The remarks of the editor of the

applicable 10 our own State, Prov. Her.
The death Of this young man was,
no doubt the result of a depression Of
spirits, produced by bis misfortunes and
his inca rceration IN prison. We, hope !
that this melancholy case will induce
many to reflect npon the subject Of I'm
prisonment for Debit and give, their, at-
tention to the absolute necessity there
exists Of abolishing that remnant Of the
frudal times, except ia cases Of rotor
ous fraud. The want Of an efficient
Bankrupt Law, is one Of the greatest
evils under which our commercial COM

ADJUSTMENTS OF THE PACHA Oh
EGYPT.
"Sans un pstit brise d'amour,
On s'ennuie meme la cour."

The approach to the ancient city of Crane
Cairo is enchanting; contrasted with the bar
rem sands Of Alexandria, it appears terres
trial paradise, and the eye of the traveller
rests with delight on the broad majestic hills
its yerdant fields, and their groves Of grace
tu palms and svcamores.
The city itself is most miserable place
and although containing population f,hreC
hundred thousand souls, does not possess a
single street that in Europe would be deemed
worthy of that appelation. Most of the
public buildings, and even some mosques Of
great magnifcence are situated in mere
lanes, while the dirt and rubbish with which
they are encountered render walking almost
impossible. What most surprise the Faro
pean at Cairo ars the singular contrasts ii
every moment presents to his view, and the
opposition in the manners, costumes, garb
and complexion of the inhabitants to every
thing similar in his own country.
The pacha resides in the citadel. The
new palace that he has constructed is unques.
tionably the most splendid in the Turkish
empire; its internal decorations combine the
magniflcence of the east with the classical
taste Of the west-'he talents of some of the
first artistes from both quarters having been
employed in its establishment.
The only objects worth seeing in the vi
cinity Of Cairo, though very different in
their nature, are-lst, The ancient sepul-
chres of the caIiphs, which by good Judges are
considered as the purest specimens of Sara
Genie architecture; their elegant domos peer
ing above the groves of Expresses, and gilt
tering in the sun, produce magical effect.

manned Ali, about three miles from Cairo,
on the banks Of the Nile The palace itself
is small, but the gardens are vast and magni-
hcent. In the middle of an orange grove is a
