FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS (From the Moniteur of Wednesday, Nov. 19. ) PARIS, Nov. 18.—A telegraphic despatch from Toulon announces that the Loiret, from Patras, has arrived with despatches. Admiral de Rigny reports that the Castle of the Morea surrendered on the 30th of O ctober, after having been cannonaded for four hours, and that the Morea is entirely evacuated. M. de Rigny also announces that each ship had erected a battery on shore, to reduce the fort. (From the Gazette de France, Nov. 20.) TRIESTE, Nov. 7.--A 'letter from Corfu, of the 24th of October, announces that on the news of the occupation of Patras by the French, the popu lace of Prevesa had surrounded and threatened the residences of the foreign Consuls; but that no acci dent had happened., A letter from Ancona, of the 29th, says, that by the arrival of an English brig, news had been re ceived at Corfu, that Mr: Stratford Canning, who had been before authorised by his Government to take part in the conferences at Corfu and Poros, had suddenly separated from his colleagues, after having received despatches from London. This news seems to be in great want of confirmation, for all the letters received direct from Corfu, are wholly silent on the subject. (From the Messager des Chambres, Nov. 19.) SEMLIN, NOV. 2.—On the 22d October a Jewish merchant, who was usually charged with the com missions of the Pacha, was arrested and thrown into the dungeon of the citadel. There are various con jectures respecting the cause of this measure. Some affirm that he has been the medium of a correspond ence between the Prince of the Servians and the Russian Governor-General of the two Principalities. Others think that amidst all the indiscreet language which is daily held here upon public affairs, the events of the war, and the most important interestsof the Go- 1 vernment, the Pacha has thought it prudent to secure a man who is in possession of all his secrets, were it only to give a salutary warning to the crowd of busy bodies, who talk of every thing, meddle with every thing, and endeavour to throw every thing into con fusion. It is certain that we no longer perceive any trace of that satisfaction which was displayed in the countenances of the persons of the Pacha's household but a short time ago, and that the Turks were informed several days ago of the surrender of Varna, which the Christian portion of the popula tion of Semlin did not learn till yesterday, by letters from Varna and the Austrian. Observer. As is usual upon reverses of fortune, the songs of triumph, which were echoed from Belgrade to us, have been succeeded by the most gloomy reports of the incalculable losses of the Turks on thiS occasion —on their desperate condition,, and the mortal blow which this event must,give,to the Ottoman Power, eves; in the heart of the Empire. The Turks no longer deceive themselves fart its, possible= results and the proof of this is foUnd in the extreme. ac tivity displayed by the Pasha of Belgrade in fur nishing all the supplies of arms, ammu nition, leather, provisions, and, ilc short, all the necessaries which are required is: the army, and which he forwards with all pos sible despatch. He makes contracts, pays ready money, and does every thing in his power to form very considerable magazines; according to the wish of the Sultan, who had given him orders to that ef fect, without imposing on him any restrictions re specting the prices, which circumstances have caused to rise considerably; that of arms remains extremely high, and yet large orders are given. In general the Turks are parsimonious, the Governmeut espe cially is even miserly in its purchases, and will have every thing at the lowest price. It is only on occa sions like the present crisis that it departs so far from its usual conduct in this respect, that the offers which it now makes almost seem liberal. The navigation from Semlin to Widdin has been extremely active, and almost uninterrupted ; but an order has just been published at Widdin and Or sowa for every , lonfhld - ',,lletweforth military escort,,which makes - supposed that •the' Russians have been reinforced in Little Wallachia, and may easily approach the.

