On each side "the floor was slightly raised and covered with sheep-skins, being: separated from the middle .of the room by s small railing: , ', ! There ?was also a smalspaceat the back- of the ;room./ .devoted to, the. visitors, as well. as the Aides. There wasa gallery running around the room, which was very small, "and in front of a thick lattice-work. " This part is for the Turkish ladies, and the lattice-Work keeps them from , , being seen by the men below. The centre - y _the room is, I believe, considered sacred,or i' , lb and all the priests and other people take -.-' their shoes before entering upon it., Op to site the door is a niche in the wall, and in I are hung several things which I supposed be relics of Mehemet, or ',connected with ' /their religion. On each side of the niche are .:kAwo flags, one green, white and black, and ~-...) , 0ver the niche are several other relics and me mysterious looking scrawls. On the 11 , oor in the niche is a large sheep-skin; then ,t , mes, in the room proper , a row of calf ;Anklets, seven or nine;and then a row of sheep iskins. The floor was clean as 'could be, and yooked as if it were scrubbed often. What a pity it is the Turks will not waste a little water on themselves. I ; The first intimation of the service began --•' by a man going to the door,facing the niche, ~. putting his hands behind his ears, with the -', palms to the front, and singing some unearth ly song. Upon this we all entered the room, and took the best positions for seeing the service. The chief dervish then entered, ai- Yenned to the niche, placed his hand up as I - ;have just stated, knelt on the sheep skin, and towed his head. Then others followed him, •“! ~. going through the same motions. In their i. , 'worship they squat on their knees, and then bow their heads to the ground. This position: they maintain most of the time. They never think of eitting on a stool or chair. During -,, all these motions of the body they repeat something which I supppse they have learnt from the Koran. It taketi some time for them to go through this part of the ceremony. At times they hold their hands in front of them, , as if they were reading something out of them. When they had finished this, they arranged themselves' on their sheep skins around the different sides of the room, all on their knees, and sitting on their heels. The chief dervish utters something, and the all , begin to repeat it slowly, at the • same time working their bodies for ward and, sideways gradually. Their .- repetition , grows faster until it !NI- A' comes quite muddled. Then the head one . .... 1 makes a signal to stop, and goes through the ~- same routine with some other phrase. When they have finished with this, they form in a ring, and the old dervish goes in and dances what I would - call a "break-down," the ;,, 'others singing all the time. When he fin .' ishee he takes his place in the ring, and • another goes through the same performance; -., , and so till all have,had their turn. They then , '• 41 begin to , dan6s around, and utter a deep guttural noise which is very hard on the throat. Theykeep this up till the blood T., . ~drops from their mouths,when theirteligious , -. ceremonies end. The chief dervish dresses in a long drab gown and a green turban 4 with white top; the other dervishes wear a r, long white gown with the same head-dress. When they have finished their prayere and before they form around the room, they go i.„ up to the chief, one by one, bow and make a .§: motion as If they were going to take his ::: • hand and kiss it; it looked as if he drew it away, and they kissed their own instead. andes are re I supposeall poor and it ili c from onp i t he -tivrre7hloeodkinervgisil, tseverity of their ;religious devotions. -On a 11, of day it is awful hard work.

The publisher thought he wanted a place as a porter, or to do other manual labor; to his great surprise, however, he was told that such was not the case. kThe peasant, on the con trarymanted employment as, translator from the English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. Re said his name was Ivan Fronin, and he lived in the district of laroslawl, where he owned a but and a Mail piece of ground. AU the above men tioned languages he had acquired from gram mars and dictionaries. Au examination showed that he was able to translate the most difficult passages in a very pure and fluent style. The publisher engaged blur immediately to translate one of Lew& philosophical work - 6, from tne English.

