With a vigorous effort, he raised him from the rock, and faiilv hurled him over the precipice, but Miranda's hold was unbroken, and s-till closely grappled, both were precipitated from the summit into the river beneath. V.hen they rose to the surface, Miranda seized voting Mirabeau by the throat, and ascverv elT.rt to looen hi hands were vim. the young officer gave himself up as lost. His face became li id, and an indistinct sense of sutiering and strangulation wa all that remained to him, w hen ashout was heard there ;as a plunge in the water Miranda's fian.ds were instantly loosed, and with the first returning consciou-nc-s, Mirabeau found h?melf in a canoe, and in safety. A laree dog of the English mastiff kind, a uni versal foorite, for his sagacity and courage, had fdlowed the Siur Feirand from Furope, and was now near hi? faithful companion. From the time l.ia matrr had disappeared. Vol ta. for that w as bis ri.iTr.e, was no where to be seen hut the ?lrt object that met the rvc rf Mirabeau. wns the dead b.xly of MiiM-Kta iiisee startefl from their sockets, the red blood bubbling from hts lips, and his features ox--hibitii:g the livid, ghastly hue of death, in copscfjuence of the hold which the dog still kept on the neck of his victim. The canoe was rowed to the shore, and climbing 'he rocks with the little Maria, who had been rescued by the ar tire exertions of the voyager, in hi arms, t his great stapr.se he f:tind that his sister was still living. The wound was extensive, and bled profus'U.but was not (hu.gerons. She was rarri'-M ' v in r m ouier, ami me voyager in the t ut, where bet wound was dressed, raid -he w as soon a le to give n relation of the ! events which but for him w ould have ended so tragically . Scarcely had they reached the hut and dressed Josephinp, when the faithful Volta made hts appearance, and used every argument which brute "agacity could fciiggest, to induce Mirabeau to follow him. Conscious that the dog was not without his meaning, Josephine ad'.'.cd her entreaties and armed, Mirabeau and the ny ager followed him. At the distance of about a mdc- from the hut, the Sieur Ferrand was found, alive. anu evtuenny sensinie, itiougn speecniess. The bullet of the murderous Miranda had i i . .i mi- ii ' iinased Jirertlv through his neck, but b.an - pny had missed the large vessel? and with gre't care he wag removed to the but. . ,, nti c wmi ' nicy vn i p di-h nit nnrp able to bestow, ne reiuveieci with great rapidity. He often declared that his life wasowingto Vulta. During the twenty four hours that elapsed, the dog never left him. but outinued licking (he wound until the blood was staunched, when he left him to procure aid.

MISCELLAi-roUS. Murrinse lirokrrs In Genoa there are marriaj brokers, who have pocket books filled with the names of marriageable girls of different classes, wTth notes of their figures, personal attractions, fortunes, &x. These brokers go about endeavoring to arrange connexions; and when they succeed, they get a commission of two of three per cenl upon the portion. Marriage, at Genoa is quite a matter of calculation, generally settled by the parents or relations, who often draw up the contract before - p . lC3 evK oneanoincr; anu iv .0 uuij wnt-n every iwr.s else is ;;r-:ng--o, and a few days previous to the narrtage ceremony, that the future husband is introduced to his intended partner for life. Should he find fault with heT manners or appearance, he may break oil the match, on condition of defraying the brckage and other expenses incurred. March of Steam Xaugation. We have again three steamboat lines running to New York, and the Hpirl of rivalry has pushed their speed to the utmost. On Monday last, the passencers who left New York at 6 oVlock arrived at Chesnut street wharf at 20 minutes past three, making only nine hours and 20 minutes from city to city ! Ten years ago, and even less, this was believed impossible, and the individual who -hould have suggested it as practicable would have been hooted at as insane. We were laughed at by a very intelli gM.t gentleman lately, fur cxprcsnng a -erious opinion that ma very short time wc should have half day lines, which Aculd go the whole distance in seven hours. We think it mere than likely we shall live to see it, and turn the laugh upon our friend. It is not in tide water ho n ever, that the effect of steam navigation has been most felt. In the wt ern waters it has effected a tevoh-t o: I . .ju uit u oy joining in U, 2 tubtory ci !.-; ventior We are forcibly reminded td 'nesecnanges by an artic e from th Nishville Republican, which illustrates in a remarkable manner the picgivssivo improvement and prosperity of that four..

