By special letters from the shore OF the
Persian Gulf, dated at Muscat on the 10th and
1lth Of December, last year, we are enabled
to present to our readers this morning COM
prehensiye review of the condition OF affairs
then existing in Arabia The writer describes
city life scenes, besides reporting the manners
and customs and material resources of the in
habitants in graphic, lively and at the same
time philosophically analytical style which
will command the attention of our readers Of
all ranks Of society. The slave system of the
country is treated, and the manner in which it
is maintained-by the importation of slaves
from Abyssinia-detaiIed in shape
which affords food for earnest refec-
tion to our statesmen, the CONNER
cia community, lay philanthropsts and
the religious evangelist Great Britain
was encroaching noiselessly, yet steadily and
firmly, on the Muscat territory, and, an in
evitable consequence, as at all other points
of the world, American commerce was
declining in the face Of the English in
terests. Native society was deeply demoral-
ICED and retrograding, aud this, curious to
remark, but not strange as to result, under
the operation Of a ''reformatory" code of gov
ernment laws which seems to have been based
on the Puritan Blue laws OF the first New Eng
land American settlers. Dancing, singing and
smoking were strictly prohibited, and the
wearing of mustache made penal offence.
Humanity degenerated in consequence, just as
1t did and does in Connecticut and Massachu-
setts from the same cause, thus affording
another melancholy chronological attestation of
the grand fact that in any endeavor to make
man ''better" in the gross you must first snake
his betters BETTER" Muscat and Massachusetts,
all the same.
