FOREIGN News 1t now appears settled, that
Russia engages in the war with Turkey alone,
but with the full knowledge and consent of her
allies In the mean time, France and Eng
land, without assuming the character of bel
llgerents, will take such measures as may be
necessary to carry into effect the treaty of in
PREVENTION for the pacifcation of Greece. The
Russian troops would cross the Pruth, and, af-
ter occupying the Principalities of Moldavia
and Wallachia, advance upon the Turkish prov
inces as soon as the state of the season would
allow. We may, therefore, shortly expect news
ofimportance from the theatre of the war.

DANIEL WEBSTER The vote of Mr.. Web
ster on the tariff bill has brought down upon
him no small share of abuse from those, who,
honestly, we have no doubt, believe the bill
fraught with ruinous consequences to the COM
mercial interest. He is spoken of as peculiarly
the representative of that interest, and is charg-
ed with inconsistency and violation of faith in
abandoning it. 1t is admitted, that, through
the whole progress of the bill, he contended,
stedfastly and earnestly, against the provisions
which are calculated to bear unfavorably on
the commerce of the country. Yet, because
he voted for the bill, he is said to have forgot
ten commerce, an interest of vital importance.
We regret that such course should be pursu-
ed, because, the evident object of it, is, to OK
cite the preiudices of those who do not examine
and Judge Cor themselves. On the question of
the final passage of the bill, when made as per-
feet as the various conflicting interests would
allow, the only point to be decided, was, wheth-
or the bill, as a whole, would be advantageous
to the country, and whether the good to be Sc.
cured was obtained without any unreasonable
sacrifice. In deciding in the affirmative, nc
man, who knoaoS Mr.. Webster, will doubt that
the vote he gave expressed the honest convic-
tons of his mind. Indeed, as much is admitted
when, in order to inculpate him, it is assumed
that he was pledged particularly to the COM
morcial interest Had he been bound to pro.
tect that interest, without reference to any
other, then he might have voted differently
but, as a statesman, bound to seek the greatest
good of the whole, it was his duty to disregard
minor considerations, even where they con.
flicted with a fayorite interest.
After all, the bill is, in some degree, a matte,
of experiment, and the good or evil which is to
flow from it, remains to be ascertained In
tho mean time, we would rely more on the
opinion of Daniel Webster as to its probable
effects, than, on that of those, who so unspar.
ingly abuse him. A portion of the commercial
community have become too much excited to
judge dispassonately; and, we trust, they will
yet find, that the evils anticipated have beer
greatly magnifed by their heated imaginatons

W.ATSONS CELEBRATED HORSE,
HIGHLANDER,
GEN. LA FAYETTE's FAvoRITE,

IL 3 %a4ss:'s, , stable ,aS Is, i, i
main through the season, which will end on the
18th July next. The HIGHLANDER is of the
English and Arabian breed of horses of fine
temper; nine years old the 10th of June fifteen
hands, three inches high; of beautiful dapple
grey walks and trots remarkably fast is a
lofty and powerful horse and exhibits as much
muscular strength, elegant movement, and per-
feet symmetry ofform, as any horse in this coun-
try. He has proved himself sure and first
rate foal getter. The colts sired by him possess
large share of bone and muscle. Great num-
bers of them are to be seen in Connecticut,
which have given universal satisfaction, and for
beauty, size, and activity, stand unrivalled.
Two of his years old colts took the two first
premiums at the Cattle Show at Hartford in
October, 1924, and have since been sold for
more than $6O0-two other 2 years old mare
colts of his sireing have been sold for more
than $400-two others took the two first pre-
miums at Hartford, in l925-also, four in 1896,
at Hartford and CRANKY and five others at
Hartford and Windsor Cattle Shows, in Octo-
Der, 1927. The coils sired by the Highlander,
never have had the premiums taken from thsna
whenever they have been presented at the Cat
tie Shows. The premium of a Silver Cup was
awarded to the Highlander by the Hartford
County Agricultural Society. Also, first pre-
MUM by the Hampshire, Hampden, and Frank
lin Counties Agricultural Society, in 1923.
PEDIGREE. Highlander was sired by the
celebrated horse Highlander, which was tho
son of Sample, (the best blood in England)
which was got by the Arabian horse Vernon
Arabian. Highlander's dam was one of the first
blood mares, of dapple grey, sired by the horse
Gunpowder, owned by benjamin. Perkins, Esq,
and bred by the Rev. DR.. Perkins, of West
Hartford, from his full blood English mare,
which was bought in Virginia by the Hon.
jeremiah Wadsworth for $500. This mare was
sired by the famous imported horse Eclipse,
kept by MIR. cambridge, of Trenton, New Jer-
sey, from an imported mare. Eclipse was sired
| BY Eclipse, the most celebrated horse in Eng
land, which never was known to have been beat
in running, and covered at 80 guineas mare
and one guinea to the groom. Many Of the most
famous running horses in England and Ameri-
ca are descendants from this horse. Gunpow-
der was sired by Capt. Samuel Whitman's
horse, Obscurity, which was sired by old OBJ
security, imported into Baltimore by Benjamin
Crockett his dam was imported by the Hon.
Charles Carol, and got by Selim; his grand
dam, by Careless; his great grand dam, BY
Cullin Arabian
Terms--$6 the leap, SO the season, $l2 to

EsGLIsH CANALS. The following table, ex-
hibiting list of the principal Canals in Eng
land, with their original and present value,
and their productiveness, will be found very
interesting. 1t will be seen that they are all
considerably above par, and that, in one Of
them, the Loughborough, share is worth as
much as the original cost of forty shares We
see no reason why similar results should not
follow from well planned and judiciously con.
Quoted works of the same character in this
country. The population, here, is becoming
nearly as dense as in England, and its progress
will be still more accelerated by putting such
works into operation. The Blackstone Canal
which is fast drawing towards completion, will
we believe, when in full operation, be the aven-
ne of business, which, in amount, will sur.
prize even the most sanguine of its projectors.

