accompanied by the officers of the ship,
and presented them to the king. He
made an appropriate address. which was
responded to by the king, who much re-
gretted to be informed that the stay of
the ship was to be so short. He appear,
ed pleased that the visit was made, aud
! thanked the minister and the officers for
the solicitude they expressed for the
safety of the queen, who was hourly ex-
pected to be confined. After remaining
a proper time in the presence of the king,
the party took their leave. much grati6ed
with their reception.
"On the morning of the I'd of August
his holiness intimated to Colonel Rowan
that he would receive the officers OF the

pOntiff. The manner of his holiness was
marked by republican simplicity, ease,

himself in terms of high satisfaction.
"His holiness was much pleased with
the order and proprety that everywhere
met his eye. The Catholics requested
to be presented to the pope, and the
Captain ordered them to be formed into
two lines. His holiness then passed
along the entire extent. giving them his
blessing, and made prayer to God for

The Charleston Is. c. Mercury an
nounces that Doctor Davis, who has been
absent in Turkey in the employment of
the Sultan for several years, has just re-
turned to South Carolina, his native
State. He superintended the model farm
for the Sultan, and undertook the culture
of cotton in Turkey on the method pqrsu-
ed in the United States with considerable
success. He gave instruction in agrlcul-
ture 10 a large number of Turks. His
residence i'll Turkey was very advantage
Gus to that country, as he was instrument
tai IN introducing works of science and
scientific modes of culture. which have
been adopted. The present Sultan is re-
solved, if possible, to avert the ruin which
seems to hang over the Ottoman empire
in Europe, and has made great efforts to
break down the old and fatal regime and
to establish foreign modes of agriculture
and manufacture. The Mercury says
that Doctor Davis has brought valuable
contributions to the agricultural Interests
of that State, viz: The Cashmere goat,
which, crossed upon the Scinde goat,
PRODUCES in the south of France better
fieeced animal Ihan the original Cashmere;
the waIer-oXen, which are va aDle in
boggy soils, while the females are good
mixers; the Thibet-shawI goat; PAIR OF
Brahman cattle, which make fine beef,
and are used for carriage and saddle
purposes, pacing and cautering well, and
frequently travelling sixty miles day;
| also an assortment of poultry and seeds
adapted to the climate. The Mercury
says there can be no doubt of the perfect
ada ption of South Carolina to browsing
animals, such as the goat family, the
Vicuna and Alpaca sheep OF South
America, &c.

THE SOCIALISTS AT ECONOMY, PA.-In
the correspondence of the Baltimore Sun
of the 29th ult,, giving description of
the movements of the President in Penn
sylvania, during his present tour, we fnd
the following interesting account of the
community Of Socialists at Economy, in
Pennsylvania:
At Economy, settlement of Socialists,
the President stopped and took dinner.
They set him down to dine in room
whose, dimensions could easily have ac-
commodated 1900 hungry men to good
meals. These curious people, who do
not believe in marriage or any of its
privileges, number about 400. nearly all
of whom are over fifty, and who, withal,
are very homely and coarse-particularly
the females The society owns 3500
acres of excellent land, the whole, togeth,
er with their stock, factories, and improve
ments, being worth $4,QQ0.000. Their
silk and cotton factories are as fne as any
of the kind in the world. They raise all
they consume, but do not consume all
they raise. No illness was apparent,
nor was there the traces Of vicious in-
dulgenaes, such as smoking, drinking,
chewing. gambling, swearing, &c. There
was, so far as could be observed, no clash
ing or jealousy of any kind; but every
thing seemed to go on much as one
might expect a lot of perpetual motion
machines after being wound up and set a
going The President appeared to be
not only much struck will, the unique
costumes worn by both sexes, but showed
considerable qualification at their hos
plta!itY, After dinner they took him to
their silk rooms, and presented him with
some articles of their manufacture con-
sisting Of two Or three silk vest patterns
aud fancy cravat. During his visit
they discoursed some music on the Ger:
man system. and accompanied hum to the
extreme limits of their grounds, on his
way to Beaver.

Mr.. Editor: Permit me TO correct an error
which learned was commonly received as truth.
1t is this: q. d. Alexander was employed by the
Trustees without consulting him. The Trustees
never had any thing to do with his connection
with the Institution; but from an earnest soicita-
ton TO unite himself with me in the establishment
Of institution of learning in South Arkansas,
aud from recommendation, of which doubt not
the yoUng gentleman is worthy, promised both
him aud the kind friend who recommended him
and seemed quite anxious for his welfare, that in
case determined to engage in an enterprise OF
this kind he should have the preferences. In the
meantime, it was stated by him to be prohlenat!ca
that he would take his present position, Where he
would rrman until October. This, told hn,
would not interfere with the arrangements III the
least, as my position would not admit oi my en-
gagng in the enterprise until gone time in Noy
The Washington Male aud Female seminary
was spoken OF as the probable field Of labor for US
in case the Rev. II. G. Thweatt, then occupying
should resign, be had Informed our mutual
friend he intended doing, which in time he did,
and as then stated would do if called upon,
succeeded him, and faithful to my pledge 10 my
tpo particular triends gave him the preference,
and lie in a letter to me since appointed him,
expressed hs regrets that he could not comply
with the agree ment, at least until after his return
from Virginia. Who the author of this report is,
l know not nor do care, yet l cannot think
Mr.. A. is himself, for it is too diverse from the
gratitude which he expressed in letter to me,
now in my possession, which has been read by
several OF the Trustees; also far from that high
of honor which I have ever regarded him
as possessing. His acceptance or non acceptance
with me is matter of no mpment. for ! had the
