It had been contended the transaction was tainted upon the ground 'ltb usur y , and therefore the loss should take place. The sub :6. part part of the evidence parole and written, amounted to k s . ) a, that transaction s to a very limited extent had taken place f 7tweeo Alzedo and ' Wa g s taff ; the former knew but little of 'ae latt er , but from com munications that took place after do between Alzedo and lirande respecting Wagstaff, A• - (1 0 Was induced to suppose that Wagstaff was a person m Igh credit, and thereforehe discounted bills for him to a very rge amount. 111,: hick he attriouted to the e p sus ntations of Brarnley, and ,_ -o.,ruatel h tained a loss by Wagstaff, 'e propriety of Whieh Bra r tn e le r y ese iVas so convinced of, that ' s i considered h; I n -- „l 4l self hound in honour and justice to pay ed u l b.; `lie c ommencement of the transactions, Al ., as - ' an i. on the application of Ilr.l-oall'Y' to discount 8 b og s hi Upon the ordinary .. terms of deducting s guarantee a Per cent. and commission. • Bramley said, he owed debt to Alzedo which he wished to pay off 'Yk•Alaedo retaining ten per cent. in respect of it, until the ' " t wad disClargt-d from the sums lie was t 45 receive as dis , cu nt for his bills ; ' this had been admitted on all hands to 44 beeß a bonaftde transaction, and to which usury could of h. asc ribed. After this debt had been wiped away in this i '.l"ner, llramley desired to pay Alzedo the loss he had sus rt 4€l of 'Wgstaff, on precisely the same principle, but in d uf retaining ten, Alzedo W as only to hold , 'lt one per cent, in liquidation of that debt, which ,'sole dlonlit proper to becom e liable for ; and beth er the one per cent. had not ! real question was, whether this really was so, or i yowl what h been retain for e vas legally entitled to retain, as an r , sesment • ed by Alzedo hi ra to continue the discount deal -1• • The question h a d b een f a i r l y put to the I , n.

EXTRAORDINARY FACT.—At the funeral of ABRAtiam GRIFFITH, of Bryneynan (a tenant of Lord NEW.HOROUGH,) in the parish church of Nevin, in this county, a few days ago, it was found on opening the vault where his wife had nine years ago been interred, that the coffin which contained her remains was completely turned on its side.

THE CIIIMPANSA.—This enormous monkey inhabits the coast of the Gulf of Guinea. Its height is sometimes greater than that of man ; it has a small beard and mustachios ; and is exceedingly pugnacious. It lives, in some measure, in society ; at least numerous individuals of the species congregate together, to plunder the negroes hnd carry off their wives. It builds itself a hut, males love to the negresses, and drives away those who approach his dwelling, by pelting them with stones. Several young ones have been tamed, and found to possess great imitative talents.—Landon Weekly Review. We are informed by a correspondent in Den bighshire, that a most superb• organ, on the largest scale ever attempted in this kingdom, is now being put up in the parish church of Wrexham. The case is formed of the best Dautzic oak, of the purest Gothic architecture. The organ consists of 32 stops in the great organ, choir, and swell, and has also an octave and a half of double diapason pedals. The case is 35 feet high, 18 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth. There are 14 stops in the great organ, 3 ditto in the choir, and 9 ditto in the swell. It 'is, without exeeption; tzbe largest sized organ in Great Britain, Sir GEORGIC S!.o.nr, and several other profes sional gentlemen, pronounce it one of the finest toned organs ever erected. The cost is 1,3001. raised by the voluntary subscriptions of the parishioners. It is expected to be opened next month. —North Wales Chronicle. QUEBEC, OCT. 13.-Mr. ex-Sheriff PAR- Knis is now actually a sojourner in the city of Quebec, "in America," as my Lord Ditherly has it. It is by no means impossible that he is negotiating with the agent of the Canada Land Company. He meets but with little en couragement, thmfgh with vast condescension and affability he introduces himself to every one, on all occasions, with this preface, " Sir, excuse me, but, as a public character, I must say—" Then offers advice and counsel. Opinion is divided respecting him ; some say that he is on an excur sion; some hold that his last residence, previous to his land ing in the United States, was Russia ; but it is as generally believed that he is more directly from England. At plough ing matches, military parades, christenings, marriages, and funerals, Methodist meetings, and High Mass, the Ex is at hand, and ready, as a " public character," to shove in his oar.

