GREECE.

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

The Courrier d' Athenes has the following on the
assassination of M. Koartorams, Minister of Public
Worship:—
" This crime, committed on one of the servants of the
Crown, in the midst of the capital, ia addition to the
horror with which it must inspire every honest man,
must give rise to sad reflections on the part of those who
Lave often surrounded the King, in order to wrest frcm
him amnesties and pardons for criminals—some of vhom
even have obtained rank in the army. This impunity, and
these fetal encouragements accorded to crime, begin to
yield the results which it wan easy to f :resce. When
criminals have powerful Prot-ctors, or the means of ob-
tairdng them, they consider crime, so to speak, as a game
of hezard, in which the chances are on their side. If it be
true, as is generally said, that the baud which struck the
unfortunate Kortiotakis 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 cease,
without the least regard fur persons. This resolution
has been justly appreciated by the public, who hopes
that the time cf pardons and amnesties has passed, and
'hat the Crown will* henceforth resist the pressing
demands of those men who pretended to be completely
devoted, but who make of their devotedness maier et
marchandise."

At the last interview of the Emperor of AUSTRIA
and the King of GREECE at Ischl, the former con•
ilrred on the latter the order of the Golda' Fleece.

ITALY.

The Croce di Savoia announces that it was re-
p:-,rted in certain political circles that the Government
had sent a steamer to Civita Vecchia with dispatches
recalling M. Pinelli from Rome.
A letter from Rome of the 10th inst., published by
the Constitutionncl, 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
hcucd to obey. The Pontifical Government places the
question on another ground. I; demands the execution
c.f 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 Pope then told M. Pinelli that when Piedmont
shoul I 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."

IRELAND.

ter.._. - a .......,

The Mail of this evening announces the death of
the Right Rev. Dr. Stopford, Lord Bishop of
Meath.

This melancholy event took place suddenly last
night, at ten o'clock, at Ardbraccan, his Lordship's
residence, in the county Meath.

The deceased prelate was elevated from the arch-
deaconry of Armagh to the see of Meath during the
viceroyalty of Earl de Grey.

Dr. Stopford had been long labouring 'under the
effects of disease of the heart, but had recently, con-
sidering his time of life, been in the enjoyment of
tolerable health.

lli3 Lordship was a member of the Privy Counci
in Ireland.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

TEN LIVES LOST.

A very melancholy occurrtnce took place this morn.
ing, about half a mile eastward of the Brentwood
station, on the Colchester line, by which ten plate-
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 stopped aside, some
of them betwe&n the metals of the up-line, probably
forgetting that the first up passenger train was at that
moment due. This train arrived quite punctual to its
time. The moment that the engine driver perceived the
men on the line he whistled loudly, and the guards and
firemen applied their br, ales; but the pour fellows evi-
dently became paralysed, 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.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SIIICIDE.—AD inquest
13 years of age, who committed sui-
cidesingular and distressing circum-
stanceswas held at Plymouth beim Mr. J. Edmonds, on a boy,
namedun
dJeorh nthDtfollowing
at that place on Sunday : —He went home from the
'4unday 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 Lis
knife and fork in his hand, but the filling of his plate being
rather delayed, be 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.
Ile, however, jumped through the window into the street,
running oft' 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.

Lord Clifden left Gowran Castle for Englamd on
Sunday last. His Lordship is expected to return shortly to
his ancestral mansion.

