KING OF SPAIN V. HULLETT AND OTHERS. This. part-heard appeal was first called on at the sitting of the Court. The discussion was upon the validity of . a demurrer to the bill put in by the defendants, on the alleged ground of want of equity. Mr. HEALD and Mr. RUSSELL were heard in support of the demurrer. Sir. CHARLIS Wargsurr.r., who had to be followed by Mr. Suanwar.r. and Mr. WHEATLY, was addressing the Court against the validity of the demurrer, when our Reporter left. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. • COPYRIGHT INJUNCTION. LONGMAN A ND OTHERS V. SMITH. Mr. SHADwELL app for a special injunction on the part of the plaintiffs to restrain the defendant; the Rev. Mr. Smith, from printing, publishing, or exposing for sale► Any copy or copies of Lindley Murray's Abridgement of the English Grammar, with the additions, alterations, and im provements, as published by the plaintiffs in 1802. The affidavits in support of the application stated that Mr. Murray published his English Grammar in 1797. It went through several editions ; and in 1802 he published an Abridgements with additions, alterations, and improve ments. This also Went through a number of editions ; it had, in fact, reached the 93d. The copyright of this abridgenient was in the plaintiffs. The defendant (Mr. Smith) had lately published copieS of this latter work; he admitted his having done so erroneously, and was now, the Learned Gentleman stated, quite satisfied that the injunc tion should be granted. The Rev. Mr. SMITH said, that he was led into the error by seeing a copy of the work published without the title. From this he was induced to think that it was an edition which was printed in 1797. "I have since (said. the Rev. Gentleman) looked into the affidavits filed on the part of the plaintiffs, and find them in most points-per fectly correct. I have no intention of opposing the motion. So far from wishing to do so; before I published my edi tion, I waited on Mr. Green, one of the plaintiffs, and presenting him with a copy of my edition, said, Mr. Green, if I should have taken any part of your legal pro perty, have only the condescension to point it out to me, and I pledge myself that it shall not go before the public, as I'll take care to erase it. No, no,' said he, we must have a rap at you.'—(A laugh. )._I told him that I offered him all that a Court of Chancery could give. But this would not satisfy him : he reminded me of Neiman, the Syrian, who, when desired to cleanse himself in the waters of the Joidan, preferred the Waters of Egypt, as being much better, and the plaintiffs . regard the order of your Honour as much better than the word of Mr. Smith." —(Great laughter.)—The Rev. Gentlemen, in conclusion, said that he merely wished that the order of the Court might not be so framed as to lead him into any error, as to the manner in which .he was to fill up that part of the book which now contained the additions, &c. The VICE-Cisslscxr.r.oa-1 am sure, Mr. Smith, you Must yourself have known many persons who took physic, alt''ough in excellent health ; I, in the same manner, have seeii many persons file bills in Chancery without the slightest necessity. His HoNoua granted the injunction. The Court was occ , ;pied during the remainder of the day in hearing short causes, none of which possessed any general interest. HIGH. COURT OF ADMIRALTY. TILE BETSY CANES. This was a case of collision, in which Lord Stowel was assigted by two of the brethren of the Trinity House. The suit was brought by the owner of the fishing smack Mi nerva, out from Gravesend, against the owners of the brig Betsy Canes; bound from London to Shields, in ballast. It appeared from the testimony of the witnesses examined on both sides, that on the 3d of December, the Minerva being off the coast of Norfolk, fell in with a galliot in great distress, and took her in tow. The , galliot had lost her rudder, and the Minerva was behind, steering the galliot. Whilst in this position the Betsy Canes struck the Mi nerva- about midship, and she went down, the crew es " Ping With great difficulty. Dr. ,J RNwER (with whom was Dr. PicicAan) for the owners of the Betsy Canes, contended that the accident Was the consequence of inattention on the part of the crew of the Minerva, they having neglected to use the ordinary precaution of hanging out a light, and being without any sails. -she presented the appearanc e of a vessel at anchor, which deceived the crew of the Betsy Canes. The Court decided, that the owners of the Minerva were not entitled to compensation, and that the damage Was the rertilt of an unfortunate accident, occurring in consequence of the negligence of the people on board the smack. The Court, therefore, refused the application, but without costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Lord TENTuanzu sat at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, till