• ii eking that the . rsottisr to which he had so often\ii frunded on fallacious views. It was said thatico guns ts ere not planted for the purpose of prodoe. death, but in the hope that they would keep off offen ders; and it was further observed, that it wobld be as iniproior to prevent a maa from putting glass bottles • on his wall, as from setting spring guns. The two cases bore nn resemblance to each other. The glass bottles were used to prevent an entrance ; the spring guns to inflict death when the individual had entered. His Lordship would tell them what the law of the subj was; and it he felt any difficulty in applying it td tile present case, his Lordship would be pleased, he hoped to put it in such aahape as would procure hereafter a. satisfactory decision of the great question. This.was case vet y tit lor bringing the great question into agita, lion; for it happened that the plaintiff entered the grounds for a most . innocent purpose. The facts were shortly these :—lt happened that a person of the name of Morgan lo‘t a pea-fowl, whirls flew over several . garden:, and :it length alighted in that of the defend ant. Toe owner was anxious to recover the fowl, and the plaintiff volunteered to bring it back. He got on th • defendant's wall, and called out whether there was any person who would drive back the fowl, anti render his descent unnecessary ? Receiving no answer, be jumped down, anti received a wound from the dis charge of a spring-gun, which had been the cause of much suffering to him, and which, if PROVIDENCE had 110 t protected him, might have occasioned his death.— The L•!ar fled Sep jeant then proceeded to oh erve, that Ore defendant, he believed, was in the habit of culti owing fl swers. Ile did not censure him (or seeking to preserve them ; but the question was, whether they should be irezerved and protected to this extent— whether the defendant, for that purpose, should be allowed to set a spring gun in a garden not connected Kith his dwelling-house, but, on the contrary, at a considerable distance horn is Surely it was not the, law of England to prevent every petty injury by placing persons in peril of their lives. if that were indeed our system, then it must soon become a system of blood. If the laws were not sufficiently severe for the preserva tion of property, there was a Parliament annually sitting which was competent to the alteration of the law, and the making it more effective; but he could not agree that every man should have a right to form a law for himself, and to take steps which were likely to create injuries infini ely out weighing any mischief that he could apprehend from a trespass. Mr.JusticeLtrrortt ut inquired whether the Learned Counsel on the other side was prepared to take a verdict, and to allow the facts to be formed into . a case, for ultimate decision in the Courts above? • *r. Serjeant Pits, answered, that he was ready to agree to certain facts, and to allow a verdict to be taken for, and subject to the decision of a special case. This was undoubtedly a question of very great importance. There was not any case that he was aware of which went directly to the points now under consideration, • therefore it was desirable that it should assume the shape of a case. He could assure his Lordship and the Gen ' tlemen of the jury, that the defendant felt nothing but the deepest regret on this occasion ; and if he were found liable in point c f law, he would most cheerfully bow to the decision. Evidence were then called to the following facts : Nary Collins proved, that Eird, the plaintiff, got into the de fendaet's garden to secure a fowl belonging to her master, Mr. Chargan. Thomas Llewellyn proved, that the defendant told him he had a spill gun in his garden. Witness advised him to give notice of the fact, which defendant declined. John Gill also pcoved, that he advised the defendant to put up a notice, without, however, stating his opinion as a lawyer, on his right to use a spring gun. Defendant did not put up a notice. De fondant told him to say nothing about the spring gun. Mr. Serjeant Witt)* stated, that the boy's injuries occiaioned him to be confined for six weeks. Croker proved, that he saw the plaintiff on defendant's wan, and beard him call out before he descended. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages aeso, subject to a special case,' with liberty to enter a verdict for the defendant, should the de cision on the case be against the plaintiff. The facts agreed to, and on which the case is founded, are—lit, That the plaintiff entered the garden innocently; 2d, That the de foulant bad a spring gun there; That the defendant gave no notice of baying the gun there ; 4th, That he endeavoured to conceal It; and sth, That the plaintiff was wounded. • .

