I Prom the Allgemeine Zeitung, May 9. ) Rotc, APRIL 21.—The subscriptions which were corn tinencod in 1819, for the reparation and security of the burying round of Christians not of the Roman Communion, have hitherto brought in the sum of 2,627 scudi 0 baj., and after obtaining the assent of the Roman Government, and making a contract in writing with the Roman Senate as ground landlord, the Company formed for the purpose has applied the money in this following manner :—A trench, 8 feet broad and. as many deep, round the old building ground, was lined and paved with bricks, and provided with a parapet and the necessary drains. The surface of the ground was made as level as possible, the de cayed and damaged monuments repaired, and those graves which had no monuments provided with a cross, and the name of the deceased, and the day of his death. Some relics of anti quity found in digging the trench were preserved as much as possible, and pointed out and explained by inscriptions., The sewburying ground assigned by Pius VII., and surrounded with a.wall at the expence of the Government, waylaid out with walks, terraces, and plantations, and a shed built to keep the tnols, and to afford temporary shelter in bad weather. Upon finally balancing the accounts, 22d February, 1825, there was ab overplus of 253 sc. 20 baj. An agreement has been made With the guardian of the Pyramid, who lives close by, that he shall receive 60 scudi annually for taking care of the monu 4nents, and cleaning and attending to the turf and the Plantations. This sum is provided for three or four Years, by the ov er plus above mentioned ; but it were to be 'wished that this constant expence might be provided for by the interest of a capital set apart for the purpose. The So ciety hppes that this place, which must be dear and sacred to so 'flan, families, and the care of preserving and adorning it will continue to enjoy the support of the Christian communities for !those fellow-believers it is destined. The accounts may be seen In the office of the Prussian Charge d'Affaires. Subscriptions are mired by Messr s . M. Torlonia and Co. bankers, and by the Prussian Consul, Chevalier Vincenzio Valenteni. The manner " 1 which they are applied will be made known in the same finer. (Signed) BUNSEN CLARK KOELLE. Ray. M tt.

Several persons pass ing raised the hapless child from the earth, and carried it into a neighbour's house, and al though life was not extinct such dreadful injuries 45 4.1 the child sustain, that its recovery is consi dered impossible. The face is. literally broken in one mass, and the front of the scull, it is be lieved, is fractured. The mother who witnessed the catastrophe, has since been nearly in a de ranged state. She fell into violent hysterics, and the child's falling and her agonising and piercing cries were so dreadful, that crowds collected round the house attracted by them to know the Cause. t`f . -, ;rot- - i c v 4i • ....-,-- - , : V: sk % g / f - J i , . , - z .

The Admiralty barge was in attendance to convey his Royal Highness on board the yacht, where he was received with a Royal salute, and the Royal standard was immediately hoisted. Notwithstanding the badness of the weather, the yards of the Trinity yacht, and other surrounding vessels , were manned, and every proper respect shewn to the Royal Personage. It is needless to say, that every attention was paid to make the entertainment worthy of the Illustrious Guests, who honoured the worthy Baronet with their company. The bad weather seemed only to add to the determination of the party to be pleased with the hospitality of their host. The festive scene was kept up till eleven o'clock, when his Royal Highness regained the shore, through the most drenching rain we almost ever remember.—Lords Sidmouth, and Stowell, were prevented being of the party, by indisposition, and the bad weather. We understand the worthy Baronet proceeds on his expedition to St. Petersburgh, and the northern Courts, in his yacht, the latter end of thi s wee k , accompan i e d by Lord Willoughby de Broke, in his Lordship's beautiful cutter, the Antelope. in which the present before the Police 13IGAMY. — A case of bigamy, proceedings a r e not yet parties ma istr a a r t e e s o t ' o h f i g t l i i i e r e c le y c t ; ab b i o l i t ty g ae at p sufficiently mature to meet the publ ic eye.

This morning there are not many samples of Wheat, Barley, and Beans, fresh at market, from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and only a few vessels up from the North. Our Millers manifest very little inclination to purchase Wheat to-day, and the trade is therefore so very dull that only the finest samples have obtained the terms of last Monday; Barley has no variation in value since this day se'nnight. Beans find buyers at full as good prices as last quoted. In Barley and Grey Peas there is no alteration. There are good quantities of Oats here for sale, and our buyers pur chased them on much the same terms as last Monday. The Flour trade remains extremely dull, but prices are unaltered.

This con duct on the part of the French Authorities appeared still more inexplicable to his Grace, when it was known that Captain Willes, of his Majesty's ship Brazen, had informed the Com mandant at Calais, that his Majesty's ship should salute the French national flag in the garrison, if he would give an assur ance that it would be returned with an equal number of guns, as complimentary to his Britannic Majesty's ffitg ; and that the offer was declined. His Grace ordered a relay of 411 horses to Paris, gave a dinner to the Officers in a tt en d ance, an d next d ay set off for Paris.—Her Grace made a present of 501. to the Master of the Cornet, and of 25/. to the Master of the Light ning, which latter vessel took over the luggage and servants." illustr a t e d w i th coloured plates SPORTING ANECOOTIZS.---A ►new' Edition of Ega p i ) s r t just hi g A p n u e b c Il i o s he , e very c ons id era b ly improved and e s a , and numerous Cllts..—" In this book (say the R ev i ewers ) th e Author has contrived to amass together a ll t h e particulars o f enlarged, n'sS Horse, Dog, and 'Man, worthy of being known.

