Is therefore the long-wished-for object of RUs sian diplomacy, namely, th dismemberment of Turkey, to be now attempted ? And is this at tempt to be made with the consent of all the other great Powers, including this country ? If this is the case, the immediate deliverance of Greece may be effected, but we cannot but think that the —ate consequences co this country will be very important.

Greeee may, it is true, if raised into an independent and powerful State, inter pose hereafter, many obstacles to the progress pf a Russian armament from the Black Sea ; but still as no insurmountable obstacle would exist, the se curity of all our possessions and interests in the Mediterranean would be materially lessened. At all events, whether this object of Russia is at length to be gratified or not, we cannot but repeat the hope we have so often expressed, that in the event of both Russia and France being engaged in naval operations in the Mediterranean, we shall have a squadron of line of battle ships in that sea sufficient to protect the interests of this country, or to uphold its honour, if any circumstances should occur to endanger either.

FUNERAL OF JOHN DORRINGTON, ESQ. OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. --This forenoon, at one o'clock the remains of this highly respectable gentleman were removed from ,his late residence in Queen-square, Westminster, for interment in the family vault under St. Margaret's Church. Mr. Dorrington was '76 years of age, and had been 60 years one of the principal Committee Clerks of the House of Commons ; he also held the situation of Clerk of the Fees. The hearse was followed by five mourn ing coaches, and a vast train of gentlemen's carriages. Amongst the mourners we noticed Sir F. Ommaney, Sir Thomas Tomlinson, Sir Francis Burdett, Captain Om manev, J. Pritchard, Esq., Messrs. Williams and Gun nell, the two Committee Clerks ; besides many :of the Members of the House of Commons. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Last night an ad journed Inquest was held in King-street, Golden-square, on the body of Eliza Gruggen, eight years of age, whose death was occasioned by eating some stale bread (impreg nated with arsenic), which she had picked up in the street.—The Jury returned the following verdict :_._. " That the deceased was poisoned with something it had picked up in the street and eaten, which the medical gentlemen had analysed, and found to contain arsenic, but how or by what means it came there, does not appear to this Jury. This Jury are also of opinion, that its death was accelerated through the inhuman treat ment of its parents, i►► having neglected to call in medical aid, until such time as death put a period to its sufferings, before medicine could be prepared for its relief, and we are also of opinion, that the children have not been properly fed or attended to." SQUIRREL HUNT.—About fifty young men placed themselves under the direction of Mr. Abijah Wood, of Hubbardton, and Mr. Ira Benson, of Castleton, Vermont, a short time since, and commenced a war of extermination upon these mischievous little quadrupeds, and other vermin. At the end of two weeks, the hunt terminated, and it was found that the party had slaughtered forty-three thousand five hun dred and seven ! a greater number than we re collect to have ever seen mentioned, as being destroyed by one party.--New York Advertiser. : . Two young theologians were arguing very keenly on the doctrine of philosophical necessity ; and when the advocate for liberty was pressed very hard by his opponent, and had nothing more to say for his own side of the question, he attempted to put an end to the discussion, by ex claiming, " I tell you what—l never can be brought to admit the doctrine of necessity, for it does away with all idea of virtue." " I beg your pardon," replied the other, "it does no such thing ; for what can be more common than to make a virtue of necessity ?" A destructive fire took place at Ashburton on Saturday morning last, about half -past two o'clock, in the factory of Mr. Caunter. It burnt with such rapidity, that the whole of the building, with the entire stock, was almost immediately destroyed ; and communicating with the dwel ling-house, that was also consumed; and three others materially injured. A tan-yard belonging to Mr. Mann, with all the stock, and part of Mr. Hem's tan-yard, also fell beneath the •de vouring e l ement.

