(X)NsTANTI.NOrLK SLAVF.-M AUKET. 1 had an opportunity aflitrded me of seeing this horrid place, when, perhaps, the loveliest women in the world are bought and sold like cattle, inspected by every scoundral w ho wears a turban, and submitted to the scrutiny of every viragfl who affects to be a judge of tlivvs. Franks are not suffered to visit this bizaar; but Inow and then, when an opulent ida've merchant falls sick, a Christian hakkim or doc tor gains admittance. The slav e bazaar is . i , . i -.i a large quadrangular coun yaiu, wain a shed running along a range of narrow cells! on the ground floor, and a gallery above, which surrounds the building; on the secend stage the chambers are reserved for the Greeksnnd the Georgians; btlovv Are the black women of Darfur and Sannaar, and the loppT coloured beauties of Abvtsinnia; the taller are remarkable tor the symmetry of their features and the elegance of their forms; they commonly sell for 150. (I'M,) while the black women seldom bring more than $80, (IG.) The poor green women were huddled together 1 saw seven or eight in one cell, stretched on the floor, some dressed in the vestiges of former finery some of them were from Scio, others from Ipsara they had nothing in common but desnaii! All of them looked pale and sickly, and all of' them appeared to lie pining after the homes they were never to see again, and the friends they were to meet no more. Sickness ami soi low had impaired their looks, but still they were spectres of liuty, and the melancholy stillness oi their cells was sadly contrasted with the roars of merri ment which proceeded from the dungeons of the negro women . No scene of human wietcht dntss c;.u equal this. The girl who might have adorned her native village, whose innocence might have been solace of an anxiom mother, and whose beauty might have been the theme of many a tongue, was here subjected to the gaze of every licentious soldier who chose to examine her features or her form on the

jiretence of bein a buyer. 1 saw one poor pirl. of about fifteen, brought forth to exhibit her gait and figure to an old Turk, whose glances manifested the motive for her purchase: he twisted her elbows; he pulled her ankles he felt her ears ex amined her mouth and then her neck, and all this while the merchant was extolling her hape and features, and protested she w as only turned of thirteen, that she neither snored nor startled m her sleep in every rej ect she was warranted.

Extract of a letter from a Correspondent in Alabama. "I hfive nothing very important to write, except that three Baptist churches in Butler Co. have declared a non fellowship with all the money -begging societies of the time?, for which they are likely to be sh allowed up by the friends and members of those societies.
