What shall we say of the English squadro__,
which, though allowed without restraint to take in
provisions in the several ports of the island, notwith-
standing the strict blockade which it enforces, remains
a quiet spectator of all the excesses that are com-
mitted, yet it belongs to one of the Powers
which have declared that the treaty of 6th July
was made to prevent bloodshed. It was even ob-
served that on the late landing of the Greeks, the
English squadron appeared in the road of Canea,
and it is generally believed that this diversion was
intentional, as it obliged the Turks to leave 500
men in the batteries, who might otherwise have
been employed against the Greeks ; and on the
same day the Pacha offered the English permission
to take whatever provisions they wanted in the
town, an offer of which they made ample use.
As Mustapha Pacha has, on the whole, a
force of above eight thousand men, the writer
says he will be able to overcome the Greeks,
and the consequences of the war in this un-
happy island may be easily foreseen ; and it is
the more strange that this state of things should be
allowed to continue, as the Turks have given no
cause for it, but would have ensured to the Greek
population peace and security, by their wise and be-
neficent Government, and the simple disapprobation
of the President, or a summons from the Admiral of
the allies, would put an end to the troubles at once.

It affords us very great pleasure to perceive

that the public sympathy keeps sensibly alive to
the cause of the distressed Spaniards, Portu-
guese, and Italian Exiles, as will be seen by the
list of subscriptions in our front page. We
earnestly trust that those who have not yet
contributed their mite, will step forward and
aid the cause of benevolence by charitable bene-
dictions. Those whom delicacy has hitherto de-
terred, may forward their donations anonymously
to the Secretary, and thus

" Do good by stealth, yet blush to find it fame."

We arc happy to learn from documents which
have been laid before the Lord Chamberlain,
that the gasometer has been removed from
Covent-garden Theatre, and every means for the
manufacture of gas Vut a decided stop to.
Equally gratified are we at perceiving the prompt
attention paid by the Lord Chamberlain to the
safety of the public: Before -he would permit
the Theatre to be • re-opened, his Lordship,
addressed a letter to the Proprietors, in which he
requested that they would supply him with
vouchers for the safety of Covent Garden, which
they accordingly did. We hope that this vigi-
lance will be continued, for by a strict attention
to the state of public buildings in general much
calamity may be averted. While on the subject,
we may just remark that the observations in a
Morning Paper, whose exceeding impudence is
by no means its least recommendation, on the
state of the gas at Drury Lane, has already
disgusted the majority of its very few subscribers.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVII o' CLOCK.

In the absence of political intelligence in the City
the principal topic of conversation has been can-
vassing the reported intention of the Bank of France
to discount at a lower rate of interest; many persons
express their doubts of such a plan being put in exe-
cution, and the opinion in Paris is, we understand,
nearly divided on the subject of its practicability.
Consols closed yesterday at 87f-, for account, and
opened this morning at 87f -a, became buyers, but
went down to 878 ; the market afterwards under-
went an improvement, and they are now at the open-
ing price ; the Contango has been reduced to I per
cent.; Reduced have been buyers at 96k. The
premium on Exchequer Bills has undergone an im-
provement from 60 2 to 6.5 7 ; and India Bonds
from 62 4 to 64 7.

The transactions in the Foreign Funds have been,
up to the above hour, of little or no importance;

TWO O'CLOCK.

A considerable change in the Money market has
taken place to-day. Money is much easier in the
City, and Exchequer Bills, on which 5 per cent.
was demanded yesterday, may be had at 3 per cent.
to-day. The liberal conduct of the Bank is stated
to l)e the cause of this favourable change. Consols
remain, for Account, 871 i.

THREE O'CLOCK.

HUNTON'S PROPERTY.—Yesterday Hun-
ton's property at Layton was sold at Garraway's, by Mr.
Farebrother. The room was crowded. The property was
bought in fur 3,4501., being the amount for which it was
mortgaged prior to Messrs. Curtis having any right in it.
The highest bidder went to 3,1001. The lease of the
Bishopsgate house was sold for 4001.
.A correspondent, in allusion to a paragraph
in yesterday'st?aper, suggests the most probable object of
i
negociation, t any, said to be going on between tha Noble
Premier and a distinguished member of the Bar, is to
bring about an arrangement which would prevent the latter
from succeeding to an office which would bring him more
into the Royal presence than might be agreeable.—lllorn.

Sphakiotes are incited by emissaries to make them-
selves masters of the crop of olives, which is more
abundant than has been known for many years.
The letters express surprise that the allied Powers,
who publicly disapproved of the expedition against
Scio, suffer such a state of things to last, and quietly
look upon disturbances excited by- a feW individuals
who, whether authorised or not by the President,
seek only their own interest. The Turkish autho-
rities do their utmost to protect the peaceable
Greeks, but not a day passes that some Turk is not
murdered in the country, and it must be expected
that the Turks will at length lose patience, and the
Paella (Mustapha) will not always be able to re-
strain the exasperation which such a state of things
