An ANCIINT Booi(.—The oldest book in the United States, it is said, is a manu- script Bible in the possession of Dr. Wither- spoon of Alabama, written over a thousand years ago! He describes it as follows:—- "The book is strongly bound in boards of the old English oak, and with thongs, by which the leaves are also well bound to- gether. The leaves are entirely made of parchment, of a most superior quality 0 fineness and smoothness, little inferior to the best satin. The pages are all ruled with great accuracy, and written with great uni- formity and beauty, in the old German text hand, and divided off into chapters and verses. he first chapter of every book in the Bible is written with a large capital of inimitable beauty, and splendidly illuminated

balls, and huge tongs for taking them from the fire and conveying them to the muzzles of the gun. On the main deck there is again the same array of guns along each side; four sixty-eights are in the centre, and they are flanked on each side by thirty- two's. On racks over head are the sponges and other utensils, rammers for charging the guns, short pistols, bright -pcleaxes, sharp cutlasses, shells in small square box- es, strapped with iron bars, piles of mus- kets, boarding pikes, and piles of shot in every direction. Descend another stage, and you are in the midst of stores of all kinds. Here is biscuit for six months for more than 500 men, barrels of k and beef and punchcons of run out o number. There are other stores, in which you may literally find everything frcin a needle to an anchor; yarns and twine, and re by miles, spare muskets, spare cutlasses, spare pistols, spare something of everything. Another stage, you are below water level, and amid the levers and cranks, and pistons of the collossal engines; another descent, and you are in the furnace room, where light and ventilation reach you by a shaft, some forty or fifty feet above on deck.

Three wagons laden with near 450 kegs of gunpowder, from Dupont’s Mill, passing t rough the city, blew up with a trememendous explosion, killing all the horses and drivers, causin the loss of several otherlives, blowing down several dwelling houses and stables, and injuring a large number of other buildings. Nearly all the window ass in the city was broken, and in man ouses distant from the scene of the exp osion the plaster was knocked down from the walls and_ ceiling. Some of the effects of the explosion were most astonishing; of the fourteen horses compris' the teams, most of them were blown to ragments; in some cases pieces of heavy it” ‘vork were driven through their bodies. Heads legs. hoofs, &.c., were picked u hundreds of feet from the scene, and ems I fragments of horse fiesh covered the ground in every direction.

The maiden name of this lady, so higlil celebrated in religious and literary circles, was mily Chuhbuck. Her native place was Eaton, in Madison county, New York, She firat became known to the public as a writer for periodicals, and under the assumed name of " Fanny Forrester,” she acquired great reputation as a writer of refined taste. and a style of composi- tion which was much admired as unique and at- tractive, while the morality of her productions bore a striking contrast to many of the epheme- ral works of her contemporaries. Her success as a writer for periodicals induced Miss Chubbuck to appear, under her literarly cognomen of " Fanny Forrester," iithcr o " A erbrocli," and other volumes, in the school of light literature, all inculcating moral lessons, and tending to in- crease her reputation as a female writer of great delicacy and elegance of style In June, 1846, while she was in the height of her literary popu- larity, Miss Chubbnck astonished her many admi rera by an entire change in hsrcareer and pursuits, in annciiucin her resolution to devote herself to a missiouarydife, and of course leaving her native country, with but doubtful pros ts of a future return to her relatives and fries . At that time she became the third wife of the Rev. Adoniram Judson, D. D.. Baptist missionary to Buruish, in Asia, and on the llth of July she embarked with her husband and other missionaries, for India. They arrived at their place of destination in the month of November fo lowing. Soon after the death of her husband, Mrs. Judson returned to

The Russians objected to this slave trade, inasmuch as it afiorded supplies of gun- powder and other important articles to their enemies, the warlike Circassians; and w at the time of the Adrianople treaty, they obtained the Western Caucasus, the estab- lished a line of forts along the a re to prevent the trade. A few years since how, ever Russia withdrew, in effect her robi- bitioa of the slave trade, by declaring that though the Turkish vessels might come to Annapa and bu as many young Circassians as they please , the slaves must all be en- tered as Russian subjects travelling to Tre- bizonde or Constantinople, and provided with Russian passports. By this shrewd policy the slaves have a right to claim the protection of the Ruisian Ambassadors anti Consuls in Turkey, and thus all such Cir- cassians who may be raised to high oliices of state in Turkey will be lod to regard Russia as there natural protector.

How -ro Receive vcua Past-oa.-—When your minister calls to make you a friendly visit, receive him without ceremon . His time is precious, and he cannot we I afford to wait for you to change your dress, per- form your toilet, and put things to rights. He calls to see you, not your clothes. And do not weary him with your apologies. He would much prefer to hear you speak of your mornl concernmcnts. And if you in- vite him to sit at your table, give him pre- cisely sueh food as your family would have if he had not visited you.

Improve your time while he is with you, in conversation upon such subjects as tend to increase your knowledge and your happi- ness. Preachers are men, and they know that people have their affairs to see to; and ifyour minister is a man of common sense, and finds that you put yourselfout on his account, he will not soon come again, lost by so doing he should put you to some in- convenience. Be kind enough to see him

Snir Tiiinrii.—As the demand for ships has increased and the most accessible timber lands have been exhausted, ship-timber has become exceedingly valuable, and an important question arises as to whence future supplies are to be derived, and what effect the growing scarcity of timber will have upon the interests of coni- tnerce. Alrcad slii builders are sometimes greatly embarrassed or lack of suitable timber; and in a few years, except from the distant interior, the supply must entirely fail. Specu- lators and foreign a ents are scattered through the country, in all ircctions, from the British Provinces to the Florida Capes, supplying not only the demand for domestic consumption, but sending olfeuormous quantities of timber to England, France, and other portions of the uro ii continent. The rapid extension of railroads has opened vast sections of timber lands, affording temporary relief, but New York and New Jersc , which were formerl the great timber States, have nearly fiiilcd,an Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland, are now the princi l timber States.

It is to be under the di- rection and surveillance of the Impe Commission, nominated by the doc e of the 534th December, 1858. In eac de- partment a commission nominated by the Prefect, is to take all measures calculated to promote the success of the Exhibition, and to choose the articles to be exhibited; subcommittees may also, if necessary, be appointed. As to foreign governments, “they are to be invited to establish, for the choice, examination, and sending of the productions of their subjects, commissions, of which the formation and composition shall be noticed as soon as ssible to the Imperial Commission, in or or that it may put itself immediately in communication with them.” The Imperial Commission is not to correspond with private individuals, butonly with the departmental and foreign Commissions; and no article is to be admit- ted to the Exhibition, except with the autho- rization of such Commissions.
