The Siniavia had been posed to purchase on speculation. anticApated in this re-discovery by the English sloop the Blossom, which had been sent to meet Captain. Franklin in Behring's Straits : a board which it had left, showed that Captain Beechy, the commander, had taken possession of the islands the preceding year, i n th e name o f his Britannic 'Majesty. in one of these islands, which was otherwise wholly uninhabited, Cap tain Lutke found two Europeans, living in great distress ; a Prussian, Charles Wettrin, of Ko nigsburg ; and John. Peterson, a Norwegian, who had served on board au English ship which was wrecked on this island in 1826, but the crew of which happily got on shore. Another English ship, which , arrived six weeks after wards, took the crew on board ; but left Wettrin and Peterson behind, who ‘rished to save from the wreck as much as possible, but received a promise that they should be taken off by the last ship in its return from the coast of Japan. This promise, however, was not fulfilled ; and Captain Lutke took them with him. " These islands may become very useful and important to Kamtschatka. The climate is ex tremely fine, and the plants and fruits of the tor rid And temperate zone flourish equally well. A few hogs, which had been left by the stranded ship, have increased to the amount of several hundred;. The turtles were so numerous and close together in the bays, that the strand looked as if it were paved with them. There was also an abundance of the finest fish. Fourteen days that we spent here afforded the naturalists an ample harvest. On the 28th of May, the Sini avia arrived again in the harbour of St. Peter and St. Paul, where the trees were still without leaves, and a few spring flowers were hut just beginning to appear. The collection of natural curiosities of e , ery kind is very considerable ; we have speeimens and drawings of 140 new species of fish. The whole excursion was highly for tunate. Not a single individual of the crew was attaeked by sickness during the seven months' voyage. In June the expedition sailed for Beh ring's Straits."—Literary Gazette.

(From the Gazette de France, Jan. 14.) PARIS, JAN. seems now certain that the army of the Morea is to return to Prance. A letter from Modon, of the 22d December, informs us that the Aide-de-Camp of the Minister of War, who em barked at Toulon on board the Venus frigate, arrived at the head-quarters on the lsth, where he made known the order for the recall of the army, of which he was the bearer. The General-in-Chief was re solved that it should be decided by drawing lots which regiments should go home first. In conse quence all the numbers of the regiments were thrown into an urn. General Durrieu presented himself for the brigade of General Schneider, and drew No. 29. The Colonel of the 35th drew the No. of his own Regi ment, and General Sebastiani No. 46. Accordingly the 29th, 35th, and 46th Regiments have received orders to embark on the 24th December. Besides these three Regiments, there will be embarked at the same time all the soldiers who have a right to their discharge, and all the sick who can bear the voyage. fhe Scipio, of the line, is to take 600 men on board; the Galatea frigate, 500 ; and the remainder will come in transports. The other Regiments expect to depart in the beginning of next mowth. The Engineers, the Artillery, and the Staff, will be the last to leave, which it is thought will not be before the end of March or beginning of April. (From the Messager den Chambres of Tuesday.) ISLAND OF ZEA, DEC. 4.—Our political affairs continue to improve. Order and tranquillity con tinue to prevail here, and trade begins to revive. The Greek troops encamped at Megara have taken the field, and have been victorious in several actions which they have had with the Turks in Eastern Greece. We hope that by this time the Greeks are masters of all the coast of the Gulf of Lepanto, including the town of Salona. In Candia affairs continue to be favourable to the Greeks, who oblige the Turks to remain shut up in the fortresses. An expedition of 2,500 or 3,000 men is soon to go to the support of the Greeks in that Island. It will be accompanied by about ten large vessels, besides smaller ones. Tombasis will command this expedition. He is to be . Governor- General of Candia. The Russian fleet intended for the blockade of the Dardanelles passed through these seas a fort night ago.

