R. 57360 FOR THE SUN. Ma. EDITOR- - Perceiving by the I,OIIdIA Papers that au attempt is making to impose ott public credulity by getting up a GREEK LAW,- totally unauthorised by the Provisional Govern- ment, I should consider illys,!r neither the friend of Gr3ece nor of E», , :;!ish were I . 1t) omit 3tatipt; 'i•Ar fact:, whic`t \.;II unable those CORCN nid to appr , Niate tlic rocait, of the . preseet scheme. 111:- isit to untlertakien for the exP7 - cs purpose of ascertaining the reel nature of Greek struggle :DO the resources of the country, it was universally agreed by the members of the Senate and Executive thnt im mediate steps should be taken for negociatiu Loan in some capital of Europe, as affording (J., best means of consolidating the New Govetli ment, and bringing the contest to a speedy ter mination. So scrupulous, however, were all those leading men with whom I had any communication on the subject, and so great their anxiety to avoid the errors into which the infant States of South America had fallen in their financial opera tions, that they unanimously assured me it would be more gratifying to them to conduct the war without recurring loans of any kind, than to incur the character for bad faith which certain specu lators in England had brought on some of - the above States. The best proof I can adduce of the sincerity of these assurances is, that very ad vantageous proposals were received by the Exe cutive from Vienna and Naples, relative to raising money in either of these capitals, while I was at that r , e ip m ol t oh e de z eG z a b 00 , fveuprtrnotnhci proceeding, e y ndt li e ga r d : e ho je otu cit ds e dya, yet ti n the (()laeiici bd g ee r cd o o u n ion on necessary. Convinced from all I saw, both as to the march of Government and the superabundant resources of the soil, that agents from the Greek Confede ration might appear on any Exchange of Europe with as strong claims to confidence as the most prosperous of the South American Republics, I had no hesitation in recommending the early ap pointment of a mission to the Continent, for the purpose of negociating a loan ; and as this had already been contemplated by Prince Mauro cordato, as Secretary-General to the Govern ment, there was the less difficulty in acceding to the proposal. The project of a decree having beoti presented to the Legisla - tive Body in the early part of June, accompanied by a message recom mending the contracting a loan, for the service of the Coi►feration generally, it was discussed for three successive days, and passed into a law soon after. A mission, of which Giovanni Orlando of Hydra, late President of the Legislative Body, and Andreas Luriottis, were members, was next appointed, and would have set out much sooner, had not all the attention of the Government been taken up with the operations of the campaign. No sooner, however, had the enemy been de feated at every point, and driven from the seat of war, than it received orders to proceed to Eng land : as the last accounts stated that the Greek mission had embarked in one of his Majesty's packets at Corfu in the latter end of November„, there is little doubt of its almost immediate ar rival, if not already landed on our shores. As to powers either to contract a loan, or for any other object, being granted by the Confede ration, except to the mission above alluded to, it is utterly devoid of truth as well as probability ; nor is it necessary to add, that it would be the very height of injustice to consider the Greek Government as responsible, in the remotest de gree, for any money that might be advanced on the present untenable scheme. To you, Mr. Editor, who have marked the fatal effects arising from that u►►accoutable facility with which Capital has been for ever withdrawn from this country, for purposes directly hostile to British interests, I will not expatiate on the im portance of endeavouring to avoid impostures, such as those which have been practised on our capitalists, in two or three cases, still fresh in public recollection. With respect to the claim() of the Greek people to borrow, and their means of repayment, these will be set forth in due time, and enable the public to estimate their merits as they deserve. Of one point they feel assured : it is, that if the Greeks are as scrupulous in repaying their debts as they have been in borrowing, de ferring it till their unexampled and arduous con test has been brought to a triumphant close, their cretin wilt - de - seri:6 to — beatran cTvantageous Com parison with that of the best established Govern— ments of Europe. Dublin, Jan. 2S. I am, &c. EDWARD BLAQUIERE. ANTIQUITIEs.—In ploughing up a field at Leys, near this place, the ploughman found a rod of pure gold , about 15 inches long, with three sides, each about 1-Bth of an inch deep. In the middle it is twisted,and terminated by alien's similar to a shepherd's crook, in very rude workmanship. It was purchased at 4/. 10s. by Mr. Naughton, jeweller; and is now in his possession. Some additional pieces -of the same de scription have since been recovered by Mr. Naughton; and on connecting them, and inquiring of the labourers as to the manner in which they were found, they seem to have formed one piece of about 18 inches long—depth of the sides 1-oth of an inch—and to have been twisted exactly after the fashion of the worm of a cork-screw. It was found in a field which ha , - been long untitled, in the close vicinity of the Druid's Tenipli: at Leys; and a conjecture has been offered by a neighbourinr Gentleman who ranks high in his knowledge of these matters. that it is likely to have been used in suspending vessels wit! , incense employed in certain religious rites. This would lexl one to suppose that it must have originally belonged to. thos;.; of the Ilomish Church, for we do sot think that the Druid possessed those refined modes of worship.— ( Inverness C‘u-i, Jan. 22.) ,all y :ol In ved ~on- :nta, ring is a NUMBER 9809.