Mt lj lion, among a patios of out contemporaries, to' and ridicule that distinguished individpal (than a More amiable ma in private life, or one of a nature or mere affectionate heart does not exist), most unmeasured oblorpy. Errors and faults lie has had, and those in such abundance and of such magnitude, that we are neither disposed to palliate, much less justify them. But his greatest political ,enemy, (and a private enemy he never can have tad), and his most envious professional rivals rnu.,t acknowledge, that: his errors are those of the head only, and that they even spring from a generous heatr, over-attached to his party, and carrying the views of his more cautious " putters on" into rash and desperate and frantic extremes. All these most excep tiobable points, however, may easily be seen to spring from the feelings of the gallant and devoted soldier, despising all personal consequences, and rushing into unwise, ill-advised, and perilous measures, because he mistakingly believes it to be his duty so to do.— As an ample set-off against those faults, let his revilers remember, that Sir Boyar WILSON has given proofs of tried courage and conduct in many a well fought held ; and that, not having ever had any very extensive command, he has seen more military service, and that perhaps of a more varied kind, and on a more exten sive scale, than most General Officers in Europe have ever had the opportunity to do. We• remember the 'interesting expression of the feeling that prevailed on both sides of the House of Commons in his favour, at the close of last Session, and observe, with pleasure, that while he is sensible of his errors, his military ta lents and experience aro yet, we would fain hope, in store for his country, if ever the occasion for calling them into action should arise. We do not believe that Sir ROURT WILSON, if he has accepted a command in the way alluded to, would 'have done so in opposition to, or defiance of, the Go: vestment of this country. How the difficulty of re-' cruiting in army on these shores, consistently with our relations with Turkey, is to be got over, we profess ourselves rsither at a loss to divine. We are no fiiends to the evasion of the law, either municipal or inter national. but we must in the present case say, that if theri were any expedient by which the Greeks could be I assisted. without any direct violation of the faith of Treaties, we should heartily rejoice, and herein we but echo the wishes of the whole nation. Is there no po litical Mr. CHITTY, who could manage a little pious special pleading in such a case, where, although our best affections are one way, we very much fear • the law is quite another ? This forenoon we received the German Papers to the 12th inst. If any doubt existed as to the retreat of ISRANIU PACHA to Tripolizza, it must now be re. moved, as even the Austrian Observer acknowledges it. The number of troops landed at Navarino, is sired in this Journal to amount to 7,000, including 600 ca. IL'alry. The following are extracts r VLZNNA, AUGUST 1. The Austrian Observer contains accounts from Con stantinople of the 21st of July, giving the particulars of the late events in the Morea, and the naval actions. These accounts, however, contain hardly anything new ; after describing the advance of Ibrahim Pacha from Navarino to Argos, it is added," Onthe 25th, Ibrahim] with an escort of eighty horse, advanced to the gates of Napoli di Romania, whether merely to reconnoitre, or depending on some secret understanding in the town, is not known. A pan of his van-guard appeared labout the same time before the Mills, to make them selves masters of that position, or perhaps the maga zine there. This attempt miscarried; the position•was defended by some hundred Greeks, supported by tEe guns of some schooners and mistics, for two days (25th anci.26th), on which the Egyptians, with very trifling loss, retired to Argos, and . then to Tripoliza a, by the same defiles through which they came." With respect to the naval operation*, the account says, that the Greeks were entirely unsuccessful in their attacks on the Ottoman fleets, as they c ime out of I Suds ; that on the 2d July, when the Turkish fleets were off Navarino, twenty-three Greek ships remained to windward, and some were placed to leeward before the harbour, but gave way, and the Turkish fleets anchored without opposition. The inactivity of the Greek fleet in so decisive a moment, gives rise to various conjectures, which time must explain. On the sth, the landing of the troops and horses was completed, viz. 5,200 Arnauts, 600 cavalry, and 1,200 followers. On the 7th, the Captain Pacha, with seven frigates, ten corvettes, twelve brigs, and some schooners, left the harbour of Navarino, and sailed to Patras and Missolonghi, where lie arrived on the 10th.

We have not received any recent news direct from Corfu, but we have just got accounts from 4ncona, stating that they have there letters from Corfu to tLe 20th, and from Zante to the 16th July. As these let ten make no mention of the asserted capture of Ibra. him Pacha, the lately published deposition of the Cap tain of a ship seems , to be entirely undeserving of credit. Dutch Papers, to the 14th inst. leached us this fore. noon. They contain the following account of an tatty at Mayence: FROM THE MAINE, AUG. 9. A melancholy occurrence took place yesterday, at Mayence. A Hessian gendarme attempted to stop a citizen, whoas he suspected of having contraband goods, when the latter was so incensed, that he gave the gendarme a seven blow with his fig, and runoff. The gendarme upon this was so imprudent as to fire at the fugitive, but missed him, and wounded a child belong- Guardian Palledhint MARL PAID.

