OLD BAILEY.—(Tuts DAy.)

The outer doors of the Old Bailey Courts were
this day thronged by no small number of persons,
under the idea that the Sesions would have com-
menced this morning. Persons from all parts of
the country were in attendance, and much mur-
muring occurred on account that no notice had
been given of the alteration. We noticed in our
paper a fortnight since that the Sessions would.
not commence until the 15th (to-morrow.)

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—(Thrs DAY.)
SCANDALOUS BIIHAVIOUR OVA:CILELSZA PCN.
SlONElt.—Richard Prince and 'Sarah Plaice were
put to the bar on two indictments, charging them
with assaulting, at Chelsea, Edward Donaldson
and his wife, under circumstances of the most ag-
gravating nature.

The circumstances of the case were, that the
defendants had formerly resided with the prose.
cutor and his wife, and were indebted to them to
a considerable amount, credit having been given
them on the faith of a promise, that on receiving
his pension the prosecutor should be paid. By
consent, the prosecutor and his wife went to
Chelsea on the day the pensioners received their
money, and, without any cause, took an oppor-
tunity of not only abusing, but violently assault-
inn the prosecutor.

For the defence, a fellow was called to prove
that the wife of the prosecutrix had robbed the
defendant, Sarah Plaice, of her shawl, but he
completely failed.

The Jury found the prisoners Guilty, and the
Court, to mark its sense of thu transaction,ordered
the male prisoner, Prince, to pay a fine of 41., and
the female V., and to be detained until the flue
was paid. They were detained accordingly.

FRENCH PAPERS.

( From the Etaile, dated Monday, July i 24
Sr. CLoup, JULY 11.—The King having heard
mass in his apartments, received the great Officers
of State, the Ambassadors, the Ministers, Peers
of France, Deputies, and a great number of Nut:-
tionaries both Civil and Military. _

BAYONNE, JULY 4.—The fair of Parnpelnna
attracting at this moment a great concourse of
people to that city, some French troops have
warded from Vittoria to -reinforce the garrison
of Pampeluna during the fair. Though perfect
tranquillity prevails in that city and throughout
Navarre, we eannot`but applaud this measure.
The 24 Swiss regiment Is now here. Th 4.,

active here on the 14th of this month.

Pants,' JuLy 11.—A telegraphic dispatch an-
nounces the arrival of the King of Wojtemberg
•at Marseilles, where he is going to enjoy the
benefit of sea bathing. Iti3Mgjpsty went imme-
diately
to the country house hired for him half a,
-league-from the town.
The Etude, quoting some extracts from the
Inglish.Papers relative to the affairs of Portugal,
adds, 'by way of note," It is true that Portugal
hud.asked troops of England, but it seems to us
that, except this fact, there is nothing certain in
all that the English Journals have been saying
:for-some days past. As for 8,000 Hanoverian
' troops, we believe it would not know where to
find them."

The Monittur of Sunday contains the requisi-
tion of the Attorney-General, in the tribunal of
the-Seine, against the responsible editor of the
Quogdienne, for having published in No.-100, of
Bth July, page 2, column 2, an article beginning
with these words:—" Cople—i. e. Copy of a
.Letter from Monseigneur the Archbishop, &c. &c.
,ending with these—" Comma non avenue agreeet"
Ste., referring to the declaration of tho French
Clergy, presented ,by them in 1682 to Louis
X I V., and the sliing's Edict of March the same
year, and to articles of various law's. The At.
torney-General demands that the editor shall be
.summoned to appear, to be condemned for having
published this article, which tends to incite dis-
obedience to the laws. The Declaration of the
Clergy (of 1882) is annexed.

