DEATH OF BARON HULLOCK.

It is with sincere regret we have to announce
;he decease of Mr. Baron. HuLLocx, which

took place last night, at Abingdon, at ten o'clock.
Mr. Baron HULLOCK was a man of sound dis-

cretion, great candour, temperate, but firm in his
judicial capacity, looking upon and expounding
the law more in consonance with plain sense and
popular construction, than bewildering the imagi-
nation and embarrassing the judgment with tech-
nical definitions and contradictory precedents.
He read the Statute with an unprejudiced eye,
and applied its provisions with a liberal and
learned spirit,—a lawyer, and yet a man of the
world, who, like Mr. Justice BAYLEY, made
ample allowance for the infirmity of human
nature, while he executed the duties of his office
with a mildness which added grace to the de-
cision of his character. A Baron of the Ex-
chequer, yet not more for the Crown than the
people. This is the highest praise which a
Judge of that Court can receive-,--and Mr. Baron
HULLOCK has amply merited it.
We received the following letter, this morn-
ing, from Mr. STRANGE, to whom we take this
opportunity of returning thanks for his prompti-
tude and politeness :

"Abingdon, July 31, 1829.

" SIR,—I regret to inform you Mr. Baron
HuLLocK departed this life, at my house, at
ten o'clock this night. The importance of this
information must be an apology for my intrusion.
In great haste.

" Your obedient servant,
~ WM. STRANGE."

The Messager des Chambres, in a second
edition, contains letters from Berlin, stating that
it was at the instance and desire of the Cabinet
of St. Petersburgh, that the Court of Berlin sent
General MUFFLING to Constantinople. The
Emperor NICHOLAS was then, as he has always
professed to be, moderate, and " free from all
views of ambition and conquest." Whether he
will continue in the same mood after the recent
victory at Kulowtscha and the fall of Silistria
remains to be seen. He offers to make peace

with the Polo. oQgditionkgettit\
negociation what he lasltitTertaN4d.b
force of arms, and if he can. succeed, we think
he acts wisely, after the experieitee Of the last
campaign. With respect to Greece, the EM-
PEROR is resolved upon carrying :into effect
the " magnanimous policy " upon which he
set. out : he will insist upon its obtaining
an extent of country necessary to its inde-
pendence—that is, a positive line from Volo
to All 2, so that it may include not only
Athens, but a good part of Thessaly. In
this, we think, he is right: He might even
include Mount Olympus, and draW a line from
that " most classic" part of Greece along the
mountains to the Gulf of Arta. In this deter-
mination of his INiPERIAL MAJESTY, we can-
not, however, help perceiving the " order of the
day" upon which Count CAPO DISTRIA is
now acting. The President's blockade is only
an extension of that of Admiral HEYDEN'S,
under a Grecian disguise.
The Messager ridicules the rumours of
changes in the French Ministry. The changes
are however believed—and the arrival of the
Prince de POLIGNAC at Paris serves to coun-
tenance the report.

Frankfort Papers state that a ship which has
arrived at Trieste in nineteen days from Syra,
beings the intelligence that Thebes, in the island
of Negropont, has surrendered to the Greeks by
capitulation. The Turkish garrison was to be
conveyed to Smyrna, on board of Greek ships.
The following are extracts :

ODESSA, JULY 3.—The happiest success has attended
the measures adopted by the Magistrates to check the pro-
gress of the plague, which manifested itself in the quaran-
tine establishment a fortnight ago. The invalids were
separated so quickly from the healthy, that of 400 persons
who were considered as suspected, not one has hitherto
shewn any indications of contagion ; hitherto only 30 per-
sons have fallen victims to this dreadful visitation, and of
these 16 arrived here with the infection upon them. The
town itself is perfectly healthy, and the mortality less con-
siderable than at any other period of the year ; all commu-
nication between the town and the Lazaretto is now inter-
rupted. At present there are in the Lazaretto only three
patients that have the plague. Should there be no new
cases the Lazaretto will be soon thoroughly purified.
VIENNA, JULY 20.—Metallig ries, 99 7-16; Bank
Shares, 1,124.
TRIESTE, JULY 12.—A ship, which has arrived here
in 19 days from Syra, brings the intelligence that Thebes
in the island of Negropont, has surrendered to the Greeks
by capitulation. The Turkish garrison was to be conveyed
to Smyrna on board of Greek ships.
SYRA, JUNE 2.—The President of Greece has lately
made great changes in his Administration. At present
regard is paid to private interests, unity is observed in the
general measures of the Administration, and attention is
paid to agriculture. This is the best means to save the
country from wars and distress which consume it. These
ameliorations have an influence on the people without their
perceiving it, and they proved . to the President, during
his late tour, that they are not insensible of the efforts that
are made to relieve them. It is certain that the President
has more real influence at this moment, than at any other
time since he has resided in Greece.

