of getting rid of the terrible bead. Following the ex ample of the tailor's wife, he deter mined to pass it over to a neighbor. To execute this determination, it was necessary that his father should assist him; aryl the Jul owing was the plan pursued: At the turning of the street in which the baker re sided. there stood a barber's shop, and it was to him the heath was destined? As a pretext, the baker first went'to the hatter with en invitation to take a walk with him. while the son followed his father at little distance, carrying the head hid under his mantel, and entered the shop, the moment the barber and his fath er had left it. On the chnir. where the barber's cus tumers were wont to seat thernselveche placed a piece of wood of the size of a human body, on which he planted the head, and tied a shaving cluth over the wood which he bud enveloped in anold frock. On re turning, the barber, casting his eyes on the figure. thought that it at a cu , tumer awaitintr ' him. 'You are %LT!, ear ly ," he exclaimed. Finding that no tans wer was returned, he continued; "Ali! ate! I see now; he is dumb.' With this exclamation, he prepared the necessary articles, and placed himself sr/art:hm o rtent; to com mence his shoving openition. At the first touch of his hand, the head lost its equilibi ium, and fell rolling to a corner of the shop. Astonished at this, so unless pected an event, the barber. though terrified at the moment, was less an than the tailor. After a short time spent in consideration, he took up the bead and commenced to examine it. By a small tuft of hair that grew on its crown, be recognized it as belong to a Musselman which stimulated him to the same desire as that of its preceding possessors—that of promptly getting rid of it. Placing therefore the head under his mo t tle, he bent his way tuwards an eating house, kept by a Greek, who lived a few doors from him, and where he often went to take his meals. ALandlord,' he exclaimed on entering, 'as this day is norone of fasting, prepare me a good piece of roasted thuttcto and a dish of rice." After giving this order. the barber stole into the heek shop to light his pipe. when, seizing an opportu nity, he hid the head under it quantity of pieces of meat that were piled on the fettle, and then left the room.— A few moments after, the master, in preparing to ar- range the meat for cookies, discovered the head. His astonishment and fear were even greater than the pre ceding head hearers. and his situation even more,crit cnl than theirs. If a henil was discovered at his house, there was no doubt, in his quality of a Christian, he would atseice be impaled. A prey to the most violent fears, and in a state almost bordering on madness, he seized the head, and rushing forth from his house into the street, ran as if a demon was pursuing him. Luck ily it was not yet day. Fate conducted him to the quarter of the Jews, where he arrived out of breath.— While running ngeinst some object, and looking at what thns impeded his path, he recognized, by a faint gleam of light, the lend body of a men, the head of which was separated from the trunk, and placed be tween the legs. Snch is still the ignoble mode reset ved for the decapitated Jews. the Mussulman enjoying the honor of having the head pineed under the right arm until the body is interred. Without considering that no man, even a Jew. can be possessed of two heads, the poor fellow seized, whet he thought a favor able opportunity of getting rid of his terrible burden, by placing it close to, and in the same pewitinn as the other head, anti then quietly returned to his home. Day now begun to appear in the narrow streets of Constantinople. The Jew•, awe s* t h at one cf t h e i r number ha I been decapitated theqweceding evening before their residences. did not dike to go out, but viewed from their windows with. astonishment the eight of the two heads. At thee time the Mus- Batman's who commenced pessinealong the streets, beheld them, also, with similar wonder; and soon an immense crowd collected. which completely obstruct ed the passage of the street. At the report of this tumult, a body of Janissaries was seen to advance to advance to establish order; hut, oh shame! they beheld the held of a Nhissulman lying next to that of a Jew 'The Israelite dogs have committed this sacrilege.— Down with the cursed race!' resounded on all sides. In a moment they trashed into the Jew's houses, and comrnenctd burning and pillaging all they were ena bled to lay hold of; but their vengeance increased to a still greater degree, when, on examining the head. 'they recognized it to be that their favorite age. Their rage now knew no bounds; and several bodies of the same corps arriving to juin their comrades, a formida ble revolt menaced the whole city, when the tumult at length reached the ears of the Sultan. His grand vizier and principal officers were immediately dispatched to the spot, and upon the Janissaries being promised in his name that justice should be rendered to them. they were with much difficulty persuaded to retire to their quarters. At the first news of the tumult, the Sultan divined its cause, and dispatched the tailor's guide, who was no other than a faithful slave, to inquire of Hussein what he had done with the head that he had borne to his house the preceding night. The tailor immedi ately related how his wife had taken it to the baker.