Venom, eldest son et Lord and Lady Vernon, having attained his majority oa Friday last, the event was celebrated with great njuicinge on the family estates in Cheshire, Dertqablm, and Nona, emberlend. The principal scene of the fsetivieirs was Pope tea, about five miles distant from Stockport, where, in the imsecliate vicinity of the old fatally mansion, are situate the va , usble coal fields known as the " Popsies sad Worth Collieries." The morning was ushered in by the firing of cannon, and the assemblage of the Unmet/7 and de pendents of the Vernon family, from the district around in the vicinity of the Popsies eolliwy offices, who having formed a inueession, in which about 2,M0 persona joined, proeseded to Beriowfield, the residence of Mr. Ash worth, Lord Vernon's agent, where the Hun. Mr. Versos was staying, and presented him with an addax's of magma whiA washed by en old retainer of the family. Toe address was signed by sc di l of 2,000 tereone, end the compliments which it es were suitably acknow ledged by Mr. Verson. The pence' who joined in the pro eessiun were subsequently regaled by a substantial dinner which was arranged in the schools which have been erected by the noble owner of the estates. The proceeding. of the day were brought to a close by a dieser which was given by the gentry and municipal dignitaries of the town and neigh bourhood to Mr. Verses.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4, 1850 . doned as a despots gave by Mr. Dreamt and hisi would-be cahmet esqtVeres. Other plans and pro acts in the nature of reprisals they mtate, 'tis true. o pat the whir Ina =Ron e y, and Be they suppose thereby force a dissolution parliament, there is nothing they may not, some fine evening, be found reedy to vote for. Numerous opportunities for wreaking this sort of vengeance they are likely to have, and sanguine are their anticipations of being able to turn them to party advantage. Numerically, they exceed the utmost strength of the whigs considerably. The re sult, therefore, as between the two sections. melt de pend altogether on the part which the Peelites and tidies* on each Aim qualities, may . detertnine to adopt. But be this se it may, protection , as a sub stantive question, has cased to be. To cap a climax, or barb a retrospective bantam it may for a time still linger in the die:anions of the House of Commons; but separate, positive, or practical utility, it no more possesses any longer than " our glorious protestant constitution," now of blessed memory. Protection has been formally and finally shelved. It has been put upon the superannuated list of questions. "It may or it may not" be called forth to appear en rhetorical parade at some future day, so the keeper of the country party's conscience coolly declared last Friday night. But what the probabilities were of even this rare and honorary demonstration he did not think it necessary to explain. His soul is occupied with other thoughts. " Sinking funds," " cheap capital," and " the vacci nation grievance," are paramount considerations just at present in the mind of the ex-protectionist cham pion. How is the soil of England to produce corn at a profit, and yield raised rents beside, if it is obliged to bear the burden of vaccination fees? It is manifestly impossible. If free trade be true, cries Mr. Disatzu, let the principle be applied to the small-pox. 'Tie a disease of foreign origin, and if it cannot be excluded altogether from the realm,—let those who have it pay for it. But in the moredasms of everlasting justice let not the soil of the kingdom be taxed in order th at the commercial multitude, who have no real stake whatever in the country, should be insured from the evil consequences of this imported disease. Disconsolate agriculturists lifted up their voice as though they would have cheered tree noble reatiment ; but the memory of their lately cherished but now cashiered protection rose instinctively, and in mate melancholy they refrained. Friday night's division may in itself be looked upon as decisive. A majority of English, a majo- rity of Scotch, and a majority of Irish members re fused to ascribe the agricultural depression, which prevails, to recent measures of free trade legislation. There can be and there will be no ri trogressiou ; and Lord STANLEY and Mr. DISRAELI are obviously but too sick of the insane cry they have raised, not to be nxious to sib it at any hazard. WE feel confident that not only now, but long since, the people of England would have taken serious measures far diminishing the weight of the National Debt, if assured, first, that the sums would be equally and justly levied for that purpose ; and secondly, that the diminution of the debt would be permanent, and not converted into new facilities end excures for borrowing. Is it not evident, that the old scheme of a Sinking Fund would never have been aoandoned, could.any government be relied upon to honestly administer and apply it ? It was the hopelessness and the inutility of extinguishing the debt that led such economists as Laird At.eitone to do away with the sham sinking fund, and to seek to alleviate the public burdens rather by lightening taxes than wiping off debt. The state of things which attracted the considera tion and produced the decision of Lord Antiwar has again occurred. There is a surplus ; and what is to be done with it ? The first question is whether the surplus is a casual, or a permanent one ? If it be merely casual, it is not worth while altcrir g fiscal arrangements, and repealing taxes one year to resuscitate them the next. But all the argumeies of Mr. C. VILLIERS, the boasts of Sir CHARLES WOOD, and the assurances of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, indicate the present development of industrial prosperity and consuming power as likely to continue. In that cue we have to consider whether no iniquitous and odious taxes press upon us, and produce the effect not merely of subtracting a certain portion of money from the people's pockets, but of at the same time crushing and preventing the creation of wealth, thus working harm, and destroying property double and treble the amount actually raised. To find such taxes we have but to look over the list of the Excise. To abolish these, and release certain portions of our industry from actual fetters, is not only justice, but economy—far greater economy than paying off a few millions of the national debt. If the object be, indeed, to improve the credit of the government, to give it an appearance of force in any negotiation with, or menace to, foreign countries., then, indeed, our government might like to show itself the contrary of the Russian, that is, paying debts whilst the other is incurring them. But where is the necessity for such display ? If England be as 1 temperate and firm, as powerful, it has little need to fear attack. At all events, the true way to meet rivalry, and even hostility, is to develop the industry and active resources of the country. A rivalry certainly exists between liberal and despotic powers at present, but it is a rivalry in which intelligence will do more than armies. It is a war which is far better to pro secute by taking off the taxes upon knowledge, than by raising the estimates. We trust, therefore, that Mr. COBDEN'S advise will be followed in making use of the three million sus., plus to reduce the excise duties, rather than going' with it into the market to buy up stock. It is quite irrelevant to compare this to a private cue. A gri vats creditor is always anxious to be paid, the par lie creditor deprecates it. Thus, unpressed, the country I has the liberty of consulting its interests. And, use less there could be a large, stable, and efficient plan' fur the sensible diminution of the debt, it is idle to peddle wither nibble at it, whilst the money might be more advantagously employed in setting 'free the cramped energies of the country's industry and in telligence. It certainly would be a halcyon state for the real property of this country, the holders of which encou raged and created the debt, it would certainly be good I management fur them to tax to the le termost—nay, overtax the active industry of the country, in order to create a yearly surplus. for the purpose of applying that surplus to the lightening of the debt. If, however, we demand a more equable distribution of taxation to mese the current expenses of the year, still more are we entitled to demand it in order to pay off the ex posers of the past. According to the "Liverpool Reform Tracts," et the 68 or 69 millions sterling of gross revenue raised on the people of this country, not more than one sixth or oce seventh is levied on property. The rest is taken from the profits of trade and industry, and from the wages of the labouring class, who pay from their scanty earnings the largest proportion of the thirty-seven millions of indirect taxation. It surely is not fair to set about paying off the national debt out of funds and resources thus levied, avowedly with a view to convenience not justice. The project of making the earning and the strue gling classes bear five-sixths of the burden, not only of current annual expenses, but of the debt incurred foe put wars and past politics,is somewhat akin to the legerdemain of Mr. DISRAELI, who would rid land I even of its local and special charges, on the verbal pretence of its being a raw material. If any obliging naturalist could discover for manufacturing industry a raw material which, without exhausting itself, would produce an annual produce—if such a sage could furnish a new and magic species of cotton, or iron or wool, which would send forth the manufac tured article, yet remain itself u the substance for an other year's production, then we opine that the manufacturer could have no valid objection to such a raw material being taxed. Such a raw material would, furnish rent; and, if it could be monopolised like land and endowed with political privileges, a rent far higher than could be warranted by productive re turns. Neither land nor capital can be considered as raw material. And land alone has a " margin," a source of wealth in the natural fertility of the soil, a source which in England as in most countries belonged to the , date. and was granted in hereditary right to indi viduals, on condition of their paying a certain por tion of that natural produce for the turposes of justice, of defence, of religion, and of supporting the poor. These are not taxes on raw material, hut charges on the natural productiveness of the Hail. And what the two sections of the protec tionists prepare either separately, as they did Ititt eilanwifs.

