SIR GREGOP.Y P. TURN.P.R.

Mr. HoTtNE asked_ permission, on the part ofthe Solicitor of
Sir G. P. Turner, to present a petition to csliyass the Ending of

the Jury in t.:e Commission .of-Lunacy ,appointed to ascertain
whether the Hon. Bart. was a lunatic‘or.not.
The 140RD' CRAWCELLOR tholli'ht that, the Solicitor laid
acquiesced in the finding of the Jury.
HORVE submitted, that Sir G. P. Turner dismissed
that Solicitor and appointed another, on whose instruction he
made the preSent motion.
The I.:ono CHANC2L,Lc P. said he had no power to prevent
the presentation of a petition to tire Court, fie would say,-how
ever. that the finding
.of /he Jury appeared to, hial very satis-
factoiy.

. ENDER v. 'HA riRIS.
The SoLicyroß GEbrEaat. called his Lordship's attention
to this ease, which stood fez ju:iqinent. It had been argued at
'length already, and it was 'very important that an early decision
of his Lordship should be givitn, as tu the manlier in whith it
shoUld be disposed of.
The LORD CaAiictott. Was' of opinion that an issue
should be directed, but had novniade up his mind as to the form
which such issue should assume;
The So L. ICITO R-.GENE RAL suggested a form whichdid not
correspond with that on which the opposite side was desirous
-that the issue sizJuld be directed.
The LORD C4ANCELLOR wished that thi, parties Would'
Consult Out of Court as to --4,e fwm. of
_J.= issue he should- di-
rect, and let the case be mentioned when such an agreenrent
had been entered into.

DAVID GARRICK v. THE EARL OF CAMDEN
Mr. HAttT presented a pettiot,.. en the collateral part of this
case. The nominal plaintiff?' in it was the celebrated actor
of that name. The_ present petitioner was Mrs. Payne ;
and the brayer -of tile petition was,
.that 4,700 L, the resi-
due of the property of David Garrick, ahould be transfer-
red in the stocks from the name of 'Hugh Bally, in whose
name it stood,. to Ole -possession of the petitioner. It appeared,
that David Garrick at his death made his -property divisible
into three-quantities. One-third of these.quantities.passed into
the hands of •EL Baily, whose residuary legatee he ':vas. In
last May an order was made that the fund should be trans-
ferred to Mr. Bally, and in Junefollowing an order for pay_
inert' was made by the -Master of the 'Rolls. The Learned
Gentleman complained, that notice had not been gi,aen to 'the
petitioner in orderto enable him to resist such order.
Mr. PEPYS, on the part of Mr. gaily, opposed the petition.
To shew that sufficient notice •had been given, he rmd pas-
sages, admitting, by the apposite side, that due notice had .been
given of the proceedings intendedtO be adopted by Mr. Bally-
Baily was -induced to make application on account of
.several notices which .had beer. sent to .him for payment, as
Mrs. Payne had assigned her part of the divisible quantities to
several claimants for debt. 'Mr. Baily wished to have the
Property secured, in order that it might be ascertained what
claims were to be satisfied out of it. He animadverted severely
en the conduct of the solicitor, who had matte an incorrect
-statementof facts to the Counsel.
The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated to Mr. Hart, who was
about to reply that he world bear further arguments in the
cause on Monday. -

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN.. Y 3..
Till: XING,
oea THE PROSECZTION OF THE ItilHOP
,OF
EXETER, " THE REAL JOHN BULL,"•
111 r. SCAuLETT moved for a rule to show cause whya crimi-
nal information should not be exhibited-against the printer and
Proprietor of the The: Reel John. Bull, for a libellous Paragraph
reflecting on theßishop of Exeter. It would be Proper that he
shotild state. the circumstances out of which the groundleas
potations on the. character of the Bishop arose. His
shin received application from the parishioners of the parish
of Noith in Devonshire, complaining of the nori_resi-
• dence of .the incumbent. He accordingly took measures for
Prevailing on the Rev. Oen-dem-an to return to his cure, but
without
success. While these- measures werepending,, he re-
-anonymous letter in a female hand t and afterwards a
womanitalintroded herself into Ilia presence, and made' certain
e r ih° t i
d statementsl respecting the conduct of the rector. The Bishop,
in consequence of the information thus obtained, thought it
necessary to make inquiries ;-.and, in the result, thought it
right to institute proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court, to
deprive the incumbent of his benefice, which terminated in a
sentence of deprivation. At this time the lihel in question
appeared under the head "• The Bishop of Exeter." The
Learned Counsel then read the libel, which imputed to the
Bishop thate-he had been indueed to prosecute by a strumpet,
who was seen hanging oo
his arm at the last visitation of his

