We write as if the Greeks had been already subdued, for little hope have we of any other issue to the struggle, seeing the national dissen sions of the Patriots enfeebles their efforts, and neutralises all their exertions. 'When the councils of a struggling, people are directed by men flot Only jealous of,hut also at variance with each other, we can entertain but very slight hopes of success, notwithstanding their cause, perhaps, in other hands would command it. We have now before us some Dutch Papers, which contain advices from Corfu and Trieste, an d which say that C OLOCOTRONI an d hi s adherents are at Napoli di Romania, tak ing oaths of fidelity to the common cause, and secretly intri gu i ng aga i nst each other, without moving against the Turks.—These ad-vices also say that the sloreats will not take up arms, and that AlivrtocounArro and Cc- LET:/ have been obliged to lay down their offices. With these rec i ta l s, what prospect is there of final success? H owever me l anc h o l y such an issue may be to the cause of rational liberty, we cannot entertain much sorrow for the Greeks themselves. If such a cause as their's c ould not induce them to forget petty aniinosi ties, and lay aside jealousy and hatred of each other when combining for the common Weal against the common foe, we must consider them as degraded in mind as they have been in condition, and can' only won `l", that amidst such a people spirit enough was tb b e found to excite them to rebellion against their oppressors.

RESIDENCE. —The house situate between the Foreign and Colonial Offices, in Downing street, late the property of Sir Robert Preston, Baronet, has been purchased of Sir Robert, for the residence of Mr. Secretary Canning, possession of which was to be given to Mr. Canning last Wednesday. The rooms in the Foreign Office which look into St. James's-park, are to be added to this house, together with the other rooms in the office.

Sir Fr3ncis Burdett is now at his seat at Ramsbury in Wilt shire, where, it is probable, his friend, Lord Cochrane, will shortly pay him a visit. One of the rumours of fashionable life is, that the beautiful Lady Emily Lygon, youngest daughter of Lady Beauchamp, is soon to crown the hopes of Bamford Heathcote, Esq. at the altar o f Hymen. E LOP EMENT. —On Saturday last a young gentleman, the son of Air.

THE SECOND LION FIGHT. ( From the Times.) [The following account is from' a Correspon dent. We have not time nor room for more than an expres sion of disgust and indignation at the cruelty of the spectacle and the supineness of the magistracy.] Wombwell has, notwithstanding the strong expression of the public indignation which accompanied the exposure of the lion Nero to the six dogs, kept his word with the lovers of cruel sports by a second exhibition. He matched his " Wal lace," a fine lion, cubbed in Scotland, against six of the best dogs that could b e found. Wallace's temper is the very oppo site of that of the gentle Nero. It is but seldom that he lets even his feeders approach him and he soon shows that lie can. not reconcile himself to familiarity from any creature not of his own species. Nero has completely recovered, we are glad to say, from the severe usage he received ; but of his opponents, the spirited Turk is dead, and most of the rest are much torn and maimed. Towards eight o'clock the 'Factory yard was well attended, at ss. each person, and soon after the battle commenced. The lion was turned from his den to the same stage on which Nero fought. The match was— Three couples of dogs to be slipped at him—two at a time. 2d. Twenty minutes or more, as the umpires should think fit, to be allowed between each attack. 3d. The dogs to he handed to the cage once only. Tinker, Ball, Billy, Sweep, Turpin, Tiger. TIIE FIGHT. In the Ist round, Tinker and Ball were let loose, and both made a gallant attack ; the lion having waited for them as if aware of the approach of his foes. He showed himself s rest lion, and fought like one. He clapped his paw upon poor Ball, took Tinker in his teeth, and deliberately walked round the stage with him as a cat would with a mouse. Ball released from the paw, worked all he could, but Wallace treated his slight punishment by a kick now and. then. He at length dropped Tinker, and that poor animal crawled off the stage as well as he could. The lion then seized Ball by -the - mouth, and played precisely the same game with him as if he had' actually been trained to it. Ball would have been almost devoured, but his second got hold of him through the bars and hauled him away. 