This being the seal day, motions were appointed to be made, but a considerable portion of the morning was oc cupied in hearing EX-PARTE BURGES IN THE MATTER. OF SURGES, A BANKRUPT. The matter was allowed to stand for this morning under an impression that it would not take more than five mi nutes ; these turned out, however, to be Chancery ones._ Messrs. Rose and Swanstou were heard on one side ; and Messrs. Sugden and Montagu on the other. The petition was presented by the bankrupt for the purpose of having in order to supersede the commission that had issued against him, on the ground of his not being a trader. The creditor contended, that the bankrupt being a brick maker, was, under the New Act of Parliament, a workman of goods or commodities. The point was quite new and of considerable importance. Mr. Bell's second Volume upon the Scotch Law under Sequestrations was the principal authority referred to, with the Act of Parliament. The LORD CHANCELLOR promised to consider the point. • Moguls V. DAVIS. This part-heard motion fora new trial was resumed. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. THE ARCHITECTURAL DICTIONARY. BARFIELD V. NICHOLSON AND ALLY. It will be recollected that an injunction had been granted to restrain the defendants from printing or publishing " the Builders' Practical Guide," on the grounds that it was a piracy from " the Architectural Dictionary ;" and they were also restrained from publishing any other work, with the name of Mr. Nicholson, on the same subject. The, plaintiff, who is a printer, purch ase d f rom Mr. Nicholson his moiety of the copyright of the work for 2501., the other moiety being already in the possession of the plaintiff. The defendant conceiving that he had been imposed on by Barfield as to the real value of the publica tion, filed a cross bill, praying that the contract for the sale of the moiety might be set aside on the ground of fraud. Both bills had been allowed to sleep until very recently, when, on the motion of the defendants, the plaintiff's bill was ordered to be dismissed for want of prosecution. Mr. HEALD and Mr. SuGDE applied to-day to have the order for dismissal discharged. The Learned Gentle man said, that. the real object of the plaintiff's bill was to procure the injunction, altho', as is usual in sech eases, the bill prayed for an account of the profits received by the defend ants, from the sale of the pirated work. It was also urged, that as the cross bill filed by Nicholson was to determine the whole question, namely, the validity of the contract for sale under which the plaintiff claimed, he was justified in not prosecuting .his own bill until the other came to a hearing : he merely wanted an injunction, and that he had been promised. Mr. WAKEFIELD opposed the application, and said that it could not be granted, as the order had been obtained irregularly. It had been laid down by the Lord Chancel lor a few days back, that in such an application of this nature, the form of motion should be for leave to restore the bill. The VICE-CHANcrr.r.ort thought the plaintiff's bill ought to be restored. With respect to the objection urged by Mr. Wakefield, that could be easily removed by plaintiff's amending the notice of motion. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE KING V. JOHAN BERNANDA DE ROTCHA. The COMMON SERGEANT applied to Mr. Justice BAY- Lry, while disposing of motions of course this morning, to admit the defendant to the benefit of the rules of the King's Bench prison, in which he was confined under the sentence of this Court for having published a libel on the Marquis de Palmella. In support of the application the Learned Counsel urged the dangerous state of the de fendant's health. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, that he never knew au in stance in which a person confined as a criminal was ad mitted to the benefit of the rules; but it was customary, after the expiration of the term of imprisonment, to give this privilege while confined for the fine. His Lordship, however, desired the Learned Counsel to mention the mat ter to the whole Court. THE KING V. RAMSDEN AND CLARK. This was an indictment against the defendants and two others, for conspiring together to sue out a commission of bankrupt against the defendants, Ramsden and Clark, who carried on business as coal merchants, with a view to de fraud the creditors of Ramsden. It was tried at Guildhall, and Ramsden and Clark were found guilty, but the others were acquitted. The defendants in the course of this . Term, obtained a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, on the ground that the assignment in favour of Smallwood, the assignee for the defendants, was refused to be admitted as evidence at the trial. Lord TENTERDEN; in delivering the judgment of the Court this morning,' said, that as the indictment was for a conspiracy, it was quite unnecessary to admit the assign ment in evidence, and that it would be a great disgrace to the law if a new trial should be granted, merely because a point wholly immaterial to the principal question was not investigated.