IMPORTANT CONVICTION UNDER THE REVENUE LAWS. The law under which the following conviction WAS had, we conceive to be most cruel and oppres s indefensible in its principle, and incompatible wills that protection of property, and liberty of the subject, which every person living under the British Consiiintion is supposed to enjoy ; and, with Cutin• sent" Finlay, we say. "curse upon the Into that is 1:01 tempered with jnsiiee." Captain Thompson, DI the brig Good latent, from St. John's to Dub lin, and his crew, consisting of the following per moisois. Jolla Nichol!, Josephs Morris', Peter Ko• bingo'', Robert Campbell, William Black, and Wilhem Steele/all, were on Saturday last brought before the Magistrates of College-street police eflice. Doctor Doggan being examined—Deposed, that having inspected the Prisoners, he found them fit .eitist able to serve is his Sleirste's navy, with the exception of Joseph Morriss and William Sled's'', the latter being a boy under 13 years. Joseph Jacob, a revenue officer, stated, that on Friday morning he went on board the brig Good Intent, and found four kegs, with about an inch of •pitch in the bunghole of each; that on opening them he found they contained a quantity of to bacco enclosed in canvass bags : the weight of the contents of one cask was 2041b5.; if tilled with pitch, it would tint weigh more than 601 b.; the pitch he believed to have been placed over the bung hole for the purpose of concealing its contents; he found the Prisoners at the bar all on hoard.- ' The Magistrate, Counsellor Gstiesre, said, that under the Statute he had oo discretion, after the .evidence given, but to sentence the Prisoners (not pametigers, and being British subjects), to be re •lncried on hoard one of hts Majesty's ships of war, and, until that could be accomplished, they were to be committed to gaol for a time not exceeding one 'month. The two Prisoners not capable of serving .its his Majesty's navy, were to pay to the King a penalty of 1001. or be confined iu gaol until such loom was paid: The Solicitor for the Prisoners requested of the Magistrate to examine a witness whose deposition it might not be convenient to obtain when the case should be brought before the Commissitmers of Gastonia. • George Hamilton being then sworn, stated, that he came passenger in the brig Good Intent, from St: John's, -Newfoundland; there were also two other passengers, named Michael M'Gloughlin and Patrick M'Clincliy, who have since absconded ; that he had agreed with those two persona to join them iii the purchase of their see-stot k, for which they ()ought some biscuit and flour in four kegs; after being a few days at yes, the witness demanded of 31*Gloughlin and M'Clinchy some flour; they put him oft with some trilling excuse, but the next day having instated upon obtaining mime flour, they confessed to him that the kegs were filled with tnbacco„ and requebtrd of him not to menti ssss it to the crew. He further stared. that he verily be 'sewed the Captaiii nor any of the crew had any knowledge whatsoever of the transaction. The. Solicitor then inquired if the Magistrates would lake bed for the Captain, whose pretence On board the ship was required for the protection of this owner's property. The worthy and humane Magistrate regretted that he had so power to take bail ; all he could do would be to give them the choice of the prison in which they should be confined. The Prisoners were then removed, and all of them, particularly the Captain, appeared consider ably affected. The Act does not state any definite time for the imprisonment of such as are unable to pay the penalty of 1001. so that under these cir commences •ite two unfortunate sailor. may remain in prison dining their lifetime. STATE air THE VREEkSk ''e have conversed with an intelligent Greek gentleman now in England, who left the Mona in Mardi last. The information we have received frumps,' confirms generally the views we have taken of the condition and prospects of his countrymen. He thinks our estimate of their numbers in Euro peen Turkey (two millions sod • half) rather low. But though their numerical force Is inconsiderable compared with thnt of their enemies, he is 611 n- R isme in his hopes of their ultimate success. He builds liis confidence chiefly on their enthusiasm, their nautical skill, their superiority to the enemy in activity and intelligence, and the disorganised state of the Turkish empire. He describes them as pretty well supplied with email arms, but de ficient in field artillery ; as tolerably considering their circutputunees, sod capable of be ing rendered excellent regular soldier". Their great difficulty is the want of money, supplies of whieb would serve them much more titan supplies of men. The Christians of Allman, he affirms, have gene rally made a common cause with the Greeks, and if the insurrection is mitintsined some