Ftom the N. V. V anne . PUMPKIN BREAD Mn. Fleet Sir: As you have in some of your former numbers furnished us with direct iors for making rice bread, corn puddinz, tVr. 1 presume yon will not U'kf- it amiss, if 1 call the attention of your reader? to thr value of the pumkiiu I pve'utne there h vol a veritable en the face of (ho earth, more easily raised or that is more productive; when it is considered that they will grow among corn, potatoes, or any waste ground, and that the seed of one pumpkin will produce cart-loads of tiuit. In the fall of lSk29, 1 obtained the seed of a very superior pumkin, part of which I planted in the latter end of June following, on ground which 1 had raised two early crops of vegetables from, and ccmpaih cl v of little value to me at that season cf the year. 1 began to gather some of the frnit in October; it being extraordinary fine, I was very anxious to save every grain of the seed, but the difficulty vas,"hov to dispose of the flesh or fruit. The common method crmakirg it up into pies, would have hem (oo troublesome and expensive, and I thought them too good to feed swine with, 1 first gave some to my friends, on condition that they would save the seed, but they did not use them up fast enough; at length my wife tried experiments, to work them up into bread, cakes, pies, puddings, fec. and -w-as not long before we discovered that they could be used sc as to answ er every purpose as lndiaji meal, and that our friend.? and family considered it preferable to any thing of the kind, made in the ordinary way. ,The pumpkin is first deprived of the rind, and afterwards cut up into slices, and boil jd,whensoft enough, itisstrained in a colander, and mashed up very fine; in this state it may be used up into pies, or mixed with llour for pudding, cakes, Arc. If it be intended for bread, it may be n;ados up with w heaten llour, in the proportion ot one-third to half. The spunge must be first set in the ordinnry way, with yest in flour, and the pumpkin w orked in as it begins to rise. My wife's rule is, to use pumpkin enough to bring the dough to a proper degtee of soilness, without water. Care should be taken that the pumpkin is not too hot to scald the leaven. It requires more baking than bread made entirely of wheat. I am aware that pumpkin bread is nothing new, but I am informed that the far mors in the country u.e Indian meal with the pumpkin, instead of vvheaten flour, which nukes it more like pudding than bread. These farmers that are in the habit of making their bread with wheat and Indian, may find a market for meal more easily than for pumpkins, and if they use tlicic up in to bread, precisely in the same manner as they do their meal, 1 am persuaded they will find it very 'wholesome and palatable bread. Yours, respectfully, T. BltlDGEMAN. New-York, Nov. 31. LS3I. Remaiiks. We have eaten of Mr. Bs punpkiu bread, -ami find it very (dcasant and' superior. Editor Am. Wmer. . Pfinucious AnvEXTimR. The annals of the north are filled with accounts of the most perilous and fatal conflictswith the polar' bear. - The first and one of the most t ragical . was sustained by Barenzt and .Ileemskerke, in 159G, during their voyage for the discovery of the northeast passageHaving anchored at an island ttear the strait of Waygatz two of the ' sailors landed and were walking oij shore, when one of them felt himself closely hugged from behing. Thirdiing this a frolic of one of his companion?, he called out in a corresponding tone "Who's there? Pray. stand ortv' His Comrade looked, and screamed out. "A

bear! a bear!' then running to the ship, alarmed the crew with loudcries. The sailors ran to the spot, armed with pikesand muskets. Onlheir approach ike bear very coolly (juittcd the mangled corpse, spraf'g upon another sailor carried him otf, and plunged his teeth into his body, began drinking his blood at long draughts. Hereupon the w hole of that crew, struck with terror, turned their backs, rind iled precipitately to the ship. On arriving there they began to look at each other unable to feelmnch satisfaction with their own powers. Three thm stood forth, undertaking to avenge the fate of their countrymen; and to sccur form the the rites of burial. They advanced, and fired at so respectful a distance that all missed The purser then courageously proceeded in front of his companions, and taking a close aim, pierced the monster's skull immediately below the eye. The bear, however, merely lifted his head, and advanced upon them, holding still in his mouth the victim whom he was devouring; but seeing him soon stagger, the three rushed on ftith sabar and bayonet, and soon despatched him. They collected and bestowed decent sepulture on the mangled limbs of their comrades, while the skin of the animal, fourteen feet long, became the prise, of the sailor who lired the successful shot.

