Towards evening, Currie, Sada, Shchedan, "Elks, Mr. Williams aitd I, rode out to the M Bee awee,.or,the Mosques of the Sacred Fish. ~ K , it was just before sunset. the air was fide. and the °dot' of. the fields lof . wheat along the roadside Wai . ll6 the sweatair of -a harvest field at home. - The wheat here will_be:reatly to - Ca in About a fortnight; I saw the wheat' and- tares. growing together: When' we reached the mosque, which is ab . oUt two miles front Tripoli on the road to Mlls, we, dismounted and sat-down by the stone walled poor to watch- the fish. When - we s threw -in crumbs 'of-bread, huds of the fishes mime leaping and pillaging throughthe wa r ter until thei6ter was black wish them.— Several old Moslems, White-turbaned and. w.hite-bearded, sat near the water; evidently longing, for sunset, when...t.they might the their-thirst; and I asked therii - about the &II and the " birket” or pooOn which they live. He said that " the pool it 4 more thah seven hundred p.ms old, andthe fish are sacred.

On - our return, Mr. Williamsi said that if he had not seen one vrew above Damns. cus, -he should declare the scenery about Tri pOli to be the finest he had seen in -all the East: Mr. WI is inttncling to take the Aus triansteamer in the morning for .

FRIDAY, May 14.--The Austrian steamer was at anchor in the harbor when we 'went on the terrace this morning before bfeakfast; just about one hour later it was nearly out Of sight, sothat Mr. Williams is obliged to . remain over until the,_ Sabbath, -when the 'French steamer comes from Beirut.'.: To;:day is the first day of the Moslem.- feast,: as the Fast of Ranladan terminated, yesterday. I weal in company with yanni and Mr.: Will ti) call on the:Gov'ernor and the -Com mending ogcer of the Turkish military .sta tioned here.

Ile is one of the ablest and most proiffising yonng men in Tripoli, and few can staid before him in an argument.— This afternoon he left us, ntiout five o'clock, and when 'e Caine out from the dining room to the sitting. room after, tea, we found liiin quite stirred up with :eagerness to tell us about the scenes through 'wine)) he had just pas:ed. hi seenis that u-Frenchman has re cently Cori , here for the - purrs-4 of teaching the people how to gamble.

Elias' turned to the chief gainbler, who seemed to be a kind 14' interpreter for.the Frenchman, Hand insistO that he give up the abominable business: I The man replied that he could de fend his btisiness, and et once handed Elias a '-small stool, telling him .to sit 'down in front of himselfiand discuss the mafter before the croW 'rd.

C., and then rcturned it to the 'of fice, though',l expected to be required` to pay the postage.. To-day ,the steamer , agent called; and I paid it. • Now I regaritsuch- fa vors as an- imposition, and a very unkind one, too. Who Mr. Andrews ity I- know not, as his name is not in the Tribune Alinanse's list 'of the members of Congress; but if there is such a man and he actually wishes to do me a favor in that way, lot him -pay - the postage or send: it-to Boston to come by box, 'as even Mr. Seward's speeches art hardly _worth a &Mar apiece at this distances . • To-day, a man of the Minna& sect who often calls upon us.s brought a sheep to Mni Lyons as-a present.. It..seemed like a verY generous act, and he may have dime it - out of pure good .feeling, . but 'it seemed like something, else when he eame• - in toWards evening aild asked - Mr.. Lyons to perforni the marriage ceremony for him, as he wished to marry his cousin, Whoni the rules of his own sect would - hot permit him to *tarry : •H 6 disclaimed all intentions orbribery, and Mr. L. tried to compel him to take back the sheep, but he insisted that Mr. L. should }.keep it. To-tlaY was the- appointed time for making the bargain with the Moslems for the, room we wish to,bay for•a church. We wish to buy and not to rent, as we should no:erica secure iu a building which we might relit, as it i the law m this country that any contract for rent is at,ence invalidated by the sale of the property, the owner simply being requir ed to refund,all money paid as advance rent. If, for instance, the owner of opr house should have a good chance to sell it, he could compel us to leave by pa) ing us --- the rent which, We have paid for the time between the I present date and the expiption or the. eon- tract. li would 'not bePT - ea.:ant to have i ' church subjeetto such ',4 . .6intiligeney. The owner of I heproperty We wish to buy, came i a little before lasni. -Several master masons have reported to us about the prfirtrty-,' and 1 I they agree that it is not worth 'more than ten thousand piasters(or four hundred dollars.} t The walls are not what wo would wish, &c., bait will. probably stand 54' long as we shall -need it, It is 39 by ` . 2.9 feet within, and quite higlil the walls and ceiling being of stone, built with groined arches., There. are two rooms above, which we cannot buy ; but , as they are occupied by - 'Moslems, we can probably get them at almost any ,price after' we get our bell up. There is a singular tea tore in Moslem law, ,Which gives us some 1 trouble. No Moslem can sell his property by a clear, out and out sale, but there 'must - alwitSs be some why for his family to have a claim upon it. - The law is in many instances a nullity, bait is liviuk - enougfr to give us trouble. Our, friend Shellatiy, the Moslem who owns the house, says that - he wants •to it It will never be worth any more 'to him or his family, whereas if he can - sell it and invest the money, it will be far better for his family. -He offers' to give.us a deed which he warrants to be valid; and if any dif-' ficulty is ever made with it, he will agree to repay us our purchase money 'and all we may choose to expend in repairs. When he came in we asked him his price. - He said ten thousand piasters._ In eccurdance with the Arab custom, we offered - NM:five:thousand. He caree down to r eight - fliousand.' . We ad vanced to six thousand. He came 'down to seven thousand five hundred; and we of. fered Six thousand five hundred-land at length after long talk iniz we agreed . tipon sev en thousand, on conditiou' that we pay ten piaster 4, or forty cents: a year as the tax . which he has to pay to the lifosque for the proper ty yearly in tbonarne of the family:* Shellaby says that the CRY Judge Will notsign the deed for the sale of the property, but Yanni says, no matter.. If he did sign it he would be likely to deny his own seal tomorrow, • and require, ns to bring two ! witnesses., to prove that he signed - it. .We.cart get the eignature- Orseveral of the Consular authorities, in the' city, and when we have once taken possession, and expended what we_ wish. in. repairs; and , fitting up. all theauthorities irtTripoli cannot wrest it,froM•us. ... • .
