FROM TR' OARRTTE Di FRANC", DEC. 10. JASSY, Nov. Si. Field Marshal Wargen,tein arrived here the day be fore yesterday, with General Diebitsch, the chief of the Emperor's staff. The members of the Divan, and the principal public functionaries, went to the boundaries of the territory f the city to compliment the Field Marshal, and accompany him to his intended residence, but he refused all masks of distinction. Yesterday 7'e Deese was performed on account of the fete of the Grand Duke Michael. The metropolitans then gave a Russian dinner to all the Generals, the Clergy. and the Boyar Is. The city was illuminated in the evening. The staff belonging to the head-quarters now in this city consists of 22 Generals and 58 Office's. ' Unfavourable reports continue to be spread respect ing the situation of the Russian army on the other side of the Danube. Among other things it is said, that in consequence of e raising of the siege of Srlistria, the corps of Hussein Pacha, which came from Schumla, has joined the numerous garrison of the former place. The bad state of the roads must naturally have much influence on the movements of the twq armies.—Airst. Observer. SEMLIN, Nov. 25. Nothing is talked of at Belgrade but news of victories, and the Turks give themselves up to unbounded joy. They state, that the whole Russian army is in full re use, and closely pursued by Hussein Pacha, who has relieved Sili,tria. They give besides numerous details of the losses sustained by the Russian army, before and after the raising of the siege, but these accounts appear to be false or exaggerated. General Geismar, who has intrencked himself at Kalafat, will be very much exposed, because the garri son of Widdin, which has been reinforced by 5,000 men, encouraged by the continual accounts of successes in the Russian bulletin, will soon resume offensive ope rations. The Turks, though not in general very enter piising, are however very formidable enemies when fortune is favourable to them ; they prosecute their ad vantages without hesitation, or any of those fears which olten binder other nations from taking advantage of the most brilliant successes. Under the present circumstances they can easily pass , the Danube and harass the principalities in a more ef fectual manner, because the scarcity of provisions rea• Jers it difficult to provide subsistence for the Russian army, whose positions are very far extended.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Dac. 12. MOORE O. WHITLEY. The Vice CHANCELLOR made an order for the pay ment ieto Court of the sum of about 4,0001. and an appeal having been made against it, the case was ar. gued at considerable length before the LORD CHANCEL LOll, who this day delivered his judgment. The facts were briefly these: An attorney (we believe at Liver pool) borrowed two sums, one of 2 8004 and the other of about 1,4001. of a person deceased, and a bill of dis covery was filed, in order to ascertain under what cir cumstances the Money was advanced. The answer clis-1 closed facts which showei that the nature of the trans action was usuriou., inasmuch as besides the interest of five per cent. a bonus of 1001. was each time deducted by the lender, while the borrower also stipulated to re purchase the stock solo out by the lender, when required to der so. The lender dying, hi% executors called upon the borrower to ptycha%e the stock, which led to the l proceedings in this Court, and to the disclosure cf the °ch iratter of the dealings between the parties. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion, un.ler all the cis corenatances; that the defendant ought not t., be compelled to bring the money into'Court, even though he had at one time admitted vat he was indebted in the sum claimed. The debt was not such as co'hld have been enforced at law by the lender had he continued alive. The order of the Vice Chancellor was therefore reversed. COURT OF KING'S BRNCH. Dec. 12. COOPIR V. WARMLY. VERY INTERESTING CASE. From after eight o'clock the del rent avenues leading into the Court were so crowded, that there was scarcely any possibility of forcing a passage. It was with the utmost difficulty, with the most active assistance of constables and the Officers of the Court, that Connie), Jury, and witnesses, could obtain an entrance. When they got in many of them presented a most ludicrous appearance; some of the wigs of the Barristers were of, others half off; some Gentlemen had parts c.f their coats tore entirely away, and so on. Scarcely on any 'occasion was there sco great an interest excited. Almost every hospital surgeon and eminent practitioner in Lon don was present, besides an immense number of stu dents. The defendant appeared in person on the floor of the Court at a few minutes past