The news from Greece in the French Papers, which we received last night, is, we regret to say, of a very unsatis factory nature. We are afraid that there is no truth in the report respecting the capture of ISRAHIK PACHA. . At the date of the latest accounts he was still encamped on the plains of Tripolizza. It appears certain, however, that the Egyptian Commander was wounded in an encounter with COLOCOTRONI ; and according to one statement he has been wounded a second time in a battle of a more serious character, the result of which is not announced. In all the intelligence we have from the Mores there is so much obscurity, that it is difficult to strive at any knowledge of what is passing there. • All that we can learn of the present state of the contest is, • that ID RIMINI Pscna remained at Tripolizza, but whether from choice or necessity we know not. One fact also is quite clear, viz. that the Austrian Government is lending . its aid in every way to accomplish the subjugation•of the • Greeks. The Turkish transports, which are mostly ' Austrian vessels, are protected by Austrian ships of war • from the attacks of the Greek fleet. It is reported that the Puha of Egypt is fitting out another expedition, as pow • erful as the former. From what source can be derive a revenue equal to 'Such expenses? All the profits of his • new cotton trade can hardly be sufficient to have qualified • 'bins for another effort of the saute magnitude with that which he confided to his son's command. We therefore • disbelieve the fact. We shall be able to form no accurate judgment as to the probable result of the campaign till we Lave somo official or authentic despatches from the seat of war. Ti• c state of Spain every day approaches more nearly to I iLs ci Isis. The Royal authority cannot be much longer up without the interference of France. Since the forma tior: of the camp on the frontiers the Monks have preached more violently than ever against the French: their sermons arc 'filled with the strongest provocations of the fury of the populace against their late friends and allies, whom they now stigmatize as hisolent intruders. The KING has issued a I)ecree suppressing all the military and permament executive commissions, which were established in ill the capital towns of the kingdom and the Balearic Islands, by order of the Royal Decree of Jan. 13, 19'24, General MIRANDA is appointed second in command in the I island of Cuba. This General distinguished himself in dispersing the troops of RIEGO. The emorial Bordelna, in its correspondence from Madrid, states the following fact:— " M. Gregory writes to his correspondent at Madrid, that all hope of a loan in England was at an end, whatever might Le the proposals made by Spain. The Englisluusn who has been here during the last month, arid who offers to supply the Spanish government with some Austrian vends now lying at Trieste, be gins to lose his patience. lie is making preparations for his de putises." Connected with this subject, we observe the following paragraph in the Journal de Toulouse By advices from Madrid of the Ilth, we learn that the depar. toe of M. Tessin for Paris, on his return from La crania, has git en rise to many conjectures in the Spanish capital. It is gene rally believed that important negotiations are pending. The pe culiar situation occupied by M. Tessin, the experience he has ac. 7. ,0 1419,1111. _,,_ _ gaited durint his stay i 2 Madrid, his wise and moderate views in political and financial matters—all these considerations induce the Spaniards to hope that his journey will be attended with favourable results, and that the condition of the finances of Spain will shortly be improved." _ _ The Spanish Government has one obvious course to fol low, if, in order to improve its finances, it is willing to act fairly and honourably to all its creditors. If it persists in refusing to do justice to any portion of them, no expedient can restore its credit. The following are extracts from the Paris journals:— [From the Etoik dated Wednesday.] PARIS, MTG. 23. A letter which we received from Corfu contains the following news d ela flechelle arrived from Pegs on the 17th inst. (July). lie entered the Lament) the 21st, where lie is treated with all desirable attention. He has even obtained the rare favour of making theSpoglio a formality, which consists in plunging into water, afterwards to put on other clothes, and to perform 14 days, ' quarantine, instead of 27. He will leave the Lazaretto the 7th of next month. It is affirmed that a correspondence with the Tarts has been dis covered at Missolongi. Two Englishmen have been shot, and se veral others thrown into prison, in consequence of this discovery. It is affirmed that Colocotroni