CARLISLE ASSIZES.--An action on a charge of
libel, brought by Mr. WHEATLEY, an attorney,
against the Proprietor and Publisher of a Pro-
vincial Journal, entitled The Cumberland Packet,
was tried on the 9th inst. at these Assizes.. Mr.
].;ROUGH 4M was Counsel for the plaintiff, 'and.
Mr. SCARLETT for the defendants, and 'both
played th-ir usual eloqUence. Mr. Wonnswolaff,
the celebrated Poet, was examined as a witness,
and the report of the trial was altogether so inte•
resting, that we regret the want of room for it
this day, but shall certainly insert it to-morroW.
ROME, JULY 17.—The Pope having been in-
formed that there lived in the environs of Perouse
a man 119 years old, gave orders to the Arch-
bishop of that Diocese to visit him; and to afford
hits some assistance, as he was destitute of the..
means of existence. This respectable Prelate
aCcordingly•repaired to his plai.e of abode, where
he fotind the poor wretch stretched upon the
floor, slightly covered with straw. His mince, it
appearS, is Hypolite-Joseph-Bindo, and he
in fact, 119 years and a half old,, as atek.sect.l
by the register of his parish, and some papers.
found in his trunk. This man, in :the' midst, of
the, most profound misery, still preserves all the,
gaiety of his youth has a florid countenance,'
and his sight and hearing are perfect. He is ex.
ceedingly fond of. chatting over, a glass of
lie entered into conversation with the Prelate
without restraint, and when pressed by him eo
quit. his hovel for a place more saleable to leis
,ager " No," said he, " I will not be unfaithful ,o
my, old hut, where .I have passed so many happy
and peaceful years.". lafact„be would not quit it.
but the worthy ecclesiastic gave him such e sum of
money as will guarantee him against future want.
This venerable personage has seen the holy vc,r
five time, and when he was told that the 134 e
had authorised the Curate of his parish to obtain
the money for the expences .of the Jubi4e.by
dispensations, nothing, could equal his joy.
the most moving term& he prayed the Prelate to-
express all his gratitude to the. Sovereign. Pontof,
who,had thus deigned to provide for the ‘,s;afits
of his body and soul."

The recent accounts from recel,,erl by
private letters from Guelderland, state that the heats in that
and the surrounding country have been great to a degree before
seldom known, the grass being completely burnt up, ar.dithe
thermometer frequently at 91 deg. '..1) the shade. The etTects of
the hot weather have been so great that the cattle have every
where been housed and fed in the same way as it is eustoin'ary
to do in winter. There was little or no hope of .relief frern a
good hay crop, the deficiency being great.
SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.---Oil Tuesday last a
respectable female, passing by a corn-warehouse in Price's.
street, was caught under the chin by the loop of one or the
ropes ascending from a cart for another bag of grain, and, by
the counterpoising effect of a descending bag from aloft, was
hoisted up to a perilous height before warm could be taken for
her rescue. The Warehousemen judiciously stopped the hoist-
ing machine gently, and 'owned her into the cart. 61,e was
conveyed insensible to a neighbouring house, but by medical
aid recovered her recollection, with little more injury than the
bruises produced by the pressure of the rope under each ear.---
(Liverpool Courier.)
On Wednesday,- the Lord Bishop of iniNnori
attended divine service at Paddington Church, and afterwards
proceeded to the consecration of a large piece of ground, as an
addition to the Church-yard. This spot was formerly. .the
garden and pleasure-ground of the ancient manor-house of
Paddington, and being adorned with stately timber said a va- •
riety of ornamental gbrubs, presented so picturesque an appear-
ance as to remind us of the beautiful cemetery of Pere-la-
Chaise. The Bishop was attended on this occasion by a nu-
merous company of the Clergy and Gentry of the Pariah and
its vicinity.
Yesterday se'naight, 'whilst a Gentleman. and -
his son, a boy nine years old. were walking by. the side of.one
of the Hampstead ponds, the boy fell into the water, at leak
26 feet deep, and the father, though a good swiMMer, was so
thunderstruck that he could render his child no assistance. It
fortunately happened, Mr. Newbegin, of Highgate, was ansling
at some distance, and on the alarm being given he immediately
ran to the spot, leaped into the water, caught the child as he was
sinking for the third time, and thus saved him from a premature
death. The child was taken in a senseless state to the Fox-.
under-the-Hill public-house, and he was soon recovered and re-
stored to his disconsolate parent. We trust that this prxise-.-
worthy act on the part of Air. Newbegin, will-meet the node*
of the Humane Society.

