BUBADAGIII, APRIL 5.

(This is a fortified town in Bulgaria, at the foot of
Mount Hemus, with the Port of Kara Kermanam, on
the Black Sea.)
We have received (by sea) news from Constanti-
neple, stating, that the Russian Ambassador has for-
mally declared, that his Court neither takes, nor will
take, the smallest part in the revolt of the Greek,.
With respect to the affairs of the Greeks, we have
only contradictory reports; and their situation in
Wallachia and Moldavia seems not to be very agree-
able: they themselves, however, entertain the best
hopes. The Greek Patriarch of; Constantinople is
said to have excommunicated all the Greeks w ho have
revolted against the Porte; but the Patriarch of An-
tioch is stated to have been beheaded, as being in con=
cert with the Insurgents.

Thursday last, in the afternoon, the thermometer
in the Strand indicated 75 degrees, or Summer heat ;
yesterday morning, at Woolwich, there were films of
ice upon the ponds !

During a heavy thunder 'storm on the 26th ult.
at Longworth on the Moors, Lancashire, a fine youth
was killed—a man and a child were knocked down
at the same time, but not much injured.
Sunday, as a child, four years old, son of William
Sewell, who keeps the Admiral Harvey public-house,
at Ramsgate, was watching his father while descend-
ing Jacob's Ladder, the child overbalanced himself,
and was precipitated to the bottom, a depth of sixty
feet, when his brains were dashed out, and he ex-
pired on the spot.
A singular accident occurred at six o'clock on
Monday afternoon, in Salisbury-street, Strand. The
horses attached to a hackney-coach which stood on
the coach-stand facing that street, in the Strand,
taking fright at a great crowd of persons which ac-
companied an Irish funeral, ran down Salisbury-
street with the greatest speed. No person could stop
them until they ran with all their might against the'
iron balustrade which terminates that street, and
fences it froin a large timber-wharf beneath, near the
banks of the River. The concussion was so great
that the pole of the carriage broke, and the coach
was left behind, but the horses, together with the
iron railing and a large portion of the stone work,
were hurled down the wharf, a depth of between 40
and 50 feet. The horses were so seriously injured, that
the owner was obliged to have them killed yesterday.i

A few days since thirty fellows armed with fire-
arms, assembled before the residence of the Pound-
keeper at Tinahoe, near Waterford, Ireland, and after
firing several shots, one of which perforated the door
and entered the room in which were the Pound-
keeper and his family, broke open the Pound, and
drove away 36 cows and three horses, which bad
been placed there under a distress for rent.

The Select Committee on the existing regulations
relative to the making and the sale of bread, report
to the House of Commons their opinion, that for one
year at least Parliament should impose no restriction
as to the denomination of loaves, or their weight.
They do not recommend any alteration of the law,
so far as it relates to,the adulteration of bread, other-
ways than by increasing the penalties. They desire
also, rather whimsically, that bakers shall keep legal
weights and scales in their shops, to weigh bread
when required, though they are at liberty to make
and sell it of any weight.

Abatements and other kindnesses have been afforded
by the undermentioned Landlords to their Tenintry
in the County of Waterford :—Sir CHRISTOPHER
MUSGRAVE, Mut. Myrtle Grove; JOHN MUSGRAVE,
Esq. Ballyntailor ; WALTER GILES, Esq. Two-mile
Bridge; JOHN HELY, Esq. Cappoquin.

REDUCTION OF Pool-RATES.--The inhabitants of
Greenwich have been enabled, by good management
alone, to reduce the annual charge to the Parish for
the maintenance of the Poor, from £15,000 to £9OOO.
The number of the poor is not diminished, yet by
their own acknowledgment, they are • better fed,
clothed, and lodged, under" the present system, than
they were formerly.
