CHART.ES CAVEYDISII FULKE GIi,EVILLE is a very ill-used man ! Notwithstanding that the Honourable Gentleman is a grandson of a Duke, the brother-in-law of the brother of a Duke, the father-in-law of a Duke in embryo, ill-conditioned and inquisitive persons have questioned the pro piety of the small increase of 5001. per annum, to his paltry " COMPLEMENT " (like Mrs. SPA RSIT he may object to the term "salary") of 2,0001. per annum, and actually inquired the grounds on which it had been made. Are these " miserable radicals" oblivious of the onerous duties which devolve upon this hard-working official ? Are they aware of the burdens which oppress him ? Is he not bound to attend in person (or by deputy) at the meetings of the Privy Council ? Is he not a Steward of the Turf Club—the keeper of a valuable stud of race horses ? But, above all, is he not the writer of letters proving that it is right and proper for par ties to take their seats at, and participate in the labours of the distinguished body to which he condescends to act as clerk, without taking the ordinary oaths of qualification? Why, then, should any additional honorarium be grudged to so effi cient an officer--who, if holding a similar position in the House of Commons, might have saved the country all the trouble of the Jewish Relief Dill, the Parliamentary Oaths Bill, and other matters which have occasioned much Ministerial embar rassment, and the loss of much valuable time ? It is true that we are at war, that the strictest eco nomy is essential, that we have also been com pelled to assent to the doubling of the Income Tax and the increase of the duties on malt, but, for all. that, Mr. CHARLES CAVENDISH FULKE GREVITAR has claims which cannot be resisted or even postponed to a more convenient period. Whatever may be the financial embarrassment of the country he must have his 5001. per annum extra, and we may be thankful that the demand has not been still higher, for who could venture to oppose claims founded upon such meritorious services ? The Hon. Gentleman must have been a very precocious youth, a very " admirable CRICHTON of babyhood." Before he had attained the mature age of ten years he was a pluralist, holding a number of offices in Jamaica, which returned some 6,0001. per annum to the fortunate official, or after makingample allowances for a liberally paid deputy, and clerks, and other expenses,about 3,000/. per au num net profit. He was appointed to a reversion in the Clerkship of the Privy Council. The West Indian appointment was made in 1801, and as we find CHARLES GREVILLE, Esq., was married to Lady CHARLOTTE BENTINCK, eldest daughter of the third Duke of PORTLAND, on V) 0 31st of March, 1793, we may assume, that even if the earliest offspring of that " marriage in high life," he could only have been seven years of age at the time when he obtained so gratifying a recognition of his abilities. But this was not all. Such talents should be secured for the public service. A colony should net secure all his exertions. Letters patent were, therefore, issued (we believe in 1804), granting him the reversionary office of Clerk of the Privy Council ; while, in 1808, an order of Council was promulgated, fixing the salary at 2,0001. per annum in the first instance, with an increase to 2,5001. after three years. There was, how ever, some moderation even in those jobbing times. A proviso or condition was annexed that there should be an abatement of the additional 5001. per annum in the event of his holding any other office producing an income equal to or ex ceeding 5001. per annum. Mr. GREVILLE succeeded to the reversion in 1821, when 27 years of age. He received his 2,0001., which was increased to 2,5001. in 1824. In 1829 the West Indian reversion dropped in ; and consequently, as the 3,0001. or upwards which he received from the colony exceeded 5001. per annum, he was again reduced to the insignificant stipend of 2,0001. per annum—a totally inade quate remuneration for his invaluable services. With that, however, he rested contented until the present year. He has, however, at length discovered the folly of his extraordinary moderation, and laid claim to the additional salary, and, what is better, had the claim allowed. It is said that he resigned the appointment iu Jamaica. Whether the "forgoUen," condition in the patent, that he should receive the emoluments "so long as he discharged in person" the duties of the various appointments, and the fact, that although he had received some seventy-five thousand pounds for his net profits ho had never set foot in Jamaica, had any influence in leading to the resignation, To conclude with BEFORE BREAKFAST.

