GREECE.

By the Levant Mail we have received Constanti-
nople journals to the 4th, and Athens journals
to the Bth both inclusively. In the former there
is nothing of interest. The Courrier d' Athenes,
of the Bth, states that Baron Gros, the
French Envoy, had been received by the King,
with whom he had a long audience, and mentions
a report that he has recommended the Greek
Government to recognize the claims of England to
indemnities for certain English and lonian subjectq,
leaving the question of amount open to discussion.
The Greek Government, adds the Courrier, was
said to be disposed to adopt the recommendation.

MEMORANDUM

SHOWING THE DIVISON OF IRELAND INTO FIVE MILI-
TARY DISTRICTS,
Referred to in the General Order dated March 1,
1850.

Coax DISTRICT.—In this district will be comprised
the counties of Cork and Kerry, with the exception
of that small portion of the latter which is to the north-
east of the River Feale. This river, from Abbeyfeale
by Listowel, as far as the point where, after receiving
the Galley river, it falls into the Shannon, under the
name of the Cashen, will then form the boundary be-
tween the Cork and Limerick districts ; in the latter
of which will remain, as at present, the forts of Tar-
bert and Carig Island, on the left bank of the Shan-
non, and alio the town of Listowel and village of
Mabee. This arrangement will leave the several
forts on both banks of the Lower Shannon in the
same district with Limerick, which is desirable on
account of the facility of communication with that
city by steam conveyance.
LIMERICK DISTRICT.—In this district will be con-
tained-1. The entire of the counties Limerick, Clare,
and Galway. 2. That small portion of the county of
Kerry which lies to the N.E. of the'River Feale, as
detailed under the head of Cork district. 3. The
whole of the north of Tipperary, and the
western part of the same county ; the River
Suir forming the boundary between this dis-
trict and that of Kilkenny, from Newcastle,
near to Roscrea ' • Cahir and Roscrea remaining as
at present, in the Limerick district ; Clogheen, Cashel,
Golden, Holycross, Thurles, and Templemore, being
allotted to that of Kilkenny. 4. The south-western
portion of King's County, the boundary being formed
as follows, viz :—By the river which, entering the
county under the name of the Ballynacarrig, passes
by Frankford, and bearing the several names of the
Broughal, Silver, and Millbrook, empties itself into
the Brosna, and thence by the Brosna as far as its
confluence with the River Shannon. Philipstown
and Tullamore thus remaining, as at present, in the
Dublin district ; Frankford, Shannon harbour, and
Shannon-bridge, being allotted to Limerick.
KILKENNY DISTRICT.—This district is to contain :
1. The entire counties of Kilkenny, Waterford, Wex-
ford, Queen's, and Carlow. 2. That part of Wicklow
which lies south of the parallel of latitude of the town
of Arklow, including that town as at present. 3. The
eastern part of the county of Tipperary, bounded by
the River Suir, from Newcastle, near to Roscrea, with
Clogheen, Cashel, Golden, Holycross, Thurles, and
Templemore, as detailed under the head of Limerick
district, and also Carrick-on-Suir and Clonmel.
DUBLIN DISTRICT.—This district to contain :-1.
The entire counties of Dublin, Kildare, Meatb,
Westmeath, Longford, Roscommon, and Mayo, toge-
ther with the towns of Drogheda and Carrick-on-
Shannon. 2. The northern and eastern portion of
King's County, bounded by the river Ballynacarrig,
Broughal, Silver, or Millbrook, and the Brosna, as
detailed under he head of " Limerick District."
Thus including Philipstown and Tullamore, as at
present in the Dublin district. 3. That portion of
the county Wicklow which lies north of the parallel
latitude of the town of Arklow, that town remaining
in the Kilkenny district.
BELFAST DISTRICT.—To remain as at present, with
the addition of the counties of Sligo and Leitrim ;
Carrick-on-Shannon, as already stated, to be in the
Dublin district.

By order,
(Signed) R. C. MANSELL,
Deputy Quartermaster General.

PLYMOUTH, MARCEL 16.—The allowance to gene-
ral, staff, and field officers, in lieu of forage for the
five months ending the Ist March, 1850, is Is. Sd.
per diem for Devon and Cornwall, agreeable to an
order just promulgated. The major-general has
issued an order that officers who may attend on Go-
vernment parade during the parade of the troops are
to appear in full dress. " Trooping the guard" on
Mount Wise, before General Murray and his staff,
was commenced on Thursday morning last, and will
ite continued generally through the summer months
on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, Wednesdays
being reserved for the General to see one or all the
corps in garrison.
ORDNANCE.—The hired mechanics and labourers
employed in her Majesty's gun wharf have received
notice that their services will not be required after
the 31st inst.

NEW PRINTING MACHINE.
(From Galignanes Messenger.)

Several: gentlemen —connected witii the press in
Paris, and the head of a large printing establishment
in Scotland, assembled on Saturday at the manufac-
tory of M. de Coster to witness the performance of a
new printing machine, invented by M. Worms.
This machine, from its simplicity and the mode
of execution, promises to cause a total revolution in
printing. It occupies a much smaller space than the
machines which are new in use at some of the great
printing establishments, in Paris and London, costs
less than half the price at which one of those
can be had, and is free from the tapes and other
guiders, which frequently get out of order, and oc-
casion considerable delay. It requires only the labour
of three men to feed it, and receives the work as it is
thrown off, whereas from twelve to sixteen are
required with each of the machines that it is
expected to replace. From its simplicity and
comparative compactness, the power of steam, as a
moving power, may also in some cases be dispensed
with, as it can be worked by hand. This new ma-
chine, which is called rotative, does not print from
the types, but from stereotype, and this is the
most extraordinary part of the process. In the ordi-
nary process of stereotyping several hours are re-
quired, for the material used for receiving the im-
pression of the type, and which serves as a mould in
which the stereotype is cast, must be carefully and
slowly dried. The mould for the stereotype by this
new process is made of a few sheets of tissue paper,
with a couple of sheets of common paper at the back
to give a certain degree of strength. The paper is wet-
ted to the properdegree, and then pressed upon the type.
The impression is perfect. The mould is then dried,which
is the work only of a few minutes, and placed on a
cylinder, with a sufficient space between it and an
outer case to receive the metal. This metal, which is
very liquid, and which is prepared in a peculiar way,
flows rapidly and evenly over every part of the mould,
and by the application of a cold wet sponge to the
exterior, it becomes almost instantly solid. The
mould is then removed and transferred to the cylinder

