Bfisora, on the Euphrates, was visi te.d towards the latter part of the 18th century,, with a terrible plague. Eighty tKcusartl persona perished. Basyora wa full or infection. The "air was close and suffocating. Tliere w a a mellow tinge upon eerv thin upon 4 the trees and the li?uss and the faces of if men, andtvir,en a,(' children a dull (land hideous j. coloring .like he visible ; i(l stamp cf thePetiier.ce. The water of r the Euphrates wore the sarnie yellow; and dead IV InokiiDa: hue, a tht-v moved sluc- I gishly, like a mas of creeping putrefac tion betor? up. me sun was not insuf ferably hot and as it rolled over the devoted city it seemed to linger beyond its wotit, and took down upon us, like the great and glaring eye of a malignant demon, delighted with th. vastness and horror of the' suffering beneath him. The streets were -lilent very silent. There was rank jrrasa at the very loor of the dwellings the bazaars were filled no more with happy countenances and beau tiful merchandize- The noble and the slave were alike smitten with the terrible calamity; arid pomp and glory were no longer marvelled at or esteemed. I had been-for a considerable length of time a resident at Bassora, when the plague came among us, like a sudden visitation of the vengeance of Gd. My partner in trade a young gentle man of a most estimable character, and tvilh uyhctn I was connected by the strong est ties of friendship, immediately sug gested the necessity of making our escape on board an!Euglih vessel to the Fort of liushire, where the air is purer and cooler. We made our arrangements accordingly and after !the lapse of a few days during which period . it went abroad with awlul rapidity, we were ready to depart. It was a hot, heavy evening which had been chosen for the sailiDg ol the vessel. A faint bret ze indeed stirred the tree tops and rippled the sullen waters but its breath was heated and noisome, as if ex haleJ from a half smothered volcano. In the open air. on the roof of our l;djings we waited for the signal for departure ; the scene around us was indescribable and awful. The light of the dim moon fell upon the city and partially revealed its horrors. The sick and the dead lay side by fide in the corners of th streets and men smitten with the plague, were seen reeling and staggering among them, witj) a movement apparently invol untary and purposeless. The groan's of the afijicied were long and loud and they deepeat d on our earn or died into murmurs, with the variable night breeze. The Iioqi hid nearly arrived the last Lour 1 ever expected to spend in the ac cursed city of Death. Sudenly Lsavv my friend lift his hand to" his forehead, hie oountcnance wriiheil in the moonlight as if with a cjuick sense of pain, and he ut tered a faint cry. The plague was upon him. He sat up and strove for a while to wrestle with the destroyer but an iron band was upon him, and he sunk under it like a child. Meantime the signal tor our departure was heard. It was a terri ble moment. "We had hoped to escape from the great charnel-louse around us, hut my companion was already marked as a victim and I would not leave him, although he entreated me to do so, Fly, Jietirv," he ' said in a quivering voice, flv 'wlij!e;ou may. You can do noth irg lor me-r-aiid although I hhall die un attended and alone, yet l shall rejoice at the idea that you have escaped the con tstgiori thaityuu will again visit the shoies ol our nvtiv dear. England and tell my 'mournful story ib trie friends -who will Weep for me loi-ss after I shall have ceased to softer." i Ntvei I" I exclaimed pas sionately, neei J We will die together." And I sat down' by his side, and support ed his head ,n my bosom ;a and 1 saw my last h(pe, the vessel for Busline spread in its cat.vass to the hot breeze and mov ins; slowly fcwayi One pang of unuttera ble anguish pierced, through my heart and the strUipic ol feeling was over and 1 nerved myelf fur the awful ,duty he lm e me. -The iiiglit wine heavily away.

