TRIESTE, JAN. 6.—The Captain of a ship which arrived
yesterday from Constantinople in eleven days, announces that
the Sultan has published a Hatti Sheriff; declaring the Pacha
of Egypt a rebel. The greatest exertions were making to
equip the fleet, and 5,000 Greek seamen had engaged for the
purpose.

An army of 40,000 men was on its march, commanded by
a great personage, who left Constantinople on board a steam-
boat for the Dardanelles, whence he was to proceed, with all
haste, to his destination.

The source from which these accounts are derived must
cause them to be received with some reserve ; however, it ii
generally thought that the I'acha of Egypt will not come to ex
tremities, but will yield to the will of the Porte,

Marsigny, where he sought for and seized the papers and re-
gisters of the St. Sitnonian Society.

Proceedings are instituted by the Attorney-General against
the Society on four points, respecting which the principal Mem-
bers will have to give explanations to-morrow before the Juge

DEATH of CHARLES GREENWOOD, Esq.
AT THE PAVILION, AT BRIGHTON.

Intelligence has just arrived in town of the death of Charles
Greenwood, Esq., of the well known firm of Cox and Green-
wood, the army agents and bankers, in Craig's-court, Charing_
cross. Mr. Greenwood had been for the last week on a visit to
their Majesties, at the Pavilion, at Brighton ; and, although at
the advanced age of eighty-four years, he appeared to be in
the enjoyment of excellent health. During yesterday he took an
airing with their Majesties for nearly two hours, and seemed in
high spirits. A dinner was given in the evening, at which were
present the King and Queen, Sir Herbert Taylor, and Mr.
Greenwood. The latter sat next to Sir Herbert ; and suddenly
placing his hand upon his forehead, exclaimed " Oh my head,"
and appeared to be indisposed. Sir Herbert Taylor jumped up
to assist him, when the unfortunate gentleman fell in his
arms and instantly expired. Their Majesties, as might be
expected, became terribly alarmed. The medical gentlemen
in attendance on the Royal family immediately came to the
assistance of Mr. G., and resorted to every means that their
medical skill could devise to restore animation, but every effort
failed, as the vital spark had fled. Mr. Greenwood had for a
number of years the honour of the friendship of all the Royal
family, and was the bosom friend of the late Duke of York.
The body will remain at the Pavilion until after the Coroner's
Inquest. The Queen has been indisposed since the melan-
choly' event.

morning, between the chiefs of two rival clans of
Gshwornen.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he wished the ladies had
settled their dispute at Billingsgate, instead of end-
ing their differences in a more civilised part of the
metropolis.
They were unable to find the required sureties,
and were committed to prison.

PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.

(Extract from the Correspondence of a Morning Paper.)
PARIS, JAN. 221.

SlR,—This is the anniversary of the death of
Louis XVI. I have no apology to offer for the
Convention ! I would rather have been Male-
sberbes than Vergulaud—and I should have
loathed at pronouncing the words, " I declare,
in the name of the Convention, that the punish-
ment it decides against Louis Capet is death."—
But whence would have arisen this repugnance ?
Because Louis Capet was a King? No. Be-
cause he was not guilty of treason against his
people ; against the French nation ? No ; for
he was guilty. But I should not have dared to
pronounce the penalty of death, when out of an
assembly of 721 voters, there was only a majority
of 26 in favour of capital punishment. To vote
away the life of a human being, however cul-
pable, by a majority, is a crime. Unanimity
would, in my eyes, be no justification, as all
capital punishments are murders. " Laws are
framed only by means of a simple majority," ex-
claimed a besotted Mountainist on the trial of
Louis XVI.; but there was a voice which re-
plied to him, " But decrees may be reformed,
and the life of a man can never be recalled."—
That man was not less patriotic than the Moun-
tainist, and he was ten thousaHd times more
humane, civilized, moral, philosophical, enlight-
ened, and religious. How my soul has sickened as
I have lately read the deplorable accounts of your
Bristol and Nottingham Commissions. History
will acquit Brereton, and the executions at the
former city will be viewed by our grandchildren
with the same abhorrence as the martyrdoms in
Smithfield. The bloody Criminal Code of
England, notwithstanding all its recent improve-
ments, is a disgrace to the nineteenth century.
Let us hope that a Reformed Parliament will
begin by reforming the laws. Great Britain is
called a land of " Bibles, Tracts, and Missions,"
and yet the people assemble in thousands to
witness the public death of a criminal ! First,
then, render the population humane and civi-
lized before you export Bibles ; and labour by
night and by day to follow up the benevolent
and virtuous desires of your immortal Romilly,
who strove to clear the statute-book from such
laws of blood. Oh ! if the people of England
did but know one-thousandth part of what is
said and thought throughout civilized Europe of
these periodical executions in London, and at the
country Assizes, I cannot but think they would
demand the abolition of capital punishments with
the same unanimity and energy as they now dis-
play for a Reform i❑ Parliament. On a recent
occasion, at a town in France, when a man, a
criminal, deserving solitary imprisonment for
life, was ordered to be executed, on the morning
of the day all the shops and houses were closed,
the streets were deserted, and no one assisted at
the execution but the public executioner and
officers of justice. This was enlightened, hu-
mane, Christian, and noble conduct. " Go thou
and do like wise."