Captain IttwiN and 60 men of the 6Sd Re giment, with families, go out in the Sulphur. Private settlers arc fitting out ships to follow with all speed. A copy of the regulations for the guidance of the new settlement will be found in another part of our paper. The Allgetneine Zeittuzg of the 9th instant has been received. It contains some news from . Widdin of the 18th December, which partly arrived yesterday through the Trench Papers, the purport of which is, that the Russians are unceasing in their preparations for opening the campaign ; that they have 93,000, including sick, in Little Wallachia, while other accounts make their force only 60,000, one-half of which is under General GEISMAR. Count LANGERON is said.to be indisposed in Bucharest, and con sequently unable to proceed to Jassy to assume the command of all the Russian troops that have returned from the Danube. Much curiosity was excited at Bucharest by the arrival of two Ser vian deputies on a visit to Count LANGERON. It is the opinion of two Austrian physicians at Bucharest, that the contagious disease which has so long afflicted that quarter, is not the Oriental Plague ; but whatever be its name, the disorder carries off hundreds of victims from the people as well as from the army:— CoNSTANTINoPLE, DEC. 19. No recent account* from the Grand Vizier have been prblished, but some reports from FlusNeim Pacha and t:ie Seraskier of Silistria, which relate to the raising of the siege of Silistria, and describe the retreat of the Russians in very strong colours. The preparations for the next campaign go on with great activity, and the arrival of some supplies of pros i • sions has greatly allayed the fears that were enter tained of the immediate consequences of the blockade. The Nuremburg Correspondent of the inst. contains an article respecting the trial and partial acquittal of the Polish Conspirators, with an order from his Imperial Majesty to annul tha proceedings and to try the prisoners de novo, (.11 the ostensible ground that the Tiibunal had no right to award any punishment except in the case of high treason. No change appears to have taken place in the troops in Poland and Lithuania, but several Russian Regiments are marching from the Baltic provinces towards the South, some of which have already arrived in the Government of Wilna : CRACOW, DEC. 28. We have before stated that the sentence passed by the Supreme Tribunal of the kingdom in the affair of the Polish conspiracy, which entirely ac quitted several of the accused, and sentenced others only to some years' imprisonment, was annulled by his . Majesty, and the Tiibunal directed to begin the cause anew. This proceeding is entirely conform able to the system of the Polish Tribunal, by which the Tribunal in nuestion is not authorised to award any punishment, except in the actual existence of the crime of high treason. Now, as it appears from the investigation that this clime was not committed, the Tribunal should have declared itself incompetent, and 7efer the matter to the ordinary courts of the kingdom. This declaration is expected to be shortly made, as the King's Attorney-General is said to have called for it. The worst is, that by this error the imprisonment of the accused is protracted. No doubt is, however, entertained that as soon as sentence has been passed in the regular manner his Majesty's clemency, will alleviate this severity. The Hamburg!: Reporter and other Papers to the 11th inst. have been received this morn ing, as well as St. Petersburgh Journals to the 30th December, and Berlin State Gazettes to the 9th inst., - extracts from which will be found in another column. If we may credit a Paragraph from Switzer land a Swiss corps will be raised for the service of Greece, probably to replace the French army until the Greek army -is sufficiently orga nised. 'We fear the Swiss will fare no better than the French in a country where so much national jealousy prevails. However the expert• ment is worth trying. According to the Borsen-halle Report the price of corn was not sustained in Hamburgh, nor can the holders in our own market to-day obtain former prices. The news from Odessa is more favourable to the Russians than what appears in the Gelman Papers. The accounts are to the 25th De cember, stating that, on the 23d, several trans ports had arrived from Varna in two or three days. The snow in the vicinity of Varna had wholly disappeared, and the weather, which had become very fine, facilitated the commu nication between the Russian army and Varna. This is the same army which the German Journals had made HUSSEIN PACITA, with his 10,000 cavalry, to drive across the Danube some sixteen or twenty days before ! The accounts from St. Petersburgh state that preparations for re-commencing the war are prosecuted on an immense scale. The ENI.• PEROR, who neglects nothing, intends to have 400,000 men in the field by the beginning of Spring. Aceounts from Constantinople of the 11th ult., say that the SULTAN has ordered a public notice to be read in all the Mosques, calling on all the males from the age of 11 to 60 to take up arms. The French Papers announce that it is now determined on by the Government to withdraw the army from the Morea by degrees, so that the final embarkation shall take place about the end of March or April. Meantime the affairs of the Greeks begin to assume a more satisfactory aspect it all, but the uncertainty of the limits to which t►►eir territorial independence may extend. " M. EYNARD has addressed a letter to the Philhellenists, giving a summary of the latest information respecting the present state and future prospects of Greece, contained in the vari ous despatches which he has received from Count CAPo DISTRIA, Colonel HEIDECK, and vari ous other officers now residing in that country. Colonel HEIDECK informs him, he says, that the Gulf of Prevesa has been taken by the brother of G ntvAs, with 43 Turkish vessels ; that Ge neral DENZEL occupies Loutracki, a position between the Gulfand Lake Ambraciotis; that Gen. CHURCH hag taken an important position ; that the capture of the fort of Lepanto by the French is a great advantage to the Morea ; that the opening of the rich Gulf of Lepanto will enable the Greeks to realize a considerable revenue, a great commerce in oil, in wines, and in Corinthian raisins, passing along that track ; that General YPSILANTI is marching towards Mount Par nassus and the defiles of Bceotia ; and that in Candia the Turks occupy the fortresses only."

