From “ Records <tf Woman:’ BY MHS. HEMAtfS. THE SPELLS OF HOME. u There Mend the ties that strengthen Our hearts in hours of grief, The silver links that lengthen Joy’s visits when most brief.” Bernard Barton. By the soft green light in the woody glade, On the banks ot moss where thy childhood play and; Bv the household tree thro which thine eye First looked in love to the summer sky ; By the dewy gleam, by the very breath Os the primrose tufts in the grass beneath, Upon thy heart there is laid a spell, Holy and precious—oh ! guard it well! Bv the sleeping ripple of the stream, Which hath lull’d thee into many a dream ; By the shiver of the ivy-leaves To the wind of morn at thy casement-caves ; By the bees’ deep murmur in the limes, Bv the music of the Sabbath-chimes, By every sound of thy native shade, Stronger and dearer the spell is made. Bv the gathering round the winter hearth, Whrn twilight called unto household mirth; re nnrj” J—a nW Tri that ring of happy faces told ; Bv the quiet hour when hearts unite !r, the parting prayer and the kind “good niglit; ’ Bv the smiling eye and the loving tone, O ver thy life has the spell been thrown. And bless that gift!—it hath gentle might, A guardian power and a guiding light. It hath led the freeman forth to stand In the mountain-battles of his land ; It hath brought the wandeivr o'er the seas To die on the hills of his own fresh breeze; And back to the gates of his father's hall, It hath led the weeping prodigal. Yes ! w’hen thy heart in its pride would stray From the pure first loves of its youth away ; When the sullying breath of the world w’ould come O'er the flowers it brought from its childhood's home! Think thou again of the woody glade, And the sound by the rustling ivy made, Think of the tree at thy father’s door, And the kindly spell shall have power once more # ! The vagaries of human superstitution are end less. There has lately arisen in England a sect protessing to be Christians, of which the following is an explanation of their doctrines, taken from the preface to their liturgy: The Title. — 11 The Holy Liturgy. , or Divine Service , upon the principles o i pure Christian Diabolism , most strictly founded upon ihe Sacred Scriptures and the most approved tenets of the Grecian, Roman, •German, Genevan, and English Churches, being an Universal and proper form ol prayer fi*r all Christians, excepting those only who impiously reject the Scriptural doctrine of the. personal existence of the Devil; prepared for the uso of the congre gation which assembles under the pastor ship of the Rev. Robert Wedderburn, by special command. London, printed at the University Press, (fee. Cum. Privilegio. The Preface. —“ Startle not, gentle Christian reader, at the name of Diabolic cal Christians ; but carefully, as thou va luest thine Eternal Salvation, examine the Scriptural principle of this new sect, and say, if they are not justified, by all that is held sacred, in Christian Revelation, and by the most seriously disposed Christians. It is not a profane hand, it is not the hand of the reviler, that passeth over this page: but the hand of a most sincere Christian. He might not be of thy sect; but, for his dissent from thee, he is not the less a Chris tian. He hath most studiously deduced, from the Sacred Scriptures and from the little less Sacred Writings of the most holy men of the general Christian Church, the best and most consistent Christian tenets that he can find, agreeable to his own dis - interested judgement or agreeably to that judgement which is deeply interested in the present and future happiness of self and all mankind. “The Diabolical Christians hold the doctrine, that the Almighty God is full of power and Goodness; power to supply all our wants and goodness to dispose him so to supply them; that they cannot perceive the propriety of addressing troublesome complaining, and ill-judged prayers to a divine Being, *vho is alike omnipotent, om - nipresent, omniscient, aud omnibcnevolent. To offer this Deilv a prayer is, at least, to doubt his goodness and his attention to ward us To presume, that the Majesty of Heaven can be offended at our ignor ance and our general imperfections, is, to presume in derrogation from his omnis cience and general perfections. Far be this failing, this presumption, fit m us, who associate in public worship, upon the prin ciples of Pure Christian Diabolism. “Our prayers shall be all most properly addressed to the Majesty of Heit; io mat “Uod of this world, ’ to that Imperfect, that Omnimalcvolent , though Powerful Being, The Devil. This it is, that will justify our assumed appellation of Chris tian Diabolism. “We feel our justification, in the circum stance, that the God of Heaven is so much above our imperfections, as to be a Beina not to be feared; while the God of Hell and “of this world,” partakes in part of our character and imperfections, and is, consequently, from his power superior to I ours, Being to be feared, to be worship - j ptd to be cajoled with prayer; and it may j be, that the Majesty ot Heaven will make i us weak mortals instrumental in the conver- ! sion of the Majesty of Hell, from the er ror of his ways; that conversion and re storation having been divinely predicted, as the necessary preliminary to the con summation of all earthly things! “We ha ve said em ugh, iu the plainness end simplicity of nur hearts, as a preface, to our form of prayer, and, with the strong hope of doing good, of bringing about “glory to God and peace, and good will among men,” we leave each Christian rea der to form an opinion of its merits. Our congregation will be open: we shall shrink from no examination, and we invite full observation, before any one presume to judge and condemn us.” Duke Bernard, of Saxe Weimar, has been ap pointed Governor General of the Dutch posses sion* in the East Judies. j By the line whip Saluda, at Charleston $\ New York, Oct, 11.

