Our whole ticket is therefore elected by a handsome ma jority. We have carried the Legisla'ure by a large ma jority. We have gained 46 and last 13—clear gain 33—making a difference of 65 votes in joint ballot, which secures the election of a Senator in Cong ess. Death of Wm. J. Hobby. This estimable and truly good citizen departed this life yesterday, at a very advanced age. Mr. H. was among the oldest inhabitants ot this city, and we believe we but speak the sentiments of all who knew him when we say, that during a long residence in the city lie has so deported himself in all the relations of private life as to command the respect and secure the confidence of a numerous list of friends and acquaintances. Ueasfeij stud Argument. The friends of reform have been again and again ;Temincd that the locofoco organs have addressed , the people in the language of “ reason and argu ment,” and have been replied to by “ invective and slang.” One cf these arguments appeared in | the Corporal’s paper yesterday morning, copied from the Richmond Enquirer. And what do you .thmk it v/js reader ? It was a powerful argu ment, and was no doubt conclusive to locofoco minds. It was, that John M. Bolts, f Virginia, did actual!} - , in 1537, turn off an overseer because the overseer had purloined a bag of meal, and Mr. Botts’ ncgio told his master. Docs any locofoco doubt now,since hearing this “ reason and argument,” that Mr. Van Buren uught to be re-elected ? Certainly not, this is as good a reason as they wanted. Negro Voting. In. the Corporal’s sheet of yesterday we find the following extract from a letter of the Hon. Albert Smith, of Maine, to the editors of the Globe: Portland, Sept. 30, 1310. “ My 'district, which was the focus of the opera tions of the party, and the point to which the exer tions of the Boston aristocracy were mainly direct ed, and where their money teas expended , 1 was beat en by only 30 votes out if I3X >0 ; and this result .Acas brought about by the aid. of lUO negro votes. What a glorious victor y for the Whigs of the South! a member of Congress elected by the abolitionists and negroes. After what had transpired at the polls in this city, at our election, we did not suppose that the locofoco party or its organs would, under any cir cumstances, have the hardihood to refer even to the votes of negroes at the Noith. And as you Teel such a holy horror. Corporal, at the idea of a NEGRO’S voting, can you not advise your readers of thcgivhig of a ticket to a FREE NEGRO in this city by your leader, and the detection of the negro at the polls with an entire locofoco ticket in his hand, and the manner in which he was bus tied out of the City Hall by the indignant Harrison men. As jou, Corporal, set yourself up for a model of fair dealing in political coutroveisy, teii your readers this thing which occuned in this city, and then let them know with what grace you can copy an article making a charge against the officers of Maine for receiving negro votes. The England expects every man to do hi* dv tv.” —Corporal, we do not desire to be inquisi tive, but we are desirous to learn whether you ever heard of a flag with the above motto ? If so, will you inform your readers when, where, and upon >vLat occasion it was hoisted > From the Baltimore American, of October 9, Maryland Election. Triumph oi the Whig Cause! Since our publication of yesterday, return; from various parts of Maryland have reached ua which will be found in det il in the next column They show that great and important change; have taken place in favor of the Whig cause ir soraeof the hitherto strongest Van Buren coun ties, and that MARYLAND WILL GO FOf HARRISON and TYLER beyond all question We may thus briefly sum up the results as lai as .hey have reached us. State Senate,—Seven Senators were elec ted on Wednesday. This body consists of 21 members. Os the 14 whose terms have not ex pired, 10 are Whigs and 4 Van Burenites. The seven Counties which have just chosen Senators were last year represented by 2 Whigs and 5 Van Burenites. Out of these seven, the Whigs thus far have certainly gained one in Washington, one in Cecil, and, by report, one in Queen Anns 'JTie Whigs have lost one in Baltimore City. Worcester County wiil certainly elect a Whig, and illeghany remains to be heard from. The Senate therefore wiil now be composed of 13 or 14 Whigs and 7 or 8 Van Burenites—thus ma ing a clear Whig majority of 6 or 7 in that bo dy. Last year the Whig majority was 3. House of Delegates.