COURT OF COSIS* PLEAS, Jaws i.
POTAIS BONDS.
lAWCCTT U. RICHARDSON.
It appeared in this case, that, en the 19th of April,
the present plaintiff wrote a letter to the defendant, in
which he acknowledged himself the latter's debtor to
the amount of 3001. Within a week after this, he
at rested the defendant for 6,0001. paid by him (plaintiff)
for Poyais Bonds, Which hadiince turned out not tobe
worth a farthing. On a former day, Mr. Serjeant
Wilde obtained a Rule to chew cause why the de-
fendant should net be discharged from custody.
Mr. Serjeaat VAUGHAN aow opposed the Rule, and
contended, the whole transaction was fraudulent on the
part of the defendant, who, if he once got loose, would
leave the plaintiff without any security fot the money
be had advanced upon the Poyais Bonds.
The COURT observed, that it was difficult, from what
was before them, to see the justice of the case ; but that
the best way would be, to send the facts to a Jury in-
stantly, which would, perhaps, obviate the necesisty
of the defendant's remaining in prison the whole of
the long vacation.
It was accordingly decided, that the case should go to trial at the
Sittings after Term ; the defendant to be immediately discharged,
if the Judge thought fit.
In the course of the discussion, some highly curious
extraneous matter escaped. It appeated, that the bonds
issued by Richardson, the defendant, well known as the
agent of Gregor M‘Gregor, were date i Octisber, 1823,
whilst it appeared, from the water mark, that the paper
was not manufactured till 1824. Mr. Richardson, in
the bonds, styled himself " Knight Commander of the
Green Cross, Major of a Regiment of Cavalry, and
Charge d'Affaires of his Poyaisian Majesty," &c.; to
prove all which, there was the seal of the Legation
attached to the bottom of the paper.

Just as our Paper was going to Press, we receive) the
'toile of yebtetday, by express. It contains the con-

cluiion of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on

Frith.), last, on the Budget, and a list of the sums with-
drawn from circulation in England in 1825, in foreign
loans and speculaions.
The Duke of RAGUSA has had his first audience of
the Emperor of RUSSIA, and was treated with marked
attention.
An article from Constacinople states that the French
Admiral, RIGNY, had proceeded to Napoli to reclaim
several vessels captured by the Greek Corsairs, and that
he had rescued several Austrian vessels from the pirates.

Intelligence direct from Patras, states that the Egyp-
tian army has been so much weakened by the siege of
Miuolonghi, that it require* repose before it can com-
mence offensive operations. The heroes who cut their
way through the besiegers and reached Selena were
received with acclamations by tie people, who crowded
round them to kiss the hem of their garments.
The French Papers of Monday state that the discus-
sion of the Budget for 1827 in the Chamber of Deputies
is sot yet terminated ; and that the affair of Ouvaisisn's
Contracts assumes a mote serious appearance as
the investigation proceeds. These Papers contain a
Proclamation issued by the Emperor NICKOLAS, on the

21st of May, in which he announces the death of the
Empress Dowager ELITABITII, states her age (48
years), and calls upon the whole Empire to join in
prayers for the repose of her soul. Private accounts
ftom St. Petersburgh to the 2311 express a belief that

the Coronation would be #dayod on account of the loss
of this Princess.

The .PVRAMIFS frigate, which has been so long ex-
pected (ma South America, his arrived at Portsgpoeth.
She touched last at New Yo• k; and it is said the Corn.
maader. Capt. Gistslan, and M. Montag, had been to
Washington, on some important business connected with
the Havannah, but the result of which had not transpired.

The German and French Papers continue to give
further accounts of the fall of Missolonghi. The Austria►'
Observer of the 26th ult. received this morning, states
that the bravery of the gartison even excited the respect
of the besiegers ; and that IBRAHIM PACHA proposed
honourable, and even generous terms of capitulation.
Letters from Trieste of the 22d of May, in the French
Papers, state that a vessel from the lonian Islands con-
firms the news that part of the garrison of Missolonghi
had made its Way through the Turks, and joined
KARAIEKAKI. it was even said they were 1,800 in num-
ber. They have placed themselves at the disposal of the
Government of Napoli. Letters from Zante of the 12th
of May, state that iERA HIM was at Patras, with 2,500
Egyptians, and 1,200 Turks. The Captain PACHA'S
fleet had passed Zan:e on the sth, sailing towards the
Archipelago ; the Egyptian fleet remained at Patras.—
The Missolonghiots who had esc4ped had retreated to
Salona, to secure that place against an attack from the
Seraskier, MEHEMET PACHA. The following article
is from the Austrian Observer:

VIENNA, ilmr 24.

