ST. TETEJRSBURGII, NOVEMBER 27.

As the inundation has destroyed all the bridges over
the Neva, and made the cominunication between the
different parts of the city very difficult, his Majesty has'
by a dec'ee f the 22d, appointed Military Governors'
pro temporc, for the several quarters of the city, under
t Governor-Genetal,Miloradowitsch, for the pur-
pose of affording more speedy and efficacious succour
to the sufferers.

The Conservateur reports, that of all the establish-
ments, in which a great number of workmen were em-
ployed, it seems that the Imperial foundry, on the
road to Peterhof, suffered the most, and a great many
persons perished. It is impossible to paint the grief
that overpowered his Majesty when he visited the spot-
Cin tire 23d, the Emperor visited the scenes of desolation
in the city and neighbourhood, walked about among
the ruins without attendants, condoled with the suf-
ferers, and assured them that they should be relieved.
Entire villages arc swept away ; the Sailor's Island,
Cutueuskeoi Island, Emilianotika, Olewa, Liachta, and
Catharinenhof, and the foundry and iron manufactory
at lila4e (four vents from the city), are entirely de-
vastated. The galley harbour in Wassiliostrow is so
ruined that it cannot be seen whether licu,es or streets
ever stood there. The imperial Islands of Yelagin and
kammenoi-ostrow have suffered very much : most of
the counting-houses are in danger of falling. All the,
wooden bridges are broken down—Gostinoi-door was
'Lore than an arsheen under water, and consequently
all the splendid shops in the Newski Perspective.
At Crenstade, the sea rising over the great battery,
laid the whole town under water, and tl.e inhabitants
ete liaced to take refuge in the second stories. May
me.cliairtmen have perished; the Imperiarnavy suf
fried fs,uenrely, and a ship of the line, of 100 guns
stands in the great square. Above 100 persons are
missed there. The Isaac's bridge is destroyed, and its

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, DECEMBER la.

BELL AND BROTHER V. comm.
This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who are
extensive ship-owners, to recover a compensation in da-
mages for loss sustained, in consequence of the defend-
ant, who is an extensive bkscuit-baker, having supplied
their ship, Copernicus, with biscuit that was unsound,
and unfit for human food, as provision for a voyage to

the South Sea.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated the case for the plain-
tiffs at considerable length.
Captain McGregor, of the plaintiffs' ship Copernicus,
stated that he was about to sail to the South Sea to fish
for whales, on account of the plaintiff-, in October, 1821,
when the defendant applied to him to take his bread for
the voyage from him. He introduced the defendant to
the plaintiffs, and they agreed to take half the bread
from.) him. It was accordingly shipped on board on the
6th of October, 1821, in bags and casks, about two cwt.
in all. The defendant at the time proposed to witness
to buy some old bread, that had been a voyage to the
South Sea before, which he declined, it being the plain.
tiffs' express desire tkat no provision of any kind should
be taken but the best. The vessel sailed soon after the
bread was shipped, and the defendant's bread, in bags,
was first served to the crew, and found good. On the
11th of November they opened the first barrel of his
bread, when it was found that the bread in the centre of
the cask was old and bad, having Lead weavels and
cockroaches in it. They then used the bread purchased
from the other persons, which was all good ; and s. ben
at sea about 18 months, were again obliged to resort to
the defendant's bread, which was so bad and bitter, that
even the pigs refused to eat it, and lie was obliged to
throw it overboard; and the crew might have suffered
great distress, had he not procured bread from a vessel
he met at sea, and also at St. Helena. Four of the crew
confirmed this statement.
Serjeant WILD addressed the Jury for the defendant,
and called four of his workmen, who all proved that all
thy bread packed and shipped for the plaintiffs was new
bread, and fairly packed. They all admitted that the
defendant had a quantity of old bread in casks; and
Mr. Charles Curtis, who is an extensive biscuit-baker,
stated, that weavels would get out of old bleu' in casks
in a bakehouse, and get into new bread, and soon injure it.
The CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury, that the case
was important to that meritorious class of men on whom
tiv country mainly depended for its security and pro-
sithity--;-seamen. If they believed the plaintiffs' wit-
nesses, and he could see no reason why they should not,
(they were clearly entitled to their verdict. •
The Jury, after a short conslltation, returned a Me
diet for the plaintiffs—Damages £BB 19s. 9d.

