"The department which in Greece c.r`air,ly wants im-
portant reforms is that of the finances. The io thod for
levying the direct taxes is faulty. The Government is
preparing a law in this respect, which will shortly be
presented to the Chambers. The other sources of re-
venue are the Customs, fixed at 10 per cent. for im-

the result of careful study, advances the principle of
a gradual diminution until export dues are totally
abolished. Manufactured goods are already duty free.
Considering the immense difts•rence between annual

would be completely stripped. This would infal
libly have been the case if navigation hart not re-esta-

ports exceeded the exports by 12,000,000 drachmas.
This proves that Greece is still in want of of numerous
productions, chiefly manufactured goods, but, at the
same tune, it shows that the national activity finds a
cmapensation elsewhere. It is not the less true that the
public revenues increase with the increasing prosperity
of the country. Without going so far back as the Turkish
domination in 1833, the first year of the establishment
of Royalty in Greece, the public revenue amounted to
7,950,000 drachmas (the loan not considered). In 1840
it amounted to 16,000,000 drachmas. It then retrogra•

most prosperous countries, is not yet in proportion to the
territorial extent of Greece—not even to her population.
She needs a longer existence and uninterrupted efforts
supported by happy circumstances to give all the deve-
lopment that a requind.
" For the present a glance at the budget of Greece will
suffice to convince that the receipts will just cover the
indispensable expenses, leaving scarcely any,hing fir
works of public utility. The following is a brief analysis
of the budget of expenses of this year :

