We have, however, received au authentic account of the recent events in the Mores, for the correctness of which we pledge our selves. It is contained in a letter from Prcvesa. PULVi.SA, MMICII 31. After three months deliberations on the best means of carrying on the war against the Turks, the parties into' which the Greeks are divided appear to be sensible that they have hitherto mutually misconceived each other's views and resources ; and the late attempt to sustain the fortunes of the Greek Insurgents, unless quickly followed up by more powerful succours, may be found in the sequel only to have aggravated their situation. The Philhellen ists must have already perceived that the divisions and dis cords existing among the numerous factions are likely to' balk, for a long time to come, any means which they can employ to vanquish this real hydra. An event happened in Nlissolonghi, about six weeks ago, whica must have ex ccedingly damped the ardour of the English volunteers in their attempt to introduce the salutary reforms which they have so much at heart ; and it will have convinced them, at the same time, of the hazard of forcing the insurgents into a course of action which is totally opposed to their habits and mod's of acting. The Philhellerists, early in January, t s *Wished a small arsenal and laboratory in the place, which was protected by a Captain's ifuard. A Suliote Cagtain, with his followers, having been refused admittance wi.hout regular permission from the superior authority, in a sudden gust of passion drew his pistol, and shot the Carta n (a Prussian Officer of Lord Byron's suite), who fell dead at his feet ! Some more persons arc said to have lost their ives in this affray. The feelings of Lord Byron were so strongly agitated by this cruel bloodshed, that he was sei el with violent epileptic fits, which excited realm alarm fur his life, but from which he happily re covered. It is undertood that the consequences of this, barbarous ate city have been extremely prejudicial to the affairs of the Insurgents, for about Is or 20 expert gunners and artificers, sent out it is said by the Greek Committee in London, imired:ately resolved to quit a country where their lives were in jeopardy every hour, by those whom they went to assist. They left Misselonghi for Zante and Cephalonia to perform quarantine. 'fhe insubordination of the Suliote battalion (about SOO strum, on whom Lord Byron chiefly relics) could no don gii be talerated in Sliesoghi. 11 itb a view to with draw them from the place, it was resolved to make a ge neral movement of the insurgents assembled there. One of the divisions was to ativanix to attack Lepanto, and the ethsr to *dearer on Arta ; but hitherto nothing has been dote, though Aria, from the real weakness of the garrison rat the inn; might easily have ben surprised, and much a!erns was felt for its safety when the Insurgents first ad verted from Misselongiii, at the beginning of this month. •It is now four months since the Turkish armies retired from Greece, leaving only small garrisons at Badrangik, Zeiturs, and Negropout. Yet, in spite of all the active , issistanoe and the strong incitements used to urge them trio action, they have not been able to make any impres sion upon those positions, or gain ground on their enemies. On the contrary, as their own internal discords have raged, non.: violently than ever, they have themselves entirely frustrated the plans so zealously urged by the English Phlfitellenista for appiri.ing and uniting their factions, and far laying Ilse basis of a more efficient general Federal rnion, according to their slew of the subject.

