THE TAB-LES, TURNED, Oft TII/I BIiTTEIL BIT. Every one bets in India.: betting is the life and soul of society. Ladies' smoke rose-water hookahs, and bet gold mohu'rs; gentlemen puff strong chit= lums, and stoke lacks of rupees; everything .that, comes on the table, everything that passes the win dow, becomes the subject of a wager; the number of almonds served up on rtdesert plate, or the prob able sex of the next pasier-by,l may cause the trans fer of thousands—nay, hundreds of thousands; for in a country where none wear purscii, money be comes 'a more nominal commodity-, only to be spoken of, rarely to be seen ; the consequence , naturally re sults, that it being quite as easy to talk of thousands as hundreds, and far more imposing to do so, lacks of rupees are sported till the unfortunSte sparter t , if not exceedingly knowing, lacks everything, and the rich idler becoMes the tool of the knowing sharper, who makes gambling his profession, and as - stieh, studies it during those hours devoted by the less cle ver, man to amas s ing riches to pay his dtibts. Charles Nlacauley (this was not bona fide his name, but I will call him so) was ono of the former—that is to say, a good fellow, who would bet on certain ties, drug your wine, or play with you for what you liked, whenever he was certain of having the beat James Pro Mon had long been a flat:* While up he country, be bad lost large sums of money with Colonel Macauley, but finding it more convenient, had cqme down to Calcutta to Olt a lucrative post: bad been two years in the capital of Bengal, and was not-quite so raw as ho had been. Charles was una ware of this little fact, or perhaps he.wpuld not have followed him down with the kind intent of fleecing him ; however, these -surmises have 'nothing to do with this sketch. Colonel Charles Macauley bad not arrived two hours in Tank Square ere he hoard that his old friend Gordon virasmaking money fast, that he was to give a very grand dinner party the next day, and that the said dinner was to' be•served on some splen- did new dining tables, imported from Europe by the luxurious.civiliap. This information seemed 'strange- ly to interest Charley. At eleven o'clock next Min ing; the gallant Colonel jumped into his palanquin, and away ho jigged to Chowringee, to see his old friend. .Sahib in Ghurmi hi l' The question replied to n the affirmative, Charley ascended the stairs amid he low salaams of, the linen•wrapped kidmigars who tolled abOut the piazzas and passages. At last the great hall Or banqueting room was gained, end a very fine' room it was. 'Gordon Sahib—make shabe—come directly,' said the confidential seder of the great man. , Bohm richer; responded the visiter •Walky in here.' _ , 'Rather not. wait here till your Master has finished his'toilette—you may go;'. and the Colonel began to hum an air with degree jof _Carelessness peculiar to Well-bred people, very different from the vulgarity of Mrs. TrollOpe's Americabs. , The black servant vanished; so did Charley's; indifference as ho quitted the room, for in the middle of the hall stood the identical tables which had just arrived from England. The Colonel was a man 'who soon made up his mind . ; he gave , one glance around to ensure that ho was unobserved, and in another instant he gulled out a yard measure, and ascertained the exact height of thettables, Wbieh he instantly, set down in his pocket book ; then lolling out of the windows, began to *etch the hackeries, tornjohns, palanquins, end other detestable vehiels, which rapidly flitted through Chowringee. • The Most knowing men are , sometimes mistaken in their calculations. - For once even Macaulay was deCeived. He thought he was unobserved, but he was in error; for as the seder shad brut, said, his master as shaving in the next room , ; his back was towards the door, his eye I ona little looking-glass, which, unfortunately for Charley, reflected it. Now it so happened that the door was slightly' ajar when the measuring took place, so withocit turning round. or widening the aperture further, the owner' of the tables saw the whole operation, and_ made up his mind to turn the tabled on his Inept; but to do this, it required gumption,.as vie shall see by the sequel. 'How' are you, my dear fellow 1-- } rl am delighted to see you!' cried the civilian, as lho grasped the band that bad just been reexamine.

'You ate mistaken, my dear fellow.

