THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

The announcement that Mr. Gladstone will pro-
ceed to the lonian Islands in order to investigate
the political condition of that dependency of the
British Crown is pretty generally remarked upon by
the continental journals. What new events, it is
asked, have cecurred obliging the Fesence of a spe-
cial envoy at Corfu? I will give you the best infor-
mation I can obtain on the subject. Some ten years
ago, or a little more, a constitution was accorded to
the lonians, in order that they might not be in a less
free condition that their brothers of continental

Greece. This constitution placed the government
of the domestic affairs of the lonians in their own

bands in the form of a Parliament elected by uni-

versal suffrage. When the constitution was pro-
mulgated there was much rejoicing, and the lonians
thought themselves better off than if they received
their sovereign authority from Athens. The Par-
liamentary Government was conducted with more or
less success until the Queen of Greece and the

Greek Government, inspired by Russia, revived a
sentiment for Greek nationality, and this about the
time when Russia advanced into the Danubian

Principalities. Agents left Athens for Candia and
the lonian Islands, to excite the Greek population

to join in a proposed war on Turkish or British
ground—wherever, in fact, the population was by
religion and language Greek. To such an extent
was this feeling universal that it was feared the
whole of the Greek population of the East would
eventually be engaged in invading Turkish ground,
backed by King Otho and what was understood to
be the patriotism of the classical Hellenes. France
and England then at war with Russia, were not
slow to discover what Power was exciting the
Greek Court to create a diversion, and it became a

question whether the treason of King Otho (or rather
the Queen) should not be punished by depriving
him of his throne. At all events it was necessary to

send an army to Greece in order' to prevent the
Greeks from revolutionising the,„Turkish frontiers
and Candia and the lonian Islands. An Anglo-

French force, as all the worldknows, was encamped
many months near Athens, and eventually retired
without even obliging a change of Ministry. The
Athenian Court and Government was put on its
good behaviour, and England and France satisfied
with promises tobehave better in the future. From
that day the real patriotic party in Greece, who
looked to England as the mother and guardian of
their modern freedom, became the persecuted vic-
tims of the Court, and gradually the Chambers
and Senate of the Greek nation have lost all go-
verning influence and power. These retrospec-
tive events must be recorded in order to under-
stand the sedition of the lonian Parliament.
There are some hundred men of the lonian Parlia-
ment, generally poor, and open to foreign intrigue,
who have been taught to believe that England, the
country which made modern Greece, is the enemy of
" a universal Greek nationality and independence."
These men have, more particularly since the Russian
war, employed their time in denouncing British
authority, and abusing England and the English in
the lonian journals, thus creating hatred towards
her'Majesty's authority, and rendering civil rule
almost impossible. I will now tell you what I be-
lieve to be one of the main secret causes of this
rebellious action. The President of the lonian
Chambers, Count Roma, Gen. Metaxa, and M.
Michael Sontzo, are all said to be employed by
Russia, through the Greek Government, to revive
what is called the patriotism of the lonian Greeks.
The means employed are perhaps known to her
Majesty's agents.at Corfu; and from such sources,
if I am correctly informed, this discontent of the
Parliament is fed. Mr. Gladstone is a man of the
most severe integrity ; conscientious to a fault,
patient, investigating, and slow to arrive at conclu-
sions. When he gets to Corfu all these qualities
will be employed to ascertain if the lonians have
any real grievances. He will probably at length
find that the Home Government has given the
lonians material for a freedom and prosperity far
greater than that possessed by any other group of
the classical family whose ancient glory has lately
received so graceful a tribute from his oven accom-
plished mind. He will perhaps further ascertain
that foreign agency, working on ignorance and in-
digence, has deprived the people of the advantages
which their late political freedom might have
bestowed. .On the other hand, if those who know
the character and condition of the lonians inform
me correctly, there is a party, and that composed
of the most respectable portion of the inhabitants,
who are more alive to their real interests, and
discover under the mild authority of the British
Crown more guarantees for freedom and prosperity
than could be hoped for if they were ruled from
Athens. Around the Acropolis they find a Court
deNo:ed to Russia, and a constitutional government
as silent and lifeless as the classic marble which
strews the land where he buried those patriots who
but a few years ago fought for the freedom which
the Bavarian King has slowly followed out with
intrigue, and made an empty mockery. If such
prove a correct picture of the political scene which
awaits Mr. Gladstone, it will be found necessary to
revise the constitution, and place the administration
of affairs in the hands of a restricted and wiser
assembly. Instead of going to the lonian Islands,
perhaps Mr. Gladstone would have found the evils
he seeks to unmask more readily at St. Petersburg
and Athens.--Paris Correspondent of the Morning
Post.

