The following aooount of the sacrifice of a Hindoo woman, on the funeral pile of her husband, is sit . extract of a letter from a young lady in Calcutta, to her friends in this coun try. The writer is a native of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where her parents now reside. CALCUTTA, June 18. I open my letter, my dearest friends, to tell you rhave witnessed one of the most extraor dinary and horrid scenes 'ever performed by human beings, namely : the self-immolation 'of a woman on the fgneral pile of her hus band. The dreadful sacrifice has made an impression on my mind, that years will not efface. I thank my God that I was horn in a Christian land and instructed in the Christian religion. This event is so 'recent, I can hardly com pose myself sufficient to relate it. Last night I could not Close my eyes, no* could I drive this martyred Woman from my recollection. I am almost sick to-day, and I am sure you will pot wonder at it. But this ceremony is so much Celebrated, acid by illy couotryften so much doubted, that''•l was resolved to see if such "deeds could- be." I have seen; and the universe would not induce me to be pre sent on a similar occasion—l cannot realize what I have seen—it seems like a horrible dream. Yesterday morning at seven o'clock, this woman was brought in a palanquin, to the place of . sacrifice. It is on the banks of the Ganges, only two miles from Calcutta. Her husband had been previously brought to the river to expire. His disorder was hydropho bia—(think of the agony this must have occa sioned him.) He had now been dead twenty four hours, and no person could prevail on the" wife to save herself. She had three children, whom she committed to thacare of her mother. A woman, called to be undertaker, was pre paring the pile. It was composed..of bamboo, firewood, oils, rosin and a kind of flax, alts. gether very combustible. It was elevated above the ground, I should say twenty inches, and supported by strong stakes. The dead body was lying on a rude couch; very near, covered with a white cloth. The oldest child, a boy of seven years, who was to light the pile, was standing near the corpse. The woman eat peffeetly unmoved during all the preparation ; apparently at prayer, and count ing a string of beads, which she held in her hand. She was just thirty years old; her hus band twenty-seven years older. The government threw every obstacle in the way of this procedure. They were not strong enough to resort to violent measures to pre vent this abominable custom. Nothing but our religion can abolish it, and I do not, be lieve there is a single particle of Christianity in the breast of a single native in all India. Theee_obstaeles deiayed the ceremony until five o'clock, when the permit from one of the chiefjpiges arrived. Police officers were eta gried lirevent anything like compulsion, Arid 1 0 stta`e the woman, at the last moment, should she desire it. The corpse was now placed on the ground, in an upright posture, and clean linen crossed round the head, and about the waist. Holy water was then thrown over it by the child, and afterward oil by the Brahmins. It was then placed upon the pile, upon the left side. The woman now left the palanquin, and walked into the river sup ported by her brothers, who were agitated, and required more support than herself. She was divested of all her ornaments; her hair hang ing dishevelled about her face, which expressed perfect resignation_ Her forehead and feet *ere stained with a deep red. the bathed in the river, and drank a ittle water, which wag the only nourishment she received after her husband's death. An oath was administered by the attending Brahmins, which is done by putting the hand in holy water, and repeating from the Shaster a few lines. The oath was given seven times. I forgot to say the child received an oath before the corpse was re moved. The brothers also prayed over the body, and sprinkled themeelvee with consecra ted water. She then adjusted her own dress, which consisted of long clothes wrapped round her form, and partly over her , head, but not so as to conceal her face. She had in her band a little box, containing parting gifts, which she presented to her brothers, and tie the Brah mins, with the greatest composure. Red strings were thew fastened round her wrists. Her child now put a little rice in her mouth. which was the last thing she received. She raised her eyes to Heaven several times during the river ceremonies, which occupied ten or twenty minutes. She took no notice of her child, having taken leave of her female friends and children early in the morning. A little cup of