The great novelty of the week is the ar rival of a han I of real laayaderes, brought to this country from India. by M. Tardvol. There is not the slightest doubt that these are properly authentie..ted importations. andi that no deceit is intenL d.

Just as the vessel was about to sail,the lirahanins eamm in crowds to judge for thecSelves if the accommtto dutiton was such as they could approve of. One of these girls (Atany) had been beloved for some time by a youg Br-ithmin. lie had not it appears, made much im pression on her heart, as she looked cold ly on when he rushed flrward atnd threw hinmself in despair at her feet imploring her not to leave him. ie could not he torn from her presence; his tears and lamen tations were sonli rient to excite emotion in a w% hole troop of dancing girls. Amany remain l severe and inflexible; and at last mo order to put an end to the scene, the or der was given to weigh anchor. The un happy Brahmin hesitated for some time, and the general opinion was that thesame vessel would bring to Europe, a troop of linyaderes and a priest of ig gd t Wfit at'last he -tarit %f" 'nce bwt the dome of the temple and murmured forith a fragment of a sacred song , he gave a parting glance at his hard-hearted mis tress and plunged into the sea. In a short titme he reached the shore by swimming nsd the passengers could see his stand ing in his white drapery like i statue, until distince mingled together till objects. During the voyage. the w-amenr indulged in lie greatest merriment, while the ten r'nained apart, silent ;ald sad. When heavy we;ither arose. they chnunted to gether, stthin in : circle, a melancholv air which also accompanmes the sacre'd dlances. Nothing could be more singular than this plaintive chant, broken by the storm-sotmetimes lost altogether. and sotetimes comning over the ear, like a weakened echo. For some days after their arrival nt Bordeaux, they lived on milk sand fruit. They only use vessels without crack or spmnt; they afterwards prepared fish in their country fashion, of which they eat with great msioderation. I yesterday had the good fortune to meet with a votng physician of Bordenax, who was preseni when these children of the Air appeared at a private house for the first time in Eu rope. Only a few persons were present. Their eturiomsity was at its hiehe.t pitch when ;a niuse olittle hells was heard in she ou'side room.

A prodigious excitement prevails in Ire land, especially in the North; in conse quence of an actual living Mermaid, which was recently cataght in a-sahanon net at Ilanneraw Point, in the county of Done gal. 'here can he no mistake in this fact as five or six p.ipers corroborate it, in the important poidts, but the "Derry Sentinel" and the "Fermenagh Journal," are the most enthusiastic and particular in their leseriptions. The first aannouncemeut ap peared in the Sentinel, as follows: A mermaid, and no mistake,-A very general disbelief ina the existence of the Me-rmaid is likely to receive a severe shock fiomn the truth of the following statement: A creature in every respect answering, the usual description of the "sea woman," was caught lately in the salmon nets at Ilunne raw Point, near Foahan, county Donegal. She is at present under the protection of a gentleman of that neighborhood. who has kindly permitted the countrv people. who are flocking in hundreds about the place,to "see and believe." The members of the Londonderry Natural History Society, we understand, are to investigate this extraor dinary phenomenon, for the purpose of sending an immediate report of their ob servations to the British A iation,sitting 1tiNsiastle "We uaerl tatiihat if the novel mronster should survive the sudden change in her situation. she will he sen: to Viscount Melbourne as a present to the Queen: if not, the body will be preserved in spirits, and will grace the now forming museum or our local society." The ef'ect of this notice was, that at least a fourth of all the inhabitants of Der ry, who could allord the erpense, procee ded in a hedy to Honeraw, where they were admitted to an inspection of the sit gular creature; which is thus described in the Fermanagh Journal. The Mermaid.-This is certainly a sea womunn; aud has such an expression of in telligence in its countenance, that we are absolutely inclined to baelieve that it is a creature of reason. rather than of instinct. We do tot mean to insinuate that it has any notion of abstract ideas; but the fact is, that there is an appearance of confu sion about it that would seem to indicate sentiments of shame, fear and sot ppliention. It weighs abut seventy pounds, and is al together human in its outward organization. from the head to the navel, where the fish begins to develope itself, nod the remain der is formed very like the extremity of a large dolphimn. 'I he skin of the face and the breast is a r. hitish brown-the eyes are black, and the nose purely aquiline; .nad its eye brows, lips and dchin. are mod els for a sculptor. The hair is long and thick; and the crature's principal amuse mentr is to stroke it downward with her webbed, hut otherwise. very perfect fin gers. It looks to he twelve ear focurteent years old; andl re'gardsa p~eople.occasia~lly. us if it had an inaclination to sprak; and n'e are soletimnly of the ocpinio, that, whent ini its nattive elemenat, it attakes its wvishecs kntownm throaughI the mnediumt ofits tonige. Altogether indeed, at is thee anost sinaga heinag we ever witnessed, anid excites iee lings in te bceholde'rs, at least as imcIl akint to awe as to curiosity.

