The Augsburg Gazette of the 25 th insi . publishes a letter dated Trieste , 2 ikh inst announcing the arrival there of Colocoiron ! , sent by the King of Greece on a special mission to the King of Bavaria . It was expected that the elections would be concluded throughout Greece in a few days .

T-BR Frankfort Journal states , that the King of Bavaria had authorised subscriptions to be made tbroajcbem his kingdom for the benefit of the Germans who had been expelled from Greece .
[ What a pity but that the King of Bavaria had the pleasTire of authorising subscriptions for a few mnre of his beggarJj cooniryzaen .

Bermuda has suffered dreadfnlly with the yellow fever- The Bock , and other hsopitals , were crowded at our last dates , when its victims in Ireland Island had been more than 100 , and in St .

From these papers we give the following extracts : The Elections—The elections for State officers ha ^ e bt , en held in Georgia , M ary land , Pennsylvania , aac New Jersey .
In Georgia and Maryland the Whigs have been successful . In Pensylvania it is doubtful which party has the legislature . A majority of the Congressional representative * are certainty Democratic . In Kjjw Jersey , where the WhigB had the ascendancy , they have been competely overthrown , and Democrat } is now triumphant . Instead of the Whigs having a majority , as they had the last session of their legislature , they have now only about one-third » f the members elect . Gov £ bsd « Jokes , of Tenessee , had published his message to the Legislature of that state . In it he deprecated ike doctrine of repudiation , and strongly enforced the prompt meeting , on the part of the state , of all it .- engagements .
The New York Herald- of the 4 th inst ., says—** The mails this morning bring acconntsef * frost * at Charlsion . There is a great difference , however , in the 'first-frast . ' The one in question is a white frost , the operation of which is to open the bolls , throw the cottoa out to the sns , and thereby briDg it to maturity eaiKer . It is a hard or * black frost * which stops the developement of the cotton , and stains it . This has not yet oceorred . " A New Toww hi Florida- —The former inhabitants of Port Leon , in Fiorida ( one of the towns which was almost entirely destroyed by a hurricane and inundation on the 13 th ) , have selected a new site for a town , s-ome two or three miles higher up the St . Mark's rmr , which is t © be called u Newport . " It is now being laid off into lots , and several warehouses will Boon be completed , ready for the reception of goods .

Ford would not give up Joe Smith to be tried in Missouri , they would , assisted by such aid as they could obtain . They also resolved to require of the Mormons , blood for blood ; and agreed not to obey the Mormon county officers . A crisis is evidently at hand .
Lt ? . ch Law ih Peksstlvahia , —Militabt called out . — We learn that in Butler , Pa ., the citizens have been thrown into a state of intense excitement by the holding of several meetings in the county , for the purpose of organizing a force sufficient to remove by violence the Indian , Samuel Mohawk , now confined in Butler , for tbe murder of a family , an d whose trial has been postponed by the Court for three months . Tae malcontents wanted to : get him o u t of prison , give him the semblance of a trial , and deliberately murder him by hanging ! The reason assi gned by them for this course is that the people of the town desired the acquittal of tbe prisoner , of whose sanity at the time of the murder much doubt exists in the pablio mind . The Sheriff has ordered the c&ptainB of the various volunteer companies to be in readiness to march at a moment ' s warning , to defend tbe prison , should the mob b 3 so reckless as to attempt carrying out their scheme .
[ Such doings as these bring disgrace upon Democratic principles ; and do more to retard the progress of liberty than all the persecutions that tyrants have recourse to , to stop the march of human progression . The Americans seem to be desirous of emulating tbe crimes of the Roman rather than the virtues of the Swiss democrats . Well ! if they will imitate the brigands of Rome , and the scum of Italy , they may yet find a Caesar to curb them !] Atrocious Mttbdebs . —The last Liberty , ( . \ io . ) Banner says : —A man by the name of Asher , shot

On the 8 vh instant the parties met in the woods by themsrlves , the quarrel was renewed , when Hutton started towards Asher with a large stick of wood in his hand . Asher to defend himself , ( as he say ? , ) shot him through the body , and then went to a magistrate and made the above confession . Both of the men were over sixty years of age .

