LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, SEPTV4IIER 5, Mi.

Various and contradictory reports prevailed yes-
terday fill the Stock Exchange relative to the pro-
bability of a war between Russia and Turkey, and
the Foods occasionally bore tes►imony to tlwir
ettcco. Console ruse in the morning something more
thine owe per cent. in consequence of a seasonable
hint that the Levant Company had received dis-
patches bona their accredited agents that all dif-
ferruces have heels satisfactorilt• sejusted, but they
fell back again in the course of the day. A letter
front Constantinople, or tat late a date as the 7th of
August,.s•serts that event then Baton STnnaotroste
had not sailed for Odessa, that in the mean time
tie Turkish Govetntnelst haul dispatched two mes-
sengers to St. Petersburg!' with the answer which
the Baron had refused to accept, end that hopes
were entertained 111 Conatatchnople that these mes-
sengers would return before the winds tvottkr be.
come more propitious to the Ambassador's wisher,
and permit him to leave the harbour. This long-
eontinued opposition of the elements to the de-
piction of Baron STitonoNoFF at a juncture so
csitical as the present, savours of something more
than natoral, and gives some consistency to a re-
port noticed in the letter to which we have just

referred, that the Porte, sincere in its desire for
peace, had expressed a wish to the Ambassador
that he should not leave the harbour until the mes-
sengers dispatched to St. Petersburph with the
answer of the Divan to the ultimatums of Russia
had returned to Constantinople. It is also pro-
bable that the other Ambassadors of the Eu-
ropean Powers, if they saw any chance of a pi li
-
cific termination of the pending negoeistion,
have interposed, and dissuaded the Ambassador
from closing, by his abrupt tie**, the doors
of no amicable arrangement of the existing dif-
ferences. Russia appears by the vastness of her
military preparations to have fur some time con-
templated a war as certain. There are three armies,
each of very formidable magnitedr, the smallest
consisting of not less than 150,000 Inc.,, to Le em-
ployed iu the contest, should the proposals he re-
jected. It et-mad seem that Turkey, too, has not
been remiss in her preparations, for besides the im-
mense multitude of troops collected on the Asiatic
side of the Bosphorus, there is said to be a large
army formed in the vicinity of the Prot*, wider
the command of Juin), Micas, wind, we are told
is glowing with sill the unimation of religioes zeal,
and is deeply impressed with a confidence of vic-
tory. The Musstslitions are fatalists, but the na-
tural courage of the Turks prevents them from re-
posing in the day of battle upon, nay other mom*
of success. The farce of the army under Jussve
is not mention. d, but we fiiul from various ac-
counts that it does not occupy its present positions
undisturbed, fur the remains of YrsstAwri's army
sppearialf, occasionally tat small detached bodies,
skirmish with the smeller corps of the Tarkiali
army, intercept supplies, end cut off the straggling
potties. A desultory waefare of this nature must
exhaust the patience slid strength of arr
!dined army, arid will. daily become more formi-
dable front the increased experience and courage
of the meadows. From such men, acting upon
their unguarded and vulnerable points, the Turks
must, its the event of a Russian invasion, eirpre•
bend the most fatal consequences, while the ex-
ample of these Free corps will most probably be
communicated to every province in the ratline, and
tracts the Chsi.tians the &milky with which they
might conquer their oppressors.
But upon the consequences of an Invasion it is.
idle to dwell while the question of a war instill kl
doubt. We callow, •howeverf, avoid expressing en
opprthension of what the fate of the Greeks in the
Mores an the Wands must be, should the differ-
ences between Russia and the Porte be adjusted,
and the insurgents refuse to lay down their arms.
There does not appear to be a perfect unity of pur-
pose and feeling among the Greeks, nor are there
any traits among them of that glorious devotion to
the service of the.., country which gave their sweetest
• charm to the remoter pages of their history. They
traverse the plains of Plaque and of Motatlion,.
and feel no stirrings of patriotistn ; they look
over the Straits of Salamis, and toe indifferent
to. the honours of their eountry. Not even the
brotul oppression of the Turks is able to rouse
them to a sense of the dignity of freedom
they have never tamed its blessings, surd are there-
(WV incepwbk 01. appreciating its valise. Lt
only from the pirates of the leanings that any
serious opposition can be expected to the power of
the Ottoman Empire; but when the- fear of a Rus-
sian invasion is removed, the armies of Turks
now assembled in Asia and Europe will pour their
, overwhelming force into Greece, and hear down all
re-istance. The opportunity of effecting the work
of their liberatiou is passing away, and we still find
the Tusks in possession of the principal fortresses
in Greece,.and of the largest and must considerable
islands in the Archipelago. We do not hear of an
orgaiiisedr Greek army, nor have the occasional
skirmishes between the Greeks and Turks in
the Mores borne- as yet a character sufficiently
important or decisive as to confer upon any Chief-
tain a superior claim beyond his fellows to the
respect and confidence of his countrymea. The
want of some such Chief, whose persoissl at-
tributes might corni,viisate for the deficiency of
!qui powers, is a serious drawback from the fa-
vourable prospects of the Greeks; but should a
Senate be actually formed, as we are told, at Lynn.
dui, in the Marra, such a measure will no &oh/
have the effect of giving to the Greeks an ninny of
power and purpose.

