Fiffirigham Wilson, Junior, 16, King William-street, London-

sity for such an infraction of the Sabbath, because the
wind would most probably continue fair till Monday.
In short, this saving word " necessity" has no earthly
meaning, and though it may be comprehensive and
charitable enough in appearance, in reality it
leaves the Bill just as starch and despotic
as ever. Again therefore, we say, such a measure
cannot—must not pass. It is a rank libel on religion
—a deliberate affront to society, fit only to be torn to
atoms, and flung in the face of the dull, sour-faced,
paradoxical Merry-Andrew who has brought it for-
ward. In God's name, leave the observance of the
Sabbath to the good taste of the community. It cannot
be left in better hands. Men are not to be dragooned
into devotion. You may make them hypocrites, but
you cannot make them religious, even though you keep
them under lock and key in their own houses, and
forbid them a crust of bread, from twelve o'clock on
Saturday night, till the same hour on Monday night.
We are no advocates for the " flogging system," but
we cannot help thinking that a round dozen or two at
the halberts, laid on by a strapping drummer, would
have a most beneficial effect on Sir ANDREW AGNEW,
by cooling that fanatical fever under which he now so
distressingly labors. We flog soldiers into morality—
why then should we not flog Saints into common-sense ?

Our readers will be gratified to learn, from our Par-
liamentary report, that Ministers have not been inat-
tentive to the claims of the Dissenters to relief from
that most obnoxious and galling of all imposts, the
Church. rate. Lord:JoHN RUSSELL stated, in reply
to a question put to him by Lord STANLEY, that it is
the intention of Government to introduce a measure on
the subject, as soon as the Report of the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners shall have been submitted to the
House. Tha Dissenters will, we are sure, know how
to appreciate the manly declaration of the Noble
Lord, that " he had already introduced two measures
for the relief of Dissenters, with regard to Registration
and Marriage, hut he should consider them very inef-
ficient unless the House was prepared to settle the
question of Church-rates also."

We have advices from Greece of the 7th of April.
The Government has succeeded i❑ putting down the
rebellion in western Roumelia, and in driving the
Klephtis hands across the eastern frontier. These
marauders had congregated in such numbers as to lay
siege to Missolonghi, and but for the intrepid bravery
of Colonel ALMEYDA, who compelled every inhabi-
tant capable of bearing arms to defend the town till the
garrison received reinforcements, they would have made
themselves masters of it without difficulty. At the
same time regular bands attacked Lepanto, Vrachori,
and Vonitza ; and at Echinos, where they were at-
tacked by M. ZEITUNI, a Bavarian officer, the Go-
vernment troops were defeated with considerable loss.
The Government at last was forced to bestir itself. On
28th of February King Oruro published a Royal De-
cree for increasing the, number of the militia encamped
on the frontier by a levy of two thousand soldiers—
in which all were admissible who had fought for
the independwee of Greece. These troops were to
receive a great increase of pay, with rations of flour
daily, to be provided by the Government. Nothing
more than the publication of this decree was neces-
sary to pacify the interior of Greece. It was tanta-
mount to a general amnesty, for the insurgents had
all fought for the independence ; and as they had
taken up arms as rebels, in consequence of their
destitute condition—which they wholly attributed to
Bavarian influence—they thus obtained indirectly the
redress of their worst grievances. General CHußcir
has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of Rou-
melia, without being subject to the authority of the
Minister of War.

Greece never will, and never ought to be content,
while the country is swarmed with such hives of Ba-
varian adventurers as now infest it. After enduring the
protracted horrors of a war of independence, it is not
unreasonable that they should insist upon a Constitu-
tion, and the right of enjoying those honours and dig-
nities in the State for which they sacrificed their pos-
sessions, and shed their blood. The Greeks did not
throw off the yoke of the Ottoman empire to become
the humble tributaries of such a Power as Bavaria ;
and when we see them in arms against the Government
with a view to wring from it a charter, and the riddance
of their country from a horde of hungry place-hunting
foreigners, too lazy or too proud to work for their sup-
port, we almost hesitate to denominate them rebels.

King OTIIO was about to proceed to Germany on
a matrimonial errand. It was rumoured that he was
to have his choice of two daughters of the King of
WIRTEMBERG, by a former marriage. The state of
Greece, though now tranquil, would not, it was sup-
posed, allow him to remain long absent from his do-
minions.