consecrated rice was placed by the child at the head of the corpse. She now walked to the pile, and bent with lowly reverence over the feet of her husband, then, unaided, she passed three times around the pile. She no' seemed excited by enthusiasm ; some said of a religious nature, others, of affection for the dead. Ido not pretend to say what motive aotuated her; but she stepped up the pile with apparent delight, unassisted by any one, and threw herself by the side of the body, clasping his neck with her arm. The corpse was in the most horrid 11 utrid state. She put her face close to his; a cord was slightly passed over both ; light fagots and straw, with some com bustible rosin, were then put upon the pile, and a strong bamboo pole confined the whole ; all this was done by her brothers. The child then applied thikfire to the head of the pile which was to consume both parents. The whole was instantly on fire. The multitude shouted, but not a groan was heard from the pile. I bop* and trust this poor victim expired immediately. She undoubtedly did, without one struggle.— Her feet and arms were not confined ; and after the straw and fagots were burnt, we saw them in the same condition she had placed them. TEE LYTTLETON GHOST. The IJyttletou ghost story is not new, bat this version, direct from Mrs. Noses manu script, differs somewhat from that in Hayward : " This story I heard even before the event happened, but so did many people. My first husband, Henry Thrale, was intimate with Lord Westcote, uncle to young Lyttleton. His picture hung i n our lib rary , an d be often dined and slept at Streatham Park. Lord Sandy's hung next him; they were old college friends, both with each other and with the master of the house. To him Lord Westoote came one morn ing, and said his nephew bad somewhat dis ordered his spirits by relating to hith that, as he lay in bed the night before, he observed a small bird rustling in his , curtains, and on en deavoring to drive it off he saw a female figure, white in her appet4ranee, stand at the bed's foot. 'What,' said he, 'is yor bitthiess tier. t • T 9 bid you propero for death, my WM, PRICE TWO CENTS. the reply; ' you will soon be called for. ' How soon I" cried Lyttleton, ' in three years time Three Nara P said she, three days r and vanished. The valet, Mr. Williams, was soon rung for, and he told the tale exactly as his lord had done, which,' said the uncle, is my reason for believing it; the young man, though my dear. brother's son, is such a liar !' To dear Lord Bandys the same story went the same morning. He was mote a thinking being than Lord, Westootitt-, Yonhad better change your mode of life,' iiibds , his - commentary ; if this means anything, it k i s points af your lordship's reforniation, and you: should not tall such stories merely to-laugh at us.' The appointment for Pit Place, however, went on. Captain Aysoough and some demi-rep cousins, Mrs Flood and the two Miss Aniphletts were the party, which was joined by a rake or two more, to all of whom the vision had been talked. of. Well, they, the merry makers, went on to Woodoote, and passed their Vime.gaily till, after supper, Lord LyCtle ton said : ' All this is very charming, but this is the third day of my holidays. I have a speech to make on Wednesday, and wish to look it over, 88 be merry and never mind my absconding. I must read a little to-night, and as for the visionary figure, I have already bilked the bitch.' No, no, my lord,' was the universal cry. Not till twelve o'clock.' He took his leave laughing, and bid his valet get . some nice rolls for the morning breakfast. They were provided, the man said, end Lord Lyttle ton's reply was, • That's a good Williams. But, what are you doing there ?' continued he, 'stirring my peppermint water and sugar with a toothpick ? Get a, spoon, you dog, do, and fetch it directly.' The fellow went, leaving his Lord' seated on.the bed, a table and books be fore him ; wearing his old yellow nightgown that be was accustomed to study in. A violent noise, however, soon reealled the man, who found his master fallen headlong, the whole ap paratus overset, and Lyttleton dying. Ah, Williams ! poor Williams 1' was all he said. The Betwixt% horror stricken, ran to the company, his watch in his hand, and as he passed the 'Feat clock on the stairs it struck twelve "The segued• of this narrative depends on the veracity of Miles Peter Andrews, who thus re lated it at Streetham Park twelve or fifteen years after—l was then wife 'to Piozzi, and my daughter, now Mrs Merrick Hoare, begged him to tell me what passed: "'I had,' said he, 'often made appointment • with .

