BONY•Sitt LET —(riliJ Dajj.)—A woman, whose
appearance bespoke the most cruet treatment,
seriously bruised, and literally covered with
blood, was brought before the Sitting Magistrate,
charged. with creating a constant riot in the house
of Mr. nolling, the Fountain, in Little Cathe-
rine-court, Strand, where it appeared she had
broken several panes of glass, &c., and also
threatened that she would not desist until she
had either the life of the landlord or his wife.--
On Sir RicuAan BIUNIC asking her to account
for such conduct, she commenced entering into a
tale respecting herself and husband, saying that
he was an Irishman, and the difference was in
their religion ; she was of the Church of Eng.
land, and he of the Popish Religion. Sir
lticitAnn here asked if the woman was now
drunk, and was *answered in the affirmative: he
ordered her to be locked up, and her hu'sband
sent for.

R 10T.—On Saturday morning a riot took place
in North College-street, occasioned by the body
of a woman having been observed lying on a
table in a shed by some boys who were clamber-
ing on the roof. As the shed communicated with
the College by a subterraneous passage, it was
immediately concluded that the body had been
exhumated, and was intended for dissection. Au
alarm was instantly given, and, it being break-
fast hour, a great crowd of tradesmen speedily
collected, who proceeded to force the door, which
opened into the shed, which they soon effected,
with the aid of hammers. A party of policemen
arrived at this time, who put the body into a
sack and conveyed it to the Police Office. The
mob, in the mean time, had procured candles
and proceeded to explore the passage which led
to the College, under the impression of finding
some other corps, but in this they were mistaken.
They, however, got hold of one or two stuffed
figures in the form of the human body, used in
the anatomical lectures, which they brought to
ttie street, awl haw led about for some time, when
they were taken from them by the Police. A
strong body of officers, with considerable dif-
ficulty, cleared the passage and the shed of the
mob, it ho, however, continued on the street for
a considerable time. The police arrived very
opportunely, as, from the threatening appearance
of the mob, much damage might have soon been

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, Oct. 7.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
It appears from the intelligence from Spain,
that the instructions of the Superintendent-
General of Police to exterminate all those who
declared themselves in favour of the Constitu-
tion, are perfectly well understood. A letter
from Madrid in the Constitutionned says, that the
accounts from different parts of the Peninsula,
and particularly those from Andalusia, Arragon,
and Navarre, speak of partial massacres in every
direction. A letter in the Journal des Mats
speaks in like manner of extensive arrests, and of
the barbarous expulsion from Madrid of the
wives of the ex-Deputies of the Cortes, and many
other persons of distinction. The order to depart
allowed them only twenty-four hours ! Contrast
this with the mild and merciful conduct of the
Constitutionalists when in power. Though re-
peatedly provoked by the Clergy and the crea-
tures of the Court, they displayed the greatest
forbearance. The Canon Vinuessa, that martyr,
as one of our contemporaries stiled him, was al-
most the only person on whom violence was ex-
ercised, and as in the famous case of Capt. Por-
teous, the popular indignation was roused by the
attempt to withdraw a guilty man from punish-
ment. But every altar smokes with the human
victims which the children of St. Louis sacrifice
to their God. Let us hear no more after
this of the French Revolution and its hor-
rors. What were these horrors compared
with what is now taking place in Spain ?
The most bloody-minded Jacobin that ever dis-
graced the name of Liberty would have
shuddered at the idea which the Superin-
interident-General of Police has dared to express
in his instructions to labour at the extermination
of the half of a nation.—The number of indivi-
duals sacrificed (luring the reign of terror in
France wore not, we suppose, the tithe of the
number who have been assassinated in Spain
since the Bourbon armies entered that country.
What blood-thirsty ruffians the Priests of Spain
must be !

Mr. Secretary Peel has, it is said, appointed
Mr. Edward Newman and Mr. John Waring, as
king's Messengers for Foreign Service upon the
new establishment. We congratulate the coon-
try 'on the improvement which Ministers have
succeeded in effecting in the ease of messengers.
The decayed butlers and valets of Nobleman
used to be forced upon Ministers for that office
of which the emoluments are equal to the pro-
curing the services of men of ability and educa-
tion. Ministers have► at length emancipated
themselves from this thraldom, laid as many of
the old Incumbents on the shelf as possible, and
endeavoured to obtain men of a higher character,
familiar with the modern languages. We give
them credit for this act of vigour.—(ibid.)

[MORNING JlElt.►[.u.]
The Greek contest is one of the most singular
in modern times. Of all the insurgent attempts,
it was the most unpromising, including Naples,
and even Piedmont, and yet it is the o►►ly one
surviving, and still pending. There could hardly
have been, to all appearance, a greater inequa-
lity in the sources of strength and power than be-
tween the Turks and Greeks ; yet have the lat-
ter, with little else than their naval skill, and
scanty resources, held out, and even gained sub.
stantinl advantages. What can be the secret cause
of their not having been swallowed in the vortex
of reaction, like so many other nations? The pro.
bability is, that they owe their present position to
the non-interference of the Foreign Powers, pub.
lk or private. There appears, however, on the
part of die Emperor of Russia, a hankering dis-
position to interfere. The Continental Papers
have frequently made significant allusions to his
designs, and there are some paragraphs having
that tendency in the must recent arrivals. It
seems probable that, if the Greeks receive his
protection, it must be by force. All partiality
towards the Russians has vanished, from fre-
quent, cruel, and treacherous disappointments.
But are the Greeks able to vindicate their inde-
pendence ?--Their position at present seems to
be very promising. It is not possible that so many
rumours, coining from various and distant quar-
ters, could all he unfounded ; and were► the first
accounts false, they must have been by this con-
tradicted. The fact, then, seems to be, that the
Turkish Grand Admiral attacked the island, was
in his turn assailed by sea and land, and defeated
with the loss of 10,000 men. Thus it is that (if
these accounts rr.ay be relied on) one main pillar
of the Turkish cause has been broken down ; for
this squadron was looked at as competent to take
the islands, and destroy the Greek navy. If the
accounts be true, the squadron is hors de combat
for the season. The Egyptian fleet is equally
inactive. It is anchored at Rhodes. This was
the fleet destined to conquer the Mores.

