PrepatatiOns said to be . making for that frightful exhibition called a . ' 4 1...i0n Fight," we hi've yet holes that'a return of 'right feelingin the owners of the noble ani.- •mals now destined for;destruction, or, if not, that a iense.' of duty in the MagiSttates of the neigh bouring.district, may Spare us the painful task of recording that such an outrage to every impulse of compassion and humanity has occurred among a civilized people. Prize:fighting is bad enough: itis an. odious and brutual applicution'of corpo-. real powers, given to man for self-defence, and of masculine boldness, which is perverted and de graded when otherwise employed than in the vindication of our country's quarrel, or at least in - the protection of the peaceful and unoffending • against unlawful violence. But the prize-fighting ratan is a voluntary agent ; .he courts his own clinger, he makes love to suffering, and has , not merely the stimulus of lucre, however base, to animate him, but he has pride and fortitude, exclusive attributes of • mankind, to bear him up under wounds, and weakness, and despair, and to render agony itself not altogether insupportable. On the other hand, how is it with these wretched beasts, in training, as the country prints tell us, for mutual torment under human 'keepers ? '!'hey exercise no free will—they have no cause for reciprocal jealousy or .animosity— they have not even appetite for each other's flesh • to-Touse them: far less have they any thirst of ..farne, or consciousness of noble though unsuc cessful daring, to chear them while sinking under the tusks or fangs of an antagonist. The whole spectacle is one of cold-blooded and wanton cru elty. It is not alone a scene of inhumanity, but a School of it. The butcheries of the arena among the degenerate Romans, helped largely to swell the - Praetor's list of fierce and murderous crimes. _Let one of the mercenary savages who look to making money by this havoc about to be perpetrated on a group of fine unconscious crea 4Ores,subrilit themselves to a bull-dog's bite, or to the plunge of a lion's claw, and then ask what Moral right they have to force these poor animals to the infliction of such tortures on each otlier. Mian's power over the brute creation is limited by subserviency to his legitimate wants and .comforts ; it does not extend to their punishment for - his vicious curiosity or his barbarous ca rites. Such Was' the foundation of Lord Er skine's argument, when he recommended in a speech, well worthy of his great name and virtues, a law for suppressing the practice of cruelty to animals. .On the same doctrine stands the excellent law of Mr. Martin, which we are confident will at length do good, by ;afEting criminality to the abuse of God's. lir ir4creatures. We wish most anxiously that . such a law could . be extended so as Lo cover all cases of inhumanity to the animal race ; and we are not sure that it is not already wide enough to embrace the poor dogs ,no.w preparing fot the sacrifice at Warwick." The magistrate IlttOrferes - eirectnally on this occasion will •do himself distinguished honour, and the public arr essential benefit. • [NEW TIMES.] . The " Lunatic trustees" Act (Stat. 6, Geo. IV. c: 74) - which we yesterday noticed, is not the 'ca],y statute. passed in the last Session on the sub ject of that unfortunate' malady which unseats -tilson from her throne.

Thai hie :•- sures seem to presage that on his return to Con stantinople he will suffer death, like so many of his predecessors, because he could not'insure suc cess. His fall is in some degree ascribed to the in trigues of the Viceroy of Egypt, who was desirous of obtaining the chief command of the Turkish fleet for his son Abrahim Pacha. The Divan, it ap pears, had decided that none but the High Admiral of the Porte could be invested with that rank, or the Sultan was not indisposed to have permitted Ibrahim to hold it. Since this decision, the Egyptian commander, with the view, it was sup posed, of preventing a conflict.of authority, de clared that he had no need of the Captain Pacha's assistance, as his own fleet was in every respect sufficient for him. There is no confirmation of Ibrahim's advance into the Morea, nor of any of the other successes said to have been lately gain er] over the Greeks, nor of the dissensions which were represented to prevail amongst them.