I . OOIICLUDED.] The next morning I examined the roof by moans of a pole, and soon found a board which yielded to my pressure. I piled one ottoman upon another, and with ease moved the plank eutirely. On ono side of the adjoining plank I discovered a small piece of blue cashmere, a mere ehre4, it is true, but from it I learned two important things 7a L:was, right in my conjecture that the . this tsar of high rank, for the mate rial Was costly ; aue second, that the man who ever he was, was dressed in a blao robe. So costly was the cashmere, that I at once conclud ed that he would continue to wear the robe, notwithstanding the rent, so I now had to look for a man who wore a torn or mended robe. I drew myself up into the loft, where I found a piece of a palm rope made fast to the rafter above long enough to have materially aided egress, and I availed myself of it to descend again to the apartment. I now went around, the building once more and satisfied myself that the palm tree was the means of attaining the roof. But from its size, it must have been a man of extraordinary frame who could grasp it. Beneath it were foot prints, but whether of the thief or not, it was immaterial to me. laly chain of evidence Was thus far complete. My host met and inquired what progress of my discoveries, and naked him for the key of the box. This he produced and gave into my posession. lie asked if there was anything else I desired. ic All I now want," I replied, " is a full suit of Turkish clothes so that I may pass as one of your relatives from Stambou, and then I can almost insure your success. He furnished me with what I desired : and I was soon arrayed in the rich garb of a mer chant prince. One remark, however, which he made while 1 was disguising my suspicions as to his ultimate intentions towards me—he ear nestly desired me to give up his keeping my revolving pistol. This 1 declined, and only took greater care to keep on my person, as well as the two silver mounted flint lock, (which by the way, oftener far do not go off, than prove avail ing,) that he gave me to complete my diegu;se. Thus attired, and armed with pistols, pass and key, I went to the rude blacksmith of the place. felling sure the thief would employ his assist ance in opening the casket, and asked him if he could make me a key like the ono I at the same time presented to him. "What will you take for this, which I now hold," was the brief reply. "I have been trying to make one of a similar pattern for the last ttvo days, but cannot suc ceed," said the smith, and Abdallah Effendi has promised me eighty piasters if I succeed in opening the box for him " "Who is Abdallah Effendi T 1 insured care- lessly. "list' here, here ho comes'" said the smith. " Let no one know I told you that ho had lost the' key to his box, tor I promised by Allah to keep silence." Giving the man a nod, as ranch as to soy, "Ili keep your secret, and will return directly," I left his shop, taking the key with me. Going into the bazar opposite, I could observe Abdallah Effendi at my leisure, without being myself per• Oeived. There stood the man I wanted ; tall, of a Her culean frame, with little deep black twinkling eyes, dressed in a deep blue cashmere robe, whether torn or not I neither• saw nor cared, ee firmly was I persuaded of his identity with the thief as he stood talking to the ono eyed black smith, Hassan El Kebir, with all the earnest• ness and watchfulness of a man who has to con fide a secret to a second party, and who fears discovery therefrom. lie noon left the shop, and I followed him a little distance to hie house, which he entered. Returning to the palace, I told my host that the culprit resided near the Jews' quarter, in the neighborhood of Abdallah Effendi, or as he was sometimes called, El Shereef, from the fact that he was one who claimed descent from the Prophet. I requested him to send Abdallah on a fool's errand, I cared not where, alleging as ray reason, that I did not want him to see me prying around his neighborhood. The reason was, I dreaded his wrath on discovering that he was over-reached. The next def, - --Abdallah hav ing been sent to Malfaloot—Heaven only knows on what pretext—l went to his house, and had - penetrated to the door of his hareem before I met with any opposition. This was guarded by a single eunuch, to whom I read my pass from the Governor ; and, at the same, to quicken his comprehension, slipped into his hand a twenty piaster piece. A good deal of argument and an other gold piece carried the ,day, and like Don Juan, I entered the hareem—that tabooed