EARTHQUAKES. GENOA, Auo.27.—Yesterday morning, at 20 minutes past five o'clock, a shock of an earth quake was felt here, which was sufficiently vio lent to spread consternation among the persons inhabiting the upper stories, in which the motion vas much more perceptible. Its duration was five or six seconds. We have not learned that it did 4tty damage whatever, nor was it accom panied with any variation of the thermometer or the barometer. ASTERSBURGII, AUG. 9.—On the 2d of last month there, was a smart shock of an earthquake at FaWiokrsk, in the Government of .Slroronesch ; it was accompanied by a subterraneous noise, re sembling a distant cannonade. The river Don was violently agitated as if by a storm. All the furniture, in the houses on the other side of the river was moved. THE LATE HONOURABLE JOHN ADAM. In our Paper of-Wednesday last we announced the death of Mr.ADAIt, Who was returning from Bengal to his native country on board the ship Albion. We have now the satisfaction of . laying before the Public a unanimous resolution of • the Court of Directors of that day, recording the high wise which they entertain of the services of that lamented gentleman. This resolution becomes doubly valdable from the promptitude with which it has been adopted, and it cannot fail to be a source of melancholy gratification to his surviving relatives and friendi. At a Court of Directors, held on Wednesday the 14th Sep --- - tember, 1825, Resolved unanimously,—That this Court, having received the melancholy intelligence of the death of Sir. John Adam, on his passage from India to this country, desire to record, in the strongest terms, their deep sense of his exemplary integrity, distinguished ability, and indefatigable zeal in the service of the East India Company, during a period of nearly thirty years, in tho course of which, after filling the highest offices under the Bengal (iiovernment, he was more than six years a Member of the Supreme Council, and held during some months of that time the station of Governor-General. • And that the Court most sincerely participate in the sorrow which must be felt by his relations and friends on this lamented -event. From the important services which this distin guished individual has rendered to his country and the East India Company, we shall shortly pre sent to our Readers a biographical sketch of his Public life. FATAL . DUEL. ( From ilic 2C.,ze Times.) We lament to say that we have just received, from Chester, the account of a fatal rencontre, in which an amiable young Nobleman in that neigh bourhood is stated to have been concerned. The following is our Correspondent's communica tion : " CHESTER, SEPT. 13.—1 had intended a communication of a very different kind, but a most dreadful event has hap pened at Eaton, and I shall but just have time to mention it before.. post .hour. Mr. Hall, which is a scene of dreadful confusion and dismay. The Whole of the Grosvenor family are in the deepest affliction. I have just gathered the following particulars, but the catastrophe ..i.kalat yet public : " You'll recollect that, a short time since, a fracas took place at a ball in this city, between the Master of the Ceremonies, Lord Belgrave, and others, on the one part, and sonic Irish Gentlemen on the other, which, it appears, has never been arranged. About Saturday last three strange Irish Gentlemen arrived at the hotel, with a splendid equipage and many ser vants ;_ but they were not declared, and a kind of mystery hung ever them. On Monday they visited Eaton Hall, and were freely admitted through the house, gardens, &c. In the gars dens, meeting with the two Ladies Grey, one of the Gentlemen, Who seemed rather inferior to tile others, grossly insulted the Ladies, and they then retired, leaving their address with the porter. " Lord Belgrave sought them at the hotel, and one of them -offered satisfaction. A meeting took place ; but, in consequence •of something said by Lord Belgrave's opponent directly before firing, Lord B. fired in the air, and the other declined 'firing. It appears that afterwards a correspondence took place, and one of them (a man of Irish title), challenged Lord B. who met him this afternoon. The result is, that Lard B. is slightly Wounded, and the Irish Nobleman is shot through the abdo men, and, the surgeons say, can't recover. I have only time to say that it is connected with the city ball business. " P.S.—I have just learnt that the two seconds are arrested; and Lord Belgrave is in a more dangerous state than at first supposed." • MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SEPT. 15. .PAII.ILEIT. v. TILE CONVICTION OF - BENNET, ESQ. AND ANOTHER • This was an appeal front the decision of the Magistrates of Worship-street, who convicted the appellant in the penalty of -201. under the statute of 17 Geo. 111., chap. 56, for having a quantity of raw silk in his possession without being able to give a satisfactory account of the manner in which he hack obtained it. The above statute was passed in consequence of the dif. 