We could not speak each others language; we were born& lived thotsands of miles sapsart, & we were strangers in our thoughts and feelings,in all our hopes and prospects, but we had a hnd of sympathy at the grave of Koscusko. One of the ladies spoke French, and I told them that in my far distant country, the name of their nation's idol was hallowed; that schoolboys had erected a monument to his memory. They knew that he had fought by theside of Washington, bit they did not know that the recollection of his services was still so dearly cherished in America; and we all agreed that it was the proudest tri bute that could be paid to his memory, to write merely his naume on his monument. It meant that it was needless to ndd an epitaph, for no man would ask. who was Kosciusko! An Old-Fashioned Eclipse.-The edi tor of the Cancinnati Post,(whose mnemtorv is a complete store house of old timne oc currences.) gives the fslowing interesting account of the Eclipse which occurred iit 1806. The editor should indulge his rea ders with more ofthe mpast: "It was our happiness to be at Provi dence, R. ,latnd, when the total Eclipse of June, 1806, took place;.-the day w as perfectly bright-the phenomenon cotm menced between 11 and 12 o'clock, and after the sun became totally obscured, it remained so for more than half an hour. Its operatton It animated nature was truly antd awfully sublime. The birds flew about in evident distress and terror, the domestic fowls ran about in all direc tions cackling as in a fright. Horses gal loped round their lauteres neighing; while the horned cattle which seemed more of frighted than the rest, tore up the earth with their horns and feet in madness-all this tproar was followed by the silence of uidniglt, when the eclipse-was complete; the birds retired to their resting places; the fowls to their roosts, the hornes to their stalls, and the cattle to;-their mangers, while the stars shone forth in their beauty, and all was still. Whep the run -ate;;n to appear, a-lare numibef of ntt.sctans, students of Brown University, assembled upon the terrace of the College. and struck up Milton's ilyant to Light. Time effect was atoether sub. lime and beautiful. Nothing that ever met our eye or ear, before or since, was ever equal to it." The Ancient Greek and Roman Table. -The difl'erence between the diet of the ancients and that of the moderns is very striking. The ancient Greeks nnd Ro mans used no alcoholic liquor, it being un knota to them: nor cofll'e. nor tea, not chocolate, nor sugar, nor even butter; for Galen informs us he had seen butter but once in his life. They were ignorant of the greater number of our tropicai spices, as cloves, nutmeg. mace, ginger, Jamaica pepper, curry, pittento. They used neither buekwheat, nor French beans, nor spin nach, nor sago, tapioca, salad, arrow-root. nor potato, or its varieties not even the common, but a sort of marsh grown bean; nor many of our fruits, as the oratnge, or tamarind, nor A merican maize. On the either hand, they ate substances which we now neglect-the mallow, the herb or ox tongue. the sweet acorn, the lupin. They used radblish, lettuce, sorrel. They liked the flesh of wild asses, of little dogs, of the drmotse, of the fox, of the bear. They ate the flesh of parroquets, and other rare hird., andt of lizards. They were fintd of a great many fish, and shtell fish, which we nows hold itt no esteetm. They emt platyed as senaonings, riue, and asnaetida. Dr. Dick's Diet and Regimen. An Editor made opulnt.-M.
