I saw an aged man upon his bier; His hair was thin and white, and on his brow A record of the cares of many a year; Cares that were ended and forgotten now. And there was sadness round and faces bowed, And women’s tears fell fast, and children wailed aloud. Then rose another hoary man, and said, In flattering ascents, to that weeping train— Why mourn ye that our aged friend is dead? Ye are not sad to see the gather’d grain, Nor when the melfow fruit the orchards cast; Nor when the yellow woods shake down the ri pen’d mast. Ye sigh not when the sun, his course fulfilled, His glorious course rejoicing earth and sky— In the soft evening, when the winds are stiil d, Sinks wheie the islands of refreshment lie, And leaves the s.nile of his departure spread O’er the warm coloured heaven and ruddy mountain-head. Why weep ye then for him, who having run The bound of m in’s appointed years at last, Life’s blessings all enjoyed, life’# labours done, Serenely to his final rest has passed; While the soft memory of his virtues yet Lingers, like twilight hues when the bright sun is set. His youth was innocent, his riper age Mark’d with some acts of goodness every day; And watch’d by eyes that loved him, calm and sage Faded his late declining years away. Cheerful he gave his being up, and went To share the holy re^t that waits a life well spent. That life was happy; every day he gave Thanks for the fair existence that was hi>; For a sick fancy made him not her slave, To m >ck him with her phantom miseries. No chronic tortures rack’d his aged limb, For luxury and sloth had nourish’d none for him. And I am glad that he has lived thus long; And glad that he has gone to his reward; Nor deem that kindly nature did him wrong, Softly to disengage the vital chord; When his weak hand grew palsied, and his eye Dark with the mists of age, it was his time to die.” CONSTANTINOPLE. RY N. P. WILLIS. Bring all the shops of New York, Philadel phia and Boston together around the City Hall, remove their fronts, pile up all their goods on shelves facing the street, cover the whole with a roof, metamorphose your trim clerks into bearded, turbaned, and solemn old musselmen, smooth Jews, and calpacked and rosy Arme nians, and you will have something like the grand bazaar of Constantinople. You can scarcely get an idea of it, without having been there. It is a city under cover. You walk all day, and day after day, from one street to anoth er, winding and turning, up hill and down, and never go out of doors. The roof is as high as those of our three story houses, and the dim light so favorable to shopkeepers, comes strug gling down through skylights, never cleaned, except bv the rainsof heaven. Strolling through the bazaar is an endless amusement, it is slow work, for the streets are as crowded as a church-aisle after service; and, pushed aside one moment by a bevy of Turkish ladies, shuffling along in their yellow slippers, mu tiled to the eyes, the next by a fat slave car rying a child, again by a leer cat armed to the teeth, and clearing the way for some coming dignitary, you find your only policy isto draw in your elbows, and suffer the motly cr6wd to shove you about at tbeir pleasure. Eacli shop in this world of traffic may be two yards wid**. The owner sits cross-legged on the broad counter below, the heighth of a chair from the ground, and hands you all you want without stirring from bis seat. One broad bench or counter runs tbe length of the street, and the different shops are only divided by the slight partition of the shelves. The purchaser, sets himself on the counter, to lie out of the way of the crowd, and the shopman spreads out his goods on his knees, never condescending to open his lips except to tell you the price. If he exclaims“bono,” or “cu/o.*’ (the only word a real Turk ever knows of another language,) lie is stared at by his neighbors as a man would in Broadway, who should break out with an Italian bracura. Ten to one, while you are examining his goods, the bearded trader creeps through the hole leading to his kennel ol a dormitory in the rear, washes himself and returns to his counter, where, spreading his sacred carpet in the direction of Mecca, lie goes though his pray ers and prostrations, perfectly unconscious of your presence, or that of the passing crowd.— No vocation interferes with his religious duty.