Stobbs and Wells, Bart.
On Wednesday last, the House of Lords gave judgment, in
favour of Sir William: Francis Elliott, Baronet, in the Appeal
at the instance of the, Earl of Dliatu, try affirming the. Decree of
the Court of Session., 'This important cause, relat4 to the set-

ADVANCED AGE.—Died at 'Montreal, or. the, 19th' Of May,
Charles Lusiniani, Esq., aged 106 years -and 7 mantles..
He
was born at Florence -in October, 1713.- He married'when
and had six children.

The wife of General LAVALETTEi Whose escape
made so much noise some years'since, is still in a private med.
house in Mont-illatre. Her malady is of the melancholy kind,
and she amuses herself with tearing her dresses in long narrow
slips, accompanying the action with a corresponding hissing
sound. Her only paroxysms are when she beholds tier hus.
band ; her conduct is then outrageous. shg is about 45 yearn
of age, and all means have been used for her recovery, but with.,
out effect. Her husband has been again received into favolir,
and is now employed in the King's Household. , ,

GREECE.

The following is an extract of a letter from
Zante, dated,2oth May, 182`5, by Otranto :

" The Egyptian fleet returned for the third time to Modon
from Candia the first week in this month, where they landed the
troops destined to reinforce Ibrahim Paella. On the 13th inst..
the Greek Admiral ill iaulis sent some fire-ships into the har-
bour of Modon, where the Egyptian vessels were at anchor.;
They succeeded in burning a frigate and 4 transports. The rest
of the vessels got under weigh, and stood .out to sea, but the
Greek Commander tlid. not choose to fight, and retired. The
Egyptian Commodore then sailed for Navarino, and took posses-'
sion of the island of Spaggia, which defends the entrance to the
harbour. The Greek garrison of Navarino had been re-
Auced to the last extremity by Ibrahim . Pacha. The place
was a heap of ruins, and it being impossible to defend it
longer, a capitulation was proposed and agreed to on the
18th instant, by which the fortress has been surrendered to
the Egyptian Commander-in-Chief, and taken possession of
by him. 'The lives of the garrison have been spared, and
they are to be embarked on board Austrian vessels, to be
taken to Calamata. This humane conduct on the part of
Ibrahim Pacha cannot fail. to contribute to his fixture suc-
cess. A general massacre was expected; knowing the con-
duct observed by the Greeks when they took the place in 1821
from the Turks, when every soul perished. ThiS account has
been brought here by the Sybille frigate, and Hind sloop
of war. Added to_ this event, I must now mention that
the Morea is torn by civil warfare and dissentions ; the
Primates Lontlo and Ziemis have taken up arms, and, with
their followers, are in open rebellion against the present Go-
vernment. The President Conduriotti . had exerted himself
.to collect a body of troops, but they mutinied' after their defeat
at Nisi, and refused to face the Arabs. Conduriotti has dis-
appeared suddenly from Calamata, and the Greek accounts
from that place received here, openly declare that the Pre-
sident has run away. In Western Greece the Seraskier has
closely invested Missolonglii, but there is a scarcity of Provi-
sions, and I do not think much- dependence ought to be placed
on Albanians. There is little doubt hut that Ibrahim Pacha
will make himself master of the Mores. If he only continues
humane,. the. GMeks will become an easy conquest."

BILLETING yesterday Captain Adams, of the
17th Lancers, complained to the.3lagistrates of Union Hall of
the prevalent: sYstern by which.publicans upon whom soldiers
are billeted, in breach of the military law, make contracts with
the men to find themselves in the one meal, which ought, by
Lw, to be previAled by the landlord himself.

We have received the French Papers of Tues-
day, together with the Hamburgh Mail this, day ;
neither one or other furnish us with any news of
public interest. The French Papers contain some
intelligence relative to the Greeks and Turks ex-
tracted from the German Papers. But so contra-
dictory are they that we declined inserting them,
and wait patiently for more authentic accounts.
An article' from St. Petersburgh, by the Ham-
burgh Mail, contains some regulations for foreign
merchants, permitting them to sell by wholesale
foreign articles to merchants of the Third
Guild and to Peasants, who trade for ready
money. The Berlin Wool Fair has been very
satisfactory to the land-owners. We have ex-
tracted the account, and it will be found in
another column.

A Morning Paper of this day, in its observa-
tions on a small pamphlet lately published and
addressed to the SPEAKER, on the inconveniences
" resulting from the present mode of proceeding
in Committees, on private Bills in Parliament,
with suggestions for a remedy," has quoted a
long passage from the work above-mentioned,
VI here an hypothetical case is put, and from which
we are left to infer the necessity of some altera-
tion in the manner in which proceedings before
Committees on private Bills are conducted. This
hypothetical case is afterwards said very much
to resemble the case of the Liverpool and
Manchester Railroad Bill. The sum total of
the complaint is, that the Railroad Bill en-
countered the most determined opposition in
the Standing Order Committee, and in the Com-
mittee on the Bill itself, that the preamble
to the Bill was carried by a majority 61 3/ 10 30
that 12 of the 36 Members never heard one word
of the evidence ; that on the next day the most
material clauses.wero rejected by a majority of
g the preamble had been
9 to 13 ; and thus the Railroad Bill was aban-
doped,carried.
As s
discredit o
n otn the c no o
w ist,ai :littee, and idoubt, was meant to throw
also on :he per-
sons concerned in opposing the measure, vte will,
as far as we are able (for the love we bear to
theassenting
justice only), state a few of the facts connected
with this Bill, and leave the public to
assentingg to

