HAMBURGH MAIL.

FROM THE ISAR (BAVALIA), MARCIIT.-It is said
by well-informed persons that it will depend on the re-
sult of the mission of Prince Wallerstein whether King
Otho remains on the throne of Greece or not. It is
wished in many quarters that the young Monarch, who
has undergone so many trials, may lay down the purple
and return to his own legal county. In that case, it is
true that many millions, which, through King Otho,
have flowed into Greece, will have been spent in vain ;
for, considering the notorious poverty of the Greek
State, an indemnity is quite out of the question. Further
accounts from Athens are anxiously expected.
In consequence of the present state of affairs in Greece
the King has positively given up his intention of going to
Rome in about a fortnight from this time.
STUTGARD, MARCH 7.—His Majesty the King has
had a more tranquil night, less frequently disturbed by
cough ; in other respects there is an improvement, only
the fever has not much abated.

BERLIN, MARCH 7.—His Highness the Duke of
Brunswick arrived here on the sth, and lodges in the
Royal palace, in the apartments prepared for him.
Unless altered circumstances and direct obstacles in-
tervene, her Majesty the Queen of England, accompa-
nied by her Consort, will arrive at Berlin on the 15th of
May. But a wish is said to have been expressed in Lon-
don that the visit, like that to Louis Philippe, may be
considered as a friendly meeting, without any political
manifestation, as well in the Royal palace as in the hotel
of the Earl of Westmoreland, who now occupies
the splendid residence of the late Minister,
Von Altenstein. Preparations are making for
the reception of the august guests. It is ardently
desired that the opera house may be ready by that
time, but this seems to be impossible. It is said that
the Emperor of Russia will pay his compliments to the
Queen of Great Britain before he goes to Vienna.
Thp Queen on her return, will pass a few days on the
banks of the Rhine.

It is reported here that the first stone of the building
for the Order of the Swan will be laid this year, and
that Queen Victoria will honour the ceremony with
her presence.

SiIITGARD, MARCH B.—The King has had a pretty
good night, and is better to-day. The fever has abated.

Hmuiiuumt, MARCH 12,--:The Borsenhalle of this
evening has no account of the King of Sweden.
The Stockholm Mail, of the sth of March, had arrived,
but no extracts are given from it.

THE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con-
stantly announced for promoting the growth of, or for repro-
ducing the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very
limited period; whilst " Rowland's Macassar Oil," with a
reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es-
timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention
for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair,
are too well known and appreciated to need much comment.
The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it
enjoys, its general use in , all countries, together with nu-
merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au-
thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all
attempts of a similar nature. Being universally preferred,
its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of un-
principled shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious trash as
the "genuine" Macassar Oil: whereas the genuine article is
wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son,
and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materals (imported
solely by them), renders abortive any attempt to discover its
component parts—thus proving the imposition of all other
articles bearing the title of " Macassar Oil." The genuine
article has the words " Rowland's Macassar Oil" on the
wrapper.—All others are fraudulent counterfeits!
On the evening of Friday last, a violent thunder
storm swept across various parts of Pembrokeshire. The
lightning was exceedingly strong, and was very speedily
followed by terrible bursts of thunder. During the raging
of the storm, the electric fluid entered a cottage in the parish
of Brawdy, near Solva, and instantaneously destroyed tw•
females who were in the house.— Cambrian.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, March 15.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in the absence of the Lord
Chancellor, took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'Clock.
YORK AND SCARBOROUGH RAILWAY.
Earl FITZWILLIAM presented a petition, very
numerously signed by the inhabitants of Scarborough,
against the contemplated line of railway from York to
that place. He thought the prayer of this petition
ought to receive the serious attention of their Lordships,
and also that it behoved the Government, when a line
of railway was proposed to a particular place, that they
should have a right to determine whether such a line
was required or not. He thought it was not too late
for the Government to take some step in this subject,
and he hoped, therefore, they would not fail to do so.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said he would mention
the subject in the proper quarter, anl he had no doubt
that proper inquiry would be made.
THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. MARSH.
Lord CAMPBELL, referring to the case of the Rev.
Mr. Marsh, said the Right Rev. Prelate opposite (the
Bishop of Peterborough) the other night had stated that.
the reason he did not interfere in this case was, that the
offence was not committed in his diocese, and conse-
quently he was not empowered by the Church Discipline
Act to interfere. He (Lord Campbell) had referred to
the Act of Parliament, and he discovered that it was
provided, that the Bishop of any diocese in which any
offence had been committed by a clergyman, should have
the power, if he pleased, of referring the case at once
to the Court of Arches.

