LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Before Lord Campbell and Justices Coleridge, Wight•

man, and Crompton.)
The attention of the Court was this morning occupied
in the hearing of motions.

RE AN ATTORNEY.
Mr. Honeyman, on behalf of a person named Davis,
moved for a rule to show cause why an attorney (whose
name did not transpire) should not be struck off the
rolls. The learned counsel stated as a ground of his ap-
plication that the attorney had refused to deliver up
certain monies which he had recovered at the suit of
Davis, although an order had been made by Mr. Baron
Platt, that he should hand them over within a specified
time.

Lord Chmpbell enquired why, as the shorter and
more advisable course, an order of attachment had not
been applied for.

Mr. Honeyman replied that that course might cer-
tainly have been adopted, but that his client was afraid
that the attorney would take the benefit of Insolvent
Act and so escape.
Lord Campbell, however, held that the usual and
proper course ought to be adopted, namely, that an
order of attachment should issue

TURKEY.

We extract the following from the Journal da
Constantinople of the Bth :—The great activity of
Omer Pacha and his experience in warlike opera-
tions cause it to be supposed that, towards the
25th or 30th of this month, the corps d'armee, of
35,000 men will be disembarked in the Crimea with
all the necessary artillery. On the other hand,
Riza, Pacha, Mi4ister of War, displays the greatest
zeal in preparing for the approaching departure of
eleven thousand men, amongst whom is a magni-
ficent regiment of cuirassiers, sent by Said Pacha,
Viceroy of Egypt, and of the troops of the
province of Tunis who are still at Con-
stantinople. With these different farces and the
Ottoman division of 12,000 men which is in the
Crimea under the orders of Osman Pacha, Omer
Pacha will towards the end of January be at the
head of an army of 60,000 men. Letters from the
Crimea also inform us that portable telegraph are
established on all the points occupied by the allied
armies, and that the English engineers are com-
mencing their operations at Balaklava for establish-
ing the railway to the camps. By these means all
communications between the chiefs and the armies,
and the points of disembarkation, will be rapid,
and that will be a great advantage for the opera-
tions. For some time past, eight Ottoman steamers,
which compose the fleet to be commanded in the
Black Sea by Ahmed Pacha, have not ceased to
transport to Varna and Baltschick winter effects
and provisions for the corps d'arra6e of the Danube
which is about to proceed to the Crimea. These
equipments and supplies being terminated, Ahmed
Pacha is to leave on Monday with two of those
steamers for Samsoun, where he will give his
orders ; and there the six other steamers are to
join him. After receiving their coal, the steamers
are to proceed to the Crimea under the command
of Ahmed Pacha, whose conduct is worthy of all
eulogium since the Ottoman squadron has operated
in the Black Sea.

" THE POUR POINTS."

In the present slate of the negotiations it may not be
uninteresting to our readers to place in juxtaposition
the interpretation of the so-called "Four Points" as un-
derstood by the Western Powers and Russia respec-
tively. They are as follows :
WESTERN INTERPRETATION, BUSKIN INTERPRETATION,
As CONTAINED IN TEE AS EXPRESSED IN TEE
PROTOCOL OF AUGUST 8, NOTE OP NOVEMBER 6,
1854. 1854.
The Western Powers will
be contented :

1. If the Protectorate 1. The Protectorate of the
hitherto exercised by Russia principalities on the Danube
over the principalities of to be exercised in future by
Moldavia, Wallachia, and the Five Powers collectively,
Servia ceases, and if in under the same conditions as
future the privileges and those stipulated in their fa-
immunities granted by the your by our treaties with
Sultans to these their depen• Turkey.
•
dencies ba placed under the
collective guarantee of the
Powers by means of a special
treaty with the Sublime
Porte.

2. If the navigation of the 2. Freedom of the tiStviga-
Danube be freed from all tion of the Danube, already
hindrances at its mouth, and existing de jure, the restyle-
the principles set forth in Lion of which was never eoli-
th() act of the Congress of teniplated by Russia.
Vienna be duly acted upon
and applied in this case.

