ONEY MARKET AND COMAIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Less anxiety is evinced this morning in discount circles respecting the course the directors of the 13ank 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 settled state of affairs investors appear desirous to hold 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 percent. 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. rrangements are stated to be in progress for the amalgamation of the London and Middlesex Bank with another old-established joint stock bank. Two O'CLOCK. 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 re3eipt 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.

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-ST.REET. THE OUTCASTS IN THE PARKS. TWO WOMEN CHARGED WITH SLEEPING IN THE OPEN Alit IN HYDE FARK.—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 Wined 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 above alluded to—though unfortunates—are not above a 5 years of age. UTTERING A FILLSE 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 i 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 next 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 be 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.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—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 those 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, Euston••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, Pimlico, and the prisoner fol lowed him as ho 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 t 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 bag, and said he stopped the prisoner with it in the London-road, Bow, at half•past four o'clock this morning, and upon asking 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. Ho said 12e. Afterwards he said 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 —I s this man sober? Inspector Griffin —H e is quite sober, sir. I would no have put 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. lie 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 ho had any reason to believe the I ;,risoner gave a false address ? Sherma'a—No. Mr-. - Partridge then discharged the old man, and gave 1 2-i):,1 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. N.ARKETS—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 forei gn w h ea t the market was well supplied, Gene rally sr caking sales progressed slowly, and were of limited extrnt. In prices, however, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at late rates. Tho supp:y 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 largo. 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. AItitIVALS THIS Walt. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

The particulars that we learn with regard to the man whose escapefrom 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. He 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 Pentonville, 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 CRS 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 rcached 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. He 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 wall, 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 for cool 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. WHITECHAPEL. The supply of meat is moderate, and the demand rules inactive, as follows : Beef, from 2e 6d to 3s 10d ; mutton, 3s Od to 4s 4d ; veal, 3s 4d to 4s 4d, and pork, 3s 6d to 48 6d per 81be by the carcase. BOROUGH HOP. Good and fine English hops continue in r equest, at ex treme rates. Inferior parcels move off slow ly, yet prices are supported. SLANG OF THE RING, The fortitude of the prize ring never lacks a sacred bard for its celebration, yet the late battle of Baldock with Gannon is only half told—the other halt 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 Review, 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 divi ne; an d thi s i s th e elegan t style in which their performances are described. Haying thus " done duty on the dial," and assiduously " rubbed in a good deal of knuckle burnissi" 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-tickler s ," or " di gs i n th e victualling department., A. column of similar de testable slang is occupied with th e d e t a il e d accoun t of twenty-four rounds of manual pumelling, inter rupted point by the rural police, The twe n t atthat camp " was th e n broken up, the crowd dispersed for a few minutes , and the police, we su pp ose dis creetly retired out of sight, until the "referee" had selected another pie ce of groupd, where the rivals again set to. It was about 1 o clock in the afternoon when they were once more brought to " the scratch: , which means, by the way, a line scratched in the turf; hence the etymology e tFn rof a p ounds werehrase that ifought s often upon the new ground , but ami d st so much cont usion most innocently used.

