PADDY's RIDE ON THE RAILWAY The Lee
about nine miles from the river, at an elevation
of near 1000 feet above it. A rail road has
been extended from the mines to the river,
along the side of the mountain, down which
the coal is conveyed in cars, which descend by
their own weight The velocity of their de-
scent would be almost Incredible, were it not
for regulating. power, subject to the control
of the conductor of the cars. In addition to
the coal cars, are others for carrying off the
earth and rubbish with which the coal is COW
cred They are so constructed that, when they
have descended near to the foot of the noun
tain, where the railway crosses deep ravine, a
catch on the side Of the rail knocks out pin
and lets the bottom of the car, which is hung
ON hinges, drop and discharge the contents in
to the abyss, fifty or sixty feet below. A short
stime since, three Paddles, fresh from their own
q swate Ireland" visited the place, and, while
che workmen were at dinner, determined on
having ride, They accordingly got into one
Of the dirt cars and let it loose from the fasten-
ing. Not knowing how to regulate the velocity
away they went, Jehu like, at the rate of hall
a mile minute This was fine sport till on
sudden, the bottom dropped and deposited
them, without any material injury, among the
rubbish below, from which they looked up, i.
unspoakable CONSERVATION and dismay, at this
unexpected termination Of their ride.

TURKISH MANIFESTO. 1t is known that ne
gociations have for some time been pending, be-
tween the Ministers of the European powers and
the Turkish government, relative to the affairs
of Greece. A short time prior to the signing
of the treaty between Russia, France, and
England, the Grand Seignior addressed man.
ifesto on the subject to the several ministers of
foreign powers, residing at Constantinople. 1t
is written with ability, and, as it shows de-
termination to admit of no Intervention or me-
diation, it is probable that the allied powers
will carry into effect the objects of the treaty,
by the application of force. The following is
an extract from the manifesto
By force ofarms have conquered Greece,
which | now possess for about four centu-
ries. have treated the Greeks with kind
ness, for | considered them as subjects,
and not as slaves; and whilst they tran
GULLY enjoyed their riches, and both power
and honors IN the empire, with a prefer
ence in the Administration and in Com
merce, they planned the ruin of the empire
they were indolent, cowardly, and not inur-
ed to war, and still they attempted this act
of temerity and audacious enterprise.
God has chastised them. Can | grant
unto these rebels that liberty which you
solicit for them? Are they worthy oft?
Do they deserve to form a nation? Their
actions speak aloud to the universe, which
is an equitable Judge Of their depraved con-
duct, as well ofmy clemency. know how to
make them return to their duty, and to CO.
cree them, without, however, confounding
the lust with the guilty. This scandalous
rebellion would already have been stifed,
but for the subsidies of him, who, whilst he
protested his friendship for me, gave sue
cours to these rebels.
Being seated upon powerful throne,
rank amongst the Sovereigns of Europe.
Have ever meddled with the revolutions
of others? My example ought to have
served as a guidance to others. God pro-
tects nv lust cause, which viii soon be
brought to conclusion without the assis-
lance of.any one. And likewise request
that no one shall give assistance to Others
directly or indirectly My just principles
are unalterable, and my system is unchange-
able. No man in the world can deter
me from my design, and | shall listen to nc
proposition whatever that may be made II
opposition to my object of preserving the
integrity of my empire, and of Furnishing
these rebels in the same manner as other

FOR TN MASSACHUSETTS, spy.