GUILDHALL

Some three or four weeks ago, Mr. John Reeve, pawnbroker,
Snowhill, attended by Mr. Harmer, as his Attortiey, appeared at
this office, before Mr. Alderman Mmanav, ti shew cause why he
refused to deliver up a tea chest pledged with him, the same having
been unlawfully obtained from 'Mr. Woolfit, upholsterer, St. Paul's
Church-yard, and pawned without his privity ur authority.
The facts of the case were these : Goods to the amount of about
£lO, of which this tea-chest formed a part, had been fraudulently
obtained from Mr. \Voolht, by a fellow of the name of Ritchie,
who pretended he came from a Mr. Teaby, a customer at Mr.
Woolhes, and fur this fraud Ritcbie had been tried and convicted
at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to seven years' transportation.
By the 13th section of the Pawnbrokers Act, authority is given
to the Magistrate, where any goods or chattels have been unlaw-
fully obtained and pledged without the privity cr'authority of the
owner, upon proof of the facts, to order the same to be forthwith
restored to the owner or owners thereof. There was no question
between the parties as to the facts; but Mr. Harmer, for the de-
fendant, contended that the Magistrate bad no authority in this
case, inasmuch as 11r. Wbolfit was no longer in law the owner of
this property, it having been obtained by fraud and not by felony;
and he laid it down as the principle of distinction between fraud
and felony, that in the latter, although the owner, by the theft, was
deprived of the possession, be did not lose his right to the pro-
perty ; but in cases of fraud, suck as•obtaining under false pre-
tences, the right, as well as the possession of the property was
parted with.
Notice having been given to the paides on each side, they at-
tended before Mr. Alderman Macitsav min yesterday, when the
City Solicitor stated that the Alderman, under his advice, was of
opinion that under the 13th section of the Pawnbrokers Act, the
owner or owners must be taken to mean the original owner Or
owners from whom the property had been unlawfully obtained or
taken in the first instance, and that any other construction of the
words owner or owners would render the clause altogether absurd
and wholly ineffective, and consequently that the objection taken by
Mr. Harmer was not good.—The Magistratetherefore directed that
the property should be restored to Mr. Woolfit.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Extremes alumna raosscustons.— A person who entered into
'recognizance. for the appearance of two men, named James Smith
and James Hudson, at the last London Sessions, both of whom ap-
pealed against their conviction before the Loan Mayon as rogues
and vagabonds, applied to the LORD MAYOR, to complain of what
he and several others of the Public considered to be a very se-
rious grievance.
The complainant stated, that the men whom he and another per-
son bailed for the misdemeanour, had appeared at the London Ses-
sions at the time, according to the recognizances; and that the:
prisoners had failed in their appeal, the judgment of the Loan
MAYOR having been affirmed by the Court. That the prisoners
were now in custody, and suffering the penalty of the law; and
that he (complainant) and the other bail c•mcluded, that they, hav-
ing performed their duty, were nor liable to be called upon for any
expenses, and were not a little surprised at receiving a notice from
Mr. Shelton, ;ening forth that Smitiatnd Hudson had not appeared,
and that complainants' recognizances were estreated. On going to
the Office, they were required to pay 194. 4d. the amount of the
discharge of the recognizances. This they refused to do • and
thinking the demand most extraordinary, applied to his Lordship.
The LORD .%lAres was surprised at the statement, and said there
must be some mistake at the office : Mr. Shelton should be applied
to on the subject.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEC. 15.

.
John Noad was opposed' by Mr. HEATII, for Josiah
Piggot. The insolvent, in the coarse of his examina-
tion, took a pocket-book from his pocket, and referred
to some papers in it. Mr. Heath desired that the
pocket-book might be handed to him, and on inspect-
ing its contents, he found a letter in it, written by a sta-
tioner to the insolvent, stating that he had sent him
two receipt stamps, as directed by his wife. Not
Shaving
accrunted for the proceeds of certain fixtures, the in-
solvent was examined as-to the use he had made of
these two stamps;but hlz; answers were so unsatisfactory,
that the Coin t ordered his petition to be dismissed.
James fienley, late of Bethnal Green, toll-collector,
was opposed by Mr. COOKS, for Mr. W. J. Carpenter,
one of the Attot nies of the Court.
Considerable doubt existeJ in this case, whether the
Insolvent was not his own prisoner; therefore, after
Many preliminary inquiries, he was rigidly interrogated
as to his knowledge of Mr. Cotsford, his detaining cre-
ditor, when the insolvent 'stated, that be was a broker
in Bishopsgate-street, but be had not heard from him
directly or indirectly for several weekse
He was then asked, whether he had not a regular dis-
Charge to that action in his pocket, properly, marked
with the Red Seal of the Sheriff? This he denied, but
at length said he had one discharge, but that related to
another action.
An attorney of the name of Brewer contradicted this
statement, by declaring that he gave the Insolvent a
discharge to both actions.
Upon hearing this statement the Court observed that the Insol-
vent had no occasion to petition fur relief, as, iu point of fact, he
was nn prisoner.
This Petition was immediately dismissed.

