GREECE.

Advices from Athens, of the 30th ult., state that
the rebels have been defeated at Calambaca. Fuad
Effendi took Calambaca by assault. Hadgi Petros's
band was dispersed. 1,000 were killed, and many
made prisoners. The Turks sent 600 heads of the
slain to Larissa.

Secretary Wenciling has left on leave. Lamia

has been reinforced. The rebellion in Thessaly
is considered at an end.
The dismissal of Greek officials continues.

THE BALTIC.

STOCKHOLM, Juno 29.—The Sivenska Tidning
contains a letter from a merchant in Finland, who,
however, is probably a better man of business than
a man of war. He says the garrisons of the whole
province do not exceed 3,000 men, distributed in
equal strength in Abo, Wasa, and Gamla-Carleby,
that there was no chance of their being reinforced,
and that the oppressive heat and the extreme diffi-
culty of internal communication made it highly
improbable that fresh troops would be sent up. It
is only at Helsiugfors and Sweaborg that there are
any large bodies of troops concentrated. He goes
on to say that the general feeling of the inhabitants
is hostile.

BAR° SOUND, June 26.—We are ordered off very
suddenly. The admiral has just made a signal for
the captain of our ship to prepare for sea. We
expect to sail for England on the 2d, so you must
not be surprised at our arrival. We have been
expecting it, as we are fifty men short, and all
sorts of defects in the ship. The Commander-in-
Chief has gone up with the screw fleet to have a
look at Cronstadt. Whether he intends having an
attack on the place or not I cannot say. Admiral
Corry, with the sailing ships, are in company with
us ; they sail for Helsingfors (about ten miles east-
. ward of this place), so as to prevent the Russian
fleet from coming out of that place, as it is expected
they will, so we hope to have ago in at them
before long. We are to join them again in a day
or two. The Odin, Recta, and Valorous have had
a smart action at Bomarsund (the capital of the
Aland Islands), and captured 100 guns, destroyed
all their forts, and played the very deuce with
them, and have done all this with only six
wounded. We have heard news of our boat's crew
that were taken prisoners. The officers and fifteen
men were at Helsingfors, and are treated very
well. The remainder are left behind, at the place
of action, they having been wounded. It is gra-
tifying they are treated so well, as they complain
of nothing.

REPLY OF THE CZAR.

According to a telegraphic despatch dated
Vienna, last evening, Prince Gortschakoff had
just arrived there as bearer of the official reply
of the St. Petersburg Cabinet.
It had not transpired what this answer was.
The Prince was also bearer of an autograph
letter from the Emperor Nicholas to the Emperor
of Austria, the tenour of which is said to be,
that by evacuating Wallachia and leaving the
Danube free, the Emperor considers that he satis-
fies the reasonable demands of Austria.

Moldavia will not be evacuated, as the occupation
of this principality is a necessary guarantee for the
conditions of a future treaty of peace.
If this be correct, a war between Austria and
Russia is inevitable.

CHURCH BUILDING ACTS AMENDMENT

BILL.

