Fan Not FUNDS.-JULY 18. Five per Cents 9l f \ 25 c. Bank Stock • 1598 f. 75 c. In another part of our Paper, this day, under the head " Russia AND TURKEY," we have inserted a curious demi-official article, purport ing to be a justification of the Emperor ALEX.. 'ANDER, for not having openly espoused the cause of the Greeks, alleging that the Greek insurrec tion was from the first discountenanced and dis approved by the Emperor,—denying that the affairs of the Greeks had any direct influence in Producing the existing differences between Russia a nd Turkey, which are asserted_ to be of a ic purely diplomatic nature," —and treating the glorious struggle of " the Emperor's fellow- Christians" for emancipation from the most odious tyranny to which Christians were ever s ubjected, as a " rebellion " against a Power which had been " recognized as an integral part of Europe at the late Congress of Vienna." If this document be genuine, it is a piece of miser able sophistry, intended to prepare the way for the final desertion of the Greek cause by Russia, a nd to account for the vacillation and indecision r theßussian Cabinet, in not sooner coming to a de termination on the question of Peace or War. It is more than ridiculous to assert that the Greek' insurrection had no share in the dispute between th e Cabinets of St. Petersburgh and Constan tinople, when all the negociations for preventing h°stilities between the two Powers had reference to the affairs of the Greeks :—it is absurd to allege that the origin of the disputes was purely o f a diplomatic nature, when it is notorious that ,the stipulations of the Russian Ultimatum, the re monstrances of Lord STRANGFORD, and the d eclarations not only of the Russian Ministry, b ut of Great Britain and every Power in Europe, w ere founded on the express ground of securing t ° the Greeks the free exercise of their religion, a nd exemption in some degree from the merciless cruelties to which they had hitherto been subject!

On Tuesday morning orders were received at Portsmouth to equip his Majesty's yacht the Royal George, Commodore the Hon. Sir Charles Paget, for the reception and conveyance of his Majesty to Leith, the King having on the previous day finally determined to visit his Scot's dominions immediately after the rising of Parliament. The Phaeton frigate, Captain W. A' Montagu, C.B. ; the Forte frigate, Sir T. Cochrane ; and his Majesty's tenders, the Calliope, Lieut. P. Justice (b), and Ca meleozi, Lieut. C. Witham, were ordered to attend the Royal yacht, and assemble at the Nore by the Ist of next month. The Board of Green Cloth arrived at Portsmouth from Carlton Palace on Wednesday, to order the necessary suitable supplies for his Majesty's voyage ; and on Thursday afternoon the Royal yacht went out of the harbour. .The Forte had come into the harbour ; but her defects will be speedily repaired, so that the Royal squadron may leave Portsmouth on Thursday morning next. The Egeria, 26, Capt. Toup Nicolas, C. 8., will join at the Nore. The Royal band is to embark in the Phaeton. The Royal George will go up to Greentvieh, where his Majesty will embark ; and, should the wind prove foul, the Royal yacht will be towed down the River by steam boats.—( Hampshire Telegraph.) We stop the Press again to announce, that the Right Hon. the LORD PROVOST this day received a letter from high au thority, informing him, that his MAJESTY has positively re solved to visit his ancient kingdom of Scotland this summer, and that he may be expected to reach Edinburgh on or about the 10th of August.--(Edinburgh Courant, July 18.., DEPARTURE OF THE ILLUSTRIOUS DANES. DOVER, JULY 21.—Yesterday morning, at the early hour of two o'clock, their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of DE x manic and suite arrived at Wright's Ship Hotel, in this town, to embark on board' the Royal Sovereign yacht, on their return to Denmark by the way of France. Their Royal Highnesses having travelled post for a consider able distance, stopped here the whole of yesterday to repose themselves after the fatigue of their journey. 'ln the course of the day they went and looked over our Castle, after which they returned, and each took a warm bath at Marsh's Royal Cla rence Baths, as well as the principal part of their suite. Their Royal Highnesses were pleased to express their high satisfac tion, nokonly of the baths, but of the attention that was paid to them; and it is but justice to remark, that the proprietor is justly entitled to the high patronage his excellent baths have lately received. About nine o'clock this morning their Royal llighnesses embarked on hoard the yacht (which lay appo site to the pier, amid the hearty cheers of the ,iumerous spectators that lined the beach, and under a Royal sa lute from the Heights Battery, the flags flying at the Castle heights, &c. also on board the different shipping in our har bour. The yacht which had previously weighed anchor then sailed with a fine breeze at W.S.W. and was likely to land them at Calais