But the communities which are to have a legal existence have made a much less rapid progress thin Associations of Laymen under the cslour of religion, but whose object is to re-establish the propagate their maxims. These Asso Associations - ciations Associations have various names in the dif diffeient - feient diffeient dejsirtments, and in different towns, which concert the bond of union common D them all. We do not know the namesol them all, but they all have the same object, and are guided by in instruciions - struciions instruciions proceeding from a common source. The Societe des Missions de France, eitablished at Grenoble, has a particular organization, which we know from the pipers of one of its members, who died n 1824. and from it an idea mny be firmed of what such Societies are in othirs places. This Association divides the town of Grenoble, which hardly contains 20.000 souls, into twen twenly - ly twenly sections; each section is to consist of forty members at least, taken from both sexes, and among all classes of the pop population. - ulation. population. Each section is under the au authority - thority authority of an elder or dean. The whole society acknowledges two chiefs, one with the title of Ecclesiastical Rec Rector, - tor, Rector, one of the cures of the town; the other with the title of President of the Association, and this dignity is generally conferred on one of the Judges of the Cour Roy ale. Besides these two chiefs, the Association has other office-bearers, and a Central Council, one of its mem members - bers members being no less a person than an Ad Advocate-General. - vocate-General. Advocate-General. The members of all the sections meet on fixed days; the Deans of each section also meet under the Presidency of the Political Chief, and it is by their means orders are sent to the sections and the members. The Association acknowledges as its bead Ihe Superior-General of the Missions of France at Paris; but this is only a nom nominal - inal nominal thing, and only serves as a means of communication between the Association and the Jesuits. The Association has a church, and performs its devotions there; but the doors are shut when they are engaged in any particular busi business - ness business which must be concealed from the profane. The Members attend at pro processions, - cessions, processions, find practise all the rites of re religion. - ligion. religion. The Members are adopted by scrutiny. After a previous inquiry, the church doors are shut, the candidate is presented at the altar by two sponsors, mass is celebrated, he receives the sa sacrament, - crament, sacrament, and takes an oath which obliges him to secresy, and to obey the laws of the society. On the oath being taken, the members repair to the Sa Sacristy, - cristy, Sacristy, where the polilical President addresses the new member on his du duties - ties duties to the society, one of which is, to give an account of every thing which he may hear or see, contrary to relig religion - ion religion and the Monarchy.

It is particularly among schools, and at Uni Universities, - versities, Universities, that they recruit their num numbers - bers numbers by these youthful novices. The statutes of the society oblige the mem members - bers members to preserve in their behaviour the semblance of religion by fasting, and by eating on proper days no meat. They must hear the Mass every day, receive the Sacrament frequently, and never go to a theatre. The influence of the As Association - sociation Association has been remarkable, and some members, who have hitherto lived in forgetfulness of all the duties of relig religion, - ion, religion, have suddenly begun to practise all its ceremonies. Each member pays a certain sum per month; the minimum is fixed, and the money is all put in a chest, and is never taken out but for some object of general utility. It is said that at pres present - ent present fifty millions (francs) are levied in this manner in France. When the So Society - ciety Society wants any money, it implores the charity of its members, or makes a col collection. - lection. collection. The greater part of the mem members, - bers, members, particularly the female*, are of the lowest classes, and only know of the As Association - sociation Association as having a religious object; but those who give proofs of their de devotedness - votedness devotedness are advanced to a higher rank, which initiates Ihem into the se secret. - cret. secret. At Grenoble, as well as in the other parts of France, the members of this society obtain the best employ employments; - ments; employments; so that all those who look for forward - ward forward for promotion become members of this society. The Society has three es establishments - tablishments establishments ; one of them, the Bibliothe Bibliothecae - cae Bibliothecae Religieuse, is under the direction of an ecclesiastic, and contains from eight to ten thousand volumes. The Jour nals and pamphlets suited to the partic particular - ular particular party are to be met with there; and the hooks are lent »o the, inhabitants who wish to have them to read. Under the pretence of placing young women out at service, the ladies of the society form a distinct branch, having for their object to learn all the secrets of private families. The third establishment is a society Bonnes Etudes, at the Ecole de Droit. Young men are inveighled into this establishment by the promise of ad advancement - vancement advancement in the profession, and by the