—Last year the House consisted of 33 Whigs and 46 Van Burenites— making a Van Buren majority of 13. We have already heard of Whig gains in the following counties, viz: Whig gains. Ann Arundel, 2 delegates. Annopoiis, I Cecil, 3 Frederick 5 Harford, 2 Montgomery, 2 Queen Ann (reported) 3 Washington 4 Talhot, (reported) 3 25 Whig loss in Carroll, 1 Nett Whig gain thus far, 24 delegates. And securing a very large Whig majority in the House. W r e cannot at this time, make a statement of the W aig gain in the popoular vote, but its ex tent may be inferred from the Senato.ial and Delegate gains which have just been referred to. It is absolutely certain that the State of Maryland, which was set down among the Slates “ certain ” tor Van Buren, has gone for Harrison by a large majority, which in No vember will be greatly increased. Delaware Erect. We stated yesterday that New Castle county —heretofore uniformly Jackson and Van Buren —had elected Wliig Inspectors of election by 133 majority. It will now be seen by the retlffejs annexet, that in Kent county live Whig ma-' jority is 341, and that from Sussex, (the remain ing county,) the accounts are such as to warrant the belief that Delaware will go for Harrison by 800 ma jority : Correspondence of U. S. Gazette. Wilmington, Oct. 7, 1840. Dear Sir—Kent county, (Delaware,) gives to the Wb g ticket 348 majority. It has been a very warm contest, and there can be no doubt of Delaware giving 800 majority for Old Tip. We have heard from but one Hundred in Sus sex county, (Cedar Creek,) Whig majority, one hundre i and three. Yours, with respect, Correspondence of Philadelphia Inquirer. Brandywine,Del. Oct 7, 1840. Dear Sir—We have this moment received the returns from Kent county, giving Harrison a majority of 34G. Our election as far as heard from stands thus : New Castle, for “ Old Tip,” 133 Kent, do 346 Cedar creek Hundred, Sussex do 130 Respectfully yours, &c. A New Trick, , Tne Pittsburg American states on the authori. i ty of a respectable gentleman, that two extra Globes are published—one calculated for the ' north, and one for the south. This is Van Bu renism, finely illustrated. What a miserable act of duplicity on the part of the official organ of the Genera! Government ! Honest men of all parties, must advert to it in terms of contempt and indignation. Mr. Steenrod of Virginia Exposed.—This Loco Foco member of Congress from Virginia is now stumping it in Michigan. In one of his re cent speeches he observed that for some things which he intended to say “Ac would probably be called a LIAR by the Whig Editors and Whig orators rtf ter he had left the city .but that THEY DARE NOT DO SO WHILE HE WAS HERE.” With this premise he went on to assert that General Harrison was “never in a battle.” Mr. Steenrod found that he calculated “probabilities” right. The editor of the Detroit Daily Adverti ser thereupon denounced him as a “consummate fool and deliberate bar”-—and to make sure that Mr. Steenrod should be early apprised of his in tentions i i this respect, he sent him the follow ing note: Detroit, Sept 28lh, 1840. Sir—l intend to publish you to-morrow “a consurnate fool and deliberate liar,” for having asserted that “Gen. Harrison had never been in a battle.” I give you this notice now, because I have heard thai. you have asserted that you would pro bably be c alled a liar after you had left, but that no one would dare to do so while vou were here. Yours, &c. GEO. DAWSON. Mr. Steered was extremely indignant, but con cluded to pocket the affront, and hurried off to Ann Arboi with Colonel Johnson to reiterate his infamous slanders against General Harrison.— Cow. <Sf Enq. Virginia State Debt. — By a document which was transmitted to the House of Delegates in January 1839. it appears that the whole a mounlof .he actual debt and actual engagements of the State at that time were $6,227,189 17, Its liabilities under acts authorizing loans for pay ment of subscriptions to Rail Road, (.'anal and Turnpike Companies, were $3,442,120, making an aggregate of liabilities by loan of $9,669,309 17. Scarcely any of the companies referred to, in these acts, have or can come up to the requi sitions of the law, so that not more than about $300,000 have been required to bo raised under those acts, which would make tiie crriifb ales of debt issued by the State of Virginia, equal tho amount of $6,500 000. —Norfolk tieic-in. “ British Whigs.”