" This resolution, in our opinion, will bring about serious
complications. The presumptive heirs to the throne, the
Princes .of Bavaria, are Catholics, and the 39th article of
the Constitution is an act of exclusion pronounced against
them, and a virtual infraction of the treaty of 1832. There-
fore, if the Bavarian Princes are put out of Court, a King
must be looked for possessing the Oriental • religion: Two
eventualities may occur. A Greek may be chosen, but that,
internal jealousies may prevent—or a Prince belonging to a
foreign family. of the orthodox Church may be selected. In
that case the Imperial Family, of Russia would be called into
action ".,
but, on the other hand, the Great POwers have
stipulated that none of the three protecting Powers shall from '
their OWTI families furnish a King to the Greek nation.
• ""The- representatives of France and England have protested
against the new article of the Constitution, as in contravention
of the treaty of 1832, and there is little doubt but that this
question will call for the intervention of at least two of the
three protecting Powers.".

MORTALITY IN 'TIM METROPOLIS.—The return for
the week ending Saturday, March 16, is very favour-
able,sho‘ving a greal decrease as compared with the
returns for many weeks-, and a decrease of 43 on the
return for the previous week. The total number of
deaths was 989, while in the week. •ending March 9, it
was 1,030. In almost every disease there is a
deerease, but chiefly in deaths from diseases of the
lungs. The total, number last week was 307, previous
week 375, average 330, The following is the analysis:—
Bronehites 28, previous week 37, average 19 ; pneu-
monia 82, previous week 113, average 91 ; asthma 35,
average. 45 ; consumption 133, previous week 150,
average 146. In epidemic diseases there is an excess of
7 ,above the average from scarlatina, the numbeibeing
43, previous week 40, and average 25. In all the other
cases there is a diminution. Small-pox carried off 21
persons, and of these 20 had not been vaccinated. The
number of deaths from violence, intemperance, and pri-
vation, was 29, average; 25 ; and of these, 10 were
caused by burnings and scalds, and 5 .from suicides, two
males and three females. The thermometer was lowest on
Wednesday, the 13th-32.6 'degrees ; and highest on
Monday, the 11th-52.5 degrees. :'

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.--We perceive by the play-
bills that Mr. Massingham, box book-keeper, takes his
benefit at this theatre on. Friday next, -March 22d. As
he is an efficient. and courteous public servant, and the
bill of fare that he announces is a highly attractive one,
we have no doubt that .his., benefit will be fully and
fashionabll attended.

The following extracts from it will be read with in-
terest : •
"At the same time that we receive the account of the
discussion in the House of Commons on the affairs of
Greece, we receive intelligence from Athens, announcing a
change in the Ministry, formed after the Revolution of Sep-
tember. It is known that M. Metaxa, who is considered as
the head of the Russian party, was the President of this
Ministry. M. Metaxa had solicited the aid of M. Coletti and
M. Mavrocordato, who are looked on as the leaders of the
French and English parties, and those statesmen had
promised their support to the Cabinet, although they refused
to form a part of it. Hitherto MM. Coletti and Mavrocordato
had merely served as a counterpoise to the Rnssian party, which
in Greece shows itself as liberal as it is despotic in Russia.
What would prove, if necessary, what we say is, that the corn.
pact hitherto maintained with much difficulty has been
broken on a question in which the most precious prerogative
of Royalty was concerned. The National Assembly had to
discuss the constitution of the Chamber of Peers or Senate.
Was the nomination of senators to be left to the King, or to
the elective body? This question had been resolved con-
formably to monarchial principles. But were the senators to
be named for life, or for a certain fixed period ? This is what
the National Assemblyi was called on to decide. The Radical
party, with which the Russian party united, wanted to have
the senators appointed for ten years. The moderate party,
headed by MM. Colletti and Mavrocordato, were of opinion
that they ought to be named for life. A first vote divided
the Assembly into two equal parts, but after two days' dis-
cussion, 112 votes were given for the appointment for life,
and 9 for the nomination for a certain period. This vote
caused a great sensation in Athens. The Russian, or
Nappist party, endeavoured to turn the popular passions
to account; pamphlets were distributed in the city ;
Opposition journals appeared in mourning ; and MM.
Coletti, Mavrocordato, And Londos were pointed out
as objects for public disapprobation, but the people
did not respond to those attempts at excitement. M.
Metaxa gave in his resignation as President of the Council,
as did.M. Shynas, Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs. Never-
theless, the other members of the Cabinet remained at their
posts. A man who bears an historical name,already Minister
of Marine, has taken the office of President of the Council ;
M. Melas, Minister of Justice, has taken, ad interim, the port-
folio of Ecclesiastical Affairs ; M. Drosses Mensolas, Minister
of Finance, has taken the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, and
that of the King's Household. It is, therefore, still the Mi-
nistry of the Revolution of September which administers the
affairs of ' Greece ; and Colonel Kalergi, who was then at the
head of-the garrison, also preserves his functions, and has
known how to maintain that order, which guarantees the in-
dependence of the deliberations of the National Assembly.
"The question of religion will no doubt give rise to serious
difficulties, as Greece appears determined to have a national
religion, and that the Sovereign shall be a member of the
Greek Church.
