® ° Persian Ladie*.
The dress of a Persian female consists of a
pair of immensely wide trousers, like a couple
of .petticoats tacked together, made of silk or
• cotton, and fastening*around the middle bv a
] running string —a very shprt chemise of gauze
reaching only.to the waistjacket reaching
to the hips, having open sleeves, which may he
, battened close if required —a small skiril-eap on
. the head —and sometimes a hankerehief thrown
over the head, and d* >cen ii; g to the shoulders
and back. .V variety of ornaments are worn,
but not in the *]hroi usiyw which Indian women
are partial to; these consists cj’ rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and ear*iiiig~ ot different sorts; and
n-jufllv an aigrette springing from a band encir
cling the bead. Their hair i< arranged it* large
side-locks, and long platted tresses hanging
Anvil behind. They paint their eyelids at the.
efia es with a kind of dbliyrium, made of ore of*
antiimyiv ; and smeu’ the eytbrows*with a kind
of b>ao4c paint.
The .life led b y the Persian ladies is listless
and indolent, and to any woman would
be insipid ft) a th'greft. Their duties consist in
the ol household affairs and
the ativfidanctbfo tl\f fiare of their children;
and their amusements consist jn visiting their
female and receiving their visits

usually very indulgent to bis wilt?; consults and

by her; for, no doubt, the noble arts of hen
jteck coaxing, and worrying, arc fully as
well understood, and as often practised, by ladies
in this*country, a* by their stair sisters in any
quarter of the globe. Out of doors the lady
enjoys most unlimited liberty. Hie may attend

go and visit her* parents and female acquain

• What Wc arc .Qajc of.
Oliver W one mil Holmes tells what we are !
madq of,*iti the following cofiiplimentary style
to human pride : * *
If the reader of*tliis paper lives another year
Ris self eotischms principle wilNiave migrated
from his present tenement to another, the raw
materials fcven 8f vjiich are not yet put togeth
er! .A portion of that body which is to be

