RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The advices brought by the packet ship N.
York. Capt. Bennett, from the seat of war in
the east. are important, though not unexpec-
ted. The Russian army through the whole
line of its operations, is on the retreat, unless
perhaps before Varna; though the London
Sun had received ut a quarter past on the
18th, advices from Frankfort to the 9th, say
ing that it was a current report on Change
that day, that the siege Of Varna was raised,
and that the Russian army was in full retreat
to the Danube Previous accounts from
that fortress via Odessa, spoke Of its reduc-
ton with confidence. and 1t was reported that
the Captain Pacha had offered to retire il he
could be allowed to do it unmolestcd. This
report was believed by none in London; but
on the contrary, that the Russian army be-
fore that place was ia wretched condition.
The Turks are now on the Offensive,and Hus-
scin Pacha at the head Of 1000 men. is in
fnllpursuit on their retreat from ShOumla.-
1t was confidently expected that he would
bring his forces upon the retreat of the Rus:

BURNING TO DEATH.

The late shocking instances of females
having been burnt to death, renders the
knowledge of a discovery lately published
by sir Richard Philips, in the Monthly Ma
Sazlne. for their total prevention, of the
highest consequence. He deduces from the
principle Of the ascension 0! fire, that ladies
on;sbt TO lie down as soon as they discover
their clothes to be Gu fire; that TIE progress
Of tie flames will by that means instantly
be checked and may be easily and deI;bcr-
atr!y cxtineuished without any fatal injury,
as usual, to the head, face, bosom and
throat. He proves his principle by the
following experiment; he took two slips of
printed cotton, yard long, and on lighting
one Of them at the lower end, and holding it
perpendicularly. it was consumed to a Gin
der in the fifth OF a minute, and the volume
OF flame was so great as to rise nearly two
feet. He then lighted az exactly similar
piece OF cotton and laid it horzontaIv on
Iiatr OF tongs. 50 as to lie hollow, and in
this situation it was FIVE minutes burning,
and the flames. at no one time, assembled
an inch IN height, and might have been ex-
tinguished By the thumb and finger. This
PLAN and easy experiment ought to be read
IN the presence Of the females of every
family, OLD .3hnanack.

POETRY

Ills vain that gay companions call
Me to their haunts Of social glee-
lis vain that beauty in their thrall
Should seek to lead my heart from thee
Oh! think not can e'erforget
The dream that's past since first we met.
To thee when breaks the morning dawn
My earliest thoughts imprisoned turn
low 'rd thee 'til days last light is gone,
As ardently my heart dotl, burn;
And through the nights deep hours of rest
In dreams, thine image haun,s my breast.
In thee alone, through veal or woe,
My fondest hopes must centre still
From only thee my heart can know
Its dearest good--its darkest i'll;
And though by fate's unkindness crushed,
Its every pulse is thine, till hush'd. N.

From the Poems off, Conder.

STANZAS
Louise you wept, that morn of gladness
Which made your Brother best,
And tears of halfreProachfll sadness
Fell on the Brdegroom's vest:
Yet pearly tears were those, TO gem
A Sisters bridal diadem.
No words could half SO well have spoken,
What thus was deeply shewn
BY Natures simplest, dearest token,
How much was then my own;
Endearing her for whom they fell,
And Thee, for having loved so well
But now no more-nor let Brother.
Louise, regretful see,
That still It's sorrow to another,
That he should happy be.
Those were, trust, tine only tears
That day shall cost through coming wears.
'Smile with US. Happy and light-hearsed,
We three the time will while,
And when sometimes season parted
Still think Of US, and smile
But come to US in gloomy weather;
Wen weep, when we must weep, together
