Echos.—There are several echos in the
iii.^l'.iands, w'hicb from tlieir powers, and
t)vj nunib«‘r of times v. hich they repeat,-
i’avi' attracted r.mcb attention amotig
the curious. Frtmi the tipot were the
artillery is usually planted at V'‘’’est Point,
we have often counted five distinct re
verberations on the discliarp^e of a field
piece. And the celebrated echo bjlow
the Point, near the site of old Fort
Washington, repeats nine times. One of
the most distinct echos that v.c ever
lieard is upon the east side of the Otse-
fjo lake, occasioned by the peculiar con
formation of the inoisiitain celebrated in
Cooper’s novel, “ the Pioneers,” as the
sublime scenp of the fire in the woocis.
The reverberatiou is distant, yet t;o dis-
tinrt, that a whole sentence of ordinary

appears like two^^aiids, at din'erent jjoints

In the days of “uuld ^.ine,” it was a

The Hrltish ministers have determined
to mak? no alteraticns in the Corn Laws
until next year.
In the House of Lords, on the 25th,
the Duke of York, in presenting a peti
tion against the ('atholic claims, took oc
casion to say that he was oj^posed to those
claims, always had been so, and always
should be. He called on the Lords to
consider the situation in \\hich the Sov
ereign would be placsd, were the Catho
lic bill to be passed. “ By the coi-onation
oath, the Sovereign is bound to maintiun
the Church established, in her doctrine,
discipline, and rights, inviolate. An act
of Parliament might release future SoA cr-
eigps.” He alluded to the deep interest
taken in the question by the late king,
and concluded thus :—1 have be«;n bi o’t
up from my early years in these princi
ples ; and, iVom the time when 1 began
to reason for rny.seli', I have enterlainer!
them from conviction j and in every situ
ation in which I may be placed, I will
maintain them, so help me God.”—The
Morning Chronicle of the 'J8th says of
this speech—“it had the air of reigning
by anticipation. It looked like an attempt
to hx the r('gards of those members of
the Upper House,who, for theclose union
between the Crown and the Church, are
understood to be more particularly at the
royal disposal, or therather than
.the reigning monarch.” *
These remarks of the Duke were taken
up by Mr. Brougham, in the House of
Commons, on the 26th, on the question
for the second reading of the Irish Elec
tive Franchise Bill, which proposes to
raise the qualification of the 40.s. electors,
to i^lO. Mr. Brougham was in opposi-
tio» to the bill, which was ordered to a
second reading by a great majority. It
had been whispeied that the passing of
this bill was necessary to secure the pas
sage of the Catholic Relief Bdl. Mr.
Brougham in reference to this,’and to the
Duke of York’.s remarks, .said—
“ We are all along supposing that, by
agreeing to the adoption of this measure,
we shall carry the Catholic question.—
Who is to secure that result to us ? We
reckon without our host. [Cheers from
the opposition.] We reckon without our
lords. ( Cheers and laughter.] It is not
for me to allude to that vvhich pusses in
the other House of Parliament, but I will
say that I have head'd of that which passed
in another place, last niglu—that which,
if true, would go not only to disturb the
tranquillity oi'Ireland, but to put in peril
the safety of this country, and the exist
ence of those institutions by law estab
lished and settled at the period of the
revolt!linn of 1638. [Loud and continued
ciieers from the opposition.] I have
h. ard, I repeat, that which gave me so

that a Prince of that House which sits
upon the throne of these realnis—that

should liare to declare that when he
sliould come to fdl another situation—
[Cheering from the opposition of such an
astc'undingnature as defies description.]”
The lion', member was here culled to
onlfi' by Mr. Plunkett and otiiers, but
the Speaker decided against the call.
Mr. lirotsghaTn resumed his remarks, re
ferring to the opposition to be expected
from tiie Duke of York, when he should
comc to the tTirone of England.
“Instead of a majority of twenty-seven
M( mbers of this House, to save the em

