._HASZAR.D'S GAZETTE. SEPTEMBER. 5. remarks on the appearance of the Devils of the West, their utter astonishment at sight of their tight-fitting garments, their wonder- ful trousers, and prodigious round hats like chimney pots—the shirt-colours adapted to cut oil‘ the ears, and making aframe around such grotesque faces, with long noses and blue eyes,‘ no beard or moustache, but a handful of curly hair on each check. The shape of the dress-coat puzzles them above everything. They try in vain to account for it, calling it a half garment, because it is impossible to make it meet over their breast, and because there is nothing in front to corres ond with the tail behind. They admire t e judgment and exquisite taste of putting buttons behijid the back where they never have anything to button. How much handsomer they think them- selves with their narrow oblique, black eyes, high cheek bones, and little round noses, their shaven crowns and ma nilicent pigtails hanging almost to their hee s. Add to all these natural graces a conical hat covered with red fringe, and ample tunic, with large sleeves, and black satin boots with a white sole of immense thickness; OUR TAR! IN Till BALTIC. I The following extract from the letter of an ollicer on board one of her Msjesty’o ships in the Baltic presents an amusing picttlre of the recre- atious resorted to by the crews of an evening, and speaks volumes as to the ebeertulnsss and activity which pervade the tleet:- “ We are still lying with Admiral Baynes's squadron blocltading Cronstadt. So we have rather an easy time of it, aeldciu or never havin our anchor up. The sailors exercise a good dsa with the sails ever morning. Everything that the sdmiral’s ship oca, all the rest must do, you may imagine the haste they make to ben and untiend, furl sails, &c. No sooner is the signal given, than the men rush up the rigging like monkeys, the first lieutenant or captain on the bridge giving his orders, each ship in the squadron trying as fast as possible to do it, for of course each ship tries to get through the evolu- tions quickest, and happy is the captain who has finished first in the fleet. At night, sometimes, they skylark, that is, the ship’s company get up the battle of Bala Clara and other such scenes, some of them dressing up in the most outlandish costumes as Russian or English ollicers, and mounted on some of their comrades’ shoulders, and amid the prancing of the horses and the dealing of blows (not very light ones, all being armed with sticks) form most amusing groups, that must be seen to be believed. See Lord Raglan in a flannel tail coat, with pieces of red (bunting) sown on for buttons, and a gold-laced i:.'c' cannot compare in agent-ance with a Chi- cocked hat. his breast covered with a profusion of 11080-—Th¢ Clllilfle mp"?- tin medals, mounted, sword in hand, on another fellow’s shoulder, while about fifty others are CANADA. dressed and equipped in a somewhat similar manner; the rest, amounting to about one hun- dred, being infantry, are contented with their tnoustaches. Alterthe battle, a dag of truce is brought out to pick up the dead, which operation is, perhaps, the most amusing part of it.” It must be cause of exultation to every Canadian, indeed to every one in any way connected with Canada, to see the Country making so great a display and taking so creditable a position at the Great Exhibi- Duru 0,, Gamma Bun“, K_ C_B'_ .tion at Paris.

Hamlin himself has probably had more actual practical experience in the business, than any other man, having been constantly engaged in it from the time they werefirst introduced;—for more than six years he has had the entire super- inlcndcncc qfllie tuning and 1lt€€lltlnl€tll departments ofthc most extensive Jllcladcon manufiictory in the U nitcd States. They have engaged the very best of mechanics in the different departments of innnii- facture; those who have had long experience, many of them having worked at similar instrunionisi from the time of ilieir invention. From Voiccr: and Tuners are acknowledged to be the most expert in the country. The i'oici'ng and tuning of the hlelodeon is the iiiosit difficult part in its iniiiiufncture. On this depends mziinly, the qiiulily and quantity of tune, and the ilurulxilty of the reed. They innke it their first great cardinal principle. that every instru- ment he as perfect in all rcspects as possilzls, and each one, before leaving the inainufeiciory , undergoes a close cxniiiiiiation front both of the partners ; and none are allowed to go forlli, in ivliicli the slightest defect, either in the case, or in the interior of the |nguument, can be detected. By udlicriiig strictly to this principle, they trust to secure the confidence and aitronagc of the public. [CL Every instrument is carefully packed in a neat and strong box, am] fully wurraulcil.
