GREECE.

The Greek Chambers were prorogued on the 30th
of October. They are to meet again on the 22d of
December.

The following note has been addressed to Mr.
WYsE by the Greek Minister for Foreign Affairs :

" ATHENS, OCT. 28, 1849.
" TO TUE RIGHT HON. THOMAS WYSE, MINISTER PLENI-

POTENTIARY OF HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY.

" Sir,—ln a message to the President of the lonian
Senate, of the date of the 9th of this month, and pub-
lished in the official journal of the lonian Government.
and in which Mr. Ward, the Lord High Commissioner,
gives an account of the discovery which he has just
made of the secret society called the Great Fraternity
(La Grand Fraternity), the object of which was to revo-
lutionise Italy, Turkey in Europe, and the lonian
Islands, the following passage occurs:—
"' The conspirators presume, as your Highness will
see in a letter found in the possession of Signer Val-
liano, that their projects have royal support, and
that the plans which good faith and good sense reject,
are looked upon with no disfavour by a neighbouring
Sovereign.
" Such an observation, introducing an august name,
and not even being accompanied, on the part of him who
thought proper to use it, by any censure or disapproba.
Lion of those who have permitted themselves to conceive
or express such ideas, must naturally have outraged the
feelings of the government of the King, who is so plainly
made the object of this attack.
" This was, besides, so much the more unexpected,
and the more to be regretted, inasmuch as it is a matter
of public notoriety, and was also within the knowledge
of the Lord High Commissioner, that Signor Valliano,
in whose possession the letter in question was found,
having combined with the deserter Merediti, in the re-
bellion of the latter, and in the plunder of the bank at
Patras, would have infallibly been at this moment in the
hands of justice, if he had not contrived to escape to
Corfu with his accomplices. It can easily be under-
stood from this that such an individual could have no
connexion with the government of the King, and could
have possessed no influence with his Majesty.
" On the other hand, Mr. Ward is not ignorant that
on the demand of the British legation the King's Go-
vernment has taken care to remove from those parts of
Greece adjoining the lonian Islands lonian refugees, in
order to prevent them from keeping up any intercourse
with the favourers of disturbances in the islands; and
that, in order as much as in it lay to discourage them, it
even prohibited them from residing in that capital,
wishing thus to dissipate any idea that they could derive
advice or assistance from any source whatever.
" With such facts in evidence of its sentiments of in-
tegrity and its sincerity, the Government of the King
deems it unnecessary to protest under the circumstances,
feeling no doubt that the Government of her Britannie
Majesty will also consider that the respect and regard
which are due to august personages, and the courtesies
practised in international communications, have been
misunderstood in the insertion and publication of re-
marks such as .those of Mr. Ward.

(Signed) G. GLAWKIS.
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

FRAUD ON THE NOBILITY AND

DIGNITARIES OF THE CHURCH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I earnestly request you to make known, by
the publication of this litter in the columns of The
Sun, that an audacious fraud has lately been practised
on the nobility and other persons of influence, and
by so doing to clear me from the foul stigma which it
has endeavoured to fix upon me.
Letters have been written in my name, from 16,
Upper Stamford street, Blackfriars, falsely represent-
ing myself and family as in abject circumstances,
and begging for pecuniary aid. Considerable sums
of money have been obtained in this infamous man-
ner, at the above address, where rooms were hired for
the purpose.
I have been furnished with one of these letters by
Lord John Russell, and I beg here distinctly to state
that the whole is a gross falsehood and forgery.
Communications have also been received from Lord
Brougham, the Bishop of Oxford, and Lord Mahon,
which give important information on the subject.
Any person to whom application of this kind has
been made will greatly oblige me, and further the
ends of justice, by transmitting to me, if possible, the
letters in question, and also by stating what money,
if any, was sent in consequence, as the case is now in
the hands of the proper authorities, and every evidence
is desirable for the conviction of the offender, who is
known.

It is but justice to add, that the person from whom
the rooms were hired was, at the time, ignorant of the
deception.

I am, Sir, yours sincerely,
MARY HOWITT.
28, Upper Avenue-road, Regent's-park,
November 22.

THE HALL or COMMERCE.—Yesterday the Hall
of Commerce, Threadneedle•street, was put up to auc-
tion, at the Auction Mart, by Mr. Norton, when there
was a very numerous attendance of capitalists and
others, who were in the habit of attending the establish-
ment. The auctioneer stated that the cost of the Hall
of Commerce was about 80,0001., and that its value at
present as a fair investment was 60,0001. The first offer
was 20,0001., then the biddinga reached 35,0001.; the
auctioneer said that was about the snm given for the
site, which contained about 9,000 feet. The property,
after an active competition, was eventually knocked
djwn for 44,9001., which was stated to be below the re-
served sum.
THE WEATHER. —The weather continues uncom-
monly mild for the season. Copious rains have fallen at
intervals during the week, and the Ness flows iu large
but as usual beautifully pure volume. At Dunean, and
probably other farms in this neighbourhood, the autumn-
sown wheat is already peeping through the ground, and
is coming away exceedingly well in uniform breadth. A
Caithness correspondent writes:—" Our crops were never
better harvested; all are safe, but the quality is not good.
Oats weigh from 351bs. to 401bs. per bushel-381bs.
being about the average; here from 451bs. to 491bs.—the
average being 461bs; turnips are a good though not so
large crop as was expected."—lnverness Courier.
FINE ROOT OF POTATOES.—An isolated root of
potatocs, dug up the other day in the garden of Mr. F.
Bleteher, of the Mail Coach -inn, Rotherham, yielded
fully half a peck. The largest potato weighed a pound
and three quarters. - They are of the description known
as the " farmer's glory."— Sheffield Times.
FRENCH ACCOUNT OF LONDON THIEVES.—One of
the Lyons journals gravely relates that the thieves of
London constantly carry chloroform about them, and
when they select a victim seize him by the throat, and
compel him to breathe the stupifying vapour until he
falls senseless !
It is -curious with what moral fortitude men can
bear with the misfortunes of others.—Eliza Coors
Journal.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cottn at Liverpool yesterday did not
exceed 3,000 bales, all to the trade. The market was
quiet.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business was
done at rather lowt r prices.
The Bank of England account is undergoing rapid
changes. During the week to the 17th instant the
Active circulation fell off materially, while the assets,
especially bullion and public deposits, were increasing.
The addition made to the last-named item is particularly
gratifying, and speaks well for the revenue. The
count business of the Corporation is shown to have eur-
ther diminished. Compared with the previous week,
the following are the results

during the neck to Thursday last were 1,800 ounces in
silver coin to Boulogne, and 20,000 ounces in bars to
Rotterdam.

The accounts received this morning from the manu-
facturing districts describe business as being compara-

may have some effect next week.