The arrival of the Birmingham, (Bth Sept, packet ship) Capt Harris, from Liv erpool,has put us in possession of our regu lar files of Papers, Prices Current, Circu lars, Shipping and Lloyd s Lists, &c. from Liverpool to the Bth, London to the eve ning of the 6tb, and Greenock and Glas gow to the sth ult all inclusive; extracts from which are given in our columns this morning From the Theatre of War.— London datps of Saturday evening, half past 7, publish the following Russian Bulletins. — It must be remembered that Russians tell their story in their own way iu their bul letins. Russian Bulletins.—-At a late hour this afternoon we received three bulletins of the Russian army. The first dated Chunda, August 7, and contains an account of the operations which are carryingon against that fortress. Nothing remarkable had, kuwat ‘ir, taken place since the departure of the Empet or, with the exception of a cannonading between the tiraiHcurs of the Russian advanced posts and the Turkish tirailleurs. The Russian position had been completely fortified. The Turkish posi tion had been reconnoitered, and it was found that they had, upon a chain of heights which touched their left flank, vast entrenchments, flanked by bastions. * It was rumored, that Chumla was in want of provisions, and especially of forage for the cavalry, which had not quitted the fortress. The second buletin is dated Varna, Aug. 11, and it details the operations of the Russian fleet and army against that fortress. On the evening of the 17th, the Turks made a vigorous sally to drive the Russians from their position; but, after a murderous conflict, which lasted until sunset, they, were repulsed, and retired into the place, after suffering a severe loss. During the night of the 7th to the morning of the Bfh, the Russian flotilla made an attack on that of the Turks, and, notwithstanding a des perate resistance, .succeeded in capturing and towing to the fleet fourteen vessels, besides cannon and ammunition. The Russians lost in this affair four men killed and 27 wounded. On the 9th, the Turks made a fresh attempt to dislodge the Russians from their positions, hut they were repulsed and pur sued to the foot of the ramparts. In these sorties the Russians had 25 men killed and 37 wounded. The Tuiks, it is added, had been employed two whole days in burying their dead. The Russians claim to have been equally successful in resisting the sorties of the garrison of Silistria. Frontiers of Poland, Aug 19. —It is said, that the Grand Duke Constantine has received directions from the emperor, his brother, to put in motion, as soon as pos sible, a corpse of 30,000 men of the Po lish army. Odessa , Aug . 13, —Last Sunday the Em peror came to the residence of her Ma jesty the Empress, in this town, in order to attend divine service. His majesty after wards gave a private audience to Lord Hey teshury, the British Ambassador Extraor dinary, who arrived here on the 9th, after which his excellency had the houor to be presented to her majesty tne empress and to the Grand Duke Michael. We hear that his Majesty will set out on the 22d to return to the army. It is cer tain that by that day all the reinforcements, which amount to nearly 85,000 men, must have joined the army of Shumla and that a grand attack will then he made, unless the operations, which will be carried on in the mean time, should have led to an ear lier, developement of the great crisis. The Sultan is forming a vast reserve in the rear of the Balkan, south of Varna, in the neighborhood of Aides and Ensineh Balkan, whence he means to contest the passage of the Balkan. He is to command in person, as soon as he has sent off all the necessary troops from the capital. Gallipoit, on the shores of the Helles pont, is put on the war establishment, and two Pachas has been sent to the castles of the Dardanelles. When the Sultan was informed of the French expedition to the Morea, several councils were held; in which it was discus sed whether war should not/be declared a gainst France. The question was not de cided in the affirmative, b(t firmans were dispatched to all the Pachas of the empire, and to the commanders of the empire, and to the commanders of maritime places; and lastly, to all the officers of his Highness, that they should hold themselves ready a* gainst any surprise by \be French, who were suspected of adhering to the cause of the Infidels. This was particularly ad dressed to the Pacha of Egypt, with a repetition of the order forbidding him to take any steps for the departure of his troops from the Morea. The New Times of Sept. 4th says; Let ters from tlie Russian capital do not dis guise the tact, that anew levy, of a very extensive kind, has been ordered, as well as that bodies of dispoiable troops he sent |on to the theatre of war. It is ajso said ihat i 6ie losses of the Russians have been infin itely greater than acknowledged in the bul letins, and that the hardships endured by the troops are of a most appalling nature. It is also confidently believed in the diplomatic circles in Paris that a com plete understanding was established be tween the Rusriau and French Cabinets, previously iu ihe sailing