It seems that when the Russian ships left Cronstadt, their only orders were "to proceed to Portsmouth:" where, they afterwards olderstood, the Russian Ambassador in London, the Ltaarts,would visit them, and, by an arrangement ,rth the English Government. determine what part of tse (ince should go on the service required to settle the ,i4pittes between the Turks and Greek=.

Ftltc—A dreadful ioneagration occurred here yesterday, which at one time threatened destruc tion to the whole of the town. About half past two o'clock, rats an alarm of a fire" seas raised, .he premises of W. Tinker, Esq. an opulent farmer, being discovered to be enveloped in one entire blaze. Nothing could exceed the awfulness and grandeur' of the sight, all the out-houses, barns, stables, wheat, straw, hay-stacks, &c. blasting to such an Immense height, as to be distinctly seen several miles distant, which btought immense numbers of persons to the spot. 'lite devouring elements soon communicated to the premises of Mr. Millard, and also a part of Mr. Wentworth's farm, *here one large hay-rick was destroyed. The dry state of the materials bid defiance to the en. gins brought from Warminster and Heytesbury, and the exertions of the inhabitants and firemen. Mr. Mil lard's hou,e was soon rated to the ground, together with two cottages, and with them nearly all the furni ture. The engines have been in constant motion all the night, and have at length succeded in extinguishing the destructive fire. A great quantity of poultry fell a prey to the flames, as well as waggons and other implements of husbandry. The fire was occasioned by the care-. lessoess of a boy, who was foolish enough to carry a hot iron across the straw-yard, for the purpose of re pairing a waggon, and letting it fall on the straw, it ignited, and the fire spread with a rapidity that defied every attempt to subdue it.—Bate awl Cheltenham Chronicle. AYLESBURY, AuGuar 11. The repair of the exterior of Aylesbury Church is precee.ling tepidly and eff ctually ; the edifice already looks renovated. A very judicious improvement has also been undertaken in the interior, and is in the course of cum; lotion ; it is the removal of the plastering of that past of the roof which obscured and disfigured that very rich piece of Gothic wos kmanship, the western window, and which, until the present time, covered its upper part, and destroyed its uniformity and beauty. The ring of Aylesbury bells is a very fine one. There are eight of them, and each (excepting one) has either a couplet nr inscription cast On it near the top, which we give for the benefit of those who have no mind tcs incur the unpleasant and rather dangerous task of de ' ciphering the o•igtnals. They are as follow : No. I.—l men (mean) to make it understood, That though I'm little, yet I'm good. No. 2.—lf you have a judicious ear, You'll own my voice I. sweet and clear. No. 3.—Such wondrous power to music's given, It elevates the soul to Heaven. No. 4.—Music is medicine to the Soul. No. 3.—To honour both or (our) Goo and King, Our voices shall is. consort (concert) ring. No. 6.—Has only the maker's name, which all the others have also—" Pack and Chapman, London, fecit, 1773."

No. 11.—Is wedlock's bands all ye who join, With he• its and hands unite ; So shall nor tuneful tongues unite, To laud the nuptial rite. The last being the large►t 101, has the name of tha Church wardens on it :—" It. and Wm. NARDI, cb. wardn." The following inscription was observed on an old clock, worn out in the service of the public, which was taken down from the tower of Aylesbury Church, about twelve years ago, to be replaced by a new I labour here with all my might, To tell the hour both day and night, Then you a warning take by me, And carve thy GOD as I serve thee. EDINBURGH, AUGUST 15. Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock, an extraordinary alarm was excited in the Cowgate, by the falling of a house near the bottom of Birth wick's Close. The build ing was a very old one, of two stories, and was in habited by several poer families. A chimney rising, from the centre of the back wall, which it appesrs had been injured by a recent fire, fell in upon the roof, and carried the greater part of it through upon the upper flour, which also gave way. A woman named' ' Delancey, a widow, who with four children inhabited one of the upper rooms, was suffocated by the rub bish, and taken out Aad; and it is very extraordi nary that this was the only serious consequence of the accident. Although upwards of a dozen persons, young and old, resided in the tenement, with the ex ception of the woman already named, they all es caped with scarcely any injury. A man, two women, and five children were taken to the Infirmary, but upon examination, it was found that their hurts were trifling, except one of the woman Delancey's boys, who had sustained some rather severe bruises. The husband of the deceased was a scavenger, and died about two years ago, in consequence of some hurts he received in a scuffle on the street. The house was long ago con demned as uninhabitable by the Dean of Guild Court; but like many others of a similar description was allowed to stand. A young woman, a native of Stanley. expired on board the Hero steam-boat on its passage to Perth on Saturday week. Although ♦ery ill when brought on board at the Ferry, her friends had no idea that disso lution was so near. Ina fight which occurred at Barrhead fair, between a man from Pollokshaws, and James Al'Shaoe, an Irish man, the latter WAS so severely bust that it was found necessary to get him admitted to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where he has since died. Mutt. or GALLOWAY.-A light-house to be built ou this one of the most conspic — uous promontories on the coasts of Scotland, has been contracted for, and will be finished by August, 1828. The height of the tower is taken at 300 feet, and that of the beacon at 82 mote above the medium level of the sea. Corse• wall Light-house is considerably higher, but the na two' elevation of the giant Mull will save a great deal of substantial masonry, and still serve every nautical purpose. Tne espense is estimated at 3,8371. in cluding apartments for the keepers and their families, who must reside constantly near a spot where the eagle might safely fis her eyerie, and hatch and foster her callow young, unscared by any danger save the billows of the Atlantic.

