By this Account Mr. Bell was surprised to tind himself de.
lined in the sum of 404, ea a deposit on ten shares in the
Equitable Tea
,Agener Company, Mr. (Mondry hating in-
creased the deposit from to M. per share, and }loving re-
eeived 10/. in the first initance, the only depositpledg,tl in the
name ~f the Directors to be r,:quireil. Li consequence of Mr.
Counary not 'giving any satisfactory reply, Mr. Bell trans-
mined the whole cOrrespondence to London, in order to obtain
lcgol advice on the sukiect ; and the papers being pieced in
r. Totriatio's hands, that gentletnan, on the 10th'ult., wrote
to Mr. (huttary, anti idso to the only Director whoss residence
he could discover, stating, 'that unless Mr. Bell's' demand' wile
instantly' a m
public exposure would be ade of the
whole trawiertion, owl such other prkiecetlings adopted as might
he deetnedmost advisable,
51r. 'Jr'r( iono was proceeding-to call further evidence rela-
tire to the clgirge or obtaining the sum of 921.; lint's eonsisl-

chief clerk, fiix Lordship advised Mr. Torriano to confine 'him-
self to the proof Of Clie Of two Chtlrgett which Arose or the
case. By proceeding on that for obtaining 10/., iinder the pre.
tent cif the existence of a co;npany, he'would not; of course,
abandon the other charge.
Mr. Torriano then, tor the present, abandoned the charge as
, to the misapplication a the soniuf !TV. 25., and said, that, if
he could make it-appear that Mr'. Coundry hada by false pre.
tences, perstiatied Mr. Bell to beinitne the purchaser of shores
in a company which never had any existence, rind in Order to
colour the delusion, had stated the share list to Ire' full, and
then transmitted shares numbered variously, front 0;000 to
0,000, and upwards ; Oen, in fitet, it could be made appear,
from the evidence of the printer, that only'l,ooo had been ever
printed, or could have been in circulation. Air. Torriano sub-
mitted that in this event (laying. the residue of the charge sable
liar the moment) hiS elicht was entitled to his-Lordship's inter-
ft.tance and protection, and that I%lr. (lotindry ought to be held
to nail for the tnisdemennor.
Mr. Bell then deposed to the purchase of ten shares from
Mr. (Mondry, on the representation that n company watt in
existence, of which he was the Nlanaging Director. Ile would
not, or course, have purchased, had he been aware that no such
company existed; lie paid 10/. for the shares.' !le had never

FR,ENCIL PAPERS.
(Pram the Doile, dated nureday, March 304
-CONSTANTINOPLE, FED. 25.—1 t is affirmed
that Lord Cochrane has arrived at Zante, but the
Franks do not believe it. Mr. Stratford Canning
is not yet come; it is supposed that the delay is
intentional, he order to wait for the issue of cer-
tain negociations. It is true that .the continuance
of the north winds may be alleged as detaining
him at the Dardanelles, but then he might seine
by land.
Sir Hudson Lowe has for SOW time attracted
the attention of - the • Fronk, and even of the
Turks, at Pero.
'Time Greeks have done _nothing in the Morea
tied Poona ; they have beaten the Turkish fleet
be.fore Missolonghi, but failed in their chief ob-
ject of throwing supplies into that,place. Ibra-
him was making every preparation for an attack
at the beginning of the month. 'rime Seraskier
was obliged to give up to hint the command of the
siege on his return, after which he set out for
Solana, where he obtained some advantages.
Coney, Fru. 242.—There has been another en.
gagernent between the Greek fleet and the Cap-
tain Pectin. Captain Spencer, 'commanding the
Wad, who was witness to the engagement, says,
that from the inexperience of the Turks, who
were the most numerous, time Greeks obtained a
slight advantage. At the close of the 'battle, the
command wars taken from the Captain
who was to go to Constantinople before he took
the road to Janina. Ibrahim has again sum-
moned Missolonghi ; but all his proposals have
been rejected by thi; defenders of the place,
Which has been again supplied with provisions.
There is no truth in all that is said of other
advantages obtained-by the Greeks. The diseases
cruised by the climate, and the inclemency of the
.season, make great havoc in the Egyptian army,
and compel it to remain inactive. The dissen-
sions ornommg the Greeks continue, and, are, as
they have hitherto been, the chief obstacle to the
success of their cause.
PANS, MARCH 20,-•-We have received letters
from Constantinople, of the-26th February.
By an order of the Porte, all evil-minded per-
son, are seized, and sent on board the men of
war fitting out in this port. They ore chained
there by one leg, and each of then. receives 200
piastres to provide himself with necessaries be-
fore the squadron sails.
The Greeks, it is said, have attempted to burn
the Ottoman fleet near Lepanto ; but the Captain
Dacha was on his guard, and dispersed the
Greeks. One Turkish frigate only run aground
on the coast. It is added, that an English ship,
attempting to enter Missolongid with provisions,
was vigorously repulsed by the Turks. Colonel
Fahvier has lit, ;nn his expedition against Gulmea.
'The arrival of fiord Cochrane in the lonian
Ishmds is pok en of, null the Mussulmen are
much alarmed at it.
Within the lust fortnight, there have been fre-
quent tires at Constantinople ; none of them has
been considerable.
Letters from POtras of the 10th February give
serious apprehensions respecting the movements
of the. Greeks in the Morea. They speak of the
danger of Tripoli7.za, but without ally details of
what the Greeks have undertaken. These same
Jotters represent the state of the Ottoman fleet
at very unfavourable, and give reason to doubt
of a good understanding between Ibrahim and
,the Captain Nebo.
The' heeds end ears sent from Salons to Con-
, stantinople have been placed in the first court'of
the Seraglio, with to yaftn, stating that they are
sent by aetischid Paella, being the fruits of an
..ettpedition against the rebels in Carlieli, who
were defeated and dispersed. The MaSSUlratill
army returned loaded with booty, after taking
140 heads and ears, and 40,000 sheep.
Mr. S. Canning is expected every hour. The
south witld is set in, and he cannot be far from
.Constantinople.