'fic.ilty, amounting almost- to impossibility, of identifying raw silk and other similar articles, when found in the possession of parsons supposed to have received them with a knowledge of •their having been stolen. As soon as the Counsel for the prosecution had opened the case, the Counsel on the other side took a technical objection to 'the form of the conviction; which, after considerable diarcus. *ion, was overruled by the Bench. Witnesses were then called, from whose testimony it ap peared that in consequence of information lodged with the Magistrates of Worship-street, Vann and another officer of .that Office, proceeded to the house of the appellant, who was by trade a silk trimming-weaver, residing in Bethnal-green, and upop searching his premises they discovered the silk and bobbins now produced, consisting of an immense quantity of •that commodity, of various colours and descriptions; some of which were described to he in a different state of preparation from that necessary for their being used in thQ manufacture .of trimming. The names on the bobbins (it is usual for the ownsrs to have their names stamped upon them) on which the -silk was wound were burned out, and other circumstances of suspicion attend the appellant's possession of it. While the officers Were there, they detected a woman coining into the house with some the same kind of silk in a cap in her pocket, upon which, after giving some indirect account of the circum sttance, she admitted that she was going to raise money. 'Phis, silk turned out to be part of that which had been given to her to wind for her employer, Mr. Wilson. A number of witnesses appear ld ed for silk at the appellant, som imes,e of whom swore to their having so him different t which they could not now identify ; others that they had dyed silk for him, similar in colour to part of that now produced ; and others that the silk produced was in a fit, state for being used in . the manufacture of trimming. The latter witnesses, however, were not themselves in that branch of the trade, and none of them were produced at the police office, although the appellant had had five days to prepare for his defence before he was con victAtd. He called no witnesses to character. The Bench unanimously confirmed tl.e conviction, with costa.

OLD BAlLEY.—(Tfrins DA T.) MURDER IN ST. GILES'S. • Patrick Wekh, aged 26, and Ellen Lyons, aged 24, were charged on the Coroner's Inqui sition with the wilful murder of Mary the wife of the prisoner Welch in June last. Mr. ANDREWS stated the case to the Jury, and described the murder as one of an atrocious and horrible kind. Mary Donovan, examined by Mr. CaEssw ELL, stated that she is a married woman, and resides in Church-street, St. Giles's. • Knew the deceased, she was married to the male pri soner in Ireland about six years since; witness had known her for fifteen years, before that they lived also in Church street, S!. Giles's, seemingly happy and comfortable ; five months since the female prisoner came from Ireland ; she was in the relationship of first-cousin to the deceased, and went and lived .with them; they subsequently removed to Little Turnstyle, Holborn ; she was unwell before that time; witness did not know the nature of her complaint, but said her head was very bad ; heard somebody say she was deranged, but did not think so, . She told witness. that she was jealons of the female prisoner; and wanted to go back to her lodgings in Church street, witness told the male prisoner, and he begged her not to mind it, as she did not know what she was saying. This was in June laSt., _and the very evening she died. A day or two after, witness heard of the death, and . went to the place and helped the fentale prisoner and Mrs. Coghlan to wash the body. Witness found a cut on the head, and asked Lyons how it happened, she replied that deceased fell down stairs on the previous Sunday. Witness refused to wash her any farther until she saw the husband; the prisoner Lyons re fused to remove the head higher up on the pillow, and kepi her hand on the back of the head. The prisoner Welch came in soon after, and on being asked by witness how it happened, he said she fell down stains,- and in attempting to carry her up again she fell back against the tiles, a heap of which he said had lain on one side the door. Witness finished washing the body and cut off the hair, and perceived a large cut on the back part of the head, with a piec'e of lint laid in it : the hair was clotted with blood ; the witness also found marks of flour rubbed on the bed. Witness was also present when the searchers arrived, and the female prisoner Lyons said the decased had been a long time ill, but she did not know with what ; she did not shew the cut on the head. Oti the Sunday the deceased was to be buried, but Mr. Kennedy prevented the funeral taking place. Welch then said, he (Kennedy) had no business to prevent his bury- . • _ in g his wife. . • Cross-examined by Mr. BARRY—They lived very happily together. I have known the male prisoner five years; the maiden name of the deceased was Mary Connell. l don't know that it is the custom to bury wives in Ireland in their maiden name, which they sometimes use after marriage. It is not un common to bury a day or two after the decease, but that is not the custom here. Margaret Coghlan deposed to the same effect. James Stack stated he was on Sunday the 28th June in his company between _three or four o'clock ; this was the Sunday before his wife died. He was in liquoi. Witness drank with him and went to his lodgings to see the deceased, whom he said was very bad ; the deceased was in bed very ill indeed ; 'Welch,' the prisoner, walked part of the wayhome with him; on the way he remarked that lie was afraid Ellen Lyon was pregnant by him. Witness on the following Saturday attended the Wake; had not heard them say the deceased had any wound on the head, only that she fell down stairs and was hurt. Cross-examined.