ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

This being the third seal, the Court took motions.
CRAWFORD V. ---

In this case, in which the name of the defendant was not
mentioned, there being a charge of gross fraud against
him, Mr. Pemberton moved for and obtained a special in-
ju,ction restraining the East India Company from paying
him an annuity of 1,000/. a year, which it was alleged by
the plaintiffs, Messrs. Crawford, Colum, and Co., he had
agreed to assign to them in consideration of certain ad-
vances made to them by that house.

GREECE.

STEAM NAVIGATION.
ATHENS, Nov. 21 I must once more call attention to
the extraordinary mismanagement of the English packet
arrangements between England, the lonian Islands, and
Greece. The Greek mails of the 31st of October, con-
veyed to Malta by toe Oriental steamer, which reached
thatisland on or about the 11th inst., only arrived here
this rooming, instead of the 15th, as they should have
done, and were conveyed from Malta to Patras
by her Majeaty,i (
steamer Mcegera, instead of the
contract steamer City of Dublin, that vessel having be.en
disabled during her vary first voyage on this st ation. The
observations made at Patrai respecting the latter vessid e
precisely what might had been expected from Erf coasting
steamer employed iu carrying pigs. It is said that she is
abominably filthy, and that sha has no proper accommoda-
tion for passengers, who have to eat, sleep, and dress in the
same cabin. Besides which she is not the class vessel, and
does not possess the power that is so desirab:e to enure
punctuality.

pay for the service in question to the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, is surely not as
it should be, so far as the interest of the public
service is concerned. They are not only entitled to have
their correspondence conveyed with despatch, but also to
proper personal accommodation on board, as each indivi-
dual pays eight pounds passage money between Malt a and
Patras. If the Directors do not know what kind of ac •:om-
modation is required, let them send some agent to in poet
the Austrian Lloyd's Company's vessel, the Mahnioudie,
where also will be seen what is meant be cleanliness. It
is really the more necessary to eel public attention, and,
if possible, that of the London Directors themselves, or,
at all events, the Post.office authorities, to the present
Beta, as the commencement of operations under the new
contract decidedly is going from bad to worse.
At present we have a pretty good sprinkling of Eneli,h
trayellers here. Among the number are Captain and Mrs.
Brook, the Rev. Mr, Daniel, the Rev. Mr. Stanley, and
ti Rev. Mr. Claik. Mr. Marvel's yacht Gitana is gone
down to Malta with some of his friends, and returns here
for tho owner. Viscount Canning and family are daily
expected in his yacht Gondola.
A curious incident has taken place in Greece lately. A

at Athens, having married a Greek,

DISTRESS IN BETIINAL-GREEN.—There are
at present above 700 inmates in the workhouse of Bethnal-
green, and about 1,400 out-door applicants, being a much
larger number than for many years past, and they are in-
creasing daily. The greatest distress exists among the
silk-weavers, as nut one-third of them arc in employment.

DUNBAR.—At a meeting of the Magistrates
and Council of this Burgh, held on the 25th ult., the
Report of the Committee on the New Fishery Harbour
was read, embracing a plan for enlarging- the present
llarbour, and making it capable of containing 1,500 boats
with about 700 feet of additional quays for vessels, which
being duly considered received the unanimous approval
of the Board, and the Committee were empowered to
take proper and immediate steps for endeavouring to carry
it into execution. The addition will not in any way in-
terfere with the Harbour of Refuge—a plan for which is,
also, under consideration—but be of benefit to it. This
Harbour has lately been visited by several scientific gentle-
men both of the naval and engineering departments, and
all have given it as their opinions, that there is no place
between this and the North Foreland which has more ca-
philtre for formiag a Harbour of Refuge than it has ;
for even frigates or ships of the line might enter and lie
afloat at all times of the tide, there being five fathoms at
low water within the line of rocks or, which the pier or
breakwater is proposed to be built.
CIIEAP FLOUR V. A SMALL LOAF.—nour
is now at a lower price at Bridgwater than it has been for
many years, and yet the bakers keep up the price of
bread. They roust not,
.therefore, be surprised that poor
men are turning attention to the best mode of supplying
themselves with a good loaf at a moderate price. We
are informed that a preliminary meeting has already taken
place, with a view of torming a company, to be called
The Bread and Flour Company," i it
E.111..ar to those which
have beet, formed in other large towns. The capital to be
raised in small shares by working men, for the sole object
of having good bread at a moderate price. We give the
bakers this early intimation of the fact, and hope, for their
sakes, that they will immediately, not only lower their
prices, but do all in their power to improve the qu ility of
the bread they sell, and thus prevent the establishment of
such a formidable rival. Bt2tore the formation of such a
Company a nongst the working men at Plymouth, for the
supply of coals, they usually paid from lets. to 305. per
ton : they now get as much as they require for 21s. per
ton.—Somerset Gazette.
London, England, 1840-12-16