ELLIOTT'S LETTERS FROM THE NORTH
01 EUROPE.—The author of the present volume is one of
the very Jew tourists who carry us with them in all their
peregrinations. He does not content himself with telling
us what he has seen ;he makes us see it too. His de-
scriptions are vivid, his language is concise, and he excites
the interest of his readers by that which he himself takes
in the subject. Tiers is no part of the work that may
not be read with pleasure ; his route through the Nether
lands, Sweden, Norway, Finland, &c. brings the manners
and customs of their inhabitants, and the adventures he
met with, as it were, present to our senses. A view of the
Winter palace at St. Petersburgh is prefixed to the work.

BELGIUM.

The Duke of WELLINGTON gave notice, that on
Friday next he would move for a copy of the correspon-
dence between the Foreign Secretary and the British Am.
bassador in Paris and the French Government, in October
and November, 1830, relative to the affairs of Belgium.
His object was to show that the account given by M. Pe-
rier relative to the interference of France in those affairs
was unjust to the ether Powers, and contrary to fact.
Lord CLONCURRY said he was authorised by an
Hon. Member of an Irish county, who had been repre-
sented by the Earl of Wicklow as having instigated his
tenantry to resist the payment of tithes, to declare that the
assertion was wholly unfounded.
The Earl of WICKLOW said his statement was founded
upon the affidavits of alleged eye-witnesses.
Lord PLUNKET had fully inquired into the transac-
tion, and was convinced that the statement of the Noble
Earl was wholly unfounded.
The Earl of WICKLOW was proceeding to enter upon
an explanation of the matter referred to (which we guess
to be Mr. Blackney's conduct at a meeting of the county
of Carlow, of which he is a representative), when he was
interrupted by cries of " Order," there being no motion
before the House, and it being irregular to found discus-
sions on statements of what might have happened
elsewhere.

HEATON AND THOMAS.

(RECEIVED THIS MORNING.)
LANCASTER, MARCH 12.—0 n Sunday morning the pri-
soners attended divine service, and behaved in an orderly man-
ner becoming their awful situation. After the sermon, the
culprit Thomas became much softened in his manners, and
confessed to Mr. Rowley that he was the guilty person, though
without entering into particulars. During the day and the
crimes they had committed, and acknowledged the justness of
following night both evinced great penitence for the horrid
their sentence. About eight o'clock, the solemn tolling of the
bell of St. Mary's, announced that the time was come for the
wretched men to expiate their offence, and the dreadfnl appa-
ratus of death being quite in readiness, they were brought to
the scaffold pinioned. Heaton came up first, and as soon as
Thomas appeared, they shook each other by the hand, but no i
words or conversation passed between them. Heaton, who
upon his trial appeared to be a muscular and athletic man,
could scarcely be recognised, his frame was so much sunk, and
he seemed as if a few more days of mental agony would have
ed
the execution unnecessary. Thomas was but little
,altered in his appearance. The ropes being adjusted, and the
caps pulled over their faces, the Reverend Chaplain made an
impressive
prayer, amidst which the bolt was drawn, and the
miserable men, in a few minutes, ceased to exist. Thomas
struggled a little, but Heaton died almost instantaneously.
After the bodies had hung, as an example for evil-doers, for
the space of one hour, they were removed to the gaol, to be
delivered over to the surgeons for dissection. It is understood
that one body will be removed for the benefit of the anatomical
science of Liverpool, and the other to Warrington. Heaton, in
the course of Sunday, said that he did not strike the deceased
from before, but behind--the surgeon was of opinion upon the
trial that the blow was struck from behind; he also denied that
the officer Davis had spoken correctly in having compared the
shoes with the marks in the soil, for he said, that in order to
have his victim more secure, he crept behind him without his
shOeti,

