the Greeks went out of sight. The Pa

or two, retuineil into port ; and soon al

distance. Several ol the Pacha’s frigates
and corvettes which could not yet sail
out on the 17th, had got ready to sail on

Attempt to Poiaon. An attempt has
l";tely heen made (as we learn from the
Spr'ingheld R-publican) to poison a
family oi Shakers, consisting of 60 per
sons, belonging to the Society of Fi.field,
CtKin. 'I’his w as done by putting a large
Cjuanlity of araen'c into tiie pump, from
which water is obtained for the use of
the lamily; one of tlie members of which
■bavinff gone out early in the morn'ng
and diank about a pint of the water, was
pretty soon taken v\iih distressing symp
toms of poioon. On examination, the
water Wi-.s lound to be of a milky appear
ance, and a number of pailfiils were
thrown on the ground, each containing
iriore than a tea-s|i/x>rdul (jf the undis-
Svilved poison. A jihysiciaii who was call
ed on me occasion, pronounced it, from
what he considered “ urierring tests,” to
be pure arsenic, and says th^re w-as
doubtless enough in the pump to have
destroyed a thousand [ler ;ons.

AcrJdcnt'—We noticed an accident a
few days ag;., by which a young man had
h leg taken ufT. He was on ooard of
a sloop, near the wiiulhiss, while she was
nearing the wnarf, and his leg was
caught bctw.-u. the windlass and the bite
of the i'0|)c, and took it clean t,fT belovv
the knee. 'I'he ihitiir was done in an
instant, and the man was so astonished,
that he ncitiiev spoke i.or groaued, nor
moved a muscle of his face. A physi
cian made an anilkiid tourniquet with
rope and splinter, snd h-jwas plac ed un-
complaining in a c arriage. A [lerson ran

Philadelphia seems to be a populat’
place for disposing of chilri:cn who are
''O unfortunate as to find their way into
ihiscold hearted world without a father
or mother. .\n amusing case occurrcd
a few weeks since, which wc will stale,
without, however, ;.^i,ing names. A
Ciiild was found nicely done up in a bas
ket, upon the siej)3 of a geiiiieman’s door,
in the good city of bro.lierly love, and,
being a str anger, was of couise taken in,
and the basket put away. As tnere werc
sevtral children, however, already and
of rifjlit on the premises, the little found
ling’s presence was rather uiuveIconic.
But lor several days no clue could I)e dii-
covered by which the child could be trac
ed to Ibose who had a more ltf:itiinale
claim to it. At length ii was recoih ctcd
that there were some |)apers in th. bot
tom of the ‘‘fruit basket,” placed t.icro
to preserve the clotlies I'l'om being soil
ed. On examining these, the name of t
distinguished lawyer in the neiglibonng
State of New Jersey, was four^d upon one
of the manuscripts, and was of course
regarded as a precious discovery. A
messenger, with the basket, the child,
and the manuscrijit, was forthwith de*
spatched to the re.sidence ofthe banister*
who vvas no less stii; ris«;d than chagrin*
ed at the sudden clai.n of the little stran
ger to his tender sympathies, and » ndear-
ing attentions as a fa^lu i’. He strongly
protested his innocence, and was, in fact,
innoccnt. But this is a wicked worici. and
upon the circumstantial testimony of the
manuscript, the more earnestly .he asse-
vtia'.ed that the child was no kin of his, the
more strongly it was believed that it was.
:\i length, after much rumination and
cogitation, the counsellor bethouglit him
self that the fatal manuscript was some
cdnsidernble time back, sent to tlieprin-
'er’s as a legal advertisement. 'I'he ro-
n.iniscence was a fortunate one for him.