LOZON V. FRYSE.-JUDGMENT.

The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in
this case, in which the only question was whether, under
the statute of the 45th of Edward 111 , timber, growing
from the stools of trees that had been cut down, and of
more than twenty years growth, were liable to the payment
of tithes. For 450 years that species of timber had been
held to be exempt under that statute, but some years ago
Sir Thomas Plumer and the Barons of the Exchequer
hating laid down a different doctrine, some doubt was
entertained as to the point. His Lordship, after going at
considerable length through all the authorities, stated his
opinion to be that the species of timber in question was
not ►iable to the payment of tithes, and therefore the bill
must be dismissed. but without costs.

TEXAS.

Galveston papers of the 13th inst. have been received.
The Texan Congress hail organized, with the Hon. Mr.
I-lull as Speaker pro tern. of the House, and Vice-Presi-
dent Burnet as President of the Senate. The President's
Message is long and well written. It gives a flattering
account of the growth of this young Republic, its re-
sources, and population The Government and people
have experienced great embarrassmerrs from the derange-
ment of the curr'ney. The Loan Commissioners had not
been able to effect a sale of bends.

The President deprecates a war with Mexico, and states
his reasons in full.

The Commissioners to run the boundary line between
the United States and Texas, had been compelled to sus-
pend their operations for want of means.
Gener..l Hamilton, in his letters to the Government,
held out the hope of ultimately securing a loan on favour-
abk terms.

The Al.:ssage recommends an increase or. ilia euties on
importations, the currency being at a discount which re-
duces the nominal duty of 15 per cent. to ,tctually less
than 3 per cent.
Upon the whole, we gather from this document, that
the yoang republic is rapidly growing in all the elements
of power, wealth, and influence; though she is crippled,
for the time, in her pecuniary resources and embarrassed
in her foreign and mercantile relationT.
Colonel Moore's expedition against the Cut-rinelies has

campment about 300 miles north-west of Austin, and sue-
ecded in killing 150 Indians, and capturing thirty-two
prisoners, and about 500 horses and mules. —New York

FURTHER FROM NEW GRENADA.—A letter of the 18th
ult. from Marl.ealbo, gives us some additional particulars
relative to the Revolution in New Grenada. Tl:e follow-
ing is no extract
" The four Northern Provinces of New Grenada, viz.
Tunja, Bali s, Socorro, and Pamplona, have declared
themselves independent of the present Government,
and BogAa is said to be in a state of great confusion.
It appears that papers were lately discovered which
went to prove beyond a doubt what was only suspected
before, that General Obando was the murderer of General
Sucre, one of Bolivar's ablest Generals. The present
Government, po;sessing themselves of these papc,s, at-
tempted to take him : he fled, and put himself at the
head of the malcontents at the South, in Pasto, I be-
lieve. The Government finding Obando too strong to be
easily taken, thought best to offer him free pardon, which
they did, and the difficulty, you will recollect, was settled
a few months ago. This same Obando is said to be at the
head of the present outbreak in the North, and has a very
large force under him. Our informant says that Cucuta
had declared against the Goverment, and placed a military
chief at the head of affairs, before he left.

SFIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

(FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.)
(From the Standard.)
The arrival of the Queen Regent of Spain at Per-
pignan is officially announced by the Moniteur of Wed-
nesday. The effect of the abdication of her Majesty
and the events connected with it has been to divert the
minds of the French people to a great extent from the
Eastern question. The Paris Journals have scarcely a
leading article upon the latter subject. This was to be
expected under the circumstances. The Thiers party
(including the assassin tribe) want war, and to them it
is a matter of indifference in what quarter of the world
the pretext for war may be found—except, perhaps,
that they might prefer it on their own side of
the sea. It cannot be forgotten that M. Thiers
long since manifested a hankering after a Spanish
war, and that it required all the wisdom and.
firmness of Louis Philippe to thwart his purpose of
marching a French army into the Peninsula.
What will be the colour of the excuse for now in-
dulging this propensity beyond the Pyrenees ? It were
extremely rash to surmise; but that the French war party
will illustrate their late superstitious veneration for the
doctrine of non-interference by some attempt upon Spain,
it is scarcely possible to doubt. There are parties enough
in France all eager for war to afford a choice of apologies
for taking advantage of the distraction of the neighbouring
kingdom—Legitimists to support the claims of Carlos ;
worshippeis of the despotism of the bureau and the
army (M. Thiers in chief) to assert the authority of
Espartero ; Jacobins to take the side of the Ezaltados ;
and some—would that their number was greater—to
defend the right of legal sovereignty. All these will re-
joice in a Spanish war, because all these are French-
men, anxious to extend the boundaries of " the great
nation," and to wipe away the recollections of Sala-
manca and Vittoria. But what part is England to take
in a Spanish war ? is the question that must soon
press upon ourselves. It may seem ungenerous to
say, that England ought to take no part, because we
must make the confession, with whatever degree of
shame, that to the misconduct of the British Govern-
ment is mainly due the calamities with which
Spain is now afflicted : still we say, that Eng-
land, if she consult her best interests and
that moral duty which is owing by states, as well as by
individuals, will take no part in the Spanish quarrel.
The Spaniards have proved their total unfitness for free
institutions, by the best of all proofs, the abuse of those
institutions to the creation of a perfect anarchy, to the
utter ruin, indeed, of their country, after twenty years
of experiment.

GERMANY.

MILAN, OCT. s.—Our Gazette contains to-day the
following article
" The Exaltados of all countries cannot conceal their
vexation and their incredulity on the possibility that the
affairs of the East may be arranged without a European
war. While these restless spirits re-echo some Parisian
Journals, which are continually inserting fables respecting
our quiet and peace-loving.ltaly, they scatter reports
that affrays attended with bloodshed have occurred at
Forti and Ancona, between the citizens and the sol-
diers—that all the towns in the Legation and the
Marches are animated by a revolutionary spirit—that
his Holiness has applied to Austria for a speedy rein-
forcement of troops—that the troops in the kingdom
of Lombardy and Venice are daily receiving rein-
forcements from the interior of the empire—that ex-
traordinary movements are observed in this army,
and many other similar fictions, all of which in Italy we
know nothing of, nor is there any truth in any of their
stories, unless we allow as such the temporising move-
ments of the Austrian troops, which have lately began
to march towards the plains of Monte Chiaro in the
province of Brescia for the usual autumnal reviews,
and which will return in a few days to their garrisons,
which have not been augmented for many years.
PESTII, OCT. 10.—Our autumnal reviews are over ;
the troops have returned to their usual garrisons, and
everything has again the appearance of the most pro-
found peace—only we hear that all the military autho-
rities have received orders to send in reports of the
effective force of all the regiments.
VIENNA, OCT. 13.—During the last four days
groundless reports have been spread that Austrian
troops are to be embarked for Turkey ; but no sign of
any military demonstration is to be perceived. Prince
Metternich is incessantly engaged, and all eyes are
turned to him. He has already saved Austria from so
many dangers, that no doubt is entertained of his suc-
ceeding on this occasion also in dispelling the cloud
which threatens us. The Ambassadors of England and
Russia have daily conferences with him.

