[MORNING eosT. - 1 The accounts of Grecian suffering and Turkish guilt would make the heart sick with horror, if they did not rouse at the same time a fiery sense of indignation more congenial to the spirits of men, and above - all of Englishmen. Fearful in deed has been, and is still, the race of blood of the Mussulmen. From partial assassinations, they rushed .to indiscriminate Carnage ; and from the slaughter of the unarmed and unoffending, they now proceed to the destruction of cities, and the extirpation of a whole people. Intoxi cated with blood, they even rave openly of still more extensive desolation. The fury which -de -yours the Greeks, looks upon all Christendom as . its prey, and emboldened by the passive- Dees • of Christian states, already begins the plunder and massacre of their subjects ! It is time that this overflow of barbarian spirit should be sternmed. It is time that not one Power alone, but all the Powers of Europe should unite in declaring to Turkey that Christian blood is not to be shed impunely, and that if her course -be not altered, if humanity. be not spared—if the extinction of a people be her object, it must be fhe extinction of -the, Mussulmen of Smyrna and Constantinople, and 'not that of the Greeks. — Such a declaration might prove effectual, for the Turks only forget their weakness because they meet with no opposition on the. part of other States. But should it fail of success, the appear ance of a few of our ships, joined to those of France and the Netherlands, with the advance of an Austrian and Russian force, woulcf,immediately compel` submission without any danger to the ba lance of Europe, for the existence of which fears might otherwise be entertained, if the task were entrusted to the armies of only ono Power. • --reesta.--- IMORNING CHRONICLE.] The journey of Lord Walpole to Vienna has for its object, we understand, to persuade Aus tria to concur with us in . some measures for frus trating the views of Russia with tespeCt to Turkey. France, it is said, is as much alarmed at the pre sent aspect of affairs as our Government, and ready to join with us and the Government of Austria i❑ the above object. It is wished to endeavour to prevent, if possible, the advance of a Russian army on Constantinople; but at the same time to withdraw the Greeks from the dominion of the Turks ; at all events, to obtain for them the independent possession of the Morea and the Greek Islands. No friend to humanity would wish to see the Greeks again placed at the mercy of the Turks, and if some plan like the above can lie fallen on for prevent ing the extension of Russian dominion, and . yet securing the Greeks from Turkish excesses, it will, we believe, be prpdtictiie . of very general satisfaction. The greatest difficulty will be to reconcile the Turks to 'such an arrangement ; but this difficult?; we apprehend, will not be insur naountable.—There is no question, but that the conduct of Russia has filled Ministers with very great alarm. The Emperor Alexander has al ways, indeed, personally given the strongest as surances of his pacific intentions ; but the acts of every person .in the employment of Russia betray intentions of an opposite nature. Even they who have the strongest reliance on the sin'cerity of the Emperor, must allow that there is but too much ground for apprehension: [NEW TIMES.] The Public. has a right to demand, from every journalist, at least a fair statement of facts, so far as he can -ascertain them by common di ligence. Great allowance will no doubt be made for an honest warmth in- stating opi r niaus ; and it is not. to be expected that such warmth may not unconsciously mix itself up with the impression produced by, external oc currences.--We were therefore prepared to meet with some degree of misrepresentation in the accounts given by certain Prints, of the late proceedings on the trial of - Mary Anne Carlile. Bat we own we did not expect that a Journal of the general respectability of The Morning Caro - njele would have gone so far in positive mis statement as to speak - of the Verdict obtained in that case.! Twice, however, within the first four lines of its Leading Article does it assert, that there was a - Verdict, and that it was a death-blow to • the Constitutional Asso ciation and what is remarkable, in the very same paper it makes another assertion on this subject,l in flat contradiction to itself, and yet contrives, by a happy facility of error, that' both its statements shall be alike untrue. The other statement is, that " a Noli Prosequi was ente'red by consent of all parties, in consequence of the Jurymen not being able to agree in a verdict" — Now, the real ract is, that there was neither a verdict, hor a Noli Prosqui,' There . waS one man.resolved to acquit, arid six or eight equally resolved to convict; and in. this state of things, afier'the Jury had, been nineteen hours out of Court, 'the Learned Counsel for the: prosecution, fr - Onf PerSonal motives of humanity,' and regard to ,the Comfort and health of the Jury, did . upon his own responsibility,, and without any special authority from the 'Association to that effect, give ":his; consent. to , -the -discharge of the Jury. [MORNING - 11RALD.] Tl►e atrocities of the -Turks continue, and with increased .liorior.