In a letter from Paccar of the 27th of April, the events at Mi..
sawed are described in a manlier which agrees, upon the whole,
with the accounts which we have already received from Corfu and
Constantinople. The sally of the gagisen took place on the 22d of
April, an hour and a half after Son set. After a terrible combat,
which continued nearly two hours, the fate of blissolonghi was
decided. Ibrahim Pacha, having been informed by a deserter of
the plan of the besieged, who could expect to success except by
taking the enemy by surprise, bad taken every measure to bare
their project, and distributed his numerous troops in such a manner,
that to whatever side the Greeks turned, they met with the most
obstinate resistance.

Some days before the attack at the island of Ylissowa, Ibra-
him and Redsckid Mehemet Pacha had sent to the commanders of
the garrison of Missolonghi another summons, to surrender upon
terms which prove that their brave defence had acquired them the
esteem even of their enemies. " All of you" (says the sumo's)
" must deliver up to us your arms and ammunition ; on the other
hand you shall be permitted to repair to any place you may choose
in the Turkish empire. Those who are citizens of kfissolongld
shall be at perfect liberty to remain in their houses and possessions
or, if they prefer it, to settle in any other place in the dominions of
our mighty Sovereign. And know that the property, effects, honour,
and lives of you all shall not be injured in the smallest degree in
any manner whatever." The Commanders in klissolossisi declared
in their answer of the Yd April, that they would not listen to any
oegociatlisa do such terms, and would leave the result to be decided
by arms. The unsuccessful attack of the Turks on Clissnwa
(6th April),and, a few days after that, the appearance of a part of
the Greek squadron in the vicinity of Missolongki, confirsmd the
besieged in their resolution, which at length (after they bad again,
as it is affit med, just before the decision of their fate, rejected the
offers made to them) led to the bloody catastrophe of Use nti April.

FATAL DUEL AT COItJC.

-.00.--
YURTMIR lA UTICUL A RII.

Coax, Tnuasnar Evilness.
A fatal and melancholy affair, which has just taken place between
two most particular friends, is the chief topic of conversation in the
city and county of Cork.—The parties are Daniel Connor, of Manch,
Esq. a magistrate of the county of Cork, and Captain Daunt, of
Kilcuskin ; and the difference had its origin In the fo:kwing man-
ner short time since a servant of "C-ptaiii Daunts summoned
him before the Petty Sessions of Ballyneen, for non-payment of
wages. The case was tried, and, in strict point of law, decided
against the servant. Mr. Connor. who attended at the Board, re-
marked, it would seem, in a careless, and (some would have it)
friendly manner, that " Daunt ought to have paid the Mill, rather
than bring it before the Board." This was communicated ; and.
Captain Daunt immediately sent a friend (Mr. Atkins) to de-
mand an explanation, which was declined by Mr. Connor,
on the ground of the words being used while discharging
his duty as a Magistrate. The friend departed, seemingly not
satisfied, at least so it appeared to Mr. Conner, who soon after con-
ferred with his brother Magistrates, and they were of opinion that
the woos were used in his Magisterial capacity, and, consequently,
that he was not called on to defend them personally. Captain
Daunt felt the force of the observations, and coming from a friend
annoyed him much more t he again sent Mr. Atkins, who, on wait-
' log on Mr. Connor, was informed, that if his visit was of a hostile
nature, he would bring the parties into the King's Bench. This
had its effect, and the affair dropped without any further expiana-
don. The friendship of two such men being severed, was the
cattle of regret throughout the neighbourhood ; and, accordingly,
a most excellent and esteemed man (the Reverend Dr. Hickey,
Rector of Morragh) resolved to bring the parties together in
order to effect a reconciliation. For this purpose he gave an en-
tertainment, to which both were invited ; and, in the course of
the evening, a Gentleman present approached Captain Daunt, and
said, that asConnor was in the room, and **bey bad bad a trivial dif-
ference, he considered it wouldbe well to make it up between them.
The reply (I am informed)Aiven by Captain Daunt was, " oh ! d—n
the coward,"which beingffierkeard by Mr.Connor,wbo was then at
a short distance, he immediately inquired if such an epithet was
used to bins ?—and being answered in the affirmative, he waited
the opportunity of Captain Daunt retiring out of the draffing
room, and delivered the message himself for the neat morning.--
The friends of both parties again interfered, but all to no purpose;
and Lieutenant Bernard Mandell, cousin to Mr. Connor, and
brother to Arthur Beamish Bernard, Req. of Palace Ann, was
deputed by Mr. Connor to arrange the preliminaries for a
meeting. The negociations that were, entered into continued
for nearly a week ; when all endeavours proving fruitless, and the
parties being determined, the Magistrates interfered and bound
them over. It was then agreed that they should proceed to the
county of Waterford; and accordingly they arrived in Cork on
Monday, in a private manner, and that evening posted off for Year
hal, where they remained that night; the next morning, at a very
early Inoue, they went to the opposite side of the river, where,
having taken their places, the word was given, and in the first
shoe Captain Daunt's hat was knocked off, his adversary's
ball having passed through it. -An attempt at reconciliation
was resorted to, which, having purved ineffectual, they fired
again. and Mr. Connor's ball passed quite close to his adver-
sary's second, who stood rather too close to his friend, while
Captain Daunt's ball tore the (remind from under the feet's(' Mr.
Connor. The efforts at adjusinent were again had recourse to, bat
with as littip success as before, and the word was given the third
time, who Mr. Connor's ball entered the centre of Captain Daunt's
forehead, and killed him on the spot! Thus terminated a trifling
difference between two friends, in the ushering of one of them
into eternity ! The parties instantly left the ground. Captain
Daunt's body was put into a chaise and brought into this city at
nine o'clock in the morning, where it remained until an early hour
this morning, when it was removed to his residence in the West.
Ile has been only recently married to a highly respectable and amia-
ble young Lady (Miss Gurnbleton), who is near her confinement.
—On the whole, it is one of the most tragical circumstances that
has occurred in this county for some time. Mr. Connor is deeply
affected by the melancholy occurrence, and it is said he will leave
the country, as his house is quite opposite to Captain Daunt's.
The Liberals here were striving to give the affair a political coin-
plexion, in reference to the O'Connor fancily ; but that is not the
fact. Lieut. B. Beamiah is one of the four brothers who attacked
and defeated a party of Whiteboys, about three years ago, in the
West, after killing and wounding several of them. --..Dssigin
responded.

