SUPREME COURT OF BOMBAY, SATURDAY, Milt 8.
.
We are happy to announce. 1,0, our readers, that the
,Supreme Court of Judicaturtlltt ILA! Presidency was
this day established. A few apinutes. after 10 o'clock,
Sir Edward West, with Sir Charles Chatnbers, entered
the Court, and immediately afterwards the New Charter
of Justice was openly read and proclaimed ; after which
Sir Edward West took the oaths as Chief Justice, and
Sir Charles Chambers, as one of the Pitisnes : Sir Ralph
Rice, the other Puisne, was not arrived. Ile is notex-
pected here, we believe, for some months. Uptin the
publication of the Charter, a royal salute of 21 guns
was fired. Upon the Chief Ju.stice being swo: n in, a
salute of 17 guns was given, and Sir Charles Chambers
received one of 15 upon his taking the oaths.

310NDAY, MAY 10. •
The Supreme Court met this morning; and after the
Banisters, Solicitors, and officers of the-Court, had bein
sworn in as practitioners of the New Court,
The ADVOCATE-GENERAL rose, and 'observed to the
Court, that his Majesty had been graciously pleased to
grant him his letters patent, giving him precedence
over the rest of the bar of this Court, and moved that
the same might be read, and a copy filed, and an order
contonant thereto made : the letters patent were accord-
ingly read, and the motion complied with.
A discussion then took place, tesisecting the tight of
Mr. Morley to precedence over the other Gentlemen of
the bar—namely, Mr. Irwin, Mr. Parry, and Mr. Le
Mesurier. The three latter Gentlemen objected to
Mr. Morley's tight, upon the would that they were
Banisters called to an Inn of Court in England, wheleas
Mr. Morley had never been so called, but had merely
been permitted to act as an a.lvocate in the Recorder's
Court, upon its first institution, having been originally
an attarney. The question had been before discus,ed,
so far back as the year 1808, between Mr. Morley and
Nit-. Macklin, when the Court (Sir James Mackintosh
being at that time Itecordei) devided in faVour of Mr.
Macklin. Upon an appeal by Mr. Morley from this
decision, the Appellate Court in England efo.ed to in-
terfere at all in the matter, it being a question,. they
said, solely for the considerAtion, and at the discretion
of the local Court at Bombay. Notwithstanding the
'decision, Mr. Marley, during the Recorderships of four
of Si rJames ac ki nosh's successors, viz. Sir Alexander
Anstruther, Sir George Cowper, Sir William Evans,
and S:r Anthony Buller,' ha f been allowed to take pie.
cedence over three of the Barristers of the Court—viz.
Mr. MlNauLhtert, Mr. Stavely, and Mr. It win
After an argument of some length, the Court gave it
as their opinion, that Mr. Motley was entitled to the
precedence. In the course of the discussion Sir C.
CHAMBERS observed, that the power which this Court
had over its bar, under the Charter, was similar to that
visitatorial power which the Twelve Judges in England
bad. over the Barristers there, in respect to their privi-
leges and conduct ; and that the opinion of this Court,
therefore, upon any of the rights of the advocates prac-
tising in it, was without appeal. It was a local Court,
and was the most propel and fit judge of the merits and
qualifications of its advocates. In the local Courts in
England, and particularly, as he had noticed, in the
Mayor's Court at Chester, shortly before leaving Eng-
land, persons practising as advocates in those Courts,
though not regularly Banisters, are yet allowed, and
do take rank and precedence over the advocates who
are actually Barristers, and have been called to one of
the Inns of Cow t.

THE EVENING SI'A:~.

LONDON.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1824.

____Avourable. Half a company of work-
ea of the artillery left Bayonne on the 26th, for Cadiz.
Two companies of the 7th regiment of artillery in
garrison at Rennes, have left that city, and are expected
here on the 4th of October. Each company consists of
seventy men, including the subaltern officers.
The most profound tranquillity prevails in all the
• Provinces of the North of Spain.

THE GREEKS AND THE TURKS.
An Officer of the Danish Navy, who consmands a divi-
sion of the Greek fleet, lately wrote to his family a very
detaileJ letter, from which a public journal gives the fol-
lowing extract :
" A person who is in such a situation as I am, to) ex-
amine the -state of things in the very theatre of events,
cannot but be profoundly afflicted, when he sees how
little it would cost the Christian Powers to stop the
effusion of Christian blood in the,e unhappy countries.
--I am sure that two ships of the line and four fri-
gates, manned with European seamen, would destroy in
a single battle, all the fleets of the Sultan. The Greeks
with such means would triumph with equal ease, there
is no doubt, over their barbarous enemies; but they have
none but vessels that are too slight to bear the fire of
the heavy artillery, however ill it may be directed.
" The Turks are in all respes.ts the most detestable
seamen in the universe. The ignorance of their Cap-
tains of vessels is such, that they are often seen to make
their pilots responsible for the changes of the weather.
These unfortunatemen, most of them Greeks, compelled
to serve, are liableto be bastinadoed if a sudden change-of
the wind forces the vessel to deviate ever so little from
its course. The confusion which prevails in a day of
battle is beyond description. These stupid Alussulmen,
to whom some Journals of Germany, and even of
Prance, generously attribute chivalrous qualities, derive'
all their courage in the sight of the enemy from an im-
moderate use of opium.
" From the Captain to the meanest sailor, or artil
leryman, they are all drunk, or rather infuriated. Pro-
vided they hear the cannon make a great noise, and see
a thick smoke, they are persuaded that all goes on well.
It is pretty touch the same by land. In truth, we may
observe that out of twenty actions in a campaign, the
Greeks will be conquerors in nineteen, though with in•
ferior forces. It is only necessary to fight in very close
order, and fire as nearly as possible. The bar barians will

never make any impression on a well-exercised batta-
lion ; they will come to be slaughtered like brute beasts ;
• that is their whole merit. Their cavalry, which is so
highly spoken of, has never ventured to make a single
serious charge.
" It is beyond all doubt that negotiations have been
several times entered into to obtain a squadron from the
United States, in exchange for some Island in the Ar-
chicelago that might suit them.
" The inexplicable manner in which the European
Powers abandon these unfortunate Christians may lead
to the conclusion of a treaty with an ambitious Re- •
public in the new world, and the Cabinets will lament
their fault when it is too late ; yet history holds out to
them great and salutary lessuns.r—Freirch Paper.