From all the late accounts respecting the situ-
ation, operations, and progress of the G reeks,
there seems abundant reason to hope that they
will finally triumph over their barbarous enemies.
Comparing the powers of both parties at the be-
ginning of the insurrection, or rather the noble
struggle of the Greeks to rise to a state of free-
dom and independence worthy of the historic
glory of their ancestors, it seems wonderful that
they have achieved so much, and it has excited
surprise that they have held out so long. But it
was not to be supposed that any of the Christian
Powers would have been so insensible to charac-
ter, or so utterly lost to shame, as to give aid to the
Infidels. For a long time Russia appeared to be

menaces and exciting the hopes of mankind, all
the expectations which Russia had raised in the
minds of the friends to political freedom, she seems
to have sneaked out of the question, and we
now hear no more of the intention of the
magnanimous ALEXANDER to support the cause of
the Greeks, and enable them to reach the height
of national independence. Whether the reports
of the late successes of the Greeks are true to
the extent stated it is impossible at present to
ascertain, but that they have attained some ad-
vantages which seem to have arrested the pro-
press of the Turks, can hardly be doubted ; and
as knowledge and the rights of mankind have
been diffused in all quarters, it may not be im-
possible that the Turkish people themselves will
be disgusted with •a cause tending chiefly to gra-
tify the ambition of their rulers, and to rivet the
fetters of their own disgraceful bondage.

Hamburgh and Flanders Mails arrived this
morning, of which the following aro the chief

ST. PETERSIIIIIIOII, SETT. 18.—We hear that we shall

MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.

NAPLES, SEPT. 16, 1824.--Sir FREDERICK
FALCONER, an Irish Gentleman, who has been
resident here several years, put a period to his
existence in a melancholy manner on Tuesday
last, the 14th inst. Ever since his arrival here,
in 1819, be had been labouring under great pe-
cuniary embarrassments ; he had bees repeatedly
arrested for debts, and as frequently, almost im-
mediately, liberated by the kindness and gene•
rosity of the English residents with whom he was
acquainted. A rapid succession of these circum-
stances, and his own unpardonable imprudence,
at length tired even the warmest hearted and the
best intentioned of his friends, who, one by one,
had refused to lend him any further assistance.—
Last week he was on the point of being carried
to prison for the trifling sum of 56 ducats, and
was relieved by a Neapolitan Nobleman to whom
he was already deeply indebted. On Tuesday
morning, the luissiers and the Judge de Paix
surprised him in bed, at his lodgings, at the Ri-
viera di Chiaja, and presented him a fresh writ for
a debt of six hundred ducats. He requested them
to wait while be dressed ; they retired into an-
other room accordingly ; and after waiting more
than a quarter of an hour, they re-entered his
chamber, and found him in bed with the sheet
stained with blood, drawn over his head ; they
removed it, and found him dead ! His throat
was dreadfully mangled ; he had repeated the
stroke three times; the razor with which he had
committed the deed lay beside him. The Judi.
cial Authorities, at the instance of Mr. Hamilton,
our Minister, were put under arrest on account of
some irregularities, inconsistent with our treaty
wi►h this country, which they had committed in
the arrest.; they were, however, admitted to hail
after a day's confinement. The wife of the un-
fortunate man, Lady Falconer, who is connected
with same of the first families of Ireland,has had
the most humane attentions paid to her. The
body was deposited yesterday evening in a gar-
den, near the Ortn Botanico, the only spot in
Naples allotted to the burial of Protestants.--
This melancholy catastrophe has excited a deep
interest in the societies of this city, among which
Sir Frederick and his Lady had long mixed in au
intimate manner.—(New Times.)

LITERARY NOTICE.

SHAKSPEARE and HONEST KING GEORGE ve,rsus
PARSON 'IRVING and the PURITANS; or, Tasteid
Common Sense refuting Cant and Hypocrisy. By Art
AcTon,