The first night of my arrival at my friend's house we parted at a little after eleven o'clock ; and as I lay is wide awake, Lord Lyttleton, dressed in his yellow night gown, opened my ourtains, and in a mournful tone cried, "Ah! 't ie all over, Andrews." I jumped up, tiantlare you there, you dog ?" said I, running to the door, the only door, and locking it. When arrived at the stairs' head, and hearing the upper ser vants putting away the things, I stalled the butler, and inquired of him when it was that Lord Lyttlet6n came, and what trick he had been playing to fright me. The man, aston ished, said he was not come. "0,. yes," re plied I, "that he is, assuredly; for I have him safe now in my bed-chamber under look and key." "The housekeeper was next summoned, and we entered the chamber together; but no Lord Lyttleton was there, nor any human crea ture but ourselves.' "'Well, sir,' said I, 'were you quite sober ?' 'As sober as you are now,' answered Miles Peter Andrews. 'And do you yet believe you saw him bodily?"

Prom the Detroit Free Press It seems that in the transit of the circus now performing here from Buffalo to this city, it became neseuary to send the elephants and hippopotamus off a 'Propellor, and they were accordingly shipped on the S. D. Caldwell. On Monday afternoon, as the steamenear ing this port, a scene of great excitement oe-- ourred, which nearly resulted in the escape of the huge behemoth or hippopotamus belong ing to G. C. Quick, Esq., and at present term ing one of the attractions of G. F. Bailey's quadruple circus. The huge beast was shipped from Buffalo on board the steamer, and as it was impossible to get his immense cage on board, that was sent by land, while his Behemothship, accompanied by Ali, the Egyptian, his captor and keeper, proceeded by water to Detroit. During the voyage it WOO noticed that the animal looked longingly toward the water, as though he would have given one of his eye teeth for a plunge into the depths of the lake and ramble about its unexplored bottom. No one sup posed, however, that he would yield to his ambitious tastes, and so no extra watch was set upon him. , As the steamer neared the city, and When about three miles below the fort, a crash and then a splash were .leard from the side of the boat toward the American shore. Every body rusffed to the spot. The place where the hip popotamus had been confined was empty. The beast, no longer able to resist the temptation, had burst his bonds and plunged into the river, resolved on an aquatic etoursion. The owner, who was on board, looked the picture of despair. Forty thousand dollars, to say nothing of a large amount of prospec tive profits, 4ad suddenly vamosed. As for Ali, the - Egntian keeper, he was nearly frantic. In a few moments, however, the monstrous head of the huge beast appeared above the surface of the water. A general shoat arose and Ali was with great difficulty prevented from jumping overboard in pursuieor his com panion and beloved pet, while a boat was low ered, into Which he jumped and rowed towards the beast, who swam about in an eostacy of delight. ' As the Egyptian commenced calling him by familiar names, at the sound of his voice the monster stopped, looked around, and seemed to wait for the boat to near him, bur just se i t appeared within reaching distance, the hippo potamus gave a plunge and once more disap peared, leaving a whirlpool of seething water to mark the spot where he had gone down. Nothing was seen of him now fora long time, and they, were about giving him up for lost, when he suddenly made his appearaace about one hundred yards off, but nearer the shore than before. Ali again rowed towards him, .but again the beast dodged hint, and dived to ihe bottom of the river. Ali;new made a large PUBLISHED Nvuty MORNING, SUNDAYS! EXONPVID, BY 0.

