THE GREEKS.

Letters from Corrit of the 9:h of November give the
news that Ibrahim Pacha had arrived at Navarino, having
left a small garrison at Tripolizzs; that the Turks began
to remove their baggage from before Missolcnghi, which
seemed to indicate that they were about raising the siege;
and that all they hail heard of the Turco-Egyptian feet
was, that a part bad arrived at Rhodes. _ _

A letter which has been received from Count Porro, who
has now resided a twelvemonth at Napoli di Romania, gives
the following intelligence, which we lay before our readers.
It is interesting at the present moment, and, being thus
authenticated, will serve to show that the affairs of Greece
are not so desperate as have been represented

" NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, SHPT. 271
" The English Papers, which we regularly receive here. give a
moat deplorable =omit of affairs in Greece. I feel, therefore, the
greatest satisfaction In informing you, that the intelligence those
papers contain Is, for the greater part, false, and cannot have any
other motive than to depress the Funds, and thus depreciate the
property of many, for the gain of a few ; for example, they mate
that this place cannot hold out long. I. who have co interest in i
deceiving you, usure you that it s provisioned and well provided
with necessaries for two years, and that it has nothing to fear, even
were Ibrahim Pasha to direct ten times the number of troops that
he commands against it. Ibrahim, it is true, marches about in the
Alorea ; but will he be able to resist, during the winter, the desul.
tory warfare of the Greeks, with troops who are accustomed to a
sultry climate, and who, although organized, are unused to bear the
severity of that season in the plains of the Morels ? Allesolunghi
bars of ordeal, and continues to afford, a brilliant example io the
rest of Greece. The rainy season has set in, and the siege meat be
raised in spite of thefirmanr of the Sultan.
" Far from wishing to quit Greece, I am highly contested with
my residence hem. Napoli has a good garrison, and a tolerable
company of artillery recently arrived."

Inset LINEN TEADE.—It would appear, that the Linen
Board of Coleraine, notwithstanding the unanimous re-
commendation of the bleachers and manufacturers of that
district. in favour of a person who had been regularly bred
to the business, and whom the trade considered amply con-
versant with the duties of saltmaster, have appointed an
apothecary, or, perhaps, more correctly speaking, a surgeon,
to be the sole measurer and salernaster of the linen cloth
brought for sale to one of the most important markets in
Ireland. We are in possession of some information con-
nected with the best interest of the linen trade. As soen as
the press of more urgent matter shall enable us to do so,
we shall devote a porliou of our co!umns to this important
subject. The Irish linen trade occupied no inconsiderable
share of the attention of the legislature during the last ses-
sion, and it is, if we are not mistaken, likely to be further
considered its the Srssivn shortly about to commence.—

MARVLEBONE.

Yesterday a middle-aged man, named Thomas Bessilt, was
brought before W. HAOSKINS, Esq., the sitting Magistrate,
charged with obtaining money from several tradesinenunder false
pretences.
It appeared that the prisoner, during the past month, went to
Mr. John Smith, of one of the Paddington wharfs, and talked
very largely of his men, saying he had hones and cans at his com-
mand, and had a large sum of money left him a few days before,
and offered to introduce him to his brother, who he said was
steward to the Duke of Norfolk, and who wanted a clever
mason to carry on extensive stone works for his Grace.
Mr. Smith was extremely obliged to him, believing all he said to
founded on fact; and entered into some conversation, during
which the prisoner said he wanted to pay a bill of 3031., but had
not within 61. of the money, and requested the loan of that sum
for a day or two. Mr. Smith could not refuse so moderate a de-
mand from so good a friend, and gave him the money, but never
saw him after; and ascertained that he had no relation at the
Duke of Norfolk's; and the story about carrying on stone works
was an entire fabrication. The prisoner obtained from Mr.
3layeock, of Augusts-street, a 51. note, under nearly the same pre-
tence, only varying the name, saying that his brother was steward
to the Archbishop of Canterbury. and an introduction to him would
have the effect of putting hundreds in his way.
It was also stated that the prisoner had duped a great number
of the builders and excavators of Paddington'and its vicinity, pro-
mising the work of different noblemen to some, and to others the
excavation of large tracts of land, and the arranging of extensive
plantations; using such plausible stories as completely to throw
them off their guard. In one instance he directed an estimate to be
drawn out for the excavation of a large plot of land, anti the
formation of a capacious park.
The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and was remanded for
another examination.

LA MBETH-STREET.

