We h ave received th e P ar i s P apers o f F riday 411(1 the Reale of Saturday, and have given ex tracts from them in our preceding columns. They Contain some further articles on the conquest of IPSar a by the CAPTAIN PACIIA, but no new facts are communicated respecting that afflicting dis aster. It Is still asserted that many of the trans ports belonging to the Turkish fleet sailed to the attack of the island under the protection of fo reign flags, and that the surviving Ipsariots, on ascertaining the hopelessness of protracted resist ance, blew up the last fort in which they had shut themselves up with their families ! The Courier Frangais has an article, dated Constanti nople, which indignantly reprobates the unprin cipled venality with which Christian Europe is de livering up the Greek nation to be slaughtered by its Mussulman executioners. • ci Aurr er.

KING'S THEATRE.—The season closed at this Theatre on Saturday last with the Opera of 11 Don Giovanni. The Theatre, iu all parts, was more crowded than we observed on any night during the Season, and the performers exerted themselves to the utmost, in order to leave a good impression on the Public. The Opera was well supported in general ; but GALICIA, Dc BEGNIS, his beautiful wife, CARAnonr, and PORTO, are particularly entitled to notice and to praise. A printed apology for CAnAnoar, on the score of indisposition, in case she should perform with langour, was circulated, but with little occasion, as she acquitted herself so well, as to deserve the applause which she received. We ought not to take leave of this Theatre without paying a tri bute to the Management. Mr. BEN ELLI and his patrons have certainly exerted themselves with great zeal and liberality to deserve the counte nance of the Fashionable World and the Public in general. They engaged, in PASTA, GARCIA, the DE BEGNIS, PL tcci,and others, the first-rate talents in their respective provinces, and the Corps de Ballet was also amply supplied with performers of both sexes, of distinguished merit. In Rosswt, also, they employed a powerful Composer and instrumental Performer, who, judging from what he received each night for presiding at private concerts (501.), and the ex travagant present of 5001. from Prince LEOPOLD, which would have been better devoted to some benevolent institution in the country whence he derives his vast income, must have been engaged at an enormous expense for the Composer and his wife. Even the scenery, during the season, was creditable to the taste as well as liberality of the Management, as it. was superior to what we have seen for many seasons. The scene of the Sepulchre, in Romeo acid Juliet, in particular, was admirable in design and ex ecution, and would make an excellent print.— Upon the whole, Mr. BENELLI and his sup porters have done justice to the public, and are well entitled to its future patronage. On the conclusion of the Opera, on Saturday, 44 God save the King" was sung by the leading and all the rest of the vocal corps, and received by the audience, standing, with the most loyal accla mations. ENGLISH OPERA lIOI.IOE.—On Saturday the successful Opera of Der Frieschutz was rendered still more attractive by the appearance of Miss STEPHENS in the part of Agnes, with additional songs by her and BaAnAm. She acted with her usual unaffected simplicity, and sung with her usual excellence. The new songs were given by 13aAn.tin with all his wonted force anti powerful effect. The Afterpiece was The . Reign o'T:cave Hours; but Miss KELLY was so much indisposed as with difficulty to get through the first Act, and continued so ill that Mr. BARTLEY was obliged to apologize for her inability to proceed in the part, and she is deservedly too great a favourite with the Public for the' audience not to regret the occasion. The house was crowded at an early hour. MISS PATON. The following paragraph appearud in the John 13u11 Paper of yesterday : " It is said seriously, in places where it might be as se riously contrtulieted if untrue, that Miss Picrou was married to Lord WILLIAM TiEtiox at York, so long ago as last March. We think it but fair to the good sense of - ikj. Lord ship, and the reputation of the Lady, to state what the report generally is, in order that, if it be incorrect, it may be contra dicted by authority." We have received the subjoined card from Miss PATON, in consequence of the foregoing paragraph 6, King-street West, Bryanston-square, Aug. 16, 1824. Miss PATON having seen a paragraph relative to herself, in the John Bull Newspaper of this day's date, loses no time in requesting the Editor to contradict the statement of her mar riage. bliss PATON is particularly induced to make this re. quest, because the Editor must be aware that such reports c tend materially to her prejudice in the exercise of her pro fession, and to prevent the formation of future theatrical engagements." %Ye cannot, however, conceive that the reports in question can be injurious to so charming an actress, and vocal performer, for, married or single, she must always be a first-rate favourite, if she continues to exert her talents before the THE BRITISH INSTITUTION.