AFFAIRS OF GREECE.

The Supplement of the Corfu Gazette of the 15th
contains the following dispatch from Count IsTEssm.-
RODE to M. PERSIAN!, the Russian Ambassador at
Athens :

"His Majesty the Emperor is much concerned at the
unsatisfactory accounts from Greece. and immediately
commissioned M. Von Brunnow to inform Lord Palmer-
ston of the unfavourable impression which the compul-
sory measures adopted towards the Greek marine had
produced upon the mind of his Majesty—m( asures
which may destroy the existing peace, and place the
kingdom created by the three Powers in great difficul-
ties. his Majesty hopes that the Government of Great
Britain will be disposed to settle this unpleasant affair
amicably, and has not the least doubt that by the friendly
intervention of France, it may already have been adjusted.
If, however, the intervention of France should lead to no
result, Russia is willing to undertake the settlement of
this unpleasant difference.
• " Count Von Neeselrode, in sending M. Persiani a
copy of his note to M. Von Brunnow, admonishes him,
at the same time, to give his best advice to the Greek
Government, in order that the matter may be speedily
settled.

" Count Nesselrode fully approres of the conduct of
M. Poraiani."

All severity which does not tend to increase good
or prevent evil is idle.— Eliza Cook's Journal.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Thursday evening a female
of respectable appearance, while walking in St. John-strept,
suddenly fell on the pavement. A surgeon was called to
her, who said life was extinct. She was removed to
Clerkenwell workhou.e Coppice-row. She had on a green
merino dress with white stripes and a victorine. She ap-
peared about fifty years of age, and wore a wig. There
were 9s. in her pocket, but no document to lead to her
identification.

NUTMEG PASTE.—An importation has recently
taken place from Rotterdam of a parcel of paste prepared
from nutmegs, for the purpose of mixing with soap, and
which, finding no description applicable thereto in the table
of duties, was declared as goods manufactured not otherwise
enumerated at the ad valorem duty of ten per cent., which
description was objected to by the officers of the revenue,
who considered it to be liable to duty, as an expressed and
essential oil, of one shilling per lb., which rate of duty has
- consideration of the matter, been directed to be charged,

AMERICA.—The new American-
IMPORTS V or k1.,0e docks,
upwards of 1,?00 tons
built litiezoPpackei ship _ trFrn New York, has
burden, which h .., as arrived inv
nrovisions and general
brought a very eAteirsite cargo of
nork, cheese, hops,
merchandise, including Imeotti beef, rice,
anti a ~:iriety of other
.
lard, apples, sugar, oil cake kit tattle,
articles. In addition to the interest attaching to an impor-
tation of nearly 20 bales of American hops en this ot,:asion,
the vessel brought nearly 100 hogsheads, pipes, and otter
casks of port wine, consigned to wine houses here, and to
order. This importation of 'vine, the produce of Portugal,
from the United States of America, is remarkable, and of
Nurse was not practicable previously to the relaxation of the
navigation-laws having taken place. Another feature in this
cargo is the importation of 11.0 barrels of flour, 112 barrels of
biscuits, 1t tierces of rice, two tierces of vinegar, five tierces
of oatmeal, and 5701b5. weight of tea, which are officially de-
clared to be etnigrants' stores for exportation is the same

will emigrate in the vessel to New York, instead of requiring
the supply of such articles from the bonded or other stores
in this country. _ _

SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN ALDBEHANBDHY.-011
Thursday, shortly after twelve o'clock, a serious accident hap-
pened in Aldermanbury to two persons, a man and a boy,
who were employed in repairing a house, and who are now
in St. Bartholowew's Hospital, in consequence of the in-
juries received. There is a scaffold in front of the building,
and, it being dinner time, they were both leaving their work.
The boy had got about half-way down the scaffold, when he
put his foot upon a piece of timber that was placed longi-
tudinally in the wall. This being loose, came away, the
effect of which was that he fell to the ground. The block of
timber struck the man on the head, when he was immediately
precipitated from the scaffold. They were instantly as-
sited up, and, being found to be seriously injured, were placed
upon shutters and conveyed by the workmen to St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital. After being attended by the house-surgeon
they were placed in bed in the accident ward.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 10 THREE.
The week's operations of the Bank of England to the
23d instant indicate no increased demand for accomoda-
tion. On the contrary, with an addition of 383,2781. to
the specie and notes unemployed, there is a marked de-
cline of active circulation, and some reduction in the
securities. The increased amount placed to the Go-
vernment credit will in part account, as heretofore, for
the quantity of notes thrown back .ufon the Bank.
The following are the results of a comparison with the
previous week :
