le pre%idect'es Azimut of the vestry on the 10th of
Detember, 1825 ; he appeared quite competent to trans-
-act his business at that time. _ _ _

Cross-examined—l have known Mr. Jodrell for many
Tears. During the last four years I observed that his
Mind Was greatli impaired ; there was a greet falling
nff in his powers in the year 1828. He was often put
into the chair, as a cerripliment to his age and respecta-
bility. It was after 1825 that he came to take the chair,
and I told him that the vestry was over, to get rid of
him.• In MIS he was a fine ruin, but almost childish.
Le-11127. I shotild have been sorry to have seen him at a
_pu►lic board.
Re-examined—The infirmities which I saw in him in
1825 and 1896 were only such as were natural to
man of his age. 1 thought him competent to some tort
of.basiness.

< The kr-I.mm GiNtRAL said, that be had evidence
to tender in support of the plaintiff's character, if his
Lordship should think that her character could be &tall
effected under the present issue.
. Lord TIOITERDIN—I can give no opinion what may
be necessary at present. 1 am ready to receive any
evidence you may call, if it is not objected to. •
The Armen Gilmer, then said that he would
call another witness.

Dr. Cooper—l am a clergyman. I have known the
plaintiff for eight years. She comes from' the German
part of Switzerland. I consider her as a very accom-
plished and respectable person. She attended regularly
at my chapel. I was tutor to the late Princess Charlotte.
•Mr. Guam then addressed the Jury for the defend.
ant. He called upon them to contrast the magnificent
opening of his Learned Friend as to the character of the
female plaintiff with the very meagre and scanty evi-
dence which he bad called to support it. His Learners',
Friend had told them, that there was no ground for any
imputation which he (Mr. Gurney) might be directed to
make against the plaintiff's character—that the had lived
as governess for several years with a most respectable
fatally in Northamptonshire—that upon leaving it, she
immediately came to London, where she was intro-
duced by some of het friends to Mr. Jodrell—and that
she knew nothing whatever of Mr. Dunne till she was
introduced to him as a servant of the Athenaion. How
bed that statement been supported by the evidence?—
Why, it was proved that she had been living in the same
house with one servant with Mr, Dunne for some time
previous to any visit which Mr. Jodrell ever made to the
Athenaion, and that she was even now living in the
same house with the same Mr. Dunne, in Manchester-
buildings, and in all probability undi-r his protection.
And here, he would ask, who was Mr. Dunne? The
very person who had yesterday been arrested on his
way to the Court, and who had got himself re-
ltasecl from custody on the false plea that be was coming
to the Court to produce certain books in evidence.—
Why, •then, had his Learned Friend declined calling
Mr. Dunne to produce the books► Why, ezt.ein that,
his Learned Friend dared nor call that witness into the
box and subject him to cross-examination ? 'lie woOkdS.
however, call upon the Jell to examine the books which
Mr. Dunne's clerks bad put in, and they would see that
all the resolutions purporting to be the resolutions of a
general Meeting of the Athenaion, were signed by only
two members, Mr. Jodrell, the President, and. Mr.
Dunne, the Manager. He was not certain, but be be-
lieved, that amongst all those resolutions there would
not be found any resolution appointing the plaintiff as
housekeeper to the institution ; and it so, it would be
for them to consider whether the sehsequent resolution,
confirming her appointment, was not an interpolation
made by those who had so long had the custody of the
books. •1 Look at the book itself, Gentlemen," said Mr.
Gurney, " and see whether it is not an interpolation."
Lord TENTIRDIN—And if it be, what becomes of
the plaintiff's case?
. Mr. Guawatr—lt is not for me to say, my Lord.
. Lord TENTERDIN.—.I have lookei at the hooks, and'
can find no resolution appointing the plaintiff house-
keeper. The resolution which confirms the appointment
is at the bottom of the page, and in a different hand-
writing. If the Jury should think it to be an interpo:
lation, they must, find a verdict for the defendant.

- The ATTORNEY GENERAL desired to look at the book.
Lord Tstssaanste.—l have mimicked the book for
some time with great satiety, and I have myself no
doubt that the confirmatory resolution is an interpola•
tion. The plaintiff has not dared to call Dunne to give
any explanation of the books.
The Arroanstv GENERAL said, that after such an
intimation from his Lordship be did not feel inclined to
press the case on the Jury. He had not seen the book
at all, and could not now call Duane its explanation.
LordTamtwfteax—You can, if you like, Mr.Atterney
General, be nedsoited.

The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited.
CORPCTT V. OIRMATWIL
This was an action for assault and battery. The
defendant pleaded Not Guilty.
It appeared from the testimony of the single witness
who was called to support the plaintiff's case, that in
Septembet the plaintiff was a sailor in, and the defendant
the Captain of thi‘brig Edward, which was bound from
Trinidad to London. On the evening of the 4th of
September, a quarrel took place between the plaintiff
and the carrnpir of the vessel, as to who should take
the helm. During the quaftel, the first mate, who was
cousin to the defendant, interfered, and in consequence
of some observation made by the plaintiff, knocked him
down. The carpenter and cook then set upon the
plaintiff; and beat him severely. The ooiseof the scuffle
btought the Captain upon deck, who immediately
ordered the plaintiff to be booed hand and foot,
and to be dragged and fastened to the companion.
—Whilst be was there, the defendant, seeing his
cousin kneeling on the chest of the plaintiff, called
to him to lay on, and not spare the rascal. The re-
stilt of this order was, that the plaintiff was so much
beaten, that he was not able to perform -his duty for
several days afterwards. It turnerlont, however, upon
cross-examinationohat the witness' who gave this tes-
timony had had a dispute With the defendant on the

BER LIN, Die. 6.

At St. Petersburgh there was a general report of a
note drawn up under the eyes of the Emperor himself,
and transmitted a few days after his Mljesty's return,
to the foreign Ministers at the Russian Court. In this
note there is the following passage;

" Russia repeat. to the powers of Europe the mod positive as
of DM clearing to aggrandize iss territory at the a:peon of
any silts olighhours, bat it also repeats the resolution taken by the
Emperor himself, to proem-ate the plan agreed upon with hit Allies
hr the pacification of the East. If it should happen, therefore, that
the Poste, even after the delineate of Its Rees; should continue to
refuse to yield is reasonable coseemions, the Emperor would be ob-
liged to have remote, to mbar limas to sushi the proposed object."

All the tatters agree in stating, that notwithstanding
the advanced season of the year, the Russian army
would not confine itself merely to the occupation of
the provinces on the Danube, but would.endeavour
to penetrate as far as possible into the interior of Turkey
itself, in order not to leave the Muisuktien time to
prepare means of defence ; and that to oblige theth,
by taking them by suepri,e, to yield to the force of
arms, which they have hitherto refused to grant to the

the Ambassadors.

It is affirmed that news has been received by "the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, that the Commander in
Chief of the Russian army of Caucasus has signed, since
the taking of Timis, with Abbas Mirsa, the prelimi-
naries of a peace, which secures to Russia. the provinces
in dispute.