attractions < f pleasure. For them a bil billiard - liard billiard table has been placed in one of the halls of the Bibliotheque Religieuse. Such is the society at Grenoble ; and by it we may form some idea of what the others are. The system is closely form formed, - ed, formed, and extends over the whole of Fiance. Full of divisions, without dig dignity - nity dignity and without power, her institutions perverted, and even menaced with ruin, France already testifies to the evils of this system ; but the future has in store for her some still severer lessons. BATHING. The extreme heat of the weather lately renders the bath as much an article of absolute necessity with us as it is in Asia or Africa The following article, from Tegg's Book of Utility, is seasonable and may be serviceable : - . The ancient Greeks, Romans and Ger Germans, - mans, Germans, as well as the Pe-smns, Turks,and especially ihe modern Egyptians, enjoy the comforts atid luxuries procured by bathing, in a degree of which we can scarcely form an adequate conception. Froin Mr. Savary's" Letters on Egypt," it appears that bathing is employed by those voluptuaries, not only for procur procuring - ing procuring the most delightful sensations, and removing that irksomeness and apathy which is the general concomitant of an idle or,sensual life, but likewise with a view to prevent or cure rheumatisms, catarrhs, or such cutaneous diseases as their climate produces, an atmosphere loaded with humid and impure exhala exhalations, - tions, exhalations, and highly unfavorable to insensi insensible - ble insensible perspiration. There are no people on earth who are less troubled with asthmatic complaints than the Egyp Egyptians; - tians; Egyptians; and a few nations so passionately fond of bathing. Though the ancients could less dis dispense - pense dispense with the use of the bath, on ac account - count account of the frequency, of their athletic exercises, as well as from the want oi linen, which was then much less in use than at the present, yet, in our times, it would be of great service if the use of baths were more general and frequent, and this beneficial practice not confined to particularplaces or seasons, as a mere matter oi lashion. Considered as a spe species - cies species of universal domestic remedy, as one which forms the basis of cleanli cleanliness, - ness, cleanliness, bathing, in its different forms, may be pronounced one of the most exten extensive - sive extensive and beneficial restorers of health and vigor. Cold Baths are those of a temperature varying from the 33d to the 56th degree of Farenheit's thermometer. The gen general - eral general properties of the cold bath consists in its power of contracting the animal fibres, while it dissipates the caloric (or matter of heat) that exists between their interstices, and thus effects a great greater - er greater approximation of the particles, were before dilated and relaxed by heat. That such the natural influence of cold cannot be doubted ; and hence this species of bath, by its powerful action on the whole system, is one of the most important medicinal remedies presented by the hand, and, as it were, supplied by the very bosom of nature. The superior advantages of cold bath bathing - ing bathing over all internal corroborants, con consists - sists consists chiefly in its immediate salutary ac action - tion action on the solids, without the interven intervention - tion intervention of the organs of digestion and nutri nutrition - tion nutrition ; without having to perform a pas passage - sage passage through the numerous channels, before it can exert its efficacy. For this obvious reason it is peculiarly adapt adapted - ed adapted to those const tutions which, though robust, and apparently healthy, an lia liable - ble liable to nervous, hysteric, hypochondriac hypochondriacal, - al, hypochondriacal, and paralytic affections, as well as to frequent attacks of flatulency and conse consequently - quently consequently indigestion. Cool Baths may be called those which are of a temperature between the 56th and 76th degree of Fahrenheit's scale. They are of great service in all the cas cases - es cases where Cold baihing has been recom recommenced, - menced, recommenced, and require nearly similar pre precautions. - cautions. precautions. As (heir influence however, on first entering Ihem, is less violent, ihouah their subsequent effect may be attended with equal advantages, it fol follows - lows follows that even persons of a more deli delicate - cate delicate organization may resort to Ihem with greater safety. With respect to rules for cool bathing we shall only remark that,notwithstand that,notwithstanding - ing that,notwithstanding its effects are less perceptible while the body continues in Ihe water, it is ne necessary - cessary necessary thnt the bather oncoming out of it should be wiped dry with the greatest expedition, to prevent catarrhal affec affections. - tions. affections. Warm Baths are such as have a tem temperature - perature temperature above the 76th, nnd not ex exceeding - ceeding exceeding the 96th or 98th degree of (be thermometer before mentioned. There are various springs to which Nature has given this temperature, the mo«( beneficial to the human body. But whether the tepid bath of this descrip description - tion description be natural or artificial, it is equally conducive to the restoration of energy, though its effects have, till lately, been little understood. Physicians, as well as patients, have hitherto been too gen generally - erally generally accustomed to consider a warm -bath as weakening the body, and used for the removal of certain diseases, especially those of the skin.

