Latest from Europt. — The ship Topaz, Capt. Cal- 

 lender, arrived at this ))ort from Liverpool, on the 11th 

 inst. and brought London papers to the evening ol the 

 12th and Liverpool to the 13th of July. By these we 

 learn that the (Jreeks continue a successful resistance 

 t* the Turkish armies, and the commander in chief of 

 the latter had been defeated in an elfort to force the 

 passes of the Thermopylae. It is likewise asserted, that 

 the corps of Conslantine Bozzaris, and the troops of 

 the Pacha of Scutari had been engaged, and the Turks 

 defeated. In various quarters the Greek cause ap- 

 pears to predominate, but no very decisive engage- 

 ments are mentioned. 



Spain. — Madrid letters of June 26, state that the 

 Government had received a note from the French Am- 

 bassador, against the conduct observed towards the 

 Constitutionalists, that in consequence of it orders had 

 been given at Bilboa and elsewhere to put a decree of 

 amnesty in execution. In Arragon the populace of 

 several towns resisted this order, burned the decree, 

 and could only be quelled by a French battalion. 



London. — It should seem by an article of the 6th 

 of July that the British government had in view a mili- 

 tary expedition, and its destination is conjectured to 

 te Portugal. 



Balloon Asctnt. — Mr. Rossiter, one of Mr. Harris' 

 Committee, and uncle of his widow, has made an as- 

 cent in the same balloon which had proved fatal to 

 Mr. Harris, for the benefit of his widow and family. 

 He landed without any difficulty, and without the 

 balloon's sustaining the slightest injury. 



and say that the Government of Greece will hasten to 

 I xpriss its sincere gratitude for such a benevolent 

 deed, which it must necessarily inspire in the hearts 

 of the Greeks. — Con. Herald. 



Last week an attempt was made to poison the family 

 of Mr. W. Sanbury, in Winchester, Va. by arsenic, 

 mixed in the butter eaten at the table. Fortunately 

 Iht quantity employed was so great, as to produce an 

 immediate discharge from the stomach, and save the 

 livHsofthe persons taking it. Suspicions light on a 

 black wench, as the author of the diabolical oflVnce.

At a monthly meeting of the New-York Horticultu- 

 ral Society, July 29, a member presented a catalo;,'uc 

 of I'mit-frees, part of which he brought from Europe 

 in the Spring, — the remainder are expected in the 

 fall. Many of the varieties are new. They consist of 

 13 varieties of Almonds

Sai'annreft, July 27. — The long continued dry weath- 

 er which we have experienced, will have the most in- 

 jurious effects upon the crops in this part of the coun- 

 try. We have received a letter from May river, S. C. 

 which states that the want of rain for the last eight 

 ■weeks " has almost entirely destroyed the corn crop — 

 th« cotton crop is materially injured, and the prospect 

 of provisions for the ensuing year is distressing in- 

 deed." We have learned from other sources that the 

 rice in the low lands is perishing for the want of water. 

 The river is lower than it has been known for many 

 years." 



The Commissioners of the Navy Board are at present 

 absent on a tour of inspection of the Eastern Navy 

 Yards. 



ffew kind of Wheat. — A new kind of Wheat has 

 lately been brought from Arabia, called the Ileshbon 

 Wheat. — The ears are twice as large as those of the 

 common kinds of wheat. The number of grains in 

 one ear is eighty-four, and the length of the stalk, five 

 feet one inch. [Cincinnati Gazette. 



Mr. Rush, the American Minister at the Court of St. 

 James, has acknowledged the receipt of JE6,G00 sterl- 

 ing (through Messrs. Baring fr Co.) from the commit- 

 tee in New- York appointed to receive contributions 

 for the relief of the virtuous and patriotic Gri eks. 

 The Greek deputation in Loudon has very feelingly 

 noticed the liberality of the Americao contributors,

Thomas Crooker mowed irf one mistute, in the 

 field of Thaddens Chapin, Esq. last week, sevenhun^ 

 dred and fifly-ln'o square feet of grass : four other men, 

 about 550 feel each ; averaging 47 clips of grass, and 

 being 94 movements of the Scythe in 60 seconds.

The Legislature of Jfew-York adjourned on the 6th 

 inst. after refusing to pass what is denominated the K- 

 Icctoral Bill, which gave the right of choosing Electors 

 of President and Vice President of the United Stales 

 to the people. In consequence of this decision the 

 choice will devolve on the Legislature at their session 

 in November next. 



Erratum: — In the article headed "On raising 

 Wheat," communicated by Mr. A. Butterfield, and 

 published in the last No. of the New England Farmer, 

 page 12, column 2, the following occurs, "he broke 

 up one half acre," &c. It should have been one and an 

 half acre, &c. 



0;^ HOW TO SAVE FIFTY CENTS. 

 Our subscribers arp respectfully and respec- 

 tively reminded that by paying for the current 

 volume of the New England Farmer within 

 60 days from the 1st inst. they raay obtain the 

 volume for ^2 50 instead of ^3 00, which is 

 the price unless the money is paid in advance. 

 Those who are indebted for either of the pre- 

 ceding volumes, it is hoped will be so good as 

 to settle their accounts, without putting tis to 

 the necessity of soliciting a favour of that kind. 

 What are vulgarly called dunning paragraphs 

 in newspapers have such an ungenteel appear- 

 ance, that wc cannot but hope that our good 

 iViends and respectable patrons, by prompt pay- 

 ments, will relieve us from the necessity ot 

 'writing any thing of that description.
