[NEW TIMES.]

There was much speculation yesterday in the
Funds, but after some fluctuation, Consols for
Account left off at 78, buyers. The accounts front
Odessa were entirely in favour of Peace. The
French Funds, it appears, have experienced a
slight depression, but were by the last accounts SO:
70. It Is probable that this slight fall may have
arisen from the rumours of a change in the French
Cab!net ; since all political changes are usually
preceded by a fall of the Stocks. The King's Speech
was cautiously worded, and betrayed no small
doubt on the part of the Ministers, as to the footing
on which they stood. The general impression seems
to be that M. Pasquier must give place to M. De
Villele, whose talents, moderation, and firmness
are universally known and acknowledged. M.
De Villele has acted as Leader of the Royalists
in the Chamber of Deputies ever since. 1815,
and there is nothing but his loyalty that can be
objected. against him as a Minister ; but that has
hitherto been regarded in France as a very seri-
-OU4 objection. We have seen Revolutionists of
all colours and of all classes seated in the Cabi-
net of his Most Christian Majesty ; but the 1-Am-
non-tenon of a Royalist Administration has never
yet appeared. The result of the late Elections,
however, ha's been so unequivocally in favour of
the Royalists, that we conceive they must even-
tually attain that influence in the National Coun-
cils which common sense and reason teach us is
their due.

THE TIMES.]
The friends of humanity are shocked at the
continuance of the sanguinary contest between
the Turks and the Greeks : the present suffering
of fellow creatures must always give pain to sen-
sible minds : there are, however, many sharp
remedies, the application of which is necessary to
the future welfare of the patient ; and we are
disposed at times to consider, and hope that the
simple duration of the struggle now existing on
the eastern confines of Europe may lead to
beneficial results. We certainly wish well to
the cause of the Greeks : that immediate success
is equally desirable, or would even be equally
beneficial, is not quite so clear. The Emperor
of Russia, it is conceived, might bring the war
to a speedy close by his interference. We, on
the contrary, fear that the operations of such a
mediator would only serve to extend the miseries
of war, or at least, by exciting jealousy in the
minds of the other European Governments, would
lay the seeds of future contests. Suppose the
Greeks, then, were to overpower their tyrants
suddenly, and by one potent and unanimous effort
shake off the yoke of centuries, what would be
the consequence ? First, we fear that they would
be impelled by their feelings to acts of revenge
against their late oppressors; and the revenge of
a people in such a state of civilization would,
it is greatly to be apprehended, produce miseries
little less horrible than those of a war. Indeed,
we regret to state, that the Greeks have on some
occasions of local or temporary success but too
faithfully imitated their enemies ; and have shewn
a thirst of blood, where the effusion of it did not
serve to strengthen their cause : and if we wish,
as we most sincerely do, the Turks to be de-
feated, we do not wish them to be massacred or
injnred in any way farther than is necessary
for consolidating of what we esteem the cause of
Freedom. We know that there are persons
in this Capital, as well as throughout the
Continent of Europe, in correspondence with the
Greek leaders ; and we trust these sentiments, the
sentiments of all civilized men, will be made
known to them; the casualties, however, of a
prolonged war, the alternations of success and de-
feat, the vicissitudes of good and bad fortune,
will, we trust, if the lesson can no otherwise
be learned, at length teach moderation in vic-
rtory, and pity for the fallen. The triumph
would come too soon, if it should come before
those who obtain it know how to use it like
men and Christians. " Baud ignara nzali" is a
sentiment which does not lose its gloss by
repetition. But with respect to the Greeks
themselves, what, would be the consequence of
sudden and decisive superiority over the Turks ?

Why, that they ‘vonld he excessively embar-
rassed to know how to prOceed ; and the chances
.e-e, that, into feuds and .dissentions- with
each other, they would employ those .arms in
mutual destruction, which they now, it is true,
use with but doubtful success against the general
enemies of their name and race. A contest of a
more lamentable nature might ensue : a War of
nation against nation is to be regretted t a ,wart
of brother against brother can only be viewed
with horror. Suppose England had suddenly
withdrawn her pretensions to America, (for
we cannot put the case of our country
being
so . quickly defeated), but- suppose we had
only withdrawn our pretensions at the beginning
of the American conflict, and before the talents
and virtues of Washington had displayed them-
selves, what would have been the consequence ?
No One certainly can say ; but it is greatly to he
doubted whether even as speedy, atl, much less,
as happy, a termination of • the troubles • would
have been effected as subsequently resulted 'to
America from the prosecution of the war.

BIOGRAPHY OF HER LATE MAJESTr.