of the expedition from Toulon, in case either, or both, should he arrested in their career, by any’ com bined or separate movements on the part of Great Britain and Austria; nay, it is e vent added, in Paris letters of a highly po litical character that this convention will not be long before it makes its appearance in public. Ihe New times.also says:-The campaign of present season is ended. The passage oFtlie Bulkan in 1828 is not to be accom plished, andj if Varna should be able to itartd out many months lon-jar, the RuS sians, we presume, will take up their win ter quarters on the north side of the Dan ube J£ven should Shumla fall, the occu* nation ol that position will be untenable, unless supplies can be produced through Varna. The war, has therefore taken an unexpected turn, and small politicians who had settled it, almost before it had commenced, may now amuse themselves by lauerhing at each other. England.— Our Minister, Mr. Barbour, has been introduced to Lord Aberdeen. It is stated, that Parliament will meet in November, to form a Committee on the Catholic Claims, and then adjourn until January, when the Report will be received A petition to the King against any fur ther concessions to the Roman Catholics, is now in the course of signature in every county of Great Britain. London Sept. 6, Evening.—The re tirement of the Duke of Clarance from the important office of Lord high Admiral, it is now said, in the nfival circles will not take place. The Lord Chancellor, it is added, some days since, had a long con ference with his royal highness and his lordshin is occupied in remodelling tho form of the patent by virtue of which that office is held. The Duke of Clarence still continues to perform the duties of the of fice, and occasionally comes to town at Busby, to preside at the Admiralty. Portugal. —Quiet and calm. The Is land of Maderia, is making active prepara ’ tions to resist the Miguelties. The block ading squadron have reached the Island, From the New Times. Greece. — The news from Corfu of the 23d of July are of a very different char acter from what we had reason to expect. Twenty five transports it is said have ar rived at Navarino fiom Alexandria, but instead of coming to convey Ibrahim and his troops home, they have brought him provisions and soldiers. It is added, that immediately consequent on this arrival, Ibrahim sent detachments into the interior, which according to their custom, have laid Taste all before them. The .English and French Admirals, on hearing of the news sailed from Corfu to Navarino. From the Barbary States. —The emperor of Morocco it would appear, by letters from tho Med iterranean, is hardy enough to risk a quarrel at the same time with three of the great european powers, having seized and detained the English brig Perseverance, and two vessels bearing the -Russian and Austrian flags. The British consul general made a formal protest against the cap ture of the Perseverance, and forwarded a de mand for her release to the emperor. The giound for her detention appeared to be that she was not provided with a Mediterranean pass. It is reported that the Austrian envoy to the Russian head quarters, died suddenly within 48 hours after his arrival; some of the Paris editors suggest that the conferences would be deferred on that account. • LATEST fllOJtf COLOMBIA. Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Baltimore Gazette , dated “Caracai, 6th Sept. 1028. “Since my last, nothing of moment has occured here-*-Bolivar, at rite head of Co lombia, with full pow er to do as he pleases, appears to ,be the unanimous wish of the people—All political discord has vanished; A Commissioner has been appointed tore port a plan, to alter the present system of Administration of Justice —a worse system than the present probably cannot be found in any part of the world—it has, and still does, cause groat misery, and Bolivar is determined to get rid of it, and with it the Administrators themselves —The Munici palities, or Corporaciones, the last vestige of the wretched representative system, are also to be done away with—A vigorous police has been established, and good order and tranquility ,are the consequences—lt is true, there is much distress, 1 mean pe cunary distress—but this must be attributed to the immense amount of paper issued during the wretched administration of Gen. Santander. • “Bolivar’s first step was to cut off the root of the evil—and to do this, it became necessary to suspend the payment of the Government paper. The consequences have been attended with a general curtail ment of the credit system, and all things are brought down nearly to a cash basis— The Commercial distress, therefore, has been extreme, and this added to the ral want of confidence arising from the po litical changes have taken place since 1826, have caused real distress—time y hard work, and economy, are considered by Bolivar’s party as actually necessary to purify the country, and ultimately there is little doubt that they will effect a cure—yet all consider the times as cruelly hard—and, without looking into the cause that have produced this state of things, have first a bused one measure, and then another, un til at last all have agreed that patience is absolutely necessary—and so say I. Hard! work and economy are powerful weapons to make a people rich—and, I trust Boli- j var will have never enough to continue the present system without resorting to the 1 issue of paper, except so far as the Gov ernment is compromitted, with regard to a description of paper