PIMPS commenced publishing yesterday morning at a quarter part tiveu'rlurk. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, At:Gust If, DM. The intelligence we gave yesterday from the Augsburg. Gatettr, through the I Vile, respecting the fall of Ipearai WAS tan:timed in the eaurse of the day by the receipt of private letters from Smytna and Ttieste. This great dis aster to the Gr mks was followed by the submission of the ts'noil of Samoa, which, territiol at the fate of *lw Ip as riates. surrendered, without waiting for the arrival of the Turkish fleet to summon it. Neither of these islawils is, I with respect to its extent, population, or resources, of much importance to the issue of the struggle. Ipsara was valuable, principally for the spirit of its fearless and skilful sentner, who were enthusiastically devoted to the cause of tl:eir country, and had rendered it several essential ser vices during this contest. These gallant but unhappy islinders are now no more. 'lather than yield again to tie Ottoman yoke, or expose their wives and slaughters to t. `e horrors of Turkish clemency, they perished together, amid the bunting ruins of their native homes. ttreek valour, in its brightest days, never shone snore illustriously. The Capitan l'arits, it appear', premised them foritteeitsisi if they would submit; but the Ipsariotes spurned the in sulting been with contempt, and declared their fixed reso lution to die in defence of their freedom. The formidable, power under the command of the Turkish Admiral enabled Lim to attack them on every side; and after a desperate I resistance, almost without its parallel in history, they were overwhelmed and destroyed; but not till they had inflicted a loss, it is stated, of is,oiro men on the part of their u;:pressors. The capture of this island is to be regretted, AS d-eply afflicting to humanity, and as calculated to pro. lon amt imbitter this sanguinary contest. Ti. laireie. of the Divan will revive,-end rivers of blood he spilled in the vain and wicked attempt to restore their sway over the emancipated inhabitants of the reloponnessus. Some other islands will probably be compelled to submit ; but we do 'not apprehend that any inroad can be made upon the independence of the continent. If the dissentious of the Greek chieftains he not quite allayed, their common danger will cow induce them to unite, and the heroic example of the Irsariettcs will animate every breast to con quer or die. The letters from Smyrna allude to the anticipated de cline in the value of the Greek loan ; but the news of yesterday produced comparatively little effect on the money. market. It is believed that the remittance made to Zante has not been paid over to the Greek Government; and it was intended, previous to the arrival of this intelligence, to cancel the loan and repay the advance to the bondholders, after deducting the expenses incurred in the transaction, 1 which we are informed do not exceed 4 per cent. This de termination originated in the differences that have prevailed between the contracting patties, and not, we are assured. lin any alarm respecting the success of the Greek cause. Sai YANA JI - LY IS Imam oac Hum by the fleet of the Capitati Pacha'on Saturday, the 341 irmant (July), at Us o'clock a.m. The fleet appeared before the island on Friday, and the Capitan Paella sent in two flags of truce before- he conintenciA the attack, promising a free and full pardon to the island, if they would lay down their anus. The first was sent hack with a message, "That sooner than submit every man WAS detcmlined to die." The second fared worse, and was unt back with his beard half shaved off, and with a message, " That they were waiting his attack with anxiety." The attack comnimeed at four o'clock, a.m. on Saturday morning, on the west of the island, where about 11,000 men were landed, whilst a feigned attack was making on the batteries in the poet, on the other side of the island. . . . . I;w;;gentral about six o'clock, and the Capitan Puha, acting himself complett It-sou:et of the island, and willing to stops further effusion of bliattl,isstird a proclamation, promising 509 piasters for every fireek prisoner bmught to the camp alive. A good ntany vessels in the pun are said to here escaped. Thus has the that attacked, and une of the islands said to be amongst the most formidable, fallen neatly without a struggle. 1 fully cal. culate that this is the forerunner of other successes on the part of the Turks; and it is a problem, to me not easily solved, to what rate of discount the Greek Lew in England will fall. JULY We have later and more detailed accounts from Ips.va. It ap. pears that all the tire ships, and about ten or twelve armed Greek vessels, were burnt by the 'Turks, and that eighteen or twenty others strtick their colours. and had the Turkish flag flying when the last accounts came away. About ten or twelve of the beat tireck vessels, with the richer Greeks at board, with their families, and it is said the truistic treasure, escaped at the commencement of the ntmek, without lighting at all, telling their betrayed coun trymen that they were going to attack the Turks in another quarter of the Island, to cause a diversion. The Feet of St. Nicola, with a handful of men in it. was blown up by the Turks on Saturday morning. The Turkish :fleet will go next to Santos, i which will must likely be attacked in a very few days. P. S. The 1431311 4;1 Samos has sent in , its submission, ar.ol ex presses hare been sent off to Constantinople and to the Capita+, Dacha s deet, to announce the event. A Tartu passed through here this morning, bearing the express. TrtirsTE, JULY 27. The island of 'Nara, a little north.west of Scio,liAs been" at tacked by , the Turks : tilii was a small place, but the inhabitants were considered able mariners, and brave determined men, whom the Slusselnten resolved to extirpate. After a desperate resistance, which is stated to have cost the Turks I:i.ftedl men, the place being 'strong, they succeeded in gaining ion of it. The =riving Ipsariotts, reso lv in g to let their wives and daughters fall into the power of their foe, mindful of the fide of Seim 'iambicd the remaining population in the fort, and blew themselves up. involving multitudes of their con q uerors In their destruction. The Islanders, about 8 or 10,1100 persons, were thus all destroyed by the sword, ur their own Act, in this tragedy." The Report of the Select Committee, appointed last session to consider the expediency of consolidating and amending the Criminal Law of England has been delivered. No subject can be more deeply or extensively interesting. The report is remarkable for its brevity. It consists of only four resolutions, and a single introductory paragraph, and is to the following effect : Your Conaniuce, having called before them Anthony llammoad, of the Inner Temple, lie submitted to them the vipers marked Nos. I, 2. 1, and 4, which form the .Appendix to this Report ; and having maturely considered the sane, your Committee came to the following resolutions : I. Resolsed, That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is expedient that the litatutcs relating to the Criminal Law should be consolidated under their several heads. 2. Resolved, That the Chairman be directed to move frt. leave to bring in bills, pursuant to die above resolution, consolidating the Criminal law, without any amendment or alteration. 3. Resolved, That it is expedient that certain omissions and anomalies in the present state of the Criminal Law he brought under the consideration of the House, with a view to remedy the same by Legislative l'rovisions. 4. Resolved, That the Chairman he directed to more for leave to bring in bills, supplying such omis s ions, and remedying the ex isting anomalies; such amending bills to be wholly distinct from the consolidating bills. The following is the list of what is contained in the Appendk:— No. I.—Mr. liammond's introductory Observation. 2.—Present State of the 14. w n For;ay. 3.-I►raft of a Bill to consolidate, anicial, and declare the Law of Forgery. 4.—Plan upon which the Law of l'orgc..y has been conso lidates!. General Enactments. Bank Enactments. The labours of Mr. Hammond have beets directed with gYeat sagacity and sliligenc.: to Cie important object he had in view. The mass of materials he has gathered together is curious and instructive. We shall to-morrow give some extracts. Robert iVihnot Horton, Esq. the Colonial S. crctary, arrived in town on Monday evening, from Holland. By letters received on Monday from Plymouth, it ap pears that the I)iamond frigate had put into that port, to await the arrival of Mr. Morricr, the British Commissioner for Mexico. In the Appendix to the Calcutta aorernment Gazette of the Nth of February, it is stated, that Guinblieer Sing, against ohm the Burmese had taken the flul,l, has wile, over his claims to the Raj of Cuchar to the British Govern ment, and sought protection in our camp. At the date of the last accounts from the squadron be fore Algiers, itn adjustment, upon the principle of abiding by all the stipulations of the Exmouth treaty, had been made; but a new difficulty arose when it seas understood that Mr. :Macdonald. the British Consul, was to resume his functions. The l)ey had then positively refused to re ceive him again. He has since probably seen the necessity of yielding to circumstances. Advice% from Smyrna to the e3ll of June state, that the British Consul at Alexandria had published the Manifesto of the Greek Government, denouncing all neutral vessels, which should lout themselves to the Turkish Government for the purpose of invading ©recce, and the consequence had been, that all British flags had refused to waist 111 any way in the threatened invasion. The Consuls of the other European Powers waited for instructions from the /babas , sailors at Constantinople, by which they might regulate their conduct inspecting the Greek Manitc:to. By the last arrivals from Mexico we learn, that the march of General Bravo, with a considerable force, to ;mulalaxara, had excited great jealousy and alarm in the state of Xalisco, of which that city is the capital. Xa lisco is one of the principal members of the Mexican Fe- tli ration, and the Governor had signified, in a despatch to the Supreme Executive Authority, that if General Bravo) invades' the State, be would repel force by force. The Xaliscan Congress was in secret deliberation when the last I advice; came away.

