DUEL IN RUSSIA.

The Gazette des TriCunaux publishes, on the
authority of a letter from Russia, a romantic ac-
. count of a recent duel, near Moscow, in which
both the combatants were killed :—A Russian
' Count, named Norvosilino, had seduced, under
promise of marriage, the daughter of an old Gene-
ral, and really intended, it appears, to marry her,
but his mother objected to the marriage, on the
ground of the General not being of noble blood,
and compelled her son to remain with her at Mos-
cow, so as to prevent all chance of his carrying his
promise into effect, the young lady living at a con-
siderable distance from that place. When the old
General discovered the seduction of his daughter,
he called together his five sons, who were all officers
of the 20th Regiment of Cossacks, and, re-
vealing to them the shame of their sister,
it was resolved to take vengeance of the se-
ducer, or to compel him to fulfil his promise.
For this purpose, the five sons obtained leave of
absence from their regiment, and arrived in Mos-
cow. The Countess, having ascertained the object
of their visit, applied to the Governor of Moscow,
who arrested them, and had them confined in pri-
son fAr three months, at the expiration of which
period of imprisonment they were sent back to their
regiment, the Colonel of which received orders not
to give any of them leave of absence even fur a
single day. They now cast lots as to which of the
' five should give in his resignation, in order that
one at least might be able to take ven-
geance upon the seducer. The son on whom the lot
fell immediately resigned his commission, and set off
for Moscow, accompanied by a servant. On the road
he accidentally met the seducer on horseback, and
having challenged him, the Count alighted from his
horse to which he gave a shake of the whip, in order
that he might return without the rider, and thus
announce the accident that had befallen him, " for,"
said he to the brother of the young lady, " both
of us must die." They fought with pistols, at a
distance of only three paces, and both fell mortally
wounded, but lived sufficiently long to relate what
had passed, and for the young Count to entreat his
mother to adopt the child of the female whom he
had betrayed. They were found by the police im-
mediately after the duel, and the servant was ar-
rested, but upon the declaration of the Count and
his master he was released. The account adds
that the Countess is nearly heartbroken at the con-
sequences of her own pride, and has adopted her
grandchild as some atonement for the calamity
which she has caused.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

Thomas' Buckmaster, a labourer, was convicted for
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of William
Snosswell, a watch and clock-maker, in Farringdon-
street, on the 15th of the present month, and heitig an
old offender, was sentenced by the Learned Judge to
transportation for 15 years.
Joseph Holjjhead and John Arber were indicted for
stealing a sack of oats, the property of Henry Mug-
gridge, his master, of . Holyhead, in the course of the
present month.

The Jury acquitted the prisoners.
The prisoners were again indicted with a similar of-
fence on a subqucnt day.
The Jury acqi:ted the prisoners on this charge.
Mr. Sergeant ARABIN said the Jury had viewed the
case of the prisoners with great leniency, and they
might depend upon it, if they•came there again, they
would be transported.

John Allen, aged 22, Ann Coupland, aged 35,
Thomas Allen, aged 30, and Edward Coupland, aged
37, were indicted, the two former with stealing a bag,
one dressing case, and other articles, the property of
the Hon. Stephen Edward Spring Rice, the son of
Lord Monteagle, and the two latter for receiving the
same, well knowing them to have been stolen.

It appeared from the evidence that the proiccutor,
Mr. Rice, came up from Newmarket by the Telegraph,
Norwich coach, on the 2d of September, and the bag
was stolen from the hind boot of the coach while stop-
ping to set down a passenger at the corner of Fetter-
lane. Mr. Rice identified two hair brushes, some shirt
studs, a razor strop, two silk handkerchiefs, and a pair
of knee buckles, which were produced, as being his pro-
perty. The remainder of the articles that were in the
bag, comprising -the dressing case, a quantity of silver
and jewellery have not been discovered.

Mr. Phillips appeared for the prisoner Edward Coup-
land. The other prisoners were „unchttended.

There was no evidence of guilty knowledge on the
part of Edward Coupland, and the Jury therefore ac-
quitted him, but the other prisoners were found guilty,.
and were sentenced to six molths' imprisonment in the
House of Correction, the last three weeks to be
solitary.

FERENCE SOCIETY

MALTA.

(From the Harlequin, of Sept. 21.)
The change in the administration of the colonies cav-
uot fail to be attended with happier results than the
past, Lard John Russell, whatever may be the colour ti
and shape of his politics, whatever may be the spirit and
prejudices of his party, is himself an eminently honest
politician, as well as a statesman of great ability and
immense experience. Though towards Glenelg and
Normanby our feelings may not be very cordial, (of
course with their Lordships it is a matter of perfect in-
difference,) we could not but entertain the hippest res-
peet, if not affection, for the character and future colonial
acts of Lord John Russell ; and we are well assured
that the policy of the Commissioners, and the chonges
which they have made in Malta, will not meet with his
Lordship's approbation. We are perfectly convinced
that his Lordship will not leave 7,000 Englishmen desti-
tute of an English judge, or Government legal adviser,

or jury.
His Lordship, we are sure likewise, wilt consider that
English youth born in Malta shall be provided with
English and Protestant Professors in the University
in fact, that there shal be no difference between Rornish
or Protestant Professors in the University—that every
competent and respectable teacher, not interfering
in
in
religion, should be accounted eligible for a professors
in the University, be he Maltese, English, Italian, Ger-
man, &c. ; at the same time, we do affirm that, in gene-
ral, preference should be given to the native professors.
We have many more things to say to the new Secretary
of State for the Colonies.

