t ~ -.~ TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF GREENWICH. Gentlemen, A 'vacancy having occurred in the representation of your Borough by the lamented death of Mr. Barnard, I beg to offer myself as a can didate for your suffrages. Although my opinions upon public questions are known to many of you, I would reiterate my attachment to those liberal principles which have tended so greatly to advance-the interests of all classes of our fellow subjects. The progress of spciety demands still further . social and political reforms, and I need hardly say that you will find In me a firm supporter of an extension of the suffrage, and a steady - promoter of any measures adapted t o ame li orate the condition of the PeOPle• _ . Looking Wand me, I may sincerely say that nothing of late years has tended more to the advancement of society than the ex teasion of religious freedom in this country. I believe the peace, happiness, and comfort that now prevail may be greatly attributed to that habit of deference for the opinions of others, without which civil liberty is, in fact, but a name. From personal experience I can speak of the progress of religious toleration. Subject in the early period of my life to disabilities and annoyances, some arising from antiquated laws and customs, others from traditional usage or be nighted prejudice, I have in later years, through the diffusion of education, the prevalence of better understood principles of go vernment, and, above all, by the blessing of Providence, been enabled to hold many offices of public trust and importance, the duties of which, I may safely say, I have discharged without disadvantage to either the religious or civil interests of the country. I bate been brought up to the habits of business, and have de voted much care and attention to commercial questions. You may, therefore, rely upon my supporting all measures tending to increase the general trade, commerce, and manufactures of the country, and particularly those that more immediately concern your local in terests. _ . I feel convinced that these sentiments and principles are enter tained by a large majority of your body ; arid, having received very extensive assurances of support, I look with confidence to the day of election to prove that you think me worthy to discharge the im portant trust which I now solicit at your hands. I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, DAVID SALOMONS. 3, Great Cumberland place, Hyde-park, June 18, 1851. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. SOIREES EXTRAORDINAIRE.

Ministers complain, and with justice, of the perti nacity of the Irish Members in continuing an useless opposition to a measure which has on several occasions been affirmed by decisive majorities. It is not our purpose to defend " the Brigade" against the charge of unnecessarily wasting the public time, or of exhi biting a contemptuous disregard for the wishes of the great body of the popular representatives. Although we censure their conduct, we can not but acknowledge that it is not on a matter of light or trivial importance that they have entered on such a contest. They conceive—er roneously conceive—that the religion which they conscientiously profess is assailed, and they resort to every possible system of tactics to retard the passing of the law, and to annoy the Government by which it has been introduced. But if even such a cause cannot afford an adequate justification for their proceedings, what can be said in favour of the dogged and obstinate pertinacity of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in refusing to yield to the wishes of several successive majorities of the House, clearly and unequivocally expressed, for the redress of the serious grievances under which the distillers of Scotland and Ireland are suffering ? What right have the colleagues of Sir CHARLES WOOD, who abet him in his continued opposition to the " Home-made Spirits in Bond Bill," notwith standing five successive defeats, and who sanction his determination " to resist the measure at every stage of its progress," to complain of factious conduct on the part of any Members of the House ? They have no locus siandi; they cannot come into court with clean hands, or justly complain if the course which they themselves pursue in a matter of comparatively trivial importance should be followed by others in a matter which they consider of the most vital conse quence to themselves and their co-religionists. But let us for a moment pause to consider the point in dispute, the question respecting which our sagacious Minister of Finance thinks it right and proper to exhibit his mulish propensities of resistance and palpable disrespect to the House. If ever there was a demand based upon plain and simple equity, it is that preferred by the distillers of the sister king doms. If ever there was a case where the cry of " Justice to Ireland," aye, and to Scotland—for both countries are equally injured—could be fairly and properly raised, it is that now under notice. No dis interested person could hesitate for a moment as to the full and unconditional recognition of the mode rate and equitable claim. It is in fact difficult to conceive how even Sir CHARLES WOOD himself could raise a doubt on the subject. The Irish and Scotch distillers seek no favour, They have not put forward any complaint at the gross partiality which deprives them of any share in the public contracts for the supply of spirits to the navy. 