E3i/ acts from the Moriang l'apers,Aug.l(2, 1825.

► {THE PUBLIC LEDGEr..]
.I'he Paris Papers of Tuesday contain advices
from Zante, dated the 7th ult., which fully con-
firm the intelligence of the arrival of the Egyptian
fleet at .Modon. On the 3d it landed 6000 men
at t avarin, and this news is the more inopportune
far the Greeks, as, besides the large reinforce-
ment for the enemy, in men and stores, which it
announced, it spews that they do not possess that
superiority at sea which is generally supposed.
This is the third or fourth time that the same
fleet has made the passage from Candia to the
;Nlorea, without any molestation on the part of the
'Greeks, that we have heard of. Ibrahim Pacha,
having the sea thus open to him, with the resources
of Egypt at his command,cannot have suffered much
from want of provisions, particularly as he could
besides help himself to the best in a country which
he had nearly subjugated. He could draw upon such
stores as the Greeks had, for the subsistence of his
troops, which, with the supplies he received by
sea, mast have been amply sufficient to meet the
wants, particularly of an army composed of Arabs,
who can support privations, and live on as hard
fare as any other people upon earth. These ad-
vices, though dated the 7th instant, and written
by persons friendly to the Greek cause, make no
mention of any change in the position or circum-
stances of the conflicting armies, though they
mention in that vague and loose manner, charac-
teristic of nearly all reports from the same quar-
ter, that Ibrahim Pasha was surrounded on all
sides by the Greeks in the interior of the Morea.
But, if he had sustained any overwhelming dis-
aster, or met with even a serious repulse, in the
last days of June, it must have been known at
Zante on the 7th of July, where it would have
been proclaimed with an enthusiastic joy, cor-
responding to the warm and generous sym-
pathy, which the people of that island feel for
their Greek brethren in the Morea. We men-
tion this omission the more particularly, as there
are letters in town from Leghorn and Trieste,
which, by rather a singular coincidence, are of
the same date, and speak in the most confident
terms of the total defeat and capture of Ibrahim
Pasha. The intelligence was brought to both
• places by Captains of merchantmen, who had
received it from Greek cruizers. Neither the
place nor the date of the engagement is given ;
but the fact itself is mentioned with a degree of
confidence that would serve to counterbalance
this omission, were it not for the silence of the
letters from Zante, and for the querulous, almost
desponding, tone of the communication from Ge-
neral Roche, which we laid yesterday before our
Readers. From that letter it appears, that the
Greeks could muster with difficulty 900 men to
repel the attack of Ibrahim Pasha ; and it is
therefore improbable that the latter was defeat-
ed and taken three or four days afterwards.—
The improbability of the account is the more
glaring, as it is expressly stated, that the Greeks
who had been sent to molest him in his retreats
were recalled after they , had proceeded but a
short distance. The reason too that is assigned
for their recall, is the imminent risk they in-
curred in continuing the pursuit of so superior
at: enemy, and to whose discipline and skill a
very reluctant homage is more than once paid.

Emoirstsacr POST.;
All the arrivals from the Continent yeiterday
brought intelligence most gratifying to the friends
of liberty, religion, and humanity. They an-
nounced that the event which our hopes and
prayers anticipated had actually occurred, and
that the Ravager of the Morear and the as-
sassins under his command, had at last received
the chastisement due to their cruelties. Sur-
rounded on all sides, and starving in the midst of
the desert which he had created, Ibrahim Pacha
was said to have endeavoured to force his way
through the defile's which lead in the direction of
Corinth, and to have been totally defeated in the
attempt,himselfieverely wounded, taken prisoner,
and carried to Napoli di F. omania, where he
was negociating the capitulation of his whole
army. That' this intelligence may prove true
to its full extent is our most fervent prayer :
—that it is so; there is every reasonable ground
of probability to suppose: First, the news has
not' come from one quarter only, or through one
solitary channel. It Will be seen by our extracts
from letters received in town yesterday, that it
disseminated:itself at different places and through
different agents at the same time. Even Austrian
Captains, the last men to believe or to circulate
any reports favourable to the Greeks, conveyed
it to Trieste; and by the French Journals to the
10th instant, whkh reached us last night by Ex-
press, we find that it was also brought to Leg-
horn by a- vessel belonging to the same nation.—
The accounts, therefore, cannot be represented
as invented and_circulated by the friends of the
deserted Brave. They. proceed from those who
btsve hitherto displayed the:most determined hos-
tiiity, towards ti/ern, and. must therefore.have had
some foundation in truth which enforced convic-
tioh, or else' they would have been rejected as
usual with contemptuous disdain as long as it was
-possible to doubt or-to deny them. Secondly, the
critical position of Ibrahim Pacha, after his re-
pulse at:the. Mills near Napoli, was positively
ascertained-:by the clear and authentic Reports of
General Roche, and it was such, that the present
consummation must appear to every impartial
mintinot-its forced, but it.naturatiesult.. Thirdly,.
it almost certain that Ibrahim's. next attempt
to ex-Li-kale himself, after his failure at Napoli,
would be in the direction of Corinth ;. for if he
'succeeded, he wojild have to march through a
country as yet uninjured, and full of resources to,
:satisfy the ~ants of his army. The isthmus be-
sides would;iirtie'as a bridge to enable him to
fall back; and j'oiti
.the Turkish Armies in Greece
Proper; whereas, if .he attempted to retreat
the -lay he had- come,, he. would have to pass
throlfgh, a 'devastated ..track which would yield
him, no. ,supplsr, and supposing that he .reach-
ed Navarino, be might find that place blockad-
ed by the Greek fleet, and himself as completely

