SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 8, 1926.

GREEcE-Upon a full examination OF The
Foreign News, recently received at Boston, we
rejoice 70 find the most conclusive evidence
of the falsity of the reported fall OF Missolonghi.
The story was carried to England by a private
letter, purporting to be from an English Colo
mel and written at Corfu the 18th Of March
but the letter turns out to be a base fabrication,
intended to operate upon the Stock Market; and
the report from Germany, that one division OF
the Russian Army had actually crossed the
pru,b and was destined to Turkey, proves to
be of the same character. Soon after he fall
of Missoloughi was published in the London
Journals, the House of Lords enquired Of the
Earl of Liverpool respecting the truth oil the
account, and received for answer, that the pre-
tended facts mentioned in the letter could not
be true: since Missolonghi was represented to
have fallen al a time When IL CERTAINLY had NOT
fallen.
We have copied from the London Courier
of the Goth Of April, an article oil considerable
interest which the Editors call a review OF MIR.
Adams Message to Congress respecting the
Panama Mission. Coming as 1t does from the
London ministerial journal, it is MOTTO be Won
dered at that the Presidents views and style
should be so unceremoniously criticised; but
il is remarkable enough that the .Ha'nf's's OF
this country, where religious tolera'lon Is so
highly valued, should censurc the President
for PROPOSING the freedom OF religious OPT
Mons 10 our own citizens residing or travel
ling in the South American States, while the
English commentator condemns the measure
because the President does not require universal
liberation for all nations and people The Whole
review is characterized by Jealousy,& made :or
the nurpose of shaking the confidence 2t the
. New Republics in the magnanlmlty and WIS
dom Of our government. Making proper al
lovances for the object in view, the remarks OF
the Ministerial Editor are complimentary to
Mr.. Adams.

THE BOSTON BARD.

We received, during this week, a visit from
the Boston Bard, and were shocked at his wan
and'haggard appearance. Disease has fastened
upon his lettering frame, and his spirits have
become broken by the weight of his suffefings.
He left town yesterday for Newburyport, where
his mother resides.

From the Connecticut Mirror.

The noise wsich we all heard on Thursday
night, about 5 o'clock, is thus accounted form
a letter which a gentleman AT Tariffville vas
good enough 10 write US.
The Powder Mill ana other buildings, the
property of Erastus Phelps * Co. of CRANKY,
blew up on the afternoon of Thursday, the 25th
inst. and two unfortunate men at work in the
buildings blew up with them. 1t is supposed
that the accident was occasioned by dust fall
ing into the mortars while the mill was operat-
ing. The explosion was tremendous. Scat
tered fragments Of the buildings, and pieces OF
the mangled bodies. were found at a great dis
lance, and but for the extreme exertions Of
those that escaped, the magazine containing
$50 barrels would have been blown up too.
The scene is described as terrific. The loss
of property-of lives-of friends and acquaint-
ances, and the prospect Of losing more-the
hustle and confusion-the contest betwixt hire
and water, vase sight too appalling to witness
We ae informed. that the fire which has laid
such a large proportion OF the forests OF Nor
mouth IN ashes, was still raging on the Goth
inst. Thousands of cords of wood, immense
tracts al yalua5le timber land, and the fences OF
many farms, have been wrapped in one COM
mon destruction. The numerous ramifi' ations
of In. i,e, have extended in different directions,
an aggregate distance Of from so to 40 miles,
flashing with i~nconcei, able fury from one COM
bustible object 10 another, and rushing upwards
from the surface Of the earth to the tops Of the
,allest pines, almostw with the rapidity Of light
ming. The greatest efforts have been made to
arrest its ruinous progress, without, effect; and
either five or six persons, in endeavoring TO stay
lis devastating march,, were e%ncircled in its
flaming folds, and burnt to death. Happily, no
dwellings have yet fallen a prey to its fury; but
the blackness Of desolation reigns, where lately
the proud forests waved. Trenton True finer.
Police Court-On "Wednesday, a man who
vas formerly in credit, and has now a wife and
daughter highly respected, was brought before
the Court, charged with taking a newspaper
from the door Of Mr. Richards's store in South
Market-street. He was ably defended by a pro.
frssional gentleman, but was pronounced guilty,
ard sentenced to pay a fine Of two dollars and
costs of COURTROOM which Judgment he APP
pealed to the Municipal Court.-Bosto Courier.

