When the earliest intimation was flashed to us by
telegram from the Piraeus, announcing the abrupt
collapse of King OTELO'S Government, the thought
that naturally enough sprang to mind upon the
instant had reference to what some may regard as
having been simply a coincidence, but what to our
thinking is far more than a coincidence. Scarcely
has the tomb :closed over the remains of , the late
liberal minded and enlightened representative of
English Majesty at the Court of Athens than the
whole fabric of administration falls in to utter ruin !
The Right Hon. Sir THOMAS WYSE, during so
many years past the watchful Minister at that Court
in the name of the British Government, has hardly
disappeared from the public scene into his grave,
when the King and Queen whom he has been so
long warning and guiding by his sagacious
advice—being no longer aided and sustained by that
advice—are flying powerlessly into exile. A more
deserved tribute was never paid in our recollection
to ateceased Servant of the Crown than that con-
tained in the following reference to these events; a
reference gladly excerpted by us from a communi-
cation recently addressed to our chief morning con-
temporary by a correspondent evidently alive to the
import of the whole situation—no less in regard to
the past than in regard to the present :—" This
may appear an exaggerated picture of Greece
under a constitutional Government," writes this
correspondent in the midst of his communica-
tion to our contemporary, " but it will

The Court of Assizes of Bona (Algeria) last
week tried an Arab, named Ali ben Arfa, for the murder
of Fathma, the wife of a farmer named Abdallah, residing
at Fedjoud, and for attempting to murder Abdallah him-
self. It appears from the indictment that, on the night of
4th Aug. last, Abdallah was awakened by cries for help pro-
ceeding from his wife's tent, on entering which he saw her
lying on the ground, and over her stood a man who was
stabbing her with a knife. Abdallah seized themurderer and
threw him down, but was himself stabbed in the breast and
was obliged to loose his hold. The assailant then fled, but
Abdallah, though seriously wounded, pursued and overtook
him, when he received a second stab in the abdomen, and
fell down insensible. The inmates of a neighbouring douar,
hearing the noise, hastened to the spot and found Fathma
expiring and Abdallah in a swoon. The woman died
without being able to utter a word, but her husband soon
recovered, and accused Ali ben Arfa, his wife's cousin, as
the assassin. When arrested, the prisoner protested that
he had passed the whole night on the threshing-floor of the
douar, in company with several others, but those persons
all deposed that he had left them just after the moon
went down, which was between eight and nine
o'clock, shortly before the murder was committed.

those who recollect how firmly our lamented Mi-
nister, Sir THOMAS WYSE, asserted the rights of
freedom of election, when, in 1857, he refused to
attend the religious ceremony which preceded the
opening of the Parliament in that year, because
of the open violence which had been used by
the King's sanction to insure the election of
his nominees. There must also be many Greeks
in their own country and elsewhere who now see
realized what Sir THOMAS WYSE had disinterestedly
and emphatically foreshadowed to them—viz., a
crisis in the country, financial imbroglio, possibly
civil strife, if the Greeks were not true to them-
selves, honest about their national debt, and united
efforts to enforce their constitutional rights.

That the prisoner was the man who wounded Abdal-
-lah there could be no doubt, but as it transpired that he
was known to have an intrigue with Fathma, it seemed
not unlikely that Abdallah had surprised them when
together, and had murdered his wife to avenge her
adultery. As there was no evidence to clear up that

point, the jury acquitted the prisoner on the charge of
murdering the woman, but found him guilty on that of
attempting to murder the husband, allowing him the
benefit of extenuating circumstances. The Court sentenced
the prisoner to eight years' imprisonment. Notice of appeal
was immediately given by the prisoner's counsel,
The Gazette des Tribunaux has the following :
" A gendarme was a few days back conducting a man,
named L---, whom he had just arrested for stealing a
rabbit, along the high road, near Versailles, when he per-
ceived, at a short distance from him, a liberated convict
whom the police were in search of. The position was em-
barrassing, and the gendarme, thinking it would be better
to run the risk of losing the less guilty of the two and en-
deavour to overtake the one whose capture was of the
greatest importance, said to his prisoner, I must run after
the man you see yonder, but I trust to your honour not to
escape. I leave you here, but expect to find you when I

return.' Since you have that confidence in me,' returned
the other, you shall not repent it, as I will help you to
catch your man.' The man then started cff, and not being
embarrassed with a heavy uniform like the gendarme, soon
overtook the man they were in pursuit of, and held him
until the gendarme came up. It is to be hoped that the
tribunal will take this circumstance into consideration when
the rabbit-stealer is brought before it."
The Prussian steamer corvette Gazelle, which
has been for some time lying in Dantzic roadstead, has

