DESTRUCIION OF MR. GREEN'S BAL.- LOON. We stated in our last paper, upon the autho rity of Mr. Green himself, that his balloon was thoroughly repaired, and that, from the arrange ments he had made at the Gas-works, he would be enabled to ascend within a few minutes of the appointed time. The crowd was, in consequence, so great by about three o'clock, that it was with difficulty admission could be gained to the gas yard. About five o'clock the car was attached to the balloon, the fastenings were loosened, and every one was in momentary expectation of be holding the promised ascent. It was soon ascertained, however, that the balloon did not contain a sufficient quantity of gas to sustain the car, to say nothing of " the celebrated eronaut!" In answer to a question from a gentleman pre sent, Mr. Green said he thought he should be enabled to procure enough gas within three hours, and that he would then ascend. This was announced to the company, who, notwithstand ing they had already been kept two hours beyond the appointed time, appeared willing to grant every indulgence to the xronaut. The greater portion immediately left the yard, but by seven o'clock it was again filled. The balloon in appearance was now less inflated than it was two hours previously ; there is no doubt but that there had been a great escape of gas ; and it was evident there would be no ascent. Murmurs of discontent became general, and threats of " duck ing" Green were publicly made. Mr. Picker ing (Green's partner) becoming alarmed for the fate of the balloon, was about, we have been in formed, to free it, and allow it to ascend alone, risking the chance of afterwards recovering it. A stone, or a piece of coke, was at this moment thrown against it, making a large hole. This was the signal for fifty more being thrown, and the balloon was in an instant on the ground. The scene which followed is beyond description. A general rush was made—hundreds of knives were at work, and in a minute or two the im mense machine, containing, we understand, 1,500 yards of silk, was cut to pieces ; after which the populace tore the pieces from each other, and by eight o'clock scarcely a shred or a particle was left in the yard. Immense cheers, which might be heard at a considerable dis ance, succeeded this scene of demolition. Now for Green ! now for Green !" re sounded from one end of the yard to the other. A simultaneous rush was made to wards the house of Mr. Goldney, the superin tendant of the gas works, where it was thought Green was secreted. With a promptitude which reflects on him infinite credit, Mr. Thomas Est court, one of the county Magistrates, fixed him self at the door of the house, and was soon surrounded by a number of respectable gentle men, to whose united activity the preservation of the house and works may be attributed. Had Green been discovered, in all probability mur der would have been the result. It will be a Jong time indeed before it will be safe for him to exhibit himself in any part of Wilts. Pairing the scene we hare above alluded to, M r . Green, with his wife and Mr. Pickering, were secreted in a dark hole under the condenser. They made their escape about eleven o'clock in the night.—Devizes Gazette. SUMMARY PUNISHMENT. A young lad, the son of a toll-keeper near Lang port, being occasionally employed, in the absence of his father, to receive the tolls, contrived last week to get at the money-box, from which he helped him self very abundantly for the purpose of gambling at " pitch and toss" for half-crown, with two farmer's boys in the neighbourhood. The father at length detected the depredator, and made the farmer ac quainted with the conduct of the two boys who en couraged him in the robbery. The farmer conceiv ing that the imprisoning two young offenders among practised and hardened old ones, would only plant corruption more deeply in their minds, contented himself with threatening to send them instantly to gaol, unless they would agree to obey his orders. These were that they should tie each other up by turns to the turnpike gate and flog each other soundly with a good ground ash stick. The lads preferred this alternative to confinement in a gaol, and belaboured each other in right earnest, until the farmer was satisfied. It was now the toll-keeper's turn, who tying up his son in the same manner, flogged him with such severity that the farmer thought proper to interfere on his behalf with his exasperated father. All the inhabitants of the neighbouring village, and several gentlemen travelling on the road, witnessed the administering of this wholesome discipline. There are thousands of instances like the above in which the infliction of sound corporal punishment would be far preferable to imprisonment, and deter youth from prosecuting a career which is sure to lead to an ignominious end.—Bath Herald.

