LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1844.

Easter Monday being observed as a close holiday
at Paris, very few of the journals were published on
that day, and these contain no domestic news of much
importance. In the Courrier Francais, however, we
find intelligence from Constantinople to the 20th
ult., which shows that the Government of the Porte
had at length listened to the advice—and, we be,.
lieve, also threats—of the English and French Am-
bassadors. The answer of the Porte was given on
the 19th, and the Government promises, in the most
positive manner, no longer to inflict the punishment
of death on renegades. As to the religious law, no
mention is made of it. The Porte also promises to
treat Christians kindly. The two Ambassadors, how-
ever, do not consider these concessions satisfactory,
and they demand, in addition, that renegades shall
not be got rid of by poison or by any other under-
hand practices. It was added, that though capital
punishment would no longer be inflicted, renegades,
however, would be condemned to the galleys for life.
Nearly the same account appears in the Journal de
Frankfort:with the-excep'ion that the Porte had not
announced its intention of inflicting the punishment
of the galleys on renegades. Another journal of
Monday states that letters had been received at
Constantinople) which give frightful accounts

are we to change our principles because a Tory Govern-
ment is in power ? Are we to veer about like weather-
cocks with the Ministerial gale, and call that right
under the guidance of Peel which we protested against
under Melbourne. ?' All this is very tine in the way of
Flap-trap eloquence, awl will go down with many as
irresistible argumentation. But let declamation sleep
for. a moment, while reason speaks. Of course, prin-
ciple cannot change with, or be the le Ist affected by,
the ruling Ministers ; hut practical conduct must and
ought to admit of modifications from such considera-
tions." . . . • . . • • • • _ _

What was politic and wise then (under the Whigs) is
not so now. Every motive of prudence loudly suggests
that it is only common sense to endeavour to make the
best use_of an institution,, now that it is impossible to
alter or suppress it, which it would have been most in-
expedient and impolitic to take any part in, as long
as holding off seemed likely to produce such effects."
Such is the advice which the Government, by the
mouth of its servant, the Dublin Packet, addresses to
the clerical opponents of the National Board of Edu-
cation. Is it not passing strange—assuming that there
has been no change of purpose, from infirmity to de-
cision on the part of the Government in this matter—
that simultaneous with a statement that a decisive
course was henceforth to be adopted—which statement
had no foundation in fact —there should be all this
waste of argument by the Government organ to recon-
cile the clergy to a state of things which had really
no existence ? On the supposition that the Govern-
ment means henceforth to give efficiency to its own
system of education in Ireland, by removing obstacles
which have hitherto retarded and counteracted its
success, all is plain. On the contrary hypothesis,
everything is confused and contradictory. Will the
Standard undertake to reconcile the discrepancies ?
In the meantime, the High Churchmen in this coun-
try see, in the ecclesiastical measures of Sir Robert
Peel, everything to alarm their fears. The system of
exclusive privileges, civil and religious, of which they
are by education and habit the advocates, they con-
sider as perilled by his policy. The Church and State
Gazette has for several weeks poured forth its anathemas
on the Government, and especially on Sir Robert Peel.
In consistency with the distrust of the Premier which
that influential organ of the Ultras in this country has
long inculcated, upon all who desire to preserve
Protestantism in both countries from threatened ex-
tirpation, we find in its leadinc, articles of Saturday
last, the tocsin of alarm sounded in the loudest notes.
In one article we read :—" The Church, the House
of Lords, the Monarchy, must all abide the furious
trial. They may yet be saved ; but not by the
policy adopted by Sir R. Peel. That is certain de-
struction to all ! Under it the House of Commons
will become omnipotent, and, as in times past, will
break down and trample upon the other forms of the
Constitution."

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The supply of English Wheat on show was rather
scanty, but fully adequate to meet the wants of the
dealers. Prime samples were disposed of at Monday's
quotations, but the middling and inferior descriptions
were extremely heavy. In Foreign Grain, both free
and in bond, so little was doing that the rates were al-
most nominal. Barley moved off steadily-, at prices
quite equal to those noted in our last report. The Malt
trade was very dull, but of all other Grain there was a
slow sale.

SCYLLA AND CHARYBDIS.