rTHE COAL SUPPLY TO THE METROPOLIS.—The
supply of coal to the metropolis for the month of October
last still shows a decline on the tonnage of last year, the
total quantity for October, 1861, being 150,283 tons 6 cwt,
against 134,226 tons 1 cwt for the month that has just ex-
pired. The London and North-Western has conveyed
59,793 tons 12 cwt ; Great Northern, 30,717 tons 7 cwt ;
Midland, 19,210 tons; Great Eastern, 13,644 tons 8 cwt;
Great Western, 7,874 tons; South-Western, 1,556 tons 2
cwt; South-Eastern, 1,317 tons 16 cwt; Chatham and
Dover, 89 tons 16 cwt ; and Tilbury and Southend, 23 tons.
The Grand Junction Canal has carried 1,190 tons 15 cwt,
against 1,733 tons 5 cwt for the corresponding month of last
year. The total supply for the present 10 months of 1862
is 1,186,450 tons 17 cwt, against 1,358,323 tons 19 cwt for
the same period of 1861, or a decrease of 171,873 tons 2
cwt. Of seaborne coal we have had 105,708 tons from
Newcastle; from Seaham, 25,490 ; Sunderland, 86,052 ;
Middlesborough, 6,413 ; Hartlepool and West Hartlepool,
55,058 ; Blyth, 2,990 ; Scotch, 3,074 ; Welsh, 9,047 ; York-
shire, 4,595 ; Liverpool, 51; Duff, 249 ; small coal, 1,592 ;
and cinders, 2,526 tons. The month shows an increase of
from 299,560 tons for 1861 to 302,845 tons for October in
the present year, but upon the aggregate for the year we
have declined not less than 109,073 tons, the tonnage being
from the Ist of January to the present time 2,770,459 tons,
against 2,879,532 tons from the Ist of January to the 31st
of October, 1861. The diminution by canal, railway, and
sea amounts to no less than 286,505 tons, and that quantity
less has been conveyed this year than for the corresponding
period of 1861.
It is said that Bombay has already been enriched
to the extent of nearly £4,000,000 by the advance in the
price of cotton, one Parsee alone having cleared £BOO,OOO

done nearly the same.
GREAT FIRE AT HULL-115,000 DAMAGES.—
Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, a fire of a very
alarming and destructive character broke out in the ware-
house of Messrs. J. S. Thompson and Co. merchants,
Lime-street, Groves, Hull. About four o'clock it was
discovered that the flames had communicated to the old
Sugar House, and, as there were no hopes of extin-
guishing the fire in the warehouse of Messrs. Thompson,
the firemen directed their attention to saving the Sugar
House. A length of hose was conveyed to the roof, a
height of 8.5 feet, by Inspector Dorsey and, a small body of
men, who forced an entrance into the place, and made their
way on to the rosf, by means of a dilapidated staircase.
Having got on the roof, a line was lowered to the ground,
and the hose thus hoisted up. The water was the played
on to an upper storey, in which the flames had broken out.
In about half-an-hour the police succeeded in extinguishing
the flames, and thus preventing the destruction of the Sugar
House. The damage is estimated at £15,000, against which
there is no insurance.
PRISON TREATMENT.—Yesterday afternoon an
inquiry was instituted by Dr. Lankester, at the Clerkenwel,
House of Correction, touching the death of John Smith
aged 37, who had been sentenced to a month's imprisonment
under the Vagrancy Act. The deceased was admitted to
the gaol on the 20th ult. He had, he stated, not a friend in
the world. He was attacked with fever, and was conse-
quently removed eight days afterwards into the infirmary.
The infirmary nurse and one of the prisoners gave evidence
showing the treatment of the deceased. He had beef tea,
mutton broth, and six glasses of wine per diem. He died
on Friday last. Mr. W. Smiles, the medical officer, said
that on the 28th ult. he saw the deceased at seven in the
morning, and, finding him buffering from fever and con-
gestion of the lungs, he at once sent him to the infirmary.
He was in a weakly condition, although he looked robust,
and he had been lying about obtaining shelter for the night
wherever he could. He was also suffering from prolapsus of
the bowels, with bleeding, which considerably weakened
him. On the day of his death he was seized with epileptic
convulsions, which eventually carried him off. The Coro-
ner, having viewed the prisoner's dietary scale, remarked
that he had held an inquest on the previous evening in
which it was shown that the inmates of the " separation
ward" at St. Pancras Workhouse had meat only once a
week, and it therefore appeared that prisoners frequently
got more attention than paupers. He thought it was not
quite fair as regarded the workhouses. He thought that
prisoners were better attended to than paupers. In this
case the deceased had an epileptic seizure, supervening on
an attack of typhoid fever, which, acting together, had
caused death. The jury returned a verdict of " Death from
natural causes."
PROTECTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY AT THE
EAST-END.—.Yesterday afternoon orders were received ty
the several superintendents of the G, H, K, and N divi-
sions from the chief officer of the Metropolitan Police Com-
missioners, Great Scotland-yard, for an additional supply of
mounted police and other constables for night duty, in con-
sequence of the increase of garotte and other daring rob-
beries after nightfall. At the extreme eastern portion of the
metropolis numerous burglaries have been perpetrated with
violence. In the district of the H division, situated be-
tween Bow and Stratford, the public carriage way and the
adjacent thoroughfares are badly lighted, and but very i m-
perfectly protected by the police. The police authorities
have likewise issued printed notices to the housekeepers to
properly secure their front doors and back premises, as
organised gangs of garotters and housebreakers are prowl-
ing about at aii nours of Lt.. ul6-lu, in search of plunder_
The Court of Assizes of the Ain has just tried a
man named Cochet, aged 40, on a charge of attempting to
murder a widow named Chaffot, aged 71, residing at
Bage• la-Ville. The victim of this crime lived alone, and
cultivated a piece of land belonging to herself. She was in
easy circumstances, and her husband, who died a few
months before, left her 3,000 f. in cash, which she kept in