Lady Dover and the llon. Misses Ellice Agar left
Gowran Castle on Monday, for the Lakes of Killarney. Her
Ladyship's return is not expected sooner than a week or ten
days, as it is said she intends visiting Mount Shannon, the
seat of Lord Clare, and Lismore Castle, where the Duke of
Devonshire has recently arrived.
ARRIVAL OF THE EARL AND COUNTESS OF DARN-
LEY.—GRAVESEND, Sm.'''. 17. Yesterday afternoon the
Noble Earl, whose nuptials with the Lady Harriet Pelham,
e!dtst daughter of the Earl of Chlchester, were recently an-
nounced, arrived at his ancestral seat, Cobham Hall, accom-
panied by his lovely bride, on which occasion the neighbour-
ing gentry and tenantry assembled. on horseback to greet
the happy pair. The waive assembled at Thong, where a
grand triumphal arch had been erected, and preceded the
carriage to the hall, passing under a second triumphal arch
at the entrance of Le Park. On arriving at the hall the
horsemen opened their ranks, and the carriage containing the
noble bride and bridegroom passed between them, when, on
alighting, nine hearty cheers were given, and his Lordship,
with the untess leaning on his arm, expressed his gratifi-
cation at the reception given to him.
Sr. JAIJEs's PARK.—Yesterday two new entrances
were opened into the enclosure, one from the North Mall,
nearly opposite Sutberland Holm', and the other into Bird.
cage-walk. The old Pimlico gate is entirely closed. In the
course of a few days the passage of pwlestrians in front of
Buckingham Palace will be stopped, and the thoroughfare
through the enclosure be kept open in lieu of it night
and day.

The steamer Tay is announced as having arrived at
Southampton. Her letters have net yet been received,
and she has no mail from the Pacific. The ne w arrange-
ment of the mulls is not yet fairly in operation, but there
will obviously be deficiencies to supply in the communi-
cation, and certain places must be better cared for.
Branoh steamers probably would meet the case.
We have been furnished by Mr. W. P. Robertson
with the follewing extract of a letter from Don Ramon
Olarte, r ceived by the Mexican packet:—
" Mexico, August 13, 1850.
"`Oa tee of yc urs of the 9th ult., Is,waited on the
Minister of Finance (Mr. Payno), who net only appears
to be sviifie 1 with all you have done, but proposes
writing. to yourself. He thinks there can be no object
in sending out Mr. Falconnett, who, on his arrival, will
find the arrangement of the debt concluded on
our own basis. He says that, even if by
some fortuitous event, it should be pending,
he could not recognize in the new commis-
sioner any new and superfluous mission. Mr.
Payno is willing to accede to the proposition cf the
committee to dismiss the agent here, as resolved by
them; but the Government having no employtts that can
take charge exclusively of the complicated details in
correspondence and accounts of such a business, the Pre-
sident of the Republic has named myself' ad interim, the
agent ant factor of the bondholders. Whether ratified
or not by the committee, this nomination honours me,
because it was unsolicited, and shows that the Ministry
reposes confidence in me.
"'Things, my dear Sir, have now, de facto, advanced
too fist to leave the remotest ground fur a retrograde
movement. Mr. Falconeett, arrive when he may, will
have nothing to do in the business. Congress have just
met, the report of the committee will be immediately
discussed, and, from the steps which I have taken, from
what I have heard, and from all that I have observed, I
am certain the report will be adopted.
(Signed) 'RAMON OLLUTE:
" It will have been seen by one of yesterday morn-
ing's papers, that Colonel Facio amply confirms the state-
ments of Mr. Olarte, on the authority of Mr. Payno
himself, and I trust it may not be too much to say, that
the continued and zealous exertions both of Mr. Olarte
and myself i i Mexico are about to be crowned by the
success which I always anticipated would result from
the good faith with which, from beginning to end, I
have found the Government there inclined to treat the
important negotiation.
" I am, Sir, your most ohr dient servant,
" WILLIAM PARISH ROBERTSON."

The bondholders may feel somewhat annoyed at the
prospect of M. Falconnett not being recognised as their
colamis,ioner, although the feeling would be greatly
modified by the intelligence that the arrangement pro-
posed by the Government had been carried through the
Congress. As to Don Ramon Olarte being accepted as
the agent of the bondholders, there is, from all we hear,
not the least chance of such a thing. Pd. Falconnett is
known and trusted, and a great expense is already in-
curred which cannot be lightly foregone.
At the Bank of England meeting of proprietors to-
day, Mr. Parry de Winton's motion was unanimously
rejected, as it was presumed to amount to a vote of cen-
sure on the directors. A dividend of 31 per cent. was
agreed to free of income-tax, the warrants to be ready
by the 11th of October. A sum of about 27,0001. is
added to the "rest" over and above 3,000,0001, and the
Governor announced that the directors would divide the
excess above the latter sum whenever they could pay en
extra half per cent.