We have Hamburgh Papers of the 28th ult. On
Thursday last the most respectable citizens of Ham-
burgh gave a public dinner to Dr. GA BRI EL
RIESSER, a learned Jew, previous to his leaving the
city, in consequence of the late barbarous attack made
upon the members of the Hebrew community. Many
other wealthy Jewish families have also left the
Hanseatic territory on the same account. Dr. HAHN,
in the name of his brethren and the liberal citizens of
Hamburgh, presented Dr. RIESSER with a medal,
of the value of one hundred and fifty guineas. In the
course of the evening several of the speakers expressed
themselves grateful to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord
GLENELG, Mr. HUME, and Mr. O'CONNELL, for
their great services in favour of Jewish emancipation.
The following are extracts from the papers :

STOCKHOLM, APRIL, 22.—. The Dayligt Alkhanda of to-day
has the following article
" We hear that orders have been sent by a courier to
Carlscrona to equip a squadron of six ships to go to sea with-
out delay, and likewise to arm several others."
We do not know whether this intelligence is as premature
as the following, which the same paper adds :
In connexion with the above, it is said that 15 English
ships have been seen in the Cattegat, and that an equal num-
ber of Russian ships have sailed from Cronstadt, the imme-
diate destination of which is to cruise on the coast of Livonia
and Esthonia. It is added that eight English transports are
in the road of Copenhagen to take up provisions.'
FRANKFORT, APRIL 22.-0 ne of our journals, called the
Conversations Blatt, contains the following letter from M.
Leopold Scheffer, of Muskau, dated the 18th ult.
Prince Puckler Muskau, in Arcadia, writes to me from
Patras, the 15th of January this year—
' Greece is in the most deplorable condition, much lower in
every respect in civilization than Barbary, and is, I hear, quite
laid waste. You have seen the beautiful plain of Patras, now
a desert, overgrown with weeds and rushes, without a single
tree where formerly 100,000 grew. Robbers made the whole
country extremely unsafe, and yesterday I came to a mill in
the mountains, the owner of which, after being robbed, had
his nose and ears cut off, and, if I read aright, his mouth
also, as a remedy against freedom of speech. But for tho
English Consul, I should be almost starved here ; and yet
everybody tells me that Patras is the principal town in New
Greece, not excepting even Athens 1' The Prince is now at
Constantinople.
CRACOW, APRIL 20.__The• birth-day of his Majesty the
Emperor of Austria was kept here yesterday with great so-
lemnity. Crowds of citizens crowded to the plain of Blonie,
where the allied troops were to assemble for divine service,
and afterwards to perform some evolutions. About ten in the
morning Major-General Kaufna ann received the compliments
of the residents of the three protecting Powers, and of our civil
and military authorities. To an A ldress of Senator Kielczewski
the General replied, that he would not fail to communicate
to his Majesty, the sentiments expressed on the part
of the Government of Cracow ; at the same time lie returned
thanks for the hospitable reception which the troops of the
three Allied Powers had met with in Cracow, and expressed a
hope that the august Protectors would duly appreciate the
good sentiments of the inhabitants of Cracow, and be pleased
to establish on more solid foundations the liberty and prosperity
of this republic. At eleven o'cloci: the General arrived on
the field, and after the review gave a magnificent entertainment
in honour of his Sovereign's birth-day, to which the President
of the Senate, the residents, the officers, and many other per-
sons, were invited. The officers anti privates had also a hand-

some dinner. The Russian troops which occupied the territory
of the republic, and came to the city yesterday to take part in
the festivities, left us to-day to return to the kingdom of
Poland ; the Prussian troops have likewise left the territory of
Cracow ; and the Austrian battalion of infantry and three
squadrons of cavalry are gone to Podgorze.'

WILL OF JAMES WOOD, ESQ., OF

GLOUCESTER.

Mr. Wood's will is thus expressed :—" Instructions for the
will of me, James Wood. I request my friends, Alderman
Wood, M.P., of London ; John Chadborn, of Gloucester (his
attorney) ; Jacob Osborne, of Gloucester, and John Surman,
of Gloucester (his two clerks), to be my executors, and I
appoint them executors accordingly. And I desire that they
will take possession of, and retain to themselves, all my ready
moneys, securities, and personal estate, subject to the pay-
ment of my just debts and such legacies as I may hereafter
direct. And with respect to my real estate I shall dispose of
the same to such persons, and in such parts, as I shall, by any
writing indorsed herein, direct.
" Witness my hand, 2d Dec., 1834.

" JAMES WOOD."
" I, James Wood, Esq., do declare that to be my will for
disposing my essate as directed by my instructions.
" I declare my wish that my executors shall have all my
estates, real and personal property, which I may not dispose
of; and that all my estate, real and personal, shall go amongst
them and their heirs in equal proportions, subject to my
debts and to my legacies or bequests, of any part thereof, i"
any which I may hereafter make.
" In witness whereof I have to this my last will and testa

[The words marked in italics are scored through in the will.]

