The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Hour) said that this was an action against the Hon. Mr. Curzon, Mr. Smith, Mr. Slade, Mr. Morrison, and Mr. Letts, who had been Directors of a Joint Stock Company, called " The City of London Cen tral-street and Northern Improvement Company." The plaintiff was appointed Secretary to the Com pany, and the action was for work and labour done, and for services rendered to the Company in the ca pacity of Secretary. Mr. Harmer, the solicitor to the Company, pro duced the books in which the proceedings of the Directors were registered, by which it appeared that each of the defendants had acted as Directors. Two letters from the Hon. Mr. Curzon were put in. They were to the effect that Mr. Curzon consented to become a director. The plaintiff was appointed, and acted as secretary to the Company. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 125/. SCOTT V. BEVAN. This day was published, the Fourteenth Edition, price Ss. hoards, ILLUSTRATIONS OF MASONRY, By the late WILLIAM PRESTON, Esq.

Printed for Whittaker, Treacher, and Co., Ave Maria-lane. This was an action to recover the sum of 1,3111. 16s. 4d. The plaintiff had obtained judgment against the defendant in Jamaica for a sum (including costs and interest) of 1,8361. 10s. Bd. Jamaica currency. This was admitted by the defendant. and the dispute between the parties was upon the amount of sterling money which represented the sum of 1,8361. 10s. Bd. in Jamaica currency. The defendant contended, that if the money had been paid in Jamaica, the plaintiff must either have received it in bills, or have transmitted it to England in bills, which bills would bear a premium. In this view of the ease 1661. and a fraction, Jamaica currency, would represent 100/. sterling, and the defendant, calculating his debt at this rate, had paid 1,1021. into court. The plaintiff contended that he might have insisted upon being paid in specie, if he had been paid at all in Jamaica; that it did not follow that he meant to remit the money to England ; and that consequently he had a right to be paid according to the actual difference between Jamaica currency and sterling money, that difference being only 40 per cent. The sum of 1,836/. 10s. Bd. reduced to sterling money by this calculation would give the sum claimed by the plain tiff, and the sum in dispute between the parties was, therefore, 2091. 16s. 4d. Verdict for the plaintiff to the full amount claimed. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 16. WASON V. SMITH AND OTHERS. This action was brought by the plaintiff, a pro fessional gentleman, residing at Liverpool, against the defendants, who are coach-proprietors, to re cover the amount of the expenses which he had incurred in posting from London to Liverpool, in consequence of the defendants not having per formed their contract to convey him and his luggage by the Sovereign coach. After hearing all the evidence (which was of conflicting nature) the Jury retired, and after an absence of about an hour and a half's duration, they returned a verdict for the defendants. ADMIRALTY COURT, JuNE 16. THE 1101INTSTUART ELPHINSTONE.-WAGES. This was a suit promoted by a mariner, named Stephenson, against the owner of the ship Mount stuart Elphinstone, for a balance of wages due on an agreement for a voyage to the East Indies and China, out and home, which lasted two years, during which the mariner was steward of the ship. Li that capacity he had the charge of the plate, con sisting of upwards of 200 ounces ; and it was agreed between the owner and the steward, that if any part of the plate should be missing through the latter's fraud or negligence, he should make it good. On the return of the ship, in April last, it was alleged that several small articles, amounting to 24. ounces were missing, for which Stephenson did not account. The owner, therefore, deducted the sum from his amount of wages; which balance the mariner now sought to recover. Sir C. ROBINSON said, that the law, no doubt, held persons in the seaman's situation bound to the honest discharge of their duty ; and they could not, when their conduct was essentially impeached, come to this Court for the recovery of their wages. With respect to the particular case before the Court, it was not possible for less to be stated to give effect to the principle of the law. There was neither fraud nor negligence charged against the individual; the arti cles missing were trifling, and such as came into con stant use. It was the duty of the Court to reject the allegation, and thereby stop the suit in limine. It was stated that the owner in this case was owner of several other vessels, in which a similar contract was entered into, and he was desirous of settling the point of responsibility on the part of the stewards.

Thomas Page pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging him with robbing his employers, Messrs. Venables and Co., linen-drapers, Oxford -street, of a large quantity of silk handkerchiefs. William Page and John Page, brothers of the above prisoner, were indicted for receiving a quail. tity of silk-handkerchiefs, knowing them to be stolen, the property of Messrs. Venables. The goods which were found in hat-boxes, where the prisoners lived, were identified by a brother of the prosecutors. William Page, in his defence, said he bought them of his.brother, who told him he was in one of those shops - Ivliere they advertise to sell bankrupts' stocks at one-third their value, and that he was authorised to dispose of them. He gave, as he thought, a fair price. The Jury found William Page Guilty, but acquit ted his brother John. THE'FIRE AT THE BAZAAR IN OXFORD-STREET. Mary Hewitt, a respectable-looking, middle-aged woman, was indicted for stealing two fancy work boxes, value 65., six pincushion; value half-a-crown, and a memorandum-book, the property of Mi•s Mary Goetze, who kept a counter in the bazaar in Oxford -street, previous to the late fire.—The Jury found her Guilty.

