The leading country markets he'd on Saturday were firm for wheat, and prices had an upward tendency. Fine bar ley was scarce, and in fair request, at full prices ; but other kinds were very dull. Beans, peas, and flour sold heavily, on former terms. Throughout the continent, very little has been passing in wheat for export, and the demand for all kinds of spring corn has become less active. In the United States, the markets are tolerably firm. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were only moderate. From abroad, we received 6,600 quarters of wheat, 26,800 barley, 27,655 oats, 9,565 beans, 317 tares, 7,110-lingeed, 13,113 rapeseed, 130 mustard seed, 4,190 sundry, 275 sacks and 1,319 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of wheat from Kent, coast wise, and by land carriage, were limited. From Essex, &c., the receipts were on a very moderate scale, hence the show of samples was small. The attendance of millers being on the increase, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, at an advance in the quotations rea lised on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. Good and fine samples were in improved request at very full prices. All other kinds sold slowly, yet late rates were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were held at extensive rates. A large quantity of inferior foreign barley was on show, and it met a dull inquiry, on rather easier terms. Fine malting samples were quite as dear as last week. We had a very dull sale for malt, at the late fall in value. Oats, though in full average supply, changed hands steadily, and in some instances, fine samples were 6d per quarter dearer. Beans and peas moved off slowly, and last week's prices barely supported. The flour trade was firm, at full quotations. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Ceylon, Captain R. W. Evans, with the heavy portion of the mails from India and China, in charge of Lieutenant Striven, R.N., Admi ralty agent, arrived at Southampton on Satur day, at 6 p.m. She left Alexandria on the 19th ult., Malta the 23d, and Gibraltar the 27th. Be tween Alexandria and Malta the Ceylon experi enced very heavy north-westerly gales ; from Malta to Gibraltar westerly winds, and north-easterly winds along the coasts of Spain and Portugal and across the Bay. This steamer brought 60 passengers (36 first. class, 17 second, and 7 children.) On freight she had precious stones value 13,700 rupees, 1,542 bales of silk, 1 case of rough diamonds, 6 boxes of silk piece goods, 2 boxes of specimens, 1 case of silver ornaments, 1 case of shawls, 19 cases of machinery, 39 packages of elephants' tusks, 106 boxes of oranges, and 173 packages of general merchandise. At Alexandria on the 19th ult., were the French war-steamer Chaptal, the usual Egyptian fleet, the American sloop of-war, Macedonian, the Austrian steamer Austria, and the English steamers Arcadia and Lebanon. Her Majesty's ships Marlborough, Conqueror, Centurion, Euryalus, Caradoc, Recruit, Coquette, and Tartarus were at Malta on the 23d. CURRENCY PER, IMPERIAL MEASURE.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COU_RT. (This Day.) OLD COURT. The January sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning, before the Lord Mayor the Right Hon. D. W. Wire, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, &c. The calender, owing to the shortness of the time since the court last met, only contained the names of 54 prisoners for trial. The Recorder, in addressing the grand jury, said he had to congratulate them on the lightness of the calendar, which contained the smallest number of names of persons for trial he ever remembered. There wore two cases of manslaughter, but they were of such a nature that no difficulty would be occasioned by them. In one case the deceased fell, after having been struck, and received such other injuries that death resulted, so the question the jury would have to con sider was the intent of the prisoner when the blow was struck: The other case was that of a person who partici pated in the prize fight at Abbey Wood. One of the offenders was tried last session, but he had to inform them that a person who took part in such a transaction was as amenable to the law as the principals. Those were the only cases he need refer to, but if any unforeseen difficulty should arise, the Court would render every assistance in its power. The grand jury then retired, and some true bills having been returned, the trial of prisoners was proceeded with. FORGERY ON TILE UNION BANK . Glendinning was indicted with forging and uttering a cheque upon the Union Bank for the payment of £259, with intent to defraud. