PRINCE MAVROCORDATO.

Since we have been at Poros, I have frequently been on
shore; I went twice to pay a visit to Prince Mavrocordato,
who is residing here with his sister. He is living in
lodgings. This celebrated individual, whose name has
been so widely spread, walks about Poros without recei-
ving the slightest civility. He never goes out unaccom-
panied by his Greek servant, who is always well armed,
and acts more the part of a guard than a lacquey. If his
master only goes across the street you are sure to see this
Greek gensdarme after him: Mavrocordato speaks French
fluently, and he also dresses ala mode Francoise. From
what I had.previously heard, I fully expected to find him
a dandy; what was my surprise then, when, instead of
finding him a fine well-dressed man, I beheld a shabbily
dressed being, with the face of an owl, almost entirely
concealed by immense dark bushy whiskers, and glorious
mustachios. His countenance bespeaks anything but in-
tellect; but when he is animated his eyes seem to pene-
trate your inmost thoughts. He is about five feet four
inches in height, rather stout, dresses very shabbily, a la
Francoise; I speak from what I saw myself ; his clothes
hang on him like a sack. He is extremely affable to stran-
gers, and whenever you meet him he is sure to salute you
with a laugh. In short, he is continually laughing, which
makes him appear to a stranger very silly. He avoids, as
much as possible, conversing about his country; When I
asked him what he thought of the present state of Greece,
Lie-looked at me for some moments, with his penetrating
eyes, before he thought proper to answer my question ; he
then said very coolly—as long as the Greek Chiefs con-
tinue to disagree among themselves,. so long as this anar-
chy reigns,, there is little to hope for. or expect; while the
members o the Government are so unqualified for the
situations they hold, it is impossible that our cause Should
prosper. We have ‘more to fear from ourselves than our
enemies—l should not care were they double their num-
ber, did we but agree among ourselves, and had we men
capable •of filling the offices of state • nevertheless, I feel
assured we shall be free—(striking his bfeast with great
emotion)—We must be free! During this conversation
he became very animated ; lie did not then appear to be
the same man. It was then you observed the bright pene-
trating glance of his eye. I asked him if he had heard
any thing of Lord Cochrane of late, and to my great Bur;
prise, he answered me in the affirmative. Lord C. was
only waiting at Marseilles to complete the purchase of a,
ship, which had been built for the Pacha of Egypt.—
He also said, that he expected the steam-boats would
leave England very soon, and he intended to jnin them at
Messina or Malta.

ROLLS' COURT, TUESDAY, FEB. G.

JACKSON V. BOURNE.

In this case, which has occupied the -attention of the Court
during the three last nights of its sittirig, the plaintiff presented a
petition, praying for a dissolution of partnership between himself
and the defendant, under the following circumstances :—Many
years ago the plaintiff, who is a, Clergyman, formed a partnership
with the defendant, for the purpose of working a mine in Notting-
hamshire, called the Nuttall Mine. There were no regular deeds
of partnership, and now the plaintiff prayed for a dissolution of
the connection, in consequence of the defendant's having pur-
chased another mine, called the Babbington Mine, adjoining to
the Nuttall Mine, and having made use of the rail-way, and other
property of the joint concern, for the benefit of that which was
his exclusively. The petition further prayed that the property
might be disposed of, and that it might be referred to the Master
to say what compensation ought to be allowed to the plaintiff for
the rail-way and other property made use of by the defendant for
the Babbington Mine.
His HONOUR said he would examine all the documents before
he delivered his opinion on a case of such considerable importance
as regarded partnership.

We have heard that the expected token of respect
on the day of the funeral of the Duke of York, was withheld in
a western cathedral, on the extraordinary remonstrance of a Pre-
bendary, himself an almost AineCurist of 6,0001. per annum in
the Church!

Letters. received in town yoBterday announce the
death of Martin John Jenish, the rich senator and banker of Ham-
burgh. Mr. Jenish was a 'man of very avaricious habitsl and it
cannot be truly said of him that he died sincerely regretted by
thOse who knew him. He has left behind him a fortune amount-
ing to upwards of a million sterling. He died without a will.
His landed property he gave by donation to his two eldest sons.
MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Wednesday
last was led to the altar of Hymen, at Kihnanahan, in the county
of Waterford, Biddy Connell, aged fourteen years, to Robert
Cushion, aged fifty !—Majority in favour of the Gentleman 36!

in the township of Lepton, near Huddersfield, by trade a weaver,
is now in good health, and in possession of all his faculties, at the
age of 104 years and seven months. lie says he never was out
of employ until the last year.
Arr HONOURABLE THIEF.—On Thursday night
last, during the great rush at the pit doors Of Drury-lane Theatre,
a crowd of pickpockets, as usual, levied contributions upon those
who carelessly carried watches, or 'ether property with them.—
Among the number of those robbed was Mr. Charles Davis, of
Lower Brook-street, who, upon taking his scat in the pit, disco-
vered that his pocket-book, containing a few pounds, some bills
of acceptance, and other memoranda, was gone. Mr. Davis gave
up all idea•of ever again seeing the pocket-book, or its contents,
when he was greatly surprised on Saturday last, by the receipt of
the following curious epistle, enclosing the bills and memoranda--
" Sir—ln the crowd collected to witness Mr. Kean's abilities,
you lost your bills. I now, Sir, return them again, and not• like
some of my profession, destroy them by fire. No, Sir, though I
am a thief, I still have some honpur left, and can feel when a
tradesman or mechanic is injured.
" I hope, Sir, that you will be More cautious 'in future, and
leave your bills, receipts, &c. &c. at Lome, when you go to places
of public amusement.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your well wisher.

" Mr. J. Davis," &e. -
This letter was written in a very fine hand.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.

FRAMCLAND V. B.ANK OF ENOLAND.
The LORD CHANCILLOR stated, that he was prepared to give
judgment in this cage to-day. _ _

Mr. SUGDEN said he understood that a case was to be made of
it,, for the opinion of the Court of King's Bench. If this were
so, the parties would feel greatly obliged by his Lordship's settling
the case.
Mr. HORNE also assented to this.
His LORDSHIP had no objection, but he thought he ought to
hear the outline of the case.

Mr. SUGDEN said, as the record stated the facts precisely, he
thought that statement ought to be put into the case, and that
then the Court below ought, to be asked, whether upon those
facts, the plaintiff was entitled to recover his demand as against
the Bank of England, for having refused to make a transfer upon
his application.
Mr. HORNE said, Mr. Sergeant Bosanquet had already drawn
out a sketch of what he thought the case ought to be, provided
one was to be sent to lawat all.

After some further observations at the Bar, it was agreed that
both sides should draw out what they considered to be the proper
minutes of the order to be made by Friday morning, then to let
the Court have them, and between them his Lerdship would state
the case: •
