A correspondent of, the London Morn

the visit p5rthe English sailors to Liban,

Russian vessels, in that port. '@It
seems that her Majesty's ships Am

shore to demand that all merchant ships

English. Three hours time was granted

period, the Mayor replied that, potwith:
istaading they had large armed force ON
shore, hegrwould surrender the vessels
rather than suffer the destruction OF the

entail. Accordingly, the English boats
were niap1ed and rowed UP the canal =
which WAS but twenty yards wide-fbr

the way being crowded with Rassiaiss,

several miles up an enemy's country,

SAGACITY OF RATs.-We have read and

of the sagacity Of rats; but we don't re.
member any more extraordinary than the

they have been In the habit of placing on
tie ground in an upright position. To
their great surprise they have several
times recently found the horn filled to
the brim with very small stones, and
nearly the whole of the oil gone. This
circumstance puzzled them exceedingly,
and, in order to discover the way in
which the oil had been extracted, they
placed the horn, containing quantity
Of oil in its old position, and covered the
ground about it with soft clay. The next
morning they found, ss before, that the
horn had been filled with stones; the oil
was gone, and the clay was covered with

RUSSIAN POIIfKNBss.-A FACT.-About

and cerpnlent German lady. resident
in St. Petersburg, having quarrelled with
her servants, (Russian,) the latter gave
intmation to the Prefecture Of Police
that the former had spoken Of the Rus

and disrespect. The lady received sum-
mons to appear before the Prefecture, to
whom she repaired accordingly, vowine
revenge on the whole tribe Of servants.
On her arrival at the Office, the Prefec-
.ture most politely received her, and us.,-
ering her into asmaH box-lOoking apart

charges against her, which he he'd scarce
sly finished when down sunk the corpu-

Gus floor, above, which nothing of her
portly figure was to be seen but her
head, arms and crumpled habiliments-
and shocking to relate, thirty blows from
an unseen hand were administered, where,
however, they were unlikely to cause per-
manent injury except to the feelings of
the sufferer. On the completion Of the

WHAT IS LAGER BIER 2-Te this Oft
repeated inquiry, the n. Y. Journal OF
Commerce replies =, --z -
Lager bier is matted liquor, origi-
nally made in Bavaria, in esseotiai pro-
perties identical with ordinary ale, which
It closely resemblesin appearance, though
differing in taste; Of much less speohe
gravity weaker, and retaining its foam
shorter, time after being drawn. It's taste
is sab-acid, pungent, and leaves in the
mouth q peculiar favor, caused by a
coating of pitch which the interior Of the
barrels receive before being filled, The
difference between the modes Of brewing

by the etymology of the name Lager
