The obliging kindness of Admiral Blade (Mortimer
Paths) having provided me at Constantinople with
an order fora weep by any Turkish meaner that
might touch at Trebizond at route for the Circassian
west, I shipped in the Peggi Shorter on the afternoon
of the 9th, and, after witnuesing the usual amount of
seedless and most ssoisq contusion with which sea-
going followers of the Prophet screw their energies
to the starting paint, left the latter port about a
couple of hours before sundown for Estonia. At the
I very outset the captain intimated that he could give
no better nosommodation than six feet by three of
the cabin Boor, and that spare provisions be had none;
bat, se I had foremen this, and oome suitably pro-
vided with my own bedding and stores, this promptly
hinted scantiness of entertainment matterednot, nor,
I the weather being fine, did it in any way detract from
' the expected pleasure of the trip. Shortly atter sun-
' set we touched at Bonnet:eh, a small place some 26
miles east of Trebisood, to embark sheep for the army,
but se the contractor, a Turk, insisted on delivering
them by weight instead of by number, the captain
refused to receive them, and thereupon followed sash
a scene of angry gesticulation and reciprocal abase=
I have sot often listened to between Mussels=
combatants; but the contractor getting the west
it, finally yielded the point, and the animals having
been embarked we sailed again goon after midnight.
From this lively of tongues, in which, by
the way, the female re *see of the respective die.
potent* were spoken of in terms of marked disrespect.
I learned that it is a common trick with the contra*.
tors to engage to supply their animals, both oxen sad
sheep, by weight, and then, jog before their delivery
on shipboard, to fill them with cold water by mesas
of previously induced thirst, receiving the skippeen
receipt for the gross weight embarked, on the whole
not a bad illustration of the effect of advancing
civilisation on the commercial morality and ingenuity
of our polygamis allies.
About ten o'clock on the following morning we
reached Bothnia, and there found the admiral's ship,
with the latter dignitary—Achroet Poch' himself—.
ea board. As the captain of the Peggi Shute,/ bed
insisted on interpreting my Constantinople oldie es
entitling me may to a single passage freak Trebi-
sond, I deemed it best to serer* myself against pos-
sible future inconvenience by procuring a new docu-
ment so worded as to defy similar obtuseness of
intellect again ; and for this purpose went on board.
the Pachars ship soon after we dropped anchor. O
the production of my travelling finnan the old NNW
very readily gave me the required paper, and other►
wise offered to make himself useful in any way I
could suggest. As I have since had occasion te
!faro, however, his Excellency was even less verbally
amanita in this new order than the author of
the writing from Stamboul. It may seem unhandsome
after his civility, to record a remark on the extreme
dirtiness and slovenly confusion that offended the eye,
the nose, and the ear all over Achmet's Bag-ship;
but such topsy-turvy disorder and utter neglect of
the commonest cleanliness I have seldom seen in a
merchant vessel, and
over the black deck lay single blocks, handspikes,
uncoiled ropes, round shot, lumps of coal, shreds of
vegetables ling from the cook's gurney, water-
buckets, and whatever else the rigging and upper
furniture of the ship 000ld contribute towards a
litter; whilst below, on the main-deck, the eye fell
upon confusion still worse confounded, and the olfse-
Weis scooted einneets of still graver nasal offence
than above. Certainly, if his excellency's seaman-
ship be at all on a par with the discipline kept up on
board his vessel, it is an easy matter to =demoted
how the finest ships of war are all bat melees in
Tarkish hands.

Altheegh nothing could be more urgent, seeing that but
a few days separate no from the opening of the Coalmine,
tie Assembly did not think fit to derogate from the tradi-
tional downers of its notices. Instead of deliberating
luneedista/y, it has referred the preposition to its soup
naittees. It is probable that the Coeferemess will have
b-gen before the Diet will have made up its mind.
A letter from Vienna in the Poet•dmpt Gaulle
says:—" Count Boot yesterday pie a grand dinner,
at which Baron de Boorqueney, Sir Hamilton Sey-
mour, Prinoe GortchakoB Baron de Stackelberg, and
other persons of note were present. The Spanish
Minister will give a dinner to-morrow, to which
Prince Cortchekoff has been invited."
A letter from St. Petersburg of the 29th ult., in
the asistdstimusel, says:
" The Cur the day before yesterday said to Count
Valentine Eaterhazy, who sines the adhesion has

become one of the temiliara of the Winter Palace,

' Monsieur le Comte, I set more value than I can
express to you on the relations of friesdahip which
bind me to the Emperor of Austria ; in yielding to the
wishes of Germany, of which his Majesty his made
hissedf the organ, I have given him an indubitable
proof of the *freedom with which he has inspired me.
Bet I cannot allow you to he ignorant of the fact
that I have always felt a warm sympathy towards
Frame. I love that country, which develops the
progress of civilisation and the wonders of art and
industry, and I feel the greatest esteem for the chief
which she has chosen, and who, in exchange for a
crown, gays her repose and glory, and placed her
at the head of station.'"

