‘Ziila, my dm ling. I’ll see you hanyed first'.'
ponded the cobbler, 'a pretty time it will

Contrary to his expectations, no answer, eitli*

and trimming hi* lamp, sat himself down to his

Early in the morning, Ziila found her husband
asleep on the floor, and snoring loudly, with
the time* at hie aide. He had kept hit word;
but at tho la«t moment, sleep had claimed him.
With something of compassion, she thrown
clonk over him and allowed him to slumber on
while she piepnred breakfast for the stranger*,
which being done, she *al her*elf down to awaii

Shop after shop had opened on the street,
and the sun wa* gilding the hottseitops; but as
yet there wa* no sound of stirring in the strain

Ziila ventured to tap lightly at the door. She |
listened, blit no answer was returned. Again
slid again she knocked, with the like success.
Surprised, she lilted the latch and the door gave
wav beneath bet forcible piWMue.
Every thing in the room wa* exactly ns shn

Days, weak*, even a month, had passed over
the bends ofthe cobbler and his wife, since th-
adventure with the merchant*, end yet mulling
had occurred which afforded them the least clue
to their mysterious departure. Crackturk
swore, by Allah and all the prophets, that they
did not past through the outer room, while hi*
wife was as positive they did not go through the
window, for lltey were all fastened on the in,

The cobber was industriously plying hi* awl
when hi« attention wa* attracted by the distent
h-aiiiigofadrmii; an<r in s nioniKiii after, the
sound ol a fil'd band of music, playing a lively
national air, was bmiie lo his ears. Hastily
throwing down his work, he put his heed out of
the window, and saw, nt lire upper end of the
street a long procession, moving in the direction
of his dwelling. Somewhat nuzzled to make
out its meaiiing.Crackliack pulled ofThis turban,
that he might salute the Grand Vizier, whom he
recognised in iho van. They advanced il nvly
until they arrived in front ofhi*door;at that mot
m-.nt, a heavy discharge of artillery was fired
from the'tnrret* of the seraglio, the raiding
triiinpuia sent forth a sonorous flourish, and
the whole body came to s dead halt.
‘1 see it all.’ whispered the cobbler to him
self;‘ihe Grand Vizier hn« stopped on his way
to tho moi-qne, to bespeak funeral shoes, for the
royal household! Won't ( strike for high prices!
lluw -are you, Grand Vizier?’ he added aloud;
‘how d’yon do? Glad in see you/ What was
his astonishment, when, instead of the expected
patronizing nod, ho saw the Vizier respectfully
approach, and as h«stepped futh to meet him,
kneel and press the edge of his old leather apron
to his lips!
•Health and prosperity ever be your lot!' ex-
chimed die Vizier, rising; -tnrty yon live a thou,

First, Caliph uf Bagdad!' And at th*- word, the
air wna rent with the voice ofthe multitude.
Craekback g iz-*d for a moment in silence up
on the Vizier and his attendants, and then, as if
a new light hnd suddenly dawned upon him. rer
plied: ‘Allthis would he dreadful flue, if 1 was
only Caliph; but just stop your fooling, now and
tail me how niany shoes you want, uud when

At this moment, Craekback’* wife appeared

infonned her of the news.

o probability of another decline in the duly for

the ri«n nr fall of dm value of Vrsiri, and this
again on the weather, which govern* ell.
The l.ondoN money market ha* become
enueiderohly more setitlocioiy since the change

already npenkiug of a redirutiunof tha utn of

lion have been very considerabio during the
Inst leu dnys; aud the whole exportation of bar
silver was no more than *£30000 for the recent
week.
In A met icon securities there is at length also
something rather more favorable to report, for I
though Dm quotations are very reduced thero
is a revival of busiitcs et tlioen low rates. Tim

LIVERPOOL. Aug.23.—For about a week
after die departure of tho Liver pool steamer
lit in*t. a largo business wnsdonoiu our Cot*
ton market producing nn improvement of4 n |4
per lb. m prices. This was followed by mix or
eight dull days, in which the rate* declined
about jjd—bill in tho pri-eunt week we huvo
again had extensive demand nt prices about |d
higher mu that our prosent rates may ho con-id
ered ,-)d per lb, above those of the J«t iust. Fair
qtmiilie* mny bo quoted 74 a ?fld per lh.
For this last iinproveinunt wo aro mainly in
debted to tho export demand, ns thu u|ierMtions
of thu consumer-nluno would bo scarcely mu fin
ciont to keep thu murket steady niuce they com
liiiuo for the most purl to buy little buyond thu
supply of present wants, which (though they ure
gradually increasing their working time) is siill
much below tho average consumption of last
yonr. The piea-uro in the money market has
not demineshad. The Bank ofKngluud,on,thu find
instant, advanced its rato of interest to fi per
cent, and had sinco coiiliuusd tu curtail its dis
counts, and tharo seems little reason toexp.-ct
elfeciual rnlicl from thispressure so long as any
fears are entertained of limber foreign supplies
of Grniri being required, which must depend
upon the weather for some weeks to come;
Tho safe* of Cotton for the week ended Oth

ICtli instant, they were 230UC bales, and this