'We believe no person will allege that Scotch or Irish whisky is not as pure, as wholesome, and as cheap a spirit as rum ; that it would not be in every respect as acceptable and as beneficial to the seaman, and yet no part of the quantity required is taken from Scotland or Ireland,—all is the produce of the colo nies. Now, although we freely admit the right of the colonists to claim equality with their Irish, or Scotch, or English brethren, we cannot concede any superiority, or acknowledge that they are to be given a monopoly. Fair competition —a clear stage, and no favour—should be allowed to all. Let the productions of the colonies and of the Bri tish isles be brought fairly into the market, with equal advantages, and then " let the best man win," or the most useful article bring the price and command the sale to which it is fairly entitled. But, revenons a nous moutons, we are, to a certain extent, travelling out of the record. The point at issue under Lord NAAs's Bill is not the undue fa vouritism exhibited towards the colonies in giving them the exclusive supply of the Royal Navy, although that, along with many vexatious Excise -- regulations, which materially lessen the demand for the article, may form fitting sub jects for future comment. The simple point is whether duty at the rate of three or four hundred per cent. is to be paid on an ima- ginary thing, which has evaporated, vanished into thin air, soaked or leaked away, but which is certainly not available for the producer ? The Irish and Scotch distillers say that they are quite ready and willing to pay duty on all the spirit that is brought into consumption, and for which they receive payment. They are also willing to submit to the loss in strength and quantity that is inevitable even when the article is stored in the best circmstanced warehouses, in !stores of special security, where there is no possi bility of itsbeing tampered with, but they doreasonably object to have that original loss more than quadrupled by being compelled t o p a y d u ty on th a t w hi c h h as been completely wasted, and that objection is ren dered more striking by the fact that, not only their colonial, but even their foreign rivals, are altogether exempted from this grievance. Aswe may men ti on the followingfact,,anthe accuracy of illustration, which is v ouc h ed on the highest authority. Four quarter casks of brandy were landed and stored in the Customhouse of Dublin, in February, 1849, and taken out between the July and January followipg. on the gauge and trial of strength the contents of these casks when stored, were found to be 108 gallons, but when brought into use , an d the duty paid, they had reduced to 102 gall ons , on which duty only was charged -41. 103. b e i ng t h us rem itted to the producer. Messrs. GORGE Roy- and Co. had some time previously stored 113 gallons, 25 per cent. over proof, equivalent to 141.25 proo f ga ll ons . Th ere was subsequently 4 gallons, 25 over proof, added, making altogether 146. 25 proof gallons. When taken out of bond there Was only 112 gallons, 5.9 over proof, equivalent to 118.60 proof gallons ; Messrs. ROE being thus charged for 27.65 proof gallons, which was deficient, and absolutely wasted. The free-trade CHANCEL LOR Of the EXCHEQUER, however, desires to afford this protection to the foreigner, and if possible to drive the native producer from the market. We trust, however that the Right Hon. Baronet LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1851. will be foiled in this attempt—that the Legislature of the United lii gdom will not consent to stultify itself at his dictation by rejecting that of which they have v arGYed on five several occasions, the numbs of votes in favour of the Bill being 275, while those against it amounted to 223 only. Let every independent Member, every lover of equity and justice, every one that recog nises the good old principle of fair play, attend in their places to-morrow evening, and show the Mi nister of Finance, that the British Parliament is not to be dictated to by a—Sir CHARLES WooD. Yesterday our columns contained, in the Parliamen tary reports, a speech delivered on the preceding evening by Viscount PALMERSTON of a character so elevated in its sentiments and so generous in its prin ciples as to reflect the highest honour upon the Noble Lord, both as a statesman and an administra tor. It will not be forgotten that the discussion which called forth the remarks of the Chief Secretary of the Foreign Department of the Government was provoked by the resolution submitted to the British House of Commons by the Hon. Representative of the West Riding of Yorkshire in favour of an interna tional reduction of armaments. Otherwise we might say, that on Tuesday evening Mr. COBDEN formally laid before the Imperial Le gislature the scheme so long indulged in by himself and his associates, the originators and promo ters of the Peace Association. Repeatedly as we have written upon this same gigantic day-dream of arbi tration, it cannot for a single instant remain a matter of doubt to our readers whether we regard it and its advocates with contempt or with complacency. From the very outset of the movement we have protested against it as a most idle and fantastic illusion, a pro ject not less singularly Utopian than that of M. CABET in regard to Icarie, or than the famous enterprises ad ventured upon in bygone centuries for the discovery of PRESTBIL JOHN'S dominions. So long, indeed— such has throughout been our argument upon the subject under consideration—so long as human nature is marked by its present characteristics, so long as cupidity, and jealousy, and envy, and ambition are known as actuating passions among nations and among individuals, so long will it be frivolous to anticipate the arrival of a time when