We have received the Courrier Francais of Wednesday,
front which we extract the following :
BELGRADE, APRIL 30.—News from Sophia, of the
24th April, states that Mustapha Pacha of Scutari is going
immediately to attack the Grand Vizier Redschid Pacha, and
and that the Albanians are in march towards Bitoglia : a
part of his army has already crossed the Werdar, and the
advanced guard is only five leagues from Bitoglia. The
army of the Grand Vizier only amounts to twenty thou-
sand men.

FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, MAY 2.—lt iS assured that
Hussein Pacha has left Adrianople at the head of 30,000
men, to proceed to the assistance of the Grand Vizier,
who is surrounded at Bitoglia.
They write from Prevesa that a corps of 14,000 young
Greeks have assembled to march against the Grand Vizier.
They have sworn to avenge themselves pr the death of
some Greek Captains, whom Redschid Pacha put to death
at Janina.
Letters from Semlin state that the Grand Sultan has
made an appeal to all true Alussulmen, calling on them to
take up arms and march against the rebels. The events
now passing in Turkey are considered at Vienna of the
utmost importance.

They write from Cracow to say, that Field-Marshal
Diebitsch has felt the difficulty of advancing to Praga, in
consequence of which he has taken the resolution to
cause a corps of the Imperial Guard to pass
the Vistula, which were joined to General Pahlen near
Plock, while he himself, at the head of the army, is going
to cross at Pulawy ; but this cannot be so easily executed,
for, besides the scarcity of provisions in this ruined
country, he has no positions, as they were burnt on his re-
treat to Rittie, and it will require some time to construct
new ones. General Chlopieki is healed of his wounds,
and is going in a few days to Warsaw.
The Journals of the East express great uneasiness on the
state of these departments. It is stated that in Marbiham
fifteen communes have risen up, and four men and a ser-
jeant of the line have been assassinated; and that in La
Vendee, Diot with his band is hovering about the country,
sleeping in the villages and in the farms; his appearance
causes great anxiety.
The following is an extract of a letter from Warsaw,
from an English doctor:—" Having arrived in this town
with Mr. Webb and my other confreres, we were imme-
diately employed at the grand hospital; we are not idle
owing to the great number of wounded ; there are about
fourteen thousand persons who are ill and wounded. The
cholera morbus has made its ravages here, amongst the
great number of Russians made prisoners, a great many
have joined the standard of liberty.
Consols since the early part of the day have improved to
82i 8:3 for the account. At 'present they are 821
This rise is attributed to the expectation that some ar-
rangement will take place between the Dutch and Belgians.
In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing.

CHEESE.—At Andover annual fair, there
was a small quantity of cheese pitched, which sold at—
best Somerset, 565. to 60s. ; seconds, 465. to 545. ; skim,
.265. to 345. Cheese sold olf rather brisk. At Lyming-
ton fair, cheese met a very dull sale at the following

48s. to 525. ; North Wilts, 50s. to 565. ; half coward,
425. to 483. ; skims, 16s. to 245. There were about one
hundred tons taken away unsold.

On Wednesday a melancholy accident hap-
pened to a young man of the name of Downntc, in the
employ of the Messrs. FusseLL, iron-mills, near Frame.
It appeared on the Coroner's inquest, that on leaving
work for the day, he was attempting with a stick, in
his usual manner, to throw a strap which was being
driven by the powerful steam-engine belonging to
the manufactory, when the stick came in con-
tact with the buckle of the strap, and was wrested out of
his hand, and carried with velocity along with the strap,
and in its way violently and fatally struck him in the lower
part of the abdomen. There was not the least appear.
ance of any external bruise. The unfortunate young man,
who was only about nineteen years of age, survived the
accident but twenty-four hours. Verdict—" Accident."

PITT was a candidate for Cambridge Univer-
sity at the general election in 17SO, and was unsuccessful.
A few days after the account came to London, the late
Duke of RUTLAND, coming up St. James's•street, met
LOld LONSDALP. (then Sir JAMES LOWTHER), and ac-
costed him with saying he had a favour to beg of him.
Sir JAMES asked what it was. The Duke said, "to
bring young PITT into Parliament." Sir JAMES replied
" it should be done ;" and lie was accordingly brought in
for Appleby. During Mr. PITT'S Administration Sir
JAMES was created Earl of LoNsnans, and the Duke of
lttrnANn was made Lord Lieutenant a Ireland,

COUNTY CLARE.—Captain Cox, of Mount-
pleasant, near Kilrush, was out on patrol last Wednesday
night, with two policemen and 11 of the sth Regiment,
when, after a pursuit of several miles, he came tip, abut
two o'clock in the morning, with a party of insurgents, in
the vicinity of Kiikee. They were after breaking in the
house-door of a poor farmer, and were flogging him on
the calves of the legs with a great cart-whip, when Captain
Cox came in view ; one of the scouts immediately at-
sh
teuipted to fire, but his piece burnt pi lining. and the two
police discharged their carbines. The soldiers also tired
and charged the insurgents, who fled with the utmost pre-

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY).