3. if the treaty of July 13, 3. Revision of the treaty
1841, undergo a revision, of 1841. Russia will not oh-
with the sanction of all the ject to the abolition of the
contracting parties, for the treaty, if Turkey, as the
better re-establishment of the state mostly interested, con.
balance of power in Europe, sents to the alteration.
and for the purpose of re-
stricting the power of Russia
in tie Black Sea.

4. If Russia gives up her 4. Joint guarantees for
claim of exercising an official the civil and religious liberty
protectorate owerthe subjects of the Christian population
of the Porte, to whatever re- of the Ottoman Empire,
ligion they may belong, pro- without any distinction of
vidod that France, Austria, religion, to be given by the
Great Britain, Prussia, and Five Powers collectively.
Russia do not inutaally agree
to take the initiative to ob-
tain from the Sultan the con-
firmation and due observance
of the liberty of conscience of
all the different Christian'
churches in the dominions of •
Turkey, and in the common
interest of their co-religion-
ists to profit by the liberal
intentions so disinterestedly
expressed by H. Id. the Sul-
tan, but without lessening
the dignity and indepen-
dence of his throne.

FRANCE.

PARIS, F,iIINDAY.—The chief political news to-
day is that Prussia, who, notwithstanding her
refusal to jo,in the Austrian Alliance with the
Western Poi vers, pretended to have a right, as a
great Europe an power, to participate in any con-
ference having for its object to modify treaties te
which she wads a party, has made a protest against
the validity of any resolutions which may be
come to by the New conference about to be opened.
at Vienna. The answer to this protest will, in all
probability, be given by a French army on th,2
Rhine beforo three months are over. The
news from Germany affords small prognostics
of peace. According to the Weimar Gazette,
Count Nesselrode only authorised Prince Gorts-
chakoff to accept the four points in the sense
attributed to them by the Russian Cabinet,
and with very important modifications, especialy
with regard to the third point, relative to the re-
vision of the ti eaty of 1841. Both the Presse and
the Patric of t his evening sum up the latest news
as being to the effect that tha Emperor of Russia
is in no disposition to make serious concessions.
The following; private telegraphic despatches are
given in the Fr ench papers :
TaiEsTE, 18t11.--According to news from Con-
stantinople of the Bth, General Canrobert has
given orders to suspend, for a time, the despatch
of further reinforcements, in order to avoid over-
crowding the camp.
ATHENS, 12t11.—The Allies will shortly quit
Greece, leaving only small detachments at the
Pira3llF.
We read in tho Moniteur The Emperor on
the propositiort of the Minister of War and Marine,
has ordered that all donations either in moiney or
in kind for the troops in the East shall be devoted
without distinction to the army and the fleet ; that
the gifts in money shall be converted into article;
according to the special designation of his Majesty •
that all objects of consumption and othorti shall

WOOL.

The Liverpool wool sales having gone off
somewhat
briskly,
at
an
advance in the quotations of from id to

There has been a very inactive inquiry for linseed, and
prices have had a downward tendency. In nther seeds
only a limited business has been transacted. Cakes are

PIEDMONT AND PRUSSIA.