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings at Nisi Prins before L ,rd Campbell and Specia
Juries.)
CIILVERWELL V. SIDEBOTTM
Mr. Serjeant Sheeland Mr. Barnard appeared for the
plaintiff ; and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., Mr. Overend,
Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins, for the defendant.
The issue being on the defendant.
Mr. James stated to the jury that the plaintiff in the
action, Richard Culverwell, was a retired tailor, who had
formerly been in business in Marylebone-street, but who
now resided in the North-toad, Clapham. The defend.
ant, John Sidebottom, was a young man of respectable
family and position, a partner in the firm of Sidebottom
and Co , cotton manufacturers, at Manchester, and re-
siding at Harewood Lodge, Mottram, in the county of
Chester. The action was brought to recover the sum of
2,0001., which the plaintiff alleged was due to him upon
a bill of exchange,accepted by the defendant on the 15th
of June, 1852, at four years. The bill was drawn by a
person named James Atkins, the keeper of a gambling-
house called "the Berkeley," in Albemarle-street, and
by him endorsed to the plaintiff in the action. The de-
fence was that the bill in question was given to Atkins
for money lost at the game of hazard, at Atkins's gam-
bling-house, "the Berkeley," and that it was by him
endorsed to the plaintiff without consideration, and with
notice of the illegality.
The following witnesses were then called :
John Sidebottom, examined by Mr. Overend—l am
a partner in the firm of Sidebottom and Co., cotton
manufacturers at Manchester. I reside at Harewood
Lodge, Mottram, Cheshire. In 1846 or 1347 I came to
London. At that time I had an allowance from my
father. I was 27 or 28 years of age. I assisted my
father in his business near Manchester as general mana-
ger, and had an allowance of 3001. a-year. I came to
London on a visit, and a ter a few weeks I made the
acquaintance of James Atkins. I was taken to his
house by, I believe, a person named Hammond.
Atkins kept a gaming-house in Albemarle-street, called
" the Berkeley." I went there in the evening. The
game of hazard was going on, Atkins was acting as the
manager, and was sitting at the table near the bank.
There were two bankers, called croupiers. Atkins was
sitting at a small table in a corner of the room. He was
taking the general management of the place. They
almost always played with counters. The croupiers gave
out the counters. They gave money for them. The
croupiers asked Atkins if they were to give the counters,
and, if he consented, they gave counters in exchange for
0 ll's. On the first occasion I lost 8,0001. (Sensa-
tion.) I think it was in 1847. I think that was the
first night, but I might have been there once or twice
before. I went there two or three times a year. I think
this was in 1847. I made a visit to London in the fol-
lowing year, and on these visits I went to the " Berke•
ley." Atkins was manager on almost every occasion.
I went there down to 1852 or 1853. In all I played 12
or 14 times. I I..st from 25,0001. to 26,0001. I fancy
I have paid 15,0001. or 16,0001. to Atkins. These are
checks I gave to him for gaming transactions. This
I 0 U for 1,0001. was given to Atkins on the 9th of
June, 1847, at the play table for counters. All these
checks were given for counters to play with. Atkins
holds my bond for 4,0001., a warrant of attorney for
3,3001., and some other papers—l believe a bill. Sometimes
there were others beside me playing, and sometimes not.
This check for 1,0001. was for money lost at play down
to May 1855. The warrant of attorney was given in May
1856. I had been pressed for payment of bills. The bills
were given up in consideration of the warrant of attor-
ney. I was playing alone against the bank. I played
all night till next day. There was no champagne pro-
vided at the expense of the house. The waiter went
round to ask if you would have anything. There was
no consideration for any of these bills except the money
lost at play. I gave this bill (for 2,0001.) I suppose on the
15th of June, 1852. I have no doubt this is my genuine
signature. I don't know where it was given. It is ac-
cepted, payable at a banker's. I had no account there.
Atkins drew out the bill. I wrote, " Accepted • pay-
able at the London and Westminster Bank." I told
Atkins I did not like to make a bill of this kind payable
at my own banker's. I don't know whether Atkins
banked there. The bill was given either in exchange
for an I 0 U, given for counters, or for counters
themselves. It was given for money lost at play at
hazard at the " Berkeley." Mr. Atkins promised me
it should not be negotiated, but that it should be re-
newed, if I couldn't meet it.
Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Shee—l did not go
to any other gambling houses in London. I have been
to gambling houses at Doncaster and Newmatket, and
once at Manchester, but not at Liverpool. At Ches-
ter I have, but not at Paris. I had only an allowance
of 3001. when I went to the Berkeley. My father died
in 1849. He gave up the business to me in 1848. It
is still carried on by me. I have not made an assign-
ment of all my property to my mother, only the ma-
chinery, for 45,0001. I had only this action, and an•
other for 1,0001. bill of exchange. I never won much at
gambling. I don't recollect ever winning 100/. during
my life. I did not play roulette. I play whist and bil-
liards. I went into Leicestershire in 1850. I kept 10
bunters, sometimes more, and sometimes less. I had no
racehorses then. I have not lost much on the turf. I
don't recollect ever paying any bill to Mr. Culverwell. I
paid a bill of 1,0001. on the 18th of May, 1850 It was
drawn by Atkins. I can't recollect that on the 18th of
February, 1851, I gave another acceptance to Atkins
for 1,0001. A bill was renewed in 1851. I don't recol-
lect that Mr. Culverwell applied to me for the money.
I knew a person named Roberts. I did not play with
bun at billiards, and divide the prefite. I never bor-
rewed money from Atkins une•nr)ecte•l with hazard. I
suppose I received this check for 1,1601. from him.
Some other witnesses having been examined,
Mr. Serjeant Shee addressed the jury for the plaintiff.
Fle was re tdy t , admit that, after the evidence which
had been given, he could not contend that the bill in
question had not been given for a gaming consideration.
But he should call the plaintiff himself to show that,
however that might be, the plaintiff was quite ignorant
of the transaction, and that he had given bona fide con-
sideration for the bill.
The following witnesses were then called :-
Richard Culverwell, examined by Mr. Barnard—l was
a tailor in Marylebone-street, Portland-place, for nearly
thirty years. I retired in 1841. I was successful, and
made sufficient fortune to retire upon. I went to re-
side at Portsdown-terrace, Kilburn, and continued
there till the year 1852, when I went to live with
David Deacon at Kilburn. I have lived at CLpham
since March last. I have been in the habit of dis-
counting bill., both while in business and since to a
small amount—viz., about 6,0001. a-year. I became ac-
quainted with Jas. Atkins in 1844 or 1846. I made his
clothes. He paid me very well, and I considered him a
man on the turf. I did not know that he was con-
nected with any gaming-house. I had seen Davis who
has been examined to-day. He (Davis) has never seen
me with Atkins at any gaming-house. I have called on
Aitkius in St. James's-street to try on clothes. The
house was kept by Dud, the tailor, and Atkins lodged
there. I did not at that time know it was a gaming-
house. I never Few any gaming going on there. I
never went with Atkins to a house at the corner cif Alba-
marie-street, called the " Stick Shop." I never acted as
a " bonnet" at either of those houses or elsewhere.
Atkins never applied to me saying that the bank was
broken. I have discounted bills for Atkins. I never,
in the presence of Davi., lent money to Atkins for
gaming purposes. I do not know where Atkins is now.
He promised me he would attend as a witness in this
cause. Thai was on my application. I instructed my
attorney to procure his attendance. He told me yesterday
he could not find hire. In 1849 Atkins applied to me
to discount a bill accepted by the defendant. The amount
was 1,000/., at three months. I discounted the bill on
the 9th of November, 1849. Before I discounted the bill
I made inquiries. I was satisfied he was a responsible
man, and I di counted the bill. I gave 9001. for the bill.
The bill was about eight days old. I made no calcu-
culation, but I took 100 premium. This is my check
for 9001. The check was paid. The bill was pre•
rented by my bankers to the London and Westminster
Bank, where the bill was made payable, and the bill
came back to me noted. I wrote and seat a letter
to the defendant, requesting his attention to the
matter. Shortly atter I received a call from a gentle-
man, begging me to hold the bill for three months.
I did so. At the end of the three months I got the
1,0001., and 251. for the accommodation. In June, 1851,
Atkins brought me another bill, accepted by the defend-
ant. The amount was 1,000/ , at 12 months, but two
months had run. I discounted this bill. I gave 8301.,
by two cheques. These are the cheques. The day be-
fore the bill became due a gentleman called and paid it in
fuel. In December, 1854, Atkins applied to me to dis-
count this ted (the one on which the action was brought
--viz , for 4,000/., drawn on the 15th of June,lBs2, pay-
able in four years). I consented, and gave Atkin.; one
cheque for 880/., another for 6751.—t0tal 1,5551. The
one cheque wa given on the 11th ~f December, and the
other on the 15th of December. The cheques were duly
paid. Tile bill 'oaci 13 months to run. I took 15 per