Scylla and Charybdis, or Scylla and Glaucis rather,
is a far more appalling story of jealousy. Scylla
properly belongs to the opposite coast cf. Naples ; but
as she and her fellow monster Charybdis are usually
named together, and the latter tenanted the Sicilian
coast, and the strait between them is very narrow, she
is not to be omitted in Sicilian fable. Charybdis
(quasi Chalybdis, Hiding ? though some derive it
from two words, signifying to "gape" and " absorb,")
was a female robber, who, having stolen the oxen of
Hercules, was condemned to be a whirlpool, and suck
ships into its gulf. But she was a horror not to be
compared with Scylla, though the latter was thought
less dangerous to pass. It has been thought by
some, that by the word Scylla is meant the bitch
of the sea-dog or seal—a creature often found
on this coast. Be this as it may (and the seal, having
a more human look than a dog, might suggest a more
frightful image, to say nothing of its being more ap-
propriate to the water), who was Scylla ? and how
came she to be this tremendous monster ? From the
jealousy of Circe. Scylla was originally a beautiful
maiden, fond of the company of the sea-nymphs, and
Glaucus (sea-green), a god of the sea, was in love
with her. She did not like him ; and Glaucus applied
to Circe for help, from her skill in magic. Circe fell
in love with the lover, and, being enraged with the
attractions that made him refuse her, poisoned the
water in which Scylla bathed. The result was the
conversion of her lower limbs into a set of barking
dogs. They were part of her ; and when in her
horror she thought to drive them back, she found
herself " hauling" them along with her—one creature,
says Ovid, hauling many :
" Quos fugit, attrahit una."—Me,tam, xiv., v. 63.
This is very dreadful ; yet Homer s creature is more
so. Her proceedings exactly resemble the accounts
which mariners have given of a huge sea polypus
—a cousin of the kraken, or sea-serpent—who thrusts
her gigantic feelers over the deck of an unsuspecting
ship, and carries off a few seamen. There is a picture
of it in one of the editions of Buffon. But the dog-
like barking, and the terrific head and teeth, to which
the imagination involuntarily gives something of a
human aspect, leave the advantage of the horrible still
on the side of the poet. —Leigh Hunt in Ainsworth' s
Magazine.

SINGULAR CASE OF SACRILEGE.---A girl named
Carpenter, about eleven years of age, was discovered by
the sexton in St. Thomas's Church, early on Saturday
week. On being interrogated, she said she went in the
lrevious evening to hear the singing, and the singers
eaving quickly she was locked in all night. In the
course of a aay or two afterwards she was detected vend-
ing a Bible and Prayer-book (which had evidently been
stolen from the church), and taken before the magis-
trates, but they could not bring the theft thome to her,
and she was disci arged.—Hampshire Advertiser.

LAW AND PrI3;ICE.

_ ------.
At the Old Bailey a true bill hits been returned against
all the parties implicated in the ]ate will forgeries, with
the exception of Griffin, who has been admitted a wit-
ness for the Crown.

In the New Court several petty cases were disposed of.
A lengthened inquiry took plaiT before Mr. Jardine,
at Bow-street, upon a summons which had been granted
to Ralph Reeve, a pauper in the Strand Union work-
house, charging James Bunyard, the porter of the house,
with having violently assaulted him without the least
provocation. The charge nut being borne out by evi-
dence, the summons was dismissed.

John Turner was charged at, Marylebone, by a pretty-
looking young woman, named Charlotte Thompson, with
forcing himself into her house. The defendant was a
discarded lover, and after gaining admittance into the
dwelling, he was given into custody. On the way to
the station-house, he bit the policeman in the hand. He
was fined 20s.

Mary Walsh was charged, at Union-hall, with stabbing
a young man, named John Campbell, in the eye, with a
pair of scissors. The complainant is likely to lose the
sight of one of his eyes from the serious nature of the
wound he received. He was fined 51., and, in default of
payment, sent to gaol.
Francis Penny was charged, at the same office, with
excessive brutality to a donkey, which he had borrowed
to let out on hire to holiday folks on Easter Monday.
The poor animal, which was at the door of the Court,
exhibited marks of the brutal usage it had experienced
at the hands of its cruel master, and a sharp pointed
stick was produced, covered with blood, the instrument
with which it was inflicted. A penalty of 40s. was
imposed.
William Hatter and John Thompson, two well-dressed
young men, the latter wearing a watch and gold chain,
and the former a valuable gold pin, who were recognised
as notorious thieves, were charged, at Greenwich, with
breaking into the dwelling-house of Samuel Brightley,
of Cross-field-lane, Lower-road, Deptford. They were
•
committed.

A man was brought up, at Hammersmith, in charge,
as a confirmed lunatic, whose place of settlement is un-
known. His delusions were all of a political character.
and to. every question as to his name, he answered
" Henry, Lord Brougham." He was ordered to be taken
to the asylum at Hanwell.

all his claims up to January, 1841, were settled, when
his Lordship received 96,0001. in bills, which were duly
paid. The pay and pension again fell into arrears, which
the Government are now paying off by monthly instal-
ments. The amount of the pension for a period of 29
years, would be about 64,8001., less of late years by the
amount of the decimal tax.