The Picayune of the 5 sh says : A keen north breeze sprang up on Tuesday ni ght , which continued till Wednesday afternoon , when it was succeeded by a thick close rain . Yesterday was the first of the year which told of winter ' s coming . The air was of a bracing , invigorating character . At Mobile , on the 5 ih inst .. there were five new cases of fever reported to the Board of Health .
The accounts from Alabama are alarming . In Lowndes , Montgomery , Clarke , and Monroe , numbers of old settlers have * een carried off . In Hay nevilleand Claiborne it ha * been unusually malignant . In the latter , out of 1 , 000 or 1 , 200 inhabitants , over sixty were tiown at one time , and many died . During the week ending S ^ pt ^ mber 30 , the total number of interments in New Orleans , of persons wno had died by yellow fever , was 118 . At Weftfield Sccietv , near Middletown , Ct . Mrs . Bacon , wife of Ebenezer Bacon , was brutally murdered while the family were at Church on Sundav . She was stabbed in various parts of the body , SDd her head fractured by blows in several places . The perpetrators of the horrid deed carried off about eighty dollars in easa . Two men named Roberts and Bell have been arrested on suspicion .

AS&TON-UNDER-XiINE . —Several of the millowners , to their praise be it said , have given the list prices ; whilst others of them , up to the present , refuse to do so ; and oae firm in particular , in order to prevent their hands from getting that support which is indispensably necessary , to enable them successfully to struggle with them for the same rate of wages as many of the other masters are paying , have circulated a report that their men are not on strike for wages , but to compel them , the masters , to take into their employ a man whom they discharged for spoiling his work . This is false . The
uuth is that the men are willing to go to their work , the moment the employers wiil give them the list price . We are happy to state that Mr . Wood , of Glossop , has given the power loom weavers in bis employ an advance of one peuny per piece this week He "was paying one farthing per piece less than the other masters before . By this advance he is paying three farthings more ; we EBppose to make amends for the wages his workpeople have suffered by working for less than their neighbours . Also the Droylsden masters have given an advance of three farthings and a penny per piece , and an advance of one shilling per week to the card room hands in both of the above cases .

The Schoolmaster Abroad . —The Nation says" Twelve months ago and all the world could not produce a People so ignorant of their own history . To-day every man is familiar with it , or Ionrs to be so . Its . castlea , its ratbs , its battle-fields , have become classic and sacred ground . Its triumphs are sung in- racy melodies in every cottage , farm house , and mansion through the land , and in many a drawing-room . The young Conservative , hot with the fire of youth and the instinctive love ef country , takes its history to his heart , and in his bigoted College he sighs in secret ' to strike one blow' for his country . Old age has grown young again over the chivalrous tale of our struggles , and p r ayed G od that it might not descend into the grave till it saw the redemption of our country .
The Mitre a Nightcap . —The other Sunday , Henry , Lord Bishop of Exeter , according to the Western Times " took his seat upon his throne , d r ew the curtains around him , and made all snug for meditation . " Dr . Coleridge , of Thorvertos , preached . At the conclusion of the homily , the congregation , expecting the customary episoopal benediction , remained sitting . A breathless pause ensued . All eyes were turned towards the throne- Had anything Happened to hia Lordship 1 The verger crossed over , and timourously rapped with his mace . There was another paus ? , broken by—a snore , which proceeded from the episcopal snuggery . The offic : al knocked again , louder ; the response was repeated , more sonorously . Another knock : a downright
whack : and up jumped the Lord Bishop ; shook himself , and pronounced the blessing . The Western Times infers that the right rev , prelate was asleep . Now , whether this story is " a thing devised by the enemy , " or not , we do not know . Nor , supposing it to be true , do we know which to blame the bishop , or the parson . Prelates are human ; narcotics will affect the nervous system : and even episcopal vigilance must yield to opium . Whether , therefore , Dr . Coleridge mesmerised Bishop Pkil pot t s ; o r whether a voluntary dismissal of ideas produced thiB effect ; or whether it was owing to a devout abstraction of the mind from sublunary things , consummated in a holy trance , we are quite unable to say . The supposed circumstance of a bishop ' s sleeping in church , to have been published as a piece of news ,
must have been regarded as something extraordinary —we doubt if it is so . An episcopal snore in church certainly is an uncommon acoustic phenomenen ; but if prelates do not sleep in the church , certain questions that we would ask are not easily answerable . How came it that Christianity was unknown in the mines and factories ? How was it that tho extent ef destitution , metropolitan , and provincial , h as b e es but lately brought to light \ How happened it that the first appeal on behalf of the houseless sleepers in Hyde-park to public charity was made by tho Times ? Whence arose the sale of pews and sittings ; blow iB it ithat the M superior clabBcs" drive to church in their carriages , and leave their servants on tbe box outside ! Verily , too many of their lordships must have been sleeping in tbe church . —Punch .
Hospitality . —Hospitals are some of the most admirable institutions of Christian philanthropy , and especially those which are established for ( ho relief of the feick and maimed . " They rise , like shelters in affliction ' s storm , And welcoming thepaliid , tott'ring form , They soften pain—arrest tho parting breath , And save the sufferer from untimely death . " There is one reflection , however , which is sure to riBeontbis subject , viz ., that sickness and suffering in their cure , are not so deserving of notice as they would bo in their prevention . Tnis latter desirable object has been gained in tho simple compound of Old Parr ; and the time , perhaps , is not far distant , when there will be little or no necessity for the institution of " Hospitals . " ;
Destructive Fires . —Gn Saturday night , shortly after twelve o ' c l ock , tho police constable on duty discovered a quantity of smoke issuing from some of the windows of the premises No . 3 , Oxford Arms Passage , Warwick-lane , New-lane , Newgate-street , in the occupation of Mr . Nash , manufacturer of British plato . On the doors being forced , the whole of the lower part of the building was discovered in flames . The interior of Mr . Nash ' a premises was almost wholl y d est ro yed , together with the furniture and the greater part of the valuable stock , estimated at nearly £ 3 , 000 , the amount destroyed supposed to be worth £ 2 , 000 , the sum insured in the Sun Fire Gffioe . Some carnage waa sustained to the roofs of No . 2 , adjoining ; of
the stables of the houses of Mr . Edward Sherman j and of Mr . Matthews and Mr . Waight , meat salesmen , No . 11 , and No . 12 , Warwick-lane , while the furniture was damaged by water and removal . Last evening , about seven o ' clock , a fire broke out on the premises known as the " Ostend' rabbit warehouse , Newcut , Lambeth . Within five minutes after its discovery the w .-iole contents of the shop were in flames . Information was quickly forwarded to the firemen while engaged at a fire which had taken place about an hour previously in some carpenters ' workshops at the back of the Surrey theatre . Engines were brought into operation ; but notwithstanding such timely assistance , before the . flames could be subdued , the stock in the shop , as well as Borne household furniture of considerable value , were
entirely destroyed . The Nottingham Review states , " that the late Dr . Parry , of Bath , had at one time under his care two patients who had attempted , to out short or to ease a paroxysm of gout by plunging the afflicted foot into cold water . This gave instant relief to the pain , and in both instances the inflammation presently abated , but in both also palsy of oae half of the body occurred in a few hours afterwards . " This terrible affliction with its train of evils could not by the martyrs have been in the most remote degree contemplated . Cruel as the Bufferings are to those that endure this sad malady ; consolation is derived from a knowledge that the improvements in medical Bcieuce have led to the discovery of Blair ' s Gout and libeumatic Pills , from the use of whioh the afflicted have ever fouad reilef .