twelve o'clock, and disposed of several undefended causes. (SITTINGS IN BaNco.) TIM ADMINISTRATFax or RENNEL AGAINST THE BISHOP OF LINCOLN. This was a case brought under the review of this Court, on a writ of error from the Court of Common Pl eas , under the following circumstances :—The deceased' Mr. Rennel, was possessed of the right of advowson to a living in the diocese of Lincoln, which became vacant previous to his death, and to which he had omitted to present during his life ; on his death, the plaintiff, as his executrix, conceiving the right to be a personal chattel, presented a clergyman, but the defendant refused to induct him, on the ground that the right of pre:- sentation was in the successor, and not in the executor; upon which the plaintiff brought the question before the Court of Common Pleas, the Judges of which decided against the plaintiff. The question was on a former occa sion fully argued in this Court, and the three puisne Judges this morning delivered their opinions at great length in favour of the plaintiff's right; but Lord Tenterden dif fered from his learned 'lmthren, and concurred in the de cision of the Court of Common Pleas. The majority of course carried, and the decision of the latter was reversed.' S UMMER ASSIZES. WESTERN CIRCUIT. Before Lord Chief Justice BEST and Mr. Justice licit- ROUGH.

MEEK' CHIEF: Who would believe that he is the chief pro rioter of all the dissensions in the Government, bat he foments them by 'every means in his loWer ? • And yet it is all too true. He never tits out unaccompanied by two or three hun- died armed Albanians, whom he pays well to protect his person. If he were the true friend :o his country that he wishes to be thought, what would be have to fear ? The other mem )ers of the Government do not hesitate walking every day from the Assembly at Thamala to Poros--eolocotroni would not walk a hundred cards without his butchers, as they are termed. Wherever he goes he quarters his soldiers on ,he inhabitants. These wretches frequently con- ducted themselves so cruelly, that when the'pea sants at Thamak heard that Colocotroni was on his way there a great number of them fled and deserted their houses. There is a small village between Thamala and Poros—no sooner did its peaceful inhabitants hear of Colocotroni's arrival at Thamala, which was about three miles distant, than they all abandoned their houses, taking every thing with them to Poros. I had fre quently been to this village before, and was not aware that it had been deserted, till one morning in one of my usual rambles, I went into the house. of a peasapt, where I had occasionally taken an egg and a glass of the " via du pays ; - and finding no one within, and remarking also that nothing remained but the bare walls, I was induced to enter several others, every one of which I found as completely deserted. On my return to Poros I was informed of- the cause of this desertion, with which I have already ac quainted. you. You may form some idea of the property Colocotroni has amassed by rapine and plunder, when I tell you that he• can afford to keep several hundred Albanians in his pay, who, it is well known, will alway 4 side with those who pay them best, whether Greek or Turk, no matter. In justice, however, to his son, I must say he is worthy of a better father. He is a brave spirited young man, and has distinguished himself on every occasion. He is always fore most in the field, and is an honour to the cause he is fighting for. A SUPERLATIVE CRITIC.—The Courier of Saturday last pronounces Sir WA LTER SCOTT'S'" Lif e o f NAPOLEON" a catch-penny, of course it must have read the work or it would not have ventured on so pointed a decision. Strange to say, however, the book (consisting of nine thick vols.) only came out on Saturday morning ; the criticism must have bean written at about one o'clock on the same day, so that each volume must have been carefully perused and commented on in the short pace of four hours. Certainly criticism founded on such accurate, lengthened, and extensive acquaintance with its subject, must be invaluable. Died, on the 28th of June, at Moate, near Athlone, county Westmeath, in Ireland, HENRY HUTTON, .Esq., Lieutenant-General of the Forces, and Colonel in the Royal Regiment of Artillery, after a long illness, which was borne with ..exemplary fortitude. General HuvroN was the son of the late Doctor CHARLES HUT- ToN, formerly of Woolwich, and latterly of Bedford-row, London. He has left an afflicted widow and one only son. The General was in the 66th year of his age, and has died universally lamented by his friends and surviving relatives. SHIPPING INTELLIGEI4OE,(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

