T%. i COURT OF COSIS* PLEAS, Jaws i. POTAIS BONDS. lAWCCTT U. RICHARDSON. It appeared in this case, that, en the 19th of April, the present plaintiff wrote a letter to the defendant, in which he acknowledged himself the latter's debtor to the amount of 3001. Within a week after this, he at rested the defendant for 6,0001. paid by him (plaintiff) for Poyais Bonds, Which hadiince turned out not tobe worth a farthing. On a former day, Mr. Serjeant Wilde obtained a Rule to chew cause why the de fendant should net be discharged from custody. Mr. Serjeaat VAUGHAN aow opposed the Rule, and contended, the whole transaction was fraudulent on the part of the defendant, who, if he once got loose, would leave the plaintiff without any security fot the money be had advanced upon the Poyais Bonds. The COURT observed, that it was difficult, from what was before them, to see the justice of the case ; but that the best way would be, to send the facts to a Jury in stantly, which would, perhaps, obviate the necesisty of the defendant's remaining in prison the whole of the long vacation. It was accordingly decided, that the case should go to trial at the Sittings after Term ; the defendant to be immediately discharged, if the Judge thought fit. In the course of the discussion, some highly curious extraneous matter escaped. It appeated, that the bonds issued by Richardson, the defendant, well known as the agent of Gregor M‘Gregor, were date i Octisber, 1823, whilst it appeared, from the water mark, that the paper was not manufactured till 1824. Mr. Richardson, in the bonds, styled himself " Knight Commander of the Green Cross, Major of a Regiment of Cavalry, and Charge d'Affaires of his Poyaisian Majesty," &c.; to prove all which, there was the seal of the Legation attached to the bottom of the paper. . _ CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION.—The COMMITTEE of Mr. GOULBURN sit daily at the Uoion Hotel, Cockspur-street, to receive information and afford facilities to the Voters in his interest.

It contains the con- cluiion of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Frith.) , last, on the Budget, and a list of the sums with drawn from circulation in England in 1825, in foreign loans and speculaions. The Duke of RAGUSA has had his first audience of the Emperor of RUSSIA, and was treated with marked attention. An article from Constacinople states that the French Admiral, RIGNY, had proceeded to Napoli to reclaim several vessels captured by the Greek Corsairs, and that he had rescued several Austrian vessels from the pirates. Intelligence direct from Patras, states that the Egyp tian army has been so much weakened by the siege of Miuolonghi, that it require* repose before it can com mence offensive operations. The heroes who cut their way through the besiegers and reached Selena were received with acclamations by tie people, who crowded round them to kiss the hem of their garments. The French Papers of Monday state that the discus sion of the Budget for 1827 in the Chamber of Deputies is sot yet terminated ; and that the affair of Ouvaisisn's Contracts assumes a mote serious appearance as the investigation proceeds. These Papers contain a Proclamation issued by the Emperor NICKOLAS, on the 21st of May, in which he announces the death of the Empress Dowager ELITABITII, states her age (48 years), and calls upon the whole Empire to join in prayers for the repose of her soul. Private accounts ftom St. Petersburgh to the 2311 express a belief that the Coronation would be #dayod on account of the loss of this Princess. The .PVRAMIFS frigate, which has been so long ex pected (ma South America, his arrived at Portsgpoeth. She touched last at New Yo• k; and it is said the Corn. maader. Capt. Gistslan, and M. Montag, had been to Washington, on some important business connected with the Havannah, but the result of which had not transpired. The German and French Papers continue to give further accounts of the fall of Missolonghi. The Austria►' Observer of the 26th ult. received this morning, states that the bravery of the gartison even excited the respect of the besiegers ; and that IBRAHIM PACHA proposed honourable, and even generous terms of capitulation. Letters from Trieste of the 22d of May, in the French Papers, state that a vessel from the lonian Islands con firms the news that part of the garrison of Missolonghi had made its Way through the Turks, and joined KARAIEKAKI. it was even said they were 1,800 in num ber. They have placed themselves at the disposal of the Government of Napoli. Letters from Zante of the 12th of May, state that iERA HIM was at Patras, with 2,500 Egyptians, and 1,200 Turks. The Captain PACHA'S fleet had passed Zan:e on the sth, sailing towards the Archipelago ; the Egyptian fleet remained at Patras.