MISCELLANEOUS. i uhkish fast. The following account of a Turkish fast forcibly ahd lamentably exhibits the power of that superstition of which Ma homet was the founder. The Sultan >eliir> having been constantly defeated in his wars with the Germans, who were commanded by the great Eugene, and beitig atraid of losing lus crown and his life by popular insuriections, endeavour ed to amuse the people, and divert them Iroin rebellious thoughts,by proclaiming a fast. He therefore issued the following proclamation :— *‘Ashmed Selim, sultan, emperor of the ta9t and west, Lord of Lords, true imitator of the prophet Mahomet, Scc.Scc. The grand sultan being apprehensive that the hand of the great God is stretch ed out against his government, his sub jctis, anu ms empire* sine* ne permits them to be oppressed and tormented by their enemies* the Christians, tvho have vanquished them several times, both l>y *ea and land, and all this because the Mussuimen have corrupted themselves, and become too confident of their poweis. To appease the wrath of God, thferetor*, and ol his Prophet Mahomet,he express ly orders ^here follow forms of religious ceremonies peculiar to the Mahometan creed, and then the order of the proces lion, fiom which the following is an ex tract J : •‘The procession shall begin with a coffin filled with dead men’s bones, bro ken scimitars,^’ carried by 600 Turks, clothed ih penititial habits, bare footed and bare headed, without turbans. “Three hundred Musselmen shall fol low, with habits dyed in blood, and strew ed with ashes, striking their breasts, with lamentable outcries and doleful howling#. ‘•Six thousand,nake d from their heads to their girdles* shall lash their breasts and shoulders with thorns* till the blood drojifieth on the ground t without their wipmg it off. •‘ I’he coffin of the prophet* Supported by 30 Spahis*without turbans, surroun ded by 400 Bashaws, with drawn scimi tars, to destroy all who shall took on the coffin without res/icct, and whose bo* dies ahull be cast to the dogs. “At every quarter of a mile, an ass and a Jew shall be killed, and left on the ground weltering in their blood, “Thirty land Bashaws shall be without purple, and with pitiful tuibans of a black stuff difified in the blood of the ass and the Jew. “In fine, this procession shall be closed by an innumerable multitude of people, in the midst of whom there shall be an hundred Turkish pettitents, who, with knives, shall cut off the fiesh of their arms, their breasts, and their faces, the better to appease the wrath of the Great God, and the prophet Mahomet,” iffc. The following hints, it is believed, •ays the Baltimore Tatriot, will apply with equal force to other theatres, as well as those of New York. But we des* pair of infusing good manners into the mind of a brainless coxcomb. H is infir mities being an omission of nature, from whence originated alt those little flashes of intellect, hinted at by ths New York writer, and which deserve our commis -eration and forbearance. From the New York Statesman. Gentlemen—When you enter the theatre, which should always be after the performance has commenced' and while the curtains is up, make as much noiso and bustle as you conveniently can ) it shows your consequence and commands attention. Before entering the boxes, rap on the door loud and long; you will thus pre pare the audience for your entre. Wheh seated, be sure to occupy two benches at least ; your boot over the front of the box would be interesting, or a reclining posture, occupying the places of four or five persons, would exhibit the figure to great advantage. If there be ladies in the box, be sure to occupy the front seats; and above all, remember to keep your hats oh; fash ionable men should despise all ceremony. Always occupy Iront seats, talk in an audible and imperative tone ; if any per sons complain, treat them with silen: contempt; 'tit the only certain wa> to inspire respect with the vulgar, and awe the intrusive. If you should be to unfashionable as not to chew tobacco, you will substitute pea nuts; the perfume is delightful, and particularly pleasing to the ladies. If there should be any “double enten dre” or expression in the play, that is coarse or Vulgar, be sure to applaud, and at the same time stare at the ladies.— This will not fail to express your just contempt for old fashioned politeness , a desideratum with all who would attain fashionable notoriety. IT you should have any acquaintance in the pit, be sure to point them out »>. ith an extended arm to some friend, and then call to him by his Christian name in an audible voice These are little duthe* of style and fashion which the truly pulite know how to value. CUT* Out correspondent has also lodg* ed a list of complaints against the cither Sejt. liis list of grievances, among other things, comprises large hats and bonnets —loud conversation—turning the back upon the audience—making facts at the music—taking refreshments, ts”c. It would be ungallant to publish the speci* fications in full. Hints, we trust, will be sufficient.] [Editor*. mahomedan and eclipse. About the year 1715, when Di. Hal* ley's scheme and other astronomical schemes of the great solar eclipse, which torelold the precise time of the begin* ning and ending of that eclipse, and that it would be total, was cried about every where in London, there happened to be a Manometan envoy there,fiom Tripos li, whd at first thought people distracted for pretending to know so very exactly when God Almighty would totally over* shadow the sun, which his own Mussel* men were not able to do. He conclud* ing thus, that God Almighty would never reveal so great a secret to us Unbelievers, when he did not reveal it to those whom iic cs;cemea true Believers* However, when the eclipse came precisely as those schemes had foretold* he was then asked by lord Forfar, what he now thought of the matter ? Mis answer was, that they must have their intelligence from the devil; that he was sure that God would never correspond with such a wretched set of unbelievers as the English astrono mer# were. ROYAL GALLANTRY. It i# not many year# since a house in Cleveland row, St. James, was taken down, wherein one of the favourites of kingCharles tho second formerly resided. It had a noble entrance hall and wide stair case, on the latter were plainly visi ble the marks ot the shoes of that amo rous monarch’s horse* for his gallantry was such* that he always rode up stairs to the lady’s bed chamber to pay his at tentions j but whether he descended in the same manner is uncertain.
