Br a bove Frederickton, where several
Ef;i now lie, ready to he brought to this
C iket. We are pleased to see this—lum
ber being a staple article of export, and
derives it value solely from the materials
and labor of the Province and its inhabit
aDjl*js pleasing to observe also, that the
pod effects arising from our Fish bounty
are becomeing yearly more and
jnore apparent. Upwards of sixty vessels
jgve cLaied out during tbe present season,
from this port, for the deep sea fishing.—
be trust those interested in th:s branch of
trade, will watch over its concerns with
more than ordinary solicitude, for the pur
pose of piocuringnot only a sufficient sup
ply of this important article, tor exporta
tion, but with the view also of improving
id quality,so that an opportunity may be ai-
Lriied to our mercantile speculators of ex
tending their trade to markets from which
they have, from the inferior quality of our
Fish, been as yet excluded. The benefits
arising from exertions of this kind, have al
ready been sensibly felt by the inhabitants
dour sister Province—let us follow their
example.
The Turks.— The Turkish ladies are
mustbarbariously litate; the fair creatures
are prisoners and slaves, and are tied up
is a bag and thrown into the sea, whenev
w their lords and masters happen to be out
#fhumor. Thus does ignorance ‘xclaini,
and her sister Credulity repeats the cry.
Now let us look a little at the education and
treatment of Turkish women.
Id the families of rank, great pains are
taken with female education ; the Turkish
and Arabian languages are constantly stu
died,and precepts of virtue, of chastity, of
gentleness of demeanor and polish of man*
neis,is short of all that is or ought to he
the ornament of woman, are inculcated with
he greatest care and assiduity. Sir James
Porter, a former British ambassador to the
Pirte, who resided there twenty years, says
that the decency, the modesty and the po
liteuess of the Turkish ladies are uuequal-
Ifd. Tiiey are treated with a respect bor
dering on indolatry ; their health, their
*fc]|.ire and their happiness, are the con
stant study of the barbarous Turk.
The parental affection of the Turk is very
strong, and his children are remarkable for
<htiful and obedient behavior, for modesty
Jtithe presence of superiors, and for ex
treme veneration towards old age. The
nature of the Turk is high-spirited, suscep-
Itble,impetuous, and unequalled in their
amiable discharge of the duties of hospitality
‘■tth them a stranger is a sacred character.
James Porter, says that in the villages
w hich are inhabited exclusively ny Turks,
‘‘running, roguery and deceit,are unknown;’
that highway robberies, burglaries and stea
ling, are not heard of, that in war as well
USJn peace, the roads are as secure as the
houses.
1 and undying revenge, are their
n ‘ osl striking attributes—time never lulls
‘heir memory of insult aid injury They
bate been known to come fiom the fron
; - ,s °* Persia into Asia Minor, to revenge
death of a grandfather, many years af
cr commission of the offence. The
| re nt bequeaths to the son the task of a
• Dging his offended honor, and it is never
fleeted.
Civilized men gamble—the Turks detest
ne practice. Civilized men are uncom
®ony lenient to habitual liars; the ‘lurks
c utd drive them from their presence. —
~J v, ‘‘*ed men cheat each other daily; the
l* r - are too proud to be dishonest.

EFFECTS OF SUDDEN FRIGHT.
PLAIN FACTS.
4 Her color changed, her face was not the same,
And hollow groans from her deep spirit came.’
, Dryden.
Few things can be more cruel, or attend
ed with more fatal consequences, than that
of trilliiig with the fears of timid persons.
