GRrEcE. A letter has been received
from the Greek Agent, DR.. Howe, by the
Boston and New-York Committees, dated
Westinghouse, Isthmus Of Corinth, June Is,
1899. DR.. Howe, it is well known, has
been for several years past the judicious al
moner Of the American bounty. He has
adopted the right plan in endeavouring to
procure occupation for the poor, and giving
ont the American supplies of provisions,
&C., as the price of labour and the reward
ofindustry. He has employed a large mum
Der in rebuilding an old quay that had fallen
to pieces. He has also collected twenty six
families together and formed a little village
employing the poor whom he picked up in
the streets of Curinth to erect the dwellings.
The villagers are engaged in agriculture,
and each family has separate parcel OF
land He has obtained the land of the
Greek Government, and has given the name
Of Washington to his new village. Within
the bounds of this little place is the ancient
port from which st. Paul embarked when
he sailed for Ephesus.
DR.. Howe represents the parts OF Greece
freed from the enemy as gradually recover
ing from their distress, though it is still
great. Instances of death by famine among
them is becoming uncommon. But the
Sciotes, Analiotes, Athenians, &C., are still
suffering, under the iron hand of the Turk,
evils, and miseries, and wretchedness that
we in our happy and bountifnl condition can
not fully conceive Of All but the poorest
among us could be rich indeed in Greece.
DIR. Howe says $40 or $50 is enough to set
upa family in agriculture. The land is fer
tile, the climate mild. Agricultural imple-
ments are of rude construction, and wheel
barrow, made by DR.. H., was the first wheel
carriage ever seen in Greece.

AN EASY MODE OF DIvERTINe TRADE.
An act was passed at the last session of the
Legislature of Vermont to incorporate the
Connecticut River Canal Company,& author
izing the extension of the Hampshire and
Hampden Canal along the bank of Connec-
ticut River, in the State of Vermont. An
act was also passed to incorporate the Con-
necticut River Steamboat Company.
Should the canal be continued into the
State Of Vermont, as perhaps there is prob.
ability it will be, it will be another mode O
diyerting trade from our capital. Is not THU
an argument in favour of the northern rail
way? And will intelligent men sit still, an,

NEw-YORK ELECTIONS. The election
for assembly men in New York is over. In
the city there were great many tickets,
under various names, and perhaps of various
interests. We do not pretend, nor have we
ever pretended, to understand the singular
political factions that are continually en-
broiling the demagogues of that city; nor
to sift out the grains Of worth from among
the unnumbered ingredients in their politi-
cal pot. Universal suffrage is there enjoy
ed in all its glory and as might be expect
ed, from the foreign element that enters
somewhat into their population, it has
brought its attendant effects.
An alarm was sounded in the N. Y. En-
uuirer, that what was termed the mechan-
icks' ticket, &c. was in fact got up by the
disciples of Fanny Wright, who covered
their designs under popular name. This
has been contradicted: but howeverit may
be it is, perhaps,a matter of secondary conse-
quence. The following resolutions passed
at meeting which voted to support this
ticket, ticket that received more than 5000
votes, snow IN more lorclDie language IMAM
we can express that there is very numer-
Gus class in that city ready to destroy the
whole fabrck of sound order, and build up
afraternizing system of the worst charac-
ter. New-York must already feel that she
mas erred oy guarding so IeeDiy the right OF