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mi. Sleigh appeered for the prosecution, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoner. Mr. Hawkesaid—l am a clerk in the 'Unionßank, at the Argyll-street branch. On the Ist of December the pri soner—at least I believe him to be the person—came to my desk and asked for Mr. George Whitehead's pass-book and cheques. It is not the practice of the bank to return the cancelled cheques with the pass-book, unless specially re quired. We, however, used to return Mr. Whitehead's cheques. On the book being given to the prisoner, he opened it, and, having looked over the cheques it contained, said it was all right, and left the place. Mr. H. Glenny—l am a cashier at the Union Bank. On the 3d of December a cheque (produced) was handed to me for payment. It purported to be drawn by Mr. Whitehead in favour of Colonel Tynte for £259. Having some doubts about the signature, I consulted with Mr. Inkpen, manager of the bank, and ultimately the prisoner was given into custody. _ _ Mr. G. Whitehead—l am a conveyancer. I keep an account at the Union Bank. The cheque produced was not written by me. I never gave any person authority to draw a cheque for such an amount. The signature is a very good imitation of my handwriting. I had money transactions with Col. Tynte during the past year. I don't know the prisoner. I never sent him to the bank for my pass-book. I have unfortunately not yet obtained either it or the can celled cheque. Mr. Inkpen—l am manager of the Argyle-street branch of the Union Bank. On the 3d of December I saw the pri soner. I asked from whom he got the cheque I then held in my hand. He said a person in Poland-street had pro mised to give him half-a-crown for getting it cashed. I asked him the man's name, and I think he said it was " Whitehead." This person, he further stated, had em ployed him on a former occasion to get a pass-book from the bank, which he had done. I asked him if he knew the per son who had given him the cheque, and he replied he did not. In answer to other questions the prisoner said he was a brassfitter, but out of employment. I told him I thought it highly improbable that any person would employ a man in the street to obtain so large a sum, without knowing something about him. A constable was sent for, and he was given into custody. Police-constable 14 C said—When I took the prisoner into custody I told him he was charged with forging a cheque for £259. He said he was very sorry for it. He gave his right name and address at the station. Mr. Ribton, for the defence, contended that the prisoner had been made the dupe of other persons. His whole bear ing throughout the transaction showed as clearly as it was possible to do that he had, in the most innocent manner, fallen into a trap. A number of witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner an excellent character for honesty. The Recorder, in summing up the case, said there was no evidence that the prisoner had been guilty of forging the cheque, and therefore the jury would not have to trouble themselves with that part of the case ; but the ques tion they would have to decide was whether the prisoner uttered the forged instrument with intent to defraud. The fact that most told against the prisoner was, that when the pass-book was given into his hand he opened it and minutely examined its contents, and, after having done so, said it was all right. A mere messenger would not be likely to act in such a manner. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty of uttering the cheque knowing it was a forgery. The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The total imports of foreign stock into London last week were 2,664 head. In the corresponding week in 1858 we received 550 ; in 1857, 782 ; in 1856, 654 ; in 1855, 935 ; in 1854, 2,100 ; in 1853, 3,147 ; and in 1851, 3,310 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEEK. From.

For the time of year there was a fair average show of stock to-day, as to number, but its quality was inferior. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were only moderate, but the general condition of the stock was tolerably good. The attendance of butchers was rather extensive, and the beef trade ruled steady, at fully last Monday's currency. Theprimest Scots sold readily, at 4s. 10d. per 8 lbs. From Norfolk,. Suffolk, &c., about 400 Scots and short horns came to hand. The receipts from the Northern and Midland Districts were 700 shorthorns ; from other parts of England 900 of various breeds ; from Scotland 280 Scots, and from Ireland 140 oxen. The remainder of the supply was derived from near localities and abroad. We were scantily supplied with most breeds of sheep, the general quality of which was good. On the whole, the mutton trade ruled firm, at fully last week's quotations. The best old Downs sold at ss. 2d. per Slbs., and a good clearance was effected. Calves were in short supply and steady request, at an advance of 2d. per 81bs. The top figure was 4d. There was a moderate inquiry for pigs, at full quotations. Per 81bs. to sink the offal.

English wool is steady, but not dearer, and the supply on offer is very moderate. The imports last week amounted to 535 bales from Port Philip, 410 from Algoa Bay, 35 from Alexandria, 68 from Buenos Ayres, 130 from Ham burgh, and 34 from Antwerp. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Rather extensive supplies of potatoes have come fresh to hand since Monday last ; but the imports have been limited —viz., 680 tons from Rouen, and 78 tons from Dunkirk. Selected samples are in fair request, at full prices, but all other kinds are a dull inquiry.