it to have been stolen.
Thomas Goddard, a constable of the Tunbridge police,
said—From information I received I apprehended the
prisoners last night, at Riverhead, Sevenoaks. I found
them together in a public house called the Arnerst Arms.
I told the male prisoner that I wanted to have a little
conversation with him, as his conduct had been very
suspicious. I showed him the Times newspaper of the
24th inst., which refers to a person named Thomas Ed-
menu, having absconded from the employment of Mr.
Allred Jones, and which states that a warrant had been
issued for his apprehension. After a little while he told
me that he would satisfy me who he was if I took him
somewhere else, and be almost immediately added that
he would satisfy me before he left the room. He then un-
locked a little bag, and said " I am the man," and he
gave me another bag, which I produce, saying "There's
1901. in gold." He also gave me thirteen 51. Bank of
England notes, which are dated Oct. 11, 1856, and num-
-51,083 to 51,095 inclusive. I told him to produce what
property he had about his person, upon which he gave
me 71. 125., making a total of 2621. 12s. He said he was
sorry he bad robbed his employer, and he should plead
guilty to the charge. When he handed me the bank
notes the female prisoner gave me two 51. Bank of Eng-
land notes, numbered 51,099 and 51,100, of the same
date.
Mr. J. Fetch, clerk 9 the prosecutor, said—l received
by post the note prodwed on the 20th inst., which was
addressed to me by the male prisoner, and contained two
51. Bank of Eugland notes. He owed me more than 101.

