hills the picturesque scenery of the country. On the 12th,
being the Persian festival of the Couram Beiram, the
Prince received the compliments of his suite and of the
Russian Generals and Officers. While his Highness staid
there the band of the regiment played every evening under
his window. On the 14th he proceeded on his journey to
St. Petershurgh, after thanking the Governor in the
must flattering terms for the hospitable reception he had
met with.

HERMANSTADT, JULY 9.—General Geismar is forming
moveable columns, with which he intends to act on the

right bank of the Danube. The Paella of Nicopolis is
said to be much alarmed at this, and the fall of Silistria is
not calculated to encourage the Turkish garrions. It is
said that the heavy artillery found in Itachova is to be
employed in the defence of that place, but that heavy ar.
tillery is expected from the principalities, which is to be
embarked on the Danube, and employed against Nicopolis.
Congreve rockets of a new kind are to he sent to Gruen!
Geismar. Since the energetic measures of the Govern-
ment the sanitary state of the Principalities has began to
improve. Some villages where the epidemic disorder was
peculiarly violent are to be burnt by order of the Divan,
and an indemnity given to those who will be sufferers by
the measure.

VIENNA, JULY 18.—A report has been spread on
Change to day, that the Prussian General Baron Mulling
. is sent to Constantinople on an extraordinary mission.
This being considered as an indication of the intervention
of Prussia to bring about peace, as a proof of the una-
nimity of the powers, and of the wish of Russia to put
an end to the war, the funds have risen. We have no
news from the theatre of war since the fall of Silistria.
Count Diebitsch arrived before Silistria on the 29th, and
took several measures which hastened the fall of the place.
The corps of Count Pahlen was then before Shun:la, but
was preparing to march towards Burgos, and was to be re-
inforced by 10,000 men, under General Krassowsky, who
leaves a garrison of 5,000 men in Silistria. The fine
weather is favorable to negotiation, and accounts from all parts
of the monarchy respecting the harvest are favourable, so that
we hope that the partial damage done by too much inun-
dation will be lounterbalanced by the general prosperity.
BRUSSELS, JULY 28.—The Nassau brings news from
Batavia to 4th April, which announce that hostilities
remain suspended : this repose was very advantageous to
our troops. The chiefs of the insurgents had not yet po-
sitively declared upon what conditions they would submit,
under the pretence that during the whole month that the
Afahometan fast continues, no negociations could be car-
ried on. This hindrance would cease the 6th April,
and it would then be seen whether Diepo Negoro was
seriously disposed to submit. Two brothers of Changko
Diningrat have joined our troops, and Ali Basra
Prawiro Dirdjo, a principal chief of the rebels, has
asked a personal interview with Lieutenant- General De
Kock, adding, that Diepo Negoro had absolutely refused
the intervention of Kiaja M aljo, because it was owing to
that the negociations in 1827 had failed.
Tita HAGUE, JULY 26.—The King set out this after-
noon for Amsterdam, and is expected to return about the
end of the week. Her imperial Highness the Grand
Duchess Helen of Russia is expected here on the 30th,
with her suite, consisting of 36 persons.
It is said that Lady Morgan is going to publish a new
work in this city. Her Ladyship has certainly paid a visit
to Mr. H. Tayhir, one of our principal publishers.
We continue to receive afflicting accounts of the damage
done by the late tempests.

The Benchers of the Inner Temple are aho

to submit to a public examination in the Greek
language, in order to chew that they both were
and are qualified for their high station, agreeably
to the proposed new regulations ; they also in-
tend to establish by evidence (upon oath), that
they were possessed of the same' amount of pro-
perty as is to form the new qualification of a
candidate for the Bar, viz., 4001. per annum
(being only one-third more than the qualifica-

tion for a Member of Parliament !) when they
severally became members of that learned So-
ciety, the high feeling of the Bench not per-
mitting them to make regulations to bar the ad-
vancement of others, which, had they formerly
existed, would have been a bar to their own.

By an additional new regulation the Worthy
and lion. the Benchers of the timer Temple, in
addition to their other honours, are henceforth,
by way of pre-eminence, to be distinguished by
the honourable and characteristic appellation of
The Greeks."

