GREECE.

The Ober Poat Antes 7,,,itung of Frankfort has
letters from Athens, of the Y lth ult., which say that
the King intends to abolish the 40th article of tho
constitution, which declares that no prince can suc-
ceed to the Greek throne, unless he professes the
Greek religion. It is this proviso that has hitherto
been an obstacle to the settlement of the question of
succession.
If (adds the paper quoted) the ministry be opposed
to this measure, it will resign.

ARABIA.—A Bohemian journal has the following
from Constantinople without date :—" The Wecha
bites (Wahabees?) have attacked the cities of Mecca
and Medina, massacred a great number of the inhabi-
tants, burned the mosques, and pillaged the cities."

LIVERPOOL, Nv -IDMEADAT, 7 A.W.

The United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain
Comstock, has just arrived, bringing 90 passengers,
4.1M01. in specie, and three days later advices from
New York, which port she left on the 11th inst.
The Asia, Judkins commander, with mails of the
26th ultimo, arrived at New York on the morning
of the 10th inst ; and the Humboldt, Lines coin-'
minder, from Cowes, arrived on the evening of
the sth.
The Maryland Mining Company had failed, and
several minor banks had suspended payment.
A very destructive gale had swept over the coast
of Nova Scotia, by which nearly 100 fishing and

Albany, was opened throughout on the sth inst.
A slight change for the better is reported in mo-
netary affairs in New York. Haring the few days
previous to the steamer sailing, money ha 4 become
easier, and a gradual improvement in business was
looked for. Stocks and securities were also steady.

altered.
. .

The cotton market continued in a depressed con-
dition. Sales (1,500 for the three days) could not be
made except at a reduction, which holders generally
had submitted to. This was principally owing to
the advices received by the Asia, as well as by the
increased estimates of the coming crop (2,700,000
bales). The receipts at the ports also were
heavy. New Orleans and Mobile, mid. fair to fair,
lit'e: to 101 e. per lb.; Uplands and Florida, mid.
fair to fair, 91c. to 91e.
