+ Admiral Ilobar; P.lsha, of the Turkish

Russian batteries at Galatz, was tvld III
yest,ltay's cable dispatches, is we'll
known in Washington. He was one of
the most successful and most annoying of
the blockade runners of our civil war, II.
which service he was employed by the
formerly wealthy, but recently bankrupt,
LONDON firm of Alexander, Collie & Co.
He was captain in the British navy, but
took advantage of leave OF absence
granted him ty the English government
to 20 into the blockade running business.
When this came to the knowledge of the
Lords of the Admiralty he was suspended
from his rank in the British navy. There.
upon he entered the Turkish service, and
besides being invested with the rank OF
admiral, he was made pasba by an i'm.
perial Hrman. He next became conspicu-
Gus in checking the rebellion in Crete
where his knowledge of the blockade
running bainess was of great service te
him in preventing the Greeks from fur.
nishing supplies of arms and ammuuitior
to the insurgents. BY a subsequent de-
cree in council of the Lords of the Ad'
miralty he has been restored to his rank
and number in the British navy.

The Dukes of ENGLAND.

There are but eleven dukes of England,
properly so called-that is, dukes sitting
in the House of Lords as such, as derlv~
ing their titles from creations before the
union with Scotland. The Duke of Nor
folk is the first of these, and the Duke of
Rutland the last in order of precedence.
The patent of the latter as duke bears
date March Goth, 1703. There are also
dukes of Great Britain and of the United
Kingdom, as we'll as of Scotland aud Ire
land, but those of the two sister King
doms sit by inferior titles among then
peers, and all the dukes not of England
take precedence among each other by
somewhat Intricate rules OF precedence,
INTO which it is not worth while to enter
The dukedoms are twenty eight in all
exclusive of those held by princes o1
blood royal. The honor has been yer,
paringly bestowed in late years. 1ht
last, conferred by George Ill.,, was that o.
Northumberland, the King refusing Il
make any more creations, except IN favor
of his own descendants. The Prince
Regent made Lord Wellington a duke
and after his accession to the throne
raised Lord Buckingham to the same dig
nifty. William w. made two more. ant
her Majesty has added an equal number t.
the list.

A new theory, based chiefly on chemio-
ri considerations. Is propounded by Prof.
Mcudelejetf regarding the formation of
petroleum in the interior of the earth.
From the fac' that in Pennsylvania petro-
leum occurs in the Deyonan and Silurian
rocks, 1t appears to him highly improbable
that the fluid hydrocarbon should be the
result of the decomposition of organic re-
mains, for but little organic life could
have existed III those ages. His theory,
starting with Laplaces hypothesis of tho
formation of our globe, assumes the ex-
istence of great masses of iron, and,
along with it, of inorganic carbon, in the
inner parts Of the earth. The water
which, tom the more exterior regions,
ccnetrates to the molten mctal, is decOm-
posed; its oxygen goes to the iron. whilst
the hydrogen uniies, under the influence

Every Year.

Inc spring has less of brightness
Every year,
Aoo tne snow ghastlier whiteness,
Every year;
nor DO summers flowers quicken.
NOR autumn's frui'age thicken
AS they once did, for we sicken
Every yesr.
Of the loves and sorrows blended.
Every year;
of the joys of friendship ended.
Every year;
OF the ties that still might bind ME
Until time to death resigned me,
My infirmlties remind,
Every year.
Oh! how sad to look before US
Every year,
While the cloud grows darker DER us
Every year;
When We see the blossoms faded.
That to bloom we might have aided,
And immortal garlands braided,
Every year,
To the past go more Cead faces,
Every year;
Come no new ones IN their places,
Every year.
Everywhere the sad eyes meet US,
In the evenings dusk they greet us,
And to come to them entreat us,
Every year.
"You are growing DID," they tell US,
Every year;
"You are more Alone" they tell us,
Every year;
You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every year.
Thank God! no clouds are shifting,
Every year, f--.-'.
Der the land to which we're drifting
Every year;
No losses there will grieve US,
Nor loving faces leave US,
Nor death of friends bereavc US,
Every year.

Previous to enterIr G the bay Of Tripoli,
q few mills from the land, the county is
rendered picturesque by various tints OF
beautiful verdure; no os,jrct whatever
seems to interrupt the evenness of the
soil. which is of Light color. almost
white, and interspersed with long avenues
of trees; for such is the appearance of
the nuoacrous palms planted in regular
lows and kept in the finest order. Their
immense branches, coarse when near. are
neat and distinct at distance. The land
lying low and very level, the naked
st ms of these trees are scarcely seen,
and the plantations of dates seem TO
extend many miles in luxuriant woods
and groves. On nearer view they pre-.
sent more struggling appearance, and
afford neither shelter nor shade from the
burning atmosphere which ev' rywhere
surrounds them. The whole of the town
appears in semi circle, some time before
reaching the harbor's mouth. The ex-
treme whitc5ess of square, white build
ings, covered with lime, which in this
climate encounters the suns fiercest rays,
Is very striking. The baths form clusters
of cupolas, very large, to the number ol
eight or ten crowded together In different
parts of the town. The mosques have
in general small plantation IF Indian
figs and date trees growing close to them
which, at q distance, appearing to be &C
many rich gardens in different parts of tht
town, give the whole city in the eyes OF
IAN European, an aspect truly novel and
pleasing. On entering the harbor, the
town begins to discover dilapidations
from the destructive hand of time, large
hills of rubbish appearing in various
parts of it. The castle or royal palace
where the pasha resides, is at the eas'
end of the town, within the walls. with
dock yard adjoining, where the hey builds
his cruisers. The castle IL very ancien:
and is enclosed with strong, high wall,
which appears impregnable; but it ha'
lost all symmetry on the inside, from tht
,nnumerable additions made to contain
the different branches of the royal family
for there is scarcely an instance of any Of
the blood royal, as tar as the pasha's grea
grandchildren, living without the castle
walls These buildings have increased by
degrees to little, irregular town.