LAW 1N1:444.1.G.ENCL - . COI/11T OF CIIIANCIIRT, Avoust 14. The LORD CHANCELLott Wal occupied tIIC %Nil. le clay in hearing bankrupt petition'. iN re 8111410S1Y. Mr. MONTACW was heard on behalf eidie petitioner, who prayed that the commission issued against him might be superseded. The commission had been issued under that pact of the SJ section of the new Bankrupt Act, which declares that any fraudulent gift, delivery, or transfer of any of his goods or chattels by a trader, shall be an act of bankruptcy. The facts of the case were, that the petitioner bring confined by illness, had been attended by a Dr. Agnew, whose son was a credi tor of the petitioner'; ; and it was alleged, that because the petitioner had given into the custody of his medical attendant, on behalf of his son, certain goods, he had thereby so far preferred one creditor over the others as to have brought himself within the operation • f thi• clause. The Counsel commented on the affidavits which had been filed, and Contended that they disproved the allegation on which the commission was f runded. and that therefore it ought to be superseded. He ob served also that the tendency of that part of the clause in the Act which was applied to this case was to hare, duce a new and harsh practice against debtors. who were by means of it exposed to the hazard of long and expensive litigation, which would prove too heavy even for many solvent m. n to bear.—The ctmclusion of ►he argument wa. postponed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, dm 24. Samuel Taylor %v.'s brought up oft his petition from the Mar.hal,ea. lie described himself ■s a tidewaiter in his Majesty's Custnms, and was opposed by a Mt. Ho fs r a debt of .51. Mr. Ei , lland stated that he oppoteJ the insolvent on the ground sitar he WAS receiving a liberal salary from the Custom Hou e, from which he was convinced he could well afford to discharge his debt, which had been incurred for various a ticles of weari• g apparel wish which he had supplied him. After having examined Taylor at some length, he concluded by asking him if he could not afford to pay 2s. a•week from his salary ? Taylor replied, he would leave it to the Court to s.y whether he could afford to do so, when he had a wife and four children to maintain on a salary of SOL r•year, and the whole of his income amounting to little more than double that sum. The Counr were of opinion that the insolvent should be discharged, but that he should pay the Si. from the amount of one year's salary—the year to commence at the next January quarter. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. SHREWSBURY, Atm 11. CIVIL 31DS.-.-WOODWARD V. BOOTH. This was an action brought by an innkeeper in Shrews bury to recover from the defendant, who is a widow, and the proprietress of the Bing-up-Coach, travelling from Manchester through Chester to Shewsbury, the snm of 71. being the alleged value of a trunk containing wearing apparel and divers other articles, the property of the plaintiff. The cause was tried at the last Assizes, when the ac tion was brought on the custom of England, as to the responsibility of innkeepers for the property of their cus tomers left in their charge, as Mrs. Booth kept an inn at Chester. On the former occa-ian, a nonsuit was en tered,and the present action was brought against the defendant, on the ground of her responsibility as a cool mon carrier. Mr. SLANET (who is one of the Members for Shrews busy) in opening the pleadings stated the rature of the action, and also that his client was a most respectable innkeeper in this town. Mr. TAUNTON stated the plaintiff's case, and then proved that the plaintiff having been on his route from Manchester to Shrewsbury, gave the trunk in question to a porter in the defendants yard at Chester for the purpose of being forwarded with him. He paid his fare regularly in Chester at the defendant ' s booking office; but on his arrival in this town, his trunk was missing. , The Learned Counsel cited several authorities to simile the responsibility of persons who acted as common car. tiers in any way, and among others, a case tried in this town SO years ago, when an action was brought against the proprietor of a waggon, to recover the value oft pipe of brandy which had leaked out of the vessel by the negligence of the defendant's servant, and in which case the judgment of the Court of King's Bench had affirm ed the verdict in favour of the plaintiff. In cross-examination, the witnesses for the plaintiff stated that a painted board was stuck up in the defend ant's bot,king office, about breast high, and over that a printed notice was also stuck up, each of which stated that any goods or passenger.' luggage lost by any con veyance belonging to the defendant would not be paid for, unless specially entered and the carriage paid for.