TRADE WITH big IiEDITERIiNEAN. In consequenie . of the alarming and increasing de predations committed by Greek pirates in the Mediter ranean and Levant, a meeting of merchants, wners, and "tilers connected wITIr the trade to Turkey; g YP t • t wis held at John's Coffee house. Cornhill, on the 6th instant, when it *as determined to appoint a committee to draw up i memorial to be presented to his Majesty's Governineht, respecting the grievances, and the necessi'y fur some immediate measures being taken to suppress the pirates and afford more efficient protection ; the 'committee was also author;zed to act in 'f ur therance 'of tbe views of the meeting in such a way as in their di.cretion they should judge to be for the best. be committee accordingly prepared a representation ' to Lord Viscount Goderich, with a list of the piracies committed upon British ships. The interview was promptly granted, and a deputation from the committee, -consisting of Mr. J. T. Daubus, Mr. N. Kerr, Mr. 'Smut! Briggs, and Mr. John Bluo, accordingly waited Upon Lord Goderich, with whom were Mr. Grant sad' Mr. Hu•losson. • The whole suhj et was fully discussed, and it was stated by Lord Goderich, that the evil of which the trade comp.ained had not been overlooked by bis Ma jecy's Government, but that some measures had already been taken to put down the pirates ; and that the mag nitude of the depredations, as well as the difficulties which King's ships found in rooting out the freebooters would tequire more prompt measures for bringing them to justice when taken, and more active means to be used by the Guek Government to remove all further Cause for complaint. Lord Goderich assured the de putation that the partisular attention of Government would be . ccupied in adopting some immediate reme. dies for the grievances to which the trade was subjected. The following is a list of the piracies committed upon English ships, so far as yet ascertained ; and there is ressen to apprehend that the number actually plunder. ed will br considerably it creasrd by the nest advice's LIST 01 BRITISH VIIsSILS PLUNOTRID IN 1526. soak, Taylor, from Smyrna to Alexandria.

The favourable nature of the weather and the ground, the ex cellence of the dogs, anti the strength of the hares, rendered the fret more than usually attractive; and from the numbers and re spectability of the crowd that followed and watched every motion of the club, it was evident to every close observer,that husbandry must have stood still In a wide district of country around. The heat between Major Crichton's Camilla, and Mr. Ridden' Rain bow was protracted almost beyond precedent, so much so , in deed, that the judges at first felt some difficulty in deciding which dog bad won. At the dinner every thing went on well, and we are happy :o add, that his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, who is President of the Club, has intimate/ his intention of being present at the opting meeting in February. CHELTENHAM, Nov. 12. The Studs of no less than eight Fox Hunters arrived here last week. The Duke of Beaufott's Fox Hounds threw off on Friday kat to a large field of Gentkmen at Upper Slaughter, where they immediately found, and the fox gallantly took the open country towards Stow•on the-Wold, and after a run of an ►out and Ave minutes reached Lord Northwick's Wood. where the Duke ia the most . sportsmanlike manner ordered the bounds to be whipt off for fear of disturbing the cover, as it was the ap. gaited place of meeting for Colonel Berkeley's hounds the sue 's:boding day. On Saturday Colonel Berkeley's hounds met 'la Lord Nonnwiet's earl. and immediately found In the adjoining Wood. After a famous run of 18 miles, which occupied an hour and ten nsioutes, the fox succeeded in gaining the earth, and thus saved Isis life. AU the horses were distressed, and one shortly after died.—Dowdeswell is the place of meeting for Wednesday s which being within three miles of Cheltenham, will no doubt at tract many Ladies to see the bounds throw off. GRAND TROTTING MATCH. A grand tracing march took place, early on Monday morning, to decide a bet of fifty sovereigns, between Mr. Farrows and Mr. George Nichols, the former Gentleman undertaking to trot his horse sixteen miles In one hour, and the latter Gentleman betting against doing it In the time specified. It was decided upon • two mile piece of ground on the .Brighton Road, •s follows—The first eight miles were done in twenty eight minutes, fifty-two seconds, and the remaining eight miles in thirty-two minutes and twelve seconds, thus losing the match by one minute and four seconds.— , Betting at starting was six to four uo time. PIGEON MATCH. • - - A grand match of pigeon shooting took place on Wednesday, at the Bustard Inn, on Salisbury Plain, between a skeet party of Gentlemen, supposed to consist of some of the best shots to the county, invited by Mr. W. Cambridge, for a superb silver cup, very elegantly chased, a handsome musical anuir.bos, and a pair of silver table spoons. The shooting was excellent on all sides, as very few birds were missed. The cup was ultimately woo, after a long contest ottyes, double and treble, by MT. W. Cambridge, of Orcheston, by killing eleven birds hallowing; the snuf•box was won by Mr. H. Pocock, of Tholestone Farm, and the spoons by Mr. William Taylor, of Baldbam. One buodred and ninety-vii birds were shot at, and nearly all killed- —Hiatt+ Advertiser.

The day was rather full of llitident, and bad baskets like ap peararwe. Ned Neal mounted the stage, he bad both eyes a little tinged, but be appeared to feel no inconvenience from his fight whatever. He said that he was reedy tri Rut down the money to fight Whitehesded Bob, 2504 to 2001. and fight Within a week, two weeks, a month, or two months; or he woof(' fight any 12 stone man in England for any sum above a hundred, of he would fight Whitebeaded Bob, Tom Cannon, and Reuben Harlin in succession, at a month's interval between, each for 100 i. a piece.