!BANK OF ENG LAN 1./—(THIS DAY.)
.e !el- s early Geserel Genet of tie proer:ctoT
and sieeteholdsrs of Berk took place to-day in
the Cour t-room of the Beni:, fer the purpose of con-
zideriog of a dividend and on the other [aisle.: ss of
the court. It was also one of the quarterly general
courts appointed by the charter.
11. J. PRESCOTT, Eicp, the Governor of the Bank,
accompanied by Thomson Haelsey, Deputy
Governer, and several of the directors entered the
court at twelve o'clock.
The :SECRETARY having read the advertisement
calling the court and the minutes of the last meeting,
The GOVERNOR said he had now to ac quaint the
court that this was one of the half-yearly courts for
the consideration of a dividend, and also one of the
quarterly general courts appointed by the charter,
and he had further to state that the nett profits for
the half-year ending the 21st of August last amounted
to 535,342/. It would enable the directors to make the
usual dividend three-and-a- half per cent., without any
deduction on account of income-tax, leaving 25,991/.
to be added to the rest, which would make
the rest 3,027,309/. The Court of Directors,
under these circumstances, proposed to make
a dividend of 3i per cent. far the half-year
ending the 31st of August last, without any
deduction on account of income-tax. That being the
case he would move that the court should order a
dividend to be paid of 3 per cent. for the half-year
ending the 31st of August last.
Mr. FIELDER had been in hopes that the directors
would have proposed a dividend of 4 per cent. for the
last half-year, and felt greatly disappointed that such
had not been the case. They had at the present mo-
ment a capital of no less than 14,000,0001., besides
the buildings and a rest of 3,000,000/. and upwards,
and under these circumstances he thought the di-
rectors might safely propose a dividend of at least 4
per cent.; if they did so they would give satisfaction
to every one.
The GOVERNOR thought it was generally under-
stood that it had been agreed that the rest should be
continued at 3,000,0001., and as many of the pro-
prietors who were present at that arrangement were
out of town, he did not think it would he right in
their absence to disturb that arrangement, or again
discuss the question so soon. The directors did not
' contemplate adding materially to the rest, and when
so much was added to it as would enable the direc-
tors to give an additional per cent., that additional
per cent. would be proposed. It must be apparent
to the proprietors that the directors could not have
proposed an additional per cent. without interfering
with the rest of 3,000,0001. to the extent of upwards
of 50,000/.
Mr. GREY greatly approved of the conduct
of the directors, and was of opinion that if
the course proposed by the Hon. Proprietor were
adopted Bank Stock would always he in a state of
fluctuation.
The GOVERNOR observed, that as there appeared to
be no amendment he would put the question to the
vote.
The motion was then put, and declared by the Go-
vernor to be carried unanimously.
Mr. DE WINTON considered that the Bank did not
give sufficient accommodation to the manufacturing
and agricultural interests of the community, and
stated that in his opinion they ought to afford
greater facilities for discounting paper to the trading
and agricultural classes, by which means the general
interests of the country would be greatly promoted,
and the profits of the Bank considerably increased.
They had at the present moment no less than 11,000,0001.
of unemployed capital, and yet they refused to
discount good paper because they adhered to an anti-
quated and useless system. They should look to
Scotland, where a superior and more profitable sys-
tem of banking was carried out, and let them imitate
the example of the people of that country, who were
the best educated and the most excellent men of busi-
ness in the world. tln that country, land which would
not fetch fourteen shillings an acre in Wales, fetched
there a rent of from 1/. to 31. an acre, and
that because the bank there advanced money upon
cash credits. Locking at these facts, he felt com-
pelled to propose the following motion :—" That the
Court of Proprietors are of opinion that if one-third
of the 11,000,0001. of unemployed capital was em-
ployed, the dividend would not have been less than 4
per cent. for the half year."
The GOVERNOR felt bound to say "a few words in
defence of the course pursued by the directors. He
considered that it would not be a wise, judicious, or
sound system of banking to advance deposits paid
into the Bank, and which they might at any time be
