Persian Archers. -
From the accounts we liave of the
Persians, they appear to be astonishingly
expert in the use of the bow, and may
be placed in the first rank of archers.
Chardian says they shoot with. SO Much
accuraey, that they will drive an arrow
into the same hole many times stieless-
ively.; and Mr. Tavernier, who Wee
present at a review of the Persian. Oat
valary in 1654, fullyarms the aSser-
tion of Chardian. His account of the
exhibition is very milieus. The king;
accompanied° by his principal offices,
stood en a portal to one of the royal
gardens whence they viewed the most
: expert and:best-looking of his troops,
who were ordered to Vide singly before
the place where the king was stationed.
The horsemen rode full Sneed, and as
they passed, each man '"shot an arrow
into the turf butt, prepared fpr the oc-
eesien. When the review closed, the
person whose arrow steed nearest the
centre was proniised an. increese, of pay.
There- was one Voreem.au who, riding
in his turn, when he came before the
portal, stopped his horse . and walked
over the plain', conttary to the order
of the general: When he came oppo-
site the batt he refused to shoot his are
row, and only raised his arm in the at-
titude of drawing the bow, The king,
enraged to see his. discipline so grossly
disreearded, ordered his horseand weap-
ons to he immediately taken from him,
bat one of the generalspleaded his cause,
and assured his majesty that he was one
of the beet soldiers in the army, aild
. had fully proved his skill and -courage
a' in the siege of Erivan and, Oanclehar.
" The king then commanded the horse
and arms to be restored, to the cavalier,
and he was ordered to take his turn in
the review, He aCcordingly „advanced
' cryMg out : . " -
"Where would the king have me; to
shoot" , •
"At the target where the other herse-
, men have shot," said one of the gener-
. -
als.
, The soldier, w-ith a smile, said :
"Must I, -thn, direct, my arrows
against a turf"? I would rather point
them at the enemies of my country,
.against whom I would soonee discharge

event, he nation having had enough
o regen, y, the young Queen, although
Only Oeyearaof age, was declared by
the Cortes- to, he of age.' The history
of her reign is well 'knownbile, in
her turn, has been driven out of Spain,
and, in default of an eligible candilate
for the Spanish throne, a Regency has
once more been esta,blished.
Francisco Serrano, the new Regent,
is one of those Many soldiers of fertilise
in Spainwho owes their fame and teak
to the. devotion with which they at-
tached themselves to the,cause of Chris-
tina, and the courage with which they
fought during the •war of independence:
Like many othet-s of his class he was
liberally rewarded by the Queen
Mother, and at the period of her over-
throW in 184l, he already 1,1;11d high

exile did not 4ong retard his advance.
pent, for he took -a" prominent: pa,rt in
the suceessful movement against the
Regent Espartero; and immediately on.
the restoration of Christina he joined
Narvaez in his scheme to combat and.
destroy the influence of the' Minister
Olezagat He- played his cards with so
much skill that hecentinued steadily
to rise at "Court, gaining great influence,
over the mind of the young Queen. An
attempt was made shortly after by the
Duke de Sotomayer to ruin Serrano
politically,i but it recoiled on that
Minister's pwn head, Serrano _succeed-
ing- in overthrowing the Ministry of
which the Duke was chief. Popular
opinion, _however proved more power
ful than royal favor, and Serrano 'sub-
sequently felt with the Ministry of the
Salamanca, with whose fortunes lie
.had identified himself. I1p to this
time the , lucky favorite had been
reactionary in politics but he now oe-
came a Libetal ; and be has ever since
been identified with what is know in A Flea Entertainment,
bit, Great Cape Diamond.
Th4 Cape Standard says:—The legal
inter ct hail of course, defer4ed the
presei1t holders , from sending to Eu-
rope 4e large diamond, the disc very of
whichints caused BO much spec lation.
It is Opcnted that the diamond is to go
-Co England in the steamer, and that it
has Ieeri insured for £30,000. a We
have ieeri assured that the folle ving is
a truer, statement of • the findin of the
Soutll'African Koh-i-noor. Swo tbooy,
the finder, who now lives at St ndfon-
tem, on this !side of the Orange River,
was asked to tell about)the finding of
the diamond, and thereupon he poin-
ting to the opposite side of the rivsr,
said: 'Do von see the hill there' altout
•,
300 yards *from the river, with t hut
on it?' Swartbeoy then r joined
'That is my hut; I am a Griqua, and I
was living there tweet two mont s ago,
when one morning I ran out of he•hut
to turn some goats which were s reying
and about 200 yards from the hut, on
the ground,,. I saw a pecu1iar-1 oking
• stone, and on taking it up I xe t con-
vinced it mast be a diamond, al ho' I
had never seen one, I carefully • ut it
away and only showed it to 'a few mu-
tual friends. cautioning them not to
sayanything, lest it should get to
WaterbOor's ears, who would claidit.
Shortly after, I removed to: 114 (the
colonial) side of the river and entered
the service ot iny present employer. I
told him I had a -diamond, for which I
wanted 100 goats or sheep, but I 'did
not produce the diamond, and nuthing
came of my oflraftert1i. 1 one cla:, g .ve
it to my nephew and told him to taste it
Seha.k Nickerd, and ask him what he
.would give for it, I then sold it to
Niekerk for 500 sheep, 10 head of
cattle, and a horse.'

but the revolution ,efcluly in that year
opened the* way for his ratan to Spain,
and he became a warm supporter of

played a prominent part in the coup -

ly' through his instrumentality that the

of:Spanish etatesmen, and by his hearty
