Presentation. On Watchman Fire Company tKHKf their engine house, to the number of sixtvmerXIL appreciation of his services as a ir.ti ter, magnificent copies of the Holy Scriptures and Methodist Episcopal Hymn Book Alter a sermon by Rev. William Hamilton, presiding elder of the district, John W. Davis, arose and with suitableremarks made the presentation which were responded to in a feeling manner by the recipient. It appears that Mr.

Brooke has manifested on siderable regard for the Company, ana preached several times to the members at their own request. An Exhumation We are told that a day or two since some boys, who were threading their proved to be laser beer. Thev first drank, became fuddled and then "how came ye so." It was subsequently ascertained that there naa Deen aepositea, aooot two years since, in one of these subterranean passages, a large quantity of beer in kegs. Suddenly an avalanche of earth came covered the entire deposit. The owner gave it up as a lost operation, and with some slight effort abandoned it.

It is now brought to light, and it said is nothing; the worse for its long imprisoment. Lively Streets. The opening of the harbor on Saturday has resulted in imparting to the city a lively, business aspect, giving employment to large numbers of persons, who, since the advent of an almost unparalleled winter, have been out of employment, and setting great numbers of drays and wagons in motion as many shippers have not considered it prudent to ship their goods until they were assured of an early clearance. A new, life-like interest has been infused into the various departments of trade, which will doubtless continue until the spring season has passed. Baltimore street was thronged yesterday by ladies and gentlemen enjoying the balmy atmosphere.

Castings for New York. We understand that the eminent builder of "iron houses," Mr. Bo- gardus, of New York, has just contracted with. Messrs. Hayward, Bartlett Ic of this city, for the iron castings, the columns, Sec, often warehouses, each of five stories, to be built oa Broadway, New York.

It will thus be seen that Baltimore mechanics are called upon, and can, supply something to beautify a portion of that art of the thoroughfare of New York which is ignified by the name of Broadway. These same gentlemen furnished the columns 'for the "Harper Building," and others, in that city, erectedl under the superintendence of Mr. Bogardus. Health of Baltimore. The health of this city continues excellent, no epidemic disease whatever prevailing here, whilst chronic and chest diseases seem on the decline.

The whole number of interments for the week ending Monday morning was 99, of which" were of consumption 25, still-born 11, unknown infantile 11, and 11 of scarlet and catarrhal fevers. No less than 51 were infants under five years of age, whilst but 9 persons had attained an age beyond 60 years; 2S were colored persons all free. The Poor Ball. The ball which was give for the benefit of the poer of the city, last week, it is known was a very happy and successful affair. We learn that the number of tickets taken at the door on the occasion was one thousand four hundred and ninety one.

The managers suppose that the affair will net $1,500 or more. This is a very gratifying result, in view of the want and deprivation that it may serve to relieve. Resignation. A. P.

Giles, resigned yesterday the office of cashier of the Franklin Bank of Baltimore, for the purpose of devoting his whole time and attention to agricultural pursuits In Baltimore county. Mr. Giles has been connected with the Franklin Bank for twenty-six years, and has been its cashier for the last sixteen years. He has been with it through all its difficulties, and now leaves it in prosperity and high credit. Supposed Davis yesterday arrested a colored man, who gave his name as Isaac Queen, and says he belongs to the eastern shore of Maryland, upon suspicion of being a runaway, i ce negro assertea tnat ne was tree, and coming here upon an eastern shore vessel, had been frozen in.

Officer Merriken yesterday arrested a man named Thompson upon the charge of assaulting Mrs. Thompson, his sister-in-law.

In default oif security to answer at court he was committed to jail by Justice Bixler. Attempted Robbery.

A short time previous he had tried and found it closed, being absent only some twenty minutes before he found it forced as stated. Entering he found ne one.

He contended that the circulation of the Scriptures was an object second in importance to no other that it was the cause of God, Heaven, and men; how much good it would do if unfettered by the isms of men; what the world would be without it, and what it was with it; the numerous efforts making to oppose it; that the Bible was the only religion of this country; that it was the only cure for moral, civil, political and social ills; described the condition of nations without it; individual responsibility of Christians to aid in its circulation, and a practical application of his remarks to those present.

