El Valle de Josafat llamado tambicn en la •escritura valle del rey, valle de Mclquisedec, ote, se halla próximo y en la parte oriental de Jerusalen, eatendiendo.se del Norte al medio dia, ea decir, entre el monte de los Olivos y el de Marin. Por el centro de dicho valle pasa cl torrente de Cedrón, que se seca en algunas apopas del año, y presenta el agua rojiza en loa tiempos de Ilubia. Entre este famoso valle euya tradición católica es bien conocida de nuestros lectores, fue .donde el rey de Sudouia buscó a Abraham para felicitarlo por su victoria alcanzada sobre los cinco reyes, y tomó luego el titulo do Josafat, porque el rey de este nombre lo eligió para au ■sepultura. El valle de Josafat parece haber hervido siempre de cementerio al pueblo de Je- rusalen, pues so encuentran en el monumentos de low tiempos mas antiguos y de los mas mo darnos. Los judíos esparcidos en toda la au - perlicie de ia tierra hacen lo posible por ir a depositar sus cenizas al lado de sus padres. Los .cedros que hizo plantar alli Salomon, la sombra del templo que cubi ia parto del vallo, el torentc que lo atravesaba, los cánticos dc David y las lamentaciones de Jeremías quo resonaron en aquel paraje, todo contribuía a dar aquel terreno el aspecto triste y pacifico de las tumlaa. .Jesucristo después lo consagró de nuevo a los dolores, empezando allí su pasión, y derramando para lavar nnostras culpas las lagrimas que habia vertido David para espiar sus propios errores. Focos nombres hay en oí mundo que inspiren a la vez pensamientos tan halagüeños y terribles como el misterioso valle de Josafat, donde segun ol profecía Joel deben presentarse un din todos los hombres ante et juez inexorable : ': Congregabo omnos gentes, et deducán •eaa in vallen Jusaphat et disceptu.be cum eis ibi." Natural es, dice el padre Nan, que el honor de Jesucristo sea reparado públicamente en el sitio donde ha sufrido tantas afrentas, y que el pronuncie justamente una sentencia contra los hombres que le crucificaron injustamente. El aspecto del valle do Josafat, ya lo hemos dicho, es triste; su lalo occidental es una mon taña de greda que sostiene los muros góticos de la ciudad desde oondo se ve Jerosalen : su parte oriental oonüna con el monto de los Oi vos, y con la llamada del Escándalo, mons O- ffensíonis, nombre que ee la dio recordando la idolatría de Salomon. Estas dos mon -'ao que están casi tocándose, presentan igualmente un color rojo y sombrío, y tienen algunas viñas, algunos olivos salvajes, capillas oratorios y mezquitas arruinadas. En el fondü del valle ■e descubre un puente de un solo ojo, arrojando sobre el Cedrón. Las losas del coman teño de losjudios están esparcidas al pie déla montaña del Escándalo, bajo la población árabe da Silvé, siendo difieil distinguir las tapias do esta villa dc los sepulcros de quo se encuentran Codeadas, Tres antiguos monumentos, el do Absalon, el de Josafat y el de Zacarías se ostentan en aquel campo de destrucción. Ala tristeza de Jeru- «alen de donde no se levanta ninguna corriente de humo, ni sale ningún ruido, a la soledad de las montanas, donde rara vsz so ve alma vivien te, al desorden de las tumbas me.,io abiertas y destrozadas hay que agregar otras mil cosas del mismo caráetrr quo todas contribuyen a inspirar pensamientos lúgubres, como si la trómpela del juicio sé hubiera hecho oir ya comvoeando a los muertos al valle de Josafat. Desde que Chatcaubriad escribió esta fiel y magnifica descripción, ningún cambio se ha verificado en aquel desolado lugar; siempre se vo t¿l mismo terreno árido, ¡a misma vegetación tostada; solo algunos millares de losas se han aradido a los millones que ya cub cementerio israelita. Laa tumbas de Absalon, de Josafat y do Za carias son monumentos del bajo imperio romano, Exjgenciadkmoc-ratica. —Un nobío chasque ado, buen muchachoy du cuustiiiiibres sencillas, nos ba comunicado una profunda esquela que le ba dirijido una Miss de alto copete residente en esta ciudad Hacemos de ella (de la esquela) una traducción litera!, para que-se vea hasta donde ae van haciendo exigentes ciertas niñas de lo que aquí se ¡lama la "aristocracia del bacalao" (cod fish aristocracy); "Carlos: .Siento haber correspondido ni nmor qua V. me lia declarado ; creo que es V. indigno de él.