During the former there is, according to the best physicians, much irritability of the nervous system, frequent obscurity of vision, and oftentimes delirium. The appetite becomes voracious, and a certain spas ' medic energy gives to the diseased a semblance and a temporary sense of strength. But the more violent the feverish symptoms have ben, the more pitiable is the prostration when the shivering fit comes. All ap pearance of strength then vanishes. The sight is indeed restored, but the look is languid, and there seems to be "so speculation in those eyes " that lately flashed forth fire. The sufferer is diffident and dull. You cannot wing him into action by a taunt, or rouse him by a laugh. He owns without reserve that he is good for nought, thst he is unable to perform what he recently promised, and that he cannot bring him self to budge in any direction. Protectionism seems to be just now suffering all the miseries of a chilly fit. It sees clearly enough what is parsing around it, but it feels within itself no ability for action. Its teeth chatter, its Ip3 move, and it utters a low moaning sound of sad complaint, bat articulate expression of what it wants, there is none. All is confused, hysteric, and unintelligible. When re minded of the stung h it still retains, it shakes its head despondingly, and intimate. its profound belief that "there is no health in it." Does a friend venture to predict encouragingly that this lamentable depres- sion will soon pass away, the only response is one declarative of disbelief that one who feels so miser able ever can grow better. And when re minded of having formerly had many similar visitations, which • little courage, rather than any patent or quack nostrums had thrown off, shollow sigh is heaved, and mutterings are heard which seem to intimate a hope rather than an expec tation that Heaven will forgive such mockery of superhuman woe ! And truly we must say that there see something savouriog of inhumanity in the speech wherewith Mr. COBDEN wound up the debate of Friday night. With total disregard to the sensibilities of country gentlemen, who for many months have been in an inflammatory state of expectancy that as soon as parliament should meet sqrnethiny would be done, or, at least, attempted, for their peculiar gratification—with total disregard, we say, to the highly excited maiden of this credulous clam, Mr. Coeur."' told them in the most painfully plain terms that they _had been regularly and thoroughly doss. He laughed outright at the fumbling after rea sons, and jumbling of pretexts for not coming to the point, which their wily leader had manifested. He earnestly recommended them, for tbeir own poor sakes, not to lie trembling and shivering any longer ; but if they knew or could tell what they imagined would set them right, to say, or hmist ea their great karts saying for them, what they view et, and what they waisted. He bid them vemember how ringing end :dear their great tongue mold be on occassons,—what a peal it could send forth whoa unmufßed, what piercing tones they had beard from it formerly. But the Cation bell is cracked; an open split severe it in twain ; and for liar the dismal fact of dissonance should be too widely proclaimed, the great tongue has been tied up, so that it can only utter a soothing and benumbing sound. Ina wad, it ham Inmate plain from the debate oa the eddies', that a return to protection bee been alma- at • aunty meetings, or conjointly, u they hive done in parliament, is either to be allowed to raise the relative value of the productiveness by means of a monopoly which would curtail the neesesaries of life, or to shake off the charges which land has im memorially paid. We Must that parliament and the country will never listen to either the one or the other. Aad we host moreover, that instead of relieving the land of these charges, it will institute a new and more equable system of taxation, not only for meeting cur rent expenses, but liquidating a portion at least et the enormous burden of the debt. BELGIUM. DEFEAT OF THE BRIIBBELB, Fn. 2. Government have been defeated on the corn ques tion, the Chamber having voted, this evening (just before post-hour), in favour of a fixed duty on wheat of one franc. The debate on the duties on rye, cattle, &c., is adjourned. The proposition of the government was to prolong for one year the hitherto existing duty of 50e. (5d.) on all kinds of corn. The general impression is, that the Chamber will vote for a less duty than one franc on rye. FRANCE. PARIS, SirviDAT, 6.30 P.M. The communication made by Austria and Prussia to the French cabinet respecting the occupation of Switzerland is lengthy. It seeks to rove that Switzerland by its aggressive position has abandoned that neutrality which it was enabled by treaties to usume; that the incemant efforts of democratic pro paganda, exercised as it is at the very doors of Prussia and Austria, obliges those powers to keep on foot an immense military force, namely, 600,000 men for the latter, and 490,000 for the former ; that the expenses required to keep up such military forces are sources of grievous financial burdens ; that unless the present state of things ceases the peace of Germany cannot be ensured, and recourse must be had to the occupa tion either of Baden, Saxony, or Wurtemberg ; that the peace of North Italy is also seriously endangered by perpetual threats of aggression on that side of the Swiss frontier; and that the powers