GREECE.

Intelligence to the Bth inst. has been received from
Athene. _

-------
The Courrier d'Athencs has the following on the
assassination of M. KORFIOTAKIS, Minister of Public
Worship :
" This crime, committed on one of the servants of the
Crown, i❑ the midst of the capital, in addition to the
horror with which it must inspire every honest man,
must give rise to sad reflections on the part of those who
have often surrounded the King, in order to wrest from
him amnesties and pardons for criminals—some of whom
even have obtained rank in the army. This impunity, and
these fatal encouragements accorded to crime, begin to
yield the results which it was easy to foresee. When
criminals have powerful protectors, or the means of ob-
taining them, they consider crime, so to speak, as a game
of hazard, in which the chances arc on their side. If it be
true, as is generally said, that the hand which struck the
unfortunate Korfiotakis was that of a paid assassin, who
can foresee how far criminals will carry their audacity ?
The idea of this is enough to cause to tremble
every honest heart, every man sincerely devoted to the
throne and the country. It is our duty, however, to say
that the Queen, in her wisdom, has ordered that in this
case the action of justice shall follow its free course.
without the least regard for persons. This resolution
has been justly appreciated by the public, who hopes
that the time of pardons and amnesties has passed, and
that the Crown will henceforth resist the pressing
demands cf those men who pretended to be completely
devoted, but who make of their devotedness métier et
marchandise."

and the King of GREECE at Isehl, the former con•
ferred on the latter the order of the Golden Fleece.

ITALY.

The Croce di Savoia announces that it was re-
ported in certain politic la circles that the Government
had sent a stearrpr to Civita Vecchia with dispatches
recalling M. Pinelli from Rome.

A letter from Rome of the 10th inst., published by
the Constitutionnel, states that,—
" When M. Pinelli, the Sardinian Envoy, was on the
point of quitting Rome, he was informed that the Pope
consented to grant him an audience, without, however,
recognizing him in his official capacity. The reception
took place in presence of witnesses. M. Pinelli developed
and advocated before the Holy Father the principle in-
voked by M. d'Azeglio in all his diplomatic notes, that
is, the right of Piedmont to change her own laws, which,
as Sardinian subjects, the members of the clergy were
bound to obey. The Pontifical Government places the
question on another ground. It demands the execution
of treaties concluded by Piedmont with the Holy See,
and contends that the Sardinian Cabinet should have
commenced by applying to the Court of Rome, and made
the suppression of the ecclesiastical immunities the
object of a negotiation tending to modify the Concordat,
signed in April, and which guaranteed those immunities.
The Popo then told M. Pinelli that when Piedmont
should have liberated the Archbishop of Turin, 'and re-
established the status quo existing previously to the
promulgation of the Siccardi law, its government might
then, if it thought proper, open negotiations with the
Court of Rome to obtain modifications in that Concordat."

layers, servants of the company, lost their lives.

It appears that these men, with about forty of their
fellow-workmen, had just unloaded a train of ballast
trucks, which was on the down-line, and to allow the
engine and empty trucks to move on stepped aside, some
of them between the metals of the up-line, probably

men on the line he whistled loudly, and the guards and
firemen applied their br( aks; but the poor fellows evi-
dently became paraljnd, and before the train could be
stopped ten unfortunate creatures were run over and
killed on the spot. The engine of the ballast train was
blowing off its steam, which may perhaps have prevented
the men from hearing the approach of the passenger
train. A fog prevailed at the time.

stances

at that place on Sunday : —He went home from the
Sunday school to dinner, and, previous to the family sitting
down to table, he said grace. Mr. Nicholson, a local
preacher, came, and having prayed over a younger sister
who was dangerously ill, the junior members of the family
were given their dinner. Thomas Denham, a brother, told
the deceased's father that the deceased had been naughty at
school, on which the father said if he behaved badly again he
should not let him have any dinner. The deceased held his
knife and fork in his hand, but the filling of his plate being
rather delayed, he threw them down and rushed towards the
door, saying, " I will throw myself over the quay or the
cliff." His mother caught hold of him and dragged him in.
He, however, jumped through the window into the street,
running off in the direction of the Hoe. He there met his
brother, and desired him to hold his clothes, which he did.
Deceased then said, " Father would not give me any dinner,
and mother wouldn't; now I want none." With these words
he threw himself over the rocks, and before any assistance
could be rendered he was drowned.