'rtirpin, a London, and Sweep a Liverpool dog, made an excellent attack, but it was three or four minutes before the ingenuity of their seconds could get them on. Wallace squatted on his haunches and placed himself erect at the slope where the dogs mounted the stage, as if he thought they dared not approach. The dogs when on fought gallantly, but both were vanquished in less than a minute after their attack. The London dog bolted as soon as he could extricated himself from the lion's grasp, but Sweep would have been killed on the spot but he was released. Wedgbury untied Billy and Tiger, casting a most piteous look upon the wounded dogs around him. Both went to work. Wallace seized Billy by the loins, and when shaking him, Tiger having run away, Wedgbury cried out, "There, you see how you've gammoned me to have the best dog in England killed." Billy, however, escaped with his life. He was drat*. bed through the railing, after having received a mark in the loins, which (if he recovers at all) will probably render him unlit for any future contest. The victory of course was declared in favour of the Lion. Several well-dressed women viewed the contest from the upper appartment of the factory. ITAvovEn, JULY 23.—111 s Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE having been informed of several fires that have lately happened in this Kingdom, has sent immediately 600 rix dol lars in gold towards the relief of the sufferers. BRUNSWICK, JULY 21.—The extreme heat of the weather has been accompanied with nu merous fires in our vicinity and other parts of the country, which great drought has rendered par ticularly destructive. Yesterday another large village was entirely consumed. On the 16th the town of Susen experienced a similar visita tion ; 193 houses were destroyed, and 9.00 faini lies reduced to the greatest distress, by the total destruction of all their property. AMSTERDAM, JULY 28.—The 11 th General Meeting of the Netherlands Bible Society was held yesterday. The reports laid before the Meeting shelved the flourishing condition of the Society. The accounts from distant countries were favourable. HAGUE, JULY '26.—The magistrates of Breda have judged it necessary to forbid, under' the penalties fixed in Art. 471, of the penal code, the scouring of the shops and pavement in front of the houses,: it being; advisable on account of the great drought to be sparing in the use of water, that there may be no want in case of fire. VI NOBILITY NOT TO ? 1 RADE.—According to the Maxims of the Government of Venice, the Nobles were not allowed to trade. It is observed by Father Paul, in his edition of these Maxims, that " the Nobility must abstain from mei , - " chandizinti, it being the only way to engage Merchants to " settle in the City ; for it' the Noblemen trade, the Merchants " will he afraid of being cheated and overawed in their buii " ness."—Edit. 1707, p. 33. This little work is deserving of attention in the present state of Italy. _ _ WIT.—Dr. HENNIKER being one day in con versation with that illustrious Statesman, the Earl of Chatham, amongst other questions, was asked by his Lordship how he defined Wit ?—" Wit," replied the Doctor, " is like what a " pension would be given by your Lordship to your humble " servant—a good thing well applied." ALL WAITERS.--In St. John's Hall, One day, during dinner, there happened to be a great paucity of :miters. A gentleman, impatient at the delay, at length exclaimed, " ll—n it, we can't get a waiter!"—" The devil we can't," said Mr. K--, who sat opposite, " I think we are all 44 waiters." BuRGAGES.—In the particulars of an approach ing sale in Devonshire, there is the following item :—" Also, to be disposed of, in ee, an assignable bond for four burgage votes, guaranteed for ever by the Mayor and returning officer; the voters being in strong opposition, and nearly divided, may place an election in the hands of the purchaser." ANCIENT EXTRAVAGANCE.