ATTROCIOUS ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A GREEK BISHOP AT PARIS. "IL SACA RUS, a-Native of Bethlehem, in Judea; known to many Englishmen Who visit that City, and who has long officiated as an Ecclesiastic of the Greeks there, was attacked last week, near the Altar of his Church, by an Assassin, who attempted first to cut out his tongue, and afterwards his head, with a razor and knife ! Although his throat, breast, hands, and face, have been wounded in twenty different parts, yet his long bushy beard appears to have secured him from instant destruction. He now lies in the Hospital a mangled spectacle, and in a very dangerous state. An appeal is now made to Britons, who are ever alive to suffering humanity, and especially at the present moment, when they are so interested in every event respecting the Greeks.

FOR THE SUN. FLIAACPUTI- Of all the virtues which can adorn a young person, filial piety is; without any exception, the most amiable, as well as the .most natural. It is perhaps the only one which, while it commands general admiration, never excites either jealousy or envy. Though the practice of it be, in effect, merely the fulfilling of an imperative duty, yet the good and the virtuous are ever disposed to praise the youth wh6 is obedient to his parents, and whose chief business h to cherish them. The praises bestowed upon ittare not, however, merely gratuitous. A child..that cheerfully submits to the necessary restialtits'id:ptirentet 'authority, who lends a willing ear to the admonitions of age, and suffers his youthful passions to be restrained and directed by the voice of parental experience, cannot possibly have an immoral or vicious dis position. And that heart cannot be a stranger to gratitude, love and benevolence, which repays the care 4nd the tenderness of a parent by reverence and affection. Some of the most en dearing virtues of the human heart, are therefore centered in the performance of the duties of filial piety ; and in the disposition requisite to feel and to practice it, some of the noblest, and of the most essential social qualifications ginate. Hence it is, that in all ages, and in every clime, and under every form of religion, moralists have praised, and recommended the fulfilment of this imperious duty ; and have pro inked honour in this life, and happiness in the next, to those who have ever proved themselves obedient and affectionate children. The Iv w which Divine Goodness framed itself for the chosen people, is explicit upon this head, and promises length of days to those who honour their fathers and their mothers, whilst in all ages every instance of filial piety has been carefully remembered, and held up as an example to future generations. The affection which parents feel for their chil dren naturally awakens a corresponding senti ment in the heart of their offspring. The ear liest impressions made upon the infant mind are those of the kindness of its parents►. Wreak, timid, exposed hourly to wants and to dangers, the child connects the idea of its comfort and se clarity, with that of the persons who first watched over its safety, and provided for its necessities ; and those enily impressions naturally produce a due sense of dependence and proper feelings of gratitude and of affection. In these sentiments filial piety originates; and they prove the fertile source of numerous great and good qualities, by giving to the youthful mind an early bias towards those dispositions which are most amiable in themselves, and most likely to prove honourable o the possessor, and useful to society. The com- fitments parts of a dutiful character are eitsett tially gratitude, sensibility, and honour, the fear of God, and respect for men. As in youth these dispositions produce necessarily humility, sub mission, and love, so in manhood they will no less necessarily lead to a habit of self-command, of equanimity, and of justice. Aud by confirm ing and streugthing the practice of moral duties, they must unavoidably secure the happiness which results from a well tempered disposition, and the proper regulation of the passions. A. P. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, The. LORD Cus.xcr.t.Lon, recurring to the case of " Tur ner and Turner," which has been long before the Court, ob served that there seemed to him to b e s omething particularly hard in it ; and he would therefore put a question to Mr. Beanies, who bad enlightened the public upon the subject of costs, to know if there was any case in which a legatee or executor suing for himself and all other legatees, or a petitioning creditor seektng to recover for himself and all the other creditors, had been allowed costs, in default of smuts to satisfy the expense of proceeding, from the other legatees or the other creditors Y Mr. Dram ES, having taken time to make research, now In. formed the Court that he could find nu such case. _ 'The LonD CHANCELLOR thou ht. it would be a most discouraging thing. to executors and petitioning creditors, if it could be established that the other creditors to the estate were not liable in their proportions. At any. rate, it was a point which ought speedily to be determined by some rule of Court. DEER r.WAIIT). Mr. Susnwrt T. said, that Mr. Serjeant liortiriquet had re quested him to inform