is eager to use a violent re-action against the individuals of the party which was oppo►ed to him, and that he has them arrested and shot on the most frivolous pre text. It is confirmed that the convoys which follow the Turkish fleet are protected by the Austrian ships of war, most of the transports being Austrian vessels. A vessel which has arrived at Alexandria, after a pretty long paasage, brings the news that another expedition was preparing in Egypt u strong as the first, and it is asserted that the greater part of the Egyptian fleet is gone to fetch it. An inhabitant of this island has received the following letter, written by an offices in the suite of the Capitan.Pacha, dated 10th July : __ "We arrived to-day at two o'clock in the afternoon at Kriog. urys, near to slissolonglii. A Tartar has come from Redschid Pacha to inform the Capitan Pacha, that it would take two days more to fill up the ditches of Missolonghi—that the place is in a very bad condition, and that it will be taken as soon as it can be attacked—that Jusuff Puha has made himself master of Vostins—that Redictin Pacha has also sent troops 'to Salons, and has penetrated into that town—that all the roads are open on the side towards Peeves. and Negropont ; in short, that Ibrahim Puha is master of almost the whole of the Mores. I cannot tell you any more at present, as we are just arrived, and the Tartar is going to depart." Letters from Preemie of the 25th July, announce that Ibrahim Puha was blockaded in Tripoli= by: Demetrius Ypsilanti, in consequence of a check sustained by the troops which landed at Navarino. It is certain ,that this Egyptian has been wounded in the left shoulder, in an affair which took place between him and Colocotroni. It was affirmed at Zante, that this General had joined the forces of Ibrahim, and that the Greek Government, in despair at this desertion, had hoisted the English colours. This news was immediately contradicted. It seems certain, on the con trary, that a very serious action has taken place in the plains of Tripolizza, and that Ibrahim Pacha received there a second wound. (From the Journal des Debar of Tuesday.) CONSTANTINOPLI, JULY 15. The Porte, which does not desire that its subjects should reason upon politics, has forbidden the news from Greece to be spoken of in the public places. The diplomatic body at Pera is against the Greeks, so that it is difficult to judge of the true state of affairs. According to the official communications made to the Chief Officers of the State the news from the Mores is always in favour of the Turks; that Ibrahim Pacha, whose attempt upon the post of the Hilts would have succeeded had it not been for the assistance some French officers gave the Greeks, has retreated to Tripolizza, 'but Hussein Pacha, who had landed at Navarino with 3,000 men, joined him soon afterwards. It is thought, therefore, that he will immediately resume offensive operations. The Porte has sent a very bitter note to the English Legation, complaining of the assistance and encouragement which the Greeks of Napoli di Romania had received from the Naval Commander on that station. It is even said, that after the fight the English occu pied the citadel of Napoli. This, however, is not very probable; but it appears certain that the English Cabiset has changed its opinion with respect to the affairs of Greens, and favours the i lnsurgents.

The Amsterdam Papers of iVednesday arrived last night. The Journalists of Brussels, it appears, are alarmed at the intended application of the lithographical process to the reprinting of the French newspapers in that city. This seems to be an evil which the Government of the Netherlands is called upon to suppress, in defence of the interests of the State, as well as for the protection of the property of the Belgic Journalists, who ought not, in common justice, to be exposed to so ruinous a competition. The public authorities of Antwerp have, very properly, ordered proceedings to be instituted against some of the old ecclesiastics who have been exciting alarm and uneasiness in the mind■ of the purchasers of national domains. This is a salutary measure. Nothing less severe will prevent the revival of those claims, by which the tranquillity of and welfare of the community will, while they are per mitted, be always agitated. The Austrian Government, we learn by an article from Trieste, is throwing off every semblance of neutrality with regard to the Greek contest. Permission has been formally given to a merchant of that city to build, in the arsenal of Venice, a frigate of .56 or 60 guns, for the Pacha of EGlr rr, and all the materials will be furnished from the public ma gazine at the Tariff prices. All doubt seems ended with