'Don't bet, James, don't bet, for I am sure of the 'fact. I tell you I cannot be deceived—my eye is al ways correct.' I 'Not bet ! If it were not that the tables were my own, and, consequently, I should bet on a certainty, I'd lay you a lac of rupees.they are not more than thirty inches in height.'' 'Oh ! if you are willing, I'll make the bet; but re member, gentlemen, I tell you beforehand, I em cer tain of the fact. I say these tables are at least thir ty, one inches from the ground.' 'Done! for a lac of rupees,' cried Gordon. 4l:tone !' re-echoed Charley. . 'Their betting books were brought out, and the wager duly registered. A servant was ordered to bring in a yard measure, when Macauley turned round with an air of triumph— 'You may save yourselves the trouble of measur ing—ha ! ha !' and, he chuckled with delight. .: warned you fairly I bet on a certainty, so you can't be off, James. .1 standar by bet,' said Gordon. 'Well, then, pay me my money. I measured the tables this morning while you were 'shaving, and hero is a memorandum of their height, thirty-one inches exactly !' and Atte Colonel burst into a roaring fit of laughter as he t roduced his pocket book. 'I know you did,id James, 41 saw ,you do so in my looking glass.' ! Le Colonel started. 4So soon as you hgone away, knowing well your intentions, I had an inch. sawed off every kg ; so for once, my.knowing friend, the tables are turned !' Charles Macauley left Calcutta next day £lO,OOO poorer than the day ho arrived ; and, what is still worse, the very youngest ensigns quiz him about the story to this very day. * 4.

" On Friday evening," says the, Journal de la Belgique." a young man of 20 and a female of 17, after passing some time in a publid house at For— est. neariirussels, where they arc supposed to have mixed poison in two glasses of wider which they drank, proceeded to the river Scone and threw. themselves ' in. The young man, however, who , could swim, obeying the instinct of nature, return ed to land, where he stabbed 'himself three times with a dagger, and then threw himself in the river a second tune. Some pettsantv who witnessecithe event drew him out of the water still living, and .conveyed him to the hospital. He was not dead when the account'left. The body, of the female was found on the following day. The young man is a student in medicine, and the female, who nes a pupil of the Conservatory of Music, was the daughter of a builderat Llrussels. Despair in love was the cause of this tragical event." I , AN AVAILICIO6I BIOTILEN. "An elderly woman at Beeline, in the Cote-d'Or, although possessing property known to produce her an income of forty thousand francs, lived in n wretched garret, lying on a flock died, with no t,th-. "ex covering, elm in the coldest nights, than an old worn blanket. As there was a large chest in her room, it was gen&ally believed that she kept a con siderable suns of muney amassed, in it. This ru mor tempted some robbers, who resolved to explore its contents., Having got l into the room during the absence of its wretched tenant, they soon broke open the supposed treasury but, instead of-heaps of gold and silver, they first saw roil out of the recep tacle a human skull, followed by other dry bones. This . unexpeeted display (if the remains of mortality struck the rogues with terror, and they instantly fled with* making any further search. The ex planation of this extraordinary result exposes an instance of avarice perhaps unequal. To the tnag isfrates, who were called in on the discovery of the attempt,'the old lady confessed that she formerly had a daughter, who died at Paris, and was buried in ground, taken only fora limited term of years. When this period, was elapsed she . determined, ra ther than pay the price to secure the remains of her daughter verpetual resting-place, where they were, and which .would hive cest but a trifling BUM, to have them put into a chest, and brought to her own miserable dwellieg, where they had been for many years in quiet, until disturbed by 'the cupidity of thieves wbd had broken tho, sanctuary. The rogues, it appears. have not been discovered : and, for the sake of decency, the magistrates have com— pelled the penurious woman to put herself to the expense of having the bones of her child reinterred in consecrated ground." 1=331 1 , "Among the prisoners , who have been brought to Algiers in the train of the army, there are some of a very remarkable appearance; one of these is pre. eminently beautiful : a negress accompanies her, who appears to be her domestic. This interesting Arabian prisoner, who, shrouded in a black dress, was reclining on her mule On her arrival at La Plate d'Algter, on Monday list, is wounded, by a musket-ball; in the leg. She has excited the most. lively interest among the men and the most roman tic sympathy of the females. Out of the recent events of her We a pretty little romance has been made, which, at the same time, the customs of the Arabs renders perfectly prbbable.,l She was, it is said, the wife of a Marabout; who, on the sth of the Month, our 'soldiers pillaged and put to fire and sword. Her husband Arts mortally wounded, and her father made the most anxious efforts to prevent her from falling into the hands of the French : but it was in vain, fur he also perished in the skirmish. The foster brother of the unhappy lady. however, who had till thelast folight most zealously in, her favor, seeing the impossibility of rescuing her. en. delivered, at least, to ravish'her out of our power, and fired at her almost at the point , of his musket. By a happy chancethe, ball has only slightly injur ed her leg, and this lovely native of the moudtains has become the conquest of the conqueror. She is, I however, as well as her companions, treated with the greatest tenderness,and respect." THE TUILEISHLADIES. Two firmans, have been issued, in which the Tur kish ladies are earnestly besought to abstain from all such indecencies as the exposure of their noses and lips to the wanton: gaze of passengers. They are required to leave only a sufficient - aperture in their veils, to see that they do not defile themselves by coming in contact With any male infidels. But worse—the last issued finnan has this passage : ." IL being a patter of public notoriety, that the infidel traders of Feral, have increased in number, and stored their shops with divers tempting articles, the offspring of Satan's invention` ' whereby the wives and handmaids of the faithful aro excited to acts of most objectionable estmvagaece. ' thereby injuring their domestic felicity, and entailik great pecuniary infitmions upon their husbancis and. lords : it also being obServed, that, not content with hlling their-shops with these ,luring creations of Ehlis;the aforesaid breeders of mischief , place be. hind their counters youths of appearance, hoping strongly to further captivate and intoxicate the senses of true believing women. and thence en dangering their suubsas well as their purses, it is, consequently ordained, in the nano of the Avenger of all Incongruities, that caution ; and discretion be incaleated by husbands and male_ relatives, and that the pernicious practice of frequenting these traps of destruction be put an end to. Let this serve as a . warning, or all parties will eat considerable dirt in this world and in' the next."

