ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL OF THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS. The Anniversary Festival of this praiseworthy and prosperous Institution was held yesterday at the Mer maid Tavern, at Hackney. In order to accommo date the company an awning was erected'over the gardens in the rear of the Tavern, and seven tables were laid out, the whole extent from the Great Room to the termination of the grounds. Long before the hour at which the Chair was to be taken every seat was filled, and notwithstanding the ex t ensive nature of the arrangements, there was con siderable difficulty in providing sufficient accommo dation, there being not less, at a moderate computa tion, than from 1,000 to 1,500 persons present upon this occasion. The orchestra was filled with ladies, elegantly attired, anxious to witness the gratifying scene of festivity, the band having taken their position in the gardens. To increase the enjoy ments of the company, vocalists were not forgotten, and amongst those present were—Mr. D. Isaacs, Mr. Barnett, Mr. Wolfe, the four Messrs. Roths child, Mr. G. Smith, and W. G. Jones. Soon after four o'clock, FELIX BOOTII, Esq. en tered the room, accompanied by a number of gentle men, and took the chair amidst loud cheers. After the cloth was removed, Non Nobis Domino was beautifully sung by the professional gentlemen before mentioned, and the business of the evening commenced. Considering the vast number that sat down to dinner, it was as good as we could possibly have ex pected. The CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose that toast which on such occasions had always precedence, ex pres red the greatest satisfaction in having to do so, and particularly amidst those who he was sure entertained the sincerest feelings of loyalty. lie could assure those whom he was surrounded by, that if they had ever the opportunity of seeing their beloved Sove reign, their love for him would become stronger and stronger. He then gave the health of the " King," with four times four, which was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN then said—Gentlemen, I rise with a peculiar feelinta of regret, and I am sure you will warmly sympathize with me, in the very great loss this Chair has sustained in the lamented death of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, patron of this Institution. In his death the country, and the eliarities of the country which he warmly patronized, have lost a sincere friend, and have alike to regret the event. lam sure he always did every thing in his power to promote the happiness of every charity. Notwithstanding, however, the country and its cha rities had sustained this loss, I rejoice that there are yet remaining parts of the Royal Family equally in cline(' with his late Royal Highness to contribute so general comfort, turd to whom nothing affords so snitch happiness as in any way alleviating the sufferings of his Majesty's subjects.—(Hear, hear.) —I now propose the memory of his late Royal Ilighnesa the Duke of York, in silence. The next toast was the health of his Royal High ness the Lord High Admiral and the British Navy, with throtatimes three. This toast was followed by Rule Britannia," the chorus of which was sting by all the praeasional gentlemen present. The CHAIR N.—Gentlemen, I have now to pro pose to you a toast, which I am sure will give every satisfaction, when I say it is the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, who was so good the other day as to become the Patron of this InstitTition.—(Loud cheers.) —This only ,verifies my IA ords, when I said there yet re mained of die Royal Family those that enter tained the chavkable and kind feelings which were cherished and so industriously cultivated by the Duke of York. I think this is' a very striking veri fication of it, for I understand that his Royal Nigh ineas the Duke of Sussex thus came forward and trek upon himself this office, upon the very first so-- licitation,---(Cheers.)--The health of the Duke of Sussex Was warmly drunk with three times three. Better Winea—As the Chairman rose to give the next toast, he was i n terrupted by cries of " better - Wine, better wine. The Cuatastas observed, that as far as depended (wan f ';imself, he would be very happy to do all in his low er to meet the c omfort of those present, but for better wine application ought to be made to the stewards. The application we understood to have been repeatedir-made, but without producing any good ettect. Glee—" We must be good subjects," by Messrs. Barnett, Wolf, and Isaacs. The next toast was " The remaining branches of the Royal Family-," with three times three, Song by Mr. Joie's—" The rose shall cease to idow." - Then followed " The Army," with three times three. