ollbwing circuitstances :
' It appeared 'that the prisoner had a sin who was convicted
qt the lait Old Bailey Sessions of Tricking pockets. The ino--
befbrejhe trial, used every exertion to procure witnesses
to his character, and subsequently to obtain such testimonials
as might tend to procure ti nriugatiuu Of pithishment. Among
Other persOns, prisoner applied to Mr. "Hansard, printer, of
Salisbury7square, with whom the boy had fqrmerV been an
apprentice ; but Mr. 11. not having it in his power to speak in
favour of the lad, declined all interference in the matter.
This enraged the mother, who, in consequence, uttered vari-
ous- threats against Mr. Hansard," who, she said, should be
" laid low," in the event a her bOy Abeing sent out of the
country.—She was ordered to find bail, In default of which she
was committed. _ .

he gave bins in charge to the watchman. •

QUEEN-StstAnE.—STannniG•.—A boy, about 17 Or 18
years of age, who said his name was George Villain, and that
he lodged with a dyer in an alley in Brick4ane,. Old-street, was
brought up in custody of Thomas lilalham, constable of
Chelsea, on a charge of stabbing two-boys. •
' John Eiribleton, a carver and gilder, in the employ of Mr.
non,' of Creek-strect, Soho,-said,' that lie took a walk. with
some of his shopmatcs on. Monday/afternoon to. Chelsca,, to
see. 'a boat-race. 'About six o'cicek he saw a number of
people assembled at the end of Cheyne-row, to witness a foot-
race between two females for a chemise. Among the crowd
he observed the prisoner and some other boys, one of whom,
pointing at the prisoner; said, " Ile has stabbed another
boy," The prisoner then Moved towards the place where
Witness was standing, and he saw him strike his dosed
hand against the side of another boy. Witness did not at the
time see whether he had any weapon in his hand, bdt one of
pis shopmates called out. " lie has stabbed the boy—he haS a
knife in his hand," and the prisoner instantly ran away. Tile
bystanders stood still in astonishment, but witness pursued and
overtook the prisoner near Chelsea Church, and seizing his
right hand, took from it an open penknife, the blade of which
was bent. lie took the prisoner back to the place from which
he had started, and there he learned that one little boy had
been stabbed in the fleshy part of the thigh, and another in the
left breast.
A surgeon having examined the wounds inflicted, said, that
in the thigh was - but of trifling consequence, but. that in the
breast was of a 'dangerous nature ; witness therefore handed the
prisoner over to the constable.—He was committed for further
examination.
T REE T.—Yesterday the re-examination of Fear6p,
Whitton, and others, charged with the robbery 'at the White
Bear Inn, Hounslow, took place before Sir RICjIARD Bin/4m,
the sitting Magistrate, when they were fully committed for

Bayles and W. Tapp, two stout youg Then, paupers, belotiging
to the parish, who had been for a long time receiving rebel.
The Overseers had found work for them in breaking stones,
but the prisoners positively refused to be so employed, and
coming last night to the workhouse,,refused to depart, and with,
some other paupers created a riot and disturbance, and threat-
ened the life of the parish officers. The Lord Mayor, after
animadverting with great severity on' their ()Vence, ordered
them to the House of Correction for twenty-one days.

VISITING MADE usEFuL.—The Chinese ilve
visiting cards, the colour and size of which are regulated agree-
ably to the rank and estimation of the person visited. - When
our Embassy was in China, Lord MACARTNEY received from
the Viceroy of PETCUEHE a crimson eard-4arge enough to
have papered his bedchamber