THE HIGHEST RAILWAY IN THE
WORLD.

The Pabellon and Chanarcillo extension of the-
Copiapo Railway in Chili is so far advanced that a
trial trip has :been made on twelve miles, by Mr.
Jaggert, the superintendent of locomotives. The
engines, with a pressure of 1001bs. to the inch,
easily moved round curves of 500 feet radius, and
surmounted inclines some of which have a gradient
of 170 to 324 feet in the mile, and atlength reached
the terminus, which is at an elevation of 4,075 feet
above the level of the sea—a less height, of course,
than that to which Trevethick worked the sta-
tionary engine in Pasco, but said to be 1,000 feet
higher than any other locomotive has reached.
Doubtless the great engineer, when traversing the
Andes, contemplated the day when the locomotive
engine which he had invented—and George Stephen-
son was then studying in England—would be em-
ployed to pass the gorges of the Cordillera, where
the llama is now the only beast of burden. We
know that Trevethick did contemplate the apioli
cation of the railway on this coast, and proposed,
soon after his return, a railway to work some
of the rich copper deposits of Atacama—a result
which is now realised. The value of the railway
for crossing the snow-bound passes of the Andes,
and uniting the coasts with the verdant plains and
pampas of the inland, can scarcely be estimated,
and it will be the greatest means for making profit-
able the resources of the rich desert of Atacama.
The Copiapo Railway is the only one in the world
that has paid quarterly dividends, and other rail-
ways are in progress, or projected to work the
Coquimbo, Huasco, and Chanarcillo districts
in Chili. It is said that the summit level
of the Copiapo extension is higher than
the- only one in the world—that of the Great
Indian Peninsular Railway for traversing the
Western Ghauts. The Bore Ghaut incline is
one of the grandest works in the world. The sum-
mit of the Seemmering Pass, on the Vienna and
Trieste Railway—the highest in Europe—is about
3,000 feet above the level of the sea. The highest
summit in North America is the p_ass of the Blue
Mountains; terthe Baltimore mid—Ohi6 Railway,
about 2,700 feet high. As the Valparaiso and San-
tiago Railway- only crosses the Cordilleras de la
Cuesta, it does not reach the elevation of the
Copiapo Railway. The elevation of 4,075 feet is
not, however, the topmost height 'of the Copiapo
Railway, for when the extension is completed
two miles further, it will have reached 4,479
feet above the level of the Pacific. Some of the
extension lines from Rio Janeiro cross the Sierra
dos Orgaes, and in time they will reach the moun-
tain regions of Minas Goraes, but at present the
Copiapo Railway has the claim of being the highest
railway in the South American continent. The
opening of this line is not a mere curiosity, but it
is a useful example for the promotion of other
undertakings. Thus, for instance, in Chili itself it
will encourage the prosecution of the grand line
projected to unite Santiago and Valparaiso with
Buenos Ayres, by way of Rosario, and of which part
of the system is completed, or in progress, and
the rest surveyed. • It promises likewise the
continuation of the railway system of the Brazils,
from the coast to the inner feeders of the Amazon
and the Plata. It is likewise a fact in favour of
the many railways which are projected, and will
be executed, from the Atlantic shore to California,
traversing the Rocky Mountains, from Halifax to
English Columbia. These summit levels teach
engineers greater daring ; and the Alps, Cordilleras,
and Ghauts, even the mighty Himalaya itself, -will
no longer be considered bounds to the railwiil
system. The summit of the Northern Bengal
Railway at Darjeeling is as high as that of the
Copiapo Railway.—Building News.