MISTAxEN IDENTITY.—YestetdaT, two Cyprians, mimed
Shute and Jones, were placed at the bar before Sir D. Williams,
the Magistrate, under the following circumstances:—
In the month of June last, two females of the same class, Jane
Davis and Catherine Ferris, whose haunts wereabout Whitechapel
and its vicinity, were apprehended on a charge of having taken
front the person of Mr. James Marsh, while passing through that
sink of iniquity, Wentworth-street, a considerable sum of motley.
On their being brought beibre the Magistrates at this office,
Mr. Marsh, though repeatedly warned to be upon his guard,
swore positively to their identity, and both females were, in
consequence, committed to Ncwgafe on the capital charge.
Their trial took place at the ensuing sessions, and on the same evi-
dence and the same identification, on the part of the prosecutor,
both were found guilty and sentenced to death. On the esami.
nation before the Magistrates the prisoner Ferris emphatically de-
clared her innocence, and, when the Jury had returned their ver-
dict of guilty, repeated the asseveration in the most fervent man-
ner, and strengthened it by a solemn appeal to the Almighty. So
forcibly at the time did it appear impressed with truth, that Mr.
Sheriff Brown and Mr. IVontner exerted themselves in her favour,
and, while the other prisoner's sentence was commuted to transport-
ation for life, her's Wag mitigated to a specific imprisonment in the
gaol of Newgate. Since then several circumstances have tran-
spired, which tend to justify these gentlemen in the humane line of
conduct they pursued, and exclilpate the unfortunate prisoner from
any participation in the crime for the supposed perpetration of
which she was so near paying the forfeit ot her life. Information
• was within the last week given to Foster, an officer of this esta-
blishment, which led to the apprehension of the prisoners now in
custody. On their being placed at the bar, he requested the Ma-
gistrate to have their examination postponed for a few days, until
Mr. Sheriff Brown and Mr. Wontner could attend, whose evidence
be thought necessary to establish the charge against them.
His Worship complied with the request, and the prisoners were
accordingly remanded.

POLICE.

GUILDHALL
George Field, a drover, was yeStenlay charged with obtaining,
by a fraudulent pretence, the sum of 381. 10s. Od., front Mr. Grit.-
litho, the banker, in Smithfield.
Mr. Henry Walker, of Enfield Highway, farmer, stated, that
he had fur a considerable time employed the pri.oncr as a drover.
and about the 2,ith of September last rent him to London with 12
sheep and ld lambs, with directions to deliver them to 31r. Bruit,
the salesman, who would dispose of them in Smithfield market,
and place the proceeds, as usual, in the hands of Mr. Griffiths,
there to remain until he (the witness) should come to town. Upon
calling subsequently at Mr. G.'s It was discovered that Bente person
had taken out the money paid in by Brutt, and Mr. Griffiths being
satisfied that he had given up the amount without due authority,
paid witness the whole of the money.
Air. Phillip Stills Williamson. clerk to Mr. Griffiths, deposed
to receiving the 38/. 10s. lid. front [lout, on account of Mr. Walker,
sad to paying the same to some person who came in and asked for
Sir. Walker's bill and money, but of whose name lie had no mi.
nute, and of whose person lie had no recollection.
To bring the fact of having received the money home to the pri.
toner, William Jones, a drover, was celled, who stated, that be-
tween one and two months ago he overtook the prisoner upon Forty
Hill, near Enfield, who told him he had done a pretty job. lie
asked him what was the mater ? to which the prisoner answered
that helm] taken.3ll/. of .Mr. Walker's, and he must go away for
it. lie advised him to make up the money again, take it back to
Mr. %Valker, and beg his pardoN; but the prisoner said he could
not manage that, for it was all spent except 161. or 171., which ht
had left in the hands of a woman. After some immaterial conver.
Batton they parted, nod the next time witness saw Mr. Walker lie
mentioned the circumstance to hint.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH.

The Corporation of Drogheda lies presented an Address
to the Lord Primate of Ireland (Lord John Beresford),
to which the following reply was returned by his Grace :
To the Mayor, Sheriffs, Burgesses, and Commons of the Town of
Drogheda.
GENTLEMEN,—The kind manner in which you speak of me in
your Address, and the flattering alumina which you make to my
family, demand my best acknowledgments.
Called by the command of my Sovereign to the high office which
I fill, in our national Church, it is my dury.to watch over her inte-
rests and to endeavour to pmmete her welfare ; but were 1 placed
in a situation of less responsibility, venerating as do, the Aposto-
lie purity of her doctrines, admiring the beautiful simplicity of her
worship, and glorying in the acknowledged moderation of her prin-
ciples, I should use my utmost efforts to upt,olil her bulwarks, and
address my constant prayers to G.-d to do her good. I advert.
Gentlemen, with pleasure, to the munificent piety which prompted
your Citizens, at a former period, to erect, by private subscription
the handsome church which is the ornament of your town ; and I,
must beg to be permitted to express the gratification which I feel,
that the same generous spirit animates you, evinced by the liberal
endowment you have recently made for the establishment of a new
Church. Filling an arduous and anxious situation, I prize the ap-
probation of the wise and good ; but the applause of those whose
example proves them so capable of appreciating kindred exertions,
and whose liberal support of the Established Church so strongly
marks the sincerity of their attachment, stamps a double value on
their approving testimony, and is a cheering encouragement to per-
severance in so great and good a cause.
I accept, with pleasure, the honour you prcpose. of enrolling my
name amongst the number of the freemen of your ancient and
loyal corporation.

