BOSNIA.

On the 17th Dec,,mber 0110 r Pasha made his
triumphal entry into Bosna Serai. Mahniud, the re-
bellious Pasha of Tuzla, rode on a miserable saddle
affixed to the back of a peasant's sorry jade. After
him rode the other prisoners the Musselims, the
Cadis, &c., each Ilene being afrtached to the saddle
of its predecessor. Four Nisams (Christians), dressed
as jesters. with cap and bells, and perform-
ing all kinds of antics, led on the mourn-
ful procession. After this first act was over,
lquitapha Pasha Babic was led on foot through the
streets. anti it is said that the sad spectacle drew
tears from the eyes of many of the Turks who stood
round. Omer Pasha intended to proceed at once to
the lierzegowina. I\l.4hinud Pardia had escaped to
Vinkovze, in Slavonia, but for some reason unknown
he returned to ruzla, and voluntarily surrendered
himself' to Sn.askier, who has treated him as
above-mentioned, and paid the arrears of his troops
with the 18,000 dueats which he found in the fallen
despot's poss.s6iLlli.

CONVICTION OF A SOLICITOR.
On Tuesday, at the Norwich city sessions, Jonathan
Whiteley Cooper, solicitor, aged 38, was charged with
having, on the 4th of July last, unlawfully and by false
preto.nee, obtained the sum of 51. 6s. from Richard hills
Burrell, hair mainifacturer, of St. Mary's. This case,
it will be remembered, was traversed from the last ses-
sions, and from the well-known position of the prisoner
caused eonsiderabl,, interest.
Mr. Carlos Cooper opened the case on the part of the
prosecution at great length, observing that the inquiry
was of great importance to the defendant, whose ohs-
nscter as a solicitor was of course deeply involved; but
it was of sti!l greater importance to the public, because
it was obvious that an attorney had opportunities of
imposjng, upon those wLo might employ him. Fie was,
moreorier,perfretly competent, it he was so disposed, to
obutiß various sums of money from his clients for pur-
poses of which they were generally speaking totally

is
Richard Mills Burrell, the prosecutor, was then sworn
and said—l am a horse-hair manufacturer. I was in
July last in partnership with Messrs. Ilindes. Shortly
after that time an action was brought by Messrs.
Hindes against me. I went, upon hearing this,
to consult Mr. Cooper, the attorney, and stated
the case to him. I gave tine my coguovit to pay the
costs by instalments. I left the matter entirely to
him. Mr. Cooper sent for me on the Monday follow-
ing. I went to him. He said do you know what
you promised inn. I said no. He said you told me
you would br:ng an action against the Messrs. Hindes.
I said I could not think of that, es I was on such good
terms with them. He told me I must do so, as they
might transport me. I said thvv were the first persons
who had ever brought a stain upon my character. I
showed him my hoolt. He said you will do anything to
keep your character up. I said yes. I saw him on the
follovv.ing morning, and 4721,0 him 1/. 33. fur the procur-
ing of a writ, which was 1/. 2a 10d., and as I had no
change, the difference I said he might have for a glass of
porter.
The Recorder—No respectable attorney would take
any money for drink. I wish to tell you this, that should
anything of the kind ever occur again, you may
know it.

Examination continued-1 received a note purporting
to be from Mr. Bailey, containing another charge against
me. I have not the note now. I asked what the further
charge was for. He said I had better give him a seed
reign to go and consult a counsel. He afterwards told
me he went to Mr. Evans. (11r. Evans being in court
denied this assertion.)
The Recorder said that was another curious circum-
stance, the fee being, according to ancient practice, one
guinea, and no respectable counsel could be consulted
undsr that fee.
Examination continued—He told me I must file a de-
clara,ion, and I must give him the money to do so. He
asked me for one guinea, which I gave him. I gave him
the money before the declaration was filed. I saw him
again after that. He told me of a replication, which he
said was necessary,

the cause could not go on without it. He told me he
for the purpose of carrying on
had paid all the money
the action. Ile was absent about twenty minutes.
When he returned, he said he had paid the fees. I
saw him on the Thursday morning, just after this. He
said he hal good news to tell me. He called at my
door at six o'clock in the morning, and took me into
his garden; he said he had influence with a clerk in Mr.
Bailey's office, and he could go there when ho liked to
see how things were going on. I received a notice of
certiorari from Mr. Bailey. He told me he thought the
Messrs. Hindes were going to remove the action.

