From the Springfield Republican. LETTER FROM DIR. HOWE.

A friend of Dr, Howe (whose letters from Greece are familiar to the public) in this county has politely furnished US with the following amusing extract of letter from the Doctor, lately received by rel- ative of his in Boston, dated,
 MALTA, Nov. 3, 1928.
 What shall I tell you about Malta for suppose you will insist upon knowing something about it. You will recoIlect that Paul was shipwrecked upon an island called Meli,a, which in the modern vernac- ular signifies Malta-and here is the very cave in which he took refuge, and where the barbarians built a fire, and you may see the very seat upon which he rested- that is if you believe the Priests, and flor what ki'ow) they may have the very vi- per that bit him, preserved in bottle of spirits; for they show you so many, won drous things, that you cannot doubt: why, they have here in their churches not only bones of the Saints, the exhibition of which will yet perform miracles, but several hundred weight of the true Cross--and

A LECTURE ON LECTURrNG.

Full surely, man may be defined lec- turing animal. Of all the modern ways devised to raise the wind and keep the starving fiend away, there is nothing now like featuring. Fancy Balls are given, at five dollars ticket, patriotic dinners at three dollars a head, benefit concerts at double price for admission, and "all that sort of thing," till the public begin to un- derstand the thing pretty well and fanat- icism. folly, impudence, and insanity, arc driven to variation by the means, and obliged to resort to other methods of sleight (ofhand or tongue) for transferring money from the pockets of the gullees to that of the guller.
 Poor John Gloves Symmes lectured him self out of his wit and money, about the caverns of the earth, subsisted on charity awhile, and got home safe at last, after pretty much curing the public of his theory. His pupil, Capt. Reynolds, made out much better.
 Then comes Robert Owen, and lec- lures about, till he gets tens of thousands of dollars out of the enthusiasts, by his speculations at New-Harmony. The Ha- verstraw settlement of lecturers was ofless profitable result and shorter date and oth- CT commonwealth systems fare but little better than some of our Wall-street joint stock concerns.''
 Even poor Joseph Lansaster, with all the merit of his land Bcil's) system of monitorial instruction, returns from lcctnr- ing the republics of South America, in beggary, and solicits public charity openly, without undertaking to lecture for it. And my friend Capt. X. Y. as often as the fourth of 5uly comes round ,levies contri- button on the liberality of his acquain- tance, and sympathy of the public, by re- beating his poor thread-bare and worn-out i" patriotic address on the occasion"
 Lastly, Frances Wright brings her stock of" knowledge" from the stores of Owen, Maciure, Goodwin, Hume. Bolingbroke, &c. and deals it out in lectures to inc wondering multitude, ever gaping for some- thing new. She costs the Gothamftes a double tax, in a female antagonist, Ca cheap lccturer,) who combats her like

Ifyou doubt all this, go and ask yonder Monk, with long black robe fastened round his waist, by a knotted cord, which he uses to whip him self with: him l mean with the long beard, and the little black skulI-cap on lis head, and with sandals on his naked fect,--ke told me that all these things were so; aud crossed himself most devou;ly as he look cd at each article,-and begged of me (poor herc,c that am) not to neglect my souls salvation, but let him have some mo- ney, which he would faithfully expend in prayers and masses for me-,hongh said he 's do not promise more than to get of a few thousand years from purgatorial roasting" A holy man tllat-for he O. pened his bosom, and showed me hair shirt he was wearing, "and look, said he. pulling up his coarse robe; how my knees are worn by the hard stones on which I kneel to pray day and night, and with this knotted cord which I wear around my waste do flagelate my body every night. :" I Of course l could not doubt the holy fa- ther: but l thought to myself if had the handling of that cord, would make the old fellow dance to different tune. The half dollar that gave him I presume was expended to buy wine-and as soon as l was off, will venture the hair shirt was off too; and the cord again threshed the bed post instead of his back 10 give it the appearance of having been used.
 You know that the relics of the brave and chivalrous Crusaders-,hc knight of St. John, after being driven from Pales- tine to Rhodes, and then to this Island, made their gallant stand against the Inf dels herc-and assure you, started, and thrill of pleasure mixed with sensation of awe came over me, as entered the ar moury of the knights. It is still imperfect order, and on entering the hall, you start to find yourself surrounded by steel clad fguses-with helmet and breast plate, and greaves aud shield and lance and sword There they stand just as they stood when living, with their armour polished bright the vizor down, tho spear projecting, ol | Hc Hdiieu HdHu OH tue )onucfOuS SWoru 1-all leaning forward and seeming read, to start and punish the intruder on thei solitude. Seldom have passed an hou so pleasantly-yet sadly pteasant, as il this armoury. Here is no fiction, for it i the identical armour worn by those gallan spirits, who shone in battle field, or tour ney gay and were ready to risk life itself for lady's smile, or honor's call. I buck led on the pondcrous breastplate of one, put on tho heavy helmet, girt round me the greaves and the steel band, and lifted the long sharp pointed sword, ,-but felt like a pigmy handling the armour of giant ]; and I put them off quickly, ashamed of my own weakness-and with consciousness that was trifing with what should be re- spected,-that had almost been guilty of irreverence."

This city holds pre-emlnence over most otner ci-
ties in the United States if not In the world IN Its
location. Boston, to spectator who IS entering the
harbor or to one advancing towards it upon any of the
great avenues connecting the peninsula to the country
has the appearance of far greater extent than 1t real
y possesses The eye does not distinguish any breach
of continuty-but takes in Roxbury and Charlestown
the extreme wings of extensive CITY, Approaching
the city from the SOUTH South Boston is thrown upon
the panorama of the city, and do not perceive its
distinction, while the eye passes and rests upon
the white piles of dwellings, drawn along the summit
range of Bunker and Breeds hills in Charlestown
part of the city, likewise, wholly unconscious OF the
Tsber, which sweeps, with multitudinous waves be-
tween. From the high posts of observation in the
SOUTH west northern vicnes of the city, the eye
takes in all-and considers it, what indeed it is-as
one city. 1t will soon be one city, indeed, if the
shores of the Charles continue to approximate they
have done for some years past bridge is thrown
across the channel-wharves and made localities
Immediately cluster themselves around and encroach
upon the bed of the river, until neighbors either
side can call to each other in friendly saluation.
There is much beautiful and grand architecture in
Boston, but it is rather scattered 1t is found in dis
tinc piles, often with every advantage of site and Of
tener without. This fact renders close inspection
of the city, with its numerous rich and we'll built ed
fees, less satisfactory than the broad sweeping pros
pect from distance. The location of many of the
benevolent and humane institutions the pleasant
eminences of South Boston, Cambridge, Charlestown,
and Chelsea, adds new beauty to the city and fresh
lustre to the praise of its humanity. Every hill is
topped with an asylum for distress, temple for devo-
ton, monument to departed worth, or a rampant Of
defence
But it is, emphaticay, after all the beauty of stu-
alton feeby described above in its literary, benevo-
lent, scientific and professional institutions, that Bos
occupies the widest space in the circle of intel
ectual and moral vison.-Boston Palladium.
