AN ANCIENT DESCRIPTION
OF CHRIST.
The document of which the following last exact copy is said to have been found among the ancient manuscripts sent by Publior Lentulus, President of Judea," to the Roman
Senate:
There lives at this time in Judea a man of singular character, whose name "la Jerns Christ. The barbarians esteem bim as a prophet, but his followers adore him as the Immediate offspring of God--He is endowed with such suparalleled virines as to be able to call brek the dead from their graves and to heal every.sorii of disease with a word er touch. His person is tall and elegantly shaped, his aspect amiable and reverend.
"His hair falls in those beautiful shades which no united colors can match, dropping in graceful caris below the cars, agreeably touching the shoulders and parting on the crown like the head-dress of a sect called the Nazarlies.
"His forehead is am oth and his checks with out a spot. His rose and moms are formed with exquisite symmetry. His beard to thick and suited to the hair of his head, reaching to a flits below the chin, where it parts in a fork. His eyes are bright, clear and rece. He rebukes with majesty and counsels with persus- sive language; his whole address, whether in ward or deed, being grave and strictly character istic of so exalted a bang. No man has ever seen him laugh, but all Judea bavo frequently beheld him weep:
#When he pleads his tears are so persuasive that the multitudes are unable to restrain theiri from mingling with his. He is very modest, temperate and wise. Whatever this phenomon may be in the end, he now seems to be a man of strange beauty and divine perfection, in every way surpassing the children of men

But then, as now, the Egyptian: Quastion was actor in polities as well as in commercial relations. "Great changes" said the promoters, "are on the eve of taking place in Egypt, which will considerably improve the means of trans- porting merchandise through that country, and consequently diminish the cost of translt; sud It is a well-ascertained fact that a very trifling diminution of experses in that quarter will cause a great importation of Indian and Chinese produce into the parts of the Mediterranean, It behoves England, therefore, to lose no time in preparing to meet such a change: if it be her desire to maintain her present supremacy in the

Further, it was declared that unless British steamers at oned necuplid the Red Sea, the French and Austrian grèant-packeis would soon be on the other side of the Isthmus, crowded with English passengers to Calcutta and Canton, Our Indian Empire with its hundred millions of British sub es, its revenue of twenty millions sterling, and its maritime trado of thirty millies sterling, was, according to the ingenious drailers of the original prospectus of this Interesting enterprise, trembling in the balance before the coming rush of France and Austria. Nothing could save it from the foreign invasion except the Indin and Au,tralia Mail Packet Company. Somehow the f.ct of the existence of the Fast India Company and the F. & O.
