IZZENIZI
By the arrival at New York, yesterday, of
ateamship Africa from Liverpool, we have
advices to the 26th, three days later.
The Bank of England had reduced its
rate of di , count from 10 to S per cent. The
Bank of Berlin had also reduced its rate to
The Indian mail, with dates from Bom
bay to the 9th of December, had arrived at
Suez, and would be due in London about
the :29th of December. Lucknow had been
relieved. Sir Colin Campbell joined the
force in Ilumbagh, on the 11th of Novem
ber, and on the 19th, after a series of severe
struzgles with the enemy, the garrison of
Lucknow was relieved. On the following
day the sick and wounded, and the women
and children were sent under escort to
Cawnpore. One authority says that the re
lief of Lucknow was achieved with only a
loss of four officers killed and forty
wounded.
The government despatch says that the
army under the commander-in•chiefamount
ed to about 22,000 men, "amply sufficient to
reduce Oude to entire subjection, a task
which will occupy them for some months to
come." Another despatch places Sir Culin
Campbell's force at 12,000 men.
The Malwa field force, under Brigadier
Stuart, had relieved Musserabad, dispersed
the 7Mehadpore rebels, and was clearing
Malwa of insurgents. The flying columns,
under Brigadier Showers and Colonels Cot
ton and Tidderal, were scouring Rohilcund
—complete success attending their opera
tions everywhere. Reinforcements were
pouring into India, and all alarm for the
garrh,ons and outposts had ceased. The
East India Company's dispatch states that
Sir Colin Campbell was slightly wounded,
but nut sufficiently so to interfere with the
performance of his duty.
The Gwalior rebels had advanced to with
in fifteen miles of Cawnpore, but had again
retired to Calpee. (;cn. Windham is stated
to have marched to attack them. Twenty
four inferior members of the royal family,
and an influential rebel chief, had been exe
cuted at Delhi. The Johdpore legion had
been defeated with great slaughter, and the
los, of all their guns, by Col. Gerard's force.
Cl.o G. wad, however, killed.
All was quiet in the Panjaub. The fort
and town of Sangor remained untouched,
bu: large parties of rebels were in the sur
roundin4 district. The Bheel disturbances
in Kanderisch continued, and a rising of
same Beruds, near Moodhole, is reported.
Exchange at Bombay was 2s. f2id. for
credits. Freights had declined. Business
was quiet, and money extremely high.

R.svnov REFLECTIONS.—Your cabman is
the must aspiring of mortals. Whatever
rank he may he on, he is always looking for
a hire.
Hope cannot satisfy, it merely appetises.
The man who "lives in hope," is generally
hungry.
Happy the man who can meet his tailor
wihout flinching, and can even be "at
home" when the tax-collector visits him.
Bashfulness is merely a matter of position.
Ladies who object to be kissed under the
mistletoe show no such reluctanceto be kissed
under the rose.
TUE SWEET USES OF PROSPERITY.—Man

He is reminded or every little favor and
obligation that has ever been conferred upon

He is expected, every now and then, to
take a chair at a public dinner.
He yokes himself to a magnificent car
riage with the most beautiful horses, and
becomes terribly alarmed at the smallest ac
cident occurring to them.
Ile is doomed to hear nothing but flattery,
and should the truth by any accident be
told him, it sounds so harshly in his ears
that he is almost inclined to resent it as an
insult
He has fulsome dedications, and is obliged
to buy innumerable copies of stupid books,
as he knows well enough that the dedication
is written for no other object.
He has his town house and his country
house, his carriage horses and his riding
horses, besides hunting horses for his friends
and his grooms, and favorite dogs, every one
of which is a source of endless anxiety to
him. With his possessions increase his

He has relations without end constantly

He must not question a tradesman's ac

and can well afford to pay fur it.
He is expected, from his exalted position,
to set an example to others; so woe to him

