Shatisg the Head isr Beabd bt the iuciEST Egyptians — - " The Egyptians , " sajs Herodotus , " only let the hair of their head and iezxd grow in moonnngj being at aD other times liaved ; " which agrees perfectly with the authority ef the Bible , * and of the sculptures . So particular , indeed ,- were they on this point , that to have ueg-^ £ eted it was asnbject of reproach and ridicule ; and TheneTer they intended to convey the idea of a rnarj f low condition , or a slovenly person , the artists ^ represented him with & beard . It is amusing to find , fiat their loTe of caricature was not confined to the
tower orders , but extended exen to the King ; ana fi * negligent habits of Remeses VII . are indicated a the tomb at Thebes , bv the appearance of his dan , blaexened by an unshorn beard of two or three fays' growth . Bat it was likewise giTen as the test if hardships undergone in a severe campaign ; and lie warlike character of Remeses the Great is Jointed out in the same manner . The Egyptians fid not confine the privilege of shaving to free-born dtizeKs , like the Romans , who obliged slaves to wear flidr beards and hair long , and only permitted them te nse of a cap after they had been enfranchised ; » 4 tbongh foreigners , who were bronght to Egypt ailav 5
»« a , had beards on their arrival in the country , Te find that so soon as they were employed in the lemee of this civilised people , they were obliged to eoaform to the cleanly habits of their masters : their beards and heads were shaved , , and they adopted a cbse cap . The priests were remarkable for th ' eir fcTe of cleanliness , which was carried so far that the } ikaved tie whole body every three days , and per-Ibrmed frequent daily ablutions , bathing twice a da \ ad twice daring the ni ght . It was not confined to Uiar order ; every Egyptian prided himself on the -tteoaragemeht of bablfcs which" it was considered a fegrace to neglect ; we can , therefore , readily
actotmt for the disgust they felt on seeing the sqnalio Jppearanee ^ nd" nmefined habits of their Asiatic Wiguboure , whose long beards were often the subject tf ridicule td the Egyptian soldier , and for their wborreace of the bearded and long-haired Greeks , whish was so great , that , according to Herodotus , bo Egyptian of either sex would , on any account , ass Ac ups of a Greet , make use of his tnife , hiB *^ u » d cauldron , or taste the meat of an animal * Kch had been / slaughtered by his hand . ' The same MBit ! of cleanliness are also indicated by the * chan g e Wndmenr' givfen by Joseph + to his brethren , when h » j ket ont to fetch their father to Egypt . Barbers
fc » J be considered as the offcpring of civilizatjon ; « M a « a Roman youth , when arrived at the age of uoakwa , cut off his beard , and consecrated it to Rise deity , as a token of his having emerged from * « ate of childhood , so a people , nntil they have * "o pted the custom of shaving , may be supposed to tttiin a remnant of their early barbarism . The wnan * , at first , like other people , allowed theft « wi 3 to grow , until about 454 years after the wildin g of the city , ( 299 B . C . ) when P . Ticmius -Mena , having 'bronsiit barbers from Sicily ,
introtoced the cn-stom to Rome ; and , as Pliny state ? , Sdpio Africanns was the first Roman * w > shaved every day . ' They resembled *« £ Egyptians rather than the Greels in ™» reject , and in the habit of allowing the ** ir of the head and beard to grow m monraing ^ Gree ks , on tie contrary , shaving themselves on «* e occasions . The prejndice of these last in aTOQj » f long hair geems to be retained to the pre-•» t day ; for , though the modern Greeks have wopted a . motlem enstom , and wear the red fax of
tte coast of Barbary , they have remained insensible b the comfort and cleanliness of shaving , and have f teferred the inconsistency of coverine . the bead with 1 close cap , and cherishing the growth of long hair . With the Egyptians it was enstomary to shave the ^ adsofevenyoongcha dren . leavingonlyceriainlocks * the front , sides , and back ; and those of the lower Masses were allowed to go ont in the « m with the ^ ad exposed , without the protection of a cap ; "which 3 the reason assigned by Herodotus for theharcl *» ofthe Egjptian . skills compared with those of "fcerpeoplev—Wilkinson ? a Manners and Ctutomz $ the Ancient Egyptian * .

