Nay, more, it has been ex hibited in the Legislative Assembly and, amongst others, by members of the Government, who re ceive English pay, and to whose hands the honour and interests of Great Britain have been confided. They have declared that " not only is every lonian ready to make use of every means in his object to any pet i tion for colonisation, power to obj but he is at the same time willing to sign with a pen di ppe d in, his own blood, that union with Greece is their sole wish and desire I" At this announcement the assembly rose en masse ! The President got up, and with him an the members of the House, crying with enthusiasm, yes, yes, yes I While the Speaker, a certain Signor LOM BARDO, lashing himself into wrath, exclaimed with fervour, "Let us, therefore, prove to the foreigner, what we have already proved, that what is mos t gra t e f u l t o us, is to get rid of his protection." Nor was this all ; encouraged by the extraordinary demonstration above alluded to, what was the sanguinary declaration of Signor PADoVNI, Minister of Public Instruction? He said : 4 ' That if any base creature who shall have part . - Cipated in the scheme should happen to put his foot on any part of the co un t ry where I have influ once he shall find his grave there, for the gravo is tilie proper place for such abominable and flagitious b.ings." The speiker continued—" We have voted to-day unanimously our rational reurreetior. Th Inks to you, Mr. President, y . ou h tve been the first to rise and vote for it ; thanks to you, mem bers of the house, and particularly to you, Cefa lonist4, you have been amongst the first to declare that you subscribe with your blood the union with Greece. Who dare now say that the foreigner can find any support in these islands 1 With enthu siasm and unanimity we have voted our national resurrection ; henceforward, therefore, it is by force only that the present political system can be kept up. Order, therefore, that our proceedings of to-day be printed forthwith." The house una nimously ordered the printing thereof; the Ad vocate-General on this adding, " We are a Greek independent State like Greece, with the sole differ ence that we are under British protection. We all wish for the greatness and the glory of the nation ; but the question as to when a union with Greece end the whole nation will take place, must be decided by time and by circumstances." This incendiary document was signed by the President and Secretaries of the Assembly, and transmitted throughout all the Islands,' on the false and frivolous pretext, " that a petition was circulating, praying that Corfu may be declared a colony !" The assertion appears to have been without the slightest particle of foundation. It was a wicked and mischievous falsehood, promul gated for the sole purpose of eliciting, even from the paid members of the Government, expressions of ill will towards England and the English, and of the determination to become amalgamated with Greece whenever a favourable occasion should arise. It is manifest that it has been excited by Russian propagandists, who have encouraged the notion that England's difficulty affords the golden opportunity, not to be wasted or misapplied. These miscreants have exaggerated the effects of the Chinese War and the Indian Mutiny, and hence this "storm in a butter boat." Hence the mendacious manifesto—the wicked display of insubordination and bad feeling The matter cannot be suffered to remain in statu quo. There has been a most deplorable exhibition of disaffection and disloyalty. We are openly told that it is "by force only that the present political sy:43m can be kept up," and the delinquents have been feted at the High Com missioner's table, on the very day after these most atrocious proceedings. England is not, as yet, S 3 humiliated, or so powerless, as to submit to such proceedings ! We have still sufficient strength to deal with the lonian Islands. Aye, and with all who may cast down the gage in their behalf. It is, however, essential that the national defences by land and water should be placed on the most satisfactory foundation. We earnestly hope that the matter may not be suffered to pass sub silentio, but that stringent interroga tories may be exhibited to the Prenaer and the Colonial Secretary, in order to ascertain the course about to be adopted under the circum stances. It is not a time when we can tamely submit either to insult or to injury without for feiting the prestige that has constituted a great portion of our sfrength, and which caused us to be respected by other nations. Of course we can easily deal with the lonian malcontents, and we must be prepared to show their aiders and abettors, whoever they may be, that we are ready and wil ling to deal with them also, and to inflict con dign chastisement for their improper interference. It is not tho first time that the lonian Assem bly has displayed a similar spirit. We should now adopt such means as would make it the last, or, at least, render any repetition of the like proceedings, very improbable indeed. Mr. SEED, a straightforward and consistent monetary reformer, has brought a very important resolution under the consideration of the Belfast Chamber of Commerce. It is in the form of a memorial to the House of Commons, to the effect "That this Chamber, believing that the frequent 'actuations in the state of the money market arise from an imperfect monetary system, respect fully request your Honourable House will appoint a committee for the purpole of considering the question in its entirety." After some discussion l it was finally decided that the mater sleuld be referred to a select committee, who were to report to the Chamber at a future meettng on the subject. The question thus raised is one of the most important that can be brought under the consideratior. of a commercial body interested in the welfare and prosperity of the industrial community, and we rejoice that it should have fallen into such com petent hands. We have already had occasion to notice the clear and distinct