THE G ItEEKS. l'ho following has teen sent for insertion by litor Greek Deputies : OF AN OFFICIAL NIOCLAIIATION OF TLIIC GREEK GOYEsANUENT A Thanks to God ! The enemy's fleet, that made its ap ekeikraace 'off Cape erOro, threatened so much to attack the abatis of Hydra and Spezzia„ that the Government thought it 'Komar) . Weeder the troops that were at Napoli di Romania to be sent there, in order to defend this bulwark of our independ ence. The aforesaid fleet, consisting of 100 sail, between men ef-wso and transports, and which was carrying troops and all . kip& of war ammunition and provisions, in order to effect the of Greece, has been completely defeated by our brave ;Libra of Cape d'Ordo and Andros, between the 20th and 21st of May, 0. 8. The proud Capitan Pacha succeeded with slouch difficulty in effecting his escape with only 27 ships, still .k.4.lowed by . Of second division of the Greek fleet under -fteldoury. The Admiral's ship, which was the largest amongst *fie enemy's fleet, was burnt; but the Capitan Pacha was not kund on board, he knowing by experience that the Greeks at tacked generally the ship on board of which he was. Another frigate of a smaller dimension has also been burnt in the en gagement; and several other men-of-war, having been dis persed and chased by the Greeks, ran ashore on the islands of . tiyra and Tyros. A great number of transports had been cap tared,and brought in to the islands of Hydra and Spezzia. The Admiral .sliaulis, informed at Mace of the glorious en gagement of Sacktoury, hastened to the '4lOl in pursuit of the neat of the enemy's fleet, which it was fully anticipated would Save met the same fate." " CORFU, JUNE 17 ♦ND 18. " Ibrahim Pacha's position in the Morea becomes daily snore critical. It appears certain, that in wishing to penetrate into the interior of the country, he was surrounded by a consi derable body of troops under Colocotroni, from whence he will find much difficulty in extricating himself. Besides his bad situation by land, the events that took place by sea between the 20th and 21st of last month 0. S., must very much embarrass him. According to the official report of the Greek -Uovernment on this event, it results that the Capitan Pacha's frigate, with another of a smaller dimension, had been burnt by the Greek fire-ships, together with many other small ves sels, snd that the Capitan Paella's tint was reduced to about :30 ships. The Greeks, under Goura, have beaten the Turks in Eastern Greece. Report says that they rendered them selves prisoners, and that Goura was trying to combine a junction with the Greek army of observation at Missolonghi, in order to attack the Albanians that were besieging that place. " ZANTE, JUNE 14. " The official report of the Greek Government will inform you of what took place the beginning of June (N.S.) between Sacktoury and the Capitan Paella. I have moreover to say, that the news contained in the foregoing report has been con firmed by the many captains of merchantmen that have arrived here lately. They reckon the loss of the Turks at about thirty sail, between men-of-war and transports, laden with provisions, and all kinds of war ammunition.. This event renders their situation in the Morea very critical. We have seen to-day three , I):eek ships going to Missolonglii, with war-munition and pro visions. They have orders to prevent the Turks communi cating with Patras, where it, was intended to send a consider able body of troops under the command of one of those chiefs al-?tsined at Hydra." NEW JURY BILL. The following Circular respecting the New Jury Bill has been issued from the Home Office : AVUITEHALL, JULY 4, 1825, " S's —I herewith transmit a copy of the Act (6 Geo. IV. c. 50) which has recently passed for consolidating and amend ing the laws relative to jurors and juries. The machinery for the construction of the jury lists came into operation on the Ist instant, but the general provisions of the Act will not be in f:a - ce until the commencement of the next year. As it is highly important that the duties of those who are concerned in the formation of the lists should be fully under sood, I think it would be extremely useful that you should explain them in your charge to the Grand Jury at the ap proaching Quarter Sessions. And it will also be disirable that you should call the attention of your brother 'Magistrates to the necessity of their appointing a Special Petty Sessions, to be held within the last seven days of September, for the purpose of receiving, considering, reforming, and allowing the lists; the day of holding which sessions must be fixed, so as to enable the desk of. the,petty sessions to give