Richard Ellis was capitally indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Griffith Foulkes, linen-draper and silk-mercer, Little Russell-street, Covent-garden, and stealing therein eight rolls of silk, value about 80/. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty—Death. Edward Turner, aged 19, Thomas Crowther, aged 18, and Mary Stevens, widow, aged 19, were capitally indicted for assaulting Thomas Davis, on the King's highway, and stealing from his person a watch and other articles, his property. Thomas Davis, the prosecutor, deposed that he was a linen-draper, and lived in Seymour-place. On the night of the 6th of May he met the female prisoner, and was induced to accompany her to a public-house, where there was music and dancing. She desired the fiddler to " strike up," and after remaining here for some time, they went out to gether, and the female prisoner• brought him to the end of a building near the New-road. Here she coughed, and in an instant lie (the prosecutor) was knocked down by four or five men. While on the ground, two men, whom he believed to be the prisoners, held him down, and prevented him from crying out. The night was dark, and there was no lamp near the spot. The two men who held him down were in the room where the dancing was,and left it before he (the prosecutor) and the female prisoner went away. One of the other men held a knife to him, and he said " Do not injure me, and I will give you all I have." The men then took from his person his hat and pocket-handkerchief, a sovereign and a half, a metal watch, and gold watch ring, three knives, and a pair of scissors. Ihe men remained upon his person for several minutes until they were alarmed by a creaking noise, like the raising of a window-sash. The men then ran away, and one of them before he went kicked him violently on the head. The female prisoner went away us soon as the men came up. The Jury, after a short consultation, found the three prisoners Guilty, but recommended Mary Ste vens to mercy en the ground that she was not on the spot when the robbery was committed. The RECORDER told the Jury that they must re consider their verdict. If they believed that the female prisoner was not present at the robbery, nor remained near the spot while it was committed, she was entitled to an acquittal upon this indictment, although she might still be indicted as an accessory before the fact. . The Jury having reconsidered their verdict, found Mary Stevens Not Guilty. The RICORDXII immediately directed the prost- EXPENSES TO WITNESSES. In the course of the day a parish constable applied to the Court for his expenses in attending the trial of a man for stealing a shirt value two shillings, when the following dialogue took place between the Common Serjeant and the constable : Mr. DENMAN—Were you examined upon the trial ? Constable—No, my Lord, I was not ; but I went before the Grand Jury, and my name is on the back of the bill. Mr. DENMAN—The Court cannot allow you the expences. Constable—l hope your Lordship will order me payment : I have lost a deal of time in the business. Mr. DENMAN—What do you call a deal of time ? Constable—Seven days, my Lord. Mr. DENMAN—And pray what do you want to be allowed for the seven days? Constable—l believe it is usual to allow 3s. 6d. a day, my Lord. Mr. DENMAN—Then that will amount to 11.45. 6d. Now do you think that the county ought to allow you that sum of money for attending here seven days ? and for what ? (Here the Learned Serjeant turned to the depositions) Merely to give us this important piece of information—" I was on duty at the watch-house when the prisoner was brought in. I searched him, but found nothing upon him. It really is too bad, and ought not to be borne. I will not allow you one farthing expenses; and it should be understood, where constables unnecessarily force themselves as witnesses, that the Court will not countenance such a species of fraud. CURIOUS CASE OF BASTARDY. Saturday Win. Goodwin, a journeyman weaver, was brought up on a warrant by the Beadle of Beth nal-green parish, before the Worship-street Magis trates, for refusing to obey an order of affiliation, for the maintenance of a bastard child of which he is sworn to be the father. Mary Hitchcock, an interesting looking young woman, swore that Goodwin was the father of the child; she worked for him, and knew that he was a married man. Goodwin said he was not the father of the child, and it had been sworn to him out of spite, and even if he was the father he had no money to maintain it with. Mr. BROUGHTON—If you don't pay you must go to prison. Goodwin—Very well, Sir, I will. Goodwin's wife here came into the office, and in the most violent manner stamped upon the floor, and said the girl was a nasty stinking bunter, and had been on the town four years. Several respectable looking persons said it was false, and she got her living by hard work; they were sure she had been led into it by the man.