%he, ravoltinty baseness of Prussia appears to
have reached its maximum. There she stands,
one moment holding up her coward hands begging
the honour of admission to the Vienna Confe-
rences, the next letting them fall with unsparing
cruelty upon Polish refugees from the relentless
Russian conscription. She implores and entreats
the Allies to let her in, if it be but up the back-
stairs, into the conference room, while at the
same time she sends back the unfortunate Polish
conscripts to the knout and to military exile in a
Russian army. By the last accounts it appears
that poor Polish peasants, labourers, between the
ages of 18 and 25, fled into Prussia to escape the
horrors of the CZAR'S service ; the brutal wretch
of Berlin orders them to be arrested as deserters !
and delivered up to the Russian authorities. This
is the Monarch who would place himself amongst
the arbitrators ! A man who denies our luckless
Cabinet a single Prussian for a soldier, but who
takes care that RuSsia shall not lose a single re-
cruit if he can help it. It really serves the Ger-
manisers of Downing-street right ; they would
not have Poles for their allies, they preferred any
hazards and losses to it, and now Prussia joins to
drag the poor unwilling Polish peasants into the
army of the Czar, while she snubs the authors of
the Foreign Enlistment Bill. Aberdeenism has
its reward ; we should be glad of it, did it not
involve our unfortunate army.
Well, now, will they make up for it with Pied-
montese I Here is a noble little State emulating
our political and ecclesiastical liberty ; growing in
constitutional freedom, and putting the clergy
into their proper place ; a State sympathising,
therefore, with our antagonism to Russian despot-
ism and preponderance ;—she offers us 15,000
men, as many as we could have hoped, at the
least to scrape together from all the continent.
Will not this do for a Foreign Legion ? There
it is ready for work ; drilled and officered, and
will cost no more than the proposed mercenaries.
Piedmont needs only the money ; why not, then,
offer at once to take this contingent into our pay ?
In mercy, and for economy's sake, let them be
provided with every necessary and comfort, cost
what it may. They might promptly contribute
their part to the complete investment of Sebasto-
pol, or to cutting the Russian line of operations,
or to defending the besiegers from molestation in
their work. The wisdom of Parliament will soon
be brought to bear on this and every question
connected with the war. We only hope it will
tolerate no onger the incapacity which has half
ruined our own army, sought to replenish it by
mercenaries, refused a Polish Legion, and does
nothing with a Piedmontese one.

ACCIDENT TO THE PERSEVERANCE.

On Saturday afternoon the Perseverance iron screw-
Steamer at Woolwich met with an accident in the east
dock by which she was thrown over on her beam ends.
The Perseverance was built by Messrs. C. J. Mare and
Co. An order was issued that she should -be masted
and rigged at Woolwich, and the masts were conse-
quently sent up from Sheerness, and, on their being put
in under the shears, she was taken into the east dock to
be completed for sea. On letting the water into the
dock as the tide rose on Saturday afternoon, for the
purpose of taking her out to be placed alongside the coal
depot-ship to take on board 400 tons of coals she was
scarcely floated and the shores taken away when she
gave three or four sways from side to side and turned
completely over on her beam ends in the dock, the fore-
mast resting on the roof of the chapel over the sawmills,
knocking down between 20 and 30 feet of the parapet,
but assisting to break her fall. The fall of the foremast
on the roof of the chapel broke it, and the mainyard and
foreyard were both broken, but with scarcely any other
injury. It was a fortunate circumstance that she turned
over in the deck, as there were about 150 persons on
' board at the time, several of them at work in the cabin.
As it was,
,a number were thrown into the water, and
three persons injured, bat no bones were broken. The
Perseverance has had her rigging all stripped and her
fore, main, and mizen topmasts taken down, relays of
workmen and of the crews of the Fisgard and of the
steam-vessels at Woolwich being at work all day yester-
day upon her. She has her engines, of 300-horse power
on board, and the funnel is within 12 or 15 degrees of
being in a horizontal line. The engines have been ex-
amined and have sustained no injury, The seamen and
ringers have commenced laying large cables under the
Perseverance, and other preparations are in progress to
raise her, which it is expected will be a task of no ordi-
nary difficulty.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Jan. 19. —Lord Bloomfield had the
honour of being received by the King on Wednes-
day, in private audience, for the purpose of deliver-
ingto his Majesty a letter in reply to that convoyed
by M. d'Usedom to Queon Victoria.
In the Second Chamber ton the 17th the Minister
of Finance applied for permission to continue to
levy an additional 25 per cent. on all inland taxa-
tion (for the purpose of meeting the interest on
the 30,000,000 thalers voted last session for war
purposes) up till April, 1856, and for powers to
continue to draw on the not yet exhausted
30,000,000 during the present year. These applica-
tions were referred to a committee.
On the report of the committee on the Budget
being brought up the House passed the. first two
items as recommended therein—viz., rand-tax,
10,084,182 thalers (1,512,6271.) with th e rider,
" the House expects that the Government„ if pos-1
sible in the present, but at any rate in the next
ensuing session, will bring in the law promised in
the charter for the repeal of all exeinptiouts from