The Court granted a rule to show cause.-
hopratso-a- L. TATTERSALL.
Mr. GuRNEY moved for a rule to shaiv cause why the ver-
dict for the plaintiff in this cause shonld not be set aside, and
a nonsuit entered. This was an action against Messrs. Tat-
! terealls, the well-known horse-dealers, for' money had and re-
ceived to the plaintiff's use. 'The plaintiff' and purchased a
horse belonging to Prince Esterhazy at the defendants auction,
for seventy-one guineas, without a warranty ; but sought to
recover back the money-on the, ground that the contract was
vitiated by fraud. The fraud suggested was—first, that the
coachman of Prince Esterhazy, who showed the horse on the pre-
misesof the defendants, represented that he had never been lame.
" though the Prince was a than who did not spare his horses
whereas the animal appeared lame immediately after delivery;
and second, that the plaintiff had been induced to bid by the-
expectation of being able to. purchase another horse, adapted
peculiarly to be &wen with the horse in question, but wnich
was never intended for sale. It was proved that before the-
sale, an advertisement appeared in The Times newspapers,
announcing for sale at-Messrs. Tattersall's four horses, the
property of a nobleman, and describing two .of them called
" Iligliflyer" and • ` Lofty," as an excellent pair of florets
for, a carriage, and remarkable for spirit, and• the brilliancy
of their action. It did not appear by whom this adver-
tisement was inserted ; the clerk of the defendant positiyely•
swore that .it • was .not inserted by :them ; but When the •
servant asked. at Tatteesall's for the horse advertised, he
was shewn the two which appeared to =respond with the de-
scription. At the sale one of the horses was first put up, and
the plaintiff became the purchaser at 71 guineas. The other
horse was then put up, and• the plaintiff', anxious to have the
pair, bade 176 guineas, but found himself unexpectedly.op-
posed, and the horse_ was beught in at 2001. It appeared that
the money was rot paid over to Prince Esterhazy for three
days, before the expiration of which a demand was made,
and that he indemnified the defendants. The Lord Chief-
dostice.then thoughtthat the representations of the coachman
on the premises of the defendants bound, them, if they -per-
mitted him to be thefe ; and that,they were also bound by .the
advertisement, as the allusion to it had been recognized by their •
servant. He.accordingly left the-July. to say, whether they
thotight the sale to be bona fide, or conducted with deceit ; on
which direction the Jury found for the plaintiff: "Mr. Gurney
now moved. to set asside this verdict, on the ground that-the.
advertisement ought not to have) een• received in evidence, and
that there was no proof of fraud.
The COURT granted a rule, in the alternative for a nonsuit
or a new trial.

CORONER'S iiiQU EST.—On. Thursday, the 22d

• [From i'.vrxdra.7 Courier, Aug. 26, 1333.1

THE NEW SUSPENSIO:f I.3art)Gi..--1t is pro-
posed to erect the New Suc.pcnsi,un. 13ridge immediately to the
eastward of the present one, without interfering in any ma-
terial degree with the passsage across the latter, whis4 need
not thf.refcre be removed until the former is completed.. Th.,:
readways„leading up to the new bridge will be formed partly
with earth taken Gut of the Nulls:1, and partly with the earth
of the present roadways.
The site of the r:sw bridge, being the same as that of the
• priginal pticka bridge, the roadways -on each side, and the di-
rection of the bridge will be nearly in a straight line, and the
present awkward winding approach oa the southern side Will be
avoided.

The distance between tbie points of suspension of the new
proposed bridge will he 120 feet ; this admits of a Clear water-
way 90 feet broad at high water, and 86' feet at low water ;
which appears ample for the passage of boats underneath the
bridge. The height of the roadway will be the same as that of
the present bridge.

