GREECE.

We have accounts from Athens dated the 16th ult.
The Chamber of Deputies were still enjoying their
holidays; all their work is finished, and they were
merely waiting its ratification by the Senate. The
Deputies receive their pay as long as the session lasts,
even if they are doing nothing; and the senators are
not anxious to burry themselves, for they receive no
pay during the recess. Meanwhile the treasury is
empty, the military are paid with difficulty and by
having recourse to a hundred bye means, and the
civil authorities have not yet recejved their stipends
for July. The prospects for the present year are not
very bright.
Two projects of Jaw, which the Minister of War
intends bringing before the Chambers, have coca-
eioned a gooi deal of dissatisfaction among the
troops, especially among the Phalansarians. The one
law gives the Government the right to assign to
every Phalangarian and every officer net in active
service his place of abode, from which he is not at
liberty to withdraw himself. A power like this
placed in the hands of a Minister whose actions are
frequently the offspring of his passions is a dreadful
scourge in the eyes of the officers who have hitherto
been alldwed to select their own place of residence.
The officer not on active service generally ohose.his
abode either where be had relations or some little pro-
perty, or where he might live cheaply. Now, how-
ever, be is to be torn away from all theee advantages,
which alone enabled him to subsist upon his exceed-
ingly small pay, and to be sent to the other end of
the, kingdom at the arbitrary will and pleasure of a
Minster of War,

The other project of law relatzs to the wearing
of the uniform when not in active service. As since
the introduction of the constitution every Minister of
War used to make a regular trade in the disposal of
military preferments, it appears to be considered ne-
cessary now to make up for this. To this end the
wearing of the uniform is prohibited to all officers
not on active service. This measure chiefly affects
the phalanx officers, who will now be compelled to
purchase their own clothes. Whoever is acquainted
with the position of these-p3or champions for liberty
knows that the Furchase of a suit of clothes is of vital
►mportance to them.

Among the projects of law preparing by the Mi-
nister of the Home Department is a pension-law for
the widows and orphans of civilians.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE ASSOCIATION.—We re-
cently announced that an Association was in process of for-
mation, under the above designation, for the purpose of
plleing the administration of her Majesty's Theatre on a
stable ani satisfactory financial footing, and of maintaining
and extending the high reputation which it deservedly
achieved under the able and enterprising management of Mr.
Lumley. The ready response which the proposals of the
Association have received affords proof that its projectors
have not miscalculated the public feeling on the subiect,
and that the scheme detailed in their prcspectus is regarded
with approval in a commercial no less than in an artistic
point of view. A large amount of busiepsa, we are told, is
daily transacted in the shares of the company; and there can
be no doubt that the originators of the Association will obtain
all the support and ce-oneration, which are necessary to en-
able them to give the fullest effect to their enterprise.