war shall be impossible, when guns shall fire only in celebration of fete days and joyful anni versaries, when the lion shall lie down with the lamb, and the swords be beaten into ploughshares, and the spears into reaping-hooks. It is all reason able enough to talk of the compact entered into be tween England and the United States, whereby the great inland lakes of North America were rendered the scenes of commercial enterprises, instead of re maining the arenas of bloodshed and spoliation. But it should be remembered that the analogy scarcely holds good in the present instance, seeing that the one implies a treaty between two states, where as the other would necessitate an agreement of the most complicated description between all the powers and principalities of both hemispheres. Already we have discovered by expe rience that a good example is but indifferently effec tual in inducing contemporary Governments to fol low that of the United Kingdom in any grand under taking in the way of improvement. Free trade has been adopted by England, but hitherto the course pursued by our Legislature in this matter has not elicited a similar evidence of liberality from the other nations of the four continents. Yet in reference to free trade the national interests are not jeopardized by the apathy of surrounding countries, whereas in regard to the question of a reduction of armaments the very existence of the empire would be at stake if the Cabinet consented to any precipitate experiment. Therefore it is that we rejoice to witness the resolute manner in which Lord PALMERSTON refused to accede in any way to the benevolent but preposterous suggestions of Mr. COBDEN and his colleagues. In rejecting the proposition of the Hon. Member for the West Riding, however, the Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs articulated sentiments calculated to proclaim the patriotism by which his whole soul is animated in the discharge of his many anxious and onerous responsibilities, and not merely the patriotism of the Noble Lord's temperament, but the pacific solicitude by which his entire policy has for years been actuated. Quidnuucs, without honesty or without informa tion, may talk fluently and flippantly enough of her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary as a diplomatist ever ready to plunge Europe into flames, and to bring down all the calamities of war by way of effec tually impeding the progress of civilization. Mr. URQUHART is not the only person in the United Kingdom accustomed to talk in this idle man ner of the conduct of one of the wisest and noblest of living statesmen. History tells, however, a tale very different from this, proclaiming the skill with which Lord PALMERSTON has during many years guided the interests of his fatherland through the difficulties of the most perilous crisis, without embroiling the country with the rest of Christendom, or in any other manner militating against the course of human im provement. Experience assures us, on the contrary, that so far from being the firebrand he has frequently been designated, her MAJESTY'S Principal Foreign Secretary has shown himself the peacemaker and arbiter between the rival forces of Absolutism and Democracy, of Reaction and Revolution. In testimony of this it is only necessary to direct the general attention to the manner in which he con ducted our diplomacy through the dangers of 1848, the bewildering and almost overwhelming perils of the years of political convulsions, the epoch of the great European Mindquake. Sedulous, moreover, as have been his endeavours to secure the uninter rupted tranquillity of England in her relations with the rest of the powers of Christendom, his regard for the interests and the dignity of Great Britain has been as vigilant as it has been uncompromising. In somuch so that the name of PALMERSTON is a gua rantee of security to every Englishman floating under the shadow of the national standard upon all the seas of the globe, whether they be " icing the pole, or in the torrid clime, dark heaving." A watchword of protection to his fellow. countrymen, the title of this illustrious statesman is at the same time a watchword of terror to the most puissant potentates of the earth if in any instance they have tampered with the rights or liberties of an Englishman. And all this has come to pass under the influence of the foreign policy as at present carried out by Viscount PALMERSTON, a policy which it would neither be wise nor grateful on the part of the community to abandon merely for the sake of grasping at the shadow of this dim and illusory boon of Arbitration.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert (after presiding at the meeting held at St. Martin's-hall on the occasion of the Jubilee of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel), attended by the Hon. Colonel Bouverie and the Hon. Colonel Grey, was pleased to visit the northern schools of the royal parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, recently erected with the aid of her Majesty and the Prince. The number of children in attendance at the schools was 350; and, after seeing them arranged in their several school-rooms, his Royal Highness proceeded to the covered play-ground on the roof, where 120 clothed children of the parochial schools, and about 400 of the old national schools were assembled, and by his Royal Highness's permission, welcomed their illustrious visitor with a song. His Royal Highness was pleased to enter his name in the visitors' book as a permanent record of his visit. The vicar and clergy, with the churchwardens and school com mittees, were in attendance.

