A dim is not an impeachment of a sabscnb- er's integrity, but is simply an out- cropping of a pablisber's necessities. For instance, tiuree or four hundred men owe us from one to two di^rs.

About midnight ou Thursday last, fire was discovered in one of the upper rooms, and al- though Mr. Gibson and his wife had not yet retired, the flames spread with such rapidity ihat all tiiey could do was to save their children, leaving their furniture to the devouring elem- ent. Nothing but the bare stone walls (or rather three of them, the front having fallen,) now remain of the; hotel; while the stables, which were' fraire, were also destroyed. The premises was owned by Mr. S. J. Parker, and was insured for $1000, which will be about half the loss. Mr. M. Gibson, who occupied the house, lost all his furniture on which he had an insurance for $800,-0. S, Times. The revised version of the Old Testament, which was given to the public last week, has been received with every manifestation of approval and favor. Critics are almost a unit in declaring it to be an admirable and learned work undertaken and com- pleted in a broad, and yet conservative spirit, with the conscientious aim of giving to the world the true and literal interpretation of the original text. The revisers have proceeded, cautious- ly, rigidly adhering to the old version where it truly expressed the meaning intended to be conveyed. In the labor of translation the profoundest scholars of two hemispheres have been engaged. The result is eeen in ihe elegant diction and simplicity of ex- pression characterising the whole work, and which, apart from its valoe as being the Divine revelation to man, possesses a literaiy merit which challenges the admiration of Clmstian and sceptic alike. â€" Truth, TWKmr THSUSAKD UVK8 DBSTBOTB THBXAHnn TBOora.

The Chiro correspondent of The Paris Tempt has sent to that newspaper an aeoonntof the eaptain of Khartoum by an eye-witness. Ahmed Mahom- med Sakh, a leigeint of the Egyptian army, who was in the neighborhood of this Palace occupied by Gen. Gor- don, but has iost escaped from the conquered town. He arrived safe at A^uan on the 27th of April la«t. narration, literally tianslated from the Arabic, is as icUows â€" Khartoum was at the point of being reduced to famine. All kinds of food were selling at exorbitant prices- In the course of one night the rebels, numbering 25,000, under the command of Walad el Nogan, filled up the ditches outside the town. That oper- ation could be carried out in conse* quence of the trason of several of Gen- eral ordon's officers â€" ^principally Farag Pasha, Ahmed Bey, Ali Gelab, and Hassan Bey el Bagnischani. At day break while the inhabitants were still asleep, the soldiers of Mohammed Ahmed entered the town, shouting and began to massacre all those whom they met. Then they attacted the Palace of the Governor General, who after having killed two of his assailants, was over powered by numbers, fiis head was cut off and taken to the Mahdi. The slaughter and pillage continued until mid-day. Towards sunset, the Abahdehs, who act as spies for the rebels, warned them of the approach of vessels com- ing from the north with soldiers and and provisions. These troops coming to the rescue of the town, were obliged to turn back and two vessels were destroyed. If the English had reached Khartoum at a few hours earlier they would have saved the town, which was well fortified, and contained a garrison of 18,000 men. The greater number of these were killed. The Shaggiehs perished to a man m the slaughter. Three days after the occupation the rebels put to death Farag Pasha and Ahmed Bey. As regards the third traitor, Hassan Bey el Bagnischani he was spared, and has joined the troops o£ the Mahdi. The correspondent adds, that the women of Khartoum were sold as slaves, after a number had been reserv- ed by Mohammed Ahmed and some of his chiefs. The dead amounted to more an 20,000. The bouies, under the insteuction of Mohammed Ahmed, were lying anburied. The Mahdi lives at Omdurman, a village on the right bank of the Bahr el Abiad, commanding the route to Kordofan. He goes every Friday to say prayers at Khartoum. DRIVE IT AWAY. Drive away all poisohoi^s humor from the blood before it develops in serufola or some chronic form of disease.
