would be certain as soon as the Russians are in possession
of Sophia. The Turkish plan of impeding the Russian
armies in their principal operations, by constant attacks
on their positions, renders the contest very sanguinary on
both sides ; but this mode of attack in large masses will,
in the end, lead to the defeat of the Mussultnen.
As the cantonments on the banks of the Danube are so
very unhealthy, the advance of the Russians is the more
necessary. It seems too difficult to storm Shumla in front,
and a diversion to Sophia would therefore be very advan-
tageous. Most of the Turkish magazines are there, and
the supply from Salonichi might easily be cut off. The
main obstacle to the march of the Russians along the
coast appears to bathe want of ships to serve as transports,
for the Black Sea is like a desert compared with the acti-
vity that is seen in the Baltic Sea. Good seamen and
shipwrights are besid,s scarce.

A decree of the Emperor orders, that no slave shall

belongs, without a certificate, dated and signed by his
master, governor, factor, &c., stating the name of time

In cases of contravention, the slave offending will lie ar-
rested, and delivered to his roaster to be punished, or, if
his master is not known, to the Judge of the district.
Another decree announces, that many cases having
lately occurred of murders perpetrated by slaves on their
own Ina tees, his Majesty is pleased to declare, that as
such criminals can never be wort!'y of his pardon, sen-
tences passed on slaves for the murder of their masters shall

Lisaosr, JUNE 12.—The Board of Trade gives notice
that an official letter of the Hanoverian Consul at Lisbon,
has communicated an article of a Treaty concluded be-
tween his Britannic Majesty, as King of Hanover, and
several German States, in consequence of which the said
Consul is charged with the duty of acting as Consul for
the subjects of those States (except Bremen, which has its
own Consul). This Treaty was concluded at Cassel, in
September last, between the Kings of Hanover and

Powers concerned in foreign countries, shall protect the
interests of the subjects of all the other States, as if they
were subjects of their own Government ; each Government
to make good the expences incurred for its subjects.

LAMBETH-STREET.
Yesterday Mr. George Starkey, the superinten-
dent, as he was described, of some of the improve-
ments carrying on under the inspection of his bro-
ther in the vicinity of St. Martin's-lane, was finally
examined before the Magistrates at this office, on a
charge of having violated the person of Mrs. Cathe-
rine Glaseock, the wife of Joseph Glaseock, a trades-
man employed in the works.
The prosecutrix, a young, respectable, and well-
dressed female, was accommodated with a seat, and
having in seine measure recovered her self-posses-
sion, she proceeded to give her testimony at great
length, the substance and outline of which is as
follows :—On the morning of Tuesday fortnight,
her husband being out of employment, she went to
seek for a situation where he might obtain work.
In the course of her search, she arrived at St. Mar-
tin's-lane, and the prisoner being pointed out to
her as the principal engaged in the erection of some
new buildings, she spoke to him about taking her
husband into his employment. He agreed to do so,
saying that he would call in the course of the even-
ing to see him, and settle the terms of their arrange-
ment. He called accordingly, but her husband not
being at home, he requested her to send him to
work. On the Thursday following the prisoner
again called on her, relative to a letter which he al-
leged her husband had requested him to write to his
father ; at that interview he took no improper liber-
ties. On the Monday morning following she re-
ceived a note from the prisoner, begging of her to
call upon him at the building, mentioning as his rea-
son that he had something important to communicate
to her. She went in consequence, and on meeting
him he prevailed on her to accompany him to a
public-house in the neighbourhood, where she had a
glass of white wine and water and a pint of ale.
After this they parted, and she returned to her
lodgings in Aldersgate-street. On arriving there,
she was informed that the prisoner had called a few
minutes before, and that she had not herself come in
but a short time when, while she %V as washing some
plates, he made his re-appearance, and abruptly en-
tering into the room, threw himself upon the sofa.
In a few minutes afterwards, he suddenly started
up, pulled down the window blinds, locked the
door, and having seized her round the waist, threw
her on the fluor. She struggled and called out the
name " Henry," a young man in the house ; but
her efforts were in vain, for placing his arm over her
mouth he prevented her further calls, and accom-
plished his purpose to the fullest extent. Having
done so, be almost immediately departed, but before
doing so, he requested her not to mention what had
taken place to her husband. On 'his leaving the
house she went down stairs and told the landlady
what bad happened, and also informed her husband
when he came home that she had been ill-used by
the prisoner; but did not disclose to him the fullest
extent of her injuries until the following morning.
Mrs. Mary Phibbs was the owner of the house
where the prosecutrix and her husband lidged.—
They occupied the front room on the second floor.
She recollected letting the prisoner in on the even-
ing of Monday week, and his saying that he wanted
to see the prosecutrix. He remained for about 20
minutes, during which she heard some noise, but
could not tell .from what part of the house it pro-
ceeded. After the prisoner left, the prosecutrix
came down crying, and told her that he had treated
her very badly, and asked what she should say to
her husband. Witness asked her if he had ruined
her ? and she answered, "that he had all but done
so." She then told her, as such was the case, she
had better say nothing about it. She (witness)
heard nothing of the actual committal of the offence
until next day.
In her cross-examination by Mr. Wooler, the wit-
ness said that the prosecutrix had lived in her house
for five weeks, and during that time went by the
name of Nelson ; and in reply to the Magistrate,
that she had always kept regular hours, and con-
ducted herself with the strictest moral propriety.
The husband of the prosecutrix corroborated the
primary part of his wife's testimony, as to his being
employed by the prisoner, arid then stated, that On
his return on the evening of Monday week he found
his wife in tears, and bathing her arms .in vinegar.
He asked tier what was their cause, and she- told
him that the prisoner had called there, and had used
her very ill, and hurt her severely. She did not
then tell him the extent of his offence, but on the
following evening she did. When she informed
him of the assault, he went to Hatton-garden
police-office, to obtain a warrant; but there he was
refused, and was next sent to Worship-street, and
from thence to this office; but before he applied
here, his wife admitted to him the whole of what
had taken place; and en hearing it he, accompanied
by her, immediately applied for and procured a war-
rant for his being taken into custody on the charge
of violation. On the morning of Tuesday week he
went to the prisoner to demand his wages. On
doing so, he asked him if he was not returning to
work ? and he replied, that he could not think of
ever again being employed under such a wretch.
The prisoner then said, that he was a wretch and
a vagabond, that he had daughters older than his
(witness's) wife, and was an old married man. He
also said that the prosecutrix was a most virtuous
woman, and he had tried every means to seduce her
but without success.
The MAGISTRATE asked, did any thing more
pass ? Witness—There did : be said there was no
use in expecting to get any money from him, and
accompanied the observation by remarking, that he
had at one time assaulted a Scotchman's wife, and
that the proceedings in that affair, together with
counsel, &c. had cost him over 3001. He (witness)
said he wanted no money, and that all he wished for
was to make an example of him.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wooler—He was mar-
ried in January last. The reason he went by the
name of Nelson was, in consequence of a difference
subsisting between him and his friends. He was
not aware that the prisoner had seen his wife in