— Five times a day, if he were running from the plague, the nutssleinan would find time for pray ers. The Frank purchaser attracts a great deal of curiosity. As he points to an embroidered hand kerchief, or a rich shawl, or a pair of gold-work ed slippers, Turkish ladies of the first rank, gathering their yasemacks securely over their faces, stop close to his side, not minding if they push him a little to get nearer the desired article. Feeling not the least timidity except for their faces, these true children of Eve examine the goods in barter, watch the stranger’s counte nance, Sl if he takes off his glove, or pulls out his purse, take it up and look at ii, without ever saying‘by your leave.’ Their curiosity often extends to your dress, and they put out their little henna-stained fingers and pass them over the sleeve of your coat, with a gurgling expres sion of admiration at its fineness, or if you tiave rings ora watch-guard, they lift your hand or Eull out your watch with no kind of scruple. I avemet with several instances of this in the course of my rambles. But a day or two ago, I found myself rather more than usual a subject of curiosity. I was alone in the street of embroid ered handkerchiefs (every minute article has its peculiar bazaar) and wishing to look at some of uncommon beauty, 1 called on of the many Jews always near a stranger to turn a penny by interpreting for him, and was soon up to the el bow in goods that would tempt a female angel out of Paradise. As I was selecting one for pur chase, a woman plumped down upon the seat beside me, and fixed her great, black, unwink ing eyes upon my face, while an Abyssinian slave und another white woman, both appar ently her dependents, stood respectfully at her back. A small turquoise ring (the favorite color in Turkey) first attracted her attention. She took up my hand, and turned it over in her soft, fat fingers, and dropped it again without saying a word. I looked at my interpreter, but he seemed to think it nothing extraordinary, and I went on with my bargain. Presently my line eyed friend pulled me bv the sleeve, and as I leaned toward her, rubbed her forefinger veiy quickly over my cheek, looking at me intently all the while. I was a little disturbed with the ladies’ familarity, and asked my Jew what she wanted. 1 found that my rubicund complexion was something uncommon among these dark skinned orientals, and she wished to satisfy her self that I was not painted! I concluded my pur chase, and puting the parcel into my pocket, did my prettiest at an oriental salaam, but to my mortification, the lady only gathered up her yashmack, and looked surprised out of her great eyes at my freedom. My Constantinople friends i inform me that I am to lay no ‘unction to my j soul’ from her notice, such liberties being not at, all particular. The husband exacts from his j half dozen wives only the concealment of their j laces, and they have no other idea oftniproprie- j ty in public. In the centre of the bazaar, occupying about j as much space as the hotly of the City Hall in j New York, is what is called the bezeslein. You J decend into it from four directions, by massive gates, which are shut, and ail persons excluded, except between 7 and 12 of the forenoon. Tins is the core of Constantinople—the soul and ci- j tadel of orientalism. It is devoted to the sale of arms and to costly articles only. The roof is I loftier and the light more dim than in the outer I bazaars, and the merchants who occupy its stalls are old and of established credit. Here are subjects for the pehcil! If you ca:i take your eye from those Damascus sabres, with their jew elled bills and costly scabbards, or from those I gemmed daggers and guns inlaid with silver and gold, cast a glance along that dim avenue and see what a range there is of glorious old gray beards, with their snowy turbans? These are the Turks of the old regime, before Sultan Mali moud disfigured himself with a coat like a dog of a Christian,” and broke in upon the customs of the orient. These are your opium caters, who smoke even in their sleep, and would not touch wine if it were handed them by Iiouris! These are your fatalists, who would scarce take the trouble to get out of the way of a lion, and who are as certain of the miracle of Mahomet’s coffin as of the length of the pipe, or of the quality ul tlie looacco oi omraz: 1 have spent many an hour in the bezestein, steeping my fancy in its rich orientalism, and sometimes trying to make a purchase for myself or others. It is curious to see with what perfect indifference these old cross legs attend to [the wishes of a Christian. I was idling round one day with an English traveller, whom 1 had known in Italy, when a Persian robe of singular beauty hangingon one of the stalls arrested my com panion’s attention. He had with him his Turk ish dragoman, and as tlie old merchant was smoking and looking right at us, we pointed to the dress over his head, and the interpreter ask ed to see it. The mussulman smoked calmly on, taking no more notice of us than of t!