We shall not attempt to deny
any part of the
hypothetical case, because, never having attendedH
the Committee, we are not in a situation to say
whether it is fact or not ; but having read the
evidence, we can say we are greatly surprized
that 37 Gentlemen could be found to support a
measure, the promoters of which failed to estab-
lish any single fact that could justify the Legis-
lature in sanctioning such an interference with
private property as was proposed by this Bill. If
there were 12 persons in the minority on the
preamble, who had not heard the evidence, a far
greater number must have been in the majority,

or, if they did hear the evidence, they could not
have attended to it.

I o justify Parliament in passing the proposed
Bill, two things were necessary to be established.
Ist. The necessity of the thing, in order to pro.!
(note the convenience of the Public. 2d. The
practicability of the scheme. With regard to
the first of these points, viz. the necessity' of
something being done to facilitate time conVeyance
of goods between Liverpool and Manchester.
It was shewn that on the Duke of 1311/DGE-•
WATER'S Canal alone, 194 flats or barges were
in constant employment; That each barge
averaged 35 tons, and made 'one voyage and a
half in a week; It was ako sheivn that the
daily passage of goods between Liverpool and
Manchester amounted to 1,200 tons at, the
most; some of time witnesses put it' at I,oop.
Thus, then, the Duke's Canal alone was more than
sufficient for the transit of the whole .commerce
between those two towns. But independently
of this, which applies to the existing state of
things, it was shewn that improvements were
in progress, which would enable that Canal
to double the quantity of barges passing on
it, and increase time facilities of passage for the
augmented number. When, however, it is added,
that two other canals, besides the Duke's, are
open for the transit of goods bet Ween Liverpool
and Manchester, we think it ,is clearly shewn,
that the convenience of the public-did not require
further facilities for that purpose. As to the prac-
ticability of the scheme, the case was if possible
even more triumphant. The plans and sections de-
posited in the privateßill office were shewn to be
erroneous and defective, so much.so,-indeed, that
the only method the Counsel of the promoters of,
the Bill could folloW to discredit time testirnony
of the Engineers, who spoke ,as to the imprac-
ticability of the scheme, was to shew that al-
though they (tlie- Engineers) had copies of these
very plans in their hands when they sur-
veyed the proposed line, yet so erroneous, so
defective, and so little accurate were they,.
that these Engineers might, in making their-
surveys have deviated from the.. real proposed-
line—a circumstance which never Could have oc-
curred, if that section amid plan in any way re-
presented the country it was intended. to do-
The estimate also founded on those plans and
sections was equally. erroneous.. Indeed so en-
tirely did the promoters of the. Bill fail in this
most material_ point of their case, that they were
obliged to abandon their own engineer to his fate,
and send down another to survey, the line, that-he
might be produced before time Committee„ and.
correct the statements of the former Gentleman.
Laying aside the difficulties that the nature of
the ground over which:the proposed Railroad was
to pass bad opposed to the scheme, there was yet
another consideration of the first (lonient. It was
never Supposed that a Railroad with animal power
would answer; the promoters of time Bill were.
aware of that, and rested their hopes of .success
the use-of locOrnotiVe engines, and their perfect.
adaptability to the traction of carriages on a Rail'
road. But the evidence even on this point was not
by any means satisfactory. It was proved that thi
utmost speed they could accomplish for a con,

summary of the voluminous evidence adduPs.e.
before the' ,Pommittee, and time statements .011

fearlessly ask, whether any body of men could
found to support a
,measure proved not to be t'e
cessary, and furtherinore, shewn to be imPr'l. to
ticable, even if called for ? With respect
of
the expence occasioned to the projectors

the Bill by this, opposition, it should
.21_10
be remembered; that their opponents "id
in this respect equal cause of complaintl4o
with far greater reason,_fOr the promoters d;!1. 'to
Bill volunteered the expence with a view to
gaia an object, whilst the Landowners an
c t
de,
Canal Companies, were compelled,- in sell,g

A Meeting takes place this day at the CRY of
the Tavern, for adopting measures for t,b
establishment of an University in London ;
h`sc
Lottn MAYoa in the Chair. Any plan t"to.
tends to the diffusion of knowledge ought the
have, and in this COUntry, always 1125/ d'
support support of the higher classes of societYliaTy
we therefore regard the Meeting with' 'fey
ings of peculiar satisfaction. The estabbsce
ment of an University in London will P,,1110'
a classical education in the power of many wri,""biF
means at present exclude them from it. Aihe
grand distinction, and the circumstance that the
London University does not seek the P°waid
of conferring Degrees, removes all re'
ry with the other Universities, and to
may therefore presume it will not have or
encounter the opposition of either Oxf°r" to
Cambridge. The class of persons resortiogde,
these ancient seminaries will be of a higher grseot
and therefore, in this respect, totally.diffier ott
from that which will study in London. ne—
n-
the advantages of an education there will be'
possible, more highly prized than ever.