nine; Mr. Brougham and ,Mr. Kelly, his Counsel. were also present. Sir James Scarlett, Mr. Pollock, Mr. Statism and Mr. Platt, were Counsel for the plaintiff. It was a quarter to ten o'clock before the Jury could gain admittance. On the names of the Jury being called over, only six attended, many of the others not being able to get near the entrance of the Court. A tales was accordingly prayed, and the number etude up ; subsequently. how ever, three additional Special Jurymen came ipto Court, and three of the files withdrew. The gallery of the Court was so much crowded be at* the trial commenced, that Lord TIINTIRD A RN said if any more persons a ere admitted be should feerbound 'to clear it altogether. The defendant laid on the fl ror a cast of a child, in the position in which a patient is tied when undergoing the operation of lithotomy. He had also a pelvis and case of instruments, such as were used on the occasion.. He applied to *Judge to be accommodated with a table; but his Ltrdship stated that, in consequence of the pressure at the doors, it was impossible for him to' have his wish met then ; but one was brought to him afterwards. Sir J. SCARLITT opened the pleadings. The action was for a libel published in the Land, imputing to the plaintiff, Mr. Bransby Cooper, nephew of Sir Astley Cooper, the performance of as operation unskilfully, and which was done in the presence of several persons. The defendant pleaded justification, contending that the publication alleged to be libellous was true. Sir JAMBS SCARLITT said he should now take the (violist; of the Court upon the d fferent counts and pleas, as to whether it "bag his or the defendant's duty to begin, urging that it was incumbent on the part of his client. The defendant contended the contrary, and cited the cases of Hodgk ns and Holdhani, Jackson and Hescot, and Biddell and Russell, in support of his proposition. The LORD CHIT! JUSTICII said, that as his decision would probably be made the ground of future ones. be should act give it without consulting with his brother Judges. His Lordship retired for that purpose, and returned in about ten minutes, when he stated his opinion to be, in which the other Judges concurred, that the task of beginning was upon the defendant. Sir JAHN{ SCARIAITT trusted, that being the decision of the Court, that whatever the termination r f this case might be, he should be at liberty to examine his wit nesses, for the purpose cf removing that brand which had been thus thrown upon him. The Loan Curie JUT= did not consider it neces sary tosive an opinion at the present moment upon chat part. The defendant then rose, and trusted that before he proceeded to address the Jury, the Court would order All the witnesses to withdraw. Sir J. SCANLITT had no objeition to the withdrawal of the witnesses who spoke to facts, but those who were to give opinions be con.idered it essential and necessary should 'amain in Court. , After some discussion it was agreed that the witnesses speaking to facts should withdraw, and those who was to give opinions should remain. The defendant then addressed the Jury. They ha already heard the nature of the action brought against him as the author and publisher of the Lancet. Guy's Hospital was not only an hospital for charitable pun poses, but also mended to the instruction of young students in the art of surgery. That hospital was founded by a single individual named Guy, who left funds to a considerable amount, so much so that there was at pro. sent 200,0004. as a fund. The plaintiff was elected oat of the lecturers of that hospital. The lectures he do. livered were public lectures; consequently public pre. petty ; and with such a feeling he thought proper to publish the particulars of such lectures in a publication which he commenced in 1825, and in order to coal& him to do so with accuracy. he employed several most respectable Gentlemen as reporters; men, indeed,whose character fur honour and integrity could be relied on ; It had been a subject of no inconsiderablediscussion in another Court, as to his right to publish those lectures. and he conceived it was only those who were fearful of their incapacity being exposed that wets most annum. to put &au the Lancet, of which be was the author.