surrounded and as destitute of resources as wlven
he was in the centre of the Morea. To stay
where he was, General Roche informed us, was
impossible, and besides would have had no object,
for he only possessed the ground on which his
fatigued, reduced, and provisionless army stood.
In a few days he must have surrendered without
a blow. It was therefore .necessary for him to
endeavour to force the defiles, and to do so in
the direction of Corinth, so that all the probabi-
lities, nay the necessities of the case agree with
the preliminary details hitherto received of the
reported event. That the Greeks should be able
to resist and to repel him in passes perfectly
known only to themselves, where the superior
discipline of his troops was of no avail, and where
they had not only held all the strong grounds
with superior numbers, but had long prepared
every means of defence and annoyance which
could stop and destroy an enemy, is not a thing
calculated to excite incredulity. That the im-
portance of his object and the wish of inspirit-
ing- his troops may have led him to expose his
person in such a manner as to be wounded and
taken prisoner, is equally natural. And that
the result of a repulse under such circumstances
must be the ultimate capitulation of his army,
is a matter not of calculation only, but of cer-
tainty. We therefore trust that an event which
means the probabilities and necessities of the
' case at every point—an event which satisfies the
claims of human and Divine Justice, and vindi-
cates the governing Providence of an Almighty
God, will shortly be proved to have occurred
by the most irrefragable evidence. Hitherto,
we admit, we have nothing official.

[NEW TIMES.]
We have learrkt that a combination of work-
men not far from the metropolis, who are holding
out against their employers, have lately obtained
five hundred pounds in a manner which may lead
some of the parties concerned into a very un-
pleasant situation. The committee of the com-
bination applied to the managers of a benefit
club, and, by dint of persuasion, induced the lat-
ter to commit a direct breach of trust, by selling
out of the stocks the above sum of money, con-
trary to an express regulation of the club, and
lending it to the combination. Our informant
goes on to state, that the committee who had thus
fraudulently obtained possession of the property
of the benefit, added the further deception of
stating to their own society that the 5001. was not
a loan but a gift, to enable them to hold out the
longer against their employers. We are in pos-
session of the names of some of the parties con-
cerned ; but as legal steps will probably be re-
sorted to on the occasion, we do not think it ad-
visable to enter into further particulars at
present. We have been called alarmists for,,
warning the public at large, and the workmen
themselves, of the dangers of combination ; but
no one who dispassionately considers the extent
to which those dangers have already gone, can
deem our warnings premature. We do not
refer to the actual murders committed in Dublin,
or to the lives lost at Sunderland : our thoughts
are principally directed to two measures ut-
terly destructive of all freedom of contract
between master and workmen—we mean the
sending itinerant Delegates throughout the coun-
try to form a combination of combinations, and
the collecting funds for the support of this com-
prehensive system. Except that it is not, at the
present moment, directed to a political end, the
the system is exactly analogous to the Catholic
Association, which Government so wisely put
down at the beginning of the last Session. If
such an Imperiurn in imperio be permitted to sub-
sist, it must soon stifle the national industry, and
it will easily be led by designing men from com-
mercial to political objects.

EBIIITISH PRESS.]