—The opponents of Mr. Van Buren’s administration complain of this ti tle, which has been given them by a parly in power. Senseless as the designation may appear, IS we do not see why the opposition should take it s. so much to heart. They must be ashamed of i. their ancestry, when they are ashamed of being called British Whigs. The pi grim fathers were British Whigs. Wolfe and Montgomery were n British Whigs. John Milton, John Hampden, i- Algernon Sidney, Henry Vane, John Elliott. Jo seph Addison. John Locke, Barre, Fox and Sher idan, the early vindicators of our colonial liberty and rights, were all British Whigs. Nay, Pat ir rick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, John Adam.® and George Washington himself, were, before the declaration of independence, British subjects and British Whigs. If the appellation then is meant to be an invidious one, it is an insult upon the - ancestry of nine-tenths of the people of this coun e try. If it is meant in a complimentary sense, still it is false and inappropriate, inasmuch as the s epithet can with propriety he given to those only 1 who were born British subjects and not native s Americans.— N. Y. Signal. ’ The Abolitionists courted by the Loco \ Focos.—With ali their pretended objections to Gen. Harrison on the score of slavery, there is no doubt that the Loco Foco parly are giving as ’ suranccs to court the Abolitionists, In Vermont e they ran fur Governor a well known Abolitionist r and Anti-Mason; and in Massachusetts they . are using every means to secure the Abolition ists’ vote. We heard a member of the party in this town, say a dav or two since, that the Loco Focos of Massachusetts are in good spirits he ; cause they had reason to expect the aid of Abo litionists in the Presidential election. — Pet. hit. i Van Boren Management.—Under Mr. Ad r ams’administration, the whole number of officers employed in the collection of the customs, in N. Y. was IG6. In September of last year, the number of persons employed in the same depart ments was 488. In Mr. Adams’ time, the ag gregate salaries amounted to about §120,000; last year they amounted to about §540,000. What an erroneous idea the Van Burcn lea ders had of the present popular movement, when they thought to arrest it by charges against Gen. Harrison ! However worthy Gen. Harrison may be of popular confidence and affection, it is chief ly the sins of the rulers that have conju r ed up the storm which will shortly drive the rulers into retirement. If it had been possible to defend the Administration, this would have been the course for the partisans to pursue ; but this could not he done without obliterating the history ol the few past years. It was a miserable expedient to | attempt by multiplying lies on Harrison to divert the public attention and the public indignation from the manifold sins of commission and omis sion and doctrines of those at .he head of affairs. —Louisville Journal. Every successive Whig victory apj ears to he the signal for the running away of dozens of de faulters. The office-holders seem disposed to make the most diligent use of the brief remnant of their allotted time. The result of the Maine election will occasion an immense wear and tear of shoe-leather,— | Louisville Journal. A few days ago, a small company of gentle men met by chanceata tavern about 10 miles be yond Cincinnati, on the Dayton road. Among them Barrett Webb, one of Washington’s old soldiers. A Van Burcn man present, thinking to manufacture a little political capital, laid his hand upon the old man’s shoulder and exclaimed aloud: ‘-Here, gentlemen, is one of the 500 Re volutionary veterans who rose up and declared their readiness to take off old John Adams’s head for his sedition law.” “I am,” proudly respon ded the old man. “And prav, ruy old . said a Whig, “what do you think of Mr. Buren’s standing army scheme?” “Why, lam as ready to take up arms against him for that scheme as 1 was to lake them up against John Adams for the sedition law,” was the prompt and emphatic response. The locofoco was tongue tied.— Louisville Juu/ ual. Gambling in Russia.—The Droit gives the following letter from tSt. Petersburg as an in stance of the great extent to which gambling is carried in Russia. It is of recent dale:—“The Count de B. formerly one of tho Emperor’s aids de-camp, applied three days ago to the Magis trates, and related that at the house of one of tho resident ambassadors, he made apartv with Gen. G. in which after the complainant, by doubling, tripling and quadrupling the stakes, had lost an immense sum of money. Fortune at last turned in his favor and he not only recovered all his losses, but won in addition 50,000 roubles.