time longer, the Serviette will rise in anus. He agrees with us that the Greek. have little prospect at present of driving the Turks into Asia, but they may dispossess them of Greece Proper ; and, within ten or fifteen years, when their govermnent is consolidated, they may have the glory of delivering Europe from these harbatians, who hive so long defied the power of Austria and Russia. Compared with the neigh bouring people, and considering the thraldom they have been held in, the Greeks are tolerably well informed.. About thirty in a hundred can read, and • newspaper in the Routine language is pub lished every four or six days at Coriuth, under the nippier' of the government. Among all classes a Enlisted cud fseiounte subject of conventation is the exploits of their ancestors, with whose history they are all Jess or more acquainted. He is con fident that by this time the Greeks are masters of nearly all Crete, where (contrary to the testimony of Olivier) they greatly outnumber the Turks. By sea their greatest disadvantage is the want of shops of war. The merchant vessels, in which they have hitherto fought, are too small to be laid alongside of the Turkish ship* of the line—and hence, not being able to capture their enemies' ships, they have succeeded chiefly by burning them. Lastly, Our informant was present at the siege of Tripes Inas, and assures us, in the most positive mousier, that there was no capitulation in the case. The Turks had indeed proposed to surrender to gain time, as the fleet of the Capitan Bey suss off the coast; but the Greeks were aware of their object, cud no terms were agreed upon. They gained pos session of a. battery by stratagem. from which they entered the city by assault. Some of the Turks, of course, fared as men found with arms in their hands usually fare in a stormed city ; and we leave it to the eulogists of Turkish humanity to find out a reason why the Greeks should have respected the persons of their oppressots, more than she British ur French would live respected their enemies in si milar Circumstances.— (SCOLISINaII.) besTRUCTIVR FIRE, AND DISGRACEFUL coriDucr OP Tl!i ASSEMOLSD MOB. About half past nine o'clock cm Saturday evening a de @tractive fire broke out i■ a large hop stowage belonging to J. Ellis, Esq. situated at the back of Hall Place, Banning. The Armes spread with the greatest rapidity, and it was much feared that the extensive outhouse adjoining, which was connected with it by a curried platform, would fall a prey to the devouring element, bet fortunately the plat. form was removed before the flame reached it, and al though the outhouse had at one time caught fire, it was suou extinguished, and the building was preserved, prig. eipally owing to • small engine kept on the premises.— The flames by this time had communicated to a cottage •djoini•g the stowage, from whence it soon spread to the back part of Hall Place, which' was shortly in ■ com plete blaze. At this Juncture the Kent iiigiues arrived from Maidstone, end were soon followed by the Norwich Union, but owing to the want of water, which was only to be obtained from pumps and wells •t • distance off, they were unable to stook for some time, sad thee (Myst intervals as the engines could get filled. Orriog to this circumstance the fire was • ling time before it could be gut ender, and it was principally owing to the very thick walls of ibis ancient mansion that the flames were p r led from extending. Had they communicated to a waggon lodge at the west end of the ►ouse, the greeter part of the buildings in the yard, with several houses iu thy street, must inevita►ly have bees destroyed, as the ivied set completely in that direction. It was three o'clock before all apprehensions for their safety were removed. The wbok of the stowage building, con taining eight tons of hops, packed and unpacked, together with a cottage adjoining, were eutirrly consumed. Hall Place, formerly the residence of Jobs Cale, Esq. but for malty years occupied by Mr. Pitcher as a ►chool, was the greater part destroyed, scarcely any tieing but the bare walls and chintnies being left standing. The fire is supposed to have originated Gum • lighted candle failing amongst the bops as they were being packed. The premises, with the bops, elm is t►e stowage, 'were msured ; but we re gret to slate that the forniinre beloisging to Mr. Pitcher was nut, much of which was injured and destroyed, and seve. rat articles of slue stolen, among which were two watches. The damage in the whole is estimated at between I and 3,0001. We cannot duet this account without &defiling to a subject which we fain would have b,esi spared—we allude to the apathy and indifference with which hundredaef the hop-pickers •cad others stood by and witueosed jhe con flagration without offering a bail to suppress it, and whn, wire entreated so to do, with jeers and miles, refused.

