GREECE.

We have received AthenspaPers to the 27th of
January. _

The Currier d'AtNmes announces another Minis-
terial crisis. M. ANASTASIUS LONDOS, the Minister
of the Interior, had resigned office in consequence of
some dispute with his colleagues relative to the Mi-
nister of War, General MAYRO MICHALIS, whose dis-
missal he had demanded ; yet a few days afterwards,
the seceding Minister re-entered the Cabinet as Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs, M. GLARARI being simul-
taneously appointed to the Department of the Inte-
rior. The latter appointment is attributed to the in-
fluence of the Committee.

The small-pox was raging in Athens. The advices
from the provinces give a deplorable account of the
depredations of the brigands.
There is no Parliamentary intelligence of interest.

TRIAL OF MR. DUFFY.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDia:EVENING.—In the Commis-
sion Court this morning the Judges gave their opinion
against the demurrer put in by the prisoner's counsel
to the indictment, stating that they considered it to
be most correctly framed in every particular, and in
conformity with the Act of Parliament, and that it
would have been really open to objection if framed as
the prisoner's counsel contended it should have been.
Mr. Duffy having been called on to plead, pleaded
" Not Guilty," after which Sir C. O'Loghlen moved
for a bill of particulars, which the Attorney-General
said he furnished to Mr. Duffy's attorney, by the
Crown Solicitor, before he proceeded to state the
case.

The prisoner's counsel next asked to have the panel
called over to enable them to consider which course
they should adopt as to challenging; and the Crown
having made no objection, it was called over, and 86
out of 178 jurors answered.
The Court at two o'clock went into ordinary busi
ness for about an hour, when the prisoner's counsel
handed in a challenge, to the array of which the
Attorney- General joined issue. Messrs. Andrew,
Thomas Rogers, of Upper Baggot-street, and George
White, of College-green, were appointed triers, and
Mr. Butt was about to address them at post hour.
The challenge, which was extremely long, was to the
effect that the prisoner would be prejudiced if tried
by a jury selected from it, as it was not impartially
framed by W. D. Latouche, the High Sheriff. It
alleged bath political and religious objections to the
jurors, and also that the panel was taken, contrary to
the usual practice, from the list of special jurors.

PENINSULAR MAILS.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

SOUTHA3IPTON, THURSDAY MORNING.—By the ar-
rival of the Peninsular steamer Madrid, Captain John
Bowen, with the usual mails, we have advices from
Gibraltar of the 6th; Cadiz, 7th ; Lisbon, 9th ; Vigo,
11th. The Madrid brings freight, 600 chests of
oranges and 38 packages of specie. Portugal remains
perfectly tranquil. Saldanha's reconstructed Cabinet
was supposed to be in a hazardous and insecure
position.

Lisbon exchange on London at three months, 53,
Bank notes 41i discount. The Board of Public
Credit had declined to issue new stock for the 20 per
cent. taken off the dividends of 1846 till the Govern-
ment had made arrangements to pay the arrears of
interest.

We learn from Gibraltar that the dispute between
Great Britain and Morocco was in a fair way of
arrangement. Sir C. Napier's squadron remained in
the bay pending negotiations.

The Moorish Consul had returned to Gibraltar.

Her Majesty's ships Rodney and Vanguard arrived
at Gibraltar from Malta on the 4th.

Gibraltar Exchange on London at 90 days, 49
to 49k.

UNDER-SHERIFF'S COURT.
NORTH v. MILLER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—This cause was reported in your papar of the
18th instant, and I am sorry to say that many of the
profession to whom I am not well known imagined
that it was I who conducted the case for the plaintiff,
from the fact of the name of a Mr. Collins being as-
sociated with that of Mr. May—a gentleman in my
office being named Collins. You will oblige me by
allowing this erroneous impression to be corrected
by inserting this letter in the next number of your
widely-circulating journal.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant, J. BOWEN MAY.
14, Queen-square, Bloomsbury,
Feb. 14, 1849.

THE NEPHEW OF THE EMPEROR.—La Libertd
publishes the following anecdote, under the title of " Be-
nevolence of the nephew of the Emperor." A fact is men-
tioned which proves the excellence of Louis Napoleon
Bonapartete heart, and which is rendering him exceed-
ingly popular amongst the laborious and suffering
classes. The wife of an insurgent of June, occupying a
miserable garret in the Cite, lost her husband in June
last during the attack on the Petit Pont. She was re-
duced to the most extreme distress, with a family of
five children, of whom the eldest was only ten years
of age, and having been informed by a neighbour that
the President of the Republic had arrived at the Hotel
Dieu to visit it, she requested a friend to write on a sheet
of paper these simple words:—" The wife of au insur-
gent killed at the barricades, daughter of an old sol-
dier, the mother of five children, reduced to starvation,
has no hopes but in you. She lives at such a number,
in such a street." She threw the paper into the Presi-
dent's carriage, which waited on the Place Notre Dame.
The President of the Republic did not perceive the paper
until he was alighting at the Palais Elysee. The fol-
lowing day a private carriage stopped in front of the
house indicated in the paper, and a gentleman having
made some inquiries in the neighbourhood, ascended to
the garret, where the most appalling distress presented
itself to his sight. " What dots the gentleman wish ?"
said the poor woman. " I bring vou assistance in the
name of the President of the Republic." " Oh, my God!
he has taken pity on me. I was told he was charitable
and humane to the poor." " What do you require for the
moment, my poor woman?" "20f. to pay my rent, and
some trifle to keep my children from starving until I can
procure employment." Well, lam charged to give
you those two notes of 100 f. each." At the sight of the
notes the poor woman had nearly fainted. Her first im•
'pulse was to embrace her children; exclaiming, " You
are saved!" The stranger, visibly affected, withdrew,
leaving a visiting card, and telling her to come to his
address whenever she required assistance. Great was
her astonishment when she read on the card, The Pre-
sident of the Republic." She burst into tears and ran
down stairs to the house porter to communicate her de-
light. " What!" said he, "that gentleman so simply
attired was the nephew of the Emperor I Ah, had I
known him, I would have asked permission to embrace
him." The entire neighbourhood was soon informed of
the visit of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. "It is like the
period of the empire," said one, when speaking the fol-
lowing day of the President's noble action.

