THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 25.
Last week there was a tolerable good supply of most descrip-
tions of Grain. This morning the quantities of Wheat, Bar-
ley, Beans, . and Pease, from Essex, Kent, and Suftidk are'
moderate. There are several vessels in from the North with
Oats. The trade for prime Wheat is dull at last week's prices,
but all other sorts are almost unsable on any terms. The ex-
pectation of the ports opening for Barley has completely stag-
nated this trade. The reports of the Bean crops being unfa-
vourable, this article is tull 2s. per quarter higher. Pease of
both kinds are rather higher. The trade for sweet Oats conti-
nues brisk, and last week's prices are fully maintained for such,
other sorts are dull but not cheaper. The Flour trade remains
heavy.

DREADFUL ACT OF BnuTALTTy.—On Sunday
morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, the inhabitants of
Jew's-row, Chelsea, were thrown into a state of alarm and con-
fusion by a combat between two women of the lowest descrip-
f on, both intoxicated, and urged on by a host of drunken
b ickmakers, and others of the same cast. The fight continued
for some time, when a young man, of decent appearance, by
trade a bricklayer, named Thomas lly, came up, and endea-
voured to prevent the fight, remonstrating with the most active
in this disgraceful transaction on the impropriety of their con-
duct; upon which a fellow, named Tutlaw, who was acting as
second, knocked him down, and then kicked him most violently
o 3 the lower part of the abdomen. The unfortunate
man cried out in dreadful agony, and endeavoured to get on
his feet, but fell again, upon which Tutlow and his companions
disappeared. Some passengers raised Guy from the ground,
but he was completely bent double, and threw up a quantity of
blood. By the advice of a gentleman. he was assisted to the
Westminster Hospital, and on being examined by Mr. Henry
Pitman' the house surgeon, it appeared the injuries he had
received were dreadful, one of the principal vessels was frac-
tured, and the scrotum otherwise destroyed. Every effort that
medical skill could direct was used in the most humane man-
ner, but of no avail ; the unfortunate man expired in dreadful
pain. The sensation caused by the shocking circumstance in
Chelsea is very great indeed. An inquest will be held on the
body this afternoon.

STA 881 NG.--A n instance of this revolting crime,
at one time very rare in this country, but now become alarm-
ingly common, we regret to say, happened here last week. Neil
Macpherson, a young man, who resides with his parents, in a
house in Bridge-street, had gone home, after indulging too freely
in drinking spirits. In the other end of the same house, a person
of the name of Fairley resides, 1i
nd to whose wife Macpherson
applied offensive language. Fairley interfered to resent the in-
sult thus offered, whenthe offender struck him, and drew a
knife and inflicted several wounds on the wife about the head
and breast ; he then pursued the husband and gave him also
several wounds. His parents, we understand, are decent and
sober, and have often experienced such unbecoming treatment
from their depraved son, as called for the interference of their
neighbours. On seeing the consequences of his unconquerable
rage, he entered his own room, locked the door, and escaped by a
back,window; and has, as yet, eluded the vigilance of his pur-
suers. Fortunately none of .the wounds ate considered of a
dangerous nature.— ( &Whig Journal.

[nnrfrrstt Pit Ess.l
According to the news from Greece in the Ger-
man Papers received yesterday the fall of Nava-
rino was less the result of Ibrahim Paella's
strength than of the internal dissentions of the
Greeks themselves. Conduriottis had every
thing prepared to raise the siege, after the bril-
liant achievement of Miaulis off Modon, when
the soldiery suddenly mutinied in favour of Co-
locotroni, whom they insisted upon having placed
at their head. Conduriottis was obliged to yield,
and the seditious chieftain was liberated and in-
vested with the supreme command. The Moreotes
appear to have had no confidence in the talents
of the military leaders appointed by the Exe-
cutive Authority, and they took advantage
of the critical moment to compel the Go-
vernment to submit to the ascendancy of Co-
locotroni. During these proceedings it was
that Navarino surrendered, and Ibrahitn was
enabled to make his incursions into the Mores.