On Tuesday evening an Inquest was held is She Board Room of Middlesex Hospital, before Thomas Stirling, Em. Coroner, on view of the body of Joseph Edwards, who an. fortanately met his death in consequence of a fall from a scaffold. The evidence went to prove that the &ceased was at work on the top of a house, 61, Great Marlborough-street, when he accidentally fell off, a &sluice of 47 feet, and was killed; the Jury, therefore, returned a verdict of Aecideletvi Death. Sunday forenoon, between one and two o'clock. a large porpoise was seen in the Thames, just oppo site Btllingagute, and continued in ►ight a long time. Pot going farther than London Bridge. Its jumping in and out of the water afforded much amusement to some thousands of persons assembled on the sides of the river, and on London Bridge. On some boot.: putting off towards it, the porpoise went off with incredible swiftness, diving often. and finally escaped from its pursuers. Early on Sunday morning. the Bth inst. the neigh boatload of St. George's.rool was much alarmed by the circumstance of the watchman of that district having shot a man. The requisite inqui►y of the Coroner's J ery hell ascertained, that there had been almost incessant always throughout Saturday night ; and about two o'clock in the morning the watch man was alarmed by the cry of Murder!" and culls for assistance. He ran to the place iron wheure the cries issued. and found several persons engaged in s violent affray, but the nature of which be was ignorant. He demanded that it should cease. wheat he was attacked, knocked down. beaten. cut with a knife, and kicked, and being envied with a pis tol, in consequeuce of the great number of wick ed and desperate _characters in that part of the tows). where so many robberies and other outrages are committed, be was at last obliged to file in his own defence.hy which a man was so desperately wounded. that he died in about twenty minutes. The knife with which the watchman had been cut was found under the body of the man who was shot. On Mooday afternoon the inquest was held, and after hearing evidence confirmatory of the above account, adjourned till Ft itloy, when the Jury raturned a verdict of " Jusiifloble Homicide."

NEW SOUTH WALES. EXTRACT FROM THE RETORT OF THE COMMIS SIONER OF INQUIRY INTO THE STATE OF THE COLONY OF NEW SOUTH WALES. (Continued front our Paper of yesterday.) The suggestion of release, indeed, seemed to ark., not from any consideration of the crimes or punishments of the prisoners, but from the incapa city of the gaol to contain them, together with the many other prisoners then coolined in it. The number then confined in the chain gang did not exceed eleven: of these, several were sentenced to labour for twelve months, of which six, and in some instances more, had expired. They were drawn out for the inspection of the Judge-Advocate, who received information from Mr. Marsden and Mr. Oakes, the chief constable, as he went along, respecting their characters sod crimes. The prisoners themselves, as usual upon such °cop sions, represented to Mr. Judge-Advocate Wylde the state of their puoishairtits ; but I cannot concur in the inference drawn by Mr. Mars den, that the Judge-Advocate appeared to listen with more attention to the representation of the prisoner., than to those which he made. It is moat probable that the representations of both were made with earnestness, as Mr. Marsden, in his account of the proceeding, states, that he represented them to the Judge-Advocate to be most daring felons; and the prisoners, concluding that the Judge-Advocate, in consequence of his inquiry, was invested with some superior authority that might tend to their re lease, would press as earnestly upon him the ap parent hardships of their punishments. I do not Mid, from the testimony of Mr. Oakes, who was present, that Buy observation fell from the Judge-Advocate, on this occasion, that had the ef fect of tbrowing a slight or censure on the autho rity of Mr. Marsden as a Magistrate, in hi. pre *race ; and the part that he took in the release of the prisoners, had reference only to the state of the gaol, and not to the net tire of their sentences. A similar release of prisoners had taken place on several preceding occasions, by the simple authority of the Governor, without reference to the magis trates; and, although the accidental visit of the Judge-Advocate to the gaol, in this instance, might