There are on record many instances of
men whose courage had been tried in the
field of battle, yet have yielded to the great
est terror in consequence of some silly
prank being played upon them—such as a
prophetic and dismal sentence being wi;t
ten on the walls ot their apartment with
phosphorus, which is not to be seen till the
candle is extinguished 1 have been led to
make these remarks from hearing a much
beloved friend relate how severely she had
suffered in consequence of a foolery of this
kind sometime since. This lady from a
naturally delicate constitution and a highly
nervous temperament, is at all times an im
proper person on whom to try one of these
very witty experiments ; and the state ot
her heahh, at the period to which I allude,
ought to have pi elected her from every
alarm of the kind. She vvas busy in her
apartment and did not hear approaching
footsteps, which were however sufficiently
guarded ; and opening the door suddenly
to descend to the parlor, an object present
ed itself to her terrified gaze so horrible,
that retreating to her bed room she fainted
away. On her recovery, she found her
self supported in the trembling arms of a
youth, her brother ; she closed her eyes,
fearing to encounter the shocking spectacle
again—when, with many expressions of re
gret, he assured her that he had been the
cause of her alarm. That seeing a mon
strous looking mask in a shop window, he
had purchased it and coming home put it
on, and stole softly to the door of her apar
ment, 4 just to startle her a little , to use his
own words ; but without tlie most remote
intention or belief that it would alarm he
so seriously. The vouth bought a lesson
from experience that he will probably not
speedily forget, since the life of an amiable
and beloved sister vvas for a long time desr
paired of; nor can he recollect the circum
stance now, without shuddering at tbe idea
of how fatal the consequences might have
been
This conversation with my friend Eliza,
brought to my remembrance a circumstance
which I also know to he a fact, as it was
related by a lady of undoubted veracity,
who vvas on the spot when the affair occur
red. and may servo as a warning to those
who are find of a comedy which too often
turns out a tragedy.
In the town es Hampton, in the county
of Middlesex, England, a spot celebrated
ou account of the stately palace erected
there by the rmguificeut Cardinal VVool
sey, vv is kept some years since a young la
dies’ boarding school A miss Courtenay,
the only child of immensely wealthy pa
rents in the county of Hampshire, was one
of the scholars To prevent her suffering
through life from the morbid cowardice
to which from nature and education the
softer sex are much prone her parents and
teachcis had taken unwearied pains not
only to brace her mind against the terrors
of imagination, but of those terrifying real
ities that flesh is heir to. They succeed
ed effectually, little dreaming, poor vve;ik
sighted mortals as vve are, that this very
acquirement would one day prove fatal to
her.
Matilda Courtenay was about sixteen,
amiable, accomplished and as lovely in
her person as the fabled Ilouri. Her dis
position was gay as that of the lark—all
bouyancy and life. It was not long ere the
young ladies in the school discerned this
trait of fearlessness in her character —lor
Matilda had been so praised by her dealing
parents f r its possession, that she lost no
opportunity of displaying it on every possi
ble occasion. Many were the tricks re
sorted to by her companions with the idea
of friglitiiing her: such as starting upon
her from a place of concealment —making
i figures, with vile physiognomies painted
upon them, and placing them in her bed—
perhaps a mischievous one, concealed be
i ueath the bedstead, would seize her loot as
she was stepping inio it. At other times,
: Dolly the maid would he hired to get upon
the roof and throw brick-bats dowai the
chimney of her apartment. But all was
vain—her listening tormentors heard no
sound save that of a chuckle or a burst ol
; joyous laughter. Almost wearied with the
continual failure of their experimenss they
at length hit upon an expedient to frighten
the innocent girl by a coup dt main. Miss
Courtenay had been to visit her parents,
hut was expected at Hampton that night.—
1 A student of medicine in ihe neighbor
i hood, who was fond of one of these board
j ing school romps, was prevailed upon to
bring secretly in the evening a skeleton to
the school. The hope of at length light
ening Miss Courtenay weakened their own
fears in handling this otherwise appalling
subject. They fastened it to the tester
| withing the curtains at the foot of the bed,
so as to conceal it effectually from her ob
servation; hut w ith the con /iction that the
moment the bed should he >haken by her
getting into it, the figure would lull upon
her.
I Matilda did not reach Hampton sill bed
time, hut in more than usual gay spirits re
i tired to her apartment, saying to her loved
hut mischiev< us companions,
‘Good night, dear girls, good night; I
have got hack, and to-morrow we shall
have a fine gale of romps good night, and
with a hound she was out ol sight.
