le Greeks — Great efforts are makings to induce the 

 h nation to interfere in behalf of the Greeks in 

 arduous strngf^le against Turkish oppression, and 



said that the prospect is promising; — that the 

 il will not be ineffectual. A deputation sent by 

 ondon Greek Committee to the Morea, had re- 

 d, and made a most favorable report, and mea- 



were in train to excite powerful and g:enerous 

 ions on the part of the British in behalf of the no- 

 forts of a renowned nation struggling to be eman 



d from the most merciless despotism that cvei 

 ed the human race.

 Spanish merchants. 



It Peru. — Former accounts left the Spanish 

 ts in possissienof Lima, but they remained only 

 lays in that place, and evacuated it on the ap- 

 of the independent allied army. The .Spanish

 bution of $300,000 on the city, burnt the Mint 

 e other edifices. Generals Santa Cruz, and Su-

■'on County Cattle Shou'. — One of our agricultn- 

 nds in the County of Grafton writes to us, — 

 .gricultural Society held their annual Kxhibi- 

 II Fair, at Lyme, on Wednesday the l«l inst. — 

 ck in general, though not numerous, was of the 

 tlity, and the same may be said of the Domes- 

 mfaciures. The large concourse of independ- 

 praclical farmers assembled on the occasion 

 :ed great delight with the various exhibitions 

 ay, and particularly with the very able scl- 

 mcl practical address from Professor Dana, 

 ■rsfand the society have requested a copy for 

 ion, and I sincerely hope the public will speed- 

 atified with its perusal. A regular account of 

 ety's proceedings will soon be communicated

Potatoe.— The Fayetteville, N. C. Observer 

 jotatoe was raised the past season in a garden 

 town, which was one foot in length, 17 inches 

 mference, and weighed seven pounds and tight 



Beet — \ Blood Beet, raised in Mr. Seymour's 

 in Salem, N. Y. weighed 11 lbs. 12 oz. and 

 d 2S inches in length, and 22 inches in cir- 

 ace. 



Apples — An apple was lately picked from a 

 Wr. Walling's farm in Hartford, N. Y. which 



wi ighed 20 1-2 ounces, and measured M 1-2 inches in 

 circumferince. Mr. Joseph lng;ilsby of the same 

 town, picked one from a tree in his garden weighing 22 

 ounces. The Troy Sentinel says that " an apple was 

 brought to our office last week measuring l5 1-1 inches 

 round, and now weighs 21 ounces ; when taken from 

 the tree about three weeks since, it weighed 2;! ounces. 

 It was raised on a farm situate a few miles from this 

 city, the property of one of our neighbors."

 cently discovered in Ijtdford, N'. H. It is believed by

[jYew England Galaxy. 



A'ew kind of Manufacture — A Miss Brengle lately 

 exhibited at Georgetown, N. C. proofs of wonderful 

 skill in the use of Scissors. In a piece of paper an 

 inch square, she cut out the letters that compose the 

 Lord's prayer in a style of elegant typography. Every 

 letter was accurately formed. 



The New York Post stales upon the faith of inform- 

 ation recently received from England, that Mr. Perkins 

 calculates making a trip to the United States, in /en or 

 ticelvf- dai/s, in the new steam ship which he is con- 

 structing. This will be a most astonishing step in the 

 science of Navigation — so astonishing from the rapidi- 

 ty of the advance, that a century would seem necessa- 

 ry to make il. The achievement would immortalize 

 the name of Perkins. It would be more famous than 

 the expedition of .fason and the Argonauts. It would 

 be hringmg as it were the two conlinents fifteen hun- 

 dred miles nearer together. It would communicate in- 

 telligence of distant events with a velocity which no 

 man twenty years aj-o could even have dreamed wilhii' 

 the range of possibility. It will form a new era in thi 

 world — as great as the discovery of the mariner's com 

 pass. The consequences it would produce would KaP 

 all calculation. Should it succeed, it will bind a n w 

 and never fading wreath, round the brow of our owi. 

 country. — Richmond Compiler.