respect to the private marriage of the Archduchess Altair A LOL ISA to her Gentleman Usher, the Count de Nei PPE sr:. In addition to the other honours lately conferred on him by the Emperor of AUSTRIA, he is shortly to be created a Prince. The Times of yesterday, no doubt, from the want of other topics of more immediate interest, selected the conduct of Mr. JrSTICE BAYLEY, in a trial which took place at Lancaster, on the last day of the Assizes, as affording ground for public animadversion. The case adverted to is, that of the man prosecuted for an assault on MARY TE•EDAL e, with intent, &c., in which the Learned Judge interrupted the cross-examination by putting it to the Counsel for the Crown, whether be would proceed in the case after what had then appeared. The journalist takes offence at this interruption, as tending to preclude the strict administra tion of penal justice. Now, why the time of the Court should be exhausted in striving to establish a charge which there can manifestly be no sufficient evidence behind to support, we really do nut see. An advocate may display an abundance of ingenuity and talent, long after he is him self conscious that lie is on the wrong side. The Judge, whose mind is solely intent upon the bearings of the evidence, and who keeps strictly in view the nature and relevancy of the proof, may be allowed, we think, without blame, to suggest to the Counsel, whether, if be has no better evidence to substantiate his cue, he may think it worth while to plinth: it further? For, be it remembered, that it is during the prosecutor's charge, not the prisoner's defence, that the suggestion is thrown out, and it would be a novel imputation against a Judge, that in a criminal case he took part against the interests of public justice. The particulars of the charge in question are not of a nature tha t should induce us to pursue them into any length of dis cussion; we may, however, say, salvo pudore, that we think the Learned Judge's comment on the conduct of NI ARV T E A lIDA L E fairly justified the conclusion drawn from it, that the charge against the accused could not consistently be supported. " There is still one more point," says the writer, " worth ... _.;.r.,~~"~'av' . notice in this interesting trial : 1 1 / 4 1r. Justice 'Balmer ac 'counted for his own interference on the ground that h e had seen the depositions,'—inferring, of course, an incon sistency between them and the parole evidence which the Jury had heard. This, again, we submit with all humi lity, is not a fair plea for stopping a criminal prosecution. If the. Judge meant to rely on a discrepancy between the evidence and the depositions before the Magistrate, he ought to have let the Jury themselves hear the depositions read by the proper officer, and judge whether the incon sistency was real, or a pure fancy of the Judge. There is an end of trial by Jury, if the Judge can, by his own unsupported construction of examinations which are not produced, overturn the whole evidence on the trial, and thus substitute his dictuik for the verdict of twelve jury men. The prejudice of a Learned Judge in a cause may not be criminal—his anxiety for the prisoner may result ' from a laudable feeling ; but neither one nor the other ought to be permitted to impede the course of justice." These exceptions are takes in the mere spirit of cavilling. Mr. Justice BAYLZY had seen the depositions, and he was surely competent to judge if they were insuf ficient to sustain the charge ; in which cue, as the ac cuser could not be permitted, by swearing to new matter, to supply the deficiency, the ends of justice, so far from being impeded by putting a stop to such an attempt, could not have been forwarded by any other course. The Counsel for the prosecution must also have seen the depositions, and was not likely to have acquiesced in any erroneous con struction of them—to I" Ar tz ?edge " thus substituting his dictum for the verdao. 41/try," is therefore mere de clamation. It is fortunate, after all, that we live in times when a Judge is attacked for administering the law in a criminal case, upon a principle too favourable to the pri soner. We know of no other country in which those who preside in its criminal tribunals can be charged with inter posing a check in favour of a too scrupulous justice. Those who are versed in English history might readily re fer to a time when the depositaries of judicial power ex posed themselves to a very opposite accusation. And with the -records which the past furnishes to our recollection, we shall never be forward to quarrel with our Judges for the over•anxiety they may manifest to protect the accused from being entangled by improper evidence, or suffering from an unjust