POSEN, DEC. still perceive no indication of
military armaments, everything goes on in its usual course,
only that cartridges continued to be manufactured.
MILITARY FORCE OF RUSSIA ON THE LINE AGAINST THE
CIRCASSIANS AND OTHER MOUNTAIN TRIBES :-1 Infantry
—lst division of four regiments of 5,000 men each, (five
- th.e-an.hisittvirsys in rev: 7,7-M= *-
regiment, ana fetir-Cornpanies, of-Which the 4th is of mar-
ried me 4 form a battalion); ten battalions (Partly mar-
rind) in Tscliernomoria in the country of the Cossacks of
the Back Sea, and in the fortresses in the Black Sea one
battalion of Sappers.
2. Cavalry—Besides the Cossacks of the line and
Tschcnomoria two regiments of Cossacks of Little Rus-
sia of 600 men each, the remains of the four regiMents
which the Rtissian Nobles formedin -the Polish war, four
rt-gitnems of Dan•COSSaCIER of 850 mon.
3. ,Artillery—One field brigade of three b'atteries, of
Cyr( lie guns each ; the mountain artillery, consisting of
tvie,ty-four three-pounders...

T.lere is also artillery in all the forts and ports, which,
if necessary, might be employed in the field.
Thus, we see, when a large force is in the line alone,
31,000 infantry, 4.000 cavalry (without the Cossacks of
the Line and the Black Sea), thirty-six field-pieces, and
the twenty-four three-pounders. The force which Russia
has b?yond the Caucasus is still more considerable than
that on this side, so that Russia might suddenly send an
immense force into Asia.

VIENNA, DEC. 30.—We have just received news front
C.mstantinople, of the 17th, by a merchant's express. It
states that Mehemet Ali has made his unconditional sub-
m, on which the representatives of the Four Powers
met to deliberate on the steps to be taken, in order to in-
duce the Porte to grant Mehemet Alt the hereditary go-
vernment of the Pachalic of Egypt.
N'IHNNA, DEC. 30.—An express from Constantinople
of the 17th brings word that the English steamer Hydra
had arrived there, having left Alexandria on the 16th.
The officer sent by Admiral Stopford to Mehemet Ali, in
consequence of the orders from London, was on board
that steamer. It brings Mehemet Ali's letter to the
Grand Vizier, announcing his unconditional submission to
the Sultan, and his promise to evacuate all the provinces
in his possession except Egypt, and to restore the Turkish
t.

It is generally believed that the petition of Mehemet
Ali to return hereditary pmession of Egypt as a Pachalie,
subject to the Porte, being supported by the Four Powers,
will be granted by the Porte, and thus a question decided
which has engaged the attention of Europe for many
years, and the fluctuations of which have more than once
endangeled the general peace.

Lord and Lady Glentworth have arrived at
Southi!l-park, ncar Bracknell, on a visit to the Earl and
Countess of Limerick.

lIOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.-A
Bsd Leg Cured after 22 years standitg.—Mr. Brooks,
ship builder, residing at No. 22, King-street, Rotherhithe,
had nineteen ulcers on his leg, which for more than 22
years resisted every kind of treatment. Sir Astley Cooper,
Sir Benjamin Brodie, with many other eminent surgeons,
were consulted, but could give no relief. On the 17th of
November last Mr. Brooks, for the first time, commenced
the we of the ointment ands. Ils, and in one month he
was perfectly cured. The pills must be used with the
ointment when any wound or ulcer, however desperate,
will be cured by their means. To be had of every respec-
table chemist in the kingdom, or at 244, Strand, the esta-
blishment of the Proprietor.

