IRIsH HABITS. The London Morning
Chronicle has the following anecdote, which
is at once melancholy and laughable AN
intelligent gentleman, accompanying a
medical friend in his rounds through South
wark, he entered one of those wretched
abodes in which the Irish crowd together.
The man had received an injury, and was
unable to work. Two children were
sprawling about, and two large pigs were
also inmates of the apartment. "Why do
you not sell the pigs to assist you ?" was a
question put to the wife. Och, SIR the
pigs belong to the landlord we get the
room at less rent, for taking in the pigs as
dodgers

*The appearance of our squadron in the Arch
ipelago impressed upon the people high idea
of our navy. The Greeks speak in raptures Of
the North Carolina. Some old Hydriote sal
lors, speaking of her, said, "we never knew
what ship was, before we went on board of
her, and we have seen the ships of every ma
ton in the world" Whatever may have been
the policy of the government, in sending 50
large a force up the Mediterranean, it has had
at least the effect to heighten the reputation of
our country in Europe | see much of the ma
val officers of all nations, and can say that
where our officers are best known, they are
most esteemed l remember, tho other day,
to have heard some British officers say, Well /!
to tell the truth and shame the devil, see
nothing in the Yankee ships or men, inferior
to ours. Then they are really gentlemen
strange as it may appear, if had not known
them to be Jonathans, should have taken
them for John Bulls !"

1t is stated in the Providence Journal that
the house of Mr. DINGHY, in Dartmouth, was
burned on the 9th ult. and in it an aged man
of the name of Beeden There is reason to
suppose the house was set on fire by incendia.

Coletti.-from which had hoped some
thing, for he is decidedly man of talent,
and his plan was good one but he was
miserably supplied with funds, and too
crippled in means, to enable general to
execute a design with secrecy and des-
patch.
The regular troops, now diminished to a
small number, are at Methina entirely de-
prived of the means of supporting this
body, Government would have been oblig-
ed to abandon it, had it not been for French
philanthropy their committee having plac-
ed at the disposal of Col. Favier, thirty
thousand francs per month. The conduct
of the French people towards Greece has
been really noble and generous neither
have the Germans nor Swiss been behind.
The safety of the country now, as in the
days of Themistocles, lies in her wooden
walls. Mistress of the sea, she is secure
upon the continent. This leads me to
mention the arrival of the frigate built in
America, and which has diffused Joy among
the Greeks. learn that Miaulis has gone
on board and taken her to Egina, where
the National Assembly is now sitting.
How she will be disposed of, | know not
yet the general wish is, that she may be
commanded and manned by Americans
but this seems hardly probable. Govern
ment have received letters from Cochrane,
dated Marseilles, where he is making ar
engagements with the European committees,
for the purchase of large corvette of
thirty-two guns, built for the Pasha Of
Egypt, but which he has not the means of
paying for. Lord Cochrane's Expedition
| is the sheet anchor of Greece, and hope
brightens now into certainty. Something
will be done in the Spring the Greeks
have already two of the most powerful
vessels that swim, in their service; speak
of this one, and the sixty-four gun ship.
More will probably arrive this winter; and
if they have been able, with their little
fleet of merchant briggs, to meet with the
Turkish line of battle ships, what may not
be hoped from an equal forcc.-Give US the
sea, and Turkey may pour in upon us as
many hordes as ever did Persia, and
Greece will be as little harmed by them.
In my next hope to give you an account
of the operations of the National Assem-
bly,, which have just been convened at
Egina.
! Meanwhile, | remain yours sincerely,

GroRer TAYLOR. The hast volume of
the Biography of the Slgners to the Decia-
ration Of Independence, contains notices OF
nine Of the patriots who rendered their
names immortal by afixing them to the
chart of American Liberty. OF these, the
early life of George Taylor is the most re-
,narkable. With but an Indifferent educa-
zion, he emigrated from Ireland, arrived in
this country without sixpence in his pock-
ct and bound himself to an owner of lion
works who advanced his passage fees
Taylor was Immediately set to work as
fler" From the blisters on his hands, 1t
was soon discovered that he was unused to
such labor, when his employer kindly trans
ferred him from the shovel to the pen; and
in capacity of clerk, Taylor soon made
himself an important member of the estab-
lishment His employer dying, he marri
ed the widow and became proprietor of the
whole concern. Having amassed a fortune
by prudent management and great indus
try, he WINS called into public life ; and
from the provincial assembly of Pennsylva
mia, he was advanced to a seat in the Con-
gress of '76.--BostOn Patriot.
SPANISH PIETY. In Spain plays are per-