THE BRIGHTON DIVIDEND.—It is estimated that the half-year's dividend will be £3 10s. per cent., making, with the previous half-year's dividend, 6 per cent. for the year 1358, the same as for the previous year, 1857. Thus the high dividend of this company keeps up, and the com pany substantially improves every year.—lferapath. TUE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPII BETWEEN MALTA , AND SARDINIA.—A letter from Malta, under date of Christ mas-day, reports that telegraphic communication continued t o tally suspended between the two islands since the 20th, and . that the superintending engineer at Malta had left for Cagliari, in the Caradoc steamer, on the night of the 23d, to underrun the cable on that side, where it is supposed the damage has been sustained. 'TIE PULPIT AND TILE PRESS.—On Sunday last a n Independent minister, while officiating in a Glasgow West-end chapel, publicly prayed for the newspaper press of the kingdom, and more especially of tkat city, that it might be guided to take a correct view of all Matters affect ing the public interest. NORFOLK TURKEYS.—It will perhaps excite some astonishment when it is stated that last week 10,746 turkeys were despatched as Christmas presents to the metropolis, the greater part coining from Norfolk, and being placed on the railway at Norwich. It is generally considered that a tirkey, with sausages, hamper, carriage, &c., coats £l, anal these presents, therefore represent an aggregate expenditure of £lO,OOO. After this one may employ Mr. Punch's obser vation last week, " Not bad, for the eastern counties." On Saturday evening Mr. James P. Peake, who has held the office of assistant master shipwright at Wool wich since June 1848, received his appointment from the Admiralty - as master shipwright at Devonport Dockyard, vice Mr, William Edye, who retires on a pension. THE NAVY. The annual return of the names, number of guns, and tonnage of the whole of the vessels in the navy was published on Saturday, from which it appears that the British navy, at the beginning of 1859 con sists of 523, vessels, including screw steamers of every description, exclusive of which there are 167 gunboats. Of the number of vessels composing the navy no less than 176 are in commission, and doing duty in every part of the globe. The vessels in commission are distributed as follows :-32 line-of battle ships, frigates, and smaller vessels are attached to the East Indies and China station ; 25 on the coast of Africa ; 16 in the Mediterranean; 15 on the Pacific and on the Austr2lian station ; 15 on the North America and West India station ; on the south-east coast of America, and 5 at the Cape of Good Hope. The remaining 61 v esse l s are employed on particular service, or atta c h e d as guardships to the princial ports in Great Britain and Ireland, including the Channel Squadron, which is composed of the following screw steamers :—The Royal Albert, 121, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir C. H. Fremantle, K.C.B. ; the Orion, 91, Capt. E. C. I'. D'Eyncourt ; the Renown, 91, Captain J. Willcox; the Brunswick, 89, Capt. E. Ommanney ; and the Racoon, 22, Captain J. A. Paynter. In addition to the number of vessels in commission there is a powerful steam reserve in harbour- at. Chatham and Sheerness, consisting of 36 line-of battle screw steamers, floating batteries, steam fri gates, and other smaller vessels, all of which could be equipped for sea at the shortest possible notice, many of them having been launched during the last few years. There are also 11 line-of-battle screw steamers of from 80 to 131 guns each, build ing at the several Royal dockyards, together with 15 other screw steamers, all in various stages of progress. From this return it appears that the navy of England is in a most efficient state, both as regards the number of vessels and the manner in which those vessels are equipped. Of the list of steam gunboats given in the return nearly the whole are described as ready for service. The majority of them are of 60 horse-power. The following vessels have been chartered by the Hon. Council of India for the conveyance of rein forcements and stores to India :—The Sourisqt els, 911 tons, the Clive, 598 tons, and-the Eunomia, 446 tons, for Madras ; the Ardbeg, 925 tons, for Ben gal ; and the Red Riding Hood, 720 tons, for Bom bay. The Enterprise, 4, one of the Arctic discovery ships, which was abandoned, but afterwards given up to the British Government, is ordered to be sent from Chatham to Sheerness, to be used as a coal depot for the steamships belonging to the steam reserve in the Medway. The Resolute, Arctic discovery ship, which was also presented to the Go vernment by the people of the United States, still remains at Chatham, where she has been lying for some time entirely dismantled. The Aid, naval storeship, has arrived at Chat ham from Portsmouth, and is now discharging war stores for the dockyard. The troop transport ship Tartar, Captain Jeans, from London, which put into Plymouth Sound on. the 24th ult. with 83 men of various regiments for Madras, sailed again on Friday morning. Captain Anderson, 32d Light Infantry, and the other mili tary officers have addressed a letter to Capt. Jeans, approving his conduct during the late severe weather. Her Majesty's three-decker Britannia was com missioned at Portsmouth on Saturday by Captain Harris, of the Illustrious, as the future training ship