Benjamin Barrup, aged 26, wus indicted for maliciously shooting at Mary Mortlock, with a pistol, loaded with powder and ball, v.'ith intent to murder her. He was further charged on the Core ner's Inquest, witk the wilful murder of the said Mary Mortlock. The prisoner is a very respectable-looking young man, and was drecsed in a new suit of black clothrs. On being placed at the bar and arraigned, he pleaded in a firm voice, not guilty. Mr. CaESWELL, after a few preliminary remarks begging the Jury to dismiss from their minds any thing they might have heard likely to prejudice the prisoner, and decide only on the evidence that would he laid before them, stated the facts of the case as afterwards detailed in the following evidence : The witnesses were here at the request of Mr. Clarkson, the prisoner's counsel, ordered to leave the court. Thomas Willett examined—l am a watchman of the parish of Narylehone, I was on duty on the night of the I ith December last, about a guar ' ter past 11 at night. I observed two persons toge gether on the opposite side of the street, they were walking down Crawford -street, they shortly made a stop, and I immediatly heard the report of a pistol; on making up to the spot I heard the man talking very loud, as if in a great rage, but could not un derstand what he said ; I took the man by the col lar, when the woman turned round, gave a laud scream, and ran across the road, into a baker's shop; the man then said to me, " I am your pri soner, it is me that has done it, take me to the watch-house; there is the pistol, pick it up ;" the pistol at that time was lying on the Hag-stones, near where the prisoner stood. I then called for the assistance of another watchman and took the prisoner to the watch-house, where he was searched by the night constable. Nothiag was found but a pocket book and knife. There were no other tire-arms, but he said that be had three or four more pistols at home. He appeared as if he had been drinking, but not to that degree as not to know what he was doing. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—He certainly was not staggering drunk. They were talking very laud before the pistol was fired. William Knight, another watchman, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Win. Croft stated that he was at the beginning of Crawford-street on the 19th, and heard the re port of a pistol. Went up and saw the first witness have a man in custody. The latter pointed out a pistol which lay on the ground, and said " lam the man ; I am the man that did the deed." He seemed to be a little in liquor. Richard Burt,a watchman, was on duty in Baker street en the above night. When witness and the others were going to search him in Baker-street, he said he had no more arms about him; that he hoped he had done the deed effectually, and that if he had another (meaning a pistol) he would have served himself the same. He seemed in a passion. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON— Willa had hold of the prisoner when he said he hoped lie had done the deed effectually. He spoke loud, and Wil let must have heard it as well as him. Andrew Hutchinson was in his father's (the baker's) shop, on the above night ; heard the re port, went to the door and saw sparks of lire from the wadding ; saw a woman who afterwards came into the shop ; her face was black, and one side of it bloody. She said he was going to shoot her again, and that he had got another pistol in his pocket. She was taken from the shop to the workhouse. Thomas Harris, night constable, stated that the prisoner was brought there at about a quarter past eleven. He was charged with shooting a woman. Asked him what he had to say for himself, and he said that that was best known to himself. He said he wished to know how his Mary was; he had done the deed, but she bad been his ruin. He was not sober. By Mr. CLARKSON.--Could not say he was drunk, but he looked very wild ; he laughed very heartily, and asked witness anti the watch-house-keeper to laugh with him. He looked wild when he first came. When he asked about_ his Mary, was upon the witness's going to take away his garters and braces. Did not recollect that he said he meant to destroy himself. Mr. F. Goodyer, surgeon, was called to prove the death of the woman. Was present when her depo sition was taken, and saw the prisoner there; be ap peared to be attending slightly to what she was say ing, but looked wildly about. (The deposition of Mary Mortlock, which has already been published, was then read.) Examination continued—Received the deceased in the Infirmary; her clothes were wet, and she seemed at the time of her arrival greatly agitated. The left side of her face was blackened by the gus-pow der. The powder had penetrated the skin ' • under the left side of the nose there was a wound which might have been covered by the point of a finger.