THE GREEKS.

A Greek Ball is to be given at Baltimore on the 5th Feb. in aid of the Greek Fund—Robt. G. Harper, and 20 others, Managers. To leave as large a surplus as possible, they have determined to forego a regular supper—to confine themselves to some simple and cheap refreshments—and they have called upon all persons, and particularly the ladies, for "contributions or loans of suitable decorations, of every description."

An "appropriate and masterly" sermon has been delivered in St. Andrew's Church, Philadelphia, by the Rev. Mr. Bedell, for the aid of the suffering Greeks—$251 were collected on the occasion.

The citizens of Trenton held a meeting on the 13th January—Mr. L. I. Stockton delivered "an eloquent and impressive address in favor of the Greek cause." —The mayor and four other citizens were appointed a Committee of collection

The citizens of Catskill, N. Y. have met; resolved that "individual contributions were not inconsistent with the neutral and pacific policy of our government in relation to other nations"—and appointed a committee of ten to solicit donations.

The citizens of Waterville, N. Y. have also had a meeting, and appointed a committee of twenty, residents of the towns of Harpersfield, Stamford, Kortright, and Roxbury, to raise collections for the cause of the Greeks.

Various donations have been contributed in N. Y. from various quarters. Gov. Clinton, $100—The wife of Colonel Albert Pawling of Troy, an elegant gold watch and trimmings—Students of Columbia College, $250, besides previous contributions—Peter Smith and son, of Madison co. $100—Two churches in Utica, $47—A Rochester, a gold ring, an order for 15 canisters of powder, several muskets, pistols, swords, &c.

And from Virginia, nothing as yet, but the contributions of the Blues of Richmond, and the Volunteers of Norfolk: which are the more brilliant from their singularity.—Will our citizens do nothing? No meetings—no committees—no collections at the churches—not even a "Greek ball?"

If we mean to do any thing, let us do it at once. Time is on the wing—let us give, while it may be of use to the Greeks.

To individuals, generosity—to our government, caution and discretion!
