A ge neral m,eeti should then be called for the purpose of dispatfar fit emissary to America, to put the Greek nutty frigate, whic was nu t dbtained there, on her way ; and also to tend aid to those places which still continued in possession of the Greeks. &mold they, however, unfortunately lose Napoli, Hydra, and their other posts, from that moment they were ho longer a Government, but a set of nameless Brigands, utterly unworthy of consideration. Being anxious to avail himself of the suggestions of others, he would leave it to some one else to propose resolutions in conformity with the views be bad disclosed. Mr. W. • CLaat wished to know who had the application and disposal of the money; for that person was clearly the responsible party. It must necessarily have been paid to some one, in order to its ultimate appropriation. The OILMAN said that Mr. Ricardo was the banker. Mr. CLARK said that two years' dividends were in the hands rf Mr. Ricardo, and it was desirable to knowl how be paid the money, and why the steam-boats, which were locked up in the Ricer, had not been suf fered to proceed to their destination.—The sum of 80,0001. had been paid to Mr. Galloway for completing' them; and that Gentleman would perhaps tel the Meeting why they were not sent out. It was said that a want of completion in the machinery had occasinied their delay. Some parties were certainly most deserving of censure, and ought not to be suffered to escape it. A reason of a political nature was given by some for the delay of the vessels—namely, that Mr. Galloway's son was an engineer in t to service of the I'acha of Egypt, against whose eine, ests it was not for his father to work. Mr. ltoiszassosi here called Mr. Clark to order, as departing from the proper objat of the meeting specified in the advertisement. Mr. CLARK thought he touched upon a proper object of inquiry. He was most anxious to ascertain how far the authors of the mischief were accessible; and it was worth while to inquire what was the power of the Deputies. The Caanuukx—l took the arms out of their hands by that statement which you have beard. A SHAZZBOLDZIL complained that little had been effected by the first loan, though it might have been made available to the protec tion of Navarino, which two frigates and three steam-boats might have saved if sent out in time. Mr. BOWRING, in reference to the disposal of the first loan, took occasion to pay a high compliment to the memory of Lord Byron, as well as to Colonel Stanhope and Mr. Gordon. An arrangement proposed by the Committee was defeated in consequence of L rd By ron's lamented death. Mr. Itriagarsorr said, that the P.tcha of Egypt was now in such a situation as to be an object of no great apprehension to the Greeks. It was consoling to think, that the misfortunes of the land of literature and heroism were not beyond repair. Its cause was one to command the sympathies of the whole world, and he looked upon the glorious struggle of Greece for liberty, as " Freedom'. battle, once begun Bequeathed from bleeding Sire to Son, Though often baffied—always won." hear).—lie would now move a Resolution, th.t the Meeting, viewing with alarm the delays that have taken place in forwarding assistance to the Greek Patriots, them it necessary to appoint a Committee to inquire into the causes which have led to such delays, and as to the appropriation of the last Loan contracted for the , ervice 01 the Greek Republic. . _ This Resolution baring been carried, the following Gentlemen wrre named of the Committee, any three of them to be a quorum —lion. Col. Stanhope, Mr. owring, Mr. Hume, Duke D'Alva, 111 r. J. Holbrook, Mr. Prevost, Major Cochrane, Mr. Robertson, Dlr. Louisado. Mr. BAILY defended the conduct of Mr. Galloway, who, he s; id, had received no more than 13,0001. from Mr. Ricardo, a id who would shortly come forward to remove the obloquy which had been thrown upon him. lie made a proposition to Mr. Ricardo, the effect of which, if accepted, would be to render the ships fit for the expedition before six weeks. The CHAIIIM&N acquitted Mr. Galloway of any sinister design. lie believed he only wanted capital in the present instance, and ex perience in the particular description of work required. Mr. W. CLanit said that this disclosure only threw additional blame on these who ought to have supplied Mr. G. with money. The marked thanks of the Meeting were then voted to Colonel Stanhope, as well for his services rendered to the Greek cause gene rally, as for his very proper and dignified conduct in the Chair; and the business of the day terminated. r GREECE. That the Greeks have been lately making fresh efforts in various quarter., and that those efforts have been at• tended with considerable success appears evident from the intelligence