BLOCKADE OF THE DARDANELLES.

Lamm. Oct. 11. 11148.

Garrinstan—l have the honour of acknowledging the receipt of
your letter of yesterday, informing me that you are about to
dispatch the British brig Urania, Captain 011114TMAI, for Constan.
tinople. with a cargo of manufactures of cotton goods only, and re-
questing to know whether I can grant any document width, by cer-
tifying the nature of her cargo, may prevent the said vegsel from
meeting with detention by the Commander of his Imperial Ma-
jetty's Beet, should she be brought to by the squadron blockading
the Dardanelles.

I hasten to inform you, in Answer to the above request, that it
being far from the wish of the Imperial Russian Government to
obstruct the general commerce with the Dardanelles, the blockade
in question is limited to the prevention of vessels entering the
Straits with provisions or articles contraband of war only. The
cargo of the Urania, if consisting of nothing but manufactures of
cotton goods, will therefore meet with no obstruction from the
Imperial Russian squadron. even without a certificate from me.
Nevertheless, I can have no objection to grant to the ship in
question a certificate, addressed to the Commanders of the Imperial
Russian ships blockading the Dardanelles, stating the nature and
quantity of le cargo ; but in that case every package must bear
the seal of this Consulate, and the manifest of the cargo must be
attached to my certificate—a duplicate of which manifest I shall
require.

I think it necessary to mention, that such a certificate from me
will not prevent the vessel from being searched by the blockading
squadron; but if searched h may facilitate that operation.
I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
G. BENHAUSEN, Russian Consul-General,
To Messrs. Longridgo, Barnett. and Hodgson,

youngest child, in the very many charitable institutions
in Windsor, was enabled to participate in the genera
' rejoicing. Honoured as it would have been, but in,
actual indisposition, by the presence of Royalty, grace./
by the attendance of the Nobles forintng the peLannei
Household of the Sovereign, and surrounded by his
neighbours and (rends, the exhilaration of feeling with
which the toast " The Kis°, and GOD bless him was
announced, was in complete unison with the circuits.
stances and the scene.

The desert, furnished in some of its choicest attrac-
tions by the express desire of his MaJure, requires
some little notice. The principal ornament was a beau.
titul model of the arch of Constantine, most elaboratey
executed ; and the whole of the tables were interspersed
with a variety of ornaments in classic tl, local, and fancy
devices, reflecting at once credit on the taste that devised,
and the superior execution that completed them. Arnow
the company were—

to burnish a display of brilliancy worthy of the graadss

SLAT= OF TRAM AT BOLTOMr.During the last
fortnight the trade in fine cambric: and jaconets has
been very dull, and it has been almost impossible to
effect sales.. In the higher kind of fancy goods for the
spring trade there seems to be a revival, and the Raters
and weavers' joiners are extremely busy. The practice
of paying wages in goods, instead of the current coin
of the realm, has become so prevalent in Bolton and the
neighbourhood, that t')e shopkeepers, butchers, and
others, have come to the determination of forming an
association, for the purpose of putting a stop to this
illegal system.

GREAT MARLOW, Nov. 29.

Colonel CLAYTON last week gave an elegant dinner,
by way of housewarming, to as many of the builder,
and other tradesmen of this town, as his house could
accommodate, and we understand that he has since
issued invitations for a similar party nest week.
Thursday evening, as Mr. Moss and 'some of his
friends were returning from Colonel CLAYTON'S, they
were assailed by a shower of stones from some roffians
who had concealed themselves behind a wall. They
fled the instant they were pursued. The carriage of
Own WILLIAM, Esq. M.P. for the Borough, was at-
tacked in a similar manner as he was going to a ball in
thetown last winter, on which occasion a reward of
50i. was offered for the discovery of the offenders.