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose " The a bsent Friends and Patrons of the lacen;ied Vic tuallers' School." In doing this lam gratiued (said the Chairman) beyond measure in being able to state that there are personages of the highes:. eminence in the co.:wry, friendo,patrons, and hearty well-wishets of the Licensed Victuallers' Society. Though it mac be out of order to mention names, on this occasion, yet I cannot forbear naming Earl Sliaftesbury—(Greet cheers )—whose exertions for all Charities are mogt indefatigable, but for nona greater than that of the Licensed Victuallers' So ciety.—(llear.)—l have no doubt that when the absent friends of this Institution are apprised of the liberality with which so many gengemen have come forward, they will as wiiklig)y afford t.heir as- istance. The toast was drunk with great warmth.. The CHAIRMw took this opportunity 'of again exprest;ing his regret that he should have had to hear a call for better wine at a table close to him self. He hoped those who had o.erasion to com plain would apply to the Stewards for better wine, and that those glitlemen. would be able to afford that relief which would contribute to the utmost convi, viality of the Meeting, as far as the richest grape could yield that contribution.. Song by Mr. G. Smith, " UAW Awl be jolly." The CHAIRMAN then observed, in uthision to the ga ifory behind him, which was crowded with ladies, that mi:rty of those he had the honour of addressing had the pleasure of a prospect of which he by his position was deprived.—(Applause.)—lle was aware however that the gallery was filled with ladies. He should therefore propose a toad which he had no oceask'." to preface, as it was receive-4 Ivith unanimous approbation in every meeting. This toast was recsived with general enthusiasm, and was followed by desire of the Chairman, with t h e favourite Scotch song of 0 Green grow th e at taste and rashes, 0!" which was sung with gr feeling by Mr. Jones. The CHAIRMAN stated, that those intereeting objects of the Institution, the Children, were about , to be introduced : before which he would have the pleasure of drinking a glass of wine with the Corn liany.—This call having been complied with by the Company with universal satisfaction, The Messrs. Rothschild gave the Hunting Chorus from " Der Frieschutz," in 4 style of brilliancy and novel excellence, which drew forth. repeated mani festations of applause, and called forth a general encore. In singing it the second time, the Messm Rothschild gave the words in German. The children belonging to the School were here introduced,. and paraded the room. Their healthy, happy, and decent appearance, joined with the re. tlection they were clothed, sheltered,and educated by the subscribers to this excellent Institution excited feelings which call only be appreciated by those who have been actuated by that heaven-born feeling, which " blesseth him that gives, and him that takes," The children Lavin.. been drawn up on the table in front of the ° Chairman, the girls with their governesses to the right, and the boys to the left with their toaster, the Chairman came forward and said : " Gentlemen, —I have to call your attention to what I am sure you will be particularly pleased with, that is to hear the objects of this charity recite a few *lines in a manner that will convince you, you have not spent your money foolishly, but praisewor thily. Two boys at separate parts of the room will repeat the piece." The following Hymn was then sung by all the Boys and Girls with peculiar effect : Let grateful hymns arise, Jehovah's name to praise, Who from the lofty skies Regards our infant lays: Let all rejoice to see the day When children learn to read and pray. Our Sabbaths once we spent In folly and in sin, On these our sniads were bent, And pleasure sought therein ; But now we leave our erring way, And learn to read, to sing, and pray. We read of Jasn's name, And learn that name to bless, Who from his glory came To save a sinful race ; We praise the Loan we see the day That we are taught to read and pray. To aid this goad design May all our Fitissns unite ; May those in glory shine Who freely give their mite ; To teach our youthful feet the way That leads to realms of endless day. LlALLuxiitu! AMEN. The Boys then recited the following Lines in an astonishing masterly style : Friends of the helpless, fosterers of the weak, And patrons of the poor, whom most forsake, Look round and smile, for even the smiles ye view Derived their bright intelligence from you. 'Twas you when Famine sought us far and wide, Met the gaunt Witch, and snatched us from her ; 'Twas you when Ignorance (our hopes oserthrown) Had seized us straight and marked us for her own, Forbade the fatal touch, and led the way To brighter prospects and a purer day. 