GREECE.

The payment of the interest of the two series of the new
Loan, and the annual sum appropriated to the redemption of
the principal, which are under the guarantee of the Three
Powers, require 1,500,000 drachms interest for the first two
series, and 300,000 for the Sinking Fund, making 1,800,000
drachms. This sum being deducted from the annual revenue,
there remains 4,763,620 drachms. Now, the budget of the
War Department alone amounts to 4.630,750 drachms, so that
the result is, that the revenue of the country is nearly ab-
sorbed by the payments for the National Debt and for the
Army. All the rest—the Civil List (924,000 drachms), the
Regency (331,500 drachms), and 300,824, (extraordinary ex-
penses for the same), the Fleet, the Home Department,
Justice, Schools, Finance Department, and extraordinary
expenses, must be provided by loans, and the State, which
is founded in Greece, though but little alteration has
been made in the interior of the country, though no claims
have been satisfied, though neither new roads, nor schools,
nor Courts of Justice, neither national army nor fleet have
been established, costs 14,187,215 drachms, that is more than
double the annual revenue of the country.
BERLIN, MARCH 28.—1 t is said that the King will not go
to Toplitz this year, but to some baths in Silesia. The
intended grand review makes this probable. The magnificent
castle of Furstanstein is already preparing for a great number
of distinguished guests, as it will be the head quarters and the
central point of the whole. It is supposed that a great
number of staff officers will be put on the retired list this
year, on the ground of economy. It is reported that the
long cherished wish of the provinces, to name a Prince
of the Royal Family resident in them will shortly be gratified.
Prince Frederick, now at Duseldorf, will be Governor-Gene-
ral of Pomerania, and be succeeded at Duseldorf by Prince
Albert, and Prince Charles will go to Prussia.—Frankfort
Papers, April 3.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK._

Although Ministers have resigned, the Funds remain steady.
This is an undoubted proof that the public and monied inte-
rest are of opinion, that the change of Ministers will put an
end to the turmoil which has existed of late in the House of
Commons, as well as to give peace and tranquillity to Ireland.
In the Foreign Market the prices also continue firm. Spa.
nisi' opened at 664- 4 ; Spanish Scrip, Eif pm ; Portuguese
Stock done at 97 ; it comes 2 per cent lower from Paris,
owing to the death of the Prince Augustus.
The dividends will be paid at the Bank this day, which will
cause money to be more plentiful.

The Marquis of Winchester (Groom of the Stole),
entertained large parties at dinner on Monday and Tuesday in
Cavendish-square. Among the company were the Marquis of
Douro, the Earl and Countess of Darlington and Lady Au-
gusta Poulett, Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, Lord
Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord Arthur Hill, Count de Gersdorff,
Saxon Minister, Captain and Miss Fergusson, &c. His Lord-
ship's annual banquet to the Lords of the Bedchamber in ho-
nour of his Majesty's birth-day, will be given on Thursday,
the 28th of May.

The dinner given by the Speaker on Saturday is
said to have been only an experimental banquet, for the pur-
pose of trying how the cuisinierie acted.
The Earl and Countess of Lonsdale and family are
expected in town to-morrow from their seat, Cottesmore,
Rutlandshire.

DEMISE OF THE COUNTESS OF BURLINGTON.
We regret to have the melancholy task to announce the
departure of this benevolent lady, who after a long and linger-
ing indisposition, died at Compton Place, Eastbourne, on
Tuesday morning. Her Ladyship was the celebrated Lady
Betty Compton, an heiress of vast wealth, who married Lord
George Cavendish (the late Earl of Burlington) nearly half
a century ago. By this event Burlington House, Piccadilly,
goes to the youngest son, the Hon. Charles Compton Caven-
dish, who also possesses Latimers, the favourite seat of Cardinal
Wolsey.
It is said that at Rufford Hall, the seat of the Earl
of Scarborough, large sums in gold have been found secreted
in bags in different places.
REFORM MEETING AT BRENTFORD.—Yester-
day afternoon a meeting of the friends of Reform was held in
the large room at the Red Lion Inn, Oid Brentford, Mr.
Churchwarden Allen in the chair, to take into consideration
the best means of forming an association for carrying the ob-
jects of the Reform Bill into full and beneficial effect. Reso-
lutions to the effect that
.an association, to be called " The
Brentford Reform Association," be immediately formed for the
above objects, and to obtain such further reforms in Church
and State as may be considered necessary for the public wel-
fare, were passed unanimously.
INCREASE OF THE VALUE OF PROPERTY IN
DUNDEE.—LittIe more than fifty years ago the house and
ground on the west side of Trades-lane, which belonged to
the late Mr. Milne, was purchased by him at 2501. That pro-
perty was sold on Wednesday to the trustees of the harbour
of Dundee at 2,sool.—Dundee Advertiser.
RIDICULOUS MISTAKE.—On Tuesday, in the
Crown Court at York, a female witness, one of the Society of
Friends, was called on to point out the prisoner against whom
her testimony was to be offered. The good lady complied by
pointing out one of the reporters connected with the news.
paper press, to the great amusement of the Court ; and
avowed herself ready to " affirm" that he was the criminal.—
Hull Observer.
ACCIDENT.—In consequence of the swollen state
of the Dee, and the large quantities of timber which were
floating down, four men tvere employed on Thursday last to
prevent the wood from striking against the banks. Between
two and three o'clock, while they were thus engaged, they were
suddenly thrown into the river, owing to the violence with
which several logs floated against them. Two of them made
a very narrow escape, but the other two were unfortunately