called upon to repay, cn leases gad secu•
rities of a similar nature, or to discount
bills over the counter if they were not
presented by parties regularly introduced to the
directors. He trusted after this explanation the
Court would place confidence in their directors, and
at once dismiss the proposition of the lion. Pro-
prietor. For that purpose, as he looked upon the
amendment as a truism, he would move the previous
question.
Mr. CLARKE seconded the motion, and trusted it
would be carried, as the motion of the Honourable
Proprietor, if carried, would be looked upon as a vote
of censure on the directors.
The motion of Mr. de Winton was then put and
negatived, and the previous question was declared to
be carried.
On the motion of Mr. FIELDER, seconded by
one of the PROPRIETORS, a vote of thanks was unani-
mously carried to the Governor, Deputy-Governer,
and the Directors of the Bank, and,
The GOVERNOR, in returning thanks, announced
that the divident warrants would be issued on and
after the 11th of October.
The Court then adjourned.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF A POLICE•CONSTABLE IN
THE SERPENTINE—Yesterday morning, a few minutes after
five o'clock, as Charles Winnett, one of the boatmen of the
Royal Humane Society, was passing along the north bank of
the Serpentine River, to go to his duty, he discovered a man's
hat lying on the bank, close to the bridge, with the name
of John Bennett written on the inside. He procured the
drags from the Receiving-house, and searched the spot, and
he succeeded in finding the body of a man, about forty years
of age, in eight feet water, about eight yards from the shore.
In taking the body out of the water a woollen scarf was
found twisted tightly several times round the neck, and evi-
dently with the intention of causing strangulation, as he was
quite black in the face. The annexed copy of a letter was
found in his coat pocket, addressed to John Bennett, 39,
Eastbourne-terrace, Hyde-park :—" My dear sister,--I write
this to you, for lam distracted, mad. I have been treated
with great cruelty, and cannot support it any longer. God
bless you all is the last wish I have. (Signed) E. WILCOX."
On inquiring at the above address, it was ascertained that
deceased, who is the brother of Mrs. Bennett, was a police-
constable in the N, or Islington division. He was a mar-
ried man, but his conduct towards his family of late had
been so bad that his relations had discarded him.
PEOPLE'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.—Last night a
course of four lectures on " Education as the source of
popular independence, wealth, and morality," was commenced
by the Rev. H. S. Bayley, F.S.A.— one of the founders of the
People's College, Sheffield—in the lecture theatre of the
People's Christian Association, 58, Aldersgate-street: The
lecturer set out by laying down, as a basis, the right of
society to interfere in the education of the children of the
working-man ;
_and then proceeded to glance cursorily at the
present state" of pauperism, intemperance, crime, popular
amusements, and political discontent among the masses of
Great Britain, deducing cogent arguments in favour of the
more general extension of an improved system of naticnal
education. Having referred to the prospects of society in
England, he concluded by maintaining that the only effectual
mode of counteracting the destructive principles of demo-
cracy, now leavening the masses, lies in the wide diffusion
of sound, moral, and religious instruction. The lecturer's
style is eloquent, lively, and interesting, and his address was
very flatteringly received by the audience.
THE GAS QUESTION IN SIIOREDITCEL—Yesterday
a vestry meeting of the inhabitants of St. Leonard's, Shore-
ditch, took place for the purpose of electing, under the local
Acts, trustees, known as " trustees of the four-rate board,"
in place of such trustees as had died, removed, or refused to
act. Mr. Airey, one of the churchwardens, was in the chair,
and it was announced by the vestry-clerk that there were
four vacancies in the four-rate board, two for Moorfields and
two for Hoston. There 2 were two lists submitted to the
meeting, the one first brought forward being strongly recom-
mended for support by its proposer, Mr. Howes, as contain-
ing the names of gentlemen who would exert themselves to
procure a supply of gas for the palish on more reasonable
terms than at present. The second list was proposed by
Mr. Pearce. After a long discussion a show of hands was
taken, NI hen Mr. Howes's nomination was declared to be
carried by It 6to 4. A poll was demanded, and the meeting
then adjourned.
