Greece ':

The Disdar of Athens was very rapacious in his
demands for leave to copy inscriptions,
" After °experiencing numerous vexatious from
this 'mercenary Turk (says the author), a ridi-
culous -eirennistance at length released us from
his ittiportunities. was one day engaged in
drawing. the. -Parthenon with the aid of my
camera obserrra, when 'tile Disdar, whose surprise
was sitcitgilllayf the ..,,novelty of the sight, asked,
Willa a' tort OT fietita inquietude, what new con-
juration I Was performing, with that extraordi-
nary machine? I endeavoured to explain it, by
putting in a clean sheet of paper, and making him
look into the catnera obsettra ; but be no sooner
saw the temple instantaneously reflected on the
paper in all its lines and colours, tha4, he „inter•
gine& that rI (had produced the ''effect by some
*magical process ; his astonishment appeared
mingled with alarm, and stroking his long
black beard, he repeated the words Allah,
Mesch-Allah (a term of admiration, .meaning
that which is made by GOD,) several times.—
He again looked into the camera obscitra with a
kind of cautious diffidence, arid at that moment,
some of his soldiers happening to pass before the
reflecting glass, were
.helield by the astonished
Disdar walking on the paper ; he now became
outrageons ; and after calling me pig, devil, and
Btionaparte; be told me that,. it 1 chose, might
take away the temple and all the stones in the
citadel ; but that he would never permit the to
conjure his soldiers into my box. When I formed
it was in vain to reason with his ignorance, 1
changed my tone, and told bins that if he did not
leave me unmolested, I would put him into nay
box, and that he should hod it a very difficult
matter to get out again. His alarm was now
visible ; he immediately retired, and ever alter
stared at me wit'.l a mixture of appehension and
amazement. When he saw me conic into the
Acropolis,, lie carefully avoided my approach ;
and never afterwards gave we any further 0101 Ci•
tation."

The following act of atrocious barbarity,which
occurred at Padstow, on Wednesday se'nniglit,
was, says The West Briton, I !pitted to us by
a Gentleman in that neighbourhood :—A man,
named Edward Knight, a carter, in the employ of
Mr. T. Rowe, brewer, of Padstow, was (hiving a
cart belonging to his master, when, finding that
the Shalt horse did nut draw its be wished, he fas-
tened the tongue of the animal. with a strong
cord, to what is called the spreader, which keep,
the traces behind the fore-horse at a proper di.-
tatice from each other. The leader was thou
whipped, and the strain bore on the tongue oh its
companion ; the miserable sufferer drew back,
whilst the miscreant continued to urge the othcr
horse lot ward, until several inches of the tongue
of the wretched animal were actually torn off. It
it undeistood that the law will nut leach rite bar-
barous ruffian who hiss committed this outrage'
but through the prosecution of the owner it the
horse. The affair has created much attention iu
the neighbourhood, the respectable inhabitants of
which fully expect that Air. Howe will show his
abhorrence of this atrocious cruelty, by bringing
the wretch who perpetrated it to justice.
let iible accident happened in the lieighbour-
bnod of Cannobies on Friday week. A Gentle-
man, on his return from shooting, having a loaded
win in his hand, met in the road a young woman
of his acquaintance, whom he attempted to kiss
A kind of struggle ensikcd, in which some part ut
the unfortunate girl's appnrel came in contac,
with the trigger; the gun went off, and its con-
tents lodging in her breast, she expired on the
spot ! The nuhappy man is said to be in a state
of Mind, in consequence, bordering upon deli•
dam.