This amusing little theatre opened last night with Dryden's celebrated Opera of Arthur and Em meline, which has been revived (the first time for some years) for the purpose of introducing Miss Kelly in the character of the blind Emmeline. Miss Goward performed Philidel, (the Ariel of the play) and with such spirit that we were almost reconciled to the loss of Maria Tree, who, as one of Shak speare's or Dryden's spirits, used to look the incar nation of romance. The Opera was splendidly got up, and, assisted as it is by the vocal talents of Thorne, Pearman, and Phillips, bids fair:to become popular. It was succeeded by a new piece entitled the " Cornish Miners," the plot of which was some thing to the following effect :—Kynan and his son Stephen are miners, and have been lately cast in a law suit, in which Trevannion, another miner, was the plaintiff. Both Stephen and Trevannion are attached to Anne Oswald, whose mother prefers the latter because he has been instrumental to: her sup port; Anne, however, prefers Stephen,. and in a situation of great hazard, when, from some defect in the engine the water rushes in to the spot where Stephen is at work, descends, drest as a boy, into the mine, and with some difficulty, and after encounter ing a savage miner, who is an agreeable compound of the footpad and misanthrope. saves him, and is of course ultimately made' happy with his hand. Such is ,the structure of the " Cornish Miners," which, aided by the abilities of Bennett, Bartley, Smith, and Miss Goward, was highly and deservedly applauded. Curtailment, however, we should add will do the piece no harm. BRANCH-BANK OF ENGLAND AT LI- VERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 30. The building in Hanover-street, to be appropriated as the Branch Establishment of the Bank of Engs land in this town, is to be opened on Monday.— Although the final alterations and additions will not be completed for some weeks, or perhaps months, such is the anxiety of the Agents to commence operations, that the paintees, glaziers, and joiners are now (at a late hour) busy at work, finishing the front, or main apartment, which occupies the full length of the house, and is fitted with substantial counters and desks, in a plain but costly style. The building was formerly a private dwelling-house, of considerable antiquity, and remarkable for its neat, chaste and elaborate stone frOnt, probably the finest in this . town. But the stone was of a mouldering quality, and time had effaced much of the sharpness of the masonry. By help, however, of chissels, files, and scraping instruments, put in motion by the electric touch of the golden talisman of the . Bank Directori (who purchased the property), the whole was po lished up and freshened, and a facing of new stone has been supplied wherever it was found that the old material was too much decayed. The front is en riched by six Corinthian pilasters in renew, with bold capitals. These rise to the top of the second story, supporting an entablature, over which in an attic story, with empannelled blocking. Under four of the windows in •the second story (the space under the centre one being occupied by the pediment of the door) there are rich hanging wreaths of fruits and flowers, carved in the stone, in alto relievo.— These, owing to the goodness of the stone; remained fresh and uninjured by time. The whole of the interior has been (to use a homely phrase) gutted, re-planned, and fitted up with new window-frames, doors, and plaster-work, and the workmanship is costly and appropriate. The iron safe, or strong house, is, we under Stand, below; and is impreg nably secured by gates and doors•of the same ma terial ; and there have alreafiy been deposited in it a ponderous consignment of the precious metal from Threadneedle-street. Besides the back apartment€ of the old building, extensive new premises are in course of completion in the yard behind, which is strongly walled in. These are for the private u se of the Agents ; and the whole establishment be speaks an abundant possession of effects. The situation of the Branch-Bank is not, we think, very caciscri, as regards the centre of business, happilY f rom which it is (as yet) somewhat remote; bat the proprietors appear to be sanguine of their success, and we hope the commercial community may e njoy all its promised advantages. The opening of the establishment will form a prominent event in the annals of this great emporium of commerce. , LITERARY GAZETTE.---The last number of this popular Journal is quite a gem in its way. In addition to a well -written and early notice of Moore's new Tale of the « Epicurean," it gives, gra tuitously, an extra sheet of matter, which is filled with extracts from Scott's ‘, Life of Na- . poleon, (a book scarcely yet published.) It is to this indefatigable eagerness . for ,Providing en tertainment, as.well as to Mr. Jerdan's taste in selecting . inaterials , that the present wide .eircu lation of his Gazette is to be attributed.