'Twas you when Vice, the comrade of Despair, Caine threatening on with arm uplift and bare, 'Twas you resisted, routed both, and called That Angel, Virtue, down to watch the fold. 'Chen blessed be all your lives, and long your days, To name your actions is to speak your praise. The CHAIRMAN then said, he could not but acknow ledge the honour they had done him this day in placing hint in the station he then occupied, but he had also to regret that it had not fallen into abler hands. The task he had to discharge was an ar duous one, and as it was the first time he had filled a public situation, he trusted they would excuse any deficiency which they might perceive. —(Cheers.) He had been solicited to come forward for the pur- pose of promoting the objects of this charity, and was anxious to do so to the utmost extent of his ability and power. It was useless to detain the company with any statement of his respecting the finances, as that department would be explained by the Secretary. The institution . commenced in 1803, and from 1807 it had been supported by the hu mane efforts of the subscribers. The original sup porters said, we will not expend our finances alone, but we will Lave a subscription fund. He held in his hand a paper which proved what Englishmen would do. When he looked around, and be held the number of persons assembled for a charitable pmpose, and when he knew that the respectable body lie was addressing was composed of the most industrious class in the world, he was sure the Institution would derive great benefit from their exertions. They were sensible of the benefits done to society by supporting 500 poor children, who were deprived of friends, and it is difficult to say what would have been their fate without the fostering hand of kindness. By giving support to an institution of this sort, they called forth the blessin g s of those they had rescued from want and ruin. He had been solicited by his friends who were the trustees, to assist on this occasion, and eer- tainly nothing could afford him more satisfaction than meeting so many friends determined to act upon a benevolent feeling . . It would appear that the funds of the establishment were well managed. They had 25,0001. funded property, and they were much obliged to the Trustees for their excellent ma nagement of them. The poor girls of this Institu tion would be provided w►th good places as servants, and the boys would be qualified to gain a re- spectable living. They were. taught CO read and write. He had seen the arrangements made for the comfort and health of the children, and could not avoid the expression of the satisfaction he felt at the neat and cleanly appearance of their sleeping-rooms. The Honourable Chairman was sure the Company would appreciate as he did the merits of this excellent Institution, and come for ward like Englishmen to promote the welfare of the concern. The Trustees and Committee were de sirous of increasing the Establishment this year, by the admission of twenty additional children,but that could not be done,nnlese they came forward liberally. He was pleased with the little boys. The master in his presence had put questions to them which they answered with the greatest ease. As to the ladies in the gallery he did not appeal to them. Their hearts were always open, but he appealed to all the company, in the hope that they would not be back ward in support. For his own part he should do all he could do. (Loud cheers.) They had taught the boys to write and read ;—to feel a due sense of moral duty ;—to offer up their prayers to the Al mighty, and lift up their little hands to bless their benefactors for the benefits received. He had only to say, in conclusion, that every one who made a subscription that day would be amply repaid by the reflection that he had done a good and charitable action.—(Loud applause.) The CHAIRMAN resumed for the purpose of stat ing that he trusted he should not be out of order in mentioning ? that as an acknowledgment of his feel ing for the abilities displayed by the children, and as a grateful return for the 4ttantion paid to him by the room, he intended to compliment each boy and girl with anew shilling.—(Loud cheers,)—Tha worthy Chairman then gave each boy and girl that were near to him a new shilling each; and said he had desired Mr. Phippen to hand to each of the other children a new shilling....