— The General having no more money, staked his calesch, with the coachman, a groom, and two fine Arabian horses, which were waiting for him at the door, and lost them. The Count, howev er, would not suffer the General to walk home, hut desired him to return in the carriage, upon an understanding that the whole of the stake should be delivered lire next morning. At the appointed time, the calesch. the coachman, and groom arrived, but without the horses. The ■ General, who had been summoned, fully admit ted the statement of the Count, but expressed a great desire to retain his horses, and offered as an equivalent, the wife and four children of the coachman, all of whom were serfs. After some difficulty, the magistrate prevailed on the Count to accept the proposal of the General, the hu man animals being in fact worth more than the horses.” 1 [Russia, it must be remembered, is one of the : “ twenty-two” foreign governments, which are blessed with the Sun-Treasury system in full operation. Fine country for the winners and the office-holders—not very fine for the mass of the people!] A Tall Business.—The Merchants’ Trans cript of" yesterday, shows our exports during the last twelve months to have been— Cotton 968,703 bales.

About eighteen thou t sand ships and twenty thousand steamboats have been employed in freighting this merchandise, and it has brought, as is computed, fifty thnu - sand strangers and five millions of dollars to New j Orlean.— N. O. Picayune of the 2d. 5 A Thorough-goino Awti-Lamorttf.—A fortnight since a rogue by the name of Detail, was sentenced at Boston to the Massachusetts t State Prison, for stealing, much again-st his in -8 clination. Mr. Lincoln, the Warden, set him to - work in the stone shop, and on Wednesday s morning, in order to Disable himself, attempted to • cut off his left hand with his stone-hammer. - The hammer however, was rather too dull to cut 1 clean through, and he only succeeded in mash* ing his fingers and the hack of his hand. Ho J m!, do two successive blows at his hand. He was •* taken to the hospital and his mangled limb was splintered up as well as it could be. Borne se l ven or right years ago, a piisoner was more sue* r resstul, and cut Ins ham) clean off with nu axe, I but when the stump was healed, they set him to L> work turning « grindstone, and kept him at it till his t ine expired. The Burning Ship. For many years I had never heard from home, but still thefond remembrance of early enjoyments in that sweet spot dung to my soul, and became the subject of many sketches from my pencil, some of which the captain had taken to ornament his cabin. Agnes, in all her loveliness, was always present in my imagination; prompting me to manp an honorable action, and restraining me from every thing which could bring discredit on my affection. To her dear image I was indebted for the respect and esteem I enjoyed from every one on board. The master’s mate had been pro moted to a lieutenancy, and I was appointed to fill the vacant station. Often did I rejoice in my heart at the prospect of once more embracing those who were so dear to me ; and as often did the sickening sensations ofdistracling doubt agit ate my breast. One lovely evening, the sky was beautiful'y serene—the ocean. Ike a clear mirror, reflected the golden rays of the setting sun, and ihe light breeze just lulled the spreading sails to sleep, | propelling the ship almost impeiceptibly along, iat the rate of three knots an hours. It was one j of those evenings that baffle the painter’sart, and , only the poet can portray. The first watch was drawing to a close ; it had struck eleven bells ; the seamen on the look out had proclaimed “All’s well!” and every thing was again hushed to sol emn stillness. I was standing on the gangway, full of pensive musings, watching a bright star, just kindling on the verge of the horizon ; it beam ed like a ray of hope irradiating the gloom which hung heavy upon my heart. Suddenly it expan ded like a glowing meteor, and the ocean was illuminated wi h a rod and gory tinge. I was struck with astonishment; hut at the same mo ment an exclamation resounded fore and ait, “A ship on fire! a ship on fire!” and the horrid con viction was, alas ! 