The French squadron at Athens paid due ho-
nour to. King...oth° on his departure from the
Pirmus, and also to the Queen, on her return from
accompanying the King. Wo find the following
relating to this, subject in a letter from Athens,
26th June, in the Nouvelliste of Marseilles :
" The day after the King left, the Ministers of War
and Justice, undertaking a mission foreign to their func-
tions and which properly belonged to an aide-de camp of
the royal househcrld, or the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
went to the Ffench admiral's vessel, to thank him in
the Queen's name, for his conduct the day before. The
admiral-flatly refused to receive them, for he has never
had any political 'relations with the ministers who
succeeded MM. Mavrocordato and Kalergis, being un-
willing thit, by indirect means and without his previous
consent, the Ministers should succeed in opening rela-
tions with him by a mere mancanvre. This refusal
becoming known made a profound- impression on the
public. Sotne..days after the admiral gave agrand mili-
tary fete near the Pirmus, consisting of a sham fight
representing the battle of Lily, in which the Moors were
represented by French and English sailors in Arab
dresses, and who went through their task admirably.
An immense crowd witnessed the fete, but not a Greek
officer or soldier was present, the Minister of War hav-
ing forbidden them to attend."
The same letter goes on to say that the editors
of the Minerva, who had been arrested for writ-
ing strongly in favour of the services rendered
by France and England; have been thrown into
the convicts' prison and that the journal has ceased
to appear. ' There is, consequently, no journal at
present ; defending the Western policy, and the
public mind is left exposed to the influence of the
mischievous calumnies of the Government press,
which spares no pains to excite ill-feeling against
everything French or English. The letter in the
Nouvelliste further says :

"Brigandage spreads from day to day, and threatens
to overrun the whole country. It can hardly have
escaped the penetration of the French and English Go-
vernments that,, in spite of the troops said to be sent
after them, not a single robber is ever caught. In
the Peloponesus not fewer than 60 persons have heen
lately stript of everything by "the robbers, without en•
countering any impediment or hindrance from the
troops." --

GREECE.

The French squadron at Athens paid due ho-
nour to King Otho on his departure from the
Pincus, and also to the Queen, on her return from
accompanying the King. We find the following
relating to this subject in a letter from Athens,
26th June, in the .N ouvelliste of Marseilles :

and Justice, undertaking a mission foreign to their func-
tions and which properly belonged to an aide-decamp of
the royal household, or the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
went to the French admiral's vessel, to thank him in
the Queen's name, fur his conduct the day before. The
admiral ilatV refused to receive them, for he has never
bad any political relations with the ministers who
succeeded AIM. Mavrocordato and Kilergis, being un-
willing, that, by indirect means And without his previous
consent, the Ministers should succeed in opening rela-
tions with him -by a mere manoeuvre. This refusal
becoming known made a profound impression on the
public. Some days after the admiral.gave a grand mili-
tary fete neisi the Pirseus, consisting of a sham fight
representing the battle of Isly, in which the Moors were

RUSSIA.

An Imperial ukase, dated June 25th, empowers
the Minister of Finance to issue two new series of
Treasury notes, to the amount of 6,000,000 of sil-
ver roubles. They are destined, according to the
terms of the ukase, to take the place of two series
of notes issued in 1843, and which must now be
paid off. They are to bear interest from July Ist.
The Marine Journal mentions that a number of
gun-boats have been lately launched, with perfect
success, in the presence of the Grand Duke Con-
stantine and other Imperial Princes ; and various
reviews of these small craft have since been held.
An Imperial ukase orders that the owners of all
boats shall be required to prevent any private
persons who may hire their craft from taking
any soundings in the sailing channel along
the coast in the Government of St. Peters-
burg and in the arms of the Neva. The
Grand-Duke Constantine has ordered that the
musketoons, which have hitherto been used in
the navy as boarding weapons, shall be re-
placed by rifle fire-arms such as used by the
Dragoons, and the latter have already been distri-
buted to the different crews.