exactly say where. I kept the 200/:in my house of er
kis death.
Mr. Metcalf—l don't think, sir, I need trouble you
with any defence after the statement made by this man.
You can clearly see through the case.
Mr. liurcham—Mr. Cutt is duly authorised and ap-
pointed trade assignee to the estate of an insolvent
named Sbap and, and he has traced that insolvent's pro-
perty to the pot-session of the prosecutor. As to the bill
of tale I hold in my hand it stinks of fraud.
Mr. Perry—What we say is this. Mr. Cutt has unlaw-
fully taken away property worth 60/., which my client is
entitled to under a bona fide bill of sale.
Mr. Burcham—Non,ense. Mr. Cutt is clearly the trade
assignee to the insolvent, and he has a right to protect
the creditors. If he had seized the property illegally
they had not a shadow of a right to give him in custody
for felony, but proceed against him by civil action. He
must be discharged from custody at once.
Mr. Metcalf—l have now to ask your worship for a
summons against Mr. G-adsby, for an assault on Mr.
Cutt, a ge Aleman of station and property, who had been
BO illegally locked up in a felons' cell.
Inspector Macintosh—Mr. Perry came to me at the
Bermondsey police-station, while I was on duty there,
and I told him to be cautious how he acted. After Mr.
Cat was locked up, I accepted bail immediately under
the circumstances.
Mr. Burcham to Mr. Metcalf—lf you apply for a sum-
mons I must hear some evidence before I can grant one.
Mr. Cutt was then sworn. He said I am trade assignee
to an insolvent named Shapland, and in the performance
of my duty I ascertained that property was in the pos-
session of Gadsby which ought to have been given up for
the benefit of the creditors. I applied for an order from
the Insolvent Court to seize them, and lodged the neces
sary affidavit in Court. The order was clusequently
made for me to seize them. On Saturday night I ace ird-
ingly went to Gadsby's premises with some men and two
police constables, to prevent a breach of the peace. On
Tuesday evening I was given into custody for felony
and locked up.
Mr. Metcalf—Who gave you into custody ?
Mr. Cutt—Mr. Perry' was there at the time, and he
advised to give me into custody.
Mr. Perry—Did you not go to Barclay's, and seize
one of ray client's vans ?
Mr. Cutt—Yes, because I was told one was there.

Yesterday, at 2 o'clock, the inquest, adjourned from
Saturday last, on the body of Thomas Cartwright Wor-
rell, charged with the commission of the murder of Geo.
Carter, at Erith, on Friday fortnight, under circum-
stances already related in this journal, was resumed and
concluded before Mr. C. J. Carttar, Coroner for West
Kent, and a jury, at Greenwich. The room in which
the inqu'ry was conducted was crowded throughout the
proceedings. The father, wife, and sister-in-law of
Worrell, the deceased, were present during some part
of the investigation, Mr. Freeman, solicitor, of Buck-
lerebury, was in attendance on behalf of the relatives
of the murdered man, Carter. Mr. Mallalieu, the chief
of the police eons!abutary of the district, through
whose ereat energy, tact, and experience the whole of
the evidence bearing upo❑ this barbarous murder has
been collected and sifted under circumstances of more
than ordinary difficulty, was also present and assisting
at the inquest.
The evidence given at the previous sitting, it will be
remembered, went to show that on the evening of Thurs-
day last Worrell, the deceased, was apprehended on
suspicion of being implicated in the murder of Carter,
and taken to the Greenwich police-station. He arrived
there about half-pait six in the evening, and on being
charged with the murder, be replied in a low, suppressed
voice----" Yes, I have been told so; but I am entirely
innocent of it." He was then searched in the usual way,
when 3 sovereigns and a-half, a gold watch and chain of
great value, two gold rings, two penknives, a pocket-
book, and Borne other things were found upon him. In
the pocketbook was a sealed letter, given in our impres-
sion of S.turdav, written and addressed by the prisoner
to his father, a master carpenter at Wandsworth, in
which, without giving any date or address, the prisoner
stated that the talk of Carter's murder had so preyed
upon his mind that be sometimes scarcely knew what he
was about—that a web had been worked round bim from
which he saw no means of escape—that, being unable to
live under the imputation of such a crime, he had re-
solved to end his days by his own hand, and called God
to witness that be was innocent of the murder. He was
placed in a cell at Greenwich in which was a juvenile
misdemeanant— a boy about 13 years of age. Atter the
letter had been read by the tuspector on duty at the
police station, in which the prisoner announced his in-
tention to commit suicide, additional precautions were
taken to frustrate that resolution, one of which was
a second search of his person, but in spite of all these
effort, and though he was visited every few rainutes in
hie cell by a police officer, he contrived a little after