—The Courier• Francais announces that an envoy has ar rived at Rome from Greece, to solicit the Pope to point out a Sovereign for that country. It is required that he should be of a Royal line, and of the ortho, dox, that is to say, of the Roman Catholic faith. His Holiness, who has hitherto viewed the Greek contest with indifference, as a mere struggle be tween schismatics and infidels, has been so much pleased with this application that he has resolved to give the Greeks all the aid in his power. He considers them again as Christians worth saving from utter extermination. This is the story published by the Paris Journalist. What credit it is entitled to, we shall probably know in a short time. EMORNING POST.] The French Papers (which arrived last night _by Express, to the 20th inst.) again teem with contradictory accounts respecting the operations of the armies and the proceedings of the parties in Greece. It is now said that the restoration of Colocotroni to liberty and power had proved fatal, not only to the political existence of the established Government, but to the lives of some of its members. The arrest of Mavrocordato had been previously mentioned, but if the present ac counts are correct, he was not merely confined to be put upon his trial, but was at once beheaded, together with the Minister at - War, Coletti. It is impossible, however, to ascertain the truth of these rumours, which circulate chiefly in the lonian Islands till we receive direct intel- ' ligence from Ode Morea u where the agents of the Greek Committee are no doubt active in col lecting facts. With respect to the naval victories of the• Greeks, we are better informed. Besides the official dispatches of the conquering Admirals, we have the corroborative evidence of the chas tisement inflicted on the defeated Commander by the Ottoman Sovereign. The report which we extracted some days since from a French Paper of the disgrace and dismissal of the High Admiral of the Porte, Kostrib generally known under the name of Captain Paella, is almost officially confirmed by Tues day's 111oniteur. But what is more impOrtant still, as it disproves the assertions of the Ati*trfait Observer. and other Papers; that the losses of the Captain Pa' ha were imaginary, is tine' fad,. that thoselosses are made the grounds on whiCh that Officer is deprived of his command, his pro perty provisionally sequestrated, and himself or. dered up to Constantinople to take. his trial, or rather- to be executed. It appears that, the Grand Seignor was prevented from sending him the .bow-string at the end of the last compaign by the interposition of the Divan, who refused to entrust Ibrahim, son to the Pacha of Egypt, with the supreme command of the Imperial fleet, and insisted on its being left in the hands of the High Admiral. But this interference can no longer save him, as the fortune of war has once declared itself -against him, and afforded arms to his enemies. He is now Cl - itged with having, out .. of jealousy of Ibrahim Pacha, slackened the equipment and sailing of his fleet, sent away the best officers, avoided the Greek Admiral Sachtury when he could have advantageously met hitt), and fought him only for the purpoSe of sacrificing vessels which he might have saved. In fact; the . amourit of his disasters is fully acknowledged, and the whole is made to fall on his devoted head. The belief at' Constantinople *was that he had lost half his fleet. [TIIE PUBLIC LEDGER. 3 The French and German Papers ,begin to ad mit, at last, that the affairs of Greece are involv ed in 'deep gloom. They now acknowledge that things wear the most alarming aspect in the ,Merea, where Ibrahim Pacha appears to'pursue his victorious career without intermission, .not withstanding his comparative inferiority with re spect to the number of his troops. This intelli gc-ice, is the more disheartening, as the Greeks have their chief strength in this province, where, it was,generally believed .they would be able to maintain their independence, whatever reverses it might sustain elsewhere. The Morea has been hitherto considered as the great bul wark of the cause, on account of her strong natural defences; but particularly in consequence or the atdoUr and cordiality with which, it was supposed, the inhabitants had taken up the con test. I3esides, it is the seat of Government, and the chief nursery of the armies of Greece ; and if she must resist a handful of barbarous. invad eri, we' fear there is no chance of effectual re sistance in any other 'quarter. In fact, with the eiception Of MisSoronghi, and a very few towns On thenorthern coast of the Gulph of L e panto, there is no struggle in any other part of Conti ientalGreeCe. Even Mossolonglii, it is con& dentlY . ltated, has already offered" to capitulate, and, sfiotild this intelligence be confirmed, the contest would henceforth be confined to the Mo rea,, where, as we have sheVvi it, begins already ,to languish. Since the defection of Odysseus, 'the Greeks of Livadia seem to be wholly infiu. , heticed by his infamous example, and to have vir tua'lly,if not formally, submitted t o the Porte.-- , From that period to the present moment we have p9thearO'of a single convenient in that extensive :province in favanr of 'the Greek cause ; and, from 'flits alitiiiiitik'ipathy; it ii"rizaolo be fea,red that the enemy will be induced fa send - tirolher arwy in that direction, in order to attack the Morea.