^* white clouds curling through his beard. He might have sat for Michael Angelo’s Moses.— Turn, pale, calm, and of a statue-like repose of countenance and posture, with a large old fash ioned turban, and a curling beard half mingled with gray, his neck bare, and his fine bust en veloped in the flowing and bright colored dra pery of the east—I find never seen a more ma jestic figure. He evidently did not wish to have any thing to do with us. At last I took out my snuff-box, and addressing him with effendi!’ the Turkish title of courtesy, laid my hand on my breast and offered him u pinch. Tobacco in this unaccustomed shape is a luxury here, and the amber mouthpiece emerged from his mustache, and putting his three fingers into my box, he said 'pekklie!' the Turkish ejaculation of approval. He then made room for us on his carpet, and with a cloth measure took the robe from its nail, and spread it before us. My friend bought it unhesitatingly for a dressing gown, and we spent an hour in looking at shawls, of prices perfectly startling, arms, cha lices for incense, spotless amber for pipes, pearls, bracelets of the time of Sultan Selim, and an endless variety of things rich and rare.” Tlie closing of the bezestein gates interrupted our agreeable employment, and our old friend gave us the parting salaam very cordially for a Turk. I have been there frequently since, and never pass without offering my snuff-box, and taking a whiff or two from his pipe, which 1 cannot re fuse, though it is'not out of his mouth, except when offered to a friend, from sunrise till mid night. _ BUSY BODY’S.” There is a certain cla~sof individuals, ineve ry town and village, who-e greatest pleasure consists in prying into the affairs of their neigh bors, and whose especial province it is to pro mulgate them to the world. These disinterested benefactors of mankind know more of your own business than you do yourself, and will relate to you events that have transpired in your house hold, of which but lor their laudable vigilance, you might have remained in perfect ignorance forever. There is nothing that escapes their observation, from the cellar to the garret.— The multifarious transactions of the kitchen and the ramifications of the laundry, which, to me, were always as mysterious as the complex doctrine of nullification, or the machinery of a steamboat, are as familiar to them as to the pre siding Dieties of your pots, kettles, and urash tubs. The most insignificant and unimportant sayings of the drawing room are treasured up by these indefatigable busy-bodies, circulated throughout the neighborhood with an earnest ness, which would seem to imply that their very existence depended upon their dissem ination. They usurp alike the prerogative of the chambermaid and the boot black. They can tell the exact quantity of cream or %igar which every member of your family uses in his tea—whether you drink out of china or pro celain—whether you breakfast a quarter before six, or eleven minutes and a halt after nine o’ clock. They know the dimension of your cof fee pot, the color of you night cap, and can tell with the most unerring precision the number of holes in your stockings. They are intimately acquainted with all your habits, tastes, and ec centricities, and can enumerate every article of your wardrobe, describe its quality, and tell what it cost, where it wras purchased, and whe ther it has been paid for or not. The services of these people are not, we expect, so w ell ap preciated by the community as they deserve.— But for their untiringindustry in collecting fami ly incidents, and retailing them to the public, we might remain for over ignorant of what tran spires among our neighbors. Are any or our valued Iriends sick or dead? who so readily bring us the doleful intelligence as they? Has any thing occurred to tarnish your friend s cha racter or blacken his fame? these kind and offi cious beings are the first to whisper it into your ears, accompanied by every aggravation which the case will admit of. A family feud is pounc ed upon with as much avidity as a nock of vul tures would alight upon a dead carcase. But the most delicious morceaux of all is a mysteri ous affair, involving the reputation of one or more individuals. What smacking of lips and rubbing of hands! What rapturous glistening of the eye bulls at the prospect of such a feast! None are so apt at solving mysteries. Such ominous shakes of the head—such durtf insinu ations. Wo be unto the individual wdio falls under their suspicion, or whose character is subjected to their surveillance! Better fall into the hand of a highway robber.—Is at. hit.

