The news from Greece in the French Papers, which we
received last night, is, we regret to say, of a very unsatis-
factory nature. We are afraid that there is no truth in
the report respecting the capture of ISRAHIK PACHA.
. At the date of the latest accounts he was still encamped on

the plains of Tripolizza. It appears certain, however, that
the Egyptian Commander was wounded in an encounter
with COLOCOTRONI ; and according to one statement he
has been wounded a second time in a battle of a more
serious character, the result of which is not announced.
In all the intelligence we have from the Mores
there is so much obscurity, that it is difficult to
strive at any knowledge of what is passing there.
• All that we can learn of the present state of the contest is,
• that ID RIMINI Pscna remained at Tripolizza, but whether
from choice or necessity we know not. One fact also is
quite clear, viz. that the Austrian Government is lending
. its aid in every way to accomplish the subjugation•of the
• Greeks. The Turkish transports, which are mostly
' Austrian vessels, are protected by Austrian ships of war
• from the attacks of the Greek fleet. It is reported that the
Puha of Egypt is fitting out another expedition, as pow-
• erful as the former. From what source can be derive a
revenue equal to 'Such expenses? All the profits of his
• new cotton trade can hardly be sufficient to have qualified
• 'bins for another effort of the saute magnitude with that
which he confided to his son's command. We therefore
• disbelieve the fact. We shall be able to form no accurate

judgment as to the probable result of the campaign till we
Lave somo official or authentic despatches from the seat of
war.

Ti• c state of Spain every day approaches more nearly to I
iLs ci Isis. The Royal authority cannot be much longer up-
without the interference of France. Since the forma-
tior: of the camp on the frontiers the Monks have preached
more violently than ever against the French: their
sermons arc 'filled with the strongest provocations of the
fury of the populace against their late friends and allies,
whom they now stigmatize as hisolent intruders. The
KING has issued a I)ecree suppressing all the military and
permament executive commissions, which were established
in ill the capital towns of the kingdom and the Balearic
Islands, by order of the Royal Decree of Jan. 13, 19'24,
General MIRANDA is appointed second in command in the I
island of Cuba. This General distinguished himself in
dispersing the troops of RIEGO.
The emorial Bordelna, in its correspondence from
Madrid, states the following fact:—
" M. Gregory writes to his correspondent at Madrid, that all
hope of a loan in England was at an end, whatever might Le the
proposals made by Spain. The Englisluusn who has been here
during the last month, arid who offers to supply the Spanish
government with some Austrian vends now lying at Trieste, be-
gins to lose his patience. lie is making preparations for his de-
putises."

Connected with this subject, we observe the following
paragraph in the Journal de Toulouse
By advices from Madrid of the Ilth, we learn that the depar.
toe of M. Tessin for Paris, on his return from La crania, has
git en rise to many conjectures in the Spanish capital. It is gene-
rally believed that important negotiations are pending. The pe-
culiar situation occupied by M. Tessin, the experience he has ac.

gaited durint his stay i 2 Madrid, his wise and moderate views in
political and financial matters—all these considerations induce the
Spaniards to hope that his journey will be attended with favourable
results, and that the condition of the finances of Spain will shortly
be improved." _ _

The Spanish Government has one obvious course to fol-
low, if, in order to improve its finances, it is willing to act
fairly and honourably to all its creditors. If it persists in
refusing to do justice to any portion of them, no expedient
can restore its credit.
The following are extracts from the Paris journals:—
[From the Etoik dated Wednesday.]
PARIS, MTG. 23.

A letter which we received from Corfu contains the following
news d ela flechelle arrived from Pegs on the 17th inst.
(July). lie entered the Lament) the 21st, where lie is treated with
all desirable attention. He has even obtained the rare favour of
making theSpoglio a formality, which consists in plunging into
water, afterwards to put on other clothes, and to perform 14 days,'
quarantine, instead of 27. He will leave the Lazaretto the 7th of
next month.

It is affirmed that a correspondence with the Tarts has been dis-
covered at Missolongi. Two Englishmen have been shot, and se-
veral others thrown into prison, in consequence of this discovery.
It is affirmed that Colocotroni is eager to use a violent re-action
against the individuals of the party which was oppo►ed to him,
and that he has them arrested and shot on the most frivolous pre-
text.

