NEW LONDON BRIDGE.

On Thursday the Court sat at ten o'clock to
resume the consideration of the different claims made for com-
pensation by the owners and holders of premises on the South-
wark side of London Bridge, about to be taken down under the
authority of the New Bridge Act.
The Jury having been enipannelled, the claim of Mr. Solomon
Davies, the eminent tobacconist, was put in, as the freeholder of
certain premises on the west side of the High-street, Southwark,
being Nos. 319 and 321—the former, the public-house known
by the sign of the Tumble down Dick, let on lease to a Mr.
Cook, at the rent of 1001. per annum, 14 years of which were
unexpired—the latter, the house and warehouses in which Mr.
Davies carried on his trade as a tobacconist. For his interest
in these, its freeholder, Mr. Davies claimed 16,730/. • and for
his other losses and eapences, -14,3701., together 31,1201. 128.
The City made a nominal offer of ss.
The Com mos SE HJEANT, on the part of the City, resisted the
claim as beyond measure exorbitant, and called Mr. Montague,
the City Surveyor, Mr. Kaye, and several other Gentlemen,
whose estimates for the freehold property were 8,3491. 16s. 81.,
something more or less.
On the part of Mr. Davies, estimates by Mr. Winstanley,
Mr. Hoggart, and several other Gentlemen versed in the va-
luation of such premises, were put in at a much higher value.
To prove the extent and nature of the claimant's business,
Mr. Samuel Fish, Mr. Crofton, and other wholesale tobacco.
nists, were called by Mr. Brougham; who concurred in opinion
that the removal would be most injurious to Mr. Davies's trade,
particularly as it would occupy considerable time to re-erect
the machinery necessary for the manufactory of snuffs, the most
beneficial part of their trade, the suspension of which would
subject him to the risk of losing that part of his trade altoge-
ther; the quantity of raw material manufactured in each year,
being proved by the Excise books, and the annual profits,
amounting to between 3,0001. and 4,000/. per annum.
The Le ;stied Recorder commenced summing up about seven
o'clock, the case having occupied the whole day, and at eight
the question went to the. Jury, who, after retiring for upwards
of an hour, returned for the freehold .11,500!., and on the trade
5350/. expences of removal 1301. fixtures as agreed 1067/. 55.;
together, 18,0671. ss.
• The Court was crowded-to excess, by persons who awaited
the decision with the deepest interest.

Extract of a letter from Alexandria, dated
Oct. 18, 1825:—" Yesterday morning the Capi-
tan Perim took his departure, and to-day the
whole of the transports are out. The expedition,
as far as we can learn, consists of 14 frigates, 14
corvettes, 42 brigs, 10 fireships, 20 armed Turk-
ish transports, and 28 European transports, with
the London Engineer steam-packet : another,
built here, sprang a leak in sailing out of the
harbour. Four whole regiments, or 8,000 sol-
diers of disciplined infantry, and about 1,000
Turkish cavalry, are embarked on board these
vessels. The expence of the whole expedition,
in arrears of pay to the Turkish fleet, provisions,
and repairs, supplies of money, and provisions to
the Morea,,presents, (the. Capitan. Pacha receives
100,000 dollars) will, it is estimated, cost our
Pacha 50,000,000 of piastres) or the value of
100,000 bales of cotton."

LONDON.
SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1825.

The French Papers of Thursday which arrived
last night are still filled with the proceedings
against the Constitutionnel and the Courier Fran-
cais, and the issue of which must now be speedily
known. They contain a little intelligence from
Greece, and extracts from them will be found
elsewhere.

The Gorman Mail has brought us the Nurens-
burgh Correspondent and Frankfort Papers to
the iSth and 19th of November, but they con-
tain but little worth extracting. The news from
Greece it; the former Journal is confirmatory of
that extracted from the French Papers. Misso-
longiti still held out, and the Seraskier was de-
termined to take up his winter quarters in the
Province, having resolved at all events to take
the town. The following are extracts:—

FROM THE FRONTIERS OF ITALY, Nov.-6.

The Greek squadron in the lonian seas endeavours to main-
tain the blockade of the coast of Epirus, and the entrance of
the Gulf of Lepanto, and watches with the greatest attention
every thing that passes in those seas. The Greek Commanders
have frequent disputes with Dalmatian and Austrian ships,
which for reasons already known will not respect the blockade,
and pretend that the Greeks violate the neutrality. But they have
not been able to attain their object, and have put back. It is
♦ery favourable to the Greeks, that the Lord High Commis.
sioner of the lonian Islands will not allow any British or lonian
ship to violate the blockade. This example has a great effect,
and is always referred to by the Greeks. It is a great injury
to Redschid Pacha, and to the Governors of Lepanto, Petra*,
&c., because it makes it impossible for them to obtain supplies
by sea, and the conveyance of provisions by land is attended
with great difficulties. It is said that the Seraskier, who is
resolved not to give up the siege of Missolonglii, is going
for some time to Arta, to take measures for the supply
of his troops during the winter, and that he will leave
the command during his absence to Ismael Pacha.
The Turkish and Egyptian fleets have at length sailed from
Alexandria with the reinforcements for Ibrahim Pacha, but
have proceeded in the :,rst instance to Boudran on the Asiatic
coast, to join the Turkish division in that port. Miatilis and
Sachtury are resolved to attack it as soon as it leaves Boudran.
Muxicit, Nov. 14.

This morning the King again presided in a Sitting of the
Commissioners, the object of which is to propose retrenchments
in the several branches of the public expenditure. The Chiefs
of several departments have been already called upon to pro •
pose such retrenchments as they think necessary and adviseable
in their several branches.

By a rescript issued yesterday, his Majesty has dissolved the
existing Committee of Legislation, and formed instead of it
another on a more extensive plan. Baron Zeutre, Minister of
Justice, is President of this new Committee.

Her Royal Iligness the Princess Amelia, consort of Prince
John of Saxony, arrived here the day before yesterday. Yesterday
was the birth-day of that Princess, and of her twin-sister the
Princess Royal of Prussia : they are now 24 years of age. The
King and Queen, and all the members of the Royal Family,
pay frequent visits to the Queen Dowager, and endeavour to
console her under her affliction, which her fortitude enables
her to support with resignation.

Quebec Papers to the 18th October have ar-
rived, which contain an Address to the Earl of
DALHOUSIE, on his return from England. The
following is au abstract of his Answer
I accept with great pleasure your kind congratulations
upon the return of Lady Dalhousie and myself to this province.
The respectable inhabitants of Montreal and its vicinity, whose
names are subscribed to the Address, will I am sure do me the
justice that I am truly sensible of this expression of their
feelings.

" I am happy to think,
.Gentlemen, that the liberal views
and policy of his Majesty's Government are so generally and
justly acknowledged iu the measures adopted in last Session of

Parliament in regard to the Colonies, and I sill cenreu
assure you, that if certain points have not been so I-

phaeton, accompanied by the Marquis Conyngham, and was
followed by others of his suite in the double-bodied phaeton, at-
tended by outriders. His Majesty drove past Cumberland

afterwards proceeded to the New Lodge in the Forest, and con-
tinuing his drive visited Cranboarn, and returned to the Royal