From District of Columbia Florence O'Don-noghue 1 Levelling Baltimore Street. Ever since the first installment of winter, followed as it was by constant changes of weather, the bed of Baltimore street, especially from the bridge at Jones' Falls to Green street, has been covered with deep ruts, hills, and holes, not only rendering it difficult of travel but absolutely dangerous. The ice had hardened to such an extent "that the authorities doubted the possibility of cutting it entirely away. The moderation of the atmosphere, however, during the last few days, induced the Health Commissioner, Dr. Houck, to make the attempt.

Accordingly a party of fifty able bodied men were set at work, ana last evening had succeeded most admirably. Nearly the entire length of the squares above mentioned had been nicely picked, and the heavy cakes of ice thrown up in piles on each side. A large number of carts were yesterday used in removing it. This street at an early hour this morning will be in the best traveling order. The authorities are now considering the propriety of clearing off other streets.

There i3 one square, viz: Fayette street, between Gay and Holliday, which should be attended to at once. It is" how in a worse condition than ever. Although the Health Commissioner is at tending to the work, it is understood that the City Commissioner's department will pay th-bill. The Murder of Eislinger. The Sun of yesterday contained the particulars of the murder of a German named Christian Eislinsrer.

the circum stances of which were of so horrible a character as to excite considerable feeling, especially in the section of the city where the deed was committed Justice Denny, who committed the accused to jail to answer the charge of wilful murder, was yesterday called upon by the wife of the deceased, whose statement to the justice adds even singularity to the case. She was accompanied by her two sons, one aged 14 and the other about VI years, leaving at home her daughter. She stated that they had been married about 17 years, during which nothing had occurred to disturb their mutual happiness. About six weeks since her husband lefttheir home, situated on Watson street, near Canal, for the purpose of working as a journeyman at his trade, in order to raise money whereby to pay the rent of their house, since wliich she had heard nothing of him until after his death and burial. It now appears that during the first two weeks of his absence he was engaged at Canton, whilst the remaining weeks were spent at the house of Mr.

Lainhoff. She declares that she is not aware of his keeping company with any woman other than herself, and certainly presented a picture of deep distress at her misfortune. After exchanging views upon the matter with the magistrate in relation to the matter, she started for the jail, with the intention of having an interview with the al-laged murderess. It is worthy of remark that the deceased was buried wifhin'four hours of his death. A Man Shot.

Perhaps Fatal. Yesterday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, a party of vouns men entered the residence of Mr. John Weiss, No, 91 Thames street, on the north side, a few doors east of Broadway, and called for liquor. Mr. W.

told them that he did not sell anything. They then commenced a row, which resulted in three running away, while the fourth drew a pistol and discharged it at Mr. W. The contents of the pistol took effect on him, a ball striking and entering on the lower part of the abdomen, in the epigastric region, ana on the left side, passed around to the lumbar region, between the muscles and the skin. Dr.

Dashield was in attendance and extracted the ball. The wound is regarded as a dangerous one. It is apprehended that besides the ball there is a slug which passed into the body. Dr. Clendeninwas also in attendance.

The parties guilty of the deed all escaped. The injured man is a journeyman tailor, a resident of some fifteen years, and" is represented as a quiet and inoffensive man. Arrival of Vessels. The Exchange Book records the arrival at this port within the last 43 hours of several vessels, all which, however, have been towed up bv steamers. Last evening at 6 o'clock several steam-tugs were off Fort McHenry.

having in tow a numberof sailing vessels. The large' steamers Belvidere and Pocahontas were also observed coming up through the track, without any apparent having vessels in tow. The steamer AVilliam Selden, from Fredericksburg, has also arrived. The steamer Monmouth. Captain D.

Leffler, lying at Ligh St. wharf, yesterday forenoon, about 12 o'clock, got clearly off. breaking thick ice, on her way to Kent Island, where she proceeded, as we understand, to extend succor to the schooner Alabama, there ashore. She would extend all assistance otherwise she could. Since the above was written we learn that the Relief is below, bringing up a tow of vessels.