The intelligence received yesterday from the
Morea by way of Trieste is highly important, if
it he correct, as we belieo. it is. We stated seve-
ral days ago that Ibrahim Pacha was completely
surrounding by the Greeks, and could not escape
without an action, which, under all circumstances,
must to him have been full of peril. It appears
from the letters, of which we give extracts in an-
other column, that the Egyptian Commander has
been made prisoner after having been wounded.
The details of the battle are not yet published,
but we learn that it took place in the neighbour-
hood of Corinth. The victory over the Egyptian
troopsmust have been of the most decisivecharacter.
The Commander-in-Chief, the son of the Viceroy,
could hardly have been captured, unless the army
had been routed. We may therefore conclude
that the danger that menaced the independence
of Greece from that quarter no longer exists. The
patriots, in that case, have triumphed 'over the
last obstacle by which their success was endan-
gered or impeded. We shall look with anxie-
ty for the official confirmation of the news
conveyed in these letters from Trieste ? The
Austrian Observer of the 30th ult. arrived last
night. The information it contains from the Mo-
rea is not so recent as we have already re-
ceived. It announces; that the advanced posts
of Ibrahim Pacha were in front of Napoli di Ro-
mania, at the place known by the name of the mills.
The dispatch we published on Wednesday from
General Roche gave us the particulars of the
barbarian's defeat, and his subsequent retirement
t. upon Tripolizza. A story, evidently untrue, was
in circulation that Jussuf Pacha had landed a
considerable corps from Lepanto, on the opposite
coast between Patras and Vostizza, and that
Missolonghi had been taken by storm. Even the
Austrian Observer admits that these rumours re-
quire confirmation to entitle them to credence ;
but it adds, by way of consoling the enemies of
Greek independence, that the reports of the re-
taking of Salona by the Patriots, and of the vic-
tories of Goura, are equally without the slightest
foundation. This Journal states, as a piece of
certain intelligence, that 64 the division of the
Egyptian fleet, commanded by Hussein Boy, con.
sisting of nine frigates, nine corvettes, V. brigs and
schooners which had been sent to Candia, to
convey to the Morea a part of the Albanians still
on the island, sailed on the 23d June from Suda
with 50,000 infantry and 800 horse, and steered
. together with the fleet of the Captain Pacha to-

wards Navarino, near which place the combined
fleet, of above 80 sail, was seen at the beginning
of July by an Austrian ship. This same ship
also met between the Isle of Cerigo and Cape
St. Angelo the united Greek fleet under Sach-
toury and Miaulis."

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We received last night Brussels Papers to the
11th August. That political coxcomb, the Auto-
crat of the aussias, has, it seems, issued an Edict
to compel the Jews to reside in the interior, as
they are the persons chiefly engaged in smuggling.
So long as the duties on importation are high
enough to make smuggling profitable,there will be
no want of Christians to supply the place of the
Jews, otherwise Russian Christians must be of a
very different stamp from all the Christians with
which we are acquainted. The traders of the United
States do not rank very high in point of principle,
but we never hear of their smuggling—and why ?
Because the duties are not so high as to make it
worth a man's while to smuggle. But this is the
way the world is governed. And yet this poor
man trotted about the metropolis and Paris—
looked at every thing ; and, no doubt, believes
what he has been told—that he knows every
thing !
We have perused with great interest several
letters, dated Trieste, 28th ult. They give most
important intelligence, and are, we hope, from
circumstances, entitled to some credit. Two ves-
sels had arrived from the Levant, with nearly si-
milar reports respecting great successes of the

Greeks ; one of them had been spoken by an
Austrian vessel off Cape Matapan, the other by
a Greek cruiser. The Captains had reported
that the Greeks had been completely successful
in the vicinity of Napoli di Romania. Ibrahim
Paella had found his situation so critical, that
he commenced a rapid retreat, but the Greek
forces having taken possession of all the passes,
he was brought to action, and completely de-
feated; himself a prisoner, and brought to the
capital severely wounded. Both accounts agree
in this general outline. We are, however, sorry
to state, that the Egyptian fleet had succeeded
in throwing in reinforcements into Navarino.—
Between five and six thousand men are reported
to have landed in the neighbourhood of Nava-
-1 rino.—(ibid.)

