The following extracts are taken from a new work, entitled "Letters from Constantinople :" "Talking of women reminds me of a scene I witnessed last Friday, the Turkish Sunday. I will trv to
describe it, but I fear that I shall not succeed better than I did in my description of the Uosphorus. I3ut take it such as it is. An old gentlemen who lives at a village about five miles below me,
on the other side of the Bosphorus, called Candalir, asked mo to come over and lake breakfast with him, and promised mc a distant view, from the top of the hill, of an assemblage of the females of the Turkish families of Constantinople and the neighboring towns, as they gather together in the Valley of Sweet Waters of Asia, every Friday, &, there pass the day, amusing themselves variously. Ho said we could not approach them, but the sight at a distance was worth seeing. I accordingly went to his house, where I was introduced to his wife, his eight or ten married daughters, and their from six to eight children apiccc; and after enjoying the magnificent view from the hill at the back of his garden,procceded to my kaick, and embarked for the valley of sweet waters, about a mile above us. A kaick is a long narrow light boat, like an Indian canoe, but turning up at each end, highly ornamented with carved work and gilding; and rowed (that is the diplomatic ones) by three sturdy Mussulmen, dressed in whito coarse shirts and trousers, and their muscular arms bare to the shoulders, a small red skull cap with a blue tassel on their heads, and each rowing

On our way to the vallov, we
were joined by numberless kaicks
filled with women, and in addition
to the usual compliment, as many
children as they could stow away
amongst them, and they appeared
to take very good care that no room
should be lost. Women arc gen
erally economical, and are so in
Turkev, at least when boat hire is
in question, so far as I could judge by appearances . We entered with them a narrow trcsh water river, up which we proceeded (or about a mile, when we came to a light and airy wooden
bridge thrown across the stream,
near which was a landing place,and
at it a multitude of kaicks, from the
rank of three banks down to one.
A string of carriages filled with
women and children, was at the
moment crossing the bridge to the
place where we had landed, which
was the entrance to an extensive grove, consisting of trees of the lar
gest kind; some in clusters of three
four, and five; others spreading
their branches to an immense distance, affording ample space and shelter from the sun for thousands. Hero and there were seats, and a marble fountain of clear and cold water, supplied the means of refreshment. Tho Turkish carriage is a curi
ous vehicle. It is something in
shape like our Jersey wagons, with-! outsprings or scats, and is drawn by two fat and beautiful light grey oxen, most gorgeously decora
ted on their Banks, backs, ana shoulders, with gold, and a rich fringe work : On the lace, from the
horns to the nose, is a piece some
what in the form of a shield, com-
nosed of innumerable small look-
inr rrlnsses. set in cold and silk

jewels, and a tolerably tair picture
ot a 1 ui kish lady ol rank, such as I saw, and of the family of the lleis Eflendi, corresponding with our Secretary State, whose wife and family I had the honor to salute, &,

I v- " ' t5 encumbrance to them in walking. The cloak is eternally dropping oil
one shoulder or the other; then it is
to be hitched up ; by the time it is
lxed, oft comes a slipper, and in
stooping to see where it is, (for they
can't look down without stooping,
rom the quantity of clothing winch
interposes between their eyes and the ground,) off drops the cloak
from their shoulders; now both arms and hands are required to
draw it on, which they do by catch
ing hold of the side of the c!oak,and
throwing their arms open in an elevated direction, thus exposing all
their under garments and finery.
When you see a lurkish woman
walking, it appears as if she had as
much as she could do to keep her self together;
Tho delicate fairness of their
skins, is owing, doubtless, to their
confinement to their homes ; of their
figures I could not iudgc. Some of
them have thrown off their clum
sy yellow boots, and substitued the
silu open work stockings and slip
pers: handsomer ankles, and smaller and more beautilul feet, I have never seen. When a man buys a
wife, if rich, lie undoubtedly chooses a handsome one. Tho Turks are a noble race of men, and the women, being generally of Circas
sian origin, it is not surprising that
the daughters of the Turks should
c beautiful. About one o'clock, a boat laden
with hampers of meats, and bales ot
wine of every description, arrivcu

Since the commencement of our editorial labors we have not been thrust upon the performance of a duty so melancholy as that to which we arc called at the present time. A few days anterior to the -1th of July, various circumstances excited some suspicion in the minds of a few respectable citizens of Madison county, in the neighorhood cf Beattie's blutf, of an insurrection anions tho slaves of that settlement being about to occur. Several slaves were at different times overheard, whilst engaged in secret conversation relative to the proposed plots. A scrutiny, such as the crisis seemed to demand, wa3 forthwith instituted, which led to the development of facts of a most startling and extraordinary character. It was very soon ascertained in the progress of the examination which ensued, that two individuals, by name Cotton and Saunders, both of them steam doctors by profession, were prominently concerned in this nefarious scheme. Both these individuals were immediately apprehended. A large meeting of tho citizens of Madison county was held, to deliberate upon the momentous crisis which had aiisen, at which it was unanimously resolved, that a committee of investigation should be immediately organ
ized, in the n unc and upon the responsibility of the whole body of citizens, to use all necessary means for ferreting out this nefarious plot, and bringing the offenders to speedy justice. This committee, thus organized, composed of thirteen of the most respectable citizens of the county, men of elevated standing in tho community, for moral worth, integrity, and
discretion, proceeded, as soon ns possible, to the task assigned them; and discovering that the evidences of a conspiracy having been formed, were perfectly conclusive, and that the guilt of Cotton and Saunders was placed beyond doubt, with but little delay, ordered them to a public execution,by hanging,which
took place in tho town ol .Livingston, on Saturday the 1th of July. Before Cotton was
mng, he made repeated coniessions of his
guilt, both privately and publicly, in the presence of an immense multitude, and furnished
a detail of the plan of operations agreed on, and a list of the prominent conspirators. It seems from Cotton's confession, which was, as to most essential particulars, reduced to
writing previous to his death, and subscribed
by him in presence of numerous witnesses,
that he was an accomplice ot the celebrated Murrel, and he in fact acknowledged that he had been a member of two grand councils in
association with Murrel himself. The pro
ject embraced the whole slave region from
Maryland to .Louisiana, and contemplated
the total destruction ot the white population of all the slave states, and the absolute conquest and dominion of the country. A largo 1 . .'ii-i . i

number of bold, enterprising, and unprinci
pled white men concerned in the scheme, scattered over the country along the whole line of contemplated operations, who have succeeded in engaging the aid of such am
ong the negro population as, from their peculiar characteristics, were regarded as best suited to such an cntcrpisc the bold, the sa
gacious, the desperate. Arms and ammunition had been procured, and deposited in various secret places,and all other arrangements, effected which were deemed essential to tho adoption of incipient
operations. The puplication ot the iuurrei pamphlet is understood to have precipitated the attempted execution of the plot, and to have induced earlier hostile movements by several months, than was originally contemplated. So far as we have been informed . , , f aerations acrced on was as
f "flow On the night of the fourth of July, nn attack was to be made upon the town of Vernon, in Madison county, at a time when most of its white population would be asleep. The whiles, thus taken by surprise, were to be indiscriminately butchered. All the amunition and arms of tho town were to be seized, and the whole force of tho insurgents, a3 rapidly as possible, was to be directed againsl the town of Livingston, where similar proceeding were to be had. By the time
this could be accomplished, it was the whole body of the white populatibn would be overcome with panic, ami be cona r..m ccno ol terror; ana strained to fly from too sccho , ii i ihn rnuntry able to wield tho every black in the coum j
