Cawnpore in England, On the morning of the 6thof February, private in the Sixth Northumberland Fusileers, underwent the sentence of a court wartial. dooming bim to receive 450 gasbes, cut, at the rate of nine ata time, into his back. Au eyewitness furnishes the Northern Express with the following description of this piece of ruffianism : “The poor victim to military tyrrany, & man who has seen better circumstances, aud is, we hear, connected with a distinguished family in the north ef Ireland, when ordered to strip, steruly aud steadily refused. On-this sixteen of the strongest end most muscular men stood forward, and hurled bim face downward on the stone pavement of the racket court. He manfuily resisted this indignity, aud with a voice trembling with emotion, requested them to take his life, but spare him this dishonor. A: few moments, boweéter, and he was stripped aud tied to the triangles. And pow began @ scene which requires an abler pen thau mine to describe, orth stepped one of the largest drummers, armed with a ‘cat,’ the length of the -handle of which being eight inches, the nine-tails the same length, not, as your correspondent states, armed with lead, but with pevtagonal pieces of case-bardened steel, eighty-one in uumber. At the first blow of the ‘cat,’ a piercing aud unearthly shriek rung from the stroug mau in hisagouy! His larcerated fleeh gaped under the blow, and lumps of flesh, at each fresb blow, were detached from his bleeding bac , and bung high about the walls of the racketeourt and on the clothes of those standing by. The stern colonel, compelled to be an nowilling witness, turned, and leaning on the arm of the equally affected major, covered bis face with his handkerebief, while deep sighs agitated bis manly bosom, and plainly showed the struggle that was going ou within. The surgeon, a most humane man, was obliged to be supported by his hospital sergeant, who, from time to time, administered to bim restoratives, as well as to the suffering seidier, Man after man fell from the ranks, carried away fainting; tears bedewed the faces of nearly all the officers, and } at length the poor sufferer was released from . his torture, to linger in the hospital, where he now lies, the whole of his spine being laid bare, and ganzrene bas ensued, leaving the tortured and lacerated wretch in such siate that every Chriian can only hope that death, asit must do. will soon release him from his sufferings.” The Northern xpress adds: “At the furtyfifth stroke of the instrument—that is, after reeviving 405 gashes—the uubappy wretch, whom fortune saved from the hand of an Indian, to . fall into the bands of English Nena Sahib, pos. itively burst his bonds in the contortions of . agony, and fell in a blocdy heap to the ground. lie was again tied up and the other forty-five . . wounds were inflicted. Not a single drop of .

Ancient Jerusalem. is for the most part a. buried city. Its ruins lie in sume places from twenty to forty feet below the level of the preeent strects and buildings. According to Josephus, it-was perforated with passages in various directions, and marvellous stories are still curreat among the inhab tants in re:pect to eubterranean galléries and hatls beneath their feet. That such passages exist there can be no doubt, und when the time for making excavations without danger from the Moslem, authorities shall arrive, we shall probably have new light shed upon the top graphy of the Holy City. Meanlime we must be content with euch centribut tious as eager explorers, under the preseut n0favorable cireumsta:ces, are able to make, The most recent of these, aud in some respects the most remarkable, are by a Dr. Barelay, missionary physiciam, resident between, three and four years in the city of Jerusalem, In bis beautifully printed volume, ensitled “The City of the Great King.’ recently issued; he has communicated an amount of accurate information which can hardly be too highly valued, Ever since the Crusaders lost possession of Palestine, Mount Moriah, the sacred elevation or arga on whieh the temple once stood, hae beer’ forbidden to Christians. Regarded by the Mahommedans as the most sacred spot in the whole world next to Mecca, it is jealously guarded against the intrusion of Europeans, and uo Christian, except by stealth. or as a special favor, has been allowed to plant his foot within the enclosure where the Savior of, the world ance ttood and taught. Some years since, Mr, Catherwood,. at the hazard of his life, succeeded inelud ny the vigilance of the guards, and gave a more particular dereription of the area a.d the build nog than we posses:ed before, A few others, also by special favor, have been admitted, but their opportunities for observation were extremely limited. : It was the good fortune of Dr. Barclay, in return for medical serviers to the architect of the Sultan, appointed to make certain repairs withinthe enelosure, to be invited to accompany him as an assistant. In this ¢apacity he examined every part of the area, and took eccurate measurements, and the result ia an aceount of this interesting part of the Holy City more full and reliable than any previons description, The enclosure itself is a platform containing thirty-six acres, on which stand Mosques and other building», while minarets, trees, and fountains diversify the scene, The most beautiful its graceful dome. beneath which, rising some five feet above the marble floor, is the remarkable rock, sixty feet long by fifty-five feet broad, whieh is supposed by many to mark the site of Holy of Holies in the Jewish temple, It is no doubt a portion of the original surface: of the hill, But the most important of Dr, Barclay’s observations relate to the substructions andr the southeast corner ef this enclosure. Centuries siuce, as far back probably as the Jewirh temple was built, the area of Mount Moriah was received the full tale, and was carried to the hospital delirious, in a state which rendered it . doubtful whether, in the event of his physical . . recovery, be would not he the inmate of a’mad . bouse for life. This is surely a borrible affair.” . An Inpustriovs Moxarcu.—The Paris correspoudent of the London Morning Post, stays that there is perhaps no man in the whole world who goes through such an amount of difficult mental Jabor daily asthe Emperor Napoleon, At the present mumeut especially the woet important respousibility ef foreigu aud domestic . atlairs belougs persoually to the ruler of Krauce. .