Mr. Henry Miller sworn, said—l am Registrar of
the Guildhall Court. All writs are signed and sealed by
me. A writ was issued by the prisoner on behalf of
Burrell against the Messrs Hindes on the 14th of June.
No declaration was filed till the 2.3 i of September, and in
consequence no plea could he filed at all. No certiorari
was ever issued, or everi could be; and no proceedings
were ever removed. All the fees I ever received was 4s.
Mr. Bailey entered an appearance against the writ.
By the Recorder—No replication wss necessary. The
case was not ripe for it, there being no plea.
Elijah Crozier Bailey said—l entered an appearance
for the Messrs. Hindes. I had a copy of notice of de-
claration served on me on the 23d of September. I never
entered any plea. I never obtained a certiorari. It was
never mentioned.

Burrell, re-examined by Mr. Carlos Cooper—l re-
member a message coming from the prisoner's father on
a Sunday morning. It was the day before I went before
the magistrates.
Mr. Wm. Cooper then addressed the jury for the
prisoner, urging upon them what the consequences would
he, should a verdict be recorded against one who held a
respectable position amongst bis legal brethren. A
person having isuch tran9aciions with an attorney, and
giving money whenever he liked to ask for it, ss as al-
most impossible to believe. The Learned Gentleman
concluded by hoping their verdict would be of such a
nature as at once to place the prisoner in that high po-
sition which he and his father tlefore him had hitherto
held.

The Recorder then, with great minuteness, com-
ment. d upon the most material points of evidence, ex-
plaining to the jury such parts as bare most upon the
evidence before the Court relative to the replication,
which was perfectly unnecessary, no declaration having
been issued. The evidence given by the prosecutor
showed that such instructions were given to him by
Cooper, which, if they were to be believed, proved at
once the false representations. The point for their con-
sideration was, whether such false statements were made
by the prisoner, and with a design to defraud.
The jury, after a few moments' deliberation, returned
a verdict of Guilty of the second count, relative 'to the
replication.
The Recorder said, it was a very serious circumstance
that one who like himself bad followed the profession of
the law so many years should be called upon to pass
sentence upon a man who had been to his (the Recorder's)
knowledge a member of the same profession. The prisoner
had it appeared made use of his knowledge of the law,
and of the facilities which he possessed in consequence of
the profession which he had carried on, for the purpose
of defrauding a person by misrepresentation. Now, if
the prisoner had done this, he had really become a pest
to society. He had been permitted to have a superior
education—an education which should have qualified him
to lead a much better course of life, and to have set an
example to persons in an inferior station. In the
present case, had he (the prisoner) been convicted of
all the offences charged against him, and had the in-
dictment been a little differently drawn up, it would
have been impossible for the Court not to have passed
the sentence of seven years' transportation. However,
some members of the legal profession might have con-
ducted themselves, and whatever some unthinking people
might have said, rather perhaps in joke thaw otherwise,
still the profession was held in high estimation. It was
therefore quite necessary that the confidence which was
given them should not be abused, for the tranactions of
life could not go on unless great confidence was reposed
in persons who followed the profession of the law. Per-
sons, then, who broke that confidence ought to be made
a very severe example of. The Recorder then inquired
whether Mr. E. C. Bailey was in court, and that gentle-
mac being present, said, he (the Recorder) wished to
know whether the action against the Messrs. !Endes was
really a bona fide action?
Mr. Bailey— Certainly not. There was not the slightest
foundation for it.

The Recorder wished the matter explained, because
it appeared that Cooper had given Mr. Burrell to under-
stand that the only means of vindicating his character
from any aspersions that might be cast upon it would be
to commence an action, which Messrs. Llindes were
already about to do.
Mr. Bailey—No such proceeding was meditated.