— The slavethen applied to the latter, where he learnt the manner he had passed it on to the barber; and the latter, in his turn, owned the way he had disposed of it; and, lastly, the Greek recounted how he had placed it by the side of the Jew's head. Upon the report of the slave, the Sultan wished to have the different parts of the story related to him per sonally by those who had been actors therein. The Tailor and his wife, the baker and his son, the barber and the Greek, were all summoned into his presence, and after each hart given his relation, were, with the exception of the Greek.dismiseed with rich presents, in testimony of his satisfaction at their ingenuity.— Theunfortunate Greek was sewn up into a sack and afirrown into the Brisphoura, to punish him for his auda city in placing the head of a Mussulman near that of a Jew. As to the head of the age, it had been struck off by order of the Sultan;in consequence of the great influ ence this officer exercised over the Janissaries. Ma ny times had the order been given to that effect with out being executed; and this time, to make sure of et bedience, he had commanded the bead of the age to be brought into his presence, and to pi event the discove ry of his decapitation, Hussein hat been thus conducted by night to the Sultan, and the head of the age placed in the packet delivered to the former. Fate ordained the rest. A New Care for Consumption.—All the real or ',opposed gUISe for consumption are eclipsed by a new discovery of Russian origin. All the nostrums from naptha to Schenck's Pulmonary Syrup, are completely thrown into the back ground, and even St John Long's excoriating system superseded by this most extraordi nary revelation in medical science. The remedy is energetic in its character and rather painfel in its ef fects—it isles Knout! A correspondent of the Cou rier and Enquirer, who subscribes himself 'A Native of Russia," in a defence of its government, policy and institutions, says of that amusing instrument: '"Placed by Justice in the hands of Mercy, it not only causes no permanent injury, but, strange as it may ap pear, persons of consumptive habits have been often restored byit to healih and vigorr!'!" Every blow of the lash, which is a pretty broad one, peels a strip of skin and flesh of its own breadth off the body of the culprit, from the nape of the neck to the waist. Ex cellent for "consumptive habits," nu doubt! The same original writer who has revealed the above valuable medical fact, represents the Emperor of Rus sia as holding the same relation to the Poles as a feth er does to his children; and also informs us tl at Siberia "is & hospitable, beautiful, and highly interesting coun try, abounding in the riches of nature, and possessed of a thriving, industrious, arid comparatively civilized population. If exiles are committed to her safe keep ing, she behaves to them more like a good nurse than a surly jailor." The latitude of Siberia is a little at variance with this statement, to bo sure, but "a native of Russia" ought to know best. The truth appears to be that in consumptive cases, where the knout does DM per form an immediate cure, a few years residence in the 'beautiful" climate of Siberia is sure to give the patient permanent relief. Siw pie eure for croup.—We find in the Journal of health the following simple remedy for this dangerous disease. Those who have passed nights of almostag. any at the bedside of loved children, will treasure it urns an invaluable piece of information. If a child is taken with croup instantly apply cold rater, ice wat er if possible, suddenly and freely to the neck and chew, with a sponge—the breathing will almost in stantly be relieved; so soon as possible let the sufferer drink as much as it can, then wipe it dry, cover it up warm, and snon.o quiet slumber wiil relieve the pa rent's anxiety, and the heart in thankfulness to the power which has given to the pure gushing fountain such medicani qualities. t4e Malin ,Morning post. 7H05. ruiLtirs a WU. H. SMITH, ZDITORA.. PITTSBURGH, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10 Tux MITI-TEXAS MEET IMO.—The Spirit of Lib erty complains bitterly about the way in which the Curdaliers roped the Liberty men into the Anti-Tex. as meeting. A cell for the citizens of all parties, was got up and signed by whigs and abolitionists, and then, after the Liberty folks had done their best to "kick up a fuss," the whigs, in effect, coolly told them they were not wanted, and went on with the buginent of the meeting "of all parties," just as if there had been no such persons as the Liberty folks in the world. We do not know whether. if the Liberty men had been gra tified with a shore of the officers, and in the proceed ings, they would have assumed that the meeting was without distinction of party." As it was they seem to think that there was a very decided "distinction or party," in the way the business was done. After the admonition that ions Q ADAMS had giv' en the Liberty men and the world beside, about the whiga—after his emphatic avonal, based upon a long connection with that party, that "Tmachety is their I nature and their vocation," we