rebellion, the President is entirely despised, and
nothing is spoken of but a plan to depose him
and put another in his place, and in fine, complete
Anarchy prevails in the country. Now we have
letters from Napoli di Romania of 25th, 27th, and 29th
\lay, written by well informed persons. which do not say
a word of the supposed troubles. They affirm on the
contrary that in the Government and administration every
thing is advancing—that daily improvements are making
in agriculture, and in tl.e public education—and that
hopes are entertained in the countty that every thing will
soon be placed on a solid foundation.

(FROM A COMMERCIAL LETTER.)
SMYRNA, JUNE 3.—You may perhaps read in the
German papers that the plague has broken out in Smyrna,
but I can give you entire satisfaction on this point. A fever
prevalent among the Greeks, which is accompanied with
many characteristics of the plague, but which is not
contagious, gave the first occasion to this report which
everywhere filled us all with fear and terror for a whole
week, and being encouraged by some persons with a view
to pecuniary interests, was the more believed. Happily it
was a groundless alarm, for in eleven days, which have
elapsed since the report, only eleven persons have died,
and those who were immediately about the sick are at
present all well.
Besides this, the Jew who is so celebrated for his know-
ledge of the plague affirms that the fever is of quite a
different nature.

In another part of The Sun will be found an
appeal to the nations of Europe, by the Presi-
dent of the Bank of Poland, on behalf of his
heroic countrymen. This appeal will not, we
are convinced, be without its due effect, as it
addresses itself not so much to the charity of
its readers, as to their good sense, patriotic
feeling, and even their habits of business. We
hope they will peruse it with the attention
it deserves. Whatever pecuniary aid they may
be inclined to forward to the Polish Committees
for the benefit of that much aggrieved country,
will be returned to them at a stated period, with
interest quite sufficiently handsome to reim-
burse them. We extract the following re-
marks on the subject from the appeal :
« We do not ask for those gifts so liberally fur-
nished to uphold the cause of the unhappy
Greeks ; we ask your aid only as a sacred debt,
and we have proved, under the murderous fire
of the enemy, that there is no crisis so despe-
rate as to induce us to forget our engage-
ments. It is in the hope that the aid we
ask will not be refused, that we apply
to the Polish Committee established in dif-
ferent countries, and that we request of those
that may eventually be formed, to receive such
aids, granting certificates in return for which
every subscriber for 600 Polish florins (15/., 375
francs, 145 flor. de corn., 200 banco marks,
100 Prussian dollars) will be entitled to a bond
designated as for the Polish aids."

[For a continuation of the proceeiings in the House of
Commons, see the Second Edition.]

The Public will be glad to find that
CoovEr's story of The Last of the Mohicans, is to form
the next number of " The Standard Novels." The above
tale is considered to be the most stirring of the whole of the
author's fiction. Surprise and adventure are the cha-
racteristics of every page ; few indeed can read of the
perils of the two young ladies (who are the heroines of
the narrative) among the Indians in the wildernesses
without many throbs both of pain and pleasure.

SINGULAR CASE OF SOMNOLENCY. —A
Spanish lady, Donna MARIA MORA is on her way from
Cadiz, for the purpose of procuring medical advice in
London for a most extraordinary case of somnolency. The
lady, it is asserted, remains asleep at times for three whole
weeks ! and no means have hitherto been devised for
awaking her. Nourishment is supplied her by her at-
tendants while she is in a state of insensibility. There
may be some exaggeration in this account ; hut the story,
we have the means of knowing, is founded in truth.--

nesday last, at the New Bailey, at Manchester, Dr. BROWN,

logue took place :
