There is something exceedingly mel
ancholy in the accounts which are

Greenland. Generally women enter
upon the blessed estate with more
Willingness and less Solicitude than
the men. The women OF Greenland
are an exception to this rule. A
tIreenlander, having fixed his affec-
tons upon some female acquaints
his parents with the state of his

of the girl, and If the parties thus
far are agreed, the next proceeding
is to appoint two female egotiators,

would appear off Sugia and take
such families away as chose to leave
the island. In consequence, nearly
three thousand women and children
floChcd thither. anXiously awaiting

the English flag, and was cheered

the steamer turned oUt be Il Turk

and fred her broadsides into the

one hundred and ftty women and
children were killed outright and Il
much larger number more or less Sc.

acts of cruelty and barbariSm must
hasten the termination Of Turkish
dominion in Europe.
