MONEY XARKET AN•D COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Less anxiety is evinced this morning in discount circles respecting the course the directors of the Lank of England may pursue at their weekly court to-morrow. The demand for accommodation has certainly fallen off within the past three days, but the supply of floating capital is at the same time being daily decreased. During the present un- Bottled state of affairs investors appear desirous to bold their capital in hand, and thus are the means at the command of discounters much straitened. The market is nevertheless in a much easier state, and the best three months' bills have been again negotiated at 3i per cent. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was a slight advance in the rates on Amster• dam and Hamburg. _ _ The Glasgow, from New York, has brought £ll,OOO, and the Wellesley, from Melbourne, £203,160. Arrangements are stated to be in progress for the amalgamation of the London and Middlesex Bank with another old-established joint stock bank. Two o'CLocx. A meeting of the Peruvian Dollar Bondholders took place to-day to determine what steps should be taken to obtain payment of the bonds and coupons in hard dollars (pesos fuertes) instead of the depre ciated American paper now illegally tendered. Mr. Haslewood occupied the chair, and stated that Messrs. Baring Brothers, with 44 other large city firms, had formally petitioned the Government of Peru upon the subject, protesting against the pay ments in " greenbacks" instead of hard dollars, but no reply had been received save the acknow ledgment of the receipt of the communication. Each dollar was worth 4s. 2d., instead of which it was depreciated to 2s. 4d. A committee was appointed to watch the interests of the bondholders, and resolutions adopted declining to receive as pay ment for bonds and coupons the United States paper money, tendered by the Peruvian Govern ment, and that such payment shall be made in specie or its equivalent. At Paris, this day, according t o Mr. Rsuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f 15c. Heavy.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. WATCH ROBBERY,—Three men named Farrell, Okes, and Walburn, were placed at the bar charged with stealing a watch. Mr. Pagani said he was a clerk residing in Camden-road. Two or three days ago was going to his office in Thread needle-street when he felt himself hustled by a number of young men, and in a few moments after he saw his watchin the hand of Okes. He took hold of him and charged him with the robbery, when he immediately passed the watch to one of the other prisoners who ran away. Okes was held until a police constable arrived, and the next time he saw the other prisoners when they were in custody in the sta tion house. He had not recovered his watch. A young man who was near the spot said he saw the other two men ran away with the prosecutor's watch. He fol lowed Farrell, and charged him with having got the stolen property, which he denied, but he instantly handed the watch to Walburn, who walked off very quickly. He con tinued to follow the man till he saw a police-constable, whom he told of the occurrence, and he was taken into cus tody. Two police constables proved the capture of Farrell and Walburn, both of whom, on being confronted with Okes, denied all knowledge of both him and the robbery. On being asked what they had to say in answer to the charge, Okes said he took the watch, and the other men knew nothing about the robbery. . The police-constables both said, before the robbery was committed, all three prisoners were seen walking and talk ing together. The Lord Mayor committed all three prisoners for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE OUTCASTS IN THE PARKS. Two WOMEN CHARGED WITH SLEEPING IN THE OPEN AIR IN HYDE !ARK.-Two females of most deplorable appearance, named Florence D'Esterre and Margaret Chick, were charged be fore Mr. Knox with sleeping in the open air in Hyde-park. The women are two of a number of poor creatures who nightly sleep in Hyde-park, many of them being in a most loathsome condition. Newman, a constable of the A division, said that while on duty last night in Hyde-park he saw the two women lying under a tree asleep, and be then took them into custody, having on former occasions turned them out of a shed belonging to the Royal Humane Society. Mr. Knox asked whether the practice was as bad as ever ? Sergeant Wm. Savage, 5 A, said it was not quite so bad. He had known the women for five or six months past as frequenting the parks, and saw them last night lying under a tree. On asking one of them why she did not go to the union she became very insolent. Mr. Knox committed the women for a month each. Many of the females sleeping in the shed abovo alluded to—though unfortunates—are not above 15 years of age. UTTERING A FALSE CHEQUE,---John Hetherington, a tall, well-dressed man, of 2, Stamford-villas, Page-green, Tottenham, was charged before Mr. Knox, with uttering a false cheque to Mr. George Barker, livery stable-keeper, of 4, Portland-mews, with intent to defraud him of the sum of £9 15s. Mr. Barker said that on Monday last, the prisoner, in payment of a sum of £9 15s. which he owed him, handed him a cheque on Sir Samuel Scott's Bank. Cavendish square, for the sum of £2B, stating that he would call for the balance the nest day. On presenting the cheque the clerk handed it to him back with an endorsement on it. Inspector Bowler, A division, said the prisoner told him he received the cheque in payment of a horse he had sold to a gentleman, the horse having stood in Mr. Barker's stable for weeks. He said the reason why he did not call for the change was because he was engaged at Clapham. Mr. Knox said it was a strange charge of fraud, as the prisoner had not defrauded the prosecutor of one penny, as the debt owing to prosecutor still remained, and the pro secutor had time to go to the bank, so ;that he had an opportunity of seeing whether the cheque was genuine. The prisoner was allowed to go on entering into his own recognisance, he promising that he would try and find out the gentleman he received the cheque from. The Extraordinary Escape of a Convict from Millbank Prison. I The particulars that we learn with regard to the man whose escape from Millbank Prison has already been briefly stated are as follow :—He has essayed to obtain his liberty on nearly a dozen other occa sions ; his name is Martin Sheen, aged 28, though he looks somewhat older. He is five feet six inches in height, of fair complexion, with iron-grey hair, and hazel eyes. lie is somewhat inclined to be stout, and is, indeed, very stoutly built. His nose and right hand are broken. He is a surgeon by profession, and he was sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude for forgery, about 18 months ago, at the Central Criminal Court. It appears that after his conviction, as above stated, he was removed to Pentenville, where he made certainly one if not more attempts to escape, but was frustrated in his endeavours, and removed from thence to the Penitentiary, at Millbank, for more sate cus tody. With a knowledge of his antecedents he was there placed in what is called the penal class, being the worst class of prisoners, and during the time he has been at Millbank he has made nearly a dozen attempts to escape. On one occasion, indeed, he had nearly accomplished his purpose, having got out of his cell unperceived and reached the roof of the prison, when he was detected, and for some time after kept heavily ironed. On that occasion he had in his possession a large knife, and it re mains a mystery to the present day how he became possessed of such a formidable weapon, as it was not one of the knives in use in the prison. Moreover, the convict had, at that time, been in the prison for some months, and, according to the regulations, had been regularly searched and stripped twice in each week, the cell examined twice every day, and a search also made, when he went out for exercise in the care of a warder, and also when he came in ; each prisoner, as it appears, going out separately, with a warder in charge. It would seem from this almost impossible for any one of the pri soners to obtain possession of such a weapon as the knife referred to, or to keep possession of it if ob tained, unless with the connivance of some one in side the prison. The escape just made seems to have been effected in this manner, and certainly immense ingenuity and fearlessness must have been exercised in the attempt which proved so successful. The windows of the prisoners' cells are about 38 feet high, and it seems that by some means, that cannot be ascertained, he managed to remove a number of bricks from one of the corners of the cell, making a hole large enough for him to get his body through. Ho must previously have provided him self with a rope, made of the cocoa-nut fibre, and which probably he had somehow gotten from the matting in the chapel. At the end of this rope was a hook, fashioned out of the wire by which the tin drinking mugs are fastened round the rim, and which doubtless he had secreted at his dinner time on the day of his escape. By the aid of this rope, having got through the aperture he had made in the corner of his cell, he lowered himself down on to the roof of a building called the general ward, it being about 12 feet down. The roof of this building is partially of glass, the building itself being used as a Catholic chapel, and capable of holding from 280 to 300 prisoners. Having got into this ward, through one of the sky lights, the convict possessed himself of a piece of board, forming one of the tables, and also took all the sash lines of the windows, and with these things returned to his cell by means of his coir rope through the aperture. Out of the piece of board he made a sort of platform hardly large enough to stand upon—indeed, as the informant of our re porter observed, " His neck upon that thing was not a halfpenny purchase." Coming out of his cell again he made use of the coir rope by throwing the knob end of it up to the gutter, having pre viously somehow made a small bag of sand to give weight so that he might throw it up as noiselessly as possible. The sand he