" CONTINUATION OF THE LETTERS FROM CONSTAN- TINOPLE OF THE 25TH OF JUNE. " On the 23d, the English and French Ambas sadors, who had been received with the greatest dis tinction by the Government, and with real enthu siasm by the people, received the usual presents from the Ottoman Porte. Magnificent cachemere shawls were presented to Count Guilleminor. Mr. Robert Gordon has accepted some Arabian horses richly caparisoned. Their formal presentation will very shortly take place under tents at Tcrapia. Their Excellencies have already had two audiences with the Reis Effendi. It seems that the mutual explana tions were extremely friendly, and all the relations of amity and good understanding with the Courts of France and England appear to be restored. " Silence is — still observed respecting the late events before Shumla. The authorities watch with the greatest rigour over all expressions of political opinions. Some persons who had been so impru dent as to converse aloud in a tavern at Pera, of the defeat of the Grand Vizier, have been arrested and thrown into prison. The tavern-keeper has lost his head for having endeavoured to defend his guests. The Government does not publish any official bulletins, but it causes news to be circulated by its agents, and wo to those who shall take it into their heads not only to contradict, but even to dis believe them. Thus it is that it is attempted to mislead the public respecting the result of the battle of the 11th June; but fugitives from Shumla, who have arrived at Adrianople, have spread alarm every where by saying that the army was completely de feated, and that in the camp at Shumla 40 men die daily of the dysentery. It is added that the Russians are making very great preparations to pass Mount Balkan, and attack Bourgas. " All this is circulated in whispers. Meantime the people are perfectly calm ; they trust in the Prophet, and in the fortune of the Sultan. " The Capitan Paella, in his late excursion, con stantly sailed along the coast, avoiding to meet with the enemy. He returned to the Bosphorus as soon as he perceived that Admiral Greigh was endeavour ing to draw him into the open sea ; but the presence of the fleet protects the arrival of supplies of provi sions from the neighbouring ports, and its cruise along the coast has doubtless been undertaken for that purpose. "Meantime the blockade of the Dardanelles is 01- forced with the, same rigour by the Russian aqua. PRICES OF IRISH STOCKS, DUBLIN, JULY 22. Bank Stock Consols, 3 per cent. Gov.

The French Jouriials are for the most part filled with observations, in which nothing definite is mentioned, respecting the conduct of the Ot toman Porte, its politic silence, and its reception of the French and English Ambassadors. The Turks at Constantinople, says the Messager des Chanzbres, are perfectly calm—they trust in the Prophet and in the fortune of the Sultan. German Papers have been received. They state that the news of the fall of Silistria, arrived at Vienna on the 11th. The funds rose at first, but afterwards declined, when it transpired that M. FoNToN had returned without success, from Shumla, to the Russian head -quarters, and that consequently there was no immediate hope of peace. The Abram Gazette of July 4, observes that " ALI NAMIK PACHA, Governor of Bosnia, has issued orders to the four provinces of Zwor nich, Saracoo, Klisza, and Herzegowina, to as semble 5,000 men, partly infantry, partly ca valry, at Novi Bazar, the frontier town of Bosnia, between Servia and Albania, whither public orders will be given to proceed to Shumla or Widdin, Or to join the PACHA Of SCUTARI, who is to assemble 60,000 Albanians under his command. A chief, with the rank of Sandjak Beg, (or Brigadier General) is placed over each province. They have been allowed to pay their respects to the VIZIER at Travnick, where they were provided with pelisses sent from Constan tinople. There has lately been a frequent ex change of couriers between the authorities at Sarawo." The late success of the Russians will work extraordinary wonders among the de pendent Provinces of the Porte. AGRAM, JULY 4.—Ali Namik Paella, Governor of Bosnia, has issued orders to the four provinces of Zwor nich, Saracoo, Klima, and Herzegowina, to assemble 5,000 men, partly infantry, partly cavalry, at Novi Bazar, the frontier town of Bosnia, between Servia and Alba nia, whither public orders will be given to proceed to Shumla or Widdin, or to join the Pacha of Scutari, who is to assemble 60,000 Albanians under his command. A chief with the rank of SandjAk Beg, (or Brigadier- General) is placed over each province. They have been allowed to pay their respects to the Vizier at Travnick, where they were provided with pelisses sent from Con ctantinople. There has lately been a frequent exchange of couriers between the authorities at Sarawo, the Pacha of Scutari, the Metropolitan of Montenegro, and Prince Milosh, the Servian chief. The object of this correspondence is not known. NUREIIIII.IItG, Jcl.r 17.—Several of our Journals, and now also the political Journal of Munich, contain the fol- lowing article:-- 4 ' It has been stated in some Papers that the negocia dons at Berlin, for the conclusion of a commercial treaty be tween the kingdoms of Bavaria and Wurtemburg on the one part, and the kingdom of Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Hesse ott the other, have not been successful, and the rati fications have met with diffieultiea. We are Informed, upon good authority, that this report is wholly unfounded, that the treaty is, in fact, concluded, and that the ex change of the ratifications may be expected to take place very shortly. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 25.—The day of the arrival of the French and English Ambassadors was a festival for the inhabitants of Constantinople, of all nations, religions, and languages, without distinction, who crowded to meet them, and expressed their joy in all possible ways. For these last ten days no firmans have been granted to Austrian ships to go to the Black Sea, because several Austrian vessels are said to have carried supplies to the Russians. The Reis Effendi is said to have complained to the Internuncio, and assigned this as a cause of the re fusal. The English and French fleets have taken their station near Tenedos, and it seems they will await the re sult of the negotiations respecting Greece. Provisions are still dear, but there is no actual scarcity. VIENNA, JULY 13.—The news of the fall of Silistria arrived here on the 11 th. The funds rose at first, but afterwards declined, when it transpired that M. Fonton had returned without success from Shumla, to the Russian head-quarters, and that consequently there was no imme diate hope of peace.