--Tilo last Exhi bition at the Gallery in Pall-mall, closed on Sa turday. We noticed it on its opening, and always feel regret whenever its exhibitions conclude. The Institution itself itself may be regarded as of essen tial importance to the honour of the Empire with respect to the FINE ARTS, and the Public ought to feel a deep sense of gratitude to those patriotic and enlightened individuals by whom it was founded, as it has fostered British Genius and improved the National taste. The exhibition which has just closed, consisted of many admira ble works from old foreign Masters of the highest repute, and we may proudly add, of such works of British Artists as add lustre to the country. Among these were works of Sir JOSHUA REY NOLDS, WEST, °PIE, GAINSDOROUGH, WILSON, ROMNEY, and HOGARTII. The whole has been well attended, and while Artists have studied the several productions with advantage, the ordinary spectators have not " gone unimproved away." We were glad to see Mr. YOUNG, the Secre tary, after a severe illness, able to resume his post, and also to find that His MAJESTY has given him permission to execute a series of Etching-Illustrations of the Pictures in the Palace of Carlton House, collected,by his MAJESTY. Those Pictures are highly honourable to the Royal taste as well as libe rality, and will, of course, have due justice done to them by Mr. YOUNG, whose similar illustra tions of the STAFFORD, GROSVENOR, LEICESTER, and other Collections, have presented such cor rect and spirited outlines as have been highly be neficial to the ARTISTS as well as to the STU DENTS of this country. LUTON proceeds to Dublin from the Hay market immediately on the close of the season at the latter Theatre, and will not return to town for two years. ABBOTT is said to be making up a strong company; with which to make his debut as Manager of the Dublin Theatres ; in tiovern bar next. ~. .--"1 , -,,plA Aft, t,..r ..4.,.,' A • ;) # tti•Ot * - " . -1, - 41.... g ivv` e .

WINDson, AUG. M.—Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, accompanied by the Marquis Conyngham, left the Royal Lodge, in the great park, in his travelling carriage and four, attended by his usual outriders, and an escort of Life Guards, for his Palace in Pall-Mall. His Majesty returned in the even ing to the Royal Lodge, where he dined. This morning his Majesty heard divine service at his private chapel, Cumber land-lodge. Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta is ex pected to return to Frogmore on Tuesday next, from Bag,sot- ' park. The old porter's lodge, which was lately converted into a pheasantry, is now being made a private chapel for his Majesty and suite. This is a very necessary altera tion, the King having at present some distance to go from the Royal Lodge to his chapel at Cumberland-lodge. It is expected to be ready for his Majesty by next Sunday week. fhe new and elegant conservatory which was brought from Brighton, is now erected at the Royal Lodge, and filled with the choicest fruits and flowers. A new Orangery is also build ing in the at Cumberland Lodge upon a very extensive plan, in which those orange trees so much admired by his Ma jesty from Hampton Court will be placed. The weather being very unfavourable, there was no band on the terrace this after noon, and the town is very thin of visitors.—On Friday, one of the navigators employed in excavating the foundation at the Castle, discovered, at a considerable depth below the surface, a gold ring. It is of antique workmanship; rudely chased, and has the remains of an inscription in black letter character, which, however, are so much defaced, as to render the motto illegible.