en insurrection, when the supporters of the French Administration can so rajr forget their 'Awn identity with the SULTAN of the Turkish Empire, we think we may he justified in sup- Petiing these wonders precede the birth of some P r od►gy or other terrible or beneficial to man kind. What views are entertained by the French Cabinet, in what method they intend to display their intentions in the first instance, and what great object is to be gained, of course we cannot Pa Y ; but nevertheless we feel convinced that the affairs of Greece form a subject of their (leeP deliberations, and when opportunity qff "ss the fact will speedily display itself. It is PVidPilt, however, the interference of France w ill be in support of the Greeks, and notwith standing we feel convinced some private or pecu- Ilar advantage is the stimulating motive of the french Cabinet, we rejoice in the prospect, as leading this struggle to an issue favourable to the Patriots, and the hopes of the Christian World. Some writer, in his kini?ness,had compared tl►e straggle or the Greeks with the Turks to the "ruggle of the Irish Catholics with the English (Invernment. With wonderful generosity the Elate repulses the idea, and in his extreme bene v°h• Ice declares that the parties compared are osstatiatly different and even opposed. How thankful we ought to be to our generous enemy !!!

TILE THEATRE. y nit ET.—The Comedy of Married and Single was followed last night by a new piece, of three acts, entitled Quite Correct.--The follow ing is an outline of the plot : "Sir Harry Dartford (Mr. FINING), a gay and dissipated baronet, has been-for many years separated from his wife, who, under the name of Airs. Ros?more (Mrs. Davisosn, happens, with her daughter (Miss I'. (GLOVER), to reside at the same inn with her husband. Henry Alittbrd (Mr. RAYMOND) is the lover of the young lady ; the baronet endeavours to make a breach between them, partly to forward his own views, and partly to prevent his friend from marrying one whom he sup poses to be an obscure individual. He, therefore, writes to his daughter to meet him at a given hour; the invitation is accepted by the young lady, who is made acquainted with the fact of his being her father, and the jealous lover being informed of this circumstance, is of course driven to desperation. The fattier and the daughter meet, and the denountent takes place, which unites the husband and his wife, and the lover and his lady," This Drama is derived from a story in a popu lar Work, entitled Sayings and Doings, attri buted to Mr. Tftcoooni: HooK, a Gentleman well known in literary circles. It is evident, from the nature of the Piece, that whoever thought proper to prepare it for the stage expect. ed to owe its chief support to the ludicrous powers of LISTON, and on that ground he might look for the probability of success. Yet the Au thor hes depended principally on the gesticula tions of that popular Actor, rather than on his merit in the delivery of dialogue. The Play is, however, by no means devoid of interest, though it is certainly not very probable in its general struc ture, or in its intermediate incidents. It is not very likely that Lady Dartford, whose con duct as a wife was unimpeachable, and who was deserted by her husband without cause, should think it necessary to assume the name of Rose more, as if she were the guilty party. Neither is it probable that with her daughter s!ie should reside at a Hotel in so conspicuous a situation as Brighton, where, as her husband, and formerly herself, had moved in the circles of fashion, she would be constantly exposed to have her real name discovered, and consequently to bring her character and conduct into suspicion. This is an essential objection to the Piece considered cri tically, but as a public audience visit the Theatre rather for amusement than for nice examination, it may be passed over, if the general tenour of the Play is diverting, and mingled with something of a pathetic nature. Such is the present Piece, and therefore it may well be allowed to pass current in a Summer Theatre, io which the higher merits of dramatic composition are hardly to be expected or required. The characters are tolerably well contrasted. Time melancholy of a discarded wife, and the anxiety of an affectionate mother in Mrs. Rosemore, are well opposed to the insolent levity and high-bred pride of Lady Almeria Milford, the woman of fashion. The thoughtless gaiety of Sir Harry Dartford is also a good contrast to the grave and tender fidelity of the lover in Henry Milford. We might urge many objections to the drama, but as it is really diverting on the whole, and in the pathetic parts is calculated to excite amiable feelings and effect a moral impres sion, we shall conclude with observing that the acting is altogether excellent. LISTON is, of course, the main prop; but Mrs. Gr.ovEß, her Daughter, Mrs. DAVISON, and VIKING, gave an essential support to the piece, and deservedly secured its success in the fiat of a very numerous audience. Mrs. BELLCHAMBERS, who some years ago appeared to much advantage- as an Actress as well as a Singer, at Drury Lane Theatre, has, it seems, much improved her professional knowledee, by studying under the best mas ters during three years on the Continent.— Her voice is a fine Contralto, and was much ad mired while she performed here at the Oratorios, since she quitted the stage. We know not any female Performer so well calculated to succeed that interesting actress and singer Miss M. TREE, as Mrs. BELLCHAMBERS ; and we presume, there fore, that the winter Managers will be equally prompt to offer an engagement, as her talents and person would render her a valuable acquisition. • REBELLION 1745.—C010nel ARABIN, the fa ther of the present General A RABIN, was sent in pursuit of the PRETENDER, after the battle of Culloden, and a reward of 30,0001. was offered for his head. The private orders to the Colonel, however, were not to take him. In this mock pursuit the soldiers came very near the unfortu nate Prince, when one of his attendants who knew the danger of his Master, assumed the dress of the latter with the Garter and Star, and stepping forward, declared himself to be Prince CuAttLus. The Colonel, however, knew the contrary, but accepted him, and brought him to head-quarters, and in the mean time his master escaped. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, however, conceiving that the strictness of military duty required punishment, ordered the faithful and affectionate subject to be immediately hanged on the spot. MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. -Yesterday even ing Dr. BIRKBECK delivered the first Lecture at the New Theatre of the Institution, in Southampton-buildings, on the general principles of mechanical science. The principal feature of the lecture was the description of a machine, invented by a watchmaker of the name of Dier, in America, and not yet brought into use in thi s cou nt r y, which acts as a crane for raising weights with a power far beyond any before known.— The Learned Doctor said it was scarcely possible to imagine any machine more simple or more powerful, occupying the same space. The small machine exhibited, which consisted of a wheel of six inches diameter, with oblique leaves (or cogs) worked by a spiral groove in an axle or arbour, raised a weight of 500114. by the application of a force of 81b ; and 41b. was found sufficient to balance the 5001 b. The inventor has ap plied his contrivance to construction of clocks, by which he makes clocks with but three wheels go twelve months without winding up. One of these clocks was exhibited. There were upwards of 1,000 members of the institution present, and the high interest they took in the proceeding must be highly gratifying to the founders of the institution. A G oon NVILL.—A young man, a gunsmith,. in the neighbourhood of Chichester, some years ago, went into a wood to try a new gun, which unfortunately burst, and wounded him so se verely as to cause his death before the accident was discovered. lie had, however, sufficient strength and presence of mind to crawl, wounded as he was, to a tree, on which he wrote his will, bequeathing the property he had t o a young wo man, to whom he was betrothed, and to whom he was to have b een married in a f ew d ays, in these words, c; I l e ave my .house to Mary." Thi s was considered a good will, and the young wom a n inherited the property. ~,,E. gi.-..."'&!•4N; :4 • • . • • • ~ , a r:+l - , ",6--.',"..\,. ~,,,-).., ~,,,,.,,,\, •,, , , ~3,0; , J 4.4.,... ) , -... 4 .c -T_t.... —,, •,::(--...., ~ 4.40-_, 4-: 4 - ~,11.-0- „.. . . m • ,_„: „ ,..-„k...,-,,,. .