probably procured from the allowance made for cleaning out the cells. The hook becoming fast to the gutter, the convict must have pulled himself up by the coir rope, tak ing the sash lines with him fastened together. By that means he got on to the roof of the main building, and, fastening the sash line round one of the chimneys, lowered himself down into the garden. Safely there he made for the boundary wail, which is from 20 to 25 feet high, and again making use of the coir rope, with the hook and sand bag, reached the top of the wall, let himself down on the other side, and left the coir rope hanging there behind him. He had then only to cross the vacant piece of ground outside the building, get ove r some iron railings, and as he undoubtedly did, make his escape. This daring escape of another Jack Sheppard was from E ward, in No. 5 hexagon, the one that faces towards Ponsonby-place, and forcool ness of execution and determination has hardly been surpassed, It is almost needless to say that the utmost vigilance is being shown to effect the recapture of the convict ; but as he is not known as a regular offender, of course the difficulty of recog- ' nition becomes increased. Catholic Chaplains for Gaols. At the Barks Michaelmas Sessions, at Abing don, on Monday, the subject of appointing a Catholic chaplain to the gaol at Reading was brought under the consideration of the Court. Had it been generally known that an application of that kind was intended to be made no doubt there wculd have been a very large attendance of magistrates. As the agenda paper did not indicate anything beyond the ordinary routine business to be trans acted, there were only little above 20 present. Viscount Barrington presided, and there were on the bench Lord Overstone, Sir Warwick Morehead, the Hon. P. P. Bouverie, Mr. J. Walter, M.P., Mr. Benyon, M.P., Mr. J. T. Norris, M.P., Colonel Loyd-Lindsay, Mr. Gibson, Mr. Bros, Mr. Merry, &c. The annual report by the chaplain of Reading Gaol was read to the court, setting forth the num ber of prisoners under his spiritual charge during the past year, the degree of education of each, their religious belief, and other matters on which the chaplain is once in every year required to furnish information. The prisoners admitted into the gaol for that period were stated to have been nearly 800, of which number there were 46 males and 5 females who were Catholics. After this report had been read, Mr. GIBsoN rose and said the Rev. Canon Ring rose had spoken to him to apply to the Court to grant him permission to visit those prisoners in Reading Gaol belonging to the Catholic per suasion who did not send for him. He believed that Canon Ringrose was a man who might be trusted with this permission. It was only the best of Catholic prisoners that would send for him ; the very worst had exhibited an utter indifference about receiving spiritual instruction. The CHAIRMAN inquired whether the rules of the gaol were against it. Mr, GissoN replied, not that he was aware of. Mr. MERRY, a visiting justice, said he thought there would be considerable difficulty in the matter, because, by the prison regulations, any prisoner wishing to see the minister of his own religious persuasion had a right to the privilege o n asking for it. Upon such an application being made the Catholic priest, or ether minister, whoever it was that was desired, was sent for. practically, they found prisoners professing themselves to be this or the other, contrary to the Church of England, simply for the purpose of shirk ing going to chapel. He did not think that the Court had grounds enough to say that the prisoners were entitled to be visited either by a Roman Catholic priest or minister of any religious denomi nation without asking for it. If a prisoner asked for the privilege, it was conceded to him instantly. When it was said that it was only the better class of Catholic prisoners that desired to see the priest, b e would just remark that they were the persons w ho least needed a priest. It was the worst that stood in need of spiritual instruction. He thought there would be great difficulty in the Court giving general sanction to a Catholic priest or minister of an y religious denomination, to visit the gaol when prisoners did not express a desire to see such priest or minister. Mr. GosoN said it was the very worst of Catholic prisoners who did not send for a priest, and that was the very class that Canon Ringrose wished to visit. Air. Noßms, M.P., said he should like to know how many prisoners there had been of the Catholic faith in gaol at any one time, which would enable the Court t o arrive at something like a judg meet on the matter. The Act of last Session gave the C o urt power to appoint a Catholic chaplain to v i s it prisoners of that persuasion, and to pay him for might render. He s h ou ld lik e to know , beforeheevoted on the question, w h e th er servicesßingrose t h Canon Catholic prisoners. a nticipated being p a id for v i s iti ng (Hear, hear.) y r , GIBSON replied, he was perfectly satisfied that Canon Ringrose would have stated it to him if h e expected to be remunerated