QUARANTINE REGULATIONS IN
DENMARK.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
The following has been received at Lloyd's, from the
British Consul at Elsinore, dated Oct. 5, 1839 :--
" Stn,—l have the honour to inform you that the
Quarantine Board here have now received orders from
the Supreme Board of Health, according to which all
vessels bound from Great Britain to Danish ports con-
veying (in certain cases) proper certificates from the
Superintendents of the Quarantine Establishments at
Stangate Creek and Milford Haven, are, for the pr
ends
e-
-
sent, to be treated on the same footing as ships proceed
ing from places where there are regular establishm
for the performance of Quarantine recognised by the
laws of Denmark.
Although Russia and Prussia have acceded to the
above arrangement, so far as the trade to their ports is
concerned, yet the former has done so with the modi-
fication, that ships arriving from Great Britain in the
Baltic ports of Russia, with cargoes of cotton or other
enumerated articles, are to be admitted on its being
the
made to appear by the certificates from proper
officers at Stangate Creek or Milford Haven, that
such goods have been purified at one of the two above-
mentioned stations ;' provided, however, that a separatee
attestation, or the quarantine pass to that effect, b
produced from the Danish Quarantine Board.

" Your most obedient humble servant,

NEW COURT.

William Thompson aged 73, and John Hazard, two
old Greenwich pensioners, were indicted, the former
with stealing 381bs. of -cheese, value 258., and the lat-
ter with receiving it, knowing it to have been stolen.
The Jury acquitted Hazard, but found Thompson
guilty. They, however, strongly recommended him to
mercy. It appeared that Thompson had been con-
victed before, and the Court therefore sentenced- him
to six months' hard labour in Maidstone gaol.

ROYAL STAG HUNT IN WINDSOR

GREAT PARK.

WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENING.—At an early hour
this morning Mr. Davis, her Majesty's huntsman, re-
ceived instructions to Lave the Queen's stag hounds in
readiness for a day's sport—the " meet" to take place
at the double gates in the Park at nine o'clock. At
that hour the two Princes Ernest and Albert of Saxe
Coburg, accompanied by the Earl of Uxbridge, Lord
Alfred Paget, the Hon. W. Cowper, Captain Seymour,
Count Kolowrath, several of the Officers of the Second
Life Guards and the Second Rifle Brigade, and a nu-
merous field, consisting of many others of the Gentlemen
of the Court and neighbourhood, were assembled. A
fine deer was shortly afterwards selected and driven
away from the herd, which afforded the Royal Party
a fine run for upwards of an hour. It then, being
closely pursued, took to a pond, close to the lodge
of Hudson, one of her Majesty's keepers, in the
middle of which it remained for more than an hour
and a half. In the meantime another deer was selected,
which, upon the bounds being laid on, took the direc-
tion across the Park, pursued by hounds and hunts-
men, in slashing style ; and, after a sharp run of half
an hour, it so completely outstripped its pursuers,
that it was lost in the forest somewhere near Cran-
bourne. A third deer was then started, which afforded
a splendid chase across the forest, when it was even-
tually taken, after perhaps one of the finest one hour
runs ever witnessed. The two princes of Saxe Co-
bourg, who are excellent horsemen, appeared greatly to
enjoy the'sport, and the whole of the Royal party, after
a delightful day's hunting, returned to the Castle to
lundeon.

Thank God, Lord BROUGHAM still lives !
The report of his death turns out—as we hoped—
to be unfounded ; and we may now congratu-
late our countrymen on their still possessing one
of the most comprehensive intellects that ever
graced it's literature, and one of the noblest hearts
that ever beat high in the cause of freedom. We
know not that we ever penned a sentence with
more genuine satisfaction than this. A load seems
taken off our mind—we breathe more freely—and
bend in devout gratitude to Providence for preserv-
ing a life so dear to us all. At an early hour this
morning—having previously distrusted the vague
rumour of his death—we instituted the most active
inquiries, and learned, on the authority of a private
letter, not only that his Lordship received no
injury from the overthrow of the carriage (which,
by the bye, was not a hired one, but his own), but
that he actually walked upwards of thirteen
miles after the accident ! Thank God, we again say,
for this providential escape ! Freedom—philosophy
—science—all that tends to elevate, purify, and en-
noble the human character ; all that tends to make
as good men and good citizens, and to raise us in
the scale of thinking beings • all this is the better
,
for Lord BROUGILAM'S fortunate escape from
death. While he lives, freedom still possesses a
" tower of strength ;" fez he is the last of a race
of Titans, whose u • nrivalled energies have never yet
been exerted but for the
advancement of the best
interests of humanity. Not for himself has he
" scorned delights and lived laborious days," hut
for us. 'We are his debtors to an incalculable
amount ; and not we, Englishmen,
, only, but free-
men in every quarter of the globe
owe him
an
immense amount of obligation. Even the
poor
enslaved, despised ric4ro feels the tear of gratis ude
start to his eye, and his heart throb with alivelier pul-
sation, when he pronounces the name of Bno uG HA M !
Though fully aware that this is not the proper
season for panegyric, yet we cannot restrain the
strong feelings that rise within us at the bare men-
tion of his Lordship's escape. His was among
the earliest names that we learned to speak with
reverence; an admiration of his surpassing talents
—but still more of the cause to which he devoted
them—c, grew with our growth, and strengthened
with our strength;"
we exulted in his successes,

