RUSSIAN MANUFACTURES.

ST. PETERSBUGH, AUG. 17.—The Senate has
promulgated by two Ukases, dated the 22d and
23d of July last, two Supreme -Resolutions, of
which the following arekthe chief heads :-
1. In consequence of a petition to the Board of 'Finance, by
which many of the principal manufacturers of printed calleeei
solicit an exemption from import duties for the white calicoes
which they print in their establishments, and on a representa-
tion of the Minister of Finance, his Majesty the Emperor has
been pleased to order that not only the manufacturers who are
the authors of the petition, but all others who shall produce
the certificates Tertuired by the regulations of 1020, on this sub.
ject, provided their machines are of the same kind as those Of
the former, may for the space of four years fi.om this time lit-
port, free of duty, the finest white calicoes,.on condition that
each piece,nne arsheen broad and thirty-six long, shall not
weigh above fourpeunds and three quarters; for this purpose,
as well as for the importation duty. free of cambrics, muslins,
and jeconets, which is also authorized for the same time and
on the same conditions, permits shall be delivered to them con-
formably to the regulations in the liberty granted in 1020, for
one year to the same manufacturers, and prolonged for another
year by a Supreme Decision of July 1, 1821.
The number of pieces of plain calico which each manufacturer
may receive annually duty free is fixed: at 6,01)1) per machine, ,
and at 25 per table.
This immunity may be revoked if circumstances shall make
it seem necessary.
The manufacturers are at liberty either to order their calicoes
directly front abroad, or to purchase on the. Exchange of St.
Petersburgh those which have not yet paid the duties, provided
thy answer to the conditions above stated.
. tfin receiving the calicoes duty free, each manufacturer must
deposit at the Custom House a bond in writing, to produce at
the end of the year authentic certificates, sewing that the
whole of what they have received has been actually printed.
If the manufacturer has not printed them at the end of the
year, he shall, within two weeks, pay the whole Import Duty
fixed by the Tariff, without being therefore exempted from
printing them, which he shall be obliged to do immediately.
He shall not be allowed to receive any more, duty free, till he
has paid those duties ; and if it is proved that he has sold plain
calicoes, he shall not only be irrevocably deprived of the immu-
nity, but also proceeded against by law as guilty of a fraud on
the Customs.

2. On the application of the merchants of St. Petershurgli,
and the recommendation of the Minister of Finance, his Im-
perial Majesty has been pleased to permit that the Import
Duty, which by the supplement to the Tariff of 1822, pro.
mulgated lust year, was raised to one ruble 25 copecs silver

[Til E TIMES.]

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 11th inst.pub.
lishes a report from Constantinople, that Ibrahim
Paella, commander of the Egyptian squadron
which had been so severely mauled by the Greeks,
has shown himself in a • -condition to pail from
Bondrouti, with the design of making an attempt
on the Morea. The channel through which this
rumour has reached the► above-named newspaper
is not less open to suspicion than is the statement
itself. As ilubadil and .Pistolohe more heartily
they were thrashed, indemnified themselves by
blustering with the more, clamorous. fierceness,
so the respective Bashaws of Madrid .and _Con-
stontinople seem to take„ revenge for the humi-
liations inflicted on ~one of them.. in South
America, on the other in Greece, by the
Inonstrous tales and bonstiugs which they
spread about. the state of their affairs iu
these two scenes of their discomfitures. If iibra-
'him Pattie, wills his strength unbroken, and with
the Turkish-fleet- to support him, was. compelled
to fly as often as-he came in sight of the common
enemy,: it is not likely that he should venture on
offensive operations, after having lost above a
moiety of his own force, and after the total ..de-
leat;and annihilation of. his ally :.nor, if by.any
accident the Egyptian Admiral should have
gained spirit enough for such .an . enterprise,
would the Morea appear to him the most in.

invader than Ibrahim Pacha : nor is it probahle
that he would risk the fleet, which has so often
saved itself by flight only, from destruction, for
an object of such secondary importance as the
provisioning a ,fort, with a slender garrison, which
has no command over the country beyond the
range of its own cannon.. We offer these obser.
vatlons, however, as mere conjectures upon nnau.
thenticated and hesitating reports. There are,
unhappilyi for statements from Greece which
come in any shape entitling them to immediate