for Royal Naval Cadets. In paying off the Illustrious, Captain Harris complimented the crew belonging to the ship, and said he had the pleasure of presenting good-conduct medals to Thomas Bowyear, master-at-arms ; William Naish, boatswain's mate ; and John Isum, quartermaster. Captain Harris has superintended the training of upwards of 2,000 lads during his commission, many of whom have turned out excellent characters. and good sailors, and havebeen draughted into ships for foreign service. The Il lustrious was paid off by Captain George Henry Seymour, C:B., of the flagship Victory. Her Majesty's paddle-vessel Pigmy, 4, Master commander William Johnston, was re-commissioned at Portsmouth by that officer on Saturday. The Bloomer freightship, Captain Smith, which was reported in The Sun of Saturday as having been in collision coming down channel, was towed into Portsmouth by the Government stcamtugs on Saturday. She had been struck heavily off St. Al ban's Head by the United States' vessel Highland Light of Boston. The Bloomer was freighted in London with nearly 400 troops bound for Kurra chee. During the repairs of the vessel the men will be accommodated on board the Victorious hulk in Portsmouth harbour. The paddlewheel steam troopship Dee, 4, Master Commander Thomas C. Pullen, from Portsmouth, arrived at Plymouth on Friday night. On Satur day she went up Ilamoazo, received a topmast-yard for the Nile and supernumeraries for the fleet, and sailed in the afternoon for Queenstown. The paddlewheel steam-vessel, Avon, 3, Second Master James H. Lawrence, which has been in the Channel seeking a vessel, the crew of which is afflicted with smallpox, returned to Plymouth un successful on Saturday. The lighter Hanioaze, Mr. Webber master, is appointed to load bread at Plymouth to-day, Mon day, for the fleet at Queenstown. The crew of the screw steamship Desperate, 8, Commander Robert G. Cragie, were paid off along side the dockyard at Devonport on Saturday. The screw steam guardship of Coast Guard Rus sell, 60, Captain H. A. Storey, was paid off at Plymouth on. Friday and recommissioned on Satur day by Captain George Wodehouse. Her tenders, the gunboat Hind, and cutters Silvia and Royal Charlotte, were paid off at the same time. THE ABllf Y. The third of a series of lectures commenced a short time ago at Woolwich by Colonel Wilford, R.A., Governor of the Royal Military Academy, and Colonel Eardley Wilmot, Superintendent of the Royal Military Gun Factories, was given on Friday last in the regimental schoolroom, and was attended by Major-General Sir W. F. Williams of Kars, commandant of the garrison, and a crowded assembly of officers, non-commissioned officers, and gunners of the Royal Artillery. The lecturer first addressed the noncommissioned officers and young soldiers, commenting in general terms on their duties as Artillerymen, and cautioned them against coming to rash conclusions from statements they might hear in other quarters on the subject of coast defences. He then proceeded to impress on them the necessity of studying and acquiring a know ledge of the practical system by which they should be guided in all the operations which they might be called upon to perform as gunners, and, after referring to the able and interesting lecture given recently by Colonel Eardley Wilmot, he entered into a detail of the several great conquests to which this country had been subjected, and of the changes which had probably established in the people that physical character for which they . were renowned. He then remarked that our national strength lay in the great power of defending our coasti ; while our seas were guarded by thein domitable prowess of our navy when in a state of efficiency, our arsenals, our great harbours, &c., must be defended by the great arm of artillery. The colonel then proceeded to remind his audience that successful descents had been made in Ireland and Torquay in 1796, and that during the reign of George 11. an enemy had brought his ships up to Chatham, and burnt several of our vessels. Advert ino• to the great improvement in steamships, he pointed out the ninny changes i n th e i mprove d ar t of gunnery which the progress of that invention had called forth. He then described the stupend ous defences of Gibraltar and Malta, and gave a brief s ketch of the former fortress and its memora ble sieges, and. explained by me a ns o f s i m ple dia grams the difference in the effect of shot fired from vessels and from land batteries. The colonel gave a clear and concise definition of the mode of elevation to be studied in the art of good gunnery, and made various remarks on the different projectiles, de scribing the distinction between concussion and percussion shells, and guns of varied calibre, and their adaptation, &c. A diagram was exhibited demonstrating the method of protecting a river (the. Thames) so as to insure an efficient check upon a flotilla of the enemy, and to bring on speedy destruction. Another diagram was produced re presenting a bay open to an enemy's descent with well contrived batteries for commanding the enemy afloat, and disembarking, as well as the means of defending a harbour (as Portsmouth) by means of detached forts, and effectually warding off an enemy's advance through the medium of long range, and so preventing a steady bambardinent. After some observations on the utility of the mar tello tower as a shore defence, the lecturer sup