COURT OF ICING'S BENCH.
THE ORATOR OF •THE AREOPAGUS,

• Before the doors were opened this morning, a'
number of Mr. Taylor's friends were in attendance,
as it was positively expected that he would be
called up for judgment during the course of the day,
this being the last day but one of the term, and it
being the regular practice of the Court to take no-
thing but motions. on the last day of term. Mr.
Taylor was in attendance at the sitting of the
Court.

dispose of undefended causes, in the early part of the
morning, and did not take his seat on the Bench,
until after twelve o'clock.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.--(THREE
O'CLOCK.)—The Rule obtained by Mr7.FRENCH
against THE SUN has been DISCHARGED, but
the lateness of the hour prevents us from giving

a report till to-morrow.
On Monday morning, at an early hour, a
daring outragewas Committed at Glencullo, near Newport.
Four armed men fired at WM. HALLINAN, of that pL.2e ;
one of the shots broke his arm, and two bullets lodged in
his aide. The man is yet living, but his recovery despaired
of, and is now under the protection of the Police. Lord,l
DUNAELY and BLOOMFIELD are exerting themselves for the
apprehension of the assassins, whose motive for this horrid
outrage is a total mystery.— Tipperary Free Press.

CURE FOR ENVY.—Bishop BERKELEY
(that acute reasoner) contrived a lucky antidote for the suf-
fering of envy. " When I walk the streets," says he, " I
use the fellowiiag natural maxim, (viz. that he is the true
possessor of a thing who enjoys it, and not he that owns it
without the enjoyment of it,) to convince myself that I
have a property in the gay part of all the gilt chariots
that I meet, which I regard as amusement to delight my
eyes, and the imagination of those kind people who sit in
them gaily attired only to please me ;" by which maxim
he fancied himself one of the richest men in Great Britain.

ST. KATHARINE'S DOCK.—The whole of
the water which flowed into the New Dock of St. Katha-
rine during the late high tide is now completely pumped
out by the incessant working of the two stean engines.
The workmen are now all actively employed, mid scarcely
a vestige remains of the late extraordinary eruption. The
brick work, which had been partially loosened by the force
of the water, is now effectually repaired, and the whole of
the works are proceeding in a most satisfactory manner.
The loss to the contractor of this great undertaking will
not be so much as has been anticipated. •

On the trial of two ruffians, at the Kirkdale
Sessions, on Tuesday week, for robbing Mr. BOULTER. at
the Liverpool races, the following_ colloquy occurred during
thecross-examination of the prosecutor, by Mr. RAlrt-
COCK, who was Counsel for one of the prisoners. Mr. it:—
You were formerly a Harlequin, I believe ? Mr. B.—No,
Sir. Mr. R.—Oh ! but did you not play the Clown, at
the Circus? Mr. B.—. Yes, sometimes. Mr.
take care, Sir, you do not make a fool of yourself here.
Mr. B.—l think, Sir, there are two of us, who ought to
be on that look out to•day.--(Loud laughter; and it is al-
most needless to add, an end to the cross-examination.)

On Sunday afternoon about three o'clock, a
respectably dressed female attempted to destrit
herself in the canal in St. James's- Park.
private in the Foot Guards watched her for some
time, when she threw herself into the canal ; he
immediately rushed to her assistance, and jumped
into the. canal, and with some difficulty got her
out. She was taken to St. Margaret's watch-
house, Westminster, and subsequently to the
workhouse, nearly in a dying state. She ap-
peared to be about 30 years of age, genteelly
attired in halcmourning, but was evidently
Yesterday morning her manner was such, that no
' person could obtain her name or place of
residence.

EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.---Yesterday a
curious 'wager was decided, on which large sums
had been depending. A young officer of the
61st regiment, named Laurel, wilco is remarkable
for being slightly made, undertook to proceed
from Buttevant to the Barracks of Mallow, 'a dis-tance of eight English miles, with a soldier's
knapsack and kit 'on his back, weighing 601bs. in
an hour and 35 'minutes. This extraordinary
feat he performed to the astonishment and admi-
•ration .of .numbers in an hour and thirty-three
minutes, haying two minutes of his time to spare.
As he approached the termination of his journeys
lie became much distressed, but he shortly after
recovered, and was borne off in triumph to
BUttevant in a coach decorated with Laurel, by
his brother officers, and where no doubt crowds
-were assembled to receive him.—Cork CO7l-

SAMOS, OCT. 14.—Being a Philhellene these
four years, I remain still in Greece, notwith-
standing the troubles and miseries I have expe-
rienced. My classical illusions drew me away
from Paris, and the pleasures which a moderate
man, with an income of 60,000 francs (2,500/.
sterling), may enjoy in that capital. The first
moments I spent in Greece were very unpleasant,
and I was completely disenchanted. How-
ever, • after spending a year in learning the
Greek language, and the manners and customs
of my new fellow-citizens, the picture appeared to
me less disgusting, and. I connected myself with
the surrounding objects. Presently my small pecu-
niary means, by rendering me independent in
the midst Of anarchy, procured me a certain de-
gree of consideration, and I launched out in the
military career. Serving by turns under the
standard of various Captains of Klephtes, I tra-
versed Greece, sometimes as victor, sometimes
vanquished, accompanied by five or six body
guards, who remained ever faithful to me in all
vicissitudes of fortune ; probably because I pay
them regularly, at least up to the present mo-
ment.. You would smile at their familiarity
with me on ordinary occasions, and at their re-
spectful demeanour on pay-days, when they do'
not fail to kiss my hands. This life of an ad-
velitnrer has procured to Captain - (for this
is my new name) a number of striking anecdotes,
which I consigned to my album,
and which do
not yield in any thing to those of Messrs.
, and Co.--You shall have some extracts
forthwith.
