The day was lowering, and no rainbow of

inclination. The coup d'ceil presented oo

our gallant hosts, whose polite attentions
have created an interest in their vessel

the vi wa the lecturer ha. taken of the social
world. The fullowitig is a Irr*,cf abstract from a

ding as it may be required by the interest or cas
price sf u•hcrs, After a hasty sketch of the de -
pressed and suffering condition at the west of day,
of those who are doomed to this lowest grade of
social servitude, the lecturer proceed :d to take do
historical survey of the state arid c,'mdition of the
Greek and Roman slaves, and the arrfs of the
middle ages. He drew a startling. picture of their
sufferings and degradation, and then pointed out
with much eloquence how the growing progress
of Christianity had einanciratkd there enslaved
masses, and described the manner in which the
Church of Rome had aided in this great work of
redemption and aineliorati(m. l!c dwelt at soma

stocle to the advancing tido of social improve
ments, and was the main CALISC of the present e
vils which sa afflict the Eard;wan world,and even
threaten the downfdll of some of the most power
ful nations of the earth.
Following out this view, the lecturer proceed.

the non.obs. rvance of the hol day. giving inure

The Story-Teller," a new English pe.
riodical by Mr. Robert Bell, explains the
circumstances of a correspondenee be
tween Mrs. Southey and Mrs. Sigourney,
the American authoress, who has pnblish.
ed passage respecting the health cf
Southey, which has given great pain to his
wife:—
"Mrs. Sigourney, a perfect stranger,
wrote to Mrs. S'ruthey to request her cot.
respondence. Mrs. Southey, having oth
er objects to engross her thoup,bts, de.
dined the honor, but simply and polite'y an
swered the inquiries as to Mr. Southey's
health. All this, of course, was under the
recognized seal of private correspondence,
which ought to have been considered all
the more sacred from the way in which
Mrs. Sigourney had brought it about.—
Mrs. Southey, to her utter astonishment,
afterwards saw her letter not only printed
in the pablic Journals, but interpolated
with phrases implying intimacy, and ejac
ulationm of pathos; not one of which she
penned."
This story seems rather improbable, and
will no doubt be set right by some of Mrs.
Sigorney's friends.
The New York correspondent of the
AlRdisonian, hbs the following bit of news
from the ring" relative to projected
eqqeslriln movements, doings and so on:
"Mi. Rufus Welch, the equestrian man•
alter, sails from New York in the course
ofa few wee'ts for Leghorn. He will,
with his troupe, coast up the Mediterra
nean, visit Cairo, and crossing the Asth
mus of Suez, dec, nd the Read Sea, visit
,• Western and Eastern India, and push his
way to Chime, and ere the lapse of eight'
teen months, exhibit an American Eques
trian Troupe to his Majesty of the Celes
tial Empire, at the Royal Chon Own Am
phitheatre of Pekin.
This may sound quixotic and extrava—
gant to those who are not acquainted with
Yankee en'erprise, and the scheme may
be deemed absurd and extravagant by
many. Be this as it may, it will be car
ried into execution if life and health be
spared; and my word for it, Mr. Rufus
Welch will not attempt a scheme and a—
bandon it."

I:l 7 '4s4*ireful Phenotniton.—The
zens of ltiobile were thrown into a state of ,
great consternation, a abort time ago, from
the appearance in the western horizon, of
something about the size of a man's fist.
From the time it was first discovered until
its final disappearance behind a cloud, was
the space of three quarters of an hour. It
was apparently thirty degrees above the
horizon. 'Persona who saw it, were divi
ded in the opinion as to whet is was.—
Some defined it to be the butt end of the
comet; some the "Lagusyra Light," and
others something else. It turned out to be

Mai* People Small.—The general use
of ardent spirits in any country or district
reduces the average height of the inhabi
tants. In the department of Fiuisterre,
[Britten) alcohol drinks are much used.
The statute of the inhabitants are gradual
ly growing shorter. The measurement of
persons liable to military service showed
a falling oWof one inch on as average in
20 years. At this rate if temperance does
not plant its standard in that neighborhood,
the inhabitants in course of time will b 9-.
come pigmies: Say the average height is
now five feet six inches. In 120 years it
will be but five feet. In a thousand years
from that date [time continuing, as Miller
says,] their size will be reduced to ten
inches perpendicular; and then, we guess
they will begin to feel insignificant.—
There is no doubt that the use of rum
makes people look small. In London,
they give little poodle dogs gin sling to
stint their growth, and it is probable that
the diminutive size of the two.legged,
mustachied. poodles on Chasing street is
caused by indulgence in a similar kind 'of
drink. Will some• adept in natural his
tory investigate this subjectl—Phil. Mer
cury.
A Noble Trait in the Character of the
Spaniard is thus warmly eulogised by
Burrow io his Bible in Spain:'
To the honor of Spain be it spoken, it
is one of the few- countries in Europe
where poverty is never insulted nor look
ed upon with contempt. Even at an inn,
the pour man is never apurned from the
door, and if not harbored, is at least. dis
missed with fair wen's, and consigned to
the mercit aof God and his mother. This
is RR it should be.
• I laugh at the bigotry
prejudice Of Spain; I abhor the cruel.
ty and ferocity which have cast a stain of
eternal infamy on her history, but I will
say fur the Spaniacds, Int, in their social
intercourse, no people in the wlrld exhib
it a jester feeling of what is due to the dig
pity of human nature, or better under ,

`At this price, in the present state of the
