MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, OCT. 3, 1825.
Christ is more frequently end more deeply
wounded in the house f hie friends than bis pro
fessed followers are apt to imagine. Between the
existing branches of the Church, there is a jea
lousy which prevails, if not to the total extinction
of real Christian charity, to the exclusion of that
oordial fellowship which ought to be cultivated
and cherished amoug members of the same family
arid heirs ot the same kingdom. It never should
he forgotten that the Church of Christ is one,
however diversified its branches, or the materials
of which it is composed. And it becomes the
duty ol all its members to study its peace, its pu
purity, its unity, its object, and carefully avoid
giving offence to any, even the least—lest they
should incur the frown of Heaven upon their own
souls. The first and only question to be settled
is, in what light the different branches of what is
called file Christian Church, are to be held ? As
belonging the true Church of Christ—or to the
synagogue of Satan ? If in the judgement of Chris
tian charity, they are considered among the ran
somed of ihe Lord, why feel a jealonsj at their
success, even if they do nut in any respect “follow
with us?” There is much “wood and hay and
stubble” that will be burnt up—much dross iu
the purest gold, that is to be consumed, and in
what church can we look for spotless purify and
perfection in its doctrine and discipline? “All
oome short of the glory of God.” Every thing in
which frail human nature is connected must ne
cessarily be imperfect. We ought then, to for
bear judging , “that W'e be not judged,” and re
member that “the same measure we mete will be
measured unto us.”
The fact that we are engaged in the same cause,
and are striving to promote thosnme glorious ob
ject, should induce us “ to be helpers of each oth
’ er’sjuy.” But if we bite and devour one anoth
er, wt should take heed lest we he devoured one
of another. Is a brother a Baptist, a Methodist,
a Presbyterian or an Episcopalian, and does he
exhibit the meekness and humility and zeal of a
Christiau ? The name by which he is distinguish
ed should he forgotten in the fact that he “ is a
fellow citizen of the saints ami of the household of
God.” There will be no distinctions in Heaven,
only as superior piety will lift some nearer the
throne, and give them more increased cup of
bliss than others. Why, then, have distinctions
upon ihe earth. 1 Or if they be necessary for the
“ edifiemion of the body of Christ,” let us not
widen them —But pray that the watchmen on
Zion’s walls may see alike—may fee! alike—may
forget names and titles, and he absorbed in the
only grand objects worthy of (heir toil, the glory
of Go.I and the salvation of souls.
They who are called by the name of Christ,
should eter remember that they are few— and
that united efforts are necessary to ensure suc
cess. Let them unite and they are a host—divide
them and Zion is speedily laid waste. The world
takes advantage of these divisions to reproach the
name of Cliri*l. Those who feel the spirit of their
Master are disheartened, and they can do little
else than weep over the ruins of the church—
Oh. that another spirit may prevail, and that a
spirit of love, of meekness, of forbearance, cp
faith unfeigned, of simplicity, of Godly sincerity
—“ then shaii our light go forth as brightness, anil
the salvation of the Lord as a lamp (hat burnetii.”

LIVERPOOL MARKET , Aug. 16.

speculations in cotton, hid fair to leave the wrecks
of many fortunes in thiir train Another exten