spot —by strategy. Knowing from its sacredness that it would be the place of deposit, I had cal culated on finding the casket there, and I was not mistaken. The room was a large one, painted and adorn ed with far more taste than a mere cursory Ho• toadji would dream *of finding there. Three of the wives of Abdallah wore in the room and two of his children. The exclamation and then the repeated cries and screams they made at my in trusion, caused me to fear that the guard would forget the favors past, and returning to hie du. ty, kill me. I succeeded, however, in quieting their fears, by informing them that I was a relative of him and had instructions from him to present per sonally to them an order (here I showed my pass —an old deed would have done as well, for I knew they could neither read or write) for the iron box which he had purchased two days be fore, They whispered together, looked at me, and then at the pretended order, and finally de cided to give me the box. Accordingly they withdrew it from its concealment beneath the ottoman on which they sat, and gave it to mo.— I took it quietly, and appeared in no hurry to leave,.(and to tell the truth I was not, for such ivine' beauty I bad never witnessed before, and fear I:never shall again,) sipped a glass of Shen+ . bet, gave them the order to show their husband, and quietly putting the box under my robe, reaohed Achmet Bey's in safety, and placed my prize, unknown to any one, entirely in my apart ment. Towards evening I packed my European clothes, and then took them to a thicket outside the town, to the south. I then returned, opened the box, selected ray third of the jewels, and then replaced it under the ottoman. The next morning at daybreak I took the horse Achmot had placed at my disposal, and ri ding to the thicket, fastened my bundle to the saddle-bow, and left the horse in charge of a boy, giving him directions to await my return . I then walked home. After our morning meal I told Aohmet that I had every reason to believe that we had been succaseful, and proposed to walk with him. I took care to see that my host had not his pistols with him, as I feared be would regret the loss of so large a portion of his jewels when again within his grasp. We conversed pleasantly until we reached the thick et, where I mounted my horse, talking rapidly MI the while, and threw the boy a piaster. "And now, mine host,'' said I, "Allah be praised ! Let me toll you that I have found your casket. With the saddle key, it is beneath the ottoman in the room from which it was sto len. Guard it better this time." "But your roward ?" inquired Aohmet, evi dently growing anxious. "Have I not thie robe, this horse, and these pistols I" said I. "But were you not to have one-fourth of the . ewels ?" said Achrnot. "You told me one-third at first," I replied, "and fearing that .my, share g might be but an eighth, or perhaps none, if left to your bounty, I have helped myself to a full third. The re• mainder, with your opal ring, are safe at home, and now, Allah bo with you !" So saying, I spurred my fleet Arabian, saw Aehmet feel nervously for his trusty pistols, and then run towards the palace, as if to make sure of the remnant of thek,wels. The only excuse I could ever frame for Abdallah'e theft was the extreme beauty of those for whom he evidently designed the treasure. Far myself, I reached Uardet in safety, and amused him with a recital of my adventure.— Instead of returning by the Nile, we went across the desert by caravan to the lied Sea ; and after a year's further trial, the cost of which was defray ed by certain jewels, over to be remembered, I returned home, bringing some of the finest with me, as specimens of the contents of Tan uttsitzr OF Aoares Bay.

The opponents of the National Democracy are sadly put to it for want of an issue of such a character as will induce their forces to unite. The Democracy as has ever been its custom, are ready to do battle upon the gen eral time-honored principles of the party— principles under the operation of which the country has ever prospered. Indeed the Democracy have monopolised all the elements of Success and stability, leaving to their op ponents literally nothing, except temporary expedients of a local and sectional character Just now the opposition appear to bo employ. ed in casting about for a man without any principles to speak of, and of a sufficient de gree of personal popularity to be unobjection. able in any prominent feature of his life, to any branch of the widely differing political ' elements which oppose the Democratic party.

