The New York Star mentions, aij a proof of the attention which the culture of Uilk will probably receive in that State, that one jar gon in the city of New York has sold in email parcels, to farmers and others, five hundred ounces of silk worms eggs within the last days.

The River has risen exceedingly, since 5 The late heavy rains—about 37 feet. It was ealijl to be two feet higher yesterday, than perhaps (iver known before, and still rising. The water* Ivas within one and a half or two feet of the flijov of the Bridge, and some fears were entertained for its safety. The banks are overflowed, even into the Canal, on this side, and a number of ]«‘ole and Canal Boats have been swept away, and (ton siderable cotton, lime, and salt, that was in o’»en stores on tlie bank. ‘ I Indian News, outrage upon outrage, twen ty men killed, two wounded, three lif tod Hounds killed, four men missing T Jacksonville, May 24. We are a doomed people. Destruction seems to threaten us on every side. Week after week adds to the painful list of victims of Indian treachery. If the tide of slaughter is net slop ped, the savage will again roam at large, master of our forest, and lord of our domain. Soon our cities villages and towns will be deserted, and the shrill war-whoop of the red skin, and the dis mal hooting of the swamp owl, will take ;the place of the bustle of rationaUmproveraent, md the hum of rational interprise. Let such recitals as the following awaken those who are interes ted, respectively, some to a prompt discharge of those duties devolving upon tliem, and o.hers to a lively sense of the danger to which they ; are surrounded. | On Wednesday, 20lh inst. while a Lieuten ant and two men were passing between Micino py and a place called “ Black Point,” they were surprised and fired on by a party of Indiansthe Lieutenant and one man wounded and one kil- Jed. Same evening, Lt. Sanderson, in com mand of Micanopy, while on a scout with 13 or 20 men, discovered a fire in the woods, and on going to see from whence it proceeded was sur rounded by about 50 Indians. Lt. S. and bine men, three Blood Hounds and their keepet killed upon the spot, and four men missing. On Fri day, news reached Newnansville that three men were killed between Posts No. II and 12. On Thursday, a scout discovered a trail of about 100 Indians, in the *• Wolf Hammock,” six miles south of Newnansville. In addition to the above, we have intelligence of 5 men being killed between Picolata and St. Augustine, within six miles of the latter plate. This happened on Friday, the 22d instant. Those killed were two carpenters, belonging to Pic-data who were shot from a public wagon,-three Ajiiora attached to Mr. Forbes 'Theatrical Corps,-who were going to St. Augustine to perform. Luck ily, however, Mr. Forbes and the Actresseij had passed some lime before. News has also reached us by the General Clinch, that “Fort Crum,” or the settlement where Fort Crum was originally located, wsj.s at tacked, and all in the settlement killed. This latter intelligence was brought by -express to Black Creek, on Saturday the 23d instant and is no doubt correct. Thus wo have a fearful record of at least twen ty lives, as victims to the utterly defenceless:state in which a great part of our country now is, and has been since the discharge of the volunteers. Experimenting in this matter, is preposterous. Nothing but the most decided energetic action, and that unremittingly continued, will ke«*p the savage in check, or afford out sufleting citizens any protection. The carpenters named above as being killed between St. Augustine and Picolata, were a Mr. J. P. Miller, recently from Brunswick, G;*. and Mr. Daniel C. Vose, formerly of the same place, both personal acquaintances of ours. Mr.- Vose was not killed, hut was found the day following in the words, a short distance from when? they were shot, having broken a blood vessel by'exer tion in attempting to escape, in a -stale of insen sibility. ‘ Mr. Miller was killed on the spot. He was a ■man of many good qualities: a useful and- wor thy citizen; a kind father, a devoted husband, and an industrious hard workig man. fie has left a wife and several children, together with a numerous circle of relatives and friends to ikiourn his untimely and inhuman butchery. | Correspondence of the National Intelligencer . New Yorf. ’ v ”siyi27. 1 he number of emigrants arriving at this port is very great. Every ship from Liverpool Lon don, or Havre, has a full complement of i-ijserage passengers. They are generally a be! UJr class than we have seen for some years, and yiost of them immediately embark for Albany their way to the Great West. About one thousand arrived yesterday and tire day before. Specie continues to be exported. Every pack et takes more or less. The last Havre packet took out $300,000 ; and large amounts ate to go next week. J The Locofocos of Vermont held a contention last week, and nominated Mr. Van Buren for President, and Cci. Johnson for \ ice President. Paul Dillingham, jun. was nominated for'Gover nor. Ex-Governor Van Ness heads thc jElccto •ral ticket. j A V enerable Pear Tree.