contained in the Etoik. Accounts from Salonica to the beginning of July describe their appear ing in the Gulf of Cassandra with a fleet of 36 sail, con veying 3000 men, and of their landing 2000 on the coast, penetrating as far as Paliros, defeating Omer Paella, and alarming the city of Silonica itself. In the conflict, in which he was worsted, Omer is said to have peisonally exposed himself to great danger, and t have only been saved by the devoted bravery of his old and faithful Albanian Officers, sixty or seventy of whom perished in his defence. The loss was the more sensirsly felt by the Pacha, as they were men on whom he relied as much for protection against the Porte itself, as against the enemies of the Turkish name. So closely does he seeni to have been pressed by the triumphant Greeks, that ho raised and armed part of the population of Salonica, and sent them to reinforce his army, in consequence of which the invaders re-embarked, and slued in the direction of Sikia, carrying alarm along the whole coast of his Pachalik, and compelling him to follow them by land, or to build towers and forts in ex posed situations to prevent a second landing. At this period, and as though to augment his difficulties, he heard of the revolution at Constantinople, and received the firman which directed him to dissolve the Janissaries under his command. With this order he was no doubt glad to comply, as the Janissaries had always been hos tile to him, and in one instance had rebelled and would have destroyed him but for the devotedness and bravery of his Albanians; but the task was not without danger] According to the latest advices, however, he had suc ceeded, and the Janissaries had surlily yielded a reluc t4,it obedience. The advantages gained by the Mainetes ever divisions of Ibrahim Paella's disciplined Arabs are confirmed from so many quarters that they can no longer be doubted. Calcutta Government Gazettes to the 3.1 March have arrived. By the latest advices from Bhurtpore, it appears the army had not actually separated, but it was expected to break up shortly. A pan would, pro bably, remain embodied with Sir CHARLY3 MRTCALIR until the arrangements with the ALWAR RAJA were finally settled. The Commander.in•Chief, Lord Cow RERMIRE, was expected to set off fur Calcutta on the '2oth January. On the 17th his Lordship held a cavalry review. E EVENING STAR. LONDON. .-.

On account of the 1 !Ague, which has broken cut at Bucharest, orders have been given, that the quarantine for persons and effects on the frontiers of Transylvania, towards Wallachia and Moldavia, shall be twenty-one days instead of ten. This order has been in force ever since the Sd of August. On the 6th of this month, the theatre at Hermann stadt was burnt to the ground. It was discovered to be on fire at four o'clock in the morning : the evening before, a piece, called the Devii's Mills, in which there were many Qre•works, had been performed.

His Royal Highness the Grand Duke has been pleased to issue to-day, as his fete (or Saints' Day), a general pardon to all deserters who shall present themselves, within three months, to the civil or military authorities. ASCHAFFENBURG, Atroust 26. This afternoon, between five and six o'clock, a salute of artil lery, and the ringing of all the bells, announced the safe delivery of her Majesty the Queen of Bavaria of a Princess. The Hamburgh Papers contain the substance of the Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, clawed into on the 26th of April last, between the Court of Denmark and the Government of the United States. By hi. Treaty, the Pasties contracting agree to treat each other on the same footing as the most favoured nation. No indulgence or advantage is to be given to any other Power by either of the Parties here contracting, which shall not immediately be granted to the other Party. The vessels of each country may freely visit the coasts of the -ether, and cars y on a trade in all kinds of manu factures, and enjoy all the privileges of native citizens and subjects, only obeying the laws and usages of the respective countries. The coasting trade of each coun try is, howeeser, an exception to this regulation. Foreign produce may be imported into American ports in Danish slips, on payment of the same duties as would be paid on the same produce, if imported in Ameri can built ships, and American vessels are to -enjoy the same privileges in Danish ports. The manu factures of either country to be imported into the other on payment of the same duties as paid on similar articles the produce of other countries. Ame rican vessels to pay no higher Sound Duties than the vessels of the most favoured nations. This Conven tion is not, however, to extend to Iceland, the Faro Islands, Greenland, or places beyond