It is confirmed that the convoys which follow the Turkish fleet
are protected by the Austrian ships of war, most of the transports
being Austrian vessels. A vessel which has arrived at Alexandria,
after a pretty long paasage, brings the news that another expedition
was preparing in Egypt u strong as the first, and it is asserted
that the greater part of the Egyptian fleet is gone to fetch it. An
inhabitant of this island has received the following letter, written by
an offices in the suite of the Capitan.Pacha, dated 10th July :
__

"We arrived to-day at two o'clock in the afternoon at Kriog.
urys, near to slissolonglii. A Tartar has come from Redschid
Pacha to inform the Capitan Pacha, that it would take two days
more to fill up the ditches of Missolonghi—that the place is in
a very bad condition, and that it will be taken as soon as it
can be attacked—that Jusuff Puha has made himself master of
Vostins—that Redictin Pacha has also sent troops 'to Salons, and
has penetrated into that town—that all the roads are open on the
side towards Peeves. and Negropont ; in short, that Ibrahim
Puha is master of almost the whole of the Mores. I cannot tell
you any more at present, as we are just arrived, and the Tartar is
going to depart."
Letters from Preemie of the 25th July, announce that Ibrahim
Puha was blockaded in Tripoli= by: Demetrius Ypsilanti, in
consequence of a check sustained by the troops which landed at
Navarino. It is certain ,that this Egyptian has been wounded in
the left shoulder, in an affair which took place between him and
Colocotroni. It was affirmed at Zante, that this General had
joined the forces of Ibrahim, and that the Greek Government, in
despair at this desertion, had hoisted the English colours. This
news was immediately contradicted. It seems certain, on the con-
trary, that a very serious action has taken place in the plains of
Tripolizza, and that Ibrahim Pacha received there a second wound.
(From the Journal des Debar of Tuesday.)

CONSTANTINOPLI, JULY 15.

The Porte, which does not desire that its subjects should reason
upon politics, has forbidden the news from Greece to be spoken of
in the public places. The diplomatic body at Pera is against the
Greeks, so that it is difficult to judge of the true state of affairs.
According to the official communications made to the Chief Officers

of the State the news from the Mores is always in favour of the
Turks; that Ibrahim Pacha, whose attempt upon the post of the
Hilts would have succeeded had it not been for the assistance some
French officers gave the Greeks, has retreated to Tripolizza, 'but
Hussein Pacha, who had landed at Navarino with 3,000 men,
joined him soon afterwards. It is thought, therefore, that he will
immediately resume offensive operations.
The Porte has sent a very bitter note to the English Legation,
complaining of the assistance and encouragement which the Greeks
of Napoli di Romania had received from the Naval Commander on
that station. It is even said, that after the fight the English occu-
pied the citadel of Napoli. This, however, is not very probable;
but it appears certain that the English Cabiset has changed its
opinion with respect to the affairs of Greens, and favours the
ilnsurgents.

The Amsterdam Papers of iVednesday arrived last
night. The Journalists of Brussels, it appears, are alarmed
at the intended application of the lithographical process to
the reprinting of the French newspapers in that city.
This seems to be an evil which the Government of the
Netherlands is called upon to suppress, in defence of the
interests of the State, as well as for the protection of the
property of the Belgic Journalists, who ought not, in
common justice, to be exposed to so ruinous a competition.
The public authorities of Antwerp have, very properly,
ordered proceedings to be instituted against some of the old
ecclesiastics who have been exciting alarm and uneasiness
in the mind■ of the purchasers of national domains. This
is a salutary measure. Nothing less severe will prevent
the revival of those claims, by which the tranquillity of
and welfare of the community will, while they are per-
mitted, be always agitated.
The Austrian Government, we learn by an article from
Trieste, is throwing off every semblance of neutrality with
regard to the Greek contest. Permission has been formally
given to a merchant of that city to build, in the arsenal of
Venice, a frigate of .56 or 60 guns, for the Pacha of EGlr rr,
and all the materials will be furnished from the public ma-
gazine at the Tariff prices. All doubt seems ended with
respect to the private marriage of the Archduchess Altair A
LOL ISA to her Gentleman Usher, the Count de Nei PPE sr:.
In addition to the other honours lately conferred on him by
the Emperor of AUSTRIA, he is shortly to be created a
Prince.

