The author of "Tour through Southern Ecypt.
and Palestine, in the years 1921 and 1892" gives
the following description of the Raiah of AIysoors
Co0ch.
1ln the morning we took an airing in the Raiah's
elephant carriage, which is by far the most magni-
hcent conveyance ever saw; the Genius of Alad-
din could scarcely have done more Its interior is
double sofa for six persons, covered with dark
green velvet and gold, surmonnted by an awning of
cloth of gold, in the shape of two small scalloucd
domes, meeting over the centre, and surrounded bv
a richly ornameDted vcrandah, supported by light,
elegant, uted, gilt pillars; the whole is capable of
containing sixty persons, and is about twenty-two
feet IN height. Ii moves four wheels; the hinder
ones eight feet IN diameter, with breadth of twelve
feet between them. Iii drawn by six immense ele-
plants with driver on eath,) harnessed to the
carriage by traces, as in England, and their huge
heads covered with sort of cap made of richly en-
broIdcred cloth. The pace at which they moved
was that of slow ro, of about miles an hour:
they were very steady, and the springs of the carr-
age particularly easy. As it is cranc-nccked, the
elephants turned round with il coming back with
the greatest facility. The shape of the body is OK
trcmely elegant, resembling fiat scollop she'll, and
painted dark green and gold. The elephants are
an exact match, but, stated, of,an enormous size.
The whole was constructed by native workmcn, as
sisted by one half-casc Frcnchman, under the i'm
mediate directions Of the Raah,"

DOMESTIC LIFE.

NO man ever prospcred in the world without the
consent and cooperation of his wife, Ifshe unites
Ill mutual endeavors, or rewards his abour with an
endearing smile, with what spirit and perseverance
does nc apply to bis vocation with what confidence
does he resort TO his merchandise or farm fIy over
lana san over seas; meet difficulty and encounter
danger-h nc knows that he is not spending his
Strength IN vain but that his labour will be reward
eu ny the sweets Of home How delightful it is to
have friend to cheer, and n COMPANION TO soothe
tne solitary hours of grief and pain. Solitude and
disappointment enter into the history of every mans
e andh is but half provided for his VOYAGE, who
hnds but an associate for happy hours while for his
months OF darkness aud distress, no sympathizing
partner is prepared.

WEsTcHEsTER, (PA.) Feb. %.

The Packet Ship that took out the Presidents
Message to England carried it in fifteen days. The
intercourse between this country and England is SO
improved that it is really, less of task to go from
Philadelphia or New-York to Liverpool, than to 60
from either of those places Pittsburgh There are
now three lines of Packet Ships from New York to
Liverpool, and two lines from Philadelphia
Packets sail on a day certain, and passenger NAV
calculate, within day two, how long it will take
him TO visit London and return. The Ships too, are
fitted up in handsome style. The last of JAM |
was OH board the ship Montezuma, belonging to T.
P. Cope & Sons; her cabin is extremely convenient,
and beautiful. There are few things better WORTH
seeing in the city, than those fine Packet Ships The
cabin is lined with PANEL work. the frame being of
mahogany, and the PANELS of birds eye maple,
highly finished and polished. 1t is doubted whether
there Is parouT in the whole city elegantly fin
ished. The floors covered with rich carretinc.
and the curtains of the births, damask silk of GRIM
son and pale straw colour, Separate apartments
are provided for the ladies. Avoyagc in such YES
sci, one would suppose, would be mere tour oplea-
sure.-Record.
The Presidents Message was first received in
London by the British Packet, whose mail arrived
at the General Post Office at an early hour OH the
morning of the 25th of December

honorable business--one knocked at the door, when
our gentleman came with light aud opened it, one
of the hcroines slipped in, extinguished the light

THE PRESIDENCY.

The Editor of the leading Republican paper in
Connecticut states, that least nine-tenths of the
Republicans of that state are inimical to Mr. Craw
ford, and consequently in favor of Mr. Adams. And
the True American, which has been long considered
the organ of the Republican party in New-Jersey.
says-"ln New-Jersey, though much has been pub
ished against Mr. Adams, and but little in his favor
we do not believe public sentiment has undergone
any material change but consider him as still by far

NiEssRs. EDITORS: Il appears that France is
preparing Brest, fleet OF eight ships of the line
five trigates of large class, sixty-eight guns EACH
four common 'figates, and five corvettes. France
has assured England that this fleet is not destined
against South America. This armament cannot be
destined to reinforce the French Islands, for the feet
is more than is necessary. This fleet is destined
ogol,a 81. DOn,igo or .New Orleans. Let those
whose duty it is, look TO il. FORESIGHT
The London Courier, OF the 10Th January, pre-
dicted tha3hiS expedition was destined against one
OF the South American Republics. The London
STAR OF the 18th, says 1t had amy effect on the
stock exchange, and adds, "Thc Times takes 10 no.
tice of it. The Chronicle chronicles it dersively
The Post puts no faith in it. The Ledger enters it
IN Its day bOok-a wastc-book would Ina We been the
proper place for it. The Herald speaks doubling
ly; but the .Nep Times and the British Press, con-
vert the astounding article of intelligence into ridi-
cuic." Whatever may be its destination we do not,
by any means, agree with our correspondent, in con-
sidering New Orleans one of the probable points
OF destination, though his character and standing en-
lille his opinion to publication. 1t seems more pro-
babe to us that the destination of the squadron is
not hostile one at all We send squadrons once
or twice every year to the Mediterranean the W.
Indies, and the Pacific: but no power suspects us
therefore of any views Of conquest or of warfare,
against any other than the hostcs humari geueris-
the pirates and slavc-traders, whom it is the duty
and interest OF every nation to make war upon.

Montreal paper remarks on the debates in Con-
gress, on the Greek question, " The speech of the
mover Mr. Webster, has great merit, although his
TASK was no easy one considering the nature of the
subject, and the limited nature of his motion Those
OF McSsrs. Wood, Randolph and Clay, are mastery.
Had these debates not fallen short of the President
Message, they would have produced more won
derful effect. On the whole, although the cloquence
of the American Senate that fixed and histo-
rIcal character, that supposed and atestcd perma-
nsncy of subject, which gives effect to English ora
fry, and partakes more of the dilactic and abstract
style, even reader of English debates must be
struck with the great political talents displayed on
TINS occasion; nor do we know one record that
shows deeper or keener views of policy OF which is
supported with superior powers of expression

Great preparations are making in England, for
working the long disused mines of Mexico. A
London paper states, that the great mine of yalen-
cia IS now English property. 1t has produced more
than any mine i'll the world-the profits in some
years, 1t Is SAID, have been million and halfstcr-
ling mining company has been formed in Lon
don, the constitution of which is to "combine thc
advantages of Enhlish Board of Directors. and
general Incorporation of Mexican interests with the
personal influence, local knowledge and practical
experience, which exist i'll that country in connection
with tho company"

In a conversation on the merits of the successive
British Minister'S during the late European wars, it
was observed in dspraisc of Pitt that he suffered no
man of talents in the Cabinet, while some of his
successors adopted amore liberal system. "Sir,"
said Sir p. Francis, in his peculiar style, owed
the living man no love; but will not trample on
any man in his coffin. Pitt could fear no antago-
mist, and therefore could want no auxiliary. Jack