The official lists of the shipping in Finland show
the present amount of craft still afloat, together
with the extent of the losses that province has sus-
tained. during the war. There remain still 295
trading vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of
21,668 lasts, and there were 89 vessels captured
during the war, with a tonnage of 9,514 last.
The state of the growing crops is described as
very satisfactory in all the governments; in Cherson
a'one there seems to be . a plague of locusts, but
measures are already being taken to extirpate them.
It is mentioned in Russian correspondence, that
an Englishman and a Frenchman are at present in
St. Petersburg actively promoting the views of
capitalists of their respective nations, in the prose-
eution of the various plans for railways, that the
Govermuent have so much at heart in carrying out.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Last evening the perform
ances at the above theatre, consisting of " Norma, ' and
the last act of " Il Trovatore," were for the benefit of
Signor Tamberlik, who made his last appearance in Eng-
land (previous to his departure for Rio Janeiro) on the
present occasion. The celebrated tenor, who was in ex-
cellent voice, and performed throughout the evening
with even more than his usual energy and care, met with
constant applause, and of that marked and cordial king
which betokened friendly regard for the man no less
than admiration for the artist. Signor Tamberlik was
rapturously encored in the Trovacore's song, with hare,
accompaniment, which, as everybody knows, he
most delightfully, and at the termination of the perform
ances received the valedictory ovation to which hi 3 dis-
tinguished merits so fairly entitled him.

RUSSIA►.

A. letter from St. Petersburg of the 28th ult.
states that the project is mooted of converting into
permanent fortifications the defensive batteries
and field works erected last year on the north side
of the capital. The Government has sent officers
to Prussia to study the constitution and adminis-
tration of the army of its neighbour, and to report
particularly on the special arms of the service. The
Russian Government has ordered the irregular
troops in the Crimea to be disbanded. Major
Bartolomei has just been appointed attache to the
Russian embassy at Constantinople.
An official document emanating from the Rus-
sian Minister of Commerce gives some details re-
lative to the celebrated fair of Num-Novogorod
held in 1855. The war, having shut up a great
number of places, caused business to flow towards
the market of Nijni-Novogorod, where the total of
the transactions amounted to 63,784,T95 roubles. A
quantity of raw cotton, brought from Buckhara
and from Persia, figured amongst the merchandise
offered for sale, and appears likely to replace Ame-
rican cotton in the manufactories of the Levant
and of new Russia. The value of the tea sold
amounted to 5,659,500 roubles ; it was compose of
two sorts, that in leaves brought from Kiaehta,
Sempalathisk, and Tchougontchi,. and that made
up into flat cakes. The merchandise brought from
Buckhara and Khiva to the fair of 1855 amounted
to 934,500 roubles ; from Persia, Georgia, and
Armenia to 1,953,015 roubles. The merchants of
Khiva brought 67,000 ponds (the pond is about
33 2.31b5.) of raw cotton, and the Persians ones
nearly
18,500 ponds. The prices obtained for
every kind of merchandise were higher than at the
preceding fair.

THE UNITED STATES' MINISTER. —Mr. Dallas, in a
letter just received, says that the subject of the differ.
ences between England and the United States will be
fully discussed in Parliament. He is led to believe that
the di.eussion will not be devoid of acrimony towards
this country, but is prepared to bear it like a philo-
sopher. Ile mentions with particularity numerous nets
of marked courtesy extended to him, including those of
the members of the British Cabinet, and regards these
manifestations as expressive of a pacific disposition to-
wards this country.—Washington Correspondent of the
New York Herald.

PEACE MEETING.

A few days ago a meeting was convened and held in
one of the Yorkshire Liberal boroughs to consider as to
what steps should be adopted to commemorate the recent
peace, when it was determined that there shall be a pro-
cession of the mayor and corporation, preceded by a band
of music. It was suggested that the mayor, in lieu of
his robes and chain, should on the above occasion deco-
rate himself with black scarfs, the other members of the
corporation to appear with black hat-bands, and that
the only music should. be the "Dead March in Saul."
On the day of the above meeting the following placard
was posted throughout the borough :
" Men of England !—Rejoice that the mismanaged
war is ended, and protest against the pitiful treaty of
peace. Our plenipotentiary at Paris appears to have
given up many matters of real importance. By a stroke
of the pen, and without the consent of Parliament, he
has thrown away our maritime right to take the goods
of an enemy found in the vessel of a friend—a right and
law of nations which England has maintained from time
immemorial. Russia has paid nothing, and ceded none
of her vast cr stolen territories. She is again at liberty,
and intends to overrun and take Circassia, to make up
for her loss of Turkey. Will the day of rejoicing prove
one for regret ? What next ?"

