HARBOUR OFSEDASHEGUR (INDIA).

Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India,
what progress had been made in the construction of the
pier and improvement of the harbour at Sedashegur, and in
the opening of the roads from the cotton districts thereto;
and whether he would lay before the house all papers re•
lating to the subject?
Sir C. WOOD replied that the works had been pushed
on with vigour. No Las than 7,000 men had been employbd
on the works, but severe sickness had to a great extent re-
tarded their operations. He had no objection to lay the
papers on the table.

THE THRONE OF GREECE.-PRINCE ALFRED
AND THE DUKE OF SAXE COBURG.

Mr. H. SEYMOUR desired to ask the First Lord of the
Treasury whether her Majesty's Government had made any
diplomatic proposal to the Greek people of the Duke of Saxe
Coburg to fill the vacancy of the Throne of Greece; and,
if so, whether the duke had signified his willingness, under
any circumstances, to become a candidate?
Lord PALMERSTON said—Mr. Speaker, it is quite
true that the Greek nation have fixed upon the election of
Prince Alfred, and it was only yesterday the Greek Minis-
ter communicated to my noble friend the Secretary for
Foreign Affairs the exact particulars of this decision of
the Greek nation. That is the answer which I have
to give to this question. No other candidate
has been proposed. The Duke of Saxe Coburg has been
privately sounded whether or no he would accept the va-
cant throne, but he has certainly declined. (Hear, hear,
and laughter,) _ _

an opportunity of getting rid of him. We were to
sacrifice the lonian Islands, abandon a position
necessary to the maintenance of our influence in
the Mediterranean and our overland communica-
tion with India; expose the Turkish empire, which
we have undertaken to maintain, to the full force
of intrigues which, as Earl Russell himself
says, are highly " criminal," and " are directed
ultimately to the subversion of every throne in
Europe"—all for the sake of forcing the Greeks to
diet a Sovereign whose occupancy of the throne
could not fail to be disastrous alike to himself, to
Greece, and to England. If the Duke of Coburg
had ascended the Greek throne, after an election in
which there would certainly have been no unani-
mity, he would 1-ave- found the country lull of dis-
content and poverty. If he could be left to settle
matters with his subjects that would not so much
have mattered. But if England had put the Duke
of Saxe-Coburg on the throne of Greece she would
have had to sustai❑ him there, alike against his
own subjects and other nations. We might have
made the most solemn resolutions that we would do
nothing of the sort, but it would be quite out of our
power tokeep them. The Duke would have repre-
sented English influence, he is a connection of our
Royal house, he had accepted the throne at the
urgent request of our Government. We should
have been bound to stand by him, and we should
have been involved, from the day he assumed the
government, in just the same entanglements and
liabilities in which the acceptance of the throne by
Prince Alfred would have involved us. Almost the
first thing the future King of Greece will do, will
be to ask the Government to lend him some money
or guarantee a loan. Money he must have in order
to start clear, and the application will be one im-
possible to refuse. Whoever takes the throne for
our accommodation will certainly demand our help
to make it comfortable. If he quarrels with his
own subjects we shall land a regiment or two for
his protection; if he goes to loggerheads with
France, Russia, or Turkey, as he is likely enough to
do, we shall have to lend him our support. As it is
we are just as well pleased that we have not this
new embarrassment on our hands. The dispatches
we publish in another column show how earnestly
Earl Russell has laboured to impose his will upon
the Greeks. And we doubt if even the paramount
ascendancy of Russia at Athens would do us half
the mischief which we shall suffer from the efforts
of Earl Russell to render English influence all
supreme there.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of new English wheat received fresh up to
this morning's market was very moderate. However, both
red and white qualities met a heavy sale, at fully Monday's
decline in the quotations of is per quarter.

With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The
trade for all descriptions was very dull, and Monday's cur-
rency was with difficulty supported.

Floating cargoes of grain sold heavily, at about Mon-
day's currency.

The supply of old barley was very moderate, and the show
of new produce was small. The demand generally was in
a sluggish state, and prices had a drooping tendency.
Fine malt was tolerably firm in price, but inferior parcels
were a dull inquiry.

A limited business was transacted in oats at Monday's
fall in prices. With foreign qualities the market was well
supplied.
Beans and peas met a slow sale, at about previous rates.
Both English and foreign flour was in slow request at
late quotations. The supply of barrels was large.