L9NDON, MONDAY, JUNE 12, 1854. Another allusion in these columns to the event of Saturday may be tolerated, we venture to hope, under the peculiar circumstances which marked the occasims, on that 10th of June, 1854, of the solemn opening by the QUEEN of the Crystal Palace of the People at Sydenham. If for no other reason, reference once more to the incident of that remarkable inauguration might be deemed allowable from the fact of overytbing connected with it having proved in every way so peculiarly satisfactory. From the weather to the smallest detail of the ceremonial all passed off, literally, to admiration. Having supplied our read ers in our last impression with as complete and accu rate a report of the proceedings as was at all prac ticable under the circumstances, we endeavour by now laying before them a variety of additional particulars, to make up for any deficiencies, in the copy of our journal for this evening. Here after, the carious observers of the progress of civilisation will turn, we doubt not, with scarcely less eagerness to the details of the festive pageant of Saturday afternoon than that which is natural at the present moment among the vast concourse of our oriu immediate contemporaries. For the opening of th e C rystal Palace; at Sydenham, is som ething more th an t h e beginning under distin guished auspices of a splendid and unprecedented. speculation. It is something better and worthi er than the after-shadowing, of an i apparently yet really Very different inauguration. The opening of the Palac e of _People in Penge Park on th e 10 th of June, 1854, was less remarkable, it is tr ue , in some respects - but also in others infinitely m ore remarkable, the opening on the Ist of May, 1 851, in Hyde Park, of was not 2 of the Great Industrial Exhibition. a gathering together from all p ar t s of the world of the natural products and of the works of art an nations. It wa s not, there- ' and industry of fore, a pacific congress of the representatives of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. It was not a fairy structure of iron and glass, the l'ke of which had never been seen before, and tinder the transparent roof of which had been collected and arranged in symmetrical order the visible tokens of the extraordinary advance made in the general development of civilisation. But if the Crystal Palace of 1851 had these advantages, the Crystal Palace of 1854 had others, peculiar to itself, by which the superiority, in some respects, of its predecessor, were in others some of these very notable advantages completely and satisfactorily counterbalanced. The Crystal Palace near Syden ham, unlike that near Hyde Park Corner, was the Palace, so to speak, of the People, and not of the I Government. It is "not for an age, but for all time," or, at any rate, not for a passing occasion,' . but for a permanency. It is another and an enor- I mous stride in the way of National Education. An enterprise altogether so beneficent and i ! remarkable in its aim as at once to command the we cannot say; but, at all events, it was duly sent in, and the additional salary for the Home-office demanded, and we hear that the demand has— although not without discussion—received the Legislative sanction. Mr. CHARLES CATENDISH PULIKE GItEVILLE is now, however, permanently fixed as the recipient of 2,5001. per annum from the public revenue. The day after this matter was disposed of in ' the representative branch of the Legislature, a deputation of distinguished naval officers waited on the Financial Minister to urge the .hitherto i unrecognised claims of one who had been be- 1 queathed as a legacy to th e nation by one of its most distinguishd servants, who perished i n th e hour of victory, a ft er achieving- imperishable laurels for his country."

