Letters from Venice say, that General Goura has gained another victory over the Pacha of Negropont, who, after suffering great loss, was obliged to return to Eubea, and evacuate all the districts of Eastern Greece, which he had for a time occupied- On the I lilt of July, at ten at night, a fire broke out In the Palace of the Pacha of Salonichi, and in a very short time all the apartments, the harem, the stables, and the immense buildings containing the residences of the Kiaja Bey, and of above two thousand persons attached to the Royal Household, were destroyed. Above thirty other houses shared the same fate, and the ruins co ver a apace of above a quarter of a league in extent. The engine and firemen of the Consulate, after trying in vile to save the Palace of the Pacha, turned their attention to that of the Aga of the Janissaries, which they preserved from destruction. The Turks accuse the Albanians in the suite of OMIT Vrioni, and the Albanians accuse the Janissaries. The Pacha was on horseback all the time of the fire. [From the Courier de Dar R61n.1 The approulling dissolution of the Commission of 3fayence has excited some sensation in Germany. Public opinion has entirely changed upon this subject, and the German Princes have perceived that the fanatics alone have sought to inspire them with imaginary fears respecting the pretended plots of the demagogues, who ex isted only in the heads of those who had an interest in making them believed to be real. The Prussian Government has equally recovered from its fears, and has acknowledged that it could do without so much severity, and that it had even gone too far. 'With regard to the liberty of the press, it is now known that Prince liletternich has not succeeded in his proceedings with the Governments of the second order; but he has succeeded in recommending a strict execution of the system adopted by the Diet at Frankfort, and the Censors have received orders not to suffer any articles to pass that can create the least difference with other Governments.

By the letter we have, in another column, extracted from the Constitutionne/, it will be seen that Spain conti nues in the same lawless and distracted condition. The Monkish or Apostolic Party, as they style themselves, actively carry on their intrigues for the dethronement of King FEaassAND; and when their more daring instru ments have recourse to open rebellion, as in the case of the Trappist, they are almost ready to deliver him by main force from the hands of justice. It appears that when this man passed through Saragossa, the royalist volunteers and the snob strongly manifested their disposition to set him again at liberty, but the military escort by which he was surrounded was too powerful for the intended rescue. The turbulent gang ultimately took their revenge on the Constitutionalists, whose houses they plundered. In con sequence of these excesses, it was judged necessary to send for a detachment of French troops from Pampeluna. It is clear, that unless the French Government will withdraw its forces wholly from the Peninsula, and leave the parties there to settle their fate among themselves, the necessity for this sort of interference will never cease. The KIN° has confirmed the judgment of death passed upon the brave Etnpecinado, whose services during the war with BONAPARTE have not availed to save him from the venge ance of his enemies. The only favour he has obtained is, that his limbs shall not be separated after his death. This is the extent of the mercy shown to him by men, who but for such exploits as he performed would never have had the power of inflicting their malignant punishment upon him. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. This was a Ilolytlay at the Bank, and up to half-past twelve o'clock not a single bargain was done in Consols• After that time there was some degree of bustle in the market, but it arose entirely out of business connected with Friday's settlement. The price continued the same all day, 89M. The common result of limited business—considerable languor, was apparent in the Foreign market, as the f 01.., lowing quotations will testify :-0111 Spanish Bonds were 24a, and the New 1714. Greek Scrip was reported at' 12ii discount. Colombian Bonds at 831/, and Mexican Scrip at 4 discount. Brazilian Scrip was a good deal affected by the late news respecting the unsettled state of that empire ; it declined to .514 discount. Some bargains were done in the new Guatemala Loan, at to I discount.' This is a six per cent. Loan ; the amount is 1.428,571/. Bs.

