Dispatches were this day received at the Colonial
Office, Downing-street, from Sir FREDIRICIE ADAM, at
Corfu, dated the 18th of August, but they contain no
political intelligence of importance.

It is said that the Greek Deputies in London have
received official dispatches, which confirm the defeat
of the Capitan Pach a, and the re capture of Ipsara.

This forenoon we received Brussels and Dutch Pa-
pers to the Bth instant, and Hamburgh Papers to the
sd. They state that there is an alarming• stagnation in
the trade of Germany, and that new measures are taking
for suppressing secret associations. The following are
extracts:

FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 3.
For some years past, a Committee, has existed, con-
sisting of Commissioners named by the differeht Ger-
man States of the second and third order, to consider
of means to encourage the ttade of Germany. They
have not published the result of their deliberations, but
it appears that the object of their commission has been
taken into consideration by the Ministers at Johannis.
berg, some time ago. The preservation of public tran-
quillity much depends on the revival of commerce in
the German States, where, it is feared, that extreme
distress causes general discontent, especially in Southern
Germany. -This state of things, it is apprehended, mat
lead 'to great inconveniences, both in amoral and local
point of view. The Great Powers seem to have at
length taken this affair into their consideration. The
apprehension that they may be adverse to the meeting
of the Commissioners, has ceased. It is therefore

hoped, that they will shortly assemble again, and that

measures will be adopted to put an end to the distress
which arises from the alarming stagnation of commerce.
The Diet concluded its last Session by a decision
which greatly interests this city. Under the Govern-
ment of the Prince Primate, the Jews had obtained
various advantages, which were afterwards contested
when Frankfort became again a free city. The Con-
gress of Vienna had charged the Diet to regulate the
civil relations of the Jews. The Diet delayed coming
to any decision, in hopes that the parties would in the
end make an amicable arrangement. Negotiations were
in fact entered into on the subject, and the Senate had
made considerable concessions to the Jews, but the
latter were not satisfied with them, and vehemently in-
sisted on having the rights of citizenship, which would
give them that of participating in the Assemblies, and
of becoming members of the Legislature, where their
numbers would soon have prevailed. The Diet has
decided by a majority of votes that the concessions
made by the Senate were sufficient, and ►hat they maul
be contented with them.

The Bishop of Basle, in consequence of the prohibi-
tion of the King of Prussia to his subjects to study at
the University of that city, has exhorted all Vicars.
General to take care that in the Theological Faculty no
secret associations, with a view to reforms, be tolerated,
and to warn those concerned that, in such case, conse-
cration and ordination shall be for ever refused.

It is stated in accounts from Baden, that secret asso-
ciations have been discovered in the University of
Friburg, and that one of the Professors is put under
strict confinement.

PETERSBURGH, AUGUST its.

The Impetial family have been residing, since the

15th, at Kameny Oshoco. Count Nesselrode is to ac.
company the Emperor in his tour in the interior of
the Empire.
The English Ambassador, Sir Chai les Bagot, had his
audience of leave on the 19th. Mr. Ward, his succes-
sor, arrived the same day.

Three new towns have been founded in the Province
of Orusk, in West Siberia t their names are Koliwant
Lchrim, and Batman!.

STOCKHOLM, AUGUST 24.

l'i►e two divisions of the Swedish Navy, formerly
called the war fleet and the galley fleet, being now united
in one, under the name of the Royal Fleet, his Ma•

i

jesty has ordered that from the lit January, 1894 thel
Officers of both shall wear the ohm uniform.
BERLIN, AUGUST 31.
The Grand Duke Nicholas has arrived here.
Certain information has been received at Warsaw,
fiorn St. Petersburgh, that the Emperor is not going
to the former city, and that the Diet will not meet this
year. The Emperor, after his tour to the Southern
Provinces, will return to St. Petersburgh, .by way of
Orenburg, and all the reports of his intending to go
out of the Empire are groundless.

Letters have this morning been received from Alva-
rado, dated the 14th of July, at which time. Mexico
was tranquil. The two Generals, QUINTANAR and Bus-
TAMENTE, who had been arrested at Guadalaxara, had
been sent to Mexico, u here they will be tried fOr at-
tempting to excite an insurrection against the existing
Government. Letters from Carthagena confirm the
defection of the Spanish General OLANETA) who.it is
positively stated had joined BoLIVAR.