of the machine ready for printing. On e part of the plate
fits in exactly to a groove made to re .oeive it, and the
other part is held by screws. The waole of the stereo-
typing process does not occupy more than from 15 to
25 minutes. The action of the machine differs entirely
from anything hitherto invented. There is no laying on
of the sheets to be printed. A continuous sheet of paper
equal to 2,000 or more sheets of a newspaper is rolled
on a cylinder, and as the machine turns, the plate
on the printing cylinder is fed, and by the
action of the machine itself the paper is divided at
the proper place into sheets of the desired size,
and each sheet is folded at the same time, The
paper which receives the impression is not wetted, as in
other printing processes ; it is placed on the cylinder
as it comes from the paper maker, but so certain and
regular is the pressure that the impression on this dry
paper is equal, if not superior, to that obtained upon
damped paper in the ordinary way. There is an index
affixed to the machine, to indicate the rate at which
k goes, by the number of sheets thrown off. When
the continuous sheet, equal to 2,000 copies of a
journal, is exhausted, the cylinder is replaced by
another, and so on. It is said that as many as
15,000 copies of a journal can be printed in an
hour by this machine. The gentlemen who witnessed
the process on Saturday expressed their admira-
tion of it, and could see no defects which a very little
practice will not remove. The groat advantages of
this new invention are, economy i❑ the outlay for the
machine, the cost of which is only '25,000f,, whilst
the,machine of the Patrie, which has excited so much
notice, cost 60,000 f. ; the immense saving in type, fur
the type itself, being used only fur the stereotyping
process, undergoes scarcely any wear, and, instead of
renewing a fount every year, twenty years' service by
this process could scarcely reduce the sharpness of the
letters; economy in labour, and rapidity of execution,
almost without the possibility of delay from any de-
rangement in the machine.

ASSIZE INTELLICALNCE.
MIDLAND ClRCUlT—Nottinghcm, March 18.
CROWN COURT.--(Before Lord CAMPBELL.)
John Sansome, a person of some, but imperfect,
education, aged 53, was at the sitting o f the Court this
morning arraigned and put upon his t rial, charged with
the wilful murder, at Sutton-in-Ash field, on the 19th
of April in last year, of Elizabeth B alley.
Mr. Denison appeared as counsel for the crown.
Mr. Mellor defended the accused.

The prisoner was tried at the last summer assizes
for this county after the death, upon a charge t,f
having • used an instrument upon the deceased,
Elizabeth Bailey, with intent to proct ire miscarriage.
Mr. W. H..A.datns then defended him. The dying
declaration of the unfortunate sufferer was not then
in proof. There were several coup is in the indict-
ment on that occasion, averring the I;,se of an instru-
ment. The prisoner was acquitted.. The Learned
Judge, Mr. Baron Parke, ordered him to be detained
until these assizes to answer a charge of murder. The
indictment now charged the pris oner with the
wilful murder of Elizibeth Bailey, and comprised
counts for using an instrument, and others for manual
operation only.
Mr. MELLOR, for the prisoner, pleaded autrefois
acquit.

Lord CAMPBELL requested the atteniance of Mr.
Baron Parke, who, with him, sat to hear the
arguments of the Learned Counsel fo r the prisoner
and the Crown.

Thereupon it was ordered that all the counts
averring the use of an instrument sh ould be struck
out of the indictment. This was clone, and the trial
proceeded upon the other counts only.
The jury retired at about five o'clock, and after
three hours of deliberation, returned with a verdict
of guilty of wilful murder, with a re commendation
to mercy.
His LORDSHIP proceeded to pass the awful sentence
of death. The prisoner had been con victed, after a
long and painful trial, by an intelligen t jury, of the
crime of wilful murder; and he (hi& Lordship) en-
tirely agreed in that :verdict, the evidence in his
mind clearly bringing home to the prisoner the charge
contained in the indictment. He m.uch feared that
such practices had by the prisoner hes n long carried
on. At last justice had overtaken hi vc.. The woman
had died. He would take care that the recommend-
ation of the jury should be forwarded to the proper
quarter, with what effect, he could not say. The
prisoner had long carried on, he feared, this frightful
practice, which in the eyes of the law, of God, and
of man, was a crime of most awful magnitude, and
his Lordship had only now to pass the solemn sen-
tence cf death in the usual form.

NORTHEI?N CIRCUIT.—Yoeh, March 18.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron RoLFE.)
Thomas Kay and William Green, who had been
severally convicted of receiving stolen goods, were
this morning placed at the bar for sentence.
His LORDSHIP, in passing sente3ace, said—lt is
against such persons as you that the statute against re-
ceivers was principally directed. You, living in the
purlieus of London, were associated with a band of
desperate characters at Leeds, whom you encouraged
to break into and rob the warehouses at that place,
by receiving and disposing of the stolen property in
London. I feel it my daty to pass the utmost sen-
tence of the law, which is that yoga be transported for
fourteen years.