DAILY Etlractsfrenti the,llf emir% 'Papers, Mmy 16, 1825; LBRITIPLI PREIS.] Morning Piper, which has not latterly given much attention to Greek news, broke its silence on Saturday,' with a long and melincholy article on the probable fate of Greece. Patras had been relieved—the Greek fleet had disappeared—and the army had mutinied in favour of Colcotroni. Not only wag Odysseus a traitor, but he had in duced our countryman, Trelawney, to abandon the cause of independence, and ally himself with the Turks. The Egyptian troops landed at Motion were, at the, lowest estimate, 10,000 in number, and, with French officers and a park of artillery, they had laid siege to Navarino.• This alarming intelligence was received in letteis from Zante, of the 9th inst.,•find its accuracy was such, the Jour nalist declared," that both the friends and enemies of the cause s -in the principal facts agree in th e ir statements." : in these circumstances, the tri umph of the Turks could not be doubtful or re mote. All that remained apparently for the Greeks was to prepare, like CTsar,to fall with dignity. In the course of Saturday, no means were neglected to give effect to this article, and the subsequent arrival of a file of the Oriental Spectator, con taining some snore news of the same stamp, moved the nerves of a few timid scripholders, and fright- , ened them out of the market ; and if the stories by which they were intimated had been true—if, indeed, any single fact had been true—they could hardly, as mere speculators, have been blamed in abandoning a cause so utterly hopeless. But the whole of these " advices from Zante" was as groundless as the wildest tale that fiction her self ever fabricated. Not a particle of truth was there in any part of the 66 accurate intelligence" in which it was positively stated, " both the friends and enemies of the cause agreed as to the principal facts." In the very Paper in which this assertion was published, appeared also the official dispatch from Conduriottis, announcing the defeat of the invaders of the Morea on the 27th of March, and the destruction of a body of 3,000 Egyptians near Navarino. It is strange how so absolute, and we had almost said, so pro fligate, a disregard of common decency, could have been manifested as that of sending forth in the same page two statements so completely sub versive of each other. The dispatch of Con duriottis was alone decisive of the falsehood of these " advices from Zante ;" bat to leave no sha dow of doubt remaining, the Greek Deputies have actually received letters from Zante, to the 16th of April, seven days later than the pretended advices, and in these letters no mention whatever is made of any circumstance which is reconcileable with the disastrous news trumpeted forth with so much parade. lf, however, any confirmation was ne cessary to the official dispatches and commutiica lions of the Greek Deputies, we have it in the ' , contents of the Austrian Observer, which ar rived yesterday. That Paper is well known for its constant and avowed hostility to the Greeks, and it never omits to publish any in formation it may receive calculated to repre. seat the condition of the 64 ' insurgents" in the most unfavourable point of view. Its means of obtaining intelligence would enable it to give the earliest account of any mis chief that might befal the Greeks. The Aus trian Observer admits that the reported success of the Egyptians its obtaining possession of Navarino was not confirmed, and that so far from the insvaders having attempted to advance into the Morea, they had contented themselves with entrenching themselves in a position between Coron and Motion, where we suppose they will remain till they are overwhelmed by the Greeks. The mutiny iu favour of Colocotroni rests on the authority of " some accounts" which the Austrian Observer does not pretend to be worthy of be lief. At the opening of every campaign, the enemies of Greece have predicted her subjuga tion. The expeditions of the Turks have been magnified to an irresistible force, but die cam paign has invariably ended by the entire over throw of the barbarians. So we have no fear will this, and in that feeling of confidence we look forward to the approaching struggle. [THE TI m Es.] We understand that the treaty of commerce , between this country and Buenos Ayres received the King's signature on Wednesday last, and on the following day Mr. Itivadavia, the Envoy for Buenos Ayres, had an interview with Mr. Can ning, at Combs. Wood, in which the treaties were exchanged. Mr. Itivadavia has thus had the hap piness of completing in his own person the great measure, which owes its origin principally to his talents and good conduct in the administration of the affairs of his country. This is not, however, the only benefit for which Buenos Ayres is indebted to 4 )t to d friends-F: iner.enotloie)fefreiv,r Mr. Rivadasia ; the associations for working the mines of La Plata,for establishing a bank at the seat of Government, and for promoting colonization in the country, are understood all to have origi nated from his suggestions and encouragement.— Even these services, though greater than fall to the lot of most men to perform for their fellow. citizens, do not include the whole of what Mr. Rivadavia has actually done for his country, nor express the half of the benefits which it has as it s agent several years ago, h e gain. de rived from his name and character.