The long projected scheme of building, by subscrip tion, a rough massy pillar in commemoration of the battle of Waterloo, upon the summit of Aconbary Hill, neat I loreford, is about to be carried into effect. Ilur IA N Maxese s.—The College of-Surgeons lately made an application to one of the executors of the late John Hunter, the celebrated surgeon, fur a vast number of manuscripts left by him, relattog to physiology, and comprising numerous experiments and new views of physiological science. They, however, have learned with regret, that these valuable documents have been consumed by fire. Many of the curious Lets contained in them have, however, appeared before the public in another form, in papers read at the Royal Society; but still the loss of so large a portion of manuscript physiology, from so able a surgeon and anatomist, cannot but be deeply re gretted. On the 2.5 th ult. w :s celebrated at Magdeburgh, the Snoth anniversary of the day when Martin Luther first preach,tl as a Reformer in St. John's church. The new Prussian Liturgy was used for the first time. Much has been said by a contemporary relative to the order recently issued prohibiting persons from carrying small bundles or parcels through St. James's Park. We have been, on this account, induced to make some inquiry on the subject, and base been given to understand, that the order was altogether misunderstood by a few of t h e sentinels just relieved from recruit drill, and that the order only prohibits large baskets or parcels. The conve nience of passengers crossing the Park to Chelsea and the neighbourhood of Queen-square 'honk! be consulted as ,much u possible ; a,d we have no doubt that such is th! intention on the part of the cfficer who has the care of S:. James's Park. Mr. Bishop, of the Haw-street police, has bccn sojourn ing at Boulogne-sur-Mer during the last week i to the no little solicitude of many of its visitors.

