iortitantanO. The Great Juggernaut Saturnalia. The Calcutta correspondent of the Lotidon Times, on the Bth of July, gives a long and graphic description of scenes at the Suan Jattra and the Ruth Jattra—the two great festivals of Jug :gernaut, which are so widely celebrated in Hindoostan. Commencing on Sun day, the 19th of June, by the priests bringing forth the god to be bathed, it terminated on the 6th_ ult., when the cars were drawn back by thousands of people, and the god was replaced in his home. The writer attended both these ceremonies, and the details into which he enters will speedily dispel any idea as to the Hindoos having abandoned the horrible practice of throwing them selves under the wheels of the Jugger naut car. Passing over the bathing por tion of the business, which seems to have partaken of the character of a farce, we will come at once to the closing part of the festival, which is said to have been a most sickening and revolting tragedy, and ene which it was impossible to witness. without horror and disgust : The crowd seemed infinitely more dense than it had ever been on the former occasion, and all along the road were booths filled with sweetmeats, hideous masks, trumpery, Birmingham ware images of Juggernaut, Krishna, and other deities of Hindoo mythology. It was a barbarous copy of a country fair. There were whistles and tom-toms, shell-fish, smelling horribly in the sun, • huge jack ' fruit, some damaged pine apples, and here and there a rudely con trived `merry-go-round,' with stout boys enjoying the sport whieli that ma chine is capable of furnishing.' There Vere nautelt girls, hideously chanting their drawling, monotonous strains to the music of an ohd fiddle and a tout-torn. Then there were little acrobats, wlio I I lade `Catharine-wheels' like the buys who run, or used to run, by the side of omnibuses in London streets. • There was also a stereoscope, with views of the last Great Exhibition, on show at one Lice each person. The confusion was indescribable, and when a shower of rain came on, us happily it did once or twice, the throng seemed to get up in a knot and 0, be incapable of disentangling itself, or of doing any thing but roll helplessly from one side of the road to the other. The centres of attraction were Ilse two Juggernaut ears. These arc immense lumbering masses of wdod, about QU feet in bight, carved into all sorts of angles, and de corated on every square inch with figures of the deities. They at•e con structed in four-stories, so to speak, and upon each of these a crowd of _Brahmins and their friends were collected. Large idols were placed at each corn er, and two ropes of great length were attached to the front of the ear. The car moved upon six heavy wheels, and the entire weis:ht or the ponderous fabric must have heen enormous. 1-lour after hour the multitude streamed past the ears, which were at some distance from each other, or they turned aside to a shed, beneath whi,h were pi:teed a number of indecently painted idols, af terward decorated with a little drapery and hoisted on to a car. It was not un til four in the ttpernoon that a big gong was beaten on the topmost division of the first ear, and Nvith a great shout Juggernaut himself, swathed in red cloth was brought to the spot. A rope ryas fastened to him, and with nu exertion he was hoisted troth the stage by the Brahmins—fur by himself the god seemed rather helpless. They dragged hint up and uncovered him, and the crowd sal:tined to hint in th6ir usual fashion. A huge, ugly thing he was, with enormous eyes, painted black ; with a broad white rim around them. Than another god was brought and hoisted up in the same way, lad to a lower division, and so on till all were full. 'rile crowd meanwhile kept throwing garlands and donations to the Brahmins; dirty, common looking men, with nothing whatever to distinguish them from the common man, except the \VII ill' Bralutntnioal thread over their shoulders. When the gods were all in their places, two large wooden horses were brought out, one blue and the other white, each with a thick tail sticking up at an angle of ninety de grees. These gay steeds were fastened to the ear, and a Brahmin stood upon the hack of each, holding by a rope. At this time the scene was extraordi nary. Close by the side of the car was a large native house, broken and crumb ling like most native houses. Through iron bars in front of this house some women were peering, and on the roof there were more women of the zenana, with an old crone keeping watch and guard over them. On the other side of the rotel was a Juggernaut temple, crowded with women. The road itself was quite impassable for the Crowds of people, whose oily bodies and dirty ways did not improves the flavor of the heated atmosphere. Far as the eye could reach this throng extended, and when a thousand gongs were set beating