for his visits to prisoners of that persuasion. He believed that his cervices would be entirely voluntary. The CHAIRMAN-If Mr. Ringrose expected to be paid, the applicati on could not then be entertained, elmotion involvin g an expenditure of county se any money must have not i ce given. M r , WALTER, M.P., sa id , according to Mr. Merry's own statement o f the ease, Mr. Ringrose ought to have this privil ege granted to him. It ap bee p ared that if a prisoner stated he was not a mem ber of the Church of England he was exempted from being in visited by the c h aplain ; therefore he was the position of h av i ng no one to visit him. He appre h e nded th a t the law never intended a pri soner s hould be left with out religious instruction ; and if a ma n profes se d to be a Catholic—which he placed wa s not likely to do without its being the case—he o ught to receive the visits of some Catholic priest, whether he was sent for or not, or he was in the absurd position of not On l y not being visited by a Catholic priest, but visited by no one. It was the intent i on of the Act of last Session that greater religious that privileges sho u ld b e enjoyed by prisoners, a they should be v i s i ted by some one, whe ther sent for or not. Mr. BRos referred to the A c t o f P arl i ament, and said this was a matter within the province of the v i s i t i ng justices of the gaol ; for if they knew of Catholic prisoners being there they could send for a priest w i t hout being r equested to do so ; and then if the Court cf Quarter Sessions found the number of prisoners there to be sufficient to require it, they would a ppoint a Catholi c c h aplain. At present C an on Ringrose could m a k e h i s application to the visiting justices, and in their discretion they could deal with it. Mr. GIBSON said it would then be necessary for him to give notice of motion for the next sessions. The CITAIRmAN—It could only be done in that way. Sir W. MORSHEAD thought this would lead to very great inconvenience, as they would then have two chaplains in the gaol —a Protestant and a Catholic, a nd, admitting a C at h olic priest to give instruction gratuitously, th ey would have no con. trol over him. This muat le a d t o a state of things far from agreeable. Mr. NoRRIs, MT., said when this bill was under discussion in the House of Commons he ven tured to express an opinion that it would in its operation be found to be obnoxious, and sometimes offensive. If they appointed a Catholic Chaplain and paid him a salary, upon what pri nc ipl e could they say they would not pay a Dissenting minister to attend to prisoners who belonged to some dis senting persuasion ? (Hear, hear.) The Clerk of the Peace said it would be for the next Court of Quarter Sessions to consider whether (as stated by the Act of Parliament) the number of Catholic prisoners was so large as to justify the appointment of a Catholic chaplain. Mr. GIBSON was sure that the idea of remunera tion never entered the mind of Canon Ringrose. He wanted to know what answer he was to return to him. Was he to be allowed to visit the gaol ? Mr. MERRY said no application had been made to the visiting justices, but he would state that, in the event of Canon Ringrose applying f or such per mission, his character was such as to entit le him to every possible respect, however much they might differ from him. With respect to prisoners pro fessing to differ from the Church of England, h e wished to mention the case of a man who alleged that he did not belong to the Church simply becaus e he wished to be exempted from attending the ser vices in the chapel. He was confined in a ce l l on account of being refractory, and was handcuffed. timehavethe de voted to service in g rindin g his handcuffs stones of his cell, and in a sho rt time he Would succeeded in getting rid of his handcuffs, and this done he would hav e e ndeavoured to make himself free of the gaol. The H on , P. P. BOVVERIE, 111. P., asked how many out of the 50 Catholic prisoners had applied for Canon Ringrose. Mr. GIBSON replied, not more than six, and that during the whole year. The Gaoler (Mr. Ferry), in answer to a question, stated that there were now about four Catholic prisoners in Reading Gaol. The lion. P. P. BouvEurE, M.P., said, notwith standing the liberality of Canon Ringrose, he thought it right that he should be paid a salary, however small, as it would give them a control over him which they would not otherwise have. (Hear.) Mr. BROS said the visiting justices might, if they thought proper, apply to Canon Ringrose to attend upon Catholic prisoners. Sir W. MoRsrtEAD said the visiting• justices would ask Canon Ringrose, if any of the prisoners in formed them that they wanted to have his spiritual advice. Mr. MERRY said he thought it Was very impro per that this matter should have been brought be fore the Court without any mention being made to the visiting justices. . Lord BARRINGTON (the chairman)--Nothing had been done. The question had only been ventilated. (A laugh.) The subject then dropped. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LINCOLN AUTUMN MEETING—TtEsDAT.