ST. PATRICK'S DINNER. Yesterday the anniversary dinner of this exceellett and useful charity took place at the Freemasons Tavern. The chair wit to have been taken by the Duke of Sussex, hut owing to the severe hurt in Ins knee, his Ro3al highness wit prevented frods attending, and Sir John Doyle, G C.D. presided, who read a letter frem the Royal Duke, regreting his inability to attend, and expressing his great anxiety to support the Charity. " Religious in struction (said the Royal Duke) was charity, and every good Christian, upon this principle, ought to allow that consolation to his fellow-creature which accorded best with individual feelings, and not make religious sincaity, which was a most benign and consolatory blessing, a stumbling block in the way of educatinn." Amongst the many di,- tinguished persons prtsent we noticed—Lord Stourton, Sir George Jerningham, th Hon. E. Petry. the Greek Deputies, Massey Dav:sen, E, q , Rev. Dr. Collins, &c. After " The King"--- The Duke of York and the Army"—and several other loyal toasts, had been given,l the children educated by the charity were introduced to the company. The collection excmled tool., which was a much greater sum than bad been collected at any former anniversary. Tip company separated highly delighted with the entertainment of the evenin . PRAYER.ROOK AND 110.11ILY SOCIETY. Yesterday the annual meeting in support of this Society was held at the London entree House, &Litwin:Atilt, when a numerous attendance of Ladies and teentlemen took place. Among the persona of distinction we psrticularly noticed Lords Gambier, Calthorpe, Kocksarage, and ley ; Bex the Bishops of Clare and Ohio, Dr. Morrison, of China, lie. klarahall, Sir Claudius Stephen II unter, Rev. Lir. Cunningham, and a considerable number of clergymen, Lord BEXLEY being called to the Chair, he opened the proceed. l ags ii a a b r i e f speech ; afterwr.rds the ikaetary read the Report, which he prefaced with a short address, in which he dwelt upon the great encouragement and success the Society had min with since their last annual mertir since which Ma Royal Highness. the Duke of Oloucester had condescended to become the Patron of the Society ; and several Bishops and other individuals eminent for piety bad also become annual subscribers. The Report stated, that during the la. year the Society had circulated praya-books and homily tracts, Etc. in various parts of the globe, w e that effects had been generally observable ; the member of prayer-books distributed amounted to 9.2 i.,, and that of homily tracts 104,706. In China, through the exertions of Dr. Morrison, much good had been done. The Report was received with great applause by the company. Lords Colthorpe, Rocksavage„ and several other gentlemen, de livered speeches in support of the Society ; and Dr. Morrison, in an able speech, remarked, that he bed translated the Word of nod, by which the Chinese were instructed with facility in the truths of religion. The meeting entered into a handsome subsefirtlea, and then separated. A sermon was delivered in the evening in support of the same object. SURREY SESSIONS, MAY G. ATTEMPTED FRAUD ON MESSRS. BARCLAY AND CO., THE BREWERS. Joke Henderson, a respectable-looking man, aged 28 years, was indicted foe having sent a threatening letter to Mr. Charles Bman, of the above firm, with the intent to extort money. Mr. Ts Emote. stated the case for the prosecution. The pro secution is under a statute of last year t sending a letter, and de manding money, was made death by a statute of George the Fiat ; the present statute takes up the provisions of that of George the First, milled " the Black Act," and reduces the punishment front felony without benefit of clergy to any punishment which the Court may think fit to allow. The prisoner called an Mr. Bevan, and stated that he had information of Ileum. Barclay and Co. having imported a great deal of opium, and in the evening he sent a letter 1 to Dlr. B. demanding money for keeping it sear* ; he dem a nd e d 1 the large sum of MOL which Messrs. Ducky a n ti Company, of course, refused to agree to ; and for the purpose of clearing up their character, and bringing the prisoner to punishment, an inter view was obtained with the prisoner, and he was taken into custody,' having admitted that he was the writer of the letter in question ; the prisoner, it would seem, was aware of the danger of a brewer's haring opium in his peasenion, for, by the Act of the stith of the late hung, a very heavy penalty was imposed upon the offence. 1 Messrs. It:archly and Co. had no vindictive feelings towards the 1 prisoner, but they demanded investigation, to prove tl.e falsehood of the charge of having opium in their possession, and would be smislied with any small punishment which the Court might think fit to impose on the prisoner. Mr. C. Bevan stated that the prisoner called on him in Devon shire-place,. )lacy -Isabosw.e, on 77th March, and said he understood wittiess firm were the largeet importers of opium in London, and unless they prosecuted the individual who had given hint the infurntatioo, he should conceive the report to be true. Witness desired him to quit the hot:se, deeming his visit an intntsion. In the morning he received a letter from the prhoner, dated from Red Lion street. Wapping, 'mina that he inquired of the Excise office whether a hrewer was at litcrty to import opium ; he was told " Nn ;" he add 01 he would not iniOrm the Excise before he hearu kom witness, as :IC did not consithr himself bound to keep the me- 1 art for nothing, end he would snit only until the following Wed nesday.

