Wo .r.vite ths attention of our citizvna to the notice tfthe Magistrate of Police for, 'a roetting - of tbe c'llizeas to make arrangement for the eel tbrat ioa f cur national Independence ; ' Tfcongh there may be unpleasant emotion lu regard, to th present postHe of affah In tho Un ion, T.tm eft cap forget (L migLty deed of a 'glorioni ancestry nor fail stilt to Invoke the Westing of Heaven open tho system of republi- tan freedom, erected through blood and peril by devoted patriot! and fiitnds to the rights of man. We may itifl hop that a revival in tho memory of the pur devotion of or revolutionary heroie to the cause of freedom, and of mutual con cession aad forbearance, may stiwcUde tho pres ent generation to emulate their bright example, and to respect and obey the Coastitution by w hich we are made one people. THE TURKISH COSTUME. Every movement in the female world in the matter of reform, i intereating to the public, a the "ladies rule the roast" in all civilized coun tries, and their example ha a powerful Influence upoa the public mind and moral. In view of this fact, we cannot enough "laud and magnify' the adoption of the Turkish Costume, by certain a roiable and sentimental ladies of the North- These la'd.e ar among those who contend fur women's lights, and take the liberty of dressing like Turks to sln w mankind that they have a right to wear what they please aud so they have. We contend that no one has a right to make ugly remarks at their dross and deportment they have a right to wear the Celtic costume if they cl.o e. We sup pose they will take up OiLe of ti e Turkish no tions as well a dress. We all know that Turks esteem christians as little better than dogs, and hold literature in great contempt.' ' These ladies we presume have the same sentiment in regard to christian men nud women ; especially those of the latter whoso "outward adorning is a meek an d quiet pirit." Tho Turks are handsome, grave, sedate, sober and solemn; rendered hanghty by ignorauce and indolent by want of employment. But none of these adjective apply to the reform ladies, except tho first ; they are "handsome" of course. Has any one of these distinguished feroeninc been set apart for the "world's fuir 1" No other na tion, we dare say, will furnish any thing to exqui site and sublime, as a woman from a christian country in the costume of a male Turk. It is well lor the world in general and trade in particular. that onr loving friends did not adopt shorts and tights; for then, many a dry goods dealer would have been abused for selling "crooktSl stockings'' and the like. Yes, it is reallv comfortable to think that "they are as they are" for if they Vre anything else they wo ild not bo so comici So quizicat, and, we may say, so hypeibolical. THE METHODIST CHURCH CASE. Tbfi arguments iuihe Methodist Church, case were concluded on Tuesday last. The Court said it would necessarily take up some time before a decision could be rendered, and hoped that the ' suggestions thrown out by the couel on both sides, that the parties would come to an amicable eettlerneut themselves, before a decision was given, would be attended with success. Wc hope this may bo he case, but fear the northern men will hold on, if they have Jy hope of retaining the property tiiey so nnjustly hold southern slave holders being coriiided by them as fair game ; that it i very projier to plunder them on all occasion. The truth is, the highest Judicature of the Church decided upou a division of the Church in .d North and South, as the only way to brin peace. This authority is now contested, and the requtamerd of the uorthcru portion were, that tie Soolhern Jictjiodists should stay in the Church j be coast ant iy abused for being slave holders; have their Bishops repudiated, and the dQorfof northern Churches closed against their niimatry. Very modest, to be sure. Jhx virtue of modesty they practised in another point by holding on to projHirty .that did not belong to them after r decision of the Church was Ufaliud. We add a few of the principal points touched ' npoiflu tbe clnsing argument of the Hon. Rkver rr Jo'ajwov by which those of our readers who ro notudormed on the subject will sec tho pusi , tion (if each party in the case. Ho WiflJhat if he liad been ciircHful in his M reasoning yesterday, he must have satitdied the, court that the Uouoral Conference of the M. E.

But they do not do It, because they are impressed with the con viction that every legal tribuual in the country would decide glnt thtm. To attempt was made bv Mr. Armstrong and his associates in the Mamiile case, but the Kentucky Court of Ap peals, than which there 1 no Court more respec table for learning and ability, decided against them. - - . He quoted the l&ib and 19th verses of the 28th chapter of Mathew, and aaid that the language of God himself, ipeaking through the iusplml pen man, commanded them to preach tbe Gospel (o all nation. It wa their duty to conform to the law of the land, and not war wjfh the domestic Institution of the country in which they wero lo cated. The Oospl should be preached to the master and th slave a well as to freemen. The agitation of larery in the quarterly, the annual and the genera) conferences, the judgments in th case of Ajr. Harding aud iu thu case of Bishop Andrew, led to a general couvictiouiu each of the Southern conferences that a separa tion wa absolutely necessary to the existence of the Church in their section of Jhe country. They ftlt that ft wa pecessary o divide jjn order to save. These agituUons bad riveted the chains of the slave. The conveutHi which had recently revis ed the organic law of Maryland, has been driven to the necessity of making it a part of the consti tutional law of that State that slavery should bo perpetual. Emancipation is forever prohibited. And he mentioned hs au extraordinary fact that tho Rev. Mr. Griffin, who had taken such a con spicuous part in the Conference of 1844 in the agitation of slavery, had ministered as chaplain to this body of slaveholders during tlio whole of their session. We add, jn conclusion, that it is believed he Juitee will decide in favor of the Southern claim ants, if the case is not compromised. We do not see how he can possibly decide otherwise.

FROM BRAZIL. Rio m: Jankriu, April 18. Tbe sailing of the ' Imperatriz" to-day for Bal timore affords me the pleasinc opportunity of communicating to yon tho present position of the Government, its' a'mis'and objects. The forma tion of a Confederacy of the Southern Provinces. with an eye to Buenos Ayres for extension, as opportuuity might favor, similar iu effect to the fampus confederation of the Rhino, has turned out to be a complete failure. Yet the Emperor and his Ministers, true, to their purpose, and not in the least shaken or daunted by disappoint- ments.'have undertaken, openly and unequivocal ly, the suppression of a question which has agita ted for years the Governments of England and the Juited Stafes. It is no less than the total anni hilation of slavery and the slave trade. Already nine dealers in this infamous traffic have been 1 heavily fined, twenty-one imprisoned, and two of the most prominent and wealthy expelled tho country. To deal now in human flesh by the law oi the land is piracy, and all found engaged in the trade shall be punished with death. To British diplomacy this unexpected law has been attribu ted ; and Buenos Ayres, sensible of her true inter ests, and the dangers which this law threatens, has lost no time in calling on all her male popula Hon, from tho ages of sixteen to forty-five, to hold themselves in readiness for all and every emergen cy that may offer. Gen. Rosas has already 'ap pointed seven Lieutenant Generals to superintend the organization of the militia. The English and French vessels of war here and along the coast are placed at the Emperor's service, aud tbcjr sailers are now busily engaged in sparring and preparing rigging lor several Bra zilian men-of-war now building. Future events' cast their shucjows before them, and tho shade that is now cast is pregnant with fearful conse quences, not only for Buenos Ayres. but for all the South American Republics. The health of the city and interior has consider ably improved, but business of every sort has ret rogaded, owing to the ravages of the fever, which has swept off in this city, during tho last ten days without regard to age, sex, or condition, 1153 persons, and at least five times this unmoor have fallen victims to the same disease in the provinces and on the coast.