notice of it to the high constable of each hundred, and to the churchwardens and overseers of each parish, before the 20th of August. You - will find this subject treated of in the 10th section of the Act. " The qualifications and exemptions of jurors are described in the two first clauses ; and as they are also fully stated in the precepts, which will be in the hands of the parish officers, I hope there is little danger of their being misunderstood. The great alteration consis - ,s in making the owners of personal pro.. pert) , qualified to serve on juries, which is effected by qualify-1 rag those who are rated or assessed to the poor -rate, or in habited house duty, in 201., or occupy a house with fifteen windows. " You will not fail to observe that the lists, which have been heretofore prepared by the petty constable or tything-man, a , 7e now, according to the Pith, 7th, Bth, and 9th sections, to be prepared by the churchwardens and overseers, who are deemed to be,- en the great majority of cases, more intelligent and more conversant with the subject than those on whom the duly has hitherto fallen. And the power given by the 11th clause, of inspecting the tax assessments and poor rates, is cal culated to facilitate the discharge of tills duty. The 44th and 45th sections impoee such penalties on the peace and parish officers for the neglect of their several duties, an, it is hoped, will deter them from neglecting them. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, " ROBERT PEEL. " Ts the Cfiairrnan of the July Quarter Sessions for the—." THE INDIAN ARMY. MitiLLTARY BADGE OF DIS'fr,NCTION.

MURDER. AT MANCHESTER. On Wednesday last an Inquest was held by adjournment at the Spread Eagle, in Chapel-street, Salford, on the body of Martha Standring. The husband of the deceased was a dyer, and on Wednesday morning John Hardy, a man who works in the same shop, called him up to go to his business ; this was a quarter to five o'clock, and on looking over the rails, Hardy noticed the deceased lying on the flags before the win dow. Her head was towards the steps, and her feet towards her own door. Hardy did not go down to her, but called " Joseph," as he had been accustomed to do. Joseph answered him from the house, that lie would be with him directly, and Hardy went away, leaving the woman laid down ; he bad seen her before at the bottom of the steps, but whether drunk or not he could not say. When he got opposite the Wheat Sheaf, in Salford, he saw Standring coming after him : when he came up, he looked a good deal fluttered. He said, " Did you see any thing of my btossoni younder ?" Hardy told him he did. He said, " I think she is dead." :lardy said, " Do you think she is ?" He said he thought she was. They went back to the place, and stood at the top of the cellar steps: There was no person about at the tune; the body had not been stirred since they were there before. Standring said he did not stir her; strode over her. Hardy said he would have nothing to do with her, and bade him waken the neighbours or go to the police. He said he would go to the police-office. In the mean time, an alarm was given, that the woman was murdered, and she was found in the state described by Hardy. The body was quite warm, and every joint was suple ; and it was the opi nion of those who found her, that she had not been dead more than twenty minutes. 4 , Standring's door was broken open, and the body was carried into the House. When they got her in, Standring returned with a man named Diggles, and began to abuse the persons for breaking the door open. He asked no questions about his wife. Hardy further stated : I have lived near him for about twelve inontlis ; lie and his wife have quarrelled a great many times ; she has run many a time to our house to save herself, and I have got up to let her in two or three dines; he gets a little liquor sometimes on a Sa turday night, but lie is not a man that drinks much in the week days; ?,know he used to make a practice of locking her out if she was tot in at his bed hours; I dO not think she was very regular in her hours, he came to our house about half past eight on. Tuesday evening ; he was quite sober then ; saw her on the Monday; she had two black eyes; she said her husband gave her them. John niggles stated, about half-past five o'clock on Wed. nesday morning, Joseph Standring called me up. 4 previously t.knew both him and his wife very well. When I went to the window, he said, " I have found my wife dead at the door; what must I do with her ?" 