We were not aware of the tumults and massacres of which Constantinople had been the scene. It was not safe for a European to passthrough Peiu orGa orGalata, - lata, orGalata, without a Jannizary. On landing at ihe falter suburb, we entered a coffee house; but the Turks, with impressive gestures, warned us away. Not only the soldiers, but ail the populace, bore arms: the very boys had their pistols and at tagban, and had learned to dip their hands in blood Almost evnrv day some dreadful atrocity wn# «cted.-- Tnera was no mercy for the Greek, wherever discovered: no home could shelter him, save the palaces of the am ambassadors. - bassadors. ambassadors. The windows of the lofty apartment, where we lodged, looked own on a cemetery, whh its cypress grove. As soon as evening set in, the tiring of muskets and pistols commenced around it, and was kept up, at intervals, through the night: this rendered it un unsate - sate unsate to walk there after sunset. Of the Greek boyars, or noblemen, scarcely one now remains. Those who were not slain in the tumults have fled from their homes, and left their families and pos possessions - sessions possessions at the mercy of the Turks. The village ol Therapia, on the Bos Bosphorus, - phorus, Bosphorus, was celebrated alike for the beauty of its women, and the uncommon loveliness of its situation. It was a lux luxury - ury luxury to a stranger, in the cool of evening, to see the Greek ladtes and princesses walking there, with their raven hair, scarcely confined, and the rich veil turn turned - ed turned aside ; their classic features and fine forms harmonizing well with the exquis exquisite - ite exquisite scenery around - bm now every path is silent there, and their palaces ate de deserted. - serted. deserted. We set out early one morning, a par party - ty party ot «ix, to make the tour of the walls of Constantinople. It was a very sultry and cloudless day; but any fatigue would have been repa d by such a promenade. The country,tr the immediate neighbor neighborhood, - hood, neighborhood, it is in vain to attempt to describe. I'hese ancient walls have a most noble and venerable ai-pearance; they are about forty feet high in many parts, with towers quite shrouded with ivy. But it was in vain we attempted to dis discover - cover discover the place of the breach by which the r l urks entered. The whole circuit of the walls is eighteen miles; but the line towards the sea is not so lofty. A Abouta - bouta Abouta mile off, on the plain, is the lofty mound where Mahomoud planted his standard, and first beheld the city ; and, transported with its beauty, swore by the Prophet never to stir thence till it was his own. It is directly opposite the gate of Topheani, whence the unfortunate Constantine made his last sally, and, oe oeing - ing oeing mortally wounded, was borne to a shaded spot near by, where he expired. There was an Armenian coffee-house at this place, outside the wall: we en entered - tered entered it, and soon felt the reality of ori oriental - ental oriental luxury. When exhausted by heat and fatigue, to recline on soft cushions by the side of a fountain, to drink Ara Arabian - bian Arabian coffee or sherbet, and take the Ar Argille, - gille, Argille, where the smoke, after passing through a vase of waler, comes cooled through a soft and curling tube to the mouth ; all this acts on the senses with a powerful charm. We afterwards came to the ruins of a small Greek church, lately destroyed, that had been held in peculiar veneration, on account of some sacred fish that had been preserved there in a pool, with infinite care. At the storming of the city by Mahomoud, the wall near which this church stood was considered impregnable. One of the Greek priests was frying some fish, secure in his situation. On a messen messenfer - fer messenfer entering with the news that the Turks were forcing their way in, ' I would as soon believe,' exclaimed the priest, ' that this fish would leap out of the pan, and swim about the room, as such an impossible event.' Strange to say, the thing actually happened; and (these sacred fish were preserved, till inviolable; but they toe, have [fallen with their masters, before the sacrilegious lurks. - While we were 'there, two poo Greeks drew nigh, with marks of the deepest reverence, and one of them shed tears at the sight of the ru ruins. - We - ins. - We ruins. - We then took a boat and landed not far from the Alrneidan, or chief square of the city : here stands the splendid mosque of Sultan Mahmoud; but no European at that time was allow allowed - ed allowed to enter the mosques, and we could only gaze on the outside of Saint Sophia. On passing by one of the gates of the seraglio, it stood open, and afforded a glimpse at the gardens within : but this was forbidden ground. At the foot of the gate lay a number of the wretched Greeks, and the boys were tumbling them about like foot-balls. Near this was a large fountain of strikingly rich and elegant appearance, carved and