Since Colocotroni has assumed the command, the
numbers and spirit of the army have increased,
and there seems to be every reason to expect that
Ibrahim Pacha will be crushed before any rein.
forcements can arrive to succour him. It does
not seem from these ad vices that Colocotroni had
violated his oath of obedience to the Government,
or abused his' power. Let us hope that a sense
of common danger will prevent any of these cri-
minal excesses, which would certainly and im-
mediately lead to the destruction of all. Redschid
Pacha, it is stated, had began his retreat from
Missolonghi. We are glad also to learn that
Count Santa Rosa did not peri:, in the defence
of Navarina. Ile was severely wounded, but
escaped with Alaurocordato, previous to the ca-
pitulation.

[MORNING POST.I
The French Papers to the 23d inst. received
last night by express, endeavour to make it ap-
pear that the two camps which are to be formed
at Bayonne and Perpignan are to be " rather
camps of manoeuvre than observation." This
is not quite denying the latter. The fact indeed
bears its own inferences along with it, and the
assembling of two bodies of troops in the French
territory at the two points occupied by the last
Army of. Observation within a few miles of the
Spanish frontier, showed too plainly that the
object is the same, to allow a positive con-
, tradiction to be given. " What appears cer-
tain," says the Quotidiennc, " is, that a part
of the Regiments stationed in the ninth mi-
litary arrondissement will be concentrated
in the vicinity of Perpignan, and will manoeuvre
under the superintendence of Lieut.-General
D'Alton, and Field Marshals La Tour du Pin
and Baltazar- d'Arcy appointed to inspect them.
Those troops, until fresh orders be received, shall
not have the 'special Commander which they
would have if they formed an Army of Observa-
tion. The same will be the case with respect
to the regiments stationed in the tenth military
arrondissement. They will concentrate themselves
at Bayonne, under the eyes of Lieut.-General
Pellepert and Field-Marshals D'Attremont and
Zospfel. It may be remarked, that there is
no cavalry in this assemblage ; • the cause of
this is obvious. The regiments belonging to that
arm are almost all quartered in the North of
France, where it is easier to find pasture for their
horses than in the. South." It is possible • that
some of the reasons which have induced this crea-
tion of the new Army of Observation, are the
changes which have lately taken place in the
Spanish Ministry, where the moderate party are
not only losing ground, but. have been deprived
of some of their chiefs to make room for the re-
introduction of the most violent Ultras.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
Last night we received Ilamburgh Papers to
the 19th instant. An article from St. Peters-
burgh, dated the 6th, announces the arrival, in
that city, from Warsaw, of Count Nesselrode,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and of Baron Von
Deibitsch, Chief of the Emperor's Staff. On the
2d, there was a Grand Military Parade, in the
presence, of the Emperor, and of his two Bro-
thers-in-law, the Princes of Orange and Wei-
mar. Upon this occasion, the veterans, of 20
years' standing, wore, for the first time, a braid-
ing on the left arm, recently introduced. In
a few days afterwards, his Imperial Majes-
ty, accompanied by the Prince of Orange, was to
proceed to Novogorod, to examine the Military
Colony estalished there. All the resources,
moral and physical, of that vast Empire, are thus
turned to military purposes; and it is not, there-
fore, astonishing, that its armies are so numerous,
so well organized, and so distinguished for their
discipline. Their numerical strength is already
computed at more than a million ; and as it is
daily increasing, it will be flung, sooner or later,
upon the neighbouring States, with the irresistible
force of a mountain torrent. The Government, in
weilding this- mighty engine, has the consummate
art to conceal it, as much as possible, from the
eyes of the rest of the world ; and those Govern-
ments, which are perhaps destined to become the
victims of that Colossal Power, instead of
taking timely measures to avert the danger,
are only solicitous how they can best alienate the
affections, and paralize the energies, of their sub-
jects. The trade of Odessa was very considera-
ble in the month of May. The exports amounted
to 2,600,000 rubles; 96 ships arrived in the port,
among which were several Egyptian. In the
extensive intercourse which Egypt has established
with that port, we have a good idea of the active
genius of the Viceroy ; and if Mahomet Ali live
some years longer, Egypt, as compared to the rest
of the East, will becomea flourishing State,and the
centre perhaps of a powerful Empire. Already
does the son of this singular personage speak of
annexing the Morea to the other possessions of
his father ; and as be bas troops, shipping, and
money, more than sufficient fur such an enterprise,
the probability is, that he will not be disappoint-
ed in his expectations. Once master of the
Morea, he would (soon, either by force or in-
trigue, get possession of the Islands; and under

the able and liberal rule of %hornet Ali it wettltt
not be long before they recovered from the torpid
state to which they have been reduced by the de-
bilitating policy of the Porte.

