GIt.LECE.
• We have received Athens journals to the 7th;
in-
The Courrier d' Ailleizes asserts that the finances of
the state Elie in a melancholy Condition, and adds that
the Mioli,ter of Finances, tindiag himself unecpiat to
the task of aritlioratintr, the floanciril position, was
about to send in his resignation.
The brigandage in the province", which has so:long`
existed; continues. In the night of the 27th.ult. a
band of brigands went to the house of a ri.:111 widow
at Arachovs, and in their fury at not. finding the
Money they hid expected, murdered her. On the
same night anether band went to Courcoura for the
purpose of pillage, but fell in with a detachment of
soldters. A conflict ensued, without lois on the part
of the brigands, who then retreated in . good order.
Oa the 29411*. VOTIS, the ex-treasurer of Lamia,
who had fled to Turkey after robbing the • public
cheat, returned to Lamia with three Albanians, and
entered the house of the present treasurer, -withthe-
intentim of murdering hifir. An alarm was.fortu-
nately raised, and the neighbours rushing in, arrested
\runs and his followers.

STATE OF ,TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this. day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The Asia;' with- advicea to
the sth Mat. &urn New York, arrived in the- Mersey at
six o'clock on Saturday evenirg., The telegraphic
entabuucetraent that she was off Holyhead. led to some
"of the speculators, who were expecting =punts of a
further rise in. America,,- to purchase freely in the
latter part of the day, so as to swell the trans-
actions to 20,000 _hales. It turned out, however,
that the ..tendency to speculation was somewhat
abated; that; the New Yprk ;;and New Orleans
Markets were less animated; and that the incline-.
lion of prices was slightly in favour of buyers. The
'total receipts to May sth were 2 682,710. hales, against
2,060,931 last year; and in the week, 75;140, against
38,326 in the corresponding week of 1851; and it was
anticipated that on the 12th they wouldsbow a still in-
et', maul; excess. In short, the indications of a crop of
3,000,000 belts were more decided than hetorea These
advices had the effet:,of checking the spirit of specula-
tion in the Liverpool cotton market-yesterday. Business
was tamer; and, it the buyer could secure no corieessiou
in price,. he had, at on rate, a larger choice,
which comes to much the same thiag. Satin the sales
arneented to 10,000 bales. To day, there hay been en
evident attempt to make the best of enarter'. At noon, it
was telegraphed • that_ the sales were 8,000 to 10,600
balesaaed the. market firm; but the a!terneon;'o an-
nouncement stated the sales as Only:. 6 000 to
8,000, with a flat market. At the same time,
the resident merchants in this place eantiaue to re-
ceive descriptiOns of a state of trade,in Germaey WhiCh
are as discouraging as ever. And'wo haie letters by the
overlaad mail representing the market fur goods and
yarns in general as exceedingly at Calcutta, with
rather levver, prices in some descriptions. At Bombay,
too, the traasatnioes have lren quite inconsider
but this was, mein ly owing to the
,abrence of fresh sup-
plies, and the consequent indisposition of holders to
realise. Prices were generally steady. Mule -twist,
however, was slightly, tosser. -In the Canton market
but Utile bas been done in ..our staples, but stacks
were light. Thetis accounts, and these fram Ame -
rice, have jointly exercised u rather uefaveterable in-
goods in this day's market; for,
afilutchnoculhuptohne yaatarntascra
trade in the east does not appear
to he. worse than before, .3 et the absence of any
stiniiilia to Wither operations, sit present, has a
sorneffhist subduing efft:et under existing circumstances..
We have, therefore, to report an intteiniate market
in jarris and goods at large; a marked caution on
the side of buyers; and an amount of business
altogether inconsiderable.- In some few articles, sellers,:
too, have IRen found slightly better to deal with,
hut, as a whole the market remains quite steady.
Spinners are, indeed, for the moat part so well.en-
gaged as to be indifferent about selling at present, ex-
cept on their own terms. The extreme dearness of Sea-
itland cotton has led to an advs./10J in the prices of fine
-lame from 100's upwards. The— makers of domestics
complain very much of their trade. They still find the
home demand very bad; they have to depend mainly,
therefore, upon foreign buyers; and are unable to get
any higher prices, though the cost of production has
now risen considerably.
ROCHDALE, tICNDAY.—We have had rather more in-
quiry for gi. ode to-day, and, a rather better demand.
The merchants have shown a greater disposition to.pur,.
chase, if. the manufacturers could have submitted to a
reduction in price. Wool 13 firm in price, but with
litilts business doing. . •

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—In our piece hall to-day there
has been a very sender attendance of buyers, and but
few goods, either, plain, or fancy, have changed
There is rasher xaore doing in yarn, chiefly for the ship-
ping houses; and the quotations -exhibit a little more
firmness. col continues quiet, without any alteration
in prices.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUEEDAY.--There is no noticeable
change in our market to-day, except it be that buYera
have teen rather scarcer than last week. 'rho quantity
of goods that have Qachauged bands in the hell has net
been large; and the purchases have consisted chiefly of
crapes et the clouded and shaded patterns, at low figures.
A limited amount has been done in wools, at very fi:m
rztes.

NARIMTIVE OF A FIVE YEARS! RESI-
-DENC_E AT .NEPAUL. By Captain Thomas
Smith. 2 Vols. Coll;urn.
This is aVary interesting and velueble work, con-
taining accounts of Nepali', its climate and produc-
tions, its animals, its inhabitants, _and its history.
There is a very complete description of the ware
which Ceennies a large ihare of the volumes, end a:

duction 3 of ohes soil; and the descriptiou of the wars of
1814 . and 14316, be has deemed it iedispensable to

The history, of the Sepeulqe Princes, who visited
leondonin 1850, is .Very-intereeting, -and the writer
takis some pains to show that General Jung Bilia-
door is more 'worthy of reurarkelrom his individual
eharacter than from his .splendid train and korgeous
jewels... The following deScription of the Nepaulese
may be found interesting:—
"In pereon the Nepaulese are in general of
middle site, all he .d, shoulders, and chest, with
'open and cheerful ceuntenanoes. The Nepaulese
ot the pilling are p, at:cable, indgetrious, and
ingenious, greatly attached :to the- superstitions
;they profess, and tolerably, reconciled to their lot. They
are courageous, capable of very great labour; and be-
sides, heing,chitay agricniturists, they 'almost exclu-
sively cultivate all the arts and many of the manufac-
tures known 'to Indiae-their powers of imitation in
manufactures, especially in that d arms, and all vessels
and_ rnaments ot gold, silver, See., being very sUperior.
" "It maynot be cut of place to say somethiugof the laws
of Ncpaul and the way in which they are administered.
The laws for political offences depend entirely upon the
strength or weakness of the party they. are enforced
against, and his guilt or innocence depends upon the
faction in power. I was much amused one day by being:
seriously informed by ono ofehe high priests of Nepaul
and an o.l4inister that it was thus written. in a very
old ilindoo work in his possession, and of the truth of
which, be said, I was aware, That those seeking for
learning should go to 4enares--theso seeking for justice
should go to Ncpaul, or rattier Goorkha, which is fifty
miles further north.' My. own impression, although I
did iteit tell the learned priest so, was,' You might seek it
--;possibly find it—but it would be a very dangerous
experiment."
