THE EAST.

The Ganges arrived at Marseilles this

the whole crew, the captain excepted.

The transport Talavera has also gone down in the Sea of Marmora ; the crew

were saved. At Kertch an attack was expected from the Russians.

l Russia.-—Advicas from St. Petersburg state that General Luders will take the

supreme command in the Crimea, and

Tn: Ausrimi. Coivcoiun'r.—It was expected that the convention with Rome would give internal peace to the empire, but there has seldom or never been such a general ferment in the countr as now. In Bohemia the indignation o the Ca- tholic population is so great that the authortites are astounded and at a. loss how to act. A person whose words deserve full credit assures me that if the police were to undertake to arrest all those in- dividuals who in Bohemia openly rail against the concordat they would have to incarcerate half the population of the province. In the Italian provinces the state of public feeling is quite as bad. and the disaffected have now a new grievance. Until now the Hungarian bishops have remained quiet, but you may be sure that they will soon be up and doing.-— Timer Correspondent.

In the priory of Raincssa there tlwt-lt a prior who was very liberal, and who caused these lines to be written over his door:

‘- Be open cverinore, O thou my door.

To none be shut, to honest or to poor.” But after his death, there succeeded him another, whose name was Raynliard, as greedy and covetous as the other was boun- tiful and liberal, who kept the same lines there still, changing nothing therein but one point, which made them run alter this man-

5 O -r

“ Be open overinore, 0 thou my door,

To none, be shut to honest or to poor.“ Afterward being driven from thence for his extreme niggardlincss, it grow into a pro- verb, that for one point Raynhard lost his priory.

A MADMAN.—-A workman at a lunatic assylum in England, left a chisel more than three feet long, on a recent occasion, in one oftbe wards. A furious patient seized it, and threatened to kill with it, any one who approached him. Every one then in the ward immediately departed from it. At longtli the attendant opened the door, and balancing tho key of the ward on his hand, walked slowly toward the dangerous mad- man, looking intently at it.

His attention, said the attendant, was immediately attracted. He came toward me, and asked:

“ What are you doing with that?”

“I am trying to balance this key on in hand,” said I, “and I can do it: but you cannot balance that chisel in that way on the back ofy.our hand.”

“ Yes, I can,” said he, balancing it care- fully, and extending it towards me.

I took it off very quietly, and without making any comment upon it. He seemed a little chagrined at having lost his weapon, but made no atompt to regain it, and in a short time all irritation passed away.

Emu Risirio.—The New York Christi- an Jldoocale has a letter from its London correspondent, under date of December 7th, giving an interresting account of the visit of the King of Sardinia. In speaking of the departure of the King, the writer in-' troduces the, foolliving extract from« the Court Circular of the 6th:--" At half-past 4~o'cloclt this morning, the Queen, the King of Sardinia, Prince Al

at \Vindsor Castle.” The writer tlieu eon- trasts the present iiiodo of family enjoyment with that oftieorge the 1"ourtli. Then the hour of breziltfaz-it olt tiincs ran into the af- t_c.rnooii. “ Noiv, ive liiid the Quecii sitting (lawn to lii'eukfast, with her liusbaiitl and ll'.‘l' _![ll(‘SlS, three liours before daylight, on a wild l.‘cceinber iiioi'itiiig, with the wintry winds liowliiig round the turrets of \Vind- stir, and the Sllti'.T lying llllcli on purl: and terrace.” The writer adinitstiiat this hour is earlier than that at which the royal family usu:ill_v bi'califastctl, and was tixeil to allow of the dcpartiirc of Victor Eiiiaitiiol, the traiti stat-tin_«_: a live o’clocli. Yet the hu- hits of the Queeii and Prince Albert are systeiiiatically so early and regular, that in the spring and siuiinier her Majesty and children are geiicrally seen driving three or four miles from Bucltingliain palace, as early as eight o’t:|ock, having brenkfasted and tiiiited in domestic worship, with the llollsclltiltl, before leaving home.

Si.vciri.Ait AN'l‘lI‘A'I‘lllES.-Tim antipa- thius of the human iiiiud are very e.titi-iior- diii:iry, and their effects are involuntary, irrcsi.<tible, and uncontrolablc. Ont. oftlic almost iunuincrable cases of this affection oftlie nerves on record, we here subjoin a few oftlic inost reinnrltable. Thus, for ex- ample, Uladaslaus,Kiitg of Polaiid, became alinr.-st frantic if apples were put in his sight. Henry Ill. of France could not stay in a room wlierc there was a cat; yet this king was at the suinc time so absurdly fond of dogs, that he would often walk about his palace with It basket of young puppies dangling by it piece of blue ribbon from his neck. Scziligcr could not look at velvet witliout a violent shaking of the uhole lit!(l_\'. lllarslial d’Albeit could not bear the presence of either it wild bear or a sitcliiiig pig. lloyle used to fall into con- Vttlsioiis on hearing uatt-.i- running from it tap. ill. la Motto do Vaycr, though be (‘mild not hear music, was delighted with the rnaroftliunilcr. James I. could not bear the sight of a drnwii sword; and Sir Knowlcs Digby relates that his majesty shook so violently in knigliting him, that he would have run the sword into the eyes oftlie knight elect, had not the Duke of Buckingham guided it across his shoulder.

AN ORIGINAL Srnncu.—At a demonstra- tion in Bantl‘, in honor of the Birthday of the Earl of Fife, the following singular speech (says a contemporary) was deliver- ed by Captain McDonald:—“ It is now the eleventh hour with me, I am now seventy- tivo years of age, and the oldest man in the room. I came here to live and die amongst you. I had sailed for and wide, and labor- ed hard to acquire some means. I have sailed four times round the globe. I have been in all the climate: of the known world -—and I may tell you my youn friends here that, for fifty years, I have runk nothing stronger than tea and coffee, and I always stood the cold better than any man in my crew. I liavd made nine voyages around Cape I-Ior-n—and I always stood the cold better than any of my seamen, so you will ace that it’: only ‘ Dutch courage’ that drink given. I never had the bappines to get a classical education, but] could al- ways conduct myself in company. Perhaps it's not generally known that I was no less than three weeks living at the Mansion- House with the Lord Mayor of London. Whilo there, I once had my la a under the table with the whole of Her ajeaty’a Mi- motors, and once with no lcu pcrsonagcs than Prince Albert and the Queen Dowa- ger-—and once, too, while thcre,I dined with forty-five clergymen; and upon ano- ther occasion with no fewer than sixteen bishops. I feel grateful for the kindness you have shown me, and I must any I no- var wish to atand higher in Band‘ than I do at this moment in your good opinion.”