— Clodius jEsopus, a Roman actor, contemporary with Cicero, was much addicted to luxury : according to Pliny the elder a single dish at his table, composed of the rarest singing birds, cost him 8001. sterling • and Horace records, that he dissolved in vinegar a precious pearl, and swallowed it. Notwithstanding this osten tatious profusion, so well was he rewarded, that he left a for tune equal to 160 , 000/. sterling behind him.—( Gem Biog. Dirt.) PORTRAIT OF DR. CLARKE.—A likeness of this celebrated traveller has just been engraved by Mr. SCSI TEN, from one of Mr. °PIE'S most animated Portraits. The able Engraver has done ample justice to the original painting—its animation, energy, brilliant effect, and strong likeness, being all admirably rendered. Silt J. 1. LEICESTER.—This eminent Patron of indigenou. Painting, Sir J. F. LEICESTER, has engaged Mr. flaYnqr on the amatory subject of Venus presenting herself hi:Pre , Achilles. The same Painter is employing his rare powers upon a biblical subject connected with the Passover, and of the size' of his Dentatus. BRICK. BE.r LHINGS.-11. is not generally known, that brick buildings expand and contract with the atmospheri cal changes of temperature. A series of experiments were carried on some years ago to investigate this fact, and the building was found to alter its form as the sun advanced ; even a slight shower of rain produced a sensible effect. As the different parts of buildings are seldom at the same tempera ture, this continual heaving and settling must materially acce lerate their decay. WELCH PRCACHING.—A Cambrian preacher lately proclaimed from hur pulpit, that our Lord and Master, on rising from the dead, appeared first to women, that the miracle might be the sooner published abroad. ItAIKEs seeing GLENGALL taking a glass of wine at Crockford's the other night, asked him what wine he w a s drinking ? to which 6r.Excutr. replied, " Wine— pooh—its cherry brandy."—" I should rather think," said ItAixEs, " its cherry bounce." • It was remarked, by , a celebrated wit, that the lady who fell out of the boat, in a late gay and fashionable party to Rich rescued from her perilous s it ua tion by th e of a Noble Lord, accompani e d the party fo r p t in h o e onmd s p ; t kaegn:olilfaiv)‘a gallantry a t little sun and air—(son and heir.)-4Sunday Paper.

There were moderate arrivals of most descriptions of Grain last week. This morning the fresh arrivals of Wheat from Essex and Kent were tolerably good, but of all other sorts of Corn the quantities fresh up are not considerable. Only two samples of new white wheat appeared for sale to-day, which are extremely dry, but not very fine in colour : the best obtained 78s. per qr. The Wheat trade has been very dull this morn ing, and all descriptions may be reported 2s. per qr. lower than this day se'nnight. The Barley trade remains in a stagnant state. Beans are further advanced 2s. to 3s. per qr. Boiling Pease fully maintain last quotations. Grey Pease are rather dearer.

The Mexican brig of war Swiftsure, Captain TILLY, arrived at Falmouth on Monday, with the Mexican Minister and suite, who is come to this country to carry into effect the treaty of commerce which was lately concluded by the British Commissioners (Messrs. Monier and Ward) with the Republic of Mexico : the ratification of the treaty was re ceived by his Majesty's ship Egeria. We learn that party spirit is much on the wane in,that country ; and it is hoped, by the steady, though necessarily slow, line of policy adopted by the existing Government, some of the prejudices and bigotry which, as a legacy, they inherit from their former oppressive and hardened masters, the Spaniards, will soon be shook off. The Castle of San Juan de 'Alm (the only solitary spot in the possession of Spain) still continued to receive supplies from Alvarica and other parts, notwithstanding the vigilance of the little Mexican squadron of schooners and gun-boats that con stantly cruise off there. It is not probable this place will fall into the hands of the Mexicans, until they can collect a suffi cient force to blockade it, and cope with the Spanish squadron at Havannah. Vera Cruz being the principal seaport on the coast, this spot (the entrance to which it commands) is invalu able in a commercial point of view. Lamar, who so long and nobly defended the place, is now on his way to Spain, to be tried by a Court Martial, on some puny charges of disaffection.