and the Brahmins called upon the peo ple, a thrill of wild excitement ran through this enormous living mass. The ropes were fixed, and multitudes rushed to them, eager for the honor of pulling their deity along. On the ear itself there could scarcely have been less than two hundred men. Perhaps there were 1,000 pulling on the ropes, but they pulled for a long time in vain. The car had been in one place for a whole year, and had made a deep hole for itself' by its great weight. Again and again the Bralunins shouted anti gesticulated, laughing among them selves. At last the mob happened to pull together instead of one alter the other, and the huge mass moved for ward a few yards gemming as if it had been a living creature. It stopped, and for a few minutes the crowd stood in al most perfect silence. Then the Brah mins gave the signal, and this time it crushed out a life with every revolution of its hideous wheels, covered as they were with human flesh and gore. The vest multitude seemed suddenly possessed with a tit of delirium. They fought and struggled with each other to get near the car, which had stopped as if by magic. They stooped down and peered beneath its wheels, and rose with seared faces to tell their friends of the sight. I made my way to the hack of the car, and there saw upon the ground a very old woman, all wrinkled and puckered up, with scarcely a lineament of her face recognizable for blood and dust. Her right foot was hanging by a thread, the wheels had passed over the centre of her nearly naked body, and a faint quiver of anguish ran through her frame as she seemed to struggle to rise. Not one in the crowd offered to move her, or raise her miserable head from the ground, but they stood looking on with vacant stares, while the Brahmins from the car gazed down with as much unconcern as could well be written upon a human countenance. The crowd cried that thbre were more under the car, and when I looked beneath it seemed as if the wheels were choked with dusky bodies. Twonr three chockeydars here made their appearance and compelled the crowd to move back. -Upon getting closer to the wheels I saw that one of them was half over the body of a man and that it had crushed out his bowels, and faitened itself like some insatiable monster. M his blood. Close by him there lay another man crushed to death he was but a heap of mangled flesh. The Brahmins still looked down from the cars upon these poor wretches with perfect unconcern, and were even sig nalizing for the crowd lb pull again;' but the few policemen present made them drag the car back, so that the bodies could be got out from between the wheels. The mob cried out " Apse, apse ;" that they did it of their own ac cord; and, indeed, there was no appear ance of an accident. Their bodies were far under the car, where they could scarcely have got unless they had laid themselves down in front. I saw two other men lying there when the car first stopped, but they got up and walk ed away. The three bodies were placed _together, and the car was dragged on by the people once more. I did not stay to see whether its track was made in fresh blood. Pompeii The discoveries which are made in the uncovering of the ruins of Pompeii increase in interest from year to year. The present system of excavation is more scientific, and the objects which are revealed to the eyes of the modern world are more carefully preserved than formerly. The excavations of Pompeii commenced as long ago as the year 1748, when a Colonel Alcubierre, who had been sent to inspect a new canal or water course, observed that it was con structed through ancient ruins. He obtained permission from Charles 111. to make excavations, Mad in a few days he opened a house in Pompeii. The ruined city was then supposed to be Stahite, and it was not until nearly eight years after the discovery that it was identified as Pompeii. The continuous labors of the Neapolitan government from that time forward, have uncovered an extensive city, with the streets and lower stories of houses, the temples and baths, the furniture and decorations, and in many instances with the skele tons of the ancient inhabitants. Readers are familiar with the details of these strange and interesting discoveries. The more recent excavations have added greatly to the interest of Pompeii, and Mr. Giuseppe Fiorelli has achieved a very important success, surpassing in some respects all that had been done before his appointment to the superin tendence. The Revue.des Deux Mondes lately gave a remarkable sketch of the life and career of this very learned and accomplished Italian. He was a man of great ability, a scholar, a twenty three years of age vice president of the Italian convention of savans of Genoa, the subject of persecution by the Neapolitan Government, imprisoned, Ins manuscripts destroyed, and himself finally reduced to