The following account of the wretched and deplo- rable condition of thousands of tine inhabitants of Greece, is extracted from Dr. Howe's statement be- fore phianthropic meeting, lately held in New York, to devise for granting further relief to their unhappy fellow beings in the East. We can hardly conceive how a sensitive mind can read accounts like the following, without strong feelings of pty;- butpity alone did afford reefto the necessitous, ii only aggrevates it's woe. Be ye warmed, and beye clothed" never yet afforded shelter and covering for the furnishing wretch, whose misery could excite no deeper and more substantial emotions. The miser may pity-e covetousmay express sorrow at the des- aituon of others-but the benevolent only do them kindness. Several cargoeS of clothing and proyis- ions have already been sent to the wretched Greeks and they were received with acclamatons of joy and gratitude, which we, who have never been reduced 10 like situations with themselves neither sympa shse in express. Further relief is now preparing for them, to be sent out early this spring. Will not the inhabitants of this uny do something in this benevolent work.

 The situation of these refugees, princi- pally women and children, is indeed de- plorable, and not to be. conceived of by comparison with any misery as seen in this country. Perhaps l can give you the best idea of it, by describing one particu- lar place-say Napoli di Romania. A. round this town, besides its own numerous poor, are collected about 5000 miserable refugees who have fed from the devasta- ted villages, and live upon the sea shore in small huts or wigwams, built of bushes or mud, or in holes dug in the ground. Tn one of these huts you will find perhaps, widow and three or four children, without a table, chair or bed; sallow from long exposure; pale from famine: and with hardly sufficient clothing to cover their na- kedness. I have often seen children go- ing about with nothing-nothing but shirt cn-apd that too, ragged. | have known