the Cape of Good Hope, nor is it to extend to the direct trade between Denmark and the Danish West India Colonies; but it is agreed that every article which can be legally the subject of export or import, as regards those Colonies, may be imported or exported to or from the harbours of the United States, or of any other foreign State, in the ships of either party, on payment of the same duties. There are several other provisions relativi to the ap pointment of Consuls, and it is further agreed, that the Treaty shall be considered as entered into for a period of ten years, after which either party is to be at liberty to give a year's notice of its intention to let it expire;, and it is accordingly to cease and drermine at, the ex piration of one yesir after such notice shall be given. The Treaty was signed at Washington on the 26th of April last, and the ratification was to be exchanged at Copenhagen eight months subsequent to that date, or sooner if possible. The Etoik of Sunday states, on the authority of letters from Constantinople, but without •ouching for the truth of the information, that Mr. STRATIORD CANNING had presented a note to the Divan, in which he declared that Lord COCHRATIII was an adventurer who had esca ped from England, and whom, in case he should be taken prisoner, the English Government would not claim, as he was no longer consideted a British subject. This is said to have been done in consequenee of the importunities of the Porte, and of its repeated complaints that a British Nobleman should have been allowed to take service against an Ally of England. The Etoile publishes the following official Dispatch, addressed by the Nephew of MAYnomicAte, and two other Chiefs, to the President of the Greek Government : " VziQA Amoy), Juvr I. " I learn this moment by an Express stnt by my uncle Alavro mi. tale of Cape Grasso, that the number of the enemy who remained dead in the field at Zimora amounts to more than a thousand. The lessenger who was in the action informs us, that out of 1,500 Arabs who bad landed, Doc more than 200 escaped by running back into the sea and getting on board their boats. Whilst they rushed into the water, our men pursued to kill or to take them, without suffering the fire from the 'assets to check their impetuosity. Those vessels soon after disappeared. We have ale satisfaction to assure your Excellency of the truth of this fact. (Signed) B. MayggigicA La, P. CAPITONINACiII, G. CARANDARACCIIL" We have received Cape Town Gazettes to the 10th of June. The following are the particulars of a violent gale which occurred there on the sth of that month : CAPE TOWN, Juils 9. ft is with much regret that we record the effects of a violent gale from the N. W. which has occasioned some damage to several vessels in Table Bay. Happily for the Colony, the much-dreaded north-westers of this Port have, of late years, been of rare occurrence ; that which commenced on Monday being the first that has been experienced to any extent since the memorable 20th and 21st of July, 1822. The gale, as in the instance just alluded to, commenced with the new Moon, and continued to blow, with occasional intervals of more moderate weather, until about an hour after sua-set on Wednesday, on which day, about half-past two r.m. the Duke of Gloster, coasting schooner, having parted from one of her anchors, slipped the other, and went on shore to leeward of the Jetty, where she now lies, with out having sustained any material injury. The brig Nautilus, bound to the Mauritius, having, during the day, been driven into shallow water, where she struck the ground,"went on shore on the beach, near the military Hospital, about 4 p.m. where she lies nearly dry at low water; but it is impossible to say what damage she may have sustained until the cargo is landed. The mercury in the barometer at 8 A.m. on the morning of Wed nesday, was at 30 02, and gradually declined until half-past three P.M. to 29 77, where it continued steady till four, when it began to rise. Shortly after sun-set the wind shifted to the southward, accompanied by torrents of rain, and the gale abated. We simply call the attention of our Readers to tke Report of a Meeting of the Greek Bondholder., in the preceding columns. Comment is quite unnecessary. BRIGHTON, SEPr. 3. Since the departure of the Duke of York, there ball been no ar rival at the P.dace. The Marquis of Queensberry and family, it is said, will be here to-morrow. Lord Lake came in yesterday. A house in Brunswick Terrace Is engaged for the Earl of Abergavenny ; and another, on the Marine Parade, for the Earl of Cardigan. It is in contemplation to build a new and splendid suite of As sembly Rooms. Mrs. Fitzherbert entertained a brilliant circle of Nobility, at her &eyne Mansion, on Friday evening.