In the Share Market the business was not ' extensive, and prices consequently were not on the advance. Anglo- Mexican Shares were 10,73, and those of the United Mexi can Company 21 to 3. The new Potosi Company's Shares have gone back to 511. In other Shares there was scarcely a variation. In Mincing-lane the sales of Coffee went off heavily, at rather declining prices. Purchasers of Sugar appeared indifferent, and that depressed the market a shade. Although the new %Vhcat that was brought into Mark lane this morning was remarkably fine, millers would not buy at last week's prices. The King of Prussia, who is now at Spa, will, on the 11th and 12th of next month, at Cobientz, review the Bth corps of the Prussian army. The Government paper of Hesse-Darmstadt of the 11th of this month contains the following publication : " Henceforth the Reformed Church and the Catholic Church shall be treated in equal manner with the Lutheran Church in all the forms which they shall follow, by the common law ; and, from henceforth, in all mixed mar riages, the children, without distinction of sex, shall follow the religion of their father, unless in the marriage contract it has been otherwise stipulated in an agreement relative to the religious education of the children. This law is not to have a retrospective effect." The statue of the Empress Catharine 11, executed by the Swedish sculptor, Professor Goethe, at Stockholm, is finished, and will be removed next month to Pctershurgh. It is of white marble, and of the natural size. The Empress is represented sitting on a seat of an ancient form, hold ing in one hand the manu scr ipt o f t h e R uss i an co d e w hi c h sh had ordered to be compiled ; with the other hand, which is suppor:ed by a globe, t.lie holds oat an olive branch. By the Frankfort Papers, which arrived yesterday, it appears that, in the 18th Sitting of the Swiss Diet, held on the 4th of the present mouth, the preaidit n , Canton Is commissioned to renew its efforts to obtain from France the restitution of Dappenthal, which has not yet taken place, though it Was decided in the Congress at Vienna that itshonld be given up. The Nuremburg Correxpmdent contains a lung letter from the Rhone, in which it is st a t e d, t h at s i nce t h e arri sal of the nets:Captain-General in Catalonia, the situa tion of that part of Spain has been much ameliorated, and that the Ultras are discomfited. In Arragon, however, they are said to be in full form, and to have even preclaimed Charles V, openly. STATE OF SPAIX [From the Coestitatiormel of Monday.l MADRID, Auo. 11. (PIII,I7•TE CORRESPONDENCX.) The Royalist Volunteers of Saragossa have just given a new proof of their insubordination, and of the little respect which they entertain for the orders of the King when they are opposed to those of the party by which they are di rected. The following is an account of what has re cently occurred : The Government, not wishing that the Trappist should remain in Navarre, even in custody, gave orders for his being conducted under a strong escort to a Convent in Lower Arragon, which made it necessary that he should pass through Saragossa. The inhabitants of that city being apprised of the day on which the Holy Man would pass through it, the Royalist Volunteers assembled early in the morning for the purpose of meeting his Reverence, who appeared at the gates of the city surrounded by a numerous escort, who were themselves encompassed by an immense crowd of volunteers and people of the lowest class. The mob thus collected rent the air with the most seditious cries, ending them all with that of Liberty to the Trappist! and accom panying them with various menaces aiainst the escort, but which were not followed up by any acts of violence, be cause at that time such was not their object; besides the escort was very strong, and bore a formidable appearance. The Trappist thus passed through Saragossa without the' least measure having been taken by General Satnper, who is a great partisan of the Apostolic Body, to quell the tumult. When the Trappist was gone out of Saragossa, the volunteers and the people who accompanied them re turned into the city, and dispersed themselves about the streets, behaving with extreme violence towards the Con stitutionalists (which seemed to be the real object of their assembling together), several of whose houses they plun dered. Such was thifstitte of things at themoment when the courier who conveyed the news to the Government left the city. General Sampet has been deprived of his situation, and it is affirmed that a strong detachment of French troops has marched from Pampeluna for the purpose of re establishing order at Sara g ossa. It appaars that the forced levy which has for some time past been actively carried on in Galicia, in order to in crease the nutnber of men whom the government wish to send compulsively to Havannah, has ended in producing great discontent in that province, towards which place Go vernment has ordered several corps of the provincial mi litia to proceed. The King has just confirmed the judgment of the Corre gidor of Iloa, who condemned General Empecinado to suf fer death. The Corregidor, who is an old enemy of the General, directed that the latter should also he quartered, but the King has not confirmed that part of the judgment. General Empecinado is to be executed at Valladolid. The permanent Military Commission of Madrid was dissolved the day before yesterday. SADLFR'S WELLS THEATRE.

