The s oling ininter of ii vessel belonging) to n port on the Kast coast of Scotland was on a voyage to the Mediterranean, captured! I>_y llu Algerines, ami detained in slavery! lor 11 year?.; live id these employed at hard labour, with a bullet 11lb. weight fettered to one of his ancles, until happily released Innn so jiamlul a situation, in consequence ot the celebrated chastisement indicted on tiese barbarians by Admiral Lord Rxmouth. Returning to his naive town, sufliciently disguised in tattered apparel, a toil-worn countenance, and an unshorn heard, he! learnt that his wile,alter passing ten years) in -opposed widowhood, (ship, cargo, and I crew lacing conjectured to have perished at! sea,) hail married a second hush..ml; and that a smi, left apprentice to the book-bind- i ing business, now kept a book binding and , stationary shop, in which he was assistedj ( by a daughter. The liberated captive j sought nut and entered tbe shop, and on pretence of being recommended to a bed, ( invited himself home with them in the e ( veiling, and there found his Jane and her | new husband, enjoying themselves around ( tlie domestic hearth. Alter some circuit!- , locution and preparing the way, he inquired : (uamin'g his wile) if such a woman still liv- | cd in the place, and if she did, he had some ( intelligent e of her husband to communicate. , The question, under the present circum- | stances of the family, rather alarmed than , pleased, ami caused the stranger to be look- j ed upon with suspicion, h* meaning to im- , pose on them. At lengtli, assuming the ( well-known look and tone of umJiminished . affection, ho appealed to his Jane if sue did ( nut recognize him under all his conceal i ment. This appeal was not made in vain; j the recognition was on both sides lender ( . and nllecting. On being asked to which ol ( the two husbands she chose to attach her-, sell, the “ wile ol two husband*” emphati- ( rally exclaimed that Willie (the fi st hus- , hand) had been the betrothed of her youth, ( her first love, ami (lie parent of her chil- j dreu ; ami now that he was, as it were, res- , lured to her from the dead, her choice was to be his for file and death. Thc second husband having had it put in his option,, hv the real gudemati. to apprep. ate what , he could justly claim, acted extremely lion ( viable, choosing nothing save a gold watch j lie him-i ll' had presented to the supposed , widow when he wedded her, and on its he- ( iug restored, left the house, town, and that district of country, never since having been either seen or heard of. The prominent uctur ot this little interesting drama has now a vessel of Lis own, and is occasional ly in the uahit, in pursuance of his marine occupation, of visiting (lie port of Perth, ami tell* the tale of his romantic adventure as i really occurred, with an amusing pleas antry and original simplicity. J'l rlh Con tier. - uQ©- Scolch Courtship, —‘-Just before I was putten to my ’premiership, having made free choice of the tailoring trade, 1 hail a terrible! stound of a calflove. Never shall 1 forge tj it. I was growing up lung and lank as a willow-\vamt ; brawns to my legs, there were mine, as my Unwsers of other years too visibly effected to > ~>w. The yellow hair* hung down like a .lax-wig, the length of myj lantern jaws, which looked notwithstanding my \ apne-s and stilf appetite, as if eating ami ihey had broken up acquaintanceship. My b.ue jacket seemed in the sleeves to have picked a quarrel with toe wri-ls and had retreated to a tail below the elbows. The ha unc:i buttons, on the contrary, ap peared to have a strong liking to the stmuld ers, a itttle below which they showed their tarnished brightness. At the middle id the b. k the tails terminated, leaving the well worn rear ol my corderoys, like a full moon seen Mirongh a dark haze. ()h ! but I must I have been a b nmv lad. -My first llame was the minister’s Ijssie, J * **: e—a buxom and forward quean tvva or throe years older than mvsel. Fain would I have spoken to her, but it wou'd in do, my courage tailed me at the pinch, though she whiles gied me a smile when she passed me. f She used to go to the well every night, wi’ her twa stoups, to draw waterauer the man ner o’ the Israelites, at gloaming, so I thought of watching to gie her the twa apples, which . 