GREECE.

A letter from Athena states that M. Nekludoff,
First Secretary of the Russian embassy there, left for
St. Petersburg on July 6. It was sepposed that
Prince Gortohakoff desired to consult with him on
the internal affairs of Greece at a moment when the
situation of that kingdom is about to be the subject
of deliberation among the great powers. M. Nsk.
ladoif is said to be extremely well informed on Greek
questions.

THE COURT AND CLERGY OF ROME.—A work
on this @object is about to appear, the history of
which is in itself a romance. Count Luigi ?tumuli
formerly a Colonel in the Roman service, and now an
exde on account of his liberal principles, has enjoyed
rare opportunities of observing the court and clergy
(the two words mean the same thing), through his
family's connexion with the high Roman nobility and
the Papal court. He has employed some of his hours
of exile in redecing his observations into the form of
Memoirs. These Memoirs have been seen by various
eminent literary men,and also by Italians familiar with
the circles described, and the testimony to their strict
veracity and piquancy of remark is unanimous. Well,
when the Count left Jersey for London the MS. of his
Memoirs was carefully packed in a trunk, which at the
Southampton terminus was duly consigned to the
charge of one of the porters of the South•Westeen
Railway. Curiously enough, this one trunk never
found its way to its destination, although the rest of
the Connt's luggage arrived safely. An action we.
brought against the railway company for the value
of the lost property. The case was clear; the trunk
had been received by the company's servant; there
wee ample evidence as to the value of the lost MS.
A compromise was proposed; but the Cunt had
got upon the scent of some evidence, which convinced
him that be could prove that the lee of hie MS. was
not entirely accidental—that priestly influence had
been at work. He accordingly insisted upon having
the osse thoroughly sod publicly sifted in a court of
justice. But when the day of trial came, the offer et
• settlement out of court was renewed, and sane-
tioned by the bench, because the leading counsel for
the Count was not present to explain the grounds
upon which public inquiry was desirable. A
nice opinion this must give foreigners of the
administration of justice in England, where a
counsel can receive his fees and then leave hie
client in the lurch, because, having taken other
fees, he is engaged in another court when
his terrines are wanted ! But though the public its
thus likely to lose some edifying revelations as to the
manner in which the stray MS. lost its way—and
wandered, as scandal hints, to the Vatican—the dis-
closures of the Memoirs will not be entirely sup
pressed. Count Luigi Piacciani, we are given t 0
understand, is now preparing for the press, " Rued.
ladies@ of my MS. stolen by the Jesuit party in
Ragland." It is said that this publication will contaih
much curious matter illustrative of the actual state of
affairs in the Roman Court, and of political move.
meats into which the conservative party, especially.
have been led without their being &Wen of the
guidance seder which they were acting.
