md The who'll race has gradually grown
lighter cOlored since their emigration from
Ait under the persecution ofTimour Bey.
They had formerly titles among themselves
such as Count Lord aud Duke, bestowed
without any references to the wealth ofthe
individual aud for personal supe, iorily
alone. The natne for n Very aged nun or
wolnon was King or Queen. Tney are
fond Of the flesh o. unclran animals. and
prefer those that have died Il natural death
declaring that what God kills is better than
what is killed by man. The name ofGipsy
is offen,ivc TO them, except used by friends
in endcarment.-Among themselves, they
are rigidIy p%unctual in the payment Of
debts, and have a law called pizharris,
which doubles the debt, or adds personal
serv'tude to it, if il IS not paid when due.
Once a year they visit the graves Of near
relatives, usually at Christmas, and drink
freely there.-They have but one regular
meal a day, supper, and however other
things may be wanting, tea is indispensable
and they are very seldom without it. The
embIems OF the race are a half moon, seven
stars, and the rising sun.-FEome Journal.
ELECTION SQUTBs.-The Boston Post has
become sick of politics. It has not, as is too
often in some cases, "taken to drink" but has
given itself up to the study of navigation, for
the benefit Of his purity, determined to be a be-
n~etaetor 'anyhow." Here is what it sa VS..

to us is nearly worn out at er four years use
by that paper and besides, the Atlas has cut out
that portion which runs through Massachusetts,
for its own benefit.
The Courier and Enquirer thus speaks ofthe
result of the election in New York.
The M0urners.-Hereabout no body seems
very muchdejected on account of Gen Taylor's
election. The Wings f colrse are delighted.
The Barnburners are not clothed in sa.kcloth.
And some of the Old Hunkers, we understand,
are aldeady in the field with petitions, &c, for
good Offices with fat ~nalaries! 1t is ex exceedingly
pleasant to find every body so much satisfied
with the result!

NAVY YARD.-We understand that the

at Algicrs, for a Navy Yard. The lot has
tour hundred feet front on the river, con.

Yard is TO be established at this point

a day or two of the best white oak and pine
forests, easily sup lied with iron from Mis-
souri, or Pennsylvania, copper from the

vicinity Of this city. We are glad that
this beginning has been made for another
reason. In the universal scramble for
the public moneys to be appropriated to
internal Improvements, this section of the
country has been quite over Iooked-our
Congressional votes were too few to cause
our wants to be regarded in any general
''log rolling" scheme, but the establish
ment Of a Navy Yard will press upon the
attention Of Congress The importance of
deepening and keeping open the mouths