As well might we attempt to afford those who did not themselves listen on Saturday to the glorious sounds of the National Anthem, and to the sublime strains of the " Halle lujah" pealed forth by an orchestra of 1,700 musi cians, singersand instrumentalists, including under the hands of the latter 100 violins, 30 violoncellos, 30 violas, 30 double basses, and a corresponding variety of flutes, clarionets, bassoons, oboes, horns, trumpets, trombones, kettle-drums, and ophicleides—as well might we attempt to describe the effect produced by that immense torrent of harmonious sound, as endeavour to depict by words the aspect of either the interior or exterior of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. Enough for those who have already traversed the magical gardens and the fairy-like building, if it be said, as it may be said by them without exaggeration, that the enterprise which has already nearly attained the ample limits of its completion is one not unworthy of representing within itself the diversity, and the glory, and the beauty of modern civilisation. It constitutes at once the golden-palace and the hanging-gardens of the modern Babylon —the Acropolis of England—the Walhalla of the United Kingdom. EINEM THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1854. 1 a few hours before his lamented although glorious death, and his brothers in arms de manded some degree of information as to what were the intentions of the Ministry respecting the execution of what ought to be the sacred trust. They knew that nearly half a century had elapsed since the creation of that obligation, but that nothing whatsoever had been done—that the object of their solicitude was the wife of a hard working, but by no means over-paid, clergyman, whose zeal and energy were but scantily remune rated. She had received no testimonial of public gratitude. Nothing had been done for the child or grandchildren of ti:e Lord NELSON, and there are now " difficulties in the Way of an arrange ment." Let the public, however, consider the difference between the treatment of HORATIA NELSON THOMPSON and CHARLES CAVENDISH FULKE GREVILLE, and determine, if they can, the principle on which public rewards are apportioned. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL LYTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 5,000 bales, includ . ng 1,000 American taken for export and on speculation. The market closed steadily without change in prices. The sales comprised 3,750 American, 450 Peinam and Maran ham at 6ftd. to 7gd. ; 120 Bahia at 64-d. ; 150 Egyp tian at Gd. to 7d. ; 500 Surat at 3d. to 3-0., and 30 Sea Island at ls. to 2s. 4d. per lb. Railway shares were dull. In wheat more business has been done, but not much in other grain. The steamer Europa from New York brings dates o f May 31, with 700,000 dollars in specie. There had been three or four failures at Boston and other places, but they do not appear to have been those of first-class merchants having direct connections with England, and one of them arose from share speculations. The letters and papers by the Overland Mail have been received at last from Australia, but the dates were anticipated via Marseilles. Another Overland Mail, India and China only, is telegraphed as having reached Marseilles in the Vectis steamer, and her letters will probably be de livered here to-morrow about mid-day. The ship Woolloomooloo, which left Sydney February 27, has arrived. Her dates will not be later, nor is it yet asc er t a i ne d what amount of gold she brings.: The Stock market is flatter, and there is no acti vity apparent, the speculators being much at fault how to proceed.

And notice is further given, that as interest on the constituted shares commences from the Ist of January, 1854, it has ceased on all shares of this company not already brought in for conver sion as from the 31st of December, 1853 ; and that on all shares which shall not be brought in for con version on or before the said 3d July next, the title to the interest which had accrued. on them at 31st December, 1853, will be ahiolutely forfeited. The Railway Share Market is rather easier, but there is no important variation in the prices. York and Berwick, York and North Midland, and Great Northern, have been cheaper to buy.