—nap, torture) ma'" [From the " Birmingham and Lichfield Chronicle," Jnly 26.] Seldom has it happened to. us in the course of our lives to have witnessed such a day of national happiness as Thursday last. Never, perhaps, with the single exception of the Jubilee of George the Third, was there a National holiday, in which the people at large, of all ranks, took so deep and general an interest. We well remember that day ; how it was antici pated, how it was felt, and how it was celebrated. But not even then did the tide of national joy run deeper or fuller than on the late festival. Nor grateful as we were then, and mat pro perly•grateful for the blessing our country had for 60 years en joyed under the paternal rule of George the Third, had we more cause for gratitude, than when George the Fourth, at peace with all the world, revered and honoured by every nation of Europe, and justly admired and beloved by his Subjects, re ceived the Crown which his - ancestors had worn. • If we may judge Of other towns by our own ; if this great manufacturing district, this thickly peopled portion of England, may be con sidered as presenting any thing like a specimen of the feelings prevailing through the country; then we may assume that every face in Erie:la nd beamed with joy, and every tongue was elo quent with gratitude and pleasure. For we heard no other voice from this . great town but that of heartfelt loyalty and un mingled rejoicing. We saw no expression but that which it well becomes an Englishman's countenance to bear, the ex pression of content and comfort; of happinpss within and of sympathy with all the joy which was uttered round him ; and in no instance which has fallen under our observance, did mer riment degenerate into riotousness or disorder. But every one seemed desirous to add to the pleasures of his neighbour ; and to enjoy himself without interfering with the enjoyments of others. We shall hear, perhaps, that all this is too highly co loured : and we should not be surprised, if the traders in groan ing and factitious miseries should represent it as 'altogether a mistake; and endeavour to persuade us, that the people took no part in our rejoicings, and felt no interest in the solemnities or festivities of the day. But we speak of what we saw, and what we know : and as by far the greater part of our population were in the phblic streets, happy, rejoicing, orderly, grateful, and contented, we shall be satisfied with the evidence of our senses, and believe our eyes and ears, although such gross cre dulity may shock the sceptical grumbler, and induce him to be wail our blindness, or sneer at our infatuation. We can readily suppose that there were some who saw nothing like rejoicing the whole day through. For there was something in the very at mosphere so thoroughly impregnated with loyalty that a trite Radical could not breathe it ; and he had no resource but to shut his doors and windows, and muse in solitary bitterness over the folly of hig countrymen.. The joy which we felt while celebrating the day ourselves, seems to have been only a faint resemblance to that diffused aver the assembled population of the M etropolia; who had the privilege and pleasure of Actually viewirig the august ceremony of the Coronation. But who is there among us, who has not felt all his pleasure renewed, as he has perused the animated accounts of the solemn spectacle with which the Newspapers have been filled ? Who has not been cheered by the certainty, that our Sovereign himself bore its fa tigues without inconvenience; and that no fatal accidents. oc curred to change the current of joyous feeling. 'Who has not felt that the character of his••country•was.redeemed, by some of the events of that day, from the foul disgrace prepared for it by those, who would have insulted their gonareh, even in the hour of his greatest .earthly exultation, and polluted the sacred ceremony of his Coronation by the presence of the misguided inmate of .Brandenburgh House. The reception which this Personage then received from the assembled people, will we trust be a lesson to her mind, never to be forgotten. Let her remember that it was the mob who surrounded her car riage, and that it was the people who received her with shouts of disapprobation, and who hailed her departure as if the very air they breathed had been rendered more vital by the removal of her presence. The mob may perhaps be bought by filthy acts of deception,. or by the baser modes of hire : but the people cannot be purchased, deceived, or seduced. They know the Queen, and the Queen now knows them. Let her retire from the conflict. She has risked the few friends and the little credit that was left her; and what has she gained ? W lien her calculating - friend, Mr. Joseph Hume, has struck the balance,. if she is wise she will divide the profits between Mr. Alderman Wood and the Editor of the Old Times,' and close the concern for ever. On the