views taken by Mr. SEED on the all-important topic, and by his very able speech at the meeting he has exhibited fur ther evidence of his fitness for tie self-imposed task. He has shown that dear money is exceed ingly prejudicial to the trade and commerce *f the nation, inasmuch as, assuming the average circulation of bills of ex change to be 600,000,0001. in the year (by no means an exaggerated estimate) the increase of 1 per cent. in the rate of discount, is a l)ss to the trade profits of the nation of 6,000,0001. But this is not all. A still greater loss is oo casioned by the absence of facilities for legiti mate pecuniary accommodation. The circula tion is unduly curtailed at one period, while it is impropsrly expanded at another. At one time traders and manufacturers are like the children described by LocKEI, as " pulling at a scanty coverlet, insufficient for all, and each striving to protect himself at the ex pense of his ;"neighbour." At another the wildest and most extravagant speculations are stimulated, because money is a drug in the market. Hence these extraordinary fluctuations iu the value of money, which Mr. COBDEN described as having occasioned more mischief than the failure of all the banks of issue that ever stopped payment. Under the Charter of 1844 new banks of issue are virtually prohibited. No matter how perfect the security they offer. Notes of small and convenient denomination are not permitted to circulate, and thus, " the life-blood of indus try is rendered stagnant and inadequate for the work required." The amount of the paper circu lation might have been sufficient for the export and import trade of 1844, but it is totally inade quate to that of 185'7, which has increased by at least 150 per cent., to say nothing of our inter nal trade, which has expanded in a still greater ratio. The amendments suggested by Mr. SsED were to. the following effect : "Ist. That all restrictions upon the quantity and value of the notes issued be rescinded, leaving them to be regulated by the natural law of supply and demand, the convertibility of the notes being retained as at present, founded upon a basis of one-half or three-fourths of the amount being lodged with Government, either in specie or other approved negotiable security. 2J. That the Bank of England and Bank of Ireland notes be made legal tender throughout the - United Kingdom. 3d. That the possibility of a deficiency of the legal ten der arising be provided for by the Government." The first resolution applied to the question of Free Trade in currency. It is impossible to ju s _ tify the exiting restrictions which establish pro tection, and that of the most objectionable de scription for the moneyucracy ! Why, if adequate security be given for the convertibility of the note, should there be any restriction on the amount ? Nu one can explain or justify the prohibition, for it is a prohibition, for no matter how great the mar gin, and perfect the guarantee, not a single note can be issued. Industry is starved that usury may thrive and grow M on the blood of its victims. The second suggestion aims at a great anomaly. Why should not the notes of the Banks of Eng land and Irelaud, so long as they are maintained, and are regarded as quasi national establishments, not be constituted legal tenders throughout the whole of the United Kingdom ! No mischief could possibly arise from the regulation which would be mutually beneficial to both establishments as well as the people of Eng land and Ireland. The third is, however, the most important point of all. We want a legal tender sanctioned and guaranteed by Government, and receivable in payment of all public obligations. if really national notes for 11., 21., and 31. were issued, the use of gold would be economised. It would be made available for our foreign trade in place of lying idle and unproductive in the vaults of Threadneedle-street, or circulating uselessly—from hand to hand—exposed to considerable wear and tear. If these mad ters can be placed on a satisfactory foun dation, the welfare and prosperity of the nation will be ensured, and such will be the case if we find other duly qualified persons and institutions to followt ho example afforded by Mr. SEED, and the Chamber of Commerce at Belfast. LYCEUM THEATRE.-ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Last night Madame Ri-tori performed Lady Macbeth at this house for the last time, and notwithstanding the fine personations on former occasions, that of last even ing surpassed them all. The audience was perfectly electrified by the grandeur of her earnestness in stimu lating Macbeth to consummate the witching glory of her daring ambition. Many of the scenes were splec didly executed, to the unspeakable admiration of a crowded house. Madame Ristori was hailed with en. thuaia.tio applause at the termination of the play. She is, indeed, a first-rate aniute, and treads the stage with the consummate confidence of one who feels the in nate promptings of irrepressible genias. She plays Bianco in " Fazio" to-morrow. The success of Mademoiselle Victoire Balfe, as Lucia in Donizetti's opera of that name, on Tuesday evening, was complete. Our contemporaries are unanimous in saying that the acting and singing of the charming young debutante was remarkable for artistic feeling and originality. Her performance in the last act was a etef d'oeuwe, and her brilliant execution of the exquisite fioriture she introduced i❑ the arias of her rade wa4 the tueme of universal admiration. She was recalled several times during the evening amidst showers of bouquets. A Cabinet Council .eas held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lard of the Treasury in Do wnin g street. The Ministers present,were—Viscount Palmer. ston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Harrowby, S r G. Grey, the Earl of Clarendon, Mr. Secretary Labouchere, Lord Panmure, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Right Hor. R Vernon Smith, Lard Stanley of Alderley, the Right Hon. M. T. Baines, and the Duke of Argyll.