"Mr. T. Edmence's compliments. This is not the pro-
duce of the robbery, believe me. I was obliged to fly."
I sent the notes, which are numbered 51,096 and 51,097,
together with the prisoner's note, to my employer.
Mr. E. M`lieone—, am cashier at Messrs. Glyn and
Co.'s banking-house. On the 20th inst., a cheque for
1,60 Cl 10s., drawn by O. Thompson upon our house,
was presented to me for payment. I paid the amount of
the cheque t w the person who presented it, and I believe
that person was the male prisoner, but I would not
swear to it. My attention was called to the cheque
within half-an-hour a:ter I paid it. I paid it in 20 Bank
of England notes for Si. each, numbered 51,083 to
51,100 inclusive, and dated 11th October, 1856, and
57,751 and 57,752, of the same date ; one Bank of Eng-
land note for 3001., numbered 72,340, dated 3d June,
1856, and 2171. 10s is gold.
Mr. Cole, cashier at Messrs. Martin and Co.'s banking
house, Lombard-street, said—On the 20th inst. I re-
ceived from the prisoner, on account of Mr. A. Jones,
who banks with our fires, 1,1331. 78 9d. That sam does
not comprise a cheque for 6171. 10s. upon Messr.. Glyn
and Co. There was a 3901. note in the sum, dated the
3d of June, 1856, and numbered 72,240.
Mr. A. Jones, the prosecutor, said—The prisoner was
in my service as clerk. On the 20th inst. I gave him
1,5101, 7s 9,1, with instructions to pay it to my account
at Messrs. Mar:in and Co.'s, my bankers. Amongst
other cheques was one upon Messrs. Glyn and Co. for
6161. 108, dram by Mr. Thompson. It was the duty of
the male prisoner to pay that cheque in with the others.
He had no authority from me to cash it. I have received
credit at my bankers for 1,1331. 7e 9d instead of 1,4501
17s 9d, showing a deficiency in the amount paid in of
3071. 10-s Ido not know the female prisoner.
The Lord Mayor (to Huggett, the detective officer
who has been in search of the male prisoner)—Hew did
the male prisoner get hold of his companion ?
Huggett—l ascertained that he picked her up in the
Waterloo-road, my lord, and they then started together
on a country trip.
The Lord Mayor said there was not sufficient evidence
to justify him in detaining Lyon, and she would be
discharged.
Edmence, who declined putting any questions to the
witnesses, or making any defence, was fully committed
to the Central Criminal Court for trial.
Josiah William Taylor, a smart-looking youth, of
aboat 16 years of age, till recently a clerk ira the service
of Mr. Chinery, a wine merchant and Custom-house
agent, carrying on business in Lower Thames-street, was
ebarged with embezzling money belonging to his master.
Mr. H. Johnson, clerk to the prosecutor, said—The
prisoner was formerly in the same employment, and had
been so for two years. He was authorised to receive
money from customers, and it was his duty to account
to me for the sums he received. On the morning of Fri.
day, the 10,h Oct., I gave him 31. 108., to enable him to
give change on his journey. I directed him to call at
Lady Grey's for 101. 108. 61., at the Marquis of Lans-
downe's for 1/. 103., dud at Mr. McGui►,nis's for 11/.
The prisoner received these three :utni of money and
absconded with them, together with the 3/. 108. that I
bad given him for change.
The prisoner was remanded for the production of
further evidence.