Mr. WILMOT-HORTON left Richmond Terrace on Sunday afternoon, for the neighbourhood of Newmarket, on a shooting excursion. Dispatches, dated Malta, July 31st, and Gibraltar, August lath, were received yesterday morning, at the Colonial Department. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Foreign office from Lord Gnainvittr, our Ambassador at Paris ; and from the Right Hon. FRIMItRICK Lam, our Ambassador at Madrid. Mr. DYKES. the King's Messenger, arrived at the Secretary of State's office for Foreign Affairs, on Sunday evening, with dispatches for Mr. Secretary Caminito, which, it was under stood, were from the Right Hon. Sir H. Wntutstsr, our Aruba,. suitor at the Court of Vienna. Mr. BALL HUGHES said the other day he was very fond of Hebrew—" Of Hebrew," said Sir H. Comte, " Why, Hebrew is Greek to you."—Ji I confess." said Mr. BALL, " I do not understand it, but I like to look at it, for it is all mark and dotty.' Among the most successful sportsmen on the Ist of the present month was Sir Brass FAutenza, Bart. and bis brother, the Captain of the glorious SHANNON; they brought down nineteen brace and a half of birds on the manor of Mr. W.

At Worship-street Office yesterday, an old man, who bad the appearance of having once moved in a respectable sphere, but who now is evidently labouring under insanity, was brought up by the parish officers of Islington, charged with sleeping in the open air on Sunday night. On being put to the bar, he appeared very indignant at the officers who bad brought him there. On the Magistrates desiring him to give an account of himself, he said his name was Lord Butler ; that a Gentleman residing at Ongar, in Essex, had committed a forgery on him to the amount of 3,000,0001. which had been obtained front the Bank of England. He bad suffered very getiously from being imprisoned eighteen times, through a set of fellow, who had conspired agaiase him. He had been starved almost to death, and deleterious articles had been introduced into his food in order to destroy him. The unfor tunzte man kept on in a strain of similar improbabilhies, till the Magistrate, after a kind admonition, permitted him to go about his business. The pootleilow, on leaving the office, bowed respectfully I to the Magistrates. DEATH OF LORD GIFFORD. Yesterday morning about six o'clock, Lord GIPFORD, the Master of the Rolls, died at his house, on the M a . rine Parade, Dover. His Lordship had been there about tea days, and was much indisposed on his journey to Dover. An inflammation in the bowels took place on Saturday, which continued, in spite of every medical exertion to stop its progress, until yesterday morning, when death put a period to his Lordship's severe suffer. ings. According to Burke's Heraldic Dictionary, hi s Lordship was in the 47th year of his age, having been born at St. Leonard's, in the county of Devon, on the the 24th of February, 1779. On the 6th of April, 1816, he married HARRIET MARIA, daughter of the Rev. EDWARD Dams, of Broadenbury, in the same county, by whom he has issue, two sons and three daughters. His Lordship was appointed Solicitor General on the 9th of May, 1817, promoted to the Attorney General. shjp July 17, 1819, and elevated to the Bench and Peerage on the 80th of January, 1824, as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and B.tron Gireono, of St. Leonard's. His Lordship was subsequently in the same year appointed Master of thb Rolls, whets he resigned his Chief Justiceship. He was also Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords. He is succeeded in his title by his eldest son, Ronan. FRANCIS, now, in his tenth year, Lord GIFFORD. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. Last evening, after tlse new Farce of Before Breakfast, which continues nightly to increase in public estimation, we were introduced, after a twelvemonth's absence, to our comic friend Jonathan in England. The performance of this character by ISlevuzws last evening had all the drollery and truth of former representations, and was (if o possible) received with in creased applause. The cossic manner in which he mingles Ameri. can liberty with Negro slavery is rich and characteristic iti the ex treme. The Song by him was encored, and the repetition was varied with an excellent and pointed squib at the mania fur specu lation.—Beneter, as Sir Leatkrdip Grotssfeede►, supported the part of the Alderman with his usual ability.—Suman made his 6t st ap pearance this season as Agamemnon, and was very favourably re ceived.