have produced a belief in Mr. Marsden's mind, that his representations to the Goveroor had given rise to the release of the prisoners whom he had sen tenced to be confined, and that the Governor had sanctioned it in consequence of the impressions that he had received, and conveyed to your Lordship, of Mr. Marsden', severity, yet I cannot think that there was sufficient cause for Mr. Marsden to im pute either, to the Judge-Advocate, an intention to insult hint by any thing that he ditl, or any advice that he gave to Governor Macquarrie on this oc casion, or to impute to the Governor an intention of offering indignity to his magisterial character. Mr. lisinsibel M'Arthisr, who had joined with Mr. Marsden in passing the same sentences upon these prisoners, witnessed their release before the expiration of the terms of their puilishmerits, with out reference to himself, and did not conceive that any insult was cast upon him by such an act. That the effect of this act was to lower the esti mation of the authority of the magistrates in the ryes of the prisoners, is certainly true; and it is further to be regretted, that if any of the prisoners were to be released, reference had not been made by Governor Macquarrie to those who had the brat means of knowing their respective demerits, rather than to the Judge-Advocate, who could only derive them from very suspicious sources ; and that the same principle of consideration and forbearance that had preveuted the Governor from interfering with long sentences passed by Mr. Garling, when he acted as Judge-Advocate, had oot influenced him on this occasion. Upon seeing► the Governor's warrant addressed to the chief constable of Pitmans, for the release of the prisoners who had been named by the Judge- Advocate as fit to be discharged, Mr. Marsden forth. with addressed a letter to Governor Macquarrie, dated the 38th March, 1818, in which he stated, " that under the existing circumstances he felt it a duty that he owed to himself to resign the office of civil magistrate," but made no reference to the nature of those circumstances. To this letter Mr. Marsden received no answer, but in a few days afterwards he received a letter from Mr. J. T. Campbell, the Governor's Secretary, en. dosing for his information and guidance en attested copy or a government and general order, in which it was stated, •• that his Excellency the Governor had been pleased to dispense with the services of the Reverend Samuel Almaden, as Justice of the Peace and Magistrate at Paramatia and its adjoining dis (rids." In explanation of his conduct towards Mr. Marsden, in retaining him in the magistracy after he had secured him of the crimes of sedition and mutiny, and in spiterof Mr. Marsden's wi-h to retire from it, as well as for his abruptly declaring. by a public order, that he dispensed with his ser vice, as Magistrate, when Mr. Maredeu had de. dared that lie could no longer act iu that capacity, Governor Macquarrie has stated, that he was fully aware that ?sir. Marsden's re.ignation was tendered with a view of giving him offence, and arose from a desire of annoyance to him end his government, and it was for these reasons that he preferred dispensing with Mr. Marsden's services. The Governor has not alluded to the circum stances trout whence he collected this intention of Mr. Marsden ; therefore I can only presume that he derived it from the circumstance of Mr. Mars den's letter of resignation, having so nearly liillowed the abrupt release of the prisoners from the Paramatta gaol, without reference to himself. Now although this act of the Governor had not made the same impression 'spot, the mind and feel ings of Mr. Hannibal M•Arthur that it had done upon those of Mr. Marsden, that instances of it had occurred before, without offence being intended or taken, and that it was done in the exercise of the authority with which he is invested as Governor, yet it cannot be denied that it was one which was calcu lated to wound the feelings of Mr. Marsden, when viewed by him in its connexion with circumstances that had before t►anspised, respecting lois conduct as a magistrate. The power that Governor Macquarrie exercised of retaining the services of Mr. Marsden, contrary to his expressed wish, affords a strong testimony of their value, althouzb it was testimony extorted from him, and accompanied with ciresimstances of hu. miltation to Mr. Marsden ; but when the pastel ar rived in which this wish of Mr. Marsden w as p.