Letter of King George I. of Greece.

The following is the official test of a letter ad-
dressed on the 11th nit. by King George I. to. the
National Assembly of Greece :
" Gentlemen,—Obedient to the dictates of my
heart, I wished to accompany, by the personal tes-
timony of my sentiments, the message by which the
King of Denmark accepts for me the crown which
the Hellenic nation calls me to wear. I shall pro-
ceed to my new country with transport in order to
prove to you that, from the present moment, I know
no other duty than to live and die as a good Greek,
for the happiness and independence of the nation ;
and I am convinced, gentlemen, that with your aid
by the friendship of the Powers, and above all, by
the assistance of God, the interests of the country,
henceforth my own, will prosper to its advantage.
" I am happy and proud, gentlemen, to be able to
salute you by the voice of those good and noble
patriots who, named by your confidence, have come
here, far from their country, to salute me as your
King. They will tell you that they have found me
full of sympathy for my new country, and that I
ardently desire to be able soon to find myself in the
midst of you. Accept me, gentlemen, with the same
confidence that actuates my heart for you, and teach
me to labour with you for the happiness of my fine
country, which may God protect.

" GEORGE I."

This letter was conveyed to Athens by Admiral
Canaris, 31. Zaimies, and M. Grivas, members of the
commission sent to Copenhagen to offer the crown
to the prince.—Galignani.

The Supposed Suicide of a Young Woman
in the Regent's Canal.

Yesterday morning Mr. H. Rsflies Walthew, the
deputy coroner for Middlesex, resumed, at the
sion of
Black Horse Tavern, Kingsland-road, the inquiry
respecting the death of a
young Whoanada, n
contrary
apparently aged 25 years, who was supposed to
have committed suicide in the Regent's
Canal.

George Roberts, 3, Waterloo-place, Haggerstone,
said that last Monday, about eleven o'clock, he
found the body of deceased floating in the water of
the Regent's Canal, near the iron bridge, Hagger-
stone. He got it on shore. Deceased was respect-
ably attired. She was dressed in a mourning cloak
and blue gown, the cloak being fastened by a
cameo brooch. In the pockets were found a leather
purse and 69. 6d. in money, but there was no letter
or anything bearing a name. There were several
marks of bruises. There was a wound. She must
have been dead some time, as the remains were
much decomposed.

Marshall, 107 N, said that the reason the pro-
perty was not brought up on the previous occasion
was, that the inspector had gone off duty and left it
locked up in a desk. The affair arose through no
wish to interfere with the business of the court.
The Coroner said that on the last occasion it was
distinctly stated that the sergeant said, " the things
shall not be produced before the court at all."

The constable said that was no doubt an error.
No disrespect was intended.
Dr. J. Clarke said that deceased had been in the
water some days. There were no marks of violence

that would account for death. There was a largo

superficial scalp wouud that might have been in-
flicted subsequently to death. The body was fairly
nourished.

The Coroner having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict, " That deceased was
found dead in the Regent's Canal, but how she
came into the canal there was no evidence to
show."