day of his MAJESTY'S Coronation, MOSES SAMUEL, Esq. of Ilold-street, presented to the Library of the Athenwurn, a manuscript Pentateuch, or Sacred Laws of the Jews. This singular curiosity is of very great value, and Leautifully written on a roll of fine vellum, four .inches wide, and upwards of forty-five feet long ; it is attached at each end to.an ivory roller, and the whole is enclosed in a splendid case of crim son velvet. A special meeting of.the Committee was summoned for the purpose of receiving this .valuable present, and an Ark was ordered ,to be prepared for its preservation under Mr. SAMUEL'S direction. Rich as this library has always been in literary treasures, it is now indebted to the generosity of• Mr. SAMUEL for. its greatest rarity. —( Liverpool Courier.) On Monday evening (the 23d inst.) the Royal 'Mail coach commenced starting from Dover at nine o'clock, instead of seven as heretofore. This carriage will in-future travel at a quicker pace than it has been accu-.'omed to, as we un derstand the contractors engage to convey the Mail from London to Dover in ten hours ; from whence the bags for the Continent are to be for warded to Calais by steam packets, and it is cal culated that a communication will thus be effected between London and Calais in little more than twelvehours.—.(Kent Heral(L) Thursday night some miscreant entered a gentleman's stable at Lacock, Wilts, and repeat edly stabbed a. valuable poney, and endeavoured to put the halter on its neck, so that it might hang itself! The horse is not expected to recover. , —(Buth Herald.) A. residence of two years in Switzerland, and particular attention directed to the rural economy of - the coun try, amongst other things, brought "me acquainted with a me thod of harvesting which to me was quite new. Smce my - re turn home I have made many inquiries without having learned • that a similar method was ever practis-d in England, though it is by no uterus improbable that it may already be known either in local custom of old!date, or from having been introductai by travellers who had equal opportunities with Myself of oh- 1 serving what passed before their eyes. lam not aware, how ever, that any written description of this method has already appeared ; and it is under a persuasion of its great utility that I now endeavour to give it every possible publicity:- In harvesting, two important matters present themselves to the consideration of the farmer—expence of labour and time. A saving of labour, if it protracts the time, is rarely beneficial, as '•it'exposes the crop to additional risk and accident from- bad wea ther ; but every saving in time is a positive advantage. The Swiss method saves both time and labour ; and the loss from shedding, in handling the corn, appears to be less than with us. The main principle of their system consists in - the use of the sithe instead of the sickle. Every one must be aware of the very superior powers of the former instrument ; but in the ordinary mode of using it, notwithstanding the various contrivances of bows, sweeps, cradles, &c., which have been attached to- the sithe to remedy the inconvenience, the corn is thrown _down in such rude heaps, and the ears become so entangled ; that a great loss follows from shedding • and hence farMers have conceived it better to employ six sickles than one sithe. Nay, I have heard it argued when prices were high, that there was good economy in reaping even barley. . • In Switzerland, however, by a very simple contrivance, the objections to the sithe have been completely obviated. Each mower is accompanied by a person bearing a light straight long pole, whose business it is to press the pole in a horizontal posi tion against the stems of the corn which are to be cut, so as to bend the ears considerably away from the mower, and leave him a full, fair, stroke at the aggregated stems. The pole is best made of deal, much about .the thickness of the handle of a sweeping brush, and in SWitzerland is commonly about nine feet in length ; but this must be determined by the nature of the sithe used *, or rather by the sweep or extent of the stroke :. for the person who bears the pole must be out of the reach of all danger from the sithe, and at the same time there must be sufficient length of pole left to press against the whole breadth. or bench of studding corn which -the mower can compass with his sithe. The person who bears the pole, commonly a lad, stands with his face towards the mower, a little to the left of his line of progression, and moves backwards as the other ad , vances. The pole may be held as the bearer finds most con venient; and steadied either against his body or his thigh, ac cording to his height : but care • must be taken that it is held nearly horizontally, and the pole should press on the standing corn, from about six inches to a foot below the ears, so as to give a slOping direction, away from the mower, to the whole quant4 likely to be cut at one stroke. The ears which are thus pressed back never straggle, either during or after the stroke, but slick along the pole ; which, if properly