The subject has been referred to the high legal authorities at Paris, hut it is rumoured that they demur to any active interference to restore the ward. A terrible fire has destroyed above 100 houses in the town of lwritz, in Prussia.

Ancher match between the tame parties is in contemplation. METuon or SAVING TURF SHILLINGS.—A labourer of Bridgewater, having been severely scolded by his wife for neglecting his work, endeavoured to appease her wrath by informing her that he had, since the morning, saved three shillings ; having drank, at one of the illegal cider shops, twelve quarts of cider at three-pence per quart, for which, had he drank it at an inn, he must have paid sixpence.— Balls Juurnaf. A ISEctemes LECACY.--A bear whose constant eta, lion was the door of the church of San Carlo, at Milan, left as a legacy to the canons of the church, a hat which he was always in the habit of wearing, 'for the purchase of four painting s as altar-pieces to the church, which were to, be cxecuted i. by four great Italian masters. The executor to the will was in doubt whether he should present the whimsical legacy, when a friend of the deceased entering, seized a pair of scissors, and on making an incision in the' old castor, out dropped eight hundred pieces of Florentine gold, which had been ingeniously imbedded in the lining. This man, before turning beggar, had exercised the profes sion of the law in the Cisalpine republic.—Netrs of Litera ture: and Ea.thion.

