As ascended the town, the nature of the ground frequently compelled us to hah \Ve seized these pauses with avidity, and at every opening which tin streets afford ed turned round to gaze on the magnifi cent outspreading of dm scene ■ elow us We stood on the confines of Europe and /^ sia we gazed on two great quarters of the v.odd at once. Constantinople lay be fure us— her Golden Horn, (the port of Constantinople,) like a rich gem enchased hv the semi-circle of three gieat ci'ies, or a'lakein the midst of such a city as Baby lon ws Qalm, bright and gorgeous On the left stretched the deep-red houses and the dark gardens of the ancient Byzantium, fronted by the white fortress palace of the Sultan ; on the right rose the stone build ings, aud European palaces ot the Peraand Grilala. A little higher we could count her hundred mosques, and the spanning lines of the aqueduct of Valens, and the brown rusty turrets of her triple walls, and beyond all, the black burnt aeserts of Thrace, stretching off towards Adrianoplc, till they were lost in the pui pie and duski ness of the distance. The B< sphorous coursed below us, with the arrowy fleet ness of the blue Rhone, and was dappled over with the sails and ensigns of a thousand na tions and colors. The picture is unrivalled on earth : and tho moment could not be more favorable for such a picture. An Asiatic mellowness hung upon every thing ; the air was smooth, and slumberous ; it was noontide; the inhabitants were in their houses, and the laz v v'heel of the see birds round the light-house or Phanari of ‘the Lady,” below, was all that betokened the stir and change of existence. YVe hung in silence and admiration over the scene, and seated ourselves for a lew moments on the edge of a fountain beneath some bending plantains, where a venerable Turk had soread ids carpet, and for an instant inter rupted his smoking, to prostrate himself at the call of Iniaum, in prayer. It is intyos sil le to hear these c ies from the innumer able mosques which generally crowd an eas wuciiy, inviting the whole human raco at liie same time to worsphip, without beiii” pr f'undly affected. There is in the hu oi'ii; voice, at all times, something inex pressibly more solemn and penetrating than any bells or instruments whatsoever ; but, combined as they are in the mind of the M'homedan, with all the associations of hs religion, it is not singular that their P°"’ er should be altogether irresistible.— I l ,ave seldom seen a Turk disobey their a ppeat, and the moment the melancholy c 'deuces begin to die away upon the ear, } f ii see the population, wherever they are F at once bow down before the Giver and Preserver of all things, with a sitnplic ny and dignity which would shame a Chris !n “* 1 At such a moment,’ as a Turk C!

THOMAS PEARCE. From the American Farmer. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. Skinner, fir—Your reference to the embarrass ment cd the whole agricultural community of the United States, in the last number of the American Farmer, must he read with peculiar interest by every reflecting indivi dual of that great and most useful class of our fellow-citizens Though they never complain, their suf ferings are not, therefore, less severe, and have now reached the extreme point, which you justly designate as the prelim inary to improvement, namely, delibera tion. I To bring together the intellectual strength oi the agricultural community of the Uni on, at least such a concentration of it as would express what 01 e supposed to bo the causes, and the remedies of the evils al luded to, would not he a difficult task. A convention might be invited to meet at some centra) or convenier t point, during (he ensuing summer or autumn, when the southern planters make tiieir annual visits to the middle and northern states, and then might be discussed those general points of interest, on which all planters and farmers unite, ns being the proprietors and cultiva tors of the soil; and preferring this cha racter ana pursuit, (l would call it a pro fession,) to any other, to which necessity must drive them, unless some improvements can be suggested for their benefit. One of the most prominent points in your appeal, and as you justly observe the most painful, is, the expense of a good education to their children, which is at present gen erally beyond the means of a farmer; and, indeed, is not to be obtained in the United States at any expense ; that is, such an education as is alone appropriate to a plan ter or farmer, and which, it is believed by the writer of these suggestions, nmst be commenced in very early life, consulted in youth, and concluded in the country , in ag ricultural institutes , where, what may be called the rural arts and sciences, are the foundation, and what may be termed the agremens of life, are the superstructure—a system, which, in the United States, has been reversed. The moral principles, of agriculture aie almost unknown to us, in their due degree and exercise. Industry, sobriety, economy, subordina tion, system and discipline, and their asso* ciated virtues and habits, are not sufficient ly insisted on in youth ; and, indeed, are not known in any plan, uniting in the coun try an agricultural with a scientific educa tion, in connection with a farm conducted on the best principles. \ et, such a plan of education exists in | Switzerland, where the illustrious Feileu- | berg, by the experience of move fhti twen- j ty years, has demonstrated its practical and I extensive utility ; and has illustrated, by the example of many living witnesses, edu cated in his institution, the imp riant truth, that the produce of each individual’s