LEVANT` MAIL.

By the Levant Mail we have received Constanti-
ncple journals to the 4th, and Athens journals to the
Bth inst., both inclusively. They are destitute of
news of importance. The Courriere d'Athenes in-
forms us that brigandage shall continue in Greece,
but not to the same extent as previously, and that the
Bank of Athens has provisionally withdrawn its 50
drachmas notes from circulation, in consequence of
several successful forgeries. There is nothing in the
Jotrnal de Constantinople to confirm the statement
from Vienna of the American frigate Mississippi
having left Constantinople without KOSSUTII and his
companions.
The Malta Times of the 9th announces the death
of Mr. JAMES RICHARDSoN, the African traveller.

were sentenced, Whicher to ten years' transportation, and
Seward to one year' imprisonment with hard labour. A re-
port of the trial up to the hour we went to press appeared in
The Sun of yesterday.
THE LONDON AND BLACKWALL EXTENSION.—
The directors of this company are having extensive cellars
and " shoots " erected by the side of their line near the
Chalk-road, Islington, for the purposes of their largo and in-
creasing coal trade. By this means great facilities will be
given to the coal trade of the Thames, as well as to the
Claycross coals, which are brought to London by the London

DISTRESSING SUICIDE Or A CLERGYMAN.--A gloom
has been cast over the neighbourhood of Louth, Lincolnshire,
by the suicide of the Rev. J. C. Umpleby, rector of Yar-
borough, near that town. The deceased left his house about
ten o'clock on the forenoon of the 11th inst., taking with
him a double-barrelled gun. Not returning for some time,
and the gun being missed from the closet in which it was
usually kept, a search was instituted by his rehtives and
domestics, and the rev. gentleman was round by his groom
in a shrubbery adj,tining the garden. lying quite dead, having
shot himself through the head. Deceased had been in a
desponding state of mind for some time past, but it had not
bee,) considered necessary to watch his movements. An in-
quest was held on the body before Mr. F. F. Goe, coroner,
and a verdict of " Temporary Insanity returned.

SIR JOHN FRANYLIN AND THB CLAIRVOYANT.—
The Edinburgh Advertiser calls attention to a singular cir-
cumstance connected with the search for Sir John Franklin :
—On the 17th of February last a clairvoyant, whose revela-
tions are given in Dr. Gregory's late work, stated that
Captain Austin was at that moment in longitude 95 deg. 45
min., west—which corresponds exactly with the actual posi-
tion of the place where he is now found to have passed the
winter. According to her statement, Sir John Franklin
was at the same time in lon. 101 deg. 45 min., or about four
hundred miles to the westward; he had been previously met
and relieved, and a third ship Ras then frozen up along with
his two.

DIVING EXTRAORDINARY.—A Montreal paper, in
its account of the recent lake accident, by which nineteen
persons were drowned, adds—" The steamer Prince of
\Vales has gone Anon for the bodies, but has not yet re-
tunted."