— The Missolonghiots who had esc4ped had retreated to Salona, to secure that place against an attack from the Seraskier, MEHEMET PACHA. The following article is from the Austrian Observer: VIENNA, ilmr 24. In a letter from Paccar of the 27th of April, the events at Mi.. sawed are described in a manlier which agrees, upon the whole, with the accounts which we have already received from Corfu and Constantinople. The sally of the gagisen took place on the 22d of April, an hour and a half after Son set. After a terrible combat, which continued nearly two hours, the fate of blissolonghi was decided. Ibrahim Pacha, having been informed by a deserter of the plan of the besieged, who could expect to success except by taking the enemy by surprise, bad taken every measure to bare their project, and distributed his numerous troops in such a manner, that to whatever side the Greeks turned, they met with the most obstinate resistance. Some days before the attack at the island of Ylissowa, Ibra him and Redsckid Mehemet Pacha had sent to the commanders of the garrison of Missolonghi another summons, to surrender upon terms which prove that their brave defence had acquired them the esteem even of their enemies. " All of you" (says the sumo's) " must deliver up to us your arms and ammunition ; on the other hand you shall be permitted to repair to any place you may choose in the Turkish empire. Those who are citizens of kfissolongld shall be at perfect liberty to remain in their houses and possessions or, if they prefer it, to settle in any other place in the dominions of our mighty Sovereign. And know that the property, effects, honour, and lives of you all shall not be injured in the smallest degree in any manner whatever." The Commanders in klissolossisi declared in their answer of the Yd April, that they would not listen to any oegociatlisa do such terms, and would leave the result to be decided by arms. The unsuccessful attack of the Turks on Clissnwa (6th April),and, a few days after that, the appearance of a part of the Greek squadron in the vicinity of Missolongki, confirsmd the besieged in their resolution, which at length (after they bad again, as it is affit med, just before the decision of their fate, rejected the offers made to them) led to the bloody catastrophe of Use nti April. FATAL DUEL AT COItJC. -. 00 .-- YURTMIR lA UTICUL A RII. Coax, Tnuasnar Evilness. A fatal and melancholy affair, which has just taken place between two most particular friends, is the chief topic of conversation in the city and county of Cork.—The parties are Daniel Connor, of Manch, Esq. a magistrate of the county of Cork, and Captain Daunt, of Kilcuskin ; and the difference had its origin In the fo:kwing man ner short time since a servant of "C-ptaiii Daunts summoned him before the Petty Sessions of Ballyneen, for non-payment of wages. The case was tried, and, in strict point of law, decided against the servant. Mr. Connor. who attended at the Board, re marked, it would seem, in a careless, and (some would have it) friendly manner, that " Daunt ought to have paid the Mill, rather than bring it before the Board." This was communicated ; and. Captain Daunt immediately sent a friend (Mr. Atkins) to de mand an explanation, which was declined by Mr. Connor, on the ground of the words being used while discharging his duty as a Magistrate. The friend departed, seemingly not satisfied, at least so it appeared to Mr. Conner, who soon after con ferred with his brother Magistrates, and they were of opinion that the woos were used in his Magisterial capacity, and, consequently, that he was not called on to defend them personally. Captain Daunt felt the force of the observations, and coming from a friend annoyed him much more t he again sent Mr. Atkins, who, on wait ' log on Mr. Connor, was informed, that if his visit was of a hostile nature, he would bring the parties into the King's Bench. This had its effect, and the affair dropped without any further expiana don. The friendship of two such men being severed, was the cattle of regret throughout the neighbourhood ; and, accordingly, a most excellent and esteemed man (the Reverend Dr. Hickey, Rector of Morragh) resolved to bring the parties together in order to effect a reconciliation. For this purpose he gave an en tertainment, to which both were invited ; and, in the course of the evening, a Gentleman present approached Captain Daunt, and said, that asConnor was in the room, and **bey bad bad a trivial dif ference, he considered it wouldbe well to make it up between them. The reply (I am informed)Aiven by Captain Daunt was, " oh ! d—n the coward,"which beingffierkeard by Mr.Connor,wbo was then at a short distance, he immediately inquired if such an epithet was used to bins ?