The following is a copy of a letter sent by
Mr. VIZARD to a Mr. WILES, who has adver.
tined his intention of publishing a life of the late
Queen : _

Lincoln's-iran.fields, Nov. 2, 1021.

. .
" SlR—Having seen a correspondence which
has lately appeared in some of the public
papers between you and a Mr. Brocke, on
the subject of your intended publication of
a life of ger -late Majesty, and perceiving by
it that you • profess to giVe to the public what
you term part of the intended case of recri-
mination and • the evidence which came- too
late to be used' in the House of Lords, it has
appeared right to the Executors named in her
late Majesty's will, as well, as to. her Majesty's
Counsel and myself, that it should.be distinctly
known that your publication is sanctioned by no
authority from them, and that although you ap-
plied to some of them and to me to be furnished
with papers and information, you were expressly
told by all to whoth your application was made,
that neither could be given.—The object of this
address being to prevent misconception, and that
the public should-know that whatever inforrna-
rtion you possess comes nqt from those who alone
could give that which is authentic, a copy of this
letter will be sent to some of the daily papers.

" I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
" John Wilks, jun., Esq. " W. VIZ:IRD."

the Shire Hall, at Ipswich, on Tuesday last ; the Right Hon.
Lord 'CALTHORPE in. the Chair, who observed that he-could
not do justice to hisTeelings, without congratulating the Society
most sincerely. With peculiar satisfaction he hail •jturtheard
that 21. 18s. had been raised by a great many poor indi§iduals
at East Berghert. It was the glorious characteristic ofti4 _:1-6s-

ciety reflected the greatest honour on the country—an honour.,
that would last when every other power had.passed away. His
Lordship concluded amidst the cheers of his,auditory,
The Report was then read, and stated that the Society had

The Rev. PETER. TROSCIIEW, who lately .visited Sweden
Norway, and Denmark, and who described the striking difference
in the religious and moral deportment in, the inhabitants of those
countries which the dissemination of the Scriptures had lately
produced, as contrasted with that total apathy towards the Chris-
tian .religion and its precepts which pervaded the popula-
tion under the pernicious influence of the. French Revolution,
adverted to an interview he had, been honoured with by the
Queen of Denmark, at which her Majesty expressed a grateful.
sense of her obligation to the British and Foreign Bible Society,
for the great and important advantages which its exertions had
conferred upon her " dear Denmark." Ile also.mentioned his
having had an audience of the King of Sweden, at Holstein,
whom he well knew, having seen him when he commanded a
detachment of the French Army ; from him he received every
assurance of an earnest zeal to further the views of the Bible
Society, considering its success most essential to tyre well-being
and happiness of his People.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT FROM THE EXPLOSION

OF GUN POWDER.

On Wednesday morning last, about half past
five o'clock, the greatest alarm was occasioned
amongst the inhabitants of the village of Brom-
ley, Middlesex, in consequence of a violent ex-
plosion of gunpowder taking place. On inquiry,
it was found that a young man named LEAFSLEY,
who lived footman in the family of Jong II An-
GAaT, Esq , in the village, had risen between
the hours of five and six, and gone into the
kitchen for the purpose of striking a light ; but on
looking into the tinder-box, he discovered there
were no matches ; he therefore took.a small por-
lion of gunpowder from a tin cannister, which
contained about three pounds of that article, and
placed it on a sheet of paper on the table, toge-
ther with some tinder, and then struck the steel
with the flint, and the paper ignited. A spark
by some accident communicated to the cannister,
which stood near him, mid on his taking hold of
it to remove it, the contents instantly exploded ;
the cannister was shattered to atoms, and the
unfortunate man was thrown a considerable?dis-
tance ; both his eyes were nearly burnt out of
his head, the thumb on Ids right hand was blow:1
off, and his left arm and hand were so dreadfully
lacerated, that it is feared amputation must take
place. Mr. and Mrs. ILIGGAHT, who slept OH the
and.
second floor, were thrown from their beds,
every article in the room thrown down, and
nearly all the windows were dashed to pieces,
and the unfortunate footman was immediately
conveyed to the London Hospital, where he now
lies a pitiable object, and yesterday was not ex-
pected to live.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OP CHANCERY, Nov:8,
ELOI'EMENT WITH"A WARD Pg CHANCtRY.
- irALE V. THOMAS AND JOSEPH BARLOW. '