neEtted. Atlength, after much patient perse-
yerance and no little labour, The chairman sue
ceeded in putting the question on the adjourn
ment, aud said it was not possible to determine
on which side there was majority
A CRY Of "diUide, was now heard, the uproar
increased on the Jackson side. and few persons
pushed towards the chair, evidently determined
to displace the officers of the meeting. Their
friends crowded round them; the press was ve-
ry great; the furniture gave way, and the pres
sure became greater and greater "Let US give
them Jackson law" said one rude and boiste-
rous body, who, not respecting himself, felt no
respect for :be character OF the meeting, of
which Reformed most unworthy portion.
In. this state of things, a gentleman of good
reputation, and himself Jackson man, put HIM
self forward to maintain order and support the
chair-he was forthwith assaulted and beat by
at least half dozen men of his own party, &
70 their eternal dishonor and disgrace be it here
recorded, as they have recorded it in black and
white on the arms of their friends, they bit him
BIT HIM WITH THEIR TEETH-FEROC
LY AND FIERCELYs BIT HIM.!m.
This took place Immediately in front, and
within yard of the chair. The Chairman,
respecting himself and the peaceable and res
pectable persons in the room, and seeing no
hope of preserving peace among persons who
thus savagely assaied even the members of
their own party who attempted to preserve or
der, ad journed the meeting TO the Long Room
in the Shakespeare Buildings. In few min
utes, he and the Secretaries Of the meeting, and
more than an hundred Democratic citizens
were then assembled. An official account of
their proceedings, signed by the Chairman and
Secretaries, may be found in another part of
this paper.
In the mean time, those who remained, as is
reported, put Gen. Robert Patterson in the va
cant chair, and made Chandler Price and Joseph
HoreH, st secretaries. The number which now
remained, could easily have been accommodated
in the Court Room, but having mace The motion
to adjourn, it was deemed most advisable to
carry it, and go down into the State House
Yard Being got there, some temporary ar
rangements were made to elevate the chair, &c
and they proceeded to business, adopting the
whole ticket, as reported BY the General Ward
Committee, including Henry Horn for the goth
Congress. 1t is said, that on displaying and
counting off the Jackson men, entitled to vote,
were found to amount to one hundred and fifty
six. Of that number, small as it is, we know
several who will vote for Mr.. Sergeant, III pre-
ference to Mr. Horn. We give The facts with
out intermingling remark or conjecture.

reduce them without the aid OF. q subordinate
sovereign of his vast but crumbling empire, he
should undertake TO exterminate the most eff
Gent body OF troops that his dominions could
boast Of. And this measure, so singular and so
hazardous, is to be accomplished by an indls-

sovereign, even as despotic as the Grand Seigni-
or, must stand upon firm footing, to carry in
to complete effect such a project as this. The
state Of things at Sonstantlnople, aud in other

pire is vastly extended, and extremely weak
rhe Sultan could never have gone on with his
Grecian war, if il had not been for the assist
ance he has received from Egypt. If the Vice
roy of Egypt were to recall his forces from the
Morea, and setup the standard Of independence,
the Ottoman power could not reduce him to
obedience If the Barbary powers, jointly or
severally, should come to an understanding ar
mong themselves, to- emanclpate their provin-
ces from Ottoman thraldom, the latter power
could not prevent them The truth is, the pow

vinces If his empire is but little more than no.
minal: and unless some extraordinary event
should rouse the energies of the Porte, and in
fuse new vigor into their political system, that
empire will, before many years, fall to pieces by
its own weakness. That vigor may possibly be
derived from The present crisis. If the Sulan
Carries his measures into full effect, and adopts
a new military and political system, Turkey
may again become a strong and troublesome
power The attempt now making to reform
the affairs Of Turkey, would have been consi-
dere6 desperate, had il been mentioned to any
intelligent Judge of human affairs. The Grand
Seignior has staked his crown and his life on
the result, and short time will then snow how
far his plan was iudicious, and how thorough
ly he has been able TO execute it

. The Fayetteville, On CO Observer Of the
9th of September, states, that old corn is sell
ling for 70 cents and new for SO cents the bush
ell; which is certainly "quite reasonable price
when it is recollected that il sold for 81 IS
four weeks ago" We hope, indeed, the fear
Of famine in one quarter OF North Carolina
has exaggerated the scarcity OF the crop; and
that the good people of that state may be saved
from distress. without the necessity of emigra-
ting to the western country
The Editor of the Observer also speaks of
having seen stalk Of the sugar cane brought
from Tallahassee where it grew. It's length,
exclusive of blades, is feet; and it is about an
inch and half in diameter. 1t was cut on the
lst September, when it had nearly attained It's
full growth The gentleman who brought in
the stalk states, that several farmers have as
much as 90 acres of land in the sugar cane, and
many others from. 5 TO 10 acres. He has also
brought in specimen of cotton, Of the black
seed kind a species of Sea Island) which COM
monty grows on the Florida lands, very fine, and
worth twice or thrice as much as the Uplands
With these products, Florida may cope with
any of the states in the value Of her productions
We have no doubt from alithat we have heard,
that the cane will thrive on her lands; and OF
all the product lions OF the land Except some OF
the spices OF the East India Islands it is the
most profitable. The sugar planters in Louisi-
ana, clear. more on their farms, in proportion 10
their size, than any others in the United States:
And if it should succeed to any extent in
Florida, it will be mine of wealth to her, SUI
perior TO the silver mines OF Mexico or the gold
mines Of Peru. 1t has been suggested, tina,
such lands secured by good titles furnish fine
field of speculation % the enterprizing capital

ing such funds as he may design for the bene-
fit of his children.