the house, and that fact was known to all the village. On
the evening of the 2d August last, while the poor woman
was milking her cow in the stable, a man suddenly entered
and asked some question about her son, which she had
scarcely answered when she was knocked down by repeated
blows with the coulter of a plough. Her assailant then
went away, after tying the door with a cord, and hid him-
self in a plot of hemp close by, apparently to wait till dark
before he entered the house to search for the money. Not-
withstanding seven severe wounds on the head, Madame
Chaffot so n came to herself, and having got out of the
stable by cutting the cord which fastened the door, she
raised an alarm. Some neighbours immediately came to
her assistance, and as they passed the hemp-plot, they saw
a man run away. The description they gave of this indi-
vidual exactly corresponded with that of the prisoner, who
was accordingly arrested, and it was established beyond all
doubt that he had been lurking about the place before the
crime, and was the man who had been seen in the hemp
field. Several persons also deposed that he had been mak-
ing indirect inquiries respecting the widow Chaffot and her
property. The prisoner, who was a rather good-looking
man, and possessed of considerable intelligence, stoutly
denied the charge, but was unable to give any satisfactory

account of how le had passed his time on the evening o,
the crime. The victim herself could not positively identify
him. as she was knocked down almost as soon as she saw
her assailant. The jury, however, thinking the evidence
conclusive, found the prisoner guilty, and the Court sen-
tenced him to 15 years' hard labour.

THE VILLIERS SCANDAL.--If any Churchman,
in the innocence of his heart, believes that public opinion
will avail to secure the right administration of Church
patronage, let him note the facts connected with the second
piece of jobbery from which the family of Bishop Villiers
have proftted within the short space of two years. Surely
the public outcry was loud enough when the bishop gave
his son-in-law, young Mr. Cheese, a benefice in his diocese
worth £1,250 a year. Yet no sooner does the death of the
APridimaatme place at the disposal of the Crown the living at
ah and Staple, worth £1,300 a year, than it is given
to the Rev. Henry Montague Villiers, who took-his degree
at Oxford in 1860 ; was ordained a deacon in 1861, and
was made a " priest" this year only ; but who has the good
fortune to be the son of a bishop, the nephew of Lord Cla-
rendon, and the son-in-law of Earl Russell t Nobody ven-
tures to suggest that the young cleric deserved to re-
ceive what is tantamount to a valuable life ap -

nuity, for any good service which he has rendered to the
Churoh; and all that the _Record can say in the way of ex-
planation or apology is, that Staple will be separated from
Adisham, which will then be " only worth £7OO " a year.
" Only £7OO I•" Hear that ye aged and hard-worked bene-
ficiaries of the Clergy Relief Society, who have never had
the good luck to marry the daughter of a bishop or a minis-

disement of individuals, and not for the advancement of the
spiritual interests of the people. The population of Adis-

place. This aristocratic, young shepherd, therefore, will

wages. Why are these rich livings kept up? The ques-

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 6.