RZIPRESENTATION CIP ROCHDALI.—W43 understand
that it is the intention of Mr. Sharman Crawford to re-
sign the representation of Rochdale at the close of the
present Parliament. In consequence of this a private
canvass is said to be taking place among the Whig party
as to the choice of a candidate. There are two names
mentioned—Mr. John Hoyle and Mr. Jacob Bright, jun.
We hopo the Conservatives are on the alert, for, with
either of the above gentlemen for an opposing candidate,
there need be no fear of the result.—Manchester Courier.

THE NAvr.—The Navy Club of the Thatched
House Tavern held their annual dinner at St. James's,
last evening. Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., M.P.,
the newly-elected President of the ancient club, was in
the chair, and was well supported by a lot of gallant and
distinguished officers. By the regulations of this society,
one gentleman only, who is not a member, is allowed to
be introduced at its festivals ; and this privilege is
awarded to the president in favour of his friend, On the
present occasion the gallant and popular chairman most
appropriately invited, as his friend, the French Ambits.
sador, that eminent officer of the French navy, Vice-
Admiral Cecile, who, with the most good feeling cor-
dially accepted the honour of meeting a body of distin-
guished British naval officers.
FIRS AND WATER.—John Taison, an Indian na-
tive of Connecticut, being found dead on a winter morn-
ing, not far from a tavern, where he had been drinking
freely of spirituous liquors the evening before, the la-
diens immediately assembled a jury of their own tribe,
who, after examining the body of the defunct, unani-
mously agreed, " That the said Taisoa's death was occa-
sioned by the freezing of a large quantity of water in
his body that bad been imprudently mixed with the rum
ho drank."

MO.NEY and COMMERCIAL NEW 3,

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Coton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
in a very excited state, and a large business
was done; sales were variously estimated at from
30,000 to 35,000 bales ; the prices of all
kinds were id. higher, and in some instances id.
was obtained tor mid. qualities of American. The quo.
tations were—American, 30. to sid.; Pernams and
Maranhams, sd. to sid.; Bahia, sd. to sid.; Egyptian,
51d. to 64d.; Surats, 3d. to 4d.; and Sea Island, Bd. to
11d. per lb. The market for Railway Shares was better,
prices were a shade higher, and a large business was
done.

There has been some curiosity expressed to learn
whether the Bank of England would lower its terms of
discount, and if any alteration occurs we shall notice it
in the latter part of this article.
Doubts are expressed whether the amendment of l'is
navigation laws will be agreed to in the Lords, but the
feeling in the City is that there will be a large majority
in the Commons. As a further instance of the want of
energy or ability on the part of our shipowners, with all
their protection, we give the following from Odessa:—
" The number of vessels arrived last year was 1,091,
and of those sailed 1,056. Freights have varied a good
deal ; in March and April they were as low as
40s, per ton Tallow, under British colours; and
31s. 6d. per ton under Russian colours, from
hence to the United Kingdom. In September
they rose to 87s. 6d. to 90s. Since then they have been
again on the decline, the last rate paid was 655., and
60s. is now asked in vain for ships expected from Con-
stautinople with first favourable opportunity."
There are no arrivals to-day.
The English Stock Market has beeen receding again,
and there has been some supply of Consols, which
have been down to 94i, and 93 for Transfer,
and to 94} and 94 for Account. The New
Three-and a Quarter per Cents. have been 95} f. and
since 94i. The Three per Cent. Annuities have been
94 to f. Bank Stock is worth 197. Exchequer-bills
are worth 41'. to 435. for those of March.
Consols for Account are now 94i to I. The
state of the Italian question, and the impression that
prices have been run up too quickly, has caused the re-
action, otherwise there is no particular cause for the
change. The arrangement on the account day, was one
cause of the rapid improvement.

The Foreign Securities are influenced a little by the
decline in Consols, but there is no great alteration.
Mexican are steady at 251 1; Grenada bring 151.
Cbilian Three per Cents. are worth 55. Spanish Ac-
tive stock is worth 171 to 181, and the Three per Cents.
294 to 291. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 25 to 251.
Dutch Two-and-a• Halt per Cents. have been 501.
In Railway Shares there has been a moderate busi-
ness, and in several cases at higher values. North-
Western, Midland, North British, and Scottish Central
are higher. Caledonian and Hudson's York lines
scarcely so good. The French Shares are still very
buoyant.
