The Proprietor, flattered by the Successwhith has attended his ex-
ertions, hay determined to give TWO DAYS' FETE on a more ex-
tended Scale than has ever before been witnessed. In announcing a
SYLVAN FETE,
The Proprietor's aim will be directed to enable the Subscribers,
Gentry and the Public, to witness those RUSTIC SPORTS
which are nearly obsolete, but the observance of which procured for
this country the title of " Merrie England," and which, in the Olden
Tine, constituted the principal Amusements of a country fair I

cers, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, Pipe and Tabor, &c., will be ex-

FL drink t the garlands around it."—HERRICS.
A display of toe noble science of ARCHERY ! will take place by
the Members of the loxopholite Clubs, in their Forest Costume.
The science of Archer , but for the manly and spirit-stirring efforts
of the Archery t !labs, would soon become a " Tale of by-gone Days,"
co-existent with Robin Hood and His Merry Men, when in Sherwood
Forest they drew " The cloth-yard shaft," and the welkin rang with
" the shouts of the foresters bold."
" flail to our leader, brave Robin Hood,
For a noble marksman and forester good."
A decorated Pavilion will be erected for the use of the competitors.

chef d'ceuvre of the scenic art, and the Unequalled Menagerie will be
exhibited.

will be displayed. Also the laughable and most amusing scene of
a Giugling Match, and the ludicrous game of Jumping in Sacks,
a Grotesque Dance by two trained animals of the Establishment, in
imitation of the Modern Polka, will be introduced.

mirth-inspiring antics and drolleries. He will afterwards become

was the vehicle which bore at once the demand of repa-
ration and the thunder to enforce it. It may be well that
the relations of Eur( pe have since become too com-
plex, and the powers of independent states too equally
balanced, to admit of the recurrence of such events now-a-

days. Yet, nevertheless, conditions of circumstances occa-
sionally arise that make one deplore the altered tone and
more prudential spirit which our Government is compelled
to assume, and finds the necessity of acting under, in re-
ference to enormous political delinquencies on the part

of other Powers. A case of this kind, we must own,

was opened on Friday night in Parliament, by Lord
PALmsnsroN, in one of du most powerful and
remarkable speeches of the session. From cer.

tain communications and petitions which had been
transmitted to his Lordship he was enabled to bring
under the notice of the House of Commons some statements
touching the present condition of Greece, and the suffer-
ings of the Greek people, disclosing an amount and
variety of misgovernment, ministerial profligacy, and
shameless oppression, such as even in Greece itself—the
fated theatre of an iron despotism, or a bloody anarchy,
for so many ages—have scarcely found their parallel.
Lord PALMERSTON showed that since the removal of
NIAVROCORDATO, a " sound patriot," from the head of
King OTHO'S Government, which was effected by the
basest and most invidious intrigues, CoLETTI—a man
brought up in the school of the execrable ALI
Pscue (the monster of Janina)—and subsequently
wielding in Egypt the irresponsible powers delegated to
the officers of oriental princes, had been elevated to the
post of Prime Minister. Under this man's with-ring
possession of office, the social, internal, and political
condition of the country had fearfully and rspidly de-
clined. The pay of the regular army had been per-
mitted to run two or three years in arrear. In their
place the Government had retained and exercised the
services of large bands of the Polikary, a species of
frontier robbers by profession and descent of the
most violent and remorseless character, who
were over-running the villages in every di-
rection, plundering the inhabitants, or exposing
them to the most inconceivable tortures and atrocities,
for the sake of extorting their money, goods, or posses-
sions from them. In those instances where an accused
delinquiint could not be readily found. these wretches
would proceed to the village or town of his residence,
and, on a plea of punishing collusion, would seize a
dozen of the residents, tie them together, set them
swinging, and in that position cruelly scourge the sole-
of their feet. Others they would tuhjsct to the agoniz-
ing infliction of passing ramrods through the calves
of their legs. Some were thrown upon their backs,
and stones of enormous weight placed upon th,
chests, in their vain attempt to escape from which they
struggled till life became extinct. As for the native
peasant women, besides other indignities arid brutslities
they were subjected, occasionally, to the dreadful lacers:
tion of wild cats, who were introduced within the
ample folds of their habiliments. These, and a thousand
other atrocities, have long been habitually committed,
with the knowledge of COLETTI, unpunished, un-
restrained. The people of Messina, and other places,
have sent over petitions imploring the interference of
this country to put a stop to these infernal practices, so
utterly disgraceful to the Greek Government, to the age,
to ell Christendom, and to universal cisilisation.