The examination of the young ladies' OF the
Female Classica Seminary, in Brookfeld, was
attended on Thursday, the Goth inst. The i'm
partial manner il which it was conducted, the
promptitude ant correctness of the answers,
and the general appearance of q thorough and
systematic courf Of instruction pursued the
preceding term, were highly creditable to the
young ladies, ami to the instructors. We feel
a perfect confidence in expressing our entire
appreciation OF he performances; and do not
hesitate IN prondlncing them to have been, by
lar, superior to any which we have before wit
messed IN the institution. The compositions of
the young ladies', which were read by the Prin-
cipal, were ofno ordinary character Theneat
and chasie style in which they were written,
the purity of thought, and the dignifed man
ner OF expression, evinced minds of superior
strength and yigOr.
my. We%gre MUCH gratifed with the opportu-
but express 13ii the examination. and cannot
manly coulFe pursued by the instructors since
their connection with the institution; and feel
a disappointment, and deep regret, that circum-
stances, utterly beyond their control, have
compelled them TO resign their situations

Gov. CLINTON. A report is in circulation
that an arrangement has been made between
Van Buren, and Gov. Clinton by which the
latter is to be supported as Vice President ON
the ticket with General jackson. We do not
believe a word of it. We cannot believe he
would suffer himself thus to be made use of, by
his political opponents, for the sole purpose OF
elevating another to the Chief Magistracy, for
which he is, himself, SO much more worthy, and
so much better qualified. We incline to this
opinion the more, from the fact that most of
the papers in New York, friendly to Gov Gin
ton, support the measures of the present admin
istration, and have declared their preference to
Adams before Jackson for the Presidency.

ROBBERY OF AVERY. Since our last notice
of this affair, circumstances have been devel-
oped calculated to do away the impression that
Avery's account of his robbery in Stafford was
an imposition, and to satisfy US Ahat he was ac-
tually robbed, according to the representation
he gave. The reports to the contrary appear
to have been hastily and unadvisedly put forth,
without any justifable cause. He has return
ed to Hartford, and published an address to the
public, accompanied with certificates, from the
best authority, Of the excellence of his moral
character. From these, and from affidavits of
gentlemen of the most respectable character in
Connecticut, it appears, that Z" the money, of
which he was robbed, was all his own, except
ing $3.50, which belonged to his brother-in-
law that he was in good circumstances in a
pecuniary point of view; that he sustains an
unblemished character in his native place
was formerly pastor of the parish where he re-
sides, but was compelled to abandon his paro-
chial duties on account of bleeding at the
lungs that he is in full standing with, and an
exemplary member of, the church that, on
tho evening of his robbery, green wagon with
three men in it was observedby several gentle
men in Stafford, passing through field to a
secluded spot just by where the act was com
mitted, and that no further account can be Civ
en- of it, and no one has been found to tell to
whom it belonged. The stage driver and pas
senger by whom Mr.. A. was liberated, state
that they found him about % PAGES from the
road, in the woods, with his hands closely tied
behind him with small cord, and his body
dashed to sloping tree, about eighteen inches
in diameter, with leather halter, in very
tight manner, SO that it was with much difficult
ty they loosed him that they cut the cord and
left it with the halter on the ground that, af:
if his money was all taken, and went to his
trunk, which was left by the robbers within 6
feet Of the tree to which he was tied, and, find
ing it was all missing, he was much affected
and wept Mr.. A. complained that his hands
were SO bcnumbed that he could not carry his
trunk, upon which the driver put it into the
sulkey, and led the horse to the road. Mr.. A
then got into the stage, and a passenger rode
in the sulSey as far as Vernon, where the driv

We may add, that the opinion, in the vicini

strong in favor Of tho truth Of Avery's state

PERPETUAL MORTON. By an article in anoth-
er column, it will be seen that a person at
Ware Factory Village, undsmayed by the long
list of failures which have preceded him, has
attempted, and, in the opinion Of several dis
tinguished mechanics, has succeeded, in con.
structing a self moving machine, which has
the power, within itself, of perpetuatng motion.
We must be permitted to be incredulous on
the subject. If those, who have expressed a
favorable opinion of the attempt, understand
the principles of mechanical powers and their
practical application, they must have been
strangely deceived The thing is impossible
and this machine will soon follow the multi
tude, that have preceded it, to oblivion Time
will prove the correctness of this opinion