The Duchess of Wellington will give a dinner to her Majesty the Queen of the N therlands at Apsley House on Monday next. The dinner will be followed by a con cert, to which a small circle of the aristocracy have been invited. The Duchess of Somerset's morning party at Wim bledon Park, announced for Thursday, the 30th inst., will not take piano. The duchess will receive, as usual, to-morrow. The Duke and Duchess of Hamilton, with the youth ful - Marquis of Douglas, arrived in town on Tuesday night from the Continent, after a protract-A absence. The Earl and Countess Spencer and the Lady Sarah Spencer have left town for ..4.!thorp Park, Northampton- shire. The Earl and Courts of Abergavipny and Lady Caroline Nevill have left their house in Portland-place for Birling Manor, near Maidstone. Lord and Lady Lyndhurst and the Hon. Miss Cophy intend to leave town at the (lose of the Parliamentary session for Sr. Leonard's-on-Sea. His lordship has taken a mansion there for three months. Viscountess Goderich, with her infant daughter, are going on Eati•fact)riiy. SounwirroN, Wednesday.—His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, attended by Captain the Hon. A. de RO9, Equerry-in-Waiting, landed in the docks this morn ing, about half-past 11, from her Msjes:y's yacht Fairy, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, and proceeded to Salisbury by special train, for the purpose of visit ing the Royal Agricultural Society's annual show, now being held in that ancient city. His Royal Highness was received on landing by Messrs. P. Hed ger and J. Levy, on the part of the Dock Com pany; and Messrs. Crombie, Scott, and Watkins, of the South-Western Rail way Gimpany, who accompanied t he Royal train to and from Salisbury. The Prince ro urned to Osborne by the same route about G o'clock in the evening, embarking in the D6n, Mister-Com mander Baliisten, from the dock third. Her Majesty and the Royal children came up at the earns time in the Fairy for an evening cruise, the latter yacht lying to in the river until the Elf' cams alonvide, when the Prince joined the royal party. We understand that the Prince Consort leaves 0 ihorne on Sunday for Belgium, to be present at the marriage of the Prioce=s Charlotte, daughter of the King of the Belgians, and returns again on Wednesday. ANTIQUITIES YOB TEE BRITISH MUSEITM.—The Gorgon steam-sloop, Com. Towsey, was yesterday removed into basin at Woolwich. She has on board a large collec tion of Greek and Roman antiquities, which will be forwarded to the British Museum. Amongst these the mos t important are two immense stone statues obtained from the tomb of King Manselus. These statues are a lion weighing about six tens and a horse of immense proportions, which is said to be a fine specimen of art. The latter statue is broken, but the three detached por tions comprise the whole of the animal. The weight is about 13 tons, and the entire length of the statue, if con nected, is 13 feet. The remainder of the cargo c nnprises mosaio statues, fragnienta of the architecture of Halicar nassus, add several cases of btautifully carved frieze work, sx Abiting figures of amazons on horseback, &c. THE RIFLEMEN OF SWITaERLAND.—The annual federal rifle match at Berne terminated on the 15th by the dis tribution of prizes, which led to a curious coinci dence, deemed worthy by the president of the central committee of being alluded to, namely, that the first prize, consisting of 3,000 francs in gold, was awarded to Captain Tschanz, of the Company of Neufchatel Carbineers, who had distinguished himself on Septem ber the 4th by mounting first to the assualt of the Castle of Neufchatel, when in possession of the Prussian party. M. Tschanz is one of the largest manufacturers of watches in the Neufchatel mountains. The second prize of 2,500 f. was carried of by a gunrnakerof Thal wyl (St. Gall) name,' Knuti. The town of Zurich is fixd for the next federal shooting match, which will take place in two years. THE JEWELLERY ROI3BERIES IN EDINBURGH.