The annexutlon Of the 1onian Islands to
the Kingdom of Greece has at length become
nD accomplished fact The young king Of
the uellenes-this Is now the official tital OF
the sovereign Of Greece-haa arrived In Cor
iu, the capital Of the islands, the British Lord
High COMMISSIONER has delivered the part
iug address, and the British protectorate has
beeu declared to be 1t M end. Considered
by itself, the New York Tribune sass, the
event is Of very little Importance The k'ug-

It ia, In the first place, very striking e1-
ample Of the great significance which the
principle OF nati0ualities has alre tdy attained

| possession for England, Who, therefore, used
I'LL her influence to make the lontans satisfied
With the British rule, and to break theiT spi'
tit Of Independence. Yet, such ls the insu~
perabls force Inherent In nationality, that,
! Notwithstanding all the auuoJances thtS
had to RutIer tf1ul the Government OF En-.

United and more determined In their oppose

| demand Of independence. One Parliament
after auother declared for It, bT unanimous
vote. However often aud however rudely
theT might uc dissolved, Immediately after
lie mcsfing Of any new Assembly It renewed
tl,e demand Of the nati,n The result shows
that the IouIsns have at length beea Success

THE DECISION IN THK ALEXANDRA
CASE.

The long-expected decision OF the Court OF
Exchequer in the Alexandra case has at length
been delivered. The Alexandra, II will be
remembered, had been seized by the British
Government as forfeited under that statute OF
the Foreign Enlistment act which fcrbids the
fitting ont and equipping in English ports OF
vessels for bellgerent purposes against Powers
with which England is at peace, The claim oil
the English Government was tried by Jury
which decided in favor Of the owners and against
tho Crown. The Attorney General thereupon
applied for new trial, on tho ground that the
Lord Chief Baron, who had presided, had mis-
directed, or imperfectly directed, heJuy as TO
English law prohibiting the unlicensed equip
nent of vessels for the wsrlike purposes OF
foreign States.
II was upon this application Of the Attorney
General for o new trial that the Court Of Exche
quer delivered Judgment on Jan. IL. The
Judges Of the Court were equally divided in
their opinions. two--the Lord Chief Baron
Pollock and Baron Brsmwell-being against q
new trial, and Barons Channell and Pigott in
favor Of it. The former held that the statute
being penal, must be interpreted strictly; aud
that therefore, in the present case, il must be
shown that there was a complete warlikc equip
ment. The two latter, on the contrary, were of
opinion that the intent of the accused parties
was the chief point to be proved. 1t is custom
ary in the English Courts Of law, in case the
opinions Of the Judges are equally divided, to
avoid a deadlock by nominal concession on
he part Of The youngest member Uf The Court.
Accordingly Baron Pigott withdrew his judg-
ment, and the application for a new trial was
refused The result Of this Is that the Attorney
General wiz bring the case, on appeal. before
the Court Of Ezchcquer Chamber, and if there
40 satisfactory verdict should DO obtained,
probably before the House OF Lords.
Practically, the decision of the Court OF
Exchequer will, therefore, be Of little avail TO
the Rebels; for it ia not likely thar By the time
that the case reaches the House Of Lords, any
Rebel Government will he left in whose service
the Alexandra could be employed. In another
respect, the decision is, however, highly sug-
gcstve. IL shows in what o dcplorablo con
dltion the English law respecting tho condition
OF neutfas must be If 1t says nothing clear and
definite upon q point that may a. any time
endanger the peace Of the world.

A DAYS GOOD NEWS,

Among the items OF news which the Tele.
graph brought us yesterday were the following:
]. The Rebel raid across the Tennessee river
in North Alabama has resulted in two defeats to
their forces at Athens and at Florence on the
Goth inst, and their discontinue is probably
conclusive.
9. Gov. Andrew Johnson has ordered an elec-
ton for County Officers by the loyal citizens Of
Tennessee.
3. The Rebel grand Army Of the West has
fallen back from Dalton, Georgia. Col. Burke
of the 10th Ohio has been forty-fve miles south
of our lines below Chattanooga, but could find
no enemy with whom to communicate. :
a. Gen. Banks at the instance of the Free
State General Committee, has ordered that an
election for Delegates to Convention 70 frame
new State Constitution, as well as for State
Officers, shall take place on Washington's birth.
