inefficient, the blood will either flow from
the wound or it will burst forth else wi here,

thinking that lIad given him good
fright, and nothing more. But the next
morning l was awakened by a confused
noise Of people running backwards and
forwards through the house. l got up

lady Of the house, she told me that ] had
pushed things too far. "Why what is

The inmates of the house were assembled
there, and l found besides the cure en-
gagged in violent alteration with the
beadIe, who positively refused to bury
the arm, which still lay in the room.
Every one looked upon me with horror,
and il WINS in vain that protested that l
was a total stranger to the affair. From
all sides they cried out, "It was you
for YOU nlone are capable of doing such
an act; it resembles you in every parti-
cular."-The cure told me that ] had
committed a very heinous crime. and
that it was his duty to inform the pro-
per authorities Of it. told he might do
as he pleased for as ! had nothing to
reproach myself with, had no cause to
be afraid. At Dime. learned that the
Greek, after being blooded, had opened
his eyes, but that he was unable to speak
and that all his limbs were paralysed ;
the next day he recovered his speech ;
when left the house he was still paraly-
tic, and his mind in very enfeebled
state, from which it never completely
recovered during the rest of his life.
The cure had caused the arm to be re-
buried, and communicated all the details
of the affair to the episcopal chancellery
Of Treyisa.

Sporting Aneedote.--A fdek--As a
respectable citizen of Heard county, a
few days since, was engaged in remov-
ing the rubbish from a pieeo Of newly
cleared ground, he discovered hawk
in close pursuit Of "a partridge the lat
ter in the rapidity Of bis fight, in en-
deavoring to escape from the tnlons of
tho hawk, came suddenly and violently
in contact with sharp splinter Of tho
limb ofa tree which pierced him through
the body. The hawk, with great rapid
ity, closely pursuing bis prey. likewise
encountered the same splinter, which
no also rum through his body, and thus
clinched himself fast upon the partridge.
In this manner they were both taken
by my informant.

dent of the Journal of a Commerce. on
bonrd of the frigate Constellation, dated
Sept. %, gives the following account Of
the Sultan, written after a journey to
Constantinople:- C gaon
"Under the kind auspices Of Commo-
dcre Porter, to whose hospitable atten-
tions we are greatly indebted, we had a
fine opportunity of seeing the Grand
Sultan. 1t was in the field where he is
in the habit, on certain days of the year
of practising at archery--and this be-
ing the day we repaired to the field
The monarch soon arrived on horse
back, surrounded by several members
Of his court. Observing US, and being
informed that we were Americans, he
sent an officer to invite us nearer to the
spot--an invitation which brought US
within few feet of his person. After
a few shots from few members of the
court, he descended from his horse, and
took the bow, which he drew with aston
ishing energy, for his third arrow--the
last which he sped--went ESQ yards
The distance is incredible, but we saw
il measured, and could hardly be mis-
taken. twas nearly one hundred yards
further than any of his predecessors had
thrown the shaft. He gave the arrow to
to Mrs. Reed, and observed to us that
this was one oftheir ancient customs, an
amuse nent which he occasionally indulg-
ed in. He inquired of commodore Por.
ter, who had been ill.,, respecting his
health, and observed to him and captain
Reed that he should be happy in seeing
our men Of war at Constsntinople. He
spoke in praise of model of ship
which Mr.. Eckford had just sent to his
palace, and ordering us some mats invi-
ted us to be seated, and treated us to
some excellent coffee and ice cream.--
His manner>was very easy and affable,
and nothing but the attentions Of those
around, showed that wo were in the
presence Of the Grand Sultan. We
left. soon after having made as handsome
a bow as lay in our power.
The Sultan appears to be about fifty
years Of age-his person is stately, with
n muscular, firm set formation. His eye
is fall of fire-his lips betray frmness
the prevailing expression Of bis coun-
tenance is indicative of care, fortitude,
and energy. His dress was simple
He wore red cap, shaped precisely
like hat without brim, with blue
tassel hanging from the centre Of the
crown. His coat wasa blue roundabout
with narrow, upright collar, and but
toned close about him. His pantaloons
were of the same color, cut after our
fashion, with narrow straps running un-
der n square-toed boot. His sword,
which hung easily at his side, had a
gold scabbard, and belt blazing with
diamonds His horse was a truly noble
animal, and most richly caparisoned.-
The headstall of the bride was studded
with jewels, and the stirrups ofthe en-
broidered saddle were Of massive gold.
And moro splendid horseman than his
Majesty thus mounted, hare never
seen."
