I DEFERRED” ARTICLES. LETTER FROM THE BISHOP or JERUSALEM. " The following letter, which we extract from the " Jewish Intelligence," will be read with great interest. We are happy to be enabled to add, that in quarters most likely to be well informed as to the truth, the ac- counts published of the dangers and-difficulties which ~beset the bishop in the seat of his diocese are believed to t be wholly destitute of foundation :— I ' BEYROUT, Jan. 17, 1842., ' In the kind pr0vidence‘of God we arrived here in safe- ty on Friday morning last, after 'a very stormy and dan- gerous passage of six days from Malta. I cannot describe our feelings on getting the first sight ofthe land of our lorefathers.’ After leaving Malta, we Were, on account of, strong gales, &c., obliged to stop two or three times, once in the island ofCrete, or Candis, near Carbnsa bity, which formerly was a nest of pirates, destroyed by English men-of-war, of which expedition our Captain (Gordon) was one, ten or twelve years ago. We iii/ere obliged to remain quiet the whole night near this place, which is dangerous for landing by night; but we arrived here early in the . morning, not having been ' able to sleep the whole night on account of the awful tossing ol theship. We went on deck by day-break, and had‘ the first sight of the mountains of Lebanon, 'wliich were covered‘with snow. It is truly an interest- ilig and cheering sight to iis, as you may eainly suppose, and 'quite made us forget all our misery during the past ' night, and the Whole voyage. so are therest of the party. ‘It is a great mercy that we have all learned in whatsoever state we are to be content, and this will sweeten our lives everywhere, and especi- ally in Jerusalem. We bad service in t ti he temporary chapel on Sunday layson conducted a German service in the evening. We had a very good congregation, all our friends, the Con- sul-General, Captain Gordon, and the officers, being present. Our feelings on the occasion can be better imagined than expressed, as you may easily suppose. We also had the Sacrament, and it will be pleasing to the ladies of Reading to know, that the handsome coma- munion service which they presented to the church was made use of for the first time by the Bishop of Jerusalem. ‘ We are under , every possible disadvantage here; scarcely anything fit for use in the way of provisions, 61.6., is to be got here, but everything must come from Elig- land or Malta. The few things which are to be. got here are excessively dear, and servants in particular. UNITED STATES. THE WAR or THE CAPs'.——In Boston, if not elsewhere, the interest awakened for a.time by the Doric War of Rhode Island is now entirely merged and lost in a war about caps. Not night-caps, nor ladies" caps, nor percussion-caps, iior knee-caps, ilor SMALL CAPs.,‘nor soldiers’ caps, nor cups of the climaxes, nor babies’ caps, whether of velvet or fine laco, nor skull—caps, nor any other kind ofcaps except the caps of college students.

Thus we entered through the Jaffa gate, under the firintr _ ofISalutes, &c., into Jerusalem, and were conducted t: . Mr..Nicolayson’s house, where we were most kindly and hospitany received, and all felt OVerwhelmed with gra- titude and adoration, which is most justly due to Him who has hitherto proved himselfbetter to us than all our fears. .. ’ ' I , Though fearfully exhausted on our arrival in the eve- ning, we all’ felt comparatively well after a night’s rest, whiehye all enjoyed in the two rooms of Mr. Nicolay- son. He kindly gave up his own bed to as; and the ,rest of,the party, and six children, two ladies, and tire female servants, ,have beds made up on the floors ofthe sitting room. This is still our” abode, and I,expect will be for Isomedays to come, as few of our things have as yet arrived. Owing to the state of Mrsi Alexander, we were unwilling to remain at Jafl‘a till after our baggage wasIsent off, and so weleft almost everything to follow us. Mr. Nicolayson engaged the best house that was to be got fonts in Jerusalem—the one that was occupied by Mr. Young, but it would be considered in'Eno‘land a miserable hovel. When first I came to see it, itogave me the idea of a dungeon, which seems to me here. of your admirable periodical, may be pleased to learn that they may obtain their latitude by the meridian altitude of Venus, and sometimes by that ofJ upiter, in the day time an advantage which may frequently be of considerable ush in the nai’lgation of a Ship. ‘ ' You Will, 'no doubt, remember, that in the fine clear skies of the Tropics, we are in the habit of using Venus for this purpose.—ButI you may perhaps not be aware that she is very often-available in these northern regions. On the oc- caston of this voyage, from England to the Mediterranean, I have amused my leisure, being a passenger, with observing the I latitude daily, both by Venus in the morning and by .IIllpltel‘ in the evening, the sun being well above thdhorizon in both cases. / It WiIll sometimes happen that these planets cannot be seen vaith the naked eye, and yet be quite. within the range of the inverting telescope of a sextant. In these cases, the ,stmplest method is to compute the. altitude as near as the dead-reckoning allows of; then fix the index of the sextant to this angle, and by means of the back screw bring the the telescope be then directed a little to the eastward of the meridian the planet will be seen dancing along the horizon like a brilliant spot, and its altitude may be obtained with great precision. ‘ While I am writing on this subject, I may call the atten- tion of nautical men to the great advantage of determining the latitude by the meridian altitude of the star during that portion of twilight in which both they and the horizon are to be seen distinct. People too often. wait till it is so dark that the line of the horizon becomes indistinct ' Whereas the true time to take the pole star, or any other st’ar whose time of meridian passage suits, is after the sun has set, or before he rises. ' ‘ -You will remember, too, 1 am sure, how often we profited by the period in question to take sights for time by the stars, and thus not only to get the latitude, but the longitude, by chronometer, nearly at the same time—both in the morning almost universally the appearance ofthe houses outside. -I am happy to say, Mrs. Alexander is quite satisfied, and early, and late in the afternoon. telescope as close to the plane of the sextant as possible.