A -Steamer on Fire in t « s River , —Beiw ^ en the hours of five and six on Sunday »?™ rning , a fire broke out on board the Ailua Craig stean ; ship , Capfr . Dawson commander , moored off the Leiih and Bi-r wick wharf , IroDgate-svairs , at the Tower . The steamer , which was ' of between 200 and 300 ons burden , arrived off the wharf mentioned from Yar - mouth on Sunday afternoon , havitig a heavy cargo on board , consisting ; of several hundred sacks of fl "* ur , several tons ot ' i mustard , besides bales of si ! k , wool , cotten , and goods of ev 3 ry description . Tne fire waa discovered by tho Captain of the Princess Rojal steamer , whjch was lying alongside , who porcieved tho smoke ! issuing through the deck . At the time the crew of jthe Ailsa Craig were fast-asleep below ; th &y w * re instantly alarmed , and the hatahway torn off to eet at the fire , whu > . h was foun j to ba ' Of fearful extent—the whole of the cargo appearing to be in a blaze . No snon ~ . r had the-alarm - beon
raised than the brigade floating-engines w « re unmoored and convoyed to the fire . After ihe un ^ mes had been got into operation , the branches were "directed into the hold , and tdrrents of water poured upon the burning cargo , which not having the desired effect , holes } were ? cut in various parts of the deck so aB to reach the firo , but even this w . ts of little avail , Ihe-fl-imes still raging , and witli facreased fury , for several hours . Several a tempts were made to get at the fire by firemen descending into the hold with the eug . no branch , but they were unable to remain many seconds in consequence of ¦
the oppressive beat a ? id suffocating ffl'ivia that arose from the burning mustard . The only ch&nco remaining to save the ship was either to skuttlo her or fill the hold with water . Already was there ftiur feet of water , which had been pumped in by the floating-engines , and it was determined that they should continue playing until the entire of thocar ^ o was flooded . This , although hoc accomplished uiitil near eleven o ' olock , ; exiiuguished tho flunes ; but the damage done iu the meanwhile was v * ry considera b le , bo much so . indeed , that the vessel will have to go into dock ) to repair . The loss , it is said will amount to £ 1 , 000 .