held, keeps them quite even, and they will fall one way, smoothly and re gularly. • Should the corn have been beaten down by rain or storm, the sithe cannot certainly be used with the same advantage, as if it stands erect and healthy ; .the sickle will answer best un der such circumstances. The Swiss, however, are so careful about their crops,. that when fallen, they raise them, in part, by fastening the stems together, and tying them in a direction con trary to that in which they have fallen. Spmetimes they plant stakes through the field, and put small cross bars or rods, from stake to stake, so as to bear the stems up ' and after this the corn may be mowed. But in the case of a fine, even, upright crop, Whether of wheat or other grain, there can be no hesita tion in preferring the sithe anfoi - pole, if properly used, to the sickle.. After the mower has passed on, two or more women or boys (commonly women) follow, whose business it is gently and care fully to spread the corn that has been 'mowed, much in the same way that flax or hemp is spread, in even regular layers. When properly dried, a third operation preparatory to binding is performed by two other persons, commonly women, ,one of whom carries two wands or rods about four feet in length, the other one rod only. The person carrying the two rods thrusts them, one in each hand, under the layer of corn which lies spread cut on the ground ; the person with the single wand, at the same time standing opposite to the other, puts the single, wand under the layer, directly midway between the two oppo site wands. Then the hands are raised, whilst the points of the rods or wands remain on the ground, and thus the corn slides, or is shoved together, in heaps large enough for binding.— If the crop is thin, the gatherings must begin the wider apart, or two gatherings may be united, and great attention dur ing this operation is paid to collecting any scattered or strag gling stems. The same operation may be performed with a long tooth rake ; but the corn is shaken much less when the wands are used. The binders follow those who have collected the heaps : and it is to be particularly noted, that the Swiss do not use the fresh cut corn for bands, but make them at home in the barns, of straw, at some convenient time in advance. When wanted for use, they are carted to the field, and distributed' along the rows. The time spent in knotting the bands in the fields is thus saved, and the loss cf grain from twisting the bands or rubbing against other sheaves in carrying home, is avoided. The advantages derived from this method, and the division,of labour, will be obvious to any person who has once seen the perfect practice ; and I do not think there is any exaggeration in stating, that with the same hands a crop may by such means be saved in half the time. But lam inclined to go further, and express my conviction, that the crop may be saved in half the time with even fewer hands than the sickle requires. Much, however, will certainly depend on the dexterity and willingness of the people employed ; but the mete experiment of the sithe and pole may be tried without any expence or difficulty: In describing this method as Swiss, it is necessary ;to add, that it is by no means general throughout Switzerland, but con fined at present to particular districts : after being once intro duced, however, it is never abandoned ; end I have been told it is spreading very rapidly through the country. There can'be no surer proof of its excellence ; for in a country exposed to ca lamities trom inclement seasons, and where years of scarcity are by no means uncommon, it would certainly not be adopted, if it did not ensure to the husband Man the utmost possible produce from his crop. There is no want of hands in Switzerland; on the contrary, the valleys of Oberland, where I have observed the use of the lithe most prevalent, swarm with inhabitants ; and men, women, and children all work in the fields with the greatest assiduity, beet early and late. I have purposely delayed this publication until the time of harvest was near, under a persuasion that it was likely to pro duce more effect when there was an opportunity of trying the experinieht whilst the subject was fresh in the mind. London, July 16. ISAAC WELL, Jim. * The sithes commonly used in Switzerland havealia;:lt, blades, and I believe are principally of (Irerman manitcture.— The handles are much bent ; and the mower stands tolerably upright.. The sweep is not very great. But the Swiss are ad mirable mowers. I seen patches of grass on the Alps, growing under ledges of rock where no cattle could climb, cut as close and smooth as a dexterous English garden r could shave a grass-plot. They put an exquisite edge on their sithes by hammering; them out on little anvils kept for the purpose, instead of thinning the • edge by a coarse stone as our mowers do ; and their sithes by . this treatment consequently last much longer. The "operation is performed once in a (lair or two ; and the edge is afterwards still fUrther sharpened by a sort of strap or prepared board, finer than ours.