—The silver coin, which we mentioned a few days since, has been ascertained to be of the date of Edward Is has been presented by Mr. Wyatville to his Majesty. THE KING'S COURT. On Saturday, a few minutes before one o'clock, his MA. JESTS- arrived in his travelling-carriage and four in Pall-mall, from 'Windsor, escorted by a party of the 7th Hussars. The King was received at the Palace by the Duke of Clarence. His Majesty shortly after held a Court, which was attended. by the Lord Chancellor, the Secretaries of State for the Home and Foreign Departments, the Master-General of the Ordnance, the President of the Board of Controul, the Chancellor of the Duchy of bancaster, the Master of the Horse, the Treasurer of the household, and the Recorder of London. The King held a Privy Council, at which the Parliament was agreed to be further prorogued from the 24th inst. to the 4th day of November next. Mr. Secretary Peel officiated as Lord President of the Coun cil in the absence of the Earl of Harrowby, who is abroad.— Mr. Greville attended as Clerk of' the Council. The Recorder of London was admitted into the Council Room, and made his report of the 13 convicts capitally con victed at the last Old Bailey Sessions, when his Majesty was graciously pleased to respite the whole of them during his Royal pleasure. His Majesty gave audiences to Mr. Peel, the Lord Chan cellor, the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Canning, and Mr. Wynn. The Earl of Errol and Mr.-Bradshaw were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. Soon after the breaking up of the Court, which was about half-past four o'clock, his Majesty left town, escorted by a party of the 7th Hussars, on hid return to Windsorpark to dinner.

On Thursday last, several Members of this Society and their friends dined at the Castle on Ilatupstead-heath, in honour of his lIIAJESTY'S Birthday, whom they still consider as their Prince. Mr. PAILItY and Mr. Jas. U AYMS presided on the occasion. illany, of the toasts and sentiments were given in the Welch language, followed by the wild strains of Cambria, on the triple harp. In giving • Lord Clive, and success to the approaching Eistedripd at We1%1)001," Mr. Parry observed, that the Committee of Management had issued notice, " that all members of the Cambrian Institution or Gwynethligion So ciety, who might attend the Festival, would receive adtois done to the morning meeting', .on application to the Secretary. ..:..(Cheent.)--fle also observed,- that ho tuitleipated infinite pieasure t rorn . hearing Miss Stephens.

Munden was of the party, and sung several songs with exquisite humour. Pc/inn/ion singing, with the Welsh harp, was kept up with great spirit until ten o'clock, when the company retired highly gratified with their loyal and patriotic entertainment. The Duke of Northumberland intends giving a grand dinner at Alnwick-Castle, on Tuesday the 24th instant, to the Officers of his Grace's late Corps of Volunteer Tenantry. Lord and Lady Ravensworth and family arrived at their northern residence, Ravensworth Castle, Durham, last week. E ARMY. The 75th Regiment of Infantry has been ordered to march from Naas to Birr.

One of those agreeable sights which are so interesting to Englishmen, and which likewise serve to keep alive that spirit of emulation which is essential to the well-being of society, took place on Tuesday last, at Herne flay. The day was de lightfully fine, with a gentle breeze from the Westward, and together with the band, which was stationed on the terrace, and occasionally enlivened the scene by playing se. lect airs and pieces of music, afforded a rich treat to a large con course of well-dressed and highly respectable people assembled on the occasion. Numerous flags and streamers decorated the houses and vessels; every accommodation that could add to the comfort- of the visitors had been made by the inhabitants, and several booths and tents were erected upon the heights, to of the spectators a good view of the aquatic sports.— The vessels started to sail twice round two boats, moored about two miles apart, making each match a distance of near eight miles, the whole of which was close under the view of the numerous spectators who crowded the terrace, the heights, the houses, and the gaily decked vessels which covered the Bay. The scene altogether was most enchanting. At the con clusion of the sailing-matches, the 111argate steam-packet, crowded with passengers, run into the Bay, to obtain a view en passant of the interesting scene which presented itself. Se veral galleys belonging to the Preventive Service, various fine sailing yachts, filled with numerous parties, together with the young gentlemen of the Canterbury Boat Club, who had rowed