Pacha has issued regulation compelling them
to take, before sailing, q pass from himself or
his agents, stating tho number and quality of
their crew and passengers, and prohibiting them
from embarking any slaves, under penalty of not
being allowed to disembark them on Turkish
ground II this measure were strictly adhered
to, there is no doubt it would most effectually
stop the slave trade. But as long as the Circas-
slams find a market for their slaves, doubt
whether they will give up such an easy and
profitable source of income.-Morniag Chroni-

The STORY OF CINDERELA.-The origin of this
nursery tale is thus given by French Journal
ist. We "tell the tale' as told to us, but it is
probably of much greater antiquity. About the
year 1880, an actor of equal talent and wealth
named rhevcnard, in passing through the streets
of Paris, observed upon cobblers stall, the
shoe of female which struck him by the re-
markabe smalness of its size After admiring
it for some time, he returned to his house; but
his thoughts reverted to the shoe with such in
tcnsity that he re-appeared at the stall the next
day but the cohbler could give him no other
clue to the owner, than that it had been left in
his absence, for the purpose of being repaired.
Day after day did Theverand return to his post
to watch the re-integration of the slipper which
proceeded slowly nor did the proprietor ap-
pear to claim it. Although he had completed
the sixteth year of his age, SO cxtravagant be-
came his passion for the unknown fair one, that
he became, (were it possible for Frenchman of
that day to be SOY melancholy and miserable.
His pain was, however, somewhat appeased by
the avatar Of the little foot itself appertaining
to pretty and youthful girl in the very hum
blest class of life All distinctions were leveled
at once by love: the actor sought the parents of
the female, procured their consent to the match,
and actually made her his wife.
M. KossurH AND Mr. LAYARD, NJ. PA re-
port of Mr. Layard's speech, as reported in the
Times, gave the following - HSdnot the Turks
befrended them! Had they not received them
with kindness, entertained them with hospitali
ty, given them employment in their cities, and
raised them to the command Of their armies
And what was their return! Had it not been
in too many instances, the grossest ingrattude!'
Nj. Kossuth demands to know if Mr.. Layard
means to brand the Hungarians with ingratitude,
and demands explanation of the charge. In his
answer, Mr.. Layard takes the opportunity of
removing from Kossuth's mind "the painful
impression which the inaccurate report in the
Times Of part of my speech Of Monday last in
the House of Commons was naturally calcula-
ted to create had, indeed. intended to address
you on the subject, but had been prevented by
numerous occupations and absence from London.
| had hoped also that a comparison of the re-
ports of the same speech in other newspapers
should have shown you that had been misun-
derstood by the Times reporter Mr.. Golden
having stated that the liberal party in Europe
were opposed to the war, and having specially
instanced you, as denouncing it as a war under
taken in the interests Of the oppressors of Hun
gary I observed in reply, that the liberal par
ty in Europe should be the last to be found ar
rayed against the Sultan, as Turkey had at all
times offered place of refuge to those who had
been compelled to leave their native country for
political causes whether Hungarians, Poles or
Italians, and had received them with the most
generous symyathy-even risking a wari their
behalf with her two most powerful noighbors
and declared that if the liberal party were
now to ally themselves with the enemies Of the
Porte, it would be an instance of the grossest
ingratitude."
A SUNDAY MEAL IN GLAsGow.-A correspond
ent writes to the London Times, as follows;
"To-day Sunday, having just arrived quite
unexpected at Glasgow, went to take up my
abode with friend. He is q bachelor, in lodg-
ings, and had made no preparation for dinner
for two. His castle being thus badly provision
ed, we sailed forth at five O'Clock in quest of a
tavern or restaurant where we could obtain u
moderate repast. Conceive our surprise and
ANNOYANCE to find all such places closed for the
day. Feeling ucutely, hewever, that dinner
somewhere was indispensibly necessary, we pro-
ceeded to one of the largest hotels in this city
but, to our astonshment, although the door
was open, We found no one in the coffee-room
no one in the commercial room-no one in
the bar; and we could not find even waiter in
the way. Not caring to disturb the solemn
stiffness that prevailed, and. being this time
fortunate enough to find some lucky individuals
discussing their dinners in the cofee-room, we
rang the bell and ordered ours. The waiter
looked at us with astonishment on receiving our
order, and assured us that it was not in his
power to comply with our request, for that his
master would be liable to heavy fine were he
to do so, as we were not staying at the hotel