[NEW iIMELI
It.is impossible to look around us on the Corn.-
bination of Workmen, which are forming in 411
parts of the country, without feeling it necessary
to keep a strict watch on theirproCeedingij,sed;
to scrutinize carefully their avowed sentiments,
and opinions. On Monday last the Ship Sawyers
held a meeting ; and on Tuesday the WOrking
Shipwrights also held a meeting. The professed
object of their assembling %%as to adopt certaiu:r.es,
solutions, with the view of coming to anarnicabls.
accommodation with their masters ; and it is satis-
factory to observe that even the most stirring -mid
zealous spirits among them strongly declared
themselves advocates for a prompt accommoda7
tion of all past differences. If the Workmen
are seriously anxious for this object, they "iiiiff
not find any insuperable obstacle 'to its attain,:
ment ; but we would particularly •recommend
them to keep in view the friendly waroing.of 11r.
Dealtry, the Chairman of the West Riding •Ses:.
sions, in his address to the Grand Jury. The
Worthy Magistrate said, " it might be well, for
every mechanic to be exceedingly attentive to
the opinions and movements of those by' Whom
he is guided, to assure himself of the soundness
and reasonableness of the measures recomr
mended, and that his own jue.gment may Ise
satisfied, that what he is advised to is for the ge-
neral good of the mechanics, and not detrimental
to the interest of the trade in general, and so ulti-
mately detrimental to themselves: and they
should also be cautious that there 'prevails no in-
fluence, from passion or prejudice, which they
ought by no means to suffer." To this admo
nition we will add another. Let them not in-
dulge tire flattering belief that because work. is
plenty now it will always be so. Let them think
of a rainy day, arid remember that if they de-
mend excessive wages, they do but increase the
advantages which foreign shipping has in too
many instances over British. In Mr. Cock'::
" case of the London Dock Company," it is stet.
ed that in the short time which has elapsed since
the passing of Stat. 4, Geo. IV. c. 77, (the 18th
of July 1823,) by which Act foreign ships were
allowed to import and export to and from the
countries to which they belong, on the same terms
as British ships, " a vast increase has already
taken place in the number and tonnage of foreign
vessels arrived from the north of Europe, and a
very general opinion still prevails among Ship:.
owners, that unless the Registry Laws be
repealed, to admit of their building their vessels
abroad, or that great reductions take place in the
price of materials for building and victualling,
accompanied with a reduction of wages in this
country, British shipping will, in a very; few
years, be wholly superseded in every trade, in
which a foreign vessel can be employed." An ac-
count is subjoined, the result of which is, thatitt
the trade with Norway, Sweden, Denmark,Pruss
sia, and Germany,comparing 1824 with 1822,th-ere
was an increase of 688 Foreign ships, compt'rditi
123,323 tons and 5,117 men, and a decrease of 58.