-- , (Loud applause.) The CHAIRMAN said, he had to apologise to the room for having omitted one toast; at the same time, he confessed that he had purposely omitted it till now,. In speaking of the Duke of Sussex's dona tion, he hat taken the liberty to observe, that there were ether branches of the Royal Family equally dis posed to promote objects of utility end pl)arity. He had to propose to them the health of a distinguished olember of the Royal Family, one who was making himself very popular with the country ; but who was doing so in A beeorping and exemplary manner, — The Royal Duke to whom hp alluded —he meant the Duke of Clarence, the Lord High Admiral of England ; and his Royal Highness had consented to become tile Patron of the Society, in the room of his revered brother, the late Duke of York.— (Loud cheerz t .)--Sinee entered the room he had been furnished with documents stating such fact, and hum:King that his Royal Highness was net able to be present at this dinner.—(lmmense e ieer ,9-14e, however, had authority to state, that 1 45 Royal Highness declared he Would be the Patron o f ,the Society as long as he lived.,-(1..0nd and long-continu4d,chepring.)--The Chairman said, he ought further to have remeated, that the Dake of Clarence, as well as consenting to become the Patro ? f of the Society, had forwarded a SubscripF tion of twenty guineas.--(Loud applause.) The toast was, then honoured with three times three, and followed 4y load ligzas. Messrs, Isaacs, Wolfe, &c.then gave the glee of " MYnheer Van punch," in a scientific and effective manner. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the Lord Mayor. ThiS toast having been duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN said, previously to proposing the next toast, he would beg their attention to the Se cretary's communication respecting the donations of the day. The Secretary (Mr. PHIPPEN) observed, that pre viously to narrating. the donations of the day, he was directed to read to them two letters received by him in his official capacity, on the preceding day. The first was a letter from Mr. Ramsbottom, dated Woodside. It was as follows :-- Woodside, near Windsor, June 24. Sir—lt is with much regret that I have to state that the severe illness of a very near relative, will, I fear, pre vent my having the pleasure of dining at the Anniversary of the Licensed Victuallers' School, on Thursday next, as fully inteuded. I beg you will offer my respects to the Committee, and assure them that I shall, at all times, be happy iu further ing the objects of this Charity as far as my humble en deavour@ may be effective.—l am, Sir, Your moat obedient humble servant, J. RAMSBOTTOM. Thomas Phippen, Egg., &c. &c. &c. The next was a letter to the following effect :- 101, Bond-street, June 21, 1828. Sir—ln reply to ycuc letter of the 19th inst. I beg to state that I will not trouble the Committee to wait upon me for the purpose therein mentioned, as I have the great satisfactiou to communicate to you that his Royal High ness the Duke of Clarence, Lord High Admiral, &c. &e. has graciously consented to become flee patron of the Licensed Victuallers' School, and also to give a donation of twenty guineas to the Institution. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, Mr. Phippen, &c. &e. &c. JOHN RAMBBOTTOM. The reading of these letters was greeted with fre quent applause. The subscription mentioned as for warded by the Duke of Clarence, he had not received, but he had entered the 211. in the list, because the order for its payment had been given. The next subscription he bad to mention was that of Felix Booth, Esq., their worthy Chairman, fifty guineas.—(lnunense applause.)—J. E. Booth, Esq. of the same family, also fifty guineas.—(Loud ap plause.)—Messrs. Hazard and Co. twenty guineas. —(Loud applause.)—The Editor of the Sunday Herald and Morning Advertirer, ten guineas.— (Loud and continued applause.)—Messrs. Hoare and Co. fifty guineas, in addition to a former sub scription.--(Loud applause.)---Mr. Fiddes, ten guineas. Harvey Coombe, Esq., twenty guineas.— ( Loud applause.)—The whole of the day's dona tions, down to such time, was 6801.—(('ontinued applause.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Members of the County of Middlesex, which was honoured with three times three. Mr. JONES afterwards sang, " Whistle, and I'll come to thee, my lad." JOHN HAZARD, Esq., said, he rose for the purpose of proposing the health of the Gentleman who had so ably presided on the present occasion, and who bad introduced the several toasts with so much good feeling, philanthropy, and loyalty.—(Cheers.) All had been done by their Chairman with noble feel ings : he called it noble from the way in which their Chairman had acted.—(Applause.) He considered that it would be almost unnecessary for him to name Felix Booth, Esq., as the Chairman, whose health lie thought they ought particularly to notice.