DEATH OF LAENNEc.-Under the Medical
head of the Spy of August 9, our readers will
lind notice, extracted from one of Professor
Carriers letters, of this distinguished yotary OF
science, Qhere misspclled Lacunec) and of his
new mode, called the duseuliation susiena.- of
asccrtaning the diseases of the chest. In a
letter from friend of ours, now residing in
Paris, his death is announced as follows:-
The celebrated Laennec died at his coun-
try residence on the 18th of August. The
publication in 1919, Of his bc9k on new
method of ascertaining diseases of the chest,
forms an era in the history Of medicine. Mr..
i4aennec fell victim to one of those diseases,
the investigation of which, by himself, has
enriched the field of science, contributed to
the alienation of human suffering. and given
his own name high rank among the great and
the good men of his age.''

The Editor of the Boston Courier expresses
hope, that the concluding para graph of our
article on the Weollen Manufacture, last
week, may be recei1 cd as a pledge of the
course which the Representative in Congress
from this district will take upon that subject.
|; is therefore proper for us to say, that, in
writing the article, we had noallusion to him,
and that whatever views he may entertain on
this particular subject, we are not informed Of
them. We can only judge of his course, from
the knowledge we have Of his talents, good
sense and independence, which are TO US an
assurance that, on this, as on all other ques-
tions, he will be found supporting what be
believes to be the best interests Of his coun-
try.

OUTRAGEs AT BATAvIA.-We have pub
lished an account of some proceedings, which
have created strong sensation in the western
part of Ncw-York. Although the persons i'm
plicated are Masons, it would be manifestly
wrong to coudemn the Society, as a body, for
the dongs of a few misguided individuals be-
longing to it. 1t gives US pleasure to say, that,
SO far as we can learn, their acts are condemn
ed and disavowed BY the Masons generally in
that vicinity. Coy. Clinton has issued a
proclamation, requiring the enforcement of
the law, against the offenders. In a letter
accompanying it he says:-
" No provocation can justify resort 10 per-
sonal violence or an aggression upon the peace
OF society; and no person can be punish ed
for his acts, however censurable or depraved.
except by tie legitimate authorities of the
country.'

THE BRIGHTON CATTLE Snow, &c." On
the whole" says the Editor OF one Of the Bos-
ton papers, "the exhibition does not appear
TO have excited lis usual degree of interest.
This is, probably, no indication that our farm
ers and manufacturers have less 10 enjoy,
though they may be less disposed to talk about
and sheio it'' Now. TO talk about and TO
shew the productions of our farms and manu-
factories, and the manner of their production,
we have always understood to be the princi-
pal object Of ihsse annual exhibitions, and the
means of rendering them most extensively USE
ful, by disseminating the knowledge of inn
provements, and reaping the reward of thom,
in the honorable distinction which they in
sure TO successful enterprise, and by premiums
jadiclousy and impartially awarded. We
have 40 doubt of the great benefits which
have resulted to the Commonwealth from the
institution of these agricultural holidays, and,
although as public spectacle, they may cease
to attract so great crowd as at first, we be-
leye that no observing farmer or manufacturer
has ever found the time mspent which he has
devoted to them. We shall regret to see the
'i'nt when hey shall "all die away" as some
predict, because we think that much good has
been Effected by them, and much may s:ill be
Effected by their continuance. Surely one
day in The year may he usefully employed in
the interchange of knowledge, in the susges-
t.on Of Improvements, and in receiving and
Communicating useful hints and Instructions,
for which our Cattle Shows furnish so lavora-
bic an opportunity.

TIE GREEKs.-There is nothing so sacred,
that selfsbuess will not appropriate it for the
accomplishment of ITS own purposes--and no.
thing SO holy, that aYarice will not make i: its
prey if the opportunity be given. The Greeks,
engaged in a conflict for independence, exhib-
the sympathy Of freemen and Christians. Its
impulse has been felt in their behalf; but,
while one portion of the community have been
contributing for their relief, another has been
seeking to make the scanty fund which friend
ship and charity had accumulated, subservi-
ent to its own interest and aggrandizement.-
la England great dissatisfaction is expressed,
by the holders Of bonds arising from the Greek
loan, in consequence of the mismanagement
of tie fund, by its self.constituted trustees in
that country; and apprehensions were enter
tainedthat the Greek government would dis
avow the application of considerable portion
of the money. In New-York, immense sums
have been prohgately expended in bHilding
and equipping two irigates, contracted for in
behalf Of the Greeks. Enormous commissions
were taxed, and allowed by arbitrator, who,
for their own services, charged the sum OF
$1,000 each, payment Of which they took care
TO secure TO themselves by the terms of the a
ward. 1t is also asserted that $4,000 per
annum was charged for the use of the yards on
which the ships were built, including compon-
sation for the personal attendance Of one man
in each. The detail Of the facts in the case is
elaborate; but, if nought has been s'set down
in malice" the Greeks have great reason TO
complain of the rapacity of those into whose
hands they have fallen.