KONIGSBURG, DECEMBER 2.

Letters from St. Petersburg!' state the losses to be
much greater than was at first supposed. In the city
alone, 5,000 persons are said to have perished; only a
smallpart of Cronstadt is reported to be standing. The
loss iii raw sugars is seven millioits of rubles, 500,000
poods-of hemp are partly wet and partly washed at, ay.
His Majesty has ordered a Committee of Custom-house,
Officers and Merchants, to examine into the eitent of
the damage done to goods deposited in the mapzines
of the Custom house.

The whole loss, for St. Pctersburgh, is esti .•ated at
eighty millions of silver rubles, without reckoning the
damage done to the buildings. A letter from Berlin
estimates the whole at 130 millions of rubles banco, of
which thirty-five millions fall on the merchants. The
loss in refined sugar is estimated at ten millions of rubles.

DANIEL V. WOOS,
The plaintiff in this case had been an apprentice to
the defendant, who is i'currier, but was now out of his
time, and az. the event proved was out of his reckoning
also; he sought to recover of his quondam master the
sum of 1/.los. The defendant denied that he owed
him anything, and stated that he, could not conceive
'What charge was to be brought against him. The plain;
tiff was then called on to state has case; he did so, and
it was something like the following :—As long ago as
last August, and before he was out of his time, he
had a bat of a row with his muter, the currier, in the
'counting-house attached to his warehouse; that fiorit
*ords his master came to blo..vs, and having so much to
do with fiulfocks' hides he set about currying that of the
plaintiff, a la Randall; and that in fact he was corn
`pletely leathered, and kat only so, hut upon one of his
master's straight-forward:hits
,taking place upon his
sneerer, he wai obliged to make an unwilling summerset
in the Grimaldi style; in'doing Which feat, and upon
_regaining his feet, he found that besides being defeated
in the contest, he had spik all his money from his waist-
coat and breeches pockets, and which from that day to
this he had never recovered. The amount said to have
been lost was 14 10s. which he tried to make out in a
ofry• unsatisfactory' way, talking about copper,, silver,
and a half sovereign. Upon' hearing the master' .fiosel
ever, it appeared that this was not the first time Daniel
had come for judgment, for he had taken his master to
Bow-street for the assault, where however he took: no-
thing by his motion, as the lawyers have it, which was
also his misfortune in the present case, for the Data
held, that even if he had lost his money in the way de-
scribed, which it did not believe, still it was not a debt.
The case was therefore dismissed, the costs •f hearing
being paid by Daniel, who seemed to think he had gut
into a den of lions.

THE GREEKS.

The following is an extract froni a letter dated in
Ancona, on the 15th March, 1824:=" Letters have'
been received from Missolonghi of the 4th (16th) Feb.
which state that the utmost harmony and union con-'
'tinued to prevail amongst the Chiefs assembled there,
and that the soldiers and officers observed the .strictest
• discipline. The military force consisted of 3,000 sol-
diers, amongst whom were 600 Suliots, and their pay
was thirty piastres a 'man monthly. - Lord Byron, who
had assumed the Grecian uniform, with 1,000 men,
raised from his own means, in addition to the above
000 men, and the 600 Suliots, under the command of
Constantine Botz.nis, was at this date about to attack
Lepanto, which it was generally supposed Could not'
long resist this large reinforcement to the troops previ-,
ousiy in front of the two cattles. After their reduction,'
the castle of PAtras would attract their attention, and
from. the known weakness of the garrison, it was not
supposed that it could resist a regular siege many days.
There WAS a mariblactory of cannon, balls, and gun-
powder, at Missolonghi, which rendered all these neces-
saries of war. plentiful. On the 15th February an ex-
ress arrived from the Morea, announcing that the for-

BOW-STREET-THIS DAY.