— Introduced a probe which extended across to the right cheek, where he found a bullet. It was just below the edge of the cheek bone. The next morn ing Mr. C. Phillips, the Surgeon of the Institution, cut down to the ball and extracted a piece of lead ir regularly shaped. Believed the lead to have been altered from its original figure by its strikiug against the cheek bone, which was broken in two places.— Applied every remedy that was proper. Had at that time no apprehension of danger, but every thing seemed to be going on well, no nerve appeared to be affected. On the second day she had a good deal of fever. On the fourth day she became seriously ill, and was affected with spasmodic retchings with very great fever, which lasted till the morning of the 28th, when she died at about three o'clock. Indirectly the gun-shot wound was the cause of her death, which witness explained thus—that she was excessively frightened by being shot, which predisposed her to be acted upon by cold, more than she otherwise would have done. Cold caused inflammation of the chest, and accom panied by infl:i'amatory fever produced death. The grin-shot wound was only indirectly the cause of death, through the medium of the fright and cold. By Mr. CLARKSON--The wound would have done well had she not have caught cold ; could not say whether she had taken cold before this violence had been offered her. When she was brought into the infirmary she was greatly frightened, and her clothes were wet ; fright disposed her to be more affected than she would have been, and witness believes she took cold by the wetness of her clothes. If she had not taken cold, witness does not believe the gun-shot would have produced death. Any fright that could have been caused by the wound would not have produced death without the cold. There was nothing in the nature of the gun-shot wound which would have produced inflammation of the chest, which was the proximate cause of death. This prosecution is instituted by the parish. Had attended deceased before this affair: she was aged about 18, of mild mariners and delicate constitution. Foreman of the Jury—l understand you to say that her death was caused by inflammation, not hav ing any connexion with the, gun-shot wound. Do you think that she would have died from the inflam mation if she had not been shot -? Witness, yes. Had I not seen her face when I opened her body, I should have said that she died of inflammation of the chest. I should not have looked for other causes, as I have opened probably lOU bodies which presented the same appearance, and whose deaths were produced from the same otuse. Mr. Justice PARK--That is, she might have taken cold by walking with this man in the night. Wit nes—Certaittly. COURT —But did you see any symptoms which you supposed would have produced death totally in dependent of the wound ? Witness—l think it was produced by her state of mind, and that,state of mind wasTroduced by the gun-shot wound. Mr. Justice PARK-.-DO you think yo u can sa y i 1$ it ji reasons . * certainty, as a man of science, that • she would have died of cold ? Witness--I think I may say, taking all the circumstances into considera tion, that she would have died of the cold. This witness afterwards stated that his opinion, that the gun-shot wound was the remote cause of her death, by having caused a disposition to take cold, was founded on conjecture. The prisoner then put in a written defence, which appeared a very copious one. • Mr. Justice . P.sailt then, after a long consultation with his Learned Brothers, informed the Jury, that it was the opinion of the Court, that there being very considerable doubt as to the re,ult of the Learned Gentleman's evidence who had just been examined, it would be im proper to allow the prisoner to put in his defence, as it might prejudice him on a future occasion. As it could not be said that death ryas caused by cold alone, so it would be too dangerous to say that it was caused as laid in the indictment. The indict ment says, that of the very wound she then and there died. Now,, it would not be proper on the evidence they had heard to send this man to his account on Monday next. The Coart had the power, by a late Act of Parliament, of ordering him to be detained, and to order another indictment to he preferred against him for maliciously 'boat ing with intent to murder. The Court therefore thought that it would be safer on the whole to have him acquitted on this. The Learned Judge added, that if be had been convicted, although he must hare been ordered for execution on Monday next, yet he (Mr. Justice Park) would have felt it his duty to hare obtained a respite in order to talcs the opinion of his Learned Brothers on the point. The prisoner was then ordered to be detained, and was taken from the bar. SHIPPING INTIELIGENCE-(T S DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