ported his argument by relating an incident in which Sir Sydney Smith had suffered severely off Corsica, and was compelled to land his ma rines to assault the town. The lecturer concluded by general remarks on fortifi cation, guns, ammunition, the recen t inven tion of concussion and percussion shells, &c., and spoke of the superiority of the late Quarter master Freeburn's fusees. General 'William s c ailed on the non-commissioned officers and gunners, betbre leaving the room,to give him their attention for a few minutes while he took the opportunityof remarking that he had listened with great plea sure to the most useful and important details which had been given by the gallant and ; +;.c lecturer,Se.enk whom he cordially thanked ; he said he should be glad on all similar occasions to present and give his sanction for propounding and delineating for the benefit of the Hoops the subject of the evening, so interesting to the non-commissioned officers and men of te regiment of artillery, and he hoped that other officers would follow the example of Colonel Wilford and Colonel Eardley Wilmot, whom he thanked for the good work which they had so suc cessfully begun. MR. GLADSTONE'S 1111SSIO.Y. (From the Morning Herald.) No thinking man can view with any feeling-but repugnance the discreditable course adopted by- the Times and other Opposition journals on the subject of the lonian Islands. It is far from our intention to seek to prescribe limits to public discussion, to direct the tactics of our opponents, or to ask any favour at their hands. The journalist, wielding great power, owes to his country a great responsi bility. Whatever his predilections, whatever his antipathies, it is his duty not to attempt to em barrass the Executive in its dealings with foreign states ; not to excite hostilities disturbing the peace of any population united directly or indirectly with our own ; and not to sacrifice, for the gratification of partisan spite, important Imperial interests, which every statesman to whatever party he may belong, is bound to guard with jealousy, and to preserve to the best of his power and ability. The Times, now well known as the servile organ of the effete Whig faction, in its review of the past year, has assumed a tone and evinced a spirit dia metrically opposed to the tone and spirit of honest journalism. The influences brought to bear on our contemporary are too well known, and the effects produced by them upon its prestige have also become apparent. Still, we do not anti ipate, as the climax of political subserviency, a proclamation of ignor ance as to public feeling so glaring as a re-adoption of the Cardwell motion or a distortion of facts so deliberate as the version given by our contempo rary of Mr. Gladstone's mission, its cause and effects. In the face of the faithful report sent by its own correspondent, in the face of Mr. Gladstone's address to the Hierarchy of Zantc, this organ has declared Mr. Gladstone's experiment to be a hopeless failure," and "his extraordinary deference to the local ecclesiastics" as one of the causes conducing to such result. ' But our contemporary has neither begun nor ended with this declaration. After re peated articles condemnatory of Mr. Gladstone's mission, in which falsehood has been strangely mixed up with distorted truths, the journal to which we refer displays its ignorance by describing the title of Mr. Gladstone as " Lord High Commissioner Extraordinary," and by advo cating the policy of violence and repression so dear to the heart of its present masters—a policy our contemporary has formerly condemned, and which has proved to be inefficacious, dangerous, and ab surd. The present constitution, the same authority has justly remarked, was bestowed on the islands by an " unlucky caprice." It is one of those pseudo liberal abortions which the Whig Cabinet of Lord J. Russell imposed on Europe contemporaneously with Lord Mintes mission to Italy and our notable " intervention" tactics of the last revolutionary years. The inopportuneness of the Grey-Seaton constitution became at once manifest. " The in trigues and violence of native demagogues" de nounced by our contemporary led to disturbances more grave than mere seditious language. Sir H. Ward adopted " the determination to enforce on the lonians the necessary condition of order and sub mission." His conduct was stigmfttised by the same journal in no measured phrases. The present Government have adopted a policy of firmness tem pered with conciliation. Printed documents have attested to this fact. Yet our contemporary assails the Government in terms of no measured hostility, and hurls at the lonians, whom it knew to be willin g to accept our advances, language of invective and hostility which no civilised people should utter and which no free community could accept. Nay, more, improving the opportunity afforded by a fraudulent publication of confidential documents, accepting the co-operation of Mr. Wellington Guernsey, the Times seeks to excite the ammo sales of the inflammable lonians, and labours to accumulate the difficulties which true Englishmen would lend their best endeavours to remove. If the public wish to have an honest account of Mr. Gladstone's mission we think we can furnish them with one, perhaps less embroidered, but cer tainly more authentic than that of war contem porary. The Grey scheme of 1848-49 contained all the germs of misgovernment. Under