Such are the scenes in Constantinople-, Smyrna, and•particularly i❑ Sy donil. It is hardly possible that the civilized Powers will not interfere, to restrain by force — for force only will, avail—the savage fury of the Turks. Austria is evidently disinclined to the Greek cause, from a jealousy of the aggrandise ment of Russia, and this country and France are understood to be similarly biassed. But there are horrors, and -crimes, and sufferings, which political interest cannot reconcile, without becoming itself inhuman. Of the ultimate suc cess of the Greeks there is every probability, even without the aid of Russia. It is'in the Peloponnesus, and the islands of the Archipelago, that the cause is really to be decided, and not in Walachia or Moldavia. The accouits from Frankfort still maintain the probability of peace between the Porte and Russia, and refer to the favourable state of the Austrian funds ; and an arrangement is spoken of which should guarantee to the Greeks, by treaty between the Turks and some great European Powers, bet ter treatment hencefOrth from the Porte. It g, however,, dle to talk of a treaty with a race so treacherous, savage, and inhuman, over which even a barbarian Government loses all control under the very circumstances where its control would be called for by the treaty. If the Greeks should be again condemned to Turkish dominion, nothing remains for them but to abandon their native soil, and scatter themselves over the world like the. Jews. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

The case, vs stated to the Jiiry by Mr. SCARLET; was•this : the plaintiff was a retired tradesman; the defendant was a stock-broker. The plaintiff had passed his life in business, but having made some money, retired to the country, where, how ever, he did not suffer his capital to lay idle, but learning that money was to be made by ad venturing in the funds, he resolved to embark a large sum in them, and this he placed in the de fendant's hands, being himself totally ignorant of every thing connected with the stocks. Ac cordingly sums of money were paid to-the defen dant from time to time, from July, 1820, to Ja nuary, 1821, and for this he brought the present action. The sums, as before stated, were to be employed in the purchase of stock. A cor respondence ensued between the parties, and at different times sums -were paid over by the defen dant to the plaintiff as the profits on the different transfers of stock made on plaintiff's account. At length the plaintiff was surprised to receive a letter from the defendant, containing an account stated, upon which it appeared that a balance of 7001. appeared due to the defendant, which sum he desired the plaintiff would take an. early opportunity of settling. Instead of pay-' ing 7001. however, for losses incurred in illegal speCulations which he had never contemplatel or . participated in, the plaintiff brought this action to recover back the 11001. which he had placed in the defendant's hands for legal purposes. Two letters were put in by Mr. Scarlett, to prove that the object of the.plaintiff was to have his money legally employed, and that he had never . con templated any thing else. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for the defendant, contended that his client had the greatest reason to complain of deception. So far from the plain tiff being ignorant of stock transactions, he was much used to them, and. perfectly aware how his money Was employed.- , --The Learned Solici tor then produced some letters inevidence r which shewed that the plaintiff was at least a-ware that WO/. of the money had been converted to the purposes of which, by this action", he complained.

THE KING ocrsus WEAVER. This was an information against the defendant for publishing a libel in the Sunday newspaper called John Bull, of and concerning the character of the late Lady Tankervilie. The case had been called on twice, but none of the Special Jurymen impanelled were in attendance. When called on a third time two appeared, when Mr. ScARLETT, for the prosecution, prayed a tales. As soon as the Jury were sworn, the Somcyro GEN ER AL, for the defendant, interposed, and said, it would be quite idle for the defendant to deny the publication of the alleged libel. He must plead guilty, and in another place offer such matter in mitigation as the circumstances of the case afforded. Mr. SCARLETT, for the prosecution, said, that as his Learned Friend made no defence, he should not offer any evidence; but he wished it to be understood that he made no conditions whatever._ It would be fo r the defendant, in another place, to plead in mitigation of pu nishment. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direc tions, found the defendant—Guilty. - MATHEAIS V. OXENFORD. HAWKES V. COSTER. This was an action for defamatory - - words spoken by the defendant of and concerning the plaintiff as a trader. The words set out in 'the different counts of the declaration were—" He had stopt payment"--" He has stopt"—" He is stopt," and he is stopt payment." The de fenclint pleaded the general issue—Not Guilty. The case opened on the part of the plaintiff was this :—The plaintiff is a merchant, and manu facturer, residing in Norwich, of which city he is an alderman. He had had some dealings with Messrs. 