LETTEKS FKUM L.WELCE.
Yesterday afternoon we found on our
table a pamphlet, containing two letters
from J. P. Miller to the Greek Commit
tee, oiie froHi him to Mr. S. D. Harris,
a letter I'rom Priuce Mavrocordatas, and
one of the letters froin Mr. Miller have
been already published in the .newspa
pers ; others we do not recollect to have
before seen. They contain much valua
ble information relative to that country,
which we shall take the earliest oppor
tunity of laying before our readers.
At the date of Mr. Miller’s last letter,
Jan. 14,he expected to march the next day,
as a volunteer with Col. Jarvis, in an ex
pedition against Lep'anto: and-Patras
was to be attacked at the same time by
troops from Napoli. Mr. Miller gives
it as his real opinion that the Greeks
will be free and assigns the following rea
sons :—
“I. Amidst all the distress (and grea
ter, I am perouaded, never existed in any
country) it is the i;;eneral res[)onse, nol
of the men oidy, but of the women and
children, that they will all die, before
tiiey will again comc under the power'of
the Turks. If the enemy were at a dis
tance, I should not take much notice, of
such expressions, but as they are only u-
bout twenty miles oft', it is a strong evi
dence of the determination of the Greeks.
2. The aversion vvhich the Greeks have
to the Franks, (i. o. Europeans) will nev
er permit them to receive a king from
the powers of Europe, I am aware that
it is in the power of the Holy Alliance
to do Greece harm ; but in my opinion,
they v.’ould prove unable to force a king
permanently upon this country. 3. The
gradual strength which government is
daily gaining over those Greeks, who
though not exactly in favor of a mon
archy, are nevertheless own
rather than the public
pect is fair, I think, A
ment of all internal
fourth reason, which
opinion, is the order
with which the Congress
(irecce was held at Anatolico, Dec. 1(3,.
1824. I was present at the Congress.—
It was composed of the. principal inhal)-
itants and generals of the several districts,
and held its session for ten days, during
which time, all the aifairs of Westei ii
Greece were amicably soitled, though
the on'icers and soldiers who have
defended tV>c country for the last six
months had nol received either rations,
clothes or money. There were two thou
sand soldiers in the twn, who catne
with tlieir difren.nl commanders; yet
there was no riot or disturbance, and the
Congress, lor its order and regiilarity,
woulil have done h.onor to anv nation.—
When I see ahimdred men and the most
of them armeiU.cooIly deliberating con
cerning the. afl’airs of their country, for
ten days-, vithout discord, though hav
ing every reason to complain, I readily
concludc that they are able to accom
plish much.”
(ireece, it appears, has been overrun
v.ilh foreigners, whose cliaractcrs have
given the (ireeks the most unfavorable
impressions respecting their dilfcrent
countries. “It is a mistaken icb'a^says
Mr. -Miller) that is prevaletii in America
in regdvd to the profligacy of the (ireek's.

