Several pupils of the Piraeus Military School, who intended to go secretly to Candle, have been arrested. Greek troops have been concentrated on the Turkish frcntier. The Greek government has sent another note to the protecting powers against the arrest of Greek soldiers in Candle. Great popular agitation prevails in Athens against Kalergis. The Greek government has ordered a considerable number of rifles in France. TRIESTE, Nov. 24. Intelligence received here from Cantlilt states that the position occupied by the Cretans, near Askynhos, has not yet been attacked by Mustapha Pacha. An encounter had taken place near Goina• CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. The latest official intelligence from Candia states that the pacification of the island is nearly accom plished ; but that the districts of Mylopotamo, Aivassili, and Malevoria still offer resistance. Fresh eases of cholera have occurred in Con stantinople. CORFU, Nov. 24. Intelligence received here from Candia, and derived from Greek sources, announces that a fresh engagement has taken place between the Turkish troops and the insurgents under Coronet.) and Korata, resulting in the defeat of the Turks, with a loss of 3,000 killed and 2,000 taken prisoners. The insurgents are also stated to have gained a victory near Askypho. It is believed that Muatapha Pacha has been recalled, and that he will be replaced by Omar Pacha. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 25. Five fresh battalions of Egyptian troop' are said have been despatched from Alexandria to the Island of Candia. THE EXTRADITION TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND ENGLAND. PARIS, Nov. 25. In consequence of an understanding between the English and French governments, the Extradition Treaty of 1843, which expires on the 4th December next, will continue in force until the beginning of I September, 1867. HUNGARY. PESTH, Nov. 24. At a difference of members of the Hungarian Diet, held at the residence of M. Deak, to discuss the course that should be pursued with reference to the royal rescript, M. Deak made a speech, in which he said, that from the point of view of the " continuity of rights," the rescript afforded far greater cause for hope than had hitherto existed. He moved an address to the King, praying that the laws of 1848 should be re-established, and de claring that the Diet would not fail to take into consideration the wishes expressed by the King. The proposed address would further declare that the committee on common affairs should continue its labours and lay their result before the house. M. beak's motion was accepted by those present. MTH, Nor. 25. The members of the Left, at a meeting held at their club to-day, resolved not to take part in the deliberations of the committee on common affairs until a Hungarian Ministry shall have been con stituted. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 25. Intelligence received here from Constantinople denies the statement recently published relative to a proposed fusion between the Roman catholic and orthodox Greek churches. The statement that the Great Powers had addressed a note to the Porte relative to the Ratti humaioum of the Sultan on the position of the Christians in Turkey is also declared to be false.. THE EMPRESS OF MEXICO. TRIESTE, Nov. 24. Intelligence received here from Miramar states that the condition of the Empress Charlotte re mains unchanged, and that the statement that her Majesty had shown symptoms of lung disease is devoid of foundation. A consultation of physicians will be held at Miramar to-day. The Trieste journals state that the Emperor Maximilian is expected in December. 'NATIONAL EDIICATION.—The Hon. H. A. Bruce M.P., has published in a pamphlet, at Ridgway's, the Address on National Education which he delivered at Manchester last month before the Association for the Promotion of Social Science. The address was well worth republication in this form. A collection of the speeches of successive Vice-Presidents of the Committee of Council on Education on that subject during the last sic or seven years would be very useful for many purposes; among others for showing the direction which opinion uniformly takes among cultivated laymen, when the question of " National Education" is studied under public responsi bilities. THE NEUTRALITY LAWS COMMISSION.—We have reason to believe that the arrangements connected with the formation of the It yal Commission upon the Neutrality Laws are so forward that the commission will be able to proceed to business very shortly. Although without any official authority for saying so, we believe it will be found that the following gentlemen have been communicated with by the government, and will be, in all probability, among the members of the commission, viz., Lord Houghton, Sir RoundeU Palmer, late Attorney-General; Sir R. Phillimore, the Queen's Advocate ; Dr. Travers Twiss, Q.C. ; Mr. W. H. Gregory, M.P. ; and Mr. W. Vernon Harcourt, Q.C. As has been already announced, Lord Crsnworth will be the president.—Suaday Gazette.