"It will be seen from the above expenses, wi•hout
which the Governmental machine would cease its func-
tions, and a reduction in which would be very difficult,
that they absorb nearly the whole of the little budget
of the State, leaving nothing for the expenses of
works of utility and progress. The Government, never-
theless, comprised in the budget for 1856 the sum of
454,000 drachmas for outlays of this nature, and hopes
to obtain it from economies or other articles.

" However, despite this not very satisfactory condi-
tion of her finances, Greece does not forget that she has
an ulterior debt. Her gratitude towards the Powers
which stood guarantees make it her duty to seek the
means to pay it without disowning the immense difficul-
ties she will have to overcome in the attempt. A loan
made at productive cost, and which, besides the interest,
leaves only a small profit, which may be applied as a
sinking fund, is a benefit to a country. It is far different
with a barren loan, which places a people under obliga-
tions it cannot fulfil. Such a loan wait contracted by
Greece. The President, Capo d'lstrias, asked Europe
to guarantee to Greece a loan of 60,000,000 f. to aid the
country to rise from its ruins and to develope its own
resources. His request was only gratified in 1832,
thanks to the Greek Regency, which still resided at
Munich. It was also the Regency which gave its con-
sent to the conditions of the loan and to the use to be
made of it.

Mr. Burcham—You had a right to go to Messrs.
Barclay's ; and most likely you were justified, under the
circumstances, in seizing that van. I shall grant a sum-
mons against Gadsby for the as-ault.
Mr. Metcalf—This is a very important case as regards
the mercantile community, and my client is determined
to proceed with it as far as the law will allow him. I
have not the least doubt, air, but that I shall be able to
prove a very impudent and glaring fraud upon Slim).
land's creditors.
The summons was accordingly granted.

one o'clock in the morning to terminate his life by a
potent dude of prusic acid, which he had secreted in two
small bottles, each about an inch long. At th• next round
of the policeman in charge, who had visited and seen him
alive only a few minutes before, he was found stretched
along a bench in his cell quite dead, and the little boy
with whom he was incarcerated lay in an opposite corner
fast asleep. During the several searches of the prisoner
his boots ha I bee❑ felt externally, but not taken off,
and the presumption is that he had concealed the poison
in them. The inqw-st was adjourned from Saturday to
admit of the production of evidence as to Worrell's state
of mind when he committed suicide.

GREAT SCULLERS' RACE BETWEEN KELLY

AND BUTTLE.

A" the sitting of the court yesterday Abraham Jacobs,
The cabman who drove Carter and Worrell from Batter-
sea to the London-bridge station on Friday, the 7th inst.,
the day en which the murder of Carter is supposed to
have been perpetrated, was called, and repeated the
evidence given by him on Monday last at the inquest on
Carter ; as did also Henry Archer, Thomas Muskett,
and Miss Ann Yexley, all of whose testimony was re-
ported in our impres-ion of Tuesday. Jacobs, the cab-
man, likewise identified the dead body as being that of
Worrell, whom he drove to the London-bridge station,
in company with Carter, on the Friday iu question. Dr.
D ,wning, who made the post mortem examination, and
Mr. Thomas 'ruse I, eta eist, Br. ,aciway, Deptford, who
analysed the contents of the stomach, clearly proved that
the deceased died from the effects of prosaic acid.
Charles Worrell, the father f the deceased, was re-
cal;ed, and sought to prove that his son was in his (wit-
eess'&,) house on a matter of business at 12 o'clock on the
Friday, tae time about which the cabman Jacob- swore
to have ,let his son, the deceased, and Carter down from
his cab at the L -4),km-bridge station ; but on the wit