— The N, York Com mercial tells of a pear tree still liivng in t!i.at city, which was planted by Governor StuyvotiUKt, about the year IGI7. I “ Mysterious.”— I The Fleaiinsbuig!| Ken tuckian of the 15th ult., says—“ Upon a requisition from the Governor of South Carolina, tvqo here tofore highly respectable citizens of Bath'county, were given up a few daysVmcc, aud s.re jiow on their way to that State with a strong gujird and in irons.” What crime were they guib j ol? Leaves from History.— We give the follow ing as a sample of what the “ Demoarats ol 1312 thought of General Harrison. It is copied from that consistent paper, the Albany Argus, of Novem her 2d, 1813 : We have the satisfaction of announcing to our | readers, that the United Elates brigs Niagara, Cale- j donia, and Hunter, the schooners Ariel and Provost, and ilia sloops Trippe and Little Bell, arrived off Buffalo Creek this day with Com Perry and Gen. Harrison on board To describe the public joy exhibited on the appearance ol the gallant and brave men,to whom the inhabitants on a froniicr of a thousand miles owe their peace and security, we will merely state, that the heroes were very hand somely saluted by Col. Chapin, from our battery with three hearty cheers, which was returned in a very appropriate manner by the fleet. Hear what Wm. H. Crawford says in 1820, j while Secretary of the Treasury, in his report to Congress, speaking of the Currency: “ An immediate depression in the prices of all 1 commodities would be the inevitable consequence j of an unqualified return to a metallic currency, upon the supposition that the quantity of gold and silver annually produced should remain un- i diminished. But, if this return to a metallic cur rency should be attempted at a period when the annual product of these metals, either from tem porary or permanent cases, should have consid erably decreased, all the great interests o: society would be most seriously disordered ; property of every description would rapidly fall in value; the relations between creditor and debtor would be violently and changed ; this change greatly to the ; the property which would be his debts would exceed that wh had received from creditor; the one would be ruined without the imputation of crime, whilst the other be enriched j without the semblance of merit. Until the en- 1 gagements existing at the moment of such change are discharged, and the price of labor and com modities is reduced to the proportion w hich it must bear to the quantity of currency employed as the medium of their exchange, enterprise of every kind will be repressed, and miseryjand dis tress universally prevail.” Testimony, —The late editor of the Peters burg Constellation, a favorite organ. of the Van Buren party in Virginia, is now editor of the Star, a neutral paper, published at the same place. In a recent number of the Star the late partizan editor thus bears testimony against the conduct and policy of the Administration party : “ The Democrats are bewailing their defeat, and wondering at the cause. We will explain it in a few words. Since the first of December, the Administration and its friends have made three false moves on the political chess-board sufficient to condemn it and them, for prudence and pro priety, in the est imat ion of all thinking men oj both parties. The first was the proceeding on the New Jersey question—the second was the coalition between Mr. Van Buren aud Mr Cal houn—and the third was Mr. Poinsett’s plan for I organizing and arming the militia. To those three causes is to be ascribed the defeat oflhe Ad ministration party in Virginia at the recent elec tion—an election more important in its effects upon the Presidential contest than any which has taken or is yet to take place in any State of the Union. Regret can avail nothing now to our an cieEl friends; and it will be well for them if it he not too late to gather wisdom for the future from the er ors of the past. Prospects in Tennessee. —The revolution in Middle Tennessee in favor of Harrison, if the intelligence be true, and we have no reason to doubt it, is unexpected and even astounding. One of our citizens, just returned from Maury county, says the changes there are actually as tonishing and that it is generally conceded that Mr Van Buren will not get over 300 majority, although it gave a Van Buren majority last sum mer of 911. The gentleman offers to hack his opinion by betting a suit of clothes. Giles coun ty also, which gave 334 majority for Van Buren ticket last summer, it; is said will now certainly give Harrison a majority. In the edge of Maury or Lawrence, the gentleman found forty laborers at work on the road, among whom there were but four Van Buren me* He tells us that no one can believe, who doe o not travel and see it, that there is such an agonizing revolution in Tennessee. But it is every where.