This was an action to recover the bum of 21.105. un-

gone into the service of the defendant, and become prep.

plaintiff did so, and continued the payment up to May,
last, at which time the balance at 94:105a remained due
to him from the defendant.
For the di fendant, it was attempted to show that the
whole of the money had been refunded to the plaintiff,
but the evidence broke down. A set off was, however,

ODESSA, OCT. 12.
We expect every day the news of the fall of Varna.
The Turkish corps which came to Ake relief of that
place is said not only to have been several times beren
by Our troops, but to be almost surrounded. Silistria
is likewise closely invested, and an attack of the enemy
on our redoubts has been repulsed with loss by General
Kreutz. The heavy artillery from Brailow arrived
before Silistria on the 22d of September. Affairs are
still in, the same situation before Schumla. General
Roth's corps has supplied the place of the troops sent
t 3 Yarna under Prince Eugene of Wirternburg.

SIMMS, Ocr. 13.
Since yesterday, the Turks here have been intoxicated
with joy, and talk of nothing but Victories gained over
the Russians before Varna, by their countrymen, who
they say have caused the siege of that place to be raised.
The
.Paths of Widdin,who sends this news to the Patin
of Belgradt., estimates the loss of the Russians at many
thousand men, besides a great quani ity of baggage, &c.
It was affirmed at Belgrade, that they had been obliged
to quit their positions before Schismla, which will be a
natural consequence of the giving up of the siege of
Varna, if that news should be confirmeet.
At Semlin, however, all these reports are considered
as deserving of little credit, especially as the Turks pre-
tend that Silistria has been relieved, and we know, on
the contrary, from Rood authority, that, fresh Russian
troops have arrived before that place, as well as the
• heavy artillery employed in the siege of Brailow.
• Lastly, it is affirmed that the Porte is sending above
50,000 men from Albania and Greece towards the
Danube. This last news has caused a great sensation
in Set via.—Augsburg

COMBER MERE.
General, Commander.in.Cbief.

(Signed)

Remarks by the Right Hon. the Commander-in-Chief:
The proceedings of this Court Martial were accompanied by an
earnest recommendation of the prisoner to the favourable consi.
deration of the'Commander-in.Chief. Considering the highly ere-
enable testimonials to character adduced by Ensign Tebbs, and the
ieeliog of deep remorse evinced by this Meer, from the period of
the fatal occurrence which led to the present ttial, the Conrepdvr.
in-Chief would gladly comply with the solicitation in his favour,
were it possible to do so with a due regard to the administration
of justice; *but it appears to his Lordship that the Court, in pro-
nouncing judgment, have themselves accorded to the prisoner the
All benefit. of those considerations, which might induce a mitiga-
tion of punishment.
It is clearly shown, that the fowling-piece was levelled at the
deceased in sport, in a moment of thoughtless indiscretion, and
that the discharge of the loaded barrel was an accidental event
never contemplated by Ensign Tebbs; yet the homicide which
ensued thereupon, though involuntary, cannot be deemed either
justifiable or excusable.
The Commander-hiJehief does not deem it expedient that the
penalty which the law apportions to its offence should be alto.
'ether remitted, and an imprisonment lff one month's duration is,
in kis Lordship's opinion, the least punishment which cap with
propriety be it.flicted in the present case.-
The sentence of one mo►th's imprisonment passed on Ensign
Tebbs, is to be carried into effect at Chunar.

The Paris Papers have given various reports of the

country. They speak of a large loan to a Power of the

know the principal cause of the meeting of the family,
which was to make a foundation of s Fadli commie a
patrimoine, and the sum to be employed for that obi ct
is four millions of florins; the capital, as well as the
interest, is to remain untouched until certain events take
place.

At a European General Court Martial, assembled at Dinapore,
on the 6th of March, 1828, of which Lieutenant Colonel G. Was-
DEN, ttf the 46th Regiment Native Infantry, was President, Ensign
George Tebbe, of the 12th Regiment Native Infantry, was ar-
raigned on the following charge :
Charge—" For manslaughter, in having, when on board a budge-
row, in the river Ganges, near Suter, on the afternoon of the 16th

piece, one of the barrels of which was loaded with powder and shot,
at Sewchurn, a native boatman, belonging to the budgerow, and
having then and there killed the said Sewchurn by the discharge
.1 the contents of the loaded barrel, thereby inflicting upon him
mortal wounds, of which he died on the evening of the same day."
Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision :
Finding and sentence—" The Court, having maturely weighed ,
and considered the evidence adduced en the prosecution, together
with what the prisoner has urged in his defence, are of opinion,

Infantry., is guilty of the charge preferred against him; and they
thereture, sentence him, the said Ensign George Tebbs,to suffer
imprisonment fur the period of one calendar month."