A scene of indescribable clotution took place night, or rather
early this morning, by the discovery that M. Roben, a French
teacher, had been robbed at the King's Theatre. The circum-
stances were rather singular. The complainant being wearied, went
into the Waterloo and fell asleep ; he, however, did not rest long,
and on awaking he fuund that his hat, a Hebrew Grammar, and
other property, was gone. He had the precaution tcemake his case
instantly known to the Police, two of whom went into the The-
atre, leaving Mr. Roben outside. In a few minutes he saw a
woman coming out with the book in question; he charged her as
the thief, and she in turn called out most lustily for a person named
Smith, who came to her assistance, and to the astonishment of Mr.
Rotten, he found he had actually got his hat on. Smith was ac-
cordingly taken into custody,and this day brought up for examination.
In answer to the complaint, Smith said be Was a journeyman
Taylor ; and h:tving had a check given him to go into the Theatre,
he did so accordingly, and took his seat on a sofa. He, also, fell
asleep, and was awoke by a person giving him the hook to take to a
person in the centre of the room : on his return, he found his hat
was also gone, and the one in question left in its stead. The hand-
kerchief, he said, he had bought of a Jew.

. . _
Mr. lIALLs said the story was rather curious, but in order to
give lihn an opportunity of clearing his character, reirancled him
till Wednesday, and directed the officers to make the necessary in-
gullies into his character.

opinion that the gallant Officer had some other interest
than the landed interest in his view when he introduced
the present motion.
Colonel WOOD said, that it seemed the Honourable
Member for Saltash would not countenance the mea•
sure, if the railway were to pass through his estate. If
he wanted the railway made, let him take all the disad-
vantage* of its! well as the advantages. It appeared
that if the road passed through that Honourable Mem-
ber's property, it would be two miles less in reaching
the sea than in passing the circuitous way it was pro-
posed. h was often an advantage, doubtless, in com-
panies establishing themselves to care on works; but if
in the county of Durham there was no desire to receive
the assistance of the Company which had been esta-
blished for effecting the proposed railway, it was compe-
tent for the inhabitants of that county to reject such aid.

BOXING.

In the vociferous discussions which took place over the match-
making between Spring an/ Langan on Saturday, Burns challenged
to fight Langan as yesterday morning, acid money was deposited,
but arrangements were meanwhile made, and the deposit was with-
drawn. Many persons were hoaxed that the battle would be fought
at Wimbledon, and from thence they were led to Tooting, before
the hoax was discovered; but a fight was resolved upon, and R.
Davis and Matthews turned to for a purse of £5, and they made
a very merry earnest fight of eight roondt. Matthews led off at
fit at very gallantly, and floor d his adversary in the first two rounds.
The battle was bravely and equally maintained iu the 3d, 4th, sth,
and 6th rounds, in the last of which Matthews was floored by a
heavy right-handed hit, which broke his noir, and set the claret
flowing in torrents. In the 7th round, Matthews was all abroad,
and in the otli he was hit out of time by a body b:ow, and Davis
won in 20 minutes.

LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

We had yesterday peculiar pleasure in witnessing
what was to us quite a novel scene. We saw the large
room of the London Coffee Home, on Ludgate-hill, con.
verted into a spacious shop, and exhibiting for sale a large
variety of rant, useful, and ornamental articles, con-
tributions by young Ladies, and the produce of the
laudable occuuation of those hours of leisure which fe-
males in the higher walks of life cannot but find, and
which sometimes seek for means of improvement. Those
hours and talents which a liberal education has fostered
to a high degree' of perfection, have been devoted to
the benefit of the untaught Heathen, through the me.
dium of the London Missionary Society. Purses, paint-
ings, ottomans, jars, needle-work in the highest style
of ornament, and an endless variety of temptations,
were placed on the well-stored counters, while the elderly
Ladies behind them conducted the market, and strewed
no inconsiderable degree of cheerful aptitude in the ex-
hibition of their articles in this novel Bazaar. The
younger Ladies (the Artists themselves) were near, and
no doubt heard with pleasure the encomiums which
were so very justly passed on their " savoirfaitc." The
room was, throughout the day, under the care of some
of the Directors c,f th' Missionary Sciety, who could
not but be gratified with this generous and pious offer-
ing of youth to the great cause in which themselves
were so much engaged; and was thronged from eleven
till between four and five o'clock with genteel com•
pally, who apparently were willirg customers, encou-
raging this free-will offering of the juvenile branches of
religious families, and the hope of the Christian world.

