TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
chug injustice has been awe to Mr. Julius MiUingen
by the Ores& Nevngsper,'Wbich has stated that this-Gentlensan
had deserted to the Egyptian, taking with him the instruments
furnished by the English Greek Committee..
Mr. Millingen was taken prisoner by Ibrahim Picha, at Navarima,
and forced to accompany him after he had urgently and vainly in-
treated the interference of tbtßritisb Naval Commander in Lis be-
half. I bats received letters from him, bewailing his unfortunate
fate, and imploring the intervention of the British Government in
his favour. I hope that any English Newspaper which may have
circulated this calumnious accusation against an amiable, intelli-
gent, and high-minded Eneishwars, will also insert its refutation.
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, JOHN BOWRINO.

EXTRAORDINAUY CASE.

Mari Blinks, a Qnakeress of very demure appear-
ance, and who had been considered a very respectable
woman, was examined before the Blighten Bench of
Magistrates, charged by Mr. John Snow, c ,ach pro-
prietor, with feloniously- taking from his drawers six
sovereigns. Mr. Snow stated, he had lodged at the
prisoner's house, No. 39, Gardener-strezt, for upwards
of two years; that on last Saturday three weeks he
left 1101. in his drawer (which was locked), 661. in
notes, and 441. in sovereigns; that cn the Monday fol-
lowing, lie found that six sovereigns had been taken
away, as there were only SS left; his suspicion wasl
immediately awakeneJ, as he had previously missed
sums, but bad never suspected being robbed at his
lodgings ; however, be was determined to be further
satisfied of the fact, and accordingly, on the following
morning (Tuesday), he put 33 sovereigns, which were
marked, and also some notes, into his drawer, which
he locked. When he went home the same night he
found time sovereigns were missing. He
.tt;en went
to see the Magistrates early on Wednesday morning,
but as they were not at home, immediate meaarres
could not be taken. &inches night, September 25th,
lie again put 45 sovereigns and 44 notes, marked by
himself and a friend, into the said drawer ; the next
morning, whea be went home to breakfast, at about
half•liast eight o'clock, he found six more sovereigns
were gone. He then sent frr an officer, having pre-
viously got a warrant to search the house. After hav-
ing searched four rooms, and the prisoner finding the
next room to be searched was where the stolen sove-
reigns were concealed,. " I have some. money in
my writing-desk in the schnol-room (it appeared the
prisoner kept a school 1), which, I am sure, thee will
claim as thine directly thee see it, but it is not thine;
but I know—l am quite certain 'thee will swear it is
thine. I am sure I never robbed thee of a penny in
all my life, but I know thee will swear to it." Here
Mr. Snow said the officer very properly reminded the
prisoner of the wicked tendency of her language; and
said, " You forget Mr. Snow has seen money in your
drawer up stairs, and also money in your pocket-book,
which he has not claimed." The prisoner said it was
money that had been given to her by different friends
as presents, and she bad put it by to pay some bills
with. The desk was then examined, the prisoner pro:
duced the key, and the officer unlocked it,' and the•
prisoner took out the identical six sovereigns. Mr. Snow'
then looked at them, and then called his friend Mr.
Gill, and asked if they were his sovereigns? Mr. Gill
said he could swear to every one of them, having put a
private mark on each. Mr. Snow then said he could;
also swear to their being his sovereigns : still the pri•
sorer stoutly denied having taken them, or that they'
belonged to Mr. Snow. Mr. Gill swore to the sove-
reigns now produced ; trey were the same as he had
mat ked. Pilbcint, the officer, also corroborated the
above statement, and also the finding of a key in the
possession of the prisoner, which unlocked the drawer.
The prisoner had nothing to say in her defence, aid
was fully committed to Horsham Jail, to take her trial
at the Assizes.

Two merchant vessels laden with stores for the Greeks,
cleared out at the Custom-house on Saturday.
The new building, named the Asylum for Female
Orphan Children, in the Westminster-road, is now
finished, and open to the public view. The front is
plain, but a neat specimen of architecture.
Sunday morning, about nine o'clock, a dreadful fire
broke out on the premises on Temple Backs, Bristol,
lately occupied by the Coal Gas Company, but since
converted into a manufactory of Plaister of Paris. It
burnt with such fury that in less than twenty minutes
the destruction of the premises was complete.
The banking establishment of WARS, PRIDEAUX,
and Co. Knightsbridge, stopped payment on Wednesday.
Sunday morning, between eight and nine, as a young
man, named Hurstway, was bathing in the Regent's
Canal, after having swam across, he suddenly sank.
Two men, who ob4rved the accident, immediately
stripped, and endeavoured to find the body, but the rope
of the drag breaking. so much delay was occasioned.
that when it was brought ashore by the clerk to Mr.
TORRINGTON, coal-merchant, life was mine,. The
body was immediately conveyed 'to the Maidenhead,
Battle-bridge. and the usual process to restore anima-
tion adopted, but without success.
The Registries for the county•of Dublin have greatly
increased since the contest in 1823. It is well known
that nearly every freeholder was brought to the poll,
and yet the total number of voters was only 1,854.
There are now, we understand, above 5,200 names upon
the books, and they are still increasing.
Biers, the informer, is down at Winchester, and has
obtained summonses against several bakers there, for
making unwholesome bread.
A strolling player, the Braham of the company,
arriving at a country town with his wife, himself on
foot and the lady on a donkey, the Manager, on meet-
ing them, addressing the latter, exclaimed, is So here's
Orpheus on foot, and You-rid-l-see.—(Eurplice)
By advices from Tripoli, we learn that that enter-
prising traveller, Mr. LAING, left that city on the 18th
of July, with a large caravan destined for Timbuctoo.
The time occupied in travelling the distance is about
100 days, so that by this time he is far on his -way to
that celebrated city. It is by no means improbable,
that, descending the Niger from Timbuctoo, as is his
object, he may meet, on the territoties of the Sultan of
Sockato,, his countryman and fellow-traveller, Major
CLAPIPERTON, ascending the river from the Bight of
Benin. Both will reach the points from whence they
commence their researches, regarding the middle course
and termination of that celebrated stream, at the. close
of the rainy season; and Major LAINO, in particular,
will reach Timbuctoo at a period of the year, when,
allowing a few weeks for refreshment and repose after
the fatigues undergone in the passage of the Great
Desert, he will be able to start with the commencement
of the dry season, to follow out the ultetior objects of
his journey.