British ships, comprising 12,201 tons, and 513
men. In the trade with Russia and Belgium,—
Increase of 324 foreign ships, 30,361 tons, 1,279
men—decrease of 161 British ships, 16,060 tons;
and 877 men. In both trades together, an in-
crease of 1,012 foreign ships, 153,584 tons, 6,392
men; and a decrease of '219 British shiliS,
28,261 tons, and 1,390 men. These circumstances
certainly deserve the serious consideratiow:ot.
the English working shipwrights, who cab-
not doubt that what is detrimental to the
trade in general must be detrimental to their
own personal' interests; and who must be sensi-
ble that, if they demand excessive wages, they
will make it impossible for the British builder
to enter into competition with foreigners, anti.
that hence must ensue the total ruin of the ship-
ping trade, and the transfer of the capital 'to
other countries.

[MORNING HERALD.]
In addition to the remarks we made the other
day relative to the Post Office, we have to notice
another disinclination to an improvement in the
saute quarter, which it was generally suppiised
would have taken some time since; we mon ui itt
the extension of the limits of the Twopenny
Post in proportion to the enlarged state °Obi
metropolis, from new buildings ; and also that
some sort of livery or costume would hitee
been provided for those by whom this part of
the public service is now performed. In
reference to the first of these objects, one
would imagine that it could not require a ma-
inent's consideration to show the absurdity .of
different parts of one and the same street Lein:
considered in town and country, and ai -such•
subject to different rates of postage ; and of ttAit
part which is doomed to rustication pay in
highest rate, and having at the same time twO.or
three deliveries less in the day. The obvious thing
is to draw a new line for the Twopenny Post deli-
very—say a circle of three, four, or five miles
from the Royal Exchange, or rather, fromSamer-
set Muse, which is the centre of the metropolis;
and it would be advisable, we thiiik, at the_same
time, to extend the limits of the Three-penny
Post to fifteen or twenty miles instead of
To be sure this latter suggestion might be -ques-
tionable on the score of expellee. It would ne
cessarily include a better description of convey-
ance than the horses on which the melt now tra-
vel, which seem alike destitute of flesh, corn, and
speed. There is no doubt but that by the want
of accommodation in these respects, as well as
those mentioned in our former article upon the
subject, the post office revenue is much dete-,
riorated, many letters being sent by coacheis
and other conveyances, which would go by post,
were the facilities for their more prompt and ex-
tensive delivery provided for in the way we have
suggested. We are sorry that the Session of
Parliament has passed away without the subject.
being noticed there ; and we hope. that the ne-
cessity for its being done in the next will be. obt
viaced by a speedy and effectual attention to if,.
on the part of those, whose duty it is to make the;
department over which they preside, at once alt

productive, and as great a curivenieace as possi-
ble.

[THE TIMES
There was on Saturday, the 9th instant, a
dinner given by. the working—(" operative !" the pedants !
why cannot they speak plain English ?)--working cotton-spis-
ners at Manchester, to their delegates, who had returned from
London, after having, to a certain extent, succeeded in pro-
curing an amendment to the Bill for shortening the hours of
labour on behalf of children employed in the cotton-manufac-
tories. There has of late been an outcry raised against insti.
tutions for facilitating the acquisition of knowledge by the poor.
One party says that it will unfit them for manual labour, as if,
the habits of industry were not improved and strengthened by
whatever adds to the general efficiency of the mind. We are
told by another party, that these mechanic institutes are radi-
cal inventions for the wicked purpose of approximating the hi-
dustrious classes to their superiors, whom fortune has made
independent of their own industry, and of all mental exercise
whatever. Of those, at least, who offer this enlightened ob-
jection, it may be fairly said, that if they wish to widen, in-
stead of narrowing, the separation between themselves and the
objeCts of their jealousy, the diffusion of knowledge among ,
the latter will be the readiest method of ensuring so lau-
dable an end. But, in fact, it is obvious to a common under.