M. Coste, so well known in connexion with the
artificial breeding of fish, went a few days ago to the coast
near Brest to examine the experiments made under hie
direction for the breeding of oysters. He found that the
experiments have succeeded beyond expectation; some of
the fascines which had been thrown down some time Lek
were, when raised, literally covered with little oysters, and
the whole coast to Granville and Cancale is, so to speak. ein"
bedded with them. The fishermen, having thought th!
success of M. Coste impossible, were quite astonished. One
of the fascines covered with oysters was carried away to D 0
shown to the Emperor, his Majesty taking great interest ill
the experiments.

The market for Public Securities continues very
rn, but the members are chiefly occupied with the
liquidation of the account, which is progressing in
a satisfactory manner. The few transactions
entered into for the D ecember account indicate in-
crcased confidence among the speculators, who have
ne doubt been encourawed by the arrivals of gold
and the check that has been given to the drain
fr°lll the Bank. Consols have risen to 988 I for
money, and to 98141 for December. The New Threes

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1858.

THR LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

The annual ceremony of swearing in the Lord
Mayor was performed this morning in the Court of
Exchequer, at Westminster, with great eclat.
With the break of day the good citizens were astir,
and as the morning progressed, men in splendid
liveries began. to flit between the Mansion-house
and GuildhalL A little after nine the bannermen,
watermen, and other subordinates, arrived, and
shortly afterwards the City marshals made their
appearance, and began to enter with spirit into the
important duties of the day. The " show," as it
has been for ages called, was this day shorn of
many of its former attractions : we had no
"knights, mounted and armed cap-a-pie, attended
by their respective squires, bearing banners." No
allegorical devices formed a place in the procession,
which consisted chiefly of the principal officials
connected by their office to the Corporation of
London, the aldermen of the different wards, bands
of music, a military escort, and a host of banners.
The weather was propitious, and, unlike many
of his predecessors in office, the Right Hon. David
Williams Wire commenced his civic reign on as
fine a November day as ever attended even Royalty
itself.

At half-past eleven o'clock the excitement in
front of Guildhall became unusual. City Marshals
galloped to and fro to the great horror of the
pedestrians, who, between the dangerous process
of unfurling the banners and several other little
unpleasantries, had no very easy time of it.
Shortly after twelve o'clock, everything being
announced in readiness, the procession started in
the following order

EX PARTE VERO, IN RE VERO-BANKRUPT PETITION BY

ORDER.

The procession passed along Gresham-street, down
Coleman-street, via London-Wall, to Moorgate-street,
thence by Princes-street to the Mansion-house, along
King William-street to the statue of that monarch, along
Cannon-street and Cannon-street West to St. Paul's-
churchyard, Ludgate-hill, Fleet-street, Temple-bar, by the
Strand to Charing-cross, and thence to Westminster. On
arriving at the Hall the Lord Mayor quitted his state
carriage, and, accompanied by long train of officials, pro-
ceeded to the Court of Exchequer, where the oaths were
administered in the usual form.

Alter his Lordship had taken the oath, the judges who
had assisted in the ceremony were invited to the civic
banquet, and a similar invitation was given to all the judges
in the other courts of law.

The Lord Mayor then returned to his carriage, and
proceeded to the Guildhall.
Throughout the whole line of procession the new Lord
Mayor was received in a very cordial manner.

This is an appeal from a decision of one of the Registrars
of the Birmingham District Court of Bankruptcy, holding
that certain fees were payable to the chief registrar, under
the 4th section of the provisions of the Bankruptcy Law
Consolidation Act. The order was made, and the arrange-
ment was also made in terms of the Act, under the direc-
tions of the Court. The arrangement was to pay 7s. 6d.
in the pound upon the debts due within one month from
the confirmation of the arrangement ; and that in the mean-
time the assets should vest in the official assignee—but on
payment of the composition referred to, the debtor was to
have a re-investing order, in the same manner as if the
vesting order in favour of the official assignee had not taken
place.
The Registrar held that in this state of circumstances the
54th section of the act apptied. That section of the act
provides that the estate, under such an arrangement, shall
vest in the official assignee, and that the Registrar shall be
paid his fees.