The Princess AUGUSTA had a select patty to dinner
en Monday, at her residence in the Palace, St. James's.

SOUTHWARK ELECTION.
This forenoon the election of Representatives for the
Borough of Southwark commenced on the hustings.
erected for that purpose in front of the Town Hall.—
The three Candidates, Mr. Calvert, Sir Robert Wilson,
and Mr. Polhill, were attended by their several friends.
The crowd of persons in front of the hustings was great.
The HIGH BAILIFF having read the writ, add, essed
the meeting, exhorting all persons to be peaceable and
quiet in their demeanour, in order thA, the proceedings
might be conducted with order and regularity.
The appear ance of Mr. POLHILL and friends appeared
to be the sign•sl for discord, and upo❑ presenting them-
selves upon the front of the hustings, the crowd shouted,
hissed, and flung missiles of all kinds, is the direction
in which they stood. At the same moment, several
persons carrying banners with Mr. Pirant.L's colours
(orange) were attacked, and the ribbons torn from their
hats; and the banners being torn and demolished, the
fragments were scattered in every direction: this gave
rise to some severe personal teocounters.
The other candidates had a very liberal display of
blue ribbons, and bands of music accompanied 'he va-
rious electioneering devices through the meets. The
High-street a: ound the hustings was perfectly impassa-
ble during the forenoon.
' Mr. DAVIS, in a long speech, in which he eulogised
the conduct of Mr. Calvert, nominated that Gentleman.
This was seconded by Mr. Joux Emus.
Sir RossavVirmaon was proposed by Mr. Stascrarr, and seconded
by Mr. AsROWIWITH.
The crowd applauded to the very echo, upon the nomination of
their favourites ; but upon Mr. &snot nominating Mr. Pourit.r., a
confusion that baffles description ensued, and not a single sentence
of the proposer's speech could be heard. Mr. Hos.t.nway seconded
the nomination.

Mr. Busses, in a very energetic speech, declared be would pro-
pose a fourth candtdate if the popular candidates did not pledge
themselves to procure the abolition of all sinecures, redress the
grievances of the people, and particularly " seamen," and procure a
general religious toleration.—This Gentleman was received almost
as unfavourably as Mr. Polhill.
The candidates addressed the electors in speeches declaratory of
their political principles, and expressed a hope that the contest
would be such a one as would not disgrace the Borough of South-
wark. Not a sentence of Mr. Polhill's speech could be heard.
The show of bands being decidedly in favour of Sir Robert Wil-
son and Mr. Calvert, a poll was demanded by the friends of Mr.
Polhill, which the High Bailiff ordered to commence at two o'clock.
A large banner, inscribed " Polhill, our Trade and Commerce:,
was displayed during the morning ; and Miss Wilson, the daughter
of Sir Robert, was at a window near the hustings. It was also said
that M. Lavalette was present.