At daylight an old Jewish physician of my acquaintance passed near us, and I called him jto my friend. He looked at him fur a mtmtent, with the cold pr i festival gnxe of one .inured to mortal suffeiing in all its varieties of horror. JIe unl die I" said he, and he pointed t the-tlaik lurid .spots which were brea king out upon him, he will di atn! there is 'no hope fur him." And he did d ie ! . It was evening once more; and I was sitting by the dead. There he lay before ute, disfigured and ghastly and breathless who butjr.aday b'-fctre had been vigorous with life and full of warm and kindly affection;. 1 tried to fhink of the realities around me an the nhanlasy of a horrible dream but it wouid not do the truth came upon toe like a shadow. And I sat still as a statue with a dull dreadful sensation Jof weariness weighing upon me. Slowlv the madning thought' came! (ver me!, that I too was smitten with the pOKtilenjcc'i I -tried to shake it ol and I rose up and walked around the apartment but my step was uncertain, and the strong tensionjof my nerves seemed lost. I looked out upon the evening. The moon was high in the heavens and a few thin clouds floating around her but there was a yellow hn upon her face, and upon the clouds ant the very sky itself. I passed my hand tfW my eyjes and looked once more.! o there was no deception : and then I knew the hand of God was upon me ; that the foul plague was upon me and groaned audibly and long. Oh that night of horror! The blood creeps coldly back upon my heart at its recollection. I was seized with terrible pains. My veins seemed glowing with the rapid passage of some heated and?boil yig liqrjid ; a' d, iuy pulse beat madly, t knew my situation j and as I looked upon the inanimate form of my companion, whose features were every hour growing more ghastly as the wan moonlight shone upon tlteiti, the hoiriblc thought came to me that n a few hours I should tie as cold arid ghastly myself. And then 1 tried to pray and I shrieked aloud for mercy : and the yell of mortal agony from af thousand sufferers like myself, alone answered me. Then I thought of home of the beautiful land of my fathers where the skie are blue and thr streams are pure, and ifhe very air blessed, I thought of my own dear friends of the quiet dwelling where I had pas.ed my childhood and of my mother,' who with tearful eyes had invoked blessings on her departed son. My Mother, my own dear inother I there was agony in the thought of her. Was I never again to see her ? Never again to feel the kisses of her tenderness upon my fevered cheek ? And I called her name aloud, like a for najeu Child in the extremity of uiy de spair. J And toy betrothed, the beautiful girl, who hfdfwept at iriy departure I should never see her again, never; there was a ring t li my finger at that moment and I looked at it by the -dim light, for it was her gift. '. The hot tear burned on my eve IWl but Jit did not fall. ''Oh God!'"' I feeblymnttered. "can this be possible?" I tho't of the delightful hours of our un evealldjaffection of its thrilling disclos ure, ah its impassioned vows. And I saw her as ft were before me, young and lovely as when I left her, her golden coloured tresses were trembling over a neck 3of dazzling thitenrss her cheek was gfovvinj;. with the warm tinge caught from he impassioned spirit, and ner eye, her blue eye, was lighted up with the smile of affection. Then I thought of my own sjf tfation smitten with the foul and incurable plague, loathsome as Death it self airtl I shut my eyes and clenched my tejMli, in the agony of mind rather than of body, although my brain was con suming aid a dreadful- prucess of tor- ture giipg in in my bosom, as if the hot fangs of a demon f were gnpmg on my heart. Th rest is a long and fearful driam. I only remember the overpowering sensa tion of thirst of striving in vain to rie from my pallet in order to reach the cor dials that stood near me mocking ne with their ight, while my throat was parching with thirst ami bhtckening with the loathsomedisease. There were strange dreams,Ttoo, which Hitted over my deliri ous brain. I was at times drinking front a gurglipg fountain drinking long and earnestly- ami yet the same intolerable sensation of thirst wasupon me, and the liquid seemed to he'at and evaporate as it passed along the burning channel of my throat. Then I wa hurried forward as by arf invisible hand over a parched wasiej an arid desolationwhere there u-as no greenness no moisture and the sun was burninu into my very brain. -Then a hideous iui m would lean over me, ttiih features "More hotr ble than he'l e'er traced. On wai.tlering Goul or demon of the waste." And she' would sit heavily oh my breast and' grit over me-in mttckery and then nis countenance would change and become as iny own only that the lividness of the plague Spot was upon it. I awjke at last, . the oltl Jewish physi- :ciau;!wai at my side, and, inoiatuuing my TUtESUAY, orticiied liS with a rpfi'H' himr Miriliu!

As we moved slowly down the nver, the groans and wailing, of the mi serable inhabitants uf Bassora pursued us Mke the imagined criesof the lost multi t''de in th torment of eternity. Rv degrees ,ny health was restored, and with a : grateful heart, T embarked for my na tive England. Never can I forget mv sensations on first touching her soil, af ter an, absence of years. It was like a translation to abetter world. And my friendsbut let their happiness and mine be-imagined words are powerless, and inadequate to describe a meeting so full d unspeakable joy. WOIDING PAYMENT OF A BILL. There is often a wonderful deal of in genuity exercised in avoiding the payment of a small bill aud by persons uhu are abundantly able at any moment to put their hands into their pockets and liu-el the demand by persons, who are prompt in discharging their large debts, &. ivould sottner drown tnem selves than have a note protested. , Yt-t these persons, much r4s they value Their credit in large matters, are not ashamed to put oft the jjrlyjni-nt of small bill-, on the prompt discharge of which the comfott, perhaps the subsist ence, of the poor creditor depends. They are not askamed to be guilty of a shut fling and deceit vvhicii would disgrace the veriest, mountebank in exisreuce. They do not say bluntly, I can't pay it." The first would be discouraging, the latter offensive. They go to woi k in a different mode j they meet the subject obliquely, instead of looking it in the face. The following, if not the exact picture of any given cast bears so near a resetn bUnce to many, that it may be taken as a general likeness of the species. We will here suppose ourselves to be the cre ditor, and the Printer's Devil the messen ger of bad tidings to a, shuffling debtor.. Pr, Dev. Is Mr. Twistificator at home? Twist. That's my name. Pr. Dev. Here's a little bill against ynu. Twist. A bill against me! what for ? Pr. Dev. For newspapers, sir. Twist. Ah, so, so nmotnv iwis- tificator.