(For tho Morning Poet.] Pieveuttou of Exploision of Elter.ux Boilers. To tho Boards of Trude of the Cities of Pittsburgh, Looiaciile, St. Louie and Netc Orleans: By the ia•o explosion of the steamboat Pennsyl vania, one hundred human lives have baon saoridood• Is this sad catastrophe to pass away again without an enquiry, without an effort to prevent reourrences iu the future? Is it not time yet to ascertain what can be done and what should be done? Can explosions be p - rovenv,d :t all, and by what meant? No country has so groat an interest in this quos. tion as the United States. No whore on the face of the globe will the power of steam be more extensive:y employed than hero. Kind nature did not piece one of her choicest gifts at our disposal, without the means of applying it properly and rationally. All natural forces aro within the power and control of man. Man Wands at the head of creation and na ture is his school wherein to practice his faoultios and gain experience. What is yet buried in mystery will become plain in course of time. To subdue natural forces and apply them for the practical pur poses of life, is one of the oi•jeots of existence. Fortunately, enough is known of the properties of steam to enable us to avert its dangers in most oases. All that is needed is an earnest effort on the part of tho nation to apply the proper remedy, legislative and mechanical. A law has been in force in France for the last thirty years, compelling owners of steam boilers to insert certain fusible plugs in certain parts of the boiler, which plugs will molt and let the steam es cape whenever its pressure and temperature rises above a certain point. This law is well enforced in Franco, and in order to insure the efficiency of the plugs they are manufactured by the government itself. The consequence is that no explosions are heard of in that country. Mr. Fairbairn, in his last publicative et.stae subject of steam, speaks of this French contrivance as the most reliable and safest, and ono that has stood the test of long experience. The despotic government of Franco insure thole Citizens against explosions. What a sorry contrast between our rough and tumble democracy and that Froach scientific despotism ! Is it really impossible to raise our standard of national virtue and intelli gence high enough to prevent such wholesale human slaughters? These so-hailed accidents cannot very well be charged to the aocoent of a special provie donee; they are in most oases but the legitimate and direct result of a culpable carelessness and gross stupidity I The oausrs of steam boiler explosions aro not fully pnderstood; the nature of steam remains partly shrouded in mystery. We do, however, know posi tively that by far the greater number of explosions are caused by the euddee and instentaneeus forma. tion of high pressure steam, resulting from a sudden rush of water upon overheated metallic surfaces. With few exceptions"the boilers in our western waters are high pressure. They have flues inside, through which the fire passes from one end to the ()Cher. Tho level of the water is kept but a few inches above the uppermost flues. Whenever, from carelessness or de sign, the water is allowed to fall ; the top of these flues will become overheated. An explosion, equal in force to that of gunpowder, is the inevitable re sult of a sudden return or new supply of water on these red hot flues. The safety of the passengers is thus depending on the watchfulness and intelligence of the engineer on duty. But the Frenoh govern ment makes it impossible fur toe engineer or any other person to endanger the lives of the passengers. Suppose our steamboat owners, captains and engi neers were compelled by law, sit the risk of a heavy penalty, to insert two or three leaden rivets, one inch diameter, into the top of each flue; and sup; pose (almost impossible, though!) our Genoral,Gov erumont should see to the faithful execution of this law, could an explosion happen? TI()! Whenever by carelessness the water is allowed to fall too low, i these leaden plugs will speedily melt and let the steam escape into the flues and up the chimneys. Common lead will melt at a temperature of 630°, while it takes 750° to 800° to raise iron to a red hot state. Carefully prepared alloys would bo preferable to lead. This blowing out of Oa boilers, althotigh free from all danger, is attended with serious delay and incouvenienee to all on board. And this will he the immediate penalty suffered for their negligence. The officers will take care not to repeat the oxpeeiment, because the steamboat will be without steam at least one half day, until tho boilers can be cooled down, and men go inside and insert new 'eafety plugs. But of cuurse e tt the law is not enforcede the eaptain and engineer will prefer to insert iron rivets in place of leaden ones! Hence the