DAILY Extraels from the Morning Papers, Aug.l, 1895, [BRITISH PRESS.J The reduction of the duties levied on the im portation of tea and tobacco is now the only act necessary to put down foreign smuggling, and to relieve the country from the heavy expence at tending the preventive service, amounting an nually to nearly one million two hundred thou sand pounds sterling. As this is a most ungraci. ous service to the feelings of the officers employ. ed in it, the general opinion amongst the mer. cantile interest has for some time been, that his Majesty's Ministers would take an early oppor. tunity, by reducing the duties on tobacco and tea, to destroy the temptation for evasion. The heavy duties on tobacco press in a particular de gree on seamen, and on river and canal navigators, and are to them oppressive beyond any burden imposed on any other class of his Majesty's sub jects. Upwards of four millions sterling are. annually levied on tobacco, of which, however, only about three millions find their way into the Treasury, the expence of collecting amounting to nearly thirty per cent. on the gross amount drawn from the consumers. These duties were heretofore collected under two Acts of Parlia ment. By one of them the Excise collected, as a permanent tax, 3s. per lb., and by the other, which was renewed annually, the Customs coi -1 lected, what was called a war duty, of Is. per lb., making the entire duty on tobacco imported from the United States of North America, amount to 4s. per lb. In the act passed last Session of Parliament, for consolidating the duties of the Excise and Customs, the permanent duty of 3s. per lb. on tobacco, it is under stood, has alone been mentioned, and no notice whatever has been taken of the war duty of Is. per lb. This latter being levied under the authority of au annual Act, and this Act not having been renewed last Session of Parliament, ceased to exist on the sth of July last, and the country has therefore to congratulate itself for a farther remission of taxes to the amount of nearly one million sterling. Those who have paid the war duty on tobacco since the sth of July, will draw it back from the Treasury. It amounts to about sixty thousand pounds. Next Session of Par liament will probably make the tobacco duty As. per lb., by which the consumption of this neces sary article will be doubled, and by saving the great expence on the collection of duties undk4 the present restrictions, the Treasury will posi tively gain more duty than is at present paid into, it from this department of taxation. The reduc tion on the duties levied on spirits and wines has added to the revenue received from them, and the same will be the effect of the reduction of the tobacco duties to such a moderate rate as may render the evasion of them an object not worth attention. [New TIMES.] We perceive that the Mechanics are divided into two parties, with reference to the great ques tion of wages ; one party following Mr. Mac Culloch, and contending for the nprescity of straining population ; the other, violently oppos ing this doctrine, and imputing to its - advocates Some very absurd and unnatural sentiments. The Artizan's Chronicle, in which Mr. Pl4ce is under stood to write, is the organ of the former party : the Trades' Newspaper, conducted under thedi rection of a Committee of Workmen, sets forth the opinions of the latter. On both these pub. lications it concerns the Muster Manufacturers to. keep a vigilant eye. It is alleged that an Essay appeared in print some time ago, recom mending measures of an immoral and revolting character, with a view to reduce the supply of human labour below the demand. Of the ex-, istence of any such Essay we know nothing, and we apprehend that it may be dismissed from all. consideration ; for Hither the working class, nor any other class of Britons, would pay a moment's, attention to any suggestions ecsotrary to the first dictates of nature and reason. But th,. case i s , widely different with regard to those sounu, moral, and religious doctrines, which will even tually lead to the great object we have in view— an ultimate advance in real wages. This is to be effected by prudence and foresight, by avoiding the great evil of improvident marriages, and , by raising the standard of what the working classes consider to be the degree of comfort necessary to. the married state. Hence will follow, as we fully believe, not a decreasing but an increasing'popu lotion ; only the increase will be moderated'by, and keep pace with, the increasing demand, for the products of our industry. The state of the labouring population is loosely spoken of, as it were the same in all employments, and in' all parts of the Empire. Let the master point out to his workmen, and let the workmen reflect' ork the fact, that while one set of workmen are now holding out for five shillings and sixpence a day, another set are glad to work for 'eight pence ! We speak of the London carpenters, and of the labourers employed to cut a canal at the present moment in Ireland. True it is that the former class of men have more mechanical skill than the others : they have had a better me chanical education, and they have a little capitol in tools—but what then ? This only goes to prove, that skill and education and capital :are to be remunerated over and above mere manual labour. But the possessors of skill, and educa tion, and capital, constitute an aristocracy : the carpenters are aristocrats compared with the Ca*. nal diggers: and part of the fund raised the labour of the latter goes to support the former. We apply this argument to those who so loudly advocate the claims of mere labour, forgetting the numerous gradations which civilised- so ciety ,presents between the mete labourer and the wealthy capitalist. Let not these gradatioos be broken down ; they exist for the common good ; and when a breach is made in the general( fabric, it is likely to be as fatal to the low as to the high. In fact, the higher classes of mecha= nics are peculiarly liable to suffer in any convul.? sion. Those below them will, in a scarcity , of. work, undersell them in labour ; while tbesi above them, in an insecurity of property, wilt withdraw their capital to foreign countries.