Presentation. On the occasion of the benefit of Miss Mary E. Devlin, a favorite actress of the Museum company, at that place, last evening, she i was presented by some of her friends in this city with a complete set of Shakspeare's works, hana- snmflv bound and valued at Sl somelv bound, and valued at S30. The presen 1 tation was made on the part of the donors by Wm. Hamilton Smith, in a neat speech, and in receiving them the fair beneficiary respond ed in appropriate and grateful terms, assuring the donors that the memento of regard and ap-' probation should incite her to renewed efforts to please the attendants of that place of amusement, 1 nnd he ever pronerlv cherished.

The whole af fair was alike creditable to the talented recipient and those who had the matter in charge. Escape of Youthful Prisoners.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN TURKEY. Letter to the Grand Vizier from the American Minister.

The New York Observer contains a letter from the Rev. C. N. Righter, a Presbyterian missiona ry at Constantinople, accompanied by one from the Hon. Carroll topence, (ot Baltimore,) the Ame rican Minister in Turkey, appealing for the abo lition throughout.

the Turkish dominions of the death penalty against Mahometans who have turned Christians. It appears from the letter of Mr. Kighter that a deputation on behalf of the Evangelical Conference of Paris, representins ranee, Germany and America, recent ly waited upon the Sultan and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, with a memorial prayine; for liberty of conscience in the Turkish dominions. and also a repeal of the Turkish law which in-' nicts the penalty of death upon all native born Mussulmans who embrace the Christian faith. They were very kindly received, and assured tnat the subject wouia receive due consideration.

Mr. ighter gives several instances where of late TurKs wno nave embraced the Christian re-ligion have been banished or severely punished. The letter of Mr. Soence. which armears to have been written in consequence of a combined movement ot the diplomatic corps at Constantinople, is as follows: United States Legation, Constantinople, Nov.

15, 1335. To His Highness Ali Pasha, Grand Vizier: In unison with some of mv cllR.icri,pa near fha Sublime Porte, I beg to call the attention of your liiicuciity to a suoject in wnicn my government feels a deep interest. I allude to theabrorration 01 the law making it a capital offence for a Mussulman to renounce Islamism. Before assigning to your Excellency the rea-' sons which have induced me to address you the present communication, permit me to remark that, as the diplomatic representative of the government of the United States in the dominions of the Sultan, I desire to arrogate to myself no iiut iu liiieriere ut tuc civil or religious regulations of his Majesty's government. Permitting no intervention on the part of other nations in its domestic concers, the government of the United States claims no right to interfere with the internal policy of other Powers; it however cannot but feel an interest in all questions in which its citizens, either from political or religious mo tives, are jnterested, and if the expression of that interest on this occasion is suggestive of the the repeal of a law which affects the subjects of anotner country, it nopes that a desire to procure for them the same religious freedom enjoyed bv its own citizens, will entitle its suggestions to ah indulgent consideration.

As the representative, however, of a republic, the constitution of which disclaims all right on the part of its national legislature to make "any law for the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" the territories and honors of which have ever been open to the believers in all faiths the laws of which operate alike on the followers of all prophets, I natter myself that I shall escape the imputation of an officious interference in the affairs of his Majesty's Government, in suggesting to it the abrogation of a law which compels'man to purchase the most estimable of all rights, freedom of conscience, at the expense' of his life. If, however, I entertained any scruples of delicacy in address ing your Excellency upon a subject so intimately connected with the religious organization of your government, a knowledge of the numerous reforms already made by his Majesty the Sultan, to ameliorate the condition and to contribute to the happiness and prosperity of his subjects, would have induced me to abandon them. Frankly and freely I propose to present to your Excellency's consideration such suggestions as I deem ad visa ble in support of the request which I make his Majesty's government, drawing from the past concessions made by him to his Christian subjects in favor of religious freedom, a hope that ho will accord similar privileges to the Mussulman population of his empire. Your excellency is doubtless aware of the fact that many of the causes and reasons which in times gone by generated a spirit of religious persecution, and sanctioned the enactment of laws punishing apostacy with death, have ceased tot exist, and are now regarded by mankind as causes-, too inadequate, reasons too barbarous for the effusion of human blood. That bigotry which in former times opened the arteries of life, when it could not open the door of religious conviction, which forced the Israelite to seek from Mohammedan Turkev a home denied him in Christian Spain, and which deprived that kingdom of the industry, intelligence and enterprise of her Mussulman population which peopled the wilds of America with religious refugees from Protestant England and Huguenots from Catholic France that mistaken zealfor the church, which legalized the tortures of the Italian and Spanish inquisitions, sanctioned the alternate burning of Protestants and Catholics in England, consigned to the dungeons of Germany the earlier reformers and enacted retaliatory laws against Catholics in other countries that religious thirst for human blood, slaked in the sacrifice of Israelites in almost every Christian country of Europe, have all within the last century disappeared, and the laws dictated by them have ceased to disgrace the statute books of an enlightened age.

