GREECE.

Christoforos is causing unheard-of
troublelbe monk
to the Government by his incendiary ad-
dresses. He appears, disappears, and re-appears
with astonishing rapidity in various parts of the
kingdom; and, having raised the population of the
Magne by his discourses, is now ranging the Pelo-
ponessus. Several military columns are in pursuit
of him, and the latest dispatches of their com-
manders express the expectation of his speedy capture.
He is attended by thousands of fanatics, and when
hard pressed takes refuge in some church, where he
embraces the images, and calls vehemently for Divine
succour. The people, excited by his prayers, have
more than once fallen with sticks and stones upon
the feeble force sent to apprehend him, and made
officers and men fly for their lives. In explanation
of this strange excit meat, it should be stated that
when Greece was mile an independent state the in-
habitants considered that while they were one in doc-
trine with the rest of the Eastern church, it was im-
possible that they could continue under the spiritual
authority of the PATRIARCH of Constantinople, a
subject of their old master the SULTAN. A national
synod was then established in Greece to superintend
religious affairs, and this administrative independence
has existed until the present year, when the Govern-
ment of King OTHO concluded a convention with the
PATRIARCH acknowledging a modified authority on
his part, and in a corresponding degree diminishing
the independence of the national church. It is against
this arrangement that the monk CHRISTOPHORO3 has
taken the field, from which the Government finds it
so difficult to drive him.

GERMANY.

A deputation of free-traders waited a few days
ago on the President of the Council of Ministers
at Berlin, and presented an address praying for
the maintenance of the Zollvercin. The Mini-
ster, after declaring himself favourable to free-
trade principles generally, said that the Govern-
ment would do all in its power to remove the
difficulties which hp.d ariGen by the defection of
the southern states from the Zollverein ; and he
expressed a hone that it would eventually triumph
over them. He added that the •fic3t duty of the
Government is to maintain the independence of
Prussia.

All doubt is now removed as to the determina-
tion of the Germanic Diet to legislate on the press.

Two Bills on the subject were presented in the sitting
of the 24th.

A letter from Vienna, in a Saxon journal, s•tys
that it was reported in well-informed circles i❑ that
city that the Government has discovered facts of such
a nature as to cause it to commence a prosecution
before a court-martial of Baron VON PJLLERSDOAFF,
ex-Minister of the Interior. It was added that he
was detained as a prisoner in his own house.

LEOPOLD DE ROSE.
- -

Lord DUDLEY STUART would move for a copy of
the depositions taken at Gosport on the case of Leopold
de Rose, who was sentenced to imprisonment, with hard
Ilbour, on the 13th day of November, 1851. The Noble
Lord recapitulated the circumstances of the case which
he had detailed on the previous day. Be added also
that Captain Hamilton, who had given De Rose into
custody, had also insulted him by telling him that,
as a Pole, he belonged to the most rascally
set of scoundrels that ever were let loose on this coun-
try. The Noble Lord then proceeded to point out the
injustice of the case, remarking that even if the
poor Pole had solicited alms it would have
baen harsh treatment to give him into custody.
It was only a few days since an Austrian officer, who had
been engaged in the warlagainst Hungary, applied to him
for relief, and although he had been opposed to the prin.
ciples of that affair, he should have disgraced himself had
he given that man into custody.—(Hear, hear.) And
yet Captain Hamilton had thought it not unbecoming in
a British officer to be instrumental in imprisoning
a poor Pole for fourteen days. The conduct
of the magistrate was, however, equally repre-
hensible, for there could have been no necessity
for visiting so slight an offence with such great severity.
A case of this sort was a disgrace to a country which
boasted of affording protection to foreigners.
Mr. H. BERKELEY said that he had great pleasure
in seconding the motion of his Noble Friend. He, from
personal acquaintance, could state that Captain De
Rose was a gentleman of the greatest delicacy.; He
hoped there would be no opposition to the motion.
Sir W. JOLLIFFE regretted that the subject had
been brought on at this period of the session. Time
ocght to have been afforded for procuring information on
the subject. It was most unusual in such a state of
things that no representation had been made to
the Home-office. All ho could promise was that he
would inquire into the matter.
Mr. ANSTEY did not think that application to the
Home-office was a very satisfactory remedy; in similar
cases application had had been made to the Home-office,
and without the least success.