—and being answered in the affirmative, he waited the opportunity of Captain Daunt retiring out of the draffing room, and delivered the message himself for the neat morning.-- The friends of both parties again interfered, but all to no purpose; and Lieutenant Bernard Mandell, cousin to Mr. Connor, and brother to Arthur Beamish Bernard, Req. of Palace Ann, was deputed by Mr. Connor to arrange the preliminaries for a meeting. The negociations that were , entered into continued for nearly a week ; when all endeavours proving fruitless, and the parties being determined, the Magistrates interfer e d a nd bound them over. It was then agreed that they should proceed to the county of Waterford; and accordingly they arrived in Cork on Monday, in a private manner, and that evening posted off for Year hal, where they remained that night; the next morning, at a very early Inoue, they went to the opposite side of the river, where, having taken their places, the word was given, and in the first shoe Captain Daunt's hat was knocked off, his adversary's ball having passed through it. -An attempt at reconciliation was resorted to, which, having purved ineffectual, they fired again. and Mr. Connor's ball passed quite close to his adver sary's second, who stood rather too close to his friend, while Captain Daunt's ball tore the (remind from under the feet's(' Mr. Connor. The efforts at adjusinent were again had recourse to, bat with as littip success as before, and the word was given the third time, who Mr. Connor's ball entered the centre of Captain Daunt's forehead, and killed him on the spot! Thus terminated a trifling difference between two friends, in the ushering of one of them into eternity ! The parties instantly left the ground. Captain Daunt's body was put into a chaise and brought into this city at nine o'clock in the morning, where it remained until an early hour this morning, when it was removed to his residence in the West. Ile has been only recently married to a highly respectable and amia ble young Lady (Miss Gurnbleton), who is near her confinement. —On the whole, it is one of the most tragical circumstances that has occurred in this county for some time. Mr. Connor is deeply affected by the melancholy occurrence, and it is said he will leave the country, as his house is quite opposite to Captain Daunt's. The Liberals here were striving to give the affair a political coin plexion, in reference to the O'Connor fancily ; but that is not the fact. Lieut. B. Beamiah is one of the four brothers who attacked and defeated a party of Whiteboys, about three years ago, in the West, after killing and wounding seve r a l o f them. --..Dssigin responded. The Princess AUGUSTA had a select patty to dinner en Monday, at her residence in the Palace, St. James's. SOUTHWARK ELECTION. This forenoon the election of Representatives for the Borough of Southwark commenced on the hustings. erected for that purpose in front of the Town Hall.— The three Candidates, Mr. Calvert, Sir Robert Wilson, and Mr. Polhill, were attended by their several friends. The crowd of persons in front of the hustings was great. The HIGH BAILIFF having read the writ, add , essed the meeting, exhorting all persons to be peaceable and quiet in their demeanour, in order thA, the proceedings might be conducted with order and regularity. The appear ance of Mr. POLHILL and friends appeared to be the sign•sl for discord, and upo❑ presenting them selves upon the front of the hustings, the crowd shouted, hissed, and flung missiles of all kinds, is the direction in which they stood. At the same moment, several persons carrying banners with Mr. Pirant.L's colours (orange) were attacked, and the ribbons torn from their hats; and the banners being torn and demolished, the fragments were scattered in every direction: this gave rise to some severe personal teocounters. The other candidates had a very liberal display of blue ribbons, and bands of music accompanied 'he va rious electioneering devices through the meets. The High-street a: ound the hustings was perfectly impassa ble during the forenoon. ' Mr. DAVIS, in a long speech, in which he eulogised the conduct of Mr. Calvert, nominated that Gentleman. This was seconded by Mr. Joux Emus. Sir RossavVirmaon was proposed by Mr. Stascrarr, and seconded by Mr. AsROWIWITH. The crowd applauded to the very echo, upon the nomination of their favourites ; but upon Mr. &snot nominating Mr. Pourit.r., a confusion that baffles description ensued, and not a single sentence of the proposer's speech could be heard. Mr. Hos.t.nway seconded the nomination. Mr. Busses, in a very energetic speech, declared be would pro pose a fourth candtdate if the popular candidates did not pledge themselves to procure the abolition of all sinecures, redress the grievances of the people, and particularly " seamen," and procure a general religious toleration.