(From the POW if Wrinesday.)
_Nuys, M A not s from Vienna, of
the 17th, announce, that Colonel Selves, in the
service of the Pacha of Egypt, and Governor of
Tripolizza, has surrentlettll at discretion to the
Greek Corps, cotootamied by Colocotroni.
it is said, that the English Government is going
to send 2,500 men to Portugal, v ho will b'e at

It is said, that by a new treaty between France

There may be some foundation for this re.
port ; for, in the present circumstances, and
especially at a time when fresh conspiracies
are brought to light, the occupation of these
places hy, our troops is too important u cheek
upon insurrection for Fel dittund to consent to
part with them. It cannot ha denied that tha
presence of the French in Spain averts great mis-
fortunes. It is said, that orders lately, received
from Madrid at Barcelona prohibit the issue of
Kay toms from the Treasury beyond what is ab-
solutely necessary, in order to pay as soots as

DREADFUL SUICIDE.

Yesterday evening, at 7 o'clock, Mr. Jima
the Coroner 'for -Westminster, und. a Jury of very respectable
tradesmen, assembled at. the Salmationstavern, Tatestocise
street, Covent-garden, to inquire into the causeatf the death of
Charles Penny, aged 10, theaton of Mr. Penny, stay-maker,
of the above street.- k apOeared, that about 1 or 8 o'clock
yesterday morning, the neighbourhood was Manned by the report
of a pistol, and the breaking of the glass of the windows both in
Mr. Penny's house and in the opposite house of Mr. Stria,-
An immediate inquiry took place, when it was discovered that
young Penny had shot himself with a large holster pistol ; and,
strange as it may appear, the pistol, after being discharged, had
bounded from the youth's hand. and passing through a square of
glass, crossed the road, a diatance atilt feet, and bounding against
the window-frame of Mr.. Sniith's houses the lock separated.
from the pistol and went into the room, and the pistol tell into
the street. The first witness who: was examined was Mr.
'Sniith. Ile said, my house is opposite to that of the father of
the deceased ; about hi:My:let %even o'clock thiS Morning, my
'servant informed me that. Nome of the windows in the bed-
room had that moment been broken; I went into the street
to ascertain the cause, and in the . repel I found 3 111:401 ;
picked it up ; It appeared to have been recently dimeharg-
ed. I went up into my room, and found that tour of the
squares of glays were shivered, and in the further comer of
the room 'Sound the lock of the pistol. .On looking abOut
to endeavour to ascertain the cause, I discovered that a square
Was also broken in Mr. Penny's attic window; I then
thought the pistol might have, been tired by
.some mis-
chievousboy, and I went over the way; I saw Mrs: Penny;
told her what had occurred ; she was much 'surprised, and sent
the boy up stairs, and he brought down word that Charles (the
deceased) hsd shot himself; I then went up stairs to the room
door, but finding it fastened in the inside, I entered by the win.
dow, and in the morn I found the deceased lying on his back
on the bed ; he was dressed; there was a large wound in the
pit of' the stomach, and.. on account of the deceased falling on
his back immediately.ufter the shot was fired, I apprehend that
he bled. inwardly.. Mr. Smith added, that he found no ramrod
in the room, and he was of opinion that the wound might have
been eaueed by accident ; for instance, It the deceased had been
forcing the charge. into the pistol, and had Incised the ramrod
against his stomach, it was possible that it might have dis,
charged by accident. lie knew that rooks were frequently seen
atahe back pliant' the house, and, that Mr..Pently had tired at
them himself; it was, therefore, passible, that the deceased was
desirous of shooting one of them. If he had placed the pistol
to his stomach to ram down the charge, time deceased might have
held it in that position, that upon'being fired ow, it would force
itself through the single square of glass.
Mr. John Cole, a surgeon, of treat Ilussell-street, said he,
was sent for about. eight o'clock in the morning ; he found the
deceased lying on the bed', in the position he would have been'
if he had been :sitting On the bed, aril fell backwards. There
was a large gun shot wound in the pit of the stomach, three
inches in length, and two in width. The ball had pressed
through the body, and came out at the back ; he was quite
dead. The parts about the wound were signed with gunpowder.
John 'Paling, a workman, employed by Mr. Penny, slid he
was engaged at work in the back room adjoining-that in which
the dee:wed slept. About a quarter before seven, yesterday
morning, the deceased came into that morn, and washed him-
self. He appeared not so cheerful as he used to be ; he asked
all the men how they were, and, on quitting the room, he
wished them a good morning. Shortly after he (witness) heard
a noise, as if something heavy had fallen down, anti thinking
it was occasioned by the removal of some lumber in the loft
above, did not take any notice of it. The boy shortly after told
them of the windows being broken. The door being fastened
on the inside, he anti Mr. Smith entered by the window. The
witness added, that rooks haunted the back of' the house, and
several of them had been sloit by Mr. Penny. lie bad observ-