■ Extract of a letter from Liverpool , Aug. 13.
H “ Our cotton market at the beginning of last
Week was thrown into a state of great alarm, by
He failure of two extensive houses in the Charles-
Un and Savannah trade, and whose stocks of cot-
IjMpn are large. About 6000 bags belonging to one
them, and pledged in .he hands of Brokers,
THWfere immediately declared for sale by auction >.n
HKe 12th Our prices became quite nominal; but
evening of the 10tt. a purchase of 8000
rH speculation, made by one or (wo parties,
infaip firmness into the market again. In
this instance, a'decline of Id per ib. had been
submitted to, and there sopn appeared to he ma
ny purchasers on the same terms—but some ad
vance again was obliged to be giveu. The public
sale of the 12th, was well attended, and went off
with spirit, the trade being the chief buyers. —
There was afterwards a pretty good demand, part
ly on speculation—and at the close of the week
the depression in prices which had taken place in
1 the early part of it, was fully recovered. The
total sales in the course of the week were 19,900
bags, of which, 4000 Egyptian, 3500 Brazil, 2500
American were taken on speculation, and some
further quantity has been taken on speculation.
l not yet reported pnblickly. Our imports amoun
\ ted to 26,700 bag*, of which 16 000 were from
! the United States, and a good many vessels have
come in, which swell our import list again for this
week. These continued heavy arrivals tend
much to keep down the markets, while the neces
| sities of many of the holders produce at the same
time, too much disposition to sell, otherwise the
present would have probably had more effect up
!on our price. We quote upland.s at Bto 11 l-2d
dug. 16th—There was a fair demand for cot
ton yesterday,—about 3000 bags were sold, —half
of which, was taken on speculation, by the same
parties who bought before, and consisting chiefly
of American. There is ag.ain a fair inquiry thii
morning.
An estimate of the stock of Cotton in the ports
of Great Britain, shews it to be 183,000 bags less
than in January last. A rise, therefore, may be
expected in a few months.
From. Ike X. Y. Observer of Sept. 17.
Latest from Greece. —The accouuts received
by the arrivals from Europe during the past week
are very encouraging to the friends of the Greeks.
Notwithstanding the temporary success of Ibra
him Pacha, it appears that at the latest dates he
was in a very critical situation, and we should
not be surprised if the next arrivals should bring
us intelligence of the destruction of ail Ihe forces
under his command. It seems that soon after
the capture of the fortress of Navarino, which i9
near the S. W. extremity of the Morea, Ibrahim
at tiie head of his army marched into the interior
in a N. E. direction to Tripolizzac, which is in
the centre of the peninsula, and succeeded with
out much difficulty in capturing the place, the
Greeks retreating before him. Meeting with lit
tle resistance, he continued his march in a N. E.
direction completely across the peninsula to Na
poli de Romania, at the head of the gulf of Na
poli on the eastern coast. Here, however, lie
was checked in his career by the brave Ypsilanti,
who made a bold and successful resistance, ami
by Colocolroni, who having raised ,a considerable
hojy of Greeks, fell upon the rear of the Egyp
tian army on the 16th of June, and killed 300
men. On (he 17th the Egyptians coimneuced
ttu ir retreat. On the 20th they sustained fresh
losseo near Tigea. By this time the army of Co
locotroni had increased to 16,000 men. On the
241 h, Ibrahim sustained a now defeat, and was
soon after so completely surrounded iu the defiles
of (he interior of the Morea, that it was thought
it would he difficult if not impossible for hjiu to
reach the sea coast.
General Roche, who was sent to Greece by
the committee at Paris, to obtain information re
specting the state of affairs, writes from Argos, on
the 2d auiy, that all the Peloponnesus had risen
in a mass, and that the Egyptian army was anni
hilated. “ Nevtr was a popular movement,” lit
says, “ mure terrible and more just, for the life
or death of a population of 400,000 souis Was
at stake.”
These account? which were received by the
way of England, are confirmed by a letter dated
July 20, received at Boston, directly from Leg
horn, which mentions ihe receipt of a despatch
from Colocolroni to (lie Greek Senate, in which
lie says that he lias so encircled Ibrahim Pach.
iliat he will be in a few days compelled to sur
render. With this prisoner, says the writer of
the letter, the Greeks will b<- able to repay the
loan iu England, as Ibrahim is immensely rich,
independent ot his father.
Verbal report lias been received at Leghorn on
the 1 Jth of August, of the capture of Ibrahim Pa
cha. The accounts were brought by ‘he masters
of two vessels, one of whom had spoken a Greek
man of war, and been told (hat the Turkish chief
was carried to Hydra. The other came from
Cyprus, where he said the rumour of his capture
was current.
Accounts from Corfu, to the Gtb of July, state
that Redschkl Pacha had been compelled to raise
the sirge of Missoloriglii, in consequence of a sor
tie of the garrison, by which he experienced, it is
ioid, a very considerable lass.
On the water, success has uniformly attended
the Greeks. The writer of the letter from Leg
horn says—
•‘Admiral Miaulis is now before Suda, (on tbe
coast of Candia) with fifty Grecian ships and
ten brulots. He has written to the Senate that
he will perish, or destroy the whole of the squad
ron inSudu. This is composed of about 50 Egyp
tian vessels, 27 Turkish vessels, which escaped
from the destruction of the Turkish squadron neai
Athens, and 15 or 13 belonging to the Algerines
and Tunisians, iu all about 90 to 100 sail of ship*
of war and transports. Modon, Coron, and Pa
tras, are so closely blockaded, that not a fishing
boat can enter or escape. On board of the 37
Turkish vessel? brought into Hydra, Were 45 Aus
trian officers, who, it is nid, were put to death.
The other vessels, nearly 60, were burnt or driv
en on shore. In those taken were found im
inense quantities of provisions, ammunition, and
clothing. Among these were 2000 barrels of
powder.”
General Odysseus, who was in prison in the
citadel at Athens, awaiting the determination of
ihe Gieek Government with regard to his t'ate,
made an unsuccessful attempt to escape by a rope
ovor the wall, which broke, and caused bis imme
diate death. If he had lived a few days, he
would have been included iu the general pardon.
Extraordinary exertions are making in N. York,
for celebrating, in the most imposing manner, the
! meeting of the Atiantick and Erie seas, through
| the- Grand -State Canal. The 20th of October
has been assigned for (he event, and it is proposed
that a splendid celebration shall take place on
that day. A meeting has been held in the city
of New York, to concert measures for the pur
pose, when it whs proposed to station cannon at
short intervals from Buffalo to Sandy Hook, so’
that Ihe entrance of the first boat from the Lake
into the Canal may he aunuuced throughout the
State by one grand feud joie. When the boat
enters the Hudson, at Albany, it is proposed I hat
‘he be received by a flee*, of steamboats, embrac
i itig all ihat ply upon the New York waters; and
; that she be escorted in triumph to Sandy Hook,
\in full view of the broad ocean. It is supposed
\ that fifty steamboat* will volunteer on the occa
! sion, nil of which are to be superbly decorated
1 with flag*, emblems, and devices. On entering