The Times of yesterday, no doubt, from the want of other
topics of more immediate interest, selected the conduct of Mr.
JrSTICE BAYLEY, in a trial which took place at Lancaster,
on the last day of the Assizes, as affording ground for
public animadversion. The case adverted to is, that of the
man prosecuted for an assault on MARY TE•EDAL e, with
intent, &c., in which the Learned Judge interrupted the
cross-examination by putting it to the Counsel for the
Crown, whether be would proceed in the case after what
had then appeared. The journalist takes offence at this
interruption, as tending to preclude the strict administra-
tion of penal justice. Now, why the time of the Court
should be exhausted in striving to establish a charge which
there can manifestly be no sufficient evidence behind to
support, we really do nut see. An advocate may display
an abundance of ingenuity and talent, long after he is him-
self conscious that lie is on the wrong side. The Judge,
whose mind is solely intent upon the bearings of the
evidence, and who keeps strictly in view the nature and
relevancy of the proof, may be allowed, we think, without
blame, to suggest to the Counsel, whether, if be has no
better evidence to substantiate his cue, he may think it
worth while to plinth: it further? For, be it remembered,
that it is during the prosecutor's charge, not the prisoner's
defence, that the suggestion is thrown out, and it would be
a novel imputation against a Judge, that in a criminal case
he took part against the interests of public justice. The
particulars of the charge in question are not of a nature that
should induce us to pursue them into any length of dis-
cussion; we may, however, say, salvo pudore, that we
think the Learned Judge's comment on the conduct of
NI ARV T E A lIDA L E fairly justified the conclusion drawn from
it, that the charge against the accused could not consistently
be supported.

" There is still one more point," says the writer, " worth

notice in this interesting trial : 11/41r. Justice 'Balmer ac-
'counted for his own interference on the ground that he
had seen the depositions,'—inferring, of course, an incon-
sistency between them and the parole evidence which the
Jury had heard. This, again, we submit with all humi-
lity, is not a fair plea for stopping a criminal prosecution.
If the. Judge meant to rely on a discrepancy between the
evidence and the depositions before the Magistrate, he
ought to have let the Jury themselves hear the depositions
read by the proper officer, and judge whether the incon-
sistency was real, or a pure fancy of the Judge. There is
an end of trial by Jury, if the Judge can, by his own
unsupported construction of examinations which are not
produced, overturn the whole evidence on the trial, and
thus substitute his dictuik for the verdict of twelve jury-
men. The prejudice of a Learned Judge in a cause may
not be criminal—his anxiety for the prisoner may result
' from a laudable feeling ; but neither one nor the other
ought to be permitted to impede the course of justice."
These exceptions are takes in the mere spirit of cavilling.
Mr. Justice BAYLZY had seen the depositions, and he
was surely competent to judge if they were insuf-
ficient to sustain the charge ; in which cue, as the ac-
cuser could not be permitted, by swearing to new matter,
to supply the deficiency, the ends of justice, so far from
being impeded by putting a stop to such an attempt, could
not have been forwarded by any other course. The Counsel
for the prosecution must also have seen the depositions, and
was not likely to have acquiesced in any erroneous con-
struction of them—to I" Ar tz ?edge " thus substituting
his dictum for the verdao. 41/try," is therefore mere de-
clamation. It is fortunate, after all, that we live in times
when a Judge is attacked for administering the law in a
criminal case, upon a principle too favourable to the pri-
soner. We know of no other country in which those who
preside in its criminal tribunals can be charged with inter-
posing a check in favour of a too scrupulous justice.
Those who are versed in English history might readily re-
fer to a time when the depositaries of judicial power ex-
posed themselves to a very opposite accusation. And with
the -records which the past furnishes to our recollection, we
shall never be forward to quarrel with our Judges for the
over•anxiety they may manifest to protect the accused
from being entangled by improper evidence, or suffering
from an unjust verdict.

