rnc,visloxAL GOVERNMENT OF GREECE.

As the augmentation of the regular troops is the bee.
means of founding the independence of Greece, and thi.
augmentation cannot be obtained without a legal re-
cruiting by means of the conscription, it is decreed:-
1. That there shall be a levy, by means of the con-
scription, through the whole of Greece, in the propor-
tion of one man from 100 of each city, town, or vil-
lage. The age of the soldiers is to be from 18 to 50
years.

2. In places where the number of theinhkbitants is not
exactly a certain number of hundreJs, the fraction, if
above fifty, is to be reckoned as a full hundred, and
furnish one soldier; if below fifty, it furnishes none.
. 3. The levy is male by all the inhabitants, from 18 to
50 years of age, drawing lots, from which no one is
exempt, unless be puts in another of the age required,
and on which the lot has not fallen, in his rr.om.

4. Only sons, and those who are proved to have some
bodily defect, are exempt.
5. One.tbird of the conscripts of each Province goes
out annually by lot, and is replaced by angther third,
so that the whole regular military force is renewed in
three years.

6. No one, however, is obliged to retire, but those
who wilt to remain, will be particularly acceptable.
The Officers engage to serve three years, an 3 are not
to be teplaced by thirds: if they retire after three years'
service, they will retain their military rank and receive
a third of their pay.
8. The present law shall be inscribed in the code of
the laws, and published.

Accounts from Corfu of 2SJ October say, that at
Missolonghi things are in the same situation as they
have been for some months. It was thought that Reds-
chid Pacha, contrary to the Turkish custom, would
continue the campaign in the winter. This opinion
seemed to be confirmed by preparations making to erect
a bridge over the Achelous (Aspropotamos), to facilitate
the Seraskier's communication with the northern
provinces.

his Owe sons and a young American named St. George,

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

. .
Saturday nit ht, an Operetta, in two sets, was 00-
doted at this Theatre,under the tile of 'Awls 1. It is
taken from a French Piece in one act, and was favour-
ably received and well performed. The plot is simple:
Georgette Clarivilk (Madame Venus), the heroine, is
acknowledged by the voice of the village as the maiden
best entitled to the bounty of the Marchioness, their
patroness, and is abnut to be crowned with whi:e r.sses,
and mill farther rewardei with a marriage portion, ac-
ording to the usage of the plane ; but envy begins to
work in the person of Madame Meggs(Mrs.DAverxeciaT)
whose niece had v •issly aspi,ed to the reward conferred
~pun Georgette. That goodly dame having espied from
;convenient window, nelorme( Mr.DurtusaT), a married
man, soa'ehing a kiss from the trembling Georgette,
hastens with the intelligence to ti,e Marchiones;. The
married man, hms ever, awareof her intention, performs
oc (aisle ceremony, in the same place, with his wife ; and
sawn the • case comes to be investigated, satisfies the
Mnrclsinaess and the assembly that he was only in-
dulging a Hole domestic gallantry o hen Madame Maggs
sopro.ed !rim engaged in an illicit amour. The-humour
arises principally from an tinderiaking on the part cif
(.rorgette's lover, blared t Mr. K way) to say " 'Twas I,"
or Ilse er to any question that might be put to him re-
lative to the aforesaid kiss. The struggle between his
veracity an., his jealou-y produced a laughable contrast.
In the end the fair Georgette is ctowned, portioned off,
and married; a•.d i.ndante Ma3gs is drummed out of
the village t as these materials are, by the aid of
excellent acting, they kept the audience merry. Mrs.l
DavEetroefs acting in the Old Maid was admirably
effective. Madame Vaavitis also played extremely
well, and gave very prettiiy some songs. selected by
Mr. WaTsosi. Seape Goat and Aladdin followed ;
and in t: e latter a rer tit of MAZtutieit's celebrated

ply ; and FARLEY was obliged to address the audience,

time arrived, and MAZ6RIER again performed the task.
At Drury-Lane Theatre, on Saturday evening, the

House was tolerably well attended.

coult r OF CiIANCEItY.