1 said, " thou hast been doing something at her again, for I saw her yesterday with a pair of black eyes ;" he said, " I have not touched her ; I gave her those black eyes on Sunday morning, and I have never touched het since ;" I went down stairs, and went along with him ; when he had gone a few yards, lie said, " I do think she has choked herself with a handkerchief or something; she often promised what .he would do, through drink and jealousy ;" we went on to the cellar ; I examined the body, and from the marks on the face, I thought I should be justified in taking him into custody ; I did so ; I did not see the mark upon the neck until after lie was lodged in the New Bailey; my first opinion was, that he had caused her death by beating her ; Roger Brown afterwards searched the house, hut no cord was found. He found a batting frame, and there appeared to be some cord gone from it. [The batting frame was then produced; it was covered with cords rather thicker than a goose-quill ;' some of which appeared to have been very recently taken away. • One end had been wound round an iron screw in the frame, and the rusty marks showed very plainly where the cord had been.] Mr. Bouttlower, surgeon, stated, that he examined the body of the deceased. He found the face greatly discoloured, the eyes very black, and marks and bruises on the lower part of the left jaw. There was also a scratch over the right collar bone; but the principal appearance which attracted his no: tice was a deep furrow extending across the fore part of the neck, and coming immediately behind the ear on the right side of the head, and to the roots of the hair on the left side. He was of opinion that the deceased had died from strangu lation, and from the deep furrow extending nearly round the neck, he had no doubt that it had been effected by a small cord. It could not have been done by the hands of any person, for in that case the marks of the fingerS would have been left on the skin. Witness conceives it quite impossible that the deceased could have been strangled by her cap-strings. After hearing so me further unimportant evidence, the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Joseph Stand. ring, the husband. The prisoner was then brought into the room. He appeared to be about 45 years of age, and looked very ill. The CoRONER said to him, "•Jossepli Standring, it is my duty to inform you; that the Jury have returned a unanimous verdict of wilful murder against you ; and you must be com mitted to Lancaster Gaol, to take your trial." The wretched man, on hearing this, exclaimed—" Oh dear, oh dear ! I'm innocent, Gentlemen. I never saw her from the time she went out until I saw her dead. I'm innocent, so help me God !" The prisoner was then taken away. As lie was going - out of the door, he again exclaimed, " I'm as innocent as the child un born. It's murder, and nothing but fair murder." SUICIDt. FOR LOVE.—On Friday morning, n. young gentleman, named Sydney Walsh, residing at No. 11, East-street, Walworth, made an attempt to destroy himself: Abcut twelve months ago he became acquainted with a young lady named Keep; residing with her mother in the neighbour. hood, for whom he formed an attachment. He was constantly visiting the house of the mother, who sanctioned his addresses to her daughter, and ultimately he made the proposal of mar riage, on which he was treated with a coolness, which seemed to operate very much on his mind. On Thursday night last, he went to bed at his usual time. On the following morning the inmates of the house were alarmed at hearing the report of a pistol, and on prOceeding to his apartment, from which it came, the unfortunate gentleman was lying on the bed weltering in. his blood. A rifle pistol was on the bed, which he had dis charged through his chest, the contents passed through the lungs. Mr. Swift, surgeon, rendered every assistance, but the position of the ball reteered it impossible for it to be im mediately extracted. His friends were sent for, who being present, he was questioned as to the cause of so rash a design to deprive himself of life. He endeavoured to snake them understand that • something was in his pocket which would explain. On searchim.;, a letter was found ad dressed to " Sydney Walsh," and signed " illary Keep," which commenced by requesting him to decline hivaddresses in future, as she had formed a dislike to him suddenly , for which see could not account, and it would be folly for her to encoetrage him, as sire could never marry a man she did not love. She thanked him for trifling obligations bestowed on herseif and mother, and said she would always feel happy in meeting him as a friend, but nut as her lover, and begged of bins not to sillier frivolous .despondency tp operate upon his mind. The unfortunate gentleman, up. to