His request was granted, and the inquiry commenced. It is said that the slight majority inquiry wa s on ly o bt a i ne d M. CAR LIER th a t h e was i n possession of information relatin g t o cer t a i n say hagyaialossitgnaifiPoa Parliamentary e t n f ta ro r m y say ings and doings of General CHANGARNIER and the other members of the party which in the event of a Parliamentary inquiry, it would become necessary to make public. M. THIERS, M. JULES DE LASTEYRIE, and General CIIkNGARNIER voted with the Government against inquiry, and General D'HAUTPOUL and M. LEMILLIER abstained from voting. The Palrie announces that the differences between France and the Sandwich Islands have been arranged. The Committee on the revision yesterday held its third sitting. M. DE CORCELLES said the proposition of General CAVAIGNAC, that the question between a Republic or a Monarchy should be first decided on, was inadmissible. It was in his opi n i on a ki n d o f defiance thrown out. He had, he sa id, accepted the Republic in good faith, but he Vould no t d ec l are t h at it was his creed. M. CHARAAAULE considered that perfectly M. BERRYER had right in his obser- AC its . son o s r e m , n vGa o et t nioe a nr c sa C l e aC p nA t d e V d A a t a h Ns . wa s P e e d r f et a cr nitted the national as he considered it of. government. M. Duroux said that, as the recision o ff ere d a c h ance of averting the dangers of 185 S it ought to be voted, sovheardeigantryighitn to its choose widestaa it was the duty of the Assembly not to neglect any means which might tend to the safety of the country. General CAVAIGNAC repeated the opinion which he had before expressed. He said le had never invented the words "divine right" as applied to the Republic. The party of order, as it was called, in his opinion only sought for the means of musing anarchy. M. BERRYER repeated his former arguments in favour of a total revision. If the form of Government were not changed, Art. 45 must be maintained. M. CHARRAS could not conceive why so many words should be thrown away on the 'ubject. The Consti tuent Assembly would have no other rights than those defined in the Constitution, and within the limits of the wish expressed by the Legislative Power. M. MOULIN said that the Committee had not to come to any resolution on the Constitution itself ; it was uni versally admitted to be defectite, and that it must be revised. The Committee on the Bill tgainst clubs met yes terday, and instructed M. Jtmss DE LASTEYRIE to draw up a report in favour of the Bill. Messrs. Bounzir, Durostr (de Bassac), and seven other Members of the Mountain, have laid be fore the Assembly a proposition for a negotiation to be opened with the Holy See, for the suppression of eighteen of the thirty diocesan or metropolitan sees, established in execution of the law of July 4, 1821. The Journal de l' Oise announces that the PRE SIDENT of the Republic has accepted the invitation of the Municipality of Beauvais, to be present at the inauguration of the statue of grEANNE HACHETTE, on the 6th of July. There were several fluctuatiozs observed in the price of Government Securities at the Bourse.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales; of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The sales comprised 7,000 American and 300 Pernam and Maran ham, at bid. to 71d.; 150 Bahia, at bid. to qd.; 700 Egyptian, at 6}d. 9id.; and 2,000 Surat, at 3id. to 4id. per lb. The market closed very firmly with prices of American id. and Surat id. per lb. higher.—The market for Railway Shares closed extremely heavy at the lowest prices of the day. From the Circular of Messrs. Schrcnder and Mummy, dated Now Orleans, May 24th, and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool, we extract the following re lative to the Cotton•market:—" Since our Circular of the 10th inst. our Cotton market has been in a state of great fluctuation, during the first week the sales reach ing 28,000 bales, at a rate establishing a decline of ic. to ie. per lb. on the lower grades. The telegraphic dis patches, received early this week, per Franklin, from_ Havre, imp ar t e d more f i rmness to holders, and the sales made were at gradually improving rates for a day or two. Wh en t h e arr i val of the Africa from Liverpool was announced, with dates to the 10th inst., her advices checked the ameliorated spirit of operations—the market relapsed into dulness, but the transactions since show that the improvement previously gained has not been en tirely overcome. For all descriptions, from even run ning strictly middling upwards, the currency has not deviated materially at any time, and is now the same as the Africa's news found it. Our receipts at all the ports have continued in the aggregate on the increase, the ex cess being now 281,815 bales; this figure it is believed will be diminished progressively hereafter, but too late, we apprehend, to effect seriously the European market for the better; and while we incline to the opinion that our own markets will hereafter, for this season, main tain themselves nearly, any positively untoward news from your side may thwart present prospects in this particular. For