The Boston Traveller informs US that the &C.
LIBERATED ruin in Athens, SO often spoken of by
travellers, and praised for its architectural
BEAUTIES, "the Lanthorn Of Demosthenes,"
of The convent in which part of i, was imnur,
ed, in 1921, has lately received some repairs
from the care of the French Vice Consul and
expresses wish that this monument, "partly
raised TO commemorate a triumph of which
poetry was the ba,is-within which, it is said,
the immortal hard, Byron, conceived some of
his happest effus ons-may ye, remain tro-
ply for the admit alton Of poets and heroes-of
future Greece, regererated from her ruins"
An r, member :he Indignant terms in which
Byron speaks OF Lord Elsn's proclamation of
the runs Of Greece. We cannot help thinking
how richly he would have repaid, had he been
alive, the generous conduct OF the Frenchman.
The splendid monuments of Grecian grandeur
aud power, though now painful contrasts to
Grecian misery and wrerchedness, should be
lift incentives to valor and virtue. Greece
is full Of subjects, on which the mind can rest
with melancholy pleasure, and the feelings be
elevated Tar above their natural level Her ve-
ry soli,udes silent and tenantless, carry lhou-
sand intensely interesting recollections to the
neart. 81 assembled hill" says Cheautabri-
and, in his visit 10 Lacedcmon, "not a vestige
of human hab,,ation was 10 be secn-I shouted
with all my might LeonIdas. Leonidas! no e.
clio repeated his great mainland Sparta her.
self seemed to have forgotten her hero" We
never r, al this passage, bu, imagination cons
lures up the "departed spirits Of the mighty
dsad;" and the picture of desola,ion appears
drawn in more vivid colors than ever. But
how must the feelings be increased at the sight
Of the crumbtng columns and arches, beautiful
in ruins and magnificent in decay! With what
emotions must the traveller view those "porti>
Goes which have wi hstood the assaults OF lime
more than two thousand years, and those scup>
tured 6ortais, through whose frownins arches
the wind passes with hollow murmuring, all
giving a mournful idea of pristine grandeur"
1t seems impossible that country containing
these memorials Of genius and power, haliowed
by the hand Of time, should ever be a land
Vt slavery and degradation. Greece has lost
her Miltiades and her Epaminondas-bu her
RUINS yet exist.

The New York Courier, in an interesting
description Of Constantinople, says that it bears
a striking resemblance to New.York. On one
side is the sea of Marmora, which may be COM
pared to the Bay Of New-York, while on the
other the long Porte washes its quays,s s our
East river laves those of New York. Both
cities spread from point and grow wider to-
wards The inland; the garden walks Of the Sc
raglio may be compared to those Of our Balte-
ry, and the watch-tower of the Bos2horus Gate
to Castle Garden. Both have fourteen dis
tricts or wards, and it is a pleasing, coinci-
dence that the first, second, aud third wards OF
each are similarly situated.

on that side of the question" for no such agree
ment was made, and no such intention express
ed.
There was no " notice given, that no one
would be heard, excepting those who accorded
IN opinion, with the moving spirits of the meet
ing" but on the contrary public invitation
was given to those, who thought differently to
express their sentiments. 1t is not true that
"our young men are constantly leaving town,
and finding employment in factories" and be-
cause hey find full employment, and high
wages" for but small number have ever left
the town for any such purpose but if it were
so, 1t would show most clearly that woollen
manufactures are not SO depressed as has been
represented, for if they are, how can manufac-
tuners ply higher wages than can be obtained
at any Cther employment 1t is a falsehood,
that two of the gentlemen at the meeting, have
each son. who are directly engaged in facto-

The representation that " c. c." has given
of the Arguments and ideas expressed at the

and farmer of an increase of duties on imported
wooliens and the ignorance he has represented
the individuals Of the meeting possessed of, is
not only misrepresentation, but one of the
greatest outrages on truth that have ever met

IN Importance, we see not why, in proportion to
the density of our population and the number
OF that class who are expected to avail them
selves of its advantages, it may not be equally
useful. 1t is an experiment, which, however
Limited its effects, can produce none but
good. The Treasurer of the Boston Institution
estimates the number of those, who have prop

EARTHQUAKE AT BoGoTA. In the Chris

at Bogota, from which we extract the fol-
lowing -
He says, "about six o'clock in the eve
ming, stepped out, and suddenly expert
enced a singular sensation, and Judging
that either my head was swimming, or the
ground was moving, in order to determine,
cast my eye to the corner of the house,
and soon perceived that destruction was
upon U.S. and as the only chance of escap-
ing from the falling stones and tiles, ran
with all expedition to the great square. BY
this time the first shock was over, and /
stood still, waiting the next. 1t came on
long and heavy, and then came scene
beggaring discription,-as it were every
individual in the city crying and shouting
to the Virgin for mercy the rolling Of ten
thousand thunders beneath us, the roofs of
houses falling in, their sides falling out,
stones and tiles falling in every direction
and as ifto crown the whole and make a
more horrible uproar, while all were wait
ing, as if to be swallowed up, the steeple of
the cathedral that had seemed to tower
above the clouds. came with tremendous
crash to the ground. The shock went off
with quick tremulous motion. A number
aflives we're lost"

HARVARD UNIVERSITY. The attention of the
President and Fellows of this institution has
been recently directed, in special manner, to
the reduction of its expenses for the purpose of
furnishing greater facilities to those who are
DESTROYS of availing themselves of the ample
means of instruction which it affords Four of
the University Professorships have been abol-
ished, and the duties assigned to other Profess
sors without an increase of the salaries of those
on whom they devolve. The salaries of other
Professors have been reduced, and temporary
grants discontinued. The Treasurer has de-
clined receiving any thing for his services.
Various other retrenchments in its expenditures
have been effected, which, together with a iu-
dicious restriction upon those of the student, to
be regulated by the parents and guardians are
calculated to produce very beneficial results in
extending the usefulness of this ancient insti-
tuition.