THE LATE LORD DE TABLEY'S PICTURES. —Yesterday there was a private view of the noble gallery of pictures of that munificent patron of the British School of Arts, the late Lord de Tabley, at his Lordship's late residence in Hill street, Berkeley-square. The gallery and rooms were crowded all the morning by noblemen and amateurs of distinction. A great number of ladies also visited the gallery, anxious to see this splendid collection of the works of modern Eng lish artists, previous to its dispersion on Satur day next. Sir John Leicester's celebrated por trait of Lady Leicester, in the personification of Hope, as described by Spencer in his Fairy Queen, attracted particular notice, as did also the Sleeping Nymph of Hoppner, that great master piece of the artist,' which has become so well known from the celebrated engravings of it by .Wood and Smith. The other principal pictures, 'consist entirely of the works of celebrated modern artists, viz. Reynolds, West, Fuseli, Turner, Collins, Wilson, Hilton, Ward, North cote, Romney, Opie, Gainsborough, &c. A gentleman lately returned from New South Wales has favoured us with the following story : 4 , Having occasion frequently to pass from Syd ney to Cockle Bay, and being always ferried across by an old, honest-looking seafaring man, I was once induced to ask him the cause of his transportation. The question brought a tear from his eye, and, as it glistened on his cheek, he told me, he was one of the crew of the Royal George, at the time of her sinking at Spithead. I was sitting between decks,' said he, looking at some young gentlemen who were playing cards for a considerable sum, when the alarm was given. They immediately dropped their cards, and flew on deck, leaving about ten guineas on the table, which I took the liberty to put into my pocket, and seeing the water rush in at one side of the ship, I jumped out of a port on the other, and was immediately taken up by a boat, which landed me and a few others at Portsmouth,— Fearing I might meet the young gentlemen whose money I had, I set off for London, where my friends lived. The dishonest act I had com mitted weighed heavily on my mind ; but instead of resolving to return the money, I got into bad company, who led me to greater crimes, and in less than a year I was capitally convicted at the Old Bailey, and should have been hung, had not a friend, who, influenced by the af- flicting account I gave of the loss of the brave Admiral Kempenfelt, and my ship -mates, and any providential escape, obtained a remission of my punishment to fourteen years' transportation. I was sent out among the first of the convicts to this Colony, where I have endeavoured to atone for my violation of the laws of my country at home, by. strict conformity to them here, and trust, by sincere repentance and gratitude to the God of all goodness, for affording me time and disposition, I have obtained forgiveness. In this country, Sir, where there are so few incitements to sin, and so many to honest industry, callous indeed must be the heart which does not get rid of vicious propensities. I married soon after I got here, and my wife and myself have brought up a large family, and have now sever a l g ra nd children, and, I th an k God, they are all s o b er , honest, and in dustrious. My bowels often yearn to revisit the dear land of my father, but that cannot be ; I cannot leave my children ; poor old John Waters will :ever see old England again.

TATTERSALL'S._JULY L• It will be seen by the following statement, that the July Stakes attracted the most particular notice, there being se veral fresh horses brought into request, on all of which there was a good deal of bettin g . The Doncaster St. Leger was not much talked of, and but trifling alterations took place, and those on outside horses. The Derby and Oaks were scarcely mentioned. The Room was very re spectably attended, and the business of the day closed at six o'clock. • JULY STAKES-(NEWIKARKET). 7 to 2 apt Zeal I 5 to 1 apt Juryman 5 to 1 agst Eleanor I 6 to 1 apt Folly 9to 1 apt Stoughton Lass.