WAYS AND MEANS.

i The Casaseattes of the EICIII4OIII moved the Order of the ;
Day for going into a Committee of Ways and Means. 1
Sir ALIZANDIM Ow: in the Chair.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then I
moved that the sum of 2,154,6301. monies payable by
the Trustees of Naval and Military Pensions, be allowed
to be paid into the Exchequer, for the use of his Ma- I
jesty's service.
Mr. CALCRAFT regretted that at the end of five
weeks we had not had a Report from the Finance Cow
mittee on the subject of the public accounts. The Hon. 1
Member had heard with regret, the other evening, that
although the expenditure of the country was some 1
fifty millions .per annum, there were only nineteen !
or twenty millions of this to come under the cognizance
of the Finance Committee. There was now a great
difference between the gross and the net revenue
of the country, which amounted to 8,000,0001. sterling, '
which was taken out of the pockets of the people, and I
was a matter which, he thought, ought to be sifted- to the '
bottom. Another question—the establishment of the '
Commissioners of Customs and Excise--should be looked
into; for it appeared to him that those Boards might be
managed at much less expense. He doubted not the
ability or the diligence of the Finance Committee, but
as it was at present constituted, it would be hardly pos-
sib!, to get any Report of consequence until after Easter;
whereas, had the recommendation of his Hon. Friend
(Mr,Hume) been adopted, they would much earlier have
terminated ,their labour*, and the House be enabled to
legislate upon it in a short time.
Sir JOSEPH YORKE, after complimenting the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had been appointed
to his situation, without knowing that two and two snake
four, begged to.know whether that great modern Cocker,
Mr. Finlaisoa, had not made a very exaggerated state-
ment of the loss from the annuities ?
The CH ANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thanked
the gallant Officer for his. compliment on his arithme-
tical knowledge, and with respect to the Life Annuities
Repeal Bill, to which the gallant Officer referred, al
though he was satisfied the present system had
been the cause of some loss to the country, it was no-
to the extent which had been stated. Persons more
competent than himself had recommended the repeal
of the present system, and that opinion had been con-
firmed by a Atesolstion of the Finance Committee. He
(the Chancellor of the Exchequer) could assure the
Honourable Member (Nir. Calcraft) that the Finance
Committee had not lost sight of the general revenue. of
the comfy., and that. they were eagerly looking into
its expenditure. It was agreed to lay before the public
every particular of the expenditure, and to take mea-
i sure, according! . , , '

RROM• THR MORNING CHRONICLE.

`We are still unable to communicate any account of
*anew Mini4terial arrangements. Rumours of all ki
stet* afloat yesterday, but nothing positive was known.
As it is impossible that an Administration tan
'broken up without abundance of criminatioos and re-
criminations, it is much to be wished that something
filrean aethentic account of the circumstances which
preceded the resignation of Lord 'Godetich were laid
bef're the public, that blame may attach to those who
justly merit it. The public hare heard yet nothing ben
surmises and insinuations ; and though there has been
much loud talk irith respect to one individual, whose
same has been bandied about at a good rate, the ma-
terials for judging soberly are yet *wanting.
We repeat, that the Cabinet could not have been
broken up by Mr. Herries, and that it is puerile to
fasten on that Gentleman as a scape-goat for the sins of
the whole, which most have been many. We feel not
disposition to imitate, in matters involving the honour]
and character of individuals, the facetiousness of one
contemporary, and we shall therefore leave him to the
enjoyment of his mirth.