- the face of the whole Confederacy is troubled & shaken with it; it is almighty and overwhelming; and the like of which has never been witnessed, not even in the rc-eleclion of Gen. Jackson. — Memphis En quirer. The Poland. —The Journal of Commerce mentions 9000 lbs. of whalebone as among the cargo of the Poland. The specie and cargo on board the vessel are said to be mostly insured in France. A Gloomi Pictcre. —The Pittsburgh Intelli gencer gives a melancholy account of this once prosperous place. During the past year between 4000 and 5000 persons have left the city, from their inability to obtain employment. Three fourths of the manufacturing industry has fallen off for want of sales. An extensive Foundry which produced $300,000 worth of castings a year, has entirely suspended, and discharged all hands. From another iron establishment, 100 workmen have been discharged, and every estab lishment in the city has been compelled by the insane policy of the administration to curtail its operations to almost nothing. In more prosperous times, says the Intelligencer out of about 200 drays and caits, it was very difficult to get a load of merchandize hauled with out delay and inconvenience, now three-fourths of the number arc idle more than half their time ; then every industrious man, woman and child coming to our city could get employment im mediately and their pay every Saturday night, now our mechanics are obliged to go to fishing, or to labor in the country for 18 3-4, 25 or at most 37 1-2 cents a day. From the Newark Daily Advertiser. A Sign.—The Pennsylvania Keystone, Gov. Porter’s organ at Harrisburg, has taken from its mast head the toast of Senator Buchanan in fa vor ol the Sub-Treasury, where it has been float ing for about a year past. The same paper has the following sensible par agraph : Pennsylvania occupies a commanding position in the heart of the Republic—her wealth and re sources are boundless—their development de pends upon the fostering care bestowed upon the imprisonment and credit systems. This was understood by the convention of 1838, as it is understood by a large majority of the people. A war upon EITHER of these systems WILL PROSTRATE any party that carries it on. They were CREATED by the Democratic party, and by the Democratic party let them be PERFEC TED.” It is the general understanding at Washington that the American embassy in Spain has been razed from the highest grade to a secondary one for the purpose of getting rid of Gen. Eaton. We presume the General will hardly be able to appreciate the economy of the measure. The Madisonian says he was recalled early in the year, and that orders were sent to the London bankers not to honor his draft after the Ist of May. It is also said that there is an attache of the American embassy in Spain said to have held a rod of some power over Mr. Van Buren which sprung out of the dissolution of General Jack son’s Cabinet. Hence the caution exercised in removing the man, by abolishing the office. Mr. Van Huron’s friends are evidently alarmed by the prospect of loosing their places, and are exerting every possible influence to withstand the tide of public sentiment. The Pennsylvanian contains 22 columns of names, appended to a call fora public meeting in the State House yard, i Philadelphia, this afternoon in favor of Van 13u ren and Johnson. The whole number of sig natures is about 50 n 0—from the city and coun try. The Madsonian nays Mr. Kendall has accom panied his letter with an address to the people of the United States, which is characteristic of the author, in style and spirit. Every card, circular and address he sends out is accompanied with his beggar’s petition. He designs to levy a rent on those he deludes, after the fashion of Daniel : O’Connell. Indiana. —The assemblage on the Battle Ground ! of Tippecanoe on the anniversary, it is supposed. will not be less than 3t)0(X) men. Prodigious? j But they have nothing else io do. The meeting we presume will be opened as McMahon, the Baltimore chairman, did, “ The Nation will please come to or der." From the Richmond Whig. Van Burea’s Standing Army. “ The humbug of the Standing Army, and the ‘ details of the Militia Bill, have particularly oper ated upon us with a tremendous force. The de tails of the bill and the insidious use which has been made of them, have contributed, moie than any other cause, to snatch a billiant victory from our hands. But the day of delusion is rapidly passing away.—The time is coming, when it will be shown, upon the highest authority, that the President has not sanctioned the Secretary’s bill. The details of the measure were called for by a resolution of the House—addressed directly to Mr. Poinsett, and the answer was sent directly by him to the House.—Such has been the uni form practice of the Government in similar ca ses. The Secretary makes the Report, and he alone is responsible for its propositions.”— Ritch ie's Preface to his Book against Central Harri \ 50/2.] What a fall is heie, my countrymen ! What a change since the days of the Hero of two wars and forty broils ! Then, the doctrine was, that the President was alone responsible for the acts of his Cabinet Ministers. He was the only member of the Executive Department known to the People—his Cabinet were his mere creatures and hirelings, and he was answerable to the country for whatever they said or did. He did assume this responsibility, and made it the justi fica'ionof many a high-handed measure. He and his men contended that the opposite doctrine was the one recognized and practiced in the mon archies of Europe. There, the Kings were not amenable to the People, but their Ministers, by whom they acted, were. The “ Old Hero” pri ded himself in acting in opposition to this princi ple of European despotisms. 