1 carried in my pouch for more than a week lor that purpose. How she laughed when [ , stappit them into her hand, and brushed by without speaking. 1 stood at the bottom of the close ii|hming, and heard her laughing till she was tike to split. My heart Hap flap pit in my breast like a pair ’of fanners. It | was a moment ol heavenly hope : but 1 saw : Jamie Cooin the blacksmith, who I ayejeal , oused as my rival, coining down to the well. I saw her gie him one of the apples, and ] hearing him say “ where is the tailor?” with j a loud gaff'aw, I took to my heels, and never stoppit, till I found myself on the little stool by the fire-side ami the haimdy sound of my i mother’s wheel Iminhumtning in my lug, like a gentle lullaby.” New York, October 4. The Case of Reynolds, —Agreeably to the postponement of the sentence of Rey-| nolds and the adjournment of the Court of Oyer and Terminer to yesterday, the court assembled at 1 o’clock, when the prisoner i was placed at the Bar ami the usual ques tion asked, what he had to say why sen tence of death should not he pronounced against him. General Bogardus as coun- , sel for the prisoner, stated that the object 1 ol asking the question to a person convict led, why sentence should not be passed, was, j that if any good, and sufficient reason can he adduced, new light, any material 1 tact discovered, (ending to show the inno- 1 ,cence of the prisoner, the court in such lease was bound to suspend sentence and in- * istitute the necessary inquiries, so as to an swer thc immediate ends of justice. The counsel for the prisoner proceed ed to state, that after the conviction of Reynolds, cer tain lacts had come to his knowledge, which . he considered us calling loudly on the court 1 to suspend sentence. He proceeded toi 1 ;state them. Reynolds had been tried and 1 jeonvicted for murdering Capt. West on * .Friday, and it appears that testimony ex isted to show that Captain West was seen on Saturday , and a barber of character is ready to swear that he shaved him on Sa- ' turd ay afternoon, the afternoon previous tor his being found murdered in Governeur’s 1 slip. A woman, residing about one hun dred fee from Capt. West’s sloop, swore before the Coroner’s jury, and repeats, and! e amplifies her testimony, that on Sunday j s uuniing at I o’clock, she heard distinctly “ the cry of murder and help! proceeding from the sloop, followed by certain indis tinct noise and struggling ; her oath and 0 ■the barber’s were made before thc coroner’s jury, but were not considered important on J the trial.— There is no doubt, then, that the J: murder was committed late on Saturday night, or rather on Sunday morning. Now how is Reynolds to account for himself on Saturday night ? Mis landlady swears that he came in at uusk on Saturday—ate hisjT supper, and he and his wife went to bed ;!P tbe landlady says she locked her house up 11 at 1U o’clock,and carried up the k“y toiler f chamber, and that Reynolds was not out of his chamber. On these points, the counsel, i 1 in connection with Mr. Wilkins, prayed a 11 delay of the sentence, and (lie Court retir- c ed to consult, and after some time returned and gave their reasons for passing sentence) 1 ’ on the prisoner, which, after being detailed * at length, the judge recapitulated all the circumstances of the case, and, with feel ing, pronounced the sentence of the law, t adjudging Reynolds to sutler death on the c 19th of November, a The prisoner is a very young man, with e a countenance which exhibits no peculiar!- u ly, except a vacant inditlerent apathy, mix- v cd, however, with Hues or trait* of unfeel- c bigness. The facts discovered since his I trial, will not he without effect in an appli- f cation for executive clemency ; but thc tes- I timony, although circumstantial, is strong. -1 Reynolds admitted on his examination, 6 that lie saw West on Saturday lying in Lis ( v bedim the cabin floor, somewhat intoxicat-j eel. The next morning the murdered nian't was taken limn the dock; his nioiiey amlj.i Ihe keys of the cabin were ('omul on Rey-i nolds, ami he attempted to set up us own ] ( or of the sloop, and hauled her to another ! wharf. We sha\l, however, attend to any:; new facts. The 19th of November is on j l Saturday : tins was done, doubtless, to do aWay the superstitious notion-of hanging on Friday.