Paris se vuelve tan auperstieiuso como lo fué cuendo as llamaba Luteeía. Cuando reflexiono en la fiebre ma négtica y nigromántica que agita y transtorna Paris en este instante me represento a la hermosa reina Margarita, a la altiva Catalina de Aíédicis, a la rubia duquesa de Nevera; y a todas la-i graciosas y encantadoras de aquel tiem po corriendo a casa di loa astrólogos en busca de talismanes do amor, de poder y de gloria. j Ah ! si un astrólogo do entóneos se hubiese atrevido a publicar que un lápiz lijo en una ta bli donde ponen la mano dos personas, obtenía de ¡os espíritus que escribieran ellos mismos su nombre y las respuestas a las preguntas que les dirijan, habría sido quemado'inmediata- mente en la plaza de Greve ó eu el patio de !a 3 or ban a.

Y el espiritu responde : Estoy celoso, porque to amé, y te casaste a pesar mío. Seria imposible trasladar todos los prodigios que están haciendo las mesas. Los eruditos pretenden que este asunto de las mesas giratorias no es cosa nueva. Hace dos mil anca que esta maravilla se conocía en liorna, pues Tertuliano escribe en sus cartas : " Las mesas han tomado la costumbre de pronosticar el porvenir.'' Mace cuarenta años el obispo de Auxerra prohibió este ejercicio de de hacer hablar a las mesas. Pero voy a terminar con otra anécdocta bastante curiosa sobre el asunto. Últimamente un millonario con?oca en eu casa a una reunion de amigos ; se acerco a una mesa que disfruta de su confianza, y al cabo de un cuarto de ejercicio exclama : Mesa., i quién eres 1 Un esríritu puro.

El lord contestó por medio de su secretario, y en vez de una ledcion sobre los designios de la Providencia, regaló al clero escocés un enrayo sobre el a.seo persona!, sobre ¡a impureza de la atmosfera, y sobre lita leyes de la naturaleza. Les sugirió, como la mejor medida que el pueblo de Escocia pudiera adoptar para atajar los progresos del cólern. que empleasen el período que ba de transcurrir entre la estación actual y la de la próxima primavera en escogitar y poner en práctica loa medios necesarios para que en todos aquellos barrio* dc sus ciudades y pueblos que están habitados por las clases mas menesterosas y que por la naluraleza de las cosas necesitan purificarse y mejorarse, se Lagan desaparecer aquellas causas y fuentes de contagio, que sí Itubienm de seguir existiendo, producirían ne eesar¡ai.H.nte la peste y causarían numerosas muertes, a pesar de las oraciones y ayunos de una nación unida pero ¡gnuctiva. Cuando el hombre lia hecho ¡o posible per su propia salud entonces puede invocar las bendiciones del cielo para obtener el mejor resulta lo de sus esfuerzos. Este lenguaje del lord Paln.erston causó mucha sensación cn los miembros del clero; fué calificado de " indigno dc un gobierno y de un gobernante de cristianos." y se decidió no ar- -bivar el documento, sino dejarlo entre los cs- itos roíngados.