the time being, however, the decline in freights tend to strengthen prices, and induce buyers to enter the market. The weather is warm, and favourable to the young plant, which has been spared by the cold weather and frosts. Ordinary, 7te. to 74c.; good ordi nary, Bc. t o Si c . ; m i ddling, Sic. to 9c.; good middling, 91c. to 9ic.; middling fair, 9,ic. to 10e.; fair, 11c. to 1 lic. Sales during the last fortnight, 52,600 bales. Receipts at this port since Ist of September, 914,798 bales, against 763,371 bales last year. Increase of re ceipts at all the ports up to latest dates, 281,815 bales." Late yesterday afternoon the letters and papers by the steamer Baltic from the United States were deli vered. The New York commercial reports state that "the activity of the spring season has passed away, but enough demand remains to keep the market from list lessness. Some few goods are shipping, and the clothiers are buying to a moderate extent. Brown sheetings and ahirtings have been in some request for export, but with a very heavy stock prices are not firm. Bleached goods are in a very limited demand, and are heavy. Brown drills at Sic., have been exported to a small extent, but blues and bleached are quiet, and all are heavy. Osna burghs are quiet and prices drooping. Denims are in better request at fair prices, considering the large sales effected at auction within a short period. " Stripes are dull and heavy; ticks are being pressed on the market not to the improvement of prices. Cotton flannels are without animation. Printing cloths are in active; holders are anxious to sell, but dealers are hold ing back for lower prices; at Providence prices have re ceded one-eighth, and the market closing unsettled. Prints have been very dull, the season being over. Ginghams are quiet but steady. Lawns show consider able activity, and aro very firm. Cotton pantaloonery is offered freely on the market, but without effect; prices are heavy. Delaines are inactive. Cloths are in request for the clothing trade to a small extent; the selections made are for the fall trade; prices are more steadily for these goods than for spring and summer styles of goods. Cassimeres are dull. Satinets are without material de mand, and prices are heavy. Linseys are in better de mand, but prices are not buoyant. Sheep's greys are firm but quiet. Jeans and tweeds are inactive. Flannels are dull, with a considerable stock. Blankets are firm, but without active inquiry. In foreign goods the ac tivity is confined to lawns and to clothing articles. Serges are in good inquiry, but the general trade is dull, and prices are unprofitably low. French goods show extreme depression. The consumption has been unpre cedentedly large. Never in any year previously has such an enormous mass of French goods been sold; and though the prices have been ruinously low, the advan tage has been great to the numerous consu mers. The country has not suffered from it. There needs no idle lamentations, as individual losses will not deprive the market of a future supply. Indeed, this has been the great feature of the spring trade ; great activity, excessive supply, low prices, large losses, which may, before the year expires, become more manifest, but with general public gain. We are now between the spring and fall seasons, and business is con fined to staple articles, which are more or less even in aredemand. The markets genera l ly are falling. All staples al do The wool, silk, tobacco, flour, grain, and provisions. In the autumn we shall have increased plenty, and at low prices. We may be confident then in an active business for the fall season, but under circum stances that re qu i re great prudence, ' foresight, and cal culation, to realize a profit. Without great trading tact and skill individuals run a chance of losing money ; but the great public cannot fail to derive benefit. Plenty will exist to be diffused, while there is pretty certain grounds for supposing that means to purchase will be widely diffused. Bad crops would be the only bane; but of that present appearances do not favour." One curious circumstance mentioned in this elaborate statement is that the French manufacturers have been forcing off their goods at such enormous sacrifices. In this respect they appear to act precisely the same as the French agriculturists, and may have yet to buy back raw materials at least at a higher value than they obtained relatively in their late sales. A notice has been issued by the Committee for pro moting the formation of Tribunals of Commerce that a meeting will be held next Tuesday at Willis's Rooms, and it is stated regarding the want of such tribunals that " in view of this fact the Committee for the promo tion of Tribunals of Commerce in this country have de termined upon the furtherance of a cause confessedly moat important, agreeing as they do with their Noble President that it is not enough to say that an opinion unfavourable to our present mode of adjusting commer cial differences prevails, but also that gentlemen who would reform that mode must express their opinion, other wise they cannot hope to see the movement carried to an effectual conclusion."