PALACE COURT (SCOTLAND-YARD).

CAUTION TO BROKERS.-TRESPASS.

BAFFIN V. WYNN.

This was an inquiry as to the value of some household
furniture, that had been illegally taken away by the de-
fendant from the plaintiff, in lieu of rent of which he was
in arrear. The action was tried on a former day, and the
defendant suffered judgment to go by default.
The facts of the case are these :—Tbe plaintiff, who is
a po'or man, working in Covent-garden-market, with
his family in January last rented a room in the house of
the defendant, in Earl-street, Seven-dials. The plaintiff
unfortunately became indebted to defendant 30s. for rent,
and not being able to discharge it, the defendant en-
tered the apartment, and sans cerentonie stripped the
room of all its contents, and took them into his
own possession. The family, by this illegal and arbitrary
act, was thereby deprived of not only a home, but a bed to
lie upon. The seizure being found to be totally against
the Act of Parliament regulating the recovery of rent by
brokers, the action was brought for the trespass, and to
recover back from the defendant the value of the furniture
taken away.
The witnesses for the plaintiff valued the goods at the
sum of 71. ; but, upon a rigid examination by the JUDGE,
they could only make it appear they were worth Si. 10s.
Those for the defendant, on the contrary, said they were
worth 2 ts. ; and one (a broker) declared them to be dear
at 12s.

The Learned JUDGE, in summing up the case to the
Jury, told them that there could be no doubt but the
defendant had infringed upon the Act of Parliament
regulating the conduct of brokers. Instead of acting
in the manner laid down by the statute, and bringing
them to the hammer, he had thought proper to detain
them in his own possession, without rendering to tl e
plaintiff any account of them ; that he, the defendant,
had made himself liable there could be no doubt ;
therefore the only question for the Jury to consider was,
what value ought to be put upon the goods. The plain-
tiff had valued them at 31. 10.., and the defendant's wit-
nesses at 1/. 4s. and 12s. It would be therefore for them,
under all the circumstances, to say to which party they
would give credit, and say to what amount the plaintiff
was entitled.

The Jury merely turned round, and then gave a ver-
dict for the plaintiff, allowing him 4/. for the furniture.
The verdict gave much satisfaction.

LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)

This morning the London General Session of the Peace
was held by adjournment at Guildhall, before Aldermen
SCHOLEY, GARRETT, and COPELAND, the two Sheriffs,
and the RECORDER.

David Sawyer was indicted for assaulting John
Farmer, a nightly patrol and watchman, belonging to
Newgate-street, on the night of the 7th instant, whilst in
the execution of his duty.
The defendant, on the night in question, was creating a
disturbance with the shopman, at the poulterer's shop, ac
the corner of Newgate-market ; he was desired by him to
walk on quietly, but he refused, whereupon he, the
watchman, took him by the collar to remove him, when he
struck him a violent blow in the face and knocked him
down ; he then took him before the Alderman next morn-
ing, and he had been confined ever since.--The Jury found
him Guilty.

The defendant, who stated himself to be a higgler, said
he would admit striking the watchman, who at the time
he considered acted rather prematurely. He was now,
however, heartily sony for what he bad done, and hoped,
as he had a family, consisting of eleven small children, the
Court would be as merciful as it could in its judgment
upon him.
The RECORDER enquired bow long he bad been im-
prisoned ?
Alt. Teague, the keeper of the Compter, said he had
been with him about a fortnight.
The RECORDER said, under the circumstances, the
Court considered the punishment be had already expe-
rienced would be sufficient to teach him to behave with
more propriety for the future.
The defendant was then ordered to pay a fine of sly
pence to the King, and be discharged.
A cabriolet-driver, named French, was indicted for
driving his cab against the cart of a woman named Ann
Smith, by which she was thrown out, and received many
severe bruises.

The prosecutrix and her witnesses were called, but did
not answer.

The defendant aaid he bad served her with notice of
trial, and the person who served it upon her was in Court,
ready to make oath to that effect.
The RECORDER ordered him to enter into his own re-
cognizance in eighty pounds, to appear to answer the charge
at the next sitting of the Court.

The defendant having done so was discharged.
The Court then adjourned.

The new Novel of " The Young Duke," has
bad already, we understand, the honour of two separate
translations in Paris, where the work is a prodigious
favourite. The French critics say that " The Young
Duke" is a perfect fulfilment of the high promise held out
b the author's first work, " Vivian Grey."
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The fine collec-
tion of this Society in the Regent's Park has just received
a most importint addition by the purchase of a noble male
elephant, recently arrived from Madras. Preparations
have been already commenced fur inclosing with a substan•
tial fence a portion of the Society's garden, as a paddock
in which he is to range ; and in the centre of which is to
he formed a spacious pond for the huge animal to bathe ill;
an indulgence peculiarly grateful to these animals. The
elephant reached the gardens on the night of Friday, having
walked from the East India Docks in little more than
two hours. His paces were so active as to compel the
keepers who accompanied him to run frequently, in oftleir