VIENNA, June 9.—An official bulletin, dated from Kalarsch, acknowledges that the efforts of the Russians against Silistria have not been suc cessful, but states that the siege of the detached fort of Abd-ul-Medjid has commenced, and that the operations are proceeding rapidly. We read in the Wanderer of Vienna : " The Russians, immediately after their checks of the 29th and 30th ult., commenced the regular siege of Si listria, which appears to be carried on with energy. Preparations are already made in several places for bat tering the walls of the fortress in breach. Prince Paskie witsch is at Kalarasch. Fresh troops are constantly crossing the Danube to occupy the road between Boujouk and Karatschack-Korotza, and stop the Turkish troops who may advance to give succour to Silistria. The departure of the Russians from Wallachia appears to have commenced. General Baumgartner has evacuated his position at Tornu, and destroyed the entrenchments. He has marched down the river. At the time of the repulse of the assault on Silistria, on the 28th, Mussa Pacha called for a certain number of volunteers to pur sue the Russians ; scarcely was the demand made known when all the garrison offered themselves, and, to avoid disorder, Mussa Pacha was himself obliged to fix on two battalions. A Russian bulletin, which has been published at Kalarasch, announces that the Russians had been at tacked while they were pursuing the flying enemy, and that they had in consequence retired, but on the follow. ing day had carried a redoubt by assault. Preparations are being made at Bucharest for removing the head quarters now established in that place either to Jassy or on the Danube. General Dannen berg, with his staff, are to move to the Danube. A letter from Widdin of the 3d 'states that the assault made on a redoubt of Silistria, in the night of the 29th, was much more sanguinary than the combat of the 28th. The Russians not being able to silence the fire of the Turks, attacked them with the bayonet and experienced severe loss. The Russian troops who were beaten on the 27th at Torun belonged to the Bth division of the 3d corps. The affair was very sanguinary. The battalions of chasseurs Alexopolski and Kremoust-Sehuk were nearly destroyed and the rest only escaped by a rapid flight. The Russians had quitted Tornu on the 25th, and were quietly marching down the Danube. Selim Pacha, the commandant of Nicopoli, had assembled 3,000 men, 1,000 of whom he posted on the road from Wagoza. Salim rapidly crossed the Danube at the moment fixed on and attacked the Russian advanced guard, while the 1,000 men posted as above attacked the Russians in flank and rear. The Russians fought with courage, but were driven back on the Aluta with very severe loss." A letterfrom Sehumla, 3d, in the Press of Vienna, gives a version lathe- different from the commence ment of the above article. It esys— " A kind of armistf.ee has since the Ist followed the violent combats which have recently taken place at Silis tria. The Russians have established a second bridge of boats at Kalveja, between Silistria and Rassowa, and have constructed a tc:e-de-pont there. The Russian troops who are on the Bulgarian territory below Silistria are concentrating themselves at Kalveja, and appear to be preparing for a retrograde movement on the right bank of the Danube." The Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna has the follow ing from Bucharest, dated the 3d :—"According to the Russian accounts, their loss at the assault of Silistria amounted to 186 killed, and 379 wounded. The only son of Count Orloff received a ball in his eye, and is in danger of death; he has been brought to Bu charest. Young Kotzebue, who happened to be on the bridge destroyed by the Russian fire before Sil istaia, and who afterwards perished in the Danube, was not, as at first thought, the son of General Kotzebue, but of the Councillor of State of that name, who accompanies Prince Paskiewitsch as diplomatic agent. The Russians have abandoned the detached forts of Silistria, on the road to Al mandis, after having destroyed them. The wounded are being taken to Slobosia. Since yesterday the fortress is completely invested. 30,00 Russians are on the road to Basardschick, where the Russian regiment of Uhlans of the Archduke Albert, and a regiment of infantry have arrived." COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen left Buckingham Palace at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon to open the Crystal Palace at Syden ham.

The whole of the English Light division were at Varna. 10,000 English troops were still at Scutari. The third French di vision was daily expect3d at Constantinople. DEATH OF CAPTAIN GIFFARD, OF THE TIGER. ODESSA, June 2.—Great part of the combined fleet has left Sebastopol to transport troops from Constantinople to Varna. A few steamers are still on the Circassian coast. Capt. Giffard, of the Tiger, was buried on .the 2d. The crew of the Tiger, by the intervention of the Austrian Consul, have received their pay, and in three days will be removed to the interior. The first lieutenant will be sent to St. Petersburg, and the other officers to Moscow. The Russian Embassy will leave Athens. The dragoon corps is ordered to advance by forced marches to Moldavia. The Transylvanian frontier is described as swarming with Cossacks. OPERATIONS ON THE EAST COAST OF THE BLACK SEA.. A letter from Constantinople, 30th ult., gives the following details of the proceedings of a part of the combined squadrons •n the coast of Asia : " The steamer line-of-battle-ship Agamemnon, and the Charlemagne, screw French ship of the line, with three