TUE SOCIETY or ARTS.—A converzatione of the members of this interesting society • took place last evening. There were some beautiful specimens of various works in art, embracing almost all its departments, laid before the assembled visitors. The superb series of enamel portraits of Cromwell, Bolingbroke, Lord William Russell, Algernon Sidney, &C., were again exhibited. A fine painting by Lucas Cranacb, from the collection of the Duke of Lucca, the sub ject of which was "Judith bearing the head of Holofernes," excited general attention. It is a perkct exemplification of the mariner in which the portraits of living historical per sonages were transmitted to portraits by the German school of art as ideal creations. Some exquisitely beautiful speci mens of Talbotype, contributed by Messrs. Henneman and Malone, were amongst the most attractive objects exhibited. The baud of the Royal Artillery was in attendance, and per formed selections from 11 Crociato, La Gazza Ladra, and Lc Domino Noir. Amongst the literary and scientific gen tlemen who graced the evening's amusement with their pre sence, we recognised Mr. 11. T. Hope, M.P., Sir Win. Ross, Sir Thomas Wilson, Sir William J. Newton Professor John son, and a number of titl e d and distinguished foreigners. THE AGAPEMONE.—A house of business in Bristol, having recently sent some goods to "the Abode of Love," had the bill returned to be made out afresh, according to the following note :—" The Agapemone, near Bridgwater, June, 1851.—Messrs.

The Epoca says :—" The reports which have been current of the immediate prorogation of the Cortes, begin to acquire consistency. The sittings, it is said, will be closed on the 30th inst., and not be re sumed until the 10th Oct. The plan of the Ministry is said to be to immediately present the budget and the Bill for the regulation of the public debt ; to ob tain the nomination of a committee favourable to its views, and then to close the session. The Com mittees will act during the Parliamentary inter regnum."