LONDON, THURSDAY, Acousr 95, 1845. 'Cie French Papers which w•e received laa night bring onl) vague and contradictory reports from Greece. Accord ing to letters from Constantinople, containing advices from the Morea to the 9th of July, IBRAHIM P&cu& remained in the plains of TripoTisza, and the Turkish troops recently ' ]ended by the CAFITAN PACHA were proceeding to join him by way of Leondari. There was a report also at Syra that Isaattix PacHa had succeeded in burning Corinth, and that COLOCOTBONI had afterwards entered into nego- Nations with him. On the other hand, letters from Ve nice positively assert that the Greek General, Got: as, has gained another victory over the Pacha of Negropont, who had been compelled, in consequence of this disaster, to - vat:draw all his forces from the district of Eastern Greece, which was in his occupation. These reports all rest on • very doubtful authority. Most probably it will turn out that none of them is founded in truth. We still look with anxiety, and not without hope, for the confirmation of the ' defeat and capture of IBRAHIM PACHA. The Jesuits in France are making a rapid and steady pro press to the possession of wealth and power. It is stated that , they have lately asked the Government to give them the ing and estate of the " Val de Grace," in order that they may • establish a house of their fraternity ; and such is their in fluence, we are told, that preparations have been begun for the removal of the military hospital, by which the " Val de Grace" is now occupied. The prosecution of the Con3ti tutionnel and the Courrier Francais is another proof deci sive of the increas..d and increasing power of the eccle siastical party, and especially of the Jesuits. Those two journals have published the Procureur-General's requi sition for their suspension at full length. It is a declama tory paper, very well written as a political pamphlet in de fence of the Government, but to Englishmen, accustomed to see justice administered in so different a manner, it must have a singular appearance is a judicial document. The formation of a camp on the frontiers of Spain has not been suspended. Two regiments were to arrive at Bayonne on the 19111 instant, and would take up their quarters outside the town.

Accounts from Feodosia state that a ship had arrived there from Redut.liale, in Alingrelia, laden with tobacco, walnuts, walnut tree plants, and 'other articles, which is a proof of the intercottrse between Mingle,lia and the coast of Natolia, and shows, too, that from the moderate duties commerce begins to turn towards 111in grelia, which country will become in time a staple for the trade, not only with Georgia and Persia. but with the South of Russia. Supplies of corn continue to arrive at Feodosia, both by land and by the sea of ?t sof. The harvest in general had suffere d but little from the locusts. STOCKHOLM, AUG. 6. The Royal Family is still at Rosenberg. Mr. Kenner, a merchant of this city, has asked and obtained leave from the Government to establish a post like the twopenny post in London. The same is the MC with Mr. Charles Knab, a Saxon, who, in the name of a society formed at Dresden, has asked leave to seek for and work, at his own expense, salt mines and springs. AUGUST 9. Notice has been given that letters front England will be taken in at the Post-office here en Friday, at the same time with the letters for Germany, in order that they may reach Gottenburgh on Tuesday, in tune to be forwarded by the packet boat. Numerous couriers continue to olive here ; within this week three English couriers, despatched by Sir B.

The manufactories lately burnt down at Gripsholm were insured for less than 120,000 Al dollars. The loss is at least three times as much, not to mention the suspension of the profits.