the Court, that since the time when he had the honour to address his Lordship upon the construction put upon a marriage legitimate for all purposes whatooever by the Old law, he had found another book, in which the exposition WAS, if possible, more clear than any which he had quoted. It was u book written about 1632, entitled The Wo man's Lawyer, supposed to hare been the work of J ust i ce Lawrence, and the extract to which he referred was to be found at page 116, as follows soon as a man and woman a ll re re b k ew nit n . i a e n i d n cofamstmlionn parlance coltjaget et colssorte s , yoke-fel low, together in bands of wedlo c k e , t h ey low, that in an even p art i c ip a tion must take all fortunes equally. Yet law permits not so great an interealluin betwixt them as society, which must always consist of two or more : rather it affirms them to be una carp, regarded to many intents merely as one individual substance.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 22. POOR RELIEF. THE KING V. ANTHONY COLLINS. Mr. SCARLETT resumed his argument, adjourned front Wednesday, on the important question raised an this case— whether overseers are justified in affording relief to the able. bodied poor in money ? He took a view of the Statutes which had passed subsequently to the Act of Elizabeth, and contend. ed that they all sheered the design of the Legislature to be, that the only relief to he dispensed to the poor who are able to work should be by the provision of labour. Mr. EAGLE followed on the same aide. Mr. Coorstn, in reply, observed that the case did not state that the overseers had not attempted to obtain work for the paupers previously to affording them relief; and that if any doubt existed as to the fact, the case should be sent back to the Sessions. It could not be insisted that the overseers were bound to find productive labour. Mr. Justice BEST-.-I cannot call that labour totally unpro ductive which prevents a man able to work from being idle. %Ir. Justice BAYLEY—IR the parish where I live, an over. seer found a hundred applications a-day for relief; he set the applicants to pound oyster.shelis, and soon diminished their number. The LORD CHI EF-JUSTICE suggested, that in many part Of the country the poor might be beneficially employed in keeping the hedges clear of weeds—a practice which it was welt known tended to prevent weeds from springing up among the corn. After some further discussion respecting the allegations in the case, it was agreed that it should be sent back to be restated, so as to contain an SCCOUIIt of the endeavours, if any, made by the overseers to provide work for the poor. Mr! Justice BAYLEY expressed his hope that this discussion would rouse overseers to exert themselves in this important part of their duty; and meet at least once a month for the pur- Eose, according to the wholesome pr o vi s i on o f t h e statut e of lizabeth, which, he feared, was too much neglected. The case being thus disposed of for the present, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, I wish that the Court may not be misunderstood in respect to any thing which has passed in this discussion. As this case is a most important one, and will probably agitate the public mind, and as I have ob. served that the proceedings of this Court arc often greatly stated by those who report them for the instruction of the pub.. lie, I wish it to be most distinctly understood that this Court has given no opinion that able-bodied men, willing to work, but not able to p rocure i t , are not entitled to relief. All the Court says is this—that it is the imperative duty of overseers and churchwardens to use all their endeavours to procure em. ployment for the poor; and this, principally, for the sake of the poor themselves, to whom it is of the highest importance that they should receive money for labour, and not for idleness, Let the case go back again, then, to the Sessions, and let the justices inform us what endeavours they have made to obtain work for the poor. Mr. Justice BEST.—I beg to add, " out of the parish as well as in it. The Lotto CHIEF JUSTICE. —What attempts they have made in any place. I t ma y b e t h at they have done nothing ; but, like too many others, have sat down in despair, instead of putting their shoulder to the wheel, and trying what might, be effected. Mr. Juseice BAYLEY.—There are many ways in which the poor may be profitably employed, as levellin g hill s and improv tog roads.—Here the subject was dropped. GAMBLING IN THE KING'S BENCH PRISON. IN THE MAl"l'Elt OD STEVICNS AND orettEus. Ten persons, tolerably well dressed, made their appearance on the floor of the Court, to answer a complaint of Mr. Jones, the Marshall. They answered, as well as we could collect, to the names of James Stevens, Edward Corbett, James Neuclier, John Bentley, Robert Augustus Kingston, John J ac ob s , Charles Godshall, P e g s Atkinson, Win. Wells, and James Bentley. The affidavit of the Marshall and three of his officers was read. Mr. Jones stated, that having reason given hint to be. litre that hazard was played till late hour* within the prison, in the rooms of James Stevens, he sent to that place between one end two o'clock in the morning °fiche 17th instant. The officers, when they reached the door, beard a rattling