across the desert on the backs of two don- keys, and took sail on the famed river. It appears to run through series of chambers, on the walls of which are many curious in- scriptions. No one knows whence this sub- terranean stream comes or whence it goes.
 The famous fountain of Apollo, which is- sues from a rock at Cyrene, is similar to the Lethe, only smaller. On the ay-plastered sides are ancient Greek inscriptions.
 The plain on which all the cities of the Pentapolis, except Cyrene, stood, is & nar- row strip between the sea and range of hills that borders the coast from Benghazi eastward to Dernah. This range rises first the surface forms a table land extending several miles inward and then rises again to form ridge Cyrene stands on the table land very pie turesquely situated and difficult of approach through the narrow gorges of the mountains, the steep slopes of which form a natural de- fense. The hillsides are everywhere honey combed with tombs, some of them now oc- cupied as Arab dwellings and many of them are still to be explored. From Apollonia, the seaport, the ascent to Cyrene is through 8 beautiful valley, where the vegetation is more general than anywhere else on this coast, and, aside from it's associations with the past, the natural beauties of scenery are enough to attract the tourist if only he could get to them. But you cannot reach Cyrene without undergoing the hardships and dang CTS of a tedious land journey either from Alexandria or Benghazi. The region is without commerce and almost depopulated The wandering tribes of Arabs that pasture their herds of sheep and cattle are more vicious and fanatical than any others along this coast, and would be dangerous if well armed. Hundreds of steamers pass almost in sight of it weekly on the voy- age from the Strait of Gibralter to the Suez Canal, and not one ever touches at any part of this coast, because there is no commerce to attract them. The winter climate is unsurpassed for salubrity :; the temperature is equable, and the air dry and exhilarating. Cyrene was, in it's flour ishing day, health resort, much as the south coast of France is today. In addition to the climate, admirably adapted to the cure of pulmonary diseases, there was plant, the sylphium cyrenaicum, the extract faom which was believed to be almost unfaihng in the cure of these diseases. It was not cultivated, but grew wild on the hill slopes.
 By an incision in the plant or it's root the juice was obtalned which Piny recommend ed for every form of disease, So great was

SHARP TRICK BY STRIKERS.
They Capture a Batch Of Imported
WOrkmen and Send Them Back
Home Again.


One of the smartest tricks in the his
tory of local trade uniOnism was played
on Wednesday evening by the striking
gold beaters formerly employed by
Hastings Il Co., Of Philadelphia. Sew
eral weeks ago the firm sent to London
and engaged number of men, who
signed contract on the basis OF $40
per week. When the new arrivals dis
embarked from the steamship Illinois,
on Wednesday morning, committee
of the strikers, which had remained on
the watch through the night, put in an
appearance, and roundly abused mum.
Der of the new hands The foreigners
were then followed to Il boarding house
at Ninth and Cherry streets, where a
few hours later they were waited upon
by deputation Of the strikers and in
duced to take walk to the headquar-
ters at Ninth and Spring Garden streets.
Here the facts of the dispute were
narrated to them, and the conference
ended by the new arrivals agreeing to
break their contracts. Accordingly, on
Thursday they repacked their baggage
and in the evening, escorted by the
strikers they proceeded to Ninth and
Green streets, where De Witt G. Aus
tin, President of the New York Gold
Beaters' Union, furnished them with
tickets for Gotham. Those who desire
to return home are also to have their
passage paid, while work will be pro-
Cured for those preferring to remain.
The firm of Hastings Il Go. express a
determination TO resist the demands of
the strikers, anti&ay that they will con-
tinuc to SEX men to fill their places.

National Banks.

ASHINGTON, July l.--One year ago
the banks held nearly $500, 200, 900 OF
five and six per cent bonds. They now
hold SlS9, 900 of the continued three
and-a-haltS, and the remainder of their
tives and skies will soon either cease to
bear interest or 1C be continued, with
the exception OF 81, 50O, 900 of Pacific
Railroad skies. Fifty-four national
banks have been organized during
the fiscal year ending June 3Oth,
1851, with a capital OF ST, 2O9,1 100.
Nineteen banks have gone into volun-
tary liquidation by vote of the share
holders, having a capital of $l,62o,oOo
There have been 10 failures of national
banks during the fiscal year. The num-
Der of banks now in existence is 2l22.
The statement Of May 9TH, which is the
date of the last reports received from he
banks, shows an increase of SS4 900. 900
in loans over the corresponding period
of that year, and OF Sl33, 2OO,0 600 i'll indi-
vidual deposits. There has also been
an increase of specie of about ST., OOO,-
600, and On increase in circulation OF
$40, 500, 900, which, however, has been
more than counterbaianced by the in
creased amount of $l3, 1O3,0 of legal
tender notes deposited for the purpose
of retiring circulation.

burglary In MIddletown.
From the Rijdletown Transcript.

Thieves called Il: the residence oi
John A. Reynolds, Esq, at an early
hour on Thursday morning and secured
his gold watch and small amount of
money. They effected an entrance
through "A back window, secured only
by nail, and the shutter of which is
usually left open. The watch was taken
from the bureau in Mr.. Reynolds sleep
ing apartment. His pan,aloons were
carried down stairs and the contents OF
the pockets enlptied npon the floor.
There wsre two pocket books, only
one of which was carried away by the
thieves. Fortunately for Mr.. Reynolds,
the amount of money in the pockets
did not exceed five dollars. 4 valua-
BILE watch belonging to Mrs. Reynolds
which hung near the bureau, in the
slyering apartment visited by the bur
gAarS, was overlooked by them. Mr..
Reynolds desk was broken open and
all the papers therein turned topsy-tnr-
yey, but nothing was found there that
the thieves considered of sufficient val
ne to caary away. The cuphard stood
open but the silverware was not touched
Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds never knew
that they had been called upon by bur
glars until Mrs. Il. arose i'll the morn
ing and went to the bureau to look at
her husbands watch. From the man
ner in which the work was done, Mr.
Reynolds believes the burglars TO have
been Professionals.