The Recorder said it was a mere scheme, then, that the
prisoner had adopted, for the purpose of extracting money
from Mr. Burrell's pocket. He had. represented that
it would be necessary on the part of Mr. Burrell to ex-
pend a very considerable sum of money. The prisoner
had thus obtained possession t,f 211., out of which sum he
had paid 21. and 45., being the expense of one writ.
The Prisoner—Two writs.
The Recorder resumed—So that this action was
commenced and conducted by the prisoner for Mr.
Burrell as a means of defrauding him. The case had
been fully established to the satisfaction of the jury,
and he (the Recorder) did not believe that it had been
considered with any degree of prejudice, arising from
any reports that migt be in circulation as to the
character which the prisoner had previously borne in
this city. He (the Recorder) had observed the care with
which every matter which had come before them had
been weighed by the jury before any conclusion had been
arrived at. Under these circumstances, if the prisoner
had bee convicted of the whole of the offences which
had been brought against him, transportation would have
been the inevitable result. But as this was not the case,
probably a less degree of punishment would satisfy the
ends of justice. The sentence of the Court upon the
prisoner was, that he be imprisoned and kept to
hard I tbeur for the term ( f twelve calendar months.

The prisoner said there was ono thing he wished to
name. The action (which the Recorder had just men•
tinned to Mr. Willey) was commenced in consequence
of sums which Mr. Burrell had paid to the amount of
16e. 6d.

The }L corder—Mr. Burrell's evidence is directly
contrtry to that statement ; he states that he had no
notion of bringing such an action. Atter a further con-
versation with Mr. Bailey, the lieoorder observed that
the duty of the Court was very plain and clear, and a
much higher sentence would have been passed had the
prisoner been convicted on the other counts of the
indictment.
The prisoner r-as then removed.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

SUGAR.—To-day, in consequence of the extensive
quantity of bag Sugtr at auction, there was very little
business doing in West India by private treaty ; still

caution, but is not offered below 14 71 proof, as few par-

a small scale, and 2s 41 to 2s 9d is the value of 32 to
40 per cent over proof. Jamaica is not cheaper, but the
demand has become limited for all purposee, and the
value of plain and mid quality 34 to 33 per cent over

46s per cwt, according to quality, as there is a large
supply. The rates demanded for Valencia Raisins are
383 to 40s, but little business has been done. Figs

sian on the spot, and prices are firmer; a fair business
having been concluded, and fine new yellow Candle

however have been of little moment; and for Feb-
ruary and March there are sellers at 37s 9d. The quo-
tation for last three months of the year is 38s Gd to 395,

have been entered into at 35s to 35s 6d, and
the market has a firm aspect. Palm support late
rates, but there is less doing privately; and at auction
29 casks were taken in at 29s for fine. Cocoa Nut met

rates. At auction 40 packages were only in part dis-
posed of at 29s 6d to 31a Gd, low and very inferior 22s to

ENCUMBERED ESTATES COMMISSION.

DUBLIN, JANUARY 6.—One of the freshest novel-
ties in the last week's list of new petitions is to
be found in the circumstances of the " estate" of Mr.
James Anderson, situate in the county of Monaghan,
the annual rental of which is estimated at the un-
presuming figure of 151. 55., liable to a head-rent of
18s. 54d. Upon this property there are incumbrances
to the extent of about 6001., so that to clear off all
charges it would be necessary that the estate should
be sold at something like 38 years' purchase. Mr.
Morgan Barron is a petitioner for the sale of his
Waterford property, producing a yearly profit rent
of 101/. Os. ld., by which it is intended to wipe off
incumbrances exceeding 6,0001, a process that can
only be accomplished by meeting with a speculator
who would be willing to invest at the rate of 60 years'
purchase on the rental.
Mr. Grice Richard Smyth appears as a petitioner
for the disposal of his Cork estates, the annual rental
of which is estimated at 3321. 2s. 91.; incum-
brances, principal, 12,9181. 9s. 31., and the in-
terest on arrears of annuity, 3,656/. 14s. ld. Of
course the tail creditors on this property hare
but little chance indeed of their claims being
satisfied unless a total revolution takes place
between this and the period fixed for the sale in the
value of land at this side of the Channel. Two more
extensive properties have just come into the market,
namely, those of Mr. John Grace, in the county of
Westmeath, and of Sir Thomps Staples, Bart., in
Tyrone, Derry, Antrim, and Dublin, both also peti-
tioners as well as owners. The estate of Mr. Grace
is thus particularised :—Property in the county of
Westmeath; annual profit rent, 7391. 9s. 101. and
3531. 16s. 93. ; incumbrances—principal, 43,2001.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S MANIFESTO.