Sin—A contemporary Print (The !whim (tbrerrer) has lately endeavoured to enlighten the public on the subject of the East India Company's monopoly of the China trade, but in so doing has resorted to a senes of misrepresenta ' dons and a perversion of facts. I shall only notice one misstatement at present, from its being introduced as a piece of recent intelligence from India. It is stated that their last communications have acquainted them with the news that the Amerigans are carrying on a most lucrative trade with Chinas through the means of the Sandwich , Islands, by bartering American manufactures for sandal :wood, which sells at China at an exorbitant price, where it is exchar.oed for tea; and further states, that by this mode of trading the Americans make immense profits. They would lead the English public to believe, that this is the only, or it least the chief medium by which the Americans obtain their tea. Now, out of 16 American ships arrived in China last year, up to the month of October, one only was from the Sandwich Islands: and if she had been en tirely laden with sandal-weed, the probable sale amount of her cargo would not be more than '25,000 dollars. The gross annual amount of American imports from China has been lately stated in official documents presented to ('on s.ress, at upwards of 6,000,00) dollars. The quantity of sandal-wood taken to China therefore forms a proportion scarcely worthy of notice compared to this sum. No recent intelligence from India is necessary to inform us that the Americans have beets for many year; in the ha- Mt of going to the Feejee Islands for sandal-wood to take to China, but the amount has never been to the extent that the Ir dine Ol,scrrer would lead the public to believe. It is well known that Spanish dollars are the chief medium by which the Americans carry on their trade with China, excepting when they first snake a voyage to Europe for English manufactures, or opium. On a future occasion I may resume the consideration of this &abject ; and 1 am, Sir, your most obedient servant, C. D. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM-HOUSE, SIAT G. Ex? Fun iNWARDS.

The defence was grounded on the statute of limitations. The question turned principally upon a OXlTenatioll between the defendant and the plaintiff 'a agent, which had taken the ease out of the operation of the statute of limi. rations. On being applied to, the defendant had said, "It is more than six years ago, and as I stn not in a condition to pay new debts, it is of :louse fur you to ask me to Ray old ones." A verdict was gran for the' plaintiff. Mr. COWLEY this day moved for a rule to shew cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a noxwit entered, or at least a new trial granted. lie contended, that the conversation had not deprived the defendant of the benefit of the statute. The Court refused to disturb the verdict. 11l WILLIAM LVIRTIS THE INHABITANTS OF CIODLIIT. This was an action under the Ilth He*. 11. to recover certain pe nalties against the inhabitants of the Hundred of tiodley, in which the plaintiff had some plantations which had been set on fire, on the fith of May, 18A The cause was tried before the Lord Chief Baron, at the last Surrey Assises, and a verdict given for the de fendants. The defence was that the lire was accidental. _ -................. Mr. MARI VAT T this day mowed for a rule to Thew cause why • new trial should not be granted. on the ground that the verdict was contrary to evidence.—Rule granted. 'MOIRA* P. WILLIAMS. This was an action tried at the last Oxford .Isslzes, before Mr. Justice Park, to recover the amount paid on the warranty of a horse. The defence was grounded on the warrant• having been given on a Sunday. when, according to the 2Pth Chides 11. cap. 7, no man was at liberty to follow his trade or ordinary calling. Under the direction of Mr. Justice Park, a verdict was given for the plaintiff. Mr. Jwitvis this day moved for a rule to chew cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered. In this cue the defer.slant was nut following his ordinary calling. He was not horse dealer. The case of Fenton against Drury, tried before Lord Chief Justice Manolield, on which the Learned Judge had relied, was essentially different, as that was an action to recover the price of a Wm.