It has come, no matter how, to my knowledge men in repose at Rome should not be reinforced. that the Duke de Persigny, who, though now out o f Rome is extraordinarily deserted by ordinary office, must ever be considered as a minister in posse, visitors this year, and it is a questionable console and who after repeated rebuffs and disgraces has tion to the proprietors of empty hotels and to frequently shown that he maintains a greater per- forlorn shopkeepers to hear that four or five illus sonal influence with the Emperor than any other trious British statesmen are engaged in what a subject can pretend to, lately sought and obtained good-natured French adviser of the Pope called an interview with his Majesty at Compikgne.

An English acquaintance conference lasted an hour and a half—a sufficient whom I met this morning told me that he „was all time for a voluble man like M. de Persigny but alone in his hotel--one of the best in Rome; to touch upon a vast number of subjects. He made and that the cook was so demoralized by his enforced a clean breast, and fully possessed his sovereign with idleness, that in spite of daily and emphatic re the views which he, as a Privy Councillor, and his monstrances he would persist in sending up oldest intimate adherent, thought right to press dinners which could only be accepted as satirical upon his consideration.

There is, I also repeat, not the slightest truth in the report that France will seek to prolong the occupation. Her only object now is to get away as quickly and as decently as possible. But so formidable is the power of the Juariat troops, which, as long as the farce was kept up, the Mimiteur and Cow& tutionttel told the world were utterly anni hilated, that it will not be easy for the French troops in Mexico city to get safely to their French r egiments have it on good authority that several French regiments echeloned on the road to Vera ITALY. The fracas which took place about three weeks since on board one of the Kingston and Holyhead mail packets b rtween Mr. Reardon, M.P., and Mr. Wedge, and which was the subject of an adjour ned investigation before the magistrate at Marylebone Police-court, boa been through the instrumentality of s mutual friend arranged to the satisfaction of both gentlemen. On Tuesday next, when the summons is returnable o n adiournment, there will not be any appearance on either side.—Smaday Gazette. CRYSTAL. rAuacz.

When we lately noticed the movement in r particular militia regiment to collect funds for Mr. Eyre some of our correspondents expressed an opinion that there must be a mistake in the an nouncement, and were slow to believe that the military organization of the country had been used for such a purpose.