40CIETY FOR PREVENTING CRUELTY

TO ANIMALS.7-(THIS DAY).

A public meeting was held to.day, at Exeter. hall, consist.,

ing of the friends of the Society for preventing Cruelty to
Animals. The chief object for which the meeting was called
was to take into consideration a Bill, which had been intro-
duced into the Home of Commons, by Mr. 3PKinnon, M.P.,
for the more effectually preventing cruelty to the animal creation.
London, England, 1832-03-14

At half-past one o'clock Lord Viscount MAHON took the

Chair. The Noble Lord, on taking his seat, congratulated the .
friends of the Society on seeing such a numerous and respect.
able attendance. But he regretted that an unavoidable absence ,
from town had caused the absence of a person far better qua.
lified to preside on this occasion, viz., Lord Porchester.—
That ncble Lord had, however, sent him (Lord Mahon) a letter,
(whiCh he read) stating the great interest he took in the pro,
eeedings of the society, and reearrithending the most earnest
support being given to Mr. WKintidn's Bill. The
Noble Chairman also had to deplore the absence of another
member, Mr. Pusey—owing to a family afilictio». He
had now to communicate some good news to the
meeting. A friend to the society had written to
him to state that he had authorized his broker to invest 109/.
Three per Cent. Consols in Mr. M'Kinnon's name, the interest
of which was to be applied in rewarding persons who might
appear to the Committee to deserve it.—(Applause.) The
name of the benevolent donor was Robert Batson,
Esq.—(Applause.) He had alsd th . announce that Dr.
John Gardner, of Green Cottage, Stoke Newington,
had presented the society with a manuscript copy of his treat-
ment of the horse, requesting the society to publish it, and to
appropriate the proceeds in furtherance of the objects of the so.

nevolent purposes for which the society was instituted would tend
Very Much to refine the character of the uneducated classes, and
any Bill which had for its object such a plan, must be viewed ,
with great satisfaction.—(Cheers.) He intreated the meeting
not at once to insist on all that was consonant with their own
ideas of right and wrong, but to receive whatever measure t.
might further their objects, which they could most easily obtain.
He was therefore most anxious that they should approve of
Mr. 111‘Kinnon's Bill, and trust to time and reason, as well as
to their own exertions for any thing further that they could
obtain at a future period. Should the meeting think the pro-
visions of the Bill were capable of further extension, in making
them extend to what were called recreations and field sports,
that they would be careful how they urged their opinions for.
ward, for fear they might hazard the success of a measure -
which had been so ably and so patriotically brought forward by
Mr. M`Kinison,—(Loud cheers.)
The business was proceeding when our retorter left.

A private express has arrived from Paris, but up to the pre-

the Funds are not so good as in the early part of the morning,

A few days ago, Mr. Jeremy Bentham gave
an entertainment at his mansion, in Queen.square-place, to M.
Sismondi, the Historian of the Italian Republics, who, after a
visit of some days to this country, was preparing to embark for
the Continent, when he came to town, to avail himself of an
opportunity of visiting the philosopher. M. Sismondi, after
having visited several persons of intellectual distinction in this
country, has returned to Geneva.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Not-
withstanding the unfavourable state of the weather for outdoor
recreations, these Gardens have attracted a numerous and fa-
shionable assemblage of visitors. Upwards of 4,000 visited
them during the past month. Several recent arrivals have
been added to the collection—a fine Gnu antelope from the Cape
of Good Hope, a new species of paradoxure, and several fine
specimens of the psittaeus tribe. The building of the monkeys
is finished, and heated by hot water apparatus, and these ani-
mals now gambol, enjoying the temperature of their native
climate.