-o:: CHRISTMAS. The feast of Christ ,9 birth, Was, according to many critics, not celebrated in the first centuries of the Christian church as the Christian usage, in general, was, to celebrate the death of remarkable persons rather than their birth. The death of the martyr Stephen, and the massacre of the innocents at Bethlehcm,had been already long celebrated, when perhaps in opposition to (he doctrino'of the Manicheans respecting the birth of the sav our s feast was established, in memory of this event, in the llh century, in the 5th century, the Western church orderd it to be celebrated br ever on the day of the old Roman feast of the birth of Sol, on the 2'oth of December, though no information respecting the day of Christ's birth existed, in the East Christmas was celebrated on liie lllhof January From the gospel of St. Luke,it w as know n that Christ was born during the night and therefore divine servic was performed in the night of Dec. 21 from which circumstance Christmas iscallcd inCerman,Veihnachten, i, e. Holy or Consecrated Night. The feasts ot the martyr Stephen, and the evangelist John were united with it and a feast of three days' continuance was thus formed '. in the ecclesiastical year, this festival gives nam- to a period extending from the first Sunday of Advent to the feast of Epiphany, Jan. 0. Some say that Christmas, has always been celebrated in the Church. In the Catholic church, three masses are per-formed-one at midnight; one at daybreak, and one in the morning. In the G reek and Roman churches, the managers, the holy family. &c..,are sometimes rcprcseted at large Some convents in Rome chiefly the Franciscans, are famous for attracting many people by. 6uch exhibitions. The churchof England celebrates this feast as they do the great body of European Protestants. In the United States it is little regarded, except by the Eniscop alians. The custom of making presents on christmas eve is derived from an old heathen usage.practised at the feasts of the birth, of Sol, or inGcrmany, on the occasion of some feast pecular to the country (at least the Ruprccht setmcs to have such an origin: but it has became consecrated by ages, and contributes a great deal to make this festival an interesting event to families. In the north of Germany, this custom prevails most, prevalihg all the classes and relatiohs!'ot society. In some German churches sirmons are dclived on Christmaseve fbr the benefit of children who attend, carrying each a little taper, In theCatholic church the biiicium pastorum is sung, in which a chorus of children respond to the' priest.-Amer-Encyclopedia. A. (FRANCE. A bill for the bahishfrient of Charles X his descendants and their consorts, passed the Chamber bfdenuties by a majority, of 181. This Ttill also compel tlicm to sell all property they may

possess in France, reservcing all the rights of creditors of the family. This proceeding is characterized by the Gazette de France as a law of excepion, for which no sanction is to be found in the new charter and that paper argues that if w ith regard to these Bourbons that charter jmay be violatcd.it may be equally violated in regard to any other Frenchmen.