Sir J. PAKINGTON moved the second reading of
this bill, and briefly stated its object to be to give autho-
rity for pulling down certain superfluous churches in the
City and re-erecting them in other parts of the metro-
polis which were destitute of church accommodation.
(Hear, hear.) The house was aware that owing to
a change of circumstances most of the City churches
were now little better than useless, because there
were no parishioners to attend them, and the Bishop
of London and his clergy were of opinion that the
buildings should be pulled down, the sites sold, and the
materials and proceeds applied to erecting churches in
those metropolitan districts that most required them—
that was the simple object of the bill. It embraced no
new principle, because a similar measure bad already
been extended to other sees, and since the measure was
one of necessity, he hoped the house would experience
no difficulty in adopting it.
Mr. R. PHILLIMORE moved that the bill be read a
second time this day six months. He denied that there
was any superfluity of churches in the City, while he
contended that the deficiencies which were said to exist
in certain districts, could be supplied by the contribu-
tions of the places themselves. This bill interfered with
the rights of parishioners in a most unjustifiable
manner, not only in London, but in Bristol, Ches-
ter, York, and various other places, and as no proof
had yet been given of the necessity of this measure,
except as regarded the city of London. He did not
think the house would be justified in passing such an
arbitrary measure as this. The case of London was a
very exceptional one. It was true the rich bad ceased
to make it the place of their residence, and had gone to
live in the suburbs, but would the house be justified in
disregarding the claims of the poor man to Church
accommodation ? (Hear, hear.) The fact was the in-
cumbents of many of these churches had so arranged
the opening of their pews that the poor were kept out
of them, and now, because they wanted to follow their
affluent parishioners into the suburbs it was argued,
forsooth, that the churches were superfluous and un-
necessary, simply on the ground that they were never
attended. But why were they not attended ? Only be-
cause while the rich found it convenient to retire to the
suburbs, the poor though forced to remain in the City
were kept out of the churches, not by their own wish
but against their will to serve the interest of the incum-
bent. (Hear, hear.) There was a great constitutional
objection in this bill ; it proposed for the first time in
the history of this country to pull down churches, break
up church yards, transfer church rates and tithes from
one district to another without the consent of the pa-
rishioners. (Hear, hear.) The powers of the bill were
to be put in force merely at the will of the bishop, the
parishioners were to have no voice in the matter, and
that being so he was right in stigmatising the bill as
shocking, arbitary, and unjust. (Cheers.)

Mr. HADFIELD seconded th.e amendment.

RUSSIAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION.

The Medical Journal of Vienna states, on the
authority of letters which it has received, that the
sick and wounded of the Russian army of the
Danube are so numerous, that field hospitals had
been established in every village that they occu-
pied, and that they were all crowded. In the re-
treat they were compelled to abandon a con sider-
able number for the want of the means of tran sport.
The mortality among the sick and wounded was in
April 41 per cent., and in May 60 per cent.
The Prussian Correspondence announces from
Bucharest, June 25, that M. de Budberg, who had
been appointed by the Czar to the administration
of the Danubian provinces, has declared that the
Russians were about to evacuate Wallachia , and
perhaps Moldavia, from motives of strategy.

BRAVERY OF THE TURKS.
An English officer who has arrived at Constan-
tinople from Silistria, confirms all the accounts
received respecting the astonishing bravery and
heroism of the besieged Turks. No French or
English soldier could have endured with equal for-
titude, it is asserted, the perils and privations of a
continual bombardment, and an overwhelming
force during so long a period. There is scarcely,
perhaps, a man in the fortress, it is stated, who
cannot produce some honourable mark of his
valour, in the shape of a cicatrised wound, burns,
and bruises of all sorts and sizes. There is, it
appears, a general deficit of fingers, ears, noses,
and other appendages ; all that remains intact is
the stout heart, with fullest confidence in the talih,
or destiny, which is graven in invisible characters
on the forehead of each Turkish soldier. For in-
stance, during an occasional respite from the
enemy's fire, the men, it appears, were in the habit
of reposing with the chibouque in a sort of cafe
behind their guns. On one occasion eight were
killed by a chance projectile, and still the smokers
were as numerous as ever in less than one hour
after the accident.

SUSPENSION.—The suspension of Messrs. H. W. Lord
and Co., East India and colonial brokers, was announced
yesterday, the event having been caused by the other
failures in that branch of business during the past
month. The liabilities of the firm are understood to be
considerable, and are stated to have been incurred in a
great degree through advances on warrants which prove
to be worthless.

AUSTRALIAN MINING SCHEMES.—Another action on
the part of a shareholder in one of the Australian
mining schemes against a director for the recovery of
the purchase money on 100 shares, terminated success-
fully yesterday in the Court of Common Pleas. The
undertaking in question was the Lake Bathurst Aus-
tralasian Mining Company, and the allegations of the
plaintiff were that he had been induced to purchase the
shares from seeing them quoted in the Stock Exchange
official list, and that it had afterwards turned out that
the committee of that establishment had been tempo-
rarily led to authorise their insertion by false represen-
tations, inasmuch as the requisite certificate of two-
thirds of the scrip having been paid up had been im-
properly concocted for the purpose. The evidence was
of a remarkable character, and the jury almost im-
mediately gave a verdict for the full amount claimed.

STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
MANCHKenz, July 4.—Manufacturers have experi-
enced a somewhat diminished demand for goods to-day,
partly because there is a hesitation among buyers to ay
even the inadequate advance required upon F
cloths, longcloths, T's, and domestics. in
jP:lconntlenj-
madapollams, and shirtings, suitable for India, prices
are a shade easier. The home consumers a yarns have
been rather backward buyers to-day. That department of our market is therefore reported to be languid, yet
without any giving way in prices. Warps and pincope
in general have been rather inanimate, and the absence
of a demand for China is felt in the water twists suitable
for that quarter. The India houses have bought freely
of several counts of mule yarn, principally 40s, and from
60s upwards, which are higher in price.
HALIFAX, July I.—There is a more hopeful tone,
both as regards yarns and pieces ; but we cannot yet
note any increase of demand, or improvement in prices.
There is more inquiry for wools, and the quotations are
firmer.

ROCHDALE, July 3.—We have had a dull sluggish
market, differing very little from those of the three past
weeks, either in price or demand. The wool market
continues inactive, with very little doing, but prices are
firm.
HUDDERSFIELD, July 4.—The market has been quiet
to-day compared with the last two weeks. A few goods
have, however, been disposed of in the lower qualities.
On the whole, the manufacturers are well employed,
notwithstanding the quiet markets, and none, we be-
lieve, have commenced to run short time. Many of the
goods produced in this district, however, and particu-
larly good woollens, do not come to market at all, but
are sent direct from the manufacturers to the large dis-
tant houses. In establishments like these, operations
have an important effect in the general employment of
the neighbourhood.
BIRMINGHAM, July 3.—We last week intimated our
impre,,sion that a compromise would very probably be
temporarily effected between the extreme opinions advo-
cated upon the subject of the prices of iron by the adop-
tion of a 20s. advance upon the rates declared at the
Lady-day meeting of the trade. This was the result of
Thursday's deliberation. The resolution of the meeting
seems to have been worded with reference to the pi/Ai'
cation of circulars by many of the leading firms, an-
nouncing this advance on the first of the month ; and
was confined to a confirmation of that step, declaring
that the prices of iron should remain for the- quarter en- I
suing—bars at 11/, per ton, hoops 121., sheets 131.

BIIXTON.—The season at this improving watering
place has commenced this year unusually early, and pro-
mises to be a most prosperous one. The new baths, now
completely finished, are a great attraction.

official list, and that it had afterwards turned out that
the committee of that establishment had been tempo-
rarily led to authorise their insertion by false represen-
tations, inasmuch as the requisite certificate of two-
thirds of the scrip havin!! been paid up had been im-
properly concocted for the purpose. The evidence was
of a remarkable character, and the jury almost im-
lictliately gave a verdict for the full amount claimed.

THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA.

The committee who have undertaken the arduous task
of getting up this great aquatic meeting are, we are
happy to say, succeeding beyond their most sanguine
expectations. Already, under the presidency and patron-
age of the Lord Mayor, they have succeeded in collect-
ing nearly 6001., besides what may be expected from the
universities, and other great sources known always as
liberal contributors to the sports of the Thames. The
funds already in hand, and expectances, have enabled
the committee to announce the following prizes for com-
petition :

World.—First boat, 100/. ; second, 20/. ; third, 101. ;

BLOCKADE OF THE WHITE SEA.

A telegraphic despatch from Harnburgh, of the
sth, says that the combined squadron intended to
blockade the White Sea, and which arrived at
Hammerfort on the 30th ult., is composed of one
English frigate and nine steam-corvettes, and nine
French steam-corvettes.

THE ALLIED ARMIES' IN THE EAST.—
IMPORTANT DESPATCHES.
Advices from Varna, of the 23d June, state
that on the 21st and 22d a cannonade was heard in
the direction of Shumla.
General Canrobert sent a squadron of Dragoons
to reconnoitre.
The allied troops were preparing to advance.
The allied forces at Varna are 50,000 strong.
General Bosquet's division had left Adrianople
for Shumla.
Advices from Constantinople, of the 26th ult.,
say an important movement of troops to the seat
of war is taking place.
One Turkish brigade is placed under French,
another under English, command.
Prince Napoleon and Marshal St. Arnaud have
gone to Varna.
A letter from Widdin, of the 30th ult., states

RECEPTION OF THE FRENCH AT
ADRIANOPLE.

