COLOCOIt OA THE. MEEK' CHIEF:

Who would believe that he is the chief pro-
rioter of all the dissensions in the Government,
bat he foments them by 'every means in his
loWer ? • And yet it is all too true. He never
tits out unaccompanied by two or three hun-

died armed Albanians, whom he pays well to
protect his person. If he were the true friend
:o his country that he wishes to be thought,
what would be have to fear ? The other mem-
)ers of the Government do not hesitate walking
every day from the Assembly at Thamala to
Poros--eolocotroni would not walk a hundred
cards without his butchers, as they are termed.
Wherever he goes he quarters his soldiers on
,he inhabitants. These wretches frequently con-

ducted themselves so cruelly, that when the'pea-
sants at Thamak heard that Colocotroni was on

his way there a great number of them fled and
deserted their houses. There is a small village

between Thamala and Poros—no sooner did its
peaceful inhabitants hear of Colocotroni's arrival
at Thamala, which was about three miles distant,
than they all abandoned their houses, taking
every thing with them to Poros. I had fre-
quently been to this village before, and was not
aware that it had been deserted, till one morning
in one of my usual rambles, I went into the
house. of a peasapt, where I had occasionally
taken an egg and a glass of the " via du pays ; -
and finding no one within, and remarking also
that nothing remained but the bare walls, I was
induced to enter several others, every one of
which I found as completely deserted. On my
return to Poros I was informed of- the cause of

this desertion, with which I have already ac-
quainted. you. You may form some idea of the
property Colocotroni has amassed by rapine and
plunder, when I tell you that he• can afford to
keep several hundred Albanians in his pay, who,
it is well known, will alway 4 side with those who
pay them best, whether Greek or Turk, no
matter. In justice, however, to his son, I must
say he is worthy of a better father. He is a
brave spirited young man, and has distinguished
himself on every occasion. He is always fore-
most in the field, and is an honour to the cause
he is fighting for.

A SUPERLATIVE CRITIC.—The Courier
of Saturday last pronounces Sir WALTER
SCOTT'S'" Life of NAPOLEON" a catch-penny,
of course it must have read the work or it would

not have ventured on so pointed a decision.
Strange to say, however, the book (consisting of
nine thick vols.) only came out on Saturday
morning ; the criticism must have bean written
at about one o'clock on the same day, so that
each volume must have been carefully perused
and commented on in the short pace of four
hours. Certainly criticism founded on such
accurate, lengthened, and extensive acquaintance
with its subject, must be invaluable.

Died, on the 28th of June, at Moate, near
Athlone, county Westmeath, in Ireland, HENRY
HUTTON, .Esq., Lieutenant-General of the
Forces, and Colonel in the Royal Regiment of
Artillery, after a long illness, which was borne
with ..exemplary fortitude. General HuvroN
was the son of the late Doctor CHARLES HUT-
ToN, formerly of Woolwich, and latterly of
Bedford-row, London. He has left an afflicted
widow and one only son. The General was in
the 66th year of his age, and has died universally
lamented by his friends and surviving relatives.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

This amusing little theatre opened last night
with Dryden's celebrated Opera of Arthur and Em-
meline, which has been revived (the first time for
some years) for the purpose of introducing Miss
Kelly in the character of the blind Emmeline. Miss
Goward performed Philidel, (the Ariel of the play)
and with such spirit that we were almost reconciled
to the loss of Maria Tree, who, as one of Shak-
speare's or Dryden's spirits, used to look the incar-
nation of romance. The Opera was splendidly got
up, and, assisted as it is by the vocal talents of
Thorne, Pearman, and Phillips, bids fair:to become
popular. It was succeeded by a new piece entitled
the " Cornish Miners," the plot of which was some-
thing to the following effect :—Kynan and his son
Stephen are miners, and have been lately cast in a
law suit, in which Trevannion, another miner, was
the plaintiff. Both Stephen and Trevannion are
attached to Anne Oswald, whose mother prefers the
latter because he has been instrumental to: her sup-
port; Anne, however, prefers Stephen,. and in a
situation of great hazard, when, from some defect in
the engine the water rushes in to the spot where
Stephen is at work, descends, drest as a boy, into the
mine, and with some difficulty, and after encounter-
ing a savage miner, who is an agreeable compound
of the footpad and misanthrope. saves him, and is
of course ultimately made' happy with his hand.
Such is ,the structure of the " Cornish Miners,"
which, aided by the abilities of Bennett, Bartley,
Smith, and Miss Goward, was highly and deservedly
applauded. Curtailment, however, we should add
will do the piece no harm.

