O. Oti o’s P a lace. Rev. Mi. May, ,n his last letter from Athens, Greece, says:— The king is building a very large palace, too lare and expensive, one would think, for a king- Joffl go small and young as Greece. The cost cannot be less than one million and a half of dollars. While this marble palace is going up, the people are in poverty and ignorance. Surely guch a monarch is not a ‘‘shepherd oft he people.” Mr. M. says that Athens looks much like the „ P west of our western towns. It contains about 20-OW inhabitants, and being the seat of the court, is increasing. —North American. from Ike Dublin Weekly Register, father Mathew, the Irish Temperance Apostle. The following facts, which we have been ena bled to lay before our readers, respecting this ex traordinary and exemplary man, may be relied on as authentic, as they have been lor the most part derived from himself. His groat anxiety to draw a v eil over the good things he has done is the on jv rrason that they are not more numerous. Mr, Mathew was born in tht* year 1789. at Thomas! own House, the scat, of the Earl of bland a ff, in the County ot ( ork. When about 20 years of age he entered Kilkenny College, where, having completed the usual course of stu dies, he took oiders as a Franciscan Friar. On leaving college he fixed his residence at Cork, where, in a short time he earned a high reputa tion by the zeal with which he discharged the duties of his sacred office, and particularly by his powers as a pulpit orator. J o enumerate the ser vices which he rendered to his fellow-citizens, particularly the humbler classes of them, is a task agreeable in itself, but one which would require more time and space than we can afford to be stow. Let it be sufficient to say, that he has spent the last-5 years in continued exertions Ic mitigate the sufferings of the poor eff his neigh borhood, and to raise them from the'sbite of mo ral and physical degradation to which they had been reduced. Never, during that time, was ar, attempt made to effect any of the great ends of charily—to instruct the ig: orant, to feed the nun- i gry, to clothe the naked—that did not either ori ginate with him, nr at le .st receive his most ar-, Jent support. He never stopped to enquire whe ther such an attempt originated with u Protestant | ora Catholic; he required but to be told that its I object was to confer a benefit on his fellow-man. i We need hardly say he is a t ue and consistent 1 Catholic; but at the same lime, he believes there is room in heaven for every good man to what ever sect he may belong. He never hesitates to say that he believes benevolence to be the great end of Christianity. His every word and point him out as one of those (alas ! how few.) who understand that the motive which called God from on high to dwell amongst us was, that we should love one another. By such a course of life Mr. Mathew gained, in a short time, an unhouu ed influence over the minds of the surrounding poor. About two tears ago it was suggested to him hy a few bene volent individuals, who had attempted to estab lish a total abstinence society in Cork, that he could not better employ his talents and influence that in reclaiming the humble clas es of his fel low-citizens from the vice of drunkenness, which prevailed at the time to a frightful extent among them. He embraced the proposal without hesi talion. About the commencement of the yeai 1838, he formed the first total abstinence society. The temperance movement, like all great revolu tions, has grown from small beginnings. For several months after the first society was estab lished, the number of its members scarcely exceed ed five hundred : it is now more than a million. There is not a single member of his family', who are mostly distillers, on whom he has not in flicted a serious injury by his advocacy of Tem perance; nor were his friends the only persons who suffered by his benevolence. For several months after he established his society in Cork he defrayed the expenses of it from bis own pock <t. He hired, at considerable cost, a riding school in Cove-street, as a place of meeting. He sup ported a number of poor persons who came from the neighboring county into Cork fur the pur pose of joining his society. Lie gave sixty thous and medals for nothing; and, in addition to all this, there was no degree of exertion which he thought too much for the furtherance of the great work in which he was engaged. Diy after day, he was at his post, encouraging and exhorting ; his toil was unremitting, and his only reward is, that which heaven never fails to bestow on a good man. Mr. Mathew is somewhat under the middle size—we should say about 5 feet B—some what corpulent, but not so as to render him in any degree inactive. In his countenance there is a peculiar expression of benevolence. It is rather fashionable with some people, who think they can see farther into futurity than their neighbors, to talk of Mr. Matbew’slaborsas tran sitory in their effect, and of the happy change ef fected in the habits of the people, as one that is not likely to outlast the enthusiasm that has giv en it birth. We entertain a different opinion, and we are convinced a little reflection will lead every thinking man to agree with us. What is it that forms the drunkard’s charm ! Assuredly nothing but habit. Nature has not implanted in ! our hearts a desire for wine or whiskey. The propensity is born with no man. Its takes its fise trom small beginnings, and grows by degrees ll pon the mind. May we not. then, fairly expect that time, which has given it its strength, may also take its trength away 1 It is a great tiling ,0 interrupt a habit. Suppose the great mass of ihe people should continue temperate for one year—and this supposition lias been already real- ‘ ized with regard to a great portion of them—it is J not too much to say that nine out of every leu "ill persevere. New habits will be created, new e njoyments will befell—and what is, perhaps, a $ powerful a motive as either —a new lasluon will be formed. It will no longer be considered one of the necessary accomplishments ot a gen- to be able to drink a certain quantity of punch. Excess will be looked upon in 0s proper light as a thing rather to he ashamed °f than to be prnu I of. T aking ail these things into consideration, there is not the slightest ground for apprehension as to tho ultimate result temperance in Ireland. As to the (fleets ot le, upeiance on the condition of the people, they are too evident to require any lengthened re tries. The amount of money saved to the country and to that portion of the community, !°°- w ho stand most in need of it. ib perhaps the . east important of the happy results th t are like* y to flow from it. Vet even this is by no means 'The value of the spirits annually consumed in Ireland could not have been under t;:r ce millions. The duty amounted to about half !“at sum, and in this a very sensible diminution 138 been already fell; and it is remarkable that a corresponding increase has taken place on ihedu * es of tea arm olh fir cxciseable luxuries.

As its name indicates, it will be devoted exclusively to the cause of Reform, the elevation ot WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio, for President, and JOHN TYe.ER, of Virginia, for 5 ice President, and the subversion of the present Administration, —the necessity of reform in which is becoming every day more and more apparent.— It will observe a mild, dignified tone, and address itself to the common sense of every class of citi zens, for whose benefit it is designed. 'This Prospectus is issued under the impression that the friends of reform will make a united and zealous effort to give the paper a general circula tion, in short to send it to the house of every man who reads. The People want light, and if our friends will aid us in our work, we shall be able to counteract the thousand calumnies of the Van Buren presses, and carry the “war into Africa.” In the language of a distinguished co-workcr, “All we ask is to be heard by the people. It is for them we speak, and if we can get a hearing, we have no fears of the result,” even in Georgia. ‘•The people will vindicate their wrongs, and hurl their oppressors from office.” W T e ask the press throughout this and the ad joining States, to insert our Prospectus, and we especially invoke the friends of the cause to be vigilant in procuring subscribers and forward their names by mail as early as possible.

May 30, I threw (by permission) my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon of an individual, who, with his wife and a small child, was crossing at the same time. The wife knew of the fact, for it was to her I addressed myself. When 1 arrived at the landing, I came off leaving my' cloak, which was carried off by the individuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not, told me they were moving from South Carolina to the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any' i kind friend could give me the clue to their names, or the place to which they were travelling, so that ; I may' obtain my' valuable cloak, he would confer a favor upon one who at limes is too forgetful for ! his own interest.
