The Princess G-Amtzin . —With reference to , a statement recently made at the Marlborotigh-stre ' efc poluseroffieey to the effect that the goods of the Princess Gialitzin , nee j 3 ou .

are altogether incorrect ; . and that she remains Toluntarily in this country because she has abjured the Greek church , and become a member of the Church of England . The Priacess concludes by " saying i- ^ r " Therefore , sir , I solemnly denounce every one of the statements of the aqouymous female , of respectable appearance , and . of Inspector Webby as perfectly false— - as a comedy played in the saored vaults of justice , and as a trick , the hidden cause for' which I keep for myself .

; d ^ HE . ; FJLriiXrRE oi ? Mr ; iScoijt -Russell . '—A meeting of-the ; Eastern Steam . Navigation Company was held ortrTuesday , at which it was , stated that no difficulty can- arise with respect to the property / & c , comprised in the vessel as it stands , the directors having taken the precaution to secure in their own right thegrqund on which the works , have been conducted . The other contracts , it is also believed , are in a position to insure the interests of the company , even should Mr . Rpssell ' ^ affa irs , eventually pass into bankruptcy ;! The total amount of these engagements were put down at £ 832 , 250 , of which : Jthe' company have advanced £ 292 , 290 ,- leaving' aboi ^ £ 4 : 6 , qOO to be paid o ^ the completion of the , can % ac { % , $ he , security ' possessed for then

J ^ usseAl , or * . which £ 10 per share has been paid , making aa ^ aggregate ' of £ 20 , 000 , and which were deposited in . the , hands of the company . Some time previous t ? o the stoppage , the company found gi « eat delay-in the execution of the contract ; and in anticipation of a bfeak-down , and wishing to ^ vertifc , they ; made 8903 © prepayments to Mr . Bussell on account of wages . Suspension OB 1 A . Greek House . — -The suspension has beon announced of Messrsi Gauabouroglou Leno audCo ., one of the Greek houses , ' engaged' in the Danube corn trade . Theu-difficulties are attributed to the oiroumstauoe of many of their cargoes being detained Sti the Danube , and their friends express confident autipipattcms that . the assofca of the firm will
bo sufficient ultimately to meet all claims iu full . Their uncovered liabilities ate , only abqttt 4 : 20 , 000 . The Mexican Bondhojcdbrs ^ through their comrnitteo , announce tlmt tho President of Mexico has issued a decree establishing a new flnanpial board of seven members , four of whom , inohiding ihe oWr-» aan , are to bo noiainfttod by tho Government , the ^^ . tfytko national oi-editora , tho sixth by the mauufaptuvors , and tho sovonth by tho agriculturists . The 11 th paragraph of fch . o 1 st article or the decree euu-5 ?^ v ' w ° ng thti fwnotionb of the board that of / W ^§ PJ 5 j ^« potion of tho duties assigned to tho ioreign < tebf ; , and of remitting it to London to such n £ * SL ^ " *? Tt » oord may appoint . " r « Sf SW * 1 ^ * RA ^ W i ^ The half-yearly SS ^ S ** ^ WSS' ^^ w Published , and contain * « omo points of gonwal iftterost , owing to tho dispute
between the directors of the line and those of other competing lines . " , The . accounts for , the half-year ended 3 lst Deoember , 1856 , show that the capital espetaded to the . 30 th June , 1855 , was £ 10 , 905 717 5 s , 3 d .. ; the payments naade duriDg the half-year to 3 lst December , 1855 , were £ 155 , 802 8 s . 6 d , ; making the whole capital expended £ 11 , 061 , 519 18 s . 9 d . The balance of e & rniligs beyond expenses is £ 320 ^ 773 8 s . 10 d ., being larger by £ 14 , 003 8 s . 2 d . than the balance at the end of 1854 . This balance , after being applied to the payment of rents and other fixed charges , interest on the mortgage debt , , and to provide for dividends on the various preference stocks , which altogether amount to £ 185 , 461 4 s . 9 d ., - becomes 7
reduced to £ 145 , 3 ^ 5 s . 5 d . " , Various circumstances have combined to keep down the dividend to a lower rate than the directors anticipated . " The available balance , however , admits of dividends upon the origjnalfStqci at the rate of 6 per cent , per sj , unuua— - oi-, for the half-year , 3 per cent . ; on the . B stock 3 | per cent , for the half-year—making 6 per cent , for the year 18 35 ; and upon the A stock 2 £ per cent ., for the whole year 1855 ; and tke Hireetors recommend that dividends be paid at these rates , leaving the small surplus of £ 112 4 s . lid . to be carried to the next account . But if the company had also keipV . all that they have earned , instead of paying over about £ 31 , 214 to the London and ITorth Western and the Midland Companies , under the agreement with those companies ( known as the Gladstone award ) , and other
£ 29 , 867 to other railway companies , under what was ternled the ' octuple' agreement , ' the dividend on th-e original stock , after payment of preference , dividends and mortgage interest , would then have been at the rate of about £ 5 8 s . per cent , for the whole year 1855 . Both these agreements terminated with the year 1855 . " The di rectors complain that the London and N ~ orth Western , the Midland , and the Manchester , Sheffield , and Lincolnshire Kail way Corapiinies have begun an unfair competition against them ^ and have endeavoured to deprive them of a portion of the traffic to Manchester and tlie vicinity . At the eomnoenoe paent of the present year , deputies frorn . the Conipetixig railways catae to an arrangement , to . which the Great Northern directors refuse to . agreej though sanctioned by . their deputy , alleging that , their representative was not empowered to conclude any such terms .
The Counties and Bohoughs Police Bill . — Meetings have . been , held . at . Westminster and Manchester against the bill ,. The Lord Mayor of York presided over the former , which was addressed , amon g other speakers , by Mr . Eoebuck . At both meetings it was contended that the effect of the bill would bea dangerous centralisation ; and motions expressing that opinion were carried . A deputation from the Westminster meeting has waited on Sir George Grey , wlio refuses to withdraw his bilL ......
Attempted Suicide by a Liverpooi , Merchant . — Mi \ William Tathani > a > Liverpool merchant—a young man with a , newly-married wife—has cut his throat , and is not expected to recovei ' . The event is stated to have been caused by heavy losses—the' firm with which he was connected suffering severely by tile failure of an extensive soap-boiling house , which suspended payments a few days ago , and also by a Bristol house inthe African trade , which also stopped payment on the same day .