SIR RALPH EsH ER.—The hero of this
piquant work is a courtier in the reign of the second Charles ;
and in this autobiagraphy he introduces the principal characters
of his royal master's brilliant and gay circle, including the
debut of Nell Gwynn, with whom the reader is made ac-
quainted almost from childhood. There arc passages, too, of
graver interest, such as a naval battle with the Dutch, which
is told in a novel and striking style; the great Fire of London ;
And, above all, its great Plague—a theme which the arrival of
simiLa and almost equally formidable foe has rendered fear.
nilly attractive. On the whole, few works have afforded us
more entertainment than these " Adventures of a Gentleman
of the Court of Charles the Second,"

COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning a Court was held for the despatch of city
business, being the first that has been convened since the
last election for Common Councilmen, on St. Thomas's
day. The LORD MAYOR. took the chair at twelve o'clock.
Among the motions which were fixed for discussion
to-day was one that the city solicitor la directed to make
a report of the whole of the proceedings in the matter of
the Court of Aldermen, and Mr. Michael Scales, to a
special Committee appointed by this Court, and that the
Committee he appointed to enquire and to report whether
in any, and what respects the judzment of the Cour;
of King's Bench may affect the rights of the citizens of
Loudon.

TrIE NEW LONDON RRII)OF.

Mr. JONES, the chairman of the London Bridge Corn-
mittee, presented a report from the Committee, in which
it was recommended that a further sum of 50,0001. should
be borrowed from the Bank of England, for carrying into
effect the Acts of Parliament as regards the approaches.
The report was agreed to, and the city seal was or-
dered to be fixed to a bond for that purpose.
A petition was presented from the inhabitants of
Cripplegate within, very numerously signed, expressing a
hope that measures would be taken by the Court to up-
hold the dignity of the Court and the privileges of the
city, by adopting steps by which men of property should
be returned to the Court.
Mr. TAYLOR thought the arguments introduced into
the petition ought to have been mooted at the Wardmote.
Alderman WOOD, Mr. STEVENS, and other members
addressed the Court upon the subject.
The Court was left in discussion upon the matter.

NATIONAL POLITICAL UNION.

The weekly meeting of the Council of this Union was
held last night at their rooms in Leicester-square, and was
respectably and very numerously attended.

Mr. THOMAS BOWYER. was in the chair.

Mr. GEORGE ROGERS moved that the reading-room of
the Council should be opened to the members of the Union
from two to ten o'clock p. m. on every Sunday.

Mr. PERRY seconded the motion.

Mr. LANE warmly opposed it, because he considered it
an infraction of that law of God which desires us not to
do our own work on the Sabbath day. He considered poli-
tical pursuits on that day were inimical to religious feelings.
Mr. DETROSIER supported the motion in an animated
speech, and contended from the same Scriptures that the
Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath ; and
contended that the best way of promoting piety was pro-
moting knowledge.
The Rev. Mr. Fox considered that all had the same
end in pursuit, though they differed in the means. He
considered all had a right to take advantage who might
choose; but the object of the present motion was, that all
may who will attend. The liberty of reading could not
be withheld from any individual in his ow❑ library what
he pleased, and why should a society of individuals be re-
stricted in public from exercising that right which they
enjoyed and exercised in private ?
Mr. PLACE considered the motion in strict conformity
with the rules of the Union—to ameliorate the condition
of the working classes, and diffuse sound knowledge and
moral information. He therefore could see no reasonable
objection. It knight do much good, and could do little
harm. He himself had received most of his political in•
formation at a similar time from a similar source.

