AN ARAB TALE. My Turkish friend Hyder Ali called on me the other day in London. Our conversation could not fail "to turn upon the war and the present condition of the Crimean campaign. He was pretty well acquainted with the Roebuck Committee, and all the incidents of the expedition ; though lie had never read the papers he was aware of the crisis of the Turkish Empire, and of all the dangers of its present transitory state ; nor did he seem to be blinded as regards the position of the Allies. I pressed him to tell me openly his opinions about recent events, which he did as follows : " Allow me to tell you an old tale which I read in our books, and of which I am always reminded whenever I think of the allied army in the Crimea. 'You know,' he continued, 'that Allah gave power to the great King and Prophet Suleiman (Solomon) over all living creatures on earth ; that he taught him to understand the language of the birds in the air, and of the animals creeping on the earth. One day Suleiman saw a splendid rainbow floating in the skies, and the fancy took him to see the wonders of Allah closely, and to dwell on the arch of the rainbow. He therefore summoned the birds of the air and said to them, 'Carry me to the rainbow, that I may dwell on it.' And the birds alighted upon the earth and bent their wings together, so as to form a boat, and Suleiman sat down upon their wings, and those rose and flew with the utmost rapidity, but still it took three weeks before they reached the rainbow. When Suleiman had rested himself on the brilliant rays, he said ; 'I desire to know which is the point on earth over which I am now seated. Which of nil the birds lias the clearest sight to look down and to tell me where we are ?' And the vulture Ak-Baba, that is to say the white fulher, said: 'Sultan, my sight reaches furthest.' 'Then look down,' said the King, ' and tell me where we are, and what also thou seest.' Ak-Baba looked down and spake: 'We are soaring just above Babylon, close to the principal gate of the town; I see a field in which the harvesters have left five grains of wheat, and two sparrows are fighting for the five grains. And Suleiman praised Allah that he had created the vulture and endowed him with such farsightedness. And the Sultan remained a few weeks on the rainbow; and one (lav he said -'I desire to know what has happened on earth since I left it?' 'Which is the bird with the swiftest flight that he may go down and look about?' And the white father came again and spake: 'I am the swiftest of all the birds.' 'And how much time will it require for thee to go down and to return again?' asked Suleiman. 'Twenty-four hours, Sultan,, was the answer, 'ten to fly down, ten to return, and four to look about.' 'Go, then, in the name of Allah,' said the Sultan, and Ak-Baba went. But the twenty-four hours passed and lie was not yet back. And the third day dawned; Suleiman shook his head, and on the fourth he grew angry and said: 'Ak-Baba is a braggart.' At last, on the fifth day, the white father returned, but how did he look? His wings were pulled to pieces, his body bleeding, his claws blunted. 'What is the matter with thee?' asked Suleiman; 'and why didst thou come four days later than thou promised?' 'Oh, Sultan,' Ak-Baba complained, 'I met with an accident. When, after my flight of ten hours, I arrived on earth, I. felt hungry and looked about for food, in order to strengthen myself for the remainder of my enterprise; and I saw a garden with plentiful fruit in it, and when I came into it a large iron trap caught me and broke my feathers and clipped my claws. It was in vain to struggle against the iron; I could not free myself. At last the gardener came and exulted when he saw me caught, and took me out of the trap, and when I beat him with my 'wings his laborers assisted him, and they carried me into the house and. shut me up in a close room. There I sat a prisoner; the door was fastened, the wall thick, the window barred. At last I discovered the flues of the chimney, and forced my way through it, and come now to tell you my misfortune. I could but slowly reach your lofty seat, soaring with wounded wings.' "Thus spake Ak-Baba, the vulture, and Suleiman gravely and thoughtfully shook his head, and said, 'Mash Allah ! God is great ! Miracles everywhere ! Miracles at every moment ! White father, from here, at three weeks' distance from the earth, thou hast seen the town of Babylon and its gate, and close to it the field, and on the field the two little sparrows, and by -them the five grains of wheat about which they quarreled, and thou hast not seen the large iron trap in the garden when thou wert close by 1 Indeed, the farsightedness of him who is doomed to mishap is turned into blindness'.' " Here Hyder Ali stopped, and shook his head slowly and thoughtfully in the same way as Suleiman may have done. " Well, said I, "Friend Hyder Ali, how am I to connect your excellent tale with the present war?" .,- . "You are a Frank," said he, "and you do not see it. I will explain it to you. The French and English are used to discover the. most re-J mote stars and to determine their orbits ; thev have counted the drops of blood in the body of the frog; they have weighed , the destinies of Turkey and Russia as in a balance; but the large trap called Sevastopol they seem not to have remarked." X. Y. Tribune. - A Case of Sharp Practice. The Chicago Democrat tells the following story of . a well known member of the Erie county Bar, of which we may say, with the Italians, that, "if it is not true it is well imagined." The gentleman alluded to can well afford to have the story told upon him, now: "We have read of many instances of sharp practice on the part of 'gentlemen of the Bar" but none goes ahead of one we heard related the other day. When J. L. C s, now a prominent member of the profession in Western New York, first went to Lockport, he had u case involving the title or possession of a house and lot. When ho came into Court he found that liis whole dependance was on the testimony of the tenant who occupied the house one Solomon Green. Green was called to the stand. The opposite counsel objected to him. The objection was argued and sustained, and C. was apparently floored. A bright idea struck him, however. He beckoned to his clerk, Lamonte, who is also now a prominent member of the Bar