All the instruments formerly employed for re-
lieving deafness are now far superseded by the "Voice Con-
ductors invented by Mr. E. Solomons, Nos. 36, 01.1 Bond-
street, and 1, Old Jewry, City. From their ingenious and
minute construction (being only a quarter of an inch in
diameter), they cannot be perceived by the nearest by-
stander, and while they enable deaf persons to distinguish
mixed and confused sounds, or the voice of -a distant
speaker, they afford the most effectual reli,ef to subjects
complaining of singing noises in the ears, and are alto-
gether productive of the most desirable' results. His Pa-
tent Spectacles extend great relierto the vissual organs,
and from a combination of properties which they possess,
aro vastly superior to those hitherto employed. To such
persons who closely apply their sight to reading or any
minute employment, but particularly by candle or lamp
light, they will be found to incalculable advantage. The
highest testimony of their superior merit is conveyed in the
fact, that the principal medical authorities in Europe use
them, and strongly recommend their adoption by all per-
sons who may require optical aid.—Observe, 36, Old
Bond-street, and 1, Old Jevvry, Cheapside.
Papers and letters from Carthagena and Bogota
contain details in extenso of the pronunciamento, as it is
called, that is, the proclamation of insurrection against the
general government and independence of the former city,
with similar declarations of the " free states" of Socorro
and Cienega. The pronunciamento of Carthagena corn.
prises 16 articles, by which its separation and independence
from the Republic of New Granada is formally proclaimed,
but this separation is also qualified as not being of a
" perpetual" or permanent character, but only until
the other provinces acting in conformity, a grand
Convention shall be called, to which Carthagena
would send deputies and submit to the govern-
ment "there elected, provided that it was " republican,
popular, elective, and responsible." In the meantime
Carthagena was to continue to be governed by the
laws and institutians as established under the actual
state of New Granada, excepting in so far as the same
may clash with such acts of the new authorities as
necessarily may result from the new and independent
position assumed. Amongst other matters, Article
13 recites that all the existing laws which refer
to the external and internal debt of the Republic should
be particularly observed, and that the funds for those
purposes arc not to be diverted from their objects. A
long account is given from Socorro of a battle betwixt
some 300 or 400 of he militia of that province and an
equal number of the:; cops of the republic, in which the
latter were defeated, and indeed nearly the whole taken
prisoners, which afford materials of course for a considerable
quantity of bombast. The declaration of the province of
Cienega, by which its secession from the republic of New
Granada, as now constituted, is announced, is com-
paratively a modest document, which may per-
haps be accounted for by the fact that the General
Carmen, who figures at the head, is an old general
of the revolution, who participated in all its wars, the
proofs of which are enumerated in European style in a list
of all his orders of the " libertadores," &c. The upshot of
all these revolutionary movements would seem so far to
refer only to a change of men in the supreme government.
When these have been replaced by a new set from among
the chief promoters of the present movement, affairs will
doubtless proceed in the regular course for a few years, and
until the old', or some other party, gain sufficient strength
to back their ambition and commence a series of new pro-
nunciamentos.

EXTENSIVE FIRE.—On Friday last, about half-
past ten o'clock in the evening, a fire broke out at Hemp-
ton Wick, on the extensive premises of Mr. Stevens, corn
and coal merchant, and from the nature of the stock, &c ,
consisting of a quantity of coal, corn, hay, straw, and other
combustible materials, it was feared that the premises ad-
joining would have been entirely consumed. Three en-
gines were soon on the spot, and from the unwearied exer-
tions evinced by the public, the fire was most fortunately
confined to Mr. Stevens's premises. For some time, how-
ever, but little water could be procured, the pumps having
been frozen, and with difficulty the engines were worked,
the thermometer being 20 degrees below frerzing point.
We arc happy to hear that the whole property was insured
in the Phoenix and Royal Exchanges Insurance Offices.
No cause can be assigned as to the origin of the fire, but
it broke out in the straw-loft, just above the stable, ;Ilia
contained eight horses; the whole were with considerable
difficulty saved. We regret to add that the thieves from
all parts were too numerous for the police, nearly every
bucket and utensil of any value used on the occasion Lav-
ing been stolen. The house of Mr. Minton adjoining was
plundered of a large quantity of bedding, &c., others shar-
ing the same fate, in a less degree, in the removal of their
goods for greater security.