— These notices differed from those usually exhibited in such cases, inasmuch as no insurance was mentioned. Mr. CAMPBELL addressed the Jury for the defendant, and contended, that unless gross negligence could be brought home to his client, she was not to be considered responsible. That negligence existed in this case, there could be no doubt, but then it was gross negligence on the part of the plaintiff himself. He had gone into the defendant's office to pay his tare for the purpose of coming from Chester to Shrewsbury ; but notwithstand ing two explicit notices staring him in the face, stating the terms on which passengers' luggage or other articles would be conveyed, he had not taken the precaution of looking after his own luggage. It had been observed by a learned law Lord, now no more (Lord Erskine), who was not less lemai kable for his knowledge of human affairs than his learning, that every man in the habit of travelling ought to follow the prudent practice of that admirably sagacious animal the elephant, and cars y his trunk before him (laughter); but in this cafe the plaintiff had left his trunk behind him by his own negligence, and therefore the defendant was not respon sible. The Learned Counsel then produced the painted board and printed notice which had been stuck up in the defendant's office, as well as a model of the office itself, and shewed that the plaintiffhad stood within two feet of these notices whets he booked his place fur Shrewsbury. Mr. TAUNTON in reply, observed to the Jury, that though this was only the first cause, they could form some notion of the intricacies of the law from the pre sent case, when it appeared that the plaintiff could not recover the value of a trunk full of wearing Apparel, which was lost from a common stage coach, without bringing two actions fur it. He submitted, however, that the trunk in question had been received into the custody of an acknowledged agent of the defendant. and whether the loss had accrued from accident or negli gence on her part, she was responsible. • Mr. Baron VAUGIIAN, in charging the Jury, left two distinct qiiestiens for their con,idetation—lit, whether the plaintiff . Gist hare seen the nosier, that lust hers pro.loced and, secondly, if not, wbedlatr.r/tetimak had beets received by an acknowledged agei of the defen dtnt's? It they ft,und the fit .t propebitioo, the second would be insina:etial, provided the tet Kis of the notice wet, not compiled with.—Verdict for the defendant. MAitill. Mr. riAmita stated the case to the 3ury. This was an action to recover the •Alase of a sow, which, it was Alleged, had been worried and killed by the defend ant's di*. The parties were both larmers, residing a short distance from each other, and on the 6th of April the defendant called upon the plaintiff', and told him that his sow was gone in a certain dir. etion. fol lowed by his (the defendants) dog; but he did not , pect that he would get her back, as she was so roithered by the dog. Shortly after she was found dead in a ditch. A letter was produced from the plaintiff's attorney, demanding compensation for tie loss of his sow. The attorney's clerk, who delivered it. proved that the d fendant s'id he should have nothing to do with it, and if the plaintiffs pigs trespassed, be 4 should pull their ears off" This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Baton VALIWIAL—Don ' t you call any surgeon to prove that the death of the sow was caused by the wounds she reczired horn the defendant's dog.— (Laughter.) Mr. C ABINIZLL (with whom was Mr. Junior) for the defendarr, said, he certainly thought the case was very deficient io that respect, as well as many others, and that, in fact, it "pas a case rather for a Coroner's Inquest, as a case of soicede, than for the consideration Of the present tribunal. They had been told that the defendant had incited his dog to worry the plaintiff's sow, and had thereby caused her death ; but not one atom of ;stool had been offered of that accusation. Instead of the defendant having worried the plaintiff's sow, the plaintiff had worried the defendant by setting his attorney at him ; and the Jury well knew, that be ing worried by an attorney, was much •worse than being worried by a dog. His learned friend, in open ing the case, bad spoken of it so seriously,--had so pa thetically recounted the death of thi, darling sow of the plaintiff's—that be (Mr. Campbell) was neatly pre