ODESSA. Amen 6. Commerce, which has declined here ever since the beginning of the Greet insurrection, and seemed in danger of being cohletely destroyed, has recovered since it was known at the squadron of the three Powers was soon to assemble in the Archipelago, to itdopt vigorous measures against piracy, and maintain leith the dignity becoming those Powers the neutrality which alone can restore the peace of the Rest. fthe premiums of insurance are already lower, and If" 1 doubtless decline still more, in • consequence of the johteral opinicn that the scenes of carnage in Greece, will soon be stopped by means of the neutrality alone, without the use of hostile measures towards either of t'te belligerent Powers: for though at the first sight tbe, obstinate re>istance of the Porte gibes reason to apple-, bend some dangers, and the declaratiop in favour of the Greeks eventually stipulated by the Allies may be the result, a.person must be little acquainted with the symptoms of politics to believe that the Greeks can expect more than this walk of good will, and that the Powers will draw the sword against the Infidels in case of the condnitation of hostilities between the Tucks end Greeks. Are not all the political efforts of a State, when it forgets its own interest, a kind of political suicide ? And what interest can France, England, or even Russia, bare in making war on the Porte, without any hope for r any of those nations to govern Greece. No, it is the in-, *rest of all to restore tranquillity in the East without any hostile measure, and to solve the difficult problem 'Without drawing the sword. As the instructions of Ail* iral Heyden, which are generally known hete, say--: N The Rear-Admiral will go to the Mediterranean, and will announce in every port on arriving in the ArchipeI that he comet, Ist, to protect the Ranieri cons. /*nee; 2d, to Maintain the strictest neutrality between itit contending parties ; this document of the Russian tairbinet will clearly shoot the intention carefully ii avoid whatever might appear like an armed intervention between the two parties." When we consider, besides, that Admiral Heyden is  will be tried by a Coon Martial ; that, in consequence of these strict principles of neutrality, the Russian Admiral is not to permit a Russian merchantman, sailing under the protection of the Russian fleet, tobe searched by either of the contending parties ; it must be con• fessed, that at the moment when such orders are given (from which the instrustions of the squadrons of the other Powers in the Archipelago cannot differ, since they are to act simultaneously), the treaty signed by the Allied Powers cannot have been drawn up with any other intention than that of re-establishing tranquillity in the East by all imaginable means consistent with a strict system of neutrality.

LITTER C.—Curious coincidences respelling Me Sere, a s connected truth the lamented Princess Charlotte. —Her mother's name was Caroline, her own name was Charlotte; that of her consort Coburg ; she was marTied at Cailton House; her town residence was at Caanelf,rd House, the late owner of which, Lord Camelfotd, was untimely killed in a duel ; her country residence, Claremont, not long ago the property of Lord Clive, who ended his days by suicide ; she died in Childbrd, the name of her accoucheur being Croft.--r • Mirror. An Inquest was held at the Coach and Horses, Hoz. eon New Town, on the body of James Hamlin, ten years of age, why took a loaded pistol into his father's garden with intent to shoot sparrows. when it accident. ally went off, "Ind injured him so severely, that he died tin about an hour. Verdict—Accidental Death.' Yesterday morning, about 12 o'clock, a young man, employed at the building of the New Post Office,"while at work at the top of the building, unTOrtunately slipped, and was precipitated head foremost to the ground. The head was literally daahed to pieces. He was a fine looking young man, and bad only been married three weeks. At the moment that the body Of the abov*i young man was carried to Bartholomew IZospital, Charles Richards, another young man, expired there'. It appears Richards was in the employ of Mr. Waite, Gray's Inn Lane, and while carrying a bundle of leather across the shop, he fell through a trap door, and was so dreadfully injured that it caused death. • About six o'clock yesterday eyening, a fire broke oat in the premises of Mr. RIDRE, livery stable keeper. on Gulick-hill, Watling-street , and with such poen. gious fury did the flames burst forth, that the whole neighbourhood was iastantly thrown into the greatest alarm and terror. Fortunately the horses and carriages that were in the building were removed without sustain; nag-much injury. The hay and straw on the ptimisei, which burnt rapidly, rendered it almost impossible for any one to advance to save the property. Engines were promptly town the spots and a good supply of water having been obtained, the flames 'were subdued, but not until they had destroyed the greater part of Mr. Rider's stables. The preei4"es adjoining were not in; • jured by the fire, but the prii3erty in themwas sr damaged by the water. The accident is said, WEI been occasioned by some person going kin 4tl with a lighted candle. .. .

TOE LATE MURbERS.—SOADWELL POLICE OCFICt. —With a view to identify the articles found in the privy of Mrs. Vermilloe's house, with the suicide Williams, the Magistrates ordered Mrs. Vermilloe, John Harrison the sail-maker, and Margaret Jewel, the servant of the late Mr. Mart, to attend yesterday, and give such information touching them, as lay within their knowledge. Mrs. Veen:Noe stated, that' she had often seen tray..sers of the description .produced -before the Ma.. histrates, but she could not pretend to say that she ad ever before seen the identical pair in question._ Sailors in coming from the East Indies, used to wear such trowsers on board ship, and they generally had them on when first landing; but she thought they were too shabby for Williams to have worn when on shore. He was always very smart in his dreis, but particularly so when in the house. John Harrison said, he had frequently seen the trowsers throwing about the lumber-ro, In in the Pear' tree public-house, where seamen, on landing, used to throw off their sra apparel, deposit their chests, and other lumber. He could nnt, however, undertake to say that he had ever seen them worn by He might have worn them, but he had never seen them upon him. Margaret Je4vell said, she knew nothing of the scissars pi-educed. Iler late mistress had always need a much larger kind ; and had she ever had those in question, she certainly must have observed dons; and with respect to the part of the hussif keimilolhe pro. fesscd equal ignorance. . •• .

ACCIDENT.—An Inquest was held at the Five Bells, Oldford, on the body of Master/MIN HUNTER, aged 16, who met with his death by the going off of a pistol. It appeared. that the deceased was the son of a most distinguished family resident in Scotland, and who has been for some time at a seminary of the Rev. Dr. Lindsey, of Bow, where the fatal accident happened.--Basil William Mare, a young Gentleman educated in the same seminary, said, the deceased and himself were pupils in Dr. Lindsey's house. The day previous to the fatal accident, the deceased and himself procured fire-arms to shoot at a mark in the fields, for which purpose they borrowed a pistol, powder and ball. Witness put in the powder, and the deceased loaded it with hall : previous to their going out, about four o'clock in the afternoon, they retired to their chamber, and took the pistol with then: ; the deceased lay on the bed, and WaS amusing himself by playing on the fiddle. Witness laid the pistol out of his hand on the scat of the window, while he sat doss n and leaning his head on his arm, and went into a dose, from which lie was shortly afterwards' alarmed by the report of a pistol close to him, and, on starting round, he perceived the ci,lce:ssed lying on his bed, and weltering in his blood. The pistol was disI charged, and lying by his side. The blood was gushing copiously from his temple, and the bed was covered with blood. The deceased was then dying. Witness then sent for Dr. Matthews. Dr. Litalsey s housekeeper, on hearing the report of the pistol, came into the room, and witness pointed out the dreadful situation of the deceased, and she instantly sent for Mr. Ricardo, a surgeon, who came, but the deceased was quite dead. Witness apprehended that the deceased removed the pistoi from the window, and placed it by his side, witti the-muzzle towards  Wm, and that whast playlntt ca the Elle, t!. of the bow might have touched the triv, cause:l the pistol" to go off.