- pealed, and when the Value o hill Services had in. creased rather than diisibithedi it would 'hive been more consistent with the muse that Genitor Mae. quarrie professed to have or that volt*, if be had refrained from the mortifying and humiliating corn. milnication, by which the public were informed that Mr. Marsden's frervites were dispensed with. The uniform tenor of Goveruoi- Macquarrieli corn. munications, on the retirement of the colonial A cers from their public situations, mid the elaboot:e eulogies that have appeared from time In time hi the Sydney Gazettes Upon their persons' sod pub. lic merits, must have impres.srl the colony that tinl witnessed Mr. Marraien'i services, and knew t:;eir value, with a belief that the laconic cummunica tiou of the Gov. root's pleasure in diipensiug with them, was intended to form a mortifying exception to every preceding °cession of retirement, and to give to that which was dispensation only, the ap pearance of • real dismissal, accompanied with disgrace. In endeavouring to trace the motives fur the whole of Governor Macquarrit's conduct to Mr. Mars. den on these occasions, either as they have appeared on inquiry from Governor Macquarrie or .Mr. Mars den, or from other persons in the colony, l have only been able to assign two causes that can account for the peculiar severity of treatment with which Mr. Miracle*, in Isis magisterial capacity, hits beet: vi sited. First. an irreconcilable dillerence of opt. Mon upon the question of raising certain persons who had beets convicts, to places of rank sod coo. fidence in the colony ; anti secondly, a stispic;on that while Mr. Mande,, was receiving huipitality and attention Irons tie Governor, and living upon terms of corollality and friendship with him, he seas secretly, and by indirect means or anonymous let ters, denounciog tile Governor's odiufuisaratiou to , your Loodship. Upon the first point l would ob. serve, that Mr. Marsden's opinions were more di rected against the individuals than against the aye tem, and that although he has felt less disposed than Governor Macquame to indulge sanguine is. pectations of the entire returns of convicts, yet he does nut go so far as to think that those who are reformed should for ever be ex cluded from society. Mr. Marsden, it has heels seen, maiiitained his -own opiniou with his cha racteristic firmness; and Governor Macquarrie, in replying to it with warmth, did not then foresee, and bus never perceived since, the difficulty of en. forcing • vyatem founded upon u principle that is right in the abstract, but which in its application has to conflict with every possible variety of human judgment and feeling. it has been another mis fortune of Governor Micquarrie not to make suffi cient allowance fur these varieties of opinion, and to consider those as opponents of his government who did not at once make a surrender of their judg ment and feeling to his, upon that most delicate question, the estimate of moral character. lit en deavouring to subdue that of Mr. Marsden, or to lead that of the military men, who have lately form ed the garrison of Sydney. be plainly spewed that he had made • had calculation of the obstacles that might impede him. Other magistrates and other officers he has undoubtedly found of more ductile dispositions than Mr. Marsden, who manifested no disinclination and felt no disgrace in a near associa tion with persona who had been convicts, and of whose subsequent conduct and character they had formed a good opinion, or adopted that of Governor Maeqoarrie. 1 certainly cannot adduce any parti cular or positive instance of the undue favour of the Governor bestowed upon those individuals who have met his views upon this subject, or of denial of that favour towards those who did not adopt them. and Mr. Mersdeu had no complsiiit to snake of Governor Macquarrie's want of liberality towards him in dispensing the colonial indulgences. It is, however, the result of my inquiry and observations, that one principal source of the disoniou bower!' Governor Macquarrie and Mr. Marsden has been their difference of opinion upon this topic, aid that it has imperceptibly led the former to indulge that vehemence of expression slid severity of rebuke in private interviews with Mr. Meriden, of which the latter has had so much and such just reason to coins (To k ccsitinted) CORN EXCHANGE, Merrimac* 18.
