FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Slily IS.) RoME, JUNE 30.—The following is the substance of a circular addressed by the Pope to the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, and Bishops : " His Holiness first observes, that it is his duty to watch not only over the people of ChristendoM, but also over their Pastors (An&tiles), and does not so much recommend to his respectable brethren to fulfil their sacrei obligations with the greatest strict ness, as he prays to the Lord to bless their efforts, His Holiness deplores the numerous attacks directed ag-ainst religion under the cloak of philosophy, and the error 'v rich proclaims that salvation is to be ob tained every religion. Upon this principle, every 11) (Y!‘e of faith would be equally valuable, arid truth And error would be placed upon a level. His Holi ness then recites the regulations of the Councils of Trent, with respect to the translation of the Bible into modern languages. Lastly, he recommends them to enforce, above All things, the sacredness of the sacrament of marriage, and the doctrine of its indissolubility, and not to permit the propagation of maxims which are in any manner contrary to the Divine Law." PARIS, JULY 7.—The Journal of the Two Sicilies announces that the letters from Apulia and Calabria :state that the crop, both of olives and corn, will be very abftndnnt this year. "(From the Journal du Commerce of Friday.) 'PARIS, JULY IG.—The importation of foreign torn into the department of the Lower Seine, has been above 900,000 hectolitres since the last harvest. General La Fayette has given orders to sell the lands which he possesses in the United States, to ray the sdebts of Mr. Monroe. The latter has re fused to accept the gift; but the General's agent ham 'received orders, at all events, to follow his in ttructions. This is the reason for which the lands of General La Fayette in the United States have been recently put up to sale. (FPotn the Courrier Francais of Friday.) PArteS, JULY 17.—T0 what are we to attribute the witkilrawal of Messrs. D'Argenson and Chativelin— tfrme brilliant ornaments of the Chamber of Depu ties ? After so long and laborious a contest in the cause of liberty, they did not wish to be present at the funeral of the Chamber, which already bears the marks of decrepitude, without having passed the days of youth and virility.

NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR, 13ER,LIN, JULY 12.—Silistria surrendered by capi tulntion on the 18th (30th) June. The garrison, tonsisting of 8,000 men, as well as the 10,000 armed inhabitants, are prisoners of war. The Grand Vizier is closely invested in Shurnla by the corps of General Count Diebitsch. ODEssA, JUNE 2 7.—An official notice has been published here to do away with the bad impression caused by false reports respecting a contagious dis order said to prevail here. The Magistrates state that in fact a contagious disorder had prevailed in the quarantine, but that measures were immediately adopted to prevent its spreading, and it is confined to the few persons who had to do with infected goods. In the town itself there is no such disorder, and even the common diseases are now rare. Bes sarabia is very healthy. A second sanitary cordon has lately been established upon the Dniester, to strengthen that on the Pruth and the Danube.— Prussian State Gazelle, July 13. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 20.—(8y Express.)— The Ambassadors of England and France have ar rived here, and have been received with the greatest enthusiasm. The throng of the people, who usually take little interest in public matters, was extremely great. The Porte sent Deputies to the two Am- Itirssadors, to compliment them in their hotels ; soon after the Dragoman of the Porte waited upon them to present to them a message from the Reis Effendi. Preparations are already making for the solemn au dience to be given to the two Ambassadors, which will begin in a few days, and then the negociations will begin on account of which they have come hither. Count Guilleminot has already renewed his acquaintance with the foreign Ministers resident here. Mr. Gordon has hitherto seen only Baron Ottenfels, Von Zayden, and Canitz. The latter will leave Constantinople in a few days. Since the 15th of this month, great activity has been observed in the army of the Sultan. Disagreeable news has been received here front the army (particularly of a battle on the 11th instant), which the Porte endea-1 yours by every means to hinder from spreading.