The Arabian name for this stalwart sen-tiut-1 te the Aleditcrtauean, from which the present name is corrupted, is Jebal al Tarik, mount of T.trik, and with Ceuta. the African point opposite, constitutes what the Phoenicians called the Pillars of Heicules, from their Tyriau deity. The world-wide-reputatiou of this mighty for tress inspired us with some awe (netwith standing we were fiee born Amciicans floating under the stars and sti ipes) as we cast our anchor a i'cxr huudted yards from from its gaping ramparts. Wc had passed in through the sttaits before a fiesh westerly wind, and after satisfying the the scrutiny of a rigid qiiirautiue, found ourselves, iu the midst of a geed deal of shipping, anil surrounded by a clattettng set of bumboats, with all sorts of fruits, vegetables and wares. Ne sooner had out- topsail hallards been slatted than we were beatded by a thiisfy set of peddlers, con cen con tractets, washei woman, and guides all armed with an unlimited number of rec ommendations beat iiii? autographs all tin way fiem Mark Twain te the Piiiice of Wales. Wc weie be.t by such a polite and affable set of cornier.-," as thej call themselves, that we found it difficult te escape fiem their united and untiring zeal, s that we might select for our esuett an old fiiend, Mieh.i! ilenuncs, the vetitablc "Fergusen" of ''Innocents Abroad," and the beau ideal of a ehivulrem Spanish ceurrtcr ds families. He had been iu our employ before se we knew him te be all that was required leliable, in telligent, and communicative. Wc were lucky te be wafted te the. lleck by a wesleily b.eeze, ler during the summer mouths an easterly wind, or Le- v.inter as it is tei mcl, is :tIme-t unendur able, the atmespheic becoming het, sultry and epptcssivc. As it was, the lie.it was quite iutoleiable. Alter along pull in the cutter we landed near the old mole-head and passed thieugh itie gates into the city. A mete pictutesque scene could net well be conceived. Ileie was a town of some 20,000 seu:.-, exclushe of about 0,000 troops, all huddled together iu the smallest possible compass. The houses aie built en abiupt slopes, lie'r ab ve tier, te a height of 230 feet above the se.i. The space is se limited, the entiie town being situated en a shelving ledge of the lock, that gte.it eatc is exhibited te ptevent the iucicasc of new lc-tdciits, .nd foreigners are pciuiitlcd te lcuuin emly a ceit.iiu length of time upon a premise of geed be havior. Every ii'tien.ility can be found re lining I he sfiei ts (or rather the street, in leality tlietc isenly encabuta half-mile ie:iM i:em the Jew.s. links, .uoer liem the Jew.s, eVrabs. and Negreev, in their primitive and etiental costumes, te every class and style of European, both civic and militaty, ami last but twt least, te the plucky :iud ii-teniessible Yankee. Such a metly as scmbljgc could net v.'ell bt found as any ether fpet en tbu glebe. They have col lected line for the puipe-e of trade, of which thine is censidei.tble. Gibiultar is a free peit te the wet id, and, a a conse quence, many at tides can bj procured cheaper than iu ether markets. We wetc forcibly stiuck by this peculiaiity. As an instance, Flerida water, which costs about sixty cents a bettle in the United States wheie it is manufactured, costs enlv thirty-five cents in Gibraltar, alter having heea freighted aciess the eee.in. llev mi. h adh-ciep.iucy atises is for the piopricterb of this inatxelleus peifumcry te answer. Wc wei c also told tiiat Amer ican eigats could be puichascd heie at a lower pi ice Ih.m thesamu quality in New Yetlc city. Piececdiug along the main sticefc we ar rived and icgisteied at the Hetel Iteyal, the best public house in the place. We weie surprised at the aceoiniueiiatioiis, and the iitanneriu which the table was seivtii. t O.u iin.ii'.-uien inihfc have been snmcthaL e.vcitcd ttte: .u long son voyage but il U .ulc te .s.iy lu.tt the cuisine coit ceit taiiicd ceiythii! that the appetite could wish, for, and a tut" telisb iiup.utedbv the inviting acecsseiies and snrieunilings. The question n.it uilly tue.se, " Fiem. wheie comes- all the-'j olieu'j vegetables, eggs, meats, fittits, etei"' The guide took me te the mailed Malls, and fiem the ini'm matieii gleaueir theic, the mystery was easily solved? A mete tempting dis play of p m'.try, fish vegetables, oranges, grapes, pours, lemons, ligs biu.uias, apii ejts, phyns and melons, I had never bciote seen, and vended iu most part by the Mejis, who bring a large supply from Tangier in Africa, while a gieat deal of the fiuiL is brought ever the line fiem the groves and viuey.uds of Siutheiu pain. And in this connection I might state that a geed many fiuiters ply regul.uly be tween this pett and New Yeik, elten oc ec cuj'jing sixty days in tiatispoiUtien. Net until the middle of the last century was a fice market established, contractors having the monopoly of all supplies, and (ifflcet.s weie feihitJdeu te impeit live cut tle or meat, or te kill anything without a special license.

