A letter from Malta, dated on the 11th July, advises the receipt of intelligence froth Zante, dated on the Ist July. This letter states that AZIRAIIIIII PAC II A, when he arrived in the environs of Tripolitza, found Urn the 'Greek forces bad set fire to that city, and had marched in different divisions to occupy the passes in the rear of the, Ottoman Army. • harms, we are assured, continued his advance on Napoli di Roniania. This circumstance is represented to have excited the fears, and at the same time the courage of the Moeeotes, who had assembled in great force to oppose the further advance of the Egyptians. The discord prevailing amongst the Greek Generals is the only • cattle of the succm which during the present campaicn has attended the invasion of the Nlorea. Thirty thousand Turks perished two years ago in a similar attempt, and me t e: tub, the same number of Eg)ptians could not fur a mcen mitt an united effort of the Greeks. Ireliare authority to state, that the article which ap- I pelted yesterday in the Ti nos, respecting the non-ratitication of t* commercial treaty with the Ilexican &public by hit assrry, is entirely without foundation. How a falni cation of such great import to the property of individuals obtained insertion in the " leading Journal" may per'uaps ha gl...ssed.

It is not intention to offer any . remarks on the particular ease." tvestigation cannot be in better hands, and we have no interfere with it. Our object is to attract the pub attention to a subject of the deepest interest, as con , with the state of medical and surgical knowledge in country, and with the fate, consequently, of every in itial, whether in an hospital or cut of it, *hose reco , from disease or accident must depend on the skill or ignorance of the physician or surgeon, to whose treat they must wholly trust themselves, and in whose humanly speaking, are " the issues of life and _ inquest of the Jury in the ease of Hammoun charge death to havebeen caused by improper surgical treatment. bad met with his accident lam a fall Whilst engaged in service of his employer. Whether the conclusion . the Jurors come to as the cause of his death be the , one or not, it is foreign from our purpose to inquire. presumption certainly' is, that as disinterested men; grounding their judgment on the evidence before them,' cause assigned in their inquest is the correct one. That &mild so be is lamentable ; but what are we therefore to Are we to infer that gross abuses exist in all the different charitable institutions of this description, and ap peal to this instance in St. George'S Hospital as a case In pant? Such a conclusion wculd be neither candid nor warrantable. Bin this we may fairly affirm, not judging from this case alone, but from cases out of nuitrber,-and occurring daily, that the state of surgical knowledgia,he sadly imperfect, and that the consequences are most dis astrous, and are daily felt, not in St. George's Hospital only, but in every hospital—not only in the metropolis, but throughout the kingdom. The question we are na turally led to ask here is—to what is this to be ascribed P . We answer—to the obstacles which in surgery retard the progress of knowledge, and by which the ptiLic and the legislature must continue to inflict misery and suffering Intensely and without end, unless they can be brought to look calmly on the result of the course they have been hi therto pursuing, and to adopt that enlightened system al policy which can alone remedy the deplorable evils which attend it. In entering on this subject, we have no other preliminaries to settle with the reader, than that he will divest himself of prejudice, and give to his reason all the benefit of mature, manly, and reflective deliberation. Without an exact acquaintance with the inward parts of the human frame, and the local situation of the organs, OD the regular action of which all health depends; with out, in a word, that complete anatomical knowledge of the bones, the veins, the vessels, the arteries, and the whole interior organization by which the functions of life in the human body are carried on, and on which all practical skill in the treatment and cure of disease and accidents by fracture wholly depend, no medicines can be safely admi nistered, nor can any surgical operation be successfully performed. Where this knowledge is wanting, all treat ment is empiricism, and all cure is the work of chance. Bat this knowledge, like every other, cannot be acquired without the means. Bodies then must be furnished for dissection, for it is self-evident that without the means it is belpossible to obtain the end. Mere complaining will not meet the exigency. It is quite right that we should regard the employment of resurrection men with horror. That the repose of the dead should be disturbed—that the loved relative, whose last remains we have laid quietly in the earth, should, in the dead of night, be torn from his diroud, is an outrage riot to be endured, and the law does well to punish the violator. But has the Legislature no further fast to perform? Is it not manifest that this im portant subject, as far as the matter of dissection goes, is Inc in which our private feelings, and the dearest interests At the community, are at variance ? It the science of autatumy is indispensible, and if, therefore, subjects must be supplied, is it not the imperative duty of Parliament to inquire into, and ascertain what means it may be expedient to adopt and sanction for the attainment of an object, so vast in its importance, and which can alone afford to the surgeon that information, " wilhout which," as has been most justly remarked, " the practice of his profession is murder." Before we stir up the passions and feelings of the public against any fatal instance of the ignorance and mistaken treatment of a patiett's case in any of our Dia• pensaries and Hospitals, let us first take into account the :insuperable difficnitim which our own prejudices, and the apathy of the Legislature throw in the way of that ,inoomka/ rderat:on, without which no physician or sur geon can cultivate his profession with success, or practise it with safety. We braise been led to say thus much with a view to ha ,press mere strongly on the attention of one reallikreitiO .valtiable extract which see have given in anottitit our paper, flow a periodical work, in which the subject. 4, pursued in detail.