standing, that idleness and vice must be gradually over-
powered thtoughout any class of the community, in al-
most the same proportion in which the thoughts and tastes
of its members are directed to nobler pursuits ; and that
the best resources against the gin-shop and club-room, where
the earnings •of so many fathers, husbands, and youths, are
at .this, moment wasted, their spirits embittered, and their
course of life depraved, will consist in a provision of sound
materials on which their now vagrant intelligence can employ
itself, in the bosom of their families, and the quiet cultiva-
tion and consequent improvement of their little households.—
To such persons, again, as are of opinion that institutions
like those to which we have adverted, would terminate in mere
humbug, the lower class of our countrymen being too coarse
and too degraded to relish or profit by them, we remark,
that whoever attends an assemblage of the labouring manu-
facturers in this country, brought together for any specific
subject of consideration, will go away struck, and, if it be
not his own fault, edified by the sober, manly, and liberal
sentiments of the speakers, not seldom indeed by the Acute-
ness and sagacity which distinguish the views of the mecha-
nics on questions both difficult in themselves, and trying to
the impartiality of men whose children's bread is involved in
them. We have been much interested by the proceedings of
the above-mentioned Manchester dinner, nut merely for the
good sense and perfect order which reigned among the com-
pany, but for the right spirit and grateful feeling which
was evinced on every occasion when a name or an occurrence
happened to he referred to, in any degree fitted to call it forth.
The Chairman, a Mr. Ashton, began by recommending "a
" reasonable and respectful obedience to their employers—and a
" ready submission to the laws," as the best means of &hewing
that they deserved better treatment than " had been marked
" out for them in a recent Act of Parliament." If, as it would
appear from the context, the Chairman meant the late Act for
protecting one set of workmen from outrage and persecution,
carried sometimes even to murder, by others—we really. do
hope that no inducement will prevail upon Parliament to with-
draw such a necessary shield of die weak and unoffending
against the turbulent, audacious, and vindictive workmen.—
The individual in the chair, and some of those who followed
him, seem to have considered the new law as an act against
combinations of the journeymen. It is no such thing—they
may combine as numerously and as obstinately as they please;
it is a law against tyranny, injustice, robbery, and cruelty—a
law for putting down aggression, and securing the freedom of
labour. The spinners of Manchester were wholly unjustifiable
in regarding it under a different light. The health of his Ma.
jesty, was drank with four times four. Lord Suffield was
warmly eulogized for his persevering efforts in the cause of
justice and humanity. Mr. Tulk, Mr. Brotherton, Sir F.
Burdett, Messrs. Hobliouse and Hume, were all drank with
expressions of gratitude and affection. The last toast was" the
Master Cotton Spinners of Manchester," which drew out our
old friend Hodgins—a man who evidently thinks for hiroSelf,
and stands up sturdily for whatever opinion his powerful mind
has formed. Ile wished fur free discussion upon all subjects
which he thought " would settle matters better than any law ;"
but how, we must rejoin, would you settle with men who prefer
knocking a fellow-workman's brai:ls out to answering him ?
He alluded to one master, named Wigan, who worked his
people-15 or 16 hours a-day, and then answered his own pre-
liminat.feeinark, by asking whether that was not " a case in
which it would be right to interfere by law ?" Hodgins spoke
highlrin -fifour of machinery—a doctrine from which his
hearers' dissented. He further dissuaded his hearers from
wishing to see, the hours of labour-curtailed too much, adding
shrewdly, that if such were the case, English masters could not
maintain a competition with foreigners in the market. The
audience overlooked- this just conclusion, and expressed their
dislike of the warning, which it justified. Mr. Hodgins then
affirmed the dishonesty of reducing taxes to such an extent as to
endanger the funds, and sat down, holding cheap enough, as it
appeared, the symptoms of disapprobation which sonic parts of
his speech had excited. He is a thorough sample of a self-
taught, sound-headed, liberal, and vigorous Englishman.

[MORNING CIIRONICLE.]