The Journal des Debuts announces the exe-
cution of Gatorrr, whom the Prefect of Corsica so in-
considerately surrendered to the vengeance of the Neapo-
litan Government. Public opinion in France, both as ex-
pressed through the Chambers and the Journals, will
brand this act of fraud and cruelty with a just indignation.
The Neapolitan Government, aware that the French Mi-
nistry would never give up a political offender, especially a
person whose only crime was an imprudent attempt to
establish a constitution like that of Trance, claimed
Gatorn as an 'assassin and highway robber. Yielding
too easily to solicitations, the , very eagerness of which
ought to have excited suspicion, the French authorities
permitted his arrest. The unfortunate man was hurried
on board a Neapolitan brig, carried to the shores of Naples,
and on his debarkation was met with a gallows and execu-
tioners. The French Government will neglect its duty
unless it insists on tie most ample reparation for this in-
sult offered to its dignity, and this atrocity perpetrated by
a fraud upon its authority.

About half-past twelve o'clock on Monday
night, a fire broke out at the Spread Eaele public-house,
Pratt-street, Lambeth, kept by W. FRANCES. The
servant-maid, whose duty it was to see that all was right
before going to bed, perceived a strong men of fire. She,
however, went to bed, and about half an hour afterwards
the flames burst forth front the skittle-ground. The watch-
man, Oa perceiving the smoke and flame, instantly alarmed
the inmates, who all got nut safe ; and by the timely ar-
rival of the parish engine the fire was got under, but not
until the back part of the premises were reduced to a heap
of ruins,

It is generally understood that Ashton-under-
line, near Manchester, is the Jerusalem of the Southcoto-
nians, or "Modern Israelites," who, during their " Feast
of the Passover," come hither from all parts of the United
Kingdom. The Passover commenced this year, at sunset,
on the 29th of May, and was continued until the same
hour on the 30th ; the whole of which was spent within
their tabernacle, or temple, none being allowed to enter,
save persons of their own creed. At the termination of
the feast, they all came forth, and repaired to a brook in
the neighbourhood, which they crossed, in imitation of the
Israelites crossing the Red Sea. The greater part of the
succeeding week was also spent in religious ceremonies, at
which many persons from Yorkshire, and from the South
and West of England, assisted.—Leeds Mercury.

STOCKPORT.—We are happy to learn that
the tutu out in this town, which has continued six months,
is nearly at adend. Several of the factories have been
filled this week with their old hands, and above all; the

of all the distress, seems to have passed away.--3fueeles-

Sunderland harbour, immediately after the
late immense arrival of light ships, presented rather a sin-
gular aspect from the pier. The river, as far as the eye
could penetrate, was literally blocked up with vessels, and
their masts appeared to be blended into one solid mass.—
The subsequent removal of many et them higher up the
river has diminished the confusion in si great measure, and

It was some time ago mentioned, that, owing
to the depressed state of the manufacturing business, about
500 tailors were unemployed in the city. Since that time
a considerable improvement has taken place in this depart-
ment of trade; and at the present time, comparatively few
are unemployed.— Glasgow Chronicle.

STATE OF TRADE.—We are glad to find
that the improvement we have lately had occasion to
notice in trade continues, as regards most of the heavier
articles of production. The demand for mule yarns, of
the common shipping numbers, It is been considerably
better ; and large sales have been effected, at prices which
buyers previously held out against. Water twist is still in
great request. In fine yarns, however, we hear of no
amendment. Printing cloths and some. other descrip-
tions of manufactured goods continue brisk, though
without any advance in prices ; and some of the calico
printers are very busy, The accounts from two or three
of the new American states speak of a revival of demand ;
and, on the whole, we find little exception to the opinion
that, should we be blessed with a good harvest, a decided
and general amendment in trade may be confidently anti-
cipated.—Manchester Mercury.

Mr. Nott, a surgeon in Aldersgate-street, deposed
to his having been called in to see the prosecutrix
on the evening of the day after the alleged offence
took place. On examining her person he found
several bruises, such as would be produced
by severe violence. When he attended her, neither
she nor her husband informed him of the cause that
produced them, but he had since learned it, and he
thought it probable that her resistance to an attack
of the kind described would account for them.
This closed the evidence, and Mr. Wooler ad-
dressed the Bench on the part of the prisoner, after
which he was committed for trial.

coach from Bristol to Caine was fined 51., for allowing an