—Rule granted. PIDCOCIC AND OTHERS V. DIMON. This was an action on a guarantee given by the defendant to the plaintiffs, in favour o o f f ex a tgi en i t s v o e n iro na n m w cd or 'icL kTs,ikue3ldhal'he h ad dealings with Tical in l i nfore the guarantee, winch was in these words: " I willguarantee you the value of 2001. for goods to be delivered to Mr. In the course of six months following two deli. reties of goods were made to Tickell by the plaintiff:. Bills were given for each delivery. The first bill was duly paid ; the second was dishonoured. The defence was, that the plaintiffs were not entitled to recover, because the guarantee was accompanied with a seem agreement between them and Tickell, by which the guarantee was vhinted. Tickell was an uncertiticatcd bankrupt. One of the plaintiff's had been a creditor under the commission against him, and the secret agreement was, that Tickell should fur each delivery of goods pay ten shillings per ton beyond the market price, in liquidation of this old debt. The bills of parcels were made out in conformity with this agreement. On the face of the bill of parcels for the goods for which this action was brought there appeared a second urns, "To part of John l'idcock's debt 101." The goods delivered were 20 tons of iron. The total amount of the bill of parcels was 921. 106. but the action was brought for only 82L 10s. the 101. on account of the old debt having been deducted. A verdict was given for the plaintiffs. The CODMON•SEIIiZANT this day moved for a rule to chew cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered, on the ground that the private contract between the plaintiff's and Tickell had been concealed from the defendant, and therefore that a fraud had been committed upon hint—Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Wzmitxgrza, THURSDAY, 31.a0r 6. GROONt AND °Traits e. SIR T. CHANPNETS, BART. SCININUIt PEts, moved, on behalf of the defendant, who he said was then in Ilchester gaol, under very peculiar circumstances of embarrassment, to have the rule directing the defendant to pay upwards of 12,11001. to the plaintiffs, enlarged. He was aware that the Court, having once already granted this indulgence to the de- fendant, they would not be inclined to do so a second time, unless some very strong affidavits were produced by him, to *hew that' the defendant had done all in his power to comply with the order ; and that the extension of the rule would not be inconsistent with justice to the plaintiffs. These affidavits he had, one of which was made by Mr. Tindall, Solicitor, of Lineolns' Inn-fields, who had bees kind enough, in the earlier progress of the cause, to lend his able assistance to the defendant ; but, in consequence of some occurrences, which it was not necessary to state to the Court, that gentleman no longer continued to act fur the Baronet. He had, however, in the handsomest manner mine forward, and made an affidavit of the circumstances situating the business, by which it appeared that the defendant had applied to several gentlemen to advance' him the sum necessary to pay the plaintiffs, agreeably to the rule of Court, and that one person had agreed to lend the n:oney ; but in consequence of an opinion of Counsel, taken on the title, that person had since declined to make the advance. The Learned Sergeant then said that the objections of Counsel seemed to be grounded on the fact of certain annuity deeds being in the baud. of the plaintiffs, which were necessary to assist the de fendant in making out a prior tide to the incumbrancers. All, therefore, that he required was, that those deeds should be directed to be given up, when he had no doubt the money would be raised. Sergeant VAUGIIAX said that the defendant had a copy of the dead, and that Sir T. Chain net's had had every indulgence. Sergeant Pau. replied, that as tar as he was instructed, such vas not the Cane. The COURT suggested whethar a week or ten days would not answer the object (tithe defendant ; and it wax finally atirowl that the rule should be extendcd 14 days, the defendant then to pay the money peremptorily. PERSA3I V. RAYNER AND °Turns. SergeNntRONANQUET said this was an action tried to recover the amount of a joint and several note of hand, to which the defend ants pleaded the general issue and the statute of limitations. It appearing however in evidence that one of the parties had acknow ledged the debt, verdict was given for the plaintiff: He now ap plied for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside; because, he contended, that the acknowledgment of one of several parties to s joint and several note could not deprive the rest of the benefit of the statute. The Leagued sergeant quoted Whit comb v.lVhiting es !is), Atkins 1% Tredgold (2 Dos. and ( ress. p. 411), and Booth v. Quin l 7 Prim, ISO). an authorities that the acknowledgment of a pnncipal could not take the case out of the statute awing the securities. The Court—lt is very hard to make one man answerable for an. other in MCI like these ; but the practice of this Court and the ge :lend current of the cases being that the acknowledgment of one of seseral parties to a note of hand shall bind thou all. We cannot adopt a different course.