LMORNING HERALD.]
It is now almost a twelvemonth ago since the
unfortunate events in Berners'-street began to at-
tract so much of public attention ; and which
(to say nothing of the awful catastrophe involved
in them), brought ruin and distress upon so many
individuals. We well remember auguring at the

time, the gulph of law and litigation which the
affair would become involved in,and the consequent
delays and expences which would ensue. Rivalut-
torneys struggled for the golden prize ; while the
creditors looked on with dismay at a prospect,
which seems to have been but too fully realized.
Only one dividend has as yet been made, and that
we believe to no very considerable amount ; the
main question as to the right of the Bank Di.
rectors to claim as creditors, remains as yet
wholly undecided, and seems as if it were not
yet put in u train for decision. Now, if
there ever was a plain and obvious question,
as far at least as the facts connected with

it was. concerned, and one therefore which ad-
mitted of a speedy decision, this, we should
imagine, was it. And if the Bank Directors
really can persuade themselves to agitate a ques-
tion in which all the world are against them,
surely the sooner it is done, and the matter set at
rest, the better. Do not let them, when they
have failed, as fail it is supposed they must, have
to bear the additional odium attached to their
delay and indecision. We do not mean to impute
blame to any one ; but surely there must be a
fault somewhere, or in the system, which can
cause or suffer such delay as this ; and that, while
in all probability a mass of individual distress is
struggling, and perhaps sinking ,under the conse-
quences of this extensile arid calamitous event.

[THE TIMES
The poor seamen of Sunderland, who rather
strangely attempted to follow up their " loyal"
association by an attack upon the King's peace,
and on the persons and property of his subjects,
have addressed a letter to Mr. Peel in the nature
of a defence of their proceedings. Disposed as
we are, in common with the bulk of the na-
tion, to look with a partial eye at the in-
terests of that brave and valuable body of men,
it would undoubtedly have afforded us much
satisfaction to find that they had been able to
exonerate themselves from the blame of having
provoked by their misconduct the fatal punish-
ment with which some of their unhappy associates
were visited on this recent occasion : but on their
own showing the seamen were manifestly in the
wrong. What the differences may have been
between the ship-owners and the men is beside
the present question. Even admitting that the
sailors were unreasonable;and that they demanded
from the owners what the lat ter would have been
unwise to grant, the men had a right to be un.
reasonable, they had an undisputed right to
make exorbitant claims upon the shipowners, at
their own peril—that is, at the risk of being
thrown out of employment, and of seeing other
seamen supply their places on board the coal-
ships of Sunderland ; but beyond That express
limit the sailors had no right to proceed. Yet
what is the statement of their own case, trans-
mitted to his Majesty's Government ? They re-
solved to man two boats, and to " invite the men
out of the light ships" coming into port, as a
means of bringing about an accommodation ; or,
in ether words, an unqualified submission on the
part of the merchants. Be it so. The boats
thus manned to meet the homeward-bound
shipping, by some unaccountable vagary
of their
cockswains, instead of rowing for the harbour s
mouth, ran up the river, where none but ships
with full cargoes, and outward bound, were to be
met with. These ships, they say, were protected
.by the policemen, and ship-owners as petty con-
stables, armed 'with pistols. Well, what business
was that of theirs ? Were the guards on boaru
those ships for the purpose of molesting the confe-
derated seamen—or for any other end but the recu-

ray of the vessels and their crews. " An alterca-
tion" then we are told took place between the men
in the boats, and the sailors on board the Busy,
" concerning their clandestine manner of going to
44 sea." This is worthy of notice. It seems plain
that the altercation must have been begun by the
associators, inasmuch as the crews of ships going
to sea, and engaged in a serious duty, were not
very likely to volunteer a contention with men
whom they were neither seeking to advise with
nor to controul. But not only were the disaffected
seamen originators of the verbal dispute,—the
manual outrage which followed, and which pro-4
duced such sanguinary consequences, was, accord-
ing to their own acknowledgment, perpetrated by
them. From abusing the ship's crew for going to
sea " clandestinely,"—that is, without permission
from these tyrant rulers,—the loyal associators
were" irritated to board the ship!" They "car-'"
ried the ship, and drove their assailants aft."
Who were these assailants, we wonder ? Why,
the men who were acting honestly in their own
defence, and in that of the property intrusted to
them : these were the " assailants," who are
said, in the tone of a victorious dispatch-wri-
ter, to have been " driven aft" by the gal-
lant outlaws that boarded them. It is evi-
dent that the poor fellows who thus address
Mr. Peel have got into bad hands, and are in
want of better teaching. Far be it from their
country to deal harshly with them ; and far from
us to upbraid them with their extreme and ruin-
ous indiscretion. They are prosecuting what
they conceive to be a right ; but they must learn
to respect the rights of others, or they will have
no security of their own.