There was nothing in the manner or appearance of the youth that indicated the . sex to be different from what it appeared—the mitimer being open and frank and the dross as sailor-like as could br desired by the nicest observer of sea gear. She came on board under these false colors and was known by the euphonious cognomen of Belly Srewtret"—mixed with the rest of the crew, did the'duty that was assigned her, and was cheerful and happy utitil some lynx-eyed old soldier gave vent to hio suspicions that things were not as they _seemed to be.

Fel manely and very properly ordered her a dress char acteristic of her sex, and gave her quarters among the steerage passengers, in which situation she per formed the rest of the passage. Her real name is .Isabella Stewart, and we are informed by the Cap tain that she is, or rather tuascfor be has now taken her to his ewn house, d destittido.gitl, though, to all appearance, virtuous. She is quite intelligent and good looking, and bad taken this method to tet a passage to America, where, she had been informed, she would be sure to find friends and relief. The announcement of the fact attracted and kept up quite a crowd around the Algonquin for some hours. Nothing is known of her parents except what she herself states, which is, that they were unable to do any thing for her." We find the folpwing additional particulars in the Inquirer,. • e Sho resided about ten miles from Glasgow, Scotland, and according to her own account, was treated so harshly by a step-father, that she deter mined at any and every tisk to leave the country. She 'started from home with but little money and few clothes. The latter she sold and obtained a boy's suit. She was in Liverpool several days looking out for a vessel, and during the whole time readily succeeded in deceiving those with whom ebb came in contact, cis to her true • character. She got on board the Algonquin without the knowledge of her officers, and did not make her appearance un til the vessel was fully under way. She then pre sented herself, and said she bad been a drummer in a Scotish regiment, and was treated with such sever ity that she determined to make her escape. For the first few days she mingled freely with the sailors— and once or twice slept in a berth with one—and without the slightest suspicion on his part, as to tke sex of his companion. Indeed, she is described as .decorous in her manner, modest in her deporimen e t, and exceedingly anxious to avoid any thing imp). - per, either in language or in action. At home, she was employed at a shilling per week: Several per sons who have conversed with her, state that - the im- pression made by her answers and deportment was quite favorable. She is not handsome, bat has a healthy appearance, with a frank, good humored face. No love story is c•innected with bee adven ture. She has already obtained emplayment in a respectable family in this city, and app ears deligh ted with her situation. On shipboard she went'aloft several times, and was nimble, active and fearless. She had no clothes whatever but the dress she wore. Captain Turley's conduct to her, while on board, was humane and praiseworthy throughout. THE CONTRADICTORY COUPLIC.-..

Telegraph. THE MEETING.—We have stated already that six females rescued from the "William frown," had arrived at Germantown, their place of destination. in the neighborhood. We arc told Wit one of the company was not of the family that had come to make their home in Germantown. She was a. young woman whose mother fourteen - years befouls had come from Scotland to this country, and tho daughter thought she had only to come to America. to find her parent. Their common sufferings had attached her to the other five Mendes, and they took up thci: abode in Germantown, the young woman ascertaining very soon that she was not likely to find her mother quite as readily as she had supposed. She accordingly looked oboist for work to earn a. living. Shortly after her arrival, she was visited, among many others by as elderly lady from Nana yunk, who came to inquire after the rescued' suffct era generally apt, 'to hear more particulars of those who were last trill+ the ship and from the boat.— Having heard the oft repeated story, - the old lady ventured to make one particular inquiry:. Win Mary on board the Wallitn Brown?" Yes, she was." The nett question dropt tremulciusly trout her- " Was she saved !" " Ycs, 1 am she." "My child !" exclaimed the mother. And so the old lady supplied her daughter with, a home, which she was about to earn among stritn. yrs.—U. S. Gar.