—The rule was therefore discharged. The defendants having appeared in Court, Lord TENTERDEN said the Court was quite ready to pass sentence now. _ _ _ The CONDION SERGEANT and Mr. PoLLocir. requested some delay, as the defendants had some affidavits to pre sent which were not yet prepared. Clark complained that 'be had been confined already seven months, in the Giltspur-street prison for this matter, on the warrant of Mr. Justice Bayley, although he was en tirely innocent. Lord TENTERDEN said, the Jury were the best judges, and they found him guilty. After some further conversation, Lord TENTERnEN or dered both defendants to be confined in the King's Bench Prison in the mean time, and to be brought up for judg ment the 10th of next term. , OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY. SANDEMAN V. BRIDGE.' This was an action brought by the plaintiff for the reco very of 13s. as the hire of a post-chaise, which he was obliged to hire, in consequence of the defendant, who is the driver of a stage-coach, and with whom the plaintiff en gaged to convey him from Clapton to London, having ne glected to call for him.—The plaintiff recovered a verdict. The defendant obtained a rule Nisi in course of the term, on the ground that the contract having been entered into on a Sunday, it could not he fulfilled, without violating the statute of Charles the 11., enjoining the due observance of the Lord's Day. Lord TENTERDEN this morning in delivering judgment said, that the Court had carefully examined the statutes on the subject, which contained some ambiguous language. By the statute of Charles the First, it was enacted, that "No carriers with any horse or horses, no waggon men with any waggon or waggons, nor any carman with any cart or carts, nor any wainman with any wain or wains, nor any'drovers with any cattle, should travel upon the Lord's Day, under a penalty of twenty shillings." The statute of 29 Charles 11. chap. 7, enacted, • that "no tradesman, artificer, workman, la • bourer, or other person whatsoever, shall do or exercise any worldly labour, business .or work, on the Lord's Day." Nov, after careful deliberation, the Court thought that it - was not in the contemplation of the Legislature, when they passed the last mentioned Act, to include hackney coachmen and stage drivers under the words, " other persOn whatsoever," but merely those engage d in manual labour resembling those particularly before described; and therefore that the defendant might have fulfilled his contract without violating the statute.— Judgment for the plaintiff. • PREROGATIVE COURT. ItAKIR V. BAKTu.. This was a suit to try the validity of a will propounded by the brotlier of the testator, 3. Baker, and opposed by the widow, on the grotto(' that the testator's brother had procured the will now propounded by fraudulent means, and that it was invalid. The widow would only take a legacy o f ten guineas under the will, the bulk of the tes tator's property being left to his brother. . its judgment, o b serve d, th a t a person C ; u' propounding n pronouncing ndingawil, w as always bound to adduce satisfactory proofs of its validity. In the first case the Court was not satisfied of the validity of the instrument propounded, and therefore decled against the will, declar ing the deceased to have, died intestate, and decreeing ad ministration to his widow. The'Coort, however, ordzred that the costs' of the suit should be paid out of ele property of the deceased. YARNOLD V. BARTLEY. In this case it appeared that J. Pinton died at Highgate in October, 182.5, l eav ing personal p roper t y t o t h e amoun t of 16,5004, and r e al p r operty to th e amount of 1,0001. The deceased left a sister and several nephews and neices, and his will was now opposed on the ground, that at the period of its execution, the testatcr was of unsound mind.-- The case stands for judgment.