—At the High Court of Justiciary, on Monday, Thomas Kerr and Thomas Gilbertbon, artisans, were charged with five acts of housebreaking and theft committed within the city of Edinburgh. The particulars of this case have been frequently published. The jury found the charges proved in so far as they applied to the housebreaking's at Calder's, Darling's, and Lennie's, no evidence on the other charges having been called. The Lord Justice General, who expressed concurrence in the verdict, sentenced the prisoners to 21 years' penal servitude each. PU➢LIO MEETING OP WOMEN.—On Tuesday evening a public meeting, composed exclusively of women, was held in the town-hall, Leicester, to consider the question of women's rights generally, more particularly in refer ence to the measure now before parliament. The ball was nearly filled, and the meeting appeared to be com posed exc usively of women belonging to the working classes, although it was understood that the expenses bad been defrayed by some ladies in the higher circles of life. Mrs. Woodford acted as president ; and the meeting was addressed by a Mrs. Watts and Mrs. Wingfield. The latter lady was the speaker of the evening, and addressed the meeting with great ability for upwards of an hour. Quoting copiously from the Old and New Testament, she contended that in every respect, except physical strength, woman was equal with man, but that the laws and social customs did not give her fair play. Mrs. Wingfield proposed the adoption of an address to the women of England, which was carried by acclamation. At the conclusion of the meeting thanks were voted to the pre sident, and to Lord Lyndhurst for his reply to the Bishop of Oxford in the House of Lords. It was also decided to present a petition founded upon the ad. dress. The meeting closed with singing the national anthem shortly after 10 o'clock.

" It is well known that the customs' union which has for the last five years existed between Austria and the Duchies of Parma and Modena," says a letter received from Vienna, " will very shortly cease and terminate. The following figures prove that the dissolution of this union is for the interest of Austria. According to the treaty of union, Austria had a right to receive 12,500,000 lire (84 centimes each) on the nett receipts, but at the same she guaranteed to the Duchy of Modena an annual sum of 1,150,000 lire, and to the Duchy of Parma one of 1,1:30,000 lire. The sur plus over and above these three sums was to be equally divided between the thaee states. In order that these articles of the treaty might be executed, it was necessary that the receipts should amount to at least 15,000,000 lire. As the expenses are very considerable, and as ex perience has shown that it will be impossible to wtain that sum, Austria has not received her 12,500,000 lire, and has been obliged to account to the two duchies for the stipulated sums. She has therefore no interest in maintaining the present arrangement." SWITZERLAND. The Swiss federal government hasjust submitted to the new chambers a message, setting forth the various acts which have been the consequence of the acceptance on the part of Switzerland of the treaty of Paris, regulating the dispute with Prussia on the Neufchatel question. The message gives an account of the incidents which arose at the time of &going the treaty, and specifies certain measures which have since been carried into execution, all of which, however, have in a great measure lost their interest at present. have addressed the following petition to the Em peror : Penetrated with veneration for the faith of our ances tors, and attached with dl our hearts to the language which our children have spoken fr,7m their cradles, and in which we offer up onr prayers to God ; and consider ing that it would be a great benefit to the country if the generation could receive a complete education, which t!i,y cannot do at preeent from the want of a university in the country, we humbly supplicate your Majesty, let, to a:l')w