_

Saturday, Mr. HEALD moved, that the accounts of
Makin y Robes tson, Receiver of Covent GA rden Thea-
tre, of his disbursements for rent, taxes.. salaries, &c.
forthwish be allowed by the Court. These
dishussemcnts had been made pursuant to the amitotic,
%Oki' M. Robertson had received, under his.Lordshsp's
,order of May, 1824, to defray the nightly current ex-
lenses of the Theatre. The accounts in question had
been passed by the Master, hut owing to some bbjec-
tions urged a„lainst them by Mr. Const, and to the
want of the sanction of • Mr. Harris, the Master had
:eortomended the present application to his Lordship.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that it would be im-
possible tot the Court to form any judgment upon the
kerns Of such an account ; they must be judged of by the
Proptietors themselves. The only question was, whe.
ther she Receiver had acted conformably to the order
of NlA'', 1824.—That order gave the right of directing
the expenses of the Theatre to the Proprietors; and is
vas a question, whether Mr. Harris did not stand in
&relation both of partner and lessor, and whether the
term Proprietor did not include him and ali the other
mies? It there was any objection• tot e Master's
r,inctit n of these accounts, the motion • ought to have
been made by ay of exception to the Master's Report.
Mr. HEALD s id, that there was no objvction made
to the steps taken by the Mastet ;* and the only course,
therefor, wag, fOr him to move for his Lortilhip's
order for the payment of the debts included in the Re-
ceivet's account.

The Lou) Cita MAILWIL postpoped the further bearing of the cue.

The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied until nearly
elle o'clock this day in the further hearing of this
'nation ; when he strongly recommended the parties to
::tile Anrongst themselvei, as the only means of pre-
venting' the property being sold altogether. If they
mould nit agree, he would on S.iturday make such an
order as would meet the exigency of the cae, by er-
oe.ing the receiver to pass his_accaunts.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dreams S.
CUIM. CON..--PIIDLET V. BURCH.

This was an action for criminal conversation with the plaintirs
wile. The defendant pleaded the general issue.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated the case. The -at-
tendant, John Burch, was a jeweller in affluent circum-
stances, in Holborn. The Licly was one of great
eisonsl beauty, from whom the defendant made it his
:T.equent boast that he had received the last favour.
lhe facts cf the case which he had the pails to lay
before them were theses—The defendant lived in Hol-
Urn, on the opposite side to the plaintiff. The plaintiff,
'William Pedley, was the son of a respectable mineral
Mater manufacturer, and was married to his wife in
.18.19, at Hendon, when they were both under age.
As wife was the daughter of a statuary, who gave her
3001. down as her- marriage portion, with the promise
'4 more as they got on. The match was one of ardent
attachnsent. They set up in business in Holborn, in
the shell•fish line, and sold soda-water. The defendant
Perceiving that the wife of the plaintiff was very beau-
tiful, was desirous of ingratiating himself in her good
Paces, but he thought it first expedient to cultivate the
Load will of her husband. For this purpose he fre-
quently took meals in his house ; and as the situation
!cas close, he said that they wanted the benefit of the
tiesh air, and accordingly he took Mrs. Pedley out in
his gig to enjoy it before the business of the evening
began. The plaintiff's business rendered it necessary
tot him to go to market early—he had to go to B flings-
Rate by three o'clock in the morning for fish, and went
t°, bed generally about ten o'clock. The defendant
knew this, and waited with him till ten o'clock, when
would get up as the unsuspecting husband had ti,e
j candle in his hand ready to go up stairs, and say, shalt-
mg him by the hand. " Good night, my friend ; GOD
bins you I I will see you in the morning." With this
would go over to his own house and watch till the'
!Amend had gone to bed. which he could tell by seeing
lint put out the candle, for the' defendant's house
overlooked the plaintiffs window. The defendant
"field then go over to the plaintiff's wife, sit with her
Ring lobsters in the parlour, when he ingratiated him-
into her favoury. Matters went on in this way for
'ome time, till the injured husbandcoming home rather
early on One occasion, he found that his wife was out,
!td on her coming 1 ome, she was so confused by being
:tins taken by surprise, that he sent her home to her
Parents till he had made (-wilier enquiries into her
‘Lndu.t. Things had gone Wrong in the shop, and his