ROME, JULY 9.—On the sth of this month Cardinal Bernetti left Rome for his legation, Bologna, and a Special Commissioner repaired to Imola, to inquire into the tumult that has taken place there. It is confirmed that only the lowest of the populace took part in it. While German and French Journals repeatedly speak of a mission of M. Peter Von Fonton, Russian Councillor of State, to the Turkish head-quarters, we can positively affirm that lie is at present at Naples. The rumour gains ground that the projected alterations in the Inner Temple are to be acted on without further delay. The ostensible object of these alterations is to keep out all ignorant pretenders ; the real one, to enforce more strictly the present monopoly possessed by the Benchers, and to exclude from the profession of a Bar rister all persons below a certain recognised aristocratic rank. To this end, those who de sire henceforth to be called to the Bar, as well as those who are already preparing for it, anti whose proper season has almost arrived, are to be subjected, according to the caprice of the Benchers, to a severe or lenient examination in Greek and Latin Classics as well as in general Literature. We can conceive nothing more insidi ous and exclusive than the object of this examina tion. Under the pretence ofguarding the dignity of the profession, it has the effect of throwing up a wall of circumvallation around it, which none but the privileged few can pass. The best part of a man's life must henceforth be con sumed in irrelevant pursuits, ere he can hope even to set out on his career as a bar rister. He must previously be well-versed in the classics of Greece and Rome ; be at home on subjects of general information (the Hindostanee, Sanscrit, and Coptic dialects are, we presume, in cluded) ; and be master of all those flashy theo retic acquirements which are precisely those least qualified to make a lawyer. What, pray, have the writers of Greece and Rome to do with the pleading of a dry practical case in the King's Bench ? What Sallustian or Ciceronian logic or eloquence is visible in the speeches of Sir J. SCARLETT ? On what great orator or lawyer of Greece, on what LYSIAS or YEscur- NES, has he formed his style ? 'We suspect his Majesty's Attorney-General owes far more to the business-like, matter-of-fact turn of his mind, than to any very superior classical acquirements he possesses. His speeches are replete with the one, they are seldom encumbered with the other. Indeed, so far as the every-day practice of the law goes, an acquaintance with general litera ture is, beyond all other, the knowledge most likely to injure it. The intellect of a lawyer-- and a mere lawyer, even in the highest rank, we conceive to be a very unintellectual sort of personage—is particularly methodical, pre cise, and exclusive. It deals with the petti- nesses—the small points—the quibbles and the quirks of human character. It has nothing to do with the loftier feelings of the mind ; it has no sympathy with greatness, its business is essen tially with littleness. Its triumphs are the tri umphs of greater over lesser cunning ; not those of intellect over ignorance. But the success ful study of letters leads to far different results. It perfects the statesman—the philosopher—the orator—the poet ; but it damns the lawyer, and throws a stumbling-block in the way of the At torney-Generalship. Away then with this wretched f►rce of a classical examination by some half dozen self.sufficient, superannuated Benchers. It can deceive none but the prejudiced, the igno rant, or the interested. Throw open the portals of the Bar—throw them wide to the world, and let those enter who can bring the requisite com mon-sense, conduct, and energy to their task ; not those who can merely quote a glib phrase from CICERO, or an easy passage from DE-. MOSTIIENES. With regard to the dignity of the Bar—what claims, pray, should it possess over other professions ? What is there in the name of the lawyer, that should give him the precedence over the divine or the physician ? It is the individual that should dignify the pro fession, not the profession the individual ; and there should be no more difficulty in being called to the Bar, than in entering the church, or prac tising as a physician. Letters from Rio Janeiro have this morning been received to the 13th May ; th e exchange on the 12th w as at 26-i.

Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off at yesterday, 89k, both for money and for the 27th August, and at present no speculations are going forward. The following is from St. Petersburgh : The Council for the Establishment of Credit as sembled on the 29th June for the revision of the expences of the said Establishment, when the Minister of Finance opened the Sessions thus :—" You are acquainted, Gentlemen, with the advantageous conditions of the Loan contracted for in Holland, of 8 millions of Florins, and a sum so moderate cannot be considered a burden to the State. All the ex pences for the war of the year 1828 and 1829 are provided for, and it will leave a considerable over plus. The Minister of Finance has every prospect of being able to furnish future resources should necessity require it, as regards our credit both at home and abroad. It is known that our public funds have not been depreciated by the events of the year 1828 ; and our Course of Exchange has maintained an advantageous rate." It appears by accounts from Brandenbourg that the mission of Baron Muffling, on the part of the King of Prussia to Constantinople, is to make imposing remonstrances, as a mediation in settling the affairs between Russia and Turkey.

It appears from a circular which has been re cently published at Marseilles, that the Chamber of Com merce of that place are invested with the privilege of caus ing an extra duty of two per cent. to be levied on goods imported there on foreign bottoms, though shipped by French merchants and on French account, when the goods are the produce of a state which does not entertain diplo matic relations with France. After the departure of the French Ambassador from Constantinople, in consequence of the events which followed the battle of Navarin, French trading vessels ceased to visit the ports of the Levant, and the consequence was that the merchants who had not found it necessary to remove from the country, continued their trade with Marseilles through the medium of neutral vessels. The Chamber of Commerce thought that the case called for the application of their privilege, and the duty was accordingly levied without meeting with any opposi tion on the part of those most affected by it. From the announcement contained in the Chamber's circular, it now appears that the duty is to be discontinued two months after the arrival of the French Ambassador at Constanti nople,—a space of time deemed sufficient to enable the French merchants concerned in the Levant trade to resume their operations under the auspices of the national flag.-- The French Tariff of the Customs makes no mention of any power possessed by Chambers of Commerce of levying extra duties ; nor does there appear to exist any legislative enactment a uthorising its application. Its legality might, therefore, have been called in question ; but no case having occurred of sufficient importance to suggest resistance, the privilege has lain dormant, and might have remained so, had not the circular of the Marseilles Chamber, given by all the papers of that city, and copied into those of Paris, awakened attention, and induced an inquiry into the pro priety of suffering a privilege so detrimental to the general interests of French commerce to be wielded at the discre tion of any branch soever of the Executive. The matter will probably undergo discussion in the Legislative Cham bere next Seeaion, TITE-PARKETS.-(THIS DAY). COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.

COURT OF CHANCERY. POINT OF PRACTICE.—FRY V. WATSON. t , Mr. TEMPLE applied to set aside an order, E r r°, e , ing an injunction made by hi s H ono ur the v,g. n , Chancellor upon an interpleading bill. The Po o tiffs, the solvent partners of Fry and Coo lip bankers, had admitted by their bill th a t they 'lt o . their hands 8714 belonging to the defendant Mad Watson. The executors of her husband likewise claimed the amount, and brought A B , action to recover it, triable at the present 4 sizes in Shropshire. A s u it i n thi s Court _ ll° also been instituted by M rs . W a t son in renri, of it. No affidavit had b ee n m a d e that a couott"°f, claim had been set up for the money b e ` r , the filing of the bill, and yet, mere ly on the n gse d tion of the party, the Vice-Ch ance ll o r had iss li o the injunction to restrain the t r ial. In Lan ton v. Boylstone, in 2d V ese y, i t was d ec ided thatl o practice of the Court requ i re d an a ffid av it, an r, t l none had been filed, the L earne d C ounse l subou t * the injunction ought to be dissolved. on Mr. LOVAT and another gentleman appeare d the other side. They d en i e d th e necessity, actor j ; s . ing to the practice of th e C our t, o f h av i n g an nu' j vit. The decision in Walbank v. Sparkes suppo rte an the practice that had now b een a d o pted. 11r " e affidavit had been deem e d n ecessar y, one would ige l been instantly filed. q to The LORD CHANCELLOR put se vera l questio.. n - , those around him, for the p ur po se o f as certain * , the general impression of what the practice 08 , 5 i; and in the result said, " I find that upon this, Anthony Hart, wh en Vi ce -Ch ance ll or , was ' l '; tinctly deceived upon the practice being one vi; and the present Vi ce -Ch ance ll or i s o f opinion tP:, the other way. The experience of the Regi,l trar is, that it is not n e c essar y to h ave an niii% in order to entitle the party to an injunction. 