I'lte meeting of Parliament stood fixed

l.ord lieorgo Germaine, with some agi
j t alien.
“The conversation was prolonged un
til, on 'lie mention of the V irginian cam

bearing of the intelligence. ‘The army
has jlirreiidcred, and you may peruse the
particulars of the capitulation in that pa

next uhestion w as one of rather an obtru

on the subject. The narration states the
minister’s remark, that tt did the highest
honor to his Majesty's firmness, fortitude
atgj co-xistenev Hut this was a eom
|Ytng moment, and we are told that the
Inllet was tv ad to this ell'eet: 'I have re
ceived, with sentiments of the vice pest
concern, th( comuiumcntum which Lord
George Germaine has made lo me, of the
unfortunate result of the operations in

count of the consopteiicos connected with
it and the difficulties w hich it limy pro
duce in carrying on the public business,
or m repairing such a misfortune. Hut
I trust that neither Lord Germaine, nor
any other member of the Cabinet, will
suppose that it makes the smallest deter

Description of the Seraglio of an East
ern Emperor. —ln the seraglio are educa
te,l the Mogul princes, and the principal
youth among the nobles, destined for
posts of responsibility iu the empire. It
is generally separated from the palace,
but so nearly contiguous as to be ready
ol access. None are admitted within its
apartments but the emperor and those
immediately attached to its several offi
ces, the duties us w hich are performed by
women. It is generally enclosed by lofty
walls, and surrounded by spacious gar
dens, laid out with till the splendour of
eastern magnificence, where every luxu
ry is obtained which the appetite may
dctiintid, or money can procure. Those
imitates w lm form tbe matrimonial con
federacy ot tlie Mogul potentate are
among the most beautiful girls which the
i empire can furnish. These lovely ettp
, tiv.-s a v tower permitted to np;Vtir ts
( broad, except when the emperor travel.-'’
| and then they are conveyed in litters clo
i sed by curtains, or in boats with small
cabins, admitting the light tutd air only
through narrow Venetian blinds. The
apartments of the seraglio arc splendid,
always, however, of course, in proportion
to tbe wealth ol the prince; and the fa
vourite object ol liis all'eetion exhibits the
dignity, and enjoys the privilege of a
ipiccn, though a tpiccn in captivity.
While Iter beauty lasts, she is frequently
regarded w ith feelings amounting to idol
atry ; but when that beauty pusses awttyj
the warmth of love subsides. The fa-,
vouritc, however, while site continues her
ascendency over the heart of her lord, is
treated with sovereign respect through
out the harem.—She smokes her golden
tuhed hooks, the uioiith-pieees studded
with gems, and enjoys the fresh morning
breeze under a verandah that overlooks
the garden of the palace, attended by her
damsels, only second to her in attraction
ol person, and splendour of attire. Here
she reclines iu oblivious repose, and up
on n rich embroidered carpet front tho
most celebrated looms of I‘ersi.t. Thro’
an atmosphere of the richest incense, slut
breathes the choicest perfumes of Arabia,
and lias every tfiing around Iter that can
administer to sensual delight; yet still
she is generally an unhappy being. She
dwells in the midst of u splendid misery
and ungratifying profusion, while all
within Iter is desolation and hopelessness.
Her sympathies are either warped or sti
lled ; her heart is blighted, and her mind
degraded. —Oriental Annual.

earth is man’s only abiding place. It
cannot he tlmt our life is a bubble, cast
up by the ocean of eternity to Moat upon
its waves, ami sink into nothingness.
Lise w hy is it, that the great and glorious
aspirations, w inch leap like tingels jruin
the temple of our hearts, are forever wan
dering about unsutished ? Why is it that
the rainbow and the cloud come over n t
with a beauty that is not of earth, and
then pass oil - lo leave us to nitise upon
their faded loveliness? Why is it that
the stars which ‘hold their festival around
the midnight throne,’ are set above tins
grasp of our limited faculties; for ever
mocking ns with their unupproacliahlo
glory ! And finally, why is it that bright
forms of human beauty are presented to
our view, and then take from us; leaving,
the thousand streams of our nM'ectiou to
Mow hack in tm Alpine torrent upon our
heart*? We are burn for a higher desti
ny than that of earth. There is a realm
where the rainbow never tittles—where
the st irs will spread out before us like
the islands that slumber on the ocean,
and where the beautiful beings which
here pass before it* like shadows, will stay
in our presence for ever.