I was broken open, pillaged, and set on lire, j; j When discovered, it was so completely en- 1 (veloped in (lames, as to preclude the possi-'l bility ol saving any of the property.

The ship George Clinton, Capt.

The Liverpool market was in much the same state as before. No new failures had taken place. We have received London papers to the evening of the 26th August, and Lloyd’s List of the 23d. The British Parliament assembled on the 25th, and was further prorogued to the Ist of November. A new lithographic invention is announ ced at Brussels, by which the French papers: are to be copied and reprinted within two hours after the arrival of the Mail. It is reported that the Archduchess Maria t Louisa, widow of Bonaparte, lias been mar ried to the Count Niepperg, who is to be raised to the dignity of a Prince. [ It is stated that the British Government is opposed to the proposed expedition of Lord j Cochrane to Greece, which was started by |. the holders of the Greek loan.

Another expedition as strong as the fust was preparing in Egypt to act against tire Greeks. It was supposed most of the Egyp- 11 tian Heel hud gone to bring it. r London, August 26. Ij Our information from the continent receiv- '! ed this day, throws but little light on the subject of th > allairs of Greece. The capture 1 of Ibrahim Pacha continues to be asserted,' 1 but confirmation of the fact is wanted. Other reports state that the Arabs are:!? overrunning Arcadia, with fire and sword— that the Turkish ships have entered the ® Gulpli of Patras, and obliged the small u Greek ships to take refuge in the Gulph of j 1 Corinth—and that Redschid Pacha was a-i j bout to enter Eujlia, apdv*gain lay siege to ?! Missolonghi. * A conspiracy has been discovered at Na- | puli, headed by a Turk attired in the Euro pean costume, who professed great interest in the cause of the Greeks. He raised troops, ami had in his corps thirteen other k Turks. Their plan was to spike the cannon c at Napoli as the Turks advanced. After be mg put to tile torture, the traitor made a full V1 confession, and was burnt alive. w The Envoy from Tunis who recently ar- M rived at Paris, was conveyed home in u French frigate.

W New-York, Oct. 11. Fire. — A fire broke out about half-past six o’clock last evening, in the largo, and valuable four story fire proof store No. 45 Front-street, occupied by Messrs. Wardell, Van Beuren and Co. grocers, which was destroyed, with most of the property it con tained. The fire was said to have originated from the falling of a pipe of brandy out of the slings from a considerable height in the scuttle of the lioor, where it burst and com municated to a candle, which instantly set the whole in flames. The store contained a great quantity of spirituous liquors, the whole of which to the upper stories were soon m a blaze—and by the time the en gines arrived, the fire was bursting out in a large body from the roof. By great exer tions of the firemen, the adjoining buildings were saved from destruction ; the store of .Messrs. M. & J. Brett, No. 47, was con siderably injured. We were unable to ascertain the amount of Messrs. Wardell, Van Beuren & Co’s stock thus destroyed—it was variously es timated at from 30,000 to 50,000 dollars. (Notwithstanding the flames spread very rapid ly through! tie buildings, we understand they succeeded in saving their books and papers. Since Saturday morning, the atmosphere lias been filled with a thick haze or smoke, so that objects at but a little distance could not be discerned. Vessels bound in have probably found it necessary to stand oft’ from the coast, and the Steam-Boats have [been unable to run in the night. This [smoke is said to extend all along our coast, and it is supposed proceeds from the re cent extensive fires in the woods of Maine. No mail was received yesterday from the southward of Philadelphia—lhe cause is sup posed tobe that the Steam-boat from Balti more was unable to navigate in the night. Washington, October 10. It will be no news to our City Readers, but the information may serve for a compa rison of notes by those who reside in other parts of the country, that yesterday was the daikest Indian Summer day we have seen for several years. As was anticipated, from (be density of the fog (or smoke) on the pre- ' ceding evening, the regularity of the Mails so far as they depend on steam-boat trans- > poftafion, was deranged by it: the Eastern ( Mail beyond Baltimore wholly failed—the Southern Mail came to hand, but four hours alter its time. From the appearance of the * umospbere last evening, we need hardly < ook for the regular arrival of the Mails this 1 Jay.