Ex change on London, 51. GERMANY. A letter from Hamburgh of the 14th says— " The Austrians have arrested and sent to Altona a journeyman carpenter of the faubourg St. Paul, instead of delivering him to the local authorities. They have in like manner arrested a Hamburgh gentleman, for de nouncing the late disorders in conversation with a friend in the streets. These and similar proceedings have created a bitter feeling of irritation among the people, who call for the withdrawal of the Austrian troops —a demand which it is said the Senate have instructed their envoy at Vienna to urge on the Austrian Government." The Frankfort correspondence of the Cologne Ga zette gives some details relative to the deliberations of the federal diet in its last two sittings. One of the questions discussed was that of the German fleet. Hanover proposed to preserve it ; Prussia thought that the question ought to be examined by a commitee of five members, and that if they pronounced negatively, the propositions of the maritime states of Germany should be heard as to the conditions on which they would take charge of the fleet. The pro position of Prussia was adopted, and the committee is to be composed of representatives of Austria, Prus sia, Hanover, Bavaria, and one from the Hans-towns. The question of Electoral Hesse was also discussed, and all that was decided was, to lay down the prin ciple that modifications ought to be effected in the constitution of the Electorate. With respect to Schleswig-Holstein, the Diet simply gave its consent to the formation of a commission of three Danish Members and three Holstein ones, for the delimita tion of the frontiers. GREECE. CHANGE OF MINISTRY. Athens journals of the 6th announce a modification of the Greek Cabinet. The Ministry is now composed as follows :—President of the Council and Minister of Marine, M. CRIESIS ; Finances, M. CHRISTIDES ; Fo reign Affairs, M. Pamos ; War, M. SPIROMILLO; Justice, M. DABIIANOS ; Interior, MELELOPOULOI:IB ; Public Instruction, M. BAEBOGLOUS. This change of Ministry does not, according to the Courrier d'Athens, indicate any change of policy, and appears to have t been caused chiefly by the resignation of some members of the late Cabinet who had not the confidence of the KING. Brigandage was still car ried on to a great extent in different parts of Greece, and the journals mention several cases of murder as well as robbery. ITALY. The Duke of MODENA has issued a decree, enact ing that those of bis subjects who desire to insure their property against fire shall declare their intention to a committee named for the purpose by the Go vernment, and thenceforth form part of a mutual in surance company, consisting of Modenese subjects only. No Modenese subject is bencefortb to insure his property in a foreign insurance office. Nevertheless, such contracts as exist at present are to be respected until their expiration. THE IRISH PARLIAMENTARY BRIGADE.-0110 Of her Majesty's Ministers residing in the immediate vicinity of the Carlton-gardens, entertained at dinner, some evenings since, a select circle of his Parliamentary friends. Among the various topics of conversation none was discussed with greater gusto than the factious stand made by the Irish bri gade against the Papal Aggression Bill. The pertinacious exploits of each defender of his " Holiness" were examined in turn, and the analy sa ti on was a bout becoming somewhat hypercritical, when the noble host, with great sang froid, remarked that the efforts of the Irish party, so far as noise and want of harmony was concerned, entitled them to the designation of " The Pope's brass band." Premier, Peer, and Parliamentary representative joined heartily in repeated rounds of laughter, at the expense of the Irish phalanx— the bon mot quickly escaped from the confines of Carlton terrace, and in the House of Commons the Irish obstructives are now recognised by no other title than " The Pope's brass band." • SLOOP LOST IN MOUNT'S BAT, AND CREW DnowNxn.—On Wednesday last, about 4 P.M., the lugger Olivia, Captain Kelynack, in running for Gwavaa Lake, overhauled about two miles off from St. Loy, a sloop also running and near a mile to windward. There was nothing about her to attract very peculiar attention, nor was there shown any token or sign of distress, but after passing her some distance, the man at the helm in casting a glance astern discovered her rapidly sinking: they immediately hauled to, and in an half-an-hour had reached the spot, when they discovered a man holding on a water-keg with a chain in each hand ; he being the lee side they got so near as to throw him a rope, but life appeared to be extinct, as he made not the least effort to grasp it, but fell away flat on his back with his arms abroad. He appeared to be an elderly man and was bleeding profusely from a cut over the eye, and had on at the time a " sou-wester." They picked up a few floating, articles but nothing to give any clue as to where the vessel belonged. The weather at the time being so stormy the Olivia, after a fruitless search of some time, was obliged to run for her own safety. The canvas on the sloop was a mainsail and a jib, apparently much worn, the former with two or three cloths split in the lee, and a new foresail. Since the above has been in type, we have received further intelligence, so as to leave no doubt that she was the Plymouth Packet, Captain 'William Ifitchens, laden with stone, and bound for Scilly.—Cornish Telegraph.