Time' has taught man to be mora indulgent to the opinions of "his fellow-men, and religion is fast fulfilling the great mission assigned to it by the God of the universe, paving the way to that future state of happiness to which humanity aspires, with acts or charity, not with deeds of persecution. Its teachings have neither been lost upon individuals or nations. Upon the hearts of the former it has made impressions of good will and mercy towards his fellow man; among the latter it has sown those seeds of reform, which, bursting through the dark ages of the past, are now producing fruits of civil and religious freedom for the nineteenth century. The spirit of civilization nourished by them is fastdiffusing Itself through the world. Neither tyranny nor bi-giotry have been able to arrest its progress.

In the entrencneft camj), in tne waiiea town, in the church or mosque of the "bigoted vvorSlpper of God, in the temple of the life-immolating heathen, it has found admission. From all nations, from all creeds it has levied tributes for man's happiness. It has closed the doors of the Christian inquisition it has arrested the march of the martial propagation of Islamism is quenching the flames of the funeral pile which devours the heathen widow is forcing the pagan Cannibal to abandon his orgies of human llesh, and is now demanding from Turkey the abrogation of a law repugnant alike to reason and humanity. A perfect state of national isolation can alone prevent a government from being influenced hy it. Its isolation once destroyed, the bonds of brotherhood entered into with other countries, the spirit of civilization which animates them must influence it.

As long as the policy of the Sublime Porte favored a species of national seclusion, other nations were to some extent indifferent as to the usages or laws which affected its people. The Christian world heard with equal indifl'erence of the consignment of some faithless female to the waters of the Bosphorus, or of the decapitation of an apostate Mussulman. When, however, Turkey took her stand among the.civilized nations of the earth, and claimed by them to be one of their number, she was called upon to make good her claim to be so considered, by the abrogation of such laws as are repugnant to the rubric of civilization established by the civilized world. To this exaction of civilization, if I may so term it, the Sublime Porte has of late most liberally responded. No nation in Europe has, within so short a time, made more numerous or more important reforms.

No government has exhibited a greater desire to conform its institutions and its policy to the spirit of the age. The various decrees of the Sultan tending to enlarge the religious and civil freedom of his subjects are fresh in the memory of all of us. By the Khatti Sherif of Gulkharie of 1S39, that magna charta of Turkish civil liberty, Tie guaran -teed to his subjects, irrespective of their religious creeds, security in the enjoyment of life, reputation and property. By the penal code promulgated in isio aunw form code of criminal laws was established for all, and the power of life ami death was taken from the hands of the sovereign, and consigned exclusively to the custody of the law. By a pledge given a few years ago to the Chris tian powers, no Christian embracing Islamism, and returning to faith, shall suffer death for his apostasy.

By an imperial flrman, promulgated for the purpose of protecting the Jews from Christian persecution, they are declared entitled to the same rights and privileges as those accorded to the other subjects of the Porte, and the Sultan asserts his determination to protect and defend them therein-. By a flrman of 1855, Protestant Armenians were sheltered from the persecutions of the Armenian church, and religious freedom, and protection in the enjoyment of it, accorded to them; and by an ordinance of 1852, the importation of white slaves from Circassia was forbidden. Other reforms less Important, tending, however, to strike down the barriers erected by custom, usage or law foe-; tween Christians and MilsseLmans have been sanctioned or acquiesced in by the ORbman government. The enumeration of the above, howe. ver, is the best proof which I can give your Excellency of my appreciation of them.