CMATIMAN Op Tug SALrotto SEssioss.—We stated, in our last, that Mr. Norris had been elected to fill this office. The Manchester Papers have the following paragraph on the subject:—" About half-past four o'clock a strong sen sation was created in court by the receipt of a letter from Mr. Serjeant Cross, addressed to Mr. Ashworth. This letter was not publicly read in court; but we understand, that in it the learned serjeant requested Mr. Ashworth to apprise the Bar and the Bench, that he did not consider the appointment of Mr. Norris to the chair as final, until it had been confirmed by Lord Bexley ; adding, that, according to the Act of Parliament, Mr. Norris was not eligible, he -being a Magistrate appointed only for a special purpose, under a particular Act of Parlia.ment.— The appointment of Mr. Norris to the chair, of course, causes a vacancy in the office of stipendiary Magistrate. Mr. Fell and Mr. Foster are candidates ; and they both left the court, and proceeded to London on Monday evening, to lay their claims before Lord Bexley, the Chancellor of the Duchy, who has the disposal of the office. Mr. Hall, a Barrister at Liverpool, is `also a candidate.—( Liverpool Courier, July 27.) A Du EL, which it is feared will prove fatal in its consequences, was fought on Thursday morning, on Crawley Common, between a Gentleman of the name of EI.PIIINSTONE and a Mr. BAIUNAIIII. The meeting was oc casioned by an alleged at - Front on the part of 3lr. Et.rit twSONE to a sister of Alr. IIartNARD, at an inn not far from Turner's llill. The first fire had no effect, but in the second Mr. ELPIIINSTONE was wounded on the side of the right breast, and the ball was not extracted, although attempted by Mr. BANKS, a professional gentleman. The parties are distantly related. _ --- The planet Venus is now to the right of the Sun, and may be seen by the naked eye in the day-time ; it is nearly south about nine o'clock in the morning, with an alti tude of about 15 degrees.