—This Gentleman was received almost as unfavourably as Mr. Polhill. The candidates addressed the electors in speeches declaratory of their political principles, and expressed a hope that the contest would be such a one as would not disgrace the Borough of South wark. Not a sentence of Mr. Polhill's speech could be heard. The show of bands being decidedly in favour of Sir Robert Wil son and Mr. Calvert, a poll was demanded by the friends of Mr. Polhill, which the High Bailiff ordered to commence at two o'clock. A large banner, inscribed " Polhill, our Trade and Commerce: , was displayed during the morning ; and Miss Wilson, the daughter of Sir Robert, was at a window near the hustings. It was also said that M. Lavalette was present. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. Baumann—Mr. Nolan, it is now understoood, determines to stand again for this Borough. Beacon—G. Morgan, Esq. is again a candidate for this Borough. BRISTOL—Tbe friends of Mr. Protherne have called a meeting for the purpose of nominating that Gentleman in opposition to Mr. Bright. Mr. R. H. Davies is considered secure. CIIIINCESTIR—Lord Apsley and Joseph Cripps, Esq. the old members, are not likely to be ditturbed in theft re-election. Coscsicerse—The Election for this Borough is fixed for Friday next. Nd appearances warrant that the present Candidates will be opposed. Sir G. H. Smyth and Mr. Harvey will be returned. Coatiwait..—An ardupus struggle is expected between Mr. Tremayne, Sir Richard Vivian, and Mr. Pendarves. Doves.—The Dover election, we understand, is fixed for Satur day next, and from all the candidates having determined to stand the poll, there is likely to be a most severe contest. Friday a Court of Record was held by the Mayor and Jurate in the Guildhall, fee the purpose of admitting persons entitled to the freedom of this town and Port ; when upwards of a hundred young freemen, having produced the necessary certificates, and taken the customary oaths, were admitted accordingly. Esmisuaess.—it is confideutly reported that a respectable num ber of the Members of the Council have offered their support to the Lord Provost, if he will start as a candidate ; but that his Lordship feels some hesitation to do this, as he considers himself in some de gree pledged to support the claims of Mr. Dundas. GLouceseea.—The day of election for this city is fixed for Friday next. Colonel Webb commenced his canvass here en Saturday last, and was everywhere received in the most friendly manner, so as to leave no doubt of his ultimate return. Mr. Cooper arrived in this city on Saturday, and began to canvass on Monday. A strong effort was made to induce John Philpotts, Esq. to become a candi date upon this occasion ; but he declines that honour fur the pre sent. Another candidate, in the person of Captain Berkeley, has been talked of ; but the gallant officer will certainly not come for. ward, unless a third should he previously nominated. The election for this city will commence on Friday next. GLOIXISTIIR COUNTY.—This election is fixed for Friday se'anight, when it is expected that the old members, Lord Edward Somerset, and Sir a W. Guise, Bart. will he returned without opposition.

Fairhe's interest, who resigns, as does also Sir John Lubbock. Lord Hothass and Mr. Bish are here. MALDOM—The election is fixed for this day. The proclamation was read from the balcony in front of the Town Hall on Saturday afternoon, about half past five, by William Codd, Esq. the Town Clerk, in the presence of C. Comyns Parker, Esq. the Mayor; at the conclusion of which the shouts of the multitude mit the air. About 501 freemen have been admitted since the commencement of last month, and a great number ire still daily pressing to obtain lthe like blessing. The whole number of voters, it is calculated, will exceed 3000. The liberality of the candidates furnishes Port and other wines as free as though they issued from Crsowsoll'a Weii, which has operated on same occasions so powerfully as to give cause of complaint to the owner of an ex►ibition of wild animals, who declares Sat his collection within is exceeded by that without. Mr. Winn continues his cativau in the most quiet, and, as his frioude assert, the most swocessful manner. Mr. Leonard's friends are sanguine in their expectations; several contests have occurred la the town among those who feast at the expence of the several 'candidates. The Chelmsford coach did not arrive at its usual hour from Lando. yesterday ; it came in at one, laden with freemen in the interest of Mr. Leonard, who were, with their wires andfusities, forwarded to Maldon. Nrwcasets-urea-Tria.—The writs having been received by the Sheriff of this town, die day of nomination has been fixed for Friday next. Sir M. W. Ridley and C. Ellison, Etq. have both arrived.