CHARMS BUXTON, M.P. The following correspondence is published in the Daily News: Admiralty, Nov. 22. Dear Mr. Buxton,—At the close of your letter to the Daily News of yesterday, introducing your correspondence with Lieutenant Brand, R.N., you say, " It has been lately stated that Lieutenant Brand has been promoted by the present adruinistratien." I cannot suppose that you intended any unfairness by this addition to your letter, but I think you must see that such a reference to the supposed promotion, appearing, as it does, on the same page with Lieutenant Brand's shame fulletters, must be, in effect, very prejudicial to the Board of Admiralty. I therefore venture to submit to you that I have some reason to complain of your having published such a state ment without having previously ascertained how far it was unded. I had not seen or heard of the statement till I read your letter, and I beg to inform you that it is entirely untrue. I cannot conclude without expressing my great regret that you have been insulted and annoyed by receiving from en officer of the Royal Navy such letters as those you have very properly made public. I cannot help still clinging to a hope that you have been imposed upon by some hoax, but you will see in the news paper that if Lieutenant Brand is unable to deny that he is the writer, he will be immediately superseded.—l remain, dear Mr. Buxton, yours truly, (Signed) JOHN S. PAKINGT.)N.. Mr. Charles Buxton, ,M.P. P.S.—I shall await your answer before publishing this letter. (Copy.) Fox Warren, Cobham, 23d Nov., D 1416. Dear Sir John,--I regret very much that I attributed Limit. Brand's advancement to the present administration. My words were—" It has been lately stated that Lieut. Brand has been promoted by the present administration?' This referred to a statement to that effect which appeared in some of the newspapers about a fortnight ago, and which met with no contradiction. I find that Lieut. Brand was promoted from the com mand of a mere tender belonging to the Aboukir to the command of her Majesty's gunboat Delight by the late Board of Admiralty. Thanking you sincerely for the kind expressions which your letter contains I remain, dear Sir John, yours truly, (Signed) CHARLES BUXTON. LIEUTEIVANT BAMARAND'S A. FUNCTIONS IN JIC - - In his letter to Mr. Buxton, Lieutenant Brand denies that he selected the parties to be placed on their trial before him. Him words are, "My duty was to try those and those only who were sent for trial by my supe rior, and every verdict was subject to the approval and confirmation of the officer convening the court." A correspondent of the Examiner has pointed out that this was by no means the fact. It is perfectly cleat, from his own and General Nelson's evidence before the commission. that Cordon's was the only case specially submitted to the court over which he presided, and the only case revised by his superior. His duty was to try all such prisoners or accused persons as were brought in ; and the charges and modes of proceeding appear to have been settled and arranged between Provost-Marshal Ramsay and himself. Thus, Blue Book, p. 657 : I always asked the Provost-Marshal. He brought in a prisoner, and 1 wrote his name aad asked what erns the clutrye. Some were charged with murder, some with com mon rebellion without murder, some with being found with stolen property, and so on. I had the witness in, and before I proceeded with the case I used to look at the witness, to see whether it was worth while proceeding with the case or not After that tee had a A i )14 of firand jury. I asked every man what he had to say, and if he had anything to gay referring to the case I would have him sworn and take hie evidence ; hut if he made a long rambling statement about somebody's hog, I should not take it, and I should gay, " Have you F ot heftedoevidence, Mr. Ramsay?" and if he said " Iso," I would say, " Discharge him." This distinctly negatives the supposition that only named or specified persons, with distinct or specified charges, were brought before him. When most of what were deemed capital cases were dis posed of, Mr. Brand proposed to General Nelson (who as sented) to have • sort of general gaol delivery, and he accordingly repaired with two other gentlemen to the gaol. Their proceedings (Blue Book, p. 633) were summary: Do you remember what number of the men that were released at the time were flogged ?—No, it quite depended if they got a good character. If the governor or boatswain of the gaol gave them a good character, they were sent away with the pass ; but if they had a bed them , the charactey got r, or sonic one yea there to say something agai nst their flogging and were sent away. That was when there was evidence, I suppose ?—Always some evidence. The boatswain or governor knew all their characters very well. By whose order were they flogged !—By the order of all three of us. Yourself, and who were the others ?—Mr. Adcock and Mr. Taylor, of the Sixth. You three decided the respective cases ?—PIC derided. and the men received their punishment, and were sent away with • warning. No superior officer, had be been so minded, could have revised any sentence besides Gordon's, for want of sufficient notes. In point of fact the sentences were almost invariably executed without hesitation or delay— and most commonly in the most revolting manner. Mr. Buxton's statement is substsatially correct throughout.