WAB.*VeTON, Jan. 3, 1854. We are enabled tt» pfftS, upon ample authority, that a treaty with Mexico lias been ne- godsted by General Gudsden, and is now before the President, a»d w(ll probably soon be com- municnted to the Senaic. The first article of %$e treaty in question provides that Mexico alUll give to the United States such R bonudarVíis will enable us to protect Mexico from Lljeincursions of tlie frontier Indiana. The second article-provides for aright of way for a railroad to the Pacific, ' aa a means' —to quote the language of tho treaty—'of forming a commercial barrier against the attacks of the Indians.1 The third article provides for an abrogation of tbe eleventh section! of tha treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ¿Hf^tisoa the defence of the frontier in '-.: .utiivUtm of money given, wiiicn is to be ¡n full of all past depreciations The fourth article provide,-- for the specific enforcement of the Teliuautepee right of way The fife .li contains an alternative proposition to the second article to the effect that .Mexico shall cede to the United States a boundary which will include the route known in Lieut. Parke's map as •' Lieutenant Colonel Cooke's wagon road,'' extending nearly to the thirty first parallel, and going due west, so as to give us a large accession of territory, and taking in the whole of the peninsula of Lower Califor pia, including Sonora, upon the payment by the United States to Mexico of fifty millions of dollars. Although this treaty is one of vast importance to both countries, and highly beneficial to tho United States, the President, it is said, is fearful of submitting it to the Senate, be cause of the fifty million clause. What will become of the nerves of our economists when they discover the cxisience ofa plan by which not only all the ' surplus revenue"' will be swallowed up, but a debt also eootractedí VVithoiit pretending at tliis time to pass upon the particular merits of tlie treaty in question, we must say we regard the fifty miUioc-í, un der the circumstunces, an a mere bagatelle. The South would get a couple of States —one immediately, and one in prospective—hy it. The abolitionists and free Boilers would have an oppoitunity of demonstrating haw thoroughly satisfied they are with the settlement cf 1850. and the Baltimore platform of L852. We would cancel tlie debt which we now un questionably owe Mexico under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and we would secureagood southern route to the Pacific. We regard the treaty as the most Important State paper which has transpired since the treaty of peace. You may depend upon the accuracy of the Information. Some little feel ing has been created on the part of General Gadsden, our Minister to Mexico, in consequence of the State Denarthnent here having sent a sort of secret agent to the city of Mexico, so as to advise President l i .'ice of ad the facts and intrigues which it was supposed G'eneral Gadsden might not get at. The General however, it is reported, got, wind of the movements of the secret envoy, a-".d made a formal complaint to the President in consequence. The Circassian Cava: rv.—TheCircassions wlio have been fighting against Russia inde peudently of Turkey, and who have so long set at defiance the whole power of the autocrat have, within a short time, been taken into the Turkish Army. A description of this remarkable cavalry may, therefore, be interesting at this time, as they are, probably, to plav a con- sp:cous part in the present war betweer. Turkey and Russia. It is by a Prussian officer, who seems familiar with them and their mode of warfare. He says they wear a pointe 1 steel helmet with n long horse-tail oendi; g from it. A net of steel work hangs down from the lower part ofthe helmet, protects the fi ont and nape of the neck, and ia koped together under ¡he chin, underneath a short vest, cut in the Polish fashion, lie is clad in a species of coat of mail, consisting of small bright rings of steel intervened. His arms from the wrist to t-he elbow, and his legs, from the front of the shin bone to the knee, are g-uarded by thin plates of steel. He also wears clo-^e pantaloons and laced boots. Two long turkish pistols, as well as a poignard, are stuck iuto his girdle. He has a leather strap, with a noose, like a Mex Ícan lasso, hanging at his side, whieh he throws with great dexterity over the head of his enemy. A Turkish sabre and a long Turk ieh musket are slung behind his back, and two cartridge holders across liis breast. The skill with which the Circassians use thei weapons is really beyond belief. He states that he has seen them repeatedly fire at a piece of card lying in the ground, at full speed, with out ever missing. They will pick up a piece of money from the ground while executing a charge, by bending themselves round bel-nw the horse's belly, and aft. r seizing the piece, suddenly throw themselves into the saddle. They form the choicest body of cavalry in the Turkish service, and when charging, they attack their oppnneuls with a sabre in each hand, pian aging the reins with their moulh. They will spring out of tliei. saddles, take aim and fire from behind their horses, then jump into their saddles again, wheel round and re load their guns as they retreat in full career. They are perfect madmen in the attack, and few troops c'nid withstand the utter recklessness of danger they evince, "Yankee Sullivan1, did not eseape from the custody of the officers who were taking bim to Boston but was safely lodged in jail. He is more likely to get his deserts in the "land of steady habits," than he wculd be of recieving proper punishment in New York. It is said that Mrs. Gaines has received testimony whieh will establish the marriage of her mo tin r with Daniel Clarke, and ensure the success of her suit. An Expensive Cow.