There was a cause, nay two of them, for
Matilda’s heightened spirits. Henry Mel*
moth, the companion ol her childhood and
her beau ideal of all that was porlect in
mankind, had brought her to Hampton in
his Phatton and four, and had whispered
something agreeable in her ear—hnd man
bad 4 looked unutterable things.*—Besides,
Matilda vvas by nature benevolent, and her
parents, aware that she would make no ill
use of it, had given her a plentiful supply
of pocket money—and that she might
build castles in the moon, think of Henry
undisturbed, and in her mind’s eye, dis
pose of her wealth on the morrow, she re
tired to her chamber.
With this sweetest and most delightful
feeling of humanity, the desire of perform
ing kind actions, Matilda, after praying as
fervently as a girl of sixteen could be ex
pected to pray, jumped into bed, where
we will leave her for the night.
Early on the following morning those
who had been particularly busy in this cru
el affair were astir to see its effects, and
repaired in a body to Miss Courtenay’s a
partment with the expectation of hearing
the joyus burst of metriment; but imagine
their surprise and horror of finding the
sweet girl, doubtless in the position she
had first lain down in, with her eyes fixed
and rolled up in their sockets—the white
‘roth foaming from her palft mouth, her
nostrils fearfully distended, and showing
every appearance of approaching dissolu
tion—the forefinger and thumb of her right:
hand held a shred or fibre which adhered ;
to the skeleton, whose fleshless arm had j
fallen across her, and its eyeless skull rested ;
on the same pillow with tliai of the late j
blooming girl. Medical assistance vvas
called, but alas! too late—her extremeties
were cold. The physician pronounced
that she had fallen r repeated convul
sions from affright, an, 4 there was no rein- .
edy. In a few minutes life ebbed pulse
away, and the angel spirit of the lovely but
ill fated Matilda fled forever!
Lay her i’ the earth
And from her fair and unpolluted flesh,
May violets spring!’

Charleston, July 21.—The usual depression
of business at this season, together with the gen
eral prevalence of the Denguo Fever, has nearly
put a stop to business of all descriptions during
the week. Many stores and counting houses
have been closed, in consequence of all attached
to them being sick
In Cottons , a few sales of Uplands have been
effected, principally of the lower qualities, at 101
cents. We do not vary our general quotations of
this staple, as the primest is still held at 12 cents.
We hear of no transact ions In Sea Islands , ty-c.
Rice. —No variation in prices, and very limited
sales
Flour. —Several sales have been effected at ss£,
principally for town use —vve repeat the general
last week, a s^.
Corn. —There have been two cargoes sold since
our last report, at 50 cents.— Oats are held and
would command above our last quotations. We
now put them down at 20 a 30 cents; and a prime
lot would, perhaps, bring a little over the highest
rate.
Naval Stores. —Some article* are selling in
small lots above the prices quoted—but by the
quantity they would not command more.
Groceries , —The business is at present con
fined to the town trade, and that very limited. A
few hhds. of Sugars have gone oft'at rates corre
sponding with our quotations. Two lots of New
Orleans Whiskey, brought by late arrivals, have
sold from the wharf at from 24 to 25 cents.
Freights. —There was but one ship taking in on
Saturday for Liverpool, the Octavia —the Sarah
Shrafe lias not commenced loading, although sho
is advertised for the same same port From 3-dths
to l-2d per lb. for Cotton, we believe, are the go
ing rates. No vessel up for any other port in Eu
rope. Coastwise Freights are from 62 1-2 cents
to $1 per bag for Cotton and 50 to 75 cents per
tierce for Rice.

REMARKS.
Cotton—The business for the season is nearly
over ; we have heard of no sales this week. From
all accounts the present crop will prove more a*
bundant than was expected. The loss sustained
by late frosts, having been, in a great measure,re
paired by the very iavorable seasons which have
since set in.
Groceries.—Salesof Sugar, Coffee andMolas*
sea, have been made at prices corresponding with
our quotations, principally for the up-country—
The market is sufficiently supplied for the time of
year.
Corn—ls retailing at from 50 to 65 cents, ac*
