splendor, and taste about the country seats
in ali directions that is surpassed by few
places in America. The land is in the high

appeared that were laid out and dressed in
the most beautiful manner. asked myself
can it be that these beautiful fields and
gardens-the tasteful houses encompassed
with fine shade-trees, and all this rich land
scape which shows so much refinement, are
the possessions Of those barbarians of whom

matter of course. As for the organization
and internal management of the country, it
is to be hoped that Capo d'Istra will be able
by a wise administration to avoid those civil
wars, which there was so much reason to
fear would follow, if all danger from the
Turks was at an end, and any one party at
tain supremacy. Capo d'Istra is Greek
of great abilities, and was confidential min

THE TWO TRAVELLERS.
A TRUE STORY.


The Coupe of the Paris and Hayre Dill
gence on certain time was occupied by
three persons one of them, Mr.. Malaquet,
a shopkeeper in the rue Saint Martin, ard
fat and stupid, slept very constantly, and
talked very little. A lady enyeloped in her
travelling cloak, and Mr.. Lussac, gascon,
and of course great talker, were the other
two. The latter very adroitly insinuated
that he was bearer ola considerable sum in
bank notes, half which, he observed belong
ed to rich merchant who had given him
orders to purchase a quantity of colonial
produce, (which intimated that he was trust
worthy) the other half, he said it was his
intention to vest in a country-house, in ten
der care of the health of Madame LisSSacs-
which further signiied that he was snug
man. Mr.. Malaquet was less communica-
tive: that he was going to Havre was GER
tain; but that was all he chose to make
known.
After passing PontoiSe,, the horses of the
Diligence were changed, and the Conduct
eur asked our travellers to alight, and walk
up a hill just ahead, to which they consept-
od-the lady, of course remaining behind.
Surprising there was steep hill to ascend,
our travellers we're not alarmed at the Dill
genee's preceding them; and although II

all the Sciotes, scattered through Greece,
strained every nerve and contributed all
they could merchants wound up their con-
Germs, gave their money into the common
stock, and shouldered a musket, prepared
to start and risk their lives for the delivery
Of their native island. An expedition, CON
slstlng of 1900 irregular and 1000 discipIin-
ed men, sailed under the command of Col.
F'abvler, with every necessary equipment
all the expenses of which were paid by the
voluntary sacrifices of the Sciotes and a
few days before left Greece, we heard of
their safe debarkment upon the island with
every prospect of effecting it's conquest.
The Candiotes also were getting up an
expedition for the conquest of the island /;
and if the Turkish fleet is prevented from
going to succour it, Gambia, almost equal to
the Morea in importance) must in few
months be in the hands of its rightful mas
tiers.
You have doubtless heard of the brilliant
affair at Salona, where Hastings entirely
destroyed seven Turkish vessels and OBJ
tanned complete mastery of the gulf of Co.
rinth.
Thus you will see, that though the origin

been exhausted by seven years. struggle
with their powerful enemy-though the
country has been wasted, the crops destroy
ed, and the villages burned, and, what is
worse, broils and civil wars almost continu-
ally kept up by the guilty intrigues of the
selfish and avaricious chiefs, still the spirit
of the people though bruised is not broken;

HYDROSTATICS.

PRESSURE BY DEPTH. In any fluid, the
particles that are below, bear the weight of
those that are above, and therefore is a
pressure among them increasing in exact
proportion to the perpendicular depth.
The striking effects from the increase of
pressure in a fluid, at great depths, are of
course most commonly exhibited at sea.
The following instances will illustrate
them:
If strong square glass bottle, empty, be
be firmly corked, and then sunk in water
it is generally crushed inwards by the ex-
IRENE pressure, before it reaches depth
of ten fathoms.
A man who dives deep suffers much by
the. compression of his chest, from the
yielding of the elastic.a air within, under the
strong pressure. This limits the depth to
which divers can safely 60.
1t is not known whether there is a limit
to the pressure which fishes can bear with
apunity, but they are daily found living
in the shallow waters on coasts, or on banks
in the midst of the ocean, such as the hanks
Of Newfoundland, the Dogger-bank, and
other fishing stations out at sea.
The pressure in any part of an open 1luld
operates equally in all directions. ii a
corked bottle be sent down into the sea,
the cork is forced inwards at a given depth,
without regard to the direction in which
the mouth of the bottle may happen to
point A bottle cork carried far under wa,
ter, is not hattened as if by an unequal
pressure, but is reduced in all its dlmen-
sions, SO as to appear phial cork.