have therefore decided to require the expulsion from the Swiss territory of all the refugees. Hopes are confidently entertained that Switzerland will yield to the demand; but in case of refusal force will be used and recourse will be had to military occupation, to expel the refugees. After announcing this intention, the joint communication of the powers condescends to ask for French cooperation in the matter, but ex presses a determination to proceed at once without its sanction, in case of refusal. Such are the demauds of the two northern powers —such their pretensions against Switzerland. And y,t the confederation hes done all to please absolutism. It expelled the chiefs of the Baden insurrection ; abandoned to revenge unfortunate teen, who were protected by no amnesty ; it violated, in the most flagrant manner, the right of asylum. But, in the eyes of the absolutist powers, this is not enough. That course which Switzerland has pursued in cer tain cases only must be extended to all, and its weak ness in violating tLe right of asylum in respect of • few must lead to the same violation in the ease of all the refugees. In the Chamber yesterday reference was made to the Greek question by M. Placatory, who asked leave ' to address interpellations to the minister of foreign affairs on the events which had lately taken place in Greece; at the request of the minister, the matter was postponed for a week. To day M. Lamartine was present at the Assembly. It is his first epee trance tbere since his illness. Tt3o debate was kept on the subject of transferring the seat of the prefecture of the Loire from 'Nlontbrisan to St. Etienne. The police were very active yesterday in removing the dead trees of liberty, and also many living ones, which impeded circulation, or were considered by the authorities to disfigure the public places where they had been planted. Those of the Place de la Bourse were cut down yesterday morning. One of them being a living tree, and in a situation to cause no ob struction, its removal produced some agitation. There was during the day a crowd at the spot, and some persons endeavoured to create excitement by declaring that the removal of the tree was an insult to the re public. Their language, however, found little echo in the crowd. Some time before his death the celebrated Jacques Laffitte informed his family that he had written - his memoirs, and that they would be found among his papers. A dissension subsequently arose between M. Ney de la Moakowa, his son-in-law, and Madame Laffitte, his widow, as to the povession of the manu script, and the civil tribunal decided that until the question should be settled the manuscript should be neposited in the hands of a notary. In June last Madame Laffitte died; and yesterday M. Ney de la ‘loskowa caused an application to be made to the pre sident of the civil tribunal for authorisation to receive the manuscript. The president immediately granted the demand. SrXDLT, 11 ♦.M. The ministry was defeated last evening on the motion for translating the seat of prefectural govern ment in the Loire, from Montbrison to St. Etienne. The chamber, in hostility to the executive, voted the statu quo, General Changarnier forming one of the majority against government. The 10th of March is decidedly fixed (says the Amorallee Nationale) as the day on which the Aus trians and Prussians enter Switzerland, in case the demands made on the federation are not satisfied. A supplement to the Portalaglio Maltese, of the 26th ult., brings news front Smyrna. The French fleet had set sail for Athens when news was received of the English movement at the Pitteus. It is said that the French government had de spatched M. Drouyn de L'Huys to London, as ambas sador of the republic, on en extraordinary mission. With respect to the news of the rupture between England and Greece, the Napoleon says : —" . . We are inclined t•s think that the English minister at Athens has exceeded his instructions, for we cannot under- stand that the government of Great Britain should not have madethe French goverment aware of such ♦iolent measures, especially after the imposing good understanding which was shown by the simultaneous appearance in the east of the English and French fleets. The Napoleon, speaking of Switzerland, says: • - • - - . - A great deal has been said about a communication made to the French government by the representa tives of Austria and Prussia, for the purpose of coming to an understanding with respect to the consequences of the right of asylum granted in Switzerland to the refugees. That communication has not, we believe, all the importance that has been attrthated to it. The pewees bounding upon Switzerland 'reanimated with • very natural denies to prevent the refugees from profiting by the ir neigh bourhood to revolutionize their own states; and they have the inconteatible right to take measures to prevent that danger. But France is not disposed, in any cue, to deny the rights of her ancient ally, and the friendship which unites the two nations. Besides this, could the President of the Republic forget the hospitality which he received in Switzerland during so great a number of years, and the pro tection with which that power covered him against the un just pretensions of the government of Louis Philippe ? Our Paris parcel of 7eeterday evening had not arrived at the hoar of going to prose. CLIROT ORPHAN CORPORATION.