'Start and Sharpe, of Wood-street, Chea p sideoand for some goods which he had purchased of them, he was desirous of paying ready money, but they were content to take bills' at three months date, upon a reference being given. Be ,fore the bills became due, they desired payment ja.anticipation, with which the plaintiff complied. Soon afterwards he had similar demands upon him; people became preSsing for their money be fore it was,due. This excited some inquiry,...and he discovered that the defendant, a silk-mercer, of No. 18, Lad-lane, had been circulating a re port that he had stopped payment ; irt conse quence of this, he determined to bring this action, not .So much for the recovery of damages, as for the vindication of his character against slander so injurious to the credit of a merchant. Mr. Henry Sturt, partner in the -house of Sturt and Sharpe, was called to prove:the words. He stated, that in the month of January, 1819, the defendant came' into his counting-house; witness asked him what', was the news ? He answered that a man named Beare had been to his counting-house, and told him that Hawkes, of Norwich, had'stopped payment; to which the defendant replied, cc it cannot be- true." Beare then said he had heard it of a person named Whit more, of the insurance -office, at Norwich. On the 10th•of the previous month of Jz.nuary, wit ness wA talking to the defendant at the door of his counting-house, when the postman came up to deliver letters; and he delivered one to wit ness, which stated that it was reported at Nor wich,that Haukes had stopped payment. Another letter, delivered to the defendant at the same time, stated that the house had stopped payment at Norwich to the amount of 70,0001. without mentioning names. Upon which the defendant, .stated to the witness the purport of the same conversation he had had with Beare _as above mentioned, Under these circumstances, • The.entEr JUSTICE thought the action would not lie, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. OLD BAH,LY. • SINGULAR CASE.—Yesterday James Tao er and Henry .11azokins were indicted for robbing James Cooper, on the 6th inst. of a 101. note. Mr. COOPER described himself as a'gentleman's servant out of place,. and to have been looking in at the window, of a bootmaker, in Middle-row Holborn, on the day mentioned in the indict ment, when he was' accosted by Turner, who represented himself, in the course of conversation, to be a dealer in cattle, and just from,the country. At length he invited the prosecutor to take.sorne porter, and they accordingly adjourned to the Blue Posts in Southampton-buildings. Shortly after, Hawkins came in, and the three entered into conversation on different topics. Hawkins said he was a tradesman, and had come to town for the benefit of medical advice. In, a few minutes after a third party came in, who .appear ed at the time to have no knowledge of the prisoners, and sat apart from them and the witness. At length Hawkins and the stranger began a controversy, which ended in their pretending to lay a wager, and Hawkins appearing disinclined to put hismoney down, the stranger said, " You're a set of poor fellows, and can't muster any money amongst you all." This put the prisoners into a pashion, as the prosecutor thought, and they asked the strangers what they would wager that they did not produce 10/. each. 'Be replied, he would lay them a I/. note each that they did not prodilce so much amongst them all. On this Haw kins asked the prosecutor if he had 10/.? who replied he had at home, and would fetch it in a few minutes. The three then came out together. lie (the witness), on bringing back a t ; ) 10 note, again joined them, and they returned into the house, where the stranger still was, and the wager having been laid, the latter admitted he had lost, but did not offer to pay. Another wager was subsequently laid, relatively to the meaning of a word which the witness did not understand, but he was induced to put his ElO note into a hat with the prisoners' notes (flash notes), the stranger having previously lost, in order to give him an opporfunity of winning back his money- The dictionary was produced, and the pretended stranger was the winner. Witness then asked for his note, but was informed that he had lost the whole EU). This put him in a passion, and he attempted to get possession of it, when Hawkins snatched it up, and they all ran awa v . The prosecutor followed and gave the alarm, when an officer took the two prisoners into custody. The pretended stranger got array, but the prosecutor's note was recovered, having fallen from the hands *of Hawkins.—The officer corroborated this state ment.—The prisoners, in their defence, said the wager was fairly laid, and the prosecutor had lOSty but would not pay. Some "flash" notes found on them were pro duced, similar to those generally used by depre dators of this description. The following is a copy of one of them : " No. 7.