NEW STATE CARRIAGE FOR THE SING OF

PORTUGAL.

There has been making, durlng the past year, at the
manufactory of Messrs. Bushnell, Ilormeywill, and Co.,
in Berner's-street, a very splendid state carriage for the
King of Portugal. It is built much in the style of our
King's private state carriage. It has been finished within
these few days, and has attracted the attention of many
foreigners of distinction, and of the nubility and gentry.
The state harness, for eight horses, to correspond,
is exhibited in the same show room, the ornaments of
which are of highly finished workmanship, made of a
composition of metals, which has the appearance of gold.
To give it full effect, a wooden horse is placed in front of
the carriage, painted bay colour, with a black tail and
mane, and fully caparisoned.
The following is a brief description of the carriage, on
which the first-rate artists have been employed :--
The body of' the coach is of rich crimson, the royal
arms, crown, &c. emblazoned in a painted mantle,
on the front, back, side, and centre panels; the four corner
panels represent the arms, surmounted by the regal
crown, supported by military and naval trophies; the bot-
tom of the whole entwined by a well-executed garland of
flowers. The upper parts of the coach are of fine plate
glass, which is encircled with a rich painted bordering of
flowers and figure'. The top of the roof is ornamented
with handsome richly carved and gilded bracelets, which
support the crown and cushion ; the four lamps (one at
each corner) are of rich gilt chased work and cut glass,
and each surmounted by the royal crown. The inside
trimming is of costly crimson silk, and figured silk lace, and
has every appearance of being gold. On the inside
centre of the roof is placed the Order of Christ, the princi-
pal Portuguese Order, in gold and silver embroidery. The
hammer-cloth is very superb; it is made of the most
costly materials, viz. crimson silk velvet, gold lace, and
fringe; the sides and back represent, in gold and silver
embroidery, the same subject as the panels. The coach-
box is supported from the carriage by four dragons, carved
in a masterly manner. The figures which protect the
footman's cushion correspond with the above. Time royal
supporters are dragons, and are in uniion with the last-
mentioned figures.
To make the Portuguese State Equipage completely
English, Mr. Milton, the horse-dealer, was engaged during
the past year to select suitable horses, and he has succeeded
in selecting twelve beautiful bays, which have lately sailed
from England to Portugal, under the charge of English
grooms.

cumstances.. - .

Mary Whitear, wife of a carpenter, residing in Kent-street.
Newington, deposed, that on the 29th of December last, between
eight and nine in the evening, her son (a boy) on coming into the
passage, felt something strike against his foot, and on taking it up,
to said, " Mother, I have got a prize," and gave it to her. She
found it was something wrapped in white flannel and an apron ; on
opening the parcel she sow it was a new-born male child, naked,
with the apron tied round his neck.
Mr. James Hardy, surgeon, deposed that he opened the body
that morning, and found that the lungs contained air and floated in
water. There was a deep mark round the neck, and the navel-
string had not been secured.
The boy's evidence corroborated that of his mother.
The Jury found that the child was born alive, and returned a
verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons un-
known."

although so near its close, and sent for the favoured youth;
the moment he came in view, she ran into the yard to
meet him, exclaiming, " Toni, will you have me To'
which amorous question he lending a compliant ear, her
father immediately sent for a licence, and on Christmas

from the suspicious appearance of the group, he was induced to
watch them at some little distance ; in a minute or two after, one of
them was lifted over the railing, and dropped himself over the area, '
when the rest moved away at a pretty quick pace. Witness. con.

ST. BRIDE'S CHURCH, FLEET'-STREET.

Until the dissolution of Monisteries, by Henry
the patronage of this church was with the Abbot and Con-
vent of Westminster, then a Rectory and afterwards a Vi-
carage ; Edward the Sixth revoked this, but Queen Mary
again restored it to the Abbot and Convent of Westminster,
and Queen Elizabeth (in the second year of her reign) con-
firmed the Dean and Chapter in their rights, and it still
remains in their poss.•ssion. The year of its foundation is
uncertain, but, as three Rectors are found before 1362, it
must have been very ancient; it suffered by the fire in
1666, and was rebuilt in the year 1680, from the design
of that chaste and elegant architect Sir Christopher Wren,
a circumstance that cannot but establish its character as of
the highest order of modern architecture.
