FOUEWN. GREECE. A letter from Constantinople gives the following as the fruits of the descent upon Ipsara: 110 vessels, anion; which were snips ot war, 10 Chiefs ci the Ipsariots, and 500 other persons taken prisoners; above 100 can non, 33 standards, 500 heads, and 2000 ears, were the trophies of this victory. A letter . published in the Journal of Missolonghi, receiv ed at Corfu on the 21st July, gives the following account of tha subsequent ureek successes: "The Greek fleet which left Hy dra the Cth July, hastened to the coasts of Ipsara, where the Captain Pacho still cruised. A battle which took place there between the two fleets was most furious. The Greeks succeeded by means of fire-ships in burn ing three Turkish frigates which were commanded by the Capou duna. The Captain Pacha sav ed himself, but his vessel was very much damaged; many -other Turkish vessels of dilferent dimensions were burnt or taken, the remainder of the Ottoman fleet fled, and took shelter in a very bad condition at Mytelene. After this decisive victory, the Greeks effected a landing on the island of Ipsara. More than 2000 Ipsariots held out in two forts of this island. They fa vored the descent of their co patriots. From five to six thou sand Turks who were in the island, terrified at the defeat of their fleet, took to flight, and being pursued to the utmost, were all cut to pieces." An article dated Napoli de Homania, July 12, announces that "The island of Casso sees the standard of the Cross again afloat.

North-Carolina Nctes....Thc New-York Evening Post states that counterfeit bills of the de nomination of $20, on the State Bank of North-Carolina, are in circulation. The general ap pearance of the engraving is well calculated to deceive, but the filling up is not so well ex ecuted. Internal Improvements. The Board for Internal Im provements met in this city on Monday last, present D. Came ron, John D. Hawkins, Thomas Turner and John Owen, Esqrs. It appeared from the reports of Mr. Fulton, that the work car rying on below Wilmington, will be completed in a few weeks, and if he can obtain the use of one of the river steam boats to work the Roller, (which he has been prevented from do ing since the last meeting owing to one of them being under re pairs) it is expected the ship channel will be rendered surh cient for the passage of sea-yes-sels up to the town. The river between Wilmington and Fay- etteville, has been already much improved, by the removal of logs and other obstructions, and every exertion will be made to complete the work as soon as possible. A Report was received from the Commissioners appointed to layoff" the Hickory Nut Road, in Rutherford county, inform ing the Board, that they had ac complished their work, and con tracted for making; the most dif ficult parts of the road, which contracts are to be completed by April next. The Stock having been fully subscribed for erecting a bridge over the Ban at Milton, and the services of Mr. Fulton being re quested to lay off the road, and assist in forming contracts for the work, he is directed by the Board to attend when required. The Board has not yet made the Subscription, authorised by the act of last session, to the Ro anoke Company, of $25,000, the Directors having declined receiving the subscription with the condition annexed of lock ing, down from the Basin at Wcldon's. The question will be laid before the meeting of the Stockholders next month, and there decided whether the proposed subscription shall be accepted or not. riie Board adjourned on lues- day to meet agreeably to the provisions of their character, on the 3d Monday of November next. Ral.Reg. Despondency. We are con cerned to state that Col. W. L. Hays, of Chatham county, a few days ago, in a fit of desponden cy, terminated his existence! He had lately lost his wife, and it would seem was not jiossess ed of sufficient christian forti tude to bear the bereavement. La Fayette. Such was the demand for Poulson's Philadel phia Gazette, containing the ac count of the entrance of La Fa yette into that city, that about 1500 copies were called for, in addition to 20 extra quires which had been struck off. Mr. Poul son stated that in the whole course of his editorial career, he never saw such a rush for papers. Breach of promise.... At the September term of the West chester Court of Common Pleas, held at Bedford, N. Y. came on the trial of Matilda Holmes a gainst Reuben Green, for a breach of promise of, marriage. rhe cause was ably managed by ! the eminent counsel on both sides. The jury rendered a ver dict for the'injured girl of $500. Union Races. Neio-York, Oct. 1. The sports on this course commence on Tuesday next, when, from the number and character of the horses that have arrived, much amusement may be anticipated. General Wynn arrived this morning from Virginia, with his two mares; Flirtilla and Vanity; and it is probable that another stable will reach here before the races commence. Besides these, we have Mr. Lard's two horses, Modesty, and Count Piper; Mr. Colden's Daphne, and two colts; Mr. .Jackson's Slow-and-Easy, and jane-on-the Green Mr. B. Coles' two Arabian colts, with many other horses of good speed and known bottom. The Asso ciation have advanced the races to as early a period as they are allowed by the law, for the com fort and convenience of those who may be inclined