Easter Monday being observed as a close holiday
at Paris, very few of the journals were published on
that day, and these contain no domestic news of much
importance. In the Courrier Francais, however, we
find intelligence from Constantinople to the 20th
ult., which shows that the Government of the Porte
had at length listened to the advice—and, we be-
lieve, also threats—of the English and French .Am-
bassadors. The answer of the Porte was given on
the 19th, and the Government promises, in the most
positive manner, no longer to inflict the punishment
of death on renegades. As to the religious law, no
mention is made of it. The Porte also promises to
treat Christians kindly. The two Ambassadors, how-
ever, do not consider these concessions satisfactory,
and they demand, in addition, that renegades shall
not be got rid of by poison or by any other under-
hand practices. It was added, that though capital
punishment would no longer be inflicted, renegades,
however, would be condemned to the galleys for life.
Nearly the same account appears in the Journal de
Frankfort, with the exception that the Porte had not
announced its intention of inflicting the punishment
of the galleys on renegades. Another journal of
Monday states that letters had been received at
Constantinople, which give frightful accounts
of the excesses committed by the Albanian
troops in Thessally, Macedonia, and Bul-
garia, against the Christians. These atrocities
are caused by the fanatical hatred of Mussulmans
against.the Christian races.
Accounts from St. Petersburgh of the 19th March,
state that the EMPEROR would proceed to Vienna in
the month of May, and that he had given up all
thoughts of repairing to Circassia to superintend the
movements of the army. The Cologne Gazette pub-
lishes a letter from Berlin, of the 30th ult., which
contradicts the report that the treaty of extradition,
in the case of deserters, had been renewed between
Russia and Prussia. The French funds continued
firm.

THE ARTICLES OF THE GREEK
CONSTITUTION.
PRESENTED TO THE KING MARCH 4, 1844, AND AC-
CEPTED BY HIS MAJESTY MARCH 15, 1844.
In the name of the holy consubstantial and indivisible
Trinity—

ON RELIGION.
Art. 1. The established religion of Greece is that of
the orthodox Eastern Church of Christ ; but every ac-
knowledged religion is tolerated, and its rites may be
observed without hindrance, under the protection of the
law. Proselytism is strictly prohibited, as well as every
other interference with the established religion.
Art. 2. The orthodox church of Greece acknowledges
our Lord Jesus Christ for its head ; is inseparably
united in doctrinal union with the great Church of Con-
stantinople and every other church of Christ of the same
`tenets (omodoxos), invariably observing, as these do, the
holy apostolical and synodical canons, and the holy tra-
ditions ; it is (autocephalos) self-dependent, and exer-
cises its supreme power within itself, independently of
every other church, and is governed by a holy synod of
bishops.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE OF ARTS.

THIS EVENING, APRIL le.
ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE of ARTS (under the
management and sole proprietorship of Mr. BATTY), with its Treble
Rotation of Equestrian and Dramatic Spectacles, and unequalled
Scenes of the Circle, and Batty's Matchless Stud of beautitul Horses,
Fairy Ponies, &c. Mr. Batty begs respectfully to acquaint the
Nobility, Gentry, and public that, encouraged by the Battering
success during the past year, and finding the Theatre not suffi-
ciently commodious for its numerous pitrons, he entered into an
extensive arrangement with Messrs. Haward and Nixon, the emi—
nent buiklers of Lambeth, for the re.consiructing on a magnificent
and novel principle, the whole of the interior of the Theatre,
which has been rebuilt, dress boxes enlarged, upper boxes widened,
and pit and galleries extensively improved. Fourteen glass lustres
are added, and a Grecian dome ceiling, with entirely new splendid
classic decorations, and gorgeous apppeintments, which, with the
flrst-rate talent to be offered, he presumes cannot fail of obtaining
that support so liberally bestowed on his endeavours during the
last season. The grand Easter national Spectacle will combine all the
splendid historical effects of the Nonuan Conquest of England,
produced by Mr. W. D. Broadfoot. The Cirque Olympique will in.
traduce un, quaffed equestrian talent, and the dou.,le company com-
prise talent of the highest older.
The door will open nightly at six o'clock, and the performances
commence at seven. Box.olllee will beopened on Saturday, April 6,
and continue so daily from ten till four. The private boxes have
been reconstructed and decorated with care and splendour.
Acting and stage-manager, Mr. W. D. Broadfoot.