if we did not infer that the celebrated NORTH-
ERN PREACHER, who has attracted SO much at-
tention from persons of all ranks, has severely
attacked the Stage, we should disapprove of the
freedom which marks the title' page of this pam-
phlet. But if such is the case, we must consider
it as a just, as well as spirited, retort. We have
never, indeed, read a more animated tract than
the work before us. If it was really written by
AN ACTOR, it is most strikingly manifest that
he brings every intellectual and moral excellence
to his art ; and if his external qualities are
in proportion to his mental powers and qtrali,
ties, he must indeed be calculated to raise
it to the highest degree of estimation. The spi-
rited and intelligent writer, of whom we really
have no personal knowledge, has in this brief, but
emphatic work given an eloquent and most sa-
tisfactory vindication of the theatrical profession,
and of the important advantages which society de-
rives from the representations of the drama.—
He supports his defence by arguments drawn
from the opinions of the wisest sages, legisla-
tors, and philosophers of antiquity, and even
negatively, if not, at times, positively, from RELI,
GION herself. The whole is so animated, im-
pressive and convincing, that if we had room we
should not know where to select a passage among
so many affording a more satisfactory refutation of
the vulgar, ignorant, and bigotted objections that
have been urged against the Stage, or a more spirit-
ed, eloquent and manly vindication of its inherent
merits and general tendency. I
t is
to he regret--
ted that so masterly a tract should appear in the
shape of those calch-penny publications ,% ith which
the public press is inundated. It should be pre-
sented to the public in a better form, and, while
it ought to be the Vatic Mecum of the theatrical
community, it is well entitled to the countenance
of the Moralist, the Philosopher, and the States-
man. A spirited alleg.orical coloured print is pre-
fixed to the title7page from a humorous design
of Rossß•r CRUICKSHANK, one of the roost popu-
lar caricaturists of the day. Our only objection
to this work is its attack on Mr. MARTIN, M.P.,
who can have no motive for his public conduct
but the laudable impulse of benevolence.

SUI;.VEV OF IRELAND.

The Marquess of DOW NSIIIRE, in presenting a Petition
from the Town of Wells next the Sea, in Norfolk, praying for
the Abolition of Slavery, took that opportunity of addressing►
st-few words to their Lordships on a snbjeet. of great import-
pore eonnected with Ireland. Their Lordships' attention
could not, he t.iought, he too often drawn to that country, and
):e would lose no opportunity of bringing it bef ?re them. lie
undersood that it was intended to have such a trigonometrical
• yervey as had been made of England, extended to Ireland, un-
der the direction of the Noble Duke at the held of the Ord-
mance. lie wax folly sensible of the value of this measure, but
it would not answer the expectations which existed in Ireland,
if some more minute measurement was tot added to the trigo-
tometrical surreet. What WAR wanted for Ireland, in addition
to fixing the latitude and longitude of its diffl:rent Capes and
• Headlands, was an ndmeasurement, acre by acre, of all the coun-
ties, parishes, and town lands in the kingdom. If such an ad-
measurement were conducted by persons of probity unconnected
with Ilea] prejudices or particular places, by persons sent from
_England, it would he a great benefit to Ireland ; and if it were
trot conducted in this way, it would not answer the purpose
Parliament and the Government had in view. To .hew by a
single instance the necessity of some measure of this descrip-
tien, he would mention that the taxes for the repairs of roads,
Hid a variety of other taxes, were levied by presentment of the
I:rand Juries, according to an acreable assessment, after an old
r-enlation called the Key. This was made upwards of 108 years 1
es, and land, which was then of no value, had since been taken
,to cultivation, and was now worth a great deal of money. It
was not, however, so assessed, which made many parts, as-
ressed, pay more than their due share. The Noble Marduis
it down by recommending the Government to cause a survey
f Ireland to be made which should give the contemn' of every
uonty and town land.
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY. _

ORATORIO.

CovFx-r-GAtznEm.—Last night's Oratorial per.
formattce, the fourth of the present year, after
treating the audience with the beauties of Acis
and Galatea, presented its delighted hearers w
a very varied and charming selection of sacred
and peculiar pieces, which bespoke the un-
wearied attention, and judicious choice, of th,,
ingenious Director. The great novelty of tho
evening was that of an Ode composed by-
Dr. CROTCH, the chief characteristics of whiclt
were comprised in the science displayed in thu
chorusses, and the fancy exercised in the accom-
paniments of the airs. In this composition, tho
talents of 13nAltANI and Miss STErfEENs w•,re
peculiarly conspicuous, and their apparent
wish to give the best possible effect tcs
the music so judicionsly committed to their
superior powers, entitled them to the Doc-
tor's best bow. Among the attractions of less
magnitude, but equal brilliancy, we have to men-
tion BocttsA's exquisite execution on one of the
finest totted of DELvE.tu's harps, " Sown! a's
alarm," by BitAllAm, the Duet. of Cite a! rni..)
bone, by S.teto and StScr.A I it, Miss STEM ENS in
Pvery thing she sung, and Mrs.S.tr.mox's skill its
Dolce conceal°, accompanied by the tasteful Di-
rector, by NtcHOLSoNCS delicious flute perform-
ance, and VERSIICATI's unequalled executiolt
on the Lombardo Mandolin. The House was
crowded.