Jesxis Christ versus Louis Philippe !—The Reforme publishes the ; following paragraph : — " M . Hubert , a boot maker , living in Rue S ; . Louis , bad placed m the interioriof his shop a wooden figure of Christ , with all the instruments of the passion . On the glass bell which ; covered the pious image , his customers read the following inscription , written in large letters . —* Hoi died for having preached equality . ' M . Gromfier , commissary of police cf the iith district , convinced , no doubt , thai Christ , who said that the last thing on earth would be the first in heaven , had not preached in favour of equality ,
presented himself , without any previous summons , accompanied by two agents , at the domicile of the bootmaker , tore off the inscription , and carried away the seditious Christ . M . Herbert was absent at the time , but learning on his return what had passed , he hastened to lodge a formal complaint in the hands of the Attorney-General . Let us hope that thiB functionary iwill see that prompt and severe justice be done , and j that , following the precept of the Gospel , ' Restore to Caesar what belongs to Cj » 3 ar , ' he will order the figure of Christ and the inscription to be returned to M . Hebert . "
Coroner ' s Inquest . —On Saturday an inquest was held at the Green Man Inn , Putney-heatn , before Mr . Carn-r , coroner for Surrey , on view of the body of Ajr . Richard Wills , aged 38 , a commercial traveller , who put a poriod to his existence on Wednesday last , on Putney-heath , by discharging the contents of a pistol through his head , under ciicumstances of a very lamentable and determined nature . A pocket pistol of moderate size was found tightly clinched in his band . ! Tho upper part of his mouth was much shattered . } Some friends of the deceased spoke to his desponding state of mind for some months past . His relations were most respectable persons , residing at Taunton , in Somersetshire , and he was in very good circumstances . Mr . Shillito , surgeon , of Putney , | said the bullet had passed , through the brain , lodging at the back of the skull . Death must have been instantaneous .

Jack in a Fix .- ^ -Aj rather ludicrous oircumstance took place a few days since . A party of saamen belonging to the Vanguard were returning stores preparatory to the paying off the ship , when one ot them wagered that he would squeeze himself through the ring at the end of the main-yard by whioh the studding-yard is projected . All hands immediately dropped work to witness the interesting performance , and Jack having inserted his feet first , got the ring round his waist . Unfortunately , h o w ever , his shoulders were too broad , and his arms too lusty , to
permit him to pass Entirely through the ring , and after several unavailing attempts , he admitted that his fair proportions had defeated him . Jack , therefore , proceeded to "jback out" of it , but alas , his hips prevented him . j In this " fix" he remained for some time , and amidst shouts of laughter from his messmates , which were renewed again and again as he struggled and writhed to escape . Ultimately , however , a shipwright was sent for , and having removed the roller , j Jack was released from this peculiar kind of " laying out" on the yard .