. Pl ^ ATICAl HASITS OP THE OLD SoANDINi-¦ VtiKB ^—^ Varioos causes have been enumerated by l&torians as having contributed to produce tbe roving < sj > editions of the Scandinavians . Among the most obvious of these may be reckoned that restless predatory spirit and love of wild adventure which mark tie character of all maritime nations in theinfancy of -emlization . In the North tbe occupation of a p ' pate , like that of a robber among the Arabs , was deemed not only lawful but honourable . These natural motives of fame and cupidity are alleged to have been strengthened by a usage then prevalent , in compliance with whieh aportinn of the inhabitants were periodically expelled by forceas the increase
, of population outgrew the means of sobgistanee , whiehin those barren regions , was chiefly confined to fishing and die chase , or the produce of their flocks . The Norman chronicles , in Trance , men-Tion an old Scandinavian custom , by which the eldest son inherited the patrimonial estate , whilst the younger was compelled to have recourse to jjiracy ; an 3 , when a father had several children , it was determined by lot whieh of them should be his heir . The others were then obliged to seek an estaWsbiBentbeyond the seas . Sometime * the succession to the throne was divided equallj between two or more bobs , who agreed to reign alternately for a specififd period , one part over the land , and the rest thedeean
over , but all with tbe title of kings . The yonnger branches of royalty , tbe sons of Jarlsand ehids , looked upon the waves as their only inheritance , and endeavoured to collect from the lower orders adventurers as brave and destitute as themselvts . These noble and gallant youths , ere they had pacsed tbe years of boyhood , were provided , at their father ' s expense , with a small fleet , manned ^ by a hardy crew , who sought no reward but glory and * poil , and who mutually engaged never to return unless adorn td wiih laurels and loaded with plunder . A * the mechanical arts weredespised , and tbe learn - ed professions naknown , the practice oi sea-rovinp became the favourite pursuit . It possessed the interest of romance , and was surrounded with all the lustre of chivalry , so that it might be said to form-not only the most lucrative occupation but the
most graceful accomplishment of tbe princes and chieftains of that heroic age . Tbe Vst and bravest of the land were thus launched and living upon the waters ; and so much had they increased , that , the days of Ragnor Lodbrok , the Danes were , perhaps , more numerous on sea than on shore ; so that , according to one of their own historians , they resembled a nation of marines , wearing the habit of sailors , that they might " be ready to embark at the first signal . " No appellation could be more appropriate to such adventurers than that of sea-tings : " And they are rightly so named , " says the author of the Ynglinga Saga , " who never seek shelter under a smoky roof , and never drain their drinkinghorn at a cottage fire .

A ifcuM ' TJN . —This expression is not yet forty years old ; and though it was norsed in London , and served its apprenticeship in Gloucestershire , where it was born , it haa ' long wrought journey work in Staffordshire . Joaas Bell ' , a eountry schoolmaster , near IHinchinhampton , had a pupil so remarkably stupid , that , when he found it necessary to exhibit his abilities before the lady patroness at a fixed txamination , he selected the most familiar words to eomtnen ^ e bis analysis Upon ; the first was
M-I-L-X;— 'And what does that spell ? ' said Jonas . Don ' t know , ' said the lad . ' What does your mother put into her tea ? ' eaid Jonas , quite cock-siire of bis answer . ' Rum , sir , ' replied the promising youth . The lady patroness vanished , Jonas Bell was bothered , and the boy was pleased with h « own sharpness ; but it soon became a matter among the sparks in Gloucestershire , when recommended to the favour of a young lady , first of all to inquire if she was ' awm ' sa .

