Last night,. however, we ryceived the Etoile of the following day's ilate.- 7 -Advices from Zante announce the arrival of an expedition, as it is termed, from the Greek Committee. at Paris. It consists prinCipallY of workmen for the manufacture of arms. Ibrahim Pa cha it would appear, had not entirely aban doned his position at I'ripolizza. The accounts from Greece are altogether so confused, that we can hardly make out what the belligerents are, doitig.-L-The Etoilc has taken alarm at the mis sion f)f Bishop Luscombe. His movements are noted ; and it is asked what right the King of England, as head 6f the Established Church of this country,. has to send Missionaries to France ? If -the - - writer of this interrogatory knew any thing of the' subject of which he was treating; he might:have saved himself the trouble of asking the veStion.

[MORNING POST.] The Etoile for the 2d and 3d inst. reached us last night by : Express. No Papers were publish ed on account of its being All Souls Day, and yet the Etoile, though covering a longer period of time tlia7 . usual, displays no accumulation of in telligence. There is no communicati on whatever from Preece itself; and merely a confirmation from Zante of the 'statement that the expedition of QtEcerS, Engineers, and Artillerymen sent by the French Committee hid arrived at - tharisland, and . were to - sail immediately for Napoli di Ro mania. As. the Porte will be sure to consider this expedition as authorised, : if not actually dis patched by the • French Government, and will take measures in consequence, a belief seems to prevail that it would not have been allowed to quit the ports of Frlnce if her Ministers had not changed their opinion with respect . to the question of Greek emancipation, and the im portance of conciliating the feelings and future good-will of a country, which, if we should refuse its offer., they hope may claim their protection., The King of Bavaria has. commenced his reign in a manner calculated to render him popular.' Ile has appointed a Committee, over which he presides in person, the duty of •which is to ascer tain and to recommend every possible reduction in the .military establishment of the country. The intelligence frOm France itself 'only corro, borates the raising of the two camps of exercise or reserve formed. a few months since near Ba yonne and Perpignan.. This is the more singular, as insteadof continuing to look trOghter, as they lately did fora moment, the• affairs of Spain are assuming a darker and more threatening ap pearance. The Dale, which isnl ways preaching. Christianity, seems to he hurt, if not'offended, at the mission of a British Bishop by the Scotch Establishment, to superintend the religious in struction, and confirm the youpg members of the British Protestant families in France. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The signal good fortune which has hitherto at tended on General Bolivar, in war, .aS I well as in the management of civil affairs, promises to afsist him in his -favourite scheme of a South American Congress. The scheme is worthy of its illustrious author, who, it is Well known, has no other ambition but to promote the happiness of that portion of America which, until recently ) belonged .to Spain: The fable of the bundle of rods_has suggested the idea of this assembly ; and we know in •history nothing bearing affinity to it, but the Amphyctrione Council, whilst the Greeks were uncorrupted by foreign gold, and stood still erect in the' enjoyment of free dom.. The Germanic Diet, the only modern Institution having . the least resemblance to it, is only a base counterfeit at best ; for the de c.rees of the Diet are only binding on its mem. hers ts long as it suits their interests to obey them. The Deputies, too, are usually men who have grown old in. the practice of political in trigue.; and who, instead of promoting the inte rests of the Confederation, think merely of the peculiar State which they represent. The South American Deputies, On the contrary, , will go heart in hand with the illustrious author of the scheme ;snd there will not be one of them who will not exert himself with an honest zeal to pro mote the Objects of the Congress. The design, however, appears to have met with great obstruc tions at the Outset ; and notwithstanding its plain and obvious utility, it had many scruples to con, tend with, before it assumed the aspect which it now presents. It required' all the personal influence of the Liberator to overturn the objec tions to his plan—objections not founded in dis like to the principle, but originating entirely in the pressure of affairs under which all the New States had more or less , :labouied until very re cently. A Government that has work enough on its hands at home, and particularly if•it has more .than it can conveniently attend to, will not be easily persuaded to`direct its attention to ob jects abroad. However, Bolivar