GREEK Pitt ACM&
The strict strict neutrality observed by the British Govern-
ment in the War between the Greeks and the Tus ks, and
the :moderation observed towards the piracies of the
Jana, have led to outrages-of the most daring

Iges that cannot longer be permitted, or pass
uopunished. Unworthy of the name of Greeks are those
who fight, not for the freedom of their country, but for
private plunder ; and it is an act of justice which the
Greek Government owes to its own character, and to
the nations of Europe, to use every means in its power
to put down those brutal marauders. Not only should
the Greek armed vessels be ordered to attack the pirates,
wherever they may be found, but every island or port
which receives the plunder of neutral nations should
be declared infamous.

We, a short time ago, mentioned the plunder of the
brig Helen, and we now insert a copy of a letter from
its commander, Capt. POINTS, giving a most interesting
account of 'the
...daring outrage, committed on that
vessel. Had it not been for the firmness of Cipt. POINT!,
the loss had not only been still greater, but it is probable
that himself, and several of his crew, would have been
massacred by these savages :

had gone on board a vessel not far off, and plundered her of provi-

vented their doing so. The convoy was slid& time in sight, but too
far off to render as any protection. We were theiefore obliged to
stand silent spectators to the indescribable kayo tarry* on in all
parts of the ship, with but little hopes of their sparing oar lives; for
on finding a caseof pistols in the hold, they began to slow the fury
of their disposition, by heaping on us the most horrid imprecations,
with oaths and menaces too bad to describe. By eight o'clock their
last boats were completely loaded. One of the convoy by this time
was very near us, otherwise they would have taken every package
out of the ship. During the time the plunder was going on, and
every thing in the height of confusion, five or sit of the principals of
the pirates went down in the cabin, and called me down also ; but
finding that I could not understand them, they immediately called
for Mr. Allen, a passenger, who understood their language. They
then seised me, with their knives all unsheathed In their hands, and
said that they were informed of my having money on board, and if
they should, after my denial, find any, they would instantly pat me
to death. Afterwards the most vigilant search was made in all parts
of the cabin. The gold eluded their pursuit, by being stowed undo
all the bread in the bresd-locker, together with all the, watches; ice

.the Empire, in presence of the principal Officers and Commanders
of _Corps, including the General Staff of the Janissaries and all the
Chiefs and Commanders of the several divifions. At the last meet-
ing the Hatti-Sberif on the new organization was read, and signed
and settled by all present. Every means to render it palatable was
used by pointing out the superiority of the discipline of the Egyp-
tian troops.
The Ortas of the Janissaries jo Constantinople are then ordered
to enrol themselves in the new weeps. -Every Pacha of three
tails must organize 10.000 men, and every Pacha of two tails
7,000, is his province. The Officers shall receive higher pay, and
the privates thirty pares per diem, besides bread and rice, and be
quartered in barracks of their own.

EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL FOR MURDER.

PROM OUR OWN C )RRISPONDRNIT.

