BAVARIANS IN GREECE.

The great object of Bararia is to lull the suspicions
of the other Governments of Europe, by making it
appear that the Bavarians have left Greece. This,
though partly true, as regards the private soldiers, who,
if they did no good, were at all events harmless enough
in the country, is very far from the fact in re-
spect to those individuals who have the Govern-
ment of this country in their hands. I will
only quote the names of some few of the Bavarians
who remain in Greece, to show the power they still ex-
croise. General Smaltz, the Minister of War, and the
only confidential adviser of his Majesty, who has a seat
in the Cabinet ; Colonel Rosner, Commander-in-Chief
of the Gens-d'Arrnerie, er military police, having
a correspondence with every town and village
in the kingdom ; Colonel Hesse, his Majesty's
Aide-de-Camp and Commandant of the capital ;
Colonel Hitz, Commander-in-Chief of the ar-
tillery stationed in the important fortress of Nauplia,
with seven red-hot Bavarian captains to assist him ;
Colonel Feder, in command of a Greek battalion in
Maine, and virtually Viceroy of Msina and southern
provinces of the Morea ; Colonel Goesinann, Presi-
dent of the Clothing Department, and Distributor-
Gsneral of loaves and fishes to his countrymen ; Groper,
Judge-Advocate-General, and who, of course, de-
cides any question between Bavar ans and Greeks to
the best of his judgment. Major Neumayer, D.rector
of the Military Arsenal, rather a snug berth ; Colonel
Ower, in command of the battalion always stationed
at Athens ; Gebbart, Conscil!ier Ministeriel, or in
other words, the Minister of the Interior ; Baron Sten-
gel, his Majesty's Private Secretary, Jack-of-all-trades,
Signer of the Certificate, and Private Correspondent
to the King of Bavaria ; Feder, brother of toe Viceroy of
Maine, and Judge of the Areopagus, or Supreme Court.
Then comes the woods and forests, commissariat, the en-
gineering, and medical departments, all entirely in the
hands of the Bavarians ; and, lastly, a class of individuals
without names, and who call themselves professors, archi-
tects, geometricians, accountants, apothecaries, vete-
rinaries, and heaven knows what. So long as this
swarm of locusts, without rank in Bavaria or talent in
Greece, is allowed to remain here, it is useless expect-
ing to see amelioration in public affairs. They firm
the cancer gnawing at the heart of everything that
would otherwise be healthy, and that wLich is vile and
dirty fattens and nourishes them. The King of Bavaria
is the High-Priest they obey, and King Otho the golden
calf they worship.—Correspondent of the Chronicle.

SHOALS OF SALMON.—The river Wye was
carcely ever known to be so shallow at this period of the year
it has been for some weeks, and the old salmon find it diffi-
cult to return to the sea after spawning. On Monday and
yesterday hundreds of this fish, some of them very large, were
seen above the bridge in this city, waiting to go down, as they
are averse to passing under the arches in the daytime. 'there
is now rather a " fresh " in the river, and .he passage of the
fish will be therefore facilitated. We are glad to find that the
practice of illegal fleeting is exciting general attention in the
country. At Wofcester County Sessions, a representation was
made to the magistrates on tha subject, and doubtless the laws
against this offence will be strictly enforced. —Hereford
Journal.

AN APPARITION.—Some time ago, :It indus-
trious fam.ly went to Derby, from Wirkswor h, to procure em-
ployment, which they obtained. The occupant of the hos
they selected for their residence had just departed this life.
The room in which he died was contiguous to the one where
the family eat thi it meals, and which opened into it. One
night, the mother of the family while sitting at tea remarked,
that she should not feel right unless the room in which the
dead man had lain was cleaned and white-washed ; scarcely
had she spoken, when the latch of the door of the room alluded
to was shaken as if by some supernatural agency. Before the
horror-struck family could muster courage enough to enable
them to examine into the cause of so unusual an occurrence,
again the latch commenced shaking with still greater violence,
the door slowly opening; this was too much for the nerves of
the party, and, greatly alarmed, rushed forth the mistress of
the house, carryirg her child, uttering loud cries, and protest-
ing she would never again enter the haunted dwelling. Her
b-other, a stout athletic man, seized the poker, and with all his
might closed the door, holding it fist shut to prevent the egress
of any one from within. The neighbours flocked round, when
one of them explained that their departed neighbour had a cat,
which could open the latch of the door, which no doubt had
been the cause of their alarm. A search took place, when poor
puss was found, half famished and concealed, and had no doubt
Leen driven by hunger to exerciseher ingenuity for the purpose
of introducing herself to the new occupants of her departed
master's dwelling.—Derbyshire Chronicle.
SOUTHAMPTON RAIL-ROAD.—This morning
at eight o'clock, an experimental trial of the solidity of the
line of railroad, was made frogs Basingstoke to Winchester,
by a line of trains of carriages heavily laden with stone and
iron, which fully proved the excellence of the carriage line.
