The balance OF the sinking lund, after
paying the interest OF The funded deol,
and providing for the annual reimburse
ment of the E per cent deferred stock,
has not, in this estimate been considered
as a charge upon the Treasury before
the year 1925, as The price OF the pubic

chase within the rates prescribed by law.
This estimate is below that winch Is
required for 1872 /, but IS believed TO be
less than the annual expenditure which

TURKEY.

The advfces from Turkey are still contra
dictory. A communication from Bucharest
states, that Turkish army of considerable
strength has crossed the Danube, driven back
Theodore, who was unable resist, and occa-
pied the capital of Wallachia. The Turks,
on entering the city, are said to have observ-
ed the strictest discipline. The last accounts
from Wallacha, dated ed of May, represent
the army of Ypsilanti as receiving considera-
bic reinforcements Of. volunteers; and letter
from Athens furnishes narrative of the in
surrection in the Morea and neighbouring
provinces but most Of the particulars have
been already before the publick. 1t would
appear that the Turks retain possession Of not
more than seven or eight fortified towns and
castles. The peasantry Of Attica, Greeks and
Albanians, are in arms, and have raised the
standard Of Greece in the village Of Menidi,
three leagues from Athens. They have been
joined by the inhabitants Of Salamis, and diff
ferent villages Of the isthmus The Turks
have retired into the citadel Of Athens, and

PIKE COUNTY, (PA. JULY 10.
A melancholy accident occurred a
few Sundays ago in this neighbourhood.
A young gentleman, with his sister and
her husband, set out 10 visit sick neigh
bour; but, by the persuasion of the la
dy, changed their visit into party of
pleasure, in a canoe, on mlll-pond,
called Yunker's pond. After rowing a
short distance, the lady's brother thought
to have little sport with his sister by
rocking the canoe. Unluckily it upset,
and he, not being able to swim. sunk to
bottom, and was drowned. The lady
was supported for some time by her
husband, but finding that if he continued
with her, they must both be inevitably
drowned, he left her, and swan ashore /;
and by the assistance of other boats. she
was, in the last struggle, rescued from
watery grave. Much has been said,
and, it appears, much may still be said,
on the IMPROPERLY of spending the Sab
bath in recreation. The numerous ac-
cldents which are almost continually &C.
curing, ought to admonish parents to
be careful how they train up their chill
dren as respects the observance of the
Sabbath, If they will place them un-
der no further restraint, it is to be hop
ed they will set them the example of
attending place of worship !. if not,
that they will at least remain at home

.fhotker Cordeka.-There came TO-
this city, last week, person having the
outward garb of a man, but who, from a
variety OF circumstances, gave proof of
belonging to the other SEX. She was
about 10 years of age, with very deli
cate features, light eyes, and dark hair;
her voice was very soft and feminine
and she had, what the ladies would call.
a fine form. Her manners indicated
that she had been brought up in genteeI
society. She prevailed upon Mrs.
Stoughton Beckwith to cut her hair.
who was ignorant of her sex. She stat
ed that she came here for the purpose
OF going to sea; but finding no vessels
but whalemen fitting out, determined to
try her fortune at New-York. With
this intention, she engaged passage in
a smack which sailed on Friday; but
the wind coming ahead, the smack re-
turned; and, although she engaged to be
on board the next morning at six o'clock,
she has not since been heard of. She
persisted in declaring herself man, and
that she belonged to Hartford county,
thls young woman appeared to be one
OF those hapless females, whom sorrow
had marked for. its own. A heavy load
lay at her heart. Perhaps some perfid-
ious wretch of our own sex, the tyranny
OF parents, or unretnrned love, has been
the cause Of this attempt 20 act the he
rome. But, whoever she is, or whatev-
er may be the cause Of her mysterious
conduct, should these lines meet her eve.
we would suggest to her the propriety
of returning to her proper character, to
seek in soatude the enjoyment of that
love and that peace, which she will look
Cor in vain in the busy scenes oflife.