succeeded at last in gaining the consent of four of the New States ; and by the lust accounts from Chili, it may he reasonably expected that she will aLso join the Confederacy. Buenos Ayres has like wise' promised to seed' Deputies to 'Panama, though•not wholly favourable to the plan ; and at the first meeting therefore of the Congress, there , would "he presen,t Deputies, from 'all the States thatlately belonged to Spain. [MORNING TIEIZALD.] We do not know of a more decisive argument against imprisonment for debt, than its inutility as a punishment, combined with' the scenes of vice and Profligacy which such prisons present. Viewing them as receptacles of misfortune, they 'are instrumental to the greatest cruelty; while, as correctors of vice, they only enhance its enor mity. Speaking of those in the. Metropolis, it has long been notorious that the Fleet and King's Bench prisons have been, by turns, the focus of all those. extensive systems of depreda tion by which needy profligates have preyed upon the public; and it now, seems, from a recent trial at the Old Bailey, that the new prison in Whitecross-street has already caught the coon-• tagion, and is not one whit beyond the orig inal Hells, in the diabolical natu re o f its org i e s. It is not enough that most of the inmates of those places should have arrived at that degrading.state, by plundering too credulous tradesmen, but they can form, - concert, and carry into effect, within the prison walls, more extensive systems of depreda tion than those which brought them there. Yet all this occurs when we hear of Societies for the' promotion of Prison Discipline ; so that the hum. hug of reform in this respect would seem only to form a cloak for increased depravity. Is it to be believed, that those who have the charge of such places might not controul,.or at least detect these practices were they inclined to do so ? If a prison ,discipline means any thing, surely it must imply a kuowledge,'on the part of the gaoler, of the goings-on of those over whom he has the charge. But we will take it the other way if they please, and assume that all is done that can be done to prevent it ; and theSe scenes of plunder are car ried on without the knowledge or connivance of those who have the superintendence of such places. And if so, what stronger proof can be required of the utter inutility' (to say nothing of the posi tive mischief of moral evil) of imprisonment for debt? But our Prison Reformers, perhaps, gill say that they look only to criminals, and that debtors are not within the scope of their surveil, lance. Be it SO; but then we would tell these good and pious people,, that if the. lesser vice in these places cannot be cured, there is little pros pect that they , will . eradicate the greater evil:— The truth is, that the system of credit in. tlfls country is, and long has been,.a main. source of crime, and is, : tve firmly believe, only rnain taiiied in the . ruinous, extent to which it is car ried, as a source of enormous profit to that profession which, cc lives, and moves, and has its being" out of the vices and miseries of i mankind. Do away with credit, and what be comes of imprisonment for debt ? Do away with imprisoninent for debt, and, what becomes or one half of the 'attorneys,.and two-thirds of the. Bar risters, together with those pretty pickings which Insolvent Courts, and Commissionerships of Bankrupt hold out to the Learned Gentlemen, who laud so-highly the system under which they prosper ? Rot while the system does continue, surely it is .fit that debtor-gaols should .not be allowed to be, as they now are, the fruitful hot beds ef all that is base and nefario . us., And, surely that iroprisonmen't Can hardly be called such, whiCh leaves men at large to,prey upon the pub lic to the extent to which it, is clear that many of the inmates of the. places, we allude to are now in' the habit of doing. [NEW TIMES.] In the English Money Market yesterdly there was more business transacted than for some days past, and towards the afternoon manifested an improvement. Consols for the Account opened in the, morning at 871, and closed at 17-“, and 87 for Money. Exchequer Bills also slightly improved ; those of the larger description were from Is. to 3s. pm, the smaller ones 6s. pm.—ln the Foreign Market the Securities had a firmer appearance, and some bargains were done in them. Colombian Bonds, 7214 ; Ditto for the Account, 72k ; Mexican Bonds, 674 ; Brazil Scrip, 8+ dis.; Chilian Bonds, 635 ; Guatemala Bonds for the Account, 5 dis.;* Spanish Bonds, 17k. In the other Stocks there was little or no variation. The Share Market was not very lively yesterday, and although several quotatioris were given, yet ate quantity of business was not coin- Jnensurate to them. It is generally considered some - time must- elapse before a sufficient confi dence can be established to induce the public again to enter that vortex which has involved so many, and a more intense anxiety prevails just now to get possession of the money than longer to retain Shares in the various Associations.