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY—(TnIs DAY.)
DR. ABERNETHY AND TIIE LANCET.
The Court was this day again crowded to
excess by Gentlemen anxious to hear the issue of
this cause. Mr. Abernethy's Solicitor was about
to present a mass of papers to his Lordship, when
Mr. liottriE enquirvd if they were supported by
affidavit, and being answered in the negative, ob.
jected to their being received as evidence. The
objection was allowed, and the case ordered to
stand over until Wednesday, the Solicitor under.
taking to file the affidavits by that day.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(Tms DAY.)
LIBEL.---THE INDIAN ODSEHVEIL
SMITH V. WHITE.
Mr. GuattaY stated the case. This was an
action brought by the plaintiff, a Captain in the
East India Company's Service, and Commander
of the William Fairly Indiaman, to recover a
compensation in damages against the defendant,
William White, Proprietor of the Indian Observer,
for a libel published in that Journal on the 22d
February last, which imputed to him, Captain
Smith, symptoms of insanity, and those symptoms
be had shewn on former occasions : the conse-
quence was, that several persons refused to sail
in Captain Smith's vessel on a voyage to India,
and the ship sailed without its complement of
passengers.
The Proprietor of the Paper being proved,
ELIFORD addressed the Jury on behalf of
the defendant. Ile observed, that his client had
no malignant motive against the plaintiff, and,
from the obscurity of the Journal itself, he could
not have sustained any injury.
The LORD CHIEF JusTicx summed up, and
the Jury found, for the plaintiff'.--Damages 2501.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT, MA IDSTONE,.DEc. 17.
MURDER AT BECKENHAM.
Thomas Coombs, aged 23, was indicted for the wilful, murder
of Tho Mas Morgan, under gardener, in the service' ()formic-
nuel Goodhart, Esq., of Langley Park, in the parish of Beck-
enhain, •
'Mr. 13B9DEBICK stated the case for the prosecution, arid
gave a succinct detail of the -circumstances, by which he pro-
posed to bring the charge home to the prisoner. • •
All the particulars of the case, and the evidence have already
public• through the medium of, the Police Office
beenexa enactsminatis, and have appeared in our Paper. The following
are the only new facts,wlueh came out.
Mr. James Watkins, a tobacconist, of Rent-street, in the
Borough, looked at some pieces of paper found in the prisoner's
room, and comparing them with the paper wadding taken from
the gun and pistol, had no doubt that they formed part of the
wrappers used in his shop in the way of his trade. The corres-
ponded exactly. Two pieces of papertaken from the pistol and
fitted to a third piece found in the prisoner's room, formed one
entire bill, with his name 'and address upon it.
The prisoner being called upon for his defence, said, that
some parts of the evidence against him were untrue ; but he did
not state in what particulars it was false. He said he had no
friends to assist him in his defence.
Mr. Benstead, a Maidstone hoyman and stone merchant, said
he had knOwn the prisoner for ten years. For seven years of
that period he had employed him as a labourer, during which
time he had conducted himself with great propriety. For the
last three years he had known very little of him.
Mr. Justice Bu ItUOUOII summed up the case for the Jury,
as one requiring the pecaliar attention of the Jury, making
such observations as were calculated to assist them in coming to
a satisfactory conclusion, from the .various minute circum-
stances upon which the question of guilt or innocence depended.
If the Jury were convinced, by what they had heard, that the
prisoner was the murderer, they ought to say so by their ver-
dict; but if they entertained any sober, rational doubt upon
the subject, they ought to incline m favour of innocence.
The Jury deliberated a few minutes, and found the prisoner
Guilty.
Mr. Justice BIHIROUGII immediately pronounced the awful
sentence of the law and ordered the, prisoner, to be executed
on Menday next (this day.)
Two other capital convicts, one named Ingram, for a bur-
glary a Sheerness ; the other, George Shrzibiole, for sealing
29 slieep,'were also left for execution. The' Assizes ended on
Friday evening about seven o'clock.

We hear that a club, on an extensive scale, is
about to be formed to the north of Oxford-street,
from which play of every 'dual!) to be excluded.

BANKRUPTCY

or
STRACEY, AND GRAHAM.