FOREIGN SPIRITS.

The CHANCEI,LOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the
Order of the Day for the house going into a Committee on the
Annual Duties' Bill.
Mr. ROBERTSON said, that as there was much interesting
business coming on after this, he hoped Gentlemen would not
leave the House, as was customary when any thing not gene-
rally interesting came on, so that what came after was often
transacted with diminished Members.

Mr. H. G. BENNET remarked upon the multiplicity 6f
business on the paper for the evening, which placed the House,
in great difficulty ; for it was impossible all could come on,
whilst no one knew which subject, in particular, was to occupy
the night.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he had
selected this particular Bill, because the duties to which it re-
ferred expired on the 24th of March. He should, then, be
anxious to get to the Committee of Supply, when whatever
Estimates were most pressing might be brought forward. He
believed the lion. Member for Corfu Castle was anxious to
have his motion relative to the British Museum disposed of.

Mr. HUME wished that so distracting a cour;e were not
adopted as to put down so many important subjects for one
night. Ile had, for instance. no less than five large bundles of
papers, all upon different subjects—one relating to Civil Con-
tingencies—another Commissariat, and another again relative
to the Miscellaneous Estimates. He hoped the Chancellor of
the Exchequer would say which of these various matters he
intended to proceed with, for it was impossible justice could
otherwise be done.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, beyond
what he had already stated, be was really indifferent to the
order in which business should proceed, and if the Honourable
Member for Aberdeen would tell him which of his five bundles
he gave a preference to, he would agree to go on with that.
Air. HUM E thought the Miscellaneous Estimates, which
were left unfinished, ought to have the preference.

LIEUTENANT COUCH.

Lieutenant Couch being in great distress and
in an ill state of health, in consequence of being
imprisoned under a false arrest, presents his re-
spects, and requests the Editor of THE SUN will
do him the favour to insert the subjoined infor.
motion respecting his limber chains.
8, Union-street, Borough-road, Jan. 16. 1824.
To the. East and West India Merchants who are desirous to
be informed of the superiority of Lieutenant Couch's copper
limber chains, and conductors over the limber ropes.
The chain is not above one third the weight of the limber
rope after it (the rope) has been soaked and fermented ; the
rolling and pitching of the ship causes a motion in every link
fore and aft. The , chain exchanges a vacuity for the solidity
of the rope, and allassate, the solidity of the chain is near about
equal to the vacui occasioned by the strands of the rope, when
new and dry ; the vacui after the rope is soaked and fermented
attract all kinds of precipitates, or, that vacant space occasioned
by the lay of the strand becomes choaked and frustrates the in-
tention of the limber rope.
Lieutenant Covell has known two men drop down irreco-
verably suffocated for the want of limber chains to circulate
the water in a line of battle ship ; and a skilled physician has
told him, there cannot be any invention more beneficial and
conducive to the health of seamen on long voyages in prevent-
ing the scurvy, putrid fevers, and keeping the cargoes sweet
and clean.

