(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
TRIESTE, OCT. 16, Evening.
Advices received here from Athens state that the
National Assembly has decided to recall to the
capital the troops sent to a distance for acts of in-
subordination. This determination has produced a
bad effect among the people.

Several accidents occurred in Athens on the oe-
casion of the fetes given to celebrate the annexation
of the lonian Islands.

The arrival of the new King is eagerly expected.

The Assault on the Duke of Buckingham.

At the borough police-court, Bath, on Saturday,
before the Mayor, Col. Olivier, Major Baker, Capt.
Ford, Dr. Falconer, and Messrs. T. Fuller, C. J.
Vigne, W. Hunt, and T. Gill, George Norton and
William Norton, commercial travellers, of Reading,
were summoned for assaulting the Duke of Buck-
ingham and Chandos on the Bth inst. The court was
densely crowded, and his grace was accommodated
with a seat on the bench. Mr. Robertson appeared
in support of the complainant, and Mr. Byrne for
the defendants. The Messrs. Norton were also sum-
moned by the Great Western Railway Company-for
wilfully interfering with the comfort of passengers.
Mr. Slack supported this charge. The charge pre-
ferred by the railway company was first brought on
for hearing.

Mr. Slack said since the summonses had been
issued his friend, Mr. Byrne, on behalf of the de-
fendants, had made use of expressions of sincere
regret for their conduct on the occasion, and had
offered to tender in open court a most complete and
ample apology. The railway company having only
at heart the interests of the public, thought they
had sffiuciently performed their duty by taking the
steps they had done, and he therefore applied for
permission to withdraw the summonses. The de-
fendants, besides a declaration of contrition, bad un-
dertaken to present a donation of £5 to the Bath
United Hospital, and to pay all the expenses which
had been incurred. He trusted that would satisfy
the magistrate and meet the justice of the case.
Mr. Robertson said that he appeared for the
Duke of Buckingham, and had to say that his grace
had not been actuated in this matter by any vin-
dictive feeling. He (Mr. Robertson) on the part of
the duke had to ask that the summonses taken out
might be withdrawn on the defendants apologising
and doing what Mr. Slack had intimated their
readiness to do.

Mr. Byrne, for the defendants, observed that be
had now to express on behalf of the defendants their
sincere and deep regret for having acted in the
way mentioned by Mr. Slack. He thanked the duke
for his condescension in accepting the apology of the
defendants, and thus terminating a case which was
to them of a most painful character. He hoped the
bench would comply with the request that had been
made to them.

The Mayor remarked that the bench were ex-
ceedingly pleased that the cases were to end in the
manner proposed. The magistrates, under the ch.-,
cumstances, would willingly allow the summonses
to he withdrawn.