paring his pocket handkerchief to weep at the narration. Laugh ter.) N_r. Baron VAUGHAN—FuneraI oration, you mean. Mr. CAMPBILL—Any one would have thought, by the affection which the plaintiff was represented to have entertained for this valuable animal, that it had been his pet lamb for years, had partaken of his bed, and was dearer than wife or children to him. But there . was no evidence that the defendant had teen the cause of the death of this beloved pig. It would not be evidence sufficient to convict the defendant, because he was the last person seen in the pig's company—because he was the last person near when she breathed her last. They would not proceed in this case raper visas tor poris ; and whether th i s pig was the learned pig, or the unlearned pig, as there was no evidence to affect the defendant, he was sine the Jury would, by their verdict. tell the plaintiff that he had brought his pigs to the wrong market (I.tighter); and that having had his bacon once, for he (Mr. Campbell) bad no doubt they had made use of ir, he could not, by bringing this action, save his bacon at the expense of the defendant. Mr. Baron Vat/Gnaw having summed up the evi dence, the Jury found a verdict fur the defendant. CHt&WAS R. SMART. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, be ore he left Stafford, certified in this case, to prevent the plaintiff's claiming costs. AUGUST l ANDERSON O. wA111.14. This was an action to recover compensation in da mages, fur an alleged malicious arrest. Mr. CURWOOD stated the case. The pla;ntiff being anxious to procure the sum of 2001. on the security of some freehold property, which he hal in this neigh bourhood, applied to the defendant,:.who is an attor ney, and who undertook to obtain fur hint the required sum.;fhe defendant did as be bad privatised, and a mort gage deed being executed, the money•was handed over to the plaintiff. Some short tiane.subsequently, the latter wanted a further sum of 30(1 and ag.iin applied to the defendant, who advanced hint #O/. and undertook to procure the remainder ; hut instead of so doing, after repeatedly promising to have e money ready by a certain day, and failing of his promise, lie suddenly, and without any previous demand being made for the money, caused the plaintiff to be arrested for two di& lerent sums. The one arrest being for the 301. he had himself advanced, and the other lor the 2001. of Which he had procured the loan from Mrs. Rowla..d. Against the first arrest, he could make no legal Mrjection, but he should be able to prove, as regarded the second one, that it was most unwarrantable, and that it had been made wholly without the knowledge and concintence of Mrs. Rowland, although the writ purported to be at her instance. Having proved these facts, he should be entitled to their verdict, arid he trusted they would give such ample damages as the case required. Mr. Henry Scott produced the affidavit of debt on which the writ was issued. Mr. Wm. Parker proved that the signature, Charles Harper, was the handwriting of a person of that name, who was I ving as clerk to the defendant. The affidavit was then read. It set forth, on the oath of Charles Harper, that the present plaintiff was in• debted to Mrs. Ann Rowland, in the sum of 2001. It was attested by the defendant, as having been sworn before him. Henry Jones proved having arrested the plaintiff on two writs, which he received from the defendant. One of there was for the sum of '2OOl. and at the suitof Mrs. Rowland. The plaintiff was in his custody for two drys. The defendant called on the plaintiff a• the re quest of the latter. The plaintiff demanded why the defendant had used him so? and the latter replied, " I have not half done with you yet: I will use you still worse before I have done." Cross-examined—The defendant charged the plain. tiff with intending to defraud him out of hit moi,er, and with having made a conveyance of the property w his wife, previous to executing the mortgage deed. The plaintiff admitted having made the conveyance. He wished the defendant to release him, and not to let the affair come to the ears of his wife. Mr. Henley w•as one of the plaintiff's bail, and after wards called on Mrs. Rowland to pay the debt and costs; but Mrs. Rowland refused at first to take the money, and declared that she knew nothing of the ar rest, and had given no directions for it. Mr. Lawrence deposed to the same effect. Cross-examined—Besides Mrs. Rowland's mortgage, there was another one for 200/. Mr. Stanley proved that Me property was worth front 7001. to 80C1. Mrs, Rowland deposed that she had given no mac- 1 I!t. H. 11!