[MORNING eosird
French Papers to the sth inst., and the Dale
of Tuesday, arrived last night by Express.—
Amongst them is an article from Venice, which
gives fresh details of the defeat of the Turks both
by sea and land at Samos. This intelligence is said
to have been conveyed to Corfu by a British yes.
sel of ware which had witnessed the mighty con-
ilia. An official communication to the same effect
is also said to have been made to the English Mini-
ster at Florence by the lonian Government. If
this be the case, authentic information with respect
to this important and gratifying event.srmy shortly
be expected in this country. The present account
coincides in most particulars with those by which
it has beets preceeded. The 'number of. Turks
landed at Samos and cut to pieces by, the
Samiots during the engagement between the two
fleets is computed at 10,000. The Greek Ad-
miral, Miaulis Vocos,employed all the means of
annoyance with which he had armed himself in
order to render the action decisive. All the
fire-ships were used, and, consequently blown
up, but after having produced the effect expected
from them. The heroic, or us he is now rightly
coifed, the immortal Canaris, devoted himself to
one' object, the destruction of the Admiral's
ship,

which he accomplished at the expence of his own
life, poorly repaid by that of the Captain Pacha
and all his crew. Ninety-four Turkish vessels of
various force are stated to have been burned, sunk,
driven aground and taken, and the rest of the
Ottoman fleet to have sought for safety in flight.
The Etoile expresses an ardent hope that this
intelligence may prove correct, but says that
nothing official had yet been received. At the
same time, however, in answer to the Quolidienne,
which had called' into question the accuracy of
one of its statements respecting the fact of the
Ottoman fleet having experienced some disaster,
it declares that the letter in which that statement
was contained had been " written by an officer
attached to the Captain Pacha." This is coining
very close to the official, and may he deemed deci-
sive as to the reality of the defeat, only leaving the
question of magnitude a matter of doubt and specu-
lation. It reveals at the same time, as the Quo.
tidienne judiciously remarks, another important
fact—that the patrons of the Done (the Mini-
sters of course) hold communications with, or
haw agents amongst the enemies of Greece.—
From the nature of the language generally used
by that paper, however, it cannot be supposed
that those agents have any mission sinister to the
interests of Greece, unless indeed it could be cre-
dited that all the sympathy expressed in favour
of a brave Christian People were assumed, in or-
der to conceal secret complicity in the attempts
made by Mahometan Barbarians for its de-
struction !

[THE TIMES.]
Our readers will see, under the head of French
Papers,a report copied from the Journal des De-
tails respecting a victory said to have been gained
on the 19th and 20th of August by the Greeks
over the Turks, at Samos. The report may be
true, because, by undoubted accounts, the
Turkish fleet was in the position described at the
date specified, and likely to be attacked by the
Greek naval force ; but it rests on uncertain au-
thority, and is detailed with none of those pecu-
liar circumstances which give credibility to such
statements. We need only quote the following
expressions in italics, to show the very general,
vague, and indefinite character of the intelli-
gence Ten thousand Turks disembarked
"at Samos on the 19th of August, and
" were destroyed by the Greeks. (What, all ?)
" They could not be relieved in time by
" the Capitan Podia." (Why ? because he could
not relieve himself.) " Ile found himself attacked
46 at that moment" (how particular!) 46 by the
" Greek squadrons" (what squadrons ?), " which
46 employed every means of destruction in their
44 power." (To be sure they did ; but what
were those means ?) " The battle ended with
" the loss of their fire-ships on the part of the
44 Greeks" (so a loss is confessed), 46 but not
" till after they had produced the effects ex-
" peeled from them." Then how were they lost
A statement like this, though it may be true
(and we hope in God it is so), cannot stand cri-
ticism, and therefore cannot be believed without
corroboration. The Journal des Debuts, in a
letter from Madrid, dated the 22d ult., informs
that a ministerial revolution is expected from the
first audience with which M. Zen will be honour-
ed by the. King. The ex-Minister Cruz, is still
kept in close confinement, and every day is said
to add to the discovery
.of his accomplices. That
celebrated Royalist fanatic, Locho, is said to
have been found among the number. The Madrid
and provincial police continues its fierce warfare
against the children, wives, and widows of the
Constitutionalists who have taken refuge in foreign
countries, or perished in defence of their princi-
ples. The troops and the civil servants of the
Crown are clamouring for pay round an empty
treasury ; police-ollicers and magistrates are dis-
missed and imprisoned from suspicions of their
fidelity ; and the universities are ordered to he
shut till further orders, from a fear that profes-
sors or students, in meeting to improve their
minds, might begin to talk of their rights and
sufferings.
