HOLLAND.

We are assured by the Constitution that a minis-
terial modification is on the tapis. M. van Reenen
will exchange the portfolio of the Interior for that
of Public Worship, while the portfolio of the Inte-
rior will ,be confided to M. de Kempenaer, or M
van der Heym van Duivendyke. We are assured,
also, that although M. de Kempenaer is the candi-
date preferred by the ministry, M. van der Heym
is considered by an august personage as the most
proper person to fulfil the ministerial functions:

ATTACK ON THE BRITISH CONSUALATE
AT TREBIZOND.

The last Levant mail brings accounts of a tumult
at Trebizond, and that the British Consul, Mr.
Francis Iliff ,Stevens, to whom the protection of
lonian and Greek subjects is likewise confided,
had been compelled to call upon the Pacha of the
place to furnish him with a • military guard to
repress a contemplated attack upon his dwelling
by an infuriated Mahomedan mob.
It appears that a Greek, the director of a com-
mercial firm of that city, had had criminal relations
with a Turkish married woman, whose husband,
having suddenly disappeared, suspicions of foul
play fellupon the Greek, who, fearing for his life, had
fled to and taken refuge in the British consulate,
subsequent to which flight the Greek'S domestic had
been arrested, and having deposed that his master
had enticed the Turk to his house, and there mur-
dered him, a mob had collected round the British
consulate to insist upon the immediate delivery
up to them of the alleged delinquent, which, of
course, under such circumstances, the consul had
refused ; and on departure of the steamer from
Trebizond, the consulate was still guarded by the
military, to avert any act of violence on the part
of the mob.

The population of Trebizond bears at all times
no friendly feeling towards Christians, and this oc-
currence has not by any means tended to improve
matters. The British consul has very prudently
sent away several of the female members of his
family to Samsoon, where the people arc more
peaceable and less bigoted.

The body of a new born female child was yes-
terday found iu a box, in St. Martin's churchyard, Great Ox-
ford-street, by Jacob Hearns, of 10, Dule-street, Everton.
It was taken to the dead house, Prince's dock.
THE NEW MAYOR FOR MANCHESTER.—On Mon-
day, a private meeting of the members of the Manchester
City Council, was held in the Town Hall, at which the no-
mination of Benjamin Nicholls, Esq., cotton-spinner, Ard-
wick, as Mayor of the City fit the ensuing year, was unani-
mously agreed to. To-day, (Wednesday) at noon, Mr.
Nicholls will be formally elected to the responsible and digni-
fied office.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—AIIII Street, wife of James
Street, a flat man, was on'Friday afternoon cleaning the win.
dows of her house, 66, Guard-street. She was standing on
the ladder, when her foot slipped and she fell. She was not
then much hurt. But, although warned not to do so, she
mounted the ladder again, getting her niece, a young girl, to
hold it for her. Whilst hanging over to get to a distant part
of the window, she over-balanced herself, and fell with violence
on the pavement, on the back of her bead, which rendered her
insensible. She was attended by Dr. Somnerp, Oren}, the Dis-
pensary, but she died at one o'clock on Monday afternoon
