A rule nisi for a new trial was granted in the Court of
Queen's Bench in the case of" Exeter College, Oxford v.

An old Frenchman named Jonas Legrand was brought
up at the Mansion-house, charged with having picked a
lady's pocket of eighteen-pence, and committed for trial.
He had been formerly imprisoned in the Compter for
picking pockets, and had amused himself, while there,
in giving lessons in conveyancing to the younger pri-

pocket. Legrand had made an awful disturbance in the
prison at this breach of " honour among thieves."

DR. WOLFF.

Captain Grover has just received the following
etter from the Rev. Dr. Wolff:—

Meshed, month of Shahan, 23d.

My dear Grover,—Not venturing when at Bokhara
to keep a journal, I have forgotten the date of the
Christian month
After the infamous Nazib Abdool Summut Khan
had forced from me the promise to pay him 6,000
tillas, I should, after all, have been put to death, if
Abbas Kulli Khan, the Persian Ambassador, had not
saved me. lam now arrived in Persia, broken down
in constitution, robbed of everything I had, and with
a debt of 6,000 tilla-s (2,5001.), which I am to pay to

the brother of the Nazib Abduol Sumrtiet Khan, who
is to accompany me to Tehran.
You thought that 4,0001. could be collected for my
purpose ; if you can now assist me in paying the
debt above-mentioned to the infamous Nazib, who
forced the promise from me in his garden, surrounded
by his guards—well. If not, I shall be obliged to
go to prison in Persia. _ _

The King has also sent with me an Ambassador, who
is to go to England ; and the Nazibhas forced me to pro-
mise to pay the expenses of that Ambassador out of the
money he advanced me. That same Ambassador has
excited the Turcomans of Mawr and Sarakhs against
us, i.e., against Abbas Kulli Khan and myself, on our
way to Meshed, and forced Abbas Kulli Khan to pay
him, and the other Ambassador appointed for Penda,
]5O tillas in the midst of the desert !—Yours, affec-
tionately, JOSEPH WOLFF.

Meshed.
The above, though dated from Meshed, was written
at Mostroon. lam now at Meshed, and, two hours
after me, your Ghola►n, Ali Ahmed Beyk, arrived.

.e found me broken down in Mullah Mehdee's house.

I will only add that the Nazib wants only the in-
terest of the above money, to be paid to his son when

of age.
The Ambassador from Bokhara is also here ; be
has letters and presents for the Shah, the Sultan, and
Queen Victoria.
The Nazib has settled with the King that I should
bear the Ambassador's expenses, from the money the
Nazib expects to be paid back.
I am not yet out of danger, but am too confused
to explain all now. Mullah Mehilee will do it for me.
Lieutenant Wyburd has been murdered at Bokhara.
JOSEPH WOLFF.