MAIDSTONE, JAN. 9.—At the Borough Ses-
sions, which took place here yesterday, before Mr. David
Polleck, the Recorder, a degree of excitement was exhi-
b'ted that has not been equalled for many years. Every
corner of the hall was densely crowded, and the Counsel
and Grand Jay were not able to pass in and out without
the mist strenuous cff.,rts of the police. The cause cf
the feeling of anxiety arose from its being known that
Thomas Piety, a wholesale file vendor in the Maidstone
market, and Thomas Gibbet), well known as a coach guard,
were to be tried for felony. The trial lasted throughout
the day, and the Jury, at balf-past seven o'clock, returned
a verdict of Guilty against Piety, and Not Guilty against
Gibbon. At the request of Sir W. Riddell, the Learned
Reorder asked the Jury upon what grounds they acquitted
Gibb and the Foreman said in consequence of there
been; no proof of his having had possession of the stolen
pro.)erty. The Court deferred passing sentence upon
etety until further inquiries could be made. Kent, the
approver, was obliged to be guarded by the police in and
out of Maidstone, and such was the violent menacings of
the mob, that in all probability his life wculd have been
sacrificed but for this precaution. The prisoners it was
stated have long been connected with a gang of offenders
Who hare infested the country for years.

NAVIGATION COMPANY.
Mr. PEMBERTON was about to move in this case on
behalf of the plaintiff for an injunction to restrain Mr.
Hartley, one of the defendants, from selling or trans-
ferring- three steam ships which the plaintiff (who hrd
obtained a patent. for the improvement of steam engines
for the economical consumption of fuel) alleged had
been made valuable by the application of his invention,
and for which he had received no remuneration, when
Mr. LOYAL and Mr. TURNFR (who appeared fee
some of the defendants), stated that their clients had
6at, jqs received a copy of theaffidavit filed by the
which they wished to answer, and therefore ap-
i.lied for time for that purpose.
Th,_! COURT ordered the motion to sand over till the
next seal.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JAN. 11.
This being the first day of Hilary Term, the Court
was opened at two o'clock, with the usual formalities.
The Judges presiding were Lord Denman, and Justices
Littledale, Matteson, and Coleridge.
STRONGALD V, CAMPBELL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAE moved in this case for a
rule to show cause why the peremptory undertaking
made by the plaintiff should not be discharged. The
action was commenced so far back as 1818, and it
seas for a breach of various contracts catered into
for the supply of rags from Italy to be used
in England. Various circumstances, however,
prevented the trial of the case till 1838, when the
plaintiff entered into a peremptory undertaking to tr)
it, but when the case came on there was a paucity of
Special Jurors in attendance, neither party would
pray a tales, and the cause went off. Since then a bill
had been filed in equity for the production of certain
documents, and the plaintiff being apprehensive that
the defendant would move for judgment as in case of a
nonsuit, wished to have the under taking discharged, he
having done all that could be required of him.
The COURT granted a rule to enlarge the under-
taking till the sitting after Easter term.
ANDREWS V. MORIS AND WITHAM.
Lord DENMAN gave judgment in this case, which
had been argued during the last term. It was an ac-
tion for assault and false imprisonment, and a verdict
was had for the plaintiff, damages 101., subject to the opi-
nion of t►he Court on a special case. It appeared a judg-
ment had bee❑ obtained against the plaintiff in a Court
of Requests, established under the 42d Geo. Bd., for a
suns of M., and the order of the Court was that the
plaintiff do pay the same, with costs, at the rate of ten
shillings weekly, and in the event of the payments not
being regularly made, the Court was authorized to issue
its judgment for the payment of the entire sum.
After the payment of the first instalment the
plaintiff refused to pay any more, and the de-
fendant Moris, who was clerk of the Court, without
obtaining the judgment of the Commissioners issued a
warrant for the apprehension of the plaintiff, who was
arrested by Witham, the officer of the Court, and im-
prisoncd for 100 das, and it was for this imprisonment
the action had been brought. The Court was of opinion
that the action had been properly brought against the
defendant Moris, inasmuch as he had not followed the
practice of the Court of Requests, in obtaining the
judgment of the Commissioners previously to issuing
the warrant, which was therefore irregular, and of no
force. The other defendant had, however, merely
acted in obedience to his instructions, and therefore the
judgment of the Court must he for the plaintiff as
against Moris, and for the defendant Witham.