htst night, was in • great pain, and net the least hope nil' reCoYdy, the-ball not being extracted. He is 22 years of age, and is well known in the medical The cbjcct of hie affection is 19. LAMENTABLE SUICIDE. Yesterday afternoon an Inquisition was held at the Hero of Waterloo public-house, Waterloo-road, Lam beth, before Mr. CARTER, the Coroner, and a very respect of Mr. Samuel Price, a linen-draper in atlbtelelji.ur a ry t • e , fi o o n o r h o e a a)od ,w y ho cut his throat at his own house on Fri, day night. • Mr. Cooke, a surgeon, stated that on Friday night last, about eleven o'clock, he was sent for to the house of the deceased, whom he found in his own room, lying on his bed with his throat cat in two places, and blood flowing in great quanti ties from the wounds. He sewed up the wounds, but his aid was perfectly useless. One of the two cuts, which wete on the sight side of the throat, - was sufficient to cause almost instant death. Mr. Greaves, a gentleman residing in the Waterloo-road, who had had dealings with the deceased in business, stated that the latter was the senior partner in the firm of Price and Davies, and carried on a very respectable business on what was called the " tally" system, of letting persons of good character but slender income have goods, anti taking payment by weekly in stalments. The witness, after relating the nature of some transactions in which he was concerned with the deceased, stated that on Friday last he was in the shop with him and his partner, Mr. Davies, and he saw the latter count out a quantity of silver in 20s. parcels and put it on the counter, and the deceased, as he counted it, put it into his pocket, and he also took some gold from Mr. Davies. When he had put the money into his pocket he asked his partner if heknew what money he had given him, and when the latter told him, he contradicted him angrily, and took the cash out again, and counted it over. There was something very hasty and rather wild in his manner upon that occasion. About a fortnight since he observed to the witness that he had such an immense pressure of business on his mind that it was almost too much for him. • Ile said he had been up all the night before, en gaged in writing, and he must be up also all that night ; and added, " If it goes on so, it must soon come to an end one way or the other." SHe told the witness that he bad 9,000 cus [tot-tiers, which, if t.tSe, was Tcertainly. almost enough to turn a man's brain. Witness had' never observed anything particu lar in his manner more than he had described. The Coroner asked if there were any other witnesses present, and was told that Mr. Price, sen., was in attendance. The Co roner asked the Jury whether they thought it necessary to call any more witnesses., One would imagine that nothing but in sanity could have caused the deceased to commit the dreadful act, considering that he was young, and in the full possession of health, and with the almost certain prospect of flourishing in the world. One of the Jury said, he believed Mr. Price, sen., was very willing to be examined, but that he feared that some family matters which it might be necessary to discloke, would be re ported by the public press, " and," said the Juror, " he wishes you, Mr. Coroner, to prevent the publication of any such matters." . The Coroner.-1 have no power to prevent the publication of any part of proceedings that may take place before me. It is an open Court, and I always wish it to be so. I have the strongest desire that every proceeding over which I preside should be as public as possible; and I think the gentlemen of the Jury and every properly thinking man must be of opinion that the utmost publicity should be given to all inquiries of this nature. A gentleman connected with the press said an application had already been made to him by the friends of the deceased, and he hail given an answer. It could not be the wish of the press unnecessarily to wound the feelings of parties in such a case as the present ; but he must be left to the exercise of his own discretion. The application to the Coroner was useless as well as unnecessary, that officer having no controul over the Press. Mr. Price, sen., was then sworn, and stated, that he boarded at his son's, hut did not sleep there. On Friday evening last, his son came home at nine o'clock, and witness told him he was a good lad to come home so early, and quite sober. The de ceased complained of a dreadful heat in his inside, accompanied with pain, and the witness advised him to abstain from any spirits, and take nothing but what was cooling. He went to bed about ten o'clock. At 11, the witness was informed