NF.wAUK, oHi’o, MAY 26.—Gn the Usth-
inst. was experienced at Burlington and
its vicinity, ir. this county, one of the
most tremendous wliirlwinds that was
ever known. It commenced about ten
miles west of Burlington, tearing every
thing in its coursc till it reavhed the a-
bove pluce, which it has literally swept
from the ground. It then continued its
ravages in a north-east direction, to the
average width of a little more than a
mile through the whole extent ol the
country ; where it has terminated, we
have not heard. Several of our citizens
have been to the place, and the accounts
which they give almost surpass belief.
The inhabitants of Burlington w’ere alarm
ed by a loud rolling of tvi?id, and upon
looking to the west discoverd something
like a dark black cloud—^^and as it ap
proached, the appearance of trees and
limbs, flying and hurled in every direc
tion in the air, T.’as seen. ThCy flew to
their houses, and in a few seconds every
thing was turned over i they cotdd ntilhi’r
see nor hear ^ every house in town ivas
swepl to the very ground; log-houses were
carried away to the very lowest logs, and
stables and houses hurled in the air—
ami, what is most astonishing, there
were but three persons killed. To wit
ness the scene, it would be supposed no
person could have escaped—some were
taken up and carricd ofi' some distance :
others clung to whatever they could get
hold of, and so violent was the wind,
that a boy who ran to shut a door, was
throu'/i with such vio.'i'ncc against the oppo
site iiall that his bruins H'ere dnshed cut;
another, standing in an orchard, was
struck by a small limb, and his head actu
ally cut in ticu. The scene of desolation
which it has occasioned is most appal-
litig: on farms of two and three hundred
acres of land there is not a tree left stand
ing; the woods ire completely prostrated
and almost every animul in the 7icighborhood
has been deatroyed.
Two men, hap.pening to be out plough
ing at the time vvhen the storm came on,
were suddenly surprised by the appear
ance of trees Hying in the air, accompan
ied w ith a heavy noise. At first they
could not credit their eye-sight; their
curiosity was excited, a;id they remained
looking at it with astonishment; the main
current of wind passed son-iC distance
from them ; it came on so rapidly that
before they could get near any house
they were overtaken ; the limbs and trees
commenced falling, and lore up by the
roots and twisted ofT every tree around
thein. One of the men was carried to a
small prairie' that was near, he continued
hanging^’to a bush until at last the bush
and he both were carried away. He how
ever succeeded in fastening to another
till the storm was over. While in this
situation, he represents the limbs and
bodies of trees striking the earth and.
tearing up the ground for some distance
in deep furrows, and then again rising ;
after it was over he went to look for his
companion. He, when he found the
storm was on them, had run to the side
of a log which was near him, when di
rectly he perceived a very large tree fal
ling on the spot where he was; he hail
the piesence of mind to move a short
distance, when the tree fell and buried
the log in the ground. He then ran un
der the side of the large tree that had fal
len, and there remained. When his
companion came to hunt him he halloo
ed ; at first he did not hear him, until he
approached nearer, when he answered
him from under an immen.se heap of tim
ber. It was imposiblc .for him to gel
out until the other fell to work with liis
axe and cut away the logs, when he found
him unhurt. Their oxen were complete-*
ly mashed to pieces, and not a tree was
left standing around them.
Another f,irn^er, whp had just built a
large brick house, and had his farm in a
good stale of improvemetit, hapj)ened to
be a short distance from it when the
wind camc on ; he secured himself by
holding to a stump, and remained in this
situation until the storm, which lasted
f.vo or three minutes, waJi over ; when
he rose to go to his hon^c every thing tras
compldcly dc.'iolation around liim, and he
went directly on a contrary direction
from that in v/hich his house stood. Af
ter going over trees and heaps of timber,
he at ]a.si found where his house had stuod.
It \vas almost ruined. He supposed his
v/ife and family were destroyed, but up
on looking into the cellar, he there found
them safe. His wife, upon seeing the
storm, and supposing the house would
be blown away, ran with hercliildrtn in
to the cellar.
Several, from whom we have the above
facts, state, that remarkably large trees
were taken up by the roo's, and carried
for some distance. One tree in parlicu-
lar, between il-.ree anrl four feet thick,
which harl been standing near a house,
was torn up by ihe roots and carricd to
the distance of almost tv/o hundred
yards. A more violent hurricane wus
never witneoscd in any country.

Having conversed with sotne of th?
persons who assisted in raisin.jj tlie bodr
of a drowned man, in Schuylkill, on Tues
day afternoon last, I am induced to in
quire, through the medium of your pa
per, into the causes of quicksilver having
the effect, (which it undoubtedly had).of
rai.sing the body. It appears that tb#
young man was drowned about 3 o’clock
on Sunday evening, and on Monday mor
ning, a trial was made with a loaf of
bread, in which about a table spoonitil cl
cjuicksilvcr was introduced, but notins
manner entirely to exclude the air and
water.
The loaf was then placed on the water,
floated about 50 or 60 feet, when it stop
ped and remained in the same plite lor
25 minutes, although chips, tbat wcr®
thrown into the water, floated by it-
On Tuesday afternoon, the cxperiroent
was tried again by putting 3 oz. of quick
silver in a small paper box and that bol
in another. 'Fhe box was llu'n placcd la