THE QUEEN V. TIIE VICTORIA PARK COMPANY.
The Cocci' gave judgment in this case, which was an
application for a wand awns against the defendants.
commanding, them to pay a sum of 1,100/, which had
been recovered in an action and the costs, and also to
mike certain calls upon the shareholders. The Com-
pany had been incorporated by 'Act of Parliament, one
of the clauses of which provided that they might be
sued in the name of their treasurer. The action had
accordingly been brought against the treasurer, and a
verdict having lo,>en obtained for the su.n of 1,1001.
application was made to the Secretary, who stated that
the Company had no funds, and that no new calls
could be made, as they had not a sufficient number of
Directors to form a quorum, in order to make these
calls. The plaintiff was therefore left without it re-
medy, notwithstanding his having obtained judgment.
The Court could not direct a mandamus to go in the
present case, ordering payment of the debt and costs,
because it appeared that the Company had no property,
and if they granted a rule in the present case, it would
be difficult tc refuse it in a case in which the Sheriff
returned nulla bona. If, however, the facts had war-
ranted them they might have made the rule absolute, as
regarded the latter part, namely, the payment of calls,
because there was nothing to prevent their compelling.
the Company to exercise the power of putting them-
selves in funds for the payment of their debts. It was,
however, admitted, that a rule to compel the payment
of shares would not be useful, because there were not a
sufficient number of qualified Directors to make these
calls. The rule, therefore, must be discharged, but,
under the circumstances, without costs.

BAIL COURT, JAN. 11.
(Before Mr. Justice WiLunms.)
This being the first day of term, his Lordship, did
not take his seat upon the bench, until half-Fait one
o'clock.

ADLAM V. NOBLE.
Mr. ADDISON moved for a rule to show cause rrhy
the warrant of attorney and the proceedings heard
therein in this case should not be set aside, on the
ground that in point of fact no attorney nominated by
the defendant had attended the execution of it.
Mr—Justice WILLIAMS—HOW does it appear on
the face of the warrant ?

Mr. AontsoN---I bolievo it there appears to have
been regularly executed, but I have not a copy.
Mr. Justice WlLLlAms—Then you bad better delay
your application.

CRIMINAL. INFORMATION-THE QUEEN V. THE rno-

FRIETORS OF THE " LEEDS Tim Es."

Mr. ADDISON, on behalf of Mr. Thomas Rogerson,
jun., an attorney of the Court, applied for a rule calling
upon the proprietors of the Leeds Times to show
cause why a criminal information should not. be Wed
against him for the publication of a libel rt fl'cting on
the character of the applicant. The alleged libel was
published in the Leeds Times of the 28th December
last, and was contained in an article commenting on the
recent Leeds municipal elections, headed " The
Barnesicy Tories." It imputed to the plaintiff that he
had caused a person named George Dufton, a Liberal
voter, to be committed to gaol for a debt of 1/. 10s.,
at the suit of a person named Roberts, which suit was
prosecuted in the Pontefract Honour Court. It went on
to impute to impute to the applicant that, having en-
tered into an arrangement with Dufton, to prevent his
attending the Court, he took advantage of Dufton's ab-
sence, and procured judgment to be issued against him,
and caused him to be imprisoned in Rothwell Gaol ;
wher:.as, if he had attended the Court, he might have
procured time to pay the debt by instalments, and that
having been applied to for Dalton's release, he had
said " I have paid to put him into gaol, let the Yel-
lows pay to get him out ;' and that he had refused to
allow certain money due to the wife of Dalton front
hitn, for cleaning his office, to be taken in part discharge
of the debt. The affidavit of the defendant denied the
whole of the allegations of the libel.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS thought the heading of the
article, and the whole character of it, showed that it
Was a party matter, and not calculated to injure the
lie
plicant in his private character. If it wereso. and
: open to
he
could prove damages, there was another remedy

i
him. He had had the opportunity of n
the truth of the allegations against him, and ie did not
consider it was a case calling for the special Interpol'.
Lion of the Court.—Application refused.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 11.
The Judges of this Court (having, as usual, break_
fasted with the Lord Chancellor) took their Eents
