AFFAIRS OF GREECE.

The Supplement of the Corfu Gazette of the 15th
contains the following dispatch from Count NESSAL-
RODE to M. PERSIAN!, the Russian Ambassador at
Athens :

"His Majesty the Emperor is much concerned at the
unsatisfactory accounts from Greece, and immediately
commissioned M. Von Brunnow to inform Lord Palmer-
ston of the unfavourable impression which the compul-
sory measures adopted towards the Greek marine had
produced upon the mind of his Majesty—measures
which may destroy the existing peace, and placs the
kingdom createl by the three Posers in great difficul-
ties. Ilia Majesty hopes that the Government of Great
Britain will be disposed to settle this unpleasant affair
amicably, and has not the least doubt that by the friendly
intervention of F, ance, it may already have been adjusted.
If, however, the intervention of France should lead to no
result, Russia is willing to undertake the settlement of
this unpleasant difference.
" Count Von Nesselrode, in sending M. Persiani a
copy of his note to M. Von Brunnow, admonishes him,
at the same time, to give his hest advice to the Greek
Government, in order that the matter may be speedily
settled.

" Count Nesselrode fully approves of tho conduct of
M. Persiani."

or prevent evil is idle.—Eliza Cook's Jouimal.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Thursday evening a female
of respectable appearance, while walking in St. John-street,
suddenly fell on the pavement. A surgeon was called to
her, who said life was extinct. She was removed to
Clerkenwell workhouse, Coppice-row. She had on a green
merino dress with white stripes and a victorine. She ap-
peared about fifty years of age, and wore a wig. There
were 9s. in her pocket, but no document to lead to her
identification.

NUTMEG PASTE.—An importation has recently
taken place from Rotterdam of a parcel of paste prepared
from nutmegs, for the purpose of mixing with soap, and
which, finding no description applicable thereto in the table
of duties, was declared as goods manufactured not otherwise
enumerated at the ad valorem duty of ten per cent., which
description was objected to by the officers of the revenue,
who considered it to be liable to duty, as an expressed and
essential oil, of one shilling per lb., which rate of duty has
on consideration of the matter, been directed to be charged,
on the article.

IMPORTS FROM IMERICA.—The new American-
built line-of-packet ship Yorktown, of upwards of 1,200 tons
burden, which has arrived in the decks, from New York, has
brought a very extensive cargo of provisions and general
merchandise, including bacon, beef; rice, pork, cheese, hops,
lard, apples, sugar, oil cake for cattle, and a variety of other
articles. In addition to the interest attaching to an impor-
tation of nearly 200 bales of American hops on this occasion,
the vessel brought nearly 100 hogsheads, pipes, and other
casks of port wine, consigned to wine houses here, and to
order. This importation of wine, the produce of Portugal.
from the United States of America, is remarkable, and of
course was not practicable previously to the relaxation of the
navigation-laws having taken place. Another feature in this
cargo is the importation of 110 barrels of flour, 112 barrels of
biscuits, 13 tierces of rice, two tierces of vinegar, five tierces
of oatmeal, and 5701b5. weight of tea, which are officially de-
clared to be emigrants' stores for exportation in the same
ship, and are intended for consumption by the parties who
will emigrate in the vessel to New York, instead of requiring
the supply of such articles from the bonded or other stores
in this country.

TUE ARMY.—The following changes have taken
place in the head-quarters and depot stations of the under-
mentioned regiments during the present month :—The head-
quarters of the 26th (Cameronians) embarked at Cork on the
sth of March for Gibraltar, and the depot proceeded to Jer-
sey. The 7th (the Queen's Own) Hussars, from Newbridge

should be addressed to them at the stations which they have
been ordered to occupy.

SEC:CLUNG ACCIDENT IN ALDERMANBURY.—On
Thursday, shortly- after twelve o'clock, a serious accident hap-
pened in Aldermanbury to two persons, a man and a boy,
who were employed in repairing a house, and who are now
in St. Bartholowew's Hospital, in consequence of the in-
juries received. There is a scaffold in front of the building,
and, it being dinner time, they were both leaving their work.
The boy had got about half-way down the scaffold, when he
pat his foot upon a piece of timber that was placed longi-
tudinally in the, wall. This being loose, came away, the
effect of which was that he fell to the ground. The block of
timber struck the man on the head, when he was immediately
precipitated from the scaffold. They were instantly as-
sited up, and, being found to be seriously injured, were placed
upon shutters and conveyed by the workmen to St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital. After being attended by the house-surgeon
they were placed in bed in the accident ward.
AN OPINION ON TUE FASHIONS.—" My son,"

hand in.tho, streets of Cairo, and pointinc, out to him on the
opposite side a Frenchman justintorted7,in all the elegance

23d instant indicate no increased demand for accomoda-
tiou. Oa the contrary, with an addition of 383,2781. to
the specie and notes unemployed, there is a marked de-
