Drowning a yyoman In q Sack.

The barbarous custom Of drowning women
in sacksis still continued amongst the Turks.
The following is sn extract from letter from
Greece to the Court Journal:
al must now tell you very painful story.
Last Sund1y fortnight, as was returning from
Therapio, in boat, (or caiquc,) accompanied
by my son aud foreign officer we were SUR
prised by the bostmen [Turks) suddenly stop
ping the caique, and desiring us to be silent
II was then about halfpast nine O'Clock at
night, and not very bright but from the wa
ter aud by the rushing fthe current, we could
easily discover any boat that might approach us.
Ny foreign friend inquired Of the boatmen why
they stopped the boat The answer was-"Do
you not see that ?-They are about drowning
woman 1t appeared that the poor creature
had been sewn up in satk, and as soon as
our boat was at distance, she met with wa
terry grave. The caique in which she was pa-
ced was rowed by three men, and there were
two Others sitting in It. Our men well knew
what they were about to accomplish. The at-
fair has caused much conversation in the neigh
horhocd. Ii is said that young man, slave,
in the service OF pasha, whom happened to
know, formed an attachment for the poor young
woman, a white slave Of his harem that their
attachment was made known, and that he inn
mediately dismissed the young fellow from his
service. The lover was anxious 10 regain the
fhvor of his master, and applied to a noble
man Of Cons'sn'inople to request forgiveness.
The nobleman, at the desire of the young man,
most bumanely wrote to his master. The let
ter was presented, and the result was, that the
pasha, instead Of reinstating him in his service,
regarded him sterny, ordered him away, fol-
lowed him. and directed his head to be servered
from his body. In the evening the other trag-
cal affair took place in the Bosphorus. How
strongly are ye reminded Of Byron
And the Geld lawcrs her colder hand contained,
in he las' ernFp terdcrly were srained

James C.. PerCiN-al.

One Of Americas most Legitimate poets and
a man Of vast requirements. He looks and acts
thu poet, but his qualifications are superior 10
tEat of the mere poet He is capable Of al
most any amount of mental labor. His revision
Of Wcb>ter's Dictionary, was another labor OF
un.irjng zcal--one which caused Mr.. Webster
tc declare. that no man existed that would have
undertaken the toll. He was appointed State
Geologist for Massachusetts. 50 correct and cx-
tensive was his information in the science--as
a Rotanist, he is unrvalled. The humbest
flower or weed is perfectly familiar to him. He
looks upon the earth with a charmed vision.
TIE secrets of the universe seem opened for
his inspection, and yet with all his taler;s and
genius, he lives in the most secluded manner
imaginable. Some of his poe,ica efusions are
the most touching and beautiful, that ever
cmanated from this side Of the Atlantic. His
Carrier Pigeon" is known, wherever the
English language is spoken, and is one Of the
sweetest little melodies in existence. When
first published it was copied into one Of the
English Periodicals, and attributed to Il liter
ary nob'emen well known in England 1t was
then set to music and became the popular song
of the dav. His "Gcnius NunJeriue" is a
beautitul thing, indeed it seems as though he
had embodcj himself in its creation, and then
his "Waking" is glorious conception. 1t is
not often that he touches the Tyre, but when
his fingers do sweep across It's strings, it yields