of Western New York. He came. C. whispered in his car a few momehts; when he and Green were seen to leave the court room together. Now for the next move. Time must be killed. C. commenced a speech. He spoke on. The court frowned; the opposing counsel objected; the jury became indignant and the audience impatient. All agreed that C. was making a fool of himself. An hour passed. Ever and anon the opposite counsel would pop up and object to his proceeding farther. C. argued the points, which were invariably decided against him. The court house door opens. Lamonte and Green enter. C. with well expressed indignation at being constantly overruled, took his seat. The Court inquires: 'Have you aDy other witnesses to offer, Mr. C?' 'Yes, sir.' Solomon Green, was called up. Up jumps the opposite counsel. 'May it please the Court, this is the witness that has just been rejected. It is almost a contempt to bring him on the stand again. Mr. C. 'Never mind.' Mr. Green, do you reside in that house?' 'No, sir, I have just removed!' A shout from the Bar and the audience rewarded the clever ruse of the counsellor. The disqualification of his witness has been removed, he gained his case, and, it is recorded, the business of his office doubled in three months thereafter.

From the New York Times of Aug. 11. Letter from L. Kossuth. Yesterday we had another curious performance in Parliament. The Sebastopol Committee having brought up its report, it was of course natural to expect that the House will pronounce yea or no, on the report of a Committee the mere appointment of which was enough to break down the Aberdeen Administration. Mr. Roebuck, in his capacity of Chairman of the Committee, moved a vote of censure; somebody else moved a vote of approbation; and what did the Government? Why, it consented to a shuffle the most disgraceful that could be imagined under similar circumstances, viz: to avoid the decision by the previous question; the majority of the House of course was but too glad to escape the necessity of either offending tlie government orthe nation; so, after all the fuss about the Sebastopol inquiry, the matter ended in smoke. The House decided that it will decide nothing. In the course of the debates, Mr. Bright, quoting my predictions about the Crimea campaign, did me the honor to say, that "if one of the old prophets had arisen, speaking under the direct inspiration of Heaven, he could not more exactly have pointed out things to occur." I allude to this without vanity; I disclaim the title of a prophet; I claim but credit for plain common sense, coupled with a little knowledge of history, the "light of truth lux ven'tatis," as Cicero calls it. A combination of these two elements of rensonin; is such a sure guide to the myste ries of coining events that I dare confidently assert the time is sure to come when my predictions about the dangers impending on the United States of America, from their social diseases, from the cancer gnawing on their vitality, and from that which is the result of this, their pas sive indifference to the condition of principles in the general aspect of the world, will equally prove literally true. .' However this may be, the English Ministry keeps its seat. That is to say in other words: Lord John is gone; expediency remains. With expediency no issue whatever is out of question. The war is interminable. The difficulties increasing in geometrical proportions. England has money, but no soldiers. Turkey has neither money nor soldiers; all gone in vain. France has just completed the third loan the three make one and a half thousand millions, besides the ordinary revenues, all spentin aboutjeighteen months. (The yearly , budget of Napoleon the great, never in his great wars exceeded six hundred and fifty millions.) The Government has fixed the bounty for the reengagement of veteran soldiers at. 1,000 francs it did not answer; you may expect to hear by the next steamer of an imperial decree fixing the bounty at 3,000 francs. Huts are to be soon embarked at Marseilles for a second winter in the Crimea. The Austrian alliance is definitively gone her neutrality,, as they call it, accepted. In the meanwhile, (oh! disgrace and infamy,) Austria is permitted to frame the institutions, and regulate the Government of the subjects of the Sultan in Moldo-Walachia, (it has all the appearance of a long staying there, you see,) and the Czar, manifestly with the view of a long war, and with the view of making security doubly sure, begins coqueting with the Polish nationality. The mixed commission, composed chiefly of Russians, to which everything had to be submitted, and upon which the Poles had looked with such a profound haired, has been abolished, and a Committee of native Poles put in its stead. The Polish language has been reinstalled in the administration; tribunals, and public education, and two univer sities long suppressed, have been revived, with the express view, as they say, of promoting the culture ot the Polish language. In a word, the St. Petersburg Cabinet intends to complete, by half-and-half concessions, that paralysis of the Polish nation to which tiie folly and cowardice of the Western Governments has doomed that great people, and themselves, in this war together with her. This war will be a long one, and pass through phases' such a no human intellect could foretell. From Spain, on the other hand, you may soon hear of a Dictatorship formally inaugurated. I don't think Espartero will be the man more likely O'DonnclJ, with Navaez looming in the future. How a Dictatorship can be made to ree with a Queen? that is more than I can tell but l think. Let the caldron boil; the end is not yet by and by. A fine morning may alter the aspect of many a thin". And America? what of America? Why. it has its Know-Nothings of Pro-Slavery and AntiSlavery character, and has its slavery.

Cholera. The following extract from the letter of a clergyman, to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, presents a very simple and, he says, effectual preventive of cholera, as well as a remedy of great power: "The preventive is simple: a teaspoon full of powdered charcoal taken three or., four times a week, in a cup of coffee, or other vehicle, in the morning. ' "When attacked 'with the cholera, a mixture of, .an ounce of charcoal, an ounce of laudanum, and an ounce of brandy or other spirits, may be given as follows after being well shaken a teaspoonful every five minutes. In half an hour I have known this effectually relieve and stay the disease. As the patient becomes better, the mixture may be given at longer intervals. I have known a patient in the blue stare and collapsed, perfectly recovered in a few hours. "Ihe charcoal was tried as a preventive on a large plantation in the Mauritius, and not a single individual out of ei"ht hundred was attack ed with cholera."