— (Cheers.) All who knew him intimately, were more intimately acquainted with such being his excellent character. He would say more on this topic, but as the Chairman was his personal friend he forebere from a feeling of delicacy.—(Hear, hear.) The CrIAIRMAN returned acknowledgments for the honour that had just been conferred on him—and said he had not words to express the feelings with ' which he was impressed on the occasion. The Sevetary then announced, amongst other ' subscriptions, the receipt of fifty guineas from the British Traveller. The seve►al subscriptions received during the day amounted at this time to upwards of 8001. The CHAIRMAN said, he had next the pleasing duty to perform of proposing the health of the Trus tees and Committee.—(Applause.)—They merited great praise for their zealous and successful attention to the interests of the Institution, as all would ad mit who Would take the pains, as he had done with much satisfaction, to examine the establishment. The toast was drunk with loud and enthusiastic applause. Mr. BRYANT, On the part of the Trustees, re turned thanks. He hoped, he said, that the funds of the Charity would exhibit an annual progressive increase. The Stewards and Committee had exerted themselves to the utmost, and would continue to do so while they remained in office. The CHAIRMAN next gave the Stewards, whose hospitality had enabled them to pass so convivial an evening, notwithstanding the difficulties which might be supposed to present themselves to the accommo dation of so numerous a party. Mr. WALKINSON, on the part of the Stewards, returned thanks, and said that it was not in his power to convey in words to the company the sen timents experienced by himself and his brother Stewards, in consequence of the honour they bad done him. The Company had his best wishes, and he sincerely hoped, that as they travelled through life they would live well on the road.— (Cheers and laughter.) The CHAIRMAN proposeel next, the health and long life of Benjami►► George Hodges, which was drank with great applause. Mr. HoDur.s, in returning thanks, said, that if at any time he could do this Charity or the other Cha rity any service, or if he could in any way promote the interest of any Charitable Institution belonging to the Licensewl Victuallers, be should be always ready to obey their injunctions.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then respectfully bade the com pany farewell, and retired amidst general acclamation. Mr. BRIANT was then requested to succeed him, and accordingly accepted the vacant chair. The next toast proposed to the Meeting was the health of Mr. Ramsbottom, M.P. for Windsor, through whose kindness they had been able to get access to his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, who had kindly consented to become the Patron of the Institution, as his Majesty was unable, under present circumstances, to do so. This toast, and several others, were drunk with much cheering; after which the Chairman left the room, and the company formed into parties in the gardens of the Tar ern, where the conviviality of the scene was kept up to a late hour, or rather to an I early hour this morning. 7 - PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 25.—His Royal High news the Loan Hiciit ADMIRAL arrived here on Monday evening, for the purpose of attending at the examination of midshipmen in the Royal Naval College, preparatory to their Midsummer vacation. His Royal Highness, as Go vernor of the institution, on his last visit, established a prize-class among the young gentlemen, with a view to stimulate them in their studies. At the present exambri tion (yesterday morning), which was conduct ed by the Professor howl, and his ably associates, the " Clarence medal" was adjudged to Mr. WAitn,son of Captain lIENv W4itp, R.N., by which he will be entitled to claim the rank of a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, immediately on the completion of serving his time as a midshipman- - namely, in six years. 'f he examination of all the students was satisfactory. The Loan HIGH ADMIRAL afterwards embarked ut the Dock-yard, and proceeded to visit his Majesty's ship Wellesley, 74, commanded by Captain Fuz nrnKK Lays MA;;TLAND, C. 8., (the officer to whom BuoNA7Atar surrendered), at Spithead, at present bear ing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir 13tr.s.rANwr H A Lt.owst.t. , who takes his passage in her to the Mediterranean command. His Royal liiglniess minutely examined the ship and innsterpd the crew, when he landed, and proceeded to the Royal Marine barracks, where he inspected that corps, attended by Sir JAltrs Coo:auks, the Pay. master. His Royal Highness dined with the Port Ad miral (Sir RORERT STOPFORD.) This morning he visited the Victory, 100, hearing the Commander-in-Chief's