PARIS, JUNE I9.—The following extract of a letter from Madrid, dated June 1, gives amore detailed and accurate account of a most horrible crime committed in the neighbourhood of Ma drid, than that which some of the Journals pub lished : " On the 23d of last month a pedlar, one of town those ocfalclehdopoirzectgsos,instothppe e p d r a o t vi a nc h e o o u f 6 se iil uax t i h a e . laxara, where he had•frequently put up before.— Haying an entire confidence in the owner of the house and his wife, from his long acquaintance with them, he left his pack in the chamber where he had supped, and retired to another room to Sleep. The woman of the house, at first moved' only 'by. curiosity,' opened the pack; but the sight of numerous articles Of female ciress, in silk,. cot ton, &c., together with a sum of money which it containd, tempted' her to propose to her husband to murder the pedlar, and make his property their Own. As her husband hesitated to do the deed, she, like another Lady Macbeth, seized a po niard, and stole on tip-toe into the room where the pedlar lay fast asleep. She gave him two stabs in the belly, and one in the heart, which almost instantly produced death. The husband and wife then conveyed the. body to the garden, where they dug a grave, and buried it. A few days afterwards the woman put on her daughter, aged 'eight years, one of the silk handkerchief found in the pack of the unfortunate pedlar. The child went to school, when her mistress asked her where her mother had bought so pretty a kerchief. The' child replied that she did not know ; but that her mother had a great many of the same,' and others which were still prettier. The schoolmistress told the child to ask her mother to sell her one. On returning home, the child told her mother what had taken place. The latter became dreadfully alarmed, and, going into the next room, told her husband that they were in almost invevitable danger of discovery through the indiscretion Of the child, and that the only means that remained to prevent it was to put the child to death ! She then proposed to him to dig a grave in the garden, and said, I will send . the 'child with your breakfast to you to-morrow ; you will strangle her with a cord, and imme diately bury her. To this horrid plan the un natural wretch consented. It would appear by the sequel that the child overheard this 'conver sation ; for the next morning, at seven o'clock, when she was sent by her mother with breakfast to her father, she found him standing near a hole he had dug. After wishing him good mor row, she added, Papa, that grave is for me—is it not ? These words, from the innocent lips of his child, awakened the feelings of nature in his bosom ; tears fell from his eyes, and, with a tone of affected anger, he told her not to come near him, but to return to the house. When the inhuman mother saw her child return, she became convinced that she must herself per petrate the horrid deed. She lighted the oven, threw a large quantity of wood into it, and, when it was thoroughly heated, she, after gagging her child, and tying her hands and feet, threw her into the flames, and closed the oven.door upon her ! The thickness of the smoke, and its ex traordinary smell, attracted the attention of the neighbours, some of whom entered the house, and asked what there was baking, that could occasion such an odour. The murderess at first endeavoured to brave it out, and told them it was no concern of their's what she was baking; but her confusion and terror became so great, that the neighbours resolved to see the cause of it, and, opening the oven doors, they were struck with horror on seeing two half-consumed legs— the only part of the unfortunate child that had not been reduced to cinders ! Some of those present fled with horror from the house, and went to inform the 'Corregidor. On the arrival of the officers of . justice, the property of the murdered pedlar, which was found in the house, s possible." led . to a search . for his body, which was disco vered in the garden. The perpetra tors of t h es e almost incredible atrocities avo wed their g u ilt , f a r n o d m lodged e e nco they v e the ;prison r i ison of f Cssi since transferred t so. the prison of Madrid. Their t ri al is expected a to take place with as little delay e a~ +. - - [GHER CLASS OF INHABITANTS OF - PtIROS. - PoHos, MAY 18.