Accounts from Constantinople, to the 26th ultimo,
confirm the accounts of the disasters of the Turks in
the Mores. At the date of the latest advices, the
Turkish army, greatly reduced by a succession of re-
verses, WAS surrounded by the Greek!.
AJvices from Bahia of the Ist ult. state, that an
attempt had been made by General MADEIRA to ob-
tain possession of the island of Taporica, but without
asnccess. The event is only worth notice as skewing
tae spirit with which the Brazilian troops are ani-
mated. Taporica being the place from whence St.
'Salvador is supplied with vegetables, and its session
important therefore for the supply of the rarrison,
Mane' ItA, on the morning of the 28th of August, de-
tached 200 Portuguese troops on board a somata, to'
take post on the island. On approaehing the shore,l
they found a party of Brazilians, nearly equal in
number, on the beach to receive them. Ihe Por-
tuguese troops landed, bnt were attacked so vigor-
ously, that out of their little detachment eighty were
taken prisoners ; and refusing to submit to certain
conditions imposed by the •victors, were subsequently
all put to the sword. The Commandor of the Bra-
zilian troops was Colonel FILISRERTO CAEDEIRA
Cows, one of the persons sent prisoners from Bahia
to Lisbon, but set at liberty by order of the Cortes.

etit—Observing an article in a Morning Paper of this day,'
In which it was stated that the object of harms Las Cases visit
to England, was to sell his father's manuscript, I feel myself
called upon to state, that this assertion is nut correct. Early in
September last, a friend of Court dt Las Casts applied to me re-
lative to the publication in question, ,and a few days after, being
in Paris, I concluded the negociatien for the purchase, and sent,
a part of the work to London. During my absence, I under-
stood theyoung Las Cars rolled, in company with Mr. O'Meara,
fur the purpose of inspecting the Napoleon Memoirs, but he cer-
tainly took no part in the negotiation, and I have been assured
that he never received any instructions whatever relative to the
disposal of his father's work. I am, Sir,

more, to let him have them.
Mr. Smith, a goldsmith, proved having received

—Mr. John Ebers, bookseller, of Bond-Meet, de,

Mr. ARANIN addressed the Jtiry for the primer,
whom he stated to be a person of respectable family
and good expectations,_ end whom a verdict of guilty
would probably ruin for ever.. His friends had ob.
tained for him a situation abroad, to e hich the sea-
tence of a Court of Justice might prevent his ap-
pointment; and hoped the Jury would acquit him.
No witnesses were called upon the pea of the pr
sorer„ who hung down his head during the trial, ?nct
seemed to be much ashamed of his situation. Vu:.
diet—Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN then asked wl:ether there was ani.
hope of a situation for the unfortunate young man
Some respectable persons in the body of the Court
stated, that the place was ready for him. They aided,
that it was the first time he-had acted in such a ratan
ner as to deserve the imputation of dishonesty.
The COURT then said, that as it appeared that ttz
prisoner had been led to the commission of the
fence by idleness, and not by depravity, he should
not be called up for judgment, but be bound urea
his own recognizances to appear when called upon.
The young man then bowed and retired.
A ruffianly fellow, named Davey, was tried for
committing a most gross and unprovoked assault crt
a respectable man named Week, and his wife.
It appeared that the fellow had, as the prosecutor
and his wife were passing along rentonville, seized
Mrs. Week in his arms, told her husband she was his
Queen, and that her husband had no more clean his
leavings. He held and squeezed her, and her litt*-
! band s.truck him lo get her out of his grire. The fel-
low then knocked down Mr. Week, whose head came
against the curb-stone, and who was knocked sen:c.

MOHARMON V. WOLFS.

