" An Indian woman, and her child, who was abont meen
years old, were tie:veiling along the beach to a camp a few MHOS
distant. The boy observed some wild grapes growing upon the
top of the hank, and expressed such a string desire to obtain
then], that his mother, seeing a ravine at a little distance, by
which she thought she could gain the edge of the precipice, re-
solved to gratify him. Ileving desired him to remain where be
was, she ascended tine steep, and was ellured much farther into
the woods than she at first intended. in the meantime, the
wind began *to blow vehemently; but the boy wandered care-
lessly along the beach, seeking for shells, till the rapid rise of the
lake remieted it inipivoible for him to return to the spot where
he had been left by his mother. Ile immediately isel;an to cry
aloud; and she, being on her return, heard him, but instead of
descending the ravine, hastened to the edge of the precipice,
from the bottom of which the noise seemed to proceed. On
looking down, she beheld her son struggling with the waves,
and vainly endeavouring to climb up the bank, which was fifty
feet perpendicular height. alai very slippery. There being no
possibility of rendering him a,dieance, she was on the point of
throwing herself down the steep, wlen she saw him catch hold
of a tree that had fallen into the lake. and mount one of its most
projecting branches. lie set astride upon this, almost beyond
the reach of the surges, while she continued watching him in an
agony of grief—hesitating whether she should endeavour to find
her way to the camp and procure assistance, or remain near her
boy. However, evening* was now about to close, and as she
could not proceed through the woods it the dark, she resolved'
at least to wait till the moon rose. She sat on the top of the pre-
cipice a whole hour, and during that time occasionally ascer-
tained that her son was alive, by hearing his cries amidst the
roaring of the waves; hut when the :noun appeared, he was not
to be seen. She now felt convinced that he was drowned, and,
giving way to utter despair, threw herself on the turf. Presently
she heard a feeble voice cry (in Indian)—" Mamma, Pin here ;
come antlehelp me!" She started up, and saw her boy scramb-
ling upon the edge of the bank : she sprang forivard to catch his
hand, but the ground by which he held giving way, he was pre-
cipitated into the lake, and perished among the rushing billows."

HIGH WYCOMBE AUXILIARY BIBLE

SOCII3I.

Thursday, the 11th of October, the tenth Anni-
versary Meeting of the Auxiliary Bible Society of
High Wycombe and its neighbourhood, was held in
the Town Hall, Iligh Wycombe, Colonel TILSON in
the Chair. The Rev. Dr. 'Noun: and the Rev. Mr.
Hucat ES attended as rept esema ti yes of the Parent So-
ciety, of which the latter is one of the Secretaries,
The proceedings of the day t<ere highly gratifying
to the Assembly, and various satisfactory particulars
were stated in the Report, which was read at the com-
mencement. It appears that of the ten years tli.a the
Auxiliary has been formed, in none, except the first
and eighth, have so many copies been disposed of as
in the last. The number is more than four time; as
great as the year before. This ati,es from a real de-
mand for the Scriptures, for, with the exception of a
small grant to the Workhouses, fewer have been dis-
tributed &alai:6l4lly in the I:Lt year by the Auxi-
liary, than any year since its formation. The 'trea-
surer's account was also satisfactory. The Report
announced a somewhat larger remittance to the
Parent Society than had been made the year before;
and any increase is the more gratifying, because the
formation of another Auxiliary, in the centre of the
county, has considerably narrowed the sphere of the
operations of that for High Wycombe; so that the in-
come improves rather than falls cif, though the sources
from which it is derived, from the happy examsion of
the Parent Society's connexions, are less numerous
than they once %vete. The sum ;emitted fiom Amers-
ham, also, was greater the last year thnn the pre-
ceding. 'That from Marlow was mo:e than douhle,
and exceeded any former remittance, except the fist
year's. The Report also stated, that the collection
after the Meeting at the preceding Anniversary, was
considerably linger than the year before; and ex-
pressed a hope that the p: cc ceJ ings on the present
occasion would he followed by a similar and farther
increase, to be reported at the next Meeting. The hint
was not thrown away, as triis was actually the case.
It is gratifying to observe that a Society, which is only
objected to where it is not understood, which occa-
sions no jast regrets except where it is excluded, and
which is always most liked where it is best known,
• continues thus to prosper and increase.

AMERICAN DELUSION.—The following grave rela-
tion is copied from the American Natirmal Go;:elletX
the latest date:
44 One of the most remarkable instances with which we :re
acquainted of the illusion produced by theatrical exhibitions, oc-
curred in a small town in Maryland, several years ago. In the
evening of a day on which a militia muster had been held at the
town, Othello was perfoimed in a bat n by a strolling company of
players. A piece of canvas was let Cowu before the door, and a
centinel, one of the train bands, stationed at it with a loaded
musket, in order to prevent a gratuitous gaze front tip outside,
and the irruption of unruly persons. The man contrived to put
his head in from time to tint:, ;aid to catch thus the intrigue of
the play. Ile was tibi..rved to he occasionally much agitated
daring the third and fourth acts, but the cause was not suspected.
Suddenly, just asthe Moor isabouL to stifle iVea./eniona,he turned
impetuously in, levelled his piece at the actor, alai shut him dead,
exclaiming with fury, No shall ever murder a
white woman in my presence, if I can help it We have this
anecdote ft am an eye-witness, a Gentleman of unquestionable
veracity, who attests, that the peor centinel was not intoxicated,
and hati the reputation of good nature and good conduct."

