entirely uneonnscied with the papal re-

be made with some exceptions, for from
an examination OF the work of Platon
himself. as we'll as from other sources.

Roman Catholic have crept into the

tire - the Turks, the wild beasts, and the
poor Greeks, their victims. The spec
tators look on, uueoncernad at least II
they are uos amused, and apparently
regardless which way the issue may
turn. Greece appears to have been
made this spectacle of horror, and
Christian nations hags looked on, with
out enc solitary effort TO relieve her
from the grasp Of her barbaroas masters.
II is true, that statement talk of the
laws OF nations, and this most conven-
lent excuse saves the honour of their
country; and SO great a barrier does
this oppose to assistance, that not even
a morsel ofbread can be given by au-
thofity to the starving wives and children
Of those who are bleeding in the cause
OF liberty. The policy of nations APP
pears very much like the etiquette of the
Cambridge student, who, as he walked
along the banks OF tha Cam, and saw a
fellow student drowning, instead of flying
to bis assistance, pronounees the excul-
pating solloquy, "What pity It's that
| had never been introduced to that gen
tleman, tina. might have had the plea.
sure of saving him!!"
The people of our country, however.
seem to feel disposition to render some
assistance TO these poor sufferers, and
extraordinary exertions ara making TO
raise funds, by which vessel may be
despatched with necessary provisions.
How far this plan has been successful
in this city, we cannot say, but we
presume, that the object will be 50 far
patronized as to enable the Commit
tee appointed for that purpose, to send
at least one vessel. We have been sur
prisedto hear that much GOODNESS exists,
on this very point, and that the sub.
scriptions are all comparatively small.
If the condition of the Greeks cannot
excite the sympathy Of the American
people, wa know not who can.

The Greek Chureh.--W have though.
that while SO much is said, and so much
| is dong in reference TO the Greeks, our
Christian readers would be pleased with
some brief view of the tenets of this
Church. AS we have not observed this
in any Of the periodical publications of
the day, we shall occupy small space
in the present and some few succeeding
papers, in remarks on this subject, As
the religion Of the Greek Church is the
established religion Of the Russian En-
pire, our best view OF the subject can,
of course, be gathered from such au.
thentic documents as have been pub
lished in that country. A Summary of
Christian Divinity has been drawn up
by Platon while metropolitan of Mos
cow, and first published in 1865. 1t has
been ably translated from the Slavo-
man BY Pinkerton. We have been
much interested in the perusal OF this
work, and II gives mass of Information
relative to the faith of this Church, which
cannot fail to interest the reader, who
loves to look over the world, as fan as
il is called Christian, and to mark the
approaches to, or the recessions from
the purity of the faith which was once
delivered to the saints.
Until the year $50 of the Christian
era, Russia may be considered as hay-
ing been totally in a state of barbarism,
and its people sunk into the deepest ig-
norance. 1t was in that year, as obser-
we'd by Pinkerton in his preliminary Me-
moir, that the Grand Princess OgIa
having visited Constantinople, and be-
ing honourably received by the then
lreigning Emperor, Constantine vi, was
instructed IN the doctrines Of Chisiianity
and al last baptized. Her grandson,
Yladimir, embraced Christianity IN A
ID. sss; and il was through his instru-
mentality that the people were brought
into the profession ofthis religion. From

VERY LATE FROM MONTEVIDEO

We learn from Capt Hutchins of the brig

rom Rio on the Oath November, for Rio

branch of duty in which they were daily ex-
ercised, viz: the female department. For
example, suppose there were about as ma
ny women as men, which in most countries
and amongst all nations of people there are
about the same. Now if from this moety
we dcduc. for unmarried females, 100000
there will remain 800, 900 married. And as
every woman bearing child, had in few
weeks thereafter, to pay visit to the priest
and make an atonement for the sin which
nature or NATURES God had brought upon
her, she was compelled by law also to take
lamb without blemish, as an atonement it
she was OF ability so to do; if not, two turtle
doves or two young pigeons, to present to
the high priest, for the necessary enquiry he
might make into her state and condition, and
for the benediction he might bestow upon
her.
!. We decline making further investigation
into the causes of all the visits which the law
compelled females to observe yet from no
y writ inferences may be drawn to warrant
one i'll saying that the perquisites arising TO
the priesthood from the female departments
on those accounts amount, in the whole, to
(at least) 2,5oO,ooo pair of turtle doves, or
young pigeons, annually.