the re-establiAnent of th e o a th°. lie churches, which are falling into ruins, and to establi , h cures in the towns and c unary according to the wants of the inhabitants ; 21, that your M - •jesty will or - ler that the Polish language shall be spoken io the schools, and that the erection of a university at Polook, or in some other town of the province, F hail be permitted, The nobility of Minsk, Volllynia, and other dis tricts have presented simil it petitions. All h ave received tr>favourable replies. The following is that seat ti the nobility of Witel:sk : The Secretary of State, Prince Gali;zin, has corn municattd to me the petition of the nob lity of \Vitebsk. I have submitted the same to his Majesty, and com municated at the same time the written opinion of the military governor of \Vitebsk, who thinks that the nobility have no reason for making euch applica , ions ; first, because the nobility of Witebsk possess ample mean; for properly educating their youth, since there are two colleges and a military echo 1 ; second, beawe, ns regards the repairs and construction of Catledn churches, the same rege'ations exist as for those of the orthodox faith. I have on my part considered it my duty to call the attention of his Majesty to the evi dent tendency of the petition—name-ly, the preservation of the pretended Poish nationality, a preteneion that is the more frivolous that it is unfounded. In fact, the country has-never had an existence of its own, and ha. never been cons'clered as car quered, but as retaken by Russia, to which it belonged for ages. The repreeenta• tions of the nubility are moreover improper. The Em peror has comequently ordered that the petition shall be considered as s.ull and void, and the marshal of the nobili'y will be told that he has acted with weakness, and those who have signed the petition will be informed that they have done wrong in bringing forward requests which are unfounded. G ORTCHAEOFF.3 SPAIN. MADRID, July 21.—TI'e C tptain-General and the Civil Governor of Seville will be brought before a Connell of War on acenunt of the late troubleq. The journals of the 18J1 hive arrived. Two of the spectators of the executions at Seville who w-re wound- d, as already stated, bad died. The execti tiowi had caused a profound sensation in the town, all the shops being closed and the streets desete , t. The number of persons killed in the recent affairs was 98. The band which had appeared near Bay len had formed the design of seizing Despenaferros, but had been diQappointed. At Badjoz, the au thorities were taking precautions from the fear that the chiefs of the recent conspiracy at Li,bon mitzht make an attempt to cre tte di , turbances there. The Criterio of Madrid, which had long been the organ of Marshal O'Donnell, had ceased to appear. The steamer Pirono had sailed from Cadiz for Porto Rico with 60,000,0 W reals, destined to replace the local money, the int,ntion being to hive for the future only the coins of the mother country in the colonies. This, it is stated, is the first time that silver has been so sent out. ITALY• A letter from Naples says :—" There is no dOubt that the Neapolitan Government will give up the Cagliari. The captain alleges that he took a quan tity of muskets on board for Turin, and 48 passen gers for the same destination. The bills of lading and the passports of the passengers were perfectly regular. When on the open sea, the passengers made him and his crew prisoners, and took posses sion of the muskets. With these they were enabled to arm the prisoners of Pouza. At Padula, the judge was in their favour, and that circumstance probably induced them to make Padula their centre of operations. This judge died fighting on their side." " Our correspondent at Vienna," says the .21 ord, " corroborates the report that important reforms in the Austrian administration are in contempla tion. A commission has been formed which meets at the Ministry of the Interior to prepare the bases of a project of reorganisation."

