The Turks have had a fair trial of their weakness when brought into personal conflict with their highly disciplined enemies, end the event must be disheartening to newly formed troops, destitute of experience in exercise and in the field, and without any esprit du corps or confidence in themselves, or each othor. -In several spirited sort ies from Varna the troops were driven back; and.four times in oue day they were repulsed by the Russians, with great bloodshed; by the bayonet alone, with out o shot being fired. In the science of defence the Turks appear to have made several great errors. 'Hie ad vanced posts at Varna probably, were ■ot so strongly garrisoned as their im portance demanded; and they have fallen into the bands of the invaders, ns we before knew. The, important position of Este Stamboul has also been gained, unexpectedly, as would appear; and for want of a sufficient defence, the last remaining route by which supplies could reach Shumla, thus fell into the hands of the Russ ians, with the command (partial fit least) of a pass through the Balkan. At Varna Admiral Gfeig lias per formed a gallant and important action by capturing, iivthe bight, 14 Turk ish vessels, the whole flotilla, with the commander of the fortress, the ., Cape. Faclr*.

There is a domestic tyrant now tra- versing the fairest districts of. our - •ountry—consuming its young and vi tal energies; treading down the blos som of its hopes; undermining its free institutions; setting.at defiance all its authorities; multiplying engines of tor ture; fencing off grave yards—and breathing pestilence upon every acre •f our goodly heritage.

The downward course, from mode rate drinking, and cogniac hospitably, to ifetad intoxicatioti, has been sketch ed again and again with graphic pow er and in horrible colours.

Intemperance—In the course of last week a respectable lady, residing we need not s y where, discovered that a cask Of home made wine, at least a “toraond auhl since lint was i’ the bell,” had become so acid as to be nearly unthinkable. To have given it away would have done little good; for the truth is, British n ine, at the best, is so poor a substitute for the gener ous juice of the Tuscan grape, that it has in a great measure ceased to be prized since the duties were lowered on the foreign article. Of this fact the lady was well aware, and had heard moreover, that dreg, or refuse of distillery worts , is an excellent thing for fattening pigs, therefore, the wine was sent, and carefully emptied into a stone trough, in the presence of four greedy grnmphies. . In a moment their lugs were immersed in the liquor, and, so far from finding any fault with it, they gruinp.hed out in concert a vote oi than! s to,their generous bene factress. Mote than one person wit nessed (he It use, end we have their authority for stating that more deter mined topers were never seen.

Liive a different class of debauchees, they began to quarrel a- bout the merest trifles; offence was taken where none was intended; bites exchanged, if not blows; and, in the melee th t ensued, tw o of the pigs got their ears lacerated and torn from Lneir necks, wtiile a third, after fight ing gallantly, was minus a full half of its tail. The fourth, which appear ed lo be the most drunken of the whole, was immoderately knocked a- bout and over, and died the same night, less, as is supposed, from injury than intemperance. The roaring and squealing, which were quite tremen dous, brought a number of persons to the spot; and as fhe combatants bit and kicked pell rnell—right and left —behind and before—without either method or any visible cause—those who were ignorant of the previous fud dle believed that they w'ere bewitch ed or possessed. Some, however, were wicked enough to enjoy the joke, aud slyly suggested that either the Ri ot Act should be read, or a surgeon sent for to try the effect of the stom ach pump! Such an instrument, bad there been one in the town, might have saved the life of the defunct animal; but s* ill we suspect few operators would have ventured, at such a criti- eol^noment, to open the jaws of an unruly swine. In the above paragraph there is no exaggeration, and we hare only to add. that though three of the revellers arc slowly recovering, they will never, in point of ears and tails, be any thing like themselves again.

