ADAMS AND JACKSON. Yesterday, i'll
the Supreme Judicial Court, now in term in
Cambridge, the following persons were
convicted OF offences, namely-John Id
ans and .4ndrel0 Jackson. 1t appeared by
the representation of the solicitor general,
and by the records of the court, that those
men, for some years past, had been pursu-
ing the same course, and had been tried by
tiieir country. at the Same time, and both
found guilty. adams was sentenced to the
states prison for six years. and Jackson
for his natural life. adams was a white
man, and said to be native of Hassachu-
sells Jackson, colored man, from the
south The coincidence of these facts
was singular, and excited much observation.

GREEKS AND TURKS.
A letter dated Constantinople, Oct. 10Th,
SAYS g Our situation is still the same. The
Porte invariably persists in the principles
which it once proclaimed. On the receipt
of the despatch by which Ibrahim Pacha
announced that he was blockaded by the
Allies and desired fresh Instructions, the
Divan appeared very Indifferent 1t is said,
however, that Ibrahim has received orders
from the Sultan to quit NayaEin and sail for
Patras."
A letter from Riga, of Oct. IA, states
that the Emperor Nicholas was on his way
to Odessa, and was to proceed to the head
quarters of the army destined to act against
the Turks, in case the mediation for the
independence of Greece was not agreed to
at Constantinople.
The report of General Kares to the Greek
Government, dated at the Camp, near
Vostizz, Sept. 80, 1927, says" A Few days
since the brig II Salvatore, two schooners
and a gun boat, entered the Gulf of Lepan-
to, and the same evening, Hastings's steam
vessel and another gun boat followed. This
little national squadron found, near the
roads of Salona, six Turkish vessels, and
some other small ban ks, and three Austrian
merchantmen. This morning after half an
hours fighting, FIVE of the six were burnt
and the other sunk. The small craft shar-
ed the fate of the first. The Austrian yes
sells were plundered. The Turks had
planted battery on the coast, with GOO
men to protect their shipping. Our loss is
only four men killed and wounded"

PREMATURE INTERVENE. During my
stay at St. Petersburg" says Mr.. Holman,
"the following singular story was spoken
of as having occurred at this place Two
gentlemen had contracted a bitter and
irreconcilable enmity against each other.
A servant of one happening to die, was
buried within "a hours, after the Russian
custom, when the other determined to
crafty his revenge upon his adversary by
accusing him of the murder of this man.
TO give color to this accusation, accom-
panied by some ofhis confidential servants,
he proceeded to disinter the corpse, with
view of infictlng marks of violence upon
it. The body was removed from the coffin,
and held erect, that it might undergo a
severe fiogging when, to the establishment
and dismay of the party, after a few blows
had been inflicted, animation returned,
and the affrighted resurrection men ran off
with the utmost precipitation. The corpse
at length recovering its animation, was able
to move off in its shroud, and regain its
masters habitation, which it entered, to
the great terror of its inhabitants. At
length however, his reality becoming GER
tain they were re-assured, and the suppos-
ed ghost communicated all that he could
remember of the state he had been in:
which was that his sense had not left him,
notwithstanding he had felt SO cold and
torpid as to be incapable of speech or mo-
ton, till the blows had restored him. This
led to the detection Of the diabolical plan
against his masters life and character"

DuELLING. We learn that Mr.. ii. w.
Conway, the delegate in Congress from
Arkansas. has been killed in a duel. This
is the third instance III which duels nave
resulted fatally within the last three weeks
We boast of our civilization, OF our lntelll-
pence, and OF our morality as a nation, and
vet we fight more barbarous duels, and
fiuht them more fatally, than the whole OF
Europe. We had hoped the practice was
getting into disuse, and 1t did decline Tor q
time after the great farce OF M'Duflie and
Cumming. But it is unhapplly Teviving IN
all its primitive ferocity. how IS the evil
/ to be remedied? 1t is clear that the COM
mon law is insufficient to reach the object,
and iuries are indisposed TO act with energy.
There has been Il case lately in France, Ill
which the survivor was fined and imprlson-
ed. Louis the Fourteenth put an end to
the practice by giving his consent to a du-
el and promising to attend i'll person, and
witness it. But what was the surprise Of
the parties in tue morning, at finding gal
lows erected upon the spot designated for
the rencontre. On being asked the reason
of such procedure, the monarch replied
that the survivor of the duel was instantly

still more efiectual measure. A challenge
: having passed between couple Of his Off
I GERS, he compelled them to fight and then
hanged the survivor There were no more
aI.eiiaaso= during his reign. In this coun-
try, however, public opinion must put the
e practice down, or there is no remedy. The
u laws are never executed. Why does not
g the Governor Of New Jersey interpose his
5 authority, and save the territory of his state
n from such frequent invasion and pollution .?
L Why not make demand upon the Govern
g ors Of the adjacent states for the surrender
IS of the aggressors? An example of thi
II kind might have beneficial effect

en- in Goodhugh's " English Gentlemen's

not give Thompson farthing for his

guineas for it. Cave offered half the book
sellers in London the property of the
"Gentlemen's Magazine ? and, as they all
refused to engage in it, he was obliged to
publish it himself "Bufnss Justice" was
offered in vain to every publisher for ESQ.

cine" to every principal bookseller of Ed
inburg and London for G100, without OBJ
tanning purchaser; and after it had pass
ed through twenty-five editions, it sold in
thirty-two shares, at ESQ each. Beresford

lied $4,000.

bravery, devotion, and perseverance OF the
officers and soldiers, is beyond all praise !;
they fought with a true heroism, and the
regular infantry of the enemy was over
thrown by the destructive fire of our brave
troops. Our soldiers, without cavalry .or
artillery, have gained a brilliant victory
over the enemy, who had the advantage OF
both and the loss on our side, thanks be
to God, was only IL killed and wounded.

THE WAyERLEY NOVELS. Sir Walter
Scott, in the concluding part of his intro
duction to the Chronicles OF the Cannon
gate" (which are just published has the
following remarks:
have only to repeat, that avow myself
in print, as formerly in words, the sole and
unasssted author of all the Novels publish
eli as the compositions of the Author Of
Waverly.' do this without shame, for
am unconscious that there is amy thing in
their composition which deserves reproach,
either on the score Of religion or morality +;
and without any feeling of exutation, be-
cause, whatever may have been their tempo
rarvsuccess,I am well aware how much their
reputation depends upon the caprice OF
precarious tenure by which it is held as a
reason for displaying no great ayidity in
grasping at the possession. / ought to
mention. before concluding, that twenty
4 persons at least were, either from intimac Y
or from the confidence which circumstan-
: ces rendered necessary, participants of this
/ secret and as there was no instance to my
knowledge, of any one of the number
breaking the confidence required from
them, am the more obliged to them,
because the slight and trivial character OF
the mystery was not qualified to inspire
much respect in those intrusted with it.