In our police intelligence it will be observed, and we are
sure with regret by all the true friends of Sir RICHARD
BIRNIE, that he has committed a fresh indiscretion (to call
it by the mildest term) in his magisterial capacity. In
consequence of a report which was published a few days
ago, Sir R. Btu: is fell under the just animadversions of
the press with respect to the want of temper and propriety
which had characterised his demeanour towards a gentle-
man brought before him on the strange charge of being
disorderly because he did not " move on" at the instant he
was ordered so to do by a watchman. •The report in which
Sir IL BIRNIZ'S condurt appeared the least amiable or
gentlemanlike, was one that was inserted in an evening
paper. We have not heard that it has been alleged
that this or any other report of that transaction was
in any material point incorrect. The differences in
the several reports were, as to matters, wholly insignifi-
cant. In the main facts they all agreed. Some were given
more in detail, but substantially they were alike. The
particular report to which we have alluded differed from
the othela only in being rather longer ; and therefore per-
haps asit related more than thereat of an occurrence which
ought never to have taken place, it was the most disagree-
able to the wrong doer. The tendency of that report, and
of the others also was 111reprelent sir R. Brasile as being
occasionally liable to forget the manners of a gentleman
while officiating as a magistrate. Yesterday, in order,
we suppose, to show l*w unfounded was such an
imputation upon his behaviour, he suddenly leaves the
magisterial bench, and, accosting two reporters for the
evening papers, who were silently listening to the proceed-
ings, abruptly required them to give an account of them-
selves, and, without waiting for an answer, directed them to
be turned out of the office ! There was some improvement
of manner in this proceeding, we must admit. Sir R DIRNIE
did not begin by asking them whether they were thieves or
honest men, as in the case of Mr. GA x are, neither did lie
wait till they had replied, and then tell them he
did not believe one word they had said. But the
treatment he inflicted upon them was, upon the whole,
not much less degrading than if they had been vagabonds
of the most abandoned character. It is insinuated that
Sir R. BIRNIE disliked these Reporters for the Evening
Papers, and that he prefers having his deeds recorded only
by the more flattering penr of the Reporters for the Morn-
ing Papers. This must be a calumny. It cannot be that
a Police Magistrate would dare to make so flagrant an at-
tempt to corrupt the sources of public information. But
why did Sir R. Maxie lay himself open to so sinister a
construction, by rudely and illegally ordering those per-
sons to be expelled from his office, and those persons only,
whom it was understood be regarded as having given him
offence by their too minute and faithful publication of his
proceedings ?

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

The business of the Consols Market was almost exclu-
sively confined to settling accounts, the result of which
was a heavy depression in British securities; for the trans_
actions to-day amongst jobbers showed the probability of
to-morrow being a bull account; viz. that there would be
plenty of stock for delivery, which had a necessary ten.,
Jersey towards a decline in them for to-morrow's Account,
and for Money the price was 891 I, and for the October
Account 89j with a very lusty appearance. Exchequer
Bills were from 17e. to its, -Matey was very scarce.

In the Foreign Market the variation was principally in
Greek Scrip, which opened at 12f, and at that price con-
tinued steady till towards one o'clock, when it suddenly
retrograded to 144 15. This security, chiefly, we believe,
owing to the efforts of a party against it, has been particu-
larly sensitive when news even of an equivocal nature has
arrived; and the letters from Zante, putting the most un-
favourable construction upon them, can only be considered
in that light. They are dated the 18th July, and state
that Ibrahim Pacha (who, it seems, has not been made
prisoner) had been reinforced, and that all Colocotroni's
endeavours could not prevent the junction of the new levies
with the main army. On the other hand, in the same
letters it is stated that Colocotroni was acting with great
decision, and that the most vigorous efforts were making
at Napoli di Romania to attack the enemy. This infor-
mation, received by mercantile houses in the City, is con-
firmed by adrices transmitted to the Greek Deputies, who,
we know, are in high spirits, anticipating a favourable issue
to the cause in which their countrymen are engaged. At
one time there were sellers of Scrip at 13} discount, but
afterwards the market rather improved, and left off at
134 4.
South American securities continued languid, as indeed
did every stock in the market. Colombian Bonds
were at B'2l, and Mexican Scrip 41 discount. Brazilian
Scrip was at 6 64 discount, and the new Guatemala Scrip
at 1 to 4 discount. Spanish Securities were only a shade
worse ; the old being st+ 1, and the new 174. From the above
statement, they who run may read that the marked feature