This was an action to recover from the defendant
the value of ,a 1001.. Bank of England note, which
had been stolen from the plaintiff, and it was alleged
had come improperly into the hands of the defendant.
From the effidence it appeared that the note was
stolen from the plaintiff by a boy named Geofge
Biggs, who was in the plaintiff's employ, and who
had since, with his brother Richard Biggs, been tried
rand convicted at the Old .Bailey, and both transported.
A witness, named Jane Somerfield, deposed, that
in March last she went with Richard Biggs to the
Rosemary Branch,. Sr. Catherine's-hill, where they
met George Watts. Richard Biggs here got into
trouble, and was taken to the
.watch-house. George
Watts afterward's took the witness to the defendant's
house; she had the 1001. the same now produced in

FUNERAL OF COLONEL MACLEOD.

Yesterday the mortal remains of the lamented
Colonel JOHN MACLEOD, of Colebecs, were removed
from' Bury-street, St. Jar.:es's, to St. James's Cht,rcli.
The nselancholy Procession consisted of a hearse drawn by
six horses, followed by six mourning coaches and four, and s x-
, teen Gentlemen'a carriages. The route wasdown St. James's.
street, along Pall-mall, up Itvgent-street, and thence to th!
centre gate of the Church, in Piccadilly. The Foot Procession
then commenced, it consisted of tvienty-four Gentlemen, the.;
followed the coffin into the Church, and thence to the grave,
i. e. the great vault in the centre. The fungal service was rea 1
at two o clock, in the presence of many spectators, among who*
it excited a deep interest.
The deceased displayed his loyalty and patriotism by tais'ng a
Highland Regiment, soon after the commencement of the Lao
war with France. In honour of the birth of the KING'S la-
mented daughter, irwas called " The Princess Charl,otte's Royal
Highlanders." In private life, no one possessed a greater num-
ber of friends. His hospitality was unbounded, as his tenaws
can testify; and the fshionable world are well acquainted with
the splendour,-taste, and liberality which for twenty years pre-
sided at Charlotteville.

The Colonel's death was sudden: he was found dead in his
bed, at seven o'clock in the morning of Sunday se'nuight. The
amiable widow received the distressing intelligence on the mull-
ing of the same day.
One of the daughters of the deceased is now with her Math e
the Marehiboeb•of I-Istailms, in India.

The coffin was covered with black velvet, richly decorat. I
with the Arms of the Clan of Colehecs, in silver gilt : the inscr i-
tion was very sitnple--" Colonel Jona MACLEOD, of Colebeo,
aged-64."

DOVER, OCTOBER 14.

This morning, at twelve o'clock, the London steam-
vessel, the Lord Melville, arrived here. She left
Calais at one o'clock, A.N. and had since been beating
about, in a❑ attempt to proceed to London, which
she found perfectly impracticable ; du►ing the time,
she encountered a most violent gale, and the ex-
hausted appearance of the passengers clearly indi-
cated its effects.—This circumstance ►s another proof
(of what indeed needed not confirmation), that our
port stands unrivalled for a passage to or from the
Continent, f r shortness and safety.

ANOTHER LETTER—SAME DATE.
Yes:ei day it blew hard all day from the S.W.
and in consequence the steam vessels from France
acre unable to reach this port; and•the Dasher Post
oilice steam-packet, from Calais, and the Union
steam vessel, bore up for the Downs: the former,
however, came round this morning, and got into the
harbour. Last night it blew a tremendous gale, at-
tended with torrents of rain, and in the course of the
night, or rather about two in the morning the wind
shifted from the &W. to the N.W. still blowing very
hard. The Lord Melville, London steam-vessel, came
out of Calais at one this morning, and, notwithstand-
ing we have heard that these London steam-vessels
are so constructed as to make their way against all
sorts of wind and weather, after beating abOut for an
hour or two, and reaching the North Sands Head,
she was obliged to put back. She arrived in this
harbour about ten this morning, with two carriages
and eighty passengers.

CANTERBURY; OCTOBER 15.

