In conclusion. the Aststriam Wiener gives accounts tram the

At:cording to this report Ibrahim Pacha bad not, up to that date,
abandoned the siege of Navarino ; the conimunication with COIO4
was free, and there were no Greek forms in the neighbourhood,
either by sea or land. The Anstriax 07iserver recosrks,that if
this report be correct, all the statements it, the German, French,
and Italian papers for this month past, must be unfoitnded.•—

have received through all the other channels, " must be on.
founded ; but as it has happened that according to the Art:trims
tibeerver the Greeks have never gained any advantages dteing the
whole contest sicee its very commencement, we conclude that the
report of this anonymous eye witness is not correct. The h-allitY
of the Anstriax Obscrper to the Greek cause is avowed, and it has
not been scrupulous about the means of displaying it. hostility.
It is important, however, to remark, that even this hem friend and
ally of the 31ahometans confines himself simply to the denial of
any disasters baring befallen the Egyptian expedition up to the
10th of April. The subsequent reports are stated to he, " con •

polled to abane.on the siege and take refuge under the walled

We are enabled to state, on what we consider good authc-
rity, that there is no foundation for a rumour in circula-
tion, of Mr. Smith Barry, of Foaty, having consented to
offer himself as a candidate for the representation of this

believe, would not submit to the terms on which it is stated
he would be supported.—Cork Paper.

there was a great difference in the distance between
England and Ireland, and that between England and the
colonies: however, he had no objection to split the dOe•r-
&ice, and make it three hatf:penee. This was agreed-to.

LARGE Ea t.s.—A few days back, a professional gentleman,
named Greenslade, well-known in Chigwell for the excellent
system of education carried on in his school, caught in the
river Roden, near Woodford-bridge, a river eel weighing
nine pounds and a half. Two of his pupils to whom he
had granted a holiday, with some others on account of their
good behaviour, also caught two fine eels, one weighing
three pounds and a half, and the other one and a half. The
capture of these fine fish is the more remarkable, as tit!,
little atream was supposed to have been cleared by the nu-
merous London sportsmen contiqually flocking to it.