LEAVES FROM A CHRISTMAS TREE, OR
THOVIHITS TIIAT HANG oN PLAYTHINGS.—
Pleasure is but a ball that a child runs after
so long as it keeps rolling, but which he
kicks away from him the moment it stops.
The character that has holes pierced in it
isn't worth a pin, and you can say the same
of a child's drum.
The child takes pleasure in blowing its
trumpet. What is music to itself is discord
to others; and yet it will persevere for hours.
The man becomes often as great a nuisrncc
when he allows his vanity to be incessantly
pushing blue before others to blow his own
trumpet.
We generally make the most of any little
danger. We shrink one moment and laugh
at our fears the neat, like young ladies pull
ing bonbon crackers. Most apprehensions
have a ridiculous or a pleusantiermination.
The end is generally a motto or a sweetmeat.
A good hook is like traveling. The mem
ory Is sure to make some agreeable passage.
The doll that speaks frequently ends
badly. The possesion of its gift is the cause
of its destruction. To find out the secret of
its inspiration it is picked to pieces. It is
the fate of genius all over.
Scandal flies much like a kite, according
the length of the tale it has to carry.
The full mind, like a money bag that is
full, makes no noise; but the empty mind,
like a money bag with only two or three
coins in it, keeps up such an incessant rat
tle that its emptiness soon betrays itself to
all.
A wooden sword has this advantage—that
it doesn't wear out the scabbard. The same
can be said of a body with a wooden soul in
It is pleasant to see a green old age, like
a christmas tree, comfortably boxed in at
home. It is pleasant to see its trunk, bent
beneath the weight of riches, surrounded by
a host of happy children. It is pleasant to
see it stretching out its hospitable arms to
all, as though it were anxious to embrace
the entire party. It is pleasant to see it
blossoming with generous things, and shed
ding It cheerful light on the gay circle it
delights in drawing around it. And it is
pleasant to see it distributing with a lavish
hand the treasures it has accumulated on all
branches, and to notice its head rising
higher every time it parts with a fresh gift:

best shops of Shanghai city open upon the
tea-gardens; some resound with the buzz of
of imprisiened insects and the song of caged
birds, there are "curio" shofs, where are to
be seen antiquities of dynasties long ante
rior to the Christian era, carefully wrought
by living hands; there are caricatures of the
English barbarians, one of which I cannot
refrain from buying; there are carvings in
bamboo, very inferior to Canton; there are
shops for fans, and embroideries and silks,
decidedly inferior to Ningpo. There is also
the studio of a portrait painter, not probably
a dangerous rival of Lamqua, of Macao. '
There is loud talking in that studio. A
Yankee Captain is inspecting a portrait of
himself, which has been painted at a con
tract price of some $2O. The Yankee is a
man about forty, with streaks of gray in his
bushy hair and beard, with a -light defect
in one eye, a large nose, and a pock marked
face. Yet, withal, thanks to his affluence of
hair and an expression of jaunty determin
ation and devil-may-care go-aheadness, he
is a manly looking fellow. He is looking
ruefully, however, at this counterfeit pre
sentment of himself which is to go on to the
girl of his heart at New York. It is a most
laugter moving caricature of all the salient
points of his physiognomy. The Yankee
swears that it is no more like him than '
hickory nuts are like thunder. The artist
has produced a small looking glass, which
he places beside the portrait, and pointing to
the gray hair and squinting eye and the
pockmark of the portrait, and then to the
pre-ent originals from which they were con
ed, says triumphantly at each verification,
"Ilab got? flab got? Hab got? How can
make handsome man s'pose no got hand
-1 sonie face?' Let us leave these parties, for
I there seems likelihood of a hot dispute, and,
arming ourselves with another cheroot as a
defense against had smells, retrace our steps
through the city, and out at the east gate.

