ARRIVAL 01" T_HE ORINOCO.

SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 22.—The Royal mail steam-ship
Orinoco, Captain Wilson, arrived at Southampton yester-
day morning from Malta and Gibraltar. This ship was
selected to carry out the British portion of the expedition
to Greece, and left Southampton with sealed orders on the
morning of the 21st of May. Having called at Gibraltar
and Malta, the Orinoco arrived at the Piraeus on the after-
noon of the 4th of June, but owing to its being Sunday
the troops did not land until the afternoon of the next day.
Every assistance was afforded by the French Admiral,
whose flag was flying in the French steamer Gomer, in
whose boats, and in those of her Majesty's ship Leander,
the troops were landed. The Austrian corvette Minerva,
also sent a boat to assist in the disembarkation. Some
idea may be formed of the nature of the arrangements
from the fact, that although the Orinoco was lying nearly
half a mile from the lauding-place, the time occupied in
disembarking the'troops, consisting of over 1,100 men, was
only one hour and 20 minutes. The English soldiers were
received on landing by a French regiment, who with their
band playing, preceded them to their encampment. The
King and Queen of Greece 'were at Athens when the
Orinoco left ; but the French troops were in possession of
all the heights and important posts about the Piraeus.
The following vessels of war were at the Piraeus :—Her
Majesty's ship Leander, 50, French steam-frigate Gomer,

The Orinoco has brought home a large quantity of Go-
vernment old stores, invalids from the naval and military
hospitals at Malta, also 170 women and 300 children be-
longing to the regiments ordered to the East. Notwith-
standing the large number of children and invalids brought
home by this ship, no death has occurred, nor has any
symptom of serious illness taken place. It is worthy of
remark that since the Orinoco has been specially employed
by tho Government she has conveyed to the seat of war
and safely landed 4,650 souls, without a single death, acci-
dent, or casualty of any description.
The following are the steam-ships belonging to South-
hampton at present employed in the transport service of
the Government in the Mediterranean and Black Sea :
West India mail steamer Trent; Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steam-ship Himalaya ; General Screw Steam
Shipping Company's ships Hydaspes, Golden Fleece, Jesons
and Harbinger.

NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—The only amount of trade
which relieves the existing prostration consists of what
some German and American houses are nominally doing,
and is, on all hands, spoken of more in the light of retail
than of general trade. Still a little more buoyancy
of feeling has, somehow or other, been produced
amongst merchants, without any possible improve-
ment in business to which we can point. On the con-

Wakley held inquest Stephen Hurst,

a tailor, aged 50, who bled himself to death under the
Wednesday Mr;
following circumstances :—Deoedo who forsister-in-
some
years past suffered from melancholia, left his
law's house, remarking to her that she would never see
him again alive. She took no notice of the observation,
as she considered it merely the result of despondency,
and never for a moment suspected he intended to destroy
few years since it was stated he
hanging. Upon leaving his Oster-
attemptedllislife:in-law's, he went home and retired to rest.
The
following morning suspicion was aroused at his non-
appearance, ranee and, on his room being entered, the un-
fortunate man was discovered lying on the floor in a
large pool of blood, which had flowed from a small wound
made with a razor in the side of the neck. Dr. Josephs,
who was instantly called in, found him dead. A basin,
half full of blood, also stood on a chair near the de9

tion, discovered that the act was a most Vb de i erate one,

a wretched man having stood over the basin and
a small incision in the jugular vein, from which blood
rapidly flowed, causing exhaustion and death. The
post mortent examination showed sufficient d. ato

prove that the deceased suffered from a Imes

tion, and the jury unhesitatingly returned ine._
a verdict of
"Insanity."
CHURCH RATES.—At a vestry meeting of the inhabi-
tants of St. Anne's parish, Soho, it was resolved unani-
mously, that " Church rates are vexatious, uojust, and
unnecessary.