— Meantime the foreign Ambassadors have received intimations which announce nothing good. It is said the Grand Vizier will come here to give the Sultan an accurate account of the state of things. The Russians, it is said, have gained a considerable victory before Shumla, and to have com pelled the Grand Vizier to retreat to that place. It is certain that at this moment no Turkish troops keep the field against the enemy ; and that in Karnabat to the south of the Balkan, fugitives have been seen, who spread terror among the inhabitants. Some persons believe that this unfortunate event and the presence of the Ambassadors may lead to peace, but others believe that the war is now going to begin seriously; that the Sultan will take the field with the standard of the Prophet, and, as he has vowed to do, lead the whole nation against the enemy. The activity that is observed in the Sultan's camp almost leads its to fear the latter resolution ; 7,000 men, com manded by the Seraskier Pacha, set out to-day for the army in the field. VIENNA, JULY B.—Metalliques, OS 13-16ths; Dank Shares, 1,111. Allgemeine Zeitung, July 13. BRUSSELS, JULY 7.—The Journals are chiefly filled with long extracts from the deliberations of the provincial Assemblies; they contain no foreign news of recent dates. The Austrian Observer to 10th July has no news from the theatre of var. That of the 7th relates to the attack of the Austrian squadron upon Larache. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Pais ley, which was both numerously and respectably attended, was held in the Thread street Relief Meeting-house, on Monday afternoon, to take into consideration the propriety of forming an association, and thereby raising a penny per week from each member, to form a fund for giving a bounty to any manufacturer or merchant who would ex port goods, and import grain in return. After much speaking it was put to the meeting whether the proposed association should be entered into or not, when it was carried nearly unanimously, that the measure was inexpe dient. It was then put to the meeting whether those pre sent considered taxation as the only cause of their suffer ings or not, when it was carried unanimously, and with acclamation, that taxation was the only cause. Fears were entertained on Monday last, that renewed attempts would be made to disturb the public peace in Manchester. Messrs. PARKERS, of Newtown, having on that morning reduced, though in a trifling de gree, the prices of weaving, a general strike at their mill took place, and was expected to he followed by that of the wearers in the factory of Mr. HA RTLEY. In the course of the day, several meetings were held, of which the police immediately became informed, and took the neces sary precautionary measures to prevent any riot. Four men armed, were placed in the factory, and a piquet of horse stationed in Shude Hill. We are happy to say, however, that the anticipations of evil which were enter tained by some have not been fulfilled, but that up to this time the town is in a state of perfect tranquillity. It is right to mention, however, that such was the anxiety of some of our functionaries, on Monday evening, for the fate of the, town, one of the police came to the theatre, where Cotonei.Stiatoatid Mr. MORRIS were enjoying Mr. C. I;Estna's..tioutiet; and called those gentlemen out to' consult uppn tfiePstate of Affairs then pending. A council was accordingly held that night, at the police-office, and . the precautionary measures resolved upon which have • Ce proved so efficicioos.—Manchester Advertiser.

SURRENDER OF SILISTRIA. Silistria surrendered on the 30th June. We had been prepared for this ever since the defeat of the GRAND VIZIER,, whose imprudent con duct, in suffering himself to be attacked in the field, has not only accelerated the fall of Silistria but will endanger the safety of all the other for tresses on the Danube, not excepting even Wid din. The garrison of Silistria consisted of 8,000 men, who, with 10,000 armed inhabitants, capi tulated, and are prisoners of war. The surren der of this fortress must prove highly important in its consequences. The campaign is now en tirely in favour of the Russians, who have ac quired a disposable force of perhaps 50,000 men for besieging Shumla, or for marching on Adrianople, The arrival of English and French Ambassadors at Constantinople, may, however, extricate the Turks from their perilous situation, by staying the march of the invader. The news of the GRAND VIZIER'S defeat was known at Constantinople, and naturally produced a great sensation among the higher orders, to whom it was confined by the manoeuvres of the SULTAN. Letters from Mayence give authentic intelli gence of the Governments of Prussia and the low countries having come to an understanding respecting the navigation of the Rhine, and that Prussia had ratified the project of free navigation, modified in some points by the low countries. It is added that the King of PRUSSIA would visit his Rhenish provinces in the autumn, a►,d announce in person the concessions he had made in this navigation. Letters from Havannah to the 3d ult. state, that an additional duty had been laid on Spanish flour, imported in foreign bottoms, of five dollars per