verdict. In our police intelligence it will be observed, and we are sure with regret by all the true friends of Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, that he has committed a fresh indiscretion (to call it by the mildest term) in his magisterial capacity. In consequence of a report which was published a few days ago, Sir R. Btu: is fell under the just animadversions of the press with respect to the want of temper and propriety which had characterised his demeanour towards a gentle man brought before him on the strange charge of being disorderly because he did not " move on" at the instant he was ordered so to do by a watchman. • The report in which Sir IL BIRNIZ'S condurt appeared the least amiable or gentlemanlike, was one that was inserted in an evening paper. We have not heard that it has been alleged that this or any other report of that transaction was in any material point incorrect. The differences in the several reports were, as to matters, wholly insignifi cant. In the main facts they all agreed. Some were given more in detail, but substantially they were alike. The particular report to which we have alluded differed from the othela only in being rather longer ; and therefore per haps asit related more than thereat of an occurrence which ought never to have taken place, it was the most disagree able to the wrong doer. The tendency of that report, and of the others also was 111reprelent sir R. Brasile as being occasionally liable to forget the manners of a gentleman while officiating as a magistrate. Yesterday, in order, we suppose, to show l*w unfounded was such an imputation upon his behaviour, he suddenly leaves the magisterial bench, and, accosting two reporters for the evening papers, who were silently listening to the proceed ings, abruptly required them to give an account of them selves, and, without waiting for an answer, directed them to be turned out of the office ! There was some improvemen t of manner in this proceeding, we must admit. Sir R DIRNIE did not begin by asking them whether they were thieves or honest men, as in the case of Mr. GA x are, neither did lie wait till they had replied, and then tell them he did not believe one word they had said. But the treatment he inflicted upon them was, upon the whole, not much less degrading than if they had been vagabonds of the most abandoned character. It is insinuated that Sir R. BIRNIE disliked these Reporters for the Evening Papers, and that he prefers having his deeds recorded only by the more flattering penr of the Reporters for the Morn ing Papers. This must be a calumny. It cannot be that a Police Magistrate would dare to make so flagrant an at tempt to corrupt the sources of public information. But why did Sir R. Maxie lay himself open to so sinister a construction, by rudely and illegally ordering those per sons to be expelled from his office, and those persons only, whom it was understood be regarded as having given him offence by their too minute and faithful publication of his proceedings ? CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The business of the Consols Market was almost exclu sively confined to settling accounts, the result of which was a heavy depression in British securities; for the trans_ actions to-day amongst jobbers showed the probability of to-morrow being a bull account; viz. that there would be plenty of stock for delivery, which had a necessary ten., Jersey towards a decline in them for to-morrow's Account, and for Money the price was 891 I, and for the October Account 89j with a very lusty appearance. Exchequer Bills were from 17e. to its, -Matey was very scarce. In the Foreign Market the variation was principally in Greek Scrip, which opened at 12f, and at that price con tinued steady till towards one o'clock, when it suddenly retrograded to 144 15. This security, chiefly, we believe, owing to the efforts of a party against it, has been particu larly sensitive when news even of an equivocal nature has arrived; and the letters from Zante, putting the most un favourable construction upon them, can only be considered in that light. They are dated the 18th July, and state that Ibrahim Pacha (who, it seems, has not been made prisoner) had been reinforced, and that all Colocotroni's endeavours could not prevent the junction of the new levies with the main army. On the other hand, in the same letters it is stated that Colocotroni was acting with great decision, and that the most vigorous efforts were making at Napoli di Romania to attack the enemy. This infor mation, received by mercantile houses in the City, is con firmed by adrices transmitted to the Greek Deputies, who, we know, are in high spirits, anticipating a favourable issue to the cause in which