SOUTHERN MAIL. The new arrangement,
by which the southern mail, which has hereto.
fore been opened in Boston in the morning. is
accelerated SO as to DO received and opened on
the evening preceding, is strongly objected to
by some of the Boston editors, and wish is
expressed, that the old arrangement may be re.
turned to. Now, as the intermediate places,
between Boston and New York, are satisfied
with getting their letters and papers in the
shortest possible time, we would propose plan
for the accommodation of all parties. Let the
mail continue to be brought as at present, but
direct the Post Master in Boston, instead of
opening it when received, to let it lie, untouch-
ed, till the next day, and then open it and de-
liver the letters as heretofore. In this mode,
they would have the benefit of the old arrange
ment which suits them, and we, of the new
one, which we prefer. Should this suggestion

GENERAL COURT. The Legislature of this
Commonwealth convene at Boston this day
The number of representatives, elected, will ex-
coed those of the last year by about 80 or 40
In the Senate, there are five vacancies to be
filed. New presiding officers of both branches
will have to be chosen, as neither of those OF
the last year, has been returned to the same
branch the present year. On whom the lot
will fall, it is perhaps idle now to speculate, as
the event will so soon be determined. There is
a good portion of talent in both houses, in each
of which, there are several, who, if called to fill
their respective chairs, would compare favora-
bly, with those who have preceded them. We
are not aware of any important public business
which will make protracted session necessary.
Little, except the organization of the govern
ment, will be likely to be done before the win
ter session, unless the subject of a Railway
to Hudson's river should be brought forward.
We have not understood whether it is intended
to push it at this session or not.
We shall probably be able TO lay the Govern
or's Message before our readers next week.

AID TO THE GREEKS. The sympathy which
has been manifested toward this deeply suffer
ing people, in many parts of the country, is hon
orable to US, as moral and christian people.
Could the distress which pervades that once
beautiful, but now desolate, country, be gener-
ally known and realized, we feel persuaded that
one great and simultaneous effort would be
contributions from here and there town, they
would pour forth from every portion of our
country, with all that cheerfulness and good
will, which renders gift, blessing to the Civ
by every one, that a trifing, donation may be
the means of saving the life of fellow-being
| and fellow-christian, and that the aggregate
of the donations we might make, almost with
out feeling it, would relieve vast amount o.
suffering, and cause thousands of hearts to LEAP
with joy, which are now borne down almost tc
the grave, under the manifold Affections tc
which they are subjected.
| In relation to this subject, we copy the fol
lowing paragraph from the Boston Patriot.
! We understand from Mr.. Miller, who has JUS
returned from Greece, that for year to come
there must be much suffering and distress among
the houseless population, and many deaths from
actual starvation, unless unexpected supplies
should be received from continental Europe
This distress and suffering may be essentially
mitigated, and the number of dreadful deaths
! lessened, by the donations from the United
States; and this surely is sufficient to stimulat,
the benevolent to renewed exertions in behalf o
the naked and hungry widows and children o
devastated Greece. Should another relief YES
sci be freighted from this port, it is confidentl
hoped and believed, that our townsman, DIR
Howe, may 0e prevailed to return to thu
scene of his arduous and useful labors, to su
perintend the distribution of the cargo. d,
Howe's engagements are now such as reduir
him to remain at home for few weeks bui
should the collections made in the mean tim
warrant the committee in sending out anothe
vessel, little doubt is entertained that he woul
again visit Greece and dispense the charities q
his fellow countrymen, in such manner as bes
to answer the purposes of the donors. Mr.. Mi
Ter, it is understood, will not return to Greco
at present.

MoLAssEs. The Eastern Argus, leading
Jackson paper published at Portland, complains
bitterly of the increased duty laid on molasses
by the new tariff bill. 1t says that the molasses
trade is the only medium through which the
lumber business from that State to the West
dies can be carried on to any advantage, as the
lumber does not afford living profit, unless a
return cargo can be procured, which will pay
the expenses of that part of the voyage Here
tofore, this has been effected by means of mo-
lasses, which, under the existing duty, would
barely pay freight, and which, the Argus antici-
pates, under the new act, cannot be imported
without loss. Whatever may be the opera
ton of the act in this respect, the Editors of
the Argus, may thank their Jackson friends,
exclusively, for it. 1t is a fact well understood,
that the object of that party, as party, was to
defeat the passage Of any tariff, and for this pur
pose, the high duties on molasses and coarse
wool, were incorporated into the bill, reported
by the Committee ON Manufactures The Jack
son men of New York and Pennsylvania dared
not risk their popularity by direct opposition
10 the system, so 1t was arranged, between them
and the southern members, that these duties
should be inserted, in the full belief, that it
would make the bill so odious, as to induce the
Administration party to vote against it, and
thus throw the odium of defeating the bill upon
them. Through every stage of the proceed
ings, the Jackson men voted steadily together,
against striking out these two provisions, and
most of the Administration men in favor of it.
There were no good reasons for increasing the
duty on either of these articles The culture
of sugar and molasses is now in Furnishing
state and needed no further protection while
that of coarse wool, such as carpets and negro
cloths are made from, has never been introduce
ed, nor is it desirable that it should be.