Alvarado, Spanish Charge d'Affaires in that city, has presented two Notes to his Excellency Count iiretterstceit, relative to the sale of several Swedish ships of war, destined, as M. Alva rado conceives, to reinforce the Colombian marine. The first of these Notes not being expressed in very clear or precise terms, an evasive answer was returned; but the succeeding one was couched in much stronger and more definite language, on which a reply was transmitted from the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which he stated that he must decline all further explanation to M. Alvarado, until the latter had received express orders on the subject front his Government. A letter of the 12th inst. from Iron, states that the Trap pist, Maragnon, has been conducted to Moan in Arragon, a convent of his order, with an express recommendation to the Superior not to suffer him to quit it. It is now confidently stated that the mines of Spain will immediately be worked by an English Company, and as the undertaking is under the direction of an eminent house ' connected with the late loan, it is to be presumed the in terest of the bond-holders will not he forgotten.

Last night was produced at this theatre a new petite comedy, in three acts, entitled Roses and Thorns, or Two flosses under One Rog!: It will not be necessary to attempt any formal or lengthy development of the plot of this piece, which is equally meagre and involved in its construction, and reconciles the ( usually ) contradictory qualities of paucity of incident and confusion of design. However, as many of our readers may have no other means or opportunity of forming an estimate of its merits (for we are not disposed to augur any very long or splendid success for the present production), we shall take leave to lay the story before them " in little," and give them the following inkling of its contents: — Sir Hilary Heartsease (Mr. Liston) is a gay hearted portly bellied country gentleman, fond of taking a view of the bright side of human nature, arid very unequally yoked with a certain vineger souled half-brother, Sir Valentine Verjoice— " A little more than kin, and less than kind," who is represented by Farren. Under an eccentric provision in their parents' will, the brothers are enjoined to live both under the one roof; and the daughter g Sir Hilary is ordained by the same authority to be joined in wedlock only to such person as her father and his antagonist brother shall mutually agree on. The first difficulty (that of the common house for the two families) Is got rid of by rur.ning a brick wall through the centre of the premises, which serves effectually to put a stop to the differences which, as niight he expected, immediately arise between brethren so dissimilar in habits and disposition. It is the business of the play to get rid of the second difficulty, In as far as it relates to the marriage of Julia (Mrs. T. in.) Apromising young Officer, who rejoices in the cuphonous title of Frederick Ficzalwyn (Mr. Vining), appears to be the happy man on whom the election of both brothers pitches ; and the piece opens with his arrival on the birth-day of Julia Heartsease, which, it is deter. mined by her father and uncle, shall be also that of her mar riage. But Dii, oilier visum—Julia had been " taking lessons" in love and literature (the phrase in the play is somewhat grosser), " under another master,' one Blandcour (Mr. Raymond), and Frederick is equally averse to the proposed match, having himself been captivated by Rosa Appleton iss P. Glover), a pretty little grisette, whom he makes captive in return, and carries off from her father, to a romantically named cottage among the hills. Well, the plot thickens, perplexities increase, and confusion becomes worse confounded, till at last honest Ralph recovers his daughter, ' brings her before the two Baronets, who are both in the commission of the peace, and claims redress and revenge against the (to him) un known destroyer of his daughter's innocence and his own peace of mind. In this crisis, by some strange and inexplicable means, Blandcour is induced to take the seduction of Rose Appleton on himself, and tacitly admit, as his own, the guilt of Frederick Fitz alwyn. The two brother Justices insist that the injurer shall right the deceived girl by marrying her, on pain of being com mitted to the tread-mill in case of refusal, and the scene change.. The last scene opens, and Julia Heartsease is smuggled in in the dress of Rosa, and by means of this ill.contrived anti improbable trick, the union between her and Blandcour is effected, which done, Frederick Fitsalwyn. now that all danger is over, comes msg. nanimously forward to offer his hand to Rosa Appleton, as a re paration for the injury her honour had sustained through