— Anglo-Mexican Mining Shares, 26 pm. ; Bolivar, 16 pm. ; Castello, lk pm.; Colombian, 8 pm. ; Pasco Peruvian, 4 pm.; Potosi, k pm. ; Real del Monte, 135 pm. ; United Mexican, 11 pm. ; Al liance Fire, 4 pm.; ditto Marine, 11 pm. ; Bir mingham and Liverpool Railway, s pm. ; British Rock and Patent Salt, 4 pm. ; British, Irish, and Colonial Silk, par. ; General Steam Navigation, dis. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] It is admitted, by the Journals published under the very nose of the Master Manufacturers, that the Combination "Laws were utterly ineffectual to repress-Combinations, while they generated a great deal of on the part of employers and workmen towards each other. Putting, therefore, justice out of the question, the repeal of the Law was called for by policy ; , for it is admitted that they were worse than useless. What is now wanted, is to put down combinations by reason ; and we apprehend that, the. period cannot be. far distant, when the men will, listen to reason. At present they entertain, it is true, the most ab surd notions, and indeed they claim,in manycases, the exercise of "a, controul over the masters' affairs as useless to themselves ds it is tyrannical._They talk of their masters being able to afford this or that rate of. wages out of their profits ; they wish, they say, nothing but what is fair. But if their makers were to : make ten times their present . profits, this is quite beside the question ;. if the masters make large profits they will extend their operations,' and if in doing so there is a scarcity of hands, „wages will rise as a matter of course. The • workman's labour is Ills pro perty, let him get as much for it as he pos sibly can ; let the master, on the other hand, be_ equally free to purchase labour. When a farmer goes into the mark'et,. the purchaser does not ask him what his profits are,—the demand and sup ply regulate the price, —the buyer would not give the farmer a_farthing more for his wheat, on being told that he was more than the rent of the [TII E TIMES.] Though we are in the main disposed to agree in the opinion: expressed repeatedly by the Lord Mayor, that the purchasers of shares in the vari.: ous ephemeral•joint-stock companies are scarcely a whit more honourable than the projectors, as they are equally actuated by the desire of inor dinate gains, without reference to the means, yet there is a view of the subject which has always struck us as much more important than any consi deration of the comparative merits of the cheaters and the. cheated. While on 'one side we saw men 'whose: very ,names .ought to have operated as a warning, and on the other mere credulous fools, ."i pleased to be undone," we held .it . to he absurd to waste advice on thOsC who would not listen, or who chose not to underitand ; but the case is dif ,ferent when the leprous infection of avarice has begun to seize those whose soundness is essential to the general health of the community. Jew . - jobbers and traders whose names are known chiefly to their bill-brokers and the printer of the Gazette, may gamble and swindle without 'let or hindrance—" 'tis their vocation ;" their in . fluence is confined to their own paltry circle, hand their example has no power to cot., •• rupt We fear, however, for the moral character of the people of England, when we see our noblemen—who used, for the most part, to be men of high spirit—our country gentlemen, who, if not very enlightened, were •as sound in principles as in constitution—and our merchants, which was but. another term for integrity and ho nourable dealing. ) , Sharing the general coutagion, and even proud of showing their plague spots, as if they were badge's of distinction. Noblemen, not content with the rents of their numerous acres, have sighed after the ore of the South American mountains, or the pearls at the bottom of the At lantic ; country gentlemen, dreading, probably, the abolition of their darling corn mono poly, have looked for a full indemnity in the proceeds of ship canals, to be cut through rocks of granite, orin the industry of silkwormsi to be reared amidst the mists and bogs 'of Ireland ; merchants, regardless of the distinction of being the best supporters of a free constitu tion, 'have shewn themselves ready to assist a despot to enslave his subjects, or to sabre them if they rebel ; but we would conjure such men to pause and calmly cousider, whether, with all their prospects of enormous lain, they are not, after all, selling their character too cheap ; or, whether allowing great profit to be equivalent to a good name, they are quite sure of preserving what they.. get. If the heart of the people becomes corrupted—if England becomes a nation of jobbers and 'speculators, there is an end of all patriotism—of all that pride of