Mr. De Gex, for the petitioner, contended, in support of
the appeal, that the subsequent part of the act and the 54th
section referred to contemplated the absolute vesting and
complete realisation of the estate, and not a provisional
vesting, such as here, and this was shown by
the words of the act—" gross produce," which could not
apply to this case, where there was no realisation.
The Lord Chancellor, at the conclusion of Mr. De Gex's
argument, and without calling upon the respondent's
counsel for a reply, delivered judgment. His lordship said
that it was clear that the Act contemplated the payment of
fees to the Registrar when the assistance of the Court was
taken in carrying into effect such an arrangement. His
lordship referred to the 4th section, the 218th section, and
222 d section of the Act, and in particular the 54th section,
in support of his opinion.
His Lordship said that the bankrupt might have entered
into such an arrangement without the intervention of the
Court in carrying it into operation, and the Court would
have sanctioned it, and he would not have been liable to pay
any fees, but where the arrangement is carried out with
the assistance of the Court, the chief registrar is entitled to
his fees whether the estate is realised or not.

His lordship dismissed the petition, but without costs, as
it was a fair case to be tried. His lordship said he wished
he could have relieved the petitioner from payment of the
fees, but it was impossible to do so under the act.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THIS DAI'S SHIPPING.

DARING Suor ROBBERY.—Two women, named Ellen
Harrigan and Ellen Jones, were charged with the following
robbery :--
Mr. John Luffington, draper, of 13, Tottenham-court-
road, said that on the previous evening, while lighting lip,
a lad came and informed him that the prisoner had stolen
three skirts, and gone into Russell-street. He went after
the prisoners, and came up with them, and just before doing
so observed Jones throw them over into an area. He im-
mediately seized her, when she struck, kicked, and tried to
bite him, and used her utmost endeavours to get away. A
gentleman came to his assistance and secured the other pri-
soner. A large mob immediately gathered, and tried to
rescue the prisoner Jones, but a constable fortunately
coming up, she was taken into custody.
Harrigan said the constable was mistaken. It was some
one else who had stolen the things. She knew nothing of
them—it was all a falsehood.

A constable said he believed one of the prisoners had been
in custody before, and ho thought, if they were remanded,
something could be known of her.

settle it at once.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A SEAMAN.—Four aban-
doned women, named Macdougall, Kirby, Smith, and
Downey, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with
assaulting and plundering a seaman, named Frederick
Bowles,

It appeared, from the evidence that the prosecutor, a re-
spectable, well-conducted young man, is about t 6 Sall'
on a long voyage, and was yesterday afternoon in search of
two of his shipmates. He was directed to a house in Elbow-
lane, and it is probable, if he had known the very infamous
character of the place, he would never have entered it. He
saw the prisoners in a room below, and they said his ship-
mates were upstairs. He went upstairs and could see nothing
of them. He was anxious to leave the house immediately,
and the prisoners would not allow him to do so, and de-
manded money and liquor. He refused to give them either.
After being detained an hour he attempted to leave the
house, and the prisoner Macdougall, a masculine woman,
struck him a •tremendous blow with her clenched fist be-
tween the two eyes, and, to use his own phrase, " his face
was immediately smothered in blood." The other women
in the house set upon him like furies, beat and kicked the
poor fellow, and stripped him of his coat, waistcoat, and
cap. They also tore his shirt and ill-used him in a scan-
dalous manner, accompanying their bad usage with
the most horrible language and threats. He
managed, after a desperate struggle, to leave
the house, almost naked, and made his way towards
the police-station. He was met by Police-sergeant
Cox, 45 K, and he was then bleeding profusely. The pri-
soners were soon in custody of the police. Smith and Kirby
were found in a pawnbroker's shop, pawning the sailor's
overcoat, and were at once apprehended. Downey, whose
real name is believed to be Harrington, and Macdougall,
said the sailor's waistcoat was at a "leaving-shop," but it
was discovered at the shop of a pawnbroker in Ratcliff-
highway. The sailor's cap was found concealed in the
house in Elbow-street. All the prisoners had been in cus-
tody several times, and were most desperate characters.
The sailor could not identify Downey.
Mr. Yardley said, as the sailor was about to sail, he
should dispose of this case summarily. He fined Macdougall
£5, or two months' imprisonment, for the assault ; and sen-
tenced Kirby and Smith to one month's imprisonment for
illegally pawning ; Downey was discharged.