O
A General misapprehension.
o Tn Matthew, ii. rea<l that the wiSe men
from the*Last, used this language; “Where is
he that is born King of. the Jews? for we have
seyn his star in the East, and are come to wor
ship him.” The common reader, if unacquain
ted with o geography, would naturally conclude
that the wise men looked East, and saw the star
in that direction. But such a conclusion w@u]d
be erroneous. The true idea would been
conveyed, if the passage had been translated
thus; “We, while in the east country, have
seen his star.” The star was Yv’est of where
the wise men lived, and of course,, they had to
look West to come to Jerusalem and Bethle
hem. to find <he Saviour, whom the star point?
ed out. The wise men were probably from
Persia or Arabia, which lie East of Jerusalem.
I am led to mulfe these remarks by an expres
sion in the last Sunday-School Tinges, in an
article on the Meteor. The expression is this,
“ V bright and beautiful star coming from the (
East, told the wise men that the Lord of glory
i was born.” o ‘
° o o
Sccrci* of the Ortan,
Mr. Green the famous diver, tells singular
stories of his adventures, when making search
0
in the deep waters of. the ocean. lie gives
some sketches of what- he on the Silver
Banks, near Hayti: *
“The banks o 4 ooral on which my divin'gs,
narrated in fhyt previous chapter,"were made,
are about* forty miles in length, from ten to
twenty in breadth. “ *
“Gn the bank of coral is presented to the
diver one of Phe most heautifirt and sublime
scenes the eye ever behyhj,. The water vanes
from ten to one hundred feet hi depth, and so
clear that the diver can see from two to three
hundred feet, when submerged, with little ob
struction to the sight.
„ “The bottom of the t>cean*in many places
* on these banks, is. as suiboth as a*marble Hoyr;
in others it js budded with coral columns, from
ten to one hundred feet in height, and from one
to eighty feet in diameter. The.tops ol’ those
more lofty support a myriad more; giving the
reality to the imaginary abin.h} of some water
nymph. In # other places, the pendants form i
arch after ardh, and aft the divet; stands on the
bottom fit’ the ocean and gazes through these
into the avenue, he feels that”
they fill him with as sacred an*awe as if lie
wefte in sotue'old “cathedral, which had long
been Burieci bSneath “ old oceaiy’s wave.” —
Here and thftre, die coTaJ extends even to the
“surface of the water, as if .those loftier columns’
were towers belonging to t-hosiy stately“tetuples
now in ruins. ®. a • •” :
f *There were countless varieties of diminu
tive trees, shrubs ayd plants* in every"crevice
corals jvhere the had deposited the
least eartlf. They all •of* a faint huv, ow
iugoto pale light they received, although of
every entirely ditiorent frem’plants
familiar with that vegetate upon dry land. 9
One in particular attracted my attention ; it re
sembled a §ea hu* ol immense*size#of vhrieea
ted coWrs and of the moSt brilliant hue.
“ ‘J’die fish fhicfi*fnliabite!j the Silver Banks
I found as different in kind as the scenery was
varietl. They were of jdl forms, colors amp
•izes —from the symmetrical*goby to the glo!*e
like sun fish;.from those of the dullest hue to
’ O
the changeable dolphin ; ffom the spot and of thg
ieoparH to the hues of th# tunbeam; from tlih
harmless minnow to t"lie voracious shark. Some
had heads like squirrels, others like cats and
“Some parted* tbrftugh the like meteors,
whilg others could scarcely*be seen to move.*
“To enumerate and exp!ain a vftirious
kinds of’lish 1 beheld while diving qn those
banks*would, were 1 though ot a naturalist so
to do, require mol* space than my limits will
allow” for L am convinced that most ©f the
kinds of fish which inhabit the tropical seas
can fig found there. The sun fish, Saw fish star
•fish, white shirk, ground “shark, bllie or shovel
noje shark, we ye often seen. There w#ie ;ilso
fish which scsemblcd plants, and remaining as
” fixed in their positien*as a shrub. *The onjy
power they possessiid waft tp o;y?n and shut
when in danger. Some of them resembled the
rosft in full4;k)om and were all hues.
” 4‘ There were the ribbon fish, from foyr t ,
five inches to tlireft feet in length. /Their eyes
’are very large, and protrude like those of jhe
frog.# Anotkci. fi.-di was spotted like “the leo-
pard, from three to ten feet iu kftigtL. Thet
Lmild their houses like the beaver, in which
they spawn, and the male t*r female wutdlies the
egg until it hatches. I sftw many “specimens
of the green turtle, some five feet long, which
I should think would weigh from 4(JO to SUO

p Tlir Pitm and Dead Head*.
Th# Bov. 3lr. Brown low has a newspaper,
discourse on the subject from which we qiuite.
the following • pungent truths : “ liailroad,

The census returns are so far reported that
the New llanlpshire papers put” the population
°oF the State at 322,000, an increase of only
four thousand in ten years. There is* a falling
off in “the rural towns and a gain in the manu