spirit which has made our island invincible against the unit ed world—of all that energetic enterprise and honest industry which were the best nurses both of our patriotism and our valour, because they cherished among all classes a constant re spect for themselves and for each other. Let people once lose their pride of character ; let avarice, by its pettifogging chicaneries produce its 9ever-failing concomitant self-contempt ; and from that hour, with our moral dignity, will perish our commercial greatness, and our national power. land out of pocket. These truths will, by and bye, produce the proper effect on the workmen. Experience is the best teacher, and they have now had a good deal of experience. We cannot say that we are surprised at the course followed by the workmen generally, for of those who had more leisure, and had received a better education, how few thought soundly on the subject ; and it is hardly fair to expect that all the wisdom of the country should be mono polised by those who have the least time for acquiring it.—What we cannot, however, so easily understand, is the clamour which has been raised against Mr. Hume, on account of hisex ertions to procure the repeal of laws now uni versally admitted to be both unjust and impolitic, and to secure to the workmen an impartial tribu nal in the questions between them and their em ployers. The Times of yesterday accuses him of flinching, from• au apprehension that to go farther on with the " operatives" would be dangerous.— This is imputing to the Honourable Member an approbation of combinations, which is a very dif ferent matter from giving freedom to the work man. LAW INTELLIGENCE. • COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 4. STAGE-COACH ACCIDENT. JANE STODDART V. SANDERSON AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff; who was a ser vant, to recover from the defendants, who are the proprietors of a stage-coach running between Brighton and London, compen sation in damages for an injury sustained by her, in conse quence of the coach Shaving been overturned during 'a journey from London to Brighton. Mr. GURNEY, having stated the case for the plaintiff:, called Jane Hawker—l lived as servant in Mr: Peyton's family in September, 1324. The plaintiff was my. fellow-servant ; she was upper house-maid and lady's-maid. On the 18th of Sept. 1824, the family went to Brighton. The plaintiff anti I fol lowed them; we took outside seats on the defendants' coach. Between Cuckfield and Brighton one of the leaders became restive, and :made towards the bank on the road side : the fore-wheel got on the bank, the coach was upset, and the pas sengers were thrown off: The plaintiff was very much hurt; her arm was swelled, and she appeared to suffer great pain. When she got to Brighton, Mr. Pitt, a surgeon, was called in to attend her ; he did attend her, from the 18th of September to the following month of May: . during that time she was in capable of cleaning or dressing herself. I saw her last Sunday, and she was not then able to dress herself. The plaintiff left Mr. Peyton's service on the 24th of September, 1824. On her cross-examination, she admitted that during the jour ney, up to the time the accident occurred, the passengers did not apprehend any danger. Mr. Francis Beaumont, another passenger, swore that after they changed horses at Cuckfield, he observed that one of the leaders carried his head on one side, and he asked the coachman what was the cause of 'the horse's carrying his head so. The coachman replied, " because he is inclined to the hedge," Oc casionally this horse was restive. 'When the coach got within three miles of Brighton,.the coachman hailed a postillion, who was driving a chariot towards the coach, to stop, in order to let the coach pass. The postillion. stopped for that purpose, the coach wheel almost immediately got on the bank and was up set. - There was nothing in the road that made it necessary that the coach wheel shoulcfgO on the bank. _Witness escaped un hurt. Cross-examined.—The coachman drove very steadily, until the accident happened. One of the leaders appeared to be in misery from the moment he was put in harness. William Brownley, another passenger, who sat in the dickey, said that after the horses were changed at Cuckfield, he ob served that the coach did not go in a straight direction, and he said to the other paSstngers " either the horses are umna nageable, or the coachman is unskilful ;" shortly afterwards the coach got on the hank and was upset. • Mr. Pitt, a surgeon at Brighton,• was called in on the 18th of This was an action of trespass, and undefended ; but from the evidence for the plaintiff; who was a butcher, carrying► on business at Limehouse-causeway, it appeared that he lived in a house of which several persons, among whom was the defend ant, claimed to be landlord. In the month of March last, the defendant, having previously distrained for rent, wanted the plaintiff to give up possession of the house, and upon the plain tiff's refusal to comply with the demand, the defendant hired some laboums, and having got on the roof, began to take off the tiles, and gave directions to the labourers to follow his ex ample, and to pull down the house. The labourers obeyed his, orders, and the consequence was, that the plaintiff's stock in trade to the value of 251., and his household furniture, which was worth 201., were destroyed by the rubbish falling on them, and the plaintiff; with his wife and nine children, deprived of a home. The Jury immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 1001. SHERIFF'S COURT, Nov. 4. CRIM. CON.