It would be a mockery of common sense to argue the strange end absurd proposition advanced by the Austrian Observer, or it would- be easy to 311 (*w that that Monarch is the best served Whose Minister identifies his interests with titos e of his subjects, and who, by a conciliatory though dignified respect for . public opinion, Places the security of the Crown in the affections o f the people. There is one country, in whose Present state the Austrian Observer may find an instructive proof of the superiority of this latter mode of serving a Royal Master. Letters have been received from Constanti- "ople, dated the 0 0th ult., which . state that a 'vessel had been taken by the Turks, having on . board a large sum of money, and a quantity of beionging,to Lord Byron, but that nn a n application from Lord Strangford, claiming i t as English property, the whole was given up. Anothe r fact is mentioned, which,lf true, would lie a proof either of the extraordinary influence of Lord Strangford, or of unusual lenity in the Turkish Government. Twelve Greeks were ap prehended at Constantinople, on suspicion of hiving acted, either by themselves or by their correspondents, as the agents of the English Coinniittee in raising recruits and- supplies for the Greek army, and the proof of their guilt was deemed so far conclusive, that they were con demned to death ; but this sentence, on the re preientation of his Lordship, was, it is said, com intieed for baniihMeni. A letter from Odessa, of 'the 12th of March, so far from confirming the supposed renewal of differences between the Turks and the Russians, slates that the Russian troops in that quarter were breaking up from their cantonments.

THE SARcommius.—This celebrated in relique of remote antiquity, o f w hi c h we gave an accoun t our raper of Monday last, taken from that respectable Journal the Morn ing- Post of that day, has been the subject of genersl conversa tion since it-has been -knewn to have been purchased by Mr. SOANE, the patriotic view of preventing it from being. re moved. front this country. Dr. CLARKE, the well-known traveller, we understand, is of opinion - that a mass of AtA IIASTErt of such extraordinary magnitude, without reference to its antiquity, is worth at least 3,000/., but, in justice to Mr. SoANIE, it should be stated that he bought it on account of its rare antiquity, and with no view to profit, nor would it be in the least surprising if he were to pre sent it to the British Government, as a most interesting ad dition to our National treasures. We believe that there is no country in Europe which would not be proud of possessing such a rarity, and that the Emperor of RUSSIA, in particular, would rejoice to obtain it, if it were possible to purchate it from the liberal and patriotic individual who is now its proprietor. Monday being the Anniversary of the Corona tion of his Most Faithful Majesty JOHN VI., King of Portugal, Brazil, and Alga rves, a solemn re Deurn, or hymn of thanksgiving to Almighty God, for the anniversary of his Majesty's Ascen sion to the Throne of his Ancestors, was cele brated at the Portuguese Chapel, in South-street, May-fair. There were - present at the service, the Austrian, Spanish, Bavarian, Russian,French, .and Portuguese Ambassadors. Two Roman Ca tholic, Bishops, and a number of Clergymen, were within the sanctuary. The service was very im pressive. The Chapel was crowded with fa shionables, and a number of the Nobility of the Established Church, and others were present. Upon the retirement of Lord BEXLEY •(then Mr. VANSITTART) from the office of Chancellor of the Ex. chequer, the Corporation of the Borough of Harwich, that his. name might still honour their body, and as a mark of their re spect for his services to the town, solicited his acceptance of the office of High Steward, which he in a most handsome manner acceded to. To assure the Corporation on his part of his con tinued attachment to them, his Lordsbip has been pleased to present to them an elegant full length pbrtrait of hims e lf, i n his robes a s Ch a ncellor o f t h e E xc h equer . It is a most excel. lent likeness; and will shortly be placed in the Town Hall as a memento of as virtuous and honourable a character as ever graced the British Senate: Yesterday.-forenoon the boys of Cit ist's Hos pital, in number:about 660, walked from thence in procession to the Royal Exchange, where th e y f e ll out of rank, and each walked about with his friends, from whom they received presents of fruits and sweetmeats ; at one o'clock they again formed into procession, and headed by their mas ters,. tlzey proceeded to the Mansion House, where they were admitted to see the Egyptian Hall, with the ornaments and decorations as fitted up for the grand dinner of the preceding. day ; after- w hi c h t h ey returned with their beadles and nurses through the great saloon, where the Lord Mayor, Recorder, Chamberlain, Sheriffs, and several Aldermen, were -seated, in their robe - of office, with the Lady Mayoress and several other,Ladiei,, Each of the boys then received a plum c-ake and a glass of port wine, and a shilling or a sixpence, ac cording to their respective merits. Af ter t h is ceremony, his lerdship, the Sheriff's, Aldermen, &c. &c., after partaking of an elegant cold collation, went in. state procession to Christ Church, Newgate-street, to hear the Spital Sermon by the Rev. Samuel Crowther, M.A. _ ClvtLizaTtos.—On Thursday forenoon, the body of a man named WILSON, who has been missing for up wards of a month, was found in a pond in a garden near the Quarry-holes, on the Eastern Road to Leith. It has not been Ascertained, as far as we have heard, whether the unfortunat e man had come by his death through accident or otherwise. A remarkable opposition to the removal of the corpse was shown I.by the person on whose property it was found. Ile attempted to detain the body till the relatives made good the injury sustain ed in consequence of the influx of curious persons into ins pre mises.—( Edinburgh Observer.) In the neighbourhood of Stannington, near M'orpeth, a few days ago, a hawk made a dart amongst a brood of young chickens, to take his tithe;' but the hen seized him before he could escape with his prey, and kept him down until a boy, ran to the spot and captured him.—(Carlisle Journal,) P 0 E 1' 2Y: - • WHAT IS TIME ?