Tom Cannon next mounted, and declared that his shoulder was still so far from being well, that he was even then wearing a plaster upon it; or Ned Neal should not for five minutes have been without a customer. Frank Redman said, that he was ready to make a match for a side, with Barney Aaron, whenever he thought convenient. ' Jena Wird said, be was ready to fight any man himself at litst. gib. in Bogle d.

Some , time since Mr,,gbambers, the late banker, purchased the estate of Chet tle, in Dor set shire, bordering on Cranborne Chase, and adopted there a mode of ploughing, deemed by the farmers of that part of the country most unfit for the thin chalky soil which abounds there. By the use of the trench plough a new soil, which had never be fore been exposed to the air, was turned up, and the or dinary surface buried. The land so treated has since pro duced crops far exceeding in (pawky and quality that which the soil yielded on the old plan. Mr. Portman has since improved on the principle, and is using the spade instead of the plough, by which mode of trenching a number of labourers are employed at ninepenee a perch, or six pounds an acre, in trench digging a large quantity of furze land belonging to his. estates. Laud, before deemed unprofitable, is thus rendered highly productive, and work provided for the poor, for which they are fairly recompensed. It every landowner in the kingdom were to adopt the same plan, or to allow a deduction from his tenant's rent in proportion to the additional expen diture thus occasioned, it would prove en effectual means of destroying the habit of pauperism, and thus prevent the conversion . of our peasantry into a spe cies of slave. As large crops of flax are commonly produced on virgin soil, if about 20 acres of land in every parish were thus cultivated, employment might be found in the winter season for women and children in the succeeding year, as well as for the men at present— Would not some plan of this sot the generally practicable, so as to prevent the necessity of an expensive emigration, at least so far as England is concerned. SINGULAR HOSPITAL CASlG—William Hunt, aged 44, was admitted on board the Seamen's Hospital, on the 23d of February, 1826, with severe inflammation of the contents of the thorax, and died in a few hours. On admission, he stated, that in 1812 he received a wound in his left- side from a musket ball, which was still in hischest, and that-since that period he had been subject to violent inflammations after exposure to wet or cold. The present attack came on a few days after arriving from sea, where he had been much exposed to cold. Oa opening the thorax, the attention was directed to the left side, principally fad the reason that there was a very obvious depression observable on the nu face of the third rib. Continuing the examination, which Was pursued with extreme caution, a cyst was seen, ,which was found to contain a piece of iron hoop, about an inch in length, and of the form of a crescent. The lung of that side was completely hepatised. The upper part of the trachea .and bronchia contained pus. The other lung was comparatively sound, inasmuch as the bronchia of that side did not contain pus; neither was that lung hepatised. There ;sere slight adhesions.— Medico Chirurg, Transact.

The mistake was not discovered until a fair Hibernian, who was an inside passenger, happen ing to put her head outsiie the window, inquired what bridge it was they were coming to ? " Bridge !" ex claimed her companion, "it can't be a bridge, Madam." "By my faith it is," replied the Lady ; at least it is what we should call one in my conniry, whatever you may do in years." To satisfy himself, the Gentleman took a peep through the opposite, when, lo ! to his inex pressible surprise, he found that they were on the centre of Rhydlan bridge, 'three miles from St. Asaph. On recovering a little from his astonishment. be shouted to the coachman—" Where the deuce are you driving us to?" At this unexpected interrogation, the coach was' suddenly stopped ; the guard stared wildly at the ship ping in the river, and - the paisengefs knew not what to think. A council being convened, it was unanimously agreed that they should make the best of their way back again ; but, before they could turn, they were obliged to drive through the town, thus fulfilling an ancient Welsh prediction, that " When a bridge should be built over Conway ferry, the London Rojal mail coach should be [ driven through Rhydlan."

Wagstaff afterwards failed. and Mr. Alzedo• suffei ed consider able loss from this circumstance; aid the broker, w ho had introduced Wagstaff to Alzedo, wrote letters to the limiter, in which he stated, that if not liable in live, he leonsidered himself bound in honour to make up the loss. Not having the means to tirr so tmmediatels, he, itntheir subsequent transactions, allowed Mr. Alzedo to take, in addition to the regular discount (1 .5 per cent. I per rent. more, in order b) this means gradualty to make up the loss ; the broker, however, act.ounting to the parties who employed him at the tegular rate of S per cent.; but as Mr. Alzedo in this way took 8 per cent, it was on this ground contended that the bills so discounted were tainted with usury. The Judge who tried the cause (Lord Tentaden) stated to th- Jury that be was rather inclined to think that this wrs not usury, and . the Jury being 'that opinion, found log_ the Flair; ffs. • -irsvr..• The ATTORNEY GENIERAI., Mr. BRIM/IAM. and Mr. Pottocc. sheaved cause against the rule. and contended that this was no Usti' y.. but merely a mode. by Which .brt leer endeavflored, in the most convenient * mode for himself, to make up to Mr. Alzedo the loss which he bad been the means of bringing upon h m, by intro. dossing Wagstaff to him as a good man. This the broker had sworn, and there was no locution in the parties to triage the law. This was clear also from the circumstance that the broker accounted to his employers in the regular manner, and paid the additional 1 per cent. out of his own pocket. The whole of the trahs lietio2 was a bone/de one, and not a colour for usury; tad they cited the case of Chestei field and Janson, from Atkins's Reports, and of Carstairs and Steen lately decided. The SOLICITOR-GCNIRAL and Mr. GURNEY, it reply, contended that this was a clear case of usury, and that the allegation about making up the loss was merely a colourable pretence to cover an usurious trap* action. If the Court allowed these stories about honone• able and romantic bill brokers to be a good defence to a.charge of usury, then usotious transactions might be • allied - on to any extent; and they cited Markham, v. • 3 Dos.