-000LD V. TANNER. This was a writ of inquiry before the Sheriff of Middlesex, to tax and assess damages in action of Crim. Con., in which the defendant had allowed judgment to go by default. Damages laid at 5,0001.—Mr. COLERIDGE opened the - pleadings. Mr. BROUGHAM stated the case' to the Jttry in an able speech, in which he insisted that the allowing-of the judgment to go by default was a sufficient admission by the defendant of his guilt ; in addition to which he would produce- oral and written testimony.—The 'Learned Gentleman then called the following witnesses _ _ _ Williirn Goold examined—l know the plaintiff; he is my son; he is a Lieutenant in the Navy on half-pay ; I know Mrs. Goold, his wife; 'they were married ih February, 1821. They lived together from that time until this affair happened, which was discovered about three or four months ago. I had several opportunities of seeing them, as they lived near me at Salis bury. I never saw a happier family than they appeared to be. I know .John Tanner; he lives in Salisbury ; he was Mr. Goold's first' cousin, and they visited. Mrs. Goold's father I , was a clergyman, the son of Dr. Wharton. I lived in the same town with the Whartons several years. Cross-examined by the COMMON SERGEANT—I believe that my daughter-in-law is 24 years old ; she is younger than her husband, who is twenty-eight or t wen ty-nine, perhaps thirty years old ; the defendant is about twenty-five years of age. The plaintiff paid his addresses to -her about a year. I thought at first it would be better that my son should marry a farmer's daughter, as I thought Migs Wharton too high and too gay for him ; but he was determined to marry her, and so I gave my consent. I never heard that Miss Wharton was averse to the match, and that she had a previous attachment. Reexamined—l always thought it a, comfortable match, as they were living so happily together. Mr. P. Brown, a purser in the navy, had visited plaintiff and his wife, and thought they lived most happily and affectionately.. Elizabeth Drew was servant to plaintiff and his wife the year before last; they were then living at Salisbury. She always thought they lived very happily together; sometimes they visit. ed the Tanners. Witness saw Mr. Tanner come sometimes to the house when Mr. Goold was not present ; she had taken letters from Mrs. Goold to the defendant yery often, and delivered them into his own hands; she had seen her mistress and Tanner-together at other places than her master's; she had heard themkiss each other; they were often together for more than an hour. Thomas Shergold proved the several letters produced to be in the hand-writing of the defendant. Cross-examined by the Corso SERGEANT —The de fendant is about 24 years old. Mr. Tanner's father is a highly respectable attorney. He lives in Salisbury, and was twice Mayor of that town. [Hers letters from the defendant to the plaintiff's wife were put in, which left no doubt of the intercourse that had taken place.] • The COMMON SERJEANT, on the part of the defendant, ad dressed the Jury ; and in a most ingenious speech, contended that the plaintif was entitled to but trifling damages, inasmuch as the defendant, inste Id of being the seducer, had Jdmself been seduced by the lady. The Jury in a few minutes returned a verdict for the plain tiff—Damages 5001. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Nov. 4. Mr. T. E. FIELDER was admitted a proctor of this Court, with the usual forms. THE EALING GROTE. This was a cause of subtraction of mariners' wages, promoted by a seaman named Carman against - Faulkener, master of the Ealing Grove. The present question was only on the admission of a defensive allegation given in on behalf of the master and part owner. Dr. JENNER, after describing the nature of the cause, stated, that an action had been entered, in the commencement of these proceedings, against Mr. Faulkener, in the sum of 150/. This action was immediately bailed in the usual manner ; and he now prayed that an allegation, given in by the master, might be admitted. Dr. LUSHINGTON, for James Carman, the seaman, 'argued that the allegation was inadmissible ; Ist, on account of delay, it not having been given in till 10 days after-the time prescrib ed ; and, 2dly, Because,upon the face of the plea the facts did not amount to such offences as worked a forfeiture of wages. Some trifling acts of insubordination were alleged before the ship left the Downs, but the Master might then have dis misied the men had they been mutinous. He, however, over looked them, and it wis now toolate to revive a transaction so long by-gone. The voyage began at Portsmouth on the 20th of last December. On the 11th of February following, the ship having arrived at Dominica, Carman asked leave to go ashore about noon. The Master gave him leave till sunset.