his answers showed that he was by no means certain

paid him that init. Witness added that he eeld in his
own name tee lease of a house which in reality belonged
to his deceased son, and that, in consideration of that,
on the 13 li of Oct. last, he advanced his son 36/., and
four or five days subsequently 20/. more.
Mrs. Lydia Worrell, the wife of the deceased, was
next called. Her appearance as she was led to the table
in a condition almost pr strata with grief and debility
excited the c numiseration of ail present. She is a pretty,
ladylike young wcman, and was only married to the de
ceased, Thomas Cartwright Worrell, charged with the
murder and felo de se, in June last.
In answer to questions put by the Coroner she said—

NORWICH, WEDNESDAY.
The great contest between Kelly and Buttl,, was
finally settled to-day.
At the hour appointed, each man, accompanied
by his backers and friends, took their stations
and a capital start was effected. Both exerted them-
selves to the utmost. Kelly to maintain the well-
earned triumph he achieved in London, and Buttle to re-
gain the laurels he had lost when he was defeated by
Kelly in the late match on the Thames. For some
time it was a neck and neck race, and it was
difficult to perceive which of the man had the
greatest advantaze. At one time it was thought that
Buttle would ultimately prove the victor, from the cir
cumstance that he possessed a better knowledge of the
course than his London opponent, but as both
men neared the winning point the superiority of
Kelly gradually became apparent. Bottle struggled
manfully throughout the whole of the distance,
but he was compelled to succumb to the superior
prowess ofr Kelly, who won the match by about three
boats' lengths.
At the termination of the contest the victory Kelly
had secured was loudly cheered by his friends, and the
long-disputed question of the invincibility of Bottle's
prowess was set at rest. etoatrhs:er

" Art. 5 designates the difference of the total of the
budgets of war during the presence of the Bavarian
army in Greece, and after its departure. Tne prestige of
royalty, the love with which the King was surrouded
since the moment of his arrival in Greece, rendered the
service and expense of that army almost useless, awl the
sudden dissolution of the irregular corps which it brought
exposed the country to the scourge of brigandage, and
to the expenses of snppressing, it.
" Greece, therefore, really only received of drachmas
6,193,722 66, and from this sum, employed in great part
in the somewhat lavish expenditure of the first installs.
Con of the Regency, Greece is under the obligation of
payirg the interest of 67,000,000 drachmas.
" However, she will spare no sacrifice, to honour the
obligation, which it will depend upon the generosity tit
the guaranteeing Powers to render as I.ttle onerous
as possible. It would doubtless be conformable to their
benevolent views that s.ll that she esti ave by a prudent
'care from her preset 4 t, to 3ePli,d
rial ameliorations which will enable her worthily to re-
spond to their expectations. But it is not for her, it is
for the Powers to decide, in their benevolent solicitude,
how far they will extend the ancessions which may be
necessary not to make her existence impossible,and
to
enable her to develooe her resources and well-being.
" FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
"Durin. the
three parties troubles
of the War of Independence spran
up in Giesce, and have continued to
divide it even aftergcalm was restored. The men at the
head of each attributed to themselves exclusive sympa-
thies, which they turned
to
account for each of the
benevolent Powers, and
endeavoured to support them-
selves upon the respective lgations to enter office. The

produced
in the public mind by the events of 1854 has also settled
down, and has made place for the desire to increase
much as possible the internal welfare. The Greeks are
as
now perfectly aware of what Europe expects froth them.
They know that their present prosperity as well as their
hopes for the future, depends upon their prurlsee, and
moderation, and upon their efforts to advance rapidly in
the path of material progress. There does not exiAthere-

Greece to give umbrage to the Powers, and to prevent
them from entertaining those benevolent sentiments ts.

