BROKEN HEARTEp.-Rev. J. L. Hodge, Pastor
OF Church in N. York. lately delivered DISCOURSE
in which he commented on the recent calamity in
Hague street. Among other affecting incidents, he
mentioned the death of Mrs. Gulliver, whose fune-
raj he attended that afternoon. Mrs. G. he said
was aged lady, and had three grandsons in the
building at the time of the explosion The charred
remains of two were brought home, and the third
has since been hanging between time and
eternity in consequence of the injuries received.
The old lady was well as her grandsons when
they left home Monday morning She loved
them-they were her pride. When the mangled
remains of two, and the disfgured body of a third
were brought home, she could not weep, but sat in
the old arm chair the picture of grief She contin-
ued thus without giving any external evidence of
disease, until Friday morning, when she fell asleep
in death. She died OF a broken heart.

"THE GREAT DESERT; or, Guide Book of a
Caravan" by Messrs Colonel Eugene Dumas and
Ansone de Chancel, is work of science and cru
diton, of humor and poetry. 1t Is complete
compilation of the manners and ceremonies Of the
Arabs, and the organization and march of cara.
1t is one Of the books that should be put in
library if one wishes to put there at the same time
one of the least explored countries on the map of
the word.
We extract from it, as sample of poesy, the fol-
lowing Fable taken by M. de Chancel from, or as
it was uttered by the mouth of Marabout, at the
wells of Sidi- -Mahomet:
1t appears that the Arabs are more advanced in
civilization than they usually said to be. One
day Sidna Ayssa-Gt is the orthography of the
name of our Lord Jesus Christi accidentally en-
countered Chitann-(w (which is the orthography of
Satan) who drove before him four heavily laden
asses, and said to him, "Chitann, you have then
become merchant"
eyes, Lord, and | am not able to attend to the
sales of my merchandise"
What trade do you do, then? ?n
"Good-an excellent trade. See, rather. or
the four asses that are here and which took from
among the strongest of Syria, one is laden with
Injustices-who will buy them of me? The Sultans.
The other is laden with Envies-who will buy them
of me? The learned. The third is laden with
Thefts-who will buy them of me? The mer-
chants. The fourth carries, at the same time with
Perfdy and Stratagem. assortment Of Seduc-
tions, comprising all the Vices-who will buy them
of me? The women"
" Evil one! may God curse your replied Sidna
Ayssa.
The ensuing day, Sidna Ayssa, who was saying
his prayers in the place, disturbed by the
oaths of an ass-driver whose four asses overcome
with their load, refused the road. He recognized
Chitann. "Thank God you have sold nothing ~
he said to him.
Lord, an hour after l quilted you, all my pan
niers were empty; but, as heretofore, | have had
difficulties in obtaining payment. The Sultan
caused me to be payed by his Cahph, who wished
to deceive in the amount the learned said they were
poor; the merchants and I've called each other
rogues; the women only paid me without haggling.n
And, nevertheless, | see that your panniers are
still ful objected Sidna Ayssa.
"They are filled with money and am taking it
to the Cad tjustice) p replied Chitaun, urging for
ward his asses.
1t appears that even in Sahara justice still finds
means to ruin litigants. NOVICE.

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITISH STEAMER. The
Mobile Register of the 2Sth ult, contains the fol-
lowing The steamer Thames arrived at our
Bay, on Tuesday last, about 2 o'clock, in eight
days from Vera Cruz, having stopped three days
at Tampico, where the steamer took on board
100000 in coin. She had two millions Of coin on
board for England. The Thames took on board
ilty-lour passengers at Vera Cruz, and landed
twenty-four at our Bay, of whom twenty proceeded
to New Orleans and two came up to this city.
Among the latter, is Mr. Bayard Taylor, an inteli-
gent gentleman connected with the New York
Tribune, who is returning from a visit to Califor-
MIA, where he has been spending several months
Mr. Taylor came over land from Mazatlan by way
of Mexico and Vera Cruz. He travelled on horse
back about five hundred miles to Guadalajara, and
thence by stage to the city of Mexico. There he
met with Mr.. Letcher, who arrived on the I'd inst
safely and in good health. Mr.. Taylor is the
bearer of dispatches from Mr.. Letcher to the Gov
ernment at Washington, and proceeded on to
Montgomery by boat last evening.
During short, but pleasant interview with
Mr. Taylor, he gave amusing account of
his robbery, some forty miles west of Guadalaiara
Having travelled many days without molestatlon,
he had become careless and off his guard, when
suddenly several robbers sprung before him from
an ambuscade, and presenting muskets at his
breast, demanded his money Resistance being
impossible, he yielded. The robbers took him
from his horse, conducted him to a ravne out Of
sight of the road and tied him to a tree. He had
but little money, his funds being in draft on Mex
leo. They took his money, but left him his draft,
not aware OF its value to him. though it would have
been of none to them. They were very liberal,
however-indeed generous, they left him his
horse and also some provisions The latter, how
ever, he told them would be of little use if they left
him tied. This hint they little needed and put oi
off in double quick time After considerable effort
Mr.. Taylor extricated himself and resuming his
journey reached Guadalajara that night. He speaks
Of the people the route from the Pacific tc
Mexico, kind and peaceful, and the country
through which he travelled delightful one
He brings nothing later from California.

TERRIBLE EMoRTALITY-Chokera Among Emf
grants-The Natchez Courier of the 2jth ult
says: "A few days since an old, filthy stockboat
landed above this place densely filled with seven
families from Murray county, Ga, all belonging to
one neighborhood and nearly all related by blood
or marriage. They were on their way to seek
new home in Texas They travelled through Ala
bama and Tennessee with their own wagons and
mules until they arrived at Memphis, and were
four ,ceeks making the trip. AT Memphis they
put all on board cast-otf stockboat, navgated by
themselves, and were fUe tceeks in getting to Nat
chez-having been obliged to stop at Vicksburg
and exchange their old boat for one of the same
class but much more stanch. The whole company
numbered forty eight including five negroes. The
cholera developed itself among them this side of
Vicksburg, and on yesterday week negro man
belonging to Mr.. Barton died on Tuesday, Mrs.
Sally Barton on Thursday, Abel Barton, son of
James Barton; on Friday, Eli Gentry on Satur-
day, Miss Hannah George; on Sunday, (day before
yesterday Jane Gentry, James Green, Jno Green
and Elizabeth Green, children, and Mrs Elizabeth
George; on yesterday, Miss Minerva Barton--in
all twelve whites and one black. At noon, yester-
day, there were hopes of the life of another
infant 1t cannot be disguised that the poverty of
these emigrants compelled them to the exposure on
the river which has resulted morunfully.'