Of all 'the days play in the fighting line of businesi our informant does not recollect so good a one as that which occurred yesterday. The immediate match was . between the brave Ned Turner and P. Inglir, for 100 sovereigns aside. The ring was formed in a large meadow, and was but thinly attended. It is needless to descant upon the merits of Turner as a boxer. He who placed the in'vulnerability. of Scroggins upon the shelfL.the man who fought so gallantly with Randall and with Martin, was a prize tit himself.. Inglis, 'a bold ad venturer, of about hiy toirop4ry's weight; was only once a win ner, Upon, first trial. 's Bcmidg were Mattrice belay and ~11Igenzie for Inglis, and Josh'. 'Hudson and.Padaington Jones for Turner. Betting 6t04 on Inglis, from youth, at twenty one, and no disparagement in weight.. Round I. Turner . 1 1 " placed the grit, hit upon his adv ersary 's breast, (heavy) throu g h hi s guard, away, and floo re d hi s adversary, as if shot, with the left hand, fighting as usual, with the right foot in advance.-(4 9u d c i- wer in g , and even betting:) 2. Turner placed a right-handed hit upon his adversary's pimple, broke ground; and succeeded i n the same stratagem. Inglis returned, &warf r ont distance: Turner placed another . hit upon. his adversary's throat. A rally, with much determi nation, followed, in which the science of Turner strongly pre. railed. Turner broke grOund, and had it all his own way; as -Inglis could not reach him. It was a long round, and the fore head of Inglis, from a severe laceration, dr'Opped claret in abundance. Turner did as he liked, and threw his adversary 3. Turner out fought his adversary, and hit him heaVy by a swinger up with the left hand. Inglis was too good to be de nied, and he placed a good body hit. Turner fell in a twist. 4. - Turner had this round as all his own, and with both hands in his adversary's frontispiece kept the claret upon a regular flow. It spirted over those n earest the ropes, an d t h e onl y . question was will Ned's stamina last A doubtful case, thought some of his admirers: Turner went down worse for toil weakly. 5. Inglis made a turn in the fight by making . sorte exchanges. Turner went down weak and became a piper. Betters silent. 6. Inglis hit his adversary, but not home, and Turner went down weak. 7 and 8. Turner was distressed, but his opponent could not reach him. 9. A short round ; Turner uncorked the claret in another part of the olfactory organ, and fell from weakness. 10. Inglis got exhausted, and, a gay. round took place; in a manly rally, Turner's science gave him the best, but he fell from exhaustion. 11. A sine qua non. Both done.up for the minute. 12. Turner drew fresh claret in torrents from every organ, and fell weak, 13, 14, ancils. The bravery of Turner in distress was alike admiration at the Manner in which the gallant Inglis took his punishment. Turner kept the claret flowing, but there were no symptoms of denial to it, but he was lighting line against superior stamina. His hands were.one mass of claret from the hardness of Inglis. 16.-' Turner made two of the finest scientific hits with one hand, delivered with the second motion, over seen, but he fell. Until the 20th round the question *as, whether Inglis would stay to get punishment. In this round be was a blinker on the left side, but there was nothing like a negative about him. The 4fith round ended a most gallant - fight, when Inglis was declared the winner. Up to the last .round Turner bad the best of fighting, but went down weak at the end of each ; and it was not until the last touch of manhood had left him, that his seconds gave in for him. The head. of Inglis was a disfigure. ment rarelyseen, but his bravery was too undeniable. Among those whose admiration was excited by the manhood of the de cayed Ned Turner, had a feeling of. Sympathy for the goodness of his rival. The battle lasted one hour and eighteen minutes, and it was all fighting. REID THE CHELSEA ASPIRER AND COOPER THE 0 YPSXY. —We have no room for a detail of this manly battle, which was one of those stopped in Passion Week. It was for a purse of 20 sovereigns, and a trial worth 100. Cooper led at going off in fine gay fighting for six rounds.. lie floored Reid in the fir s t round, but in the - latter part of the battle he was pinked in every round with his adversary's right hand, and at the expira.. tion of 28 minutes, he was obliged to yield the palm of vic tory to a better man. Cooper has a fault in not looking after the delivery of his blows. Langan arrived in Dublin on Monday last; to the joy of his friends and the Fancy. lie was surrounded by crowds as he passed through the streets, who cheered their hero ; he was at ldngth obliged to. use a carriage, in order to escape the pres sure of friendship. - Ile is expected to hold his at the na tional tavern in Fownes's-street, The Erin, for the few nights he remains in town. lle shortly proceeds to his training exer cise.—(Dradin Journal.) IRELAND. OF CHURCHTOWN p4l;:ylAc7rts. - . Coif, APR:IL 13.—At nine o'clock Mr.Serjeant LEFROY took the place of Mr. Justic,e MARV:Ns, who went into City Records, in the County Criminal Court. The chal- . lenge by the , Court and prisoners were very numerous. Timothy Nrosnehan, Patrick .11f 4 Au1iffe, and' 7?ios._Lillis r were indicted for the murder of Hugh Coligan of Churchton, on the 31st January 1822, and for setting fire. to the Church town Barracks ort. the same day.