' , marhut' /diT ITEM& Troxenstew's "Booty or? A.wriSTer," XN Etutors.—An interesting brochure has re cently been published, in .Brussels, reprinted} from a literaryrititi jou of lhateity. - in an elaborate analysis is given of the "Book of the Artists," •by oar dortatryinanT Mr. • 'Henry T. Tuckerman,with highly honorable and appreciative criticism , ' 'The writers re-' marks that "Mr. Tuckerman holds a high place among , the' distinguished authorsof the United States. Hiswork is a complete and , lucid exposition of American Art, admirably fulfilling the promise of its title. The histori-'• cal essay, prefixed to 'the volume, on the birth and 'progress' of Art in -Ai:aeries,' ' has' won the most , favorable opinione of. ,the learned and'artistic world. s ' Ms blOgraphical and critical, notices are models,of' precision, clearness and accuracy. With indefatigable patience he has prepared , a list of the print. , pal artistic works which embellish the publie galleries and the private collections 'in the ' United States,,giving the ,reader a history of - the' chief Productions of the American pain= ters and sculptors. • He ;has, ;performed' his - task with admirable - success. - Ills introduc tion is a gentikie treatise on Art, abounding in the most ingenious views and the most ele vated suggestions. In the pages which he devotes to the early ,American artists,he reads their titles to 'distinction to - the preseat 'gener ation, and atomics them with _ absolute im intrtittlity. The modern painters may con lgratulate themselves on having found a judge no less equitable than competent. Mr.Tack emelt% enterprise Was one ofpeculiar culty, but he has accomplishe dlt with s suc cess equally happy for himsel4 and for the. artiste of his cottutty." —We learn, says the7 ' Vaffon,, from the Michigan University Magazine that the, Museum of. the Universityhasteen enriched " by a bronze copy of Michael A.ngelo's "Moses," made at the Ataicon InduatrkillC in. Paris, and secured by President White, of. Cornell University.'' 'nem is, WO believe, but one other copy of this magnificent statue in the country, , and that in-.plaster, atrthe rooms of. the Historical Society, Worcester, Man. •We presume, though it is not clearly stated, that the bronze is exactly the size of the original, in which case it ought to be made the basis of fresh reproductions ? and of fered in exchange to other • institutions for --veritable-works of art. - Such a practice, once inaugurated, would be an admirable prepara tion for that international exchange of which we spoke some weekeago,and, would furnish other grounds than mere courtesy for admit ting-the United States to the European agree merit. The materials for this domestic inter- change, are not wanting, especially if it 'should include, as It ought to do. statuary having _:.rather_an historical _than au entitle value. The New York Historical Society, the, Bos ton Atbenceum—With, among other things, Michael A.ngelo's "Dawn" and ”Night"—the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts, tile vari- OW3 State c•apitoli - North and Sduth,the Otpl tol .;.at Washington, the several universities, together with not a few private collections, that would - undoubtedly contribute their treasures—all these offer a wide and busy • field for so useful an enterprise. By means of photographs, even paintings could be in-- _chtded,ttad an exchatage of this sort;atsmall expense, would seem to have Uo limit. Could not Michigan ifniveraity, for example, send something to Germany which lonld . briug in return photographs of the remarkable silver ware recently discovered at Efildesheire, sup posed by some_talbe part of the spoils of Va ns, and at all evetate_the most valuable relics of the kind yet recovered of antiquity? The Saturday Review thus notices some late watepeolorgs by John Gilbert ; - Mr. John Gilbert was made for a sketcher; his hand is rapid and Atild, its eye ,ready to seize effects. He hi - perhaps more of a sketcher than of a student—that is, his sketches are extemporized, just thrown off ; while his studies often shew the clever but confirmed mannerist rather than the true student who seeks new ideas, higher deVelop meats, and closer accerio to nature. Yet Mr. Gilbert seldom puts brash to paper without definite purpose. "The Brick field" is a thought blotted broadly and blackly,and then left to speak for itself with strong accent, somewhat after the brogue of Rembrandt, or of certain modern French landscape-paint ers, such as Corot and Conrbet. Mr. Gilbert indeed, though with a marked individuality alt his own, has long been prone to threw himself into the style of other artists. Thus, in a powerful first study, "The Halt," be emulates the shadowed , style of Rem brandt, while in "Three Sketches illustrating Shakspeare's Songs and Sonnets," he is not far behind Rubens for facile flow of line, for vluck and, power of hand,and for warm glow of flesh tints. Again, this versatile artist, in rivalry of Reynolds, or rather perhaps of Gainsborough, has painted a lady, with trees for a haekgroundi the turn of the head and the toss of the hat are charminely piquant and coquettish. Mr. Gilbert is, as usual,pro lific; he exhibits nine works ; he paints, in feet, faster than he thinks—a failing whilh, by its distressing frequency, may some day take modern art altogether out of the range of the intellect. A notice of the Winter Exhibition at the French Gallery, Louden, in the Pall Mall Gazette, gives ns ' welcome (however grudging) news of two painters respectively Dutch and Balgian, Bixschop , a.nd, whose mark at the Exposition was a very high Giving the first place to the stranger, we • notice two pictures by Bouguereau, who en ``joys a great vogue in Paris at the"present moment. In "The Twins" we "ace tivo babies asleep aide by side on:abed, The lightlalls here and there on their .rosy little bodies, 'lra- POssibly delicate and rosy to the, finger-tips. It islaeitber more nor less' than • a revival tof _Boucher's art, and it is not a good Sign of the ''times when Boucher's art becomas poPular again Shebherdess;":- by the- same artist; requires no lather 'criticism than' this, that it is exceedingly, attractive on a super ,,. field view, , but so fulluf falsity and unreality that its place as a work of art is,beloW..that . . at whic h theUecesaity for serious discussion begins. Belgian painter, M. Maris, sends two or. three little genre-pictures full of some „ :what tricky destaity; but still intelligent, graceful, and agreeable, beyond the: averagb. "The Storm” is the beat of these; though the "Young Mother" , will very, likely be the most popular.' A A distinguished Dutch painter, M. *l3ha , chop is representekby 'two , works, one of "At Church," is - powerfullydrawn. The, , color, too, rich brown, black and white, has a certain force; but the flesh is painted • in a orragy, unnatural etyle, with black out `'lines and a 'flat surtacC. ' The subject is a handsome woman of the burgher Class eoatel at church in her Sunday finery. M. Clays bas made himself Master ;of. the maritime scenery, of North Belgium. Wide roaches of 'sluggish water lighted on the dead surfaces by a pale sun, and hardly ,distinguighable from the , equally monotonous' plainkl'which enclose them, form the , staple of hie art, It is genuine if not interesting, and will probe= bly. ,continue to rely , upon , the patriotic . patronage of the Flemish public.