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

The Canadian screw transport is alongside Portsmouth
dockyard, preparing to receive the troops allotted to her
of those we enumerated on Saturday. They will em-
bark probably to-morrow.
The Amity, screw transport 177, left Southampton
yesterday morning direct for the Crimea. She has on
board 100 wooden houses for the English army, all
of which are provided with stoves and every requisite
for the use of the occupants. The Swiftsure sailing
transport, chartered by the French. Government, put
out into the river from the Southampton-docks on
Saturday ; she received her crew from London dur-
ing the day, and will sail for Kamiesch-bay at day-
light this morning. The Swiftsure has on board 400
wooden barracks for the French army, and 100 officers'
houses, besides about 30 tons weight of stoves, the whole
occupying a space equal to 2,085 tons measurement.
The White Falcon clipper-ship, also chartered by the
French Government for the conveyance of houses, stores,
&c., is being rapidly filled at Southampton, and it is
expected she will convey about 350 huts, besides large
quantities of perk and beef, and will leave on or about
Sunday next, accompanied by the chartered steamer
Lady Jocelyn. The Jocelyn, also in the service of the
French Government, will convey 100 barracks, and fill
up with stores and warm clothing. The royal mail
steam-ship Severn, chartered by the English Govern-
ment, is being fitted at Southampton for the conveyance

Crimea she may be easily converted into an hospital

existing in the renovation of her stern and the adjustment
of the screw, this fine vessel is quite ready for sea. The
Mauritius, chartered screw steamer, is expected to arrive
with sick and wounded from the Black Sea, her depar-
ture from Malta being &ready reported. Should her
invalids be permitted to land at Southampton, every pre-
paration will be made both by the Custom-house officials
and dock authorities to prevent the slightest unneces-
sary delay. In consequence of the Severn (Brazilian
Mail steam-ship) being chartered by the Government;
the Royal Mail Company have deeided upon getting
ready their new ship Tyne, now fitting out at London,
to convey the Brazilian mails of the 9th proximo.
The Rajah, screw transport 181, will leave South-
ampton for Portsmouth this day. She has on board
about 50 huts for the English army, and will fill up,
previous to her departure for the Crimea, with stores
and warm clothing.

NAVIGATION OF TEE RIVER AMAZON.