GEO. WHITE, nov 21 ALEXANDRIA. SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. 22. 1834. FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC SUMMARY. DOMESTIC NEWS. ("PREPARED FROM THE PAPERS RECEIVED BY YESTER DAY^ MAIL.] A most outrageous murder was committed on the 19th inst., on the Washington Rail Road, 8th section, about 18 miles from Baltimore. It appears that a dispute arose between some of the workmen and Mr. John Watson, the Super intendent, relative to their wages, he withhold ing a portion on account of their neglect of du ty. On the previous night they assembled’at his quarters and gave him several severe blows, which confined him within doors, and last night they entered his dwelling and beat him so se verely that he soon after expired. We also hear that his Assistant, Mr. Mercer, has also been severely beaten in the affray, if not actu ally murdered. A “hue and cry” has been raised in tlie neighborhood, and it is hoped the i murderers will be brought to the bar of justice. Mr. Watson is spoken of as an upright, estima ble citizen in all inspects. The new location of the Cumberland Road, from the town of Cumberland, through the Nar rows of Will’s Creek, was opened for travel, with all due formality, on Tuesday of last w eek. We learn from the Civilian that the occasion was celebrated in a grand and patriotic style by the citizens of Cumberland and Frostburg, an measured six inches in thickness. it 4 ll> pDy chased by a couple of Norfolk victualers at cents a pound. The young girl, upon whom the outrage^ rape was committed, in Cumberland count? Md. has died, after lingering about two month from the perpetration of the deed. Ray, the ma who was found guilty of the crime, and tenced to 21 years’ imprisonment in the pen,, tentiary, may now, in all probability, have sentence changed to capital punishment— hanr. ed instead of imprisonment. The trial of Abner Kneeland, on a chargefiir blasphemous publications, commenced at Bis. ton on Monday, and the defendant is mana-rin* his own cause. FOREIGN ITEMS. [COLLECTED FROM THE ENGLISH PAPERS RECtlVf, BY THE LAST ARRIVAL. The English journals received by the last ar rival, take great pleasure in quoting the lateb published letters of a young French naturalist of the name of Jacquemont, who has given h« countrymen some ideas of the British posses sions in India, such as they never had before. The following epitaph has just been placed on the tomb of Gaspard Hauser, buried at Ans pach:—Hie jacH Gaspmdua Hunger, tnigm aid temporia, Ignota nutiritaa, ucciltu nun. 1333.—Here lies Gaspard Hauser, the enigmaof his age. Ilis nativity unknown: his death con cealed. The illiberal warfare of the government a gainst the press continues in France. A French paper says:—‘ the ministry does not relax in its prosecutions of the press. It is in vain that the journals of all parties make their language ac cord with public opinion,—so much improved within six months: the tribunals of France al ways tieat them as the locusses of rebellion.” A w riter in the London New Monthly Magazine, in an article entitled Revolutions in the nine teenth century,” assumes the position thatthe co nparatively briel period w hich has elapsed since the year 1800, exhibits more wonderful changes in the governments, institutions, arts, sciei C's and manufactures of Europe than ha* ever before been witnessed in any similar space of time since the world began. Amongst the recent improvements, or at Ieast( changes, which have been made, is that of slate for flooring and paving; to both of which it has been applied in London. M. Renucci. a medical student at Paris, has succeeded in detecting the itch insect (Arcus scabrei,) the existence of w hich was doubted It resembles the mole in shape, and is thus ena bled to burrow under the cuticle. The discove ry has created quite a sensation among the sa vans of Paris. I A fashionable London tailor, gravely adver tises a new method of cutting, by all system* that ever have been or ever may be invented.” There is at present in the Liverpool Opthal mic Infirmary, under Mr. Neill’s care, a case of very great interest. The patient is a little girl who was born blind. About three years ago Mr. Neill operated on the right eye; the opera tion was successful, and she obtained sight. She was then in her 8th year. On Saturday last, the 4th instant, Mr. Neill operated on the left eye, in the Slater-street Institution, with a simi lar happy result. This little creature, horn blind, and for eight years in darkness, is now in full possession of the most precious sense; she can distinguish colors and the smallest object*. It is in contemplation in Paris, to strike 74 me dals, with a view to illustrate the principal event* connected with