Ho3d, St. Pancras, for a nuisance.
Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case for the prnFeeution, in'
doing w'hich he cotrtnded, that the defen !art had
elected a certain building on a new found:t.ion, con..
Crary to an Act of Parliament made in the t..:3 I year of
the reign of his late Majesty George the Third, which
proh;bited perfons from buildintr ithin 50 feet r) the
road upon a new foundation. The Learned Gentleman

Mr. Onions, the Surveyor to the Trustees, who st...tedi
that in the year 1813 the defendant was erecting some
sheds near the Fell thing Pie Hols. , '..ct.ween Yacht ington

Learned Geatlernan called several pet suns who ha.]
many years bean residents on that spot, and whose evi-
dence went to show that there was an old dwarf wall,
which the defendant had built upon.
The Jury consulted together for a quarter of an
hour, when the Foreman inquired whether they could
be permitted to view the premises ? which, all parties
agreeing to, they left the Courefor the purpose of do-
ing, when they will return their verdict, wkich is looked
for with great interest by a number of the inhabitants

The Surrey Sessions commenced yesterday, by ad-
journment, at liorsemong.-r-lane, before 3. ScalyEu,'
Esq. Chairman, and a full Bench of Magistrates. /Co
case of importance came before them.
The Greek Committee, at Geneva, has collected
30,000 piastres by a slib;ciiption in that city ; with
which 1,077 muskets, be•ides ether articles, have been
purchased, alld transmitted to the Patriots at Napoli
di Romania.

Letters from Lemberg, in Gallicia, announce that at
the departure of the last courier, salutes of artillery had
been heard at Bender, announcing the arrival of the
Emperor Alexander in Bf!ssarribia. The Hospodar of
Moldavia had appointel two of the principal Boyards
of Jassy to compliment the Russian Monarch. The
re-assembling of Russian troops on the Pruth is said to
have had for object, to observe the movements which
might take place on the Moldavian frontier.
One of the Dutch Papers contains an article from
Antwerp,stating, on the authority (.1 a letter frnmCadiz,
that that place is for ever to be considered as belonging
to the kingdom of France; the letter-writer, after re-,
marking that France has claims, nd will act prudently
by retaining what it has in its possession, adds, 66 but
u id England suffer it ?" Certainly not, nor could France
retain it, were she so inclined, against the navy of Eng-
laad, which, when it was less p•rwerlul than at present,
took, pillared, and burnt Ca !iz ; we allude to the expe-
dition in 1596, under Lord 1-Fwarto and Sir WaLtsn,
Its LEIGH. Besities, sunk as Spa;n is now, it is not to
be supposed that her lethargic slumber will last for ever,
or that her sprit is so completely broken that she will
suffer a partition of the kingdom without a struggle.
FlRES.—Friday morning, about half-past one o clock,
the warehouse and workshop of Mr. 'Thome; Burns,
joiner and cabinet-maker, GI isgow, were again dis-
covered to be on fire. The intelligence was soon com-
municated to the Police Office, when the fire-engines
and water butts proceeded to the spot, accompanied by
Mr. Graham, Mr. Davi lson and an effective body of
Firemen and Police, but owing to the distance, the 'are
gained such power before their arrival, that all efforts
to save the buildin4 were unavailing; however, they
were fortunate enori.:ll to save the rdjoining Fr, perty,
and the very valuable stock of v and in the yard. At
the time when the whole eas one misc rf burn-
ing ruins, there was another fire in the Saltmarket.
This fire was in the ripper flit of an old tenement at the
back of London-street, occupied by a currier, and being
on the b ink of the Nlolindinar Burn, the supply of
venttr was abundant. However, the roof was cl,7stroyed.

crimes of robbery and murder,lately committed al Fyvie.
A fraud of the most extensive natdre has been disco-
vered by Mr. SUTHERLAND, Supervisor of Excise, at
Linlithgow. The parties implicated, are proprietors of
a cotton work in that neighbourhood ; who, it appears,
have been in the practice of using a forged stamp for
their printed goods, immense quantities of which have
been seized at their works, and in Glasgow.
Thursday morning, while Mr. Thomas Hatton, a
respectable victualler, at Parkhead, near Glasgow, was,

his thigh bone was broken, and his head dreadfully cut.
A bon vivant one night, told a friend that he intended
to leave 201. to be spent at his funeral, which induced
the other to ask him if the money was to be spent go-
ing or returning? "Going, to be sure," replied lie,
" for when you return, I shan't be with pu."
DELPINI, the clown, on the Prince of WALES'S refusal
to ask HARRIS to give him a benefit, said, " Very well,
Sir, den I must go to your Papa's Bench."
Cesar having found a collection of letters, written by
his enemies to Pompey, burnt them without reading :

wtaKed himself.