Noovnumazatoso.—The Sherif has appointed Tuesday the eMb of this month for the commencement of the Northumberland Stec don. When it will end, it is not so easy to determine. Nearnsurroo—The new candidate has come is consequence of a requisition from the Corporation, who had voted him 10001. to wards the egpences. This vete is to be legally canvassed before the Chancellor. Norrmesuat.—blr. Birch and lard Ranciiffe are the candidates. The writs were received by the Sheriff on Sunday, and were im mediately proclaimed; the election is fixed far Thursday next, and at present no candidate has been named on the True Blue, or *fury side of the question. . o:waterloo—We understand &r Francis Onlinelimey, who his declined standing for Barnstaple, intends to oiler Umbel for the borough of Otehanipton. Pau - mm—Captaii Robert Barrie, a distinguished Officer in th. British Navy, has accepted the invitation of a numerous and bight) respectable body of the Electors of Presto*, to offer himself as . candidate for that borough, and although he comes so late in tit. held, there is no doubt of his success. Captain Barrie left tow'. last night for Preston. The writs for the Election have beer t: ceived, and the pulling will, in all probability, commence on &t ; , ; day, or Monday at farthest. Mr. Stanley was to enter last everiin: in state. Cobbett addresses ail who wish to bear him for a cos of hours; with what effect remains to be seen. QOZZI;IIIOILOUGH—Lord Downes, the Surveyor General of ti„ Ordnance, arrived at Queensborough on Thursday last. His Lord. ship is a Candidate for that Borough.

Mr. Dundas addressed the meeting, and rated the principles or which he rested for sopport. His canvas., it was stated, had been very successful. Simms WA ate— Monday evening, the friends of Sir Robert Wilson, Mr. Weatherston in the Chair, met at the Queen's Head, for cie purpose of considering what measures would be most effcc. tual to secure his return at the approaching election for the lioroug'i of Southwark. Sir Rabat's appearance was hailed with lca.l cheers by his friends, who had been compelled, by want of .. commodation, to adjourn from the Committee Roam to the y.o,i of the Inn. Mr. Blackett read two Resolutions. The first ss in approbation of Sir Robert Wilson's Parliamentary conduct . and the second censured the attempt which had been made to raise the malignant and incendiary cry of " No Popery !" et the Borough, to his prejudice. Sir Robert Wilson then pre. rented himself to the Meeting, and was received with plaudit: which were frequently repeated in the course of his speech. ""!'hough he addressed the meeting in the first person," he said, "ht pertectly identified himself with his late Colleague, Mr. Calvet. and did nut desire iseat in Parliament if the Borough was independent enough to avoid the hermaphrodite condition of turning two Members of adverse principles. (Loud chett.., The " No Po, cry" cry, he said, was attempted to be raised, lit cause be had concurred on a particular point with such met. 41 Castling, the liberator of America—with Sir Francis Burdett, tie friend and favourite of the people—with a Brougham, the tioqueh: advocate of all rights--and a Buxton, the zealous champion of negro slave. If the electors renewed the honour which they lid before conferred en him, he would adhere to the same line of conduct, which, he was proud to say, had already o►tained that approbation—( Loud cheers).—The Resolutions were passed unanimously.

TEWKEIBURT—John F.. Dowdesiveti and John Martin, Lilts. canvassed their constituents at Tewkesbury, on Friday and day last, and experienced so flattering a reception that there is no doubt whatever of their being both returned. Woacratua—Affairs are not going on so quietly in this city as some, not in the secret, might be led to suppose; and should tK, highly respectable and opulent men (who have been named) tile one a London banker, and the other a gentleman of considrrahie tank, the native of an adjoining county, accept the invitation which has been forwarded to them, blew& Davies and Robinson would have rather sharp work cut out for them. Yoausmtae— Yesterday, at half.past one o'clock. a Meetint of Freeholders of the county of York took place at the Freemasnn,' Tavern, for the purpose of facilitating the election of such Members at the ensuing election for Yorkshire as were adverse to any further concessions to the Roman Catholics.