—Kramir had nothing to do but to look very stupid —an accomplishment in which he particularly excel.. The house was fashionably attended, and crowded to an overflow. THE CORN LAWS. A general expectation seems to prevail that Parlia- ment will immediately on its meeting proceed to the consideration of the Corn Laws, and that the issue of its deliberation vein be to substitute for the present mode of protection to the landed interest of the country, that of a fixed and invariable duty on the importation of Foreign Corn. The crops of corn in every country, in any one year, being subject to deficiency or excess from the operation of causes beyond human controul, the supply cannot, as in those articles which are created merely by human industry, be accurately, at any given period, appor tioded to the demand. Native is usually found, how. ever, to be bounteous or niggard of her gifts to dif ferent count' ies, not all at once, but in succession, and she thus points out the necessity of that mutual inter- course by which partial redundancy and partial dearth may be perpetually blended into universal sufficiency. This is the argument, and it is one to which neither policy nor humanity can refuse to listen—in favour of, not certainly unrestricted freedom of the foreign corn trade, but in favour of the utmost degree of freedom which is compatible with the internal condition of every particular country. To ascertain, as nearly as possible, the degree of inequality between England and those foreign coun tries with which her dealings in corn would princi pally take place, in the costliness of that cultiva tints which the regular consumption of their popula tions respectively demands, is a. preliminary conside ration of the most delicate and important character. Having attained, or approximated to this knowledge, it then remains to inquire by what regulations of their mutual traffic this permanent and indelible inequality may be best counterpoised or compensated, so that the Advantages of free intercourse may be secured to the utmost extent that is compatible with the security and protection of our domestic agriculture. A constant duty upon the importation of foreign grain to an amount which, added to the necessary costs of transit, will compensate the disparity of expense be tween English and foreign cultivation, seems one of the most obvious and natural, as it is certainly one of the most simple and efficacious modes of attempting to secure to the English cultivator an equal chance with foreigners in the markets of his own country. But it would seem scarcely to be enough that the English cultivator shall be placed upon a footing of equality with foreigners in the markets of his own country, if he is to be left upon an inferior footing in. or altogether excluded from all the other markets of the o orld. The nation which imports upon every failure of its native crops, and which never exports at all, cannot keep up its average pro duce to an equality with the average demands of its people, and will therefore be, to a certain extent, de pendant upon a foreign supply. A duty upon importa tion equal to the average difference in the expense of cultivation between England and other countries (minus the cost of transit) ought, therefore, to accomplish the perfection of the system, to be accompanied by a bounty upon exportation equal to the same average difference of the expense of cultivation, plus the cost of transit. In this way the produce of the soil of England would, in every market, foreign or domestic, be floated upon an equal footing with the produce of other countries, and we venture to say, that in no other way whatever can this desirable object be attained. It is a strong recommendation of this system of duties and bounties, that the proceeds of the duties may be-ex pected in a series of years to equal the amount of bounty to be paid, so that the Exchequer will not be enriched from a source of revenue of all others the most my:)• pular and odious—the food of the people ; nor, on the other hand, will the protection of British agriculture be a direct expense to the State. A cricket match was played at Dieppe last week by English Gentlemen, at the request of the Duchess of Beau, who is taking the baths there—her Royal Highness was attended by :the Duke of ()exults, and all the beauty and fashioo of the place. —The gallant Sir &burr Sum was also on the ground,—After .Ati hour's play, her Highness asked when they were to begirt, And on being told the game was proceeding, she retired, saying she 4aw no amusement in men running about.
