The Rcrolation in Grecce-The papers by the
Hiternla bring accounts of a new revolution in
the classic land Of Greece.
II commenced at two o'clock in the night Of
the i4th, and was accomplished within twelve
hours afterwards, and without the ccst of one
human life.
Tire eouu>ii &c -t-t., ~. ~~se,- and the citi.ens
of Athens. united in forcing from King Ohio the
dismissal of his ministers, and the calling Of
national assembly to draw up definite .constitu-
tion for Greece. and when il is recollected that
they have had to endure the Illustration OF their
first revolution, it is not to be wondered at that
the Greek resolved on wringing from the fears of
their sovereign that constitution they could no
longer hope for from his justice.
1t is not thought that the protecting powers
win interfere to prevent the sitting Of their Ma
tonal Assembly, though the settlement Of the
constitution to be proposed by that body will no
doubt be lealcusly watched.
II is said that the King yielded with bad grace,
when he found that all resistance on his part

Cnrious Facfs.--Two curious philosophical
facts are stated on the authority Of the foreman OF
the ropewalk in the navy yard at Caar'estown.-
One is that, if you heat tar, such as they use Tor
their cables. 100 degrees above boiling heat, you
NAV dip your hand in it with perfect impunity,
and they are in the constant habit of doing so.-
The other is that the leathern straps coming from
the engine and working the machinery are highly
charged with electricity. By Standing upon a
nonconducting body, and holding the fingers over
the straps pretty close you become charged with
the electric fluid, and can give out sparks from
the electrifying machine.