Gratitude. —ln the advance of the French army
in the fatal campaign against Russia, a French
Colonel, whilst stroling the suburbs of Wilna,
heard cries of distress from a house, and entering
to ascertain the cause, he found four soldiers enga
ged in plunder, and ill-treating an aged Jew and
a young girl, who appeared the only inhabitants.
He instantly interfered, bul the murderers, not
being inclined to relinquish their prey, proceded
to blows, and the Colonel, who was an excellent
swordsman, laid two of his assailants dead on the
spot, and drove the other twj from the house, se
verely wounded—he himself received some slight
wounds, and a ball grazed lis cheek. The old
Jew and his daughter were profuse in their thanks,
-and tlie Colonel at their rsqnest, made their
house his head-quarters during the period his re
giment remained in W ilna. On the return of the
remnant of the French army, oppressed with fa
tigue, want, and disease, the worn-out soldier in
rags, sought the dwelling of thd Jew, and with
difficulty was recognised, so completely changed
was his appearance. Every service that active
benevolence and gratitnde could prompt was in
stantly exerted—the Jew, his daughter and house
hold, wept over him, watched his bedside, nursed
him with the fondest care, and when the Russians
entered, kept him concealed till he yas perfectly
recovered. The Jew then completely furnished
his wardrobe, and contrived to send him through
the hostile armies to France. At the peace, the
. Colonel was obliged to retire on a miserable pit
tance, which an aged mother and a sister shared.
He had forgotten the Jew at Wilna, when, one
evening, in the spring of 1816, a man called at I
his humble abode in the suburbs of Paris, and hav- j
ing satisfied himself as to his identity, placed in i
bis hands a package, and vanished, On opening
it, the Colonel found bills Qn a banker in Paris to
the amountof £ 5,Q00, witb the following note:—
“ Hz, whose daughter you preserved from a bru
tal ravisher, whose life you saved, and whose!
house you protected from plunder, at the imrne- j
diate risk of your own existence, sends you an j
humble offering of his gratitude, in the hope it j
may be useful to you, and which he can spare |
from the ample means he possesses—tbe only re- ]
turn be requires is, that if ever hereafter, you
bear the Jews contemned,you will say that one of
that race knew how to be grateful.”
The sequel is still more extmordinaiy. Tlie
Old Jew died at Vienna—his daughter,the heiress
of his immense wealth, the largest portion of
which was in the French funds, vi.-ited Pari*: —
it was natural she should seek the brave mau who
had preserved her from the worst of fates, and
with no common emotion*, he found the young