Mr. Gale, of Broadway, Westminster, has favoured us with
the above copy of Mr. Wood's will. Mr. Gale himself is a
relation of Mr. Wood, and informs us that Mr. Wood has left
nine second and third cousins, and that Messrs. Jennings and
Son have entered a caveat against this will. Mr. Wood has
left about 1,800,000/. in the Bank of England. His real pro-
perty is believed to be worth about one million.

His Excellency General Count Sebastiani gave a
grand dinner on Sunday evening at Hertford-house, Man-
chester-square, in honour of the fete-day of his Majesty the
King of the French, to the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount
Melbourne, Count Pozzo di Borgo, Baron de Blome, Count
Bjornstjerna, Baron Moncorvo, Count d'Ag*, M. Humme.

Her Majesty's first grand state ball at St. James's
being fixed for Friday the 13th instant, the parties fixed for
that day are postponed.
His Royal Highness the hereditary Prince of
Orange, with his two sons and suite, are expected to arrive
at Mivart's Hotel, Lower Brook-street,. to-morrow, from Am-
sterdam. The Dutch Minister, M. Dodd, who occupies
apartments at Mivart's, will receive the Prince on his land-
ing. His Highness a ill be present at her Majesty's next draw-
ing-room, and several grand entertainments will be given in
honour of his arrival.
DEATH OF THE COUNTESS DOWAGER OF
GLENGALL.—Her Ladyship, who had entered her 70th year,
was found dead in her bed in Grosvenor-street yesterday morn-
ing. On the previous evening she had engaged herself to
dine with the Earl of Clare, in Belgrave-square, 'but begged
they would not wait beyond eight o'clock, as she felt herself
rather indisposed with a slight cold.
The Echo de Rouen states that it is the intention
of a deputy, whose name it does not give, to bring in a Bill
for authorizing the vote by proxy. Ministers would thus be
secure of the votes of functionaries without calling them from
their duties.
DUBLIN ELECTION PETITION.—Nothing of iM-
portance took place at the sitting of the Dublin Election Com-
mittee yesterday after our reporter left.
MR. BULWER'S " DEVEREUX.”—This novel is
again exciting extraordinary attention by its cheap re-publica-
tion in Colburn's Modern Novelists. The entire three volumes
arc here comprised in one, elegantly printed, with two fine em-
bellishments by Wright, for six shillings! In Devereux the
author has given the imaginary autobiography of a friend of
Lord Bolingbroke, whose fortunes were in the highest degree
singular and romantic. Bolingbroke is a leading character,
and the picture, drawn by the novelist, of this great man, is
acknowledged to be one of the finest and most dramatic spe-
cimens extant of literary portraiture. Pope, Swift, Addison,
Steele, Colley Cibber, Fielding, Sir Godfrey Kneller, Lady
M. W. Montagu, the celebrated Duchess of Marlborough,
and other interesting personages of the time, also figure in the
work.

WHISKEY.—Last Monday, at a public meeting in
Berwick, a petition to Parliament was adopted for the equali-
zation of the excise duties on whiskey. The present duty per
gallon in Scotland is only 3s. 4d., while in England it is Ss. 2d.
ASSAULT EXTRAORDINARY.—On Monday last,
as a commercial gentleman was proceeding to this town from
Taunton, on passing Castle-hill his progress was unceremo-
niously interrupted by the progress of an angry goose, jealous
of the safety of her young progeny ; who, after a few menac-
ing hisses and cackles, flew up and perched herself on his
shoulders, and, with flapping wings, assailed him right and
left. Unprepared for such an extraordinary encounter, it was
not without some difficulty that he at last freed himself from
his disagreeable assailant.—Sherborne Journal
The Savings' Banks of Paris received on Sunday,
the. 24th, and Monday, the 25th of April, 3,787 deposits, 635
of which were fresh ones, amounting to 561,439 fr. The sums
claimed amounted to 410,000 fr. The receipts of April
amounted altogether to 2,363,765 fr., paid in by 16,624 de-
positors, 2,493 of whom were new ones.

Sir William Follett has experienced a slight return
of his recent illness, which has confined him to his room for
the last week.

MASTER IN CHANCERY.—It is reported that Mr.
Senior refused the offer of the vacant Mastership on the terms
proposed to him—namely, that he should submit to a reduc-
tion of the salary and emoluments to a sum not exceeding
2,0001. a year, and that consequently there will be no final
arrangement until after the Bill now before the House of
Lords for the Reform of the Chancery Courts be settled in
its details.