labour only 9 (even in a country where its price is much less than in the United States,) will, in such a seminary, provide all the means of subsistence and instruction in every de partment of science useful to such individ ual as a farmer ; united, at the same lime, to an early formation of all the habits of life essential to successful agriculture. City education, and city habits, are con ceived to be at the root of the evils of American agriculture. There must be i moral atmosphere for the farmer to live aud move in, which he must have inhaled with his earliest breath, when the mind receives its first and best, as well as its most endur ing impressions and associations—to se cure, and to direct which to their appro- 1 priate objects, is one of the most essential parts of a good education. But this remedy may be said-only to ap ply to succet-ling generations, it will, at least, remedy one of the most obvious caus es of regret to the parents ot the present, that no appropriate system of education in the country is within their reach ; should it happily lead to a consideration of the sub ject, and an adoption of the remedy pro posed, by the establishment of an agricul tural institute, on the Eellenberg plan, in someone of our states such as was intend ed to have been commenced this spring in Pennsylvania, under the superintendence of a distinguished scientific citizen of our country, who had resided at Hofwyl a suf ficient time on purpose to possess himself of all the essential parts and practices of that celebrated institution, but whose greatly re gretted loss of health, as I am lately in formed, precluding any present hopes of his assistance, and involves, in its conse quences, a postponement at least of the in stitute intended at Bulton farm, in Penn sylvania, under bis expected superinten dence. The subject, considered as a national object, has heen submitted by me to the committees on agriculture of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Uni ted States at the present session oi Con gress, with a view only to an expression of opinion by the gentlemen composing those committees, of the utility of such a system to the agricultural interests; its sanction by j the most enlightened statesmen of Europe, leads me to uiticipate the same results from those <#f our country. The sentiments expressed in the Geor gia Journal by the Planters convened at Eatonton, are at once the evidence of the existence of the evi s, and the proof that they are not without a remqdy, if the ran gers of delay are not added to the nature of the disorder The invitation to communi cations for the Farmer, has induced the sug gestion of a Convention, by selection from the Agricultural societies in the sever-*! states, or otherwise, that it may receive the consideration which the subject merits, and if approved, be made more definite as to time, place, numbers, &c. ——— ‘v ■ * YVORCESTER, June 11. _ Ride to Lowell. —Lowell is a place of recent ori gin, and owes its growth entirely to it* peculiar ad vantages for manufacturing. It is situated at the confluence of the Merriraac and Concord rivers, on both of which there is a great power. The Merrimack falls 35 feet in about a quarter of a mile. ‘Fhe principal works are operated by water from this river. It is taken out in a canal at the head of the falls, and carried on a level into the town, w r here it is taken from the canal and used as it is wanted. The Merrimack Company, which we believe is the oldest in the place, engaged in the cotton business, manufacture nothing but calicoes. Fhey have in operation, four factories for spinning and weaving the cloth, and two for bleaching, dyeing, printing, and finishing their goods. Five of them are, each, 155 leet in length, four stories high, with a lighted attic. The sixth is in the form of an L and is near twice as large as the others. The dwelling houses 1 , belonging to this establishment, are built upon two streeils, all, ot uniform size .and appearance, tw6 stories high and contain two tenements each. They alt have green front yards, which give them an appearance of great neatness. The Hamilton Company Jiave two factories in operation, and the foundations laid for two more, all of the same description as those ol the Merrimack Company. They also have tour blocks of brick dwelling houses, fronting on tw T o parallel streets. The Appleton Company have two factories of the same size, and two ranges of brick dwelling houses, built, and another now building. In the vicinity of these works is an ex tensive machine shop, where a vast quantity of machinery is annually made. The other principal manufacturing establishments of the place, are a large carpet factory, more than 200 leet long, and two large woollen factories. The latter are situ-. ated on the Concord river, and belonging to Tho mas Heard, whose works, we believe, were the first established in the place. The calico printing works are a great curiosity. Through the agency of a friend, we procured ad mittance and examined every part of the process, from the bleaching, to the packing up of tiie goods in the finished state. Ihe perfect order and regu larity with which every thing was conducted, is truly admirable. Each one attended to his own appropriate duties, without noise or contusion, so that, like a well regulated machine, the desired result of the whole was produced by the exact operation ot the individual parts. The durability ot the fabric, and the permanence of the colours have obtained for the calicoes of this company', a high reputation. J Among all the curiosities of this establishment, not the least was an Albiness, who was in