—On Saturday afternoon the 100th annual general meeting of this society was held at the Freemasons' Timm. The object of this so ciety is to maintain and educate the orphans of poor clergy men until they are capable of providing fur themselves. The Right Rev. the Bishop of London took the chair. The minutes of the previous meetings having been read and con , firmed, the Rev. Dr. Rummell read the financial statement. from which it appeared that the income of the society for the past year, from ell sources, only amounted to 4,600/., while the expenditure fur the same period was 6,3001., leaving balance &pleat the society of 7001. On the motion of Bir B. R. Inglis, the Right Rev. the Bishop of London was re• elected president for the ensuing year. In returning thanks, the rev. prelate took occasion to deplore that after having been for so many years connected with the society, le should see the claims upon its benevolence increasing and the means of meeting throe claims so rapidly diminishing. On the mo• Con of Archdeacon Jones, Sir R. R. laglis was selected vimpreeident, after which Ave boys and sight girls were elected into the schools of the society at St. John's-wood, making the number at present in that establishment amount to 163, namely, 76 girls, and 77 boys. FIRE AT ST. GEORGE'S WORKHOUSE.—On Satur day shortly after noon, a fire broke ont in the workhouse of St. George the Martyr, Mouthwark, which was promptly sub dued by the iumati s and the brigade firemen. It was ascer tained that the lire originated in a quantity of straw used for casual paupers' bedding. Very little damage was done. SPAIN. MADRID, JA!. 27. During the debate upon the authorisation to levy the taiss was then gone on with, Olivan made a long speech in defence of the measure. He said that the impracticable amendments proposed by the moderado opposition, and the economical doctrines they had maintained proved that this new party was unfit for power, either through ignorance or because they had engaged themselves to reforms and retrenchments quite im possible. They would find themselves embarrassed by the speeches and promises they had made when they were in opposition. The honourable deputy then made a minute examination of the amendments presented by the opposition. and concluded by saying that the retrenchments proposed would lead, like all inexpedient retrenchments, to greater expense. The deputy Coin, then attempted to speak, to rectify, as he used some parts of his former speech. He had, however, to do with Count Vista Hermosa, who is to Narvaez what Jockey of Norfolk was to King Richard 111. Vista Hermosa is the President of the chamber, and a man who eschews long speeches. Every time Coira " returned to his old banes, digres sion," the Vice-President rung his bell, and called bim to order, so that at length the orator or rather talker eat down in dudgeon. The same thing hap pened to Gonzalo Moron, who, like Coira, has not the talent of condensing. The chamber and the public were extremely amused at the per severing talk of the one, and the clamorous bell and calling to order of the other. Rios Roses then obtained leave to speak, and began to address himself very warmly to the president, who, he said permitted ministerial orators to be as diffuse as they thought proper, but interrupted opposition speakers at every moment. This observation led to a scene between the vice-president and the honourable deputy, who then went on with his speech against the bill. He was succeeded by Gonzalez Bravo, who also was repeat edly interrupted by the ringing of the vice-presi dent's bell, the latter declaring that he would perse vere in the present system, or the discussion would last till doomsday. Gonzalez Bravo said that he would oppose the government with a view of mak ing it take the right path, but that he wculd not enter into any coalitiou to overthrow it, as Rios Roses another of the moderado opposition had I declared he would do. He thought that at present, as a general election was coming on, that it was expe dient to make this statement. This gave rise to come sharp retorting of Rios Roses, and Olivan, in his reply, said they should like to see where was the ma privy of this ever disputing minority. The minister for the home department then mentioned his inten tion to speak, but the vice-president adjourned the house. ITALY. ROMAN STATES.—The public trial of Cernuscbi commenced at Rome on the 23rd ult. The court was crowded to suffocation : it is supposed the trial will last several days. He is accused—lst, of having published proclamations against the French during the siege ; 2ndly, of having damaged the palace Far nese ; 3rdly, of having squandered immense sums for the erection of barricades; 4thly, of having been a party to the Roman revolution, and to the proclama tion of the republic; 3thly, of having attempted to excite the people against the French on the day of their entering Rome; Othly, of having taken up a flag at the Cup Nuoro, and pacing himseif at the head of the people, in order to insult the French on the piazzs. Colonna. It is generally believed, however, that, whether condemned or acquitted, he will be sent to Paris. Several ex-officers of the Roman troops have been arrested at Rome. A letter from that city of the 24th states, on the strength of a rumour that has gained general credit there, that in virtue of an agree ment with the Spanish government, the Island of Formenten (one of the Balearic group) is to be granted to the Order of Malta, to establish