DIED.
On Sabbath evening, 26th Sept. Isaac M.
; Wai.es, Esq. formerly one of the Editors of this
paper, aged 50. Mr W. was a n:.ti ve of Connec
ticut, and belonged to one of the first classes that
’ graduated at Yale, under the Presidency of the
1 venerable Dr. Dwight, in which institution his fa
(ther was al*o a Professor. He was bred to tin-
I law, and followed that profession-till his removal
jto the South in 1816. when he relinquished it for
j pursuits more congenial to bis own feeliugs. In
|Ms disposition he was. remarkably arniabie and
| conciliating. His mind, naturally discriminating,
j had become richly furnished on almost all sub
! jects of a general and political nature, and he
| had the remarkable faculty of speaking bis own
i sentiments without giving any offence to those
1 whose opinions differed from his. His conduct
was exemplary. He remembered tliab be was n
j Christian, and appeared to act in reference to the
i judgment day. As Chri*t had forgiven him, so
| he forgave others, nor did lie “ let the sun go down
upon his wrath.” In every benevolent institu
. lion he was active to the exteut of his abilities,
and (tie very Sabbath before he died, he superin
| tended tlie Sabbath School in this place, which
j owed its origin principally to his exertions. On
! Monday he attended his school several miles from
tLis place, but returned to bis family on Wednes
| day, with a fever of a most malignant type. As
| he was sinking, his friends asked him what be
| thought of death, to which he replied, “ I do not
] dread it—Christ is to me infinitely preciou*—l
| know in whom I have believed.” In such a case
! as this, “ why do we mourn departing friends ?”
i There is infinite gain to those whom Christ causes
thus to triumph over deutii. Cur sympathies
should be for ourselves—for Ihe living —for Zion,
as one of her pillars is fallen.

their health. Both were blessed with pious mo
thers, who carefully instructed them in the prin
ciples of the Christian religion. Mr. Parker, two
weeks before his death, gave the most satisfactory
evidence of a change of heart, and earnestly in
treated his friend Mr. Boardman, who visited him
during part of his sickness, and followed hi* re
mains to the gram—to prepare immediately to
meet his God by repentance for sin and faith in
(lie Lord Jesus. Their hearts, he observed, had
been knit together like those of David and Jona
than, and he earnestly desired (hat they might be
brothers in Christ. His admonitions appear to
have had an effect, for Mr. B. expressed at that
time a deep sense of bis sins, and was distressed
because he could feel no more ; and the night be
fore he died, he gave to a clergyman that visited
him tlie same evidence of his being prepared lor
the solemn change that awaited him. Both of
these young gentlemen died much regretted.—

When the angel of death breathes (he blast of
dissolntion in the face of old age, or protracted
infirmity, we are apt to view it as an event in the
common course of nature, and submit witb quiet
resignation ; but when blown on one in the vigour
of youth, and redolent glow of health : wiiose
countenance, but a few days since, was blooming
with all the buoyancy and gayety of youthful in
nocence, and whose cheek did
Alternately whiten and glow,
Like the ruby imprisoned in snow,
whose ruby lips were parted in the circle of her
family and friends, by the silver breath of duty
and affection to her parents, and love aDd esteem
for her brothers and sisters; when such is the
victim of the King of Terrors, obdurate indeed
must be the heart, that does not feel a reluctance
in seeing so fair a flower blighted in its opening
bud. Such was Miss Rebecca J. Brooking,
fourth daughter of Capt. Edward B. Brooking, of
this county, who departed this life on Sunday
evening ihe 11th ult. in the 16th year of her age,

parture of such a child, at such an age, is a loss
which her fond parents alone can feel, but which
cannot be portrayed. She was the pride of a do
ting mother, and blooming hope of a fond father,
a kind sister, and affectionate friend ; but she
has gone hence, yet not*, without a hope of re
alizing the redeeming efficacy of Ihe blood
of the Lamb, which she expiessed but a few
hour* before her flight from this sublunary sphere
of tribulation and woe. As she died in the hope
of enjoy ing ablest immortality, may 1 not shy,
Farewell, sweet girl ! thou hast flown to realms
above,
There to join in the throng of angels bright;
To commingle tby sweet voice in accents of love.