called Vales—but Bolivar says the Government is bankrupt, and have not the means, however advanta geous the circulation of Vales might be— The merchants, who are the holders of three-fifths of the Vales, grumble much. ‘‘lt is believed here, that there will be no war with Peru. Exports On banrA at laotguyra Indigo, $1 75 per lb. Coffee, 9 50 a 75 per 100 lb. Cocoa, 22 1-2 per 100 lb. Hides, 11 per 100 lbs.” The following letter from a valuable cor respondent at Marseilles, is of peculiar in terest just at this time, as it shows the ef fect of the famous expedition to the Mo ren, not only the public mind but upon bu siness in the south of France. N Y Jour . of Com. Marseilles, 25th Aug, 1328. Busi ness during the season here has been quite dull, ©r exported to America. Freights were as low as in N. York, aud tho’ there were but three or four American vessels in port, they could not find employment. But the Morean Expedition, and the re ports of short crops in the interior (of corn and oil) have restored activity. Aboufthc Bth inst 50 French vessels were chartered to proceed to Toulon of transports for the first envoy. Several regiments with their officers left here on the 12th, and have since embarked. Toulon was thronged with hundreds of people who had come to witness the embarkation; and indeed the whole of the region between here and there, both by land and sea, has been all alive with this movement. The soldiers are fine looking men, in the vigor of life, and well equipped —they went off in fine spirits It would seem from the prepara tions they do not anticipate an idle cam paign, or merely a show of force in the Levant The officers selected are well experienced, but nevertheless in the vigor of life; an ample armament, and the means for throwing up temporary fortifications have also been furnished. W ithin a few days, 40 or 50 more French vessels at dis posal, recourse has been had to other flags: a number of English, Danish and Sweed ish vessels have been taken —and the Cam ton and Progress, Americans, more are wanted. This will leave but three of our vessels in port, and a great hole in the French shipping. Such of the latter as were employed in the coasting and colony trade cannot be replaced by our flag, but. I in the neutral trade they will have a chance. The vessels are ordered to Toulon by the lst*Sept and the troops will probably em bark on the 10th. Such is the pressure of the occasion that the laborers at; the ship yards have been prohibited by authority from working on any except transport. I The Small Pox has been making con siderable ravages in the old town among the lower classes, who are in many in stances not innoculated. It has lately extended its ravages into the other quar ters of the citv, and we are sorry to num ber among its victims, Mr. Mark Rubaud, of the firm of Rubauid, Brothers and Cos. a house well known in America. The ! Varioloid is also prevalent, but it is not so * fatal. The Priest and Jesuits smarting under the new laws, pretend to say it is the plague, sent upon them for their Impi ety in persecuting the Clergy, and that all the vaccination in the world will do no good This doctrine has been openly preached by them. The northern ports of France- have been opened, and from the favorable re ports of the crops in the interior, it is ex pected this port will also be opened.— French Wheat as well as foreign, in bond, have risen considerably# American Rice will probably be in demand, particularly if the war shoulc continue Sumac lias ad vanced and in demand. All the American Rice has been taken out of market by the government, at 18f; and some hundred barrels Beef and Pork have been sold as soon as they arrived, for the use of the expedition. In American Cottons little has been doing for the last three months.* the stock is only about 100 bales U. States, in first hands, with prices as below. Coffee appears to have seen its lowest, and is more in demand at an ad vance 1-2 to 1 sol per lb. fine greens are most wanted. The trade with the Levant, it is expected, will suffer no interruption, though accounts from Smyrna to the 20th July represent this article as dull, owing to the warm weather, which had prevented the departure of the caravans. Sugars are in good demand, particularly white and brown dry Havanas—the stocks are quite small, say 400 boxes white, and 500 brown No arrivals lately, and fresh supplies will come to a ready market; Brazil and other qualities steady at our quotations Buenos Ayres and Rio Hides very scarce and in demand, none in first hands. Sales of 1000 salted Brazil made this week at 83f 50c per cwt. in bond. West India and Span ish Main as per quotations. This article is in good demand during the fall and winter. Stock of Pepper reduced to about 20,000 quintals: the article has advanced within a month, and appears to be doing better.— Cocoa is as dull here as in all other places in Europe; stocks large and no demand; Caraccas is the only description that can be sold here. Drugs and Dyes—lndigoes dull; some ceroons Bengal have heeu sold at lOf per half kiln in bond. Galls lower. Opium steady at 13f to 14f for Constantinople; for Smyrna 13f. Spanish Saffron, dull.— Sugar of Lead steady Cream Tartar dull at quotations. Verdigris, dry in good de mand, and considerable purchases have been made at 19c in bond. Logwood cur rent at 6f to 50c. Great speculations are taking place in manufacturing Olive Oil, which has risen ; in a month from 56f to 64f; Eating Oil, in | baskets, has also risen. Soap as per quo tations. W. O.