Picsten. of Fowke's lesjitnciit, was tried for having a tuibet for his dinner, the lisiiuimui havingptetestedth.it he v.as bound lust te e.'fer it te the governor. The gist of his defence was " necessity has no law." lie urged that lie had nothing but pease pottage for his diuuer, and tenlicd te the town -major tli.it he would keep the fish accordingly, and that he had an equal light te be set veil at the same time with the governor in the public inaiket. He declaimed against the injustice and cruelty of Mopping all fresh piuvisieus, and sttcn sttcn ueusly denied any spirit of mutiny, though declaring that he would de the same again under a similar necessity. The unfoitu unfeitu nate officer gained ith dinner bat lest his commission, as he w.i"? sentenced te be cashiered. When wc consider that the tuck of Gib raltar is only three lTiilce iu length, and tlnce quaiters of a mile wide, and that nine-tenths of it ateelaber.ite fetti ieatiens we wonder a little that 20 000 people can breathe comfeitably within its walls. Crowded they must be. The citizens aie tilled by a magistry, under a chatter of justice granted te the city iu 1300, and the strictest discipline is enforced. An even ing gua is lited and the gales aie closed te all intiuder?, no ene being allowed en trance or exit without official permission. After tliedieur of twelve, midnight, pedes trians are net pci muted en the stieet, but all peaceful and law-abiling paeens a,c required te hew t:in doers.

The military system of Gibraltar is al most perfect Ne gi cater contrast could be drawn between two soldiery thau that which exists between thu well dressed, finely proportioned, square built and thor oughly drilled Englishmen en one side ei the neutral ground, and tin squalid, illy- formed and indolent Spaniard en the .ether. They enjoy a mutual hatred, and this is net strange of the latter, since the occupation of a part of his territory by the Britons is a never ceasinj eyesore and rankle te him. The " neutral ground " consists of the narrow neck or isthmus which joins the rock te the main land, and is about 1500 ards in lensth and 1300 yards in breadth. On its own edge the Spanish government maintains a wretched little .ganiseu of 300 men, whose chief duty it is te prevent bmuggl'mg across the border, this surrep titious employment being indulged itt te a great extent, and elten at the connivance of the Spanish officials," who graciously divide the spoil. This is the only land ap proach te the promontory, and is doubly eecmed against invasion by a ditch that runs along the base of the rock en the British side, the highway bridge, as I was informed, beiug undermined and charged with powder, se that, at a moment's warn ing, a small army could be shattered te fragments and Gibialter transformed into an inaccessible island. Fer the purpose of ex.uniuing the forti fications our gntde procured ler us a num ber of donkeys and a permit. We as ceuded bv a winding readwuv. and the lir-st object te challenge our curiosity was the old crumbling Moorish castle,a building which is rcgaided.is 0110 of the eldest iu Spain, the Arabic inscription en the south gate tecerding its completion in 723. This tower has withstood the vicissitudes of sixteen sieges, but uew is mutilated and riddled with shot marks. Ancient arrow heads have been leutid buried iu th,e tough cencietc which ierms the walls. A part of this sttongheld is new used for eificets" qu.uteis anil b.urucks. An aitillcrvmuu took its in charge heie and conducted us through the galleries, the most remark able slnicUue for military purposes in the weild. Thcie ate two lauges, upper aud lower, excavated out el the solid lock by convict labor during the great .siege. The rock is pierced by huge portholes, extending into this wonderful cavern, :.nd arc armed by a Hue of smcoth-berc gnus commanding a flanking position 011 the land approaches. Within arc two large ap.utuieuts, or halls, for projectiles and ammunition, named lespectiveiy after St. Geerge and Cernw.tllis. The-se of themselves aie marvels of human energy and --Kill.