-- This, the Learned Counsel argued, was an implied condona tion of all that preceded. Carman, however, did not return that night, Next morning the master went ashore, and made a complaint to the Magistrate, by whom Carman was arrested. Not more than fourteen hours had elapsed after his permitted time of absence, whereas the Statut; regulating the Wrest India Trade (which is very strict in its provisions) fixes twenty-four hours absence without leave as the time incurring the penalties of desertion. This is an answer to that part of the plea. Carman, it is alleged, was insolent to the Magistrate, but insolenco to a West India Magistrate is not mutiny to be punish ed in this Court by forfeiture of wages. Besides, the Magis trate punished the offence himself pretty severely, for he com mitted Carman to prison, where he lay for 75 days, and was then sent a-board this ship, in which he worked his way home. On all these grounds, the Learned Counsel contended that the_ allgation ought to be rejected. After hearing.a reply by Dr. Jenner, the Learned and Noble Judge said, the Court was not inclined to exclude the allegfOod altogether ; but it thought, that possibly there were some cir cumstances more minutely pleaded than was - fiecessary . for the defence; it therefore recommended a revisal of it for a dis charge of what might not affect the real merits of the case.— The general objection as to the time of bring-idg in thcallega don, the Court thought was sufficiently answered ; there was reason to infer that it had been waived by the opposite party; and if not, it had been substantially accounted for by the Counsel. September, 1824, to attend the plaintiff, who complained of an injury done to her left elbow. Upon examination he discovered that the elbow was dislocated. The arm was then so swollen that he could not set the fracture. He' called in Messrs. Payne and Badcock, surgeons, and with their assistance he was able to set the fracture on the eig th day after the accident occurred ; the plaintiff was confined to her bed for three weeks, and her gene ral health was affected. • When the plaintiff was removed to London she had not recovered the use of her arm, and in his opinion she never would recover the use of it. Sir W. Blizard had seen the plaintiff, and in his opinion she never :would have the use of her arm. The joint was im moveable. The stiffness of the joint from such an injury was not uncommon. He had no reason to think the plaintiff had been improperly treated. Mrs. Peyton was at Brighton when the accident 'happened, and she sent for Mr. Pitt to attend the plaintiff. Mr. SCARLETT addressed the Jury for the defendant. He admitted that a verdict must be found for the plaintiff, but he contended, that, upon the whole of the evidence, it was quite clear that the upsetting of the coach was quite accidental, and therefore the defendants ought not to be called upon to pay heavy damages, unless it could be contended that stage coach proprietors were bound to have horses which could not by any possibility make a false step. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, said, that if the Jury should be of opinion that the defendants had employed in working the coach an unruly or improper horse, or a negli gent or unskilful coachman, when this accident occurred, then their verdict must be for the plaintiff: Now, with respect to the amount of damages, he would say, that it could not be de nied that the plaintiff had sustained a most serious injury--art injury, which, according to the opinion of the medical gentle men who had been examined, made her a cripple for life ; but still the verdict of the Jury ought in this, as in similar cases, to be such as would appear to the world to be the result of tem per and moderation. The. Jury retired at half-past two o'clock, and returned, at half-past four, a verdict for the plaintiff--Damages 4001. . SAUL V. BARBER. THE VINE, JAY. This was a case of salvage remuneration, for services to a ship and cargo, of the value of 5,.5001.• The vessel was on her re turn from Gibraltar, and on the 11th of March, with a licensed . pilot on board, got upon the shingles off the Needles. The cause of the accident was not explained. ; She remained in a state of great danger for three days and nights, when she was got off, and carried into Portsraouth harbdia.