wonder that the aboli tionists should have fallen so recently into the snare set by the shrewd Curdeliers. When the call was issued, there stood the names of prominent whigs and lead ing abolitionists, in brotherly conjunction—when the meeting assembled there stood the wearers of those names all commingled in admirable and amicable con fusion. But when the officera were called to their seats, and the meeting was organized, the calm and beautiful ap pearance of the scene was 'achy marred. Suddenly the whigs mounted into the high places to control the movements of this great meeting "without distinction of party," and as the whigs went up, the countenances of the Liberty men went down, down, down, falling lower as the name of each new wbig officer was called out—and whenlithe organization was completed, they quietly and meekly began to withdraw from the arena. All this W 36 certainly very mortifying to the Liberty men; but it might have been avoided, if, instead of seeking to direct the pretended anti-Texas feeling a mong the whigs, they had remembered what dolts Q. A twos said of that party. Could the Liberty men hope let fair play from a party whose "nature and vo " cation" is "Tretichery? To adapt a quotation from an African melody: "They looked at the meeting and found it so, Just as A osms told them oh!" DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS IN ALBASY.—The Demo atic members of the New York Legislature met in Albany. on the evening of the lit and nominated the following persons fix State officer*. Sec re:4r yof Slate—Nathaniel S Benton, of Her kinier county. Comptroller—AC Flagg, of All.any. Treasurer—Benj. Enos, of Madison. Attorney General—John Van Buren. of Albany. Surveyor General—Hugh Halsey, of Suffolk. Conuntssary General—Henry Storms, of New Ym k. Regents of the nsiversity—Mr. Van Buren and %V C Bouck These nominations comprise much of the first talent of the State of New York. Mt BURTON is from that sterling Democratic county, old Herkimer. the Berke of New York, whose thundering majorities have so often tent ified the enemies of Democracy. Mr FLAG°, the Comptroller, is perhaps better qualified fur the financial business of a great State like New York, than nny man' within her borders.— We have heard him tnentioned as a good appointment for Secretary of the Tretutury of the U. S. Jost VAS BUREN, who has been chosen for Attor ney General, is, we believe, a son of the Ex• President; the Whigs thought it witty tit call hi .n '•Prince John," when his father was President. He is much and de servedly esteemed by the New York Democracy, fur his talents and his labors in the late canvass. The business of the caucus seems to have been con ducted with much harmony, though in some instances the contests between the competitors were close. 87The New York 'Prophet,' a Mnrmnn paper, ut ters some direful threats against the democrats because the Legislature of Illinois repealed the Mormon City Charter. He promise. that the Mormons will all vote with the whigs in 1843, and defeat the democratic candidate fur President. If Mr Clay should be the next whig candidate, we may expect to see many in teresting letters pass between him and his Mormon friends, and, we would not be much surprised if—to make assurance doubly sure—some of the most ar dent Of the whig leaders should become Mormon Pro s. pheter tt would be but little more surprising than the transmogrification of violent abolitionists into sup porters of a slave dealer and slave breeder. TVhen Mr Whitney's proposed rail road to O regon shall be finished—we say "when"—the distance from New York to Oregon, 3,000 miles, can be trav eled in 8 days. By that route, the distance to China will be 9,200 miles—by the route now taken, it is 17,- 000 miles. We should reckon the new road will be preferred by all travelers as soon as it goes into opera tion. Potter or New YOAX.—Every New York paper we open contains accounts of burglaries, robberies and outrages of all sorts, perpetrated in New York, which it would seem the Native police of that city are ntter ly unable to lessen or suppresit. On the morning of the 2d inst., a house was broken open, and rubbed fur the third time since the middle of December; and the occupant of the house has been robbed four times within 20 months. His house is near a police station, and would seem, therefore, to be in a position to be protected. Bct, notwithstanding the plundered citizen has regularly made his complaints, nothing has been done towards restoring his property, and very little interest seems to be taken by the police in bearing statements of the kind. Rooms tF P•ats.—A Paris paper states that the number of thieves who pursue their profession in the capital, according to Mr Gisquet, amounts to 10,000. Of this number, 6,000 would take your purse if they saw it. lying about; 3,000 would pick your pocket; 2,000 would pick the lock of your door, 1,000 would enter your apartment at night by breaking open your doors and windows; and 600 would not hesitate to commit murder in order to effect a. robbery; 100 would steal or borrow a newspaper. A Mister Rich has sent to the New York Leg islaturea petition to have his new system of the Eng lish language tried. He would have the words accord in spelling with the pronunciation.