'of the money markets was a gloom almost amounting to a'
panic. Indeed in Greek Scrip no other name can be ap-
plied to the decline, for it went down from 12i to 14i in a
much less time than we were writing.the account of it.
The Share Market partook of the general gloom.
Anglo-Mexican and United Mexican Shares are lower;
the former 63 73, the latter 18 22. So little business was
doing in the minor shares that quotations of them can
scarcely be made.
Every thing was equally gloomy in Mincing-lane.
Coffee and Sugar declined in price, and Rum was held very
heavily.

There are letters in town from Gibraltar of the 4th
August, which state that nothing is decided relative to the
fish duties. The same letters also mention that it is
currently reported a large body of French troops are or-
dered to march into Spain.
It is stated in a letter from Paris, that great interest
has been excited there by the conference held at the
Hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, between him and
the Russian, Austrian, Prussian, and Spanish Ambassa-
dors. The nature of this conference Lad not, of course,
transpired in an authentic way, but in the best circles it
was said to Lave related to the affairs of Spain. The
general impression was, that the Ambassadors of the Al-
lied Powers had communicated to the Spanish Minister
their determination not to support Ferdinand any longer
in the course which he has so long pursued ; hut at the
same time expressing their readiness to co-operate for the,
subjugation of the faction, which, whilst it exists in force,
must render vain all hope of improving the financial and
general condition of Spain.
It is stated that Count Hardenberg, the Hanoverian
Minister to the Court of Austria, is about to be succeeded
by Count Von Meerveldt.
The Aligemeine Zeitung of the 19th instant, mentions,
urider date of Augsburg, August IT, on the authority of a
letter from Constantinople, that on the 10th July, 6,000
Egyptian troops had arrived before Missolonglii, in order to
assist Redschid Pacha to take that town by storm, or oblige
it to surrender. Ibrahim Pacha had still his head-quar-
ters at Tripolizza. 1
The letters by the Turkey mail yesterday were from Con-1
stantinople the 25th, and from Smyrna the 18th ult. The
former contain no news; from the latter it is admitted that
authentic accounts were received that Ibrahim Pacha bad
retreated from before Napoli di Romania : but the letters'
ascribe the movement to the want of provisions, and make
no mention whatever of any engagement.
Letters from Pest state, that Captain Brown, an Eng-
lishman, has offered to light that city with gas, and his pro-
posals are likely to be accepted. In all the Continental
States the value of this improved mode of lighting seems
to be duly appreciated.
M. Schwabe], a mechanic of Strasburg, bas just in-
vented a triangular machine, with a lever, to replace the
hydraulic lever, which possesses the double action applica-
ble to all machines moved by water or horses, either for
spinning, flour-mills, sawing, forge-bellows, &c. It faci-
litates by its strength the machine to which it is applied,
giving it a snore regular movement, and fills the place of
two horses where four are required—and is also very use.
ful in times of drought, as it will work a machine with
half the quantity of water.
A watchmaker of Bayreuth has manufactured a cage
filled with birds, to the number of sixty, representing par-
rots, sparrows, swallows, &c. each of which has the pecu-
liar note given by nature. The cage is made of brass, and
the wheels which make them move and produce the sound
are of silver; the plumage is real. A person of distinc-
tion, it appears, offered the watchmaker 32,000 florins for
his cage, but he will not take less than 60,000.

The township of Frampton, ten leagues from Quebec,
has lately been visited by a great many bears, which have
destroyed some cattle, and considerably lacerated others.