'ONES. tiers:xi - its, Mask% kr. , In looking at such a list of characters, and at the names i of the persons sustaining them, one would tr.re been led to expect something respectable—something to fix the :men- Ilion or provoke the laugh ; but for three whole hours were we drugged with situations filched from other authors, and I with music which every frequenter of any of our theatres, ' mist have heard before. (fur readers naturally enough', expect from us some outline of the story ; but in this ex j pe ctati o n we must disappoint them ; fur story the Afraid 1 hail none. lies Chi isteeher Toxado is represented as a Spanish Chief Magistrate of l'olice, who affects to sec every thing at the greatit distance ; but who is juggled, duped, and cheated mulct his own nos?. lie considers his wife a paragon of loyalty and devotion ; Ins son (a student ] Ist Salamanca) as an example fur imitation ; and his 1 niece as a model of femrle perfection : whereas I it sulraquently appears, that the wife and niece are masqueraders and intriguers, and dui favourite son one of the most libertine of the day. When we found we had a l'olim Magistrate offered to our notice as the pr?- mincnt hero of a new piece, we really did expert to find him represented as something beyond an amorous old ideot, and inclining to favour the great, when their disorders called them before him to meet a merited chastisement or rebuke. iVe expected to hear introduced seine of the topics of abuse which arc levelled at power misapplied ; some of those caustic carcasses which might strike the con sciences of party meddlers in the Alagistracv ; some of that keen-edged ridicule, which might induce the pompous and empty-headed not to arrogate for the future either a know ledge or an authority which they did not possess; at Last we expected dramatic justice to have been inflicted on the ignorant and lascivious—nay, obscene Magistrate of last night ; but in all this we were woefully disap pointed. Indeed, were we inclined to speak as we feel, we would say we were disgusted, even ad nauseant. Ilat To:- ink, even in Farren's hands, had not a solitary redeeming point about it. His rencontre with MINIS Francisca (Mrs. Carrick) was out of all keeping ; and the passport scene with 3lnrgaretta (Mrs. Gibbs) we were astonished to find endured by an audience, many of whom appeared to be respectable females. Ikul as the thing is, it is not original ; for every one that recollects the Busy Budy must have instantly discovered where it was stolen. Madame Vestris played the libertine son, Felix, with great archness and vivacity ; Mrs. Glover, the wife Theresims, with more modesty than we fear is usually to be found in intriguing wives; and Al in Paton the gallantiug niece Itosubellu with out a single particle of prudery or disguise. Sheliadassigned her for a lover Pus Andreas de C'orarajol, personated by a Mr. II uckel, of whom it is the greatest mercy to say no snore. Liston, as Pedrosa, represented the secretary of his wor ship, the Afraid, but his office did not seem concerned in the suppression of vice, or the explanation of perplexing laws, so often necessary. He never passed a thought in detecting offenders and bringing them to justice; but in gulling his worship, in receiving bribes from every one interested in the practice of folly, if hot of vice, and in forwarding the views of midnight revellers, and aiding the amours of ille be ssorted lovers. With such materials, nothing could effected. Harley, as Jahn, was amusing, and he cannot be otherwise; but the jealous husband of a coquetting wife can present us with little that is new, or otherwise interesting. The whole of the third act could be usefully dispensed with: or if intro duced, should have preceded the discovery and juncture of the lovers. The plot does not develop itself, but is nar rata' by Pedrosa, previous to the conclusion of the se cond act, and then it was, that this every-day contrivance . of placing Jahn as a titled prisoner in the place of the real offender, fe/i). should have been allowed to p ro d uce i ts miserable mod icum of efffet. There was nothing above common-place in the dialogue; it was occasionally smart, hut the attempt at alliteration was mean in the extreme. " Exemplary example" tautologous nonsense. And again, the figurative !—a lover haunting his mistress more as an arparitien than an admirer! We have already devoted more of our space to the .41,• , :id than it deserved. As his IVOrship is not likely to fill his situation long, we shall not longer "draw his frailties from their dread abode." The music, with the , exception of a few bars in the quartctto, at the end of the second act, was an unblushing adaptation of the strains of other composers. The following duet was a combination of " Cheerily 0 !" and a bit from one of the songs in Gioranni:— DUET..-PELTX AND Pot Anti.. Oh! happy, happy, happy layers ! Happy youth, and happy maid, Then tremblingly each heart discovers All its love by love repaid.