—Col. Thorn, of Washington Hollow, Dutchess county, New York, according to the New York 'Tribune, lately imported a valuablo Durham liuli, and other stock; which where ¿selected, without iegard to cost, of the best to be found in England. The bull ia stated to have cost five thousand dollars, liy the Washington, on her last trip, he re ceived a cow, of the same stock as the bull, for which we are told he paid three thousand dollars, besides expense-? ofher passage, Thia is probably the highest priced cow ever imported, ¡she waa accompanied hy a two months old calf, which cost ¿$750. Wonderful Works of tlie Creator. The mariner who first crossed the central Atlantic in search of it new world was astonished when, oo the 19th of September, 1492, he found himself in the middle of that sea weed —the sea-weed meadow of Oveido—the Sara go-jsa sea which, with a varying breadth of 100 to S00 miles, stretches over twenty five dc grees of latitude, covering 260,000 square miles in su'Tace like one huge filiating garden, in which countless myriads of minute unimals fmd f-.i.i-i and shelter Now< it is the eddy of the numerous sea rivers whieh collect in one spot, and the cold water of the Northern Atlantic mixing with the warm streams of the western and southern currents, which produce the temperature most fitted to promote this amaziiiL' development of vegetable and animal life What becomes of the dead remains of thb vast marine growth'? Do tbey •decompose as fust as they are produced ? or do tbey accumulate into deposits of peculiar co-lb destined to reward the researches of future geologists and engineers, wheu the Atlantic of our day has become the habitable ¡and of an tffter lioo/' In the chart of the Pacific Géetra we are presented with .mother remarkable instance of tbe influence of sea-rivers on vegetation. Prom the shores i.f Smith Victoria, on the Antartic continent, a. stream of cold water, 60 degrees in width, (the reader will rccoilnel thai in big! latitudes the degree- of longitude are very tifii row,) drifts slowly along the north-east and easterly direction across the Southern Paciii.;. till it impinges upon the i'outh American Bd'awt to the south of Valparaiso. There it divide;» into two urms: one of which stretched Boiith and east, doubles Cape Horn, and penetiates into the South-western yitlantie; the other flows firft north-east and tli en north-wedt along the shores of Chili and Peru, carrying colder waters into the warm sea and producing a colder air along the low, arid^plains wliiish stretch from tlie shores of the Pacific to the base of the Andes This current, discovered by Humboldt and then called after his name, lowers the temperature ofthe air about twelve degrees; while that of the water itself is s, metimes ns much as twenty-fnir degrees colder than that of the still Waters of the ocean th1 ough whieh it ¡ uns. The cold air seriously affects the vegetation along the whole i =f t!m* coast: at the =ame time that the e*»ld stream raises fogs and mists, whieh not only conceal the shores and perplex the navigator, but extend inland also and materially modify the climate. The beautiful aud ben ficent character of modifying influence becomes not only apparent, b t tho ¡most impvessivt;, when we consider, as ihe rain map of the world shows us, that on the coast of Peru no rain ever falls; and that, like the desert of Sahara, it ought, therefore, to be condemned to perpetual barrenness. But in consequence of the cold stream thus running along its borders, the atmosphere loses its transparency; and the SUB is obscured for months together. Tbe vapors of Lima are often so thick that the sun «s seen through thorn with the naked eye assumes the appearance ofthe disc ofthe moon. They commence in the morning, and extend over trie plains in the form of refreshing fogs, which disappear soon af*er midday, and are followed by heavy dews, which are precipitated during the night The morning mists and evening dew-- thus supply the place ofthe absent rains, and tbe verdure which covers tbe plains is the offspring of a. sea river What a most charming myth would the ancient poets have made out of this striking compensation.— [Edinburgh Review. Arago.—- The Paris correspondent of tho N. York Commercial Advertiser furnishes the following particulars ofthe last hours of the eel ebrated Arago : On his death bed, and on the day of his death, he revised for a new edition his tract on thunder, and sent one of his secretaries to find out the exact leugili of certain undulations in a given column of air. Three hours before his death he said to M. Biot--his collnague in the meridian experiments in Spain— "I must hand in my resignation as Perpetual Secretary of the Academy, as I can no lunger fill the duties ." 1L Very well, do," replied M. liiot, "anil we will ¡ill come in precession to give it back to you, and r proaeh you for your ingratitude." It appears from an article in Putman's Mag- azine For September, on the aaiem witchcraft, that the number of persons actually executed the year of its occurrance, iu 1002, was twenty, that eight more were under sentence, of death, that150 Were in jail, and that 200 more suspected peisons were at large.