barrel, which was to go into im mediate effect. It was expected an embargo would be laid on the vessels hi the harbour. German Papers of the 12th and 13th inst. have been received this morning. They contain an article from the frontiers of Moldavia, descrip tive of a movement by the PACIIA of WIDDIN to reconnoitre the strength and position ref the Russians near, and at Rachova. The Russian advanced posts fell back, but the PACHA did not venture to come to blows. The conduct of flys- SEIN PACHA in surrendering Rachova is cen sured, but we think, with little justice :—he did not surrender, but was overpowered. The PACHA of WIDDIN had better look to himself, now that Silistria has fallen, for it may be his turn next. The heat of the weather has increased the sickness in the provinces : FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, JUNE 29. —According to accounts from Little Wallachia, the Pacha of Widdin, after the occupation of Rachova by the corps of Gene ral Geismar, undertook a great reconnoisance towards that place, in which he fell in with a division of Russian cavalry. The Russians fell back to their posit;on at Rachova (or Orchawa), and the Turks did not attempt any thing farther. It is affirmed that if the Turkish gar rison had done its duty, and the Governor had shewn a little more resolution in its defence, General Geismar would hardly have succeeded in obtaining a firm footing on the right bank of the Danube, as the Pacha of Nicopolis was on the point of coming to the relief of Rachova. Se veral ships, laden with corn, coming from Belgrade, have been set fire to by the Russians with Congreve rockets. FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, JUNE 30. —Notwithstand ing the bad weather and the overflowing of the Danube, and the frequent sallies of the Turks, the siege of Silistria was so far advanced that the fill of the fortress was shortly expected. Up to the 27th, no further ne ws was received at Bucharest from the army of General Diebitsch. BUCHAREST, JUNE 23.—Within these five days the sickness has increased in an alarming manner in conse , quenc e of the hot weather. We are threatened with a general . deserti on o f th e c i ty , as a ll the richer inhabitants were wi thdrawing towards Transylvania; the alarm daily becomes greater. It is reported that Russia will establish another sanitary cordon on the Pruth. ODESSA, JUNE 25.---An expedition of 2,500 men, prepared at Sebastopol and destined fur Sizeboli, has re ceived another destination, on account of unexpected events from Asia, at,rl is now about to join the army of General Paskewitsch. The measures taken by the Go vernment to prevent the extension of the plague, have calmed a little the minds of the people, but every thing conspires to render our commercial situation extremely bad. Considerable agitation is said to have been noticed fur several days past in the Saloons of Paris, from the circumstance of an Address to the KING being in preparation, cautioning his MAJESTY of the danger which surrounds his throne. What clanger is not mentioned. We have Barbadocs Papers to the 20th of June, this morning. Copious and abundant showers had relieved the apprehensions of the Planters, and the weather had changed most favourably. Letters from Lima state that the late pro hibitory decree of the Peruvian Government had been carried into effect, and that an American ship which had touched there had been prevented landing her prohibited articles. The letters from Madrid, of the Gth instant, state that Count D'OFALIA was to arrive at Pais on the 22d instant. Gen. VIGODEL, condemned to death for having been named Regent by the Cortes at Seville, had arrived at Marseilles from Gibraltar. We copy the following paragraph from a Morning Paper:— " SWAN 11 IYER• —The Gilmore, Captain GEA RY, chartered by Mr. THOMAS PEEL, proceeded down the Thames on Saturday, on her way to the Swan River. She left St. Katherine's Dock on Friday. All the neces sary articles for bringing into cultivation the land granted to Mr. PEEL had been placed on board, with live stock, &c. The Gilmore is a ship of 500 tons burden. Mr. PEEL and his wife and family will, it is understood, join the vessel at Plymouth. Among the passengers already on hoard are Captain Mraits and Mr. POTTER, who have grants of land at the intended settlement. The Hoogliley, another ship chartered by Mr. PEEL, will be ready to quit the Thames in a few days. It is sJi,l that several persons of considerable property intend to emigrate to the Swan River, and among them a large landed proprietor of Sussex." This is the very identical vessel which an Evening Paper falsely represented as having formed the subject of a Cabinet Council, at which it was determined not only to prevent her sailing, but to break up the whole arrangements for the settlement of a colony on the Swan River. The fdsehood obtained ready circulation among that