— He *ronld t ha gave ' Libel, and . and give such making some , the witnesses. Mc. Alderman resi 'e _ lege of Surgeons at Colchw my. and ' 'een times. Mr. Bransbv I have seen correct, that opinion man; I thin' second inci• atm talents ' sion—(The seating the depo,ed •._ that po-iti, was repe.. to be made gorget was scoop was also intro& requesting the operate explain the plexed ar , appeared not to have any scientific design. He intro. duced his finger with considerable force. He used the instruments an the ordinary way, but filed in light ing upon the stone, which was of course his in•entsop. The forceps did not enter the bladder 0 e first time. and witness thought the reason was that the ol.e►:ing was not sufficiently large, but believes there was an opening from the appearances which fullowed. The operator said that he Celt the stone when he passed his staff through the urethra, and c old also feel it when he passed the sound through •the incision i-i the peril se rm. He also said that Ire crrold not feel it with the forceps. The reaton of this was, that the forceps, if straight or slightly curved, would pass under the stone, which was high up in the bladder. Mr. Cooper tried several times to feel thte stone with his finger, and mea toed hisSil,er • wish other Gentlemen 'ogee if any of them had a longer finger. Taking all the circumstances into consideration, he could not say that Mr. C. performed the operation in a scientific manner. It was not perforated in such a man ner as the public had a right to exp. cr from a surgeon of Guy's Hospital. -The average tsn.e fir performing such an operation is about four or five mino es. I be lieve this operation occupied nearly an hour: Mr. Cooper • used the straight staff with a knife. When the operator found that he could not introduce the forceps with the first intent, he then made a second cot without the NA which ii a very unusual proceeding. The stoop . lis n eJ to extract fragments of a stone, which may have crumbled off it. There were no fragments in this case. Tee longest time I ever saw such an operation cccupy, ,aven in the most difficult case ,was within half an hoar. In these cases there were evident causes why the opera tion lasted so long. Those causes were, where the stone • was large, and where it would be dangerous to enlarge the wound for fear cf .injuring the rectum, and there she time was lost in drawing out the stone gradually. In the operation in question, the s:one was a small one, being not larger sthan a common Windsor bean, flat and round. It might have weighed about two dr.chms less, but certainly not more. Stones weighing seve ral ounces have been successfully removed. Unless the incision was large enough to admit the forceps, that in terment could not lay hold of the stone without also catching the integuments of the bladder. The stone lay above the pubes, for the sound always touched it ea being withdrawn, and it was extracted by pressure above the pubes, and with a curved forceps. If the operator h.d been aware of the situation of the stone, he should have taken these measures at first. He sbOilld have ascertained this in the first instance. Cross-examined by S r J SCARLETT—I rever saw Mr. Wakely before this day, nor .1-is attorney in the • cause before last night. Mr. Callaway was the amis. sant surgeon on the occasion, and witness believes him to be a man of skill. Witness has had several cases where the stone lay above the pubes, and has always extracted it in the manner silk!' was at last success fully adopted by Mr. P. Coo, er. The tut is a ade in the perins►sm. and the object is to get the knife into the groove tithe staff, by which time it has p,tiettated a portion of the uredia. Then the staff is brought for ward into a parrallel position with the knife, gild on a line with the ladder, in order to snake a larger loci. sion ; the staff is then allowed to remain, and the finger is introduced in order to ascertain the wound you have • made. SirJ. ScAncarr—Youthen introduce the finger and • feel for the stone, after finding which you introduce the forceps along the finger, and lay hold of the store. 'Witness—No. In order to do that you must make too large an incision, or else have an extraordinarily small pair of forceps. At the time of the operation I was sitting in a chair immediately behind Mr. Cooper. I never saw Mr. Cooper before that day. I have no doubt but that the first incision penetrated the bladder. I have read the report in the Lancet, but I I ever cot. responded with that publication. I take it in and read' it weekly. Sir J. Scsat.wr here read the sentence where it is said that the knife was cart lied on somewhere, and asked him whether that word, g , somewhere," did nr t mean to convey an idea that the knife did not go into the bladder ? Witness—l think it means to convey an ides that it might or might not have entered the bladder. I do not • know whether the operator would be the• best judge of whether the forceps entered the blatider or not; it would depend upon what sort of an operator he way— tA laugh). lam not prepared to swear that the tamps were a second time used with considerable force; would. neither swear to, nor contradict it; I mentioned mr opinion of this operation to several persons, but I cannot say to wh ins.