New Hampshire will therefore lose one member

The Fall of Table i£oeU--It> the Liui .tlan Mho
o Hlood on it.
George TV ilkes writes this week from Niaga
ra to his Spirit :
1 sa.d 1 had something to do with the falling
of the lable Hock, that broad shell on the Can
adian side, which, in 1850 jutted over the very*
caldron of the seething waterg, but which tuyi
; bled into it on a certain day in the month of
Jufte of that, by me, well remembered year.—
I About noon, on f at day, I accompanied a ladv
| from.the Clifton House to the Falls Arriving
at Table Kook, we left our carriage, and as we
approached the projecting platform 1 pointed
•out to my companion a vast crack or fissure
which traversed the entire base of the rock, re
marking that it looked wider than it had ever
before appeared U) me. ‘1 he lady almost shud
dered as she looked St it, and shrinking back,
declared*that she did not care about going to the
edge. °
‘fc Ah,” said I, taking her hand, “you mi gilt
las well come on, now .that you are here. 1
hardly think the jock will take a notion to iiiil
j merely because we are on it.” * •
The plat form.jut ted from the, mainland some
50 feet, Ijut jo gitc the visitor still more fear
ful projection over the raging waters, a wooden
, or staging, had•been thrust beyotid the
extreme edge for some ten feet, ‘ibis termi
nated in a.small box lbr visitors *to stand in,
’atid was kenWin.its position and enabled to*bear
weight Pv a ponderous load of stones heaped
, upon* its inner end. The Jay was very* bright
and hoi, and it being almost time at the
: hotels, but, few visitors were out, so we occupi
ed the dizzy perch alyne. We gazed featfully
.out Ufxni the awitll waters, stretch’ed *ouv
heads timidly over the •frightful deqitli below,
and* wp*felt our matures quailed in every fibre
by the deafening roar that seetned to* saturate
’ us,as it were, with aif indefinable chead. *’
4 “ This is a terrible place,” said .I. “Look
unfler There, and see on what a mem shell wg
stand ! !•>? years apd years thg teeth of the
torrent, in that jetting, angry ltreatu.have been
gnawing out tlwit hollow, jmd some day this
plane must fall!” My companion shuddered,
and drew herself together in alarm. Our eyes
swept the roaring circle of the waters once
again; we gazed about in fearful fascination,*
when suddenly turning our looks upon each
other, recognized a corresponding fear. IJo
not like this place V,’ extlaiined I, quickly. — (
“ The whole base of*this rock is dis
integrated and perhapg sits poised*in a success
ion of. or notches, ready toofall out and
toppE down at Sny unusual perturbation.—
That fissure there stems to me to hr more than
usually wide to day ! Fthink v,® had* better’
, leave,*for L df> not fancy such a finish ; a?id be
dsides hiy paper must Joe published next week.”*
With thTise very words—the fatter uttered
half joroscly, thqpgh slot without alarm—l
siezed my hand, rand, in absolute
panic, we fled as fast as our feet could carry us,
toward wluit*might be callcfl sl*>re. We burst
1,0 Q
* ll lo a laugh whew we regained landfland jump
ing into ouf carriage, felt Actually as if we had
made a fortunate escape.,. We rtdle 1 back to
the Clifton, bu*t before we had t ? wo
| minutes on our way, a thundering report, likt?
the ex pinion of an earthquake, hurst uf)fln us,
*and with a long roar, the ground tumbled be
| neath our wheels. . We turned to find that the
table rock had fallen. W® were the last upon
it, and it was, doubtless tl?e unusmd •perturba- 0
tion caused by our flying footsteps that disturb
ed t£!c exactitude of its equilibrium, and thrill
ed it from its final poise. In a niinifte more the
road was filled with hurrying people, and during
following half hour, we we it: told’a hundred
, times'in advance pf the intoning journals, that
a laTly amj gentleman*who were on*Table Rock,
haj gone down the falls. We are told, that the
tiers of a dog would shake old London Bridge
•Rom end to end, when it would iyit he disturb

J Table Rock had probably not been run upon
in the way described for years —perhaps nev