earn his living by laying pavement in the streetsof Naples. Hi was appointed inspector of the Pompeiian excavations after the estab lishment of the Italian kingdom, and he has justified the appointment. By a noire careful system he has succeeded in uncovering the second story and pro jecting balconies of houses, a feature hitherto unknown in Pompeii. This latter portion is built of brick, support ed by timbers, and the evidence thus gained shows that the narrow streets of the city were shaded front the sunshine much as oriental cities now are. Tbk gives us a new idea or a Boman city. Pompeii was heretofore little noire than a ruin. Streets with ruined walls of houses on each side. Now we can see the city as it was. The careful preser vation of fragments, noting positions in which found, and observing minutest particulars, enables Signor Morelli to restore the entire house, instead of leav ing it a dilapidated ruin as heretofore. But the most remarkable discovery of Signor Fiorelli is to be mentioned. In the eruption which destroyed the city the ashes MI in some places with con siderable quantities of water, forming in fact a mud or paste which hardened over many objects. This fact had been noticed in one or two instances, and I he great show article of the museum had been the impression of a female breast in the hardened mould. But Fiorelli has gone farther, and obtained casts of entire body in several instances. Ile has found the moulds where the mud formed around the bodies of the dying Pompeiians, and pouring plaster into the hollow he obtains a fac simile statue of the man or woman, just as he or she yielded to the terrible catastrophe. The eloquence of these statues surpass all description. There were four bodies found in one street. Among them were evidently a mother and daughter. The mother died calmly, lying on her site, perhaps suflbcated. The daughter died not so easily. She was not sixteen years old. Her limbs, restored on the plaster east, are in an attitude of pain, her small fingers clenched in the agony of the death strugle. She had throWn a veil over her thee and bowed her head in her arms, to shield her face from the blast of the fiery storm. The very fash ion of her dress is perfectly shown in the east, and there is a startling peculiarity in the exhibition of the smooth skin and rounded flesh where there are rents in her garments. There can be no criti cism of such statues asthese. They are the reproduction out of the distant past of the very agony of death coming on the Roman mother and her child. There is no failure in the copy. There it is— as the storm of ashes both caused and preserved it—in said mould, the human anguish that the casting now reveals. Looking at it, one hears the very moan of the young girl as she buries her face in her arms, and yields to the terror of that awful night on Pompeii. The other two of the four above men tioned are thus described by a writer in the Edingburg Review : At some distance from this group lay a third woman. She appears to have been about twenty-five years of ag,e,and to have belonged to a better class than the other two. On one of her fingers wore two silver rings, and her garments were of a liner texture. Her linen bead dress, falling over her shoulders like that of a matron in a iloman statue, can still be distinguished. She had fallen on her side, overcome by the heat and gasses: but a terrible struggle seems to have preceded her last agony. One arm is raised in despir ; the hands are clench ed convulsively. Her garments are gathered up on one side, leaving ex posed a limb of beautiful shape. ,;'izo perfect a mould of it has been formed by the soft and yielding mud, that the cast would seem to be taken' from an exquisite work of Greek art. She had fled with her little treasure, which lay scattered around her—two silver cups, a few jewels, and some dozen silver coins. Nor had she, like a good house wife, forgotten her keys, after having probably locked up her stores before seeking to escape. They were found by her side. The fourth cast is that of a man of the people, perhaps a common soldier. He is almost a colossal size. He lies on his back, his arms extended by his sides, and his feet stretched out as if, finding escape impossible, he had lain himself down to meet death like a brave man. His dress consists of a short coat or jer kin and tight-fitting breeches of some coarse stuff, perhaps leather. Heavy sandals with soles studded with nails, are laced tightly round his ankles. On one finger is seen his iron ring. His features arestrongly marked; the mouth open as in death. Some of the teeth still remain, and even part of the mous tache adheres to the plaster. 1161 T? state §ALE OF A LIMESTONE, FAR][.-O\ FRTDAT, OCTOBER 7th, IStll, the under-. gned will sell at public sale, on the above day, in North Middleton tarp., on the Hay's Bridge.