And surely, not without reason, might these unhappy
people turn their eyes to England, seeing that vs e took
the principal share in constituting their present state an
independent sovereignty; that we are, with other Powers
guarantees for the integrity of that state; that we ad-
vanced to the Greek Government a large pecuniary loan,
in the repayments of which that Government is largely
in arrear ; and that we hold, as a security for those
repayment-, a power to impound, at any time.
the principal sources of the national revenue, and
are entitled there3ut to repay ourselves. Ssurely,
without resorting to any armed intervention by
expensive armaments, we are in ample condi-
tion, under these circumstances, to insist on the
miserable servants of the half imbecile monarch of a so-
vereignty, to say the lc ast of it, in, a state of tutelage us
to ourselves and the other guaranteeing powers, desisting
from the countenance thus given by them to these revolt-
ing excesses—to insist on the dismissal of a Minister
whose machinery of government is five centuries behind
that of all other European kingdoms—to insist on re•
spect for the rights of a p ople who hold a constitution
to which the faith of the King has been solemnly
and irrevocably pledged, despite the scandalous
violations of it whi,h he permits or perpetrates every
day. We hope that Parlament, whilst it will assuredly
affirm the doctrine of non-intervention, wherever it can be
honourably—and even safely—acted on, will elicit from
our own Government some more energetic and intelli
gible declarations than at y which hive yet be. n elicited
from the cold and vague responses of Lord ABERDEEN
Or Sir ROBERT PEEL. They have but to speak as
becomes the Ministers of an English Constitutional
Sovereign—and these scandals of our times must cease,
the Greeks be reinstated in their just rights, and
COLETTI and his myrmidons be dismissed to the infamy
and obscurity their crimes have so justly merited.

The attention of the country has of late been power-
fully directed to the condition of the lunatic poor.
Their claims upon general humanity have been ac-
knowledged—and in England have the immediate pros-
pect of being peremptorily enforced. The unpro•
tected condition of that afflicted class has long been a
disgrace to England, but as outraged nature has at last
vindicated her rights, we would not dwell upon the
past, but would anticipate for this humane legislative in-
terference a triumphant career of usefulness.
It argues somewhat for the existence of a kindly and
affectionate feeling on the part of the Scottish
rich towards the poor, to find that during the
last twelve months a scheme has been in progress in the
very heart of that territory, whose primary object is to
afford refuge to the poor under such circumstances of
affliction, and which professes also to extend its accom-
modation on the lowest terms to those of a superior class.
We allude to the foundation of the Royal Northern Lunatic
Asylum. We are gratified to observe that his Grace
the Duke of SUTHERLAND is a large contributor to this
patriotic object.
It was said by Lord ASHLEY, in the House, whilst
introducing the English Bill now in progress, that in
no European country were pauper lunatics in a more
degrading position than in Scotland. The north of
Scotland must, indeed, confess that she has permitted
her lunatic poor, scantily clothed and houseless, to tra-
verse her glens and mountains, dependant even f x the
poorest sustenance upon precarious charity, bearing with
them,in inseparable companionship,terror and disgust. She
must confess that she has adopted no moral or sanatory
means towards impeding the course, or abating the vio-
lence of that fearful calamity in the individual mind, or
in the mind of the country. We would not attribute
this unseemly dereliction to any mean reluctance to defray
the expense of accommodating the pauper lunatic. The
north of Scotland is a poor country, but we believe her to
be honest and sensible ; and we doubt, therefore, if there
be any proprietor within her mountain boundaries who
would harbour so unseemly an idea. We are assured
here is not one who would commit himself to

the humiliating avowal. We attribute the un-
protected position of those unfortunate I), in:4s,
to the absence of any local asylum in the
north, to the consequent difficulty of obtaining ace. ,mino
dation even in remote establishments, and, in many case-,
to the absolute impossibility of obtaining such accommo-
dation in any locality, or upon any terms whatever. In

this view do we consider this projected Institution
as valuable. Can its importance as a patriotic
Institution be over-estimated, when it is considered that
it will afford an ever-ready and inexpensive refuge to
the lunatic poor of the counties of Inverness, Caithness,
Ross, Moray, Sutherland, and /4 ? Within these
limits the number of lunatics, in 1818, amounted to up-
wards of 700, and it is a melancholy statistical position,
admitting of no doubt, that lunacy is on the increase.
We are aware that this scheme may meet with Opp
sition from those who are inclined to maintain the pro-
priety of legal assessment for all such local objects It
may be, that rather than act counter to their own
opinions, such individuals would make forfeits of the
considerable sums already collected for this object, and
would peril its ultimate attainment in the cherished
idea of an agreeable union among the northern counties
of a willing adoption by them of a heavy assessment ;
or of legislative interference to render ~uch assessm, nt
ciimpulsory.
We believe that such ideas are Utopian and vain, and
we consider it proper to record, for the information of
general contributors, that those who act upon the m can-
not benefit in a pecen,ary form by the institu-
tion which they oppose. This asylum most pro.
perly offers no benefit to proprietors or
parishes unless contributing to its funds. and the
contributor upon whom no legal burden could be laid,
but who gives for the gratification of his own generous
feelings, has the satisfaction of knowing that his dona-
tion is not directed to any unbecoming use, but is de-
voted exclusively to relieving the afflictions of the poor.
It is gratifying to know that, on the erection of this
asylum, the whole of Scotland will be provided
with ample lunatic accomrnodaion of the best
character. In the towns of Dumfries, Perth, Aber
deen, Dundee, Montrose, and Edinburgh, there are
asylums conducted upon the most approved domestic
sr,ter and upon the most liberal public principles.
Therefore, should it be necessary, hereafter, for the
islature to interfere with the subject of lunacy in