Above the clash of private interests stands the throne,
which has onlygeneral interests in view. It is surrounded
by the love and by the prayers of the whole nation.
" But to succeed in its great mission it must be sup-
ported by the unanimous protection of the great Powers.
The antagonism of one of them would suffice to para-
lyse the most persevering efforts. The best t-bing the
great Powers can do ftds the welfare of Greece is to
strengthen the Royal authority, to enable it the better to
do good without consideration of personal interests that
might be opposed to it. " RANGABE."

BOW-STREET.—George Harvey, a waiter at the Re-
form C.ub, was brought before Mr. Henry charged with
stealing two sovereigns, the property of Charles Park
Wick, the superintendent of the coffee-room.
The prosecutor stated that having frequently missed
money, and never being able to discover the thief, that
morning he put in a drawer, in his room, twelve sove-
reigns, half a sovereign, had a guinea, and some silver,
and left the di awer locked. The sovereigns were
marked. He left his room, and returned in about a
quarter of an hour, when he missed two of the marked
sovereigns. Having been informed that the prisoner
had been in his room in the meanwhile, he sent
for him to the steward's office, and at the same tiree
had a constable fetched. Four sovereigns were found on
him, of which two were marked. One of these witness
identified as one of those missed that morning, and the
other as one which he had marked last week, and which
was (.611 stolen.
Henry Tibbin, house-porter at the Reform Club, was
present when Mr. Wick marked the money. He after-
wards saw the prisoner enter the room, and while he
was there, heard the chink of money—gold, he believed.
He gave information to Mr. Wick, and then went to
prisoner's room and fetched him to the steward's room
to be searched.
Policeman C 114 searched the prisoner and found on
him the money produced and a bunch of thirteen keys.
Mr. Henry—Lid you try if either of them fitted Mr.
Wick's drawer ?
The constable admitted that it did not occur to him.
Mr. Henry—You ought to have tried them. You
will have to do so.
The prisoner sad he was perfectly innocent. He only
went into the superintendent's room to brush his hair,
as there was no glass in his own room. He had bad
one of the sovereigns for more than a month, and had no
doubt he had received the sovereign in change from Mr.
Wick. It might be' asked bow he could be honestly
possessed of so much money, being only a waiter at
251. a year ; but he had made money by betting on
horses, and sometimes had considerably larger sums.
He said he bore a good character, and was deeply hurt
that such a charge should be brought against him.
Mr, Wick said the prisoner had no bu-iness in his
room to comb his hair or for any other purpo,e.
Mr. Henry reminded him for further examination, di-
recting tee constable to try the kap in the meanwhile,
and also to search the prisoner's lodgings.
John Worcester, an elderly man of gentlemanly ap-
pearance, was charged with being drunk and annoying
an omnibus driver named John Ware.
The complainant said that at about half-past 7 on the
previous evening he was leaving Hungerford-market with
his omnibus, fur Camden Town, when defendant hailed
him. He refused to let Mr. Worcester get up, as he was
not sober, and he (witness) considered that inside he
would be an annoyance to the other pa,sengers, and ti at
outside he would be in danger of falling off Defendan,,
however, persisted in climbing up and taking his seat vu
the box in spite of him, afterwards snatching the reins
from his hands and endeavouring to get possession of
the whip. Witness recovered the reins, pulled up, and
refused to go any further with defendant on the box.
With some difficulty the conductor,assisted by the time-
keeper, got the defendant down, when he made another
attempt to mount the box, aid getting hold of witness's
legs pulled him off the seat.
Ware expressed great
unwillingness to press the case.
This evidence was confirmed by the time-keeper.
Mr. Worcester, in defence, admitted that he was not

two or three races within a few seasons ; and the other