—Prisoner did not tell the witness at any other time of the accident. James Ilodge is a carpenter, and in the employ of Mr. Thomas, of Bloomsbury, where the prisoner 'Welch also worked. On the 28th of June, which was on a Tuesday, he asked witness if he was afraid to go and see a sick person ; witness said he was not, and went with him into his room, where he saw a woman, whom he described to be his sister, lying on her back. The risoner took hold of the left hand, which was clenche and opened it, but it closed again. Witness asked him if she had any medical aid, he replied -in the affirmative, that. Mrs. Thomas's Doctor had attended her. He had told witness upon a former occasion that his master had advanced him money with which he had sent his wife to Ireland. He did not attempt to account for her illness. Witness afterwards informed him that he had mentioned it to their master, upon which pri soner said he had himself mentioned it to his master, who talked of coming to see her. Witness ce - r tainly saw tiles at the foot -of the staircase; the house was under repair. On the Friday afterwards the witness was in the house, and heard a noise in the prisoner's room. lie asked the reason, and he said it was a noise among the people who had found a scratch on his wife's pate. He also said they talked or sending for a constable, because they found some flour. He then told witness that on the previous Sunday he was carrying her up stairs when by some accident she stumbled and they both fell she falling against the' tiles cut her head, or as he called it " Pate." The witness had previously examined the tiles and found some broken, but none were bloody. The prisoner said his sister had, when dying, expressed a wish that he should follow her to the grave, as he was her only friend, her husband being abroad. Witness did not then know the deceased woman was the prisoner's wife ; he had asked the pri soner whether she was a married woman, and he said " Yes, but had parted from her husband." The case was proceeding when our Paper went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. DEPRAVITY OF PARENTS. - - MARLBORO U on-STREET.—.Yeliterday James Warner, a tailor, and Eleanor, his wife, who have been several days in cu stody upon a charge of starving and otherwise ill-treating the daughter of the male prisoner, a girl about fifteen years of age, and instigating her to commit various acts of felony, were brought up for final examination.—The girl, who is very intel ligent for her age, repeated her former , statements respecting the prisoners' conduct towards her. She savelaUticular evi dence as to one robbery she had committed in the shop of Mr. Shoolbred, a linen-draper, in Tottenham-court-road.— The pawnbrokers with whom she had pledged the goods atunded and confirmed her testimony ; but neither Mr. Shoolbred nor his shopman could identify the articles stolen.— The Magistrate said, tliat the prisoners had very narrowly escaped the charge of felony for the present ; but for their bar barous and inhuman treatment of the child, of Which there was "abundant proof, they could be indicted by the parish, and he wou!d take good care that they should be, as far as his repre sentation went, unless they promised to give the child entirely up to the aunt, who was very properly inclined to save her from ruin, and engage never to go near or interfere with either of thew. The indictment would still be hanging over the pri soners, and the moment that he (the Magistrate) should hear of their again molesting the girl, that nionient he would apply to the parish to indict them.—The prisoners promised they never would ; and, on this understanding, they were dis charged, and the little girl given up to her aunt. APPREHENSION OF " MOTHER TURPIN." Q TIE EN-3(IU ARE.—The mother of John Turpin, the burglar, who is sentenced to transportation for life, was brought before the Magistrates, for having purchased a clock from a boy which he had stolen from his father. Sullivan stated, that un fortunately.far him, his two sons, boys about 12 or 13 years of age, hadjoined a gang of juvenile thieves, and their depreda tions were very extensive. One of his boys, a short time since, obtained a situation in the family of Mr. Holt, surgeon, and was there but a few days when he robbed the house of a quantity of plate, which had never been found. and he had since learned that it had been taken to Turpin s, where it was purchased, and the gang shared the spoil. That boy is now in the Marine Society. His other boy, John Sulli van, is just as bad as his brother, and all endeavours to reclaim him proved ineffectual. His inclination for stealing was so great, that he never went into a house without indulging this propensity, for which he always found a market at the furpins'. On Monday last, during the absence of himself and his wife from home, his son obtained the key of the room, and stole a new clock, which cost 2/. 