at Hutinsa they niuilu oxciireionn :<und it,

for threo days, visiting another city, which
will bo found in Cht| jmrtnn’n map, called
Youri, directly north of Boussa. At the end

water in tho river hnd been rising, from the

were told would bo requisite to ensure their

dosceiid, and soon found Ihe river easterly
till they reached the vicinity ofFunda; which
city should bo placed on the Maps at least

Near Fonda the Niger was joined by a largo
river, which, from description, wns doubtless
Ihe Slinry, anti which tho natives Haiti came
in a direct line from Tchad Luke, distant
fifteen days journey in tho north east, thus
clearly proving that the Niger receives
from instead of extending its waters into that
lake. With regard to tho Tchad lake, it
was understood it sent out its waters to
other rivers further cast than Funda, niiij
running to tho southward, most probably
supplying the grout rivers Zaire and Congo.
Below Funda, ut a place called Tlurrce,those
adventurous travellers were pursued and cap
tured by a licet of 30 or 40 war canoes. In
tho pursuit (it docs not appear why the Lan
ders should have lied) their canoes were
bwnmpud.und till their writings, collections,
ami instruments were lost. Tins took place
about ton duys journey from the const. Tie:
natives of Thirre, after their capture, treated
them kindly, and forwarded them towards
tho coast. Below Funda they fell in with n
river which branched to the westward, and
which they ascertained to be the river Bonin.
They reached the sea by tho Nun river, a
few miles to the eastward ofVape Formosa,
and about two degrees from Badngry, front
whence they started. They conjectured
they had come down tho Niger nt least IKK)

the exact position and distances of the many

Hurricane.— 1 The gale of the 23d Juno, in
some ofthe West India Islands, proved very
destructive ; particularly at Tobago and Gre
nada. A letter frum the last mentioned Isl
and nnys :—
“A dreadful gale was experienced here on
Thursday last, and which was the most se
vere we have ever experienced, as learned
from Ihe oldest inhabitants, since the great
hurricane at* 1780. It commenced blowing
from the N. E. -it about 10 A. M. and in
creased as the day proceeded, cxhib tmg in
solent anticipation what wns to be the result.
All the vessels in the harbor were aeon ma
king preparatory measures to combat or avert
its approaching fury; but, alas! about half
past 12 the wind veered to the southward,
and continued to blow with impetuous vio
lence until 5 P. M. when it gradually abated.
The fir.-t dawn ofthe ensuing morning ex
hibited to the eye ofthe beholder a most dis
tressing scene of destruction. As fur ns the
eye ran reach in town, are seen appearances
of the awful visitation. Several small houses
are completely blown down ; and fragments
of demolished fences, tiles, and trees blown

Marriages ofForei .nf.rh iff France.—
A circular lms been udtlressetl by tho Minis
ter of Justice to the locul authorities in Franc
stating ttmt the laws of several neighboring
countries forbid nutives from marrying abroad
without un authority from their own govern
ments, and that French women having mar
ried sttc.lt persons, on going to their husband’*
countries, their marriages were declared in
valid, and their children illegitimate. Tin
French Government, therefore determines to
require of every foreigner, who wishes to
marry in France, n certificate fro n tin* au
thor ties of his birih-place, or last resilience
in his country, stating that there is no obsta
cle to his contracting marriage in France.
Paris Gaming Houses.—The number of
these licensed enfers is seven, viz., four in

seventeen tables for pity, and 150 employers,
exclusive of spies, flat-catchers, ami decoy-
ducks. The adininislrution of these infernal
regions pay annually to the city of Pahs, six
millions, fifty-live thousand, and one hundred
francs for the exc usive privilege of ruining
twenty or thirty thousand families every year
the city has, more or loss a certain per cen-
tngo upon three-fourths of them the bank

whether he has a distinguished appearance,

The following hints if practised upon by
families in the thickly inhabited parts of the
town, will infallibly preserve their own health
and comfort, und spare them the necessity
of defiling tho high-ways and by-ways among
which they reside.
1. Always keep a supply of tho chloride of
linte on hand.
2. Burn all your kitchen offal offish, flesh,
fowl and vegetables, instead of throwing th< m
into the street, or treasuring them up to feed
the pig of some favourite acquaintance of tho
COOK.
3. Throw a portion ofthe chloride ofLinio
into your kitchen slops and dirty water, it
will immediately remove any bad smell arising
from them, anti you may then empty them
into the atr* et without offending tho olfacto
ry organs of the passing citizens. A tablo
spoonful of tlift chloride will suffice to purify
five or six gallons ofthe most nnu-eous fluid,
and will cunt but one cent—a cheap correc
tive of many scents.
4. Sweep out ull the dirt nnd litter from
your houses, cellars nnd enclosures, every
morning before 10 o’clock, and duposite the
same with the sweepings of the street
before your door, in the middle of ihe street.
5. There ait* holes and corners about every
house, which in close, suhry; damp weather
(like that we huve just now) are liable to emit
d'sagrooablo odors-sprinkle them with a very
htt'.e of your chloride of lime, nnd they will
become sweet.—Norfolk Herald.

It has been said, that the throe great events

What a strange kind of an nnimolj, woman

in short, she is n kind of moral “ half-way

picture, another look may shew her, beautiful
in person, enlightened in mind, holding with
in Iter grasp, tho talisman which would se
cure to her, health, prosperity, and happi-
ness, and yet casting it away in scorn, to
ntander an object of pity and contempt for oil