of dice, and, on entering, saw the party, which consisted of the ten pri. Boners, serambling for the money an the table, and attempting to get the apparatus of pl a y ou t o f right. The_Marshal believed play had been carried on for tome weeks In the same room. The COMMON SERJEANT, on behalf of Charles Godshall and five others, stated that his client Godshall had been dis. charged from the prison since the discovery; that he had an affidavit with respect to him and the others, but refrained from using it, and threw them on the mercy of the Court. Mi. A rrttnEws, for Kingston and Jacobs, said that they had only been a fortnight in the prison, and that therefore th e y could not have been long in the habit of violating the regula tion respecting play ; indeed, they were on this occasion acci. dental visitors to Stevens. CHITTY, for SteV'ens and Bendy, said he had an Oil davit which he would refrain from using; his clients expressed their sorrow for their offence, and were willing, if the Court forbore to inflict punishment on diem, to enter into a rule not again to be guilty of similar conduct, which would subject them at once to an att,tiliment if they should break it. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he appeared for the Mar shal, who had thought it his duty to bring these individuals before the Court, but who did not press for any judgment upon them with the exception of Stevens. Against hint he prayed that he might be removed to the county gaol, or confined in the strong room of the King's Bench prison. The Learned Solicitor cited authorities to show that the Court, in their dis cretion, might adopt either mode of punishment. Mr. CHITTY then put in the affidavit of Stevens, in which he swore that he did not keep a common gaming table; that that the same parties had never met at the rooms before : and that there was no gaming when the officers entered the room. The CO11110)/ SEaJEANT said, he trusted his clients would have the full benefit of this atildavit.—(A laugh.) The Loan JUSTICE said the attidavit was matti. featly evasive • It might be true in wor d s , an d yet t h e whole charge perfectly unanswered. Thcdudges then consulted for a few minutes, after which The Loan Curler dueller said, it is sow a long time since any practice of this kind has been brought betbre the Court, and therefore we hope it has only been maim. menced lately.. In this hope we now show a leniency which will not be repeated; for the practice of gaming In the prison shall be put down if it c a n b e b y t h e power of the Court.— The case of Stevens seems :bus very ditTerent indeed from that of the others; and therefore as to him we order that he be con.. tined alone in the strong room of the King's Bench prison for one month ; as to the others who tire still in prison, we timely direct that the Mu-shall allow to none of them the benefit of tire rules for one month ; and as to Charles Godshall, who has ob tained his discharge, that he enter into his own recognizance in 401. to be of goad behaviour for six months. The parties then retired.—The Court rose at half-past one. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 22. Mr. Justice PARE sat this morning at Nisi Prim in the Guildhall, London. There were only two causes in the list They were undefended, and of o no interest. The Learned Judge afterwards proceeded to Westminster, where the Court ►at in bunco. COPLAND V. POWZLL. This was an action against the Sherif of Kent for an mess sive levy under a writ of levari,faelas. At the trial (before the Lord Met Baron) it was contended for the defendant that he was entitled to notice (traction, under the Cid of (ito. IIL, and Ottat ucts relating to the assessed taxes, as being employed in " levying assessing, and collecting," such taxes. The Learn ed Judge on that occasion over-ruled she objection, but gave defendant leave to mov e to enter a nonsuit, should . the. Court differ from his decision on the point of law. A rule .was after , wards obtained to show cause why a mimic ihould not be en tered. The case was considered by the Court and this Morn. ing Mr. Justice Pang gave judgment in it. a observed, that the Court. entirely concurred with the Learned Judge who tried the cause. They were of opinion that it was not intended to include Sheriffs in the provisions ofthe acts mentioned, which were expressly confined to infeaior officers. This was accord ing to the rule mentioned by Lord Coke, in a ease in which th e Court held that the words, Deans and others having epiritual pronecion" in a particular. statute, was not intended to Include Bishops ; for it was held that if it was Intended to include Bishops, they would have been expressly mentioned, as being the superiors.—The rule must therefore be discharaed. IMITH 1.4 CARPENTER. In this case, Ml', SerjVant V AUGHAN move d f or a ra k to shew cause ly an annuity granted by the defendant in this PRICE SE VEISTPXSp E .405 - r a cue should not bout aside. It bad. -bean granted c ititCOngilie 1 ration of a sum of 1,0011. The grounds of the application were, that the whole of the consideration inentiOned In the.)ne.. modal bad not been received ; .that. theitvitatiss . :sznamed • in the memorial had not been proper 4.described,. and that!tlie plaintiff bad resorted to another security.

