Prince Maurocordato embarked on the 31st of

July from Missolungi fur the Mores, in order to
take the command there. Arta is again evacuated
by the Greeks, and occupied by the troops of
Omer Brione, the present Baehr of Josiiiiiiia. There
can he no idem es things now are, of the projected
expedition against Jamming. It is remarkable that the
various corps of the ,contending parties are so dis-
persed and so divided (ram each other, that Greeks
and Turks have reciprocally the enemy in their rear.
A part of the Turkish fleet is stationed off Patras
to observe the Greek squadron : the latter has not,
however, yet oilman itself in those seas. The new
Turkish High Admiral, Cara Mrhmet Ali, imme-
diately after being released from Lepanto, took the
command of the Turkish fleet.

FALSR ALARMS.

The following is a curious and foolish example
of the alarm of the French police, respecting the
popular mind, and its sensitiveness to any thing
like satire or ridicule of aristocracy. The comedy
of Jaen Bull was announced about a week since
by the English players iu Paris. It was thought
too scandalous that profligacy cud knavery ►hnuld
be made the characteristic of the rich and great ;
virtue, honesty. and independence that of the
poor, on the stage ; and accordingly the Prefect
of Police addressed the following " invitation" to
the Manager :
" stra-1 ara informed that the piece called John Bull, to
be represented this evening by the English players under your
management. is a gross farce, and might produce b.d ef-
fects. I invite you, in consequence, to champ the perform.
once, and substitute a lee. indecent piece.—Rective. dc.
" Tbe Prefect of Police, .• G. DE LAVAL."

Au incident is said to have happened lately in
Edinburgh, which places in a prominent point
of view the highly-polished wit of our eouutrywomeu.
The story runs thus :—A lady, famed for her oil.
rivalled beauty as well us for her accomplishments,
was visiting alone, in un obscure street, when
three of those unmeaning things without sense or
reason, who make up for the want of intellect by
the garnishing of the body, i. e. three exquisite
dandies, were coming up the street towards her, one
of them stepped forward, and with that audseity
natural to his order, lifted up the lady's veil, and
exclaimed," Painted, by God !" The lady, though
confused by so rude an attack, had enough of pre-
sence of mind to reply, Yes, no otherwise painted
than by God."—(Glasgow Chronicle./
We understend that daring the Kino's resi-
dence at Dalkeith, a very curious woodru snuffs
box was presented to his MAJESTY by Sir W A 1.-
TIM Score, from the ingenious maker, Mr.
DAWIRL CRAIG, of Ilelensburgh. The body of
the box is male of sycamore tree, with an invisible
hinge of the kind at present so much admired ;
and the lid of it inlaid with authenticated speci-
mens of several varieties of wood, most of which
are well known in Scotland, and celebrated in
Scottish song. These ere so arranged as to shade
and relieve each other, by their beautiful diver-
sity and colour. In the centre is a piece of the
Cruikston Yew, mentioned in history as the 114
ermine of the unfortunete Queen MARY. Around
this are the following :—The Torntruod Oak (of
Stirlingthire), whose decayed trunk afforded shelter
from his pursuers to the brave •WALLarce—.tht
Trystisg Tree, near Roxburgh Castle, celebrated
in the border feuds, and mentioned nt the novel of
Rob Roy—the klderslie Yew, which tradition re-
ports to have been !dented by Sir 11'11..1.1Ard W•
LACE, on his uncle's estate of that name in Rel.-
frewshire—The Bash aboon Tragneir—Birk of
larermay—Thern ciboria the Well—Broom of tow-
denkames—Allotcay Kirk Oak, with all of which the
admirers of our Scottish poetry are bendier—Elm
of Waterloo, under which the Duke of IVELLING-
TON stood during the battle—the Victory, part of
the anchor-stock of Lord Nimeoree flag-ship of that
name. The whole of these surrounded by ••hurder
of Black Oak from the skip Florida, which belong-
ed to the Spanish Armada, and wrecked oil l'ober-
mory in the island of Mull, 1588. On the bottom
of the box. outside, the words and music of "Auld
haw nose" are painted in a style of uncommon
neatness, His MAJESTY was pleased to accept
most graciously of this interesting cluster of relics ;
expressing. at the same time, his edmiration, both
of the selections of the wood, and of the elegatice
of the workmanship, and charging Sir WALTER
SCOTT with thanks to the ingenious artificer fur se
acceptable a present.—( Glasgow Courier.)