FROM THE NEW TIMES.
The Ministry is not yet settled. This is all that is
known, and all we have to announce. An extraordinary
rumour was in circulation yesterday, namely, that the
old Tories and the Whigs meant to eireetn junction,
and that the party that would go out would• be the
Tories of the late Administration. We can fancy to
ourselves the very curious predicament in which such
a conjunction, which, as extremes sometimes meet, is
not impossible, would place those, on the one hand,
who have declaimed so furiously and so long against
the Noblemen and Gentlemen who refusel to serve
with Mr. Canning, and those, on the other; who have
expended their wrath on the Noblemen and Gentlemen
who, at the time of the old Tory secession, joined Mr.
Canning.

JOHNSON V. CHIPPENDALE.

His HONOUR in a few words gave judgment
case. The point in dispute was, whether a chose us
action could be sequestrated ?
The Vice CHAhCELLOa observed, that there was a
solemn decision of Lord Eldon's upon this subject, and,
supported by that authority, he had no hesitation in de-
ciding that a chose in action should not be sequestrated.

*SOU THE FRENCH PAPERS, RICEIVID TIIIB 110RNING

BY Mt MAIL.

A letter from Ma rseilles, of the lOch JAn. says, 4, It
is this moment announced, that General Guilleminot
ias arrived at Toulon."

The Spedoteur Oriental says, under the date of
Smyrna, 9th, that Admiral de Rigny and Commodore
Hamilton have wiitten to their respective Consuls, that'
conformable to the Treaty of the 6th July, no merchant
vessels shall carry any ammonition or provisions to the
ports of the continent of Greece and the islands which
are the theatre of war.

Letters from Madrid, of the 14. th January, state, that
on the SI st December there were three hundred and
Sky thousand royalist volunteers in Spain, and that the
militia cost per year sixty millions of francs ; and it
appeared certain that orders hare been sent to General
SAiSFIELD to disband the army he commanded in
Catalonia.

Admiral RIGNY has written a letter to the Mcritime
Prefect at Toulon; dated Milo, 30th Oct. and 'Smyrna,
Ist Dec. stating his regret and indignation at the
continuation of the Greek piracies; the vessels Which
commit them are dispersed over the Meditetrannean,
and take refuge in places not .accessiblr.
From Constantinople they write, of the 31st of Dec.
that the Capitan Pada, in a.ttansport of zeal for the
service of his country, has exiled from the capital some
of the most distingoiihed Earn. Vhe new money,
Iwhich is at 2.5 per cent. loss,- is going to be put into cir-
culation, and the Government are going to pay their
debts with it: this has caused great anxiety to the

stated. The Arabs still occupy Tripolim. to the port

The first Division of the 78th Regiment of Foot arrived in

The first Division of the Royals left Paisley on Monday, and
embarked the same day op board the steam-boats at Renfrew for
Fort George; and the following day the remaining Division took
the same route.

of Union brought into that House in 1822, was
prompted by the English party in the Colony. with the
favoor and consent of Government. He anfied that
blame was justly imputable to thi Colonial Department.
He ascribed the discontent of Canada chiefly to the
unwillingness of the British part of the population to
submit to the French laws.
Mr. S. WORTLEY felt it his duty to bear testimony
to the fact,
.that the general sentiment among the Ca-
nadians was, that the major part of the blame attached
to the Colonial Department. There might be some-
thing in the irritation subsisting between the parties—
there might be something in the faults inherent in the
system of Government of this Colony ; but be the blame
divided as it might be, it was his opinion, and he was
sure those who had heard the inquiry above stairs
would agree with him, that a large proportion of the
blame attached justly to the Colonial Office.
Mr. F. LEWIS maintained that the evils of Canada
arose prirkcipally from.a &maid; mistake on the part
of the French Colonists as to their position. The Bri-
tish settlers would not submit to their laws and institu-
tions. The only effectual remedy would be, to give
them the benefit of the laws to Which they had been
accustomed, though he was aware that whenever an
attempt was made to carry that object into effect, the
Canadians would resist it.
Mr. Secretary PEEL thought it not quite fair, while
the inquiry was not yet complete, and the Report of the
Committee rot before the House, to cast general reflec-
tions on the conduct of the Colonial Government.
Mr. LABOUCHERE felt that he should ill repre-
sent those who had entrusted him with their Petition if
he did not disclaim any intention of indulging in cri,
urination.