Qv lc K PASSAG ES.—Mre perceive, by the ship news, that
the Flora, Captain Farrant, made her passage from this
port to Buenos Ayres in the short space of sixty-one days.
It is worthy of remark, that the Flora made her last pas-
sage from Buenos Ayres to Liverpool in sixty-one days
also.—Liver pool Courier.
THE " COMMUNITY" MANI/J.—lt appears that Owen is
to have a rival in his community system ; an association,
modelled on his plan, has been formed in Cincinnati,
who have purchaied a tract of land of upwards of 700
acres, in Greene County (Ohio), including the Yellow
Spring, et miles from Cincinnati, and three from the
Little Miami Falls, for the purpose of establishing a com-
munity agreeably to the plan of Robert Owen. A consti-
tution has been adopted, and it is said the community has
already commenced operations.— Washington Gazette.
CONVERSION FROM C•THOI week the
little town of Gorey was more than usually animated. A
young man, who was lately a Roman Catholic Priest, but
who is now a member of the Established Church, preached
in the street to an immense congregation. Even the reapers
I from the neighbouring fields came in crowds to listen to
him. He is rather poorly dressed ; his voice is exceedingly
powerful, and his delivery clear and distinct. lie is at
present at the house of the Rev. Jemmet l'ark. It is ex-
pected that lie will preach in this town in a few days. We
understand he has refused to accept of any situation or
emolument, but has expressed his determination to travel
through the country, and preach against those doctrines
which he so lately renounced. He is said to be the Rev.
Mr. APSweeney, who took so active a part in the memor-
able Carlow discussion.—Wexford Herald.
A FEMALE PREIACHER.—A gentlewoman of decent ap-
pearance, who is travelling through the country preaching
(or rather exhorting), visited our town (Shawnee Town,
Illinois) on Wednesday last ; she seems an extraordinary be-
ing, of considerable understanding and common education.
She delivered a discourse, which occupied about an hour
and a half, was concise in her arguments, affording a clear
connexion of ideas in the arrangement of her subject, of a
happy and easy delivery (excepting a few inaccuracies of
expression), solemn but mild in her address, and graceful
in her gestures. She takes no text, but frequently makes
quotations from holy writ, and poetic authors, by way of
evidence and ornament. She says she is induced to travel
under conviction of duty, having been visited and instructed
to the task by the divine spirit, about three years ago.
She is about 35 years old, slender form, and, pilgrim-like,
she travels entirely on foot, utterly refusing the offers of
conveyance. We are told she carries with her none other
than the clothes which she has immediate use for, depend-
ing entirely upon having her wants supplied when neces-
sity may require.—Arrierican Paper.

REGENT'S PAM—The vast increase of buildings in
this quarter has suggested the necessity of constructing a
reservoir for the supply of water to the new neighbourbood.
A work of this kind has been going on for some months,
and being now near its completiTi, attracts a good deal of
curiosity. It is advantageously situated on Little Primrose
Hill, from which elevation, being 173 feet above the level
of the Thames, the liquid body will flow from a point
higher than any building in :Vary-la-bonne, and be enabled,
consequently, to invade the topmast chamber in the parish
with ease. The basin will be 20 feet deep, and cover an
area of two acres, and when finished will be enclosed by a
wall with an ornamental palisade, so as to render it an
object of embellishment to the Park. It will contain
18,000 tuns of water, considered to be adequate to the sup-
ply of as many houses; and the fluid will be brought from
the Thames above Hammersmith, a distance not less than
seven miles. The increase of houses in the parish of
Mary-lc-bone has been from 9,000 to 14,000 within the
last two years. The cost of this work has been computed
at 23,0001.

The Derby Aferctir gives an account of the opening of
a Mechanics' Institution in that town. The objects of the
patrons of the establishment were ably set forth at great
length by the Rev. Edward Higginson. lie closed his ad-
dress, enforcing the importance of connecting religious
principles with the pursuits of learning, in the following
impressive words:—" Yet though I did not wish to ex-
hibit before you the preacher rather than the lecturer, I
do even here feel myself quite in my proper place, in ex-,
pressing my ardent hopes that your inquiries into the
wonders of nature and the laws of the creation will always
lead your minds to the adoration and obedience of the peat
former and Lord of aIL if,' says Paley, one train of
thought be more desirable than another, it is that which
regards the phenomena of nature with a constant reference
to a supreme intelligent author. To have made this the
habitual sentiment of our minds, is to have laid the foun-
dation of every thing which is religious. The world, from
thence, becomes a temple ; and life itself one continued act
of adoration.' "