PRRNCII SQUADRON orr TUE BRAZILS.

Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, in rising to present a
Petition, took the opportunity which this purpose af-
forded him of putting a question to .the Right Hon.
the Secretary of State. He was induced to do so from
the rumours which were prevalent of a French naval
force having appeared of the coast of the Brazils.—
Those rumours had spread to a considerable extent ; and
as he (Sir J. Mackintosh) had reason to know, as well
from public sources as from private information which
had reached him, they had exercised a great influence
over all the commercial classes of this country, by the
apprehensions to which they had given birth, it was in
the sincere hope that the answer of the Right Hon.
Gentleman would remove those apprehensions, that he
begged now to ask him, whether his Majesty's Govern-
ment had reason to believe that a French squadron had
actually arrived off the Brazilian coast? And if they
had, whether an explanation had been demanded and
received by the Government as to the cause of the ap-
pearance of that force; and further, whether the reply
which had been received was such as to confirm or to
remove the alarm which had been occasioned by the ap-
pearance of the squadron ?
Mr. Secretary CANNING had no objection to reply,
as far as he was able, to the questions of the Honourable
Member. It was true that a few French ships arriving
from different destinations had reached the port of the
Brazils together. The rumours which had got abroad
in consequence of this circumstance originated, he be-
lieved, in the statement of some of the French Officers
that they exrected more ships to join them in that port.
He (Mr. Canning) had already demanded and received
such an explanation as the French Ambassador resident
here was enabled to give ; and from that explanation he
had every reason to believe that the statement of the
Officers, and the rumours which it had occasioned, were
altogether false. He had also demanded an explanation
from the French Government, and he had no doubt
that the lapse of a few days would enable him still more
satisfactorily to contradict the report which had occa-
sioned so much alarm.

BREACH OF CONTRACT.-RODWELL V. KEDGE.

Mr. SCARLETT said, that the plaintiffs were the pro•
prietors of the Adelphi Theatre, who had, in their
anxiety to secure popular entertainments for the public,
made an engagement in the course of last year with the
defendant, Mr. Paul Redge, who was an eminent comic
performer, particularly in the amusing part of clown,
and better known by the name of Signor Paulo. This
Gentleman's engagement was for the two ensuing sea-
sons after June, 18'23, and he had performed for a short
time at the Adelphi Theatre; but he removed himself
in the month of August after, without notice, and, as
was understood, had accepted an engagement at one
of the Winter Theatres, in contravention of that ..hick lie.
had previously contracted with the Proprietors of Cie
Adelphi Theatre.
The contract was read, dated June, 1823, fir the
' Signor's performance dui ing the two successive seas im,
at the Adelphi Theatre, at 31. per week. Flay house pay,
and to have liberty to send in 2.5/. of benefit tickets once
during next season.
Mr. Lee, the Stage-manager, knew Signor Paulo, and
also that he had not fulfilled his engagement.
Mr. MARRYATT submitted, that the defendant had
made his contract with one of the proprietors, and not
with the firm generally, in the names of which this
action was brought.
Mr. SCARLETT insisted that the action, in its present
form, was legally tenable.
After some conversation between the Learned Coun-
sel, Mr. SCARLET?, for the plaintiffs, consented to re•
ceive a verdict of 40s. damages, and 40s. costs.

LAT, REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 3.
DAVIS U. RUSSELL.

This was an action for an excessive distress for rent.
The plaintiff also bought the action as for a trespass,
it being contended that Russell had no claim at all as
landlord, and therefore that no rent was due to him.
The plaintiff resided in... Church-street, Fulham, and was
a carpenter. On the 20th December defendant put a
distress in the house, by forcing his way into the win-
dow, and then let in a broker, named South, who put a
man in possession. The following day South came
again, and said that Russell was determined to remove
the goods, and proceeded to remove the children's
bedding, and drag out the stoves in the middle of
winter. It alzo appeared that, on the sale, some portions
of the articles were sold for less than their value. The
plaintiff's chest of tools were put up, and immediately
knocked down to South for half a crown. On the part
of the defendant, it was attempted to be shown that
the defendant was the landlord of the house where
plaintiff resided.
The LORD Cuter Justice was of opinion, that Rus-
sell's title was not made out, and therefore that hii en-
tering to make the distress was wrong.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages
Fifty Pounds.
