GREECE.

We have the following intelligence from Athens,
dated the 6th instant :

The Chamber has already separated for the holi-
days. The last sitting was rather of an extraordinary
nature, and raised quite a commotion in the city.
Before the Ministers were on the bench several De-
puties addressed an interpellation to them regarding
the reports of a conspiracy to assassinate the Mo-
NARCH and subvert the constitution, declaring, at the
same time, that the Chamber would continue to sit
the Ministry should reply. Several hours elaped,
and the lengthened sitting of the House having
been carried abroad, the city was quite
in an uproar. The Minister of Justice at length
arrived, and stated, with much calmness and
deliberation, that there had indeed been
reports of such a conspiracy, but that the Government
was so perfectly persuaded of their unfoundedness that
it had been determined to take no notice of them, nor
would a judicial inquiry have been instituted unless
to quell the alarm that had been excited in the public
mind. The explanation satisfied the Chamber, which
was accordingly
adjourned for the holidays.
This (the 6th) is the anniversary of the freedom
of Greece, but the weather is cold and wet, and there
will consequently be nothing save the ecclesiastical
ceremonies and the Te Dcum, at which the KING and
QUEEN will be present.
The winter still continues. Rain and snow, and
bleak
,north wind, quite unheard of at this season of
the year.

EDITORIAL TRAINING IN AMERICA.—The educa-
tion necessary to qualify an Arkansas editor for the duties of
his office is the following;—Two months' practice with a
hair trigger rifle at a target, 100 paces distant; six weeks'
practice in swinging a two-foot bowie knife; six or seven
months' experience in gouging, ear-biting, and rough and
tumble kicking at an election. These qualifications will
enable the possessor of them to write political and slanderous
articles with impunity.—New York Paper.

S. Lindsay, of Au:Ain-friars, complaining of treating, bribery,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 1,500 on speoulation, with a firm
market, American being id. per lb. higher. The sales
comprised 6,500 American, 350 Pernam and Maranham
at bid. to 7d., 30 Bahia at 6d., 300 Egyptian at 64-d.
to 81d., 600 Surat at 31d. to 4 d., and 120 Sea Islands
at la. lid. to Is. 9d. per lb.—Railway Shares were flat.
-The official average price of Wheat for the six weeks
is 41e. I Id. per quarter.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 20th inst. was
tolerably active for Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
but not so firm for the Four per Cents. Russian and
Austrian were withont change. Spanish, Portuguese,
Mexican, and South American were feebler, owing to
the decline in London.
REDIICTION OF DISCOVNTS.

The Directors of the Bank of England, at their meet.
ing this morning, have decided to lower the minimum
rate of discount from 2i to 2 per cent. on bills of ex-
change.
This disproves the assertion that money was dearer.
In Lombard-street 14 and 2 per cent. were the charges
on best paper, and loans on Stock were granted at 1 per
cent. before this alteration at the Bank was known.
The English Funds have been firmer, and there is a
little money stock being taken. Consols realise 994 to
for Transfer, and 994 4 for Account. Exchequer
bills of June are 655. to 685.. premium, and India
Bonds 84s. to 87e. premium. Bank Stock is up to 220
and 2204. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
are 1004 to -a.

Foreign Securities have been: again rather weak, but
are better within the lust half hour. Mexican 34s to
and 28k to I. Buenos Ayres are 78 to 79, and
Brazilian Old is 99. Spanish Three per Cents. are 47t,
and the New Deferred Bonds 21i.
Railway Shares, although nce't particularly active, have
been rather firmer. Amberga.te in request owing to the
hope of a lease at 4 per cent. by the North-Western.
French shares are quiet.

Mines generally are stead'? but dull. South Austra-
lian Copper are firm at 5-16 to 7-16 premium.
The last week's Railway Receipts, ascertained up to
this day, are in round figuros as under:-