There are now ten steamboats, some cf them of the largest class, omP,0 Cti ir lhc Nashville trade. In 1809 there was but one dray in the town. I tiey have now sixty. Ariel. TURKISH BEAUTIEsT The face of a Turkish woman must! not be seen in public; if a :nan miei one in the streets unveiled, he turns his faee towards the waV, till she has passed : so strong U forcc 0f custom, that I one day p-aw t)C ,isdaraga turn his back uron V)i3 own daughter, a young giOi exquisite beauty, as she walked V;, veiled up the steps of the p.ropyloja ' these ladies, however,are not so squeamisn wnen oui ei ouuci vauuu, us i my self afterwards found. Copying inscriptions one afternoon in the ecu it yard of Lusierta, whilst that worthy signer was enjoying his siesta, I heard a tcntle knocking at the outer cate, I which I immediately opened, and discoveied to my great surprise, about 12 or 15 Turkish ladies, covered with long white mantles or veils, reaching from head to foot. Having let them in, they made me undcrslnnd, by signs, the. oh ject of their visit was to sec a fine clock, with musical e J'imcs, that Lord Llgin h id presented to the city of Athens, as if to recall the di?poiler of the l arthenon every nourlo remembrance.

Thio I had no sooner done than, vsith a shout joy, they seized the Trire, ar.d rung such a peal upon the chimes, that the Italian awoke from his i;ap, ar J rut.nir. o the spot in his gown and hio slippers began to chide them in so severe a jttrain, that the laughter immediately (cra - :eavsUence was restored, the veil r.rawn again over their fa-es. and in jtue siow and c!en-jn fctl ;,. vd-"-h frtey tney entered, the whole naitv move d eff the premises, leaving me in the state cf a person just awakened out of a most extraordinary dream. Hughs' (raids in. tiWO'i The News pa fer Trace.- It is said tnat 500,000 newspapers are issued every week from the various offices ir Gieat Britain alone and the fact is mentioned as aa evidence of the great intelligence of the community which could consume so large an amount of printed sheets in so short a time, .and with steady regularity. This number allows one paper to every 28 persons. We are disposed to think that if the de gree of intelligence existing among a community is to he estimated by tlc abundance cf its newspapers, this country, young as it i?, will bear.'awav the palm, even rem old England. There are not legs than 700 newspapers in the United States at present. Durirg the residential contest there were rr.oie probably 750 to 800 but many cf them having started up to nid a certain cause, naturally sunk into oblivicn Vihcn the object for which they had been estab h;hed had been attained; so that rOO i; ; fair estimate. The u crane num.kr issued every week hy each Editor is ceita.niy not less than GOO papers, Many circulate to ao extent unknovuito ta tlie public, and truly iielonUhir-.g. Ths i.ver.H.f Cost cf ihi city circulates a b;.ut Tl-OO; t.'ie Mechanic's Fie- 1 less 1500 to '2000 and some others, all weekly paper?, issue nearly as manv Then come the semi wetklv, fri-weekly, and the daily papers. Their piecite number we do not know, but it must he very great. Then coma the countiy papers: The Village Record, at Westchester, circulates near 200D, and the Republican only a few hundred less. Then the; county cf Lancaster, containing 90,000 inhabitants, corsumes a vast amount of periodical papers. It is said thai an anti-masoidc gazette, printed in Lancaster, ahhr,1 but recent ly established, issues papers to C00O subscribers. Tlie Intelligencer, at Doylestown, Bucks county, prints 1200 papers the Democrat "lOOO, and ;i Geiman paper 1100. A hundred other cases of extensive circulation in this state might be mentioned. In New Yoik, tlie Christian Advocate i-sucs 2j, 000 copies wceiciy! The Mirror, 100O the Spectator 1500 tri-weekly, equa to 4500 weekly two to cnii ot those in Philadelphia, and the matter in tberr: isalterwards reprinted into tr;-weekiv. semi-weekly, and weekly papers, atjei disinnuted to subscribers all over th-. Union in immense quantities. Thci: there arc the papers in all oilier of the Atiautic cities. I he great circulalio:: of these very far overbabnees iho limned ealc of seme of the country napeio. Tle population of Great Britain, ex clusive of Ireland, is estimated at ahoi'.t. 14,000,000 therefore, 500,000 narers distributed weekly, gives one ta everv 28 person?. Now , if there r.ra "TOO pr.. persin this country, each isuin" fOO sheets weekly, the total circulation i3 500,000. This dr.idcd ito 10,000OOOjithe number cf our inhahitants. givei nearly one rnper to every eleven persons. Th'4? it would appear that, although th; firs: peiiodical of an; kind ever printed in this country w.t -commerced only in lTOi, r.t a timt. when Buvh publications were common in England , yet the appetite for read ir.g wbjchex':3ts here, r.nd which is a ecesaary consequence of intelligence, has enabled u3 greatly to ouCtnp ti n mother country. It may he ob&ttved, however, that the newspaper trade in the two hemispheres is conduc ted in . ruannerentirely different from eac h other.