FALMOUTH, APRIL 7.—An inquest was held to-
day at the Temperance Hotel, in this town, on the re-
mains of Mrs. Ti-ewarnas' of Penzance, whose husband
is owner and in command of the Magic, at present in the
port of Dublin, and for which place the deceased had
taken her passage on board the Royal William, Dublin
steamer. It appeared in evidence that she had left the
hotel in apparent perfect health, but that shortly after
she got on board the steamer, then in our inner harbour,
she exclaimed to the second mate, who was sitting near
her, " Oh, how faint I am!" and fell a corpse. -A
me-
dical examination was made at the request of the jury,
the result of which was that her sudden death was the
consequence of apoplexy.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Yesterday morning
the Earl of Aboyne was married to Mary Anginnetta
Pegus, a daughter of the Countess of Lindsey, at the
church of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, in the presence of

the young and beautiful bride and the numerous brides-
maids were extremely rich. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Frederick Pegus, uncle to the bride.
After partaking of luncheon at No. 8, Spring-gardens,
the happy couple left town for Orton Hall, near Peter-
borough.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The supply of English Wheat on show was rather
scanty, but fully adi quate to meet the wants of the
dealers. Prime samples were disposed of at Monday's
quotations, but the middling and inferior descriptions
were extremely heavy. In Foreign Grain, both free
and in bond, so little was doing that the rates were al-
most nominal. Barley moved off steadily, at prices
quite equal to those noted in our last report. The Malt
trade was very dull, but of all other Grain there was a
slow sale.

SCYLLA AND CHARYBDIE.

Scylla and Charybdis, or Scylla and Glaucis rather,
is a far more appalling story of jealousy. Scylla
properly belongs to the opposite coast of Naples ; but
as she and her fellow monster Charybdis are usually
named together, and the latter tenanted the Sicilian
coast, and the strait between them is very narrow, she
is not to be omitted in Sicilian fable. Charybdis
(quasi Chalybdis, Hiding? though some derive it
from two words, signifying to " gape" and " absorb,")
*as a female robber, who, having stolen the oxen of
Hercules, was condemned to be a whirlpool, and suck
ships into its gulf. But she was a horror not to be
compared with Scylla, though the latter was thought
less dangerou3 to pass. It has been thought by
some, that by the word Scylla is meant the bitch
of the sea-dog or seal—a creature often found
on this coast. Be this as it may (and the seal, having
a more human look than a dog, might suggest a more
frightful image, to say nothing of its being more ap-
propriate to the water), who was Scylla? and how
came she to be this tremendous monster ? From the
jealousy of Circe. Scylla was originally a beautiful
maiden, fond of the company of the sea-nymphs, and
Glaucus (sea-green), a god of the sea, was in love
with her. She did not like him ; and Glaucus applied
to Circe for help, from her skill in magic. Circe fell
in love with the lover, and, being enraged with the
attractions that made him refuse her, poisoned the
water in which Scylla bathed. The result was the
conversion of her lower limbs into a set of barking
dogs. They were part of her; and when in her
horror she thought to drive them back, she found
herself " hauling" them along with her—one creature,
says Ovid, hauling many :
" Quos fugit, attrahit una."—Metam, xiv., v. 63.
This is very dreadful ; yet Homer's creature is more
so. her proceedings exactly resemble the accounts
which mariners have given of a huge sea-polypus
her—a
—u huos
pt thrusts
ship, and carries oft' a few seamen. There is a picture
gcoiguasninticoffetehleerlisroakveeii.i,thoer sdeeac-serpent
annt
of it in one of the editions of Blain. But the dog-
like barking, and the terrific head and teeth, to which
the imagination involuntarily gives something of a
human aspect, leave the advantage of the horrible still
on the side of the poet.—Leigh Hunt in Alinsuworth's
Magazine.

SINSWLAIt CASE OF SACRILEGE.---A girl named
Carpenter, about eleven years of age, was discovered by
the sexton in St. lhomas's Church, early on Saturday
week. On being interrogated, she said she went in the
previous evening to hear the singing, and the singers
leaving chiefly she was locked in all night. In the
course of a day or two afterwards she was detected vend-
ing a Bible and Prayer-book (which had evidently been
stolen from the church), and taken before the magis-
trates, but they could not bring the theft Lhome to her,
&IA she was dischar4ed.-114ineshire advertiser.

THE CUTTHORPE ESTATE

puts in AN UNDISPUTED TITLE TO THE WHOLE.

The Mansion is somewhat old-fashioned. Its antiquity will ac-
count for this; but, in the olden times comfort was more in re-
quest than architects award to modern buildings. It is within
two-and-a-half short miles of the

RESPECTABLE TOWN OF CHESTERFIELD.
There are gardens and pleasure-grounds quite ample. There is
a pretty terrace walk, and a fish-pond abundantly stocked. In days
of yore it was the residence of
THE HEATHCOTE FAMILY,
a name honoured for its great respectability, and one that does not
yield in a single attribute that can adorn high character to any
other throughout the kingdom. The abode possesses every ac-
commodation a gentleman retiring from the busy scenes of mercan.
tile pursuits, or a yeoman of high standing can desire, with offices
of every description. There are