LOVE LAUGHS AT LOCKSMITHS.—One morning lately, the citizens of a mercantile corner of Edinburgh were amused with the descent of a fair damsel, attired in her robe de chambre, from a window, by means of a ladder. She was re ceived into the longing arms of an amorous swain, who had been for years kept in awful suspense, through the vigilance of an ancient duenna. Report sa y s , t h a t th e f a i r one had been anxiously waiting an opportunity of throwing herself into the embraces of the faithful youth ; but the watchful mother regularly tool: away her clothes, and locked her into her bed. room; hence it was that the maiden made her escape in her night attire. The pair were united shortly after. --(Edinburgh Times.) THE DEAD ALIVE.—A black man in Jamaica, having tasted freely the contents of the bottle, was discovered lying perfectly quiet in the street: information reached the Co toner of the circumstance, and he immediately issued his war rant for the summoning of a Jury, who accordingly met, and with the Coroner, were proceeding in the preliminary steps re quisite on such occasions, when, to the consternation of all present, while viewing the body, the man rose up arid declared he was not dead as yet, and would, therefore, far the present, save the Coroner and the Jury all further trouble.

ANOTHER LION FIGHT.—Mr. WHEELER, the person who has lately assisted Mr. MARTIN in enforcing the salutary provisions contained in Mr. M.'s Bill, for preventing creulty to animals, waited'upon the Loan MAYOR yesterday, and stated that he had just arrived from Warwick, where he had been informed that a similar disgraceful exhibition to that of Tuesday last was intended to take place this day, at seven o'clock in the evening; the cbntest to be between - a fresh lion (Wallace), belonging . to Mr. Wombwell, and six dogs.; he in consequence, wa ited on' Mr. -Wombwell (who admit ted the fact), and repeated he would not again , outrage public feeling by permitting such a disgraceful contest to be repeated. He, however, refused to comply with his request. He then applied to the Mayor of Warwick, and stated that all the most respectable inhabitants of Warwick wished to prevent the fight from taking place, and requested lie would interfere. He, however, told him, that although he was very anxious to do so, he did not think he had the power. Mr. Wheeler said, he thought the Act for the Suppression of Riotous Assemblies would authorize his interference, but the Mayor was of a contrary opinion.— He again went to Mr. Wombwell, and told hint if he did not undertake to prevent the fight, he would immediately proceed to town, and apply to the Chief Magistrate of the city upon the subject, and request that he would not suffer any of the ground whereon Bartholomew Fair is held to. be let to him ; when Wombwell said, that rather than be disappointed of the rich harvest lie expected to reap by the exhibition of the lion Nero there, he would prevent the fight ; but the Lord Mayor had no such power. Mr. Wombwell said, he had accordingly waited upon his Lordship, at the request of several of the most respectable inhabitants of Warwick (who I were willing to indemnify the Corporation for any. loss that might be sustained by not letting the ground), to request his Lordship would prevent any ground from being let to Womb well at the ensuing Fair, as, if a threat of that sort were held out, Wombwell would prevent the fight. The Lord Mayor said he re gretted the power of interfering did not rest with him, but with the Committee of the City Lands, otherwise he would most willingly comply with the applicant's request, but recommended an appli cation to the Chairman of the Committee upon the subject. Mr. Wheeler thanked his Lordship for the information, and said : he would sec the Chairman in the afternoon, and return imme: diately to Warwick.

A few (lays ago a man named Chalcroft and his wife died at Handicross, in consequence of usingwater for tea which had stood for some time in a copper, by which they were poisoned. We understand that water being scarce in the neigh bourhood, they had brought it from a considerable distance, and put it into the copper for use. Their children still remain very ill ; and a man who likewise partook of it, though in a great measure recovered, still feels the ill effects of drinking it.—(Sussex Paper.)

The owner had laid a wager of 01. that the horse could draw the enormous weight of 44 tons, and the cruelty was practised by beating and goading the animal to perform the merciless task. In the Criminal Court at Wexford, on Tues day, the gravity of the spectators was disturbed by a curious expression used by a culprit, who, on being sentenced to seven years' transporta tion, audaciously exclaimed to the Judge (John son)—" Well, my Lord, when I come back I shall bring you a monkey to scratch your wig !"

