PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY, FEB.
COCHRA NE.-Last night arrived off the port, the schooner
Unicorn, 110 tons (late Mr. PERKINS'S yacht) having
Lord COCHRANE on board. His Lordship landed here
this morning, but having infringed on the quarantine Jaws
he went on board again, and is now waiting pratique in
Stokes bay, which it is supposed he will receive by return
of post. His Lordship looks well. He is last from Na-
varin. The Turkish marine is considered as completely
crippled. There is not a Turkish ship to be seen near the
Greek Islands or within the Archipelago. The acts of
cruelty committed by both Greeks and Turks is described
as most shocking to humanity.

ST. PETERSBURGH, JAN. 26.-----Sir H.
WILLocK, Biitish Charge d'Affaires in Persia, and his
Lady, have left St. Petersburgh.

MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY.—The KING'S
printers are at this moment engaged in printing the cere-
monial form of the Noble and Gallant Alarquia's reception
on bis landing, &c.—Dublin Warder.

The Grand Concert at Guildhall, for the
benefit of the Spanish Refugees, took place this morning,
60011 after twelve o'clock. Upwards of 1,500 admission
tickets were issued, and many more, as we understand,
applied for.

Mr. C. WRIGHT's Masquerade, on Monday
night, was fully and fashionably attended; every thing was
got up in the very best style.

FANCY DRESS BALL—NEWCASTLE-UPON-
Tvae.—The Fancy Dress Ball took place at the Assembly
Rooms, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, last Thursday evening.
The total nuirther present was 146 Ladies and Gentlemen.
Now when it is considered that the average number that
attend the Mansion House Ball at Christmas, as well as
the Assize Balls in summer, ranges from 450 to 600, it is
pretty evident that' a mere anonymous advertisement is
vastly prejudicial (and very naturally so) to such public
entertainments in a great commercial town. What is it that
has put down the Winter Assemblies in Newcastle, where,
by the bye, there is one of the grandest suite of rooms in
the kingdom ? Precisely that odious system which some
thirty years ago was the gangrene to social recrea-
tion in a neighbouring city. The determined spirit
of the respeetables, however, who had not their residence
in the college, very soon forced a courtesy where before it
was unknown. A friendly amalgamation succeeded. The
consequence is, that the soirees de dance in the city alluded
to, have long been regarded as the most agreeable evenings
for sociability and enjoyment that are any where to be
met with, either in the north or• the south of England.
Whatever a nameless committee may think of their ma-
nagement, the town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne has a right
and title to other arrangements for public amusements than
what are concocted at a coterie, either in Eldon-square or
Qucen•squarc.—`'EAnuae SAT.
Dr. LUSHINGTON succeeds Sir CHRISTO-
PHER. ROBINSON (the new Judge of the Court of Admi-
ralty) as Judge of the Coosistory Court. The office of
King's Advocate, which was also held by Sir CHRISTO-
PHER, is to he filled, as we have already stated, by Dr.
JENNER.—liforning Paper.

The Lord Chief Justice of the Court of
Common Pleas is, we regret to state, still confined to his
house; and there is no probability of his resuming his ju-
dicial functions for a considerable time. It was indeed
currently reported in Westminster Hall yesterday, that the
Learned Judge had fully resolved to retire, and that ar-
rangements to that effect are on the tapis. It is said that
he will be succeeded in his important office by Sir Nicito-
LAS TINnAL, whose elevation, it is rumoured, will open
tlitway for the appointment of Mr. SID:IDEN to the Soli-
cor- Gene ralsh ip. —Morning Paper.
CLUB DINNER.—The Plymouth
NaQ Club met on Wednesday at the Royal Hotel, to corn-
Meinni:l4, the decisive Battle of St. Domingo, so remarka-
ble for.** capture or destruction of all the enemy's ships
of the linekingaged on the occasion, one of which Le Im-
perials of 120 guns, was said at the time to be the finest
ship that ever took leave of the grand nation.—Liverpool
Telegraph.

A German paper states, that the eldest son of
Prince LicureNsren,- is about to marry a daughter of Sir
HLNAY WELLEsnry, our Ambassador at Vienna. We
believe that this Prince is about the smallosi Sovereign in
Europe. By the treaty of Vienna, the portion of domi-
nion allotted to him, contained, if we remember right, fire
thousand souls and a half.
DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSIN-
ATE.-31r. M—, a gentleman of small fortune, adver-
tised some short time since in the Papers, offering
a donceur of between 500/. and 6001. to any one who
could . procure him an adequate situation. Among
call on him in Red Lion-square, when
numerous other answers, he received one from a person
requesting bins to
he would arrange about the business of the advertisement.
Mr. M---- did so, and NVAS infortneft by the stranger that
a friend of his (a rt):in of influence) could procure a
situation for him on condition of receiving the loan
specified in the advertisement. This was agreed to, and
a second appointment was made at the same place,
which (on the plea that the rich person alluded to
had not been able to attend) was postponed to Thursday,
when the stranger after ushering Mr. into a retired
back room, and ascertaining that he had brought the
money, struck hint violently on the head with a cricket-
but. A desperate struggle ensued, which luckily ended in
the stranger's being overpowered and taken into custody.
On Tuesday a servant to a gentleman at Kir-
kella, was committed from our Guildhall to the Gaol, for
trial at the next Assizes, charged with a rape on ELIZA-
/31.TH WATSON, servant to the Rev. Mr. HAYDON, Inde-
pendent Miuister,—Hull Pachet.