Emar.a, JUNE 4.—The National Bank, conformably to
the obligations imposed on it by the statutes, has repaid
350,000 piastres to a certain number of auditors. As the
financial resources of the Government are BO too small
to meet the most urgent wants, only two-thirds of the
payments have been made in money, and the remainder
in bills, at different dates. As the Government, notwith-
standing the scarcity of money, has eventually performed
its engagements to those creditors of the Bank who
thought proper, at the close of last year, to withdraw
their capital with the interest, there is the more reason to
hope that those creditors, who have not yet asked for re-
payment, will give a further proof of their regard for their
country. This same wish is addressed to the generous
foreigners who are shareholders in the Bank.
Count Bulgari, Prussian Minister to the Greek Govern-
ment, has lately written a letter to the President, stating,
that among the prisoners taken at Varna were thirty
young Greeks, natives of Scio, whom the Turks had
obliged to embrace Islamism, and whose first wish on
being among their brethren, was to return to the religion of
their fathers. The Emperor has .given orders far the ful-
filment of this pious and national wish, and has further
resolved to enable them to be one day useful in this coun-
try, by 'having them educated in the military academy at
Kiew, at the expence of the Government, and under the
special care of the directors of that establishment. When
their education is completed, they are to be sent back to
Greece, to serve their country in such offices as they may
be qualified to fill.
The 500 orphans assembled in March, 1828, at Poros
and Napoli, are now lodged in a house lately built at
Egina, at the expence of foreigners, friends to Greece.
The President wishing to ensure the orphans in the insti-
tution a moral and Christian religion, as well as good ele-
mentary instruction, has appointed commissioners, who
are to have the inspection and administration of it.

By a letter from the Editor of the Notting-
ham Mercury, inserted in our columns of to-
day, it will be seen that the inflated and scarcely
intelligible metaphor which we objected to some
days since, in our notice of Mr. SADLER'S
speech at Newark, was really made use of by
that Gentleman, who, however, has since thought
fit to correct and throw it into a less mystified form.
Many excuses ought, we are aware, to be made
for what is spoken in the hurry of the moment.
A correct use of imagery, and above all, a collo-
quial style of expression that shall be familiar
without being vulgar, are seldom extempore
qualifications. They are the results usually
of steady and mature consideration. Of this
study we fancied we perceived evident traces in
Mr. SADLER's speech, and decided on its quali-
fications accordingly. But after all, it is of little
moment to a public character whether his periods
be accurately balanced, or his metaphors nicely
drawn out ; his principles are the important
points of his oratory, and in these, we still feel
that Mr. SADLER is deficient. He is too
much the " laudator temporis acti."

New York Papers to the 9th July have been
received ; they contain some more particulars of
the mad attempt by FERDINAND to reconquer
Mexico. We think the Colombians, who are
in league with the Mexicans, ought to make a
demonstration on Cuba, in the absence of the
fleet and army. Such a manceuvre, though likely
to be attended with as little success as the descent
on Mexico, would yet alarm the Spaniards,
more especially as the merchants and people of
Havannah are discontented at the late exactions
to fit out the expedition.

The Times of this morning, while it elo-
quently praises, seems half inclined to doubt th•

't•-•
au of the " Notice" issued by Lord
ILVsSOW N ENTINCK, because it is said by a
Contemporary " to have come by way of Bor-
deaux:" It may have come by way of Bor-
deaux, but we received it in copies of the Bom-
bay Courier, by the Sesostris, which arrived off
Dover. We only mention this because we see
that some othei Papers have given circulation to
the same version of the matter.

The following is another notice of the Gover-
nor-General, which gives a still greater proof of
his urbanity and patriotic feeling !—=