Race on H e t• who won the Rifle Volunteer handicap man at Lincoln, on DlondaY, was yesterday decided. The Earl of Yarborough and Air heneage (the latter rep resen t. ing the other steward s) hoard evidence in support of the objection, and afterwards awarded the race to Hetman, who came in first. WESTMINSTER. IMPUDENT RUBBERY.--David Duffy, aged 46, a tall, powerful man, who is said to have been previously in cus tody, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with stealing a watch. The police informed the magistrate that there was no prosecutor in attendance, but there was a witness who saw the offence committed. It was a robbery from the person. Mr. Arnold said that under these circumstances, he would go on with the case. John Webb, a cab driver, said that late last night he was hired by a gentleman at Seymour-street, Duston••square, and ordered to drive to the Haymarket, where the gentle man stopped and had some refreshment with a lady at a tavern there. Witness was then ordered by the gentleman to drive to Sutherland-street, Pimlic', and the prisoner fol lowed him as he left the tavern, and got into the cab. When the gentleman was getting out in Sutherland-street, the prisoner rushed towards him, and snatching at his watch, broke it from the guard. Witness immediately called to the gentleman that he had been robbed, and that his gold chain was hanging down, and then prisoner, finding that he had been seen to commit the robbery, which he had doubtless thought, from the posi tion of witness, was unobserved by him, threw the watch into the cab. Mr. Arnold wanted to know how the prisoner got from the Haymarket to Sutherland-street ? Witness said when he followed the gentleman out he asked witness if he would let him stand on the cab-spring and ride a little way, as he wanted to go to Westminster. Prisoner said it was all a mistake about his robbing the gentleman. He was a very honest man, and knew nothing about the watch. The cabman repeated that he saw him steal it, and throw it into the cab, A policeman proved searching the cab and finding it there. Prisoner was remanded. THAMES. A PIG IN A POKE.—A dirty, little old man, very shabbily dressed, and with a large quantity of beard and moustache, who gave the name of Charles Steward, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a pig. John Sherman, a police-constatble, 285 K, produced a live pig in a b ag , an d sa id he stopped the prisoner with it in the London•road, Bow, at half Test four o'clock this I norning, and up o n as ki ng the prisoner where he obtained it he replied in the Minories. He asked the prisoner where he was going, to which he answered to Bermondsey. Mr. Partridge --He was on the wrong side of the river for Bermondsey. Sherman— Yes, sir ; he was going towards Essex when I stopped him. I asked him what he gave for the pig. He said 12e. Afterwards he said 11s. The. prisoner, who mumbled something between his teeth for some time, was understood to say the policeman wanted the pig to make pork pies with. Mr. Partridge—ls this man sober? Inspector Griffin—He is quite sober, sir. I would go have pnt him in the dock if he had net been sober. Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk—ls the prisoner a Jew. (Laughter.) The Prisoner—Did you ever know a Jew to deal in pork ? (Loud laughter.) Mr. Partridge—Where do you live ? The Prisoner—At No. 1, Blue Anchor-road, Bermondsey. Mr. Partridge asked the police-constable if he had made inquiries at No. 1, Blue Anchor-road. Sherman—No, sir, I have not. He said a little while ago he bought the pig in Billericay. Mr. Partridge—At Billericay, in Essex, What have you to say about the pig ? Is it your pig ? The Prisoner—Yes. Thomas Steward, of 1, Blue Anchor-yard, Bermondsey —He only wants the pig for himself for pork pies and sausages. (Laughter.) Mr. Partridge asked the constable if he had any reason to believe the prisoner gave a false address ? Sherman—No. Mr. Partridge then discharged the old man, and gave him his pig. He did not understand why he had been taken into custody. The prisoner threw the pig across his shoulders and left the court. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to.this morning's market, by land and water carriage, were small. Both red and white qualities, however, met a slow sale, at Monday's quotations. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. Gene rally speaking sales progressed slowly, and were of limited extent. In prices, however, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at late rates. The supply of barley was only moderate. The trade, however, was quiet, on former terms. The malt trade was dull, at about stationary prices. The supply of oats on offer was large. No further change took place in the value of any description. Good and fine corn sold steadily. Beans and peas were dull, at Monday's decline in prices. Flour, both English and foreign, moved off slowly, at late rates. • ARRIVALS THIS Wheat, Barley. Malt. Oats. Flout 660 I 30 380 290 I 530 .