The depth of water under. the bridge may be increased with-
out incurring any risk of danger to the foundation of the piers,
froth-three feet, the present depth,- to seven feet.
The breadth of the roadway will be increased from 19 to 82
feet, which is one foot broader than the Allypoor bridge,; and
which it is presumed will be found sufficient, more particularly
when the additional bridge now in contemplation at the mouth
of the Nullah shall be completed.
The roadway of the new bridge will be planked in the same
manner as the Bally-ghant bridge ; ever the planking a layer
oficoath four inches thick, will be laid on the bridge, may be
paved with bricks placed edge-wise in the same manner as in
some parts of the Barrackpoor road, which appears fully to an-
slier. The roadway of the bridge will thus be in all respects
the same as any other pucka road. And as a degree of tension
Will be given to the chains, sufficient to provide against any
undulatory motion.,—there can be no reasonable apprehension
that cattle will be alarmed in crossing over.
It will be observed, that the chains which sustain the bridge
fall below the rail-way as they approach the ,centre.
The object of this arrangement, which is different from that
of the Kallyeghaut Bridge, is to diminiSh the height of the
supporting piers, and thus render them more capable of with-
standing the continued shake of the chains at the point of sus-.
pension; High piers or pillars of brickmasonary, except they
are made exceedingly massy which would inconveniently con-
tract the entrance to the bridge, would be liable to injury from
this cause. The supporting piers are 12 feet high from the
foot to*the upper chem.- The chains rest upon iron beds, built
into the-masonry of the pier. The inner side of the pier is
faced with stone, strongly clamped together. The intention of
facing the inner side of the piers with stone, is to support more
firmly the chains, which are brought close to the inner side, in
older to give as great aAvidth to the approach as possible. In-
deed, it would be advisable, to build the piers, entirely of stone.
The difference of expence would not exceed 1,500 rupees.
It is proposed to suspend the roadway from twelve chains,
ranged in piers. These chains will pass over 1;14 piers as ex-
plained above, fled their ends will be fixed in a muse of ma-
soety, and buried under the roadway leading to the bridge in
the same manner as those of the Kaliyghaut bridge- The up-•
right suspending rods will fall from the joints of the main-
chains, and will he attached to the beams in the roadway near-
ly in the grime W4y as has been done in the above-mentioned
ilxidge. The railing will be made of iron, and fixed into the
roadway, inde
pendent of the main chains or suspending rods,
will therefore secure them from injury from passing carriages.
The weight of the bridge, and utmost load to which it can
be subjected, and the description and quantity of iron that will
be necessary to support this weight, will be as follow i--

froth
therefore,
.hcherlda'xiilebiwduuctSho.inlpstPttlieheeaens'sure in learning, that under the auspices of
Government, it was shortly after thrown over the Berai
Nullah, about eighty miles from Calcutta on the great Be-
nares road, and has been in full use ever since the setting
in of the rains, to the accommodation of thousands of peo-
ple, cattle with merchandize, light hackeries, a detachment
of Native Troops, which in passing nearly covered the
whole surface, the public mails, and Banghys, travellers in
palankeens, &c. &c., who otherwise must have been pulled
over this dangerous torrent on fragile floats, often fatal to poor
people. It is the opinion of several officers, engineers, and
others, who have passed over the bridge where it now stands,
that it is quite equal to the weight of a field-piece with its car-
riage, &c. _

We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter from an
experienced officer, from which we are permitted to quote the
following very interesting passages:—
" I reached the Berai Nullah about 11 A.M.., 19th July,
when the torrent was rushing down with great violence, so an
to preclude the possibility of crossing it by boats, or rafts of
any description. It of course obtained a secure paisage across
this dangerous stream over the Rope Bridge.
" The appearance of the bridge is very beautiful, being sur-
rounded with trees and jungle, and I was surprised to find that
notwithstanding so many thousand people and cattle having
crossed it, that the centre of the bridge is still higher than the
approach at either side; and the treadway appears to form a
segment of an eclipse.
" The bridge appears very strong and solid, and there is little
motion perceivable when crossing it; it is raised very consider-
ably, above the surface of the water, which is a judicious ar-
rangement as was evident to me; for when standing- on the
centre of the bridge looking at the torrent rolling beneath me,
a large tree which appeared to have been torn from its roots was
seen floating down the stream and rolled very majestically be-
neath the bridge.
" The Bridge appears in every way most perfectly to answer
the purpose for which it was intended, and by being adopted
would be a source of the greatest convenience, safety and com-
fort. to every traveller whose destination might lead him across
the numerous hill torrents on the road to Benares, as well as on
many other routes throughout India."
An official report of the Ist instant, which we have seen from
the Gentleman in charge of the Bridge, says—
" Since my last report regarding the Bridge, we have had.
the Berai Nullah full for days together, and much higher than
usual;, still nothing has happened to injure the Bridge. Trees
of enormous size, with all their branches, have, been brought
down by the torrent, which have passed under the h.x. id ge with-
.out the slightest accident ;—in a word, expectatian must now
be fully realized, as. we shall not have the Nullah higher than
it has been ; but if we had, 1 should not in the least be afraid
of any accident whatever."_