Early on Thursday morning, Mr. T. C. Fowler,
surgeon, of Sheerness, was found dead, with his neck
dislocated, near the Red House, between that place
and the Half-way House to Minster. The deceased,
about half-past nine on the preceding evening,. had
called :It the Half-way House on his return from
Eastchurch, on horseback, and the night being very
dark he was advised not to ride so hard as was his
usual custom ; but it is feared that he heeded not this
caution, and hence the fatal accident which deprived
him of life, and the circle in which ho moved of his
able professional services.
About eight o'clock on Monday evening,the 7th
last, a hay-stack, containing about thirty tons, was
discovered to be on fire upon Shurland Farm, in the
Parish of Pluckley, in the occupation of Mr. Thomas
Page ; although every active assistance was given by
the neighbours, it was found impossible to prevent the
total destruction of the stack.

A shocking accident happened on Saturday, at a
manufactory in Bath. A young man, named George
Jones, was in the act of tying a rope to the dinner-
bell, when his foot slipped, and he fell on the fly-wheel
of a steam-engine, which was at work at the time,
and which actually severed his head from his body
FIRIL—The neighbourhood of Fish-street-hill was
last night thrown into great agitation, in consequence
of a fire breaking out on the premises of Mr. Josgrx
WALKER, feather-bed manufacturer, residing on
Fish-street-hill. The fire was perceived by the oppo-
site neighbours, who saw clouds of smoke pouring
out of the front door, and immediately informed Mr.
WALKER, who, on. examination, found that some
Rocks and wool in the warehouse had by some un-
known means taken fire and were burning furiously.
Fortunately for Mr. WALKER, the speedy arrival of
the engines prevented the flames from doing any
very serious injUly, except that of the windows, which
are smashed to pieces. The new beds, flocks, and
wool, that the fire had got into, were removed by the
firemen to the church-yard opposite, and the into-

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Yesterday evening the effect of the lights was tried
upon the internal decorations of this Theatre, and it
was fully equal to the most sanguine expectations.—
The beauty of the grand luitre is very great, as the
light which it throws banishes every particle of shade
to the lowest place. in the pit, and the remotest abode
of the gs:Cids. The prismatic colours in the prudent
chrystal work, put one in mind of the gem-beatidg
trees in an Eastern fairy tale. The colour and gilt
ornaments to which we have already alluded, have a
very clean and chaste effect ; and the advantage of
enlarging the aperture of the stage, is very apparent;
every box and slip now commanding the whole range
Of it ; and, by the introduCtion of a greater number
of side scenes, the vista can be carried to an ap-
parently interminable length, without any violaiioti
of perspective. By this means some of the absurdities
which plague the most skilful Manager, when the
proscenium confines the foreground, may be com-
pletely got rid of; and if the barbaric taste of the
town shall still render it necessary, horse and foot, ar-
tillery and elephants, may be wheeled and counter-
mai tired, without the violation of anything but good
taste ; whereas, otherwise, congruity also suffers.
In addition to the beauty of the architectural and
plastid decorations, the extreme cleanness and com-
fort of the seats are very striking : there is no part of
the House which does not appear as if snug ; and as
all the partitions now point to the centre of the stage,
every one may have a full and uninterrupted view
of the performers. Everything, in short,. appears to
have been done for the physical comfort of the au•
dience, at the same time that care has been taken
that even the most fastidious taste cannot quarrel with
the decorations. The expense must have been great—
some idea of it may be formed from the fact, that
the gold-leaf alone cost Four Thousand Pounds. So
much expended to please the eyes of the Public is
commendable—the more so, that it is accompanied
by an accession of talent.
The exhibition altogether afforded unmixed satis-
faction. Every one most cordially acknowledged
the Hall of the Theatre to be beautiful, and it is but
justice to say, that (vhile anxious to embellish, Mr.'
ELLISTON has not forgotten or omitted to supply
those unobtrusive accommodations which pass for
little in a hasty view of the House, but which con-
ibute largely to the substantial comforts of an au-
dience. Seeing so much gcod.taste displayed in this
part of the Establishment, we may reasonably hope
that it ends not here. As far as we can see all is good,
and when we have such abundant cat:se to be pleased
with what is before the curtain, we may be allowed
to parody a line in Hamlet, and pronounce—
" Thus Ord begins—the best is still behind."