DREADFUL FIRE IN OLD CAVENDISII-STREET.- Last night, about half-past ten o'clock, the above neightonr hood was thrown into dreadful cor fusion by an alarm of fir.: proceeding from the house of 3lr. JONES, tailor, No. 4, Old Cavendish-street. The fire was first discovered by the strvant girl, and is supposed to I ave originated in the parlour. She had scarcely given the alarm when the flames burst up stair► and in every direction with incredible fury, and completely choked every avenue of escape. At this time the alarm and confusion was erettifilly great, at d the family had barely time to escape in a state of nudity ; the flames continued to rage with tremendous fury, and it was stated that a child and two women were stiA in the house. A gentleman, who was stated to be a fore:gm:7 of distiction, est ap d by the first floor window. At length the flames were subdued, being confined to the house, by great exertion, 'and a search was commenced for those who were said to have been burn ; and about three o'clock the body of an elderly female domestic was dug out of the ruins, an,i about eight o'clock this morning another body, that of an infant child of one of Mr. Jones's lodgers. The dreadful appear. ance of the bodies excited the deepest feelings of commiseration for the unhappy sufferers. Another female was removed the hospital, very much burnt. A detachment of the Guards, under the command of Lieutenant Manningham, were on the spot, and contributed greatly to protect the property. FIRE AT KILMAnNOCK.—'Phis monthly, a fires broke out between one and two o'clock in an old tNvo.story house in the back causeway, Kilmarnock, and before any as sistance arrived it was completely in flame, which spread with such rapidity in every direction that the whole range of bulb:— ings with which it was connected have been entirely burnt. ‘Ve regret to add that the Angel Inn and stables have also been burned to the ground. Mr. Begbie's horses and the greater part of the furniture have been saved ; but we lament to state that the whole of the inmates of the house where the fire broke out have perished in the conflagration, with the ex ception of an old woman, who fortunately escaped. When the coach left Kilmarnock this morning, a man, two women, and a child, had been found in the ruins..—(Ayr Ayr Paper, J 1 - - 'uly 28.) An Inquest was yesterday held at the King's Arms, Greenfield-street, Whitechapel, on the body of John Horford, a master butcher, who died suddenly on the preced ing. evening. The investigation of the case excited more than ordinary interest on account of a report that his dis solution was owing to the unskilfulness of the Surgeon who attended hiM. It appeared, however, from the evidence, that the rumour was quite groundless, and that he died in a fit of apoplexy. A verdict to that effect was accordingly returned. The Coroner remarked, that since the hot weather set in, he had not held less than 18 inquests on persons who died in a si milar way. DaowNlNG.—(From the Taunton Courier.) — More accidents have occurred this season from drowning than were remembered. As the stomach-pump has often proved efficacious in withdrawing poison, a correspondent suggests the probability of using it effectually in cases of drowning. The hint is good, and ought not to be lost sight of—County Herald. (The hint is not good,- and we gladly avail ourselves of the opinion of an intelligent medical friend on the suhject.) Water scarcely, if ever, enters either the passage to the stomach or lungs, in cases of drowning. The idea has given rise to a prac tice of the most dangerous tendency—that of suspending per sons by the heels, which is never resorted to but ,-y the most ignorant, as nothing can be more injurious, or more likely-to destroy any remains of vitality that may exist. The most active and useful practice is to endeavour to restore breathing, 'by pressing on the chest so as to excite natural actions, after drying the patient, and placing . him in a horizontal position-in tree, between blankets, applying warmth in the quickest and most convenient possible manner, both to the pit of the stomach and to the feet—rubbing the hands, arms, legs, &c. either wi t h the hand or flannel, and persevering in this manner, and until-me dical aid can he obtained, even if no symptom of vitality should .appear. 111 any indiViduals lose their lives in consequence t f raising their arms above water, the unbuoyed weight of which depress the head. Animals have neither notion nor ability to act in a similar manner, and therefore swim naturally. When a person falls into deep water, he generally rises to the surface, and continues there if he does not elevate his hands ; or should he move his hands under water in any manner he pleases, his head will rise so high as to allow him free liberty to breathe ; and it' he moves his legs as in the act of walking (or rather acif walking up stairs) his shoulders will rise above water, so.that he may use less exertion with his hands, or apply them to other purposes. These few plain directions are recommended to the tt. ntion of those who leave not learned to swim, as they may be the means in many instances of preserving life. The 'Tread-mills, we understand, are lobe at tended to, Hand Crank-Mills, as recommended by the late Sir J. C. Hippesley, Dr. Good, and others. There can be but one opinion on the policy of the change, for the former injure the limbs, while the latter exercised the arms, and thus become serviceable to the person on his return to manual labour. Thomas Dewey, whose trial for the murder of Maria Austen- were inserted a few days ago, was executed at Nottingham on Wednesday last, in the presence of a larger assemblage of persons than was ever known en a similar occasion. Ile died penitent, and after hanging the usual firth', his body was given to the surgeons for dissectior, A fatal accident occurred near Paris on Mon day last. An explosion took place at Ivry, in. a manufactory of fulminating powder matches. — The workmen of the manufactory escaped ;' but those of an adjoining glass-house, eager to give assistcnce, and unaware of the danger to. which they were exposing themselves, rushed in at one door, while the people belonging to , the mama factory were flying by another. These men be ing unfortunately involved in two successive plosion, three. were killed, and tea seserei7 wounded.