The interest excited by this scene was in tense, which continued to increase until the dog and hippopotamus reached the American shore in safety. Ali was not long after, and the animal was no sooner on terra firma than the Egyptian, armed with a small raw hide, which he had ta ken with him, jumped on the beach, and, going up to the animal spoke a few words in the Egyptian tongue, gave him a few smart cuts over his ponderous rump with the raw hide, and drove him without further difficulty to a place of safety, where he was at once secured, and the proper means adopted to have him brought to this city, where he now is, in Lao condition after his frolic beneath the wares. ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE. The Civil Tribunal of the Seine yesterday gave judgment in an action brought by the heirs of Pierre Lonstanau, formerly general issimo of the armies of the Mahrattas in the East Indite, against the representatives of M. Lepine, jeweller to Napoleon 1., to recover the sum of 600,000 f., the value of a ruby which °sacral xdoustau.w4.o4l. intrusted for sale to M. Levine. The plaintiffs also demanded dama ges to the amount of 200,000 f. In opening the case, the counsel.for the plaintiffs gave a long account. of the adventures of Pierre Loustau- Li b% who woo a eetteo of a village at cue foot of the Pyrenees, which he left when 4hite a young man, in 1777, during the excitement caused by the Amerisan War of Independence, with the intention of seeking his fortune in America. Not being able, however, to find a vessel for that destination, he took his pas sage to the East Indies, on board a ship car rying an envoy from the King of France, charged to conclude, with an East Indian po tentate, an offensive and defensive alliance against the English, and landed at a port in the Mahratta territory, not far from Bombay. The Emperor of the Mahrattas had just been assassinated, and two princes disputed the throne, one of whom was supported by the French and, the other iv the English. Lone taunau immediately determined to join the for mer, and obtained a letter of recommendation from the French envoy. His offered services were declined on account of his youth. He then determined to serve as a volunteer s and in the course of the war he distinguished him self so muck as to be intrusted with the com mand of a detachment, at the head of which he gained an advantage over the English, for which the prince rewarded him with a horse richly caparisoned and a sum of 5,000 rubies. He afterwards obtained a high command, and afterwards greatly contributed to the euooceeful Inoue of an important battle, da ring which he lost his left hand. He had a silver hand made to replace it, and the very first time he appeared at the head of his troops with this new hand, an Indian priest, falling on his knees before him, declared that the will of fate was accomplished, for that an ancient prophecy had declared that the Mahratta Em pire would attain the highest degree of power when its armies should be commanded by a stranger from the far west with an invincible silver hand. From that time Loustattnan was regarded as the first subject in the empire, and became generalissimo. He held that high post for 18 years, during which he amassed immense riches. The love of his native land, however, was still strong within him, and he resolved to re turn home. He accordingly transmitted his fort,. -A. amounting to about 8,000,000 f., to Fronce , Worobibut of Chandernagoe, and soon after toolt - hia, derpeature, receiving, as a farewell gift from the Prince --the very ruby for the recovery of which the present proceedings were instituted. On leaving India, his good fortune abandoned him, for, after narrowly escaping shipwreck, he arrived in France to find that his eight millions, which had been converted into assignats, were then worth only 220.000 f. With this remnant he bought some ironworks near the Spanish fron tier, but his establishment was destroyed, in 1808, by Spanish guerrillas. He then came to Paris to sell his gems, and intrusted the ruby in question to M. Lepine. On his return to the Pyrenees, he was captured by some Spanish partisans and detained for a long time a priso ner in a small .island of the Mediterranean. from which he at last escaped by swimming to a passing vessel, bound for the Levant. He landed in Syria, - and there become insane and was kindly treated by a wealthy merchant.— He soon recovered his senses but when he re lated his history, all who heard it thought him as mad as ever. ite wrote to France, howe'ver, and -was soon joined by his son, and-both of them were introduced to Lady Esther Stan hopo, who, being addicted to astrology, took a liking to them, because she thought Uters was some mysterious connection between her star and Loustaunan's. The young man died two years before Lady Stanhope, and at her death Gen. Loustaunau was received into a French charitable . establishment, where he remained till his decease. His representatives are now in the depth of poverty, and reclaim the de posit made by their ancestor. The counsel for the defendant admitted that the ruby had been intrusted to Lepine, but declared that when estimated by competent judges it was found to be worth only 6,000 f., at which price it had been purchased as a present for the Em press Josephine, and the proceeds had been paid either to Loustaunau himself or hie credi tors. 4ven had it not been so, the plaintiffs' claim could not no maintained, oe it Was barred by the statute of limitations.