AFFAIRS AT LYONS. His Roy al Iliirlvticss the Duke of Orleans, and Marshal Soult, the Minister ot War, entered Lyons Dec. od, amidst the acclamations of the populace. The disarming of the workmen was eifectcd w ith the greatest tranquility. . On the evening before the entry, a proclamation was posted up about the city, signed by the Marshall, and concluded as follows: "No more anarchy! submission to the laws! obedience to the government of .the King! and His Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans will enter your walls." Yery various riots have taken place in Ireland, in pursuance .of the exist ing determination to resist the payment oftythes. At Waterfoid, as will be seon by the details given below, there was a battle between the Police and an assemblage of five or six thousand nconle. armed with pitchforks and bludgeons. It is stated that 19 of the Police were killed. RUSSIA AND POLAND. Proclamation of the Emperor of Russia, We, Nicholas I., by grace of Gon, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Rus ans, King of Poland, &c. &c. ; . , Our preceding manifestations .and proclamations have 'sufficiently .proved to our faithful subjects how painful it was be obliged to employ arras ' to quell the. msurrectpn wUich, had broken out in our kingdom of Poland Deeply .atlccted by the 'innumerable evils to which that country was given up, we wished to employ only the means of persuasion to recall our misguided subjets to their duty; but our voice was not heard, and Poland '.will owe the return of peace and legal order only to the victorious arms of the empire to which its fate isiudissolubly united. We shall however, distinguish the great majority of those who were caried beyond the bounds of their duty from the evil minded, who deceived by the melancholly illusion, and dreaming of an impowikle itate of things, had

recourse to calumny and treachery to

attain their object. They alone are? , answerable for the .violation of the most solemn oaths; for the ruin of their country, which has flourished ever since its union with Russia; for tho blood shed in the civil war; for the in surrection in the Imperial provinces; and lastly, for the burden which , has been laid upon Russia. Their punish ment, commensurate with their crimes, isfbed by the laws; but our justice and oui clemency shall allay thefear9 of the weak, and of those who were on ly misled. To end their apprehension once for all, and make them positively acquainted v. ltn our will, wc have or dained as follows: 1. A complete and unconditional amnesty is granted to all those of out subject in the kiDgdom of Poland who have returned to their obedience. None of those included in this amnesty shall owe or at any future time'ber condemned or prosecuted for the actions or political opinions done or expressed during the whole time ot the insurrection. 2. The following are excepted; 1. The authors of the bloody - insurrectionof the 29th November, 1P30; those who on that night repaired tc the Belvedere Palace w ith a view Ao take the life of our beloved brotherthe deceased Cesarowilsch; the mur derers of the Generals and of the Russian and Pqlish officers. 2. The authors of the horrors which occurred in Warsaw onthel5th of August last. 3. Those who since the 25th of January, have at different times been concerned as chiefs or members of tho Govermcnt illegally established in the kingdom of Poland, and who have not sent in their submsssion previously to the 13th of September, as well as those who after the subjection of Warsaw,' formed an illegal goYcrment at Zakreczyn, and thereby forfeited all claim to our mercy. 1- The members of the Diet who propose or support the act of disposition of the 25th January. 5. The officers belonging to the corps of Romanino, Rozyck, Kaminski, and Bybinski. G. The subject of the western governments who may have participated in the Polish insurrection. PORTUGAL. Lisbon dates are to the . 1 9th Nov inclusive. Though there is no confirmation of the oral report, brought by tiie passenger in the Columbia, who heard it in London on the evening of the 30th, that Don Miguel had fled, and there was general disturbance in his kingdom, there ii nothing incompa-, tible with such a state of affairs, in the extracts published in the London papers. The Lisbon Gazette contains two official notices, one directed against the property aud the other against the lived of the wretched persons who arc still bowed down by the tyranny of Don Miguel and his brigands. Under the tame of a loan he has determined to plunder the merchants and the wealthier inhabitants of Lisbon, Oporto, Coimbra, and Figura, of 1,200 centos of reis (about 210,000 pounds sterling.) Commissioners are appointed to rate the property of those individuals, and to regulate the proportion into which each is to be plundered. Not satisfied with the spoila-. tions and fearing thc-n that the appc'titeof his blood hounds might become sated,' he has issued a proclamation, offering rewards lor information respecting conspiracies and alLattcmpts to seduce soldiers from their affectionate allegiance to his Majesty. These rewards are to be paid instantlyj and their amount is to depend upon the. importance bf the 'information commUfti-' catcd,or,in other words, upon the length to' which the iuformant's conscience can be stretched.