--At the present moment, most of the members of the: Provisional Govern ment are residing here. lam personally ac quiinted with many of them, but I have only hmi the honour of visit O n g two or three. Many of them dress in the European costume, but ethers wear the dress of the country or island to which they belong. You are not, perhaps, .Iware that the Greek dress is different in every island, but I can assure you that not only are their dresses various, but in many respects their customs and manners are very' different. We must, however, return to our original subject. The best house in Pores can bear no compari son with the neat and humble cot of the Englista peasant. One of the best buildings is occupied by Boudouri arid his family. He is a Hydriot, and was lately one of the Chief Primates of that island ; and has, moreover, for some years been ,me of the leading 'members of the Government. !ri describing the dwelling of this individual, I shall enable you'Ao form some idea of those of the other Primates, but, with your leave, I will :)reface my account by giving you 'a short de scription of the individual himself. He always dresses in the Costume of his island, namely, a short round jacket (generally of an olive colour) -Aged with black silk braiding. It is made so as 'o fit closely to the back of the neck, but has no ollar, so that the neck is left quite exposed.— They never button the jacket. Under it, they wear an embroidered waistcoat,. made either of silk or clOth—generally, the dress of the Chief is neater and plainer than that of the common people ; some of whom wear most splendid dresses covered with gold embroidery. Their waistcoats are made very different from ours.— only . thing I can compare them to, is our a nder-waistcoat, for. they,' like , them, are cut down three or four inches in front. Of course, this you may judge that' they do not button ii front, but '.must -be • fastened behind. They wear no collar or wrist-bands to their shirts.— ['heir trowsers are the most extraordinary part ~.)f their dress.•' How to describe them I am at a ioss, but I will do my best : Suppose you were to cut two holes in a wide sack, each large anouah to admit a leg, .and you were to tray; this on, ' fastening the upper part round vour waist, letting the remainder fall down in lumerous folds as low as the. calf of the leg, :our sack would then perfectly resemble a pair Jf Hydriot trowsers. These trowsers are gene rally made of a kind of fustian, olive and ')rovvn the general colours. A crimson silk sash sound the waist, worn very wide (and in which .he soldiers and common people generally stick heir arms) ; a pair of white cotton, or nankeen silk stockings, with a shoe either very square 'oed, or turning upwards in a point, but without ties, completes the dress of the Hydriot Chief. —The lower order rarely, indeed, sport , a pair of stockings. Some of - these miserable creatures Will 'saveidl.the money they can scrape together in a year, living all the time with the .nost rigid abstemiousness, merely,forsthe s A ke of laying the whole out in a rich suit. Such votaries are they to dress, that it is not uncom mon for a 'man to spend several. years' hard earnings in the purchase of gorgeous and costly attire. It is, therefore, by no means a rare thing ro see a Greek with a suit of clothes on his back embroidered all over with various devices 'in ;old, worth probably 2,000 piastres (about 341. English), and frequently twice that sum. It is truly ridiculous to see these fellows in their splendid apparel. without a shoe or stocking to their feet, and frequently without a penny in their pockets. But Greece is not the only place where the rage for dress is prevalerit, it is just the same throughout all the Turkish em pire. I have omitted to mention one indispens able requisite in the dress of both. Lord and simplenamely, the Greek crimson skull cap, which just covers the top of the head, and is crowned by, a - small . blue silk tassel. This is worn by high and , low, both at home and abroad, and is the only covering for the head among those who do not wear turbans. They NN. ear all weathers and seasons, and never sit at home or walk abroad. without it. it is made out of one piece of cloth, without any seam ; the tex ture is either coarse or fine, according to the price, as you may judge, when I. tell you that they are to be bought from two to eighteen piastres. All this time have I digressed from my original subject, and now I have so' little room left, that I must really Apologise, and beg to defer a description of Boudouri's house to my next, in which I will also give you a short account of Mavrocordato, as well as of his re sidence. In the meantime, I cannot conclude this letter better than by finishing my brief his tory of Boudouri. He and Admiral Tombasi married the sisters of Demetrio Vulgari, a Hy , driot Primate, and one of the members of the Government. He is about thirty-five years of age, five feet ten inches in height ; his counte nance is fine'and expressive. Like all other Greeks, he sports the fiercely-curling moustachio. He speaks remarkably good French, is extrem e ly polite and attentive to strangers, but eslpecially so to Englishmen. He has a pretty good for tune, and has presented his country with two or three very fine brigs of war. His father resides j at Zante, and is highly respected.