The Bishop of PETERBOROUGH thanked the
Noble and Learned Lord fur having set him right
upon this subject. The Noble and Learned Lord
had stated truly that he (the Bishop of Peterbo-
rough) had said that he did not interfere in this
case on account of the offence having been committed
out of his diocese. The principal reason, however,
was the question of time. The offence was corn-
mitted four years ago. It must be admitted
that he had shown the disposition to investigate the
circumstance. He was informed that the offence was
committed during the period •of about a fortnight four
years ago. This was all he had heard, and he cer-
tainly did not feel a disposition to proceed harshly
against Mr. Marsh, considering that at the parsonage
house an excellent mother was living, who, was in such
a delicate state of health that any agitation might have
been fatal to her. It must be borne in mind, however,
that at the time he mad 6 his inquiries, the facts which
came out on the trial were not revealed to him.
This person was paid 8001. or 900/. a year, while the duty
was discharged by a curate for 1001. per anrum. Such
cases as those now before the House were of rare occur-
rence, as was proved by the universal surprise which
they excited in the public mind when they occur ; for if
they were of common occurrence, the universal aston.
ishment expressed at the late scandal would not
have been so strong or so general. He could assure their
Lordships that the prelates of the Established Church of
England took the deepest and most painful interest in all
the matters connected with the purity and discipline of
that Church, and were determined strongly and empha-
tically to denounce everything which should bring
scandal on its members. With respect to the ordination
of the members, he could also state that the greatest
care was taken to examine the character and qualifications
of all the candidates for the clerieal office.

Lord LILFORD rose, but from the low and indistinct
tone of voice in which he spoke, and from turning his
back to the Reporters' gallery, we could hardly hear one
word he said. .We understood him to say that their
Lordships must be perfectly satisfied with the explana-
tion of the Right Rev, Prelate.
The matter then dropped.
A message from the House of Commons brought up
the Consolidated Fund Bill and the Three-and-a• Half
per Cents. (1818) Bill, which were read a first time.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, March 15.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour.
Mr. F. MACKENZIE moved that it be an instruction
to the Committee of Selection to refer the Edinburgh
and Glasgow ; the Slamannan ; and Edinburgh, Leith,
and Newhaven Railway Bills to the same Committee.
The Haltwhistle Inclosure, and the Glosset Market
Bills were read a second time.

SOUTH-EASTERN AND HASTINGS RAILWAY.
On the motion that the South-Eastern and Hastings
Railway Bill be read a second time, being put,
Mr. HOPE, with much emphasis, rose for the purpose of
moving that it be read that day six months. He thought
the House would but badly consult their own dignity, if
they allowed this Bill to occupy their time any further.
It was concocted for the purpose of serving the private
interests of some gentlemen at Rye. He, therefore, with-
out hesitation, moved that the Bill be read a second time
that day six months.
Mr. CURTEIS supported the second reading of the
Bill, and contended that all the transactions of the par-
ties supporting it had been open and fair. Ho would not
go into details, but he called upon the House not to
sanction an imaginary, line when two fair competing
lines were prepared to go into Committee, and be
judged by their respective merits.
Mr. ELPHINSTONE requested the Hon. Member
to withdraw the motion ; he thought the House was no
place to enter into the merits of the respective lines.
Mr. DARBY said that where there were two com-
peting lines, the public were likely to suffer between
them. He was willing that the Bill shoud be discussed
in the ComMittee.

The amendment was withdrawn, and the BM was read
a second time.

RIBBLE NAVIGATION.
Mr. WILSON PATTEN brought up the Report of
the Committee on the Ribble Navigation Bill.
WILLS IMPROVEMENT BILL.
Sir W. HEATIICOTE brought up the Report on the
Wills Improvement Bill.
BIRMINGHAM CANAL NAVIGATION BILL.
Mr. GREENE brought up the Report of the Com-
mittee on the Birmingham Canal Navigation Bill.
Mr. H. HINDE presented a petition in favour of the
Hartlepool Dock Bill.
Mr. HARDY presented a petition against the Scar-
borough and Leeds Raillya),

DUELLING.
Captain POLHILL gave notice that, on the motion
of the Hon. Member for Truro (Mr. Turner), to intro-
duce a Bill for the abolition of duelling, he would move
as an amendment, " That it is the opinion of this House
that it is inexpedient to interfere with the existing law,
which is already sufficiently stringent on the subject of
duelling."
