The circumstances of Miss Bunkley's unlaw- . f\?l detention and escape therefrom, as detailed to several of our citizens by her father, were as follows : Since becoming a novice, she has been doing duty at St. Josephs ScnVinary, as a teacher of music, <kc., for the last ten months. Some months siuee, however, she repented of her connection with the Sisterhood, expressed a desire to return to her home, and wrote to her father to that effect.. The letter was torn up before her eyes, ami she was compelled to write in a different ; 'strain, declaring her satisfaction and contentment with her situation. This last mcutioned letter deceived licr j father; while the deception was confirmed | by having all bis letters to his daughter returned flffopeoed. Aware, at length, thai she was a prisoner, Miss Bunkley determined to escape, and on the morning above named, V * succeeded in effecting her liberty, by climbing through a sash over a door, and thence the yard. Her movements were overheard by the watchman, whose vigilance she eluded by concealing herself behind a tree, j As soon as the watchman turned away, she ' fled?alone a stranger, in the night and ; dressed in her novice's habit and black cap,' this poor terrified girl escaped over the rough 1' country, ten weary miles, to the village of j Creageratown; where, on. inquiring for the stage house, she was directed to_ Stevens' Hotel. She immediately, made known the circumstances of her case to Mr. Charles Stevens, the landlord, and demanded his protec- ( tion, which was promptly accorded, and in . Miss Grimes, a relative of Mr. Stevens, she 1 found a faithful and gentle confident and < friend. Her next step was to write to her father, who, upon receipt of her letter, came t without a moment's delay to her rescue. Miss B. is about 18 years of age, a very ne- \ coinplished and beautiful young, lady, speak- \ 1 ing several languages, and a superior inusi-, 1 jam,.* -.-.v, \ i The Turk. Although of a grave, phlegmatic, listless j exterior, the Turk is remarkable for his gen-1 , tleness toward his children, and he makes no J difference between them and his slaves or other servants. In addition to alms to the t widow and the orphan, his generosity is fro- j quently exercised in building mosques, khans . and fountains ; trees and burial grounds are ^ his delight; and horses, dog, eats and pigeons share in his consideration ; scarcely anywhere ( else are birds so tame and so much linked i with mankind as they are in Turkey; even 11 children respect their nest-*, and it is not by { any moans uncommon to find tombstones on ! . which, in addition to the sculptured devices 1 indicating the vocation, and sometimes also j v the maimer of the death of the deceased, a r little basin has been hollowed out by the; c workmen, in which the smaller birds liiul ai supply of water. Theso tombstones are usually beneath the shade of a cypress tree or a ;!i rose bush. In summing up the character, it may here be observed that, in truth, open nesa and c indor, contentment and entire re-1 signation to his lot, and qualities seldom t denied by any ono to the Turk ; bis memo- ? ry is extraordinary, and his judgement, is generally sound, while the safety ot' travellers, as well as the attention commonly paid 1 to them, sufficiently provos his fidelity and | J. hospitality.' Religion, such as it is, being founded on the JCoran, pervades almost every j| act of his life, and mixes with every conception. Frequent prayer is universally proo- ^ ^ticetf, whether the individual is in the bah, tho ficld4 fhe coffee-house, or the mosque and " as alma are frequently bestowed, abject pov- ,v erty may be said to be scarcely known in the ' cotintry. v Rroal Saoaci.T.?Alexander Smith, the R young poet, has leen appointed by the c f^ueen assistant to the -Astronomer for Scot3and.

THE TUP KEY CLUB. This club, according to notice, met on the ! svening of the 23d inst., but owing to the inclemency of the weather or inndequatcicss of the notice, there was not a sufficient number of members present to form a <jt?o'u?l?. We would most kindly suggest to our brother Tupkrians that if they wish to sustain the Club, or even wish to see it prospering, you will have to attend more regularly. It is the only club, we believe, of the name in the United States, and one whose rules and regulations are such that you doubtlese[y feel, and know, that since its origin you have been materially improved, therefore, you should need no argument to make you attend ; but do so cheerfully, as I am satisfied every true and fuithful Tupkrian will do.

We extract the followingfrom the Washington Journal of Saturday: Of the proceedings on Saturday we have no detailed account, but infer that at the time set apart for the election of Senator for the long term, Mr. Higgs was chosen to that position. Our information is contained in a letter from an esteemed friend in Kalcigh, from which we make the following extract: "Messrs. Kicd and Higgs, are our Senators elect. No two men could have been chosen more acceptable to the Democracy of North Carolina, and the fact of having been quickly done will prove equally satisfactory. In fact, there is every disposition to accomplish the business of tho session sj?ccdily, and it will, no doubt, bo done despitef'all attempt to consume time in useless discussion 1 of matters foreign to the proper busines of the Legislature. Gov. Kicd will probably make known his acceptance as soon as officially notified of his election. In tho event, tho impression seems to prevail that Mr. Winslow will continue to act as Speaker, being also Govornor. ? - Destructive Fire at Marietta, Ga.

The Quince Tree. As a preserving fruit, tho quince ranks among the first and should be more generally cultivated at tho South, one great error into which cultivators have fallen, is in supposing tho quince tree noeds no culture, that it will flourish iu low moist localities. The quince tree is very tenacious of fife and will live where many other trees will no risk hut if fair good fruit be the object, the quince tree should have as good soil and culture, as the j>ear. Tolerablo crops of knotty quinces, arc made on quince bushes, but if they are trimmed into trees, manured, and mulched, the fruit will bo improved astonishingly. Salt has been rccoinmonded as manure, for quince trees, but too much salt will kill them, moderate portions of salt will be found beneficial around all fruit trees, as it attracts, and rotaina moisture and kills insects, but in itself is no manuro. The roots of the quince grow near the surface, hence the importance of mulching around the trees. As a market fruit the quince will always bring good prices, it is dried aa early as the apple, and it brings three times the price of dried apples. Quinces raised in a Southern climato, are not as acid as those raised iu a Northern-one; consequently ground and prossed like upples, they make a very pleasant drink, resembling the juice of the pear. Every planter at'the 9outk should have from twenty to fifty quince trees, which would supply the white and black family, with pies, tarts or stewed fruit, through all the winter mouths It would prove a cheap and healthy condiment, with the bacon and greens. The quinco tree is easily propagated by cuttings or layers.? Soil of the South. Who is Dokstickt ??Doeslieks, whose articles, published in the Detroit Advertiser, have been copied so extensively for tlieir wit and satire, says the New York Post, is a modest young clerk in this city, whose life thus far has only spanned some twenty-three years, and he is disinclined, at present, to part with his anonymous obscurity. lie has nothing to offer the publishers at present, and when he has, if ever, he thinks it will be time enough to roveal his whereabout* and wlmtabouts. lie is not looking to literature as a profession, sees no literary iperit in what he has done, writes to tbq Detroit Advertiser to oblige a younger brother who is connected with that journal, and for no other object.

The instructions are said to have been as follows : 4|t "In case Mr. Soule shall declare his inten tion to enter Franco, to tarry a long or i< short time, he must be notified that .his sojourn in Francois forbid. "In case the Minister of the United Stale* to the Court of Spain shall simply demand to traverse France, in order to reach his peat viae his passport."