Term it me also to inform your excellency that not only does the spirit of civilization, (of the influence of which 1 nave already spoken, on your and other governments,) demand the -abrogation of the existing law, punishing, apostasy with death, but a wise administration of the powers of a government dictates to the governing power the repeal of all laws, when the cause and reasons for their enactment have ceased to apply-to the existing state of things. When the immediate descendants of the prophet, burning with a zeal to fulfil the command of the Koran, to "make war against all those who believed neither in God or a future judgment, and who did not observe what was forbidden by God and his prophet," made, in less than twenty years after the death of the founder of their religion, their triumphal march through Arabia, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, along the northern portion of Africa as far as the pillars of Hercules when conquered nations were commanded to embrace Mohammedanism, or pay the tribute of submission, every Musselman was not only a propagator of Islamism. but the defender of the religious and military organization upon which it was based: his apostasy was both a civil and religious offence, because the faithful lost by it a propagator oi its tloctrines. tne state a aefen der of its social organization. When in later times those knirhts errant of Christianitv.

incit ed by the church and by a holy love for plunder, desolated Christian countries and sacked Christian towns in their efforts to wrench from the believers in the prophet the birth-place of their oaviour, wnen every true Deiiever in islamism was called upon to defend, his own territories against Christian doctrines and Christian arms to fight for his mosque and his fireside, then, too, apostasy was big with danger to the church and tne When, in still more recent times, vour Osmanli forefathers carved their way throug'h subjugated tnristian nations lrom tne JJaraanelles to Vienna, and established in Europe an entrenched camo. ever liable to be conquered by the people they had subjugated, or by the nations eager to arrest the expansion of Islam, when the throne of the Sultan could alone be protected, and the faith of your ancestors aeieated. by tne arms of the true ucuever men, too, apostasy i rom isiamism was a severance of the bonds of safety to all, a military civil and religious desertion from the true faith, the army and the state. A similar state of things no longer exists. The mission of Islamism has been accomplished so far as conquest is concerned.

Its followers have merged their religious military into a civil religious organization: they have abandoned a thirst for perpetual war for a desire for continued peace, ana burying the preiudices ot the past. they now call upon their Christian countrymen to lend their assistance in defending their territo ries, which in times gone by could alone be defended by those professing the same faith as themselves. Apostasy now is but a desertion from the prevailing faith, and does not entail, as oi vore, upon tne state tne loss ot a aetenaer. ny then punish it with the loss of that life which may be devoted to the doctrine of the country, and now deemed worthy to protect the tnrone oi me neaa oi tne EMate, ana tne faith The basis of that monument of national form. laid by Sultan Mahmoud of glorious memory, in the blood of the Dere-Beys and Janissaries, those opponents of civil and religious liberty, was be queathed to the present Sultan as a foundation wnereon to erect such subsequent reforms as might be required by the exigencies of the fu ture.

Incited by the same laudable love for the good of the people which prompted his illustrious father to commence and continue a series of reforms, in despite of difficulties both at home and abroad, to which a spirit less resolute than his own would have succumbed, the present Sultan, since his arrival to the throne, has 2iven ample evidence of his determination to complete tne structure wnicn nis great iatner commencea. Zealously and wisely has he applied himself to the task. Each year his subjects, by his concessions in favor of political or religious freedom, have witnessed its progress towards completion. The crowning stone, however, bcarin? the inscription of "Freedom of conscience to all," remains to be laid to culminate this great national monument to civilization; will he whose life has been devoted to its erection, the worthy rival of his illustrious father in his labors of reform, permit some future Sultan, by placing it there, to rob him of an honor, of which he has proved himself so worthy? The civilized world hopes not. Entertaining the views above expressed, I re spectfully request your Excellency to present them to fhe consideration of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, and make known the deep interest which I feel in common with many of my col leagues accredited to his court, in the abrogation of a law.