norieaeity, of a _healthy public opinion to enforce the law. s'gfeambuat racing and carrying low water in-the boilers must ha frowned down. The officers of steamboats are tile more to blame than the public. As the master, so tiro - Bor. vast, is an o'.d adage. Thera is a steamboat law on- the statutes; poor and unsatisfactory us it is, it is not half enforced ! So we go on and repeat our explosions to the eternal shame of the nation ! The commissioners who in former years were op pointed to examine into the causes of explosion, and to report remedies, have done some good. Bat their- labors have had no practical effect. The writer, who is familiar with all they have done, recommends their reappointment. Their labors sheuld be continued until explosions are perfectly understood, and the proper remedies applied. The present steamboat law allows 132 pounds pressure for a3B inch boiler and inch iron. This pressure will exert a tensile fort) upon the iron; in the direction of tho circumference of the boiler, equivalent to IUO-32 pounds per square inch sootion, which is of the ultimate strength of gond boiler cheat. The strain on the iron In the direction of the length cf the bailor is only one.half of that of the circumferential tension ; Ibis is 'the reason why the shells of our western boilers almost invariably burst across the body and seldom lengthways. In this ealeulation no alloWance is made for rivetting and bad iron. But dingle rivetting will only give about one-half the strength of the solidsheot. Add to this a poor quality of sheet and - rivet, and we cannot estimate the strength of most boilers, when now, at more than ono•half the above fignre. That is, with steam of 132 pounds pressure we have scarcely three times the strength to meet it, while six times should be the rule. But it is a notorious fact that in place of 132 pounds steam, seldom lose than 150 pounds, and often as high as 220 poetics aro carried on our western waters. In many cases the safety valve is loaded down, so that it cannot open, and steam is raised as high as the hottest fire from pitch and tur pentine can make it. This is no fancy, but the sober daily experience. Our river men are no fancy men—they go in for high pressure and speed. Nor are they to blame; they risk their lives along with the rest. It is the public body that is to blame ! The above calculations have reference only to new well-made boilers. Now consider the condition of an old patched up boiler, bought second or third hand, five to ten years ago. The effects of a hot coal lire, elaborating the strongest sulphurous gases, foaling from rust and incrustations, these are the destroying agencies at work all the time. How much is left of tho inoh iron after ten years in• cossaut use? Perhaps not and that of about one half the original strength. Tho eobor truth is that steamboat running is a bold game between life and death ail the time ! The real wonder with the reflecting is not the great number of annual explosions wo hoar ef, but the small num . bar! It was remarked that low water is the principal cause or explosions on our western waters. The mem relit of the shell of a boiler, or the collapse of a fine, caused by a gradual increase of pressuro or reduotideof strength, is not an explosion, but gen- orally passes off without any serious consequences. It is true that explosions of the most fearful kind have taken place when there was no scarcity of water, and no very great pressure indicated by the safety valve or pressure-gauge. The best ascertained ex plosion of this kind on record took place in the yard of J.1 3 . - Moiris (t, Co., at Philadelphia, about seven or eight years ago. The facts connected with this explosion are well known to the writer. Several com petent parties have attempted to account for it, but it remains a mystery. Let us have a new commis sion, and let their labors be continued until all the phenomena of explosions are fully understood. In order to give to this paper a practical effect, I have addressed the highly respectable and intelligent bodies of gentlemen, who compose the Boards of Trade of the cities of Pittsburgh, Clnoln nati, Louisville, St. Louis and New Orleans. All these cities are concerned in this question. The in terests of commerce and commercial oontrannications by land and water are closely allied; they come within the spheres of those Boards. My appeal to them I present to them in the 'following shape : Hold a special meeting on the subject in question and draw up urgent requests to your Representatives and Senators in Congress to unite in their efforts, at the next session', for the purpose of creating a new commissinti to examine more fully into the causes of explosions, to revise the existing statutes, and to report the provisions for a new law, which will guar antee more safety than the one now in force. ,JOHN A.