CRUELTY AND FOLLY OF INFI DELS.' ' In their endeavors to disetedit the Bible, they attempt nothing less than to blot out the Sun ot our moral sys tem. But blessed be God, their ef fort is just as vain as would be an at tempt to blot out the sun which shines in the lirrn.nient of Heaven. Both are the work of the same God, and both equally beyond the reach of in jury from puny mortals. The beams of both may be partially obstructed in their course; but their fountain re mains unimpaired, and will shine on, and illumine the rest of the world m despite of all the rage, and all the ef forts of those, who “hate the light be cause their deeds are evil.” Could the wishes & attempts of in fidels succeed, they would throw tlw whole human race back into all the darkness and horrors of heathen idofe- try; into an utter ignorance of the true God, and of the worship wbjffl he requires; and an utter uneertaii/y of a a future state of existence. ^/Tnere is in these attempts a wanton cf-uelty, Which it is not easy to,characterize as it deserves. Wretched apd hard hearted men! Why will ;ou seek to rob the miserable, of every name, of the best alleviation ofaJl their suf ferings? Why will you attempt to deprive some of the excellent of the earth of that which constitutes their highest happiness? Infidelsusually a- void assemblies, and in speadng as 1 do, lam perfectly aware thit what I say is not likely to strike tie ear of their order. Nor do I seek, Christian brethren, to stir you up to hate or per secute these men. Noverilj; but I would stir you up to pity them, to pray for them, and with Christian zeal, mingled with meeknesi, to la bor, in every proper way, far their conversion: and I would stir you up to guard the young and the unwary a- gainst their arts and their delusions, as against a moral pestilence, poisonous to the very vitals of social - happiness, and leading to all the horrors of the second death.—Rev. Dr. Green's Ser mons in the National Preacher. “JESUS WEPT.” What a touching idea does this short text convey of the melting ten derness and warm affection of our compassionate Saviour. He wept, because the tomb had shrouded bis friend from his sight, though he knew that at the sound of his all-quickening voice, the icy letters which bound hint would be broken, and he would walk forth to life, light and liberty. Let the votaries of a chilling philo sophy stifle every warm and tender emotion until they have no longer any to stifle, let apathy and selfishness take entire possession of their souls; let them look on the dying agonies of a friend without sympathy, and follow him to his lone grave without tears— but such a revolting system shall not come nigh me since the Saviour of a lost world has exhibited in his holy and blessed life, all its lovely charities in their highest perfection, being with out sin. He not only permits us to weep when friends depart, but has himself consecrated the tears we shed by weeping at the grave of Lazarus. But though we sorrow, it must be in submission; our grief must be calm and subdued, like that of the'Saviour. We may often go to their graves to weep, but fhe spot should be : chiefly precious to us, because there we may hold more tender and intimate commu nion with him, who has hallbvved the grave by his presence, has riow the keys of death, and with his mighty arm will surely unlock thh prison- house in which our loved ones repose. Oh, to what high and heavenly hopes has he begotten us again by his Gos pel! Ever since the day in which he raised Lazarus from the dead, hflYe his followers had the pledge .& asbtfrance. that in the morning of the resurrection, they, with their friends, shall be rais- ed to the life immortal. Let us then, when weeping over the grave of a beloved friend, “Which from his voice, his hand* his smile, “Divides us hut & little while,** comfort ourselves with the thought of the bending compassion of our Great High Priest, who is touched with the feeling of our'infirmitics. Let ns not feel it wrong to weep, for Jesus wept.” Above all, let us bumble our selves under his chastising hands, feel ing that’ his tenderness never would have permitted him to afflict us,, bad be not seen that we greatly needed correction. Let us pray that the death of this beloved one may bind our hearts more closely to him who is the resurectinn and the life. Let US re solve: through his grace-assisting, that we will no longer cling so closely to the perishing things of earth, but cleave more entirely, in body, soul and spirit, to him, who if we are faith ful unto death, will finally give us a crown oflife. No soft emotion of the soul, Forbade our pattern and our head, He did not e : en his grief control, When Lazarus lay in his cold bed. Nor will he chide the tender tear, Which falls when our loved friends depart, If with a child-like holy fear, We kiss the hand which wounds our heart. gold anil silver coin. ! c !tfow, w #a'ft tiie farmer, “I m as rich as yoursel’* Braco.”—“Aye moil!” 6aid bis lord* ship, “how can that be?”—**Bebaus£ Pve seen it, an you can do no make.” SINGULAR DISCOVERY. Mr. Horton, a gentleman who had been engaged in boring lor water in Providence, lias presented to the pub* lie some remarkable results, in his second experiment in boring, he se lected the extreme point of a wharf, many yards from the original soil— then through a stratum ol mud—then through bog meadow, containing good peat—then through sand, pebbles end quartz gravel. At this point water impregnated with copperas & arsenic broke forth, but determining »o pro ceed farther, Mr. Horton next struck a vineyard and drew up vines grapes, grape seeds, leaves, auorns, hazel nuts, pine burs and the see is of un known fruits. together with pu r e wa ter.