other steamers, which had been detached to the coasts of Georgia and Abasia, have rejoined the squa drons at Baltchik, after having accomplished several im pcitant affairs ; amongst others, the capture of the fort of Soukoum Kale, and of the town of Redout Kale. The latter place, occupied by 2,000 Russians, was attacked on the 20th, and summoned to surrender. The fort having replied to this summons by some cannon shot, Admiral Lyons ordered the bombardment of the place, which was entirely destroyed. He after• wards landed 300 French and English seamen, and 1,200 Turkish soldiers f rom th e corps d' arm e e of Batoum, whom he had embarked two days before from the camp of Chourouk Sou. At the moment of the landinc , the troops, the Russian garrison of Redout Kale retired to a village about an hour's mach distant, where they were promptly overtaken and compelled to lay down their arms. The Turkish flag was afterwards hoi - qed on the fortress, and a reinforcement of 800 men sent by Selim Paella was expected in order to form the garrison with the 1,200 abovementioned. An English frigate was leit, provisionally before the place." INTERVIEW. OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA AND KING OF PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Juno 9.—The departure of the King yesterday, for the purpose of meeting the Emperor Francis Joseph at Titschen, near the frontier of Bohemia, has produced an extraordinary sensation. This event will doubtless be regarded in England and France as of essential political importance, and one calculated to bring matters to a more com plete, if not perfect understanding between the two great governments, and thence decide the atti tude which both or either will assume, in case, as most probable, the Emperor Nicholas's reply to the Austrian " summons" should prove negatively or evasively unsatisfactory. It is indisputable that the interview, though founded on the pretext of ' presenting the Empress to her royal Prussian kins man, is essentially political. This results from the King being attended by his Minister for Fo reign Affairs and the Under Secretary for the same department (M. de Milan) ; and the Emperor by Count Buol and a high functionary of his chancel lery. The two Ministers, as well as their Sove reigns, will thus be enabled to communicate and deliberate personally. PERSIA AND RUSSIA. The Patric gives the following news from Persia " Private letters from Erzeroum of the 12th o May announce that the late Persian ambassador al St. Petersburg had arrived on his way to Teheran, The rupture between Persia and Russia was com. plete. A great number of Russian subjects resident in Persia had already left the country from appre hension of events likely to occur. TUNISIAN EXPEDITION. The Tunisian Government has given notice that it will require shipping for the conveyance of a di vision of 10,000 men to Varna, with 18 guns. CIRCASSIA. A letter from Trebisond, in the Moniteur, says : —" Selim Pacha has sent 10,000 regular troops and. 9,000 B as hi-B azouks to Ozourgueti. The Rus sians have left Ozourgueti for Koutais carrying with them 450 sick. The inhabitants of the latter place on hearing of this movement sent to the Rus sians to say that the place was in a state of famine, and that they would be badly received there. All the Russian troops who have evacuated the for tresses on the co as t f rom A napa , to Redout-Kale, have marched on Tiflis. Schamyl is within 18 hours' march of that place, at the head of 35,000 men." RETROGRADE MOVEMENT OF THE RUSSIANS. The Moniteur says :—" We learn by telegraph from Vienna, that according to information trans mitted to that capital by the telegraph from Czer novitz, in the Bukovina, an unexplained move ment was taking place in the Russian army; the corps, which were marching southwards, beyond Jassy, were ordered, it seems, to retrograde to the north, as far as Tirgu Formos, in the direction of the Bukovina and of Gallicia. The bead-quarters of Paskiewitch are also removed, it is said, to Jassy, and the Prince himself was expected by the 11th or 13th in the capital of Moldavia with all his staff. , This intelligence was published on the evening of the 9th in the (official) A ustlian CurrevoncLitz." THE BALTIC. BERLIN', June 11.—The Desperate has arrived at Dantzig. She left the fleet all well on the 6th, snugly an• chored in sight of Helsingfors. : , Nothing new. STOCKHOLM, June 7.—News has arrived here that Admiral Sir Charles Napier, with nine screw liners, was off Sweaborg (Helsingfors) on the 4th of June. The rest of the fleet was cruising in the neighbourhood. June B.—The Stvenska Tidningen confirms the arrival of Admiral Napier before Porkala Bay, three miles south-west of Sweaborg. They can descry the Russian fleet, about ten liners, lying at anchor behind the batteries. Admiral Corry is ad vancing with his squadron. The King of Sweden and the Crown Prince are going for a few days to inspect the troops in the island of Gotbland. ROSTOCK, June 5.