INSOLFINT Dierokr.COUßA
OLD BAILEY, Timm, Stmatusa 4. I
John Armitage was opposed by Mr. PoLLoct os
the part of the Earl of narewood, and Mr.
Parker, his steward. The Insolvent was a butcher,
and had ►esided at Hull, Leeds, and Fulford,
in Yorkshire, and at Poplar, Sr. Georges-fields,
and London-road. At most of these places he
had contracted some debts. He had bought
some collie of Mr. P.trker and some sheep,
which were the property of Lord Ilarewood, only a
fortnight before be heft Leeds; and, as his embar-
rassments then *amounted to 500/. and upwards, and
since increased to 9001. M►. Pollock contended he
could have no reasonable expectation of being able
to osy his clients, who had instructed him to op.
pose his discharge, not so much for the amount of
the debts due them, which were only trifling, as
the punishment of conduct which appeared so
highly blameable.
In explanation the Insolvent stated, that at the
tinlj lie had the sheep from Mr. Parker, he was
dealing also with other persons, anal was turning its
his trade as a butcher 50/. a week. He had a wife
and eight children, and had debts in bin books to
the amount of goo/.
The COURT thought this case was distingnished
from others which came before it. Here the Insol-
vent had • business, and his embarrassments might
easily be conceived to 'rise from the common casu-
alties of trade ■nd his numerous family. The
Court, therefore, ordered him to be discharged.
Henry Sedgoick was opposed by Mr. HEATH, on
the ground that his client bad been put to a vexa-
tious and unnecessary expeme by Ole Insolvent, in
removing the cause out of the Pallice Court and
afterwards bringing a writ of error ; and also berau•e
the debt was for damages for a malicious injury
in breaking open his client's door. The liivolvent
hail also declared that he could have got the busi-
ness settled by Mr. Parker, but that sooner than
Healey should have the motley he would rather
rot in gaol.
The COURT intimated, that the points insisted
on by the Learned Counsel had already been
decided not to come within the 18t11 sectiou of the
Art of Parliament.
Mr. HEATH then submitted that this was one of
those eases in which the Court had a discretionary
!tower to remand for not longer than six months,
agreeably to the 16th section of the Act of Parlia-
ment.

Mr. POLLOCK, for the Insolvent, stated, that
in the original case there were cross indictments.
and • great deal of ill blond between the parties,
but lie was sure the Court would not. on that •c-
-count, visit the insolvent with a vindictive punish-
ment.
The COURT conceived the conduct of the 10.
solvent had been of that description to justify the
Court in considering him as a proper object for the
exercise of that discretionary power with which the
Court was invested by the Act of Parliament.
The Insolvent was accordingly 'emended for six
months.

FRIGATF('L EVENT.

The conversation of all Pat is turns on • Mandist 'veal
which tool place two dais since at the Imam of M. M. Moat-
tier, a money changer, in the street de la Fronted,. At •
late hour of the evening, a person who it has been since ascer-
tained had just left a gambling house, where he had lost all
his property, entered the horse. There was only • young
female servant at the counter. Madame Mastitis" and her
nephew were in the beck shop. The man, when be entered,
closed the door, stabbed the servant with a poniard, and
seised • •basket foll of gold. Madame Muuttier and her
nephew rushed forward, end were both stabbed by the
assassin, who escaped from the house and remelted t►e
street de In Vrilliere. Two young men eauieaeouring to
seize the miscreant, were both wounded, one of them dan-
gerously. An old man, who was going quietly along, was
also stabbed hr the furious wretch. He was at length seised
by a patrol of gendarme; but even in the moment of his
arrest, he made an ins &cilia! attempt to wound one of the
military. He was conducted to the guard house as the Hank,
but be had hardly frittered, when he suddenly drew a pistol
from his pocket and blew out hie Waists. Nothing was
found un his person which might lead to • discovery of the
monster —(Consillal(ossel.)
The Mosileur stales, that three of the persons wounded
are since dead, and it is feared two others will out survive.

We learn with pleasure from some of the Medi-
cal Gentlemen of elm. city, that fever and dysentery

A decent, well-conducted woman, the mother of

heck got sonic credit amongst the poor for his won-
derful cures. As soon as the quack •rrived, he
ordered a pint of lir4itay, in which he Wilt seen to

On IVedipesday last the Sovereigit steam yacht,
which hus been for some time past building at
Stourport, for the purpose of navigstitig the
I Severn between that place and Gloucester, was
launelted there. This vessel was built in a very
superior style, and is peculiar in her construction,
both as reg irds her hull and the machinery by which
she is to he impelled. Her external appearance iv
exceednigly handsome, sod the cabins are fitted
op in a corresponding style of liberality and taste.
Notwithstaisiling the unpropitious state of the
westlirr, the novelty of the scene, and the interest
excited in the success of the undertaking, attracted
a vast concourse of persons to witness the launch.
The whole passed off exceedingly well, with the
exception of a single accident, and that, we re-
gret to state, was of a serious nature. Previous to
the launch taking plaice, 21 pieces of cannon were
tired at intervals. Upon the commeocemviit of
the firing of the second salute, Captam SANDOM
observed to the person who was discharging the
guns (end who was in no way connected with the
yacht), that from the report they made, he was
convinced they were overinflated, and recommended
him not to use so much pswder. Confident, how-
ever, in his owls judgment, he disregarded the
fricailly caution ; and the melancholy result was,
that nit applying the match to the filth gun it burst,
mid killed him on the spot. ►

FORGERY OF THE DUTY AND HALL MARKS ON

Jeremy Calklet the silversmith, who sap examined some
time wince on • charge of lowlier forged lie Hall and duty
marks se plate, underwent a Taal examination. No new
evidence was adduced that I. in any way material, and upon
the evidence Ara laddered he was fully-committed for trial.
It was stated, that the crime of forging the Hall and duty
marks had been committed of late to such an enormous cu-
test, that the drawbacks received on plate at the Custom
Howie, notwithstanding constant vigilaarc, exceeded the
receipts of the Hall. The export of gold ring' with forged
stamps has bee. carried to an extent particularly beyond any
ether articles, and we are informed that it is is eontemplation
to abolish the drawback entirely. We sire informed that more
then two third, of the exporters are Jews.