" It is a matter of general notoriety, that the Dean and Chapter, and the Members of the Choir were, for upwards of fourteen years, in dispute on the manner in which the services were remunerated, and that on a discussion in 1823, it was contended, that the Members of St. Pe ter's Choir had experienced a harshness of treatment and neglect, for which titers was not a parallel in the kingdom.' " Without entering into the question between the public• and the Church of Westminster, on what appears at least ob jectionable, the price of admission: it must be allowed, that the Choir's remuneration should not depend upon the amount received by the showing of the tombs, because by the Letters Patent of the 2d Elizabeth, 21st May, 1560, under which the Dean and Chapter found their own right and claim, they also guarantee such privileges and benefits to such other persons as from thenceforth shall have be nefice, o f fice, or dignity in the said Collegiate Church. .‘ It is understood that the Dean and Chapter insist, that because certain Members of the Choir have on former occasions assented to accept of less than what they were entitled to, that the present Members of the Choir ought to accede thereto, and thereby bind succession. " It will be found from a view of the set out in 1560, 1603, 1638, and of benefactions accrued to the Members of the Choir in 1612, 1630, and 1662, that they pos sessed certain rights, profits, and privileges, to which they have now ajust claim, and that the present possessors ars not bound to abide by the commutations . entered into by their predecessors. " In consequence of a return called for by Parliament, of the amount of fees received for showing the tombs, and which was complied with, accompanied by a protest against the power of Parliament, if objected to by the Dean and Chapter, to call for it, and it being generally supposed the subject would become a matter of legislative inquiry and in terference, the fees of admission were reduced, and a tem porary arrangement made with the Choir to receive an annual sum, without any participation of the tomb-money. " Without at this time entering into the amount of an nual remuneration then agreed upon, it is curious to ob serve the retaliating and generous feeling which actuates those who consider themselves possessed of the power to remove the Members of the Choir at their will and plea lure. The Dean and Chapter, on such presumptive right, have laid down a code of regulations, which, in many re spects may, and it is believed are very proper, to secure a regular attendance, but they have also attached so severe a Table of Fines, that their infliction, under many circum stances, is considered a harshness of treatment for which there is not a parallel in the kingdom.' " A reference to tome documents and duplicates of others, which were, if they are not now, in the possession of the Dean and Chapter, would remove all doubts as to the powers of the Dean and Chapter, and show that the Members of the Choir are not removable at the will and pleasure of those who exercise so severe and unmerited a controul over them, and that they possess innate rights from the very documents on which alone the Dean and Chapter claim theirs ; and it will then unquestionably be admitted, on taking a comparative view of the duties performed by the Dean and Chapter, and by the Minor Canons and Members of the • Choir, together with the salaries and emoluments received by each, that the latter are entitled to all the grace and favour which the former can, con sistently with their dignified station, bestow."

At a General Court Martial, held at Chatham, on the 13th of September, 1627, and continued by adjournments to the 15th of the same month, Lieut. John Smeaton Brooke, of the 45th Regiment, was arraigned upon the under-mentioned charges Ist. For being, on or about the 27th June, 1827, in the public streets of Chatham, out of uniform, and dressed in plain clothes. 2d. For being, on or About the 27th June, 1827, in the public streets of Chatham, in a disgraceful state of in toxication. 3d. For assaulting and striking Corporal John Graham, of the 63d Regiment of Foot, on or about the night of the said 27th of June, 1827, near tke garrison of Chatham, hethe said Corporal John Graham being then Corpotal of the Piquet Guard, and in the due execution of his duty. Upon which charges the Court came to the following decision : " The Court having most maturely deliberated upon, weighed, and considered the whole of the evidence and matter adduced in support of the prosecution, together with the statement offered by the prisoner in his defence, is of opinion, that he Lieut. John Smeaton Brooke, of the 45th Regiment, is Guilty, in part, of the first and second charges exhibited against him, inasmuch as it appears to the Court, that he was in the town of Chatham, dressed in plain clothes, on the 27th June last, and likewise that he was not sober; but the Court do not find that he was in the streets during the day; on the contrary, it was during the night; nor has it been proved that he was in a state of intoxication so disgraceful, as the terms used in the second charge actually imply. " The Court do therefore acquit him of such parts of the two first charges as would have led to a belief, had he been found guilty of these charges in tote, that he (the prisoner) had actually been, during the day-time, in a dis graceful state of intoxication ; though it is clearly proved to the Court that he was dressed, at the time alluded to, in plain clothes, contrary to the standing orders of the Army, and that he was not by any means sober at the period when the circumstances occurred which form the grounds of the third charge, upon which the Court do find him, Lieutenant John Smeeaton Brooke, of the 45th Regiment, Guilty, viz.:-- " Assaulting and striking Corporal John Graham, of the 63d Regt. of Foot, on or about the night of the said 27th Corporaloc f and in G n r e a l: a t m h g a beingr r is ga rrison e o n f C C o h r a p t h o r a a m l , 0 f h the ep i d et ard, d in due execution of his duty; and the Court ,do therefore adjudge him, Lieutenant John Smeaton Brooke, to be dismissed from his Majesty's service.