This is the age of improvements ; and we see with pleasure many executed, and many in pro gress, in various parts of the metropolis. These symptoms appear to authorise a hope that a sug gestion for one which is- both obvious and easy will not be thrown away, but will attract the attention of those who may have power to effect it. The multitude of churches in London and Westminster would add very greatly to the beauty and magnificence of these cities were it possible to see them to advantage. Nothing more completely proves how entirely insensible the less polished ages were to effects of this kind, than the manner in which almost all the old churches were crowded, disfigured, and almost hidden by contiguous buildings. That much has been done to remove this re proach, I admit with no small pleasure : The east end of Westminster Abbey, and the south of St. Margaret's, with one complete side of the beautiful chapel of Henry VII., were, in my memory, blocked up and built against by the shabbiest and ugliest brick houses. They are all removed, and the chapel itself restored ; thanks and praise to those who planned and caused these great improvements. The noble portico of St. Martin's is on the point of being opened to view,—another triumph of taste. But much yet remains to be done : In various parts, especially in the City, ugly houses and shops are still plastered up against the very walls of fine churches. St. Clement's has not very long been emancipated ; but look at his neighbour, St. Dunstan, Fleet-street ; see how h e is pester ed and emb arrasse d. St. B r i de ' s is absolutely hidden. The beautiful church of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, has an ugly single house of a shoe maker stuck up against its very tower. St. Bar tholomew's, 'Change, has two or three houses absolutely in contact with its tower and its sides. , n d is l e l i s t s t e t o better m o e ff. r ate all the in stances t It e w n o n u e l t d F b i e n k e in that part of the town ; but wherever they exist they are deformities, — they are worse, to the casualty of fire; and when they stand in for they are positive dangers •. Houses are liabl e contact with churches, the sacred edifice is but too likely to suffer with the private : Much of the mischief of the fire in 1666 was caused by this. The cost of removing these blemishes would, in many instances, be very trifling. The profit made fropi these miserable mansions cannot often great. Barbarism and avaric e m very their erection,—let tast e an d generosity havebe ry therefore destroy them. It was some little satisfactio n to me to observe, in travelling on the Continent, that we are not more barbarous in this respect than our neighbours; some of the finest churches in France,—those of Amiens, Abbeville, Rouen, are disfigured in this horrible manlier. But such a deficiency of taste, if it prevailed throughout Europe, would be no apo logy for us. Let us set them the example, if t h e y will not set it to us : Let the paltry gains merits of a country—i ts sacred e di f i ces, b e de . which are made by di s fi gur i ng the no bl est orna ments and rejected. If these gains accrue to those who cannot afford to lose them, let them be bought up by public money ; if parishes profit by them, they ought to be ashamed to make such profits—they should blush through all their ves tries, till the reproach is removed. I do not contend that every church should be insulated and stand aloof from other buildings, though that is much to be desired, but that, wherever the structure is deformed—embarrassed —disfigured—crowded up by buildings totally incongruous, the offence should be removed as soon as possible—the church placed in safety from the contact of inflammable neighbours—and the public eye delighted by the view of sacred buildings shewn to advantage, while its moral and religious feeliegs were gratified by seeing its most venerable structures treated with becoming respect.

DEMPSTER.-This unfor tunate man died at Middlewich, on Friday, the 14th instant. —The public will recollect that in attempting some jug gling tricks at Carlisle, he sw a ll owe d a table-knife rather more than nine inches long, which remained in his stomach without exciting any very acute pain or producing any se rious consequences until within a few days of his death.— Ile left Carlisle with the intention of proceeding to Lon don, where his mother resides, for the purpose of consult ing Sir Astley Cooper. During the journey to Manchester he suffered much acute pain from the jolting of the coach ; when finding himself unable to bear the motion of the carriage, he embarked in a canal boat, but being taken very ill in the boat, 1.

The handle of the knife (which was of bone) was dis solved, as likewise a considerable portion of the blade; so powerfully indeed had the knife been acted upon by the juices of the stomach, as to impress very forcibly on the minds of the medical men who opened the body, a belief that had the man continued at Carlisle, and been kept in a quiet state, the whole of the knife might have been dissolved, and the case ter minated favourably. The knife will be forwarded to Sir Astley Cooper, together with a more minute account, which will pro bably appear in some periodical work. The public prints hav ing stated that Sir Astley Cooper had recommended an opera tion for extracting the knife, we deem it but justice to the above-mentioned gentlemen to state, that they saw the man only about three hours prior to his death, when inflammation and mortification had already commenced.—( cheater Courant.)
