An invention which is believed will
effect important changes in the metal
trade has recently been penetrated in
Great Britain and most foreign coun-
tries, and is now being sold as an article
OF commerce. The invention consists
of new method of manufacturing
alumina, by which nine-tenths of the
present cost is saved, while it can be
made in immense quantities in the
course of a few days, instead of re-
quiring nine months to produce it, az
was formerly the case. The inventor
is Mr.. Webster, of Hollywood, near
Birmingham, England, who has been
engaged in the experiments since 1851,
and only succeeded in perfecting his
process about twelve months ago, after
having expended nearly $4,000 in
experiments.

At the end of the week he was asked

A Burmese Romance.

In the late kings time his favorite
daughter was Che Tsalin princess,
girl of great beauty, and Of most ami
able disposition. All foreign ladies
used to go to her, and to her only; for,
besides being the highest princess in
the land, her kindness and affability
made her the most universally loved
member of the royal family. When
the late king died, her charming
mothers rival, Queen Allaynandeau,
having practically seized all power and
authority, the Tsalin princess was i'm
prisoned, and SO cruelty treated by or
der of the present queen, that she fell
dangerously sick. Left without any
care, and hardly any food, death seemed
to be the only deliverer at hand. But
Providence watched over the princess
A high official, remotely related to her,
and one of the foreign ladies who had
been most kindly treated by her FORM
erly, were most active in trying to find
for her the means of escape. But the
guards were too strict and too many.
While her friends were scheming and
considering, one of her own female ser
wants living in her town, fell sick near
her and suddenly died. Another fe-
male servant of hers, taking advantage
of the isolation in which she and her
mistress had been left within their
wretched place of confinement, put the
corpse into the princess bed, and the
latter, dressed as common palace
slave, and in the hubbub caused by the
news of her own death, quickly found
her way out, and ultimately reached
the house of her foreign friend, who,
being rightly afraid to keep her in her
own house, had her removed to safe
place outside of Mandalay.
The princess, meanwhile, being pro-
nounced dead, the body was removed
and disposed of, but not before the toes
on one foot had been chopped off, to
ma Ike it look like the princess, she hav-
ing had the misfortune to be born with
a club foot. After nearly two years,
the princess, who had entirely recov-
cred her former good health, was taken
away from her hiding-place in a large
covered cart. With the help of her
foreign friend she put on a European
dress, and having arrived at the river
side, went straight on board of q
steamer that was leaving from Ran
COON. But when the steamer reached
Koonywa, some two days journey from
Mandalay, the down steamer had just
arrived at the same place, and the news
soon spread that some petty official
having lately absconded from Manda-
lay, orders had been received at the
frontier to search closely every up
steamer on hearing which the prin-
cess, resuming her Burmese dress, and
making her face up as best she could,
landed and crossed the river in a small
boat, she having made up her mind to
try and reach the Shan country. AT
ter the weariest and most perilous
journey, on foot all the time, she at last
succeeded in reaching the State of a
friendly Tsawbwa, (chief,) under
whose hospitable roof she now lives,
anxiously looking for Prince Nyoung
Van, who has been repeatedly invited
over by large number of Tsawbwas,
anxious to fight under his banner and
carry him triumphantly back to the
golden city.

Persian Serenade.

-- 'rk as the twilight pale
Tenderly glows,
Hark how the night
Wakes from reposs
Only when, sparkling fg
Stars fill the darkling sky,
Unto the nightingale
Listens tho rose.
Here where the fountain-tice
Murmuring flows,
Airs from the mountains
Fan thy repose.
Eyes of thine glistening,
Look on me, listening;
I am thy nightingale,
Thou art my rose.
Sweeter the strain he weaves,
Fainter it flows
Now. as her balmy leaves
Blushic rly close.
Better t, . minstrelsy,
Lips that meet kissingly
Silence thy nightingale
Kiss me, my rose!