his means. Of course the offer is accepted, tire happy couples are united, the characters form a tableau, Liston makes a deprecatory speech and a grin, the rest of the performers make sundry obeisances, and the curtain falls. All true play-goers will see the nature of this pro duction at once from these observations, and observe that their old acquaintances have been pretty liberally drawn upon in the construction of the story, which dis plays a very fair selection of the common-places and absur dities, long the heir-looms of a certain class of dramatic writers; but there are sundry other characters and inci dents, one of the latter is (to us) original :—We allude to the scene in which Artilla (Mrs. Gibbs) puts her head into Admiral Vetjuiee's tie wig, for the purpose of ornamenting her own pretty head and exciting the laughter of the gal leries mingled with the hisses of the pit. Such a trick as this might do very well for a farce; hut is somewhat ont of place in a comedy. Then as to characters. There is the Chevalier Hailelton, in which Mr. Harley acts the part of a red waistcoat and a striped pair of pantaloons; Mat Marline, introduced for the purpose of giving little Wil liams an opportunity of talking sentiment as a sailor; and Ralph Appfetoh, a water-colour copy of Joh ThovaberrYi with a dash or two of liolamo in crayons. The latter character was topped by old Mr. Pope. Of the actors, we need only say that they were Farren, Liston, Harley, Mrs. Hill, Miss Glover, and Mrs. Gibbs, to evince that the piece lacked nothing of support as far as the stage was concerned, and the nature of the charac racters would allow. Sir Valentine Veijuice, the old Admiral, is the only one of them, however, that possesses any considerable degree of merit, and it was admirably supported by Farren, who was as snappish and impatient as heart could wish. Mr. Liston came on the stage stuffed, and we are sorry to say that the jest (as far as the author was concerned) lay in his belly. Of course we are now only talking of the dialogue of the character, and mean no imputation on the abilities of the man of mighty face, and his " Becks and rods, and wreathed smiles." These were as good as ever, and very potential to excite laughter ; but our old friend, in the uncouth corpulency of French wadding, strongly reminded us of Quinbus trin (Gulliver) among the Lilliputians. App Rees was only a type and shadow of him ; and, as a lady near us re marked, he afforded the finest contrast imaginable to the Monsieur Seurat, the living skeleton. We had only one check on our enjoyment—the wadding was too heavy for the heat of the weather, and the jokes were heavier— we dare say Liston sweated under both. With regard to the dialogue in the commencement, and during a good part of the first act, it was of a nature to raise our expectations of something better towards the con elusion, but the spirit of it flagged where it should have been most studiously supported, and our hopes were doomed to be miserably disappointed. The love and pathetic scenes in the second and third acts are tedious and ill. conceived and executed, and, as they now stand, a great incumbrance to the progress of the piece. We should re commend their curtailment, but are doubtful whether even that would be sufficient to render the present a stock piece. In the dialogue there are occasional instances of grossness and freedom which we were a little surprised to meet with in the present day, and under the auspices of our deputy licenser. What has George Colman been about? Look ing to the title of this piece, we fear it will be found to possess more " thorns" than " roses;" and though it was not, theatrically speaking, absolutey damned, yet the " thorns" arc scarcely entitled to be called " cardui be nedicli." The Count de Villele gave a grand dinner on Friday last, to the Duke of Wellington and other distinguished personages. Madame Vestris is engaged at Covent-garden for the ensuing season. Mr. Macready and Mr. Kean are going to America. Mr. Young is not at present engaged at either of the metropolitan winter theatres. Velluti is engaged by Ebert; for the Italian Opera next year. His singing in the same Opera with Pasta, whose master Velluti was, is likely to prove attractive. Lord Ilurgliersh, whose musical taste is proverbial, has recommended to Mr. Ebers some extraordinary and original compositions, which were performed at Florenct! during the last winter with vety great success, in the choruses of which the horn, and other inatruments, are unusually and: most powerfully effective. The Noble Lord has sent to . Florence for the score of these popular pieces, so that sum cient time may be allowed for their being produced in a' perfect state at the King's Theatre. Der Frit:Mod:: was brought out at Rotten on the 19th instant with eminent success. It is as popular there as at Paris. Mr. Sapio, of the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, with his wife, having crossed on the 20th instant from Port Patrick to Belfast, took their places (inside) by the Belfast day mail, on that day, fur Dublin, to make good his engagement at that Theatre, his first appearance at Dublin being fixed for the 2'2d instant. They had only proceeded thirty miles on their journey, when an opposi tion coach ran foul of the Belfast day mail , and upset the. latter. In consequence, a poor woman on the outside was killed on the spot—a man had his legs broken, and is not expected to survive the immediate amputation.