the case he has committed "a ciime!-
And what is still more, what right have
they, in any case whatever, to compel
member Of the Greek Republic to
become the subject of a foreign Power'
None whatever.-They have no such
right: and if it be the object OF the
document in question to subject Greece
to the domination Of England, whether
it be like Malta, the Ionian islands,
Gibraltar, or Canada, / maintain that
persons who have signed the document
have been guilty of an usurpation OF
power, and violation Of the-rights OF
the Greek nation, which cannot be JUS
tiled in the eyes of the world.
"a member Of the Legislative Body
has since shown me a document, and
endeavored to convince me that 1t con-
tains nothing to effect the national H.
dependence Of the country; that the
Greeks did not so understand il: and
that The English and the whole world
>coald not put such Interpretation upon
it.
81 remain in doubt upon the subject
for the expressions in the document;
which has been shown TO me, seem TO
me to be extremely equivocal; and, be-
sides, | place little confidence in the
probity Of the English Government,
which is accustomed, if it can but at
tain its ends, to violate the laws oil ma
tons and The obligations which 1t has
taken on itself.
SAT the same time, other interesting
questions arise. First, in what manner
will the English Government afford as
sistance TO the Greeks? With going TO
war with the Porte! Or by negotiating
a treaty of peace between the two par
ties? And has the English Commodore
who carried on the negotiation receiv-
ed instructions on the subject from his
Government?
"The negotiation is 10 me covered
with veil, which time will perhaps
raise; till then, say, that il assistance
only has been applied for, there is no
objection to be made, but if this affair
is to end in the national dependence OF
Greece. this is an event which | shall
1eplore; and consider it as my duty
10 declare to the whole world my dis
appreciation of all measures that may

AMERICAN LEGHORN.

The most beautiful specimen of Ameri-
can female ingenuity and industry which
has come under our observation, we ex-
amined yesterday at the Exchange. Il is
a hat, the materials Of which grew in the
town Of Danvers, (Mass.) and were pre-
pared and formed by very young lady
Of that place. The colour, texture, and
workmanship, Of this hat, will not suffer
on comparison with the finest from
Leghorn-and it furnishes also the plea
sing assurance that liberal encourage
ment towards the industry and enterprise
Of our worthy country-women is alone
necessary to save to the country thou

required for the payment Of the imported
article Bait. timer.

the ancient popular name for kind Of
demon or devil among the Gauls, SO that
this saying, the meaning Of which SO few
understand, has at least its antiquity to
recommend it. 1t is mentioned in St.
Austin, De Ciuitates Del, as libidipous
demon, who was charged with doing
good deal of mischief Of so subtle ma
ture, that as none saw it, it did not seem
possible to be prevented, Later days

GROTTO OF BALAGANsK, IN SIBERIA. vi
The Grotto of Balagansk, 1870 versts from the
lrkoutsk, and about versts from the town of that
name, is very interesting natural curiosity It's en-
trance is formed by rock that rises 70 feet perpen
dcuar and is about 1870 feet in width, and of such
form as to have the appearance from distance of
large edlhce in ruins. The aperture consists of
three large assures these lead into three separate
galleries, which, after running length of 1850 feet,
unite at the commencement of the principal cavern,
and then extends itself forthe distance of two verss
after which all further progress is impeded by i'm
mense masses Of ice. Not less interesting are the
runs OF mountain near the Angara, at the distance
of l65 versts from lrkoutsk, and which fell down
on the Goth of March, 1890, with noise resembling
thunder accompanied Gas the Bratsky who witness
ca the phenomenon report BY smoke and fame,

