GREECE.

Athens journals of the 28th ult. have tn ived.
They do not confirm the news received by .Trieste of
the-dissolution of the Chamber of Representatives, in
' consequence of a severe check received by the
Ministry in the discussion on the elections ; but we
End, by the report of the proceedings in the Chamber,
that the Ministry had received more
.than one check,
and that a dissolution was probable. As the news
from Trieste gave no date for the dissolution, we-can-
not conclude from the journals that it has not taken
place. The Courrier c r Athenes gives a gloomy ac-
count of the internal condition of Greece. According
to this journal, most of the provinces are overrun by
brigands, who carry on their depredations almost with
impunity. The same journal has the following on the
prolonged absence of King Otho :
" Urged by the independent press and public opinion,
the Ministry has at length broken silence on the pro-
longation of the absence of the King. The Week, a
semi-official journal, says:—' The King has been obliged
to remain at Munich beyond the time which he had him-
self fixed, on account of very important negotiations
respecting tho most grave interests of Greece, and
particularly the prompt and complete execution of article
40 of the Constitution. His Majesty will return to Greece
as soon as he shall have brought to a termination what in
his high wisdom he has undertaken in favour of the nation.'
On the other hand, it appears by the last news from
.Munich that the King has decided on prolonging con-
siderably his stay in that capital. As to the question of
the succession, we are assured that it has been agreed
that if the Queen of Bavaria, who is now pregnant, shall
have a male child, he is to be baptized according to the
rights of the Greek Church as soon as he shall have
been recognised as the successor to the throne, conform-
ably with Art. 39 of the Constitution."
We read in the Courrier of Athens— ,
" A disgraceful scene took place on Sunday,
.23d,
in the house of Mr. King, a Protestant minister.
This gentleman, who is anl American subject, has
been in the habit of preaching every Sunday at a
fixed hour in the Greek language, on which occa-
sion the entrance to his house is always open to the
Public. Hitherto not more than a dozen young persons
have been in the habit of attending, but on Sunday last
upwards of 50 presented themselves at the moment
when Mr. King, in alluding to the crime of Cain,
pointed out the disastrous results of religions
divisions. Suddenly one of his auditors, inter-
rupting
Mr. King, expressed a wish to put sun-
dry questions to
him. M. r. King mildly replied that,
it the questions referred immediately to the subject on
which he was then speaking, he would answer them i
immediately ; but that, t such was not the case, he
would defer the discussion to another day. On this
the interrupter I demanded an immediate solution •
some of the persons present supported him, while
others opposed him, and such a terrific noise ensued that
Mr. King, thinking himself in danger, left the pulpit,
protesting against the violence used against him, and
hoisted the American flag on his hous. The crowd
then left, uttering loud murmurs, but without com-
mitting any act of hostility."
