TOE TURK UNBEARDED. A LIVORNESE FACT. Some time since, business brought a Turkish merchant to Leghorn j being i ' a person ot liberal disposition, and pos sessing the means of displaying it, his i acquaintance was much sought by the -s thnliy and calculating L.ivornese. lie was a robust, good-looking, man, of about thitty, five, and gloried in a beard of most respectable longitude, as black as jet, which it was his particular care lo keep duly trimmed and delicately perfumed. At one of the conversazioni "iif the place, he fell iti with the wife of a ceitain Signer G , a gentleman em plQyed in the dogana, or clislom-house, lut who happened at this period to be in Florence, whither he had been cal led by a law suit. Though a Tuscan, i Signor G- , was an almost solitary in-. ' Mance of the kind, subject to the Occa fcional fits of jealousy, and when sum moned by his affairs to Florence left his heller half with considerable reluctance; but being put lo a choice ot evils he ' wisely prefened leaving his . wife for a time to the risk ot losing his money for ever. The lady, as I have said at- tracted the Mussulman's-attention. Be ing somewhat of a coquette, the novel ty of a Turkish adorer hit her fancy ex tremely; fo that poor Achmet was ere long ensnared in the meshes of Cupid, wnnoui a prospect, or even a wish, to extricate himself. Never hearing the least hiut at her being encumbered with a husband, he nauirally enough conclu der that she was either maid or widow, and consequently fair game, to be wooed and to be won, for he did not set the difference of religion down as a great obstacle. One evening therefore, whilst engaged at tua kcuno of a friend, in a tender tei ' 1. 3 offered in tolera ble lingu - for real Italian he neither ui. J very well nor spoke very intei.i ,L iy, to take' his Christian enslaver to Coitantinople as his wife. Ileaiing this fair proposal, unwilling, no doubt, to risk the loss of her admir er by a candid explanation, she, ban tered him without giving a decisive an swer to his question. In this manner - she put him off from day to. day, whilst . thg'cnamored Turk continued to press his suit with more fervour than ever. In the meantime Signor Q , having terminated his affairs, was daily expec ted from Florence. His lady was not particularly anxious that he should . be- i. corn acquainted with the advantageous oiTer made her in his absence. But now gei net 01 ner 1 urkish swam, who besieged her as closely as a belea gured city 1 She at length hit on, what she conceived an infallible plan for this purpose. His predilection for his beard was no secret to her, and on this she bas c 1 her operations. Accordingly, when I13 next pressed her as usual. Really,1 the said 'I might be prevailed on but for . that odious beard.' , 'Odious beard I' reiterated the petrifi ed Turk, the blessed prophet cannot boast afiner.'--' ,'.'-". ....

His twelve followers, with all the gravity of Turks,, squatted themselves down in the middle of the rooriij and making themselves at home, produced their pipes, and began compos edly to send , up the odoriferous fumes in volumes to the ceiling. In the mean time the fair Livorn'ese within was sad ly embarrassed; In vain she prayed, expostulated remonstrated, explained. The enraptured Turk would listen nei ther to excuse or entreaty. Had he not sacrificed his beard? Was not his chin as smodth as her own : Was ever woman more fairly or dearly wbh? Hd the scene "would have ended we cannot pretend to determinei had it not happened that just at this vey critical moment fjignor d--j himself walk ed in. When he entered the anteroom and beheld twelve Turks smoking in a circle, like the signs bf the zodiac in the days ot Fhoetoti; he almost began to ifiink lie had mistaken the house. tJp- on inquiry what all this meant,, one of the gi'ave dozen lafconicaliy gate him to understand that tlie residence now be longed to his master; ' , . 'Indeed !' said Signer , "3 ' , mheh edified by the intelligence; 'How has that happened 1 "He has married the lady,' puffed out the Mussulman. ' ) c 'The devil he lias ! roared Signor G , Vhat a. new husband ! and a Turk to boot, after six weeks absence?' And lie " rushed into the inner apart ment. There he found his lady resisting as we have described, the overtures of the smooth-chin Turk. 'My husband!' cried the lady -'My wife!' said the gentleman. Tho disappointed Mussul man stood against as he heard ; whilst thesignora began explaining to Signor G- i the meaning of the strange scene, a? well as she could, whether entirely to her htisbarj$'s satisfaction is uncer tain. Bo tha: " iiv he very polite ly assured hjiityTedsuCcessorj that wives U ing dnly allotted one husband at a time in Italy; and his claim being the prior one; he trusted the other would at least have the goodness tb wait for his demise I but this wad what the Turk, who had parted with his beloved beard to obtain the lady, was by no means inclined to consent to. Words ensued, and words were on the point of being followed by blows, in which, as there was only one Christian against a round dozen ol "Turks,- the former, though the first . husbandi would rrobablv have come off second best,- had not his ser vants, seeing bow matters went, called in the police, whose presence put an end to the fracas. ' Infuriated at the doiibfe loss bf his beard and hisbridej the Turk coutiriued to threaten vengeance for having been thus victimized,-until the police,- appre hensive of the ccnsequenceSj put htm by force on board his own vessel, and sent him'beardless fend wifeless back to Constantinople.