On the 7th July a Royal Commissioner arrived at Cadiz from Madrid, with orders to forward the preparations for the expedition ao the Havannah. It was understood that the motive for this haste was to be found in intelligence received by the Spanish Government from the Governor of the Havannah, of a meditated attack upon Cuba by a condi zed Mexican and Chilian squad:tn. The Spanish ships fitting out at Cadiz are to proceed to Comma, to be joined by other vessels, and to sail direct for the Havannald. Extract of a letter from Ilavannah, dated June 7:— " Your newspaper paragraphs respecting our general situa tion have got to such a pitch lately that all the merchants here are about to publish a men to show at least they feel ima alarm for their persona or property, and that whatever I change may take place, will be effected with perfect unani mity, and not by bloodshed and revolution. The Colom bians may talk about invading us; but, believe me, that in saying and doing there is a wide difference; for my part, 1 believe the march of events t in Europe will be much more rapid than any hostile movement on this aide, and that in dependence smug be granted by Spain herself to such colonies as desire it. for ' independence will not suit this colony."—Phdadelphio Paprit.

Persaurto, Juts 15.—We have again received the melancholy news of more fires. On the Scl of this month, almost the whole villageof Honco( was burnt down in two hours. Of 250 houses only nine remain. The church was also destroyed and the bells melted. A Jewish family of eight persons unfortunately perished, • Bap xe wic IC, JULY 21.—Tile extreme heat of the wea ther has been accompanied with numerous fires in our vici nity, and other parts of the court try, which the great drought has rendered particular! destructive.

TRAWL or leetaxtr.—The English Market is now ac cessible to Irish produce in a feu; hours, no matter what may be the state of the weather • and the consequence is, that they export from Dublin Irish mutton, Irish lamb, Irish veal, Irish beef just killed, and Irish fowls just ready for the spit, together with Irish vegetables, in vast cargoes. All these articles are prickly disposed of on getting acmes the water, and the returns arc equally rapid and profitable . Hence, instead of the price of beef and mutton being now only threepence or fourpenee a pound, as was the case a short tune ego, the average rate at present is from sixpence to eightpeoce in enlarger towns, and'other articles arc high in proportion.

Tits' Caor s.—in consequence of the almost iinpreces: centeel continuance of warm weather, the greater part of the corn crops are nearly fit for the sickle. In Middlesex, : Essex, Surrey, Kent, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, and some other counties, law, quantities have already been I reaped. The quality and amount of the crops are exceed ! ingly various, some being plentiful, and full in the car, ' ! and others altogether as bad. The wheat, generally speak ing, is both plentiful and - good ; barley not quite so favour ; able. Oats and rye are tolerably good, but not so good as we remember in some former years. The accounts of 'the crops from the Northern Counties are generally favour ; able, but they will not, of course be down for some weeks yet. The hop account is decidedly bail, as are also the turnip prospects, which, as well as the other artificial and ; ' the natural grasses, suffer much from the want of rain. Potatoes, with the exception of some few favourul spots, ' ; have not been very productive. Those vines which were I not blighted by the spring frost present a very fine show of grapes. Some few other fruits have also profited by ; the weather ' • but, generally speaking, it has produced I: sad fall in the leaves of the trees, particularly those in very dry situations. The comet which has recently visited us may be seen in the North-cast, subtending an angle of about 30 degrees, from one in the morning until after three. To the naked eye it appears like a most brilliant star, but of a greater apparent magnitude than any of the planets. When viewed through a telescope, magnifying 75 times, it assumes the shape of the flame of a latnp with a broad wick. Perhaps smile of our astronomers may inform us whether this come( influences the weather. Some of the Parisian astronomers say we, shall have little or no rain until the end of the autumn, the disk of the sun being more free from spots than has been known for several years. A famous robber, named Reichelmairn, is the subject of general converrition at this moment, at Bremen. The (;azette published in that city gives the following account of him :—" Reichelmairn is a man of polite address, well informed, and elegant in his manners. He has carried the art of deception to the highest degree of perfection and 6- nesse, acid all the authorities with whom be has had to do, have been his dup.:. He has just been apprehended at Bremen, after having effected his escape from a ship which was to have conveyed him from Hamburgh to the Brazils. Rnichelinairn was born at lieideldwitn, and is the son of a postmaster. 't his individual is so notorious, and his rob beries are so numerous, that he is called the Cartorche AAc ntaad.