On Tuesday the Tapajoz, a new iron vessel just com-
pleted by Mr. Laird for the Amazon Steam Navigation
Company, sailed for Oporto to take on board three
hundred Portuguese emigrants who are to be located
on the banks of the Amazon. After taking them on
board she is to sail direct for Oporto to that river. The
Tapajoz has been built expressly for the Amazon navi-
gation, and is 210 feet long, 27 feet beam, 12 feet deep,
and about 750 tons oid measurement. She is fitted by
Fawcett and Co. with a pair of engines of 200-horse
power, feathering wheels, and all the latest improve-
ments. The river Amazon is like many of the American
rivers, troubled with snags, or stumps of large trees,
which cause great risk to vessels, unless they are parti-
cularly strongly built, great care therefore has been taken
in the construction of the Tapajoz to render her proof
against accidents from this cause ; and she is divided
before the engine by three athwart-ship bulkheads and
one longitudinal one, thus dividing the fore-body into
four separate watertight compartments. To strengthen
her amidships the coal-boxes in the engine-room are
regularly framed and built in with strong plates as part
of the ship, and she has also two athwart watertight
bulkheads, abaft the engine-room. Her paddle-guards,
like the American river boats, extend to the outside of
the paddle-boxes, so that she is nearly fifty feet wide on
deck. Her cabin and fore-cibios are also on the Ame-
rican plan, being well ventilated deck-houses ; as also
is the accommodation for officers, engineers, firemen,
&c. The Tapajoz has large carrying accommodation,
having room in the holds for 350 tons of cargo, and in
the engine-room for eight or ten days' coal. Her draught
of water, when loaded, will be about seven to seven-
and-a-half feet. On her trial trip, a few days before she
sailed, she attained a speed of thirteen knots, or about
fifteen statute miles per hour, the engines working re-
markably well, with abundance of steam and easy firing.
Owing to the ;great strength of the vessel, and the
feathering wheels, there was not the least tremulous
motion in the vessel, even going at this great speed.
The company for which the Tapajoz has Leen built has,
it is stated, received a grant from the Brazilian Govern-
ment of 30,0001. a year for the regular and efficient
navigation of that river. That the work will be effici-
ently done is certain, !rom the fact that the Baron de
Mann is the principal promoter of the company, and
that he has been lately elevated to his title by the Em-
peror of
.Brazil, for his great services rendered to that
country in the construction of railways, gas-works,
steam navigation, &c. —Liverpool Albion.

important neighbourhood as have not hitherto kept a banker.
Interest on deposits and on the fluctuating balances of current
amounts is reckoned from day to day, at rates varying from one to
our per cost. per annum, according to the amount and continuance
of the deposit or balance, and promissory notes or bills, circular
letters of credit, and draftspay-able to order or bearer, which may be
cashed in any town at home or abroad where there is a banker, are
issued to merchants and travellers, for whom they possess some
peculiar features of economy, safety, and utility.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]

Another saint in the Calendar of Newgate !
another star in the firmament of crime I Dull and
leaden-eyed dawned the morning of this bitter
winter's day when, from his guarded cell, a shiver-
ing wretch was led, in solemn procession, to a
well-worn scaffold in front of the Old Bailey, and
there, before ignorant and curious, or brutal
thousands, had a rope put about his neck and
was deliberately strangled like a soulless dog. It
is now evening, and amid the bones of kindred
felons he lies, in mere obstruction, a half frozen
corpse. Why is this Justice, we will be told,
has been done on a murderer—the claims of
society have been vindicated.

Is it so ? Let us think the matter over for a
moment. Was BARTHELEMY guilty of the offence
for which he suffered? and, if so, was his life the
sacrifice which ought to have been offered in ex-
piation 7 To the first question we must unhesi-
tatingly reply in the affirmative. There can be no
doubt of his guilt. If ever desperado wickedly im-
brued his hands in human blood, BARTHELEMY did
that If ever murderer deserved hanging he did. By

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Bucharest of the 4th, in the Con-
stitutionnel, says :
" Count Coronini left this morning very suddenly
for Jassy. It is said that he will be absent about
three weeks. Some journals have spoken of pro-
scriptions which have been directed against a num-
ber of persons in the Wallachian Principality.
There is much exaggeration in these accounts. The
truth is that two persons have been compelled to quit
the country temporarily, Col. Salomon and an old
Greak Consular agent at Kraiowa. The former car-
ried arms against the Turks during the campaign of
last winter, and he is accused of having, at the
head of a band of Cosacks, committed cruelties
and exactions in Lesser Wallachia. The latter
has been pointed out as an emissary of Russia, and
it has been proved that he had always been in
communication with the enemy. Omer Pacha had
besides demanded the expulsion of the Logothete,
Manuel Floresco, who, on the demand of Prince
Gortschakoff, had been delegated by the provisional
administration for the service of the supplies to the
Russian army, and who has just arrived here after
haying fulfilled his mission. The Hospodar, how-
ever, showed himself less severe and eventually
convinced Omer Pacha that only Floresco had
yielded to the pressure of circumstances, and that it
would be unjust to banish him. The Hospodar
has recently, with the authorisation of the Porte,
issued several decrees dismissing military and civil
functionaries who had been appointed by the Rus-
sians. The Russians and Greeks who can furnish
securities for their good conduct are permitted to
remain in the Principalities, but all foreigners,
particularly those who formed part of the Rou-
mano-Greco-Sclavonian legion have been expelled.
Considerable reforms have been introduced into
the quarantine regulations, by which more order
will be established, and a considerable saving to
the treasury effected. A Moldavian company has
just farmed for five years the customs' duties of
the Principalities for 200,000 ducats a-year." (The
ducat is about 10f.)
London, England, 1855-01-22