Lord PALMERSTON said this was a case deserv-
ing a minute and accurate investgation, and he hoped
the Government would take care that such an investiga-
tion was had. The Noble Lord who had introduced
this subjact was entitled to the thanks of the country for
having done so, since it would convince the world that
even the wrongs of a poor foreigner could not be over-
looked by Parliament.—(Hear, hear.)

If Ministers hava submitted but little, in reference
to their policy,-to the judgment cf the electors, they
have I.:ft a,wide field for imagination. Satisfied with
the carte blanche accorclA to their supporters, they
have selected this evening to refresh themselves with
a " white bait" dinner at Blackwell, in anticipation
of the immediate close of the existing Parliament.
To-morrow the Speech from the Throne will an-
nounce that the Legislature is prorogued, and shortly
afterwards the House of Commons will be dis-
solved in due form by Royal Proclamation. There-
upon will come "the tug of war"—the contest between
the various candidates who have already presented
themselves before the different constituencies. It is

RIOTS AT STOCKPORT.

STOCKPORT, TuEsDAY.There has occurred this
evening a dreadful riot in Stockport, arising out of a
quarrel between the Irish Catholics and the English
operatives. It is' believed that the origin of the dis-
turbance is to be found in the proclamation against Ca-
tholic processions, one of which took place on Sunday
last. Upwards of seventy persons have been arrested,
and several are report€d dead. The military have been
called out, and the Riot Act read. There has been a
frightful destruction of property; the streets in some
parts of the town are strewn with bedding and broken
turniture. The Irish population have been unhoused'
the Saxons have taken a fearful retaliation upon the
Irish Catholics; who commenced the riot by breaking
the windows in St: Peter's Protestant School.

l'oruLATlox AND Housas.—Yesterday a return of
some importance at the present period (obtained by Mr.
Hume) was printed, giving a return of the population and
number of houses, according to the census of 1851, in every
county and division of a county, and in all cities returning
Members to Parliament in Great Britain, with the number
of Menabers returned ; also in towns containing upwards of
2,000 inhabitants, not returning Members to Parliament.
The returns are arranged according to population. The
population of Middlesex is 1,F86,576, and the number of in-
habited houses 239,362, returning only two A
ambers. Rut-
land had the smallest population in England, returning ttwoMembers, comprising 23,983 persons, and 4,558 inhabited
houses. There is a number of towns mentioned, containing
Upwards of 2,000 inhabitants, and not returning Membes[lseeo

The Bill on the National Bank was voted in the
sitting of the 25th of the Piedmontese Chamber of
Deputies by 94 votes to 22. By this Bill the capital
is increased from 8 to 32 millions of francs to be
raised by shares of 1,000 francs each ; 250 f. to be paid
down immediately, 250 f, in six months, 250 f. more
in 1853, and the rest when called for by the council
of the bank, with the consent of the Government.
The bank is bound to advance to the Government,
when required, sums to the amount of 15 millions
of francs at 3 per cent. upon public securities; and it
must always be ready to meet such demands on the
part of the Government. It is authorised in return
to establish two discount offices at Turin and Genoa.

LONDON, FRIDAY. APRIL 2, 1852.

'Westminster-bridge is doomed for yet another
tweirmonth to disfigure the Thames, and to eontrast
with.its dilapidated ugliness the architectural beauty
of the new Houses of Parliament. The anticipated
discussion of last evening ended in nothing more
definite than the announcement of a yet longer pro-
crastination. This is deeply to be regretted, seeing
that, no lees than six years ago, the old bridge was
declared to be dangerous, by a Committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the supposed necessity
for its removal. Two sessions afterwards
the same opinion was pronounced by another
upon a yet more careful investigation. In 18.51,
moreover, an elaborate report pointing out the exi-
ge"' of some improvement in this direction, was
formally
her -1,1 submitted to the Lords Commissioners of
--"RsTY's Treasury for their consideration.

and we have it in evidenca that, if the work were corn-
menced early in the ensuing year, the bridge might be open
to 06 public in less than two.years from the period of its
commencement.