the French Monarchy. This plan was was in fact, conceived by Louis XIV. Na poleon adopted it with enthusiasm, and Cliarle* the Tenth gave orders for its execution. '3 now to he carried into effect bysome speculators but the Minister of the Interior has given In* authority for the medals to be struck at the Roy al Mint, and some of them have already been struck. The two figures of Louis XIV, and Henry IV., which arc finished, are said to be beautifully executed. Burke in his history of the Commons of Great Britain, gives a voluminous account of Ihe gen ealogy of the celebrated Daniel O’Connell, of whom it would appear George IV. spoke the truth, when he nick-named him King O’Con nell;” as Daniel is descended for many hundred years from a line ot Milesian kings who once reigned in Limerick, Kerry, and Clare, and have always been distinguished for their brave ry and wealth. Daniel’s uncle, Colonel Count O’Connell, was a general in the armies of Louis XVI. There is man going about London preaching to groups of people, and calling himself a mis sionary from Mahommed to con vert the English heathen. The ruins of the great fire at London conti nued smoking for several days, and tens of thou sands of the Londoners flocked to-see them, and also the King and Queen came from Windsor

We should pose> from his profession, this longevity ar gued against at least extreme abstinence. Dr. Lardner, so well known in this country bv j,is valuable writings, is to give this winter a course of lectures to the Mechanics’ Institution, Liverpool. Two young folks were lately married at Chel ham' perfectly blind, and the bridesmaid, *ho led them, partially so. Love is certainly blind in this case, at all events.

Vermont Congressional Election.—There was a second trial in Vermont, on Monday the 10th. in the three Districts which failed to elect iaSeptember. In the 2d District, the lion. Ho race Everett has succeeded. The opposing can didates were Mr. Loveland and Capt. Patridge. In the 4th District, from the returns given in tie Burlington Free Press, we judge that there is nochoice. Mr. Allen, the present member, and Mr. Van Ness, Minister to Spain, are the oppo se candidates. In the 5th District the returns given show a dose vote, and the result doubtful. The contest was between Mr Janes, an Anti-Mason, and Mr. Fletcher, a Jackson man.—Albany Journal.

DIED, At Nicholaef, on or near the Black Sea, Thomas Munroe, one of the Alds-de-Camp of the Emperor of Russia, aged thirty-six years. His death was rumored about two months pre viously, hut he was afterwards at Odessa, in an improved state of health; and authentic ac counts received thence by his father in Washing ton, not only proved the rumor to be premature, (though founded on severe, and then almost hopeless, illness,) but gave encouragement to expect his recovery. On his return to Nicho laef, however, his malady (of the pulmonary nature) rapidly increased, and ended his exist encein a few wepks. two weeks the Session of Congress will commence. Its duration, by the Constitution, will be limited to the 4th of March next. Though brief, it will, doubtless, be one of much interest. The peculiar political condition of the country, and the state of parties, a ill more than make up for the absence of any exciting matters of mere legislation. During the Session we will exert ourselves to give our readers the earliest and most authentic intelligence from the Seat of Government. The Alexandria Gazette will contain, daily, a sum mary of the proceedings of Congress of the day previous, prepared expressly for its columns.— We design to keep a faithful and impartial re cord of the debates that may take place in both houses; and, for this purpose, shall always give, at least, one or two of the principal speeches on both sides, on all questions of importance. We shall have, likewise, the advantage of Correspondents from Washington, whose letters will give the current news of the Metropolis.— Our own personal attendance, as often as we can. at Congress, will also enable us to collect all of interest that transpires. Thus, without burthening our columns, or an noying our readers with all that is said and done in Congress on every subject, private and pub lic, we hope to present them with an account of every thing useful or interesting. In the mean time we shall not remit our exer tions to make the Gazette a channel for con veying to its readers the earliest news foreign and domestic. with the Literary, Political, and Commercial intelligence of the day; so that, with- j out confining its columns to any particular sub- ject or subjects, to the exclusion of others, it may i always he referred to for that information which intelligent citizens ought to expect from a news paper.