A fattier investigation of the affairs of Messrs. Marsh, Stra-
cev awl rainun took place before the Commissioners of Rank-
ro,lo, at Guildhall, on Saturday. A very few persons only
present until after eleven o'clock (apprehending . some
were
wstpooentent probably) in the morning; but as soon as it was
;Talersttxxl that the bankrupts were to appear, (though not to
make their final disclosure), the room speedily became so crowd-
ed that the Commissioners with difficulty got to their seats.—
Several eminent barristers were in attendance professionally.
The Common Serjeant appeared for Mr. Marsh ; Mr. F. Poi-
lock, for :11r. Stracey : and Mr. Merewether for Mr. Graham.
The assignees, Messrs. Holland, Hare, and Knight, also came
forward, (though neither bankrupts nor assignees could get a
seat), and Mr. Basil Montagu appeared as their Counsel.
Messrs. Marsh, stracey, and Graham having been sworn by
the Chief Commissioner to make a true disclosure, and informed
in the regular way that any concealment of property beyond
20/. by them would become a felony.
Mr. Kxto AT (the attorney) rose, and desired to put some
questions.
Mr. 111 0 TAG It submitted that Mr. Knight's proceeding
was premature. The regular course was, in the first place,
for the balance.sheet to be produced ; and the next business
wait fur the assignees to offer their observations upon it to the
Coimissioners.
Mr. IhlttinT. insisted thathe was in order, and that he had
a right to put his questions : he represented a body of ere&
tors whose claim was to the amount of 60,0001.
Mt. Moivraou did not mean to dispute Mr. Knight'sright,
but merely to correct him as to the time of exercising it. His

will make Kent the centre of our Trade with France, and will
render Canterbury and Dover Commercial Towns of the first
importance.
It is therefore confidently believed, that of all the Plans for
reducing the expellee of carriage which have been contem-
plated, the Kent Railway will be the most profitable to the
Shareholders, and the most beneficial to the County and to the
Public at large. It possesses great and peculiar advantages.
The Returns will not be declared as is usual in similar under-
takings, until the whole line of communication is complete,
but will commence as soon as the Railway reaches Woolwich,
anti will become very great indeed when it extends thirteen
miles further to Gravesend. Interfering with no vested in-
terests, the Kentish Railway will probably meet with no ob-
struction in Parliament, and may-be expected to receive the
countenance and support of Governinent, in consequence of
:Hording a cheaper and more rapid communication with the
great Naval and .Military Depots.
This Company will be governed"by Eighteen London Di-
rectors, who are empowered to add' to their number, twelve
Gentlemen selected from the Cottute of Kent, whose names
will appear in a short time, and who will have the right of
attending, when convenient, at the Meetings of the Directors
in London, and of voting thereat. The Capital of the Com-
pany is One Million, consisting or Ten Thousand Shares of
100/. each, on which a Deposit of IL has been paid. As early
an application to Parliament will he made for an Act to carry
these objects into elliwt as the number and importance of the
prior arrangements will admit. No further Call will certainly
be made until June next ; nor even at that time, unless the
Act of Parliament for establishing the Company shall have
been obtained. No future Calls will exceed 4/. in Amount at
any one time ; and every facility will be given to the Share-
holders in the transfer of their Allures, and in pitying the itie
stalments which will be required.
Any further iufonnation can be obtained at the Offices of
the Compatiy, No. 119, Poultry. where all Communications are
in future to-be addressed.

CHURCH DISCIPLINE.

The modern system of pertnitting Psalms and
Hymns to be snug in the Established Churches,
which are not allowed by law, is likely to be pro-
ductive of much mischief. It gives rise to petty
feuds in the country parishes, and introduces
tunes, not compatible with the ancient Church
Melodies—which stand unrivalled in the estima-
tion of the Musical World for their simplicity
and feeling. This innovation in the Church Ser-
vice, and many others connected with the Esta-
blishment, ought to be inquired into by the
Archdeacons of the several Dioceses at their vi-
sitations ; and in order to prevent any miscon-
ception of the duties of the Officiating Ministry
and of the Church Wardens—a series of stand-
ing interrogatories should be delivered to them
by the Ordinary, embracing all the various ob•
jects of their duties, and which they should be
required to return, under their signatures, to the
Archdeacons. These returns should embrace
the state and condition of Parsonage Houses and
Churches—Of the endowed and other Schools
in the several Parishes, and how they are main-
tained—The number of places of Worship dis-
senting from the. Church—and the number of per-
sons attending them. Indeed, all the OLD LEGAL
DUTIES of the Officiating Minister and Church-
warden should be revived and called into action,
and a return made to the A rchdeacon, who should
report-the seine to viiE DtocesAsr through his
Secretary, and not be, merely, deposited in the
Tower of the Cathedral of his Diocese, where, in
a few years, it will become illegible and of no
use to posterity. If, however, the Members of
the Church of England wish to recover the High
State they formerly held in this Country—
the Bishops should enforce the old ordinances,
and revive the Rural Deans,—for although the
Holy Men in former times, who filled this kind
and pastoral office, with sincerity and integrity,
relied on the justice of their Diocesans for pre-
ferment, as a return for their labours, and were
rarely ever disappointed, it is not to he expected
in these plays, that the Clergy, who should take
upon themselves, the laborious and important
functions of Rural Deans, can receive that
preferment in the Church, to which their zealous
and disinterested extra services,in that character,
entitled them, for the office of a Rural Dean is
gratuitous. That there• are at present eminent
exceptions in the Church to this observation is
notorious—but the competition for Church pre-
ferment is so great, and Parliamentary influence
is so strong, that although the Patron is anxious
to promote the pious and laborious. Parish Priest,
who honestly and forcibly inculcates all the
duties, which are essential to the maintenance of
order and good society, he cannot gratify his
own feelings, by giving him 'a living.—from in-
fluences of another sort which ought not to be
allowed to operate, in cases of this nature.