It. is said that the plan and means of the intended operations were first developed at a recent meeting in the house of Sir FRANCIS BURDRTT ;—that a sum of mot less_than 300,0004 is to be placed instantly at the disposal of Lord COCHRAN', with which his Lordship is, forthwith, to provide two steam-vessels, and, even tually, if possible, two ships of the line, which, it is sup posed, can be purchased of a Northern Power (Sweden we presume); and last, though not least, that a military force of 3,500 men is to be placed under command of Sir ROaltltT WiLsou, expressly in co-operation with his Lordship. The holders of Greek Scrip are, in conse• qtieuce, as may well be believed, raised to the very pinnacle of hope. Prices have risen nearly 10 per Cent. and it is stated that an eminent banking-bouse in the Strand, purchased yesterday no less than to the ex tent of 59.0004 Never was there a moment,-during the eventful and dubiout contest so magnanimously maintained by the ill-fated Greeks, at which such efficient co-operation is so likely to be crowned-with success, whether we look to the present aspect of the war, or to the gallant spirits about to embark their hopes, their fortunes, and cha racters on the issue. In regard to the former, it seems unquestionable, from a Proclamation of COLOCOTRONI, that lERAHIM PACHA, if not actually a prisoner, it, with his whole force, reduced to such straits, and so hemmed in among the mountainous passes of that strong coun try, that he has no alternative but to surrender at discretion ; and this Pacha is no mean prise. With respect to the latter, we must say that we have always considered the downfal of Lord COCHRAN* a public misfortune. Utterly disclaiming any participa• tion in his almost insane political opinions and conduct, and most sincerely desiring to forget that part of his private conduct which has estranged him from his country, of which he was once the pride and ornament,' we would wish to remember only his heroic achieve ments, his surpassing courage, and military talents above all, that first attribute of a leader, which con- 1 sists in knitting the hearts and affections of his followers so closely with himself, that he and they seem to be but one body, animated by one heart and soul, and directed by one will, cur intelligence, and that of the most exalted genius. Such a man, with reasonable, support, cannot fail to conquer. tegard to Sir ROBERT WILSON, it has long been! • !, , • # irlg to a Prussian .who now also -iaterfere. The consequence of all this was, that the citizens, who had by this time collected in considerable numbers, at length came to blows with the gend3rnses and Custom house of f icers, and blood was spilt on both sides, so that at the end it became necessary to call the Austrian ; and Prussian troops, forming the garrison, under arms, in order to rescue the Hessian soldiers and Custom- house officers from the fury of the people, is which :I they with difficulty succeeded. • This forenoon we received the Elate of Tuesiay and yesterday by Express.

The Pilo* states, on the au thority of a letter written on board the British frigate the CAII - that ISRAIMII Racna, at the head of his Staff, consisting of thirty persons, (the Austrian Obseroar says 80), approached the walls of Napoli, when his nephew and 03111 A PAVIA were fitted, ant himself wounded in the arm. . • These Journals contain an article dated Leghorn, August 3, which states, on the authority of a Captain of an lonian resod • who quitted the Grtek port of Marathonisf on the 13th bf July, that Isaanris Piqua had marched from Tripolizxa on Pa eras, which be supposed to have hero evacuated by the Greek., and that he had been defeated tefore that place with great loss. To believe this we must suppose IBILAHIII PACIIA to be very fib. informed as to the country he has undertaken to conquer, and to have been ignorant of the proclamation of Cos.ocovewn, which ex pressly says, " Let those who occupy the position before Patras ' remain there." Besides, Is it likely that after retreating fitins Argos to Tripolizza, and in constant expectation of reinforcements at Modon, or Navarino, on the south side of the Mores, that he should off at a tangent to Patras, which is on the north side? ' We are next told, that being defeated in an attempt to regain Na varinosbnutnna offered to capitulate, under a promise of not-serving for ten years against the Greeks, if he were allowed to evacuate the Mores unmolested. Cot-ono:sow, however, who, it seems, does not respect the military maxim which recommends the building of a bridge for a retreating enemy, it is said, rejected him. noes offer, and required him to surrender at discretion. We should be glad to have this intelligence confirmed on better authority that that of an lonian Captain or a Leghorn letter. The extent and rapidity of the movements attributed to Imola( cor. tainly reader this story very improbable. If the Egyptian Com mander had peaceable possession of the whole country, suck marches and counter-marches would scarcely be credible. In this account laaanna is said to have lost 3,000 men in the different conflicts in which be had been engaged.