If tins were called, however much man kind may be disposed to give as well as to re- ! ceive panegyricks on themselves, the age of ' benevolence,we do not believe that posterity ! would determine that we. have strayed very wide of historical fact ;& this principle can not be better illustrated than in the case of , the Savings Banks. How much property has thus been »aved to the industrious poor s —to orphans, to widows, which would have ' been perhaps expended in purchasing the poisonous oblivions of the buttle : How for- s , cibly are these thus benefitle.d. taught the tie- J eessity of small saving—habits of economy —the use and importance of self-denial— the property of putting a rein upon the ap petite. The son of intemperance beholds j his earnings secured to himself and to his family, and he cannot now say to himself a? 1 lie journeys >n quest of liquid poison, of ° what advantage can this five penny bit be ° to toe support of myself and my family—lt s . will purchase nothing but a dream.--Be-i ncvolcnce is thus made to act us it were as!* a guardian, not only over the property but ll over the minds, morals and maimers of those upon whom it is exercised. They see in 11 their own families the blessings resulting 1 from hugality, labor and order—they are taught habits of sclfrespect by the parental . anxiety shewn toward them by benevulent|| men : they find new charms to intercourse. 1* new motives to lab »r, new incentives frugal and parsimonious. A man who com-L pounds the fiery elements for the des:ruc-l ( tion of his species, who can invent some no-If velly in the science of destruction, who canq introduce some more comprehensive modeL of making widows and orphans, is eulogized 'f as a public benefactor—while lie who re-9 stores a reprobate to his home, peace to hlsi family, cheerfulness to the domestic hearths —is passed by with scarcely a word of commendation. Who does not envy the in- ( v -iitor of the Savings Bank his pillow re (lections, if he is now alive to enjoy suchp intercourse—who, if dead, would not plant > [a laurel on his grave moistened and con- [ sec rated by the tears of orphan gratitude.

PRINT i CONSTITUTION ALIS T. a— AUGUSTA. 1 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1825. J Foh a day or two back we have had win - ter weather, and on the nights ot the 19th t and 20th, hoar frost was perceptible in this i city, much to the joy of invalids, and great ■ ly to the annoyance of the musquitoe tribes, j. who had been fattening upon some of the best of our citizens for several months back. The National Gazette, of October Bth, t contains a labored vituperation of Gover j nor Troup and his friends (a majority of : the voters of Georgia) which we appre ’ hend will have no other effect than to ex hibit the degree of hostility which the re i publican party, throughout the Union, may t' calculate to meet with upon every question r' ‘ from the editor of that paper. lie has passed no opportunity of advo , eating the cause of the “ major General commanding” and of most grossly misre • presenting to our Northern and Eastern ' brethren the conduct of the Executive of r Georgia, and, mirabili dictu, we find some citizens of Georgia who virtually pat , ionise Mr. Walsh in his exertions, by up holding the same sort of political tenet . which has always characterised that paper. For the delusion of those of our citizens op- i posed to the present Executive,we have to la ment, still hoping for them political conver sion ; but for this aforesaid Mr. Editor, we have nothing but indignation at his officious intermeddling with Georgia concerns—a thing between this Stale and the General , Government, from which that busy little I body could not, for the soul of him, refrain. * M Rut what is most surprising the article has If it, there is a wide difference between the V \office and the incumbent— intending there- I by that Governor Troup’s friends should W not endeavor at the justification of the Ex- \ ecutive, became he, Troup, fills the Guber natorial Chair; and directly afterwards de- I nounces the very same men for presuming to differ with Edmund Pendleton—we ap prehend because he is—" major General Commanding.” However, the shaft of the Gazette will be too severely cut by the “killing frost” of the North before it reaches us of the South, to bring any thing of death upon its point, or even the ability to inflict a flesh wound.