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 28th ult.
states that the project is mooted of converting into
permanent fortifications the defensive batteries
and field works erected last year on the north side
of the capital. The Government has sent officers
to Prussia to study the constitution and adminis-
tration of the army of its neighbour, and to report
particularly on the special arms of the service. The
Russian Government has ordered the irregular
troops in the Crimea to be disbanded. Major
Bartolomei has just been appointed attach 6 to the
Russian embassy at Constantinople.
An official document emanating...from the Rus-
sian Minister of Commerce gives some details re-
lative to the celebrated fair of Nijni-Novogorod
held in 1855. The war, having shut up a great
number of places, caused business to flow towards
,khe market of Nijni-Novogorod, where the total of
th 9 transactions amounted to 63,784, T 95 roubles. A
quantity of raw cotton, brought from Buckhara
and front Persia, figured amongst the merchandise
offered for sale, and appears likely to replace Ame-
rican cotton in the manufactories of the Levant
and of new Russia. The value of the tea sold
5
amounted to ,659,500 roubles ; it was compose of
two sorts, that in leaves brought from Kiachta,
Sempalathisk, and Tchougoutchi, and that madeup into flat cakes. The merchandise brought from
Buckhara and Khiva to the fair of 1855 amounted
to 934,500 roubles ; from Persia, Georgia, and
Armenia to 1,953,015 roubles. The merchants of
Khiva brought 67,000 pouds (the poud is about
33 2.31b5.) of raw cotton, and the Persians ones
nearly 18,500 ponds. The prices obtained for
every kind of merchandise were higher than at the
preceding fair.

THE UNITED STATES' MINISTER. —Mr. Dallas, in a
letter just received, says that the subject of the differ-
ences between England and the United States will be
fully discussed in Parliament. He is led to believe that
the discussion will not be devoid of acrimony towards
tb:'s country, but is prepared to bear it like a philo-
sop,%er. He m'ntions with particularity numerous acts
of marked courtesy extended to him, including those of
the members of the British Cabinet, and regards these
manifestations as expressive of a pacific disposition to.
wards this country.—Washington Correspondent of the
New York ,Ker•add.

PRIVATE AND JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

The Bankers' Magazine furnishes the returns of circu-
lation of the private and joint-stock banks in England
and Wales for the four weeks ending the 12th of April,
IS5t3, and gives the following as the average weekly cir-
culation of those banks during the past month, viz.:—

Private banks

On comparing the above with the returns for the pro

PROVINCIAL NEIV,PAPER SOCIETY.

The 20th anniversary of this society was held yester;
clay at the London Tavern ; Mr. T. P. Austin in the
chair. After transacting the usual business, the mein-
hers pre-ent, including representatives from many of the
most influential country journals, dined together. The
Chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, "Suc-
cess to the Provincial Newspaper Society," dwelt upon
the beneficial results which had flowed from its exer-
tions. There was no member of the House of Commons
whom the society's delegates had waited upon with re-
ference to the repeal of the newspaper stamp who had
not listened to them with the greatest possible attention.
Unfortunately, the Government were too strongly
pledged to the Manchester party, the chief members of
which—Messrs. Bright, Colo•len, and Milner Gibson,
had found in a well-con lucted press a complete coun-
terpoise to their own influence, and hence the exertions
they had made to Americanise the English newspaper.
The repeal of the newspaper stamp bad, however, sig-
nally failed. The chief object was to ruin the Times,
but the Times was now as powerful and influential as
ever. The same might be said of one or two others of
Ihe London newspapers ; but the effect of the measure
had been to injure many old and respectable journals,
without in the least benefitting those who had attempted
to supersede them. During the first year after the re-
peal of the stamp no fewer than 130 cheap papers had
been started in the country, and he would venture to
say that not 30 of them were now in existence. It re-
quired many qualities to render a newspaper successful.
Mere money would not do it. It needed ability, tact,
principle, character. Ho was well acquainted with the
quarters from which many of the new speculations bad
proceeded, and be could state that the parties were.eti-
cient in the last-named most important prerequisite.
He trusted that more unity of action would be exhibited
by the newspaper proprietary of the kingdom ; for they
might depend upon it one newspaper could not perma•
nently prosper at the expense of the rest. The toast
was received with loud cheers. An elegant candela•
brum was presented to Mr. F. White, as a testimonial of
respect for bis exertions o 9 behalf of the society, more
especially in connection with the legislative enactment
of last session with regard to the newspaper press.