the causes for the observance of which have ceased to exist, the execution of which is dissonant from the humane and enlightened spi rit i tne age in wnicn we live. Permit me. while expressing a hope that the views above stated may find an advocate in the person of your Excellency with his Imperial Ma jesty the Sultan, to renew to you the assurances of my high consideration.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Cairo, Jan. 18th, 1356. Cairo First Impressions Its Position and History The Esbequeeh The Bazaars The Mosques Those of Sultan Hasan and Too-loon The Citadel The Alabaster Mosques of Mahomet Ali The Fearful Leap of Emin Bey, the Last of the Mamelukes The Palace Joseph's IFtZ The Beautiful View from the Citadel The Distant Obelisk of Heliopolis The Charming Gardens of Shoobra Its Kiosk The Extreme Loveliness of the Spot. No pilgrim ever hailed with more delight his anxiously desired haven, or quitted with more pleasure his tempest tossed vessel, than I left the miserable little boat that brought me from Caffir Lais to Boulak.

and sought a carriage to carry me to my hotel. A spacious avenue, fringed with sycamores and the sweet scented acacias, leads from the landing place to Cairo. Though it was an early hour of morning, every body seemed to be abroad and everything in motion. Crowds of turbaned Egyptians in their long blue robes were passing and repassing, donkeys at full gallop were endeavoring to save themselves from the shower of blows which their drivers were inflicting upon them, and strings of loaded camels with their long and swaying steps were constantly going and coming, whilst an occasional glimpse at the white marble of some highly de corated, fountain would, be obtained, through the green foliage of the surrounding gardens. About three miles from Boulak we enter the city gates and find ourselves in the grand square of the Esbequeeh, the chief quarter of the Frank population.

This is filled with pretty walks and pleasant gardens, and is one of the few desirable places in Cairo. Under the refreshing influence of bath and breakfast I started out to visit the city and curiosities, and, though I have rambled through it frequently since, my first impressions have not been effaced. The "Great al Cairo," as Milton calls it, the "City of the Caliph," is emphatically an Oriental and Arabian city, its high battlemented walls of Saracenic architecture and everything within them, bears the impress of its original founders. Situated nearly three miles from the Nile, upon the borders of the desert of Suez, and but a short distance from the prolific and fertile Delta, it commands the central position of Egypt, and though younger than most of the cities, it has far outstripped them all in population and commerce. Scarcely dating farther back than the eighth century, its growth has been gradual but sure.

Founded by the Arabian conquerors of Egypt, it became, under the beneficent and brilliant reign of Saladin, the "beautiful city of the East" baffling by her strong walls, and the still stronger arms of her heroes, the attacks of the Crusaders under Louis 9th, she gained the enviable title of "The Victorious" whilst beneath the fostering care of the Mamaluke Sultans beautified with all the varitty and picturesqueness of Arabian architecture, she was proudly called by her people "The Magnificent." Thus is her history linked with all the dynasties that have swayed modern Egypt. Since then a mighty change must indeed have stolen over her, for but little now remains to attest her former grandeur and magnificence. The present city, save in the Frank quarter Esbequeeh, is but a collection of mean, dingy looking' buildings, many without either doors or windows. I never saw a place where ruin and decay were more plainly written upon it. Occasionally one stumbles upon well built and preserved houses, but these only show by contrast the delapidation and wretchedness of "the many miserable ones clustered It is but a vast labyrinth of narrow and tortuous streets, many of them scarcely wide enough for the passage of a loaded Camel, and in the Jewish quarter the houses are built so close together that the roofs nearly touch.

Like all cities of the East, each class of population has its distinct quarter, in which they are obliged to resiae. Passing through a maze of dirty aiid nafftfW streets, and pushing our way through a lazy and motley crowd, we reach the bazaars nothing more than narrow lanes covered over with bits of. canvas to keep off the rays of the sun, and can bear no comparison, either in extent or in the profusion or variety of their merchandise, to those of Constantinople. Everything is arranged and conducted in the same manner, and a description of one gives you a perfect idea of the other; Of the four hundred mosques which Cairo is' said to contain, none are either so grand or magnificent as those of Stamboul. Those that I have visited, and they were among the flnestv fell far below St.