Ig.RE FROST 9.•

Mr. Anat was prepared to open this petition to the Court,
which he said originated in an attempt to defeat a collusive
commission• of bankrupt, issued several years-since, against the
firm of Lee and Consett. Various proceedings had been taken
in it; which the Counsel was, about to detail, when he was
stopped by
The Vicx-CRANcELLOK' *ho said, he observed the peti-
tion prayed, amongst other things that he (the Vice-Chancel-
lor) would order the attornies (Messrs. Frosts), against whoan
the petition was presented, to be struck off the rolls of the
Court. Ile thought he had no power, of doing this under the
Act of Parliarnent by which the duties of his ofrice were .recu-
latetl, and upon a fornieroecasion, in a case of collusion, where
he had all the inclination-in the world to have exercised such a
power., he refrained frOm doing so, because he thought he did
not pessess it. If the Lord Chancellor thought tit to direct
him to hear this case, he was ready to proceed with it ; and as
his Lordship was sitting,, he would trouble tie. Agar to go to
his Lordship and state the doubt which hadariS'en in his (the
Vice-Chancellor's) mind, and ask his Lord Ship, whether he
wished him-to hear the petitiOn.
Mr. :HEALD said, that his clients (Messrs. FrOSts) were most
anxious that the petition- should be heard with as little delay as
possible. They were men of the' tirst respectability, and high
in their profession in the county of York ; and the sooner. they
were enabled, as by the hearing of this petition they would be,
to wipe away the imputations which had, been so unjustly cast
upon them, the better they would be satisfied. -
Mr. Anan withdrew, and -in the course of the morning re-
turned„when he told his Honour that upon mentioning the
case to the Lord Chancellor his Lordship bad- said he would
choose to hear the petition himself.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
We have received by Express the Etoile of
yesterday and the Journal des Debuts of Mon"
day. The Etoile contains a letter stated to have
been received from Madrid, which, if its authen•
ticity could be depended upon,would be of import-
ance, as indicating the existence of some serious
difference between the French and Spanish Cabi.
nets, and the anxiety of the latter to cultivate still
closer relations with Russia. But we cannot be too
circumspect with regard to articles of political
intelligence in the French Ministerial Papers•
We are fully aware of the innumerable artifices
which are resorted to, in order to produce exactly
such impressions on the public mind as are most
suitable to the Views of the Ministers of Louis
XVIII.; and it would not surprise us, therefore'
if it should be hereafter found that this pretended
misunderstanding is nothing more than a manceuvre
for lulling suspicion,—for concealing the real sen-
timents •f the two Bourbon Governments,—...and
for cloaking their preparations for and pro-
gress towards the execution of any common pro'
sect that they may entertain.—The following are
London, England, 1824-09-22

[MORNING CUR? CLEW]

A letter from Paris, dated Sept. 18, says—" I
take up my, pen again to give you some news of
some importance. Even if Charles X. had the
intention of changing the President of the Coun-
cil, he has probably given it up for the present,
in consequence of M. de Villele having had the
address to propose, and thus prevent the wishes
of his Majesty, that the Prince de Polignac, Am:
bassador at London, should be Minister of the In.
terior. This point seems settled. As soon to he re.
turns from England, M. de Corbieres wild be made
Minister of Justice, and M. Peyronnet will he
provided for by the place of Procureur-General to
the Upper House, which will be created Inc the
purpose. This proves the truth of what has treen
frequently said of the uneasiness of': M. de
London, England, 1824-09-22

THE GREEKS AND THE TURKS.

LEGHORN, SEPT. 3.—A ship from Malta ar.
rived here tosday after five days passage. We
expected that it would bring us some recent ac-
counts of the affairs of Greece, but the Captain
affirms that no late news had been received at
Malta.

Accounts from Alexandria say that the expe-
ilition had with it 80 cannon, 40 howitzers,, and
t 0 mortars. The fine appearance and discipline
of the troops were universally admired. The
Viceroy, they say, was much affected on taking
leave of his son Ibrahim Pacha, and that he said
to him, " Ibrahim, if God should give you the
victory, prove by your humanity that you are
worthy of it—be an enemy to the enemy, but
protect the defenceless."

There are different opinions respecting the
first object of the expedition ; some letters say
that it is Hydra, and ethers Samos.

SEMLIN, SEPT. I.—Though we have no news,
from Constantinople respecting thQ removal of
the Seraskier Dervisch I'acha from the command,
it appears to be confirmed, if we may believe
letters from Seres of the ltth of this month. It
was reported there that Jussuf Paclia of Patrass
would succeed him.

SEPT. 2.—Later letters from Seres of the 14th
August again speak in mysterious terms, as they
did on the retaking of Ipsara by the Greeks, of
some new misfortune which has befallen the
Capitan Podia in the Archipelago. The Greeks
are full of joy, and interpret these obscure pas-
sages in their own' favour. They say that the
result of the expedition of the Capital' Pacha
against Samos might have been long since" known
if it had been successful. But before we pay at-
tention to these conjectures, it would be advise-
able to wait for the next mail from Cons!anti-
uople.—(Allgemcine Zeitung.)