Parliament was prorogued August 28tli, the
Lord Chancellor reading the royal speech, as
follows: •
Mg Lords and Jpcntlcmcn —We are com
manded by her Majesty to release you from
further attendance in Parliament, and at the
same time convey to you her Majesty’s ac
knowledgements forftlie zeal and assiduity with
which you have applied yourselves to the per
formance of your important duties during the
long and laborious session of Parliament now
about to close. Her Majesty commands* us to
inform you thtkt her relations with foreign Pow
ers ar£ friendly and satisfactory, and her Ma
jesty trusts that there is no dangergjf any in
terruption of the general peace ot Europe.—
Events of considerable importance arc, indeed,
taking place in Italy, hut if no foreign Powers
interfere therein, and S’ the Italians are It:ft to
settle theij- own affairs, tl,e tranquility of other
States will remain undisturbed. The proposed
conferences on the subject of the cession of Sa
voy and of Nice to France has not yet been’
held? But her Majesty confidently trusts that
in an renegotiations whichoiay take place, full
and.adequatc arrangements will he made for se
curing, in accordance with the spirit and let
ter of the treatyT>f Vienna in 1815, the neu
trality and independence of the®Swiss Confed
eration. That neutrality and independence
weic an object to which all the powers who
were parties to the treaties of Vienna attached
great importance, and they are no less impor
tant nothan *then> for the general interests of
Europe. Tier Majesty*commands us to assure
you that the atrocities which have been com
mitted upon the Clfristain population in Syria
.have inspired her Majesty with the deepest
grief and indignation. Her Majesty has cheer
fully concurred * w*.ththe Empflror of Austria,
the Emperor of the l'r§nch, the Prince Regent
of Prussia and the Emperor of Ifussia, in en
tering into an engagement with tho*Sultan, by
which temporary military asistance has been
afforded to the Sultan,.for the purpose of re
estahlishing order in that part of his dominions.
We are commanded by h*er Majesty to inform
you that her Majesty greatly regrets that the
pacific overtures which, by her Majesty's dircc
’ her* envoy to China made to the Imperi
al government at Pekin* did not lead to any
satisfactory result, and jt has, therefore, been
~ necessaryihat flic combined naval and milita
ry forces which her Majesty and her ally, the
i’Miperorof the French* had sent to the China
seas should advance towards the northern pro--
vinces of China, for the purpose of supporting
the }ust demands of the alljed powers. Her
Majesty, desirous of giving all possible weight
to her diplomatic action in this matter, has sent
to China, as special ambassadors for tjjiis ser
vice, the Earl of Elgin, who negotiated’ the
treaty of Tien-tsin, the full and faithful cxecu
tlbn of’which is demanded from the Emperor
of China?

ropean forces in Indfa*with her forces engag-°
cd for general service. Ucr Majesty trustl
that the additional freedom which you have
given to commerce will lead to fr§sh develop
ment of productive industry. Her Majesty
has given hc ready assent to several measures
of grgat public usefulness. The acts for regu
fating the relations between landlord®and ten
ant in Ireland will, her Majesty tfusts, remove
some fertile causes of disagreement. The act
for amending the law which regulates .the dis
cipline of her Majesty’s navy lias established
salutary rifles foT the administration of justice
by coforts martial, and for maintaining good or
der in the naval service.
r l he act hearing upon endowed charities will
eive means for a less expensive administration
♦ of the property of charities, and speedy
and ecdhomical settlement of disputes .affecting
such property; while, by another act, relief has
been afforded to Rer° Majesty’s* Ijoinan Catholic
subjects with regard Jo their charitable endow
merits- * Several other acts have Leen passed
for legal reform, which lead to the more
satisfactory administratiqp ‘‘justice. *ller Ma
jesty has observed with deep satisfaction the
spirit of loyally, of ordtw, and of obedience to
tne law which prevails*among her subjects, both
in the I nited Kingdom and in her dominion,
beyond sea: and her Majesty has witnessed with
heart-felt pleasure the warm and affectionate
reception given to his Royal Highness *thc
Brince of \\ ales by her North American sub
jects. sou will, on nSturniifg to }’our several
counties, have duties to perform scarcely less
inifioftant thn those which*have occupied you
during the J'arliament, and her’Ma
jesty* fervently prays that the blessing of Al
mighty God may attend your efforts and guide
them to the attainment of the objects of her
constant solicitude —the welfare and tl>e hap
piness of her people.
At a prayer meeting in New York a*
few nigifts ago a mariner related his e&perience
1 as follows:
“It is only two months since I found Christ.
For two months before that I was very anxious.
But what a relief I had wlieg 1 first saw the
blessed Saviour. He come to-me and said, ‘All
Lyour siris, heave them overboard’ —and over the
side they went. Then he said, ‘Now knock off
your bad habits —drinking rum and going,
round in and after evil company.’ I said, I will
knock off. Then he said, ‘Now lamto be your
Captain ; come along with me on board the ship
Zion —articles open —you sign them —good ship.
good captain —good company —hound on a
good voyage, to a good nort —can have all you
want without money and without price. Will
you come along?’ o 1 will, said I. So I came
j on board, and shipmates, I invite you all to
’ come. lam happy.” # ’