to partake oT the sports offered; and we have reason to presume that the attendance will be numerous and respectable. Races. The races on Long Island, N. Y. commenced last week. On Monday, a match race, $1000 a side, 4 mile heats, was run for by two three year old colts, one sired by Eclipse the other a Duroc colt. Two heats only were run, both of winch were closely contested, the Eclipse colt winning the se cond heat by 6nly fialt a neck. On Tuesday, the purse of $500, was won by Mr. Wynn's mare Flirtilla, nothing having entered the lists against her. On Wednesday there was an elegant race; three horses en tered, Wynn's Vanity and two others. Vanity was decidedly the favorite, but after leading for three quarters of a mile in elegant style, from some cause or other she gave up, leaving the other two nags Slow-and-Easy and Modesty to compete for the heat, which was taken by the latter by nearly a neck. The second heat was a dead heat; the third heat was also ta ken by her, after contending for it evcrv inch of the way. Each heat was run in less than six minutes.' On Monday, the 27th ult. a sweepstake for $300, run for at Baltimore, was won by Mr. Sleeper's horse La Fayette, in two heats, with ease; beating Ray Bolton and Jim Crack. On Tuesday the four mile heats were run, for a purse of $150, which was won by Mr. Sleep er's horse S7r Harry, beating Mr. Shiply's horse Peace Ma ker.' Riot in Pittsburg. -Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Westmoreland county, Pa. to his friend in Carlisle, dated "Greensburg, 20th Sept. 1S24. "No doubt you will have heard through the medium of the public prints before you re ceive this, of the great mob that lately arose in Pittsburg. There are, however, circumstances connected with it,' which I pre sume will not be made public, at least in that quarter, of which, according to my information, I will give you a bird's eye view. "The object of the Mob was to tear down the Circus, on ac count of the alleged , seduction of a respectable young lady, by Mr. Pepin, the master of the Circus: who, some time since, opened a riding school in that city, to teach young ladies, &c. to ride gracefully. The alleged victim was oneofhispupilS) av had the misfortune to entertain me most violent passion for hi wnicn sne aicovered to h follows: "hi as "One evening when ridi out with other younq-ladi . companied bv Mr. Pf.n; ac- pretended that her horse Vr frightened, & caught Mr. lWj,! by the hand for protection, bMJ in such a way that he under." stood her at once. He after wards received several letters from her, one of which, bein-r first intercepted went to disclose between them, which he positively denies. The thinn became known to her friends who sent her into the countr" 'Tis strange that a youn iX worth from 10 to 15 thousand dollars, and perhaps not more than 16 years of age, should fall in love with an old man, with a wife and family, but so appears this fact. Now to the mob The evening the attack was made by a mob, the circus was crowded with ladies and gentle, men. The mob was so larj that the building was complete ly surrounded they commen ced by throwing stones, and en deavouring to tear down the cir cus, and became so outrageous, that the company had to stop the performance, and call upon the people within to assist them :they then endeavoured to appease the mob,butin vain. Atlcngth,some one, more eloquent than the rest, prevailed with those turbulent beings to desist until the ladies and the children could get home. Ten or fifteen minutes wereal- lowed them for that purpose. Here then was crvinst, bustle and confusion. After the ladies had withdrawn, hostilities re commenced between the mob and circus men, the latter of whom were all well armed, and drove the mob every direction; but they still returned, which created a spirit of desperation ia the circus men, one of whom fired into the crowd, and killed a man. This, for a moment roused a spirit of vengeance ia the mob, some of whom propos ed arming themselves with mus kets, &c But they soon began to think seriously of the conse quences, and dispersed. The circus man who shot the citizen, was admitted to bail But the whole circus company had to seek protection in the common jail, for two or three Hays. If 'this was not "witching the world with horenianship," I dont know what it was." Those concerned in the till ing of Mr. Ilartzell, mentioned above, were subsequently tried and acquitted. Singular Births. A negro in the possession of a gentleman of this city, has brought forth within thirteen months, five children. This is no prodigy too prodigious to be asserted; as was the late case of the French female, who was stated to have brought forth seven children at a birth but the present is plain matter of fact. During the last year, this negro women W twins both boys, now living and in fine health. Within thir teen months after, (that is, ,n July last,) she had three fine in fants at one birth... and whati curious enough, they are of li ferent sexes and colors; one girl two boys. The girl is oi w mulatto color.... one of the bop has the yellow tinge and the glossy hair of thtfIndian...."c other has the jet-black and wo -len hair. The children arc all living, all well and hearty, and nursed by the mother: herself enjoys excellent health ....She and her husband are bteclis....Richmond Commftr.
