Her ladyship soon moved trom
her couch Of hay /; and though ordered to
stop mounted the fence like deer. The
landlord thinking this Adonis, was not with.
out her beau, secured the bundle as we'll As
the lace veil and bonnet, and gave the a.
larm to those in the house. For time no
one was seen or further discovery made
On opening the bundle it as found to con.

time in vain, till the crash of rear garden
fence proclaimed that some one wa, ps,s.
ing; thlther the landlord hasted, and had
again the sight of person dressed in silk
apparel, whom he saw enter back door Of
a certain dwelling house. Entrance Was
demanded out Tor some time refused. AT
last the door was opened, and IN conjnc.
ton with several neighbors, search was
made but in vain, except finding silk coat
IN The Cellar. An escape seemed impossi-
bic as the house was literally surrounded.
On the point Of giving up ali further search,
goose peu was discovered aside the
dwelling house. One of the COMPANY sug.
gessed examining that place. The family
protested against distur bling the pen, as
there were two geese setting there. The
goose house Was eXamined-and who was
here? The feathered race made no cry
against their nocturnal visitors. But here
was the Dandy himself, who entreateo cor
mercy. Whilst in the cellar he had pul on
coat and pantaloon over his silks; and
by removing stone in cellar wall got
into the goose pen, and by replacing the
stone excited no suspicion. The Parties
went off to magistrates, and on unstrip-
ping our modern Dandy, there were found
on Tim lady's linen, two flannel petit
coats, one cambria and two silk gowns