--The English have appeared again off Libau, and have taken away 1.0 ships from the harbour, which they regard as good prizes. - ARCHANGEL, May 27.—The ice in the river broke up on the 12th May, and since then two ships have arrived from sea. COPENHAGEN, June 3.—The Swedish papers contain further details of the affair at Ekness on the 19th and 20th of May. The Hecla, 6 guns, Captain Hall, appears to have distinguished her self very much. She once ran ashore, was towed off by the Arrogant, 46, Captain Yelverton, and played the principal part in destroying the Rus s►an battery. A couple of days later the Hecla went to Stockholm, where Captain Hall was received on the 29th, with great enthusiasm. It was rumoured in Stockholm that the British fleet, which on the 27th still lay before Hango, had received orders to go up to Helsingfors. Letters from Torneaelf, in Finland, of the 21st of May state that the Russian Government has or dered the Custom-house officers of every Finnish sea town to make known to Finnish shipowners that they ought not to sell their vessels, as the Government had assured free navigation to them in the following manner :—That shipowners or shipmasters had only to apply to Hamburg or to a Prussian town for the rights of a citizen in that town, and that it would be granted them, with out their thereby losing their. Russian nationality; and that Prussian shipping-bills would then be forwarded to them in their quality of Prus sian citizens. In fact, cases are known where Finnish vessels, upon examination of, their ship ping documents by British cruisers, have been released on account of their Prussian nationality. A Danish officer who has lately been up to the Finnish Gulf with the Danish Government screw corvette Thor states that the fogs are still very heavy in those waters, and that before their dis appearance all operations on the Finnish coast are difficult and dangerous. The same officer spoke highly of Captain Key, of the Amphion, and his exploits at Libau. The Bulldog yesterday arrived from the French fleet at Kiel, and returns to the British fleet. The following ordinance has recently come into force in Finland, but it has not been formally published from the fear that it would excite great discontent : " We, Nicholas 1., &c., order that the laws relative to the censorship shall be completed in Finland by the following enactments :—lndependently of the works of which the publication is generally prohibited on ac count of their splrlt and contents, there cannot be published in the Finn language any new work, pam phlet, periodical, or non-periodical writing of whatever extent it may be, unless it exclusively refers to religion, or economic utility. It is absolutely forbidden to publish in the Finn language, political news or novels, even the novels which the censorship allows to be pub lished in another language. This ordinance, however, does not prejudice the right of reproducing works which have been previously printed in the Finn language, and consequently Finn traditions and legends, the old songs and the popular poetry of Finland. We also permit the reproduction Of dictionaries and school books already printed in the Finn language ; but no new work, book, or pamphlet, even of the category of school books can be published without our authorisation." - COPENHAGEN, Juno 6.—After his victory at Eckness, Captain Hall could have destroyed that village in an hour ; but he gallantly spared it. Its inhabitants were gazing at hi - tett from their homes. He would not injure these poor people, who had done nothing against England. His first lieute nant, Readcrew, is now, it is hoped, out of danger, and his sight may perhaps be preserved to him. The Russian account of the attack on Gustafsvarn, on the 27th, represents the affair as an entire failure, and the result—killed, none ; wounded, eight. A still more extravagant statement must have been given in No. 118 of Finland's.Allmaiina Tidning, and intended for the natives, for it has not been sent to the foreign correspondents. A battalion of 12 gunboats is being fitted out at Stockholm. Captain Hall (of the Hecla) has just inspected Skeppsholmen, the gunboat station there. FR 'ONCE. • A rumour has bica freely circulated for soli?o days past in Paris, that the Emperor of Russia, in answer to the l as t no t e sent by the Austrian Ca bi ; net, had p ropose d an armistice, which would g il s time for th e. open i ng of negotiations upon terult which might be the basis of an arrangement ; bu few ever attached much importance to any such rumour, and it has now been allowed to die a wa J r : r It is, in fact, easy to conceive that the Dint, Nicholas would follow out Jiis ordinary P° of duplicity by proposing anything that woul d Lt gain him time ; but it is equally evident that it would be contrary to the interests of i England and France to grant it, and that, if rant'g t the Czar would be the only gainer.