flag, landed at noon, and set off on his return to the Admiralty, under the usual salutes from the garrison and ships of war in the harbour. It is understood that his Royal Highness intends to form a crnising squadron of the guard-ships this !umrnsr ; and that the Royal Marine Artillery will embark in the Prince Regent, of IP3 guns, and the Britannia , of 110 guns, for exercise. His Royal Highness purpo ses visiting this garrison on the 10th of July, to review the i troops n it. Sailed the Challenger, 28, Captalit Frrz , Ct.anEscu, with money for the Commissariat Department at Newfoundland, Halifax, and Quebec. Governor Sir JAMES Knit. removes from Nova Scotia to Upper Canada ; and Lord Dat.noustr, who, it is understood, will go ont to the command of the troops in the East Indies, returns home with his family in the Challenger.

We are aware that, nominally, they are two distinct charities, but in effect we must consider them as one, and we feel assured that all who witnessed the recent festivals in support of those charities, must have felt themselves irresistibly impelled to contribute to their prosperity. Without assuming any credit 'to ourselves for having been the first of the Public Journals to stand • forth with our mite in support of those Institutions, we may be permitted to say that the greatest gratification experienced by us last :t vening, resulted from perceiving that our example has produced some effect with at least one of the Evening Journals ; it having subscribed fifty guineas, and we sincerely hope that it will yet be followed up by others to a greater extent. We can only add, that our best wishes will always go with such admirable Institutions, and that our best exertions shall be directed to promote their welfare and prosperity. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) The appeal of Waterhouse and Co., the great coach proprietor-a, against a conviction on the information of Messrs. Rawlins and Byers, common informers, carne on this morning. The alleged offence was that of having the words " from Blackheath to London" painted on one of their coaches, when the licence expressed it " from Black heath to Charing-cross." The conviction was made be fore Mr. Gregorie, of Queen-square. Mr. Bor.wen and Mr. Baonzarcr were engaged for the appellants, and Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. ALLEY for the respondents. After some argument the Court set aside the conviction, considering that the meaning •f the Act had been complied with, and that the word " London" iacluded Charing-cross. Ely ze...4f-;l;iip,v.,-,,, LONDON. FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 16118. Count ALFRED DE VAUDREUIL, First Secre tary of the French Legation i❑ P,ortugal, arrived at Paris on Monday afternoon. He made the journey in a very few days. It was affirmed that he was the bearer of the Act of the General Cortes of Portugal, which declares that the Crown of Portugal belongs to the Infant Don MtGum., by virtue of the fundamental laws of the Kingdom, which regulate the order of suc cession to the throne. There was not a word said about the annihilation of the Constitutional Army, as fondly contemplated by the Quoti dienne. Letters have been received from Laguayra to the 14th of May, but they do not contain any news of political interest. Letters from L'Orient, of the 16th inst., confirm the equipment of the Algesiras of 80 guns, and four large frigates, which are to join the division at Brest. Vera Cruz Papers have been received to the 2d of May, by which it appears some appre hensions were entertained in that Port of an at tack from Cuba. It was the general opinion that the Castle of St. John d'Ulloa should be put in a state of defence for 12 or 15 mouths ; others thought that a camp of five thousand men should be placed at the point most exposed to any attack. The Corn Bill is at length disposed of—we trust to the satisfaction of all concerned. It was last night read a third time, and passed. It will be seen by his address to the Electors of Clare, which we have given in another part of our Paper, that Mr. O'CONNELL has ac tually offered himself as a candidate to re present them in Parliament. The bare possibility of his being returned may be attended with serious consequences to some worthy individuals, who have miraculously survived the Repeal of the Test and Corpora- tion Acts. But should his unhallowed name be seen on a frank, or should he be announced amongst the fashionable arrivals, as Mr. O'CONNELL, M.P., what will become of our unhappy land ? Want of space alone obliges us to defer till to-morrow Dr. DeYLE's highly interesting letter to the Duke of WELLINGTON, as well as any comments on the subject. The Prussian State Gazette, in an Extraor dinary