The French mail which arrived this morning
brings, by the way of Leghorn, letters from Corfu, stated on the
29th of August. To reconcile the conflicting statements which
have been received within the last month of the events which
have occurred in the Morea, is a task of the utmost di :acuity.
The accounts received from the Turkish Christians have de- '
scribed the conduct of the Greeks as every thing that is Lase,
Cowardly, and infamous ; they have accused the Leaders of the
Greeks of crimes very foreign to the feelings of their great Pro;
genitors. They have asserted, that money has been success-
fully used amongst them-in order to induce them to seal the
misery of their country, but they, have oinitted-to give the name
of the wretched agent of bribery, for it Would have beau
up to the civilized world in a more infamous lightsthan those
of the victims of his iniquity.—ln their zeal, however, for the
honour of their venerated Crescent, they have overstept the
boundary of truth.—One letter, dated Constantinople; the
26th August, states; that the Porte was niu-eli -%illicied by
the cruel murder of the seventy-eight hostages at Scio, and '
that all the barbarities committed in that garden of the
world were the acts of the late Capitan PACIIA, in contra-
diction to the instructions of clemency, which the benign
Mahommedan Government had transmitted to him. Does
this letter writer suppose that - the people of England have
forgotten the fact, " that at the same time five Sciot hostages,.
none of them under seventy-eight years of age—the fathers and
grand-fathers of a younger society, and that forty hostages fisnn
the Morea, were cruelly butchered at Constantinople itself ?"
That the British Minister, supported by the Austrian Inter-
nuncio, strongly remonstrated against such barbarity, but that
all their efforts-were vain ! Ignorant, however, are these apo-
logists of Turkish barbarity, if they suppose that British feel.
ings are generally as degraded as their own. The letters from
Corfu furnish far more satisfactory information from the 3lo-
rea, and if they be in any instance incorrect, their writers have
a better excuse than their Christian, opponents. They have a
virtuous and a glorious Cause to maintain; they with to liberate
their Christian countrymen, their wives, sisters, fathers, and
brethren from the most degraded state that the Almighty ever
entailed on ,his creation ; and if their ardent wishes for
their native country be in some Measure erroneous, their ex-
cuse is a most holy one. These Corfu accounts state, that the
Turks under the command of Cuounscrun Paella, after a
severe defeat from the Greeks under, Corm COTIIONI, had retired
on Corinth, with the loss of all their warlike stores, and
fifteen hundred horses. Thai Corinth was without provisions,
and , that there was little chance of immediate supplies.—
That Napoli di Romania capitulated to the Greeks on the
17th of Aural, st, where afterwards • the Greek islanders
brought their families, and that tha Greek fleet after
landing them had proceeded to Patras. That 3000 Turks had
been-detached from Previsa to. Al acrinozos, and had been repel-
led by Tom-Tema:a, and that three thousand more.of the bar-
barians had proceeded from Patras to Candila, opposite to
Santa Maura, and were defeated by Bauxacnrovrr and
Isco, with the loss of two thirds of their numbers. These ac-
counts from Corfu farther assert, that three Thousand Turks
who had landed at Lutraki near Arta, and at Fidari near:Ales-
tflongi, had also been defeated, and that at Katuna the Greeks
had burned all their houses, and devastated the country to de-
prive the Turks of provisions and necessary supplies. . They
farther state that for many days it had been known at Corfu
that the Turkish fleet was at Patras, but that they had no troops
on board sufficiently strong for making incursions into the
country; that within a few days of the date of this letter, ad-
Vices had been receivedOf the arrival of a part of the Grecian
fleet, and of the daily expected arrival of the remainder off Pa-
tras, but that no action had taken place.
Such are.the Grecian accounts, dated in, the -Mora, up to the
20th of August. The latest news from Constantinople give no
Clates, and appear to refer to the operations in July, and in
which case the two accounts agree, in so far as' the detaching
of the Turkish army into different quarters is concerned both
accounts stating this' fact; the Turkish account mentioning
the dividing 'of their -army, and the 'Grecian one announcing
their defeat. The inhabitants of England take a deep interest
in the fate or ancient Greece. It is dear to' them from the
earliest recollection of their youthful studies, and it is still far
more important to them from the hopes that a successful ter-
mination' to the cause of Christianityand Liberty will promote
their interests, -knowledge, and happiness. That empire is the
favatirite spot of 'nature ; it produces every thing necessary to
human knowledge and human comfbrt—
." There roses blossom in eternal spring,
" And strains celestial feather'd warblers sing ;"
but it is possessed by Barbarians—all the advantages which it
is capable of rendering to civilized Europe arc sacrificed at the
shrine of the present system of the Legitimate Holy Alliance.
If the Greeks, however, fail in establishing their independence,
the Russians will reap the fruits of the present desolation,- for it
is not in man to conceive that the civilized world*will long per-
Mit such a fine country to be cursed by the presence of liar-
barians.
In Paris, on Saturday last, Old Spanish Bonds advanced to
691,. French Rentes to 93. 15., and Neapolitan Bonds to 77a.
In the British Funds this day very little business' has been
done. Consols for the Account opened at 81 Isellers, and closed
at the same price. A great deal continues to be done in foreign
securities. 'The French ILentes are one quarter per Cent.
dearer; and Old Spanish Bonds for the end of the month have
been sold at 74;3. Very few of them arc on sale, and slander
does not injure their rising value in the estimation of capitalists.
The Russian New Loan continues much inquired after at fully
as high prices ; and so also are the Prussian and Neapolitan
Bonds, but few of the latter are now in England. Columbian
Bonds are a shade dearer. The Chilian appear to be fatigued
after the exertions of yesterday, and are rather lower.

The speculators in Tallow . support their spirits, and have
this day purchased 1,000 casks, to be delivered here next Fe-
, bruary. This large transaction haS advanced the price to 39 a

low, the quantity 0f,71,250 casksfor all parts of the world, and
there remained to be shipped about 40,000 casks. At that