SPIRIT OF TIIE PUBLIC JOURNALS. No news ; but much gossip on the affairs of Austria, Greece, and Turkey, is the description which we should apply to the occurrences of yesterday. But before we proceed further, we shall state what is the duty of a young officer who has been commissioned by his commander in-chief to bring home the official account of a battle. He should, of course, convey the de spatches to their destination with all the speed he is capable; and having done this, he should answer frankly and readily the explanatory ques tions which it may be necessary to put to him on the subject of the despatches of which he has been the bearer. Being but a young man, as we assume, it will be perfectly clear that all the at tention which he can summon will be employed in listening to the interrogatories of Ministers and high official persons, and affording intelligi ble replies and explanations ; through modesty, the inseparable companion of youthful courage, he will necessa r ily b e overw h e lmed with th e no velty of hi s s it uation ; h e w ill i n th a t s it uat i on have no exces s or re d un d ancy o f m i n d, which he can apply (like a Walsingham or a Burleigh), to make observations on those before whom he is placed, on the nature of their questions, as . indicating different feelings, and a disposition to elicit different answers ; and if any one should say that he pretends to this sagacity, they slander and injure him, because every one knows that it is impossible he should possess it. He ought, therefore, to be extremely cautious how he conducts himself in mixed societies after wards, lest he afford a handle to others, and en able slyer men than himself to make him the. author of rumours which suit their own politir, a l purposes. This is the duty of'a young off,c er i n sg the situati on w hi c h we h ave suppose d ; and we hope it will n o t b e , or h as not been tmnressed, in the ardent desire of youth to fix 'Attention and catch applause. The first news f;torn the Levant will probably be telegraphed. through France. We have no occasion to repeat what we said yesterday on the falsehood of reports of a sinister occurrence at Navarin, and of Sir John Gore's going out to supersede Sir Edvrard-Codrington. These absurdities are net repeated to-day. Th e treaty by which the Allies meant to have inter posed their good office as peace-makers between Turkey and Greece was that which the Duke of Wellington settled in St. Petershurgh.—Thnes. There can be no doubt but that, in a free country, people should be allowed to pursue their freaks and fancies, so long as they are harm less, to their hearts' content. Independently of the principle of free agency, nonsense is in it elf often as amusing to the bystanders as to the, actors in it. But even consummate nonsense is sometimes mischievous, and, when it is likely to become so, ought, instead of being encouraged, to be checked. Upon this principle we have al ,vays set our face against the consummate non sense which has been talked and acted 1w a set of silly people, calling themselves Philhellenists, -,vho, some of them in the shape ofloan-jobbers, and others under the mask of « classical recol.7- lections," have endeavoured but too successfully to excite a feeling in this country, which, under an imaginative, poetical Minister, has been fan ned into a flame, which, from the very embers of nonsense, has at length involved the country - in one of the most " false positions". she has ever_ been placed in. « What had• - nokao""do - With the Greeks ?" " why are we to belliVolved in a war . on their account ?" are questiOna now in every man's mouth ; and the only answer we can give, to such inquirers is—" Because .you . had, two sets of people--one of them fools, and thaother. knaves—who chose to set up. an outcry in their favour ; and because you had a Minister weak enough to set up his classical recollections' against the obvious policy of the British Em lure.' This, though a 'very simple, is. a very true state of the case. It may be ridiculed, as, we dare say it will be, by. those, who find it necessary to bolster up the errors of those , ~ whose acts, whether right or wrong, they find it necessary to justify; but the calm observer will, we are thoroughly persuaded, feel with us, that on no occasion has the peace of the eountry ever been broke in upon by any cause so groundless And unjustifiable as the course which the Govern ment (or rather the late Minister) has thought. proper to take upon wh a t i s called the Greek Question, A nation of freebooters, 'which felt that they had the power and the wealth to dic tate and domineer wherever they pleased, could not have pursued a more reckless indiscriminat ing course than that which the dupes of the Philliellenists have followed upon this occasion. We do not deny that the dispute between the Turks and their subjects, the Greeks, had be come a public nuisance, and one which this country, and the other Powers of Europe, had a right to call upon both parties to abate ; but to take a side, and that the wrong and unjust side, upon such a question, is an obvious breach of common justice and discretion which none but the most indiscreet Minister which this country ever knew could have adopted. The'present Mi nisters, though late, in effect acknowledge this by the step which they have now taken. rhe, Pro clamation which they have at length issued, to put down piracy in the Mediterranean is precisely the step which they and the other Powers should' have adopted long ago, and in the fi er rit sh in o s u ta ld nc i e n . w tha hole same sea which, mhwi ee i oh s b;: t def h ua e rthh c tah o see m saps m oar ik o ug n esheto h tf i igtlaoehl all who see eh cause o o k f teorp i af i t a vt tehifroers free esi,t Greeksratonhi from the dbyan(glee declaring aorifngm war rstiagtiaoiini against l t k h u e t ir th m at as N t s e ' claim these v er y same G reeks the pirates and and common disturb ers.

We trust they will not add to it the meanness of sacrificing the honour and reputa tion of a brave officer upon the occasion. How ever impolitic the situation in which Sir Edward . well see how he could have acted otherwise. That Codrington may have been placed, he and those ' under him were not deficient in, bravery or skill is sufficiently obvious—ai,d that he does not appear to have wanted judgment in the peculiariy trying situation in which he was placed seems scarcely less apparent.