Y 0111:, Juiv 14.--RECEIVED BY F.XPRP.S.S, THIS DAY.
This day being appointed for the trial of Leonard
Wilkinson, for the dreadful murder of Mr. Carter, at
Finghall, in the North Riding of this County, on the
inth May last, the Court was crowded to excess. So
'watch interest had the dreadful crime excited, it having
been perpetrated on a public high road, on a summer's
day, and the apprehension and the committal of the
murderer effected under circumstances so peculiar, as,
to be almost romantic, that the avenues leading to the
Castle were early thronged with people, all eager to
catch a glimpse of the wretched man as he proceeded
to the Court for his trial.
Precisely .at nine o'clock in the morning, Mr. Baron
flut.t.ocx took hit seat on the Bench, and immediately
after Wilkinson was brought into Court by the turnkey
of the Castle. He plea led " not guilty" with a harsh
tone, and looked vacantly abont. He is a young ma ),
but of almost Herculean make, and although he af-
Ected an air of indifference, the convulsive movement
of the lip, and the hurried turning of the eye, displayed
the inward horror and dismay of his mind.—The case
for the prosecution was conducted by Messrs. Juana
and ELSLRY, at the instance of the parish.
There were above 36 witnesses, who -depose I to the
rnost'extraordinary facts concerning the prisoner's con
duct, after he had perpetrated the dreadful deed. before
his apprehension—indeed it would appear that he hai
robbed an murdered his unfortunate victim,. in order
to be enabled to pay a few trifling debts with his booty.
The following is a general •outline of the evideace :
MT. Carter was an extensive "flour factor,- residing at
Crakehall, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and occa-
sionally attended the markets and fairs around the
county. He was known to col'ect in his debts himself,
and had the repute. of always carrying large sums of
money about him, and upon the day of his death, a
rumour was circulated at Leyburn fair, that he had
received a large deposit upon an estate which he
bad sold. At half.past three o'clock on Friday after-
coon, the 19h of May, he I.ft Leyburn fair, on a
grey pony, with two dea!ers, named Allan and Robert-,1
lam, and they rode in company towards Crekehall,l
along the Pa rick Brompton Road. Mr. Allan, in the
course of the journey, perceived the prisoner, whom he
knew, walking inside a hedge, very fast, and seemingly
anxious to avoid observation. At &Alto.) Brooke, about,
twelve miles from Crakehall, the party separated, Mr.
Robertson having bu,iness at Burton Hall, and Mr.
Allan somewhere else. Mr. Carter, on leaving his
friends, proceeded at a foot pace forward, and the last
t me he was seen sensible and alive was at Constable
Burton, where he received half-a-sovereign and two
half-crowns from a woman named Ann 13 sys, for some
corn ; this was about.twenty minutes past four ; lie
then went.on in the direction of his house., About ten
minutes before this, Leonard Wilkinson was seen
burrs ing through Burton Brooke to. Akebar Road,
and be was afterwards seen by other persons iii different
places, lurking as if waiting for some person.
Ab.out halipast tour o'clock a Mr. Plew, of Crake-
ball, a neighbour of Mr. Caster's, was returning,
on the. Akebar road home, whin his horse shyed
at a grey pony, which WAS erasing by the side
of the road. • Mr. Plow recognised the_poisy to be his
'friend Caret's, and upon looking along thed,oild, he
saw Mr. Carter 1) ing on his side in a gore of blood,
and close to him *sets a broken rail. Mr. Plew dis-
mounted immediately, and, approaching the body,
called " Nicol Cait2r,' several times, and perceiving
him totally senseless, he rode back to the turnpike for
assistance, and exclaimed to an old woman named
Alice Dent, " Ohl here's a sad misfortune, here's Mr.
Carter nearly deadpn the road." He rode on for further
aid, and related to several the horrible circumstance:
—On returning again to the spot, he found the deceased
in the same state, and the blood had ceased to flow
from his head. He examined his
_clothes,
.and found
that his pockets had been rifled of their contents, no-
thing remaining but an old memorandum book,'which
was smearei with gore. The impression of a bloody
hand aas made in the dust, and also the maik of a,
man's knee, as if the murderer had kneeled by the side
of his victim to rifle his pockets with greater facility.
There were- no signs of a struggle; the deceased had'
been struck front his poney by a desperate blow of the'
woodden rail, .vl.ich had snapped in two from the force
of the blow. It being found impossible to render
Mr. Carter any assistance on the road, he was placed
in a cart and carried to his home. His hot-6e ap-
peared as if it were sensible of the death of its
master, as it followed the cart into Crakehall.—
Mr. Carter was placed in bed, and his family were
almost paralised with horror upon bearing the dreadful
circumstance that had befallen him. He was instantly
attended by Mr. Campbetl, surgeon, of Bedale, who
discovered a general hard swelling had diffused itself
over the right side of the head, and he was obliged, in
order.to discover the fracture, to make a crucial in-
cision of the scalp, when he -found an extensive frac-
ture of the right parietal bone; he resorted four times
to trepanning, which was not of the slightest use, a
great portion of the scull having pierced the dura
mater. . Mr. Carter never recovered his senses, and
expired the same evening. Upon examination of the
head after death, the fracture was found to be above
seven inches in length, and was accompanied by two
branch fractures, one running across the sagittal suture
an inch and a half long, and the other over the caronal
suture two inches long. Mr. Campbell pronounced
those injuries to have been caused by a blunt instru-
ment, such as a wooden rail.
The Counsel for the prosecution having described
the antecedent circumstances attending his death, and
the ogle of it, proceeded to call their witnesses to
establish the chain of circumstances so peculiarly fixing
the crime upon the unhappy man at the bar. At about
twenty minutes before four o'clock, he was
_seen by a
man named Bearpark walking thtough Finghall ; he
Was dressed in a mixed drab coat, and wore gaiters ;
the same person saw him in Crakehall on the Sunday
after the murder, and he was then dressed in the same
manner. It was stated to be a most singitlar fact, that
the wretched man came into the very town, and within
a few doors where his murdered victim's body lay; a
reward being offered at the tie for his apprehension.,
He was also seenabout the time of the murder, walking
close to a hedge in the same dress, and a woman named
Till saw him running through a place called 0 Wild
Wood," at about a quarter before five o'clock.—
She took particular notice of him in consequence
of his broad shoulders. A man named Illingworth
saw him about a quarter fast four, walking in the
direction where Mr. Carter was found, across a seques-
tered place, through which thug was no thoroogisfases