TRIAL TRIP OF THE AURORA.

Since 1840-1, when the screw may be considered
to have been definitely adopted in this country for
both the Royal and mercantile narks, there has
been no ircident connected with its hubtglient

tory which has created so great a degree of interest.
in the minds of scientific men and the cffi.!ers of
both services as the introduction of the dough, or

" twin" screw principle, each screw worked by in-
dependent engine power. The reason of this is suffi-
ciently obvious to the initiated, although perhaps

not to the general public. The fact is, we are enor-
mously increasing the tonnage of our ship and

their engine power, and, as a natural sequence to
this course, the draught of water of these large
vessels has to be increased in proportion to

their tonnage, in order to fully develope their

screw's power, for, as the engine power

is increased so also increases the diameter

of the screw, and so also must increase in
the same ratio the ship's draught of water. The
natural result of this general increase i❑ size and
driving power is that the deep-loaded merchant
single-screw steamer can only move in certain direc-

tions in narrow and tortuous rivers, and conse..

quently incurs a considerable degree of extra cx-

pense under such circumstances, exclusive of loss of
time, which in the present day is acknowledged to
be of more real value than money itself. Our War-
rior and Black Prince are, and our Minotaur and
Northumberland will be, from their great draught
of water and the great space they require to
turn in, perfectly useless to attack such for-
tresses as Cronstadt, New York, or even Cher-

buurg ; or to run into such a place as Spithead,

passing the proposed marine forts on the Noman and
Horse, and tackle a ship or two inside the forts.

The use of a single screw is, in fact, attended
with so many dangers and difficulties, which may

possibly be avoided by the use of two screws

both in the Royal and mercantile marine, that it

THE FLOMDA AG.IIN.—CORK, Monday.--yes-
terday, between two and three p.m., a long, rakisb,
black-hulled steamer was seen some miles off the harbour.
She was steaming very fast down Channel towards the Old

From her general appearance and swiftness the mysterious
craft is supposed to have been the fanuius Florida of the

in all 1,788 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1833.
62 the average number (corrected) was 1,811.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.758 in.
The reading decreased from 29.72 in. at the begin-
ning of tt e week to 29.54 in. on the 17th ; increased
to 29.77 in. by 9h. a.m. on the 19th ; decreased to
29.60 in. by 9'a. p.m. on the same day; increased
to 30.02 in. by 9h. a.m. on the 21st, and was 29.88

in. at the end of the week. The mean temperature
of the air in the week was 58.1 deg., which is 2 9
deg. below the average of the same week in 43
years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest
day temperature was 76 deg., and occurred on Sun-
day. The lowest night temperature was 46 deg.,
and occurred on Friday. The range of temperature
in the week was, therefore, 30 deg. The difference
between the mean dew-point temperature and air
temperature was 9 deg. The mean humidity of the
air was 72, complete saturation being represented
by 100. The wind generally blew from the south-
west. Nearly three-tenths of an inch of rain fell,
chiefly on Monday and Wednesday.

MR. ALFRED MELLON'S CONCERTS.

" FAUST" AND LOTTO.
A theatre crowded in every part soon after the
opening of the doors was the reply last evening to
the two great attractions of Mr. Mellon's bill—his
selection from the opera of "Faust," and the Polish
violinist, Mons. Lotto.
No better proof could be afforded of the deep im-
pression which has been made by Mons. Gounod's
late success than the public anxiety to hear its
music repeated in a purely instrumental form, after
the great justice that has been done to it by voice
as well as orchestra; and this anxiety could scarcely
have been more entirely gratified than by the
manner in which Mr. Mellon has discharged the
pleasant task of its arrangement.