On the afternocn of Saturday last, the 15th inst., while the farming labourers in the service of Sir William B. Cooke, Bart., of Wheatley, near this place, were digging a trench round a pie of mange) wurzel, in the stack-yard at the Wheatley farm, they threw up a human skull, which had been lying at the depth of about twelve inches. The spade of Jacques, one of the labourers, broke the skull in pieces, and part of it was thrown upon the mange] wurzel, before they ascertained what it was. The labourers, however, immediately' on discovering that it was a human skull, desisted from completing their Work. It. will doubtless be in the recollection of many of our readers, that since the 22d Jan. 1822, Mr. J. Wood, of the Intax Farm, near the race-ground, has been missing. About 10 o'clock-on the evening of that day, he was returning from Wheatley, in company, as far as the park style, with two of Sir Wm. B. Cooke's servants, and a tradesman of Don ester—the, latter three then walking together to Dot; caster,- and Mr. J. Wood turnincr to the left, t o wards Green Hous e , on hi s way home, which he never re i ted The discovery of th e sk e l eton i n t h e stac k-y ar d at the Wheatley farm, in conn ect i on w i t h t h e re membrance of the sudden di sappearance of Wood, excited intense interest; and on,,- the following morning a considerable number , of people were attracted to the-spot, which is not distant more than -a hundred yards from the farmer's house. In the f ore noon Mr. Justice W alker, as Deputy ma y or, Mi. Justice Branson, Mr. Fisher, Town Clerk, &c., proceeded to the place, where the skull had been discovered; and in the presence of these gentlemen, and of Dr. Chorley, of Green House, and Moack, Esq., part of the mange! wurzel pie, which had been placed over they ower extremities of the skeleton, was removed; d after the e arth had been cleared away, to the depth hs, o about tw e lv e and abowlvere e inches, the bones of the legs, g hips, Tresented to view. it appears that the body had not been, when buried,. laid at full length, from the facts, that one rib w as .discovered lying over the pelvis, and from the distance Pf the apex of the skull to the hip bones being only eighteen inches. A Jury, from the sur rounding spectators, was immediately sworn ; and on the succeeding day, a east of the bones was taken by Mr. J. Lockwood. That they are the bones of a male skeleton, and of a middle aged man, is evident, from the thickness of the laminae of the skull; from the texture of the bones generally ; from the strong impressions made upon them for the passage of the tendons; and from the magnitude of their protube rances, as well as from the narrow appearance of the pelvis. They are, it is true, much decomposed ; but the decomposition must have been considerably accelerated by their lying, in a light porous•soi,l, so near the surface. Not a vesti g e of wearing apparel was visible.—Doncaster Gazette.

The bones of " poor Chung" arc likely to find a resting place on the spot where be met his death. The skeleton, which had been purchased by an inhabitant of Manchester, is now on its way to London, and 7611 is a few days occupy the den at Exeter 'Change in which the living Chony excited so much curiosity. We in to direct the attention of that most influential and enlightened body, the Clergy of the Established Church, to the admirable address of Lord DARNLEY to the Clergy . of the diocese of Rochester. That address is couched, as his Lordship very truly says, in the spirit of Christian charity and neighbourly kindness, breathing good will to all, while it asserts a due sense of that manly independence which characterises his Lord ship's public and private conduct. We could enlarge upon this topic with great pleasure, but as we find the subject so a bl y adverted to by a spirited and impartial contemporary—the Kent copy his obs ervat i ons in preference to making ax~y co mments of o ur own. The Kent Herald inserts dship' hi s Lor s add ress , an d then says : " We feel much pleasure in the insertioa of the above letter, so creditable to the feelings and character of its noble Author. It is only the pressure of matter in oar narrow limits that bra prevented us from remarking more at length on the illiberal treatment experienc ed b y the Noble Eat We are at a loss to understand the reason for the clam our direeted against him as. an Irish Landlord. Surely it was not only natural hut just that his Lordship should stand up in defame of his own injured tenantiy,—men whom I)is Lordship verily believes are in every way as w orth y to enjoy their civil liberty as bis lti.entish tenantry. Was it not ra thernroct of duty, when he beard them branded as worth less beings, and incapable of bearing taw allegiance to their King and country. Men whose sons fell at Waterloo —me n who have ever been found honest in all their dealings as tenanta.....tue,u who have been as ready to come forward as volunteers in defence of Ireland, as his Kentish tenantry were to the ranks of bis yeomanry squadron at Cobham. — Where can you find a Brunswick Lord who has proved himself a firmer supporter of the State: now, as for his cnmity to the State, it is well known that Lord parnley erected at his own individual expence the handsome church at Sandgate, and gave it for ever to the inhabitants of that place. He comes nobly forward, and lays down his 1,0001. to build a place of divine worship, and does not wait till called upon, and unwillingly subscribe five or ten pounds to have it sounded through half a dozen advertisements, like the noisy Brunswiekers. No, his Lordship is magnificent and liberal in all things. It matters not to him whether it is to glorify his Maker—to feed and clothe the poor—assist a friend in distress—or to do justice to a warm-hearted and injured people. He has shown himself a worthy Christian —a charitable man—and a good, liberal, and just land lord. Blush, ye Brunswickers, for your calumnies on such a man. It speaks highly for the generous spirit of this country that freedom is not more its na tional characteristic than charity. On every side we behold the noble sympathy of the people express itself in donations to the