To- the foregoing s•Atisractory encomiums on the practical
stability and simplicity of this very ingenious bridge, we have
to add that it was transported to its present position on a few
common hackeries, and set up at once with case and dispatch
by the native carpenter who had constructed the wood-work,
accompanied by a few Callassies, and the model.
It has neither pier-head nor abutment, and the general sec-
tion of the Nullah has been taken : The span of the arch is
160 feet clear, by 9) wide—which' dimensions it is said exceed
those of the Kelly Obaut iroa chain-bridge,,by 20 feet in length
and one in width. The main transom rollers, cr points of. sus-
pensions • which connect with the" setting-up power, are only
raised 6 feet from the ground.
The four lightpiles connect.d with them .rise about 20 feet;
to these friction sheaves are morticed outside for. the radiating
guys springing.from each grade'of the rope-strands, Whereby
the roadway is; ept in equilibrio.
The whole weight in suspension is somewhere about 6,000 lbs.

TO TIM Klijyo7l. OF THE L.TVEAPOOL,

Sri .• •
hiving beee suggested to rnee, -roe,
of the leading public melt of this town, npoe
• whom I did Myself the honour of 'waiting scion
after my arrival here, that those gentlemen syhe
were most likely to sympathize with the suffer-
iir Greeks, ilitive!rpool, would require some
previous information as to the actual state or
Greece, the twitory occupied by the armed pe-
pulation, and the means they possess of retainien
what has beet: achieved, -1 feel great pleasure in
availing myself of thtabove suggestion ; and
at/preheat iffita it captiot be done more effectual-
ly than through the medium of your colinnas.—
According to ttie lateSt accounts from the seat Gr
war, the Greeks were in possession of the Morrni,
Livadia, Salocka,Messolunghi, and Agraphe, te-
gether with ileveral other military posts in Epi7ll,::
also of the•mountaiuma districts of Tricala ac,!
Valos, in• Thessaly. To the foregoing Rosser:-
siotis on the continent may be added the follow-
ing islands of the .Archipelago SernoE,
•Serpho, Nicaria, Skyro, Ipsara, Hydra, Spezzia,
Milo, Nexia, Zea, 'lino, MycoaoS, And'ro,
Patmos, and several other of smaller note. As
have already had ocation to observe, there are
only a few isolated points held by the Turks,
such as Patras, Coron, and MOdon, in the
Morea, (the Acro,Corinthos having lately ca-
pitulated ;) the Castle of Carysto, in Negro-
pont ; and of Canea and Retymo, in Candid.
The number of Turkish troops shut up in these
places are estimated at at..out 11,000 men.—
The recent defeat of a large division of tl-,e
Turkish fleet, in the Gulph of Volos, is known
to your readers; but they are'cot, perhaps aware,
that a Greek squadron, on board of which Prime.
Mavrocordato was lately proceeding to the relief
of Messolunghi, encountered the Algerine fleet in
the waters of Patras, ands arter a' severe actier,
succeeded in capturing and destroying- ten sail o''
their best ships. It is confidently reported that
there was a frigate among the former. NO, ,„01„
did the news of this defeat reach Ouier
who was preparing to attack Messoltinghi with !,
large force, collected near that place subeequent
to the heroic strut made by Mar;co..faotzaris ao6
his brave folloWers, then he fled in rat precipi-
tation; leaving the Greeks - masters of the exten-
sive and fertile plains of Acarnania and Etol;d.
The presence of Mavraceordato being thus ren-
dered unnecessary, he was enabled to turn aP
his attention to Patras, which is invested on the
land side by the General-in-Chief Colocotroni,
with a body of ten thousand men. And, non-
that there is no probability of the enemy be-
ing able to make another naval or militai v
effort for somemonths, the friends of Greece
may indulge a reasonable hope, that this 'highly
important place will soon be reduted. two
other celebrated chiefs of the confederation,
Nikitas and Odyseus, are-at the head of large
divisions, in Livadia. The first named is occu.
pied in watching the, remnants of several enemy's
corps; which, after having escaped with their lives,
took refuge in Larissa,' while Odyseus. iS 'prepar-
ing to march into Negropont, for the purpose of
investing Carysto. Such is the present state of
the struggling Greeks. It is, of course, needles,:
to add, that their means of'retaining advantage!,
gained under difficulties and dangers, which have
persuaded so many that there is a special
pros -
dence working forthem, must-, of course, depend
on the success of these appeals made in their be-
half to the Christian world. You have been
good enough to state the motive of my visit to
Liverpool so clearly in your last number,
there is no need of further explanation on tlnn:
point ; with respect to the result of a journey,
undertaken with a view of convincing the Britisl
public that there has been no ekaggeration in'the