sewing together the ends of the pieces of cloth, preparatory to some ot the processes to which it was to be subjected. The pains which she had taken to dispose of her silken hair, in ringlets, flowing over her neck and shoulders, so that it might appear to the best advantage, shewed that sne considered her peculiarity a beauty rather than a defect. Her complexion was one of un common delicacy and fairness, on which appeared the freshness indicative of health. iew places combine so many advantages as this, and it is nqt unreasonable to predict, that Low ell is destined, ere long, to become the Man chester ot j\ew England, and that a very few years only, will make it the second place in point ot population in the State. But a small portion ot the water power is yet occupied. There are several vacant sites for mins remaining on the present canal, and anew canal is constructing, wliieh will afford power and situation for from 15 to 20 morq factories of the size now in operation. Fhe communication with Boston through the Middlesex canal, furnishes a cheap and sale tran sportation for goods, while by means ot the river ■navigation of from tiO to 100 miles above, abundant supplies of country produce may be drawn. The site of the town is very good, bounded on the north by the Merrimack, and on the east by the j Concord rivers, above which it is elevated from 20 to 30 feet, and nearly level. Before building, l the elevated spots are dug away, and the earfh f removed to those which are more depressed. A I extract of this kind, amounting to many thousand J dollars, has been taken by Deacon Luke S. Rand, w here the earth has to be removed to a consider able distance. 1 o facilitate the operation, lie has constructed a wooden rail-way, by means of which the expense will be greatly reduced, and the con tract rendered a lucrative one. The cost of the rail-way was about one thousand dollars. The land on the opposite shore of the Merri mack lies in a handsome form, is fertile and high ly cultivated, and affords an agreeable prospect from the town. The opposite shores are connected by means of two bridges, one at the head of the tails, and the other, anew one, at the lower part of the town. Lowell, as it now is, presents but the skeleton of what it must be at a future day. Streets have been laid out, and built up, in somewhat detached situations, and the intervening space remains to be filled up. This is in the reguiar course of com pletion—On every side, the hum of industry is Heard, and the indications of improvement present themselves in every direction. The present po pulation is between four and five thousand, most oi which aro of an age to be actively engaged in business, it is said there is but one aged person in the vicinity, and he is considered a curiosity. In the place, are five organized religious societies, viz : Episcopal, Congregational, Baptist, Metho dist, and Universalist, the four former of which have convenient houses for worship. The Catho lics, also, occasionally, have religious services.— 1 hero are seven Physicians, 4 Lawyers, and one Printing Office, from winch is issued a vveeklv paper. Buch, in brief, are some of the features present ed by this infant city—an infant now, but rapidly attaining to a vigorous manhood. None can view it without being impressed with the important in fluence, which manufacturing is destined to have on the general prosperity of New-England. Os their moral tendency, the example of our largest establishments, such as YValtham, Lowell, Dover, dec., gives no cause for alarm. In point of intel ligence, sobriety, strictly correct moral deport ment, and general purity of character, the iniiabi tants oi these places will compare favorably with the same amount of population, in any other si- the country. Those who visit Lowell will find retired quar ters and good accommodations at the Merrimack Hotel. It is situated on the bank of the river, with the fall directly in rear, of which, and of the beautiful scenery of the opposite shore, it affords a commanding prospect. On the dinner table, we found very excellent salmon, newly taken from the river opposite the house, and understood from the landlord, that he had not been without it since they commenced running in the Spring. Worcester Spy. From the JYeto England Farmer.. ■ AMUSING STORY. M*’ Fessenden. —The enclossd from Hender son’s Treatise on Swine, and is an amusing account of the “ Early Days of the Porcelain” Cloth iri Scotland.” I thought at least that it would en tertain you, and is at your service to use at your pleasure. Yours, &c. u Though swine were kept so early iii the south of England, it appears from the following anecdote, they were little known in the north of’ 1 England and south of Scotland. Within the last’ century, (probably about ninety years airo,) a per son in the parish of Ruthwell, in Dumfries- shire, called the ‘ Gudeman o’ the B r ae,’ received a young swine as a present from some distant part, which, from all the information I could get, seems to have been the first ever seen in that part of the country. The pig having strayed across the Lo chare into the adjoining parish of Ciarelavroc, a woman who was herding cattle on the marsh, by the sea side, was very much alarmed at the sight of a living creature, that ahe had never seen or heard of before, approaching her straight from the shore as if it had come out of the sea, ami ran 1 home to the village of Blackshaw screaming. As I she ran, it ran, snorting and grunting after her, seeming glad that it met with a companion. She arrived at the village so exhausted and terrified, that before she could get her story told, she taint ed away. By the time she came to herself a crowd ot people had collected to see what w r as the mat ter, when she told them, * That there was a de’il come out of the sea with two horns in his head, (most likely the swine had pricked ears) and chas ed her roaring and gaping all the way at her heels, i and she was sure it was not far off.’ A man called ! Willie Tom, an old schoolmaster, said if he could see it he would ‘ cungere the de’il, and got a bible and an old sword, it immediately started up at his back and gave a loud grumph, which put him into such a fright that his hair stood upright on his head, and he was obliged to be carried from the field half dead. The whole crowd ran, some ! one way, and some another ; some reached the 1 house tops, and others shut themselves up in barns and byres. At last one on the house top called out it was 4 the Gudeman o’ the Brae’s grumphy, he having seen it before. The affray wes settled, and the people reconciled, although some still en tertained frightful fears about it, and durst not go over the door to a neighbor’s house after dark without one set or cry with him. One of the crowd who had some compassion on the creature, called out, 4 give it a lock of straw to eat, it will be hungry.’ Ne*t day it wns conveyed over the Lochare, and it seemed to find its w r ay home. It being near the dusk of the evening, it came grunting to two men pulling thistles on tne farm at Cockpool. They w r ere much alarmed at the sight, and mounted tw r o old horses they had tethered beside them, intend-1 ing to make their way home. In the mean time ! the pig got between them and the houses, which | caused them to scamper out of the way, and land in Lochare moss, where one horse was drowned, j and the other with difficulty relieved. The night being dark, they durst not part one from another to call for assistance, lest the monster should find them out and attack them singly, nor durst they speak above their breath tor fear of being devour ed. A i day break next morning they took a dif ferent course, carne by Cumlongan castle and made their way home, where they found their fa milies much alarmed on, account of their absence. | They said that they had seen a creature about the size of % dog, with two horns on his head and do ven feet, roaring out like a lion, and if they had not galloped away, it would have torn them to pieces. One of their wives said, ‘ Ilout man, it has been the (iudeinan of the Brae’s grumpily, it fiightened them a’ at the Blackshaw yesterday, and poor Meggie Anderson ’maist lost her wits, and is ay oiit o ane fit into another sin syne.’ Ihe pig happened to lie all night amonrr the corn where the men were pulling thistles, and a bout day break set forward on its journey for the Biae. One Gabriel Garion, mounted on a lonor taiied grey colt, w r ith a load of white fi sh in a pair ot creels sw T ung over the beast, encountered the pig which went right among the horse s feet ana . gave a snort. The dolt being as much frightened as Gabriel, wheeled about and scampered off sneering, with his tail on his riggin, at full gallop. Gabriel cut the slings and dropt the creels, the coit soon dismounted the rider, and going like the wind, until his tail up, never stopped till lie came to Barnkirk Point, w r here he took the Solway r ntli and landed at Brow r ness ; on the Cumberland side. As to Gabriel, by the time he got himself gathered up, the pig was within sight, he took to tils hoels, as the colt was quite gone, and reached Cumlongan wood in time to hide himself, where he staid all that day and night, and next morning got home almost exhaused. He told a dreadful story ! The fright caused him to imagine the pig as big as a calt, having long horns, eyes like trenchers and a back like a hedge hog. He lost his fish, the colt w as got back, hut never did more good ; but as to Gabriel, he soon after fell into a consumption and departed this life about a year after. About this time also, a vessel came to Glcnca ple quay, a little below Dumfries, that had some sv ine on board, most likely for the ship’s use.— One of them having got out of the vessel in the night, was seen on the farm of Newain’s next morning. The alarm was spread, and a number’ of people collected. The animal got many differ ent names, and at last it was concluded to be a brock. Some got pitch-forks* some clubs, and others old swords, and a hot pursuit ensued ; the chase lasted a considerable time, owing to the pursuers losing heart when near their prey and retreating ; Robs Geordy, having rather a little more courage Jian the rest, ran ‘ neck or noth mg’ forcibly upon the animal, and run it through with a pitch-fork, for which he got the name ‘ stout-hcartsd Geordif all his life after. There is an old man, nearly a hundred years old, still in the neighborhood, who declares that he remem bers the Gudeman of the Brae’s pig. and the cir- * cumstances mentioned 5 and he says it was the first swine ever seen in that country.

Cotton.—The demand for Upland this week has been very limited.—We have had sales of a few small lots of fair at 10 1-4 a 10 1-2 ; and also one or two lots of very good quality at 11. Strictly prime continues scarce, and would command 12 a 12 1-4. Nearly all the crop having come to mar ket, the transactions for the remainder of the sea son must be limited. In Sea lslands there is little or nothing doing. Rice.—This article continues dull, and we have heard of but few& sales. The season is now so far advanced, that purchasers of the article consider shipments unsafe, on account of the w r eavle; Groceries.—We have nothing to add in addi tion to our remarks last week.