Sir J. MACINTOSH denied the correctness of the*
statement of the Hon. Member for Worcester. There
might have been some speciousness in it, if the differ.
ences had been between the Government and the Eng-
lish population; but it was the French and not the
English colonists who were discontented.
The Petition was that ordered to be referred to the Select
Committee.

was directed. He contended, that if- the principle of
compromise were to be adopted, it was all in favour of
transferring the elective franchise to a great manufac-
turing town. He was no friend to theoretical reform,
but, by supporting the motion of his Learned Friend,
he believed would convince the House that he was
friendly to oractical reform.
Jr. L. FOSTER thought the best course would be to transfer
the franchise from East Retford to Manchester or Birmingham.
Mr. S. BOURNE said, he could not support the motion of his
Hon. Friend. He thought the House might with safety give the
representation of East Retford to Birmingham, or some other
great town.
_

Lord SANDON was favourable to the transfer of the right of
voting to Birmingham.
Mr. HUSILSSON and Mr. Pau opposed the Bill; and Mr. WYNN
supported it.

PRESTISSIbIO.

Mr. Scarborough, organist. of Spalding, has betted a wager that
he will strike on the piano forte one million of notes In 24 hours.
This singular wager is to be decided be lore the 29th instant.

PEDESTRIANISM.
A few days ago, a tradesman in Denbigh undertook for a trifling
wager to go on foot from Kiomel Park Gate, between St. Math
and Abergele, tb the top of Henllan•street in Denbigh, a distance
of between seven and eight miles, and on a bad Toad, in 59 minutes.
He started a five o'clock on Saturday morning, and performed the
task with great ease in the short space of 49 minutes, ur 17 minces
within the given time. It is rather remarkable that two Gentle-
men, who it was agreed upon should keep time, started with the
pedestrian on horseback, and with great difficulty came in with
him, the horses being much fatigued and quite wet with per-
spiration.

WRESTLING.

Yesterday a most interesting Wrestling Match took place in the
new ground of the Eagle Tavern, in the City-road. The match
was for 3820 a-side, between James Copp, a Devonshire nun, well
known to the wrestling ring, and Laurence Hanlon, an Emeralder.
About four o'clock In the afternoon the ring was well attended,
when some excellent bouts at single stick took place, and after-
wards some minor wrestling matches; at length the call tor the
appearance of the principals became general, and Copp first entered
the ring in the wrestling costume ; be was soon afterwards followed
by Hanlon, after which the contest commenced—S to 4on the
Irishman being repeatedly offered, but no takers. Hanlon was ulte
stronger man, but his opponent, it was evident, was not tar behind
him in strength, and far superior in science, as was evinced by Lis
throwing him the first foil, which was all but a fall. The second
was also a foil rather in favour of Hanlon, but the bets of his parti-
sans were not now so freely offered as at starting. Shortly Art-
wards Copp succeeded in giving him a fair back fall, and received
much applause. This destroyed all betting for the renr.inder of the
match, as the Emeraiders now considered the wisest plan was to
hold fast what they were masters of. The burst of applau'e in
favour of Copp 's first achievement bad scarcely subsided iieture the
Irishman again measured his length upon the lap of his mother
earth, in a most favourable position for an undertaker to make a
coffin for him by anticipation, and thus destroyed all the hopes of
his countrymen, who retired highly chagrined at the result of the
match, many of them considerably minus in pocket. Some minor
matches at wrestling followed.

LIFE.

Life is an ocean, where the tempests sweep,
And many a shipwreck marks the treacherous deep.
Vbere'er our course, Chance seems the helm to sway;
And on we go unconscious of the way.
The sails of some with happy gales expand,
While the fierce blast drives others on the strand;
But all at last in that calm haven rest,
Where no more whirlwinds agitate the breast.

company not so numerous as on former occasions ; the sport was
but indifferent. The Farmers Cup of £5O was won by Mr. Stain'.

others. The winning horses were so decidedly superior as to take
away the interest excited by public competition. The ball aad

now making, it is expected that the Meeting or next year will be of
superior attraction to the past.