their countrymen are engaged. At one time there were sellers of Scrip at 13} discount, but afterwards the market rather improved, and left off at 134 4. South American securities continued languid, as indeed did every stock in the market. Colombian Bonds were at B'2l, and Mexican Scrip 41 discount. Brazilian Scrip was at 6 64 discount, and the new Guatemala Scrip at 1 to 4 discount. Spanish Securities were only a shade worse ; the old being st+ 1, and the new 174. From the above statement, they who run may read that the marked feature 'of the money markets was a gloom almost amounting to a' panic. Indeed in Greek Scrip no other name can be ap plied to the decline, for it went down from 12i to 14i in a much less time than we were writing.the account of it. The Share Market partook of the general gloom. Anglo-Mexican and United Mexican Shares are lower; the former 63 73, the latter 18 22. So little business was doing in the minor shares that quotations of them can scarcely be made. Every thing was equally gloomy in Mincing-lane. Coffee and Sugar declined in price, and Rum was held very heavily. There are letters in town from Gibraltar of the 4th August, which state that nothing is decided relative to the fish duties. The same letters also mention that it is currently reported a large body of French troops are or dered to march into Spain. It is stated in a letter from Paris, that great interest has been excited there by the conference held at the Hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, between him and the Russian, Austrian, Prussian, and Spanish Ambassa dors. The nature of this conference Lad not, of course, transpired in an authentic way, but in the best circles it was said to Lave related to the affairs of Spain. The general impression was, that the Ambassadors of the Al lied Powers had communicated to the Spanish Minister their determination not to support Ferdinand any longer in the course which he has so long pursued ; hut at the same time expressing their readiness to co-operate for the, subjugation of the faction, which, whilst it exists in force, must render vain all hope of improving the financial and general condition of Spain. It is stated that Count Hardenberg, the Hanoverian Minister to the Court of Austria, is about to be succeeded by Count Von Meerveldt. The Aligemeine Zeitung of the 19th instant, mentions, urider date of Augsburg, August IT, on the authority of a letter from Constantinople, that on the 10th July, 6,000 Egyptian troops had arrived before Missolonglii, in order to assist Redschid Pacha to take that town by storm, or oblige it to surrender. Ibrahim Pacha had still his head-quar ters at Tripolizza. 1 The letters by the Turkey mail yesterday were from Con-1 stantinople the 25th, and from Smyrna the 18th ult. The former contain no news; from the latter it is admitted that authentic accounts were received that Ibrahim Pacha bad retreated from before Napoli di Romania : but the letters' ascribe the movement to the want of provisions, and make no mention whatever of any engagement. Letters from Pest state, that Captain Brown, an Eng lishman, has offered to light that city with gas, and his pro posals are likely to be accepted. In all the Continental States the value of this improved mode of lighting seems to be duly appreciated. M. Schwabe], a mechanic of Strasburg, bas just in vented a triangular machine, with a lever, to replace the hydraulic lever, which possesses the double action applica ble to all machines moved by water or horses, either for spinning, flour-mills, sawing, forge-bellows, &c. It faci litates by its strength the machine to which it is applied, giving it a snore regular movement, and fills the place of two horses where four are required—and is also very use. ful in times of drought, as it will work a machine with half the quantity of water. A watchmaker of Bayreuth has manufactured a cage filled with birds, to the number of sixty, representing par rots, sparrows, swallows, &c. each of which has the pecu liar note given by nature. The cage is made of brass, and the wheels which make them move and produce the sound are of silver; the plumage is real. A person of distinc tion, it appears, offered the watchmaker 32,000 florins for his cage, but he will not take less than 60,000. The township of Frampton, ten leagues from Quebec, has lately been visited by a great many bears, which have destroyed some cattle, and considerably lacerated others. Qv lc K PASSAG ES.—Mre perceive, by the ship news, that the Flora, Captain Farrant, made her passage from this port to Buenos Ayres in the short space of sixty-one days. It is worthy of remark, that the Flora made her last pas sage from Buenos Ayres to Liverpool in sixty-one days also.