The North German steamship Hansa, Capt. von
Santer, from New York on the 25th ult., arrived
this evening off Cowes, en route for Bremen. She
brings 131 passengers and 237,491 dols. in specie.
The Hansa was detained by thick weather until
the morning of the 26th ult., when she left Sandy
Hook. In New York harbour she came in collision
with a laden English brig, name unknown, which
was damaged considerably. During the voyage the
Hansa experienced strong easterly and westerly
gales and rough weather. On the 4th instant she
spoke the British ship Leven, in 47.38 lat. N., and
31.21 lon. W.; the Bremen barque, August and
Emma, in 49.4 lac. N., and 17.21 lon. W.; the ship
Chancellor, 18 days from Baltimore to Liverpool, in
49.10 lat. N., and 14.50 lon. W. ; on the 6th the
American ship Resolvido, in 49.18 lat. N. 11.24
long. W. At the same time an apparently timber-
laden barque-rigged vessel was seen drifting with-
out figure-head and with painted ports. All her
spars were gone, except lower masts, yards, and
c
bowsprits. Every thingn deck was washed to
pieces, and the rail gone. No name could be ascer-
tained. At noon the same day, in 49.41 N. lat. and
10.1.2 long. W., about ten miles to the north, a
barque with all her topmast overboard was encoun-
tered, sailing eastward.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, dated the 4th inst., says :
" Conservative, or rather feudal deputations con-
tinue to be received by the King. The sense of his
replies- is always the same. The constitutional
struggle is spreading throughout the country. The
general opinion is, that, sooner or later, the Govern-
ment must make concessions on the capital ques-
tion of the Budget.
" Count Goltz is spoken of as the new ambas-
sador to Paris, and Count de Redern as likely to
succeed him at St. Petersburg.

" The King has gone to shoot at Letzlingen, near
Magdeburg, where he will be joined by M. de
Bismark Schonhausen, on his return from Paris.

AUSTRIA.
A letter from Vienna, dated the 3d inst., says

Immediatelsr on his retnrn from his leave of ab-
sence, Lord Bloomfield had an interview with Count
de Rechberg respecting the affairs of Greece. The
Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs is said to have
informed the English Ambassador that, as Austria
was no party to the protocol of London of 1832, she
could not consequently have anything to do in a
question which exclusively concerned the protect-
ing Powers; but that if the present movement out-
stepped the limits of Greece and interfered with the
status quo in the East, as fixed by the Treaty of
Paris, she would think it not only her right but her
duty to interfere.
"In an interview which took place yesterday
with Prince Callimachi, Count de Rechberg ex-
plained himself in similar terms."
" The recent despatches between Lord Russell
and Prince Gortschakoff have given rise to a note
from the representative of the Porte at St. Peters-
burg.
" The private secretary of King Otho, Baron de
Wendtland, has arrived here."

POLAND.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
WARSAW, Nov. 1.
We have not yet recovered from the painfu.
stupor produced by the banishment of Count An-

drew Zamoyski. This act of stupid tyranny has
acquired the character of cruelty by the death of
the Countess Zamoyski, who, dangerously ill, was
left to die without seeing the companion of forty
years' happy union, in epite of all the entreaties of
her husband, and his promise not to see anyone but
her. The whole of Poland resented the wrong in-
flicted by a revengeful and brutal hand on one of
its most noble sons. And what are the faults he is
so cruelly to expiate—what danger does his presence
in the country offer to the Government ? These
faults are, his pure and unimpeachable character,
his devotedness to bis country, and his courageous
frankness in claiming rights and justice where
brutal force and duplicity alone are the resort of the
Government. The danger of his presence lies in the
popularity his patriotic virtues have acquired with
the nation, and the example he sets to his coun-
trymen in opposition to the work of systematic
demoralisation carried out by the foreign domi-
nators. To the grief this noble heart carries
with him into a glorious exile, a deeper sorrow has
been added by separating him from a beloved wife
dying far from him. Thus the foreign despotism
oppressing the country weighs not only upon the
public life of the nation, but reaches even like a
curse the family life of the children of this unfor-
tunate country. If any consolation could alleviate
the mournful feeling of the Count, the general and
deeply-felt sympathy and love he inspires through-
out Poland can prove to him that the nation knows
how to appreciate his services and share his suf.
ferings.

Since the departure of Count Andrew nothing
worth notice has occurred. From time to time some
new regulations are published, shaped so that it
may look abroad like reforms ; but none are carried
out, as usually some other order, issued by the
state of siege authorities, alters or puts off anything
which may have the character of legality or nation-
ality. The Council of State holds its sittings with
closed doors ; the Government is silent, and as no
one but its organ is permitted to speak about home
matters, nothing is known about the important and
urgent measures which are looked for. Still every-
one knows what is going on in their sittings.
Many motions have been made by members of this
council, but some have not even been permitted to
be entered into the minutes. Among the objects
which have been allowed to be brought forward,
the project of a law, providing that every person
arrested should be informed of the reason of his
apprehension in the space of 24 hours, and brought
before his judge in the course of three days, was
unanimously adopted by the council, the Grand
Duke approving of it. Very probably a decree will
be published in accordance with this project, but
its execution will be of course suspended during the
state of siege, and this state lasts in the kingdom
for 30 years, and in the Polish provinces of the em-
pire since their annexation,