100 evident In a few minutes the flames were distinctly visible, and the ship was pronounced to be above five miles distant. Never before did I witness such alacrity among our crow as in that hour of peiil. The captain and every officer and man were on deck imme diately ; and as it was impossible for the frigate to approach in sufficient time to rescue the suf ferers before ten minutes had elapsed from the period of first noticing the fire, every boat was in motion towards the scene of danger. It fell to my lot to command the captain’s gig, a swill pull ing boat with seven men, who bent to their oars with all the might of bravo and generous spirits. As we drew near, the destructive element raged with increasing fury; and the shrieks of the wretched creatures came mingling with the crack ing of ihe flames and the crash of falling masts. The frigate had fired guns and hoisted lights to show that succor was at hand ; and the boat’s crew occasionally cheered, to announce that they were approaching to their rescue. The shouts were returned from the burning ship, but so wild, so fearful, they sounded like the expiring yell of agony that stili clung to hope and 1 life. I would have dashed instantly alongside, 1 hut the old coxswain respectfully warned me of ■ the dangr rof such a measure, “as the boat, ’ he said, “would instantly fie swamped by the crowds that would rush into her.” We are now within < a short distance of the vessel, and oh! what a sight ofhorror was presented ! The ports were 1 all open, and the flames, pouring from them as ] from so many mouths, seemed eager lor their I prey. Numbers of poor creatures were swim ming towards us, whilst others held pieces ol shattered spars, with strong convulsive grasp., The fore part of the ship was nearly consumed, | and the upper part abaft was rapidly falling in j \ Those who could swim, we left fpr other boats to : | take up; and pulling under the stern, we lay i t unobserved, by the gun room ports, while the fiery fragments came tumbling thick about ns. 1 Trusting to my skill in swimming, should it he : ' deemed requisite to jump overboard, I instantly ‘ entered the port hole ; and the ship having turn- . - ed before the wind, what little air there was drove the greatest part of the smoke forwards; yet there J was almost an insupportable heat, and the suftoca- , ting vapors hid defiance to my efforts to penetrate further. A feeling I cannot account for—an indescribable feeling—urged me on, and I reached the gun room ladder, at the bottom of which lay t a human being, whose sufferings apparently were over. I passed my hand quickly to her heart and ] discovered that the individual was a female; she was yet living and in a few moments she was . safely in the boat. i , Again I returned with three of rny crew, and . 1 soon had toe satisfaction of rescuing eight poor | wretches, who lay in a state of insensibility, and ( | must soon have perished. Stimulated by success, ! vve penetrated to the burning deck above ; and j never shall 1 forggt the horror of the spectacle. ' Here all was brilliancy. Several half burned and , , mangled bodies could be distinguished in the > ] flames. | Near the transom,-sat a mother with an infant t in her arms. She heeded me not, but clasped it • closer to her bosom—gave one wild shriek, and ( mortal agonv was over. The infant was secured. f Numbers that remained sought refuge in the sea. j The female I had saved was still insensible. The | worthy coxswain had wrapped the infant in his £ jacket, which was now sweetly sleeping in the ( box by his side. In the how of the boat a grey headed man i exclaimed, “My eon, my daughter—where are I they ?” Another voice feebly uttered, “My fath- < er.” It was Sir Edward’s son. The female was I raised in my arms, and I recognised my Agnes. i My boat the second time was filled, and we i made for tbe frigate. Suddenly, an awful explo- t sion shook the whole atmosphere, the glare of ( lignt was for a moment increased—the next, a i shower of Mazing timbers fell in every direction I around ; and the pale moon alone shed her silvery effulgence on the transparent wave. No shouts, I no shrieks were to be heard; the bitterness of 1 death bad pa-sed. and all was tranquil as the ; grave. Happily the burning ruins had struck 1 none of the boats. The boats then again repaired 1 to the place, but except the shattered fragments of (he wreck.no trace was left; the swelling bil- i