At a late hour this morning we received the
Prussian State Gazette of the 25th inst. This
Gazette contains the Convention concluded be-
tween the kingdom of Prussia and the Grand
Duchy of Hesse on one part, and the kingdoms
of Bavaria and Wurtemburg on the other, rela-

tive to the trade and intercourse between their
respective subjects. This Convention, which
fills six columns of the Gazette, is divided into
19 articles, dated Berlin, May 27 :
KONIGSBURG, JULY 19 —Yesterday evening her Ma-
jesty the Empress of Russia, arrived here on her return
to St. Petersburgh. Her Majesty had declined a formal
reception, but the inhabitants as the weather was very fine,
went a great distance out of the gates to receive her. She
was accompanied by her brother the Crown Prince of
Prussia. Her Majesty and the Prince left us again this
morning early, and will reach Memel this evening.
RETERSBURGII, JULY 14.—The new Austrian Ambas-
sador to our Court, Count Figuelmont, arrived here on the
12th. Count Suchtelen, Quartermaster• General of the
Staff of the army, has also arrived here.
The Journals contain detailed accounts of his Majesty's
tour in Poland. He had repeatedly expressed his satisfac-
tion to the Grand Duke Constantine, in consequence of
the admirable order which he found in all the branches of
the Administration, under his Imperial Highness's di-
rection.

At Tulczyn, where his Majesty arrived on the Ist inst.
he was particularly pleased with the excellent condition in
which he found the Regiments of the Guards cantoned in
that town and its vicinity.

THE HAGUE, JULY 28.—His Royal Highness Prince
Ihert of Prussia has arrived at Brussels.

By the Katherine Stewart Forbes, we have
Bombay Gazettes to the 22d February, on
which day the vessel sailed; but they contain no
news of a political interest. The following are
a few extracts :

Yesterday morning at about a quarter past nine, a fire
broke out at Kamattee-poora (about three miles from the
Fort, on the Bycullah-road), and consumed nearly 400
small houses in the course of one hour. Two children
and an old woman lost their lives in the conflagration.
The Katherine Stewart Forbes, Captain Chapman,
sails for England to-morrow morning, carrying as passen-
gers :--Lady Chambers and three children, Colonel and
Mrs. J. Morse, Mrs. Morgan, Miss Williams, Dr. Wil-
liams, Captain and Mrs. Vaughan and child, Captain Wil-
son, Bengal Artillery, Captain Baillie, Lieutenant Richards,
John Gilder, Esq., Dr. Armstrong, Lieutenant Knox,
Madras Cavalry, Mr. Ketterer.
We are surprised that the frequent occurrence of these
fires in the little villages without the Town Walls has not
long since suggested to the authorities, to whom such
matters may be committed, the necessity of adopting some
scheme for their future prevention. Surely an arrange-
ment might be made by which builders of huts could be
compelled to erect them either singly, or in small rows at
considerable distances from one another, thus confining
the fire to the hut, or the row of huts, in which it may
break out.

The latest papers from Calcutta represent Lord Wm.
Bentinck's state of health as improving. Lady W. Ben-
tinck had left to meet him.

By way of Havre, letters this morning have
been received from Buenos Ayres, of a date four

clays later than the last advices. The city was
perfectly tranquil, and no apprehensions of the
Monteneros getting in existed. RIVADAVIA
and AGUERO have both arrived at Havre.

By the returns published this morning it ap-
pears there is a fuither advance in the duty on
Foreign Wheat, which is now as high as IBs. 8(1.
per quarter. The aggregate average for the
six weeks, by which this is regulated, was 675.
Bd. per quarter.

Singapore Papers to the 13th of February
have been received :—A conspiracy had been
detected at Manilla on the 26th of the preceding
month, having for its object to destroy the Go-
vernor, Admiral, and Chief Europeans, but its
extent was very imperfectly known.
The Government had received information
that the suburbs would be set on fire a few nights
before, and the troops were held in readiness.
As was expected, a fire broke out near the
Custom-house, but by dint of great exertion it
was confined to a few houses. Some men are
said to have been detected with firebrands in their
hands, and numerous arrests had taken place.
By the census taken at Singapore for the
year 1828, it appears that the population had
considerably increased, it being 17,664, an in-
crease of 2779 over the preceding year.