7/e assumed the responsibility. But now his puny successor takes the opposite track—he skulks from all responsi bility. His creature, who holds office but at his beck and nod, has prepared a plan, the President recommended it—but when the People discover it to be Federal and monarchical, and threaten to eject him from office—O ! he never saw it, and certainly never approved it—lt’s all the work of my Secretary—l wash my hands of it. This is the aspect in which the Editor of the Enquirer would present his friend and patron, Mr. Van Buren—a dastard and a hypocrite—a compro miser of his friend to subserve his own interests. If Mr. Van Buren shall be mean-spirited ( enough to occupy the position assigned to him by his advocate, or if the Secretary of War shall consent to be made a scape-goat of to screen his master, at the expense ornuib, unluckily for both the selfish meanness of the one, and the truckling subserviency of the other, will avail neither of them anything before an enlightened public. The past cannot be recalled —the records of the coun try cannot be obliterated. It is written, and can not be denied, that the Secretary in his annua! report in December last, gave the outlines of Ids military scheme, and added ; “ The details had belter be left subject to regulation—a PLAN of which Jam PREPARED to submit to you.” We ask especial attention to the phraseology. He was then prepared with his plan , which, plan, upon a call of the House, he afterwards submitted to Congress in the shape of a bill. But this PLAN, which was at that time prepared and which was laid before Congress three months afterwards, and thus endorsed by the President in his annual message: “ The present condition of the defences of our principal seaports and navy yards, as repre sented by the accompanying report of the Se cretary of War, calls for the early and serious at tention of Congress ; and, as connected with this subject, I cannot recommend too strongly to your consideration the PLAJV submitted by that officer for the organization of the militia of the United Slates .” Can any man doubt but that the President de signed to be understood as approving, and actu ally dia approve of thePL\N, which was the bill, and which was then PREPARED ? The effort of the President and his friends to shuffle off the responsibility, under such circum stances, for every man whom it may impose up on, will, by its mingled falsity and cowardice, dis gust twenty others. We may continue to re spect a bold, frank man, when in error, and even forgive his errors ; but when he seeks to screen himself by cowardice and falsehood, the original offence becomes aggravated, and he deserves only scorn and detestation. The Motion of the Ball. The public press is teeming with proofs of the popularity of the great cause of Harrison and Reform. The People have taken the matter into their own hands, and are resolved to carry it through. Among the recent indications of their enthusiastic determination to rescue the Consti tution from the Spoils party, is the great conven tion of the free and independent voters of western Pennsylvania, western Virginia, and the neigh boring counties of Ohio, held at West Alexandria, Pennsylvania, on the 21st ult. The gnumber of persons present is variously estimated at from eight to ten thousand. Buch an assemblage (says the Wheeling Gazette) has never been wit nessed in this quarter ot the world. The farmer left his agricultural pursuits, the mechanic his workshop, the lawyer his books, the physician his medicines, andall classes of society joined togeth er in displaying their uncompromising opposition to the destructive measures of the present Ad ministration, and their determination, by placing honest and capable men at the head of our Gov ernment, to restore it to its former purity, and our country to its wonted prosperity. We feel that any description we may give of this great meeting of the People will be exceedingly im perfect, and y T et vve will attempt to show to our friends abroad the enthusiasm and zeal which prevails among the members of the partv, here as well as elsewhere. In front of the procession was a banner, on which was beautifully painted the. Virginia coat of arms, with the motto “ The Old Domin ion is coming." Next came the soldiers of the Revolutionary war, in an open barouche. Then followed the sold ers of the late war in carriages, bearing a banner, on which was painted the American shield, with, on one side, the imple ments of war, and on the other the implements of husbandry. In the centre ot the shield was in scribed “ The living witnesses of the bravery ,. talents , and patriotism of their old commander General William Henry Harrison." After sev- eral emblematic and descriptive represent aliens, came “the lion of the day,’ a large ball, twelve feet in diameter, which was rolled along the entire distance. This ball was a wooden frame, covered with linen, painted in red and white stripes alternately, and bearing an inscrip tion for each State in the Union, as follows : Maine —Daughter of Massachusetts —honor thy mother. New Hampshire —She is joined to her idols —let her alone. Vermont —Whig now —'A hig heretofore — Whig always. Massachusetts. —Firm in W hig principles — tireless in duty- Connecticut —The land of steady habits and pure patriotism. Rhode Island.