that his son had cut his throat. He went up stairs, but did not go into the room, as the surgeon told him that the blood was stop ped, and if witness went in, it might agitate him, and re-open the wound. Witness had never known any particular acts of wildness or insanity on the part of the deceased, but he should state, that the malady might he said to be hereditary in the family of his mother; she died in a private asylum at Beth nal-green; and witness had another son who had once been deranged, but got better, and died subsequently in a decline. His derangement, however, was attributed to a_ religious mania that was prevalent at that time at Hereford; where he then lived, and which affected the heads of several others so as to produce insanity. The deceased was not given to drinking. The Jury then went to the house to view the body, and on their return it was announced that the servant, who attended upon the deceased on the fatal night, was in attendance, but the foreman of the jury said that he and his fellows were perfectly satisfied, and desired to hear no more evidence. A verdict was then - given " that the deceased destroyed himself in a fit of tem porary insanity." It was stated by, one of the Jury that it was the custom of the deceased to have a basin of boiled milk every night taken up to his room ; and on the night in question, when the servant, after he had retired to his room, was taking it up, she heard him groan, and ran down to Mr. Davies, who on ascending to his partner's room, found hint weltering in his blood. The deceas ed was 25 years of age. SUDDEN DEATlL—Yesterday afternoon, at one o'clock, an Inquest was held before Mr. Uswtsr, the Coroner, at the Duke of Marlborough public-house, in St. Cathernte's, on view of the body of John M'Uraken, aged 60, formerly. beadle of the parish, for the last thirty. years. It appeared from the evidence of Thorp. a watchman, and others, that the de ceased, who had been latterly much addicted to liquor, came to the watch-house about 10 o'clock on Friday night last, to remain there as constable for the remainder of the night, and not being sober, he fell asleep in the chair: About eleven, a noisy subject was brought in before hint ; it was found neces sary to call the deceased to book the charge, when it was for the first time discovered that the vital spark had fled, and all Imeans to restore him proved unavailing.—The Jury, after a ifew minutes' consultation, returned a verdict, that the deceased died of " Apoplexy." EXTRAORDINARY CIIICUMSTANCE.-01) SatUr day evening a very gentlemanly-looking man, about 32' years of age, went into the shop of Mr. Ramsay, pawnbroker, in Liquorpond-street, in a state of considerable agitatation, and, with some symptoms of having too freely indulged in the bottle, asked for a pistol. Mr. Clunis (Mr. Ramsay's assistant) asked what particular kind he wished to purchase ? He replied " one that will do execution." This being rather a vague reply, a number of pistols were presented to him, when he selected one, the price of which was ten shillings. He then inquired if they were furnished with bullets, and expressed a with to have one that would fit the barrel of the pistol he had bought. Mr. R., surprised at such questions, stepped forward, and told the Gentleman that pawnbrokers did not deal in such articles ; he also was induced to ask, from the strange manner of the prisoner, forwhat purpose he was about to purchase the pistol? " I'll tell you at once,", said the gentleman, " I want to blow ~nty brains.oat;.l haveelPat ten thousands by gambling within a year and a half; I have - a wife and two children, who will be the better of being rid of me can't you get me a bullet cast that will suit this pistol ? I'll pay for the pistol, give you a so. vereign for casting the bullet in any mould you may have, and I'll give 'you, in your own shop, a sight such as which you have never seen, a.rnan blow his brains out, Mr. Ramsey, not over anxious for such a spectacle, as also conceiving that humanity dictated that he should not permit any person to go at large in such a state of mind, pretended to order an apprentice to cast a bullet in one of his moulds, while he secretly dispatched a mes senger (while the gentleman was waiting for the termination of the apprentice's labours) for a Hatton-garden officer. him brick was soon in attendance, and on examining the gentle man, he found on his person nearly two hundred pounds, in paper and specie, but nothing to give a clue to his name or residence. He was immediately taken to Hatton-garden Office, before the Sitting Magistrate, whete his conduct was at first rather violent. " Why should Ibe brought here ?" said he, any mati has a right, if he likes, to blow out 'his own brains ; it is not a capital offence; why drag me here as a felon ?" The worthy Magistrate observed to Mr. Ramsay that his con duct was highly commendable, and in the kindest manner re monstrated with the gentleman on the rashness of the act which he had contemplated. After some. correctives, such as soda water, • 4a, &c., which were procured for the gentleman, in the course of half an hour he became so rational, that he was dis charged, and we have not since heard of his discharging the contents of any pistol. CARRYING LETTERS IN THE MAIL COACIIES.