THE CASE OF POISONING BY SULPHATE OF POTASS . ObVMRA . L CRIMINAL COURT , Monday , OCT . 30 . . Wiu iam Hapnes , aged 25 , described in the calendar as an oilman , was charged with the wilful murder of M ary , his jvife . by administering to her estcesaive doses of sulphate of potass , in consequence of which she died on the 28 tu September . Mr . Pkende . r « 2 asi conducted the prosecution , and Mr . Wilkins andf . A * ' - Wyl . de defended the prisoner . Mr . PkendebgAiST stated the fapts of tha 0039 which have already b ' eec published , aud called a nuinbar of witneasess in support of the charge , who were ably cross examined by Sir ; Wilfcira . the for the defencs
Mr . WlLKiNS then addressed" jury , and commented severely on tJ ^ e manner in which th 3 prosecution had been conducted . and * also upon the medical evidence which had been ^ iven , by a man who possessed neither diploma nor license , aud who had suffered his feelings to be so far existed in the case , that be might be called the prosecuting doctor . He then put to the jury whether there was any proof that the apoplexy o" which the deceased diedfcad Oeen produced by the administration of the sulphate of potass . They had no evidence as to tha woman ' s babita } they had heard that she was predisposed to apopleay ; they had heard that mental anxiety and that intemperate ^ habits would pro-. ace apoplexy , and yet no evidence ba " * been given as to the previous habits of the deceased . Suppose she had taken these medicines of her own accv *<* ,
how csuld they find the prisoner gnilty ? Medieal mi '« wera frequently in the habit , where former partu- ritious ha . been attended with extreme danger , of producing abortion . But in this case the woman was not pregnant , and the probability was that she knew it , and had most likely informed the prisoner so ; and if the medicine had been given to prevent conception , that was no crime . Could they believe that the pri-. saner had intended to kill his wife ? What man in the kingdom could say that the probable result of admisifcring two ounces of sulphate of potass wonld produce death ? Under the circumstances , he submitted , that it waa impossible that the jury could convict the prisoner of the crime of murder . As to what Mr . Pickering had seated about the prisoner ' s dislike to
children , he did not believe it . The policeman was present the whole time , and he had not beard it * The counsel for the prosecution bad not alluded to it ; he bad not beard it . Mr . Pickering , who had been examined before the Coroner and the Magisstrate , could not have forgotten it ; and yet be had never mentioned it before . He did not believe it He wished ha could have laid before the jury , from some of the witnesses for the prosecution , what had taken place in the prison when tho prisoner ' s child had an interview with him . Ho wished they could have seen how tbat child had clung around him . That was the voice of nature , and nature never lied . Gould they
btiiioye the evidence of Mr . Pickering as to the cause ef death ? He did not pretend that he bad any diploma or tbat be bad undergone any examination , but he asked them to believe him as to the cause of death on tbe strength of his having for thirty years experimentalised on human existence . If they bad any donbt as to tbe cause of death they must acquit the prisoner . Liw was stited to be the perfection of reason , and was it not most unreasonable to put the prisoner upon the same footing as the midnight assassin . He had always been kind and attentive to hia wife ; and whatever migbt be the result of this inquiry , he hod , in consequence of her loss , already suffered more than it was in tne power of any human band to inflict upon him .
Several witnesses were called , who had known the prisoner for some years ; all gave him the character of a very kind and humane man . They were cross-examined by Mr . P / ender ^ ast . Mr . Justice Wighthan summed up , and said that if the jury oheuld be of opinion that the prisoner had administered the drng to the deceased for the purpose of procuring abortion they must find him guilty , av « n if they ahould bu of opinion that he had no intention of killing her ; that was if , in their opinion , tbe adminis tration of the sulphate of potass had been the cause of death . It was for them to Bay whether the medical testimony was sufficient to satisfy them , that the administration of the sulphate of potass had been the cause of death ; if they were not satisfied on that point , they must acquit the prisoner . The Jury tben proceeded to deliberate on their verdict , and having retired for three quarters of an hour , returned into Court with a verdict of—Not Guilty .
The prisoner , who is a good-looking young man , waa dressed is genteel mourning . He seemed deeply affected tlnring the whole cf the proceedings , and frequently shed tears .

London Corn Exchange , Monday , Cct , 30 th . — During the past week , the arrivals of all Grain * dp to our market , with the exception of those of Irish Oai * , of which upwards of 22 , 000 qra were received , were on a very limited scale , and by no means in first-rate condition . The receipts of English Wheat were tolerably good , particularly from " Essex and Cambridgeshire . The stands exhibited a fair average number of samples , the best of which were taken at full prices ; indeed , in some instances , an advanoe of Is per qr was obtained for the best white descriptions . In the middling- andinferior kinds not
much business was doing , yet previous rates were supported . The demand for Foreign-Wheat s wa 3 slo w , yet the currencies underwent no alteration . Ia bonued sorts nothing was doing . Malting ; Barley sold freely , at fully last week ' s prices ; but in grinding and distilling sorts next to nothing was . doing . The Malt trade was , on the whole , dull , but we have no change to notice in the value of this article . Owing to the large arrival of Oats , the inquiry for thorn was slow , yet full prices were generally paid Beans , Peas , and Flour , were held firmly at late rates .
London Smithfield Cattle Market , Mond a * , Oct . 30 th . —From our northern grazing districts , as well as from other parts of England , the arrival of Beasts were again extensive , and , for the most part , of middling quality . The unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering , and the large quantities of dead meat on Bale in Newgate and Leadenhall Markets , produced considerable heaviness in " the demand for Beef ; indeed , for some hours , it was in a state of complete stagnation , notwithstanding the attendance of butchers was numerous . A few of the very primest Soots found buyers , at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight , or from 3 s 8 d to 3 i lOd per ^ lbs ^ bus the general quotation of Beef declined quite 2 d per 81 bs , and nearly 400 beasts were turned out unsold . The numbers of Sheep were not very great , yet they were more than
adequate to meet the wants of the dealers . The Mattou trade ruled excessively dull , and the currencies were quite 2 d per 8 * 3 beneath those realized last week . We scarcely ever recoiled so dull an inquiry for Vi-al , the value of which receded from 2 d to 4 d per 81 ba . Some small Pork sold freely , and other kinds of Park slowly , at barely late ratea .