— In this case, nothing Jess than a miracle could save that provi n c e f r o m beini , overrun and sub jugated, and, if continental Greece were once to bend the knee and the neck to her former task masters, insular Greece could not keep her head erect much longer, particularly as her superiority at sea is becom e problematical. {MORNING CHRONICLE:I Notwithstanding all that has passed- in the Counties of Kent and Su'rrey, and notwithstand ing all that has taken place in Parliament, we observe that Mr. Kenrick has been appointed, according to the Gazette of Saturday last, to ac company Mr. Jonathan Raine on one of the Welch Circuits. This, we believe, is the first instance of a Lawyer acting as a Judge, whilst a charge was standing against him on the Journals of the House of Commo►►s, not only unrefuted or even answered, but for the answering of which the party accused had petitioned for time. Perhaps Ministers may not on this occasion be so culpable as has been supposed, for they have not the power, unless supported by the Address of the two Houses of Parliament to the Crown, abso lutely to prevent Mr. Kenrick from going this Circuit, though we can imagine that a strong re presentation might have availed much. This, in deed, may have been made, and we have good reason to think that it has ; but we know full well that it is a very difficult matter to drag a wrong-headed man into the right course. [MORNING HERALD.] Two Lancashire Magistrates, it would seem, have fined a barber ss. for shaving his brother on a Sunday, and the brother ls. for being so shaved. The fine upon the barber was, we pre-1 sume, for what is termed " exercising his calling on the Sabbath-day ;" but under what law the latter fine was inflicted, we neither know nor can imagne. The Justices, we must be permitted to say, seem 'to shave quite as close as the bar ber ; and appear, as far at least as this case goes,' to be equal adepts at their respective callings. It is to be hoped their Worships had no roast beef for dinner on the same Sunday ; indeed, it would be quite as fit, we think, that people, who, from their station in life, can lay in a double allowance of the good things of the world on a Saturday, should abstain altogether from the sin of mastication on a Sun day ; for it surely must be quite as wicked (mo rally.speaking) for a rich,man to eat as for a poor man to shave or be shaved on the Sabbath day. We should be sorry to treat the subject with unbecoming levity ; but really we would ask, with what feelings but those of levity or dis gust can one read of such things as these ? We trust we have as true a respect for the Christian Sabbath as any Magistrate can have—we lament,' as much as they can do, its frequent violation; but it is not of works of cleanliness or necessity on that day that any reasonable man would complain, but of those of a very different nature, which no man can move in the world without observing. The Divine -Founder of Christianity tells us hien self,Ofrpersons who" strain at gnats and swallow camels ;". and we think that a sabbatical war against barbers fall; clearly within the range of such an ithputation. We have in the metropolis a Society for the Suppression of Vice, which, as far as we have witnessed its proceedings. are gnat-strainers of this description, who carry on war against petty offenders, leaving the greater ones (the camels) to proceed unheeded on their course. They very much, as we con ceive, misapprehend both the laws of God and man who strain the latter to this forced inter pretation. No duty is more incumbent upon those who make the laws, and upon those who execute them, than to render them, as far as pos sible, conformable to what we know. of the Di vine Will! but to become respecters of persons, which we know God is not, and to visit minor faults with vengeance, while greater ones are overlooked, is alike hostile to the inandates of religion and the true interests of society. GREAT FIRE AT CHRISTCHURCH, HANTS. (Extract of a letter from Christatarch,- July 20. 7 .3 o'clock.) As you will hear of the distressing fire which happened, this morning in this town, I think it best, to prevent your uneasiness on my account, to state the case . as far as it has at present pro ceeded. The fire broke out at about eleven o'clock, in the New Town, a little above Mr. Aldridge's, and had the wind continued as it then was, the destruction of the whole town it appears have been inevitable; but very providentially 'the' wind took the direction of the fields , and ,thereby is is hoped many houses Will be saved. Some time since I heard there were at least 50 houses burnt down,•and the fire, though much subdued, is still burning in various parts. You can scarcely think with what rapidity it spread,. the .houses being chiefly thatched, and many of mud 'Walls—the intense heat of the weather, and the: drynesS Of the buildings, no doubt contributed to the work of desolatiOn.