good faith of Russia, and as 1/4mal.ing the ht-t
trial of its strength, as if doe existence of the
Turkish Einplll aas at stake.. The provinces of
Walachia and Moldavia are covered by a vast
force of Asiatic Turks, and an army of reserve
is advancing to the Danube, to cover the second
line. The foreign journals, in general, are en-
titled but to a very cautious and qualified re-
liance. There is one fact, however, which slims
that Russia is the quarter whence danger is chiefly
apprehended by the Porte, and against which all
the .energies of the Divan are directed. It is the
feeble attempt made to subjugate or resist the
insurrection in Greece. No serious or really de-
termined effort has been made in Greece. The
Turks have contented themselves with retaining
possession of the strong places in theMorea; and not-
withstanding the advantages which have certainly
been obtained by the Greeks, they are still in
possession of the principal fortified towns. Some
doubts are thrown, by recent accounts, upon the
taking of Tripolitza ; and it is but too {notable
that both that place and Salonichi were still in
Use hands of the Turks.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
Mr. Brougham yesterday brought before the
Court of King's ,Beach a transaction of the Bridge-
street Association, which marks so strongly the,'
mischievous spirit of that Society, that we think it
right to point public attention to it in an emphatic
manner. A. man of the name of Ridgway was
indicted by the Society at the last Assizes in
Lancaster, for having sold a blasphemous and
seditious libel, entitled, " A New Year's Ad-
dress to the Reformers of England." The in-
former in this case was -a youth of about eighteen
years of age, named Evan Mellor, who was a
clerk to sue Nadin, at attorney in the town of
Manchester. Tice time of Nadin is no doubt
well known to the public; it obtained a noto-
riety of no very flattering kind on the melancholy
occasion of the wanton attack upon the people on
the 16th of Aug. at Manchester; but the Elder
Nadin, who was then so distinguished—" the
thief-taker," as Mr. Brougham yesterday call-
ad him, is not the master of the unfortunate
young candidate for notoriety. That person has,
since the memorable affair at Manchester, retired
from practice, and, as the informer (Mellor) said,
on ltidgway's trial, lives now " as a country
gentleman." The business, in the mean time, is
conducted by Nadia the younger, and the con-
duct of his clerk in this case shews that he is
likely to rival his father in zeal as well as in
ability. He, too, will probably, at no great dis-
tance of time, assume the honoured character of
an English " country gentleman," and present
to an admiring nation another instance of Minis-
terial gratitude.

[NEW TIMES.]
The manner in which both The Times and
Chronicle speak of the Constitutional Association
is a perfect disgrace to the Press. it has hap-
pened that Mr. Sharp, the Honorary Assistant
Secretary, has been attacked, by name, with
great scurrility, in various newspapers. He
has preferred an indictment for one of the
libels against The nmes, and the bill has been
found. For the same libel, contained in " The
News," another Grand Jury (from motives which
we do not pretend to fathom) threw out the
bill. Hereupon the Editor of The News makes
another and a still more virulent attack on Mr.
Sharp, who, by the advice of his Counsel, re-
solves, as he has certainly a full right to do, to
prefer another indictment. In the whole of these
proceedings there is not a trace of any interference
by the Constitutional Association : and it is very
clear that without abandoning the very first
principles of the institution they could not
interfere in it. They undertook, at their
very first foundation, to proceed against se-
ditious libels only : and they have rendered
an invaluable service to their country by pur-
suing the path which they had traced out for
themselves. Such being the case, we desire,
on the part of the public, to know why both The
Times and Chronicle, in speaking of an application
made last Saturday to the Magistrates at Bow-
street by Mr. Sharp's Solicitor, hare thought fit to
insinuate that it was a proceeding in which the Con-
stitutional Association were concerned? Why does
!'he Chronicle head its Bow-street article "The
Constitutional Association?" Upon what authority
does the Editor assert that " the funds" of the
Association are applied to Mr. Sharp's proceed-
ings against Mr. Phipps ? If there be the least
foundation for these insinuations, let it be dis-
tinctly stated ; but if no such statement can be
made, it will be for the public to form its own
opinion of the conduct of the Papers in question.

SHOCKING ACCIDk:NTS.-YesterdiTy afternoon,
about one o'clock, a little girl, about two years
and a half old, named Jane Morris, who was
placed out to nurse by its mother, a servant in a
nobleman's family to a woman in New Compton-

street, St. Wles's, strayed from the door of the
house, and the poor nurse was running about the
streets in a state of despair in search of it, when
she was met in the street by another woman,'
who was hastening to tell her that the poor infant,
had strayed into Dean-street, Oxford-street, and
in crossing the road, slipped down, when'a coal
waggon was passing at the time, and the fore
wheel passed over her chest before the waggoner
could stop the horses. The infant was taken to
the hospital, and died soon after. The body
now lies for an inquest.—On Tuesday even-
ing a frightful accident happened in the
menagerie exhibiting at the bottom of Leith-
walk. A working man, with a child in his arms,
was, among other spectators, admiring a fine
zebra, whose cage is next to that of one of the
lions. The latter animal, with one of his paws,
made a snatch at the child, and pulling it out of
its father's arms, got its head within the bars of
his cage.—The poor man, on perceiving the dan-
ger of his infant) fainted away. Some of the by.
standers instantly attacked the ferocious brute
with sticks, and succeeded in rescuing his in-
tended victim, but not before the poor child was
dreadfully lacerated about the head and face.
Some nights previous, a lady, incautiously stand-
ing too close to the same animal's cage, had a
shawl torn from her shoulders, but fortunately
sustained no personal injury.
