the temple of Concord-that temple IN
which Cicero convened the Senate, for the
suppression of the conspiracy of Catalina.
At the base of the Capitoline Hill, and
across the street which yet ascends to the
summit. rises-the splendid triumphal arch
of the Emperor Septimius Severus. Itwas
erected at the beginning of the third cen

Within few feet of the arch stands
solitary column, erected at still later pc
Rod, in honor of the Emperor Phocas, and
was once surmounted by his statue IN
bronze.
On the other side of the Forum, under
the brow of the Palatine, are the sad re-
mains of the temple of Jupiter Stator,
erected upon the spot, where old Romulus
rallied his legions against his Sabine IN

list was observed seated like Marius a.
midst ruins, sketching the picturesque frag-
ments of the fame.
All these relics of buried splendor, and
hundreds of others of less note over
which the visitant stumbles at every step,
are within heiprecincts of the ancient Fo-
rum, which was about eight hundred feet
in length, and FIVE hundred in width.

LATEST FROM SMYRNA.

The editors of the New York Daily Ad-
.vertlser have received Smyrna papers to
Jan. 18th. Their contents are interesting,
as they confirm several important facts,
highly favorable to the Greeks; and as
usual in such case, furnish evidence that
that paper does sometimes assist, however
unwiilingly, in the dissemination of truth.
In beginning with the latest paper, we
Ind that the dissentions at Hydra have
been completely terminated, through the
influence of Conduriotti and that Coloco-
troni is on perfectly good terms with him.
Some of the arrangements for a combined
attack on Athens, for the relief of Fabvier
and the citadel, are confirmed. 10000
francs had arrived from the Paris commit
tee, which had long been expected.
A report was spread at Smyrna, on the
9TH of Dec. that Capt. Hastings steam
boat which had been on her passage from
syria, was to join the Hydriot squadron at
Samos to make an attack on the Turkish
port of Scala Nova, near Smyrna The
editor sometimes affects to speak contemp-
ttlously of the Greek navy but he gives
this report with some trepidation.
The Greeks still hold the fortress of
Grabousi in Gambia, which the Spectator
complains of as afording great facilities
to predatory vessels.

Messrs. Gale & Seaton: In the Intelli-
gencer of this morning, read an account
; OF the loss of number of sheep about Wa
terville, in the State of New York, which
as stated, was occasioned by the grub worm
making its Judgement above the eve of the
sheep; and that no means as yet has been
discovered for its destruction.
Sheep being esteemed a valuable stock.
and the growers of wool a valuable class Of
citizens, disease so destructive to that
useful animal is worthy notice; and as |
deem it a duty incumbent on every citizen
to furnish such information, when in his
possession, as may conduce to the nublic
good, for the benefit of those Interested I
will state what know to be fact. The
OIL Of amber, which may be had at most d
the apothecary shops, will instantly dis
iodge al worms, maggots, &c. 1t may be

These favorable circumstances, says a

TRIANGULAR BELLS. During the past year
we have seen repeated notices in the papers of
a new-invented triangular steel bell, which was
said to be equal in goodness, while the expense
was not more than one third as great as that Of
common bells. The experiments which have
been made, however, do not seem to justify
the recommendations. The Fall Riuer Mont
tor of the 2lst inst. says, "The triangular
steel bell which was mentioned in the Monitor
of the 24th ult. as being suspended in the bel
frey of the Congregational meeting house has
since been taken down, and we are glad to
state, it has been returned to its original pro.
prietor and inventor
Another has been procured and placed on
the Stats House in Hartford, on which the
Connecticut Mirror of the Odd thus remarks
"This steel triangle has one advantage, for itB
tone is unlike that of any other composition
purporting to be bell that we ever heard.
How far the noise will reach we are not informed,
but in mercy to our more distant neighbors it
is hoped that the fuxions of its sounds may
have but limited periphery. 1t would do
very well to scare rats out of house, or to
settle a swarm Of bees, and as such, may have
been chosen to frighten such vermin as infest
the State House o'nights" in the second and
third week of the session of the Legislature,
or it may drown the queen bee of the CAUCUS
But to be in earnest, it is poor apology for
bell, and the gentlemen who procured If. must
be satisfied that they we're misinformed in res
gard to its tone and effect.

WELL Done. A Claiborne, (Alab. pa
per of the 23d ult..states that as three wo-
men belonging to Mr.. J. F. Lovett," were
ascending hill on the south side of Big
Creek, in that county, one of them having
a child about two months old in her arms,
they were attacked by large he wild cat.
The animal made at the woman with the
child, caught the child by the leg and bit
1t, tore the woman badly with his claws,
and threw her down. The child having a
handkerchief on its head, the animal, in a
second attempt at the child, tore the hand
kerchief in pieces. The mother of the
child, made violent effort to save it, and
in the struggle seized the cat by the neck,
fell on it, and held fast her grip until the
other two women despatched him with
stones. The mother of the child was very
much injured by the animal, and the child
was nearly killed. Apprehensions are en-
tertained that the cat labored under the
influence Of hydrophobia.

From the National Journal.

We are sometimes constrained to smile
at the undisgnised efffontery of the shired
editors" of the combination, the palpable
insults which they daily offer to the virtue
and intelligence of the community. They
are equally reluctant to advance an argu-
ment themselves in vindication of the
course they are pursuing, or to reply to
one which has been urged against them
Some unmeaning catch words form their
entire vocabulary, and paltry subterfuges
their only armour. If called on to state
their objections to the President, they sig
nifcantly shrug their shoulders, and reply,
he is the son of his father. When asked
do you not admire his talents, and respect
his integrity ?-their only response is-we
do not like the alien and sedition laws.
When any plan of foreign policy, or of in
ternal Improvement is suggested, it is ar
-gued down, because the President was un-
fortunately born in Massachusetts. Is Mr..
Clay and his character for talents and fear
less independence extolled, we can obtain
no denial, but the unprincipled coalition is
rung in our ears. We advance an argu-
ment, no other reply is given, but that it
proceeds from Boston federalist, or de-
pendant on the Administration. We ask
their reasons for supporting General Jack
son, and our ears are stunned with the 9Th
of January. Is he an accomplished civilian?
we are told, remember New Orleans. Is
he consistent in his principles? the 6th of
January! Is he pure in his moral charaC-
ter? Huzza for New Orleans Is he a
friend of internal improvement? Why, dc
you forget the 9Th of January? Is he for
encouraging the domestic industry of the
nation? What an ungrateful country, to
forgetthe victor of New Orleans. Does he
regard the feelings and the rights of 9TH
ers, and the barriers which the Constitution
has interposed against the encroachments
of violence and ambition? The 9Th OF
January is still the answer.
Now this course cannot and will not
succeed in an intelligent and enlightened
community. 1t may answer for while, to
throw dust in the eyes of those who are
already half blind, but the people of the
United States will not thus be lured ,af

frequently resorted, and, calling for a sup

ed their host that they had laid wager of
such repast as they had ordered, but as
it was not yet decided, they hoped he
would wait for his pay until the decision,
and then charge the amount to the loser.
The landlord assented, and they sat down
to hearty supper. When they had finish

was the nature of the bet and he was not a
