REPRESENTATIONS. Mr.. Eton, in his "Survey
OF the Turkish Empire says the Turks sup
pose that the Persians are very wicked peo-
pie, and will all be damned that they will be
changed into asses in hell. and that the Jews
viii ride on them. They have among them
prophecy, which is likely to contribute to its
own fulillment, viz: that the sons of geLLo,oness
winch they interpret to be the Russians, are to
take Constantinople.
TURKISH HUMANITY. When the inhabitants
OF the Morea formerly took up arms with the
intention of gaining their liberty, the Sultan
on the suppression of the instruction,
to massacre the whole nation, and was with
difficulty dissuaded by Gazi-Hassan by this very
humane argument: " If, said he, ace kill all the
Greeks, ace shall lose all the capttation tax.'

new class. Formerly there was no such
class. Men like those who now compose
1t, would have been termed ignoble and
tlmld souls, and would have been thrown
by, among the refuse of society. None
were counted but those who had swords
and armor on. 1t is not so now. Peace
has more votaries, and they are of more
reputation. The trumpet cannot now make
SO many madmen by its fierce breath as it
could then. There are men who can hear

The work of destruction and death is not
regarded as the great object of life. The
meek and lowly are coming in at length to
their inheritance, the earth-the new earth,
for the old one has passed away.
Of course there has been more domestic
happiness, more domestic security, and
more domestic virtue, since the number
of the peace-makers has increased since
those mild, social, amiable qualities are
more generally cultivated and held in high
er repute, whose peculiar dwelling place
and sanctuary is the domestic circle. The
diffusion Of peaceful sentiments, the general
interchange of good will, the multiplication
of gentle courtesies, have built up more and
stronger and higher defences about the
humble roof" of Christian dwelling, a
Christian home, than moated walls or lord
ly turrets could afford, when rapine walked
abroad with commission to destroy, and
violence was protected in its designs by the
names of honor, courage, and virtue. /

Cruz, and it appears that it has commenced
its tour through the United States, having
commenced at Charleston. In none of the
above mentioned places has it proved fatal.
1t is called in the windward islands the
Dandy fever, in Havana the Dingy (which
is probably corruption of Dengue) and in
Vera Cruz the Petit Fleure, from small red
spots of irregular shape appearing on the
face and body.
1t attacks the patient in different WAYS.
In Vera Cruz it generally commences with
pain in the head and back, with weakness
and nausea and sometimes vomiting, with
desultory pains in the limbs-the febrile
symptoms continue generally 24hours. when
it gives way, but in many cases returns at
irregular periods; in some cases the fever
does not return but leaves the patient weak
and in almost every case lame, with a con-
tinual nausea sometimes for two or three
weeks, but In most cases about week. II
was not an unusual thing in Vera Cruz last
May, to meet an acquaintance in the morn
ing limping on one leg and in the afternoon
limping on the other-one day with a stiff
right arm and the next with the left arm
disabled. The disease attacked me with
violent pain in the head and loins, very
similar to the yellow fever, which have
had five times, but left me in 36 hours with
very slight desultory pain in the limbs ant
weakness.

Law CASES. One day last week we had law
cases by wholesale-no less than round hale
dozen at 4 Justice session. The matter was
this:
Jack and Gin had taken pint of whiskey
Gill swore at Jack, and Jack assaulted Gill on,
to speak in military style, Jack, with a detach,
ment of his fists, drove in the vanguard of CHS
face Whereat, Gill got warrant for Jack,
and brought him up for assault and battery
and Jack got warrant for Gill, and had him
up for swearing-(' Our army swore terribly in
Flanders ")-And so they had one another up
lika fellows of real vengeance. Then besides
Jack and Gill, the principals, there were aces
series, who had little or no principle and they
brought one another up in like manner. Thus
the law was banded back and forth like shut,
tlecock and the matter went on swimmincly,
each one getting his case, until they had spent.
something like ten dollars apiece, all of which
went into the pockets of Justices, lawyers, and
sherifs; and the parties discovered at last, that,
besides being sworn at, assaulted and battered,
! and making themselves ridiculous by legal ex-
posure of their folly, they were each ten dollars
the poorer for the causes they had gained.

CHARACTER OF THE GREEKS. When we
view the Greeks IN their more Uutn.,. .l--------
character as nation, their superiority over the
Turks in knowledge is surprisingly great; thew
possess great degree of genius and invention
and are of so lively an imagination, that they
cannot tell the same story twice without varv-
ing the embellishments of circumstance and
diction. Added to this, both men and women
speak much, and with wonderful volublitv and
boldness, and no people are such natural ora
TORS numbers of them speak Italian, but have
all an activity and sprightliness which strongly
contrasts with the stupid and pompous gravity
of the Turks; an European feels himself. as Il
were, at home with them, and amongst crea-
lures OF his own species, for with Mahometans
there is distance, non-assimilaton, a total
difference of ideas, and the more he knows their
language, the more he perceives it; on the con-
trary, the more intimately he knows the Greeks
the more familiar does he find them in habits
and manners to other Europeans; their bad
reputation is more owing to the SANDER of the
French (their mortal enemies) than to SO great
degree Of demerit In general they are an
agreeable and servicoable people, but they are
much given to levity, are immoderately ambi.
tous and fond of honorable distinctions; but
this very ambition, now weakness, when they
have nobler objects to pursue, will lead them to
! greatness.
