DISCOVERY IN EGYPT.-The New York Com
mercal Advertiser says that most interesting dis
covery has been made in Egypt 1t is known that
there exists in Mount Zabarrah situated on an island
in the Red Sea, mine of emeralds, which was for
merly worked by the pachas of Egypt, but abandon
ed in the last years Of the reign of Mehemit All.
An English company have solicited and recently OBJ
tanned authority TO resume the working of this mine,
whichis believed to be stll rich with precious stones
Mr. Allan, the engineer of the company while di-
rectlng some important excavations in this place. has
discovered at great depth traces of an ancient gal
lery. which must evidently be referred to the most
remote antiquity. Upon removing the rubbish, they
found tools and ancient utensils, and stone upon
" hich is engraved hierogfyphic inscription, now
partially defaeed. This circumstance proves the
truth of the opinion expressed by Bezon, on the
strength of other indications, that this mine was
worked in ancient times
The nature and form the implements discovered
and the confguration ofthe gallery the plan of which
has been readily traced, prove most conclusively
that the ancient Egyptians skiIful engineers.
1t seems from examination of the stone which has
been discovered, that the first abors in the mine Of
Zabarrah were commenced in the reign Of Sesostris,
who, according to the most generally received opin-
ion, lived about the year 1900 before Christ, and
who is celebrated by his immense conquests, as well
as by the innumerable monuments with which he
covered Egypt

HE RATS IN DANGER.-Emanuel Lyon, the
inventor Of the celebrated magnetic powder, whose
singular property is that it destroys vermin, has Of
fered the New York Common Council to rid the CITY
OF rats; not only the houses. but all the common
sewers, for 100000; and afterwards, to keep the
city entirely free from rats, for ten years. for $50 900
per annum. The guarantee he gives, to keep us free
from these intruders, for the future, is pretty fair
one. Should contract be completed between this
and January, 1852, he offers give approved securi
ties, that he will pay after January 1852 ten cents
for every rat delivered to him. This will be an in
centve to him to scatter his powder round pretty ex-
tenslvely; but he feels certain that all1he dogs and
rat-traps in the city would not catch ten thousand
during the second year of his laors, nor after that
even one thousand year, during his contract. A
contract Of a similar nature has been made with a
man in Paris. by the authorities of that city.

The Printer.

He stood there alone at that shadowy hour,
By the swinging lamp dimly burning;
All silent within save the ticking type
All without save the nght-watch turning;
And heavy echoed the solemn sound
AS slowly he paced o'er the frozen ground.
And dark were the mansions so lately that shone,
With the joys of festivty cleaning,
And hearts that were beating in sympathy then,
Were now living ii DER in their dreaming.
Yet the Printer still worked at his lone.y post,
As slowly he gathered his mighty host.
And there lay the merchant all pillowed in down,
And building bright hopes for the morrow,
Nor dreamed he that Fate was then weaving wand
That would bring to him fear and sorrow
Yet the Printer was there in his shadowy room
And he set in his framework that rich mans DOOM
The Young wife was sleeping whom lately had bound
The ties that death only can severn
And, dreaming she started, but woke with smile,
For she thought they were parted forever
But the Printer clicking the types that would tell
Ga the morrow, the truth of that midnight spell!
And there lay the statesmen, whose feversh brow
And restless the pillow pressing,
For he felt, through the shadowy mist OF his dream,
His oftie,t hopes now possessing;
Yet the Printer worked on, mid silence and gloom,
And dug for ambition its lowliest tomb
And slowly that workman went gathering up
His budget of grief and of gladness,
A wreath for the noble, grave for the low,
For the happy cup full of sadness;
Strange stories of wonder, to enchant the ear,
And dark ones of terror, to curdle with fear.
Full strange are the tales which that dark host shall bea
To palace and cot on the!mouo w;
o welcome, thrice welcome, to many heart,
To many hearer of sorrow
1t shall 60 like the wind and wandering air,
For life and its changes are impressed there.

RATrLEsNAKE KILLED IN M1LToN.--On
Thursday last, two young ladies', of Milton, went in
to piece of woods, after berries. They had not
proceeded far, before they discovered hdeous look
ing rattlesnake, coiled up directly in their path
The two ladies commenced throwing stones at the
serpent, and succeeded in driving it underneath
large rock. They then went nearly half mile dis
panied them back TO the spot where they had driven
the snake, and after some difficulty, succeeded in
killing it.
The snake had nine rattles, and upon opening it,
was found to contain ten eggs, in each of which was
a young snake nearly grown. The courage of the
two young ladies, whose ages are 20 and Is years,
is worthy of commentator.

had to pass through fluid in each jar, to receiver
from which it was conducted to half a dozen Argand
burners, and being ignited, made more brilliant
light, as the editor declares, than any other gas light
he ever witnessed.
A committee, of whom DIR. Crosley was chairman,
chosen by the citizens to examine the subject report
ed that, in their opinion, imposition had been prac-
tced, but the air was made infammable and highly
luminous when burning, by its passage through the
fluid. This change they believed to be mechanical,