— (A laugh.) Goodwin's wife—l am sure if my husband hadn't been corrupted by her, nothing would have hap pened.—(Laughter.) The office was here in a complete state of con fusion, with women who attended to hear the deci sion of the case. There was for several minutes no thing else but stamping with feet and clacking with tongues, which too often happens among the female sex ; some of them said the girl had been led into it, and others contended that the man had been corrupted by the girl. Mr. BROUGHTON (to Goodwin)—lf you don't pay you must go to prison. Goodwin's wife (in a violent hurry)--Suppose I was to tempt you or any other matt, I don't know what might be the consequence.—(Much laughter.) Mr. BROUGHTON—WeII, at any rate you appear to have as good anivo,piirttaiona o h f avd the ca m se e , n haasvyinogu been of the women. Wife—W hY s married to my husband eleven years, that he should go to prison for such a strumpet as that—besides, you know the state of our trade will hardly allow us to get bread for ourselves, much more to fill the mouths of bastard children.—(Loud laughter.) Goodwin —I have only two looms, and they will be taken away in a day or two. Mr. BROUGHTON—Who is your employer? Good win—Messrs. Duff and Brooks. Mr. BROUGHTON—WiII they advance you any money ? Goodwin—Not a farthing, Sir; I have not received any money from them these seven weeks. Mr. BROUGHTON—You must be committed to t h e House of Correction for three months to hard labour. Goodwin—Very well; I shall get supported bet ter there than at home, and my family will go to the workhouse. Mr. BROUGHTON—And if the money for the sup port of the child is not paid, you are just as liable to be committed again for three months. Goodwin's wife—l am sure my husband is not the father of the child. Mr. BROUCIIITON—Very clever indeed; pray how can you tell ? Wife—Why because I am sure he would not be guilty of such a thing; before I was married he never attempted to take any liberties with me. Goodwin, on being removed from the bar to the cell, said to the girl—Well, Poll, you have got the best of it; but, however, the poor girl had not time to reply before his wife rushed up and struck her on the nose, and she would no doubt have had her face pretty well scratched, had it not been for seve ral persons present interfering. The poor girl was about going to the magistrate for a warrant, but was forced away by her friends.

A Meeting of the Master Ladies' Boot and Shoe• makers, Curriers, and others concerned in the leather trade was held on Monday evening last at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Committee, appointed on the 12th of February, to endeavour to obtain some relief for trade, from the depression it was suffering in con sequence of the enormous importation of French shoes since the Free Trude Bill had come into opera tion. Mr. tfooK, ladies' shoemaker of Bond-street, wac called to the Chair. Mr. GEORGE SMITH, Jun., the Secretary, read the report, which stated that the Committee, after having received assurances of support from those connected with the trade throughout the kingdom, directed their attention, in the first instance, to ob taining official returns of the quantity of boots and shoes imported into this country from France for the last nine years, in order to shew to the Board of Trade, to whom application was primarily in tended to be made, the extraordinary increase which had taken place since the passing of the Free Trade Bill in 1826. These returns were made on the motion of Sir F. Burdett, in the House of Com mons, on the 7th of April; but they proved unsatis factoiy, as boots and shoes were found to have been indiscriminately entered with all other articles made of leather. The Committee next inquired if pau perism had increased amongst the shoemakers in con quence of the importation of French shoes. In the parish of St. James's, Westminster, it appeared that there were no fewer than one hundred and twenty seven shoemakers in the workhouse, whereas in 1824, the date of the Free Trade Bill, there were only three. Their next effort was to ascertain as nearly as possible the extent of the sale of French shoes. On inquiry, they found that one house was in the habit of ordering 1000 dozens at a time-- that another sold 90/. worth of a day, and thttt a third had sold not less than 30,000 pairs in six weeks. The importation of French boots and shoes into London alone during the past year they stated to be 800,000 pairs, which, they added, had de pressed the trade more than one-third of usual em ployment. The Committee, after these inquiries, proceeded to memorialise the Board of Trade to sanction an alteration in the existing law, so as to afford an adequate protection