" The Congregated Trades of Limerick" celebrated
the new year by the adoption of the subjoined grandi-
loquent address to Cardinal `Vise►zian, a copy of
which is to be transmitted to "his Eminence."

"TO THE MOST EMINENT NICHOL &S, CARDINAL.

WISEMAN, ARCRBISTIUP OF WESTMINSTER.

"Proud of the restoration of the Catholic hierarschy
in England, and of your exalted position as it. most
honoured head and illustrious ornament, we the Con-
gregated Trades of the city of Limerick, approach your
Eminence with sentiments of the proudest respect and
admiration.

"Limerick has been always foremost in defending the
1 ancient faith—the religion for which saints have suf-
fered and martyrs bled; and now her humble but faith-
ful artisans are proud of the opportunity of testifying to
the world their delight at the appointment of your Emi-
nence as Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster.
" As Irish Roman Catholics, and inhabitants of a city
which has suffered so much in the cause of liberty and of
religion, and who nobly defied the bloodthirsty bigots
of bygone days, we shall never look tamely on and be-
hold in silence our Church enslaved, and the Roman
Catholics of the world insulted by base and bigoted
Ministers, who, true to the principles of their party, only
await an opportunity of proving their undying hatred to
Catholicity, and add more to the many penal laws which
accursed Whiggery has placed on eternal record in the
black annals of English history.
" Your Eminence may feel sincerely assured that we
abhor and detest bigotry in every creed and clime; for
we have always, and ever will, continue to cherish the
noble principle of civil and religious liberty. But
should your holy and Christianlike remonstrances not
succeed in allaying the purple embers of bigoted
malignity which are smouldering within the bosom of
Protestant England, should the reign of Elizabeth be
again revived in this enlightened age, and should the
faithful shepherds of the Gospel be driven from their
flocks, allow us to assure your Eminence, with the most

devoted zeal, that in Ireland, in the country of the per-
-1
by famine and emigration, enough still remains to pro-
c'
our wphoeprue population
tect our faithful and beloved pastors from persecution or
insult.
"Imploring for your Eminence a blessing for your
future guidance, we remain, your humble and devoted
servants, " THE CONGREGATED TRADES."
The Rural Deans of the diocess of Killaloe have
applied to the clergy of their district to address the
Queen on the late Papal aggression ; the Dean of
Kilmacduagh has refused his signature.

EXTENSIVE FIRE.
wxcheipchtedh)asd
IplaOceneino
the last twenty years broke out about midnight on
Saturday, on the extensive premises of the Messrs.
Hutton, the eminent coach-builders, of Summer-hill,
by which, in the course of a few hours, property to
the extent, it is feared, of 30,0001., has been destroyed,
and 150 industrious artisans thrown out, temporarily
at least, of lucrative employment.
" The fire first appeared in the loft adjacent to and
above the forge of the factory, and perhaps the truest, at
least the most feasible, source to which the dreadful re-
sult of yesterday morning Gan be attributed, is the slow
ignition of one of the loft °cams near the forge flue, and
the gradual smuuklering of the ignited tif.nbor until the

