Bring all the shops of New York,
Philadelphia and Boston, together
around the City Hall remove their
fronts, pile up all their goods on shelves
facing the street, cover the whole with
roof and metamorphose your trim
clerks into bearded, turbaned, solemn
old Musselmen, smooth Jews, and cal
packed and rosy Armenians, and you
will have something like the grand
Bazaar of Constantinople. You can
scarcely get an idea of it, without ha-
wing been there. 1t is city under
cover. You walk all day, and
day after day, from one street to an
other, winding and turning, and trud.
ging up hill and down, and never go
out of doors. The roof is as high as
those Of our three story houses, and
the dim light so favorable to shop
keepers, comes struggling down thro'
skylights, never cleaned except by the
rains of heaven.
Strolling through the bazaar is an
endless amusement. 1t is slow work
for the streets are as crowded as
church aisle after service /; and pushet

CURIOUS PHENoMENoN.-The Montre-
Il Herald ofthe 29th ult, states that
"On Saturday morning, a very singular
phenomenon was observable from the
river bank in front of our city. Those
who are blessed with strong sight per-
ceiyed, as they supposed, an immense
number Of small birds in the air, but at
such height as to render birds, in that
situation, a curiosity. We happened to
ne passing, and in vain strained our eyes
Go discover the objects which others were
contemplating with 80 much eagerness-
by the help Of a glass, however, we at
last perceived what was to all appearance,
IN immense flock Of small birds. These
objects passed away in millions before the
current Of the light wind then blowing,
but many descended lower than the rest
until easily discernable by the naked eye.
At length they approached the earth, nnd
proved to be maple leaves Of an unusally
lsrge size. Many ofthem were picked
up by the citizens, and we have kept one.
Whence they.came, or how they got there,
ere questions which furnish a wide field
fos conjecture. One shresd follow obser-
ved, that this must be the fall ofths moon,
and that they certainly came ffom
thsace."