ADRIANOPLE, June 22.—Sixteen thousand aux-
liary troops have arrived here. They are destined
or Burgas.
General Prim has left Sehumla.
_ _

The Echo de Veson,e contains the following ex-
tract of a letter from a French officer, dated. Adri-
anople, the 14th ult.:—
" The advance guard of the French army left the
camp of Boula-Hir on the 3d, and arrived at Ardianople
on the 9th, It was composed of the 3d battalion of foot
chasseurs, and all the staff of the 2d division. Every-
where we were admirably received, and the entrance into
Adrianople in particular was the occasion of many
charming scenes between people who could only make
themselves understood by signs. The whole city, con-
taining 100,000 inhabitants, came out to meet us, and
men, women, and children kept crying out, Behold
then the good French ! Praise be to God !' I cite one
fact to you amongst a thousand, and which I myself
witnessed. A Zouave in going through the streets
stopped at a fountain to drink, but two Turks who sn w
him took hold of him, and carried him off by force to
their own house. where they gave him fruit, bread, and
sherbet in abundance. Everywhere in the place we are
most kindly treated. The doors of the mosques are open
to us, even during prayers."

MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES.

The manager of Bentley's Monthly .Revietv, find-
ing the name interfered with it, has changed its
title, to the New Monthly Review, with which the
British Journal is now incorporated. The first
number promises well. It opens with a memoir
of Mr. Disraeli, remarkable for its impartiality and
appreciation of genius. It is so much the fashion
at present to attack and decry all those whom their
abilities have raised above the common level—it
seems to be so generally considered, by the envious
and mediocre, a mark of taste and judgment to
affect a lofty superiority over those more brilliantly
gifted, that a generous and fair spirited criticism
on a celebrated author and politician is something
quite original. A chapter on " The Origin of
Great Names" is curious and entertaining. " A
Trip to Parnassus," which mountain seems to be
quite out of reach, to judge from the specimens
given, is very amusing. The writer suggests that
some Government measure should protect the pub-
lic from the "mental assaults" of "ruthless poetas-
ters ;" and that, as in military or nautical offices,
candidates must answer certain questions, aspi-
rants for poetic honours should pass an examina-
tion in Horace's Art of Poetry, before allowed to
publish. The National Miscellany gives us the
third number of the " Military Geography of Tur-
key." A paper, entitled " How to Settle our
Poor," considers an old question in a new light.
" The Political and Military Aspect of Sweden" is
a subject of some importance at present, and may,
therefore, prove attractive. A criticism on
"Kean,' a drama by Alexandre Dumas, favours the
reader with the plot, which is the most absurd
andimprobable that could well be imagined.—
Tait's ,Edinburgh Magazine opens with a paper on
" Testimonials,' which are certainly growing
numerous and general. " Ilted Smith" is con-
tinued. University Reform Several sketches of travels and foreign
places are to be met with. Among the remaining
subjects may be mentioned Univer
and " Falstaff and Mistress Ursula.„Lt
j Edinburgh Journal has many sensible papers,
chiefly on ecclesiastical subjects. Some remarks
j on the war are very just.—The Scottish Review
presents the reader with an essay on " Epidemic
Delusions," in which, of course, table-rapping finds
a place. It is proposed in a future article toin-
quire into the nature of these delusions, and the
mode of remedying them. A paper on " English
Literature and the Reformation" scarcely renders
justice to Alexander Pope. The Assurance
Magazine has much information on business points.
—The Family Friend and Home Companion are
continued with their usual variety.—Orr's Circle
of the Sciences progresses satisfactorily.—Knight's
Cyclopedia is published in monthly parts, and will
make a valuable work of reference when com-
pleted.—The Land we Live in has reached the
fourth part.—The fifth number of Macaulay's
Essays has now appeared, and contains the exciting
" History of Lord Clive," the eloquent essay on
" Von Ranke's History of the Popes," "Gladstone
on Church and State," and the " Comic Dramatists
of the Reformation."