CHARACTER or THE TIIRKs

Extract from an Historical Discourse. entitled
: Inc Establishment Of the Thr KS an EuroDe.''
The primitive character of the Turks is a
simple one it is that of the pastoral or war
IKE nations; they are by turns cruel and
mercliul easily excited to combat, but with
dlfhculty induced to labor, equally pleased
amidst the tolls of war, or the luxury of re-
pose. In their mode ofliying, they are tenn
perate and even abstemious; implicit follow
ers OF their prophet, and naughty despisers
OF other institutions. BY nature, they are
frank, candid and sincere; but too barba-
rous to consider properly the obligations of
treaty, or the sancity of promise. more
especially with regard to nations OF. a differ
ent faith. Venality seems to have been
long blotupon their character. Integrity is
the virtue OF extreme simplicity or extreme
refinement: the Turks soon passed the one
point, and never reached the other. Yet al
though the possession of rich empire has
tended greatly to corrupt their manners,
the noble nature of the savage is still per-
ceptlble, the generosity of the Turk is spon-
taneous: and even his injustice, though
violent, has something which savors of har-
dlhood and grandeur. The Turks appear
TO be distinguished from the nations which
occupy the rest of Europe in nearly every
circumstance. The ample folds of their
garments, their shorn heads covered bv a
turban, their long boards, their stately bear
ing, form direct contrast with the trim
dress and coXcomb fashions of our christina
communities. Nor is there less difference
IN substance than in outward appearance.
The Turk is moved by few passions, and
those few carry him straight to their object:
II ne IS covetous, he seiaes The possessions
OF those who are weaker than he is; ifhe is
ia!morous: he buys and shuts up in his serag-
Ito the object of his love. His life is simple,
tranquil, dull, we should say, when not
moved by the great passions of our nature.
Inc busy motion of commerce, the disin-
terested ardor of science, the continual de-
sire OF distinction, the slow advancement of
patient industry, the passion for notoriety,
and the favor of what is called public opin-
lon' are the wheels upon which the great
machine of civilized society is moved for
ward they are all unknown to, or despised
by, the Turks.

EDUCATION in NEW ENGLAND.

The Schools of New England have long been
the theme of eulogium. The general intelli-
gence of our yeomanry has often been compli-
mented in the most fattering terms of pane
gyr1c. Take as one illustration the following
extracts from Discourse of the Hon. G. F.
Mercer, member of Congress from Virginia
"Travel with me to the east, and behold
them on the land and on the ocean. We
have already surveyed their well cultivated

and tasteful dwellings-see what neatness
and order every where pervades them. Be-
hold those intelligent children, each ofwhom,
if old enough to have passed through the
neighboring school, can cheer the family
circle, by reading, in turn, some instructive
or amusing volume from the village library,
when the rain poars down too heavy for
uncovered labor, or winter has suspended
for while its operations. The father and
his oldest sons feel an interest in the public
welfare, of which the village newspaper,
that circulates through every horse, bears
ample testimony. Converse with him, or
wait but moment,-for knowledge is in
quisitive,-and he will himself address you.

CRADLES. A writer in Southern paper,
condemns in strong terms the practice OF
mothers and nurses in rocking infants in
cradles. He says, "The infant, instead Of
being suffered to lie quietly in common 5ed
or little crib, and sleep when it wants to
sleep, and freely play with its little arms
and legs, when awake is from he day of
its birth, accustomed to this see-saw motion
which is as much at variance with the die
tates Of nature as of common sense. A habit
of being rocked is thus created which be-
comes difficult afterwards to be dispensed
with. The little being is almost smothered
in this confined machine, and often becomes
feeble and puny, though born plump and
healthy. Its infant brains are kept in a
continual vertigo; and if they do not be-
come completely added, it is owing to the
mercy of Providence and not to the care OF
its nurse. Hence it has been observed, that
infants who have undergone habitual rock
ing, have notthat sweet, smiling and intelll-
gent look which distinguish those who have
never been subject to it. They have sori
of wild glaring stare. There is no 'specu-
taltion in their eyes,: and they are mucl
later in developing their mental powers, i
indeed they ever do enjoy the fall exercise
of them"