Spanish, Portuguese, arid Italian e xiles—those m en , whose only fault, if fault it be, is to show their patriotism by an excessive devotion to the cause of liberty and the independence of their country. They who were once the pride and ornament of their native land, are now reduced to the neces sity of receiving the bare means of support from the hands of the stranger Englishmen, secure in their own unassailable liberty, and blest with happy, because secure, homes, can form no adequate idea of the miseries incidental to Foreign States. But their humanity is far supe rior to their sense of personal inquietude— they feel for the Exile with a brother's love, and readily stretch out the hand of aid to uphold the sinking spirits of those who have trusted to their kindness by seeking the pro tection of Freemen. The British Government actuated, no doubt, by motives of policy, is rather insensible to the voice of humanity, so far as the distresses of the exiles are con cerned, but the lukewarmness of the Govern ment is sure to be more than compensated by the generous alacrity of the people. The LORD MAYOR steps forward in this good cause with a generosity well worthy the Chief Magis trate of a powerful and commercial nation, and his example is likely to be followed iii the metro polis by many other public bodies arid institutions. That enlightened society, the City of London Literary and Scientific Institution, with a spirit highly creditable to the patriotic feelings of its members, has resolved, at a meeting held last night, to get up a Concert at the Theatre of the Institution, in behalf of the Spanish and Italian Refugees. The LORD MAYOR is, we under stand, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Institu tion, and will no doubt be highly gratified at finding his own benevolent views so charitably followed up by that liberal and enlightened body. The theatre is one of the best music rooms in the metropolis, and will no doubt afford great delight to those who befriend the exile by their presence. The LORD MAYOR will of course, honour the concert by his best endeavours and distinguished patronage. SIIIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1828, German Papers, of the 15th inst., have been received this morning. Prussian Officers, re turned to Berlin from the theatre of war, say that it was never the intention of the Russians to finish the war in one campaign. It may not now have been their intention, but we have no doubt they . fully expected it at the outset of the war. The army is to go into winter quarters, and by next campaign will be well inured to the climate. If another campaign really takes place, the war will not only be worth seeing, but hear. i ng out. Varna was a forlorn hope to the Russians, and must next campaign advance their operations full two months BERLIN, NOV. R. By the officers who have returned from the theatre of war, and particularly General Von Nostitz, we have received more circumstantial details of the hitt& events of this campaign. The Russians never had the intention of terminating the war in one campaign ; they were from the first prepared for two, and all their measures were taken accordingly. In Frai:,ce people applied to this war the standard of Napoleon's campaigns; and others, with too great precipitation, believed what never was thought of in Russia. As a winter campaign is impossible, the "traope win go-into winter quarters :in-the , principall ties, but the siege of Silistria will be Confirmed. The report of the fall of that fortress, which was cireulated some days ago on 'Change, appears to be unfounded. The Russian guards will return to Bessarabia. All fhp Prussian officers who have re turned from the army agree in opinion that Varna, in its present state, will be of more use to the RusSians as a port than as a fortress. _ _ Tha affairs of the Estates of South Prussia seem to be in a. fair way of being arranged. Prince Sul kowski, the Chief President Baumann, who has just received patents of nobik, and the Archbishop of Posen and Gnesen, are here for that purpose. It is hoped that, by the measures that will be adopted, every thing will be arranged to the Wis. faction of the Prince. VIENNA, Nov. 10.—Metalliques 95 3-16; Bank Shares 1085. DUSSELDORFF, NOV. 11.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. MOUNTFORD V. FONTEN. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that be had read the Bill and depositions in this case, with g reat at tention, and he felt that he should not be justified in staying the proceedings. If, however, it met with the approbation of the parties, his appoint Lordship an early day for the hearing of the cause. Mr. TEED said, his client would be most thank ful to the Court for such indulgence. His LORDSHIP then appointed the first day of causes after term. A gentleman behind the Bar applied for the ad vance of an appeal OR bankruptcy, under the following circumstance :—A creditor who had two debts due from the bankrupt, had proved one under his com mission and brought an action, and arrested the bankrupt for the other. The bankrupt had pre sented a petition, praying that proceedings might be stayed. Upon the matter coining on before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, his Honour was of opinion that the proceedings under the action should be stayed; the creditor appealed from that decision, and it was that appeal which the Learned Counsel now sought to have advanced. The bankrupt was a foreigner, and had an opportu nity now of entering into business again for himself; in the course of that business it would be necessary for him to visit foreign parts, and he was therefore anxious the matter should be heard as soon as possible. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that he thought he could put an end to the necessity of this applica tion, as it was his intention to make some arrange ments shortly with respect to bankrupt petitions, which would enable the Learned Counsel to bring on his matter on an early day. The LEARNED GENTLEMAN said, under such cir cnmstances be should not press his application further. IN RE CHIPPING SODBURY. Mr.' PEPYS replied to-day in this case; after which,. MIS LORDSHIP requested to be furnished with the necessary papers. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. ABSENCE OF COUNSEL. The VICE-CHANCELLOR came into Court to=day at ten o'clock, the usual hour, and disposed of a few motions made by gentlemen behind the Bar. The bags of the King's Counsel were in attendance, and several briefs were lying before seats usually occu pied by them, but the Learned Gentlemen them selves were absent. The Vice-Chancellor, after wait ing for some minutes, during which he looked often at the clock, left the Court, intimating at the same time his intention to return shortly. Coun sel, however, did not shortly make their appearance, and this circumstance it was, perhaps, which induced his Honour not to return until three o'clock, when he was to hear some unopposed bankrupt petitions. Some time after his Honour's departure. was known, some King's Counsel came into Court, with the in tention of making motions (this being seal-day), and appeared much surprised that the Judge had not re mained on the bench or in attendance until they should be ready to commence business. Several important motions were expected to have come on to-day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. TRIAL AT BAR. ROWE V. lIIRRNTON'. The documentary evidence is still being adduced and read in support of the King's title to the mine in question. The title is now traced down to 1810, when a lease was granted by the Crown for property in the manor of Tewington. The Counsel for the defence then called Stephen Pierce, aged 74 years, whose father had been toll collector for the Duchy lands ; witness had assisted him in collecting toll, and had taken toll from copper ore from the manors. Mr. BROUGHAM here contended that it was im perative on the defendant to show that the toll for copper was collected particularly in the manor of Tewington, and that without a distinct similarity of custom was proved between Tewington and other manors, the evidence of custom in those other manors would not be legally received as evidence concerning the manor of Tewington. The Learned Gentleman was urging his objection when we went to press. The cause is expected to last the whole of the term. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (SITTINGS AT NISI PAWS.) BOWLES V. HAUSER. The Court was occupied the whole of the morn ing in the trial of this case. It is an issue from the Court of Chancery, and is of no public interest. PREROGATIVE COURT. NOKES V. NOKES. Dr. ADAMS said, in this case the testatrix, who at the time of her death was a widow, left behind her, in her own hand-writing, a most singularly worded document, which she styled her last will and testament. It was worded in that particular manner that the Learned Counsel thought it must be referred to a Court of Construction, as it was not alleged that the testatrix was of insane mind. She desired, in case she died before Mrs. Priest, that the money that that lady might leave her should be divided amongst her cousins; when the fact was, there was no probability of her receiving any from that source. She also directed 1401. to be paid to her nephew, Robert Nokes, on his arriving at the age of 21, but particularly requested her executors (although none were named) not to invest it in the Saving Banks, as she did not like that establishment; but to put it into the Stocks. In fact, the document was one of such an extraordinary character, that he did not think the Court could even treat it as a will. Sir NlctroLL thought the proper mode in such a case would be to grant administration to the bro ther of the deceased, as the only next of kin, with this paper annexed. Then, if necessary, it might be again brought under the consideration of the Court, by the parties interested. MANCHESTER SMITHFIEI4).—Nov. 19.

The Corporation on the other hand are satisfied with the recognizances, and the Attorney-General being of opinion that the rights of both parties are well-founded, has waived all claim on the part of the Crown. The fines amount only to 181., and the Corporation were now desirous of getting the rest of the money into their hands. The COURT ordered the Remembrancer to hand over the money to the Corporation, upon the At torney-General appearing in person to consent, and upon the production of a proper consent from the Bishop of Bath and Wells. CUMULATIVE PENALTIES. THE ICING V. BUCKLAND. This was an information against the defendant, a tallow-chandler, residing at Camberwell, for manu facturing candles without having given due notice to the excise officers, and also for concealing candles after they were manufactured by him. He was con victed on both counts,and the question now submitted to consideration was, whether the two counts and the separate penalties sought to be inflicted under each count were not substantially for one and the same offence, namely, for that of manufacturing the can dles without due notice. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. JERVIS, and Mr. WALTON were heard for the Crown, and contended that in this case there had been a concealment after the manufacture, which constituted'a distinct and se parate offence. The latter Learned Gentleman argued that the mere fact of keeping the candles, which had not been charged the excise duty, was in itself an offence, and still more that it was an offence in this instance, where the defendant or one of his servants had blown out the candle in the room where the candles were lying. Mr. JERvts, for the defendant, said that that was a most important public question, and that the Crown were here seeking cumulative penalties for one and the same offence. He admitted that the candles had been illegally manufactured, but further than that there was no concealment. If the Crown, therefore, established its right to the two penalties, the case would go the length of deciding, that wherever there was an illegal manufacture, there must necessarily be a second offence, that of concealment. The COURT, thinking the question of great impor tance, took time to consider their judgment. TILE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GAR There was a good supply a a sluggish trade ; prices as or s. d. s. d.