The General Brock, Captain Eats, has arrived at Liverpool
from Paraiba, whence she sailed on the 24th of July. She brings
advice, from Pernambuco' to the 17th. Tranquillity prevailed in
the City; but the republicans were still carrying on therr projects
for separating the northern provinces of Brasil from the Empire.
CA RYA LHO, the President of Pernambuco, had issued an edict,
abolishing the Slave Trade ; and also a proclamation, calling upon
the northern provinces to join that of Pernambuco, and to ferns a
republic, under the title of " The Confederation of the Bunter."
The Buenos Ayres Argos of the 26th of June states, as a reason
for LA &RNA resigning his situation of Viceroy of Peru, .that as a
Royal Order has been received from Ring Fitanntams, declaring
that all acts of the Government of Spain, between the 7th March,
1820, and the month of October, 1823 (the period of the existence
of the late Constitutional system) shall be considered null and void;
that his own app ointment of Viceroy, having been made within that
period, is also void.
A letter (says the Argos of April 30) received at Buenos Ayres
from Lima, dated the 19th of April, states that BotivAa has paid
the navy In the Pacific up to that date, and that he was at Truxillo
with 15,000 men, and General Sucks at Hancho with 8,000.

We have authority to state, that Messrs. ROTIIICHILD will not
receive any sum of money which may be offered to them on account

promotion of a scheme from which the Public have already suffered
too severely.

Mr. CANNING has taken the grand new house which
forms the end house, and faces the Thames, of the magnificent rm•
of noble mansions recently built on the scite of old Richmond
House, at the end of Parliament-street, and nearly opposite to
Downing-Greet. There will be a fine terrace fronting Mr. Cuit-
xmo's town residence down to the bank of the Thames. Of all the
distinguished improvements about the metropolis, none has pro-
ceeded on a more splendid and solid scale than Richmond Terrace.
St. James's Park has been greatly improved. The
Duke of Yoax's garden presents a beautiful object, as it is now
open to public view ; and that part leading into the Green Park,
from St. James's Park, which was formerly impassable in bad
weather, has now become a favourite promenade. The Mall, and
the other walks, which were in a very bad condition, are under.
going a thorough repair.

IMPORTAST TO STABLE-KEEPERS.
Mr. Mayhew, proptitior of the King's Head-yard, Great Ilusso.
street, appealed against the bilietting on him one of the privates f
the uards. The parish-officers stated, that for the two put ytars
soldiers. had • been billeted on the yard, which had the wor4
"'Livery Stables" written ever the gateway, and that horses and
carts, which came. to Covent-garden with fruit and vegetables, woe
placed there fol.' the time being.
Mr. Mayhew stated, that the market-carts were metely put there
for-she nighi.- •Islo houses,ivere let out, nor were any spirit' tr
.Li ernori Wein the yard ; in fact, one part of it was let out as a
school, another as a wheelwright's, and the remainder in tenemer.ts
to families.,
Mr. HALLS was of opinion that this did not came within !Le
meaning of the .Ict, and therefore ordered the officers to find oat:
quarters for their soldiers.

Accounts:from Prussia state, that the crops, patti.
cularly those of rte, are most bountiful.
Duar..—Yeiter;lay morning a meeting took place at
Chalk Farm, between a Mr. J. V---, late of the 14th Ftoy.l
Lancer., and a Mr. of the Royal Navy ; the former sv,r
attended by Mr. S-- the latter by an Trish Gentleman. Af•
ter the first fire, an effort was made to bring about a reconciliation,
which was strenuously opposed by Mr. V. and the Gentlemen bein:
once more supplied wita pistols, the seconds were proceeding t;
give the signal to fire,, when a report of the approach of the Polio
suspended hostilities • the entire party precipitately took to the;
carriages and drove n, pledging themselves tb conclude the matte
elsewhere. ..The appnirance of the Police was, however, a mistake.
Amongst the improvements and alterations carrying
on at the Royal Rachange' is that of the Colonade patement beint
entirely relaid with broad Sags of Scotch granite. It is also in con.
temptation to remove the stones from the centre of the Quadrangle,
and pave it with the same materials.
It may be remembered that some time since, a man
of the name of Robinson, was detected offering a horse for sale under
suspicions circumstances in Smithfield,- and that he leas undergone
several examinations before the sitting Alderman at Guildhall; in
consequence of which, and by means of advertisements, the horse,
a very valuable one, has been owned. It had been stolen from the
paddock of Mrs. Downs,of Caney Hatch, the relict oftbe late .11r.