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

This Theatre closed a successful season last night,
when the following Address was delivered by Mr.
T. DIBDIN, Stage Manager:
“ Lions AND Gesrurmint—l am desired by the Proprietors
to present you with their sincere and grateful acknowledgments
for the very liberal patronage with which you have honoured
the season, which terMinates with the performances of this even.
ing. They beg to auure you that the long vacation we are
doomed to suffer shall be employed in every exertion to render
this House and its establishment worthy a continuance of your
generous support. During our short campaign we have to thank
your indulgence for the complete success of every novelty we
have presented; and among the new candidates who have ad-
ventured upon these beards, a young Lady, whom your discri-
minate award has raised to the highest rank of musical preten-
sion, will ever have to recollect that her first efforts were en-
couraged by the Friends and Patrons of the Haymarket Theatre.
The Performers also wish to express their high sense of the kind-
ness you have shewn them; and I hope, Ladies and Gentlemen,
it may not be deemed intrusive if I take the liberty of thanking
each of them, who have by their zeal, alacrity, and talent, car-
ried into effect every intention of the Management. In the
name of the Proprietors, the Performers and most humbly is
my own, while taking a grateful leave, I ;wish you every possible
happiness till the return of summer shall renew our hopes to
meet, and ardent wishes to merit the future sunshine of your
favour and protection."

JUNIOR LORDS OF THE ADMIRALTY.

Sir JOHN OSBORN said, that in rising to move
the Ordinary and Extraordinary Estimates of the
Navy for the present year, it was gratifying to him
to feel that the time was come when the resolutions
adopted by the Government at the conclusion of the
war, of placing the naval establishment on a reduced
and economical scale, were so far matured as to ena-
ble the Government to carry them in a great mea-
sure into effect. The Ordinary Estimates were di-
vided into three separate branches: the first com-
prising the charge for the establishments of the civil
offices, the dock-yards, the outports and foreign yards,
the wages of ships in ordinary, the harbour moor-
ings, and the repairs of ships in ordinary ; the second
embraced the half-pay, superannuations and pen-
sions to the Officers in the military line of the Navy,
their widows and relations, and the bounty to Chap-
lains; and the third branch extended to the super-
annuations to the Civil Officers of the Navy, and al-
lowances hi lieu of half-pay to Naval Officers for-
anerly emi.loyed in the civil departments of the
service. The Extraordinary Estimates included the
vharge for building and repairs of ships of war,
for works in the different yards, and for the victual-
ling and transport departments. There would be
Found a considerable diminution in the amount of
the charges on both divisions of the Estimates.-1
in the first branch of the Ordinary .Estimates
re-
ductions had been effected to the amount of 160,0001.;
in the second branch there was an increase of
72,0001.; and in the third branch there was also an
increase of 20,0001. in the Extraordinary Estimates
the charge for building, re-building, and repairs of
ships, had been.reduced to 482,0001.; and that for
the repairs ,and buildings, and other works in the
yards at Sheerness and other places, 158,0001.1
U nder the latter head no new works were tom menced ;
there were only the old works to be proceeded on,
which would be done gradually until they were corn-

Mr. Protheroe with subornation of perjury and packing a jury
when Iligh Sheriff. The damages were laid at £5,000, and ilia

diet for the plaintiff—Damages, £l,OOO.

COMMITTEE.

The House then went into the Committee.

