TURKIsn CorRTsuiP.-In Turkey there
is no uctual cnurting before n a.riaee, tho
there may bo qunrreIs after; a youth hears
ofa girl, begs permission for some old fe-
male relation TO visit her, and If lie be rich
aud well conducted, seldom is unfortunate
or fortunate enough-ns the case mny be
10 meet with a refusal, which sometimes
happens in the " hest regulated families" of
Europe, where a hcadstrong daughter dis
appoints her parents, and Injuries herself,
to follow an idle cnpricc. Here, on the con-
trary, obedience to parents is one Of the frs,
laws of society. The father Of family in
Turkey has authority proceeding from res
pcct not fear. The inclinations Of the lady
being nscert,ined, the matter cnters--as
with us--into the form OF n mercantile
Transaction, excepting that the gentleman
pays his bride and receives nothing the
sum varies in general, from ten pounds to
forty Of our money, half of which is paid
down at the moment, and the other half on
separation, in case he chooses to divorce his
partner. This money seems trifng to us
who walk on gold, but is considerable TO
The Turks, more particularly as they are
generally poor, md have several wives to
endpw. The divorced wife has the liberty
"f marrying again, should she be able to
find husband. The price being settled, a
witness from the bridegroom, und another
from the bride are called they proceed to
Judge, who writes the contract on their
depositions, which is presented to the father
"f the lady, and then the nuptial ce, enemies
begin; which consist not in going TO n
mosque, or being hnrassed with settlements
or ccremonies, but among friends and rela-
'io"s, In eating, drinking, and hiring dane
rrs To amuse them; and these feas,s las,
often for eight days. The consummation
takes place in the house of the bride; the
bridegroom is accompanied to The door Of
the nuptial chamber hy his friends, and as
he passes the threshold they all, particularly
the bachelors, strike and push him. The
sacrifice of n sheep or Lamb is previously
made by the family Of his wife. The hus-
band entering, knecls down, aud prays to
Allah, then raises the veil and beholds his
wife fur the first time, gives her a present,
"ad so concludes the day.

brought in aid of the project; .Aboh

polite ans, deceived in their strength
and influence, may remain for ages be-
fore the Executive power swings back
to that old and patriotic section ofthe
Empire. This plan may be prevented
by the choice of Mr.. Clay; the south
confdes in him; the East has ever found
him a trde friend the Vest will sustain
him in the conflict. Let Mr.. Webster
and his prudent friends reflect on the
rubject before it is too late"
If MI. Van Buren, is reelected
"ABOLITION RECEIVES IT'S FL
NAL BLOW!" and "all the patronage
and power of the Administration" will
be used ''to hrozD the Presidency South

VIRGINIA ELECTION.

The returns Of this election are by
no means complete; five or six congress
sionnI districts not having been defn-
itely heard from. Thus far the dem
ocrats have gained four members and
lost one.
The election in the Fredericksburg
district is doubtful bewteen Talliafer-
70, fed, and Grayson, dem. The fed
eral papers assert the former to be cleo
ted by majority of II; giving ma
jority Of 60 votes in Northumberland
county to Grayson; but another ac-
count makes Grayson's majority in that
county 80, in which case he is elected.
AT the last session of the legislature
there was majority of federalists and
conservatives, amounting to % votes in
joint ballot. Thus far, according to
authentic information, the nett demo
cratic gain in the house of delegates is
Is. The senate, according to the re-
turns received, stands as before--con-
sequently, the late federal majority in
Joint ballot is at least neutralized.-
There are Al counties to be heard
from, which usually give decided ma
Jorities to the democracy. We doubt
not, therefore, that there will be a large
majority in the next legislature of Vir-
ginia opposed to the views ofMr. Clay,
Mr.. Rives and the fcderalists.
The Globe declares that six of the
federal candidates elected are opposed
TO Mr.. Riyes. and, we understand, are
pledged to vote against HIM for the
United States Senate, namely: Messrs
Gilmer and Southall Of Albermarle
Allyn Of Norfolk, Smith of Gloucester
Crawford from Elizabeth City and
Warwick, and Gregory from Jane:
City, York and Williamsburg-tht
four last named pledged against Clay
as well as Riyes.
The Cincinnati Gazette, which is {
violent federal paper, and from its 10
cation likely to contain accurate inior
mationrespecting the result in Western
Virginia, speaks thus
"The accounts we have received o
the Virginia election are favorable tc
the administration. We have seer
enough to satisfy us that the wings anc
conservatives will be i'll minority il
the house Of delegates"
The members Of congress whose cleo
ton is asccrtaincd are the following:

