The deck was crowd ed with Greeks—clad in their gay Albanian costumes, striding up and down and displaying J their graceful forms to tbe best advantage. \Vith the petticoats these men seem also to ha* usurped that gUare of persoual vanity which is ofteu attributed to the fair sex. They draw ra their waists to an absurd degree, are complete dandies in dress, and evident y des.ro conatantlyWo challenge admiration. \In all me form alone, how changed! and who That marks the fire mil sparkling in each ry«, Who but would deem their boaoins burn'tl anew With thy uaquencheJ beam, lost Liberty I\ The sun soon set. Thus is the most charm ing moment iu Greece. The oppressive heat of the day is tempered, and the cool sea breeze fans the burning cheek. This cloudless sky is not dyed with the gorgeous tints of a north ern sunset The luminary only sheds a l'.o >d of yellow light about liiin as he sinks. Giving back the hue, some of the inoiiutams beeom.- a aubdupd purple, some red, some in the west look black in contract with the bright sky A blue haxe*creeps over distant objects, conceal ing from view the rugged mountain sides, but leaving still clear and distinct, their irregular outline. 1 awoke in the bay of Nauplia—high above us was a fortress crowning a vast perpendicu lar rock, the rock Palaiuedc. Palainedeo was I ho who discovered that Ulysses' madness was feigned! From him this ruck is named. A.VTIQOiriKS. This, indeed, takes us back to remote antiq uity.

The tract 1s double, of live feet guage, and some of the bridges are elevated above the water from 125 to 1 1 5 feet. Tbe bridges are of wood, on Howe's principle, and were built by Mr. 11. 0.

WASHINGTON BUNT By the Governor JAUE 3 F RUOGLES , Private Secretary. The Election—Its Results and Aspects. New York is getting somewhat famous for close election contests. Two years ago the election went about half-and-half, all around. The State Olh'oers were equally divided be tween the two great parties, the Judges like-! Maj.

On I Cortland, Delaware, Dutchess, Erie, Eittex, Franklin, Fulton <t Ham.

He is besides almost tbe only ro<*i wherhas served as many years 111 the Nntional Councils, who retains the strength and vigor of his ear lier years. The \old stagers\ are going off the stage. Old Bullion is still a great man, head and shoulders, taller in the seal ehinients of strength than any of his compeers. The only difficult) we can see in the way of his eleofim against any probable candidate that can be presented against him is the impossibil ity of his getting the nomination.of a National Convention. With the sanction of such a nomination, he would carry most probably all the large States and with them the election.— But going before the people is a different thing from getting the sanction of the politicians.— He has too much manliness aud honesty, for these. To select a candidate for tbe Whigs is as difficult a matter as for their rivals. It may be answered, for tho reasons stated in refer ence to the Democratic candidates, that neithor the present Executive, nor any mem ber of his Cabinet, with one possible excep tion, can carry the state of New York, against the Democratic party united. The one who constitutes this exception is THOMAB CORWIN Mr CORWIN has done nothing that we are aware to render hinMglf seriously objection Howe 's Ca ————i—— Seekff paperbe recollected that there was a ru- aMOunfc^f .the nf|vj ; . e, w|jth appeared, in oH las^eekfp Md not ^pet our eyis) till f» sav »«S in opr CoJummy- We reo <%nized' the JJjecriptbn at once, at identicaT,1ri its peculiar and somewhat! thrilling incidents, with the account which we had heard from the hps of some of the explor ers themselves.

We confess our selves somewhat puzzled at the introduction to the article, with which it came to us prefaced.