fire caught the dry woodwork of the flooring of the loft.
The earliest account of the first exterior avidearance of
the tire is given by Mr. J. ()'Flanagan, who tieppened to
be in the immediate neighbourhood. This gentleman
was passing up Stammer-Lill, on his way homewards, at
about a quarter-past one o'clock yesterday morning,
when on coming near Mr. Button's gate he observed a
pour old woman standing at the doorway of one of the
opposite houses, and looking intently upwards in the
direction of Mr. Hutton's premises. On !mug questioned
she pointed to a smoke and glowing red flame that
seemed growing brighter every moment, and proceeding
evidently from the lofts of the factory. The gentlemen
at once gave the alarm. The fire-bells of the neighbour-
ing churches rang the well known rapid and dismal
notes indicating accident, and in less than a quarter of
an hour the exterior of the factory was surrounded by a
crowd of persons all anxious to be of service, but able to
render none at the time. Meanwhile the flames from
being at first apparently trivial in extent and power, now
broke forth with fearful and lurid brilliancy, showing
the entire of one side of the lofts on fire, Volunteers
had gone off in the first instance for the wa'ercarts, and
they arrived all full of water iu a very short time, consi-
dering the preparations to be made and the distance they
had t come. It r eed scarcely be said that during this
unavoidable delay the fire was gaining ground rapidly;
indeed, so fearfully quick was the progress of the flames
that at the time when the first assistauce arrived the
locality shone with a glare cf intense brightne,s, and
the red haze of the sky over the burning buildings was
seen at the most distant quarter of the city. When
the fletncs were at their highest point, and when the
fire began to spread to the pea of the factory set
apart fur railway coutracts, and filled at the time with
new railway carriages, Mr. Hutton, seeing their safety
almost hopeless, applied to Inspector Stokes, who
succeeded in cutting off the communication between
the burning premise% and the railway carriage factory,
and thus saved many thousand pounds' worth of property.
Whilst sr e :king of the property saved from the flames,
it should be observed that much was owing to the great
courage and almost superhuman exertions of another
individual—a gentleman who happened to hear of the
fire whilst in the vicinity, came up and rendered the
most valuable assistance at a time when all was dismay
and confusion, and when no one—even those most con-
cerned—seemed to retain the power of thinking or act-
ing for themselves; this gentleman (Mr. J. Gaskin) was
recognized in the most hazardous position in the locality
of the burning premises. He obtained from the police-
inspectors the aid of a body of constables, and with
their assistance he forced the doors of the carriage lofts,
aed having muffled his face with a gauz a veil, rind got
the police to tie their handkerchiefs over their mouths in
order to avoid suffocation, he led them through volumes
of smoke and flame, and succeeded in rolling out from
27 to 30 splendid newly-finished carriages, and by means
of an inclined plane of planks bad them safely rescued
from destruction. This daring feat was only effected in
time by Mr. Gaskin, for in 15 minutes atter the names
enveloped the same loft, and the fall of a burning
chimney upon it left it a mass of ruins. The large
store of oils, copal, and other varnishes, paint, &c.,
was removed at an early state of the occurrence, and
this proved to be a fortunate precaution, for had
they been left there can be no doubt that sot a
vestige of any part of the premises or property
would have escaped destruction. The timber stores,
which are detached, also escaped, but all the other parts
of the factory, comprising the vast and extensive 10. s,
with an immense number of costly vehicles in various
stages of completion (some completely finished, and ready
to be hung on their wheels), all the extensive and valu-
able stock of carriage leather, enameled hides, patent
leather, gold lace, cite h, morocco leather, silk fringes and
bindings, tabinets, tabourets, in short, all the magnifi-
cent stock of goods indispensable to the trade of this ex-
tensive and justly favoured establishment—ell have been
consumed to ashes. It would be vain to try to enume-
rate a tithe of the valuable denominations of goods de-
stroyed by this disastrous fire. We may mention the
heavy loss in beautifully cut and ornamented patent
carriage-lamps alone, as amounting to several hundred
pounds" As the flames progressed all hope was aban-
doned of saving the middle building, and the chief at-
tempt was directed to save the adjoining parts of the
factory. Even this was found for a long time imprac-
ticable; so frightfully rapid was the progress of the fire,
and so fierce were the flames, that with ail the exertions
of four engines at one part and of three at another, the
most that could be done was to hold the fire somewhat
in chick. But, after some time, the plan so ably
planned and so daringly carried out by the police
brigade, of cutting off communication between the
burning mass and the rest of the building, at last
succeeded. The flames began to lessen gradually, and
about daybreak the fire was got under. Partial out-
breaks of the fire continued, however, during the entire
of yesterday, and two engines were kept playing on
the smoking ruins till this morning. It is of course im-
possible to calculate now the enormous loss which the
firm of Messrs. Hutton have incurred by this calamitous
fire; but, from estimates made on ascertained grounds
by persons authorised to speak on the subject, we learn
that the computed loss is far beyond 30,0001. The pre-
mises are insured in the National and Patriotic offices
to the amount of 10,000/. only."