There has been a diplomatic fashionable emeute in Madrid, between Mr. Soule, Jr., of the American Leg i tion, aud the Duke of Albr, which has thrown that capital into a state of excitement. The Paris correspondent ofthe London Chronicle, writing on tbe 26th Not-, gives tho following particulars : Private letters from Madrid speak of an affair whieh took place in that capital on the fete day of St. Kugene, and which has not re-ulted in an affair of honor. Saturday wecL being the fete day of St, Rugene—a saint not often heard of till Louis Napoleon chose to give her renown by Creating an empress of the same name—the /hai-ijuis de Turgot. the Fxwch Ambas ador at Madrid, gave a ball, whieh was attended hy all that is brilliant in the Spanish capítol, in the shape of nobility or diplomacy, Among the guests wero tiie Duke of .tiba. Iho broth'.r in law of the Empress of tlie French, and Mr. Soule. the son of the newly *i ppuintsd Minister of tho United States. In the course of the evening, Mr. Soule, jr., while walking through the ball romn with .Mrs. Perry, the wife of the Secretary of the United States Le- ¡ration, overheard the Duke of Alba (who 1ms recently been in Paria, aud is therefore a judge oí ladies1 dress") make some contemptuous remarks on the style of dress adopted I5y ihe wife ui the American Ministori (mother of young -■..ule) It appears that the lady had ttdupted a custom "fviiiifi-. is opt quite a 1 m-d... de Madrid, in so far that it covered l.^v person up to ber throat ; whereas the eííOí.1 approved fashion wftoifcg the ila^lrid damsels ia to-exhWiit as many of tin- graces conferred apon .them bv nature au con.;.' within the pbouada of ¿eoeuwyi The remark of the Dukowas, '*there goes Maty of Burgundy.11 Mr. Soule, < n hearing the contemptuous expression, left the lady with whom he was walking, and going up to the Duke, informed him '*qu"il etait une canaille," and accompanied his information with a— push. Oreatexcitement ensued and M r. Soule's father having interfered, tookawiiy tbe young man, who-subsequently addressed a ehfa'lenga the Duke, which has not yet been accepted, the Duke having found it convenient to represent tlie whole affair as political — which it certainly is, if tlie dress of the American Minister's wiie was not strictly iu the fashion, At ill events, no lighting had taken place at ihe period when the last dispatches left; but the affair was tlie topic of conversation everywhru and tho feeling was that Jonathan's position En it was pieferabie to that of the Hidalgo. Since the above whs in type, we have received tho New York tleraid nf Janna y íith, containing the following additional particulars : Mr. Soulo, the United States Minister, had fought a duel with the Marquis de Turgut, the French Minister, owing to Certain remarks of the latter on Mrs. Soule's dress, before referred to. Lord jflowdsn acted as the second of the Marquis. A duel had also been fought between young Soule and the Duke of Alba, growing out of the same affair. In neither ease had any harm been done. PaoTEcnoj', to Tiiiii í .v ü i a Ns.—The Times and Tran-seript of the 23th ultimo has the fallowing : Hon. Mr Hunt, of tho Assembly, has introduced a bill for '• the government aud protection of ludíaos,"' from which we extract the following provisions: Proprietors of lauds ou which Indians have been residing since the adoption ofthe Constitution, shall allow them to remain unmolested, provided un application is made to a Justice of the Peace for au amount < f land sufficient for the necessary want of such Indians, including a site for a vilbgo or residence. In uo case is a white person to be convicted upou the testimony of an Indian, but the latter may when aggrieved make a complaint, an J the matter is then discretionary with tho Court or Jury. Every contract made between a white person and Indian, wherein the latter agrees to perform eertain labor or services, shall, when executed before and by the consent of a Justice of the Peace, be binding. Persona f ircing Indians away from their home or com polling them to woi k against their will, shall be fined not Jess than fifty dollars at die discretion ofthe Cuurt having jurisdiction.