The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham. and Lord Darnley. The appeal heard to day was Mariaeski v. Cairns, but it did not present any feature of general interest. JUDICIAL COMMITTEE of PRIVY COUNCIL.—(THIS DAY.) The Judicial Committee sat this morning at WI o'clock. The arguments in the part-heard appeal of Wallace v. Fielding, re Oriental Company, were resumed. The case was interesting only to parties concerned. SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BIIRCHELL.) OLIVER v. WINTER. This was an action brought to recover damages under the following circumstances:— It appeared by the evidence, that the plaintiff had ac cepted a bill of exchange for the accommodation of an* other party, defendant having given a guarantee to indemnify the plaintiff for so doing. The bill when it came to maturity was dishonoured, and proceedings were taken against the plaintiff, who was taken in exe cution, and only released on giving a warrant of attor ney for the debt and costs, amounting to 1351. The plaintiff now claimed not only for the amount paid , but for the incon ven i ence he had sustained by being locked up for several days. The Learned UNDER -SHERIFF said there could be no doubt that the plaintiff was entitled to recover for all the damage he had sustained, but perhaps it would be diffi cult for the jury to estimate the damage as to the im prisonment, for the plaintiff having made himself liable for the payment of the bill, ought to have paid it; had he done so in the first instance, he would not have been taken in execution, and then he could have released himself by complying with his voluntary obligation. Plaintiff's counsel said he would not press for damages for th e arrest, b ut take a verdict for the money pa id an d interest. A verdict was then entered for 1381. There were three other cases in the list on bills OF (X* change, but they were undefended. CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY.) LD COURT (Before Mr. Justice O COLERIDGE and . Mr. Baron PLATT.) THE MURDER OF A POLICEMAN IN LAMBETIL At the opening of the Court, Mr. BO DKIN app li ed to have this case fixed for II par ticular day, as there were a large number of witness!s to be examined, and it was desirable that they should not be kept hanging about the court longer than was absolutely necessary. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE asked if it was the case i ll which three prisoners were charged. Mr. BODKIN replied in the affirmative. Mr. Ju s ti ce C OLERIDGE directed that the case should stand for the first thing to-morrow. RAPE. --A respectably-dressed young man, named Joseph Samuels, was indicted f or a rape on the per I,l— 68 Elizabeth D av i s , aged 16. The prisoner pleaded " guilty." Mr. Payne appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sergeant Wilki ns, w i th whom was Mr. Clarkson, de fended tho prisoner. The girl had been in the service of the prisoner's no" ther as housemaid, and she stated that late one night he took advantage of his bedroom being next to her's to accomplish his purpose. Mr. Pottle a surgeon, who had examined the prose cutrix, stated that there was no appearance of violence. on her p erson except what would indicate that she h ad been a consenting party. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS in a forcible speech, addressed the jury on the part of the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. HAYMARKET THEATRE. An English opera versio n buff Le id, was produced here last ofC Am broise Thomas's most amusing evening und er t h e title of The Cad i , an d was mos t a suc cessful. All pl aygoers must remem b er t hi s mos t amu sing musical burlesque at the St. James's, where, during the reign of Charter], it was always a favourite. Miss Louisa Pyne sustained Charton's character, and, as far as the execution of the music was concerned, she was fully equal to her predecessor; she also ex hibited g reat improvement in her acting, and threw great humour into her representation of the pretty coquettish French milliner. Miss Harriett Cawse, as the daughter of the Cadi, was excellent, and her assist ance was most valuable in the concerted pieces, which abound in this light, sparkling, brilliant opera. Mr. Donald King, as Birotteau, the French barber, who seeks to form an alliance with the Cadi's family, by jilting his old flame, the milliner, and marryi n g th e Cadi's daughter* was very excellent; that he should have done full justice to the music of the part was a matter of course, ce l a va sans dire, but he acted it admirably also, fully appreciating the fun and bringing it out cleverly and smartly. Mr. Weiss sang the music of the "Tambour Major" with taste and correctness, but he was scarcely sufficiently pompous-- an infusion " of some of the spirit which is in James Bland" would make Weiss's " Tambour Major" perfect. The orchestra and choruses were admirable, and the bright sparkling Aubarish music was rendered as crisply and as effectively as possible. All the artiste were called on at the conclusion, and tho announcement of the re petition of the opera was received with considerable ap plause, in fact, its success was complete, and there Can be no doubt but that it will be as popular at the Hay market as it is at the Opera Comique. ,__ 1 0E11 T'"e SPEAF H( Nlle . earn sed 4r. c am , MA in favoui TRANSP constitner Wrong.