- OOO- [From the New Monthly Magazine.] The Holy Sepulchre. Having engaged with Father G. to visit the church of the Holy Sepulchre, we went there in the evening, and pass passing - ing passing through the court entered the first lohy apartment. There was a guard of Purks in a recess just within the door, to whom every pilgiim is obliged to pay a certain sum for admission; but we were exempted from tins tax. In the middle of the first apartment is a large marble slab, raised above the floor, over which lamps are suspended : this is said to be th* space where the body of the Redeemer was anointed and prepared ; for the sepulchre. You then turn to the left, and enter the large rotunda, which terminates in a dome at the top. In the centre of the floor stands the ho holly - lly holly sepulchre ; it is of an oblong form, and composed of a very fine reddish stone brought from the Red Sea, that has quite the appearance of marble. Ascending two or three low steps, and taking off your shoes, you enter the (first small apartment, which is floored i with marble, and the walls lined with the same. In the centre is a low shaft of white marble, being the spot to which the angel rolled the stone from the tomb, and sat on it. You now stoop low to enter the narrow door that con conducts - ducts conducts tp the side oi the sepulchre. The tomb is of a light brown and white mar marble, - ble, marble, about six feet long and three feet high, and the same number in breadth, being joined to the wail. Between the sepulchre and the opposite wall the space is very confined, and not more than four or five persons can remain in it at a time. The floor and the walls are of a beautiful marble; the apart apartment - ment apartment is a square of about seven feet, and a small dome rises over it, from which are suspended twenty-seven large silver lamps richly chased and of ele elegant - gant elegant workmanship, presents from Rome, of the courts, and religious orders of Europe: these are kept always burning, and cast a flood of light on the sacred tomb, and the paintings hung over it, one Romish and other Greeks, repre representing - senting representing our Lord's ascension and his appearance to Mary in the garden. - A Greek or Romish priest always stands here with the silver vase of Holy in incense - cense incense in his hand, which he Sprinkles over the pilgrims. Wishing to see the behavior of those people, who come from all parts of the world, and undergo the severest difficulties to arrive at this holy spot, we remained for some time within it, and the was very in interesting. - They - teresting. - They interesting. - They entered, Armenians, Greeks, and Catholics, of both sexes, with the deepest awe and veneration, and instantly fell on their knees: some, lifting their eyes to the paintings, burst into a flood of tears; others pressed their heads with fervor on the tomb and sought to embrace it, while the sa sacred - cred sacred incense fell in showers, and was received with delight by all. It was impossible for the looks and gestures of repentance, grief, nnd adoralion, to be apparently more heart-felt and sincere than on this occasion. - Yet other feel feelings - ings feelings were admitted by some who took advantage of the custom of placing beads and crosses on the tomb to be sanctified by the holy incense, to place a large heap on it of these articles, which being sprinkled and rendered in inestimable, - estimable, inestimable, they afterwards carried to their native countries, and sold at a high price.

Indian notion of Writing. - " Brother Moses M.

One day* I was observed by an Indian recording some remarks in my journal. He ap approached - proached approached ine, and for some time very minutely observed the process; then, pointing to what was written, he inquir inquired, - ed, inquired, ' What do those marks mean ?' I endeavored to give him some general ideas of the nature and advantages of writing; after which he paused in a silent meditative mood for some consid considerable - erable considerable time, and then said, 'This art gives yon white men a great advantage over us Indians ; for you have a better, a safer record for your notions than we? Then to exemplify and illustrate the Subject he said, - You go about your work, and then you find a good notion, you get your book, and (hen you pot your notion away safely, and you can always have it when yon want it wbut me go and hunt; me think and think in the woods till me find goo,/ notion. Ah ! me glad ; me take good care me notion. Me see Buck!' Here he went through all (he motions of (he whole affair of shooting, bleeding, and preparing his buck for packing; and affected as much anxiety, interest and emotion, as though it were all a reality. After he had gone quite through the whole, he af affected - fected affected suddenly, and for the first time, to recollect his new notion, as he styled it; and with an expression of deep re regret - gret regret exclaimed, ' Me notion all gone I And if me go and Iwk where me drop me notion, me no find he there : he all, all gone : no, never poor Indian find him.

" Europe in 1825. - A forcible and intel intelligent - ligent intelligent French writer, in what he siyles " A political review of Europe in 1825," briefly sums up his reflections as follows: " France, without any fixed position, placed between her ancient and new regime, and yielding to her old preju prejudices - dices prejudices ; Italy waiting impatiently for the moment of throwing off hers; (he civil civilized - ized civilized portion of Spain reduced to silence and despair by (hat portion which re remains - mains remains in barbarism ; Austria preserving the model of a hoppy state of servitude ; Prussia ignorant how to reconcile her political existence with her civil state; the Polanese spirit surviving Poland; Germany forever busy with the rights of the people and the rights of kings, discussing every thing, and determining nothing ; Russia instructing Europe in Asiatic obedience ; Turkey crouching, at length, to the acclamations of a civilized people; Greece rising from her ruins, and resuming her rank among the no noblest - blest noblest nations; Sweden inarching, with a wise and ste iAv - p, teward- her new destinies.; Denmark unmoved amidst the