—Liver pool Courier. THE " COMMUNITY" MANI/J.—lt appears that Owen is to have a rival in his community system ; an association, modelled on his plan, has been formed in Cincinnati, who have purchaied a tract of land of upwards of 700 acres, in Greene County (Ohio), including the Yellow Spring, et miles from Cincinnati, and three from the Little Miami Falls, for the purpose of establishing a com munity agreeably to the plan of Robert Owen. A consti tution has been adopted, and it is said the community has already commenced operations.— Washington Gazette. CONVERSION FROM C•THOI week the little town of Gorey was more than usually animated. A young man, who was lately a Roman Catholic Priest, but who is now a member of the Established Church, preached in the street to an immense congregation. Even the reapers I from the neighbouring fields came in crowds to listen to him. He is rather poorly dressed ; his voice is exceedingly powerful, and his delivery clear and distinct. lie is at present at the house of the Rev. Jemmet l'ark. It is ex pected that lie will preach in this town in a few days. We understand he has refused to accept of any situation or emolument, but has expressed his determination to travel through the country, and preach against those doctrines which he so lately renounced. He is said to be the Rev. Mr. APSweeney, who took so active a part in the memor able Carlow discussion.—Wexford Herald. A FEMALE PREIACHER.—A gentlewoman of decent ap pearance, who is travelling through the country preaching (or rather exhorting), visited our town (Shawnee Town, Illinois) on Wednesday last ; she seems an extraordinary be ing, of considerable understanding and common education. She delivered a discourse, which occupied about an hour and a half, was concise in her arguments, affording a clear connexion of ideas in the arrangement of her subject, of a happy and easy delivery (excepting a few inaccuracies of expression), solemn but mild in her address, and graceful in her gestures. She takes no text, but frequently makes quotations from holy writ, and poetic authors, by way of evidence and ornament. She says she is induced to travel under conviction of duty, having been visited and instructed to the task by the divine spirit, about three years ago. She is about 35 years old, slender form, and, pilgrim-like, she travels entirely on foot, utterly refusing the offers of conveyance. We are told she carries with her none other than the clothes which she has immediate use for, depend ing entirely upon having her wants supplied when neces sity may require.—Arrierican Paper. REGENT'S PAM—The vast increase of buildings in this quarter has suggested the necessity of constructing a reservoir for the supply of water to the new neighbourbood. A work of this kind has been going on for some months, and being now near its completiTi, attracts a good deal of curiosity. It is advantageously situated on Little Primro s e Hill, from which elevation, being 173 feet above the level of the Thames, the liquid body will flow from a point higher than any building in :Vary-la-bonne, and be enabled, consequently, to invade the topmast chamber in the parish with ease. The basin will be 20 feet deep, and cover an area of two acres, and when finished will be enclosed by a wall with an ornamental palisade, so as to render it an object of embellishment to the Park. It will contain 18,000 tuns of water, considered to be adequate to the sup ply of as many houses; and the fluid will be brought from the Thames above Hammersmith, a distance not less than seven miles. The increase of houses in the parish of Mary-lc-bone has been from 9,000 to 14,000 within the last two years. The cost of this work has been computed at 23,0001. The Derby Aferctir gives an account of the opening of a Mechanics' Institution in that town. The objects of the patrons of the establishment were ably set forth at great length by the Rev. Edward Higginson. lie closed his ad dress, enforcing the importance of connecting religious principles with the pursuits of learning, in the following impressive words:—" Yet though I did not wish to ex hibit before you the preacher rather than the lecturer, I do even here feel myself quite in my proper place, in ex-, pressing my ardent hopes that your inquiries into the wonders of nature and the laws of the creation will always lead your minds to the adoration and obedience of the peat former and Lord of aIL if,' says Paley, one train of thought be more desirable than another, it is that which regards the phenomena of nature with a constant reference to a supreme intelligent author. To have made this the habitual sentiment of our minds, is to have laid the foun dation of every thing which is religious.