Catholic Chaplains for Gaols. At the Berks Michaelmas Sessions, of 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 Morshead, the Hon. P. P. Bouverie, M.P,, Mr. J. Walter, 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. lie 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, GIBSON 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 re ligious persuasion had a right to the privilege on asking for it. Upon such an application being m ade the Catholic priest, or other minister, w hoever it was that was desired, was sent for. Practically, they found prisoners professing the mselves to be this or the other, contrary to the Church of England, simcly for the purpose of shirk ing going to chapel. He did not think that the C o urt had grounds enough to say that the prisoners we re 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 who least needed a priest. It was the worst that stood in need of spiritual instruction. He thought there would be great diffi cu l ty i n the C ourt g i v i ng general sanction to a Catholic priest or minister of an y religious denomination, to visit the gaol when prisoners did not express a des i re to see such pr i est or minister. Mr. GIBSON said it was the very worst of Catholic prisoners who did not send for a priest, and that w as the very class that Canon Ringrose wished to visit. Mr. NORRIS, 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 to arrive at something like a judg ment on the matter. The Act of last Session gave the Court power to appoint a Catholic chaplain to visit prisoners of that persuasion, and to pay him for services that he might render. He should like to know, before he voted on the question, whether Canon Ringrose anti c i pated being paid for visiting Catholic prisoners. (Hear, hear.) tlr GiesoN replied, he was perfectly satisfied that Canon Ringrose would have stated it to him if he expected to be remunerated for hie visits to prisoners of that persuasio n . H e b el i eve d t h at hi s services would be entirely voluntary. Th e CEIAIRMAN—If Mr. Ringrose expected to be paid, the a pplication c ou ld not then be entertained, because a ny motion involving an expenditure of county money must have n o ti ce g i ven. Mr. WALTER, M.P., said, according to Mr. `Terry's own statement of the case, Mr. Ringrose ought to have this privilege granted to him. It ap peared that if a prisoner stated he was not a mem ber of the Church of England he was exempted from b e i n g visited by the chaplain ; therefore he was placed in t h e position of h av i ng no one to visit him. H e apprehended that the law never intended a pri soner should be left without religious instruction; and if a man professed to b e a Catholic—which he was not likely to do without its being the case—he ought to receive the visits of some Catholic priest, e was sent for or not, or h© was in the w h e ther h absurd position of not only not being visited by a Catholic priest, but visited by no one. It was the intention of the Act of last Session that greater religious privileges .sho_uld be enj o y e d b y pr i soners , and that t he y should be visited b y some one, whe ther sent for or not. Mr. BRos referred to the Act of Parliament, and said this wa s a matter within th e prov i nce of the visiting justices of the gaol ; for if they knew of Catholic prisoners being there they could send for a priest without being requested to do so ; and then if the Court cf Quarter Sessions found the number of prisoners there to be sufficient to require it, they w ould a ppoint a Catholic chaplain. At p re s e nt Canon Ringrose could make hi s app li cat i on to the visiting justices, and in their discretion they could deal with it. Mr, GIBSON said it would then be necessary for him to g i ve n otice of motion for th e next sess i ons. The CHAIR AN—lt could on l y b e done in that :NI way. Sir W. MORSIIEAD thought this wonld lead to very great inconvenience, as they w ou ld th en h ave two chaplains in the gaol —a Protestant and a Catholic, and, admitting a Catholic priest to give instruction gratuitously, they would have no con. trol over him. This must lead t o a state of th i ngs far from agreeable. Mr. NORRIS, M.P., 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. Jf they appointed is Catholic Chaplain and paid him a salary, upon what principle could they say they wo uld not pay a Di ssent i ng m i n i ster 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 a s 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 for such per mission, his character was such as to entitle hi m to every possible respect , however much th e y might differ from him, With respect to prisoners im) pro fessing to differ from the Church of England, ished to mention the case of a ma n alleged that he did not belong to the Church simply because h e wisbed to be exempted from attending theser vices in rho chapel. He was confined wasitied in a cell en handcuffed. account of being refracto r y , a It was ascertained that he employed the time de voted to services in grinding h i s handcuffs on th e stones of his cell, and i n a short time ho would h ave succeeded in getting r id of his handcuffs, and red this done he would ha ve endeavoured to make himself tree of the gaol. asked h ow P. BOUYERIE, M.P., The Hon, P. many out of the 50 Catholic prisoners had applied for Canon Ringrose. Mr. GIBBON replied, not more than Bix, and that during the whole year. Th e Gaoler (Mr. Ferry), in answer to a question, stated that there were now about four Catholic prisoners in Reading G ao l. The Hon. P. P. BOUVERIE, 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.) BROS said the visiting justices might, if they thought proper, apply to Canon Ringrose to attend upon Catholic prisoners. Sir W. MORSHEAD said the visiting justices would ask Canon Ringrose, if any of th e pr i soners informed 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 h a d been done. The question had only been ventilated. (A laugh.) The subject then dropped. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The King of Assembly reserves to itself to declare its decision upon the proposi tions mentioned in the speech of your E xc el l ency, ae as the Chambers shall have received the communic at i on which is to be presented to them. The Assembly i s Cm _ vinced that the arrangements referred to in the speech of your Excellency, and which will be taken by the Europa '' , Powers, will fully answer the just and ardent hopes which have been conceived by the lonian people since their recut 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 ao-- 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 protectrice 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 King George and his successors. I will communicate without delay to the Legislative Assembly, in the accustomed form, the detailed arrangements which are necessary to complete this measure, and I like to believe that in the interest of the country, you will proceed to a prompt resolution upon the points which will be submitted to 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 demonstrations in favour of the Queen of Great Britain and the protecting Powers of Greece, sumptuous illuminations—nothing has been omitted during these last days to render as brilliant as pos. Bible the manifestation of the public joy. LONDON GAZETTE—Yesterday, WAR OFFICE, OCT. 17. The Queen has been graciously pleased to give orders for the appointment of Lieutenant-Colonel Wm.

Gold in WREC K OF A FOREIGN VESSEL ON THE IRISH COAST.—TRAMORE, COUNTY WATERFORD, Oct. 19. _lnformation was received here this morning that a foreign ( vessel was on shore about three miles to the westward of this place. It was blowing hard at the time, and raining heavily. The lifeboat belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution stationed here was immediately manned and launched, and proceeded to the rescue of the shipwrecked crew. In the meantime nine of the poor foreigners had been rescued by means of ropes from the shore, but the remaining man was unable to cliuch the rope thrown to him, having injured his arm. At this time the lifeboat fortunately arrived along side the vessel and rescued the poor fellow, who would otherwise inevitably have perished, A fishing boat had attempted to save the crew, but owing to the heavy seae that s. was running at the time, she had failed to render anyasveiry tance. The lifeboat was reported to have behaved well on the occasion. The vessel proved to be the __e Greek s brig Marietta from Lisbon to Cardiff in ballast. kn since become a total wreck.