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, 9th, in the Con-
stitntionnel, says :—" The Czar received, just
before the arrival of Prince Paskiewitsch, the in-
terpretation of the Four Points sent off by Prince
GortschakoT, and Count Nesselrode immediately
sent an order by telegraph to Prince Gortschakoff
to enter on the discussion of the Four Points.'
It must not, however, be imagined that from
that circumstance they are accepted. Even
supposing that negociations are possible, the
discussion of the &tails is full of difficulties,
and shculd even the representative of Russia at
Vienna accept any stipulation, his Government
would use no ceremony in repudiating, if it thought
'rho Minister, acting as
fit, what he had done.
Secretary of State of the .Kingdom of Poland, has
just received orders to tran.stiait to the Government
of the country a decree which extends the prohi-
bition of the export of rye, barley, oats, and
pulse, to wheat, and all other alimentary sub .
stances, the export of which to Austria had
mained free up to this time. ,4,11 the sailors
belonging to the flotilla of row-boa ts, which had
been formed for the defence of the ."-oasts, have
been ordered to hold themselves in readilness for the
month of March. The Minister of Wa2.• has re-
ceived from the Grand Duchy of Finland reports
announcing the complete success of the nev.v- bat-
talions of Chasseurs, the formation of which was
prepared last year by the establishment of military
schools at Abo, Carleby, and Helsingfors. In ad-
dition to these battalions of Chasseurs, four new-
ones are spoken of, which aro to be ready for se: •
vice in the spring. Tno majority of them still use
for their exercises muskets manufactured in Russia,
but they are to be provided with Belgian carbines,
similar to those furnished to the rifleman of the
Imperial family."

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Jan. 19. —Lord Bloomfield had the
honour of being received by the King on Wednes-
day, in private audience, for the purpose of deliver-
ing to his Majesty a letter in reply to that conveyed
by M. d'Usedom to Qneen Victoria.
In the Second Chamber on the 17th the Minister
of Finance applied for permission to continue to
levy an additional 25 per cent. en all inland taxa-
tion (for the purpose of meeting the interest on
the 30,000,000 thalers voted last session for war
purposes) up till April, 1856, and for powers to
continue to draw on the not yet exhausted
30,000,000 during the present yaar. These applica-
tions were referred to a committee.
On the report of the committee on the Budget
being brought up the House passed the first two
items as recommended therein—viz., Land-tax,
10,084,182 thalers (1,512,6271.) with the rider,
" the House expects that the Government, if pos-
sible in the present, but at any rate in the next
ensuing session, will bring in the law promised in
the charter for the repeal of all exemptions from
land-tax" (this is an attack on many =eruptive
but invidious immunities from taxation enjoyed by
the old Tory nobility, and was as such resented byHerr

von Gerlach); and2d, Income-tax, 2,9280 i of
(439,2001.) This item contains the additionot
per cent, for war purposes to the usual amber
the Income-tax, 2,344,000 thalers, and it 900
pected that an interesting debate wouldW C. 00
on this point, seeing that the whole 25 Pero 10
additional taxation has been levied eyer 100,
August, although the whole amount of tie ,
30,000,000 has not been taken up. The the'
Minister, however, referred the HO'
ple explan ttion which would be give
mittee, on his application for the ci
tion of 25 per cent. mentioned abov