The fate of the Motion-List shows how irra-
tional it would be to expect the Court of Chancery to effect even
the slightest reform of its own confessed abuses. A late remedy
is found for a long abitse, it is nominally adopted fora short
time, after which the Court, never having really tried it, pro-
nounces it mischievous, and returns to the ancient abuse with
an alacrity which cannot be too much admired. It is very plain
that the vices of the Chancery system will never be cured
from within, for this simple reason, that the evils fall
on the suitors, while the reform galls the Court ; the
smallest inconvenience attendant on the reform appears
therefore to• the Court a grievance more intolerable than
the greatest sum of inconvenience suffered by the suitors. If
a man were to put himself through a course of physic for the
benefit of another, he may be well assured, that he would be
extremely apt to find fault with the prescription, to neglect its
directions, and to throw the boluses and black draughts out
of the window as good for nothing, when he felt a twinge
in his unnamepble lower regions. Something like this case
is. that 'of 'Chancery when subjecting itself to rules devised
for the advantage of suitors. Before the Motion List. was
introduced, a ,practice prevailed which was especially dear
to the seniors within the bar, and which possessed the in-
estimable 'precious property of encouraging extraordinary
impudence . or sycophancy near the top of the profession—
motions were made according to the seniority of the Coun-
sel who held them, consequently they were given only to
Gentlenleta of long standing, anti some two or three whose im-
portunities the Chancellor found it difficult to resist, or who
had acquired, or were supposed to have acquired the ear of the
Court, 'by certain qualities agreeable to the high and mighty,
engrossed' nearly the whole of this business. Thus a sort of
monopoly in tile making of motions was created, the injustice
and.incenveniendes of which are so obvious that we do not think
itriceesiary to b:.2arg,e on them. The Motion List was proposed
to obviate this abuse, and as we have explained in a former
article, to secure the 'hearing of motions in their regular succes-
sion, accortling to -their dates. The Lord Chancellor, how-
ever, defeated the end of the regulation by taking certain cases,
which, a,4 ill luck would have it, hear good names, out of their
turns. Ills Lordship, and two friends that he has in the world,
contend 'that the peculiar circumstances of these cases justified
the irregularity ; and with reference to that of Lord Ormond,
we are told, that had not the business been dispatched as it was,
creditors to the amount of 400,0001, would. have' been kept out
of. their 'money at the risk of ruin, and that purchasers would
alio have been kept oat of their property. This is a hard case,
we grant, but it is not a peculiar case ; on the contrary, it is an
every day case in Chancery ; apd if these circumstances are ad-
raided tolurnish fair ground; for preference in defiance of rules, I
and to 'call irresistibly for dispatch in despite of habits of
delay, grievously perplexed will the Lord Chancellor be to
settle the point of precedence in respect of the hard. cases
of creditors and purchasers, and sorely will he he put to his
speed in promptly deciding on motions involving similar con-
sequences. All rules'have their inconveniences, but the ques-
tion is, whether those inconveniences are not greatly over-
balanced by the general good. If Beauvoir and Rhodes, and
Lind Ormond, had waited their turn, the parties might have
suffered some hardship,. but many others would have justly
profited by the strict observance of the regulation, and method
—an almost necessary cause of progress would have been intro-
duced into the practice of the Court. Had the rule also been
adhered to, we much question whether the Lord Chancellor
would have had to remark pn the peeping of the attorneys, who
would then have been able to form some notion when their
business was likely to come on. By taking things out of turn,
he rendered the constant attendance of the Solicitor necessary,
for who could say in what order the motions would be dis-
patched 7 They ri;ight or might not come on, no one could tell,
**no reliance could be placed on the routine of the list. The
motion-paper was; however, in one point of view, undoubtedly
an ugly document; and, considering what we are now about to
mention, we cannot wonder that it did not find favour in the
Chancellor's eyes. It was a sort of tell-talc, and presented
as extremely long catalogue of things undone, which exposure
must needs have been extremely disagreeable to his Lordship.
To make the matter worse, also, the motions. bore their dates,
which said the most uncivil things imaginable to the Chan-
cellor. Of all the libels thai.'have ever. been' uttered-akiiiiiiif
this, great,, and gifted personager, the. alums' donini causes