— What 'renders it very afflicting is, that the suf ferers are chiefly_poor people, who, although it is hoped they have saved many of their things, will stilt he great losers. The Hellman has just been through the town, calling a meeting of the inhabit ants this ditY,at four o'clock, to take into considera tioh what will be the best mode of providing for their present' They will, I 'should think, have to sleep to-night in the fields, which are strewed with beds, &c. that are saved. It is on this account a happy circumstance that the nights are so hot. I hope something wilt be done to reinstate them in their dwellings, and that the destructive element will be shortly subdued. Some person in each house, will no doubt sit up all night, for there is a general alarm. Shipowners should , be aware, that by Act 6 Geo. IV, cap. 41, stamp duties are made no longer payable upon any deed of sale, or ttny conveyance, assignment, or other deed or instru mpot whatever, for the sale, transfer, or other dkposltion, either absolut*:ly or by way of wort gage or otherwise, of any ship, or vessel,.or any part, interest; 'share, or property of or in any ship or vessel. AMEftICA. THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL. The Boston Palladium, of June 20, contains a long account of the ceremony of laying the first stone of the intended monument on Bunker-hill„ to commemorate the celebrated battle on that spot at the commencement of the revolutionary war. The grand procession was composed, first,. of a military escort ; then followed tl►e survivors of the battle : These worthies were in eight baronc.aes and carriages, and were about forty in number ; each wearing on his breast, a badge, " Bunker-hill, June 17, 1775," and many beaiing the implements of war they used in the fight. Next came between one and two hundred revoltitionary offi cers and soldiers, each bearing an appropriate badge. • THE B. H. M. ASSOCIATION. In full numbers, six deep, all wearing the badge, " B. H. M. A." Hon. Mr. Webster, President, and the other Officers of the B. H. M. Association. The Rev. Dr. Kirkland, the Rev. Mr. Thaxter (a Revolutionary Chaplain) ; and the Rev. Mr. Walker, Chaplains of the day. Directors and Committees of the Association. _ . General Lafayette, in a coach and four, accompanied by Lieut.- General Lallemand.

United States and others. Delegations from various States. Delegation from the Pilgrim Society in Plymouth. Officers of the United States Navy, and Army, and of the Militia in Uniform. Citizens. The Masonic Procession succeeded. This section of the procession was very splendid, and exceeded two thousand of the fraternity, all with their jewels and regalia. Of the regalia of the Grand Lodge was a golden urn, borne by the Deputy Grand Master, containing a relic of the departed brother George Washington. In this order the whole proceeded from the State House; about half-past ten. Arrived at the Monument, the various sections of the pro cession, formed in squares around it ' • when the Grand Master of Massachusetts, accompanied by General LaWette, Presi dent Webster, the past Grand Masters,. District Deputy Grand Master, bearing the architectural implements; the• Grand Warden's, bearing the corn, wine, and oil, in vases, the Grand Chaplain, Grand Treasurer, and Principal Architect, repaired round the foundation stone, which having been squared, .le yelled, and plumbed, by the Grand Master brother Fayette, and Mr. Nirebster, and declared to be true and proper, a casket was deposited in the cavity of the stone, containing coins,- &c., and a silver plate with the following INSCRIPTION. " On the XVII day of. June, MDCCCXXV. at the re-• quest of the Bunker Hill Monument Association, the Most Worshipful John Abbot, Grand Master of Masons in,Massa chusetts, did, in the presence of General Lafayette • lay this Corner Stone of a Monument to testify the Gratitude of the present generation to their Fathers, who, on the 17th June, 1775, here fought, in the cause of their country, and of free institutions, the memorable Battle of Bunkei Hill, and with their .blood vindicated for their posterity the privileges and happiness this land has since enjoyed." After the ceremony was over, the guest's and subscribers tb . the dinner were then escorted to Bunker's Hill; where an edifice,- covering 3,400 square feet of ground had been erected, and in which, at 12 tables, running its entire length (400 feet), 4,000 plates were laid, which were all occupied. After dinner many appropriate toasts were given, and odes recited, by various individuals of-the company. Oh the health of GenerarLafayette'being drank, he rose, and thus expressed himself:--,Gentlemen, I will not longer tres pass on your time than to thank you in the :name of my Revo lutionary companions in arms and myself for the testimonies of esteem and affection; I may say, of filial affection, which have been bestowed upon us on the memorable celebration of this anniversary day ;' and to offer our fervent prayers for the. pre- • servation of that Republican freedom, equality, and self-go vernment—that blessed union between the States of the Con federacy . for which we have fought and bledyand on which rest the hopes of mankind. Permit me .to propose the following sentiment—" Bunker-bill, and the holy resistance to oppres: sion which has already enfranchised the American hemisphere— the next half century's jubilee's toast shall be-,.-to enfranchised Europe." Of the surviving officers of the battle, there were present seven Captains, three Lieutenants, and two Ensigns. No Field or Staff Officers now living.—ln the first carriage containing the officers who were in the battle *ere— Colonel Clarke, aged 95 ; Captain B. -Mann; aged 85 ;' Capt.
