GREECE.

In consequence of the friendly relations which
now exist between the court of Greece and the
Russian Government, the latter has decided on
accrediting an envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary to Athens, instead of the Charge
d'Affaires whom it has hitherto bad there. M. Be-
row, Councillor of State, has been nominated to
the post. M. de Persiani is named envoy extraor-
dinary at Hanover and Oldenburg, in the room of
M. de Fonton, who is to represent Russia at the
Germanic Diet.

A letter from Alexandria of the 24th ult. states
that intelligence has been received there of the
death of King Theodore, who not long since pro-
claimed himself independent in the districts to the
south of Egypt. He is said to have succumbed to
an attack of cholera.

A letter from Genoa of the 2d says :—" The
Russian squadron is increasing here. After the
Polkan came the Wiborg, bearing the flag of Vice-
Admiral Behren. The arrival of the Polkan caused
considerable agitation in this city for several days,
typhus fever having broken out very violently on
board ber."

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 6,

The screw steamship Emeu, Moodie cymmander,
from New York on the 25th, has arrived with ad-
vices to the 24th ult. and $263,319 in specie on
freight. The United States Mail steam-ship
Atlantic, hence, arrived at New York on the 23d
ult. The advices are entirely devoid of general
interest.

In the New York market money was easy with
rates in favour of the borrower on good security,
being 8 to 8i per cent, for prime 60 to 90 days' bills,
84 to 9 for four and six months bills, and 9 to 10
for longer dates : and good single names second-
class paper, not exceeding four months, passed
readily at about 12 per cent.
In exchange nothing done.
Cotton had maintained a hardening tendency,
although freights had advanced, and the receipts at
the ports continued large and Lad advanced one
quarter of a cent. The America and the Atlantic's
advices were calculated to sustain the buoyancy of
the market for a period. In State and Western
flour, compared with the previous Tuesday, a de-
cline of five cents had taken place, but the busi-
ness had been light.
The snow having prevented arrivals, Canada
flour, with light stocks, had advanced five to ten
cents ; Southern flour in favour of the buyers.
The stock in store large for the season.
Rye flour in firm request at full prices. Corn
meal without important change. Prime wheat, in
consequence of the ice, about two cents better, but
the business was restricted, from it being impossible
to execute foreign orders. Rye, in reduced supply,
held at one dollar without sales. Cotton dull, and
stocks inaccessible. Oats about one cent better,
with a good demand. Pork unchanged. Beef in
increased demand, and an advance of 25 to 50 cents.
had been obtained for most kinds, the supply
being moderate and receipts trifling. Prime mess
in good request and firm. Beef hams in small
supply, and well held, but meats better, with a
good demand. Bacon firm, with a good demand.
Dressed hogs more plenty, and declined three-
eighths per cent., with a brisk business. Butter
selling freely, cheese firm. Turpentine held firmly
at $4 ; common resin held firmly at full prices ;
white resin in request, at $3 25c. to $5, and a few
at $6 ; tar quiet ; Scotch pig iron in rather better
supply, but the market firm, and full prices realised.
Bars very quiet.
Freights firm, but dull, on account of the small
supply of available tonnage.
To Liverpool—Flour, 2s. 3d. to 2s. ; corn
in bulk, 7d. ; cotton 5-16 d. to to dLondon
flour, 3s.

NEW ORLEANS, JAN. 22.

50c. Other articles un changed.
CHARLESTON, JAN. 22.
The cotton market closed at a decline of ie. to lc.

The Canadian Company's screw steamship North
America, Grange commander, arrived this morning
from Portland, with dates from that port to the
24th, and Now York and Boston to the 23d ult.
She had 30 passengers, but no specie.
The Royal Mail steamship Persia, hence, arrived
at New York on the 24th ult.
In the Senate, upon the bill granting aid to the
Atlantic Telegraph Company having been taken
up, Mr. Pugh moved as a proviso that no money
should be paid under the authority of the act until
a convention should have been concluded between
the United States and Britain, whereby such por-
tions of the British possessions in North America as
con mind the western terminus of the telegraph
should have been subjected to the principle of neu-
tralisation as adopted in the Central American
treaty of 1850. He said he would not vote a cent
until the safety and the lives of the people of the
United States, perilled by the exclusive use of the
line by the British Government in war time, were
secured. Mr. Benjamin rebuked Mr. Pugh, and
asked if the matter was of such importance to
Great Britain Was it not extraordinary that she
proposed to them a full and equal participation in
the control and benefit of the line, and consented
to allow their Government and citizens equal pri-
vileges with herself and citizens for the mere sum
named ? He said, if they rejected the offer they
