from a very respectable source, and, more
over, agree with oar former accounts from that
Island, they have an indubitable claim to
the highest credit. The news, which ap-
peared in the last number of the Austrian Ob-
server, is not so late- by two weeks as that
we are now commenting upon, and, moreover, it
came through the remote and notoriously partial
channel of the Austrian Chancery at Constanti-
nople. These letters also confirm our former ad-
vices relative to the extraordinary preparations
of the Greeks: a camp of 10,000 men was to be
immediately formed before Patras under the
command of Conduriottis and Maurocordato ;
6,000 men were to invest Coron and Modon, and
a strong corps, consisting of 16,000 men, was to
proceed to Western Greece, to join the troops
already assembled there, in order to give the
Turkish Seraskier a good reception, should he
carry into effect his menace of invading that
Province.

The Committee on the Roman Catholic Re-

lief Bill is postponed till Friday, in consequence I
of the illness of Sir F. BURDETT. The accom-
panying measure for regulating the Elective
Franchise in Ireland is also delayed for the same
reason. The principal business in the House of
Commons last night was the passing of the Re-
solutions in Committee relative to the admission
of bonded- corn, and the importation of wheat
from the British Colonies in North America. The
Resolutions were brought forward by Mr. Hus-
kisson, in a speech in which he confined himself
to a brief statement of the law and the facts con-
nected with the subject. The Right Hon. Gen-
tleman proposed that the corn that has been
bonded for three years should be gradually in-
troduced, one-third during the month ending on
the 15th of June, another third on or before the
15th of July, and the remainder on or before the
15th of ArtTust. The quantity of bonded corn
thus rendered admissible to the home market is
estimated at 400,000 quarters ; and as it is calcu-
lated that the present tendency to rise will continue
the gradual introduction of this corn will not,
in all probability, be attended with any consider.
able inconvenience. The amount of duty is fixed,
not with a view to increase the receipts of the

Exchequer, but at such a rate as, while it pro-
tects the agriculturist, %%ill yet induce the holder
to bring his corn to market in case of any defi-
ciency of supply. The following is the duty
proposed :

X s. d.
For every quarter of 'Wheat - - 010 0
For every quarter of Eye, Peas, and Beans - 0 6 6
For every quarter of Barley, Beer, or Bigg - 0 5 0
For every quwter of Oats - 0 3 6
For every cwt. of Flour - - 0 2 10
The second Resolution removes all restrictions
on the importation of wheat from the British Co-
lonies in North America, and, in lieu of all
existing duties, imposes a duty of five shillings a
quarter. This duty, together with the costs of
freight, it is expected will be sufficient to pre-
vent the importation of wheat in excessive
quantities from North America. This propo-
sition is wholly prospective, as it is intended to
admit the North American corn now in the ware-
houses in the market, free of all duty, on the
15th of this month. There are only about 20,000
quarters in this country. Mr. Huskisson's speech
was clear and convincing. Air. Baring was of
opinion that the admission of the foreign corn in
the warehouses was a measure highly expedient,

that the time was judiciously chosen, and the
duty very fairly adjusted between the interests
of the proprietors of corn and those of the coun-
try at large.

Earl POIII'IIIOIIE, on his journey from Geneva,
has lately been attacked with a paralytic affec-
tion, in consequence of which, according -to the
latest accounts, serious apprehensions are enter-
tained of his Lordship's safety.
The United Associate Synod of Scotland met
last week to take into consideration the conduct
of Rev. Mr. Fletcher. After some discussion it
was ultimately agreed without a vote, that on ac-
count of the offences of Mr. Fletcher, his contu-
macy, his refusing to submit to the sentence of
the Synod, and from his giving no appearance of
repentance, he shall be declared a fugitive from
discipline--the Synod, at the same time, declar-
ing that though he was worthy of being deposed,
yet from the peculiar circumstances of his case,
they were content with merely expunging his
name from the roll. His name, therefore, was
ordered to be expunged. _

SINGULAR INSTANCE OF INCUBATION.—A lad
who a few weeks since had the misfortune to fracture his thigh
by a fall in the yard of his employer, Mr. Z. Fincham, banker,
of Diss, during the necessary period of his being obliged to
keep his bed, amused himself with hatching a hen's egg, which
has disclosed a fine chicken. Not yet being able to quit his
bed, he has undertaken the care of two other eggs for a second
brood.—(Norgich Mercury.)
The Annual Polyanthus Feast was held on Tuesday at the
Globe Inn ; the show of flowers was -uncommonly fine. The
first prize was adjudged to Mr. R. Hopkins ; the second to Mr.
Wm. Ewers, gardener to the Lord Bishop of Hereford; and
the third to Mr. Mann, of this city. The dinner and wines
were served in Clarke's usual style of excellence.—( South-
, ampton Pupil., April 30.)

Mr. ANDREW MEREDITH, of Ruerdean, the
prosecutor of Prober!, has been unable to regain
possession of his horse. The Magistrates refused
him permission to take the animal away until
after the trial was over ; and by that time, the
expences of its keep at livery, had exceeded his
present means of payment.
John Kean has been convicted at Glasgow of
dischara''ing loaded fire-arms with intent to
murder John Graham, one of Messrs. Dunlop's
I new spinners. The facts disclosed in evidence
showed it to have been as cold-blooded and
atrocious an attempt at assassination as was
ever made in Spain or Italy. After one ruffian
had discharged his pistol without effect, Kean ad-
vanced to within two yards of his victim, kneeled
down, took deliberate aim, and discharged a
. pistol full of swan shot into the body of the un-
fortunate workman. For the purpose of proi
duciog a striking effect ,a scaffold is to be erected
in front of the gaol, where Kean 15 to be v, hiPPed