its go vernment there. Part of the members of the order are to inhabit Rome for the defence of the Sovereign Pontiff. GERMANY. BERLIN, 31. The four members returned for Berlin to the Erturt parliament are Count Brandenbur g, Baron Manteuffel, Minister of Interior, Bodelechwingh, the old bre-March minister, and Count Bulow, the under secretary of the Foreign-office, and minister to Hanover. No elections to Erfurt have taken place in the Duchy of Baden, probably because it is foreseen by the authorities that no electors would present them selves. The influence of Austria is spoken of as supreme with the court of the Grand Duke, and the secession of Baden from the Prussian league appears imminent. Yesterday a conference took place between the presidents of both chambers, and the ministers, in order to deliberate on the form of oath, or rather on the form of the ceremonial fur taking the oath to the constitution by his Majesty. :By Electric Telegraph,} We have received by electric telegraph information from our Berlin corre-pondent a day later than that contained in the last letter. He informs us that the King has sent a new meg we to the Chambers, in which he states that he will take the oath to the constitution on Wednesday next. The royal message is published in the official gazette, together with the proclamation of the revised con,ti , tution. In the royal message his Majesty expresses regret that the Chambers should have rejected the proposition respecting entails. TRANSYLVANIA.—The news from Transyl vania becomes every day more and more distre.slng. Klausenburg, and the country round it, is given up to the tender mercies of Colonel Urban, whose only idea of government seems to be the plentiful applica tion of the knout. The wife of a respectable lawyer, of the name of Ceat, was lately condemned to be flogged in the market-place, for having concealed her son-in-law, who hadserved as an officer in the 'limo- rian army. As the poor woman was led forth she took down the portrait of Kossuth from the wall, pressed it to her heart, and thus prepared went on with the firmness and dignity of a martyr to suffer for the cause of her country. Fortunately the regimental surgeon interfered, and declared her too weak to bear the punishment, on which she was sen: to hard labour in the common prison. I leave you to guess the impression this scene must have made on a population among whom there is not a family, from the wealthiest noble to the poorest burgher, where similar crimes, if crimes they are, have not been committed. SEltVlA.—Matters have come to that page in Sur via that drumhead court-martial (standrreht) has been proclaimed. The difference between standrrehe and krieysrechf is, that the former dispenses even with the little ceremony obe-rued in martial law, as the com mon duration of a trial by standrecht is three minutes, and a corporal is made master of life and death, death sentences being executed instantly. Courts of this sort are ambulant, and holdable when convenient on any spot. INSURRECTION IN WALLACHIA. Letters from Constantinople, dated the 12th Jan., state that the Wallachians were again in arms under Tanks, but this time against the Austrians. fhe whole of Transylvania was said to be on the eve of insurreetion. Kossuth and the refugees were ex pected at Brouasa the following week. General Guyon, who, in September, 1819, had made application to Lord Ponsonb7 respecting his wife and children, and had never received any answer direct or indirect from hie lordship, has at length re ceived intelligence respecting them from the Foreign office. Prince Schwartzeaberg, he is informed, had written two letter., stating is one that Countess Guyon and her children had been taken to Preaburg, where the government provided for her subsistence and the edu cation other children, as she was totally destitute. Not only the estates of Guyon and of his lady have been confiscated by the Austrian government, but 2,0001. settled on her had been 'cited, and after this Prince Schwartzenberg boasts of her being supported by the liberality of government ; and even this, on his own evidence. turns out to be a falsehood, as in a second ltttrr he admits that he does not know where Coun tess Guyon and her children are, but must write to liaynau to ascertain. GREECE. The Morning Poaf gives the following offi e i.,/ planation of the blockade of Greece : We believe we an just:fled in stating that the informere.' which has reached us and most of our coatemj e „„ through the usual public channels f rom Athens is, in se e ,,, i important particulars, erroneous.

It was Weenie the middle of last month. After this Sir Thomeo Wyse requested sg into rview with M. London, the minister Inc foreign Wain,' which was granted. The British minister wasu, secomp,l by Sir W.

He hoped that the tunity of Sir William Parker's presence would a IM ce I3 seized upon for this act of tardy but yet voluntary because the alternative would be that the British edin. n i would not leave the Piraeus until the matter shtul finally arranged. The reply of M. London was to the effeet that, hssitz r. neatly entered upon office, he was not prepared to Rm.., answer or even opinion on the instant. He added that e t would consult his colleagues and take the pleasure of 91. king I Accordingly, on the mrrrnw M.

The document was then read, and it prAtl le. peremptory refusal. Upon this Sir Thomas Wyte sod an offishl note to M. London, presenting the dens , .