HI their trim .boat a distance of thirty mik-.4 to be present at the match, all conspiring to render this a memorable day in the annals of Heine Bay. CRICKET MATCHES. • The return match of Cricket, between , the Uxbridge and 1111. lingdon, anti the Windsor and Eton Junior Clubs, was played in the Brocas, at Eton, on Friday last, and decided in favour of the former. On Thursday the return game at Cricket was played at Mar ket -street, between the Club of that place and Leighton Buz zard, when the Match was again won by the former, heading their opponents seventeen runs. The following is a statement of the gs,me of Cricket played at Dorking, on Monday and Tuesday last, between the Oen. tlemen of the Dorking Club, and the Gentlemen of the Brighton Club, and which was won by the latter Club by six wickets DOUKING. 111111311 TOW. lst Innings . 35 Ist Innings 2d Ditto - . 68 2d Ditto - 44 103 104 PEDESTRIANISM. A grand match of running took place at Charing, last Wed nesday, between twenty-two gentlemen of th4t place, and twenty-two of Pluckley, and ended in favour of the former ; Pluckley getting only four runs, and Charing seven, after the match was over the whole of the company sat down to an ex cellent supper at the Swan Inn, Charing. A match of running took place on Saturday evening last in Dean Park, near Wingliam, between the Gentlenten of nos sington and Appleton, against the Gentlemen of Deal and Crockshire, which was won by the former getting 7 to 8. Monday a match of running took place between the married and . single men of Deal, in Merchant Iggulden's held, which was won by the former by three run. QUICK, the once excellent and always popular actor, continues to enjoy good health at his cot tage, in the neighbourhood of Islington. QUICK was so great a favourite with his late MAJESTY, that in all his visits to the theatres, this son of Mostus was always included in the cast. In fact, GEORGE 111. carried his partiality for this actor so far, as to employ ZorrANy to paint a picture from a scene in a modern comedy, where QUICK was the hero; and in the extreme corner of the picture a portrait of the actor was inserted by special command. This picture is now in CHARLES MATTnaws's gallery, at Highgate. The KING'S subsequent malady prevented its be ing sent to Buckingham House. EXTIIAORDI NA ICY 0 P EnATION.•—LasI week was performed at the General Hospital Ship, Sheerness, by Mr. Robinson, the surgeon, the amputation of the thigh by the double flap operation, without the use of the Tourniquet ; as recommended by Alr. Liston, of Edinburgh. Mr. R: also em ployed the dissecting forceps to secure the arteries, as Mr. L. has long recommended and practised with extraordinary . sue cess. The operation did not occupy longer than one minute and a half, and not six ounces of blood were lost ! The pain to the patient Was of course comparatively trifling.. This is the first time, we believe, that this operation has been so performed on this side of the '!`weed.--(Medical Adviser). LEAPING a DYKE.--On Tuesday last several individuals from Edinburgh having gone On visit to Ilabble's Hole, endeavoured, on their return, to shorten the road by passing through inclosures. They were met by a countryman, armed with a scythe, who th re atened them with instant destruction if they did not desist. One of the party endeavoured to mollify him by say ing, " lam an auld man an' na able to gee about;" but the countryman shrewdly replied, 46 if you're an auld man you're no fit to Loup dykes." LAW INTELLTGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY—(Tuxs DAY.) CONSEQUENCE OF SENDING LETTERS TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR.-TAMUIt V. FEAIINEY. The Loan CHANcELLon., alluding to this case, said, I have read over the whole of the papers most carefully, and I had 'prepared myself to give judgment in it this morning. Mr. Fearney has, however, thought proper to send me this letter (handing it down), but I have not, nor will I, read it. 1 have repeatedly complained of ►his - same thing, and I now repeat, that on no consi deration whatever will I, while I have the admi nistration of justice here, allow myself to be biassed by any communication thus privately made. The consequence•of the course purseed • is, that I will not now give judgment, hut as the communication has been made to me, perhaps there may be something that Counsel'ought to he advised of, and I shall therefore give them a►t opportunity of reading it. before I proceed to dis- • pose of the case.