—Lillie in body, but great in soul. New Jersey —Locofoco Congressmen tried to disgrace her—her people will make her respec ted. New York —Reform-the second sober thought of the People. Delaware —She never bowed to the golden calf. Maryland —The heart of the Union —will drop her last blood for the Union. Pennsylvania —Honors the brave, loves the patriot, and clings to libeily. Ohio—The nation will rest in peace under the shade of her buckeye. Virginia —Her course is onward. Indiana —Her defender in war will be her de fender in peace. Michigan —Young in years —ripe in Whig principles. Illinois—True to her country and its defend ers. Missouri—The ball is rolling there. Louisiana —Her capital has set the example, the State will follow. Mississippi —Plenty of stripes, but few stars. Tennessee —She mourns her best beloved, and will cherish his principles. Kentucky —Virginia has many daughters, but thou excellest them all. North Carolina — Kip Van Winkle is a wake. South Carolina —Like the ball, always tur ning. Georgia —Redeemed, regenerated, disenthrall ed. Alabama —Wc fear, but not as they who have no hope. Arkansas—Young, but learning wisdom. After the fall, came in succession the young Tippecanoe club, the Harrison association of Wheeling mechanics, the delegation from Ohio, citizens of Wheeling, the delegation from Short creek, the delegation from Triadelphia and the surrounding country, the delegation from the eastern portion of Ohio county, and numerous other township and county delegations. Among th-s banners borne by that last named was one representing a Sub-Treasury Chest —two per sons were making tracks from it, with bags label led $150,000 and $200,000, and another one was in the act of helping himself. A man, with a mask on, was holding the door open, and inviting his friends to come up and fid their pockets in a hurry, as it would shortly be closed. Another j represented a laborer at work—his child begging him for bread, and he replying that his taxes { must be paid before he could provide for his fam- i ily. One of the party was looking on, and ted- ; ing him that German laborers only get ten cents | a day, and he ought to work for the same. After the procession had arrived at the stand provided for the officers, Thos. M. T. McKen nan, the late distinguished Representative in Congress, was chosen President. Vice Presi- ; dents and Secretaries were also elected. Upon taking the chair, Mr. McKennan addressed the meeting in an able manner. He expressed his gratification at the tremendous outpouring of the Whigs of the western portb ns of Pennsylvania and Virginia and the neighboring counties of Ohio, and most eloquently portrayed the causes which had brought them together. He examin ed the leading measuies of the Administration and showed the sub-Treasury scheme in all its j natural deformities, exhibited the effects of the | rnal-administration of our Government, and poin- i ted out the remedy. Powerful and eloquent addresses weie then made by Dr. Elder, of Pittsburg, Mr. Willey, of Monongalia county, Mr. Cowan, of St. Clairs- ' ville, Ohio, Mr. Stewart, of Uniontown, Penn- : sylvania, and Mr. S. Sprigg, of Wheeling, Vir ginia. After Mr. S. had finished, the meeting j adjourned till after dark. The Better Currency. — The editor of the Ninawah Gazelle, published at Peru, Illinois, gives us Ihe following idea of the “ belter currency” about his pans. If any thing was wanting to show the extraordi- > nary change which has been produced in our mone- j tary affairs, whatever may be the causes assigned for that change, the present character of ourcircula- | ling medium in this vicinity, would afford evidence sufficiently strong to convince ihe most sceptical on this point. The year ’37 was distinguished par j excellence, as the * era of shin-plasters.’ But bad as ifiai *era’ was, it was ‘cakes and sugar plums,’ when compared with the present. We recollect at that lime, when journeying from this place to the east byway of lha ‘ southern schute,’ the great in- i convenience to which travellers were subjected in procuring change lor bank notes of five dollars and upwards, particularly in Pennsylvania and ISew Jersey. But even then, by offering the bills of re spectable banks, we could, at, least half the lime, by insisting upon it, get specie or other bank notes in I change; and bank bills of the denominai ion of five ! and ten dollars were abundant. But now we can | hardly travel out of our own precinct upon any terms except ‘tick’ or charity. Bank bills have almost entirely disappeared from circulation, and their place is