study, and few of course can describe.
 MGrch is tall strapping wench, who has passed the age which Byron calls s'a cer- tain age," and which, by the bye, is the most uncertain in some respects of any age in the whole three score and ten. You may see her, in imagination at least, be- tween snow bank and the street gutter, with all her wardrobe thrown aback and shivering in the cold, like the sails of a schooner on the gibe. But wind, snow, mud and water, are no more to her, than pigeon shot to a ship of the line. Then look out for broad-side of little tattle at some one's reputation. Then you may see her sharp nose and chin, either of which would put the eye ofa musquito in jeopar- dy, grow suddenly red and fiery Gke the cheek of an inveterate brandy drinker.- Then she puts on look of mysterious charity,and declines speaking her thoughts, out of spirit of pretended forbearance but ends with the arch look and | know," like Bembie and Frizzle Head. Oh March! what music she carries around her. Mud splashing, wind whistling by day, and rain pattcring and catterwauling by night. What cosmetic is her breath enough to bright en down the complexion of the sweet hue of glazed gingerbread. What comfort and solid pleasure in travelling as long as you can stand, with wet feet then to go to bed with sore throat and the ear ache, and after sleepless night to get up cough- ing like an asthmatick pump. It is an ill wind which blows nobody any good" says tho old saw but to whom does the wind of March bring any good !, The physician. perhaps, and no one else in our opinion. C0tskiW Recorder.
 ! The IGks.-Mr. Brewer, the American Missionary, thinks the Turkish character, as exhibited in common life, is viewed by most persons in too unfavorable light. His account of their manners, customs, ,&c. differs from that of Dr. Walsh and other writer's He attributes the extertions, bar. barities and cruelties practised in Turkey to the judges, pachas, governors, and sole diers, who are rapacious and inerciless. The common people are mild, honest, hos- pitable and temperate, and treat the aged with respect, and the unfortunate with compassion. The practice of eating opium does not exist to any considerable extent MT. Brewer says he has seen tens of thousands of Turks, and never observed one making use of that drug. Females of doubtful character are not permitted to reside in cities, but are sent to the Greek Islands. The women are not kept shut up in Turkey to the extent generally re- ported. Mr. B. met them every where in Constantinople, usually three or four to- gether. The Bazars or covered markets are full of them they go forth shopping in pleasant mornings, like the ladies of other countries. They conceal their mild and languid features in a great degree, with two cotton handkerchiefs bound about the head. They appear to be as industrious and amiable as other females, who enjoy not the elevating, softening and purifying influence of the gospel.- Hamp. GaS.
 Rochester.-By recent census of this vii. lage. it is acertained that it contains nearly
 fourteen thousand inhabitants; being an in- crease. during the last year, of about 5000
 The progress, in wealth. and population, of this I" city of the wild," is indeed astOnish- ing. There are already in operation, thr- teen Touring mills, containing fifty seven run of stOne--capable of manufacturing more than SOO,000 barrels of -four annually.-On- t0rio Mess. ~..0.
 Contempt of Court.-On Saturday last while the Court of Oyer and Terminer was sitting, the tail of coat was picked up and taken to the Police Office. About an hour afterwards, one of the Jurors applied to the Magistrates and stated that his coat had been cut. He observed, that while making his way through the crowd in leaving the court, he felt some one at his pocket, in which he had valuable papers,-and fearing that they might be lost. transferred them to his hat. It was not until he had nearly reached home ! that he discerned his loss. It is supposed that the villain who accomplished the act, must have done it for securing the contents of the pocket; but On being disappointed, drop ped it on the ground.-JoGr. cf Com.