DZSTAUCTiM Flail AT NSW Yosta.— The Tri bune Office and appeadieg bad/dings destroyak-- The New York Herald gives an account of a des tructive fire, which occurred in that city OD Wednes day morning, destroying the Tribune news paper eon. cerise, the Periodical Depot of Mr H Gtaham, the booksellers and stationer's establishment of Jansen & Bell, a liquor store occupied by Mr Kennedy, and the establishment of the Deutsche Schnellpost—with a large amount of books. The Herald of Thursday, gives the following additional particulars: Messrs. Greeley & M'Elrath estimated their loss at $18,000,0f which $lO,OOO is coveted by insurance. Jansen & Bell's loss is stated at $lB,OOO, insured for $8,000. Ensign & Son, map publishers, occupied a floor over the Tribune Office, and were insured for sl.2oo—a bout the extent of their loss. Humphrey Phelps, Esq, occupied a part of some buildings, and has lost property valued at sBoo—not insured. Mr Bigelow, publishet of the Baptist Memorial, was insured. Messrs preely & McElrath's iron safe. or salaman der, containing all their books, papers, &c. in a most perfect state of preservation, was got out of the ruins after being thirty six hours in the burning pile, and ex posed to the intense heat of the burning building. Af ter cooling the safe by s heavy stream of croton water, it was opened and presented to its owners the gratify ing fact above mentioned. The safety of Messrs Gree lo &!vicElrath's books, after the severe test to which the safe was exposed, is an event no • less gratif)irg to them, than to every person who has books or property depending upon the faithful construction of Wilder's Salamanders. The fire broke out in the Tribune office. The New Yotk Sun also gives an account of a tre mendous snow storm in that city, on Weclnesday,whick blocked up . , the streets ; in many place•, and in 26th at. twenty-three houses were partially blown down—they were being erected—no lives were lost. A Lel It T.-GRICAT Futs.—Tbe passengers by Liv ingston &Co.'s Express and mail, give an account of en extensive fire raging at Albany when the cars left for New York. &MIMI FIRE AT ROCHESTER.—We learn rrom a postscript in the Rochester Pemocrat, that, on Friday evening last, that city was visited by a destructive con flagration. About half put nine a fire broke out in Schidmoro's variety store, Start's Block. Main street, which, with nearly all its content*, was totally destroy rd. The adjoining tin and sheet iron factory, belong ing to Henry Miller, was also destroyed, but most of his goods were saved. The building was of brick, four stories high, of which nothing remains but the bare walls. The second and third stories were eau plea by Mr Starr as a cabinet shop, who lost consider able furniture and stock.

Levin. on the charge of riot, and inciting to treason, was brought up before the Court of Quarter Sessions in Philadelphia. on Wednesday. W. D. Kel ly, for the Commonwealth. stated to the ccu. t that af ter a consultation with the Attorney General, they had come to the conclusion that the bill did not contain any indictable matter--tho alleged treasonable articles which had appeared in the "Sun" newspaper not hav ing been included therein—and that it was his inten tion to lay the bill, being faulty, before a jury and auk for a verdict of acquittal. The nature, of the bill was such, Mr Kelly said, that even should a jury render a verdict of guilty upon it, the court could not sustain the judgment. His Honor assented; a jury was sworn, and a verdict accordingly. John Hess and Timothy Cronin were also placed at the bar for trial as partici pators in the Kensington riots; the jury in the first case had not agreed when the court adjourned, and the sec ond case wee not concluded. CONGRESS In the Senate, this morning, Mr. Benton asked and obtained leave to withdraw his bill for the annexation of Texas, reported back yesterday. with the other pro positions for that object, by the chairman of the Com mittee on Foreign Relations, and now on the table, a• waiting the action of the Senate. The bill having been withdrawn, Mr. Benton, on leave granted. presented& substitute, which was teed twice. Mr. Benton's re marks, on introducing this substitute, aumted great attention; and a motion by Mr. Berrien to refer the bill to the Committee on Foreign Relations elicited a debate, (the synopsis of which will be found in our regular congressional report,) more favorable than that of any other discussion on the subject, In the Senate, during the present session of Congress. The bill pro- vides that a State, to be formed out of the present Re public of Teium, with suitable extent and boundaries, and with two representatives in Congress until the next apportionment of representation, shall be admit ted into the Union by virtue of this act, on an equitable footing with the existing States, as soon as the terms and conditions of such admission, and the cession of the remaining Texian territory to the United States, shall be agreed upon by the governments of Texas and the United States. It appropriates $lOO,OOO