supplied wholly by ‘ script,’ most of w hich is payable in ‘ merchandize,’ and none of it redeemable at all, unless a person is fortunate enough to obtain the ‘small script’ to the amount of one hundred dollars, in which case he can exchange it for a ‘ script’ note of that denomination. Farmers and market-men refuse to take it, while the mer chants, by charging a sufficient advance upon their goods, will receive it to a certain extent- A very few dimes and half-dimes, which pass for ‘ bits’ and ‘pics’ are in circulation, while now and then, a stray ‘ bogus’ Mexican dollar, or American half dolloi, may be seen passing mrtively—like the slan ders upon Gen. Harrison—from hand to hand among ihe Loco Focos. Surely, the ‘ poisoned c halice’ has been returned to their own lips with a vengeance! But the ‘ yellow boys’ are entirely out of the question with us, even among the Sub- Trcasurers, notwithstanding the ‘ Mississippi’ has been high enough lo ‘ float up’ all that ihe branch mint at .New Orleans could have coined in a week. Novel Experiment.— A canal boat was sunk in October last in the Delaware near Vine street wharf, Philadelpha, and on Tuesday apian was put in operation to raise it. At low water a sloop was moored directly over it, and fastened to it by chains which were taken down and secured by a man of nearly sixty years, an expert swimmer and diver. The result it appears by the Ledger was successful, the sloop raising the sunken vessel with the flow of the tide. U. S. District Court, N. Y.—Capt. Wil liam J. Rogers, master of the whale ship Beaver, recently arrived, was on Monday anested by Mr. Quarry, deputy assistant U, S. marshal, on charge of having, in September, 1837, while cruising off Savage island, in the South Pacific, forcibly put on shore and left behind one of his crew, named John Brown. Capt. Rogers was required to find bail in SSUO for his appearance on Tuesday for examination, and procuring which he was liber ated. We understand that the defence of Capt. Rogers is, that the seaman himself preferred go ing on shore to remaining in tbe ship, and that in proof of which lie will produce a certificate to that effect signed by Brown, i The above is the case of the captain of the whale ship, charged in an article originally pub lished in a Troy paper, with having delivered up one of his crew to he devoured by cannibals. It appeared at the time too monstrous for belief.— N. l r . Cour. 4' Enq, A case was before the Tribunal of Commerce, at Bordeaux, wherein a man had refused to pay a note, drawn “ at sight,” on the ground that his eyes were so had that be did not know when he should be aide to see it, and of course the note would not he due until then. From U Hd's vtsit to Egypt. The Pacha’s College and School of Medicine. I was transferred to the care of Doctor Seher who conduced me through the College and school ot medicine, which forms a part of the building us lire h-spital, so that the student has but to cross the court from his dormitory to the ward, and can pro ceed trorn ihenre in a few minutes In the dissecting theatre or lecture room, become acquainted with materia inedica under the same roof in which he sleeps, an.i enjoys his morning’s walk in the botanic garden heneorh h;s window, besides this they are all required to become acquainted with practical operative chemistry; and for that purpose are sent for a certain time to work at die chloride ot lime and saltpetre manufactories. This system, added to 1 that ot the general medical education here given, is | one well worthy of imitation in Great Britain, and j reflects no small < red it on its founder Clot Bey. At the date ol ray visit there were students in the college, who were fed clothed and educated and paid by the Pasha. The dormitories and o'her a partmen's of these t'oung men were clean and airy, and they themselves appeired orderly attentive.— They all wear a uniform, are regularly drift d as solcicrs, and rise in rank and pay according to their proficiency. The pay varies from 20 to 50 piasters a month ; and tiny are allowed out of the college once a week, on the sabbath. 'J he nominal duration of study is five years ; hut the greater number arc drafted oil in t he army or na vy after three years ; some few' remain as long as | seven.

The rnaj irity of the j professors are French, and the salary is somewhat ! more than JJ2OO a year. They are obliged to wear j thy Kgyptian uniform and shave the head, but no sacrifice of religion or principle is demanded ; and I need hardly remark that all Europeans, or Chris tians, Eie under the protection of their respective flags, and should they be convicted of any misde meanor, must be handed over to their Consul. The labraiory contained a good chemical appara tus and Ihe dissecting room several subjects. This letter indispensable requisite to medical education it would b scarcely o; to mentioning but I hat it oc curred among a people whoso strong leligiius pre judices prohibited even the tombing of a dead body in some cases; and the introduction of this novel science was one of the most difficult things Me turned Ah had to enforce for a long time.