We have Letters and Papers from the Cape of
Good Hope to the 113th May. Distillation
from grain had commenced there ; and the sub-
scription to the College was opened, and at-
tracted considerable patronage. The manufac-
ture of coarse hats was spreading rapidly, and
some fine hats were also made of the otter and
other furs. The supply of suitable wool for
coarse hats was annually becoming more abun-
dant. The following are the prices of grain at
the Cape :—Barley, per maund, 5 Rds. ; Oats,
41 to 5 ; Wheat, per 10 maunds, 121 to 150 :
Maize, per maund, 5 to 6 ; Rye, per maund, 4
to G ; fine Flour, per lb., 12 to 13.

The Ausburg Gazette says that the GRAND
VIZIER had no authority to give an answer to

the propositions sent by General DIEBITSCH
who sent the despatches to Constantinople, and
that REDSCIIID PACIIA is much disposed for
Peace ; and the great influence he has with the
SULTAN is such, that every hope is entertained
that terms will be accepted, to prevent the fur-
ther effusion of blood.

The report of two divisions of Russians hav-
ing passed the BalkaM might have been magni-
fied from the following circumstance :—lt was
reported at Constantinople by the last accounts,
that the Russian scouts were seen in the envi-
rons of Carnabat, in the Balkan, and in the
valley of Deglis-Beressi.

Extracts from the Paris Papers will be found

in another column. The Messager des Chambres
contradicts or doubts the report " that the
SULTAN has rejected the Protocol of the
22d of March, as he had rejected all the
other proposals made to him"—and we are
inclined to agree with the Messager that the
Porte could not have taken such a resolution
before the Ambassadors who have arrived at Con-
stantinople have had their solemn audience,
which had not taken place at the date of the last
letters from that capital.

The Marquis of CHANDOS, accompanied by
a deputation of West India Planters, had a long
conference with Sir GEORGE MURRAY this
morning at the Colonial Office.

The usual despatches from Paris and the
Netherlands were received at the Foreign Office
this morning.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
JUDGMENT.-WILFORD V. BULKELEY.

His LORDSHIP disposed of this case. General
Wilford employed the defendant, his heir-at-law,
and a solicitor, to levy a fine for him in respect of
certain lands, the General having previously, by
will, devised those hinds to his widow. The fine
was levied, and by its operation it revoked the will
as far as affected the lands. It did not appear that
Mr. Bulkeley knew the General had made a will.
Other solicitors had been employed to assist him in
the making of it. The General died in a month
after the fine was levied, without having republished
his will, or made a new one; and very shortly
afterwards the defendant claimed the lands as heir-
at-law, alleging that the testator had died in-
testate as regarded them. He took possession ac-
cordingly of the estates in 1822. The widow filed
a bill, calling on the defendant to re-convey and to
account. The cause came on for bearing before the
Vice-Chancellor, then Sir J. Leach. He directed two
issues to be tried at law; the first was, whether the
defendant had fraudulently induced the General to
extend the fine beyond the property sold to the
Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital ; and the second,
whether the defendant had fraudulently omitted to
inform the General that the fine revoked his will as
to the lands (part of the Ranelagh estate at Chelsea)
therein confirmed ? Upon the trial the Jury found
for the defendant on the first issue,but on the second
they found for the plaintiff. An application was
made by the defendant for a new trial; this
was refused, and the present judgment upon the
case was upon the discussion upon further directions.
The Court was of opinion that it was the duty of
the defendant to have informed the General of the
effect of the fine upon any will he might have
made, and that the Jury had found their verdicts
rightly on the evidence before them. That under
these circumstances 51r. Rulkeley could not be per-
mitted to retain the estate he had thus fraudulently
become possessed of. That therefore he should be
decreed to reconvey the estate, to give up posses- '
sion, to account for the rents and profits he had re-
ceived, pay the costs of the proceedinge in this
Court, and so much of those at common law as by
the findings of the Jury had been against him.
TfIE APPLICATION TO COMMIT EARL ROSCOMMON,
&c. TO THE FLEET.
WALKER V. STRICKLAND.
Mr. KNIGHT stated that he appeared for a Miss
Booth, who was one of the parties ordered to ap-