—Rule refused. assun AND orimas V. nut nwaY. Sergeant Iltas.iwut - ET moved for a rule to chew cause why the defendant, who was in custody at the wit of the plaintiffs, 'Wald ' not be discharged, and a satisfaction entered on the record. He I said that the tierendani had been some time before taken in imecu. tion by the plaintiffs fin , the same debt, subsequent to which a cont. mission of bankrupt had. issued against the defindant. sod the plaintids applied ro.prove digir debt, but the commiiatoners refused ifi 1 to take th eir proof. utile , * th e rst discharged the defendant o u t o f custody, which they sec •A y did. The commission, howeve r , having been supersesol, the i miffs issued a second re. At. and the defendant was regain taken in execution. lie submitted to the Court that the 'Anhui% listing once relinquished the actien, they could not proceed afresh upon their former pdtunent. The Colby thought, that the Commission having been super. ceded, the whole proceedings under it became a nullity, and that the plaintiffs were restored to all their former rights ; at all events, this question would be soon set et rest, for the Bill now before Par. Foment, for consolidating the Bankrupt Laws, had a clause to that', effect. •efp•ant nOSAN ‘11•17T then quoted wenl eases in Tidd. on %Inch he relied, opeciully one, in 2 Ease, p. 243. —Hui, grentcd. CITV BUSIXESS. A Court of Common Council was held vesteiday at Ouildhali. Th.: Committee for moving the subseription for tie relief o: the depressed colonists at the ('ape of Oood Hope s pres ente d memorial. requesting a donation in aid of that subscnpilen, was referred to the Committee for general purposes.

The Court, after a short discussion, agreed with the rcrori, red directed petitions to be immediately presented to Parliament, for leave to bring in a Bill for effecting this important purpose ; an d the Committee were empowered to prosecute the petitions as tl!es should be advised. POLICE. LAMBETH-STREET. A CAst or Btriteii:AOl..=-I'eaterdriyafernde, about 20 years of age, and of prepossessing appearance, named Elizabeth Prz,hy„ was brought before WYATT, Esq. the Magistrate, by an oe. one named Fortune, ander the charge of being concerned is a btu glary and rubbery at the house of Mr. Barkley, in Rupert-street, Alts. Barkley deposed, that on the night cf the 26 t h ul t . the fa mily had retired to rest rbout eleven o'clock, but previously to her going to bed, she secured all the fastenings of the house. Earl,: next morning, between six and seven o'clock, the maid servant, on going down stain, found the house in 'Feat disorder; every d:awe' and depository in the back parlour had been broken open, and plate, in; ellery, wearing . apparel, dec. to a very great extent, had been stolen. On examining the house, it was diveovereel that toe robbers had entered at the back door, which was nearly broken to pieces, to obtain entrance. A few days previous to the robber,, the prisoner, who had lodged In the house, left it veil suddeli ; I but whilst she resided there, she was constantly visited by a young man, who, it appears, was . paying his addresses to h a . and, on the night prior to the prisoner leaving her lodgings, be called as usual, but seemed to be more inquisitive about the pre mises. This circumstance exciting the suspicion of witness, she accordingly gave information to Fortune, who traced the prisoner to her subsequent lodgings in Lemon Street, Goodman' this. On searching her apartment be found sundry articles of wearing ap parel that had been stolen from her (witness's) house, and on Ler person was found a duplicate of a silver soup-ladle and a pair of sugar tongs, also her property. Fortune, the officer, produced the duplicates found on the pri soner, which appeared to be for nearly the whole of the stolen pro perty, pledged at different pawnbrokers in the neighbourhood, but only one was present who could identify the prisor.cr as the person who had pledged sonic of the property. Mr. WYATT lamented that pawnbrokers were not more porn color in receiving property from persons whose appearance was in. sulted to the articles they offered for pledge. lie did not, in this observation, allude to the prisoner ; but he had noticed Ma* ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, the parties who have bees talks into custody few pledging property, could not be identified by the pawnbrokers. He wondered the new Philanthropic Institution which was about to be established had not made them mare cautious and vigilant. The prisoner, oa being called on for her denotes, wept most bit. terly, and solemnly declared her innocesse of the robbery ; but acknowledged ple dging the property at the request of a young man who was paying his addresses to her. The case being fully established, the prisoner was committed G take hernial. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING, 1323. WEDX ESDAT. Mr. Greville's Logic beat Lord G. H.