These entertainments have this year run a longer C ourse than usual Commencing on August b, they have been continued until the end of the past week, when the Royal Italian Opera-house closed, in order to give full time for the preparation of the pantomimic amusements pro. jected for the coming Christmas holidays. The following address was circulated by Mr. Mellon on the termination of his present series of concerts : Ladies and Gentlemen, —Having arrived at the 96th and last night of my present aeries of concerts, I embrace the opportunity of thanking you and the public generally foe the liberal support and patronage with which I have been honoured. Your continued kindness has induced and emboldened me to undertake the production of • new grand Christmas pantomime in this theatre, which I trust will be found to equal if not surpass in splendour and magnificence the famed productions of pact seasons. No e ff ort of mine will be wanting to enhance the reputation this theatre enjoys for such • class of performance ; and I hope that, aliould I succeed in producing the usual Christmas entertainment to your satisfaction, you will extend to me that favour I have hitherto been honoured in receiving. In acknowledging the kind and generous support I have for many years re ceived at your hands, and by which I have been enabled at my sole risk and personal responsibility to carry on the oonovis for the past six years, I trust I may be permitted to solicit an extension of your kind patronage to my new venture in theatrical management. Permit um, then. moat respectfully to bid you farewell, and to indulge the hope that I may anticipate the pleasure of a renewal of our acquaintance on Boxing-night, December 26th. • Drama. OLYMPIC. The popularity of Goethe's Faust at Drury-lane has encouraged Mr. Horace Wigan to revive an old Strand burlesque by Mr. J. Milford, which was first produced, we believe, in 1854, when Faust anti Atar!nurite was so Ole mogul at the Ptincess' Theatre. Mr. Milford, as he tells us in the playbill, has modernised and revised his work, and in these alterations he has unquestionably bad in view the Drury-lane version of the poem. The burlesque, as it now stands, is more remarkable for the closeness with which it parodies the original Faust, excluding the two prologues, than for the brilliancy of its dialogue or the smoothness of its versification. In many ',tuts it resew. bless a free and easy translation snore than a travestie o the accepted type, although few of the well-worn tricks of Strand burlesque have been omitted. Faust is of course represented by the liveliest lady in the company, Miss Farren and equally, of course, the gentle Marguerite is repre sented by a gentleman and low comedian, Mr. Dom"tick Murray. The usual jigs, " break-downs," and music-hall ditties are tianoed and sung in the various scenes, and Marguerite is seren►ded by a band of Ethiopians. Mr. Vincent is Mephistophiles, and tho minor characters are fairly represented. Mr. Dominick Murray will doubtless take - it as a compliment when we tell him that we think he has not quite learnt the trick of burlesque sitting. His Mar guerete is not vulgar enough, and his falsetto singing and speaking is a painful mistake. He should talk like a coal heaver, and sing like a basso at Evans's. Mr. Horace Wigan has put the piece on the stage with great taste and liberality, if we except the lest scene, and Mr. Tully by provided it with excellent diversified music. It is not so ambitious an effort as the /nod produced by Mr. F. C. Burnand a season or two ago at the St. James's, but when it has a considerable portion of the p caching taken out of it, it is likely to be tolerably successful. TIIE YELLOW 1 'EI ER. Her Majesty's government hai received further information through the Foreign-ottice respecting the vessel Empress Eugenie, which was placed under ipiaran tine at St. Nazaire on the 19th inst., in consequence of en outbreak of yellow fever on her passage Irons Vera Cruz- It appears that on the '22nd November the vessel was still at St. Nazaire, and that there was no longer any sickness on board, Nu fresh case had occurred since her arrival in port. The deaths which took place on the passage were six or seven in number. The remaining caeca recovered without difficulty. The duration of the quarantine bad been fixed at five days for the passengers, who were re moved for that period to a health ship (Navire lazaret) which was stationed at St. Naraire, and at seven days for the crew, who were considered to be more exposed to infec tion. For additional security orders were given to purify the vessel completely. The ipianuitiue for the crew dated from such purification (effected about the instant), but for the passengers it commenced about 24 hours after arrival. - -- • The Royal Mail steam-packet Tym. , , from the West Indies, anived at Southampton on Sattmlay, the 24th inst., for repairs, with a crew of ninety-one persons, but without p.uisengtrs.

THE PRINCE OF %VALES AT TIIE PETERSBURG TilF.ATItg.-00 the Itlth there was a state viait to the theatre at St. Peterahurg. The Emperor entered leading by his band the youthful consort of his son. She wore a white dress studded with pink hearts, and adorned with a red sash over her right shoulder. '' The light," says a correspondent, " played on the stones of her diadem, and happiness was reflected in her dark lustrous eyes as she timidly advanced to the front of the imperial box. Power and beauty thus exhibiting themselves in rare union, the house broke into jubilant hurrahs, giving three times thrse in well measured, long sustained shouts. All this time the Emperor stood in the centre of the box holding his new daughter by his nand, present ing her to the public, and bowing repeatedly in acknow went of the enthusiastic welcome. Before the hurrahs had ceased his son, the husband of the Dineen, her Danish brother, her English brother-in-law, and with them all the members of the imperial family had appeared in the box, ranging themselves behind the royal couple in I front. only the Empress was absent, she being India , posed. At the end of the British Anthem the Emperor gave the Prince of Wales his right hand, and, leading him half a step forwards, together with the royal representa tive of Great Britain, again bowed thanks for the mark of respect bestowed upon his guest. The performance of the Danish hymn, with its roUieg refrain (Coto Christian atoll red hail.); mast), which succeeded, was equally ac knowledged by the Crown Prince of Denmark. Cheers thundered again through the house, when, at the end of this noble and significant ceremony, Mx Ma jesty, courteously kissing the hand of his lovely daughter, conducted her to the central seat of the box. With him sill the members of the imperial family, as well as their royal gu=ts, seated themselves. In the middle of this r wreath of illustrious personages were prominent the Prin ce= Maria Feodorowna, her husband, and the Emperor. To the Emperor's right at the Prince of Wales, with the Grand Duchess Michael es his beautiful neighbour for the evening ; to the Cessrevitch's left the Grand Duchess Constantine, with the Crown Prince of Denmark at her aide.