The following is a transcript of the ordinance of the amnesty issued by King Otho and the new Council of Ministers : " OTHO, RY THE GRACE GOD, KING OF . GREECE, &c. " Taking into consideration that during the events which have recently taken place in the provinces conti guous to the Ottoman territory, certain officers of our army have proceeded to the theatre of those events, and desirous of preventing to those officers the disagreeable consequences which may follow to them, and with the advice of our Council of Ministers, we have resolved and decreed as follows : "1. We grant a corn plete amnesty to such of those officers as have exceeded the term of their leave, or as have aban doned without our authorisation their posts in order to take part in the events above-mentioned, as also to those officers whose resignations have been accepted at their demand, occasioned by the same events, provided that within the term of one month from the date of the pro mulgation of the present 0.-dinance they present them selves before a m;litary authority of the kingdom. " 2. Those who belong to this last category shall be reinstated in their rank. " Our Ministers will countersign the present ordi nance, and are charged with its execution, each in what concerns him. (Signed) " OTHON. (Countersigned) " C. CANARIS, R. PALAMIDES, " D. KALLERGI, G. PSYLLA, "P. ARGYROPOCLOS, P. CALLIGAS. " Athens, 18 (30) May, 1854." Admiral Le Barbier de Tinan, who, on the de parture of General Forey, was left in command of the naval and military forces at the Piraeus, has addressed to the troops placed under his orders the following proclamation : "Officers, Sub-officers, and Soldiers !—Appointed by the confidence of his Majesty to the command-in-chief of the expeditionary corps in Greece, I shall not renew any of the recommendations given you by General Forey before his departure. I shall confine myself to telling you that wherever the French troops present themselves disorder must disappear ; such is the will of the Emperor, and I will make it respected." The new Greek Ministry has published the fol 'owing proclamation : " Greeks !—Called by his Majesty our King to take he reins of government, we comprehend the unfortunate situation of our country. Commerce is interdicted to our fellow-citizens ; the navy is condemned to inaction, and other dangers threaten the nation, exposed to the resentments of the two great powers which have loaded us with benefits. His Majesty our King, in his affection far the nation, taking into consideration all these dangers and all these misfortunes, Las pledged himself to the two maritime powers to maintain perfect neutrality. By this accord all dangers are avoided and we shall again find the advantages of which we are deprived. We re spect more than any one the generous sympathy of the Greeks for our brethren, in whose fate the two protecting powers so warmly interest themselves. The future fate of Greece is in the hands of Divine Providence ; never theless, by the free application of our constitutional in stitutions, the development of our commerce and of our industry, and more particularly by our good faith and in tegrity in our relations with other nations, we may render ourselves worthy of the fate which is reserved for us. These ideas will be supported and developed by our re spectable president, whose arrival we wait for with impa tience. We are persuaded that our fellow-citizens, ap proving of our sentiments, which are inspired by the purest patriotism, will know how to distinguish between the possible and the impossible, and will lend us the indis pensable co-operation of their words and their actions, in order to bring back security and traquillity to our fellow citiens and to the kingdom." STATE OF GREECE.—A gentleman, who has re sided 40 years in G reece, t h us writes to a friend in England, datin g just before th e A ng l o -F rench oc cupation of thePirus :—" Greece is now in a sad state, and its pecuniary resources, both as to revenue and commerce, are daily diminishing. In fact, this country may be now considered in a complete state of disorganisation and even anarchy, through the foolish and unaccountable conduct of the Government. French troops will, it is asserted, occupy Greece. God grant they may do so I It is the only measure which can bring the Greeks to their senses and save the country. The Greeks are all Russians in heart and soul ; and, it is won derful to me that there are still persons in England who believe the assertions of the Greeks iu Eng land, that they are not partisans of Russia. They may say so, in order to gain the sympathy of the English ; but be assured that in heart and wishes they are all for the Russians. John Bull is very credulous sometimes, and the Greeks, who are keen and intelligent, know this, and work on his credulity."

GOLD IN OREGON.—The Californian papers state that gold has been discovered in various parts of the terri tory. The Pioneer and Democrat contains a letter from Steilacoom, dated April 4, by which it appears that gold has been discovered near that place in con siderable quantities. Numbers of the people went to work with pick, pan, and shovel. One specimen worth two dollars was found, and 25 dollars was taken from a hole of two feet square in the course of one day. Claims had been taken up and companies formed to prosecute the se arc h f or the precious ore with vigour . Discoveries had also been made on the Yakima river, and large quantities taken out and carried to the settle ment by the Indians. The Yakima heads near the Cascade Mountains, on the east side, and runs east for nearly one d egree, when it turns in a southerly direction. and empties into the Columbia, near Walla-Walla.