Yesterday t here were q ot many persona on the course, as in fact there was notbffigleortb seeing. Three horses (hunters) belonging to officers of the 17th Lancers, who are quartered here, ran heats for a sweepauskea of 55 sovereigns, which was won with ease by a horse belonging to Capt. Smith. Last night, by his Royal Highness's cornmaml, the comedy of the Road to Rata. with the farce of the Prise, or 2,3, 5,0, was I performed at the Theatre. Although in the early pact of the day a report had been industriously spread, that altnouith his Royal Highness had commanded the play he did not mean to honour the Theatre with his presence, a most numerous and fashionable au. titmice notwithstanding were assembled soon atter the rising t,f the ; curtain, and before the conclusion of the second act, almost every ; place was taken. The play having concluded without his Royal ' Highness having made his appearance, many began to apprehend 1 that the report of the morning was well litunded, while others looted wistfully towards the royal box. At length:just as the farce had commenced, a buz of applause begin to circulate round the Theatre, and his Royal Highness, accompanied by the Duchess of Rutland, Alt.

Last night the successful little comedy of " Quite Cor rect," and Mid is, were played to a crowded house. The former went off With the same Mat which has hitherto attended its representations. Liston as Grejan was irresisti bly comic. In Midas he was equally diverting. Madame Vestris in the latter piece obtained the most dislnguished marks of favour. She was encored in the favourite song of " Pray Goody." Mr. W. West played with infinite spirit and applause. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. Der Fre:saint?. was hut /right performed as originally produced at this theatre. We remember well, that the first time it was performed considerable opposition was manifested, but that was the first and last time ; the bold and original genius which animated it, bore it through the storm, and it has become an established favourite. We have seen it more than once ; but never with such a cast of the principal characters, Braham and Miss Paton person_ aged Eadvlph and Agnes; Miss Coward, the rising favourite as Ann. We have, certainly, heard the first in better yoke; but upon the whe!e we were much gratified. A new comic operetta, in plain English a farce, was af terwards produced, called Who's at Hume? or, Man and Wffe Inpre Marriage. In the first scene we are told by Mitten (Miss Kelly), and Schemetaell (Mr. W. Chapman), that they have both hired the same apartments for the mistress of the one and the master of the other, in order to bring about an accommodation without trouble to the parties, and persuade the Landlady (Mrs. Taylane) that they aro married, but that the lady Widow Solace (Miss Gray) believes her husband to be dead, and that they were now going to surprise them both. The Landhidy takes the bait. Captain Shapely (Mr. Wrench) and the lady take possession of the apartments much at the same time; a diverting scene ensues ; instead of re pairing an old breach which existed, they again quarrel, bid one another good morning about a (linen times, and finally sit down back to hack : the scene drops for out half a minute, is again raised, and we discover Captain Shapely sitting in his former position, but the lady gone. The Coptoin goes out, and Mr. Scruple (Mr. Bartley), his uncle, comes to see him. A great deal of eguivogitc, numbers of puns, double entendres, and plenty of laughter, ensues: the servants' plot is discovered, and all is put to rights. During the greater part of the performance, the house was in a complete rear of laughter ; when, however, the curtain fell, and Bartley came forward to announce it for to-morrow night, there was some degree of opposition. I This was occasioned, we suppose, by some persons con ceiving that their delicacy was hurt by one or two of the Puns ; but we beg leave to say that there are many pieces in possession of the stage which this little farce rivals in humour, and far excels in chastity of expression. The author could not have wished his characters in better hands. Bartley, as SClhple, was exquisitely comic throughout the whole; but the appropriate manner in which he announced it for representation again deservedly drew down as loud applause as we have for a long time heard. Thc only fault we have to find with the piece is in the termination of the first scene, where the author seems not exactly to have known how he was to dispose of his hero and heroine ; but in order to relieve himself front the dilemma into which 1 e had drawn himself, he fairly (Imps the curtain, gives time lot the lady to retire without degradation, then raises the curtain, and the piece goes on. This strongly put us in mind of the embarrassment of Buys, in the Critic ' in dia-. posing of his dead men. It must be altered, and the piece will no doubt have a'run. • Mr. Secretary Canning returned item attending the King at Windsor on Sunday, to the seat cf Sir George Warrender to dinner, at Clihlen, mar Maidenhead.