Supplement, gives a detailed account of the passage of the Danube, as we stated two days ago. The passage was effected in a masterly manner, and the resistance of the Turks was creditable, though the advantages of position were greatly in their favour. We refer our readers to another column for the details, as wer as for the combined operations carried agains the fortress of Anapa, on the Asiatic Coast o the Black Sea. Brailow h not surrendered. The Austrian Observer of the IGth instan contains the following interesting particulars re. specting Greece : VIENNA, MAY 15. The Corfu Gazette of May 21 contains the following article : The latest accounts from Greece announce that the Greek Government has taken the most vigorous measures against the plague ; that the President himself has been to the infected islands (Hydra and Spezzia), and has placed the whole State (tutto lo atato), with the exception of Edina and Poros, under a 24 days' quarantine.* The Morea is divided into seven departments, with a Prefect over each, viz. :- Ist—For Napoli, Argos, and Corinth—M. Kalergi. 2d—For Calavrita, Patras, and Vostitza—M. Mauro mati. Sd—For Elis and Pyrgos--M. Kalogeropulo. 4th—For Arcadia, Phanari, and Castri—M. PoyHaag. sth—For Upper Sparta, Kalamarta, Leondari, and lay Genovelli. -.-.... 6th—For Karitena and Tripolizza—M. A. Vlachopulo. Travellers from Modon and Zante affirm that the three Greek Bishops sent from Constantinople, who bad stepped some time with Ibrahim Pacha, had been sent some days ago, without any formality, to Napoli. It was not yet known how they had been received by the Greek Govern ment. The Albanians at Coron were still in a state of mutiny. It is affirmed they have sent two of their principal Chiefs, accompanied by two Greeks, over land, to the President of Greece : the object and result of their mission were not known. The blockade of the fortresses in Messenia become daily more vigorous. 'f he allied squadrons have landed the crew of the Egyptian corvette, which was detained with Greek prisoners on board. It is supposed from this circumstance that the corvette is condemned as a good prize. The siege of Ans.tolico continues. The fort has suffered severely from the rockets which had been thrown into it by the liar feria steam-boat. Letters from Zante, of the 22d of May, say that the Greek Bishops, who were sent to the Morea and the Ar chipelago with the Proclamation of the Greek Patriarch at Constantinople, had, after stopping a short time at Modon with Ibrahim Pacha, proceeded on their journey to Napoli di Romania, but are reported to have been arrested on the way by G'enoveli, Prefect of Kalarnala, &c., because their communications seemed to make an impression on the inhabitants of those districts, and to have been sent to the President of Greece. According to accounts' from Prevesa of the 28th of May, which were received at Corfu on the 30th of that month, the Seraskier, Redschid Paeha, was still at Arta. Some Greek travellers who arrived at Prevesa on the 26th affirmed that on the 23d, the Greeks had made a fresh attack on Anatolico, and in consequence of the consternation and deipondency of the Turks had nearly made themselves masters of the place, when a rocket discharged by General Church, fell into a Greek boat laden with powder and balls, by which the boat and all on board blew up: this accident caused such confusion among the Greeks, that they retreated pre cipitately. The Captain of a Turkish ship which arrived on the 27th May, at Modon from Prevesa, affirms that he saw the Russian men of war off Motion. * The last accounts from Constantinople declare tke news of the plague at hydra unfounded.

A L ARMING PI RE.—This morning , about half-past eight o'clock, the Wheatsheaf Bre wer y , in parley street, Rosemary-lane, was wholly destroyed by fire, owin g to the bursting's of a boiler. The supply of water wa s short, owing to the turncock not being in the way. The firemen then played upon the building with small-beer, but the flames could not be got under until all the wood-work had been destroyed. The stock of ale and beer on the premises was not very large, but nearly the whole has been destroyed. No lives were lost, but two horses were so much injured us to be incapable of further use. One of the men employed in the premises was severely injured. ' A great number of en g ines were on the spot, soon after the first alarm had been g iven, but had no water to play upon the flames. The proprietors of the Brewery are under stood not to be insured to the full amount of their loss. The damage done, except to the Brewery, is very trifling, and all fears of the flames communicating to the adjoining buildings are over, but the engines are still playing upon the ruins.