Two fatal accidents occurred on board during the passage—Mr. Coaker, master' assistant, fell from aloft, struck fee fore chains, and fell dead into the water ; and the ether, George Brown, a boy of the first-class, who fell from aloft in board, and was killed. But for the admirable facility afforded by Clifford's plan of lo leering beats, with which the frigate was fitted, the body of the unfcrtunate young officer could not have been recovered, nor the life of another boy, who fell overboard, have been saved. On both occasions the vessel was going at from 11 to 12 knots under all sail, not withstanding which the boat Was manned and lowered in little more than a minute. The boats were 30 feet cutter., the largest hung from man. of-war's davits, and carrying from 17 to 20 men each, an d w eighing. with gear complete, from two to three tons. BELFAST CHAMBEB OF COMMERCE. The half-yearly meeting of the members of the Chamber of Commerce was held on Wednesday-- Rot.ert Grimshaw, Esq., in the chair. THE CURRENCY. Mr. SEED remarked that the currency question was one of such imp:attar:co that he would again press its consideration upon the notice of the Cham ber, and would take leave to move the following re solution, addressed as a memorial to the House of Commons :—" That this Chamber, believing that the f equent fluctuations in the sta , e of the money market arise from an imperfect monetary system, respectfully request your Honourable House will appoint a commi tee for the purpose of considering the question in its entirety.' Mr. BRISTOW stated that this motion was un called for, as a committee on ( the que-tion was; alrcagly sitting in the House , of Commons. Mr. SEED reminded Mr. Bristow that the coin mit.ee he alluded to was confined to the investiga ion of the "Bank Charter," which was only one branch of the great monetary question to which he was calling their attention. He went on to say--' Every increase of 1 per cent, in discounts is a loss to the trade profits of the nation of 6,000,0001. per annum, as the average circulation of bills of exchange is reckoned at 600,000,000/. sterling. This amount, discounted at 6 per cent., is and at 4 per cent., 24,000,000 leaving a difference in favour of trade of no less then 12,000,000 The Bank Charter curtails the circulation, and causes the Bank to advance its rate of discount when the supply of gold dimin shes, and expands it when gold increases, thus acting in an inverse ratio to the requiremeets of commerce. It deprives the Bank of England note of legal tender in Ire land, and the Bank of Ireland note of legal tender in Great Britain ; thus crippling the circulating medium to an important exteet. It restrictsthe issue of notes in England below 51., thus offering 0 , premium to the people to hoard up gold to an enormous extent, to the great le.sening of the supply in the coffers ef the p :rent bank. The Bank Charter thus obliges an itumen-e amount of gold to lie idle and unproductive, to the great detriment of every branch of industry. The Bank Charter prohibits the establishment of additional banks of issue, under any circumAan, es, even if 40si in the pound in hard specie were deposited iu lieu of every paper note issued. The restrictive circula tion now existing was framed to suit the trade of 1844, when the value of the imports and exports of the country alone was 80 per cent. less than it is now—thus assuming that a circulation Of 38,000,0001. to 40,000,0001. sterling will suit a trade valued by imports and exports alone et 250,000,000/. sterling, as well as it did one of only 140,000,0001. The following amendments were suggested by Mr. Seed as primarily neces sary, in order to bring this charter more into unison with "Free Trade" principles: —" let. That all restrictions upon the quantity and value of Vl° notes issued be re.cindedf, leaving the m t o b e regu l a t e d by th e na t ura l l a w of supply and demand, the convertibility of the notes being retait.ecl as at present,, founded upon a ba3is of one-half or three-fourths of the amount being lodged with Government, either in specie or other, approved negotiable security. 2d. That the Bank of England and Bank of Ireland notes be made legal tender throughout the United Kingdom. 3J; That the possibili - y of a deficiency of the legaltender arising be provided for by the Government. Mr. JOSIAS CUNNINGHAM remarked that it would , be much better to allow matters to remain as they are, than to give unrestricted permission to t' o, issue of notes, as Mr. Seed proposed, as it wawa lead to a great increase of " kiting," and greatly increase the risks of commerce. Mr. SEED stated that Mr. Cunningham had quite mistaken his proposition. He (Mr. Seed) was quite as much against kiting as Mr. Cunningham wag, but he was quite prepared to leave that to t'te bankers themselves, as their own interests would prevent them from discounting ill.gitimate paper' , and the system he proposed bound the banker's themselves to deposit a security with the Goya 1 1" ment for every note they issued, so that there could bs no danger of undue acoommodAtion, Mr. Cunningham apprehended. Mr. WORKMAN st,ted thit he hoped the citle P Con raised by Mr. Seed would not be all o 7ftd drop, as it was one of the most irnpertant that nowt' te brought before them, involving s s it did th e great commercial interests of the kingdom. 01 would suggest that a committee be appointed to exam;no into, and report up'..m the matter to the Council of the Ch ‘mber. After s true emversition, it was finally arranged privately, that Messrs. James K.