The city lis filing up with strangers. 1t IS sad
that although the city will be full, the alnusements
are to be less this winter than they were last nose
who are of going out Of place will not pc lavish
and Those who are doubtful will not venture TO make
much display And it is not the habit OF the dlp'o-
matte corps to be very general in their invitations
So that probably there will be more gaming than
visiting carried on until the season closes
!. never saw a MN who had improved more than
Mr.. Adams has since last September. really think
that he is, on the whole, happy to be released
from his unp pheasant situation. He will not, i Is
said, hasten out of the city when his duties as Pre-

then visit the Nor,h-and 50 pass his winter u

BosroN GAzETTE.-We asserted in a for
mer paper, that the editors of the Boston Cou-
rier were more particular in giving accounts OF
the Foreign Markets, by arrivals at that port
than the other publications Of that city. We
did not intend at that time that our remarks
should apply to the Boston Gazette more than
any other paper of that city, but the editors oI
the Patriot in this town, had been directed TO
put that construction upon our language, and
have accordingly laid it at our charge, in an
article in their paper. AS VIC have a great and
growing disposition to please Messrs Jones 8
Simons, and also the young fop who conducts
the Boston Gazette, we will now say and do
with truth and Justice, that the Boston Com.
mercial Gazette will bear no comparison what
ever with the Courier, rs Il correct business pa
per, and we believe that one fact which we
will mention, will settle the question, viz. that
ten copies of the Courier are taken in this town
and vicinity, where one Of the Gazette is sub
scrbed for, by the business people. The Re
view of the Market, published every Monday
in the Courier, is very valuable, and the indus
try displayed By Mr. White, who superintends
that department Of the paper, is highly credi-
table to that gentoman and is of the greatest
benefit TO the editors of The Courier
We do not make these remarks out of any
pariialty which we feel for the editors of the
Couricr-our personal acquaintance with the
gentleman is slight, but We arc admirers OF
their paper, as commercial paper, and the
firm stand which they have taken in defence OF
Mr. Webster, Mr.. Burgess, and t he Tariff ,entitle
them to the support of the friends of Domestic
Industry

GRowTH OF INTEMPERANcE.-We have
seen an article under the head Of a" Corned
Beef" which says that a yoke of oxen be-
came intoxicated the other afternoon, in the
city Of New York, from eating waste rum
cherries, and went staggering through the
streets. though it is not stated whether they
we're guilty of any riotous acts or misbehavior
so as to require the nterposition Of Mr.. Consta-
BILE Hays. 1t was to'bo expected that Major
Noah would make mention Of such shameless
and indecorous conduct, in retaliation for the
very severe coW skinning (some say je,o-skin-
ning) which he recently received from Mr..
Roberts, having as we are told since that ca
tasirophe, conceived strong apathy towards
all horned cattle, and utterly refuses TO eat
beef as we'll as pork.

de clined obeying the order. This Capt
Gre ighlon, we well reco olect, happened to be
q; Concord on the fourth Of July 1924, when
there was q celebration in which all parties
united. He was waited upon and invited to
honor our celebration as guest; but declined
the invitation, saying he was" n mere servant

In answer to the charge or declining the in
vitation TO attend celebration at Concord, on

say that on The 1th Of July Of that gear, Cap
tain Creighton gare a public dinner on board

We understand that q Meeting

, sraANoE.-W understand that Meeting
House in Monville, was struck by Lightning on
Saturday weok-the hld entering The roof and
passing down, demo ysLed the pulpit and 9TH
wise damaged the building.
This 10 certainly an unaccountablo occur
| renee. The Investigator must be cited to ex-
plain this matter, since the accidents which
have befallen Theatres by The carelcssnoss OF
ry, are all laid at the door Of the unhalIowed
object, for which they were erected. "We say
the Pulpit" itself has been demolished, not
with fire purposely sot by the hands of midnight
providers, who, actuated with moral sentiments
and shocked at the sight Of the unholy scenes
which are supposed to be acted within it, deem
j, proper to apply torch but by the "war of
elements the hand Of Him who grasps
ten thousand thunders and rides upon the
storm.
Now we certainly have a reverence for the
pulpit, switch bids US we'll beware, with what
intent we touch that holy thing" But we be-
leve that the lightning as well as the rain, may
fall alike upon the just and tho unjust. II some
times happens that theatre and lottery Of
flee are destroyed by unforeseen accident. The
cry is then that the especial mterposition of
Pr0pidence, has admonished man Of the sin
of the support of such immoral establishments,
and tho chorus is, ga miracle a miracie!"
But we will await the apology Of the Inves-
tgator for this unceremonious assault, made by

