Our eorrespondent at Malta informs us, in his letter
of the 12th, that the Triton came in on the 11th,
with the mails from Petra. and Cock jest in time
to put them on board the Indus. Affairs in the
lonian Islands look very stormy. The late events in
Cephalonia, and the coon* pursued by Mr. Ward,
have occasioned the return of a majority of liberal
members to the parliament, a circumstance which
will place the government in a very embarrassing
position.
A letter from Patna, of the Bth instant says, " It
seems very doubtful if Baran Gros will be ab:e to
Induce the Greek government to make any concession,
and we fear our government will be under the dis-
agreeable necesary of setting the Greek merchant
vessels that am seized, which would be ruinous to the
owners, as they would never recover a farthing from
their government."
Her Majesty's steamer Growler is in port. The
Racer has gone to Cork, to take charge of the Greek
email detained there. The Tartarus is ordered t,
the Levant, to look after some pirat3s; and the Frolic
has joined the fleet, previous to going the round of
the Levant. Freights for Valonea are 305., 10
guinea., and 10 per cent. Exchange, &lid. per
Spanish dollar. There is no noveloy in trade. We
have large stocks of sugar, hides, Sc., Fla., and prices
are very low.
The Polish refugees, one hundred and one in num-
ber, left Malta on the 11th, in the Maltese brig Fe-
lice, Capt. S. Tagliaferro, for England. The 198
Italians am still here in the lazaretto, but can come
to the city when they please.

Oar correspondent at Athens in bis letter of the
9th states that no advance has been made in the
Greek question, owing to the obstacles raised by the
Russian and Bavarian ministers, who are constantly
with King Otho. There is a split in the cabinet upon
the question. M. Balbi, the Minister of Justice, has
always advocatel a settlement: he has had an alter-
cation with the Minister of .foreign Affairs on the
aubpct, and in consequence tendered his resignation,
which hoe been accepted.
It WWI rumoured that the difficulty of replacing
him alone delayed the retirement of M. Loxdos from
the ministry.