low rolled smoothly on—and that gallant ship, 1 with many a stout heart, w r as buried beneath its deceitful surface. Stili we passed across and ac ross, in every direction, ami long after the sun had kindled up the day, our search was continued —but nothing met our view, except mutilated fragments of human bodies, and pieces of black ened timber. All hands repaired on board, the boats were hoisted in, and the frigate pursued her way to England. The Novice JEronaut’s Sensations—A sketch firm Nature, by an Amateur. And now the appointed hour is come a sea of fellow beings fills the inclosure and sur rounding streets—ten thousand human voices buzz around— twenty thousand human cyescen- ■ Ire upon us alone, the observed of all observers! causing, gentle reader, believe it, not the least overpowering, sensation of the occasion. The inflation is completed—the ballast weighed—the tiny cords detached—our scats taken, and now wearuofl! ye gods, to vis t your fair realms a bove, cheered, on by beauty s upturned, flashing eye—by waving hats and joyous voices.—How sweet the kindred sympathy of man ! Up! up! we go, eight thousand feel above the earth s vile dross. V\ hat high, tumultuous, ex tatic emotions of wild delight—unmingled de light! Shame to the recreant, who at such a time could think of self and tremble, while the accelerated blood coursing through the veins wi‘h a new and heaven-born impulse, lends renewed vigor to the frame. Look down!—what sights burst on the bewildered eye, of streets and gar- < (loiih, of woods and fields—tho grand river, with its isles and carls spotting the gulden sheen—tho glorious works ol God and man, framed in one -f vast dim circular horrizon—seen all distinct as i clear Dagiurretype— maplike spread out before us, imbued with the warm and brilliant lints shed by* the last rays of a gorgeous setting sun. ' Uprose the moon, and uprose we ; down sunk the sun, and down sunk wc; the two round full orbs of dav and night, as if lor one briet instant resting on the far opposite horizons, to dance ah tendance on our air-borne ‘chariot of tiie sky. And now with upturned eyes behold, some hun dred feet above that fleeting, gossamer cloud, sail ing in a double light; catching the glories of both sun and moon —the brightness of two worlds , its western edge gilded and purpled by the setting sun, its eastern silvered and leathered by the slowly rising moon. Beauteous floating imagery of man at the hour of death—himself but pas sing vapor, hovering on a breath between two worlds—on the one hand cheered and warmed by the rays of fond affection seem beaming from the eyes of friends in that world now departing from his mortal view, on the other hand shining and illuminated by a pure celestial light, peering throughs the dens of Revelation’from the throne of the Creator in a coming world, now seen rising to his immortal view. The sun is lost to sight—the gentle twilight steals around us—chill feels the passing air—fast er down wc come—the clouds no longer purple and gold, are gray and vapory. A change, 100, has conic o’er the face of the e.irlh, now cover ing vvi h the mantle of darkness—white mists float over the land—a heaviness attendant on a diminished elevation comes o’er the soul. All earth glooms—for yet the full moon’s rays flow but horizontal above its surface touching not, nor lighting the scene. The etherial, deep blue vault of heaven alone looks cheering, spangled with myraids of little stars, sparkling through the clear air with unwonted brilliancy, serenely beautiful. Anon another ‘change comes o’er the spirit of the dream.’ The moon riues up one quarter high in heaven—slowly and peacefully we glide along above a rolling forest, —‘one boundless con tiguity of shade’ save where the slanting moon light tips the highest knolls of loftiest trees, which, dewy, shone like pearls above the deep black snadow of the valley. Rapidly we loose our buoyancy, and must soon land—but howl or where]—‘Ah there’s the rub.’ Oa for a friendly clearing to take us to its bosom. But none appears. Yes! half a mile ahead, in the due course we follow, a green meadow appears. But faster and faster down vve come—the distance is too great—crash on yonder lofty tree top we must come. Rebounding from the slight twigs, we skip along, like pebble thrown by merry urchin along the glassy surface of the pond; now on a pliant beech; then on a sturdy oak; each bound decreasing as w c rush along. For now, in devi ous course, like helpless thistledown we move on the wings o‘ the wind where ever it listeth, whirl ing and edying among knobs. At last the clear space is gained. Down goes the grapnel firmly catching on the edgemost tree, when, round, obe dient to the strain, gently down we swoop, hawk like, into the plain beneath, scattering a group of gazing country folks, who gathering round with vacant stare and wondering look, admire our lit tle car the wonder of that little world. Old mother earth, once more we greet thee with heartfelt joy and gratitude. Not long the parting, yet happy the meeting. How much in that little have we prised thee ! ‘ Though Lost to sight to memory dear.’ florin these days of the people’s triumph over their oppressors, what can be more appropriate than those well-known lines of Elliott, the Eng lish Blacksmith ? “ How are the mighty fallen ? And by the people’s hand ! Low lie the proud, And smitten by the weapons of the poor— The blacksmith’s hammer and the woodman’s axe Their tale is told ! And for that they were rich. And robbed the pooi ; and for that they were strong. And scourged the weak; and for that they made laws That turned the sweat of Labor’s brow into blood; For these their sins, the Nation casts them out !” The Louisville Journal of a late dale con tains the following apt illustration: a “ Up, Democrats of Kentucky !’ exclaims the Frankfort Yeoman. They-.can answer like the Yankee, who was told by to jump up after being knocked down who still stood over him in a threatenm* altitude. ‘Why, what’s the use of my getting up,’ exclai med Jonathan, ‘when that darned great fellow stands ready to knock me right down again ]’*’ Impostures of thk Turkish Dervishes.— The performance of a sect of these pretended de votees I witnessed at Bagdad. They asrrnbh don Fridays, in a small open square, which was over looked by the lei races of ttie Residency. A lit tle circle of spectators was formed, and the service began with a prayer by an Imam, standing in the centre. This ended a row of players beat their small drums, and the exercises commenced First there stepped into the circle a man, ba e headed, and naked from the waist upward, lie carried in his hands two irons, in the shape of - horns. Another followed, with the upper part of his person exposed like the first, but car rying a sword in his right hand. A third bore two rods of iron, sharpened, like the horns, at one end, and terminated, at the other, by wooden halls. Thi se revolved upon the rods, and, as they revolved, little bits of iron which hung about them swung out and bristled on every side. As the music played these devotees became excited, or, as they would say, inspired. They began to dance. The fust struck the sharp ends of the thorns with great apparent violence into his side. The second seized the blade of his sword with his left hand, holding the handle in the right, and beat the edge with all his might against his stom ach. Tne third brandished his rods, msue the balls revolve, and then struck the projecting irons with great violence against his temples and eyes. He would then thiust the pointed extremities of the rods into his cheeks, and walk about with the balls elevated in the air. After the man with the sword had beat him self for a few minutes, be pressed the weapon upon his ? stomach with great force, and at the same time, stooped forward, the flesh closed over it, so that he appeared as he pretended to be, half cut in two. In this posture he advanced to an Imam seated in the circle, who laid hold of it by the two extremities and carefully drew it out, the worshipper, at the same time, gradually straight ening himself, and presenting, when he was again erect, a body entirely uninjured, while all the time the people stared, and gazed, and wondered. During the performance of these juggleries, they cried, with each blow, Allah, while the officiating Imam, ever and anon, called at the top of bis voice to the people, to pray to the prophet. The Solution of the whole was, that these pretenders prefessed to b« inspired with divine tury, whilst their sanctity rendered them invulnerable, (jfod and the prophet were invoked to save them from harm, of which, in truth, there was no danger, as the sword had no edge, and the other instru ments no points, and they took care, in using them, that the force of the blow should be arrrst ed just as it reached the body.— Sou/// trait's Travels in Turkey and Persia."
