THE NAVY.--The late and pending Trials by
Courts Martial of a number Of Navy officers, are
supposed by some to have tendency to inture the
Navy in public opinion and in the worlds estimation.
WHY should this be- the result ? The number of al
legged offences only proves that the officers are com.
posed Of the same materials that other men are
subject to the same passions and controlled by the
same propensities; and that commission in the
Navy does not submate their nature. On the other
hand, these courts show the vigilance and energy
of the Government in detecting and furnishing mis-
conduct, where it exists, and in bringing out, and
holding up TO the world, in the quality OF gold tried
by fire, those who have been wroDgfully accused
and are wherng in the chilly mists OF slandcrous
udium. Instead OF eneryating this great right arm
Of the nation, these calculated TO strength
en- it, by looping off offensive members, setting the
fear Of Courts Martial before the eyes of those who
may require admonitory beacons to keep them off
shore and letting the whole Navy know, as we would
a noble steed by occasional pull that there is a
strong rein and nervous arm upon them. No man
ever thought the less of an officer who had been ac
rused and honorabIy acquitted before Court Mar
tia and no lover Of the Navy would wish to an
offender suffered 10 remain in it. Another thing
ought to be considered: officers in the Navy are
subjec, to laws which citizens not, and would be
court martiaed for offences that in citizens would
be passed over without notice. This, it may be sup
posed, would Cause them to be more frequently ar
ranged than other men but there is less litigation
among them than amoog any other class of people.

Iron Railways, S'c.--The Salem Iron .ianufac.
turing Company has declared dividend Of ten dol
lars on share Of 500 being the actual profits Of
the last year.
We notice this fact to call the attention Of capital.
lists to the security and advantage Of investing funds
in iron manufactures. 1t may not possibly have
occurred to them, that this valuable metal is daily
getting more and more into use--the wants of the
country, and the increasing quantity Of all kinds OF
machinery, are enhancing the price of iron. We
have abundance of the finest quality of iron ore, and
it is very probable that in short time the expert,
nent will be made with iron railways and if success
full several millions of dollars will be invested in iron
works. .NioGh's .1duocate.

3 Oh there is a dream OF early youth,
And IT never comes again;
IT'S vision of light, OF lie, and truth,
That fits across the brain;
And love is the theme OF that early dream,
So wild, so warm, SO new,
That in all our after years deem,
That early dream we rue.
Oh! There is dream Of msturer years,
More turbulent by far;
IT'S a vision OF blood, and of woman's tears,
For the theme Of that dream is aar:
And wetoil in the field Of danger and death,
Aud shout in the battle array,
Till we fina that fame is a bodyiess breath,
That vanisheth away
Oh there is q dream ofhosry age,
Ills vision Of gold in store
Of sums noted down on the figured page,
To be counted DER and DER;
And We iondy trust in our gIr,tering dust,
AS refuge from grief and pain,
Till cur limbs are laid in that last dark bed,
Where wealth of the world is vain.
And is it thus from mans birth to has grave
In the path which all are treading
Is there noughl in that long career to save
From renorse and self-upbradng
Dyes, there's a dream so pure, so bright,
Thai the being to whom it is given,
Hath bathed in sea of living light
And the theme OF that dream is Heaven.

Extract from an English Paper.
THE MAMALUkES

T. Who about the middle of he four
teenth century detbroned the Bahar es,
and Kept possession OF Egypt until the
Sultan Seiim took ii from them in l5l7,
derive their origin, for tie most part,
from Georgia. The name of MAMA
Luxe is given to children, who carried
off by robbers or metchanls from Geor-
gla, Circassia, or Anatolia, are afterwards
SOLD in Cons,antinople, or at Grand
Carlo. The great personasses OF Egypt,
who are OF similar sorigin, bring them
up in their houses, intending them for
their successors. Their custom is per-
haps Of far higher antiquity Than The
time of the Patriarch Joseph; VINO hav-
ing been sold in this manner to Potiphar,
became prime minister OF Egypt. These
strangers are now the only persons who
can have the title Of Bey and fill the Of
fees of state. The law on this head is
SO strict, that the Bey's sou cannot hold
that high post; he generally makes
choice of a military life, the Divan allow
him decent income, and he is called
EBN Ell BALAD,or child OF the country.
Nearly all the Mamalukes are of Chris
tian parents, but as soon as purchased,
they are forced to become Mahometaps.
They are laugh, the Turkish and Arabic
languages, and when they can read and
write well, are instructed in the KORAN,
which is both their religious and civil
code. The knowledge OF the clear, SIM
| pie and precise laws confined in it, en-
ables them TO decide readily upon any
matter that may be brought before them.
A Mahometan well vcrsed IN the Koran
| is considered as knowing his whole duty
to God and man, and to be capable of
presiding in civil, military, or ecclesias-
tical affairs.
The Mamslukes are taught from ear
10 childhood to ride, 10 throw the dart,
and use the sabre and firearms. They
are constantly practised in military evo-
lutions, and to bear patiently the heat Of
The climate, and burning thirst in the de-
serts; to such exercises they are indeb.-
ed for robust constitution, and ceur-
age not 10 be subdued. They only re-
! quire instruction ia the tactics Of Europe