Good Things from "Old Knick
The "Editor's Table" of the Knicker
bocker, seems to hare a first claim on all the
good things said and written, for in that re-
ceptacle of fun a large proportion of the
hearty laughs of the country originate.—
We . copy from the January number the fol
lowing.
In the county of Pickaway, during the
last term of "the Court," a suit was being
tried on a contract for the purchase and de
livery of hogs. One of the most able attor
neys inquired of the witness on the stand:
"How many hogs had you ready for delivery
at the time agreed upon?"
The witness replied, in a slow voice: "I
should think about seven hundred and fifty:
but I can't tell to a hog (please understand
that the witness was addressing the "learn
ed counsel") the exact number."
As a pendant to the "thrilling extracts,"
from a rather popular New York cotempo
rary, given on our fourth page, we offer the
annexed from the pages of "Old Knick:"
"Night dawned upon the turbid stream of
the pellucid Clam, whose swiftly flowing
waters slept placidly beneath the pale and
brilliant light of the cloud-hidden moon.—
By its barren marge, where grew luxuriantly
the tall and waving grass peculiar to that
region—a grass of the bluest crimson—stood
pensively in a sitting attitude, a maiden
fair and beautiful as ever poet dreamed or
blind man saw. Leaning against the gigan
tic trunk of a stately mullet:, and at the
same time, gazing fixedly downward at the
waving foliage, which drooped motionless
from over-head, she exclaimed in a tone of
voice so low as to be plainly inaudible:
"Why is it, 0, unpitying Fate! that while
I am standing here, I am not somewhere
else? Why is it that while lam living, I
am not dead? Fortune, unpropitious For
tune, smile upon me with thy sad counte
nance, and bedew me with the crocodil
ean tears that emanate from thy laughing
eye , ,! But, no, 'tis useless! The hour is
come that I am momentarily expecting;
therefore, ye swiftly-flowing waters of the
Clam receive me in the motionless depths of
thy shallow stream."
"With a frantic laugh, lound as that of a
disappointed ja-hinney when he sees, invisi
ble in the dim distance, the feathery flowers
of the nutritious thistle, she sprang far out
into the waters of the Clam, and sank down,
down, farther and farther, until the water
reached the tops of her stockings!
"Oh! must she perish? is there no hand to
save? Ah! what is that wide]) comes bound
ing over the hill with snail-like speed? On,
on, it comes faster and faster. It reaches
the brink and plunges fearlessly into the
stream. It is the gigantic poodle of the no
ble Count Alfonso, who follows close behind.
Ile seizes—the dog, not the Count—in his
teeth, the dress of the dripping maiden, and
supports her above the raging waves, until
his master arrives and draws them both to
the shore. An! then the scene that fllow
ed. The painter's pen, or the poet's brush
I needs must have to faithfully portray it.—
After about seventeen minutes of speech
less silence, the Count exclaimed: '0 my
my dearest Pollyseraphina! it is thee! 0.
►leavens! I thank thee. And thou, my no
ble dog, shalt have a golden collar, plated
with brass and set with Jersey pearls, to
commemorate the service thou host this day
rendered Inc. I swear it by the stars' calm
light.'
"Then spoke the maiden with choked ut
terance, as if she had swallowed a pear too
large for her beautiful throat: 'Alfonso! 0,
Alfonso! why didst thou save me from a
watery grave? Know that life has become
hateful to me, and, were I dead, I scacely
think I would ask for life.'
"'Why speakest thou thus, my dearest
Pollyseraphina? Am I, thy own Alfonso,
not by thy side? In the language of Smith,
the immortal bard:
"Come, twine thy heart around me.
Like a bran-stalk round a pole:"
Let us fly. Dost see that house on yonder
hill? let us thither. 'Tis but a short dis
tance, not more than three-score leagues.— I
Within it dwells that patriot, Jones, the Al
derman of the "Sanguinary Fiftieth," who
for us the Hymeneal knot. Within
my purse I have two of thtt-e fragmentary
parts of a dollar called "dimes," the income
of which. when properly invested, will be
amply sufficient fir our future support.'
•Would, my deare , t Alfonso, that I could
consent to wed with thee. Dust thou not
know that I have sworn a solemn oath to
my guardian, Hugo de Clam, upon an alma
nac's dread leaves, that I will never wed thee
while he lives?'
•• •While ho lives? Hal ha! then « • ere he
dead, as—as—as a "rabbit," wouldst than
marry me?'
"'Ay, ay, ray own Alfonso!' said the
maiden.
" 'Come to my arms, then, Pollyseraphina
—thou art mine! Know then that the cra
ven form:of Hugo de Clam lies weltering
in the brandy and water which flowed from
him, when 1, in self-defence, ran this my
trusty weapon through his body,' and from
beneath his doublet he drew a sangni
nary tooth-pick of the best Damascus quill.