Sir J. OSBOItN moved that 555,6501. he allowed
for wear and tear of the Navy, including 20,000
men, at 21. Is. per man per month.:—Agreed. The
Hon. Member next moved a grant of 819,0001. for
ordnance sea service, at 6.. per man per month.
Mr. BERNAL asked, why this sum differed from
the printed Estimates?
Sir J. OSBORN said, that it had been found prac-
ticable to reduce the item ls. per man.
Mr. HG ME wished to know at what stage they
were to take the. expenses of the Marines ?
Mr. CROKER replied, on the item for wear and
tear, and on that for wages.
Mr. HUNIE complained that there were seven si-
necures in the Marine Estimates, amounting alto-
gether to twenty pounds a day, the holders of which
had nothing to do with the department. If they had
deserved reward, let them have pensions granted by
Parliament. He thought it very advisable to strike
these places off, and give pensions instead of them to
the amount.
Mr. CROKER said, that the Hon. Member might
move for their reduction on the item for the wages
and pay. The Officers in question had been attached
to the Marines from the first existence of the corps ;
and on that account he thought the question of their
reduction to be one of sufficient importance to form
the subject of a substantive motion, and he should
prefer that the Hon. Member should make it so ; but
if he did not think proper to do that, he (Mr. Croker)
should be prepared, on the bringing up of the Report,
to show the grounds on which he thought it-proper
that they should be retained.—Motion agreed to.

STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK.

A very general panic prevailed this morning, from Ministers
having been kft in the Minority last night, and large sales have
been done in Consols for the Account at 78j, and for Money
78i. The Marker has since improved, and Consols are new
714 for the Account. A good deal of business has been doing

been doing.

Ministers were last night defeated, if not in their
strong hold, certainly in one which they have de-,
fended most pertinaciously. The two lay Lords of
the Admiralty, upon the retention of whom Minis-
ters hubg their existence, were last night, by a vete
of the House of Commons, abolished! It was in
vain that Sir Gsoass Cocicauttu declared seven
Lords of the Admiralty necessary ; and that Sir Geo.
WARRENDER assured the House that last year he had
been obliged to return to London on the sth of Sep-
tember; and that the office of a Lord of the Admi-
ralty interfered with his private pursuits ; all would
not do ; even the finesse of the Marquis of LoNDoli-

SINKING FUND.

• The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose
to move the Order of the Day for going into a Com-
mittee of Supply.
Mr. BANKES said, that before the Right Hon.
Gentleman entered into any statement, he wished to
move, in pursuance of his notice, for some returns
lconnected with the Sinking Fund. He then, without
any further preface, moved,
That there be laid before the House an account of the
amount of Capital Stock redeemed by the Commissioners ap.
pointed for the redemption of the National Debt up to the sth
of January, 1822, in pursuance of the 56th, fikh, and 55th of
George the Third, together with calculations showing how much
of the National Debt would be redeemed in ten years by the
application of 5,000,0001. at simple interest ; together with cal-
culations shaving the amount which would be redeemed in the
same time by the same sum at compound interest, taking the
prices of s per Cent. Stock on an average of 751. 781. and 846"
Mr. GItENFELL wished to be informed by the
Right Hon. Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, if his Majesty's Ministers had made up their
minds,whether the 5,000,000'. which was set apart for
a Sinking Fund, was meant to operate in the tedut-
tion of the National Debt by simple interest, or at a
compound rate, and how they meant to dispose of
the 260,0001. which was the excess of that Fund?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
the question put by the Hon. Gent. was one of very
great importance ; whether it was to operate by sim-
ple or compound interest was entirely at the disposal
of Parliament. That question was left open for their
consideration. With regard to the excess of 260,0001.
he was not.yet prepared to say in what manner that
would be available. The actual sum which the ex-
pected saving flints the reduction of the 5 per Cents.
would fall abort of the sum discharged by the remis-
sion of the Malt Duty was not yet ascertained, and
It was only from this excess, that the deficiency was
to be made good. If, however, there should appear
to remain any sum, after satisfying this deficiency,
the application of it would be entisely atthe dispOsal
of Parliament. 'ln addition to what he said, he beg-
ged to mention then, that as soon as the finances of
the year Were, gone through, and the Budget laid
before the House, he would propose that a Commit-
tee be appointed for the arrangement and him pli fica•
tion of the public accounts. In that Committee the
Sinking Fund would become an object of attention,