CITY MARKETS.-TWO O'CLOCK. PLANTATION Sucaus.—There has been a good deal of business done this week, particularly in the Grocery de scriptions, and very full prices have generally been ob tained, especially for the better sorts; of the qualities tit for the Pans, also sales have been made at very firm prices, but the Refiners, in the present state of their own market, still refrain from purchasing to any extent. A public sale of 150 hhds. Barbadoes on Tuesday went off briskly at a small advance. Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 2,623 bhds., and 139 trs. Stock ou hand in the West India Docks (on 12th inst.) 33,320 Wads., and 2,062 trs. Stock , on hand in the West India Docks (on Jan. 14 1828), 30,210 hbds., and 2,177 trs. FoREIGN SUGARS.—Nothing of consequence has taken place in this market ; the quotations still remain nominal : there is an arrival of Havannah Sugar. REFINZD SUGARS.--There is still a great deal of busi ness doing in this market, and prices upon the whole are firmer; of Crashed, although the sales this week have not bet", so extensive as last, some parcels have been sold, and although no alteration in the quotations can be made, a shade better prices have been obtained : in the Grocery sorts there is rather more doing, and the quantity on hand has become much smaller. CoFear.—Two or three small parcels of the qualities suitable for the home trade have been brought forward by public sale this week, and sold briskly at rather an advance upon the previous prices; 1610 bags Brazil were brought forward yesterday, and sold for 345. 6d. for ordinary to 371. 6d. for good ordinary coloury, being rather under the late quotations. Delivered last week from the Weet India Docks, 289 casks ; and 1266 bags, &c. Stock on hand in the West India Docks (on 12th inst.) 10,949 casks ; and 73,776 . hags, &c.

The market is firm at 255. per cwt. On Tuesday last at a Vestry meeting in a parish not very distant from the metropolis, a gentleman, on being addressed with some warmth by another, chal lenged him openly, publicly, and in the hearing of all present, to fight a duel with him the same evening ! The challenger thus lost all rempect fr.r the Vicar in the Chair, and the sacred spot iu which they were assembled, viz. the Chan eel of the Church, the Vestry-rount not being large enough for the purpose. But in a large populous parish is it not a profonatio)! to allow these tumultuous meetings to be bold in a Church 7 N.B. The challenger is an M.P.—a legiplatOr, who insulted the feelings of all present by se flagrant a breach of the law, and in such a pins NEW COURT. James Hall pleaded guilty to an indictment chsrg. ing him with robbing his employers, Messrs. Riley and Co., of several carpets and hearth-rugs; and Daniel Evans, charged with receiving the same, well knowing them to be stolen, likewise pleaded guilty ; but after a caution from Mr. Sergeant ARA-. tusi that his plea would not operate in mitigation of punishment, the prisoner retracted his plea of guilty, and pleaded not guilty. The prosecutor stated that they had been subject for a length of time to a regular system of plunder by their servants ; he then deposed to facts con nected with the case that left no doubt of the pri soner's guilty knowledge, aad the Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Serg. ARABIN immediately ordered both pri soners to be brought up for judgment, and sentenced them to be transported for fourteen years. Mr. C. PHILLIPS, who conducted the prosecution, said the conduct of the prisoners was of that pro fligate nature, that Messrs. Rileys found it impos sible to recommend them to mercy. Thomas Woods was indicted for embezzling the sum of 3s. Gd., the monies of his employer, a Mr. Palliser, a whip-manufacturer. Mr. Palliser said the prisoner had, for a length of time, filled n confidential situation in his employ, but of late his co►;duct became rather suspicious; he (Mr. Palliser) therefore got a friend to purchase two whips, for which he paid 1/. 45., but the pti soner only accounted for 1/. Os. 6d. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. He was again put to the bar, and. convicted on another indictment, charging him with embezzling the sum of 14s. under similar circumstances. Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the prisoner, asked if one pound and sixpence was not a fair price for the whips. Pray, said Mr. Phillips, what might they coat. Mr. Palliser—Why really-, whips bear so good a profit that I do not wish it to gain publicity. (Laughter.) Ml 7. PHILLIP.---Should you at the sump the pri soner accounted for have got 50 per cent.