'huiiness had been-neglected by her in consequence of,
pursuing her criminal pleasures Ivith the
.defend4nt.
The criminal act was often to be inferred from the cir-
cumstances-of the case ; but here they had the defendant's
own confession of his guilt. He could not keep the
matter to hirnself;, he boasted of his amours in terms
with which he would not pollute the walk of the Court.
The defendant went so far as to say, that he had been
favoured even beyond the husband. But one of his
most delicate sayings was, when he had been 'seen
walking arm-in-arm with the plaintiff's wife from the
Key, in Chandos-street, by a young man—" at, BA
my boy, never mind, don't tell—you.know that a slice
off a cut loaf can never be Missed r=(Much laughter.)
There were several other things and sayings of this hu-
morous seducer, which were too brutal to be made
known. A servant saw a Lady on the floor of the room
in which was the defendant ; it was in the cot ner of the
room that they were ; it was the plaintiff's parlour.
They thought that because they were hid from the
lodgers in the house, that they were not seen ; but
they forgot, that though they were unseen within the
house, they were vi3ible to some without. Once the
defendant Wanted to go to the Lady's bed-room when
her husband was absent ; the servant said that it was
impossible, that his mistress was in bed. " Oh, never
m nd that," said the. defendant, 4‘ she will see me; tell

her to come down ; sbe.likes me better than her hus-
band." When she came down he put his arms round
her neck and kissed her, putting his hand where he
would not mention.

Evidence was called to substantiate the above charges, and sub-
mitted tc the usual vigorous cross•examination.

Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE addressed the Jury for the
defendant. He was surprised when he heard his Learned
Friend say this was his case. It was certainly a case
which he could wish had never beel brought into a
Court of Justice. Indeed it was most desirable, that
for the sake of public decency and good mlrals, there
could be some restraint put to such casts. His friend
hid alluded to the case of yesterJay, but that was a
case marked with such treachery and baseness, as called
forth the strongest feelings of disgust and horror against
the seduction and perfidy that had been practised.—
Yesterday's Casa was that of deep tragedy, but this
day's was one of farcical buffoonery. There was nothing
here of artful seduction leading is the heartless aban-
d.istment of a family. It was a case which even did
not affi:rd his friend an opportunity for the indulgence
of his luxurious imagination, nor even for the indul-
gence of a single quotation from Shakspeare, or any
other favourite poet, which, crii other occasions, he was
in the habit of using with so much effect ; but, in this
case, if he wished to indulge in quotation or poetry, he
would be obliged to resort to -the Newgate Calendar,
or St. Giles's-Pastoral—(Altrugh.) His friend WA3 wise
to repress any indulgence in observation, and leave the
case to rest on the facts. He appeased, indeed, to
slirhik from the meiltion of the plaintiff's v cation, and
instead of saying that he kept an oyster shop, hi.l re-
course to the circum!ocution of saying he was a dealer
in shell-fish. The case was brought before the Jury as
bare of all circtimst.inces by winch they might form
an opinion of the state of domestic happiness in which
the plaintiff lived with his wife, and the loss he had.
sustained by being separated from her, as could he
conceived. It was true some of the witnesses had said
enough for large inferences, but the Jury were told in
the opening that he would be traced with the plaintiff's
wife to the door of a brothel ; that they were seem