Amongst the many things that Jack recollected , he mentioned his having seen -lying fish . ' Stop , Johnny / said his mother , don't tell me such things as that , tel ) me of what you have really seen ; for as to flying fish , I could a 3 £ oon believe v . ou had seen
flying ' cows ; ' and Jack saw that wonders of this sort , though very true , were quite out of his mother ' s way , so he immediately changed his tack . 1 Perbaps , mother , ' says he , ' you wont believe me , when 1 tell you , that casting anchor once in the -Red Sea , it wag with difficulty that we hove it tip again ; when we did , what should we find hanging . at the end of it but an old wheel . It was a strange old thing to look at , so we hoisted it in . Well , our captain , yon see , being a scholar , overhauled him , and discoTsred that it was one of Vharoah ' s chunotvsheelt when he was capsizt din the Red Sea . ' ' Ab , well now , Johnny , ' says she , ' 1 can believe this , because we read of this in the Bible ; but never talk to me any more tiboutjltfingjisfi . '

. "Wan ? . op Evidence . — There is a pleasant anecdote told of the late Reverend Judge Peters , who was no less known for the integrity of his legal decisions than for his witticisms . The crew of a ¦ vessel brought into his court a complaint , alleging the nnwhole 8 omeness of the provisions laid in for the voyage , and claimed damages for this misusage . One ' of the evidences in support of tbe charge was an apparently mouldy sea biscuit . The ' opening cbnijsel produced this" during bis exordium , and it wasTiandea incidentally to the judge . The cause
proceeded in due form , and when the defendant's cooxsel was proceeding with the citation of proofs to sustain hjB client ' s cause , the mouldy biscuit was not to be fonnd . ; great . reliance was placed on this ; it had , however , unaccountably disappeared . At 3 aagtb .--one of the jurymen reminded the counsel he had handed it to the judge , who it appears , little by fittle , "W i the causejroceeded , had inadvertently eaten . it / Bp . , The hearty langh was irrepressible , and itwere needless perhaps to add the complainants were foiled in the prosecution ; evidently a spite action against tEnf captain " and owners .
I ^ oed Howe . —When Admiral Lord Howe was % captain , a lieutenant , not remarkable for courage ox presence of mind in dangers ( common fame had broughteome imputation upon bis character ) , ran to die great cabin and Informed ' his commander that th > ship was ' on fire near the ' gun-room .

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE . Mark-Lane , Monday , August 20 . _ The weather . has been mostly favourable for harvest operations since this day se'nnight , the rain which fell on . TnurBday and Friday nighte not preventing field work the following days . There were some showers about yesterday ,. and it does not appear quite ao settled now ; A- fair supply of Wheat Svas on sale this morning from Essex , ' but the quantity was moderate from Suffolk and Kent , and limited of all spring corn from these counties , with only a moderate freah arrival of QaUi , as well English and Scotch as : Irish . There was a considerah ; e proportion of new Wheat in this day ' s supply , mostly from Essex , and a few samples iirom Ke . ' ntj quality good , a few parcels damp , and a ' though generally heavy by no means ¦ a handsome aaniple , the ukinbeing coarse-, the weight , however , willrun from 62 to 64 lbs per imperial bushel . The Wheat trade was dull for all sorts , old being 4 s * er qr cheaper , and new selling at from 70 s'to 74 s per qr for the best runs , a few
interior parcels rather lower and selected lots at somewhat more money . Flour was without any alteration in value . Ther ; were several samples of new Barley at marliet to-dayof heavy quality , taken by our diatiUers' at about 37 s per qr for good , rather more for a choice and kindl y lot or two ; old grinding in consequence was difiicult of sale , and lower . Malt was m slow request and rather cheaper . Beans were much the Bame as last week , fine qualities being held high . Peas were without alteration in value ; . a few new were at market . There were aeyeral lots of new Oats on the market from Essex and Kent , good useful corn , ' but not > ery heavy .

From i . uf , ¦' . £ ? « " « m-Packets , about 30 horntd and polled Scots , and ISO Steep and Lambs have been transmitted , the general quality ut which has b-en prime . The . prices of . meat , notvvuhstarnhn j ! the falling ofl' in the suppliea that arrive from Scotland , are ¦ still very low in these markets .