class of Papers for which it was in tended, and even formed the subject of many a veracious leading article ! The poor scribblers must be sadly put to it for facts, when they have recourse to such lame and impotent inventions_ But they will have their reward in due time,—if not on the banks of Swan River, perhaps on the classic borders of the Macquarrie I The accounts from the North of Ireland are in the highest degree alarming. Lives have there been endangered ; murders and every spe cies of ruffian enormity committed—and, we regret to say, with impunity—by the Cumber land Brunswickers. How long, pray, is Ireland to groan under the bondage of these solecisms in society and civilization ? Already they have placed her fairest provinces in a state of the most abject vassalage ; already they have done all in their power to raise her character high in the annals of barbarism ; and now they seek to con vince the world that there can be no hope left for Ireland except in the wholesale extermination of the Catholics. We protest, when we read the sickening accounts with which the Times of this morning has abundantly furnished us, we imagine ourselves transported back to the days of the Saint Bartholomew massacre. We fancy we can discern, in tin conduct of the Orangemen of the present age, an ambition of rivalling the infamies of the Catholics of the past. But can this system continue ? Impos sible ; the Gov ernment must l oo k to it, and that promptly—eff ec t ua lly— t h ey must put down with a stern unsparin g h an d— an d t h ey w ill have the prayers of every good man in the community Of either Kingdom to second them— this o dious, unnatural, and blood-thi rs ty O range a scendancy. They must crush the hydra, ev e n though it hav e a thousand heads. They must dismember t he dragon, even though armed men may spring up from its scattered teeth. Mr. SIIEIL has published, in the Dublin Evening Post, a long and elaborate defence of his conduct in accepting a retainer of 300 guineas from Lord GEORGE BERESFORD. The chief object of this epistolary vindication is to prove, that in acting as he has done, he has acted in strict accordance with the dictates of common sense and liberal sentiment. Emancipation once gained—the past, he says, should be forgotten. Liberality should succeed intolerance, and the waters of Lethe be drank alike by Catholic and Protestant. His vindication is, we think, suc cessful ; he has fully redeemed his character from the aspersions which ignorance or prejudice may have cast on it, and in accepting a retainer from the BERESFORD family, has done nothing but what every man of sense would have done under similar circumstances. He has compromised, he asserts, no political opinions by it. What more has Ireland a right to expect from him ? As a curious instance of the multiplicity of law proceedings which will sometimes accom pany a contested Bankruptcy, we are credibly informed that, during the five years already elapsed since the suspension of payments of Messrs. CHAMBERS, no less than fifty actions in Law and Equity have arisen. Is this the way, we beg leave to ask, to satisfy the claims of creditors, and whether, if a little moderation and temper had only been observed by both parties in the outset, the estate would not have been spared the mass of litigation in which it is at present involved ? The despatches brought by an Italian Mes senger yesterday to the Foreign Office, were not from Constantinople, as stated in the Court Circular, but from Smyrna, dated the 9th of June. Despatches were received this morning from Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY at Paris, and Sir CHARLES BAGOT at Brussels. At the Colonial Office despatches have this morning been received from Major-General GRANT, at Trinidad, dated June 7 ; and from Lieut.-Colonel G. IL COLE, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, dated the Ist of May. We understand that they relate only to matters of a local nature connected with the Colonies. We understand that an Assistant Surgeoncy in the service of the East India Company has, in consequence of the resignation of the gentle man to whom Mr. C. WYNN gave it last year, reverted to his nomination, and that the Right Hon. Gentleman has, in the most handsome manner, placed this appointment at the disposal of the Council of the London University, if they will undertake the task of adjudging it to the candidate whom they shall, upon examination, deem to be most meritorious.— Times. The Treasurer of the Ordnance has at length found his way back to town, from his confiden tial mission to Ireland. Report whispers that his services arc required nearer home to conduct a delicate negociation at present in embryo. We shall be much surprised, if, before the close of the present week, he does not pay a friendly visit to 310 riling Chronicle. As a proof of the unexampled and, we will add, unfair eagerness that exists in certain quar ters, to throw peculiar obloquy upon a certain Individual, it is positively affirmed that great efforts are making in the City to procure signa tures to a Round Robin, declaratory of a want of confidence in the existing Order of things, so long as the Individual in question continues to hold an efficient office in the Administration.