The motion passed unanimously.
Mr. C. THOMAS proposed an address to his Majesty, re-
questing he would exert his prerogative of mercy in behalf
of the unfortunate men who have been condemned at
Bristol and Nottingham. Death, as a punishment for po-
litical offences, he severely condemned ; and when exerted
in the present instances, he considered aki❑ to murder.
The men were unfortunately made victims to the obsti-
nacy of others, or the fervour of their own political prin-
ciples. He considered them sacrificed to political expe-
diency ; and as the Judges at both places avowed, that as
the worst characters in the affair could not be found, they
were bound to condemn the worst that could be found.
Messrs. Drake, Detrosier, Taylor, and Fox, followed in
support of the petition. Mr. Thomas Murphy also spoke
at considerable length.
The address was agreed to, subject to the revision of the
Committee of the Council, and ordered to be signed by as
mAny as possible of the Union.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.)

THE KING V. THE. INHABITANTS OF THE FARM cr.

CALYERWILL, IN YORKSHIRE.
This was an indictment against the defendants for not
repairing a road, and was tried before Mr. Justice Little-
dale at York, when a point of law was raised for the opi-
nion of the Court. The road in question extended eleven
and a half miles, and it was male by the Commissioners,
in pursuanctt of an Act of Parliament passed on the 2d of
1825 ; but the whole line of road contempt ted
by the Act had never been completed. The inhabitants
of the parish of Culverwell resisted the demand for re-
pairing that part of it, which was within the parish, on
the ground that they were not legally responsible for re-
pairing a road which had never been completed.
In support of the indictment it was submitted, as the
public used the road, although it was unfinished, the in-
habitants were bound to keep it in repair.
Their Lordships delivered their judgment seriatim
They ware of opinion, that the obtaining an Act of Par-
liament for making a road to an extent therein named,
implied an undertaking to carry the Act into effect, and
therefore, as the Act had not been in this instance complied
with, the Commissioners had no power to call upon the
inhabitants to support the road.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, addressing the bar, said the
Judges of this Court, and those of the Courts of Common
Pleas and Exchequer, had conferred together, and agreed
to a set of rules which should in future guide and assimi-
late the practice of the three Courts, so as to make their
proceedings uniform. The rules were not those of one
Court only, but were taken, sorte from one Court, and
some from another, but assimilating the practice of the
three Courts.
The Registrar then read the rules, which were of very
great length, and which will be immediately printed. It is
confidently expected that great benefit will be derived
from them particularly, as regards some of the greatest ob-
jections to the present system.—The proceedings of all
the Courts will be much simplified, and much delay and
expence will be prevented.
The rules are to take effect from the Ist day of Easter
Term.

THE GLOVE TRADE.

Mr. CRANIPTON presented a petition from certain
glove-manufacturers in the town of Milhorne Port, Somer-
setshire, complaining of the flee importation of French
gloves, and stating the distress to which the trade was in
consequence reduced.

Mr HUNT observed that the distress in the glove
trade in Worcester, Woodstock, and Yeovil, was very
great. He was sorry that the Members fur the former
places were not present.
Mr. HUME denied that the distress in the glove trade
was attributed to the removal of the prohibition. All
other branches of manufacture were equally distressed, but
it was absurd to suppose it was the result of the free trade
system.
After a few words from Mr. WAttauaxolsr, Sir R.
VYYYAN and Mr. SaNnvoan,
Mr. S. RICE said he had had the honour of receiving
a deputation of glove-manufacturers, who stated the
difficulties under which that trade laboured, and un-
doubtedly from all that they suggested they proposed no
plan that could remove those difficulties unless the sys-
tem was again re,orted to. He had hoped the name of
the word prohibition was for ever banished from our com-
mercial code of this country—(Hear, hear)--and he was
sure that it would be impolitic to resort to it in this ease.
Even if it were resorted to, would it put down smuggling?
He was sure no person who paid any attention to these
matters would answer in the affirmative. The deputation
suggested that licences should be granted as a means of
preventing smuggling, but great pains wet.. taken to con-
vince them that th it mode would but increase the diffi-
culties at present existing. They also proposed that
gloves should be stamped, but then by at any
time forging the stamp every facility would be afforded
to injure the fair trader.—(Hear.) His Majesty's Go-
vernment had every disposition to remedy the evils if they
could do so, but the result of the conference with the de-
putation was, that nothing which they suggested would
operate as a remedy.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY, so far from believing that
4d, a large re.
the evils complained of arose out of the flee trade system,
said he would tell the hard working and industrious poor
that there were but three retnedies,. and thosei wert_ht,