for capital. They pointed out the injuries the trade sustained from the admission of foreign boots and shoes at so low a rate of duty as 30 per cent. The Committee subse quently obtained an interview with the Members of the Board of Trade, when they learned that it was the firm intention of the Goverment to adhere to the principle of free trade, as established in 1826. Upon which the Committee entreated that the duty might be altered from an ad valorem to a rated duty of so much the dozen pairs, and that the duty would be ordered to be enforced with more exactness than was then put in execution. In the reasonableness of both of these requests the Board of Trade con curred, and in order that the first might be ef fective, requested the Committee to prepare a schedule of prices upon that principle, which was accordingly made out and acceded to by the Board of Trade. The reading of the Report was followed by ap plause. Mr. SKINNER, of Oxford-street, in moving that the Report be adopted, observed, that instead of paying 30 per cent. upon imported goods, the dealer was, by either the relaxed manner in which the duty was enforced, or the means taken by the importer, enabled to get his goods into this country at a cost of not more than 12, or at the most 15 per cent. In order to make the matter clear to the members of the Board of Trade, they classed the manufac ture of this country under six different heads, and that of France under four, for there were two classes of articles manufactured in this country, by Mr. Taylor and Mr. Green, that could not be attempted in France. The first class of France, which was only equal to the third in England, stood the manu facturer in, between wages and materials, 2s. 10/d., and were sold here for 75.; the second 2s. 6d., and retailed at ss. Gd. ; the third Is. 10d., arid retailed at 4s. 6d.; and the fourth Is. 4-1-d., retailed at 2s. ld. Could any man in England make or sell such, at such prices ? No, the same advantages were not to be had in England that were to be obtained in France; and Englishmen were, in consequence, unable to compete with foreigners. Well, the third class of English manufactured articles, which was equal to the first of France, stood the manufacturer in Gs. 9d., and were retailed at 9s. 6d. ; the fourth ss. Gd., re tailed at 75.; the fifth 4s. 9d., retailed at 65. ; the last 45., retailed at ss. The Board of Trade were evidently struck with the comparative difference here pointed out, and the difficulty that the English manufacturer had to contend with, in consequence of the operation of the Free Trade Bill, and expressed themselves ready to do every thing in their power, short of increasing the duty or infringing upon the Bill, that would be likely to alleviate the distressed state of the trade. Mr. Skinner then observed, that while in 1820, when the duty upon imported goods was 75 per cent., the quantity of French shoes im ported into this country did not amount to more than 4501. a year, in 1828, they exceeded 12,000/. a year nominal value, whereas the actual value was much beyond this amount. Mr. Skinner concluded by moving that the report be adopted, which being seconded, was put from the Chair.—Carried. Thanks were then voted to the Committee, to the ' Secretary, and to the Chairman, after which the meeting separated. A handsome sum was collected at the door to meet the expenses of the Committee. Serjeant \\ T ILDE, asked his brother Serjeant, TADDY, the other morning, how Lord WYNFORD (the C. J.) looked upon his elevation. Serjeant TAnDY re plied, " That for some time he had thought him common pleas-el, but that now he looked un-common pleas-d." We understand it is intended by a number of professional and other friends o f Mr. T HERRY , w h ose judicial appointment to preside over the Court of Requests at Sidney we lately noticed, to give that gentleman a public dinner in this city previous to his departure for New South Wales. This tribute to the worth and talents of Mr. THERRY must be exceedingly gratifying to its object, and whilst it affords pleasure to his numerous friends and rela tions must be considered an acknowledgment of the pro priety of the selection of a high judicial officer by the Go vernment.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Yesterday Barkham Coney, Eq. Appeared before the Court to take the benefit of the Act ; and was opposed nn behalf of Messrs. PALLEN and FARTHING. Mr. HEATH objected to his being heard on his present petition, on the ground that he had not paid the bill on his former attorney, 11r. SHEPPARD. The insolvent said that Mr. SHEPPARD was in Brussels, and had sent his bill in only within the last few days. The Court ordered the insolvent to he re mnnded till he settled with Mr. SIIEPI:ARD, when he will he brought up, and the opposition of his creditors pro ceeded on.