Selecting all its most characteristic as well as
melodious features, be has shown his taste and skill
in their allotment to the instruments best adapted
to convey them, affording successive solos to Messrs.
inHwuhgihcehs, Nicholson, and
he has completed
LHauser,evy , P tiatnt
de n Lazarus,
by
,
th
the effect of the soldiers' march and chorus, the most
e way
original feature of the work; in the engagement of
the band of the Coldstream Guards, whose union
with his own gives to this climax of the selection
a volume and force of sound that is as vigorous and
enkindling as anything of the kind that we re-
member. Its effect upon the audience was per-
fectly electrical. The immense crowd of beings,
loudly applauding as it proceeded, burst into a
cheering at its close that fairly shook the theatre,
and was only to be appeased by a repetition of the
forte movement.
The success of Mon. Lotto was equally decided.
He played a concerto by Viotti, and a fanta • by
Paganini; the latter of which, on being encored,
he replaced by variations on the " Carnival of
Venice," and i 11
a a of these exhibited a manipula-
tive mastery which
ranks him among the most
wonderful violinists of the age. Whether he is
qualified to vie with Vieuxtemps or Joachim in the
higher regions of clas • sic music he has yet got to
prove; but in the more impulsivecapricecertain that m
isantic only toschoo be
answered by great dexterity, we doubt if he has any

was staying in the Winter Palace—though many of
Nicholas's victims did enter the Winter Palace to
be examined by the Emperor himself, before being
sent forth on their sorrowful journey. Ever since
the commencement of the Polish insurrection, the
Government of Alexander 11. has Shown itself more
ferocious, and at the same time infinitely weaker
and more perfidious than that of his predecessor. ,
Nicholas was very frank on the subject of Poland.
" Je la roulerai!" he exclaimed with savage r age
when he heard that the country was in aims apAinst
him. He denied the right of foreign Povtors to
interfere in Polish affairs, and, to save trouble, said
plainly that he would not accept their advice.
Count Nesselrode states in one of his despatches of
the year 1831, that it would be better for the Em-
peror to gice up the kingdom of Poland to no
matter what Power than be obliged to govern it
with a constitution of which advantage had been
and would again be taken to undermine his autho-
rity. The parchment constitution was then put
into a box, and sent in a cart to Moscow, where it
is still kept in a museum of antiquities. The pre-
sent Russian Government, however, pretends to
recognise the right of the Powers that signed the
treaty of Vienna to " exchange ideas" with Russia
on the basis of that treaty ; but it will no more
accept their recommendations in conformity with
its stipulations than Nicholas did. Nicholas, when
he granted an amnesty to the insurgents of the
kingdom of Poland, observed it, but the amnesty
granted to the Poles lust May was not observed for
an hour. Some few who accepted it were let off
with commuted punishments, but scarcely anyone
asked for pardon, and of those who did ask none
obtained it. Finally, Nicholas had too great a
horror of socialism and of anarchy of all kinds, and
too much confidence in his own military power, to
think of putting down the Polish insurrection by
arming the peasantry against the proprietors, and
inciting them to pillage and murder. The present
Government of Russia has acted more basely kES wail
as more cruelly than that of Nicholas, while as re-
gards mendacity, it can be backed against any
Government that ever existed.

MARK.-LANE.

The supply of new English wheat received fresh up to
this morning's market was very moderate. However, both
red and white qualities met a heavy sale, at fully Monday's
decline in the quotations of is per quarter.

With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The
trade for all descriptions was very dull, and Moaday's cur-
rency was with difficulty supported.

Floating cargoes of grain sold heavily, at about Mon.
day's currency.

The supply of old barley was very moderate, and the show
of new produce was small. The demand generally was in
a sluggish state, and pricas had a drooping tendency.
Fine malt was tolerably firm in price, but inferior parcels
were a dull inquiry.

A limited business was transacted in oats at Monday's
fall in prices. With foreign qualities the market was well
supplied.

Beans and peas met a slow sale, at about previous rates.
Both English and foreign flour was in slow request at
late quotatioL s. The supply of barrels was large.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Mr. Commissioner Fane was the Commissioner of the
day, but there were no examination meetings on the list.

IN RE COOPER.--SINGULAR CASE OP SECOND BANK •

RUPTCY.

This bankrupt was a grocer at Woolwich, and this was a
meeting for choice of assignees. The bankrupt passed his
last examination and obtained his order of discharge, but it
now appears that he had improperly disposed of some pro-
perty, and a dispute arising between the parties and the
bankrupt, the latter again petitioned the court, so that the
property may be brought into court.
Mr. Drew, Basinghall-street, the solicitor, said that he
had no doubt the property could be recovered, but a question
may arise as to which class of creditors will b 3 entitled to
the benefit.