Reuben NJ. Whitney, ''the Canada To
ry, and sworn subject of Great Britain,
the hired panderer of the banks" as the
Cincinnati Advertiser calls him, has late
ly avowed himself as editor of the Madi
sonian at Washington City. II will be re-
collected that few years ago, this con-
temtible man was denounced by the feds,
as Zone of the most infamous scoundrels
in the Union" Who does not recollect
how he was treated by Wise and Peyton,
the murderer and the frebrand of whgge-
ry, on certain committee of investiga-
ton. Well, he is now their friend; the
''uncompromising bank man" is the soul
lion of the whole batch of banks, good, bad
or Indifferent.
He has issued a circular, published by
the Globe, calling on the friends of Rives
and Talmadge, and on the banks, to sup
port his projects of defending them in one
paper at the seat of Government. How
he lives, and how he is paid for his servi-
ces, may be drawn from the above facts.
From such sources, and from such editors ;
the federal papers fill their columns with
abusive articles on the administration and
the democracy. A hired traitor to good
cause is ever the most malignant crea-
ture alive, The basalisk is not more We
nomous, and yet whiggery delights in trea
son, while secretly it despiscs the traitor
to truth and honesty; but, at the same
time it cherishes the viper to sting the
honest and incautious.--St. Clairsri1e
Gazette.

Falls, was here in March last, when a
race was made betwixt Joseph Dawson and

Falls did not give over the money, lover
$500,) although Dawson was satisfied that
it should be given. Said Falls, as appears,
is governed by no laws Of honor, and be-
leving the laws of the land would not
compel him to give the money, he applies
it to his own private purposes, and when

joke about the iSisSies and PussieS, las

UNION BANK.-We often hear the COM
plant that the Union Bank made an une-
quail distribution of its favors, and that Il
small amount was given Adamo county.
The fact that one firm in this city obtain
ed about 10000 at one time and large
sum at another period, is indicative of the
manner in which the portion allotted this
section was distributed. 1t is pfoyerbial
that large discounts were made to few
individuals in the interest of that Bank
while the major part of those actually in
want Of small sums to save their property
from execution were denied accommoda-
tion. They were told to wait until the
Bonds for ten illions could be sold.--
Should that ever occur, the same system
of fasoritism will be adopted that has go
verned their operations in the distribution
of his.-Pree Trader.

The FORGERY AND ELoPEMENT.-The
forgery discovered upona fashionable Wall
street broker, in New York, as far as as
certained, does not exceed $4,000. Ben

[gone to Texas after bis name; and fur
Their says: ''He has left behind him, as is
currently reported in Wall street, a lovely
wife and several children, besides fair
friend ofunimpeachable modern character,
who, if some handsome broker does not
take pity on her, will probably have tG
take up her bed, and have added to her
name also, &c. I. T."-that is, gone tc
Texas after him. In that Ell Dorado, she
cannot fail to become the favorite OF Sc.

We have understood that one of our
Mississippi banks has bought four hundred
tons of ice; and intends retailing it at 8
cents pound. Were it not for the gallon
law, they would make puncheon Of sugar

siness on an extensive scale. Last year
they tried the pork and -four business
Next year they will neither have credit
nor capital to purchase cigars for the eff

nuisance, We understood yesterday that
one of them that hourished last year in the
pork hade, was unable to pay the rent Of
the banking house, We are Of opinion that
none of them will be able to impose their

will find their way to the bank for specie
as fast as steam and horseAesh can carry
them.-Vi eksburg Sentinel

MORE SWINE" ABoLrrIoN.--A few
day previous to the election in New
Hampshire, the Emancipation, one Of
the big guns of the abolitionists came
out in the following article:
sour Abolition friends are prepar-
ing for ''the struggle, and we hope will
give good account of themselves. :
The candidates have been faithfully
and seasonably interrogatcd. Of the
candidates for Governor only one, Gen.
Wilson, Wing, has seen fit to answer
at all, and his answer is so manly and
honorable, that we presume all the
Abolition votes will be cast for him."
Yes. and all of the abolition votes
were cast for the wing candidate. A.

LIST OF ATRocITIEs.--Th N. Orleans
Commercial Bulletin ccnles from the Nat
chez Courier an appalling list Of Mlssls'
sippian atrocities, among which are cru
merated murder committed in court OF
justice--the governor of the state being
spit upon-and circuit Judge of the Uni
ted States court having his nose pulled by
an officer of his own court, &c.
There is no need Of making things worse
than they areas the Bulletin would have
seen by consulting the affidayits in the
Mississippian that the vaunted splitting
was but moon hoar, an unestablshed
claim-'a deed without name and yet
to be done.
Mississippi is indeed fretfll and the
weather is hot; but as yet New Orleans
and Louisiana go as far ahead of the cot
ton state in these personal atrocities as
may be imagined--only their newspapers
do not scandaize their own state By pub
fishing and gloating over such incidents.
