CASE OF DR.. KING.

A correspondent OF the Journal Of Commerce,
writing from Athens under date Of the 18th Of
September, says that the American trigate
Cumberland, Commodore Suingham, arrived
in that port on the l0.h of July, and left it on
the 10Th Of August, the object being TO look
after Dr. King. The San Jacinto had also
been there, by order of the government, having
on board Mr.. Marsh, our Minister at Constan-
tinople, who was charged with the investiga
ton of DR.. KS grievances. She came August
LIST, and departed August 2lst. Mr.. Marsh
was busily engaged during the whole time in
the investigation, and mad an interview with
Paicos, the Minister o. Foreign Affairs, in
which he stated that having no credentials to
the Greek Government, he could not treat with
it. His report will be sent to the United
States. He was presented to the Queen Re-
gent, and invited to dine at the palace.

ATROCIOCS ISLANDER,

We have been frequently upbrai3ed for
speaking harshly of the English government.
Many Of our English friends have insisted That
the English papers never speak harshly of us.
We knew better, for we were in the habit of
seeing such paragraphs as this continually in
the English papers. 1t is perfectly right for
them to SANDER us, it seems, but we must not
venture a word in reply:
From the Brighton England Herald, Oct 2.
The Spanish governmenthas sent 2000 more
men to Cuba; but body of desperadoes is
again collecting below New Orleans, and Bro
ther Jonathan does not disguise his intention
TO take Cuba by any means, fair or foul.
worse population than that of the Southern
States of the American Republic does not ex-
list under the sun, nor, with the word liberty in
their mouths, are there more despotc despera-
does on the earth. Their object in endeayor
ing TO obtain Cuba, is to re-estabish slavery
and the slave trade, which fourshes at this
time as much in Virginia as on the coast of
Africa. The Virginians are said to eat their
slaves, which they do not, indeed, do literally;
but they breed and raise slaves for New Or
leans, and the Alabama and Mississippi mar
kets, and they eat and live by these sales more
than by the exhausted soil of the State. The
code NOR, or black code of New Orleans, is
the most infamous ever enacted, and iflhe Anne
ricans obtain possession Of Cuba, it will be
established in that island.

TWENTIETH OF OCTOBER.

had demonstrated, and had formed convention
with him. This convention he soon violated
upon which Admira! Codrington, command
inc the English fleet, wrote to the Duke OF Cia-
renee. afterwards William ", representing the
state Ct things, and asking for leave to attack
the Turc Egyptian fleet, which TO the number
of ITO vessels was lying in the harbor CT Nava-
rino. The Duke was al the time Lord High
Admiral. He had been raised sailor, and had
all the bluntness incidental TO a man who had
been halt his life at seq. His laconlc reply TO
Codrington, with whom he was on terms OF
great intimacy, is well known. 1t consisted OF
three words only, viz: 500 II Ned" Codring-
ton, accordingly, with his own fleet, that OF the
French admin al, De Rigny. and that of the Rus
sian admiral, sailed into the Bay of Navarlno,
and anchored in the midst Of the Turkish fleet.
The entrance TO the harbor is so narrow, that
only two ships can 90 abreast, but the bay IL
self is one of the finest in the world, and could
shelter thousand men of war. Codrington
sent a flag on board the Turkish admiral. 1t
was fred on, and two sailors killed. This ser
we'd as signal for general engagement. In
three hours the whole fleet, 10 sail, was utter
" DESTROYED. Some were sunk, some driven
on shore, aud some burnt TO the waters edge.
This battle arrested the progress of lbraham,
and had the most important influence upon the
affairs Of the country.

SMALL NoTEs.-The excitement on the SUBJ
ject of small notes, which commenced with the
explosion of the Bank of the Union, and which
has shaken confidence in nearly all other indi
vidual Institutions an caused daily run upon
the Banks and the Exchange Offices, was re-
newed yesterday by current report that the
"Potomac Savings Bank" Of Washington had
failed. Large numbesr Of te-hoders focked to
the Exchange Offices with notes of that and 9TH
ersimilar Banks; but the gates were found clo-
sed. The Brokers were also alarmed and le-
fused tp deal in any notes except those issued

The MYSTERY EXPLAINED.-On the corner Of
4:h street. on CANDLES Hill workmen are en- ,ased
upon the foundation of structure the purpose of
which has puzzled the wits of many persons Some
have supposed that the State City authorities are
erecting fort on that elevated ground, command
ing, does, favorable position to guard the city
against the approach of an enemy by the river, the
canal, either of the James River bridges Others
have supposed that some astute and enterprising
person, who has discovered great scarcity of water
in this vicinity for milling purposes, is about erect
ing wind mill for the accommodation of the CITY
in the meal line. But these and other conjectures
to the object of the structure are wide of the
mark. 1t is true that the idea of fortress is not
altogether out of the way, for the design OF the
building is castle or cottage for a gentemaus re-
sdence. Mr.. w. A. Pratt, our enterprsing d 4guer-
reotyplst, having purchas a lot at that eligible
situation, has commenced the erection Of a cottage
for his own private residence. 1t is to be, as the
foundation shows, something altogether unique in

nprS,Sc or THE THEATRE.-Monday night,

OPENING OF THE Enthusiastically night.
a. we briefly announced yesterday. the theatre
opened brilliantly for the season. There was
large and discriminating audience, and all
gave evidence of high degree OF enjoyment
from the evenings entertainment. The ar
rangement Of the theatre, and the caste OF the
company, are altogether admirable, and such
as must give general satisfaction, and STAND
the test Of the severest critic. The new iea-
lures introduced by the conversion OF the p"
into parquetle, and the appropriation oil Inc

is an admirable one, as the specimen OF their
acting on Monday night gave abundant eVi-
dence. both in 1.-THE male and female depart
ments. Our limited space denies us The priv
lege OF an extended critique upon the several
actors Some are very good, and all are high-
" creditable performers. MIR. w + Smith,
the very counterpart, both in looks and acting,
of the famous Burke, is destined TO be favo-
rite. no less dsting uished than the one he so
much resembles. Mr. Marchant is pleasing
and spirited actor. Mr.. Fisher shows FAM
liarity with the duties of the stage; and Mr..
Gile is u young actor Of promise. Miss Kate
Reynolds has personal beauty, is hand
some actress, and sings sweetly. Mrs. Carpen-
ter PLAYS well, and also exhibits a talent for
singing. Miss Raymond has fine person,
performs well, but needs improve ment in Ut
terance. Her words flow too rapidly, and are
at times rendered indiStinct and confu sed by
an overweight afiectation of voice. A little
meditation or atf.ctation of voice we admire
in some persons, but too much effort to i'm
prove upon nature mars the beauty, clearness
and effect of language. Mrs. and Miss Cap
pell, who are known to our play going COM
munity, exhibit improvement since their for
mer appearance upon our boards. The re-
mainder of the company had no opportunity,
on account of the limited number of charac-
tiers in the two pieces played on Monday mig ht,
10 give specimen of their abilities. Butwe
have favorable accounts of Mrs Ward, and
others, who ere still 70 come forward TO under