-mtiody, John Workman, Vim. E watt, jun. ; James Bartlett, all° John St ed, shoulj form themselves into a comrol tee, aid report to the Chamber at a future we" ing on the subject. The meeting then separated' EGYPT. Private accounts from Alexandr7a corroborate the statements mentioned some few days ago, relative to the efforts made by the Apostolic Vicar, lacked by the French Consul, to force the Gregorian calendar on the United Greek Catho lics, the shutting-up of the church, and the baMsh ment of the officiating priests. The writer of the letter adds-- "The population, who still refuse to accept the calendar, seeing the Consul interfere with matters which are foreign to his function; inasmuch as the United Greeks are a nation apart and entrely under the protection of Turkey, and, being deprived of their church and their priest, in-re than 100 families have applied to the Schismatic Patriarch, who has received them as converts to his faith. As soon as the Bishop of Cairo became aware of the fact, he lost no time in proceeding to Alexandria, in order to demand of the Vicar Apes telic by what right he issued such orders, instead of protecting, as he ought to have donc', the united Gi ; and also by what right the French Consul-General interfered in a matter with which he had no concern. The Bishop represented that the people were determined to preserve their ancient calendar, that they opened a church for religious service, as the Patriarch had interdicted the use of his own, that for doing so they had the full autho risation of the Government, and that it was not to be believed that the French Government would support their consul in these acts of injustice. " The Bishop of Cairo then agreed. with the Vicar Apostolic to set apart an altar in the church of the Patriarch whore a priest should celebrate mass for those who refusse I to ace 'pt the Grego rian calendar. The priest who was authoiised by the Patiarch to psrform that day reru , ed. He had an interview with the Viet!: Anost l c to in duce him to alter his det-3rinina'ion, he at once did, being supported by the French Consul- General. The Vicar Apewoiic had re) right what over to in' ei fere. The Bishop of Cairo, feeling keenly th is injury done to his religion, wrote a strong letter to the Pa'riarch, and announced to the seven bishops his colleagues, who, with their flocks, are oppose 1 to the Gregorian calendar, the state of affairs at Alexandria. and how the act of the Consul in shutting up the church forced E 0 many to go over to the Schisna , tics. In addition to 'hose whohave al ready joined the schism, 50 families, seeing them selves wilhout a church or a pi Test, int m:1 doing the same' to-day (the sth). The bishop has just re ceived a te!egraphic despatch informing hen th great discontent prevails among the United Greek population of Ca;ro, in consequence of the changes in the calendar, and matters appeared to him s o grave that he at once loft for that city. I foresee that very unpleasant consequences Nardi spring out of this tampering of the Vicar Apostolic and the Consul iu our religious affairs ; there are here hardly 30 who are disposed in favour of the Gre gorian calendar." ALGERIA.. Arecent publication on the colonization of Algeria ' purports to show what inly be effected in that dependency by agricultural labour. In 1835 a military camp was established at a place called Bouffarik. A number of folowers opene I canteens in wooden huts in the neighhouthood. Other followers added to the structures, and by de grees a village was formed. But tho residents who depended on the g rrison allowed the land to remain uncultivate 1, and the result was that an epidemic fli.,:ease b:oke out, and clrtied off 20 per cent. of the troops as well as civilians. Nearly the whole of the► children were swe , t away. When the presence of the troops was no longer necessary at Bouffarik they were withdrawn from the epot, which had the name of the " soldiers' cemetery," and it was anticipate 1 that the civilians, wh ,, se means of existence fdepended on the camp would soon melt away. Under these circumstances the inhabitants set themselves to cultivate the ground. At first they experienced much difficulty, baby dint of perseverance matters assumed a more fayoui able aspect. The country soonbecame salu briaus, so much so that the mortality declinedto 2 per cen t. below the average deaths in France. Sicaly children and invalids are now sent there for recovery, and the orphan school of the Abbe Brumaull, which is established in the building formerly used as a bar rack, .is in a state of prosperity. According to this account Bouffarik is the most flourishing agricultural colony in Algeria. It produces wheat, tobacco, mulberries, and cotton ; and the fruit trees are renowned for their richness. The hectare of land (2i acres), which was sold some ten years since for 50f., now fetches at least I,ooof. A Pole who set tled there in 1843, with a capital of only 2,000 f., is now possessed of landed property valued at 500,000 f. The writer asserts that Algeria may become as Bouffarik with proper cultivation; but the 60,000 Europeans established there are not equal to the task. It is calculated that out of the 40,000 immigrants arriving every year at Algeria the colony loses 35,000 by fever or by nostalgy. BERLIN, July 21.—The departure of th 3 Em peror Alexander from Kissin,geo has been postponed in consequence of the arrival of the Grand Duke of Hesse. The King's health continues t 3 improve. M.