E. Canal from the Mississippi to the Lakes.—Cutting a Canal between the rivers Fox and Ouisconsin would ex tend the water communication from New York to the Mississippi, and thence to all its tributary rivers, and all the places on that and them. The distance is only six miles, and on a perfect level. The Galona paper re commends that the canal be made by the United States troops of the garri son at the Portage, and says they could complete it in a few months. Indian Reform.—A Buffalo paper of Sept 18 says, a letter from the mis sion establishment at Carey, Rev. Mr. M’Coy, had left that place on a tour of observation to the west,—to ascer tain the local advantages of the terri tory, bounded east by the Missouri river and the State of Missouri, and west by the great American desert, for the settlement and colonization of the Indians scattered over the north ern states and territories of the Uni ted States'. Mr. M’Coy last winter gave to the public a pamphlet entit led, “TVie practicability of Indian Re form, embracing llieir Colonization.’ — This work probably diew the atten tion of government, and Mr. M Coy was directed to make an examination of the country in question. Another Great Invention.—The Lon don Artist, Gurney, has brought his steam coach invention to a state ol per fection. It was exhibited in the vi cinity of the Regents Park on Wed nesday; and its progress was at the rate 1J miles per hour on the heaviest parts of the road, and not less than 14 on the best parts. The improvements for a uniform supply of water for the generator, and the production of a current of air through the fire cham ber, were proved successful by the experiment made. The machinery can be regulated with the precision of that of a steamboat; and by having the centre of gravity of the coach be low the horizontal line of the axles, the risk of overturning seems to be entirely obviated.—Lond. pap. KEEP BEES. A French bishop being about tty make his animal visitation, soul word to a certain curate, whose eedcsirs- tical benefice was extremely trifling, (hat he meant to dine with him. at the same time requesting that lie would not put himself to any extraor dinary expense. The curate prop*- ised to attend to the bishop’s sugges tion; but he did not keep his wo> d, for he provided a most sumptuous enter tainment. His lerdship w*s im-''h surprised, and could not help censor ing the conduct of the curate: observ ing, that it was highly ridiculous in a man, whose circumstances were so narrow, to launch out in su- h expense, nay, almost todiseipate his annual in come in a single day. *Ho not he un easy on that score, my lord.’ replied the curate; “for I assure you, that what you now see is not the prodm e of my curacy, which I bestow exr b -- sively upon the poor.” “Then you have a pntrimeny, sir,” said the bish op. “No. my lord.”—“Yousper! ; n riddles,” rejoined his lordship* “V- w do you then contrive to live in this manner?”—“My lord. 1 have a con vent of young damsels here, who (l *'ot let me want any tiling.” “Row/ u have a convent!

This is all very strange, very unnceoir t: ! e Mr. Curate.” “You are jocular tr y lord!” “Butcome, sir. ! would f in see the convent.” “So you shall my lord, after dinner; and l promise you that your lordship will he wdisfied with my conduct.” Aeeordinelv; when dinner was over, the curate con ducted the prelate to a larro enclo sure, entirely occupied by Bee-hives, and pointing to the latter. obse r vid, “This, my lord, is the convent vhi h gave us a dinner; it brings me in about eight hundred livres per annum upon which I live very comfortrhiy. and with which I contrive to enter'Pe: my guests genteelly.” The surprise and satisfaction of the bishop a* 'his dis covery, may be rendilv conceiv ed.-— The sequel of the store info ms ns, that ever afterwards, whenever a cit rate made application to his lords! p for an improved living, he world oi ly energetically reply “Keep EcesV’ 11 Keep Rees!" A FARTHING LORD. Lord Braco, an ancestor of the Earl of Fife, was remarkable for practis ing that celebrated rule, “Get all you •an and keep all you get.” One day walking down the avenue from his house, lie saw a farthing lying at his feet, which he took up and carefully cleaned. A beggar passing at the same time, entreated his lordship would give him the farthing, saying, , it was not worth a nobleman’s atten- tion. “Fin, a farthing to yoursel', puir body” replied his lordship, and carefully put the coin into his breech es pocket. In addition to his being his own far thing ftn'er, his lordship was his own factor and rent collector. A tenant who called upon .him to pay his rent, happened to be deficient a single far thing. This amount could not he ex-, cased and the farmer had to seek the farthing. When the business was ad justed, the countryman said to his lord- ship, “Now Braco, I would gie you a shillin’ for a sight o’ a’ the goud and siller, ye hae.”—“Weel mon,” replied Braco, “it’s cost ye only mair;” and accordingly, for and in consideration of the aforesaid sum, in hand, first well and truly paid, his lordship ex hibited several iron boxes filled with A LITTLE TOO FRIENDLY.