-We think it right to state, that great vigilance has been within these few days used to detect individuals in the unlawful practice of carrying letters, when they travel in mail coaches. A gentleman was arrested in Monaghan laSt week, for a fine of 101. which he incurred in this way.—(Dublin Morning Regis:er.) An , infant school was opened last week in •Newington-butts. The application for admission were so nu merotis tha't inless. than an hour as many children were ad mitted as it was deemed prudent to take. None are received under two years of age. • WEST INDIA DOCKS. STOCK ACCOUNT for the Week ending Saturday, the 9th of July, 1825. Delivered.

A few days ago the prisoner ca lled at his Royal Highness's house in Park-lane, and put in the letter produced, addressed to the Duke, and describing the writer asa great ob ject of charity, and entreating relief. The hand-writing of this letter, although differently signed, appearing to be very similar to that of all the others, the prisoner was suspected to be the writer of the whole ; and having been desired to call the next, day, inforination was given to the Mendicity people, and one of their constables was in attendance when the prisoner called the second time ; arid one of the Duke's servants having given the prisoner 3s. in the - presence of the constable, the latter took hint into custody, when he immediately dropped the 3s. on the ground. On his apprehension, the prisoner said that he was a respectable tradesman out of work, and lodging at the house of a Mrs. Brown, at Deptford; but on inquiring, it was found that no Mrs. Brown resided at the place described, and, in fact, that every thing the prisoner had stated was unfounded.— The Magistrate asked the prisoner what account lie had now to give of himself? He said, that he had only to say he had been in respectable business, as a tradesman, in the cabinet making and upholding line, at Doncaster, which was his na tive place ; but being reduced by misfortune, and thrown out of work, he was obliged to quit that place; and on coming to London he could get no employment, and dire necessity drove him to apply to his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, having heard that he was of a very humane and charitable dis position ; and he got a man to write the letter produced, who was in the habit of writing letters for people. He did not write the letter himself, nor did he ever have any other letter but that one addressed to his Royal Highness. If, however, he had of fended against the laws, he was ready to bear the consenuenee, and they might do with him what they pleased, for life was a burden to him ; indeed, he had very little of life in him as It was. (The prisoner looked a living image of death ; and one of the constables said, that since he had been in custody, four days. all they could say or do, they could not prevail on him to take any . food, and he had expressed a determination to put a period to his existence in such a decided tone, that after search. ing him, and taking every thing from him by which he could possibly effect his purpose, they paid a man to sit up and watch him all night.)—The Magistrate said, that although he might not be the author of all the other letters, there was certainly a strong similarity in the hand-writing ; but however this might be, it was clear that lie was prac:ising an imposition, for almost the whole of what he had told to the officers turned out, on in quiry, to be untrue, and he could not be suffered to go without punishment. He was committed f u r one month to the House I of Correction. The frauds of a fellow calling himself John Fitzwilliam Thirst Ilemzeorth, who' is a prisoner for debt in `►Warwick goal, in obtainin►; goods from incautious tradesmen, have been before no ticed. Such is the extent of his depredations, that we understand that among the n ewsvenders alone he has obtained credit for not less than 1501. That body are taking active measures to bring his fraud, if possible, under the cognizance of a Court of Justice.