The Turks are no less active on their part, and are concentrating their forces on the most eligible points. As both parties will enter the field with considerable accession of strength, the struggle, it is expected, will be murderous in the extreme. On the part of Russia the ensuing campaign will assume some new features. Last year no more Cossacks were employed than were abso lutely indispensable as the light cavalry of the army, and those were generally regular and well disciplined troops. This year 24 pulks, or regi ments, of these rude and ragged warriors are to be let loose upon the population of Turkey ; and it is expected that, like the bloodhounds of Pizarro, they are to worry the natives into sub mission. But this is bad policy, for,.as they will find but little or no plunder, it is natural to suppose they will wreek their vengeance on the poor and inoffensive peasantry, who principally profess the Greek religion, and whom co-opera tion and conciliatory measures might effectually secure. Another alteration is likewise to take place ; the horses of the regular cavalry employed last campaign were all "stud bred," and, upon trial, were found too delicate to encounter the difficulties and privations inseparable from active service in Turkey. Another system has been adopted this year, and agents have been sent into the Ukrain to purchase Cossack horses, as more inured to fatigue. Hardy as these little horses certainly are, it remains to be proved with what effect they can be employed against the Arab charges of the Turkish cavalry. As for the Turks, they have borne, with their usual fortitude, the privations occasioned by an - - unusually severe winter, and are waiting witli in tense anxiety for the commencement of the cam paign ; all is unanimity and good order in their camps, and the same spirit reigns from the Das nube to the Euphrates, so wonderfully has the policy of the Sultan succeeded. Andreossi, who published a work on the aqueducts of Turkey, about 20 years since, kavmg occasion to allude to this extraordinary man, then very young, makes use of these remarkable worcts " I see in the character of Mahmoud (young as he is) a pledge of future greatness; to judge from present appearances, he is destined to he the Peter the Great of Turkey, and the renova tor of his country•" This singular prediction has so far been fulfilled. Mahmoud, notwith standing his bloody executions, has succeeded in gaining the hearts of his subjects, and of in- spiring them with a sense - of his supriwisy.- Formerly a Turkish camp was a perretnal scene. of discord and bloodshed, occasioned not> only by the want of discipline, but by the jarring ele-, ments of which the army was composed ; the fiercest contentions would then break out between the Janissaries and less privileged troops—now all is unison and harmony ; and, if I may use the expression, so great an esprit de corps exists in the heterogeneous mass of which a Turkish army is composed, that the Sultan may be said, in the language of our Henry the Fifth, to com mand " a band of brothers"—for Asiatics and Europeans, Arabs, Egyptians, and Albanians, cheerfully unite in the great work in which they are engaged, and willingly follow their ener getic leader to death or victory. Nor are the Turks deficient in invention, for they have introduced a new implement of de, struction, which they employed, with consider. able effect, against the Russians. A small mor- tar is fixed to a short and strong staff, and car ried like a musket, over the shoulder ; the charge consists of five or six grape-shot, or a propor tionate number of musket-balls, enclosed in a tin case. This " portable moi tar brigade," support ed by cavalry, takes up a position beyond the range of musketry. The pointed end of 11-, staff is then fixed in the ground at an angle duly calculated, and three discharges can be made in a minute. As the Turks fire with extraordinary precision, the canister explodes in the square, and makes sad havoc in the racks of the Rtis , sians. An Englishman connected with ac t ex tensive foundery near St. Petersburgh skovv e d me a drawing of this formidable weapon the original is kept as a curiosity in the armoury of the Grand Duke Michael. The greatest attention has been paid to the fortresses on the Danube, which have been put into the est state of defen ce b y exper i enced European engineers. All are well provisioned, and all well garrisoned. If the siege of these places is protracted till summer, the malaria aris ing from the marshes of the Danube will occa sion dreadful ravages in the army of the be siegers, for it is well known that the southern parts of Wallachia during the summer heats is of all places in Europe, one of the most fatal, to foreigners. If the 1 urks hold out till autumn they are safe. The events of last camp a i gn are a proof of the impossibility of prosecutin g a siege at that season. So nitlch fOr the Danube. As for Shumla, any attempts to force a passage there will be quite fruitless ; but I will give you the words of the Russian Staff-Officer to whose pamphlet I have had occasion to allude : "When the army reached Shumla, we fon:,,d, in the first place, • a line of fortifications P:xtend ing six miles ; then a considerable tow-„, built in m th o e u fo lt r a m in , o f the an top o amph which w. itheatre, the sid e o f a ;bristled (heri sse ) with artillery. Had we s.,jeceeded in forcing the intrenchments, or even in effecting a breach in the walls of the tawn, still no advantage whatever could be obtained. Each street of a place built in this peculiar way would be disputed at th e point of the bayonet, and that, too, by men whose desperate courage must be seen to be ap, preciated ; whilst a vast chain of fortifications, only 300 toises above the heads of the besiegers, would speedily overwhelm any force we could pour intq the breach, and if, as a primary opera tiop, we attempted to storm the heights, the consequences might easily be anticipated." This is the opinion of a Russian officer of rank and talent. I probably have seen more of Shumla than he has, and can not only vouch for the correctness of his statement, but can assure him, that even if Shumla were taken, the diffi culties would not end there. The chain of (tit , Balkan mountains extends at least 50 miios depth beyond Shumla, and is a continu v ci suc cession of rocky defile, covered with Wood ; the road (if such it can be called) is entirely im practicable for artillery or heavy baggag e %vaggoits , and in many places Oic cavalry would be obliged