— The probability is that this attempt will prove abortive ; but the simple circumstance of its having entered into the hands of the Wise Men of the East is too remarkable to be passed with out notice.—Morning Chronicle. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TwEr.rs o' Clam A great confusion was caused in the city this morning, owing to a letter having been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, as follows, and posted on the board : _ . " PORTSMOUTH, JULY 19.—We beg to inform you that orders have been received here late to day for the immediate equipment of ten sail of the line. Al. G. is gone out to endeavour if possible to obtain some clue us to its destination. " P.S.---M. G. is not yet returned, but Capt. S. informs us troops will embark in the above. (Signed) " For GARRAT and GIBBONA, " L. THOMAS." The above letter, on mature examination, i;be lieved to be a hoax, as Garrat and Gibbons are the agents of Lloyds, and other letters from the same gentlemen are in town, which do not mention a word on the subject. Besides, we should have heard of so important an event from other quarters ; therefore the above letter must have been written for stock-jobbing purposes. The hand-writing is not known by the clerk of the North and South Ameri can Coffeehouse. We have arrivals this morning from the Cape of Good Hope to the 21st of May; also from Calcutta of the 24th Feb., which is not so late as the last arrival. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 89+ 1 for the account, opened at the same price, and on the report of ten sail of the line being ordered out they went down to 894, sellers, but the account not being credited they resumed their former price. The capitulation of Silistria is looked on as a mortal blow to the Turks, and gives to the Russians the entire command of the Danube; it also adds 30,000 men to the grand Russian army, which no doubt will blockade Shumla, and proceed on the main road to Adrianople, for the double purpose of cutting off all communication with Shumla and striking terror into the people of Constantinople.

He was immediately carried home to his residence, in German street, where be remains without hope of recovery.— Manchester Mercyry. LAWINTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. GOODACRE V. WILKINSON. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that in this case, which was argued some time ago, the question turned upon the construction of a contract entered into in July, 1824, on the one side by Messrs. Goodacre and Buzzard, and on the other by the defendant, for the sale by the plaintiff to the de fendant, of a living in Radnorshire, when it should become vacant, for the sum of 7,500/. The title of the plaintiff's was a title not marketable, and subject to many infirmities; they were desirous of selling it, such as it was, and the contract was en tered into for that purpose. It was impossible to read it without coming to the conclusion, that all parties concerned in the contract understood the sale of the title to be, the title such as it was at the time the agreement was entered into. The Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench had expressed the same opinion. No imputation of fraud was imputed to the plaintiffs ; and under these circumstances the Court felt bound to decree a specific performance of the contract. The defendant would of course be entitled to avail himself of all the security and in demnity provided by the. deed of agreement, in case there should not be a conveyance effected to the de fendant of the living when it became vacant. THE LATE DUKE OF ROXBURGH'S WILL. Mr. IJORNE was instructed to apply fur his Lord ship's decision in this case respecting a new trial. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, no verdict, he be lieved, could ever be satisfactory to his mind, unless the evidence of Mr. Dundas was submitted to a Jury in some way or other. tie had taken time to consider whether he should order Mr. Dundas to be examined, and in the result had determined to make no order, leaving it entirely to the parties to exer cise their own discretion on both sides. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL observed, that this was not a direct order that Mr. Dundas should be exa mined, yet that it amounted to this, that his clients would either have to produce Mr. D. to be exa mined upon a new trial, or to give up their estate. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE KING V. WEST AND OTHERS. This was an indictment for an assault on the pro secutor, Charles Clark, by four persons, named West, Jones, Enty, and Lyons, at the Castle, Islington, on the 19th December last.—Verdict for the defendants. JESSOP, ESQ. V. GILLET. This was an action for the recovery of 281. 75., for a year and a half's rent of some chambers, in Clifford's-inn. Mr. Common Serjeant DENMAN called a Mr. Hansworth, the steward of the Inn, who had been employed by Mr. Jessop to let the chambers, which lie did to Mr. Gillet. Ile had since let them to another gentleman; and denied, in his cross-exa mination, that Mr. Gillet had ever given him notice to quit. To prove that notice was given, the defendant called a respectable-looking young lady, who stated that she accompanied the defendant to Mr. Hans worth, vhen the former gave him a distinct notice to quit, and an order to sell off the furniture ‘rhich then remained on the premises. Mr. COMMON SERJEANT—Pray what is Mr. Gil let: is he a single man ? Witness—Yes, I be lieve he is. COUNSEL—Are you a single woman ? Witness— Yes. COUNSEL—How came you to go with Mr. Gil let ? Witness—l went with him to select some furniture for his rooms in Chelsea. COUNSEL—You live with him, I believe ? Wit ness—Yes, I keep the house. COUNSEL—Oh you are his housekeeper.—Wit ness—No, I keep the house where he lodges. It is my own house. COUNSEL—Then he lodges with you ?—Witness —Yes, he has his two rooms to himself. COUNSEL—But do you not live with him as man and wife 2—Witness—No, I must tell you that I was living with Mr. Gillett, in the Inn, while his sister and his son were with him, and when his sister left him, my grandmother thought I ought not to remain any longer li v i ng i n an I nn o f C ourt with a single man, and I then took the cottage where I now live in Chelsea. COUNSEL—Then Mr. Gillet is your lodger ? Witness—Yes. COUNSEL—Pray do you not sit at the head of Mr. Gillet's table ?—Witness—l sit at the head of my own table. COUNSEL—Does not Mr. Gillet sometimes sit at the bottom of it ? Witness—No. He generally has his own table, and I have mine; but sometimes, when he has not prepared, he dines with me, and I have sometimes dined with him and his son. COUNSEL—How old is Mr. Gillet and his son ? Witness—His son is 14, and he is about 44. Air. DENMAN then contended that this lady had apparently done all the duties of a wife, and come to do more, as a wife could not be a witness for the defendant. He believed that the Jury would be of opinion, that the accident which sometimes In•ought them together at the same table, would also bring them together in some other part of the house where the grandmother was not by to take care of her, and when the tendency of human nature might be as strong in a cottage as the grandmother seemed to imagine it might be in an inn of Court. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. BERRIES V. SMITH. This was an action by the natural daughter of Arthur Cooke, deceased, against his administrator, to recover thirty pounds, as three years' wages for her services to her father. The defendant contended, that during the lifetime of her father the plaintiff had received the profits from a mangle in lieu of wage , :, and that the mangle itself had been given to her at the death of her fa ther, as a set-off against any further claim.—Verdict for the defendant. THE O'CONNELL FUND. --The detail of the Thursday acknowledgments, exhibits a great augmentation of receipts. The " Rent" itself, in its best times, encreased not with the rapidity of this truly national fund. We are now certain that it will far exceed the amount originally anticipated.—Dublin Morning Register. ATIILONE.—Our correspondent informs us, that a murder was attempted in this quarter during the late Orange merry-making. Aim was deliberately taken at an unoffending Catholic, and a bullet sent through his hat. It has been ascertained that the powder used on the occa sion, and consumed during the greater part of the sports, was abstracted, somehow or other, from the Ordnance Stores. It was with great difficulty that a certain Magis trate took informations at all against the assassin and his accomplices, but we are told, that though the informations were taken, the accused parties have been suffered to re main at large on bail.—Dublin Morning Register. UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGI-I.—Monday the Senatus Academicus of the University of Edinburgh conferred the Degree of Doctor of Medicine on ninety-nine gentlemen, after having gone through the appointed ex atninations, and publicly defended their inaugural disserta tions. Of these gentlemen, twenty-six were natives of Scotland, thirty-two were from England, thirty-two from Ireland, one from Portugal, one from Russia, one from Malta, one from Canada, one from Bermuda, three from Jamaica, and one from the East Indies. HERRING FISHING.