Ru, AL NAVAL BENEyOLEN T

SOCIETY.

took place at Oa Monday the quarterly meeting of ellebefrripiadiscre(al
supporters of this institution
House Tavern, St. James's-street, Admiral .
supportedsir ton in the chair. The Gallant President wasAd_
on his left by Lord Radstocli, and on his righ.
I);:esent
inirul Sir George Cockburn. There were also
.14u
3. Bren-
.several other naval officers, among. whom were Ca; 1,1
Bedtbrd, Purser George Nicholls, &c. 1
Captain Dick.sos, the Secretary, read the minutes o.
the last quarterly meeting, and the Report was highly
interesting. It appeared from the statement, that at
present many officers of the navy could not afford the
expense of getting their children educated in England,
and were obliged to go. abroad for the purpose. After
some :further routine business was gone through
_Captain DICKSON read a letter from Adeiiral Sir
Thomas Williams, announcing his intention to contri-
bute the sum of .500/. towards the establishment of a
school for the . education of the daughters of naval
officers., " having. for its basis the moons of affording
them well-grounded religious instruction according to
the tenets of the Church of Englaud."

The announcement %v as received in the most cordial
spirit of acknowledgment, and made the .staicet of a
special vote of thanks.

In consequence. of the vacancy occasioned by the de-
mise of Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy, Admiral Sir Gra-
ham Mnore was appointed one of the Vice-Presidents
of the Society.
There were not less than 75 memorials for relief,
and the available sum to be voted did not exceed 4501.
In the mean time the several cases received the nma3l,-
kind and considerate attention. Many of them weae
painfully affecting ; but a just regard to what is due to
the feeling of the parties precludes us from going into-
particulare. In conclusion, we wculd only observe
that, pre-eminent as this country. is for the number and
excellence of its charitable institutions, there is not one
which, in a national sense, deserves more earnest and
strenuous support than: the Royal Naval Benevolent
SoCiety.

I trust I have now satisfactorily demonstrated that
the sixteen shillings per cwt. paid by the nation more for
West India Sugar than would purchase other sugar,
does in no way enrich the colonial proprietors. Re-
move the charges inflicted by restrictive laws, permit
us to do what we please with our produce, and I am
confident many proprietors would unite with me, in pro-
moting the admission of foreign sugars to home use ;
but it cannot be expected that the British colonist will
voluntarily enter the field of competition while his hands
are tied and fettered as they now are by bad laws.

EFFECTS OF THE LATE EARTHQUAKE.--
Since the period of the late earthquake in November,
which extended over most of Scotland, and was felt also
in various parts of the Continent, several wells -and
springs
of water in the neighbourhood of Inverness have
been dry. On the high table land, or elevated eat, be-
tween the Leys and Inverness, there was a number of
wells, which were never without three or four feet of
water in the most sultry season, but all of which are
now dried up. The Rev. Mr. Fyvic informs us that
the same has occurred in the vicinity of his residence at
Roschank, and that the people now resort to Aultoas-
kiach Burn for supplies of water. The concussion pro-
bably closed up some horizontal strata of rock through
which the water had its course.—lnverness Courier.

The American papers bring some curious legal pro-
ceedings relative to the slave trade. The first section
of the Act of 1800, chap. 51, declares " that it shall be
unlawful for any citizens, &c., directly or indirectly, to
hold or have any right or property in any vessel em-
ployed or made use of in the transportation or carrying
of slaves from one foreign country to another, under the
penalty of forfeiture." The second declares it unlaw •
Jul for any citizen, &c., to serve on board of any vessel
of the United States employed or made use of in the
transportation or carrying of slaves from one foreign
country to another." According to the third, "if any
citizen, &c., shall voluntarily serve on board of any
foreign ship or vessel which shall hereafter be employed
in the slave trade, he shall, on conviction, be liable to
and suffer the like forfeitures, fines, &c." The fourth
declares " that it shall be lawful for apy corn.
missioned vessel of the United States to seize
and take any vessel employed in carrying on
trade, business, or traffic, contrary to the true
intent and meaning of this Act, or of the
said Act to which this is an addition." In the ~se
of the brig Alexander, recently before the Circuit
Court, the point was whether, in the event of -a ship
being engaged in the slave trade, and not having on
board any slaves for transportation-, she was liable to
forfeiture under the Act. It was decided by Judge
Story that the employment of the ship for the purpose
of the slave trade, and not merely the actual transpor-
tation of slaves, should be punished. This doctrine of