against Christ, and the palace of Caaphas stood
1t is broad and barren hill, without any of the
picturesque beauty of Ovet, though loftier On
its side is pointed out the Aceldama, or field where
Judas hung himself; small and rude edihce stands
on it, and it is used burying place. But the
most interesting portion of this hill is where its
rocks descend precptously into the valley of Hin
nom, and are mingled with many a struggling olive
tree. All these rocks are hewn into sepulchres
of various forms and sizes; no doubt they
the tombs of the ancient Jews, and are in general
cut with considerable care and skill They are
often the resting place of the benighted passenger.
Some of them open into inner apartments, and are
provided with small windows or apertures cut in
rock. There is none of the darkness or sadness of
the tomb but in many, so elevated and picturesque
the situation, that traveller may pass hours here
with book in his hand, while valley and hill are
beneath and around him. Before the door of one
large sepulchre stood a tree on the brink of the
rock; the sun going down on Oliyet on the
right, and the resting place of the dead command
ed a sweeter scene than any of the abodes Of the
living. Many Of the tombs have flights of steps
leading up to them; it was in one of these that
celebrated traveller would fix the site Of the holy
sepuchre it's certainly more picturesque, but why
more just is hard to conceive since the words Of
Scripture do not allow the identity of the sacred
tomb to any particular spot, and tradition on so
memorable an occasion could hardly err The F&-
theirs declare tlong since became necessary to cover
the native rock with marble, in order to prevent the
pilgrims from destroying it, in their zeal to carry off
pieces to their home, and on this point their rela
ton may, one would suppose, be believed.

the truly interesting and instructive little paper call

been contributed by the Ladies. Hearing many
express their wonder at this circumstance mas
much as the Ladies specially invited to write,
and the very title of the paper says that its esab

sons of their pens, and fix wreath of literary flow

proper to account for this seeming phenomenon,
by supposing, (and fear a number of my readers
will admit my supposition to be true,) that it is
ing to the very strange and no less shameful neglect
which is paid to female education in this country
Females here are taught generally but the most in

which believe in many instances to be superior to
those of men, Intentionally left in barren and
almost uncultivated state lest they should bv being
rendered fertile, detract from the glory Of the men

shamefully summary. see no cause-T know of
no reason, why the female mind should not be as full

Bat uhen the hour Of deep distress ensued,
And days came with sore affection ffaught,
I felt them but knew not whence they came,
Nor what was the import Of their sure Grand. , :
True when all earthly aids have sunk beneath l!eft
The weight Of overwhelming woes-when all alone, ana
The prey of midnght's darkest gloom,
As last refuge have sought ray
Of comfort in that Pozoer; but then
Twas through the mist of Superstition's veil
I've searched the wild bewilderng creeds
Nv MORALS manufactured in the brain,
As paths to peace on earth, and guides to shores
of Heavenly regions, somewhere far away.
I've heard long prayers and sermons measured
BY the yard, and vended from the pulpit
Like rubbish auction! But these creeds
And prayers and schemes of grace, when decomposed
And tested by the light of truth and reason,
Like all the other fabrics built by man,
Have crumbed into nought, and left me
Far more benighted in the maze Of doubt,
Than Yes, cen urged me TO dispute
The superintendent Of God on earth.
Fair one, thou says
That I have :" found friend" and believe thee.
10 not oft believe, as sacred truth,
What man says; yet believe,
with all my faults, m, follies and my crimes,
I've "found frend,'' who we'll deserves the name,
| Not one of those in rounds OF fashion made
Notone of those by dazzling splendor caught
BY interest sway'd-or sordid views inspired;
But one who kindly took me by the hand
When affection agonzed my soul
| And cleft asunder all the Ties OF life
NV as then he found mesoothed the pains Of grief
Bound up the bleeding wounds by sorrow made,
! IND pointed out the polar star OF truth;
small, bright twinklng light which broader grows

That ai.sustdining light that dawns on me.
OF all emotions OF the human breast,
With me hut remains; It's gratitude,
That tender which he hath taxd full deep.
His tender sympathy has walked again
Those kndler feelings which SO long had slept
For now smiling look around. and say
rhe worlds srear hath urnishd with Friends.
And though the fig no bloom shall bear--he vine
No fruit shall yied--and olives labor fail;
Though barren the eldsthe folds contain no ocks