--The town of Wick is beginning to assume'its usual appearance of bustle during the herring fishing. Last night a number of boats were to put out to sea, and next week the fishing will b e general. to which we formerly a d verte d turned and several barrels, w e uu d erstand, have : 1 1 :1iYn i g rom Hamburg on account of the infe tloyifinfitthe fish. The Burghead b oa t s commenced on eas and Friday ; the first night a f ew scores of her- Thursday rings were taken but none the second. The Lossiemouth boats caught from one to four cranes per boat on Friday. At Portmaholmack, the boats have also been out, but as yet without much succees. Confident hopes, however, are entertained of a good fishing this season, as great bodies of herrings have been lately seen in the Firth, and the few that have been caught a .. e in prime condition•—.. inv crnes , Courier.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. There being only two cases for trial, the Court did not sit this morning till eleven o'clock, when the following prisoners were discharged by procla mation, the Grand Jury having ignored the bills preferred against them : Ann Watts, Wm. Stretch, Mary Brown, Wm. Tent, Catharine Ellison, Johanna Ellison, Jeremiah Key, John Berwick, Patrick Mullins, Jackson Do navan, Francis link, Jos. Rayner, Roger Henley, Eliza Cox, John Burton, Wm. Styles, Joseph Hurst, Mary Styles, and Ann Holloway. Maria Nay was indicted" for feloniously inter marrying with Samuel Harris, her former husband, William Nay, being then living. Samuel Harris staled that he was a butcher, living in Spafields. He married the prisoner eleven years since, at St. Luke's church, Old-street, and lived with her until about leftio itrz for several monthss d she got drunk, and ince a , p w ; i he l lt e afterwards refused to live with her, having ascer tained that at the time he was mantled her former husband was living. She described herself as a single woman. John Kirby—Knew the prisoner's first husband. Was present at his marriage, twenty years since, at Stepney Church. Had not seen him for more than twelve years. Witness did not know whether he was dead or living. The RECORDER told the Jury that they must ac quit the prisoner, there being no proof that her first husband was living at the time of her second mar riage.—Verdict, Not Guilty. Lorenzo Pardo (a Spanish refugee) was indicted for stealing a coat, value 31., the property of M. Francis Clarke. The prisoner was seen to take the coat out of the house; he was followed, and taken into custody with the stolen property in his possession. When called on for his defence, he said, (through the medium of an interpreter) that he was in the greatest possible distress, not having a farthing in the world, and a stranger in a foreign country. On the day in question he went into a public house to solicit charity, in which there were several people who gave him something to drink. When he was about to leave, one of them told him to go to the prosecutor's house and fetch the coat, which he did, under the supposition that this person was the master of the house. RECORDER—I think the Jury cannot give much credit to such a statement. The prisoner then called Mr. Emanuel Mer cury who stated that he had known the un fortunate person at the bar for six or seven months; that he was the most charitable man he ever met with ; he had known him on several occa sions, when he met a distressed object, give him every farthing he had in his pocket, although at the time he was himself unable to get sufficient food, his only income being six or seven shillings a week, al layed by the " Spanish Refugee society," He had some property in Spain, but when he was driven from that country, it was confiscated. The perse cution he had met with at times so completely over powered him, that. he was quite insensible of what he was doing.--Verdiet, Guilty. The RECORDER said, under the peculiar circum stances of the case, the sentence of the Court was that he be imprisoned one month.

NEW RUSSIAN EXPEDITION. —Baron Hum- ROLM', after a short stay at St. Petersburgh, left that city towards the end of May, to proceed to the Ural moun tains. There is every reason to expect from him, if not a number of new observations, at least a series of experi ments and notices muck more exact than those made by his predecessors, with the exception, perhaps, of Messrs. usTEN and ERMAN, of Stockholm and Berlin, whose objects were much more limited. What will give much interest to his journey is the comparison which will pro bably be instituted between the steppes of Asia and Africa ; for M. HUMBOLDT is accompanied by professor EHRZW . BERG, as zoologist and botanist, who made so interesting a journey through, the Libyan deserts; to Dongolah, Mount Sinai, and Mount Lebanon, and who alone will be thus enabled to give a correct comparative table of the pheno= mena presented by analogous countries in these two p a rts of the world.-- Literary Gazette.
