from the Boston Traveller, viii be read ca with in
terest:
'She is beauty without paint of two hundred
and fifty tons register, with spacious decks and low
! bulwarks. Her bow is very long and very sharp,
with concave lines full three feet deep; that is, a
straight line extended from the cutwater to the
| round or curve of the side, would measure three
feet from its middle to the planking. 1t somewhat
resembles a bent bow or segment of circle. Her
stern is an nged-triange, the tatrail form
ing the base, and has no knuckes nor biIging quar-
terpleces, so that, by the wind, when pressed
down to her bearings. there is nothing aft to i'm
! pede her progress. Her sides are boldly convex.
and her run, like her bow, is long and clean.
more beautiful model or one better adapted for
sailing, IS rarely seen in this vicinity. Those who
! doubt Mr. Weltons statement about her going
| twenty knots would do well to inspect her If ever
a vessel went twenty knots she is surely capable of
going at the same rate, for everything about her
indicates speed.
"ller masts are two beautiful spars, clear of knots
or naws, and very stout; they strong enough
to stand till every yard of canvass blows away OF
until they tip her keel out. She still has the raised
skyllghts and boOby-hatches which belonged to her
when yacht but she looks weather-beaten and
rusty, though her hull is sound and her copper
smooth.
"Though very sharp, she has large stowage ca
pacty owing to her great breadth Of beam; but we
doubt her being able to carry 700 negroes with the
necessary supplies of water and provisions. She
has only two short skies. carriage guns, which
work over the rail. The W anderer's decks have no
protection; weil-directed vollev or two of small
arms from a cutter would clear them, not to speak
of the effect of broadsde from three guns charged
with grape and canister.
CAS- a pirate, her only play, with her present in
slgnlhcant armament and exposed decks, would be
to run alongside of an opponent and carry her BY
boarding. Speed and ability TO bear heavy press
OF sail are the principal elements in her model She
Is not adapted for war;"

ion. The number of cases noted was five hundred
two hundred and forty of whom were natives of
Scotland, two hundred and seventeen were Eng
lsh, and forty-threC were Irish. Persons having
gray hair were not noted. These observations not
only dlsprOve the old notion of the special liability
OF xanthons persons, but 20 far toward proving
consumption to be more rife among dark eyed,
dark-haired people. Dark eyes were more fire.
quent'y met with among the phthsical than was
any other color. Red hair rose slightly above. and
tar hair fell 4 little below, the average. Brown
hair counted little more than three-fourths of its
proportionate number. Dark brown, on the other
hand, rose almost as high above the average, and
back still higher showing excess in the propor-
ton OF more than three to two. The frequency of
DIack halr among the nOn-phthisiCa Irish does not
tell much on the average, as Ireland furnished
only tortythree out of the five hundred-Iess
than nine per cent. That consumption nav be
very frequent among persons of fine skin and DELI
cate complexion, DR.. Is. does not deny; in fact, he
believes that n very fair complexion, espcciallv
when conioined with black hair and ewes, is very
often associated with prOc!iviy to tubercuIar dis
ease. 1t Is also conceivable that the progress Of
the disease may be in general more rapid in fair
than IN dark subjects.
Governor SmrH on GOVERNOR SEwARp.-Durinr
the debate liz the House, on Saturday last, Mr.
toulke of Illinois, referred TO a conversation whcR
occurred in lS47 or lSiS between Mr.. Seward of
New York, and Gov. Smith, of Virginia, where
upon Mr.. Smith narrated the conversation as we'll
could at
that while he Smith was Governor of Virginia,
he was sitting in the Council Chamber one dav,
when a stranger entered and announced himself as
Mr.. Seward, OF New Ork. conversation
sued, in the course OF which Mr. Seward remarked
that they going to allow all to vote in New
ork, negroes as well as whites. To that he Smith
had replied, that if they had no objection to free
negroes in New York they would send them Ger
| tain number in every packet from Virginia. MIR.
Seward said that he had no objection to that-that
they would receive them with pleasure: that they
had much trouble with the Irishmen and the Irish
vote; that great deal of money had to be used at
election times to them and that the rascals
would take their money and then vote against
them, but that they had no such trouble with the
coored people In reply to that he Smith had then
told him that he would be very happy to receive
an equal number Of honest.haartcd Germans and
rishmcn for all the negroes that were sent to New
York.
Law FOR THE LADrEs.-The fact that the ladies Of
Turkey have Of late induged themselves in wear
my very lUln NelS ana dresses when allow their
persons to be seen too much, has ELECTED impe-
rial edict Of which the following the essential
features
"ilenceforth, all women, whoever they may be,
on leaving their houses, must thick wells which
completely cover their features, and be clad in
dresses OF cloth or other suitable material, without
embroidery, trimmings external ornaments OF
| any KIND. They must not show themselves out of
doors simply in stockings and slippers, but must
wear halEboots in yellow morocco leather, or some
other suitable and decent covering for the feet
| When they 20 out to make purchases they
strictly prohibited from entering shops, but must
stop the outside to be served, and must wait
! longer than is absolutely necessary. When they
| are on the public prOmenades they must contine
themselves to the part reserved for females. Any
woman who shall be guilty OF acts against the law,
will be severely punished. No family shall keep
equpages beyond their means, and the drivers
must be most carefully selected"
How RATS MAY BE ExpuLLFD.-A gentleuan whose
house was literally overrun with vermn adopted
novel but strictly philosophical method to dislOdre
them. Opening the floor at several places in the
upper stories Of his house, he placed there vessels
containing mixture of sulphuric acid, black oxyd
OF manganese and common salt, aud closed down
| the boards. The result a slow chemical decDm-
position and re-combining Of clements in the pro-
grcss OF which, the heavy, sitting Gas, chlorine,
was disengaged. This made its way along the open
spaces and down to the cellar. few breaths of
the poisonous atmosphere served to convince tho
rats that danger ut hand. Selling what of
their accumulated pluudcr they could, they hasten
ed to abandon the premises, sneezing and weeping
as they went, from having inhaled the noXious
chlorine. Many months passed before one of the
number ventured to return. An army Of ants,
moths, bugs, reaches and other pcstilent insects
perished from the fumes.

At Compcigne recently, the Emperor observed
that Lady Cowlcy, contrary to the custom with
English ladies', did not a wedding alliance
ring on her hand. He asked the reason, and was
told that the marriage took place sooner than
cypcCted-that his LOrdship bad not been able to
procure one in time, and that, after marriage
further thought had been given Ia the suh-ct.-
The Emperor Immediately ordered from Tais