WAR IN THE EAST. The invasion Of the
bout 10 present TO the eyes Of the world tho
most frighful scenes of carnage, butchery and
D!oodshed, which have ever been witnessed on
the grand scale Of destroying human life and
introducing misery since the fall Of Napoleon.
The work Of death has no doub: begun. Be-
fore this, probably more have been swept from
existence than were engaged on both sides in
our last war with Great Britain.
The object Of Russia is decidedly TO demol-

Il while the result of the first onset, 10 deter

seems pregnan: with important consequences.
| Should Turkey find herself able to repel her
invaders, the freedom of Greece, will probably
DO lost forever. On the other hand, should
Russia succeed in her enterprise, we have no
assurance that she will permit Greece to ENJOY
her independence, and the balance of power
on the eastern continent will be lost , while the
rest Of the nations will be exposed TO fall by the
hands of the conqueror. Never. perhaps, was
the world more Interested in the determine ion
OF any question, than at present, and yet it is
difficult to decide which way we would have

of events.

though the Musselmen may mike desperate

CAPTAIN CREIGHTON AND ISAAC Hill

CAPTAIN CREIGHTON AND ISAAC HILL.
The editor Of the New Hampshire Patriot,
ISAAC liILL, delivered an Grafton, or some
thing that the Jacksonites called an Grafton
at Portsmouth, N. II. on the 4h instant. His
reception was cool. He entered the town on
tho evening of the Sd, accompanied by Mr..
Senator Woodbury., Mr.. Claggott and t,co .fd-
dlers, the latter of whom played on their in
struments, much to the entertainment Of the
spectators, during the passage Of the carriage
through the streets, which contained the Hon.
Isaac But few attended the next day, to hear
the vulgar Grafton, and the disappointed edi-
tor returned TO Concord in disgust, and vented
his spleen upon all who did not see fit to attend
and listen to his Grafton dismissed his fdders
and burnt his Grafton.
Among others who thought fit to attend the
Administration celebration, and not bow 10
the nod of Mr. Hill was Captain JOHN ORDE
CREIGHTON, Of the United States Navy
commander of the Navy Yard at Portsmouth
and for thus exercising his privilege TO attend
what celebration he pleased, the editor Of the
Patriot has thought fit 10 attack Captain c. in
the most violent and indecent manner. Among
other charges Mr.. Hill says that Captain C
"issuod an order" to compel all the officers on
the station, to attend the Administration din
ner. So far from such being the fact, Captain
Creighton never issued an order on the subject
or attempted to dictate in any manner whatcv
cr, in regard TO tho celebration. to the officers
under his command. Mr.. Hill uses the following
language, in giving excuses for the non-a;tcn
dance at his celebration

i WELLIyGroN's hpMINIsTRArIoN.-+D
the rccen; accounts from England, il appears
that trouble and dlssension pervade the British
Cabinet, and that party fever RACES in an I'M
comfortable manner. The tory administration
OF tho Duke Of Wellington, has given general
dissatisfaction, and the people complain loudly
of want Of ,alen, and energy in their ministers.
The resignation Of Mr.. Huskisson. Vscount
Palmerion, and Mr.. Lamb, has left little be-
hind to render the adminis ration less odious.
An attempt, however, is once more made,
to Gil these vacancies, from the tory par
ty, AMI if possible, preserve the standing Of
thor military Premier, bat wc are assured this
can avail them nothing. The experience and
/ wisdom Of Mr.. Peel at his elbow, from which
so much was expecled,I;o direct the manage.
ment Of the conqueroi Of Waterloo, in the af-
! fairs of civil government, have been found to-
tally Inefficient to answer the purpose. No
! enlig htened people on earth, will quietly sit
down with man at their head to conduct and
take charge Of civil matters, whose claims 10
that pre-ennent station are grounded solely
Oh military talents and fame. No cabinet
which Wellington can institute, We may with
confidence say, will ever stand, and the sooner
he withdraws, the better will il be for his own
credit and the welfare Of tho people.
From this experiment, we may be able to
Judge Of the success which would probably at
tend the election Of "a military chief TO the
Presidency of the United States 1t has been
said that, though General Jackson is Of HIM
self incompetent TO fll that high station, yet
he would judciously select men for his Cabinet
whose knowledge and experience would make
ample amends. We have now before us
fair test of the strength Of such an arrange
ment, which ought to satisfy any man Of OBJ
servation that the scheme would he idle in
Gecd. The popularity of Wellington among
his people transcribed that of General Jack
son in this country, in the same proportion to
the superior boldness, brilliancy and number of
his military achievements; and yet the friends
and admirers of the former, cry ont against
his appointment to the Off ce of civil magis-
trate. If we wish 10 reward daring deeds and
military talent, there are other ways to be
found besides the experiment of submitting our
libeities, lives and fortunes TO the hands Of
such as are totally incompetent to have the
care of them.