To effect this, several missions arm fi tted out, each failed in sticeessinn, and this eagerly sought locet i o n still remained unaccomplished.

MIA O'Beirne, ducgem totln 2d West India Regiment, to undertake the eonclattet of • inimical* Ti lobo. For this purpose he set out from Freetown, Sierra Wu, on the 29th of Junuary, 11121. After encountering dargpek r , during hardships, and overcoming difficulties of a nature Madan. nitude only to be conceived and appreciated by persona aukuslstri with the country and acs inhabitants, he reached Timbu, rude. forted the objects of his mission satisfactorily in every poiat, briat. ing with him Omaroo-Kroo, nephew- and representative of King Atinami.; numerous Chiefs. representing the dames census lying bet v. een Timbo and the colony ; and accompanied by ran bets of Youlahs, carrying gold, ivory, and cattle, for sale. li e turned, after' a journey of nine hundred miles. to Freetown, ea !l a 18th of April. in the same year, to the great surprise arid 5ei,,,4 lion of the civil r.nd military authorities. as well as of lIMMONI friends, many of whem previously considered the sueemesof mission to be visionory while none certainly contemplated melt expedition to he possible. An amicable and commercial treaty being soon agreed on. cod ratified by the Governor of the Colony end the Itepresentert Chiefs, the path to Timbo anti the interior was opened, and ha since continued open. Corntry produce soon poured in, and duly increased in quantity . • new life and vigour rapidly infused taw, selves into colonial trade. Of the cast improvement in this rum a tolerably Adequate idea may be formed from a document skid cannot be questinned, and which now lies before us, the Lei Leone Gazelle of Jan. I i 12.1. In it we find an savant of a innsiqr of the merchants and traders of the colony, nt.the house of Newt Z. timely and Babington, for the purpose of presenting N. O'Beirne with their thanks and a silver cup. Front the Corr.-• tee appointed to address him, we learn a fact at once of the cm gratifying and momentous nature, namely.--" that thelatele. mense arrivals of gold have exceeded, within the last sit monde the whole imports of that precious metal since the fitst estab ment of this Colony." When we consider that the Grit question Is now thirty-three years establiehtd, and the quantity of gold received from it by • the mother owetry, we confess that we should feel disposed to disbelieve this aatti ment of the present enormous receipts of that metal, did we tut find it made by persons of the highest credit, who were 'raisin* tin knowing its correctness, and who could have no possible-ma i fop such exaggeration. !'he results of thin enterprise did rot here; as was anticipated, the inducements to trade with Outdo proved infinitely greater than those offered by the trade in sla Accordingly this inhuman traffic soon ceased to be pursued abaft great extent of coat, where it had previously existed in full ripe Here, indeed, it may be remarked, that self -imatesigi 101fra Pff* foe the first time been tut ned to the support Of *dr Win eased hnmanity with more effect than could resula-aggpiproptiverwisek. gislative enactments.

Mr. O'Beirne, and having read his joinrsk we have no doubt but that Captain Laing will avail himself fide general obsfivationa and hints they contain. • Irkicus still further to prorcote the advancement of trade -- civilization, he left Bathurst, St. Mary's, in May, 1822, inertia explore the River Gambia; on reaching what is called " the Falk the Mandingoes, who worked his canoe, refused to go beyoid point which they declared to be the highest to which any a man, or even native, had ever proceeded; by the force of bi n Aired entreaties, lie, however, induced the, to accompany his I.° miles higher up the river; here, finding themselves so yond the object of their superstitious awe, and in a'couit , showing not the slightest trace of human habitation, they manna. and conspired to assassinate him for leading them into melt vile he was, therefore, obliged, reluctantly, to-return home.