6s. The boy admitted that he sold it to Mrs. Turpin for 3s. He (Sullivan) and a man named Welch, called on Mrs. Turpin, who at first denied having purchased the clock, but at length she admitted it, and called the boy a rascal for telling her that he had found it on the step of a door. Mrs. Turpin said the clock was not in htr house, but her son offered Sullival U. to settle it. It fur ther appeared that another boy accompanied young Sullivan when he sold the clock, but Mrs. Turpin sent him out of the non when she paid him the money, and in order that be might be also examined, Mrs. Turpin and young Sullivan were re manded. We hear from Lodove that a little girl, about six or seven years old, has lost her reason, in con sequence of penance imposed upon her by one of the sisters named Nevers, who conducts the school of that city.—(French Paper.) Yesterday was the anniversary of the first bul loon ascent in this country, which was made by LUNARDI in 1784, when he rose at the Artillery Ground, agd descended at Ware, in lle..tford. shire. THE SUN. BOLEN QUIS DICERE FALVIN AUDEAT ..,2 LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1625. The. French Papers of Tuesday contain fur ther statements in reference to the submission of the Greek Government to England, and the conduct of Commodore HAMILTON, our Naval Commandant in the Levant, upon that occasion. Extracts from these Journals will be found else where. The offers said to have been made by the Commodore to the Greeks,and upon the strength of which it is further alleged, that the Protectorate of England was chosen in preference to that of France, are of such a nature as to warrant us in saying the statement is without foundation, and yet, notwithatanding thus evident discrepancy, the French Journalists are eager to prove the interest they have taken in Greek affairs, and the assistance they have rendered them in the present war. This is done with a view of sheaving how much wiser the Greek Govern ment had been, if it had selected France for the protecting State. To which of, the two States Greece is at present most indebted, it is not for us to determine ; in our eyes, however, she has not much to be thankful for from either party. But in the choice of a protecting State, many reasons concur for giving it to England. The Naval ascendancy of the British Islands, is alone sufficient to decide the question, because scattered as the Grecian Islands are in the Ar chipelago, it is plain the protecting State (if ;Ai efficient protection is required—or if, indeed, It is to be any thing but a name), must have a very powerful Marine, or otherwise the more distant parts of Greece would be left in an unde fended condition. The Frankfort Papers to the 9th September duly came to hand to-day ; their contents are perfectly unimportant. We have, however, se lected one paragraph, under date 7th September, Augsburg!), which in some measure Confirms the account of the 'rising of the inhabitants of Livadia against the SI:RAS:LIEU, after his defeat before Missolongbi, and in his subsequent retreat. By this account we learn that the troops from Thessaly and Negropont assembled at Ledoviki and Salona had effected a junction with the garrison of Mis sblonghi, which thus reinforced made a sally, and compelled the besieging army to retire to Vra dare, otherwise Uraichore, a town upon the left bank of tbe Aspro, and 25 miles W. N. W. of Lepanto : AUGSB.LTRG, SEPT. 7. The news from Western Greece which we have received to day by the post, is in substance as follows :—A Greek corps, which after halting gained - some advantages over the Turkish troops from Thessaly and Negropont, bad assembled at Lido viki and Salona, suddenly quitted those positions and marched to Kosinia ; thence it took the road to illissolonghi, where it effected its junction with the garrison of that place, which had just repulsed a third attack made by Redschid Pacha. The Greeks thus. reinforced, sallied out of the town; and pursued the Seraskier, who was forced to retreat to Vrachire. Several of the Capita' Pacha's frigates and corvettes, which bad taken refuge in the gulf of Lepanto, have been burnt by the Greek fire ships. ,The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 9th instant was received this morning. It does not contain a word of political intelligence. The a ccount of the race between English and Cossack horses, in an other part of our Paper, was extracted from this Journal. The sporting world will be pleased to hear that the issue of this 'race was favour able to the English breed, which has so wounded the pride of .the Russians, that they seek to ex cuse the failure by