to his actual accession to the throne. We -161m15/
pointed out the complicated relations of this ques-
tionl as one of the main reasons of the delay. t
would now seem that by about the time that the
whole twelve months since the abdication of Otho
shall have expired, all that yet remains to be ar-
ranged may be complete. We have seen item a veil'
recent telegram, which is strictly accurate, that the
late lonian Parliament was dissolved, and a new elle
summoned a few days ago, to be elected after the
lapse of forty days from that time. It is probable,
therefore, that the forty-two members to be chose,n
by the different islands may be convened at Coral
by the beginning of October—allowing a lapse of
ten or twelve days beyond the forty for the actual
election and concentration of these new members.
The lonian Parliament will then take up the
question of annexation to Greece ; and those
who aro conversant with parliamentary proceed-
ings in that Republic will apprehend that,
in what-
ever degree the question may then present itself in
the light of a foregone conclusion, the deliberations
upon it will not be much abbreviated. When the
vote of the lonian Parliament shall have been had,
assuming that it will be in favour of annexation, it
will be necessary to hold a conference of the eight
Powers, signataries of the Treaty of Vienna, in
order to empower the Queen to surrender her pro-
tectorate and to authorise the annexation. We
may hope to elicit the decision of the new lonian
Parliament within a week or two of its assembling,
and in that case there can scarcely be any reason
why the settlement of all these preliminaries should
be postponed beyond the end of October or begin-
ning of November. King George, indeed, has been
expected to leave Copenhagen at a somewhat earlier
period; and whatever may be the precise time of
his arrival at Athens, it is understood that be
will visit several of the capitals of Europe, and
thus extend his acquaintance with public affairs be-
fore his final departure for Greece. In the mean-
time it is understood that the Provisional Govern-
ment of that country are occupied with certain
measures for the alteration of the military system,
which are necessarily not of rapid progress, and
which they would desire to complete before the arri-
val of the King. If these circumstances result in
any slight postponement of his actual accession,
they will on the other hand place the Government
on his arrival in a more satisfactory condition. It
will he curious to observe the course which
the lonians will now take. The electoral appeal
is an appeal to the suffrage. Hitherto, if
there has been one question on which these
islanders have apparently been agreed, it is in
favour of annexation to Greece and of a severance
of their connection with Great Britain. At the
same time it must be remembered that there has
hitherto been no oppoi tunity for that question to be
collectively discussed. It commonly happens in
these republican States that noisy agitators, wile
have but little stake in their country, make them-
selves mach more conspicuous than wealthy mer-
chants and landowners. Men of commerce wbo may
not have troubled themselves with this question
while it seemed a merely empirical and not a prac-
tical one, may begin to think differently when the
future of their commonwealth is immediately at
issue. They may feel it safer to trade under the
lonian flag, protected by England, than under the
Hellenic flag. Thus we may fairly anticipate con-
siderable varieties of opinion. But the appeal
being to universal suffrage, property cannot coun-
tervail numbers; and we are led to doubt whether
the intrigues of King Otho's party to defeat
annexation will carry many votts with them. The
main object, however, by which the mass of the
lonians have been led, in their desire for annexation
to Greece, does not rest, we believe, in any definite
objection to the manner in which we have governed
them, but in an ambition to take the lead in the
future government of Greece. At Athens they sewn
to .'qave long hoped to be foremost. In this ambition
we cannot help apprehending that they will be dis-
appointed; and, at any rate, assuming the annexa-
tion to take place, we shall probably witness as great
a rivalry between the men of Athens and the men of
Corfu as ever took place ofold between the Corcyreans
and their mother commonwealth, the Corinthians.
We believe that the leading public men in Greece
express themselves desirous that the expenditure
of the Government shall be kept within the limits
of its income, and that there shall be no recurrence
to the profligate extravagances of the late reign.
They allege that the country is susceptible of a pub-
lic income which may dispense with their contract-
ing loans or involving annual deficits. In these
declarations they are probably sincere. They wish
to be able to start afresh. There is little doubt that
these premises are true. But let their course on this
head be what it may, we trust they will succeed in
giving effect to their programme of a Government
living within its expenditure under the reign of
King George.

[A.DVERTISEMENT.]--Rolloway's Ointment and Pills.--
Unseemly Eruptions.—No means heretofore discovered are
so competent to cope with and conquer all blemishes, boils,
eruptions, redness and roughness of the skin, as these cele-
brated medicaments, which to be praised need only to be
known. Holloway's remedies cool the system, regulate the
circulation, and so thoroughly purify the whole body, that
whatever is hurtful must inevitably be swept away, and
succeeded by healthy structures which alone can be derived
from rich and pure blood. The cosmetic virtues of this
unguent have been long appreciated; no toilet-table is
well appointed which lacks its presence. It soothes and
cleanses the most fine and tender skin, and, when assisted
by Holloway's pills, is the most valuable beautifier.