MEETING OF THE BARONETS.—On Friday a nu-
merous meeting of the Baronets of England was held at the
Clarendon Hotel, Bond-street, for the purpose of adopting
measures for their resuming the rights of their order, such as
bearing the ancient style of " The Honourable," and wearing
the badge of the Baronets of Ulster, being similar to that of
Nova Scotia, worn by the Baronets of Scotland, which privi-
lege was granted to them by Charles the First. Sir John
Chetwode, Bart., was in the Chair. Richard Broun, Esq.,
the Hon. Secretary, then read the report, which stated that
upwards of 220 had sent letters approving of the views of the
meeting. Various resolutions, embracing the objects of the
meeting, were passed. A proposition was then made and
adopted—by most of the Baronets present putting down their
names as members—to form a Baronet's Club, also to form a
Chapter House for their meeting.
A traveller in Persia tells us that many people in
that country " swallow 16 melons before breakfast." How-
ever true this may be, many persons we should think will
doubt whether the Persians or their historian have " the widest
swallow."

GOSSIP ABOUT ROYAL MARRIAGES ABROAD.
—Several persons who have resided during the last winter
at Vienna, assert that the conversation in the various salons
of that capital turns a good deal on the approaching mar-
riage of the Archduchess Maria Theresa Isabella, whose
hand has been sought by several princes. There was at first
some talk of the Hereditary PEnce of Bavaria, who went to
Vienna, but unsuccessfully ; then of the Hereditary Prince
of Russia, who met the young Princess at Toplitz, without
making any impression on her heart; then of King Otho, of
Greece, who seems inclined shortly to return to Germany.
The Duke of Orleans has also been spoken of. Not only
the Princess Theresa, but her father, Prince Charles, and
the Emperor also, were opposed to the union with the Czaro-
vitch, and they look upon the Greek kingdom as scarcely con-
solidated yet. Prince Charles is said to have observed that
his daughter should not be sacrificed to polical objects, and
that her choice should remain free. The Archduchess is be-
tween nineteen and tweenty years of age, very pretty, simple
in her manners, and well brought up. Of all the Princes of
the house of Austria Prince Charles is least a slave to etiquette,
he even enters the hotels near Vienna accompanied by his
daughter, and delights in conversation with the middling
classes.—French Paper.
The lambing-down of the Southdown flocks is now
nearly over, and we are sorry to learn that the season has
been attended with great losses. The clip of wool this year
must consequently be very light.—Bath Herald.
A man, in the employment of his Grace the Duke
of Portland, has been missing ever since the day before Good

Among the many strange modes of suicide we have
had to record, the following is not the least extraordinary. A
man living at Marre, in the Alayenne: being jilted by a young
woman who had promised him marriage, deliberately heated
an oven, crept into it, and closed the door. Life was no doubt
very quickly extinct, though he seems to have made one effort
to save it, as his head was found turned towards the door._
French Paper.
The boat Lady Chalmers, of Broadsea, left Fraser-
burgh, several weeks ago, deeply laden with cod fish and her-
rings, for the Frith of Forth. No accounts of her safety have
reached home ; and from the state of the weather the day after
she sailed, there is too much reason to fear that the crew, four
in number, have perished.—Edinburgh Courant.
Does Sir James Graham remember the declaration
made by him at Hull in 1818, when elected Member for the
town, that whenever he deserted the cause of the people ',may

Frederick Von Rautner, the eminent German Pro-
fessor, whose " England in 1835" has occasioned so much
controversy, is arrived in London, and we have heard already
occupied on a new work.

DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE
(THIS DAY.)

The Committee met this morning at half-past eleven o'clock.
Mr. THESSIGER resumed his argument, in which he was in-
terrupted by the adjournment on Monday. He contended
that no evidence of bribery had been given against the unsuc-
cessful candidates. In his former observations, he omitted to
state a most important fact—namely, that Knaggs, whom
he described as a faithless wretch, and unworthy of cre-
dit, had voted on the Friday of the election for O'Con-
nell and Ruthven. The Learned Gentleman proceeded
at considerable length to comment on the evidence—on the
discrepancies therein, and on the gross misconduct and vexa-
tious delay of the sitting members and their agents in pro-
tracting the enquiry before the Commissioners in Dublin. He
denounced the witness, Knaggs, as a foul conspirator against
West and Hamilton, assisted by others whom he would not
name, who procured his voluntary affidavit at an early stage of
the proceedings ; and when they had arrived at almost the
end of the scrutiny, coming forward to describe this as the
most important part of the enquiry. Mr. Thessiger had not
concluded his statement when our reporter left.