SLANG OP THE RING, The fortitude of the prize ring never lacks a sacred bard for its celebration, yet the late battle of Baltiock with Gannon is only half told—the other half dispersed in a whirlwind of angry controversy, which has called into exercise the judicial autho rity of the P. R. Gazette. Its reporter, with an exquisite variety of metaphoric diction, says the London I?erieto, relates the first two dozen rounds. The dispensation, right and left, of innumerable well-aimed strokes by either pair of " mawleys" is minutely specified. We read how the " mawleys" —or fists, in honest English—of one and the other skilful bruiser descended by turns, in swift succes sion, upon the much -enduring features of his rival ; —now falling upon the " ivories" or the " kisser," which means the teeth or the lips ; and then upon the "nozzle, , ' " snout," or "smeller," from which a copious supply of the " ruby," the " genuine home-brewed," was perceived to distil ; again salut ing the mouth, or " tater-trap," with repeated blows; or aiming at the upper part of the face, and confounding "the daylight," as the hostile "ogles" alias the "peepers" became suffused with blood. With such charming variations they played upon the human face di v i ne; an d th i s is the e legant style in which their performances are described. Having thus " done duty on the dial," and assiduously " rubbed in a good deal of knuckle burnish', upon each other's visages, these sturdy fools of vulgar fame, getting to closer quarters, exchanged some fierce body-blows, which are facetiously called rib - ticklers," or "digs in the A. column of similar de victualling department. occupied with t h e detailed account testable slang is of twenty-four rounds of manual pumelling, inter rupted at that p oint b y the rural police. The " camp" was then broken tip, the crowd dispersed for a few minutes, and the poli ce , we suppose dis creetly retired out of sight, until the "referee" had selected another piec e of ground, where the rivals again set to. It was about 1 o'clock in the afternoon when they were once more brough t to " th e scra t c h." which means, by the way, a line scratched in the turf; hence the etymology of a ph rase t h at i s o f ten most innocently used. Some t . en rounds were fought but amidst so much confusion upon the new grounds proper con net .ot Baldoek's partisans, from the improper who would break into the rm . g, that Bell's reporter was unable to note the details of the performance. In his own vile jargo n, h e h a d endeavoured to re late, up to that time , the feats of Gannon an d Bal dock,—as, upon form er occasions, the achievements of Mace and Goss. or of Mace and King, were re lated in tolerable E n glish by th e Saturday _Review.

By this decree the most gracious Sovereign, and the other great protecting Powers of Greece, will be fully convinced that the lonian people, having always sought its national restoration, sanctions to-day the decisions and the conduct of its free preceding assemblies, pronouncing for the cessa tion of the protectorate and for the entire and comphete re • union of the lonian Islands with the kingdom of Greece under the constitutional sceptre of his Majesty the bring of the Hellenes, George 1., and his successors. The Assembly reserves to itself to declare its decision upon the proposi tions mentioned in the speech of your Excellency, as soon as the Chambers shall have received the communication which is to be presented to them. The Assembly is con vinced that the arrangements referred to in the speech of your Excellency, and which will be taken by the European Powers, will fully answer the just and ardent hopes which have been conceived by the lonian people since their recen Convention concerning Greece and the Seven Islands. Excellency,— In the midst of the unspeakable joy which fills all hearts the Assembly ought to express the gratitude of the lonian people to the august Sovereign of Great Britain for the deci sion which :she has deigned to take, and for the benevolent disposition of her Majesty towards the Greek nation. The Assembly ought equally to express the same sentiments in regard to the other protecting Powers of Greece, for their concurrence in the realisation of the wishes of the lonians for national restoration, and for their goodwill to the Greeks in general. Christian Europe, appreciating the services which Greece has rendered to humanity, will doubtless wish to lend its assistance to the Grecian nation for its complete restoration, in the interests of civilisation and for the ac complishment of the decrees of the Most High. In receiving the preceding.address, the Lord high Commissioner replied to the Assembly as follows ; Mr. President and Gentlemen, — I will hasten to communicate to the Secretary of State of her Majesty, to be submitted to the Sovereign protectrico the desire which the lonian people expresses in your address to see the cessation of the protectorate exercised over this State by her Majesty, my august Sovereign, in order that the lonian Islands may form in future part of the kingdom ' of Greece, under the sceptre of his Majesty Bing George and his successors. I will communicate without d e l ay to the L e gislative Assembly, in the accustomed form, the detailed arrangements which are necessary to complete this measure and I like to believe that i n th e i nterest of the country, points you, will proceed to a pro m pt resolution upon the which will be submitted t o your deliberations. I hope sincerely that the vote which you have just pronounced will not fail to assure the welfare and the prosperity of the lonian people. Te Deums, and thanks for the union obtained, ac clamations to his Majesty the King of the Hellenes, , solemn demonstr a ti ons i n favour of the Queen of Great Britain and tha protecting Powers of Greece, sumptuous ill uminations—nothing has been omitted during these last days to render as brilliant as pos sible the manifestation of the public joy.