Harlow Bush Fair, which is held in Epping Forest,
was, as usual, numeroualy and respectably attended by the neigh-
bouring Nobility and Gentry, exclusive of visitors from town.—
Carriages were in waiting at an early hour, in Whitechapet, to con-
vey the metropolitans to partake of their annual treat of roast pi rk,
far which this fair is famous. A variety of games were carried on
to take in the unwary, and many fell victinis. A man of s; e ane
of Gibls, living at Theobalds, was defrauded of £lO and h:s watch
by the stale trick of pricking in the belt.
In consequence..of the expected diisolntion of Parlia-
ment, the candidates for seats in the new Parliament are beyond
all precedent. Not only the sons of Nobility, but the landed and
commercial interests are equally anxious • o become Members at the
approaching Silection,which has occasioned a most extraordinary
sensation with persons who have any interest in boroughs
Mr. Eley, the silversmith, in Lovell's-court, Paternos-
ter-row, while viewing the exterior of Richardson's. shew, found
himself next to a very genteelly dressed man, with whom he entered
into some conversation. The gentleman remarked upon the ex-
treme pressure of the crowd, and advised him to take care of his
pockets; and Mr. Eley on taking the hint, found that somebody
had been already sounding, as the flap of his breeches pocket was
unbuttoned. He thanked his new acquaintance for his advice, and
buttoned it up again all safe. At the next rash of the crowd he felt
a hand actually in his *pocket, which he Immediately seized and
held there ; and, to ills great surprise, found it to be that of his Well-
dressed friend, who turned out to be well acquainted with the City
Police—the notorious Bill lifoody.—He was committed to hard
labour for three months.

ACCELERATION or THE MAILS.—The attention of the
heads of the Post. Office department has been for some
time back directed to this interesting subject. Mr. GOD..
BY; Secretary to the-Post Office, with other official Gen-
tlemen, arrived at Inverness' on Monday se'nnight, from
Aberdeen, where they had previously been making ar-
rangements, and, having completed their purpose, they
returned to Aberdeen: That the arrangements, when
officially communicated, will be the best practicable for
public convenience, we entertain no doubt ; several bye-
' mails are to be established in the commercial oistricts ;
and the Edinburgh Mail is to be dispatched about nine
hours earlier, so that the ferry may be crossed at all
seasons with daylight, and by the steamthcat. This
will be a very great convenience also to passengers.—
The time lost at Wick will also be redeemed. It is not
intended that the alteration shall be carried into effect
until February neat.
During the reigns of Queen TLIZASETR and JAMES 1.
and even down to the time of CHARLES, St. Paul's w. s
the rendezvous of all the idle and dissipated persons of
the period, as well as of those whom serious business,
or a desire to learn the news of the day, led io
frequent as a place of public resort. Being. a p!• ce
privileged from arrests, it afforded considerable coi.ve-
n:enee to the first of these descriptions. One wilt le
scene of BEN JONSON'S Every Man out of his Humour, is
laid among the loiterers in the western and middie
aisle of St. Paul's, which Sir Fastidious Brisk affectedly-
terms Mediterraneo. It cannot be forgotten that there
Fri/stn./picked up his trusty follower Bardolph.—
Ossounng also informs us, that it was the fashion,
from the time of Jamas I. down to that of the Common-
Wealth, for the principal Gentry, Lords, Courtiers, and
men of all professions, not merely mechanics, to meet
in St. Paul's Church, by l I, and walk in the middle aisle
till.twelve, and after dinner from three to six, and by
attending to the news there daily current, they picked
up. .z reasonable -modicum of political information.
.• Tim Goose AND Via COCL—A goose is very gener.sPy accounted
an exceeding stupid creature, and the proverbial expression, " •tt
stupid as a goose," is frequently used to denote the extreme of stu-
pidity. That every goose is not extremely stupid, however. the
following occurrence, which lately took place on a farm at the h
of this county; will testify. A haughty dunghill cock took a parti-
cular antipathy at a fine goose, the guardian of a numerous brood,
and, accordingly, wherever and whenever they met, the cock nu-
tnediately set upon his antagonist. The goose, who had little than
with the nimble and sharp heels of his opponent, and who had . c-
cordingly suffered severely in various rencontres, got so clasper red
against his assailant, that one day,duriug a severe combat, be grasp. .1
the neck ei" his foe with bis bill, and, dragging him alma by nisot
force, he plunged him into an adjoining pond, keeping his bead, ni
spite of every effbrt, under water, and where the cock would have
been drowned,
had not a sertant,who had witnessed the rneeedin
rescued the humbled foe. From that day forward the goose (0.
ceived no mailer trouble lioni his enemy.—(4mgon, Con err.