MAD FoxEs.—Fpr sevcraLinplfths it has !wen
remarked that the Foxes in the country bordering on the Rhine
were attacked with a singular disorder„and bit all kinds of uni.
male they encountered. It is now ascertained that they. are
mad, and thesanie malady has shewn itself in . every animal
they have bitten. In several villages, particularly at Aremberg,
the farmers have been obliged to shoot their cows, the disorder
having shewn itself among them in a terrible manner. In
the Duchy of Nassau, measures have been taken to hunt dews
the Foxes, but the rued ones have not yet readied the lett banlc'
of the Rhine. Some apprehension also is entertained that,
;the same disease may be propagated among other wild animsls,
and caution has been recommended. in purchasing and eating

Had

in hand in England prior to that event 1-4 cannot'
answer. to that event : I only know that several
times great stocks, of good's have accumulmed in
England, which the opening of the intercourse has
thrown off.

Were British goods during that -period invoiced to
America dearer tha❑ before ?-1 should think not
materially.

Was the insurance higher than before ?—The in-
osurance to the United States of America ha never
been any thing considerable, that I can remember;
it generally runs from two to three guineas per cent.
as I can recollect.

You therefore cart give no reason for the advance
of price in the American market, but the inability of

THE KING V. TnE ni-HAtITANTs OF lIFRAIONWEY

Mr. SrANKin stated, that this was an indict-
, merit to cotapel the Parish„ of Bermondsey to re-
pair a road, leading fro► Bermondsey to Dept-
ford. The ,road in question .was a part leading
from the Blue Anchor public house to a place
called Galley Wall. , The Parish was called on to
repair it, on the' grwarid that it- was a
.common
highttiay, and the first question the Jury had ~to
try was, whether it Was a common highway, and
secondly, whether they had a right 'to repair it.
was contended by. Mr.' Spankie, that, daring
he space 9f-seven years, the road in question had
been public' for the King's Subjects going from
Bermondsey to DeptfOrd, and as the public right
to _pass and repass could not be disputed, the Pa-
rish was bound to keep it in repair.
Several of the .most respectable inhabitants, ad-
joining the ;place were called to tiros e that the
road had been open tor more than seven years.
Mr.llTor,Arl, OA the, part of theYdrish, con-
tended, that 'the public had not thefight 'of way,'
and, in fact, that the, road was part-of the:estate
,of a Mr. Randall. 4fter a considerable in.restiga-,
tion, the jury returned their. verdict that the de-
fendants-was Not Guilty ; consequently the Parish
is not liable to fepair the iklad,

LITERATTjEr..

It has been our practice occasionally to notice
works of merit in literature, aud,as a producti,ni
which has 'just issued from the pen of Mr.
MAN, under eie title Of POETICAL VA(JAIUg.S.

poisesses ranch original humour, we are induced
to present to our Readers •the following extxact
from it. it is, as they will perceive, a kind of
parody on The Boat Song in The Lady of the Lake,
a poem that is too excellent to receive any injury
from this si?ortive effusion, which may be consi-
dered as a sally of humour, intended merely as'
such by the author, and which, we doubt not,
will be received in that light by the admired Poet
of the North. - ,