LONDON:
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1840.

We remember no instance hi which there was
such a cordial unanimity on any topic of public in-
terest as on the result of the Court-martial on Cap_
tain REYNOLDS. Denunciations from all quar-
ters are loud against the finding of the Court, and
their insolent animadversion on the evidence of
some of the witnesses ; and what adds to the ge-
neral excitement, is the unfortunate circum-
stance of her MAJESTY having been ad-
vised to confirm such a severe sentence.
the
Hopes were entertained that, considering the into-
lerable provocation,general character of the ac-
cuser, and the high testimony given by old officers
to the gentlemanly and
i
officer-like conduct of
Captain REYNOLDS,' that his case would have net
with a more favourable
,
consideration, at least in a
quarter that ought to be uninfluenced either by
Lord
HILL or Lord FITZROY SOMERSL r.
But the public have been grievously disappointeJ.
The highest penalty has been inflicted, and the
victim of these strange proceedings must now look
o the public, and the representatives of the public I ,

EVENING EDITION,

WESTMINSTER PETTY SES-
SIONS, OCT. 22.

It is not generally known, that since the passing of
the New Police Act a Petty Sessions, which is attended
by two or more Magistrates, is held regularly once a
week at the Guildhall, Westminster. At these Ses-
sions summonses and warrants are granted, orders of
removal and affiliation made, and no fees whatever are
charged ; by this arrangement a considerable saving to
parishes is effected. At the last sitting on Tuesday the
following case of bastardy came before the Court
Mr. Buzzard, the Vestry Clerk of St. James's, ap-
plied for an order of affiliation on William Henry Gros-
venor, for the support of a child two years and a half
old, whose mother had become chargeable to the parish.
Mary Ann Symons, the mother of the child, stated
that she had lived with Grosvenor three years as his
wife, but he had lately deserted her, and when she
was from home one day, his (Grosvenor's) mother and
himself took away all the furniture, and left her without
a home.

The sister of the young woman said she was present
at the baptism of the child, at which the father at-
tended. For two years he always acknowledged it as
his own.

The Magistrate considered this evidence sufficient,
and asked Mr. Buzzard what expense the child was to
the parish weekly—did it cost four shillings ?
Mr. Buzzard—l should say our children cost the
parish upwards of four shillings per week.

-Tde Bench made an order on the father of the child
to pay 2s. 6d. per week, at the same time stating,
that the Magistrates had determined in all cases of
bastardy in which the father became liable ander the
provisions of the New Poor-law Bill, that without re-
spect to his situation in life, that was the sum they
should award.

IMPORTANT TO SPORTSMEN.

For the information of our sporting friends we insert
the following cas,!s, decided by the Judges so recently
as the Ist of July last. With the exception of the
first mentioned case, the Local Commissioners relieved
the appellants ; but the Judges decided they were all
liable to the charges for game certificates in double
duty : _ _

Three persons charged with game certificates, on ac-
count of having been seen beating for game, assisting a
gentleman who had a certificate, but who had a spaniel
with him which was not his own property.
A. person who admitted he had, with a gun, accom-
panied a gentleman out shooting, but denied having
fired, or killed any game.
Parties who kept greyhounds, charged for a certifi-
cate on account of having attended a coursing meeting
at the invitation of a gentleman who had a certificate
but who did not use his own dogs.
Party charged for a game certificate, on account of
having followed a private pack of harriers ; he con-
tended he was not liable, as there was neither a killing
nor a taking of game while be was out.
A person who was charged for a game certificate, on
acconnt of having followed a pack of harriers; he con-
tended he was not liable on the ground of a person
having been present who was joint owner of the bounds,
and who had a certificate.

[There were thirteen similar cases on the same day,
and it was agreed the decision of the one should govern
the rest.]
A. person who usually trusted to the Collector to pro-
cure him a certificate, and paid the duty with his other
taxes, charged for a certificate, on account of his having
sported without first obtaining it, although it was ad-
mitted there was no intention or idea of defrauding the
revenue.—Sherborne Journal.