---Guilty Death. • THE EXECUTION. These men were executed on Thursday, at Gallows Green. On their arrival at.the gallows, they knelt down, each attended by a Clergyman, and after reading their prayer books for .a abort time, the Rev. Mr, O'Connor called on the Sub-Sheriff, (Henry Bennett, Esq.) •and said that one of the unfortunate men had a few words to say to him. • The Sheriff came forward, and Al'Auliffe said--" I am guilty, Sir, of the crime for which I am about to suffer. I was at the attack, but having been wounded early in the affray, I returned home, and it was after werds the barrack was burned, and the policemen killed—but, I acknowledge my guilt the same as if I was there the whole time. I am sorry for it now, and the only reparation I Can make in this world is, to acknowledge it freely, which I now do, with all my ,heart, and w ou ld w i s h t h at I cou ld persuade others to do th same, and take warning by our un happy fate—l also irgive all the world, and beg the'prayers of all persons present." He delivered hiingelf in a clear manner, and repeated several of the sentences over again, and seemed desirous thatit should be known to every one. Brosnelian, who was next' to him, and heard this declaration,. then said, " acknowlcge freely my guilt,- I was there, and hope God will forgive me." The njee,unforttinate man, Lillis, in cOnSequence of the strong Olibi made out for him, said in general terms that " as the other two made declarations; there was no occasion for him to do the same." The three then spoke to the Sheriff on some family matters, which he promised to have arranged for thenr, and on this assurance they seemed perfectly satisfied.— The • fatal preparations having been completed, the execu tioner was in the act of adjusting the rope een Brosnehan, previous to his reaching the drop, when one 'of the Clergy men desired him to 'desist fora moment, to which the culprit replied; quite resigned, " Let him, Sir, it does not matter."— lie . then ascended the ladder to th e platfortn, semi looking around . at the dense m ass of p eo ple, in a haul and audible manner implored their prayers. 111 4 Auliffe - next ascended with a firm' step, and the executioner drew the cap over Bros nellan's face, and the same with 111 4 A uliffe, when the latter eaid, Wait tilleve. take a farewell, and kiss each ether, .which we will do when he comes up," 'alluding to Lillis, who still re trained on his knees in prayer. Both pushed the caps off their faces, and remained praying fervently with the Clergyman, until Lillis joined them. - The three then shook hands and kissed each ether, and the caps we re drawn over their facei. 31'Anliffe, who was in the centre, held both their hands, on which Brosnehan took away . his hand and said, " his better not to hold hanas, a s it might give us more pain ;" while uttering the:le words the drop gave way, and this world was closed on them for over. APAuliffe died without a struggle, but Lillis and. Brosnehan suffered much,- particularly the latter. They were three strong men, and in the awful trial of nature SUF• tamed themselves with great nerve. It is a remarkable feature in this case, that Brosnehan and ill'Auliffe, three weeks be fore their execution, were working in obscurity as labourers in London. Additional Particulars of the Accident off KANE' Wharf.—The bodieS of two men, an in. fant, and-two - women, were yesterday and this morning found, and have been all owned. There are now missing, Mr. and Mrs. Sissens, of Horn's Court, Limehouse, and a young woman who was or the party of Mr. S.

Except a few, however, the bones crumbled to powder on long exposure to the atmosphere, owing most likely to the dry matrix in which they were incased. It is certainly very remarkable, that, in the comparatively few situations where ex cavations are made on the banks of the Forth, the remains of these huge inhabitants of the deep should occur; and it seems highly probable that a great number of these animals have been stranded about the same period, when the river flowed aboVe the present level corn fields. —(Edinburgh Star.) On Saturday last an attack was made upon Mr. Edward Gardiner, an opulent builder, in Elm -tree-road, . Mr. Gardiner and one of his workmen were quarrelltng,yespecting some work the latter had neglected to perform, sad,. words growing high, Mr. Gardiner struck him a slight blow. At this time they - were standing in the Grove. Jenkins instantly ran home, armed himself with a gun, loaded :with small shot, and returned towards the spot where lie had left his master standing, and, when he had reached him within about fifteen feet, he levelled the piece at Mr. G. and discharged it, the contents lodging in his breast and face. The unfortunate man instantly fell to the ground, and was raised' by some persons who came to his assistance, by whom he was conveyed home. Surgical aid was procured for him. Jenkins, as soon as he had carried his design into execution, - repaired to the Police Office, and procured an assault warrant against his master for the blow lie had struck him. - The warrant was placed in the 'hands of an officer, and made returnable on Monday, when Jenkins was in attendance to prefer his complaint.