representing the indifference with which General Oar.ow DENISSOU, the owner of the Cossack horses, regarded the event. This extreme indifference may be the more easily estimated when it is added that twenty-live thousand rubles was the prize run for. Another trial is spoken of, when the Cossacks from the Don expect to retrieve their character. The first race, however, was so decidedly in fa. your of the English horse that we should hope there was little ground to fear an unfavourable lissue upon this second trial. Letters from Rio de Janeiro, dated I►oth July, announce the - arrival at that place of Sir CuARLEs STUART on the 17th, on board his Nlajesty's ship the Wellesley, from Lisbon. He was re ceived in the manner due to the high functions he is called upon to fulfil, and it is expected his mission will have a favourable termination. Sir CHARLES was attended by six Secretaries of Le gation. These letters refer to the transactions now passing in Monte Video, but their statements are not of so late a date as that received from Buenos Ayres, and which has been previously published. The exchange had fallen to 5-1, owing to the capricious conduct of the Government in renewing the prohibition, which had been re cently removed, of the exportation of specie to the northern ports. The motive is understood to be that of obtaining the remittances on account of the loan concluded in London on more ad vantageous terms. These variations in the ex change caused great inconvenience to the mer chants, who very freely express their indignation at the proceedings of the Government. Jamaica Papers to the 26th July and Colom bia to the 26th June are arrived, but they con tain no news. Extract of a Letter from Irun, Sept. 5. " After seven or eight days' discussion between the Members of the Deputies of this province residing at St. Sebastian and our local Authori ties, the disarmment of the Royalist volunteers took place this day. A detachment of militia has been sent to Tortosa, in which place they have arrested the Members of the- Municipality, and sent them to St. Sebastian, after which the Royalist volunteers were disarmed. Letters from Galicia of the 29th ult. state that every thing still remains in a state of confusion, as Well as at Seville. .Two travellers, who passed our city from Alddrid yesterday, report that the Minister, Zea Bermudez, was to set pff for St. ildefonso to get the signature of' the King for the arrest of six or seven Bishops and Archbishops, who were concerned in the plot with Bessieres., They also state that the famous Father Cyrette has been arrested." SHIPBUILDERS:-.-The Public in general will read the AnyEanstaiswr from this respectable body of men in our Paper this day with peculiar interest and attention. In a commercial, politi cal, and national point of view, theyy be ranked amongst the most important classes'of the empire. Their conduct towards the SHIPWRIGHTS has been forbearing, just, and liberal, and it is evi dent that some evil spirits are at work, to induce the Shipwrights to enter into combinations that cats in the end be only ruinous to themselves. Farther concessions cannot be expected from the body of SHIPBUILDERS, and by maintaining with firmness, as they doubtless will do, the resolutions unanimously adopted at the last meet. ing, they will have the full sanction of public ap probation and support, and probably induce the misguided Shipwrights to listen no longer to, the baleful suggestions of clandestine ►malignity, but feel regret for their errors, and return to the per formance of that duty on which the comfort, and, even existence, of themselves and families, essen tially depend. NISCHNEY NOVOGOROD, AUG. 16.—The flag announcing the opening of the fair was hoisted as usual on the 27th of July, but up to the 6th August hardly any shops were opened ; at pre sent there are 3,198 which is 19 more than at the same time last year. Nevertheless little business has yet been done, but we hope that their will be more activity towards the end of the fair. A muchb rbrought smaller ht this quat quantity iteyofgoods than usual has frombeen Kiachta, in conse quence of which the prices are much higher. Tea which was sold last year at 330 to 550 rubles per chest of 40 to 50 pounds, is now worth from 400 to 750 rubles. Only 700 bales of nankeen which are s o ld at 50 t o 60 The consignments of this article dimi nish b e cause the nankeens of Russia manufacture are in no respect inferior to those of China : 25,000 bates of them have been brought heither which sell from 35 to 50 rubles. FRANKFORT, SEPT. B.—The Marquis of Ca maran, Ambassador from the King of France to the Austrian Court, arrived at Vienna on the 31st August. The same day arrived also Sir Mac pherson Grant, Secretary to the British Legation, coming from London with dispatches for this Government. The Baron Munchbellinghowsen, President of the German Diet, likewise arrived at Vienna the 31st A ugust. VIENNA, SEPT. 2,—His Imperial Highness the Archduke Charles has left the country seat of Weilburg, near Baden, and has returned to Vienna, on account of the expected aceouche ment of the Grand Duchess.