the garb of a free constitution a raw theory was intro duced, combining every influence the most in congruous, without any unity of design or pur pose. Each branch was rendered independent of its neighbour. Functions were mixed which should be kept distinct. Municipalities were created into sovereign legislatures. Legislatures were invested with executive attributions. Veins of absolutism ran through a system of the wildest democracy. The press was free, and yet subject to arbitrary restrictions. Island jurisdiction conflicted with septinsular authority. Classes were commingled, in terests jumbled, ambitions excited, while no career was opened to ability but the restricted sphere and emolument of lonian official life ; no new branch of industry was developed, no channel for the restless activity, the impetuous talent, and the hot southern blood of an excitable and intellectual people. With this introduction no wonder that the reaction turned against those who had thus loosened beyond control the floodgates of Greek passion. Legislators they had, but small scope for legislation—administrators, there was but little to administer. The professions were overcrowded. Politics was the only refuge for the unemployed. Island politics were too cir cumscribed. There was no space for activity, so the lonians naturally became turbulent. The lonians turned round on the Frankenstein of their imprac- ticable constitution. They were met under the orders of a Cabinet which included Lords Palmerston and Clarendon by a syston of repression on which we shall offer no opinion, but which the Times de clared to be " more cruel and inhuman" than that of llaynau or Radetzky. v By this process the islands were pacified. Their press, their freedom of speech, were left them, but no attempt was made to improve their material interests. They might ask, but no thing was given ; they might knock, but no one would open. They could speak, but could not g ain more bread than before. Theorists had thought to satisfy them with words. The lonians were ill con tent with this Barmecidc feast. They spoke, and were coerced. They rebelled, and were oppressed. They subsided, and we regret they have met with but sorry treatment even from those whose official duty it was to reconcile them by kindness to our rule. Kindness and conciliation go farther in the lonian Islands than elsewhere. The attempt has been once made, and successfully. In Cepha lonia, esteemed the most turbulent of the islands, where Colonel Talbot as r e sident t re ated the in habitants with the courtesy due from a gentleman and a ruler , . his name i s s till held in affectionate and enthmastic remembrance. It was with the view of adopting a new system — a system that can never fail, one of kindliness, courtesy, and Christian sympathy, that Mr. Glad stone went forth on his arduous mission. Numer ous difficulties beset MS path, difficulties incalcu lably augmented by the unfortunate publication of Sir John Young's deTatchcs. Yet manfully and straightforwardly has he persevered in the task which he has undertaken, never swerving from the course prescribed, temperately but firmly putting aside all visionary schemes, and devoting his great intellect to the improvement of the people whose welfare he has espoused.. And, notwithstanding numerous obstacles, his course has been attended with marked success. At Zante, where his arrival was as enthusiastically greeted as elsewhere, cries for "union with Greece" were loud and oft•repeatcd. Yet on his departure, after his decided rejection of any plan with that object in view, while cheers and acclamations greeted his approach as before, the cry for union was not once heard. A fact like this speaks for iL elf, and furnishes a sufficient answer to the cavils and taunts of defeated factions. If the state of the lonian Islands has not hitherto been brought before the public, it was because for years we have had no Minister at the t eCooslonsitault-eosffi orco capable of appreciating the value of h the obligations due to them from us, arising out of our treaties with other European powers. Sineo Sir Edward Lytton's accession to power he has done much to make his name remembered in the annale of his department. Not among the least of the successes already recognised in the colonies and in ttle importance, affairs tance, of b this country is the s election of a statesman of Mr. u t a e nation, min t eminent from n numerical calibre to settle small pe from geographical position and historic associa tion. By this time the inhabitants of the lonian i s l an ds are aware that annexation to Greece is be jend Europe does not want it.; Great Britain t ofcircle Britain does not intend it; nor, we believe, dots even Greece d estre it. Ere long we believe that the constitution improvements : ar,l the material advantages effected by Mr. Gladstone will induc e th e lonians to lay aside their poetic dreams. Th ey will seen learn to respect their po sition as an independent though protected state am higher than that of a provincial division of the Greek kingdom. Increased courtesy on the part of our officials, mutual forbearance and good offices, will speedily generate mutual good will. Notwith standing the denunciations and prophetic croakings of the Times we do not despair. ere long, of seeitkg t lie lonian States as well affected as any of those with which Grc at Britain has relations of alliance or supremacy. ~~~; - _