At Odessa and several manufacturing towns of the
south of Resta all the houses were illusional on
the evening when the news of the Imperial decision
of the 18th January reached them. At Odessa, in
particular, the commercial community expressed the
greatest delight, sad It was decided at the Mechaaien
Club that an address*/ congratirlatim should be seat
to the Emperor.

THE LAST RUSSIAN CIRCULAR DESPATCH

The Dfbaeo of this day has the following:—"The

Almost the last Turkish village on this eastern
shore of the Black Sea, Batoum, is nothing more than
a double row of wretched wooden hats along the
strand of a swampy flat that for nearly half the year
exhales the most unwholesome miasmatic vapours,
and for this reason is regularly abandoned by its
native Las population from about the middle of April
till the end of September, when they return from
the mountains for the winter, and drive a miserable
retail trade in Manchester cottons, German cutlery.
and the fruit of the country. Besides this ricketty
bazaar there is only a couple of other buildings ut
any way At for basun habitation, and in one of these
a Men* consul subjsubject.himmelf to a wise of patho-
logies' experiments in the study of intermittent fever
for nearly six maths of the year, employing the
remaining half doses in the pursuit of woodcock and
quails; whilst the other hovel is used as an hospital
for the Tanaka sick, of whom almost half the mili-
tory fore* now here is composed. Of some 19,800 of
these wretched Africans who were collected here in
the heniae of last spring, more than two-third'
have either been swept off by disease sad hardships,
or been drafted away in the last stage of illness to
die on the voyage back to Task, as no adequate hos-
pital setommodation is provided for them at Oconee-
deep's whilst not 600 men of the missrable remnant
now at Bennis are fit for the smallest active servioe.
Before dawn on Thursday moraine the Peggi
Shored was again under weigh, sad as she steamed
close in along the shore, I had a good view of
the lineritian west from its micanisonnment at Fort
St. Nieholso—the most southern of the RIMINI sea

the night the weather had altered for the wane,
and as heavy messes of watery cloud hung over and
around the distant hills to the 'oath-oast, giving rely
beoksa glimpse of twit snow-crowned summits mos
or twice in the whole course of the morning, the no-
relieved eye saw nothing but this long forest level
till we approached the mouth of the river Poti,
when a sadden sharing up of the sky revealed the

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
This DAY.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

POWS'S' OF £TTOZNET.-111POIMAArry.

Hie Honour said that, in • case of prive.tearrangement,
which was before him, a question had asi ikaTi u to whether
certain powers of attorney were valid. I.n thews private sr-
rengemeats the ezpe.rience of the court e.howed quite plainly,
that few creditors thought fit to attack personally at the sit-
tings under tires arrangemen'a, bat they um-
', mostly sent powers of attorney, so much so, as
very muck to tend te defeat the object of the
act which wee to have the boss fide opinion of the
enditors themselves upon the proposition. This practice
tended is reality to place the assent or dissent in the hands
el the attorney. He gut up, as it was called in cowman
parlance, the magenta end dissents—cot the dissents, that
would not suit his views,—but the ‘AllSellill—producing
these powers of attorney to show his authority.
It, therefore, became important to wsteh these
powers, sad to see that they were regularly and pro-
perly executed. In this case there was • defect in the
powers, arising probably from parties having got bold of •
printed fora and misapplied it. It Wes filled up in this way:
" Know all men that I, sale proprietor of
—, by them pretests, Josh make, order, constitute, and
appoint his true and lawful attorney, for Ann and in
' his name," &o. It might be said that this variance ought
not to defeat the object, but in • ease like this, matters of
for.. were matters of substance; and this gelatin', slight
as it seemed, might hereafter have the effect of vitiating all
the proceedings. The informality must be amended, and
if necessary the sitting would be adjourned, for the put-
; pose of petting other powers executed.
I It appearing that there were sufficient assets, without the
into:mel powers, an adjournment was not necessary.

[The folkwing is a complete report of the above caw, of
wench we were only able to invert a minute portion on
Thursday evening.]
This was the adjourned examination meeting In the ease
of Alexander Join bodies, coal merchant and gas contractor,
of Conduit street and Herne Bay. The mounts have
already appeared in detail. At the last meeting an adjourn-
, meat was ordered, that the bankrupt might tarnish addi-
timid seeountr. -

Mr. Baxley, who appeared for the assignees, paid the
bankrupt had filed aod.tional accounts, and be withad to
pet some questions to him arising oat of those accounts.
The tank rapt, being examined, raid-1a my amended
*alb account, I debit myself,
with 1,0001. received from the Travellers' Life oilloe. Oa
the same date, I credit sat relf with 160/. p to F Chap-
for as ateommodaties bill. Mr. Chappell paid himself.
Htlledoeted that sum oat of it.