Hope's drenni delighting, Past pangs requitinz. Thoughts full of heaven, confiding and free; No void left aching, Tender hearts brcaking ,_ When will that day come for you and far me ! Oh! happy, happy, &e. Altogether, the music and the Akaid were mutually worthy of each other ; and neither is e v e r lik e ly to aid in raising Me wind. We suppose it will he considered rather strange that such an unmeaning abortion was applauded lustily by some dozen persons, who are certainly no friends to the author. For ourselves, we cannot hut feel that tilt :Wahl is soon likely to become a corpse, and we bepe it will be attended to its resting place with all the becoming sym pathy to which it is entitled. The following songs will give a fair sainple of the excellence of the poetry ; and we must add, that disabled as the 'timid was, his presence for to-morrow evening was announced with more applause than hissing. We had nearly forgotten to state, that the encores were offensively numerous. soNo.—MADAME VESTED!. lily gauntlet's down, my flag unfurled, Whatc'er my fortune be, For thee, my love, I'd lose the world, Or win a world in thee !

LITERATURE. OCR VILLAGE; /KETCHES OT RURAL CHARACTER ARO ICEntr. By Mary Russell Milford. Whit:aka. The sober charms of rural scenery are infinitely attractive to a pure and virtuo us mind than an the ad:nu:ants to ileature which foll o w e ac h ot h er is romance of rea l life." The scenes o f enjoyment w hi ch the, rcspea; vely represent are so opposite as to make us, literally., converts to the poetical creed, that God 'bade the country, and Man made the toss, society, we are aware, has claims upon nery tr „ of us, which arc not to be disallowed, but the enjovintnt the "Village delights" does not necessarily vritbeir tw from that interest which it becomes us to feel r: 1 17 events of the world. It does not follow that Leas.. are not plodding on in the beaten track of c i te anti nen, that we arc therefore forgetful of the ties ' , hil l us to society. The fair authoress of the volume b<fr, has given a faithful picture of her " Village," ar ! 1 , I filled up its comprehensive outline with a li ve l y of its most pleasing features. It it manifestly lips softening the heart, to open it to all those itt.pre.:, ‘ v:1 ich adorn and elevate our nature. After much course with mankind, we are fain, most of us, to lx;, happiness in ideal creation, and to seek in a retreat fr:r. the more active scenes of life, whatever of real felicity is n be found on this side of the grave. The elegant petits poet has entbodisil the wish of many besides himself 'following lines:— satin est requiescere tecto Si lice, ct membra levers toro. A little farm be trine, a cottage neat .

" The farm-yard sivarmed with peacocks, um*" geese, tan.e and wild-ducks, fowls, guinea-hens, a t e, pigeons; besides a brood or two of favourite bantata die green court before the door, with a little strutter of a cock at tbe;r head, who imitated the m ar _ ficent demeanour of the great Tom of the barn-vard,: ril Its Tom. in his turn, copied the fierce beating oeth at like and terrible biped t.:e he-turkey.

" Next to her poultry, our good farmer's wife loved :e flower-garden ; and indeed- it was of the ray first water-- the only thing about the place that was fine. She Ira : real genuine florist: valued pinks, tulips, and aurier.:a. fur certain qualities of shape and colour, with beauty has nothing to do; preferred black ranurcalm-. and gave into all those obliquities of a tiiple-rtitt.: taste by which the pn.fesscd florist contrives to I.n pace with the vagaries of the Bibliomaniac.

Your true connoi..seur now, sbal! prj! a deep puce hollyhock, to the gay pink blossoms s!:: , cluster round that splendid plant like a p;ratuid of srs. So did she.

Now her plants had all sorts of hcatllcaisb sT pellations, which—no offence to her learning, sista sounded wrong.

The walls v.-1 covered with portraits of half a dozen greyhounds, a Ira of spaniels, as large as life, an old pony, and the mew and mistress of the house in half-length.
