GREECE.

According to advices received at Vienna 3 rester-
day from Salonica, the town of Arta, but n :cat the
castle, has been taken by the insurgents.
A letter from Trieste of the 6th says OompArircial
letters from Janina, of the Bth, confirm kt le ac-
counts of insurrectional movement having -taken
place in the Epirus. Several bands of rioters are
assembled at Cinque Pozzi, near Arta, and Ynter-
rupt the regular communications. The Go' vern-
ment has sent a detachment of 1,000 men to that
point. The tradespeople of Arta, which its some
miles distant from the Greek frontier have taken
refuge in the Chateau. The rebels make Et pre-
tence of rising in defence of the orthodox faith,
and have chosen this place as the basis of their
enterprise against Thessalia and Albania. It is
said at Janina that some English troops will land
there to put down the revolt. A Greek lieuten-
ant at the head of some soldiers had gone over to
the rioters. These events have produced CODA ider-
able agitation in Greece.
The onian Gazette of the 28th ult. givers some
particulars of the late disturbance at Ceph
Upwards of 500 peasants invaded the to wn. of
Luxuni, broke open a large granary and plus adered
it, saying they would pay for the corn as vaon as
they should have money. Captain Lawrer oce, di-
rector of the police department, was sent t hither,
who, after restoring order, took measures t.) have
food distributed to the destitute at the ch.arge of
government. This event has since led to a corres-
pondence between the Lord High Commissioner
and the President of the Senate, which is pia lished
in the lonian Gazette of the 4th inst.

SIIERIFF'S COUNT.-(THIS DAT).

(Before R. Gurney, Esq.)

A BILL TRANSACTION. -WHEELER V. HOOPER AND

ANOTHER.

This was an action to recover the sum of 271. Ios. on
a bill of exchange.
The defendant appeared in person, and pleaded that
there had not been any consideration. He was then
sworn, and stated that he formerly carried on business
with his brother (the other defendant) in Tower-st.,:eet,
but the latter was now in Antigua.
Plaintiff said he was expected to return.
His honour said that the plaintiff could obtain kadg-
ment against the party in England.
The defendant then stated the facts, from which it
appeared that, some time ago, he became bankrupt, and
the plaintiff stepped forward as a friend, and paid 751.
for his furniture, and took a house, that defendant might
become tenant and clear off the amount, by paying an
increased rent. Independently of which defendant and
his brother had given the plaintiff accommodation ; and
the sue on which the action was brought was so given,
and it was the balance due that the defendant did not
expect to be called upon to take up. He submitted that,
as the plaintiff stood in the position of a mortgagee over
the furniture, which was ample security for the rent,
there was no consideration for the bill.

His Honour held that, as the debt existed, there was
a sufficient consideration.

The defendant then applied to his Honour to direct
that the goods should be given up on the bill being paid.
His Honour said he could not make any order, but no
doubt plaintiff would.
The plaintiff said he certainly would.