It is called in the bills an opera; but it has few pretensions to this distinction, as the majority of the principal charac. tars cannot, and du not pretend to sing. The prineipa/, and indeed only, incident of this drama turns upon Amadis (Miss Janiusx), the supposed ion of Baron de Orguil, finally proving his daughter, a circumstance which, strange as it may appear, occurred but a day or two since in real life, and is mentioned in our Paper of yesterday, in the Report of a Coroner's Inquest upon a married man, who proved to be a woman. But to mama —it appears that by the Baron's failing in heirs mile, the family estates revert to the Crown, and the Baroness, to prevent this, makes her daughter vow ever to conceal her sex, which she does, even at the risk of losing her lever, Hypolite. However, the Queen's commands, in the last scene of the play, bring forth , the truth, and this young lady is rewarded with the man of her bort. This may fairly be said to be the sum total of the plot,-mixed up with half a dozen songs, and three duets, &e, &c. We should have thought that the advitnce of music as an an, and the legitimate operas produced at the English Opera House, would have prevented this piece from being pre sented to us as an OfILRA in a National Theatre, and the reception of the songs, &c. last night, we should imagine, must convince the management most powerfully of the, ad vance of music in this country ; fur, with the exception of two songs (of Mr. LIVZILATI'S we should say), sang by Mr. WOOD, which were really well written and well exe cuted, nothing could be worse than the remainder of the music--trumpet, bugle, drum, and fife, from thebeginning to the end of the chapter. A Mr. G. STA/MIMI" made his first appearance as a second singer : he may be useful. The play, we hear, is the production of Mr. Dm oND . As the dialogue is not sacrificed at all to musical illustra tion, which is generally the ease in opera, it might have been much better. However, the abilities of the per formers brought it through, and it was loudly applauded and announced for repetition, without one dissentient voice.

The principal singers were Miss Grant and Miss Bellchambers, and Messrs. Phillips and Begrer. Mr. Mori led the Band, and Mr. Forbes wa s the Conductor. The Concert was. opened with Cheru bini's Overture to " Anacreon," which was executed in reost excellent style, and was warmly applauded. The Quartett, " Ciel it tnio labbra," by Miss Bellchambers, Miss Grant, Mr. Begrez, and Mr. Phillips ; and the Ter tett, " Tremate Ernpi tremate," by the three lat;t of these performers, were given with excellent taste and judgment, and were most ably supported by the leading instrumental performers. Mr. Phillips then sung the Ballad of " The Maid of Llangollen," with the neatness and beauty of exe cution which are almost peculiar to him. He was loudly encored, and repeated the air with, if possible, greater effect than Wore. He afterwards gave the re.citr.tive and air, " Angel of Life," in his best style, and displayed to great advantage the excellence of his fine baritone voice, sustaining himself with astonishing power on the last notes of the air. Among tke instrumental performances of the evening, a Duet on the Harp and Flute by Mr. Chatter ton, and Mr. Card, a Fantasia on the Violin by Mr.. Mori, and another on the Piano by Mr. Forbes, deierved and received tl.e warmest plaudits. The company assembled was numerous. though probably net so 'nu merous as the members of the Institution desired, when they proposed by this means to give their assistance in the furtherance of a most charitable object.