The most cdcbiatcd'el these is St. Michael's, 1,100 fevt above the sea level. Our courier il luminated the interior with a torch which he curried for the puipesc and we found eutselvcs in a spacious aud lefty hall 220 feet long ly 70 feet high, Mippeited by Maluctite pillars, the effect of which when lighted up, was beautiful and imposing. lhe actual extent et this cave is unknown, though explmers have penetrated ii suvei.il bundled., of feet, and have d into it iscev- cied great quantities el lessii and liuman remains.

These are the only wild monkeys in Europe, and number about seventeen or eighteen. It has for a long lime been a mooted ques tion hew they were tiansperted.

This is a fabulous and I imaginary theory, tiieugli it is true that the animals elten disappear and are net seen for days at a time.

The fortifications of Gibraltar arc the most formidable iu tfw world. The for tress is literally impregnable, and fiem 1704 the British flag his waved triumph antly ever it. During the great siege of 1770, and which continued neaily four yens, by the allied forces of Fiance aud Spain, numbering nearly 40,000 men, besides a large naval licet, the English heroically and successfully withstood the attack, with a garriseu consisting of only a little ever 5000 men. The first gun fiem the lock was fired by the wife of an officer at the signal of General Elliett 'Britons, strike 7wmcl The furious bombardment of the enemy ca 1 be somewhat imagined when it is stated that during a period of six weeks 50.000 shot aud 20,000 shell weie hurled into the colony, and at ene time, for thrce successive days. 4030 lenud-i were discharged from the laud bat tel ies per day. Notwithstanding this terrific assault the English lest iu killed only 333 men. alter an expenditure, by the combined Ibices, of ever 10,000 bar rels of powder. At present a sea wall, with a system of cuitaius, fiauks, and bastions, extends aieuud the western bas.j of the rock.

At an elevation of 1400 feet is planted the Reck Meitar, the highest piece of aitillery, aud it is said te have been dismounted fre quently by tLe Spanish flic. Guns peep out of the most secluded nooks, among flowers aud plants, aud immense piles of shot aud shell are stewed caicfully awav, secure from the invader's flic. Gibraltar has tiaditienally held the title of a barren rock, aud te all practical agri cultural demands it probably is, but its floral kingdom is rich and varied. Theio arc many species el plants and fetus, many of which have been iutieluccd, and some arc iudigcueus. The Alameda Gardens have a great profusion of flewcis, the ge raniums being the most abundant. Iloie the militaiy band plays twice a week, making it the favorite resort and premen nde of the inhabitants. The people amuse themselves in various ways, for bunting iu Spain being the chief feature of le sea son. During the winter months they have a meeting twice a week. Racquet, lawn tennis, cricket, pole and private tkcuttt cals. aie largely paiticipatcd hi by the officers of the garrison. The parade grounds are used for athletic games. The library contains 40,000 volumes and is the linest English institution of its kind out side of England. In connection with this there is a pavilion with billiard room, reading room, etc. Since the introduction of stream vessels, the value of Gibraltar as a protected coal ing station and depot for war materials, is et undisputed importance. Combined with a naval licet she could held indefinite control of the entrance te the Mediterrancaiiand defy the united powers of Europe.