" The Committees of 1E46 and of 1850 both recommended
that a Bill should be brought into Parliament for transfer-
ring the estates and property of the Bridge Commissioners
to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods, &c., due con-
sideration being bad to the claims of the officers of the bridge

LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1852.

Westminster-bridge is doomed for yet another
twelvmonth to disfigure the Thames, and to iontrast
with its dilapidated ugliness the architectural beauty
of the new Houses of Parliament. The anticipated
discussion of last evening ended in nothing more
definite than the announcement of a yet longer pro-
cradination. This is deeply to be regretted, seeing
that, no less than six years ago, the old bridge was
declared to be dangerous, by a Committee ap-
feinted to inquire into the supposed necessity
for its removal. Two sessions afterwards
the same opinion was pronounced by another
upon a yet more careful investigation. In 1851,
moreover, en elaborate report pointing out the exi-
improvement in this direction, was
gency of some
formally submitted to the Lords Commissioners of
bar MAJESTY'S Treasury for their consideration.
That document—given in extenso elsewhere in our
imKession of this evening--explained more fully than
boa hitherto been attempted the imperative demand
existing for an interference in this matter on the
part of ber <MAJESTY'S Government. Unhappily,
after all these encouraging and energetic preparations,
the subject has been once more set aside as one admit-
ting of further delays to suit the convenience of the
Administration. The recent substitution of Lord
DEBBY'S Cabinet for the Cabinet of Lord JOHN
EVSSELL is pat forward as the excuse for this pro.
seeding—though it would be difficult to conjecture
the connexion that can possibly exist between the
alterations of party, and the temporary preservation
of the old bridge at Westminster. One might, on
the contrary, have imagined, not unreasonably, that

what on the increase, the show of samples cf both red all"

wants of the millers. Selected qualities sold at Mondsi,
prices; but low and m.ddling parcels were heavy, and a tots
clearance of them was not effected. The imports ,10
Foreign Wheat have amounted to 3,230 quarters; but to,',
quantity on offer was comparatively small. The 1. 4:
quantity of French Flour at hand had a depressing influelr
upon the trade, and late rates were with difficulty support
Floating cargoes were much neglected, yet we cannot c
them lower. With both English and Foreign Barley

Picked samples, fit for malting were steady at late rate't
In grinding and distilling sorts very little was doing. ,

The Patrie doubts the authenticity of a firmcn of
the Sultan relative to the Holy Cities published in
the Siecle of Athens, and which paper has been seized
by order= of the French Government.

At Marseilles on the 27th all the troops in garrison
marched to the Champ de Mars, and the general com-
manding received from all the officers the oath of
obedience to the Constitution and fidelity to Louis
Napoleon.

The religious ceremony commemorative of fhe
Empress Josephine was performed on Friday at the
church at Rueil. The church was hung with black
on the occasion. Marshal Jerome Bonaparte and
the members of the family of the Emperor at-
tended the ceremony. After the service the Princess
Mathilde walked' to Malmaison, where the Empress
died. Among the persons present were Generals Piat
and Law cestitie, Colonel Laborde, MM. Lacrosse,
Leconte, Deputy far the Yonne, and his brother, a
captain in the Chasseurs de Vincennes, Garde, Count
Tanher de la Pagerie, &c., as well as a number of
officers and soldiers of the Grand Army iu their
uniforms.

The plan for a railway to unite France to Switzer-
land and Savoy is now under serious consideration.
M. Jordan, the engineer, has been charged with the
preparatory works of the line, the direction of which
appears to have been fully decided on. In conse-
quence of an understanding between General Du-
tour, who is a very distinguished engineer, and the
French engineers, it has been agreed that the line,
which is to start from Lyons, shall, on reaching the
frontier, divide itself into two branches, one on Ge-
neva, end the other on Chamb6ry. At a future day
irbranch line will start from Macon and join the
main line between Lyons and the frontier, so as to
put Paris in a still more direct communication with
Switzerland and also with Piedmont, and the net
work of railways now in course of construction in.