through a key-hole, &c. liistead of which, evidence
had been given that his poor, vain, petulant client had
boasted of having received favours from the plaintiff's
wife. Now his role was, never to believe the man who
makes such a boast; because, if the fact were so, that
sense of honour that-never entirely deserts human • na-
ture %fluid prevent his disclosing it. When favours of
this n 'titre were really received, they were never boasted
of. One witness, a youth, had told them that the de-
fendant had strewn him a 100 N. note, but that was a
foolish hoast to a credulous boy. A:witness had stated,
that the defendant had bt.asred in vulgar langoage of
his intimacy with the plaintiff's oife, but it was evi-
dently an idle boast that meant nothing, and only proved
that his client was a man of loose talk, but not of cri-
minal conversation—(4 laugh). The plaintiff's oyster.
shop was the natural resort of loose fish. A Learned
Judge of that Court had said, that a boast made in jest,
was not to be taken in evidence against him who used
it, and was it likely that the defendant would have said
gravely, what would fix him with damages in an action?
In all his experience of cases of this nature, lie had never
seen such a lack of evidence to prove that the parties
lived happily together. His friend had told them, that
the Lady in question was handsome; but the Ladies in
those cases were always represented handsome, as if
their favour was a great distinction, to be paid for at any
price, by the foolish men to whore it VIM granted ; just
as it was said that the fascination of• Captain Machvath's
character had excited young men to imitation, at the
risk of being hanged at Tyburn.
Cuter Junin—lt would not be sufficient to run the risk; they
should undergo the punishment. -
Mr. Serjeant SPANKIEIt has been said that the imi-
tation has been even carried that length. It was not a
good mode of enjoying the society of a wife, for a hus-
band to be getting up just as his wife was going to bed ;
that was rather too close an imitation of the heavenly
bodies, one of which rose when the other set, for terres-
trial beings. It was not • a proper performance of the
duty of a husband in the due protection of his wife. He
had been brought up at the feet of that Gamaliel, Mr.
Chitty, and by him he had been taught that defect of
fences might be pleaded in justification of a trespass.
The plaintiff in this case left his handsome wife sitting
in an oyster shop till between twelve and one o'clock,
with a gas-light before her to render the attraction
greater, while her husband was sleeping in the cock-loft,
He should not have left his wife in the midst of oysters.
spruce, and ginger-beer; if a Lady were left in such a
situation, with a gas-light to attract, a poor lel:ow
ran every risk of supposing that it was a place
where oysters and love might be indulged in to satiety.
The husband does not perform his duty•who leads his
wife into temptation. - A great philosopher, and in-
deed, common sense, said, 4. If you wish to keep your
family pure, you must protect them from the tempta-
tation to become impure." He could not see what
society the plaintiff had lost ; he and his wife, it ap-
peared, seldom came together, and this was evidently
the plaint.ff's own feeling ; for what could they think
of a husband who could remain singing in a public-
honie with a man who had deprived him of his wife?
If he were a man of any delicacy, he would have fled
from such a scene as from a serpent, instead of enjoying
the defendint's song, and giving his own in return.
That one act spoke volumes of the feeling of the
plaintiff towards his wife—lie shewed he was not
,the protector of his wife's cl.astity, nor felt its loss.

. •
••• • • •
•When a Jury gave damages, it shotild be to a man
who was. injured, and felt the injury.; but it•iitsi{ de-
rrauding virtue to give to vice that weed that b longed
ito fittueuitlx.-Thern was nothing in this case that could
warrant the most inunificent giver of daniigia; in giving
compensation to the plaintiff, s ho, it did not appear, bad
really suffered any injury. . It the Jury had s ris or brit
thers, could they conceive a greater misfortune in life,
than a young man to be brought into Court under such
calamitous circumstances—his charades degridied, and
his prospects dartened ? If, in addition to all this, they
wete to give damages, tHey would aggravate misfor-
tune into complete ruin ; and was be to get reparation
in damages, who had exposed his wife, in ;he most re-,
gardless manner, to the ruin of a young man on his en-
trance into the world., and had only found that her so-
ciety was of value to him when he c tate to demand its
price in a COurt of Law.
The Ctitie Justice, in charging the J,i!y, ob-
served, that in many cases there was no better test
than ridicule, because, if the c tse was really tidiest!.
bons, it made it appear sit ; btr, it there was no-
thing ridiculous in the cause, the u, e of it must aggra-
vale the damages it was intended to d.minish. One oilr.er-
ration he would make in the outset, that if Corby's evi
dence was true, whatever damage; they should give,
no man would think it too much for the scandalous,
the infamous conduct of the defendant. The first ques-
tion tor their consideratiiin•was. had the adultery been
committed ? On that Point he thought the evidence se
full, that he had stopped the production of more, 1..
prevent the repetition of disgusting details. Tne de•
lendant had been proved to have t • ken the most scan•
dalous liberties with the plaintiff's wife ; and it had
also been proved, that the defendant had made ri,e of
expressions which could leave no doubt on any man's
mind. 0 r a due condderation of the whole l+f the case.
they would give such damages as in their conscience:
they thought right ; and ..hatever damages they gave,
no not would pity the defendant.
The Jury were a few minutes in consultation, when
The Cuter JUSTICI said, I forgot to mention, that with respect
to the defendant's ability to pay damages, it has been proved that

prove of it.
Foreman of the Jury—My Lord, we were afraid he would not
be able to pay more.