By his a bility, prude and moderation in this high post, he brought about a more cordial union of the different provinces, and opened a more direct communication with the other free states of the world.

Few of the oldest' and most civilized states of Europe could produce a more l enlightened citizen, a more faithful AC- nister, or a more able diplomatist than Mr. Riva. davia. . • [TUL; PUBLIC LEDGBRI Last night we 'received the Austrian Obsetver - z to the 4th inst. which contains intelligence - from' Constantinople to the 12th ult. This intelligince completely upsets all that had been stated'in'this country, on the authority of letteri froth Zatiti,, respecting the triumphant progress or the EgyiW ,'•:- tians in the Morea. had the latter gained any • success, the organ of the Austrian Government would have proclaimed it with pleasure ; but let us see what it says on the subject :—" The re port, spread here (Constantinople) just before.the departure of the last mail, that lbraiiiM Pasha, immediately after the first landing, had. Sot. division of his 'troops to Navarin, and 'taken, pcnt-, session of the port and fortress, whilst another, division had advanced against Calarrata confirmed. 06 the contrary the Porte has ceived positive it formation that I brahim Pasha con tents; himself for the present with entrenching hies- • self in his position between Coron and Modoct,- • and is waiting for more troops, ammunition, and provisions, meantime constantly exerci sing his troops, and preparing them for lone and fatiguing marches." This information, which is given as official, entirely overturns, as we have already stated, the reported triumphs of the Egyptians, who, instead of id vancing boldly into the heart of the country, were employed in entrenching themselves close to the spot where they landed at. Whenever an invader takes this precaution at the beginning, it is clear that he has underrated the difficulties of his undertaking ; and it is also certain that he is in the presence of an active and enterprising opponent. It must be observed too, that the Egyptian Chief had taken these precautions after he had been joined by the second division of his troops, con sisting of 5,000 men, and when he had altogether • a corps of at least 15,000 men under his command. • If he thought it prudent to entrench himself with this large force, at the commencement too of his en terprize, and before the G reeks had time to assem ble their forces, tie may dekm it prudent to carry his caution much farther, when the whole force of the country is arrayed against him. It appears to us, from this account in The Austrian Observer, which is the more remarkable on account of the notorious partiality of that Paper, that Ibrahial Pasha has got himself into a most perilous scrape ; and it obviously adds great weight to the statement we published in our last, bear. ing the signature of the President of the Greek Government. [MORNING lIIMALDI - Though the climate under which we live deprives us of the clear sky and unvarying temperature, and many of the most valuable productions of the earth, yet the loss of these is more than compensated by the absence of •many of those diseases and annoyances under which countries more favourably situated in the above respects continually labour. The contagious disorders of other countries have long ceased to he known among us. Habits of personal cleanliness, and improved descriptions of dwel lings, prevent such diseases engendering at home ; while a wise and necessary, though perhaps tedious and inconvenient, system of Quarantine has prevented our importing any of those evils from abroad: If there can be any one subject more than another upon which it would be ad viseable " to let;well alone," one would suppose it must be this. But even into this subject some new-fangled crotchets, assuming the form of new lights and superior wisdom, have been attempt.. ed to be introduced ; and because some wise acre chuses to assert that the plague is non-con tagious, Parliament is gravely called upon- to assent to this absurdity, and actually to abandon the safeguards and barriers .which have been erected to keep it from - us. We inserted, a few days since, a very sensible letter from a Correspondent at Ramsgate, upon this subject ; and we are happy to perceive that, in a recent de bate, Mr. liuskisson employed himself in a way calculated to soothe every apprehension. Upon this occasion many extraordinary statements were made on both sides of the question. The assertion • that contagion cannot be introduced in clothes, bales of cotton, &c. we were surprised to seemn sisted upon, in the teeth of almost every man', knowledge to the contrary ; and the curious fact that the cupidity of Dutch traders indticed ad venturers to land questionable cargoes there to - obtain a-n earlier introduction here, is worthy of the attention of those in whose department the regulation of these matters rests ; while it tends to show that the story of our neiglihotrrs selling gunpowder to their own besiegers is not altogether a fable. While alluding to the danger of foreign contagion, it may not be amiss to look "a little to that which we still run at home. We allude particularly to the state of the dense p 0... pulation which inhabit the close lanes; courts, and alleys, of the metropolis and other large . , towns. We often wonder that such places do not produce a sense of datrger at least. Indeed, it is well known that malignant fevers are often found to 'rage in such places," 'the 'consequences 1 . 1 of which, but for the reasons we have already given, might be very serious. The state of such places is in a great measure, owing to the neglect of parochial boards and authorities, who, though they levy rates for paving, lighting and Cleansing all parts of the town, pay little attention ,to those places where such cleansing is most wanted, and ought to be most freqUerit. We think, tOo,'it would be a good regulation if the landlords. of honses so situated were compelled' to have the interior of them white-washed once in every year. It is well known how conducive to health such a practice would be,- to say nothing 'of the many other advantages it would, produce. At any rate, the scavengers might. be compelled to visit the narrow and confined streets of Shore-