THE GREEK PuiNcEs.—Theie ate -six families of
more note titan the rest among the Greeks, their
names are Ypsilanti, Marozi, Caliiii chi, Sonar), Hand.
zerby, and Marrocordato. Thee have either aspired
to, or obtained in their tutus, the situation of Hasp°.
dar, or Prince of Wallachia and :`,loidavia. In 1806,
the Porte was persuaded by the French that Ypsilanti
and Alarm', the HospoJars Of the two Provinces,
were in the interest of Russia, and in the mol.th of
September of that year they were remove.!, iionso
and Calimachi being appointed in their rootn, by the
interference of Sebastiani, the French Ambascador.
Marozi, on his recall, came back to Constantinople;
but Ypsilanti went to Russia, and thus brought on his
family the vengeance of the Porte. His father, aged
74 years, who had been four times Prince of Walla.
chin, was beheaded January 1'.5, ISO 7, and he is now
undertaking to revenge himself of the Porte.

The French Mails, which have been so impatiently
looked for, arrived this morning, and at the opening
of the Market the contest between the two hostile
parties commenced with great spirit. Some large
purchases were made by the leaders of the speculation
for a rise, which of course improved the Market; but
large lots of Stock for Money being offered, and not
taken. checked the advance which they were intended
to effect. Upon the whole, however, although the
alteration in price is trifling, the Bulls, we think, have
. the best of it. Consols for Account 78% Buyers,

The whole of the Paris Papers which were in ar-
re:-.r, to Sunday inclusive, have arrived this forenoon.
No.hing appears in them to countenance the report
hick I:as for these few. days been promulgated with
so much confidence, respecting the appointment of
a new Russian .Ambassador to Constantinople; but,
on Cie Lontrary, ail the accounts from those quarters,
most liktly to be well informed on the subject, re-'
present the state of matters betv.een the Russian and
Ottoman Governments, as being Mill involved in,
as much doubt and obscurity as ever.

An article from Nuremberg, of the 26th October,
says:—" According to the last news from Constan-
tinople, no eclaircissement had yet been thrown on
the state of the negotiations b_tween Russia and the
Porte. It was known, indeed, that there were fre-
quent conferences, in v.hich important affairs were
treated of, but nothing more was known. Lord
STRANGFORD was still consulted by the Ministers of
the Porte, and had much influence. The Turks are
often heard demanding .shy the new Russian Am-,
bassador, whose arrival had been so confidently an-
nounced, has not made his appearance—why at least
there is no Charge d'Affaires appointed? In the
meantime, the Divan has taken a resolution which is
of the highest importance. It has prohibited the
troops commanded by the Pada of Broussa, and,
who are now in the environs of the capital, from
leaving their corps to visit home; and declared that
e►isting circumstances will not allow of their return-
ing home daring the ensuing winter. This army was
expected to set out immediately for the Danube."

A Berlin article also of the 26th of October, as-
sures us that Austria has at last succeeded in re-
establishing that bat mony which has been so long
wavering between the Cabinets of St. James and St.
Petersburgh, and that, the latter has pledged itself
not to under take anything against Turkey without
being in pi evions concert with the other Cabinets. If
no Ambassador has been sent to Constantinople, it
'is in pursuance of the same system which has deter-
mined Russia not to send any to Spain and Portugal.
While Turkey thus remains still only under the
threat of an attack from Russia, hostilities have, if
we may credit a statement in one of the French jour-
nals, been actually commenced against it by a power-
ful enemy from an opposite quarter.—" The last
letters horn Constantinople," says the Constitutionnel,
" confirm those which have announced the hostile
nioven:cois of Persia against the Sublime Porte. It
appears that one of the sons of the Shah had ad-
v.mced
against the Paella of Bagdad, at the head of
sixty thousand men."

Accounts have been received at Venice from Trieste,
by two commercial houses,which state that Tripolizza,
the capital of the Peloponnesus, has surrendered by
capitulation to the Greeks. The victors are said to
have found in the place, beside abundance of provi-
sions and munitions of war, a large quantity of money.
The Augsburg journal, in repeating this intelligence,
says, that it is confirmed by advices from various
quarters ; and adds, that the Turkish garrison had
been emir:it ked for Asia.

The Gazelle de Venise says, that " an English ship,
arrived (torn Smyrna at Calamatta, had brought
the news, that all the French and English ships had
unexpectedly quitted that port, without the reason
for it being known. This had given occasion to the
Turkish populace to renew their persecutions against
the Greeks."

The death of the young and courageous Doctor
MAzET, from the contagion at Barcelona, is now
but too certain. He died on the 22d of October.—
The melancholy event is communicated in a letter
from Dr. l'Autsar to his wife, dated Barcelona,
24th October.

MADRID, OCTOBER is.

The accounts received here to-day of the progress
of the epidemic, are not so satisfactory as might have
been hoped.
lu Malaga there had been some persons suspected

of having the contagions fever, but it was generally'
believed that the evil would be estingui,hed, and for
the present no fears were entertained.
ArCadiz, there were only •ague reports among
some people, but, in general, nothing was feared;
and, frem the 10th till the I I th, there had been bu-
ried in that populous city only one child, one woman,
and one man.