Sophia. There is a novelty in the style of their architecture which renders them interesting. Their domes are less grand and imposing, and their minarets less slender and graceful, Those of Tooloon and Sultan Hassan present the finest specimens of the pure Arabian style 6f architecture. The minaret of the former is. spiral, and was built after the design of a twisted piece of paper, which the Sultan was holding in his hand when the architect requested upon what model he wished it constructed.

I was particularly struck with its magnificent portico aAd its exceedingly richly carved cornice. 1 Emerging from the city by one of its heavy arched antique gateways, and climbing the wind beautiful little mosque of white alabaster, with its slender and graceful minarets of the same material. It is built after the plan of St. Sophia, and is decidedly the prettiest here. The interior is entirely finished with oriental alabaster, highly Folished and richly and tastefully ornamented.

was shown two columns of the same costly material, said to be the largest and finest of the kind in the world. In one corner, protected by a heavy and elaborately carved bronze grating, are the tombs of Mahomet Ali and his family, covered with rich Cashmere shawls, whilst his is surmounted by a red tarbouck ornamented with an aigrette of brilliants. One of the chief objects of attraction within tne wans ot tne citadei is the spot from which Emin Bey leaped his horse to escape the cruel death which Mahomet Ali inflicted upon the Mamelukes. 'Tis indeed a dizzy height, and upon looking at it, it appears miraculous how he ever accomplished it. Nearby is the palace of the Viceroy, where he receives the ministers of foreign bowers.

Joseph's Well, also here, is regarded with feelings of veneration by many who connect it with the Jewish ruler of Egypt. It was built, however, in the time of Saladin, whose Arabic name was Yusef. From the platform which runs upon the high waus oi ine citaaei tne nnesi views of Cairo and the surrounding country are obtained.

Stretching away to the eastern horizon nothing is to be seen but the yellow sand of the desert of Suez, the monotony of the scene somewhat relieved by the abrupt hills of Mokottam. Turning from this barren prospect, and looking towards the south, the eye rests with pleasure upon the green groves and gardens of Shoobra and the fertile and luxuriant plains of the Delta: whilst the single obelisk of Heliopolis add a classic interest to the scene. Towards the west, spread out in all its beauty, is the verdant valley of the Nile, studded with its villages, its groves of the plumy palm and its ncii crops; the winding river glistening in the sun resembling a cord of silver. Beyond, on the very verge of the horizon and upon the arid bor ders of the Lybian desert, clothed by the distance in an azure iiue, tower to tne sKies inose suoiime monuments of the past, the pyramids of Gizeh and Sakkara. A pleasant ride is it to the gardens and palace of Shoobra situated near the Nile about three miles from Cairo.

The fine avenue that leads to it runs along the banks of the river, and is beautifully shaded by overhanging locusts and cyca- mores. Like everything else that is modern and pretty, it was built bv Mahomet Ali. and was one of the favorite spots to which he was wont to retire to escape from the cares and anxieties of office and the noise and bustle of a busy city. The entrance is through an arched gateway, which was undergoing repair. The srardens are and tastefully laid out, but now somewhat neglected, filled with fragrant flowers of everv variety and with citron, orange, lemon and poingranate trees.

The paths are fringed with shrubs and flowering evergreens so plentiful in this country. In the centre stands the principal Kiosk, a perfect agricultural bijou. Ascending by a flight of white marble steps, we reach a beautifully proportioned portico of the Corinthian style, and passing the richly carved doorway we enter the lona: graceful corridor which runs around the whole building. This is supported upon fluted columns of varie gated marble, the roof painted in fresco. The whole enclosing an immense basin, in the centre of which is a richly ornamented and fantastic fountain, pouring out its waters from the mouths of crocodiles.

At each corner is a room richly furnished, with polished floor of inlaid wood. Under the coionades were placed luxurious di vans, upon which the Viceroy would recline to witness the women of his harem enjoying themselves by gliding over the bosom of the water in faily painted boats. 'Tis one of the few things have seen since my stay in the East that has reached my pre-conceivedidea of Orientalsplen-dor. I can readily picture to myself tke beauty of the scene when bathed in the silver light of an Eastern moon; the graceful outlines of the Palace, softened by the hues of twilight; the delicious fragrance that must ever steal from the flowers and orange groves of the gardens; the murmurs of the low fountains; the lovely forms of the beauties of the Harem, either nestled upon the luxurious divans, or gliding like so many fairies in their tiny boats over the glassy surface of the miniature of the lake the whole is, indeed, worthy the tastes of this Egyptian Sarda-napalus. S.