CORN EXCHANGE. There are at present this week small supplies of nearly all sorts of Corn, but plenty being left on hand for the trifling de. inand now experienced, there is in consequence a dull trade here for all kinds of Grain, and Monday's prices are hardly supported.

It seems to be the general opinion that we are this year to have poor sport at these races. Two of their strongest supporters, the late Mr. Brandling and Sir Alexander Don, have paid the debt of nature, and Mr. Lambton has sold his stud and gone abroad. But we are sorry to see so little disposition in the neigbouring gentry to attend on these occasions. Their absence is not only felt by many who expect to profit from their expenditure, but the example of the great has an effect in deterring the more humble part of the community from attending. This year, from some misunderstanding, two gold cups have been ordered by the stewards—one of Mr. Bell, and the other of Messrs. Reid and Son, Dean-street. They are both very splendid as works of art. We do not know which is to be run for, but either of them will no doubt be highly prized by the winner.—The following is the result of the The Produce Stakes of 50gs. each, h. ft.

Yesterday the Thames Yacht Club gave their grand an r.ual sailing match, under the usual restrictions and regu lations of the Club. The competitors for the prize were to start from Blackwall, to sail round a boat moored off Gravesend, and to return to their place of departure; the one arriving first to win the prize. The vessels entered for the match were— The Will-o'-the-Wisp Rob Roy Lady Louisa Venus Royal Eagle 13 A steamlboaCwith a band of musk, was hired by the gentlemen of the Club for the use of their friends and such amateurs as might take an interest in the spectacle. The weather was peculiarly fine ; and whilst the wind tem pered the excessive heat of the sun, it varied during the day both in direction and degree, so as to compel the boats to go from before the wind to close hauled, and from car- . rying every stitch of canvas to heeling gunwhale under with reefed sails. It followed that the vessel which had the advantage under one circumstance was deprived of it under another; and whilst the working of the boats eli cited the dexterity and seamanship of their commanders and crews, the vessels themselves were well tried in all their bearings, and put to every evolution. Upon start ing (at twenty minutes to eleven), the Lady Louisa con trived to entangle the boom of the Venus in her ma; a rigging, and lost so much time in getting clear, tlis% they were both left to leeward, and in the rear for_ the race. The Venus, howeve ".early half and arrived at Gravesend second' to do. -Will-o'-the-Wisp. ee° " rel4 her giound, Upon the return, the Lady 1- ' 6 " i34 . ;hewed herself incom parably the best sailer upon a• ; wind, and was likely to have left ]per opponents at an immeasurable distance; but it coming on to blow v: ery f resh, been much astv- the Rob Roy, which had n, proved h erse lf th e b es t vesse l u n d er a press of , and very soon distanced three of her rivals, mai ".".aining a very interesting Chace with the Lady Louisa, w hich she at last out-sailed, and arrived at the starting point at precisely a quarter to five, having run from Biackwall to Gravesend and hack in six hours and five minutes, the Lady Louisa arriving precisely five minutes after. The Venus was the next which arrived, and after her followed the Will-o'-the-Wisp and the Royal Eagle. Every thing conspired to render the day higly amusing— if, indeed, we abstract the rather crowded state of the steam-:vessel, and the execrable accommodation as to pro_ visions and attendance. The prize was an elegant vase, with a vessel (similar to those which sailed for the prize) in dead silver at the top, and with cordage wove into handles, after the manner of the Warwick vase. The boats were very prettily worked ; and it would be dif f icult to conceive a more interesting sailing-match, or one bet ter contested, or which afforded a more frequent fluctua tion of hope and disappointment amongst the owners and partizans of the respective boats. FIGHT BETWEEN JEM BURNS AND WHITE- HEADED 808. FOR ONE HUNDRED POUNDS A-SIDE. This fight being fixed for yesterday, a most numer ous assemblage took place, at Ruscombe Lake, about seven miles below Maidenhead.

REMARKS. Never was there a fight so completely won out of the fire ; for although there were several periods xid; en Bob was taken for choice, it was thought at last that th e punish. , !bent he had received, combined with his "weakness--for it one time he actually did not know where to look for Lis man—precluded the hope of success : Such was his de termined game, however, that he twereame all difficulties, and, as it were, performed a miracle. Both men were ~ dreadfully exhausted, and both seemed, at periods, equally disinclined to go to the scratch, for nearly a minute orca iionally elapsed aft er ti me was calle d , b e f ore they w ou ld quit their second s ' k nees .