ROYAL CREAEORNE GARDENS.

Although this popular resort has been open to the
public since Easter, yet the amusements have necessarily
been on a very limited scale, as the lessee always reserves
his grand coup for the Whitsun holidays, when, in addi•
tion to the minor attractions, a grand vocal and ir►stru-
mental concert will be given, under the conductorship of
'Mons. Bosisio, who, during the recess, has devoted his
talent to the production of several new musical pieces,
and who will be supported by a very powerful band. A
new ballet will be presented, from the pen of R. K.
Philp, Esq., possessing very high claims to public ap-
probation on account of its comic incident, its great
scenic effect, and choreographic display. Its title is
" The Island of Roses ; or, War, Peace, and Plenty,"
and is to be worked out by performers of known merit.
In the circus, the Ducrow family will appear, whose
names are a sufficient guarantee for their excellence. In
the grounds will be found many important alterations,
improvements, and additions, which will be recognised as
dictated by good judgment, and calculated to increase
the enjoyment of the visitor. The panoramic represen-
tation of Berne, by Jones, and the re-embellishment of
the Triumphal Arch of last year, give proof of this. The
former possesses considerable merit, both for its truthful
portrayal and its illusive effects. A substantial Swiss
building,- to be used as refreshment room, and occupying
a portion of the base of the foreground, is so admirably
worked up by the artist, as, at the first glance, com-
pletely to deceive the eye. The arch is now intended
as an illustration of the advantages of peace rather than
of the triumphs to be secured by war. We made allu-
sion some time since to the commencement of a large
pavilion in the adjoining Ashburnham grounds, intended
for special fetes connected with charitable and educa-
tional associations. It is now finished, and will for the
present be occupied as an American flower garden of
great extent and beauty. The measurement of this build-
ing is 350 by 100 feet ; it is capable of holding 25,000
persons ; and has 160 beautifully decorated window! ;
and, after the removal of the flowers, will be made avail-
able for special galas.

TRACE MELTING.

A few days ago a meeting was convened and held in
one of the Yorkshire Liberal boroughs to consider as to
what steps should be adopted to commemorate the recent
peace, when it was determined that there shall be a pro-
cession of the mayor and corporation, preceded by a band
of music. It was suggested that the mayor, in lieu of
his robes and chain, should on the above occasion deco.
rate himself with black scarfs, the other members of the
corporation to appear with black bat-bands, and that
the only music should be Lhe "Dead March in Saul."
On the day of the above meeting the following placard
was posted throughout the borough :
" Men of England !—Rejoice that the mismanaged
war is ended, and protest against the pitiful treaty of
peace. Our plenipotentiary at Paris appears to have
given up many matters of real importance. By a stroke
of the pen, and without the consent of Parliament, he
has thrown away our maritime right to take the goods
of an enemy found in the vessel of a friend—a right and
law of nations which England has maintained from time
immemorial. Russia has paid nothing, and ceded none
of her vast or stolen territories. She is again at liberty,
and intends to -overrun and take Cireassia, to make up
for her loss of Turkey. Will the day of rejoic'ng prove
one for regret ? What next ?"

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Last evening the perform
ances at the above theatre, consisting of "Norma,'' and
the last act of " Il Trovatore," were for the benefit of
Signor Tamberlik, who made his last appearance in Eng-
land (previous to his departure for Rio Janeiro) on the
present occasion. The celebrated tenor, who was in ex-
cellent voice, and performed throughout the evening
with even more than his usual energy and care, met with
constant applause, and of that marked and cordial kind
which betokened friendly regard for the man no le,s
than admiration for the artist. Signor Tamberlik was
rapturously encoredin the Trovvtore's song, with harp
accompaniment, which, as everybody k.uowe, he .inks
most delightfully, and at the termination of the perfortn-
ances received the valedictory ovation to which his die-
tiuguithed merits ao fairly entitled him.