Mr. RourELL this day again called the attention of ,the
Lord Chancellor to this case. Several affidavits bad now been
made by the defendants, but their contents were of so 'pecnliar
a nature as to 'render incumbent en bim to pray the Court to.
direct it to be heard in the private chamber. The defendants.
were now present, as they had been yesterday, at the rising of
the Court; although no mention had been made that they were
so, and he trusted, that oh seeing the papers, the Court would
grant his request. -
Mr: CIIVNG • thought the case had been disposed of, but as
affidavits.had been *filed; he did not know far it might be re.
cessary for him to see them before the case was argued. He
was not aware of their contents at present, nor had he any par,
ticuLrr objection to having the case heard the' private sham,
ber, if, as- it was.stated, the contents of the affidavits.might Le
injurious to the feelings of the parties.
The Lon.p- CHANCELLOA.. said, Mr. Ching could hear the
affidavits 'read over in the private room.
Mr. BO u PELL said, _from the nature-of the affidavits, it
was really of the highest importance that the hearing should be
priVate.
Mr. Crxr)ra, said, under these circumstances, he would not
object to such a course,.
The Loan CrrANcEr-Lon said, if the facts charged. are true,
1 am of opinion therenever was a more gross case of contempt ;
I am not, however; to take that to be the fact, without hearing
both sides, and which lam now-willing to do. -..
The Lord Chancellor and the respective parties then went
into-theptivate room, where they remained fft some time. On
their return—

The LOUD CLIAIiCELLOR• said he had -had some difficulty
with Tespedt to the hearing of this' case out of Court. When
both parties consented to.such a course, there was no doubt that
such a power was invested in him, and, therefore, as-that had
been the !list.. here, he had done so ; and he had now to express
his entire approbation of the propriety of the application by
Mr. Roupell, and also his satisfaction . at the condescension of
Mr. Ching in agreeing to it; as, on hearing the affidavits read,
there were found to be circumstances -connected with the trans-
action that must have been extremely painful to the parties to
have heard repeated in public, and circumstances that had in-
duced him to commit one of them.

The judgment or his Lord Ship was, that Thomas Barlow do
stand committed to the custody of the Warden of the Fleet pri-
son, for a contempt of the order of this Court. With respect to
Joseph Barlow, the consideration Of his case was deferred until
the wh01,...;0f the facts had been investigated.
341-. Thomas Barlow was immediately surrendered into the
custody of the ifipstaff, and conveyed to prison.
The case ex-parte Sharp occuplJd the remainder of the morn-
ing. It did not possess any feature of public interest.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 8.
IN RE BOYES.

• This was a bankrupt petition, and the quistion for the deter-
mination of the Court was the right of Mrs. Boyes and her
daughter, Miss Boyes, to prove debts against the bankrupt es-
tate of her husband, and the bankrupt estate of his two sons.—
Her father had by will left to Mrs. &Tea-10,0001. with remain-
der to her children, five in number. Her husband, Mr. Boyes,
was executor, and the money was to be divided among the five
children according to his appointment. If no appointment
should be made by. the father, the money was to be divided in
equal portions. This money Boyes lent to his two sons, who
had no interest in the will. The sons became bankrupts.—
Boyes, their father, also became bankrupt. Of the five chil-
dren four had consented to the loan, but Miss Boyes had not
consented. The question with respect to her was, what amount
of debt was she entitled to prove against the bankrupt estates ?
Another question arising from the same testamentary deed was
what was the title of the mother, Mrs. Boyes, as to proving
'any debt against both or either of bankrupt estates.
The VICE-CHANCELLOU thoug!it the first a question of
considerable nicety. The money must be divided among the
five, therefore, each must have some portion, but it might have
been so divided.that Miss Boyes should have almost the whole.
-But no appointment had been made, therefore it was only a
contingency_ as to her having almost all given to her; and a
title depending upon an act subsequent to the bankruptcy could
not be the foundation of any claim against the bankrupt estate.
Her debt was,thas only one fifth of the suns. The second point
His Rollout thought less difficult. The husband jure mariti,
had a right to the full use and-disposal of the life-interest of his
wife in the money. He might have given it entirely away, and.
no claim would arise to the wife in consequence against his
estate : but he had not given it away, and therefore an equi-
table right arose to her against the estate of those to whom
it was lent : . but her right to prove a debt must be limited to
the estate of the sons ; she had no right as against her hus-
band's estate.

COURT OF TONG'S BENCH, Nov. S.
CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION-THE KING V. TURNER.

The defendant appeared at the sitting of the Court to plead
to an indictment preferred by the Constitutional Association
for publishing some. of Carlile's works. The indictment was
read by the Officer, and the defendant pleaded Not. Guilty. lie
was told his trial would come on at the Sittings after Term.