to de. fray the espouses of missions sod negotiations to agree upon the terms of admission and cession. either by treaty to be submitted to the two Houses of Congress, as the President may direct. A stron effort was made to have the bill referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations; but this was opposed by the friends of the measure, and it was finally decided in their favor by a vote of 22 yeas to 23 nays. This bill was then, on mo tion of Mr. Benton, laid on the table till the subject shall come up for consideration, which is expected to be on Tuesday next. The post office bill was next taken up; the question pending being on Mr Simmons' motion to amend the ninth section so as to allow members of Congress to frank their own letters and speeches. Mr Buchanne, being entitled to the floor, spoke in favor of totally abolisburg the franking privilege, in order to have cheap postage, which could not, in his opinion, be bad, unless that was done. He moved to strike out the a incl "letters," in the amendment; and, pending that motion, a long discussion ensintrlbetweeslim and McAllen, who expressed himself fie/OmM. to the m utational' the privilege by the members for the benefit of their 0008tituents. It was nearly five 'dock when the discussion clotted on this point, and tbest,tho Se" ). ate adjourned. The House, at en early hour, went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and took up the bill to graduate and reduce the price of the public ; lands in favor of actual settlers and cultivators. After some remarks in support of the bill from Messrs Hone. ton and McDowell, the hour for the termination of the debate having arrived, the committee proceeded to vote on the pending amendment. The first question was taken on the amendment to the amendment of Mr Stewart of Pennsylvania, proposing to revive the distribution clause of the act of 1841. This was re jecteri wit haute division. The next question was taken on the amendment of Mr Cary, which was offered as a substitute for the original bill. This amendment being agreed to. the committee rose and reported the bill, as amended, to the House; Mr. Vinton then moved to lay it on the table; which motion was carried by a vote of—yeas 103, nays 97. House again resolved itself into Commiuee of the Whole on the state of the anion, and took up the Union appropriation bill; and after spending some time thereon, the committee rose and reported progress. A number of communications from the executive departments were laid before the House, and referred, after which the House adjourned. CORRXCT ton.—Our congressional summary ef yes terday. in the brief notice taken of the course of Messrs Thomasson, and Cary of Maine, may have led Ito the inference that these gentlemen were opposed to I the reduction of the price of the public lands in favor of actual settlers. This was not so. They opposed the particular bill under consideration, because of the oh. jections they entertained to its details; but they both of fered substitutes to it, and avowed themselves in favor of the graduating principle, and a reduced price to actual settlers for lands that have been long in market. [Glcbe, Feb 5 The Post Office bill occupied the attention of the Senate to-day. Tbeonly important amendments made were the following: The 9th section, granting five 1 franks or free envelopes to each member of Congress daily during the sessions of Congress. in lieu of their' present franking privilege. was stricken out, as agreed upon in committee of the whole—yeas 35, nays 2. Oa motion of Mr. Benton, an amendment was adopted which makes every half-ounce weight subject to a sin gle postage, no matter how many pieces of paper in closed, and so on for every additional half-ounce. On motion of Mr. Simmons. the rate of 10 cents for dis tances over 100 miles was stricken out, and one uni form rate of 5 cents fur all distances was adopted— yeas 33. nays 14. The other amendments were not important. The bill remains yet subject to amend ment. At 4 o'clock, the Senate went into executive session, and soon after adjourned. The Humes was occupied all day in Committee of theWbole on the state of the Union on the bill ma king appropriations fur the Indian D:partment fur the fiscal year ending 30th June, 1846. Several amend ments were made, which were fully discussed, when were fully discussed, when the bill, being reported to the House as amended. was ordered to be engrossed Joe a third reading. It was then read the third time and passed. [Globe, Feb. 6. Mr Mc Duffie resumed - his seat in the Senate to-day. The principal business which occupied the auentioa of this body to-day was the postage hill, which was or - tiered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow. The morning hour in the House was taken up in the rewiring and acting on reports from standing commit tees; after which the private eabseder was taken up, in committee of the whole, and a number of bills hav ing been faithfully eensidered by the committee, were laid aside to be reported tothe house.—Glo be, Friday June 7.