Mr. Bagley—Did you pay him yourself?
Baskrupt—l did; but the mosey 66666 came into my
bmide—be deducted it. He did sot tall me that it wea for
t atenumodatioa bill ; bet my came beteg on it, I knew
it was on.

Mr. Bagley—What became of tl at bill ?
Bankrupt—Mr brother pet it into the fire, in Mr. Char-
ade. room, 26, Goldet-souare, in Mr. Chsppell's presence.
It was not in my presence. My brother told me the bill
was burnt. That is the only way I know it. The parties
to the bill were my brother Frederick and myself. 1 don't
know whittle was the drawer and which lb* acceptor. Mr.
Chappell wrote it on a piece cf potter that he had deducted
160/. He did not telt ine so. I saw it with my own eyes.
Mr. Bagley—What did you see with your own eyes?
Baukriapt—The piece el paper which Mr. Chappell gave
me and him too. There was on that paper, "Deducted for
Ake fees 16/., 101. for Mr. Chappell's procuration fee (that
is, for getting the money) ; 1601. for bill." The paper is
lost There was aim no item of 421. 12s. 2d. for premiums.
Mr. Reed (who appeared for the bankrupt) said he
should call on Mr. Chappell, who had a copy et this sec mot,
te produce it.
Mr. Chappell laid be was quit, ready to do so in proper
tuna.

His Hoc oar thought It had better be produced at ewe.
Mr. Bagley said he should put Mr. Chappell ia the tot,
and be would then produes the anoint.
Blealnatioa resumed-There was nothing farther on
the aper. I got it from Chappell on the 21st of Novem-
ber, 1834. Ne one but himself was present. I kept the
paper for about *ix Wostbe, and then I hat it.
The payment of 101. to Mr. Chappell is incorrectly
steed as inure it; it was for his procuration fee He told
me so. He mid, "Whet an I to have for my trouble is
getting this money /-wi I 101. be too much 1" I said
notbieg, bat let him put it down, and he &dusted that
automat. It was pat down on the paper as "fee to
F. P. C 10/." Of the officio fats of 151., my brother paid
91., r r three-fifths, and I paid 6i. This item is incorrectly
described es interest. There was no interest charged *Knot
101. on the accommodation bill. Mr Chappell gave my
brother 1601. for the bill, and be took 104 for fourteen
days' discount I know this by his sosinat. I had
Boas of the 1601. myself. My brother told me that he mil,
got 1604 on the 1601. bill. 1 never authorised the payment
of 101. ditkoaat I will swear say beother did not receive
the 104 1 will not swear that it was kept back by Mr.
Chappell ler discount. The 42/. pet down as
premiums I arrive at by deducting the 7721. which 1
reesived, the 1604 for the bill, and the other items, from
1,0001. Under date December 19, 1854, is ay cash a-
coast, there is an item, " F. Leelle oaid F. P. Chappell,
for as accommoiation bill, 1061." I paid that
money se teat day to Mr. Chappell hneself. I
took ft to No. 26, Oradea-square, whore his
discounting office war. It was paid by cheque. The
cheque will be with the official assignee. I am son it was
for an macommodatios bill between my brother and
myself-at least it was f. r my brother. I never hod
the bill. It was put in the Ire by my brother, in Mr.
Ctiappell's preemie The bill was only for 1001. ; but Mr.
Chappell toll as it was foe 1051., and I wrote a
cheque for that amoutt. But after a considerable
times Mr. Chappell repaid the 61. to my brother,
end he repaid it to me. I don't know whothe my bro-her
le sow in Leaden. I lest saw him about ten days go He
was going away. I was set In any business for myself till

1,0001. was advance d by the company on that proposal. He
applied to me to obtain a loan of 1,11001. 1 sant out for a

to hie dictation. Every word was to his dictation. I

was so. I asked how ling be bad been in business, and he

I had reason to know that it would be crested ; I therefore
consented to make tee &deuce to Frederick, with the
authority of his brother, sad did so after reec.ving his
authority. That advance had nothiog to do with any bill

Had he (the learned militant) known the inf.moas charac-

The Attorney-6 I, shortly after one o'clock, pro-
ceeded to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and he
iatimaed his intention to cell witnesses whose evidence,
he said, would be a complete answer to the testimony of
the principal witness for the promcation.
A number of witarsees were in attendance, and it wee
expected that the trial would last till a late hour of the day.
