Corfu.
The troops at Corfu were compelled to fire on the rioters, many of whom were killed. The mob invaded the Jewish quarters at Corfu, disarming the troops, and murdering seventeen jews. The Governor and Mayor of the town have been removed. Germany and Italy are supporting England in assisting to suppress the persecution of the Jews in Corfu. During the outrages twenty Jews were killed. The populace of Corybinco is emigrating. Turkey and Greece are supplying food to those expelled from the island. The situation at^Corfu is desperate. The populace is so infuriated against the Jews that the latter are unable to bury their dead without the aid of the soldiers. The Times denies that the decree expelling the Jews from Bussia has be* -n suspended. The outrages on Jews at Corfu continue to be committed by the Greek mob, who to-day killed two and injured many others. They also pillaged the houses, which were afterwards destroyed by fire. Martial law has been proclaimed there.