Let me 'see, di I'nt I promise to pay it a day or two ago ? Pr. Dev. Yes, sir, you promised twice to call and pay it. Twist. Well, I ought to have dope it, I acknowledge. I hiv'nt the change just now, but if you call iiere at 12 o'clock, you shall have it. At twel ve o'clock the imp of the office, having washed the ink from his fingers, once more takes the bill to Mr. Twislili cator's. Pr Dev. t'vebrougltt your bill, sir. Twist. Is it two o'clock alreadx ? Pr. Dev. No, sir, bat it is twelve. Twist. I told you to call at two did'nt I ? Pr. Dev. No, sir : at twelve. Twist. An't yu mistaken, boy ? I" in pretty sure it was two I mentiond. How j ever, if I 'did say twele, I have forgotten j it. But it you will take the trouble to call at two precisely, I'll have the money ready for you. At two precisely the imp is again des patched with- the bill. Pr. Dev. Is Mr. Twisttficatorat home? Clerk No ; HfN just stepped out. Pr. Dev.

THIRD DAY. Llvjt Club Purjte, 56001 mile heats. Tli(Thigh expectations of fine sport, formed 'upon a race in which the unexam pled nt? tft be r .of ekvm horses, was entered for a Jfi.key Club Purse, wreeven more than HMized. There were four heats, and eui'h closely contested Tube Ros Lady vn inner and Mary Randolph con tendedtfor eafh heat, until the latter was ruled .ent by not having taken one in three. After the first heat, the one hall of Tub! Rose was sold. for 81500. The third vtt was taken by Muckle John, beatingjMnliawk only eighteen inches. The Utter named, locked him about half way doyn.the quarter stretch, and but fo- pre.-injg in too closely, in spite of his rider's 'jifoVts toliear hiin out, .it was cou jectureiv that ti e result might have been leversVfJ. Mohawk and Mary being ruled out th fourth heat was left to Tube Rose, ffady Sumner, and Mutkle John, and near was there a more interesting and dotful one even to the last, but the S mtheiS .horse finally prevailed over her grarefuf-,knd spirited" little ladyship, by about ttfyC-fhirds of a length.

The following most extraordinary ac count taken from the Kinderhook Senti nel, almost challenges belief yet we suppose it must be true "On Friday the 20th inst. ax Miss Van Buren, a young lady of the Valatie was dressing her hair 111 the factory of Mr. Baldwin, 'she accidentally brought it in contact with one of the horizontal iron shafts which makes 53 revolutions the minute. This shaft is square, two and a half inches in 'diameter, and is placed about If inches from the upper floor. . The young lady was 'standing nearly under it, facing from it and in tossing back her hair, which she h.vd been combing over her face, probably without reflecting that the shaft above Iter was in motion, it caught fast, and she found herself instantly drawn up toward it with the velocity of lightning. With an extraordinary presence of mind, she grasped the" shaft with her hands, at the . ... 1 1 ;une time matting a violent ettoit to. place her feet upon it, in order that by revolving with it she might escape a dis location of the neck. She succeeded in clinging to the shaft during two or three revolutions, but its velocity was such a that at length to break her hold, and she was projected eight or ten fet from if, leaving her entire scalp from the ex tremity of the eyelids to the third verte bra of the neck Vast to the shaft, and re volving with it. She arose immediately from the floor, and proceeded to stop one of ;he looms which she tended, whi!e the overseer stopped the wheel. Drs. Miller and Phi ip were, immedi ately called, and wifti the assistance uf such as had not fled or fainted from fi ight, the' scalp was replaced upon the head and adjusted, and the patient conveyed to her room. The scene was truly fi ightful. . She is at present in a comfortable condi tion, and the physicians state, that e -erv symptom indicates a firm re-unio:i of the parts and a speedy recovery of health.. J - I T .

The New-YorkTCveningStar, orThurs. day, says We have reaon to believe that a Committee of the Senate, .probably a joint committee-ol both Hoases. composed of the first men in the tuition will be au thorised to inquire whether any conpira cr has existed to destroy the U. Sr Bank, chartered by Congress, in which the-people are heavy stock-holders how far the rights of Congress have been violated by removing the Deposih without permis sion of that body what operations iu stock have been made -with the view 10 the destruction of the Bank and the reak condi'ion of that institution and its utili ty in iis true fisral relations with the country, &cf with power to seud for pre sons and papers" At the hanging of Getter, oh the 4th inst, near Easton, Pa. for the murder of his wife, the rope broke, and it was no until the elapse of twenty minutes that the Executioner was able to bring the culprit again to the beam. Besides thai circumstance, so gratifying the spec tators, the Eastop Whig adds the follow- ing, which certainly is indicative of a most edifying spectacle. 44 It is computed there were from 15,0fitJ to 20,000 persons present ; and our town seemed 1p have more of the drinking, ca rousing, laughter and merriment of a grand frolic, than the solemr spectacle of the execution of a fellow-being. Ouf Brigadier General having ordered all tb volunteers of the county to parade, it is supposed that upwards of a thousand ift uniform were present There was a vast deal of"' intemperance $ Several lying drunk in thje roads leading from town to wards evening, and even some lying in, the slivet during toe day.
