[J sixty-sixth anniversary of our National j Independency was celebrated with unusual spir- j al - it by the members and invited guests of tlie Dia- if Icctic Club. At an catly hour in the evening, \v they assembled at the Ilall, where an oration 1' was pronounced by M. P. Belcher, in which the , orator did justice to himself and the subject, j fwhich was, " The advantages that would result j' from a general diffusion of knowledge.." This j was dealt with in a masterly manner, through fie course of which, ho touched upon the advan-' 1V tages of Debating Societies, and concluded his ; remarks on our National Independence and the' p Military of our country. After the applause had h subsided, the company sat down to well prepared and excellent supper,1 which was not Hiarctlo:|' take."

Timely medical aid was obtained. and the whole family bccotne soon convalescent. . ~ APPROACH TO.SIXAT.As we advanced, the valley still opened wider and wider, with a gentle assent, and became full of shrubs and tufts of herbs, <liut in orr each side by loftv granite ridges with ni<f?ed. shattered peaks, a thousand feet high, while the face ofllurcb rose directly before us. Both my^feompani'ihs and myself involuntarily exclaimed, "ilere is room enough for a large encampment.1', Reaching the top of the ascent, or watgfe shed, a fine broad plain lay ^.before us sfo[>ing down gently towards the 8. 8. E. enclosed by rugged and venerable mountains of dark granite, stern, naked, splintered peaks and. ridges of indescribable grandeur; and terminated at the distance of more than a mi le bgp. the I) old and awful front of Wore!) rising TOFjpMldiriiluTly. in/rowoing malesiyV frotji<t?rfer?e to fifteen hundred feet in height. It wasa's"cen'e ofsolemn grandeur whojjyipp^xpiTted, and Such as Wo had never scenf'and the associations which at the moment ruahett.u]}on our minds were 1 almost nverwh&pfng. As we went on, new points of interest were continually opening to our view.- ? On the left of Jloreha dpep and narrow valley runs uj>S. 8. E. between lofty walls -J of rock, as if ig continuation of the,8. E. , corner of the plain. In this valley,"at the distance of near a mile from*lhe plain, slainH'thc convent; and the deep verdure of its fruit trees and cypresses is sepn as the traveller approaches?an oasis of beatrly amid scenes bf the sternest desolation. At the IS. W. corner of'the pla$ the; rlitis also retreat, and form a recess or open place extending from the Westward for some distance, i'rotn called cj-lii ja, parallel to I l!.at in which the convent stands: and in it is tlie deserted convent cl-Arba'in, with a garden of olive and other fruit trees, not visible Irnin tue plain. A lliiril garden lies t at the mouth of el-Leja, and a fourth far-l liter west in t!ie iccpss just mentioned.? I 'I'llo whole plain is caUcd Watlv er-Kaliali: and the valley of the convent is known to the Arabs as Waddy Shc'cib?that is, the valley of Jelhro. 'i.. Still advancing, the front of Ilnreb rose like a w ill before us; and one can approach quite to the foot and touch the mount. Directly before its base is the deep bed of a torrent, by which, in the rainy season, the waters of el Leja and the mountains! around the recess pass down eastward across tue plain, forming' the commencement of Wady csh-S!ici|>li, which then issues by.an opening through the cliffs of the eastern mountain ? a line broad valley, affording the only easy access to the plain aiyl the covenant. As we crossed the plain, our feelings were strongly affected at finding here so unexpectedly a spot so entirely adapted to the script ural account of the giving of the law. No traveller has described this plain 1 nor even mentioned it, except in a slight and general manner; probably, because the most have reached the convent by another route. without passing over it; and ;>ci bans too bec.ausd neither the highest point ofj Sinai, (tow callcil Jabpl Mnsa ) nor the still loftier summit o'f'Sl. Catharine, is visible from nny part of it. The cxtretno difficjilty and even danger of the ascent, was well rewarded by the prospect that now lay before tis. The whole plain er-Rrihuh lav spread out beneath onr-feer, with the adjacent Wadvs anil mountain?, while W ady esh-Shfikh on the ri?jht,and the recess on llie left, both connected with and opening broadly from cr-Rahah, presented ;m arena which serves only to double that of the plain. Our conviction was strengthened that i *3 I here or on some one of tlie adjacent cliffs, I was tin? spot where the Lord "descended in fire," and proclaimed the law. Here lay the plain where the whole congregation might be assembled?here was the mount that could he approached and touched,-if not forbidden?and here the mountain brow, where alone the lightnings and the thick cloud would be visible, and the thunders and the voice of the trump be beard, when tbc Lord "came down in the sight of all the people upon M oilnl fiiiuai." I ji;Wegave ourselves tip to the impressions of the awful scene; and read, with a feeling that will never he forgotleu,..irlhe sublime account of the transaction and the commandments there promulgated, in the i original words, as recorded by the great Hebrew legislator. llubiusvrt's Bib.