0 prevailing opinion at the bar is, that it has b e .:, usual to file an affidavit before applying for the e l to junction. These contendi ng v i ews w ill cause 010 adopt the usual course of ascer t a i n i n g with bt more precision what the practice really is or ong o , to be, and then to settle it. I s h a ll s tate on M ° day what the rule is." VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. HANSOM V. EADY. Mr. IfortNE said he had to move to dissolve. , e , injunction which had been granted a few days 51/1 6 :d, to restrain the defendant from taking any pro ce~~ ings at law, or negociating three bills of exchauge'., Mr. BAGSIIAW-I appear to oppose the motioliii; but only just having received my brief, I hope t other side will allow it to stand over for a short drub, Mr. HortNE—Not a single moment. You and tamed the injunction on a false statement, an u o venture to say such a one never was before grautej by this Court. The Learned Counsel then st r a t i e , the facts of the case, from which it appeared in ° II ', 1828, a person of the name of Foster, at that ti m e carrying on business near Whitechapel, bec ° insolvent, and he applied to the plaintiff, an a ttorl to settle his affairs. The plaintiff accord in g called upon the defendant, ant asked him to signA letter of licence to Foster, when the latter obj ect !: unless he had security for the amount of his debt. 0 , The plaintiff said, " Oh, I will become your reel rity," which, after some objecti ons , was ultiou de n f agreed to, and the defendant received three bilis, 621. Gs. Bd. each, drawn by F os t er , an d ac cepteo,"; the plaintiff. The defend an t th en a ll eg ed, in j e answer, that ther e h a d b een a co ll us i on between t' plaintiff and Foster. Yet the plaintiff, an a ttorul comes to this C ourt an d o bt a i n s an injunction to r strain my client f rom t a ki ng a ny legal .. remedy. Low VICE-CFIANCELLOR—infOrM me , Mr. Horne, o lio it was possible, under suc h c i rcums t a nces, for ' Court to grant an injunction. Mr. HoßNE—They made use of very e xtra° nary affidavits. Mr. BAGSHAW contend e d, i n su ppo r t of , h ,„ fig junction, and cited s evera l cases w h ere injuneW he had been granted by Lord Eldon, under what submitted similar circumstances. Mr. HORNE—I am confident your H o nour had V e idea that this injunction did more t h a n stop t o , negotiation of the bills. To restrain my client P r e b secuting his claim in a Court of Justice, under O bi , circumstances, is in my opinion a n authority t 4e Court does not possess. In fact, obtaining t he eaparte injunctions is a practice fraught w ith I, injustice, and ought, if not altogether abolishe' to be materially altered. 0 0 VICE-CHANCELLOR—IS not your client attorney, Mr. Bagshaw ? Mr. BAGsitaw—Yes, your Honour, and he nies that the defendant's answer i s a c orrect ga t "' meat of facts. d i e VICE-CHANCELLOR—I am confident when d Court granted this injunction, there was noth ,ll ; said about restraining the defendant from procee e ing at law. It was only to stop negotiating bills. The plaintiff, a s a n attorney, ought to 1 11 1,1 known it was i m p oss ibl e suc h an injunction ca ti f be granted. He has, however, thought proper to dr 9 up an i n j unct i on w hi c h never was or d ere d, a li t thereby com m itt e d a gross contempt o f Coo t i i Let the injunction be dissolved, and that with costs. hs A f H t e o r n a o o s rt a t t t i e m n e t M o n r. t B o R a o ti case GHAr e p w o i r s t h e d e d the l in books— The VICE-CHANCELLOR (with much w arnni), e , I have decided th e case , Si r , an d w ill h ear n o This being the third Seal, the Court was fat e wards occupied in hearing motions. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. V. This was an MURRAY action for V. a libel SOIYLER published i n the Manchester. Courier and Man c h es ter Herald , 1 ' fleeting on the character of the plaintiff. It i f; peared that the plaintiff had been employed Messrs. Nicols, Priestly, and W a lk er , b u t in CO l*" quence of some misunderstanding had left them. The libel appeared as an advertisement in the ":j fendant's Paper, charging the plaintiff with frau, ; ° stating that he was soliciting orders ostensibly 1 ,, b Iv their firm, when in fact he had no connection " them. Lord TENTERDEN was of opinion that the cation was not sufficiently proved, and the plo" was therefore nonsuited. ABBOT V. COYLE.