strained from communicating or having any inter.
course whatever with that young lady. Miss Booth
was a most respectable young lady, engaged in ho-
nourably gaining her livelihood by keeping a school,
in conjunction with her mother, at which the ward
was. She had made an affidavit, which was also
sworn to by her father and sister, denying, in the
most express terms, that she had done so. The
statement originally was only made on information
and belief, and could have for its object nothing
but the ruin of this young lady.
Sir CHARLES WETHERELL bad understood that
this was to be heard in private.
Mr. KNIGHT was instructed, on the part of hip
client, obstinately to object to its being► heard in
private. She had been calumniated in public, and
demanded to exculpate herself as openly.
Sir CHARLES WETHERELL had seen her affidavit,
and was now perfectly satisfied that the charge
against her had been made in mistake, and was will-
ing that she should have her costs of appealing to
be paid by those who had made the allegation.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought this young lady
had done right in insisting on being heard
in public, that her justification might get a
circulation as widely as the charge against
her had got. She stood perfectly acquitted
in the eye of the Court, from which she
was at liberty comfortably to walk away. Miss
Booth, then in company with her mamma, sister,
papa, and brother, marched off, all apparently as sa-
tisfied with themselves (and who seemed to be
highly respectable, and attired most fashionably) as
Miss B.'s Counsel was with the appearance and
conduct of his client.

Sir CHARLES WETHERELL next applied, at the
request of Lord Roscommon, that the ca-ge, as it re-
lated to the other parties, might be heard in private.
They had come to an arrangement, which, if it met
with the Court's approbation, would not take five
minutes in being disposed of.
The LORD CHANCELLOR consented tc hear the
parties in private at three o'clock.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TwEr,rE o'CLocx.

• Honduras Papers to the 7th June, Cape of Good
Hope to the 1041 May, and Singapore to the 13th
February, have been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house.

In the Honduras Papers there is an official des-
patch from the Commander-in-Chief of the United
armies, stating, that at ten o'clock in the forenoon
he occupied the great square in the capital, San
Salvador, after it had been surrendered. It is signed
Francis Morazan.

Another despatch to the Minister of War, from
Morazan, states that the actual position of the Re-
public, and the state of demoralization to which it is
reduced by the civil war, requires the adoption of
the most energetic measures to enforce the re4pect
due to the laws and the authorities. Then follows
an extract of a private letter from the above General,
stating that yesterday, the 4th, "I puv; in confine-
ment in a decent house the President, and Vice Presi
dent, Aycenena; and Sosa Cordovita and Domingo
escaped."
The Singapore Papers say that accounts had been
received from Manilla that great agitation pre-
vailed there, owing to a plot having been discovered
to declare its independence, and that a great num-
ber of individuals had been arrested and put into
close confinement. It was said that the plan was to
set the theatre on fire, kill the Governor, Admiral,
and others in authority who were found in the
theatre, and secure and murder the rest of the Eu-
ropeans; but little credit was given to the above

report.
The Cape of Good Elope Papers state that the
Government Gazette, of the 13th of May, contains
some alteration of the capitation taxes. The head.
money, we believe 3s. 9d., paid by men above 16
years of age, and women above 20, and under 60, is
increased six shillings, and is in future to be paid by
every person above the age of 16 and 20, excepting
married women.

(From the South African of May 6.)
The farmer in South Africa can now calculate
upon a ready market and good prices for his produce
in Cape Town, or at any sea-port. Wheat during
the last six months has fetched from 90 to 130
dollars a load : Oats 30 dollars.

Consols opened this morning at the same price
they left off yesterday, 88/i for the Account, and
same for money. Nothing doing as yet.
The Foreign Market is also inactive at present,
prices nominal.

part of the Island, and does not bring any news.

Consols in the early part of the ►norning had ati
appearance of improvement, but the Chancery sold
about 30 or 40,000, which damped the market.
Previous to the above sale Consols were done at
88* for the Account, and at present may be quoted
88fi, and 8811 for money. The public have also
been selling in small sums. No speculations of any