BRANCH-BANK OF ENGLAND AT LI-

VERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 30.
The building in Hanover-street, to be appropriated
as the Branch Establishment of the Bank of Engs
land in this town, is to be opened on Monday.—
Although the final alterations and additions will not
be completed for some weeks, or perhaps months,
such is the anxiety of the Agents to commence
operations, that the paintees, glaziers, and joiners
are now (at a late hour) busy at work, finishing the
front, or main apartment, which occupies the full
length of the house, and is fitted with substantial
counters and desks, in a plain but costly style. The
building was formerly a private dwelling-house, of
considerable antiquity, and remarkable for its neat,
chaste and elaborate stone frOnt, probably the finest
in this. town. But the stone was of a mouldering
quality, and time had effaced much of the sharpness
of the masonry. By help, however, of chissels, files,
and scraping instruments, put in motion by the electric
touch of the golden talisman of the. Bank Directori
(who purchased the property), the whole was po-
lished up and freshened, and a facing of new stone
has been supplied wherever it was found that the old
material was too much decayed. The front is en-
riched by six Corinthian pilasters in renew, with
bold capitals. These rise to the top of the second
story, supporting an entablature, over which in an
attic story, with empannelled blocking. Under four
of the windows in •the second story (the space under
the centre one being occupied by the pediment of
the door) there are rich hanging wreaths of fruits
and flowers, carved in the stone, in alto relievo.—
These, owing to the goodness of the stone; remained
fresh and uninjured by time. The whole of the
interior has been (to use a homely phrase) gutted,
re-planned, and fitted up with new window-frames,
doors, and plaster-work, and the workmanship is
costly and appropriate. The iron safe, or strong-
house, is, we under Stand, below; and is impreg-
nably secured by gates and doors•of the same ma-
terial ; and there have alreafiy been deposited in it
a ponderous consignment of the precious metal from
Threadneedle-street. Besides the back apartment€
of the old building, extensive new premises are in
course of completion in the yard behind, which is
strongly walled in. These are for the private use
of the Agents ; and the whole establishment be-
speaks an abundant possession of effects. The
situation of the Branch-Bank is not, we think, very
caciscri, as regards the centre of business,
happilY
from which it is (as yet) somewhat remote; bat the
proprietors appear to be sanguine of their success,
and we hope the commercial community may enjoy
all its promised advantages. The opening of the
establishment will form a prominent event in the
annals of this great emporium of commerce. ,

LITERARY GAZETTE.---The last number of
this popular Journal is quite a gem in its way.
In addition to a well-written and early notice of
Moore's new Tale of the « Epicurean," it gives,
gratuitously, an extra sheet of matter, which is
filled with extracts from Scott's ‘, Life of Na-.
poleon, (a book scarcely yet published.) It is
to this indefatigable eagerness. for ,Providing en-
tertainment, as.well as to Mr. Jerdan's taste in
selecting.inaterials, that
the present wide
.eircu-
lation of his Gazette is to be attributed. We
must not 'omit to add that the supplemental.sheet
that
contains a striking, and original poem by
prince of punsterS, T
Thomas Hood, whose:Merits
Lord Lyttleton must have anticipated" When he
wrote

(‘ A veil is Myra's summer wear,
But I prefer a 'Rood."

AN E C OF NAPQLEON.—Above the

town of Ajaccio, on one of the eminences that
surrounds it, there are. the ruins of a small for-
tress called Fortina. "If I had but four thou-
sand francs a-year," said. BUONAPARTE to the
narrator, ",1 know what I would do with it."
" 'What would vo;) do ?" " I would build a
house on,that spot." " Why so ? it is a desert
spot." " Yes, but I shouldthen command the
whole town." Is not the entire man evident in
these few words ?—Literary Chronicle:

ANECDOTE OF SIIERIDAN.—With the death
of Poi expired the liopes of his party, and Sheri-
dan was soon after under the necessity of re-
slgning the temporary but impo;tant advantages,
which the lucrative office' of Treasurer of the
Nary had procured hiin. Who that witnessed
it can forget the costly and luxurious feast pro-
vided for royalty, on the momentous event of
the christening of Sheridan's grandson ; the
water pageant on the return of the party from
Greenwich' to Somerset-house; and the salute of
artillery' that welcomed its landing ? The entire
profit:3 of his office, during the period it was
holden by him, barely sufficed for the occasion ;
and he retired from place, as lie had entered upon
it, impoverished and indebted. It was, however,
more than ordinary assurance that enabled him,
in evidence of his " integrity and disinterested-
'ness," to boast to his constituents that " he was
even poorer when he quitted -than when he had
accepted office ;' and it required no common
gravity to restrain a smile at the applause which
attended the assertion.—Nero Monthly Maga-

The following circutristance occurred last week
at the residenve of Mr. W. Steers Spence, aue-
tioneer, of Wimborne.
Hearing a singular noise
behind the wainscot of one of his chambers, he
removed a small portion of it, and instantly a
flight of bats rushed out, on which an attack was
made ; ninety of them were killed, and it is
imagined nearly half as many 'escaped. The
building is ancient, and once formed part of a
religious house.—StafArd Advertiser.
