The GOVERNORS SPEEcH.-We need no
apology for occupying so much space, in this
paper, with the Speech of the Governor to
the Legislature of this State-indeed, we
feel that we should be inexcusable, were we
TO omit it. The importance, to the commu-
nifty. Of the subjects he discusses, will make it
interesting to most OF our readers.
There are those who believe such disqui-
sitions, from the Executive to Legislative
bodies, inappropriate and misplaced. With
such, however, we cannot agree. 1t is of
some consequence that the views of the Gov
ernor, on important questions, which divide
public opinion, should be known and under
s'o'd, and even those, who do not agree with
him in sentiment, must be pleased with the
Independence which does not shrink from any
responsibility, which frank and candid
avowal of his opinions may impose upon him.
An anscdote which we have heard of Gov.
"olcot, of Connecticut, may not be inappro-
pirate in this place. 1t was objected to him

the Legislature were too long. lie replied,

FROM ENGLAND.-The accounts from En-
gland represent the depression of business,
and the consequent distress among the manu-
featuring class ia that country, as almost
beyond any former precedent. This has led
TO riotous proceedings ,.of so serious charac-
ter, that the military have been called uDon
to repress the disorders. Some account os
these proceedings will be found under opr
mail head.
GREECE.-The recent accounts from ,,...
devoted country, are calculated to keep alive
the interest which has been felt for the peo-
pie, who are thus struggling to be released
from their cruel bondage TO the Turks. We
have collected and arranged the accounts,
which have come to hand since our last, in
their proper order, as TO time, and, although
there ale some apparent contradictions, yet,
there can be little doubt that Missolonghi still /
held out, and that another important victory
had been obtained, under its walls, over the
forces of Ibrahim PachG. 1t also appears
that the Greek fleet were about attempting
to throw succours into that place. Thus, the
balance, which has alternately inclined to
either side, still remains suspended in doubt,
and it is as difficult to determine on which
side it will finally settle, as it was, some years
since, at the commencement of the contest
Whether the other powers of Europe will in-
terlere, in any way, except by negotiation, is
uncertain, but, if the Turks should yield to
the wishes of Russia, by graduating Moldavia
and Wallachia, it is probable the Greeks will

and to maintain the contest, single-handed
and alone.