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

( From the Report of the Registrar-General. )

In the week that ended last Saturday the total num-
ber of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts was
1,290. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years
1844.53 the average number was 990 ; and if this is
raised in proportion to increase of population it becomes
1,089. There is, therefore, an excess in last week's re-
turn of 201 above the estimated amount.
The numbers returned in the four weeks of June have
been 1,110, 1,085, 1,153, and 1,290. The rate of mor-
tality in London has been high for some time, but at
the end of the quarter the registration of many coroners'
cases, that occurred previously, was completed, and to
this circumstance the heavy return of last week is in
great measure due.
Scarlatina appears to be gaining ground, the deaths
referred to it last week numbering 72. Small-pox was
fatal in 10 cases, measles in 22, hooping•cough in 35,
diarrhoea in 25, typhus in 47. Six children died of
syphilitic disease ; a man of hydrophobia.
_ _

Last week the births of 920 boys and 844 girls, in all
1,764 children, were registered in London. In nine cor-
responding weeks of the years 1845-53 the average num-
ber was 1,453.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.618 in. The
reading of the barometer was 29.98 in. at the beginning
of the week, and 29.82 in. at the end of it. The mean
temperature of the week was 57.9 deg., which is 3.5
deg. below the average of the same week in 38 years.
The mean daily temperature was 6.4 deg. above the
average on Sunday, and was below it during the rest of
the week. On Tuesday and Saturday it was 6.6 deg. and
8 deg. below the average. The highest temperature of
the week was 80 deg. on Sunday ; the lowest was 45.5
deg. on Friday. The mean dew point temperature was
was 52.4 deg. ; between this and the main temperature
of the air the difference is 5.5 deg. The wind blew
mostly from the south and south-west. The amount of
rain in the week was 0.52 in., most of which fell on
Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

RUSSIAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION.

The Medical Journal of Vienna states, on the
authority of letters which it has received, that the
sick and wounded of the Russian army of the
Danube are so numerous, that field hospitals had
been established in every village that they occu-
pied, and that they were all crowded. In the re-
treat they were compelled to abandon a consider-
able number for the want of the means of transport.
The mortality among the sick and wounded was in
April 41 per cent., and in May 60 per cent.
The Prussian Correspondence announces from
Bucharest, J une 25, that M. de Budberg, who had
been appointed by the Czar to the administration
of the Danubian provinces, has declared that the
Russians were about to evacuate Wallachi :, and
perhaps Moldavia, from motives of strategy.

THE BALTIC.

STOCKHOLM, June 29.—The Swenska Tidning
contains a letter from a merchant in Finland, who,
however, is probably a better man of business than
a man of war. He says the garrisons of the whole
province do not exceed 3,000 men, distributed in
equal strength in Abo, Wasa, and Garnla-Carleby,
that there was no chance of their being reinforced,
and that the oppressive heat and the extreme diffi-
culty of internal communication made it highly
improbable that fresh troops would be sent up. It
is only at Helsingfors and Sweaborg that there are
any large bodies of troops concentrated. He goes
on to say that the general feeling of the inhabitants
is hostile.

BARO SOUND, June 26.—We are ordered off very
suddenly. The admiral has just made a signal for
the captain of our ship to prepare for sea. We
expect to sail for England on the 2d, so you must
not be surprised at our arrival. We have been
expecting it, as we are fifty men short, and all
sorts of defects in the ship. The Commander-in-
Chief has gone up with the screw fleet to have a
look at Cronstadt. Whether he intends having an
attack on the place or not I cannot say. Admiral
Corry, with the sailing ships, are in company with
us ; they sail for Helsingfors (about ten miles east-
ward of this place), so as to prevent the Russian
fleet from coming out of that place, as it is expected
they will, so we hope to have ago in at them
before long. We are to join them again in a day
or two. The Odin, Hecla, and Valorous have had
a smart action at Bomarsund (the capital of the
Aland Islands), and captured 100 guns, destroyed
all their forts, and played the very deuce with
them, and have done all this with only six
wounded. We have heard news of our boat's crew
that were taken prisoners. The officers and fifteen
men were at Helsingfors, and are treated very
well. The remainder are left behind, at the place
of action, they having been wounded. It is gra-
tifying they are treated so well, as they complain
of nothing.
