SUPPLEMENT TO THE Eta -root ~,tanbarb. SECOND EDITION. STANDIE,D-OFFICE, MAY 30, TWO O'CLOCK, r.m, EMBEZZLEMENT BY AN ATTORNEY. At the Manchester police-court, yesterday, an attorney, named Jonn Wickey Stable, formerly of London, was brought up on a charge of having embezzled between. £B,OOO and £9,000, the property of the Manchester, Shef field, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, for whom the prisoner had acted in the capacity of solicitor. He was brought up in charge of Daniel Forrester, the officer of the Mansion House, London. It appears that Forrester started from London with Mr. Ross, the secretary of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railw a y Com p an y , on the 15th of March last, and traced Stable to Brussels, where he and his family were supposed to be residing. They lost trace of him there, but heard that he had gone to another continental town supposed to be Frankfort. Subsequently they traced him to Paris, and afterwards to Bonn, in Germany. Forrester proceeded to Bonn, where he succeeded in apprehending the prisoner on Good Friday. The prisoner there passed ,under the name of George Stephen. He was brought before the civil authorities of Bonn on a charge of having assumed a false name, and was adjudged to 14 days' imprisonment. On being released from prison, being without a passport, he was conveyed to Rotterdam, in the custody of Forrester, thence brought by steamer to Hull, from which he was taken in a special train to Manchester o n Sunday night. Mr. Ovens, barrister-at-law, who represented the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, asked the magistrates to remand 'the prisoner for a week, as several of the witnesses in the case were at present engaged in London before committees of the House of Commons. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday next. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—This DAY. We have to note the arrival into this port since Tues day last of a moderate quantity of Oats from Ireland, the arrivals of other produce thence and Coastwise being rather inconsiderable; the deficiency, however, is amply made up by a liberal import of Wheat, partly from the United States and Egypt, but principally from various parts of the North and South of Europe, including a good supply of American, French, and Spanish Flour, with further fair arrivals of States and Egyptian Maize ; the exports of the latter hence to Ireland continuing to exceed the imports of the week considerably, while those of Flour are tolerable in amount. There was a moderate attendance of buyers at market, and a sparing demand for Wheat at a decline of 4d. per 701 b. from the rates of this day week. Flour was in slow demand at a reduction of 25. to 2s. 6d. per barrel. In Oats and Oatmeal there was not much doing, but without alteration in value. Indian Corn was a slow sale at a de cline of ls. per qr., but few good samples were offering. In other articles very little doing, and prices almost nominal. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] THE WAR. The Chronicle's correspondent, under date Constanti nople, May 20, states that the Agamemnon and Charle magne, and several other ships of the allied fleets, arrived off Kaffa-in the Crimea on the 10th, and demanded the delivery of the Russian ships, amongst them two frigates, and, upon o e that harbour for two dayg. Other accounts sate that the town and harbour of Kaffa were destroyed. VIENNA, MONDAY.—The adhesion o the Germanic Confederation to the Austro-Prussian trty is secured. A committee has been appointed by the Frankfort Diet to prepare the documents of adhesion. Silistria was still in Turkish hands on the 25th. THE GREEK INSURRECTION. The Paris Moniteur of Monday says that government has received very satisfactory news from Epirus and Mace donia. In Epirus all the villages coerced into insurrection had submitted to Fuad Effendi. The St. Petersburg Naval Gazette says that on tip 12th April the corvette Ariadne, 12 guns, and the brig Orphei, 6 guns, were, by order of the Russian Ambassador at Vienna, given as a present to the Greek government, with everything on board. It is stated at Berlin that the English and French envoys in that capital have notified to the Austrian and Prussian governments that the English and French troops will occupy Greece, in order to preserve the throne for King Otho and the Bavarian dynasty. The same notification has been made to the Bavarian government. The French division under General Forey will not go to Greece, but proceed straight to Constantinople. Another division will occupy Greece. The Times considers the occupation of Greece as the most humane and effectual measure that could be taken for putting an end to the intrigues of the court of Athens and to the disturbances on the Turkish frontier.