General Gascoyne brought forward his mo-
ton for an inquiry into the state Of the British
Shipping and spoke against the Free Trade
system introduced by Mr. Huskisson.
The subject of Catholic claims was brought
forward in The House OF Commons on the same
day; and that, with General Gascoyne's motion,
excited much warmth, and brought forth the
talents Of both ministers and the opposition.
In the House Of Lords on the 9TH of May,the
Earl of Mansfield intimated his intention Of
submitting motion on the subject Of Catholic
emancipation on the 9TH Of June, for which day
he moved their Lordships be summoned.

question, we did it because we would not con-
sent to be lulled into silence until decision is
made. If we are to be bound by the determin-
alton of any particular body of men, we GER
tainly consider it republican to express our
opinion and record our vote, and it will be time
enough to yield when we are found in the mi
nority. A great question is agitating the u
MON. The republicans of this state are to be
deeply affected by it. 1t is question how
this party are to act. How shall we know
what the people demand to be done, unless by
expression Of these opinions from different
quarters? Such opinion in this section Of the
country we have endeavoured to collect in
expressing our sentiments we have been only
following, instead of leading, the opinions Of
republicans around US.
The editor then goes on to state that the op-
posersof the administration advocate measures
contrary in his opinion to the interests of the
country. He places them in bold relief and
then concludes as follows:
Of that opposition Gen Jackson is confessed
ly the head. His supporters are from its ranks.
His cabinet and advisers, if he be successful,
will be from their number. and it requires no
prophet to tell what the policy of his measures
will b. Looking at the subject in this light,
our friends say that it is not advisable to sup
port Gen. Jackson. 1t is an opinion thrown out
for the consideration of others interested in the
question. 1t will have weight or not according
to the point Of view in which the subject is pla-
ced
We have no doubt the opinions of all these
respectable republican, papers, will be received
with candnur and treated with respect by their
fellow citizens in this district, 1t must be obsi.
Gus to our readers that degree Of unanimity
prevails in favour of tie administration,
which we were scarcely prepared to meet.
This question however is generally considered
of secondary importance. The preservation
of the present union and harmony in the repub-
lican ranks, and the restoration Of those few
who may yet be estrAnged, ought to be ourlead
ing policy accomplishment Of this pur-
pose will give New York her just ascendancy
in the Union-that ascendancy to which she
has always been justly entitled, and which we
have no doubt she will ultimately attain.

THE MEETING.

The proceedings Of which are given in our
paper of this day, was the most numerous poll
tic al meeting that has ever, SO far as our recol
lection extends, been held in this county. The

tivalors Of the SOIL in short, what may truly and
emphatcally be called the PEOPLE-cane
forth in their slrength-and at an early hour
the Court House was filed 10 overAowing-and
we are credibly Informed that very many were
compelled 10 retire from inability 10 find an en-
tering place.
The number of citizens assembled. cou Id not
be less than between three and FOUR HUN
DRED-some suppose that the number was
much greater. The Address was offered by
Gen Soksiy, who supported itby an argumeu
tative and eloquent spcech-he was succeeded
by the hon Jo4" c. tFr,gh. Both the speakers
sustained the principles set forth in the adj
dress, the "American System" and the general
course of the Administration of the general go,
vernment, with a strength and vigor that can
not soon be forgotten by any member Of the
meeting, and which must have carried convic-
ton TO the minds Of those, )if any who remained
unconvinced and who were open to conviction.
This meeting is presage of the most pro.
pitious results-and it proves to our satistac'
ton, that, if some of our Democratic repubi,
can brethren are get to be found in the Opposi-
ton, what may properly be called the Democra-
cyof,he County remains firm and unbroken. The
old Democratic motto, principles andnot men,