Now, althciogb when such circumstances did act: 1r as rendered it really necessary that the aid of this court shoull be mot ted toe.that.tualioateasetif mestic matters', 'whi c h was so N ur qua .the pence of,itrivete familits,eoulti not be it voided—yet th e aid of thie-Chtirtatita not to be resorted to, unless the facts pleaded set, up a eitssivhich, if proved, would of necessity shew that the party propellent could not continue to live with her husband tu b larAy to lw r health and person. Short o f that 'moue rf no Mete would make out such a case of rcevitia lks would entitle a party to pray for the remedy of separation. The Learned t.anerieel then atat od in succession the charges contained in 6e several artichni of the libel. The fifth article was that on Which th.i whole of the rest must stand : if that did not , avail the paieyproponent none of the other s wou ld. It alleged that on a dsy nappening in the month of December, 1819, when Lady Heim Alma* was "Seven months advanced in her pregnancy (wall her first Sir Gregory Osborne Page Turner rose from Lit eeitt etiddeoto in violent passion, and struck his with, the said Lily Tuene e , with considerable violence about the head, fece, and sock...._ Now, if this charge was true, or assuming it to b e so, for th e mere purpose of debating it — here was certainly a •verrunjus, tifiable act, as almost all acts done in a passine were. But it would not scent to have been attended with any (ail conse quences. It was a perfectly solitary act ; and ties peitien lived together nearly 3 years after the transaction e Lot nothing of the kind was stated to have taken place after wards. Lady Turner herself proved to be pregnant several times subsequeetly.; as, indeed, was mentioned in the plea. The blow itElf was not even stated to have been struck with the clinched fist ; no. extreme violence was imputed, and no indications of it rem:tined upon her face or person, as was frequently pleaded in such cases. Front the subsequent cohabitation, and the other circumstances to which he had adverted, :he Court could not suppose that this incident, therefore, unjustifiable as it might he, amounted to cruelty. In these matters, "condonation" wesnever lightly or rashly to be supposed 33 against the wife ; but ' , etch an impu tation would always apply, on the contraty, with one: 1i more strictness to the husband : yet it could never be permitted that a lady should cherish any alleged violence of this kind for abuut three years, in order to be then brought. to merket on tile first favourable, opportunity, as against her hushatel. The separation, in the present case, turned out to be entirely un connected with this allegation of cruelty, and was on her part quite volu n tary; therefore, however little the act might be to be justified, the separation wits not to be attributed to that in any way. The Leemed Counsel proceeded to object to this libel in tom, but he bud many observe. tions to make on it ; end on the Gth article he would oluterve, that it was quite irrelevaet ; for the question before the Court was, its to whether Sir G. P. Turner had been guilty of cruelty to his wife, and not to his It ith's mother. The 6th article plead ed that lie had left his wife w i t h out t h e necessary funds fir de ' fraying housekeeping expteiee„, &c., and that nee ev e ni ng i n Jan. lttal, her mteher, .'Ur ,, . Gertrude Bayfield, earnestly replotted that he would supple Lady Turner with some money -Now the Court would observe ill all the subsequent articlee that this was the gravamen oi' Lady Turner's complaint. It was quite evident, throughout, that th e dispute was about money, and that the mother had been in this way repeatedly interfering on the subject. Here was a Lady residing with her husband, a person of fortune and condition, In his town house ; and though it could trot be denied that it was quite ne cessary to provide for the exponces of that holm ) and that to neglec: it was most i n di screet and careles s , nofittng was said of the Lady's inability to provide whatever site wanted on his credit. But the subject matter of her whole complaint scented to be, that the disbursement of monies was not entrusted to her. The 7th article was more distinct and important- It re lined to the appointment by Sir Gregory Page Purser, of one Kirby to be his agent; to the visit paid by Sir Gregory and his Lady to Worthing; taut to the fact of lately Turner's being there left with her family without any pecuniary supply what. ever. Here neither this circumstance, nor the execution rob seetently put into the house by creditors, proved ageinst the hos baud more thence trente mrelessness t they by nomeansamoubted to cruelty. As to the statement in titt fith article, that althotegh this lady conducted her house affeirs with the utmost prudence and economy; yet Sir Gregory oleic the whole management of them out of her hands, leaving her no money whatever ; why, the husband must always be the best, if. not the only, judger upon that question of prudent management. Thie motet was quite irrelevant. It was further pleaded, that while uhe was thus deprived, Sir Gregory continued to purchase' antiques, pictures, and other wetly articles of that kind, to gratify his own taste and inclinations. Why, by law, the hoehenti had the power of the purse; if he chose to gratify his taste in this way, his large fortune and hie station molly pave hint an ample title to do tot ; anti if he preferred, Mewed of layinghis bills, to go upon credit with his tradextnen, there could be no netensity for this lady to be supplied with the motley neces sary for those disbursements. It was charged, moreover, that one evening in 3atmery, 11121, shortly after Sir Gregory had purchased a large quantity of play-bills nettle sale of the late John Philip Kernble's effects. for which be had 14;41 a large suns of motley, Mrs. Hayfield, Lady Tuner's stouter, spoke of it to him in the mildest warmer, regretting his tooling peid so large a sum of mo ne y f or suc h a ourpoottoat a time when he had eilvanced so hurls to his lady for matters of indispensehlo tweets:icy in his family.