The Alleged Murderers of Gordon. On the 25th Worrell, arrested in Delaware, and Bruff, arrested in Tennessee, on suspicion of being the murderers of Mr. Gordon, the railroad engineer, both reached St. Louis in custody of oflicers. The St.

Louis Republican says: The prisoners, as is now well established, are the same who deserted not long from Fort Leavenworth, where they were enlisted under assumed names. We learn that both stood well in the army, one occupying the position of Orderly Sergeant in a company of the line, and the other being a Sergeant in the Quartermaster's Department. The horses they were seen riding after their desertion from Fort Leavenworth were stolen. Both are voung men Worrell, the eldest, not exceeding thirty years of age and of more than ordinary" decency and gentility of address and appearance. Their guilt is now evident beyond a doubt.

Each has confessed his presence at the murder of Mr. Gordon, and an accessory participation in the crime; but each charges the principal criminality in Gordon's death upon the other. The Late Major Hambleton. El Nica- raguense, in announcing the death, in the city of Granada, (Nicaragua,) on the 30th of January, of Major Jesse S. Hambleton, Paymaster-General of the Army, and former Commissary of War of the Republic of Nicaragua, says: "Major Hambleton went to California from his place of nativity, (Baltimore, in 1349, with the appointment of Collector of Customs for the port of Sacramento.

While filling that position he conducted affairs in a manner that won for him the highest respect as a public officer. With other adventurous spirits he joined the democratic forces in Nicaragua in their struggle against the legitimists. Shortly after the taking of Granada he was made Commissary of War, which position he occupied until a short time previous to his death, when he was made Paymaster-General. As an officer, firm friend and social companion Major Hambleton had few equals." LOCAL MATTERS. Maryland State Bible Society.

The twenty-second anniversary of this society took place la'st evening in the Central Presbyterian church, and was more numerously attended than any religious anniversary of the season. The prefatory exercises commenced with the reading of a chapter of the Bible by Rev. Augustus Webster, of the Methodist Protestant church, followed with prayer by Rev. John Morris, of the English Lutheran church. The President of the society, Wm.

McKim, then took the chair, and after stating the object of the meeting introduced Rev. John R. Jarboe, Secretary of the society, who read the annual report. It appears from this document that there were connected with the Tract Society 20 auxiliares, only 13 of which were actively engaged during the nast vear. These were the societies of Balti more, Carroll, Frederick, Somerset, Cecil, Kent, Mont'o-omerv and Alleffanv counties, the Female Auxiliary of Baltimore city, the Ladies' Branch i.r on4 Tnnovtnu-n Society of Baltimore city, and the Taneytown Auxiliary.

The whole number of Bibles distributed by the auxiliaries during the year was 3,556, which was 4.23 copies less than for the preceding year. Of the twenty-three auxiliaries but fifteen were supplied with books, the remaining eight having resented no reports. i The society has employed for colporters, three in the city of Baltimore "and one in St. Mary's and Charles counties. During the year they visited 15,937 families, 2,230 of which were "'out the K'wl Of the whole number 1,767 were'of the Roman TktncMc fth, of whlck 3t3 were found without the bible.

During the fifty years the bible cause has been in existence only 50,000,000 copies of the scriptures have been circulated among the one thousand millions of people of the world, and it has only been translated into 150 out of the 2,500 languages of the earth. The collections for this work amount to only fifty cents for each member of the Protestant church. During the year there were distributed to the hotels, almshouse, penitentiary, steamboats, shipping and railroad depots, 2b3 copies of the bible, which, it is hoped, had a beneficial effect. The Depository issued during the year 17,814 copies of the bible, at a cost of $5,725 82, and the profits realized $468 63. The whole remaining debt on the bible house is the remaining portion having been paid by a legacy from the late Samuel McDonald, and since the beginning.