Here it was, temple wall were querried, Being dressed on about show, the temple might be easily built, as the account in the Scriptures states that it was, with no noise of hammer, axe, or any tool of iron, Other subterranean passages are known to exist, sume of which are aeseribed in Dr. Barcliy’s bouk, but several remain yet to be explored.

Cawnpore in England, On the morning of the 6thof February, private in the Sixth Northumberland Fusileers, underwent the sentence of a court wartial. dooming bim to receive 450 gasbes, cut, at the rate of nine ata time, into his back. Au eyewitness furnishes the Northern Express with the following description of this piece of ruffianism : “The poor victim to military tyrrany, & man who has seen better circumstances, aud is, we hear, connected with a distinguished family in the north ef Ireland, when ordered to strip, steruly aud steadily refused. On-this sixteen of the strongest end most muscular men stood forward, and hurled bim face downward on the stone pavement of the racket court. He manfuily resisted this indignity, aud with a voice trembling with emotion, requested them to take his life, but spare him this dishonor. A: few moments, boweéter, and he was stripped aud tied to the triangles. And pow began @ scene which requires an abler pen thau mine to describe, orth stepped one of the largest drummers, armed with a ‘cat,’ the length of the -handle of which being eight inches, the nine-tails the same length, not, as your correspondent states, armed with lead, but with pevtagonal pieces of case-bardened steel, eighty-one in uumber. At the first blow of the ‘cat,’ a piercing aud unearthly shriek rung from the stroug mau in hisagouy! His larcerated fleeh gaped under the blow, and lumps of flesh, at each fresb blow, were detached from his bleeding bac , and bung high about the walls of the racketeourt and on the clothes of those standing by. The stern colonel, compelled to be an nowilling witness, turned, and leaning on the arm of the equally affected major, covered bis face with his handkerebief, while deep sighs agitated bis manly bosom, and plainly showed the struggle that was going ou within. The surgeon, a most humane man, was obliged to be supported by his hospital sergeant, who, from time to time, administered to bim restoratives, as well as to the suffering seidier, Man after man fell from the ranks, carried away fainting; tears bedewed the faces of nearly all the officers, and } at length the poor sufferer was released from . his torture, to linger in the hospital, where he now lies, the whole of his spine being laid bare, and ganzrene bas ensued, leaving the tortured and lacerated wretch in such siate that every Chriian can only hope that death, asit must do. will soon release him from his sufferings.” The Northern xpress adds: “At the furtyfifth stroke of the instrument—that is, after reeviving 405 gashes—the uubappy wretch, whom fortune saved from the hand of an Indian, to . fall into the bands of English Nena Sahib, pos. itively burst his bonds in the contortions of . agony, and fell in a blocdy heap to the ground. lie was again tied up and the other forty-five . . wounds were inflicted.

Ancient Jerusalem. is for the most part a. buried city. Its ruins lie in sume places from twenty to forty feet below the level of the preeent strects and buildings. According to Josephus, it-was perforated with passages in various directions, and marvellous stories are still curreat among the inhab tants in re:pect to eubterranean galléries and hatls beneath their feet. That such passages exist there can be no doubt, und when the time for making excavations without danger from the Moslem, authorities shall arrive, we shall probably have new light shed upon the top graphy of the Holy City. Meanlime we must be content with euch centribut tious as eager explorers, under the preseut n0favorable cireumsta:ces, are able to make, The most recent of these, aud in some respects the most remarkable, are by a Dr. Barelay, missionary physiciam, resident between, three and four years in the city of Jerusalem, In bis beautifully printed volume, ensitled “The City of the Great King.’ recently issued; he has communicated an amount of accurate information which can hardly be too highly valued, Ever since the Crusaders lost possession of Palestine, Mount Moriah, the sacred elevation or arga on whieh the temple once stood, hae beer’ forbidden to Christians. Regarded by the Mahommedans as the most sacred spot in the whole world next to Mecca, it is jealously guarded against the intrusion of Europeans, and uo Christian, except by stealth. or as a special favor, has been allowed to plant his foot within the enclosure where the Savior of, the world ance ttood and taught. Some years since, Mr, Catherwood,. at the hazard of his life, succeeded inelud ny the vigilance of the guards, and gave a more particular dereription of the area a.d the build nog than we posses:ed before, A few others, also by special favor, have been admitted, but their opportunities for observation were extremely limited. : It was the good fortune of Dr. Barclay, in return for medical serviers to the architect of the Sultan, appointed to make certain repairs withinthe enelosure, to be invited to accompany him as an assistant. In this ¢apacity he examined every part of the area, and took eccurate measurements, and the result ia an aceount of this interesting part of the Holy City more full and reliable than any previons description,

The enclosure itself is a platform containing thirty-six acres, on which stand Mosques and other building», while minarets, trees, and fountains diversify the scene, The most beautiful its graceful dome. beneath which, rising some five feet above the marble floor, is the remarkable rock, sixty feet long by fifty-five feet broad, whieh is supposed by many to mark the site of Holy of Holies in the Jewish temple, It is no doubt a portion of the original surface: of the hill, But the most important of Dr, Barclay’s observations relate to the substructions andr the southeast corner ef this enclosure. Centuries siuce, as far back probably as the Jewirh temple was built, the area of Mount Moriah was received the full tale, and was carried to the hospital delirious, in a state which rendered it . doubtful whether, in the event of his physical . . recovery, be would not he the inmate of a’mad . bouse for life. This is surely a borrible affair.” .