—The coach was broken to pieces, yet, providentially, Mr. and Nlrs. Sapio, who were inside, escaped serious injury, Mrs. Sapio only sustaining a slight bruise on her head and a scratch on her face.—Mor sing Parer. l'wo of the Commissioners for inquiring into the Public Revenue have arrived at Gritnsby. They will thence pro , cern) to hull ; and, report says, are to inquire into all the circumstances connected with the port and docks at the latter place.—Borlon Gazette. We understand that the late rpring tides did not disap point the expectations excited by a paragraph, respecting them, in a late number of the Slanqorcl Herm!, : they flowed sttongly and diffusively for nearly a week, and were by far the largest and the fittest ever known, on our coast, so curly in autumn. • SHIONABLE LVTELLICENCR.

I.GllAllf RACES. srcoxn DAY ( WEDNESDAY). The company to-day was less numerous than yesterdar, but much more fashionable, many being kept away by ilia excessive heat of the weather, which, to the great regret of all present, occasioned the absence of most of the hor ses entered for the principal stakes, the ground being extremely hard. We were sorry to observe a full proportion of tle vs. rious tribes of plunderers, who form the sine qua non of a race course, and the games of haphazard, une-deuz-einqu e , &c. were, as usual, played with impunity. It is much n, be regretted that the example of the Canterbury police (who on Thursday last cleared the course of them) is not followed here and elsewhere. The betting men were here in much greater number' than were expected, and a good deal of business was done on the St. Leger at the following odds, which were taken to a large amount, and by which it will be seen ths: Cleveland is again locking up.

The preparations for this magnificent Festival, both at the New Music Hall and in the Minster, are rapidly draw ing to a close. We believe the interior of the Cathedral will be nearly completed by the end of this week, and will, from the addition of the side galleries, and their decorative ,fronts, in strict conformity with the noble architecture of the church, present even a more striking appearance than at the last Festival. Mr. Ward has been engaged during the greater part of last week in preparing the organ for this interesting treat, and on account of the orchestra project. ing 15 feet further into the nave than on the former occ!i• sion, the distance to which the conductors to the keys will have to be carried will be much greater. The facilities kr ingress and egress will be much increased, so that it is rut• . pored, on the conclusion of the performances, the whole et the numerous assemblage will be enabled to leave the Mir. ster in about ten minutes. The appendages on the outside of the Cathedral are of a most substantial kind, and the entrances will be effectaally secured from any contingencies of the weather by a roofing of elate. Staircases are erected leading to the upper side gallnies, through the windows at the west end of the south and north side aisles. We alluded on a former occasion to the pains taken for the securing an efficient chorus. and that Mr. White, one of the assistant conductors, was hold ing local visitations, for the purpose of practising the singes at the several surrounding towns. We understand that that gentleman attended a meeting of the Choral Society at Hull, on Wednesday last, when a part of the new male to be performed at the Festival was rehearsed. The pieces were a chorus from Israel in Egypt, two motets by gio• zart, Handel's Gloria Patti, Rex tremerula• from the Re g uiem , a chorus by Himmel, and one by Haydn. The whole of these were executed in a ve ry superior ityo• Mr. White expressed himself highly gratified with the performance. Much anxiety has been manifeciel by the public as to whether any member of the itis,'; trious family of the Roy a l P atron o f t h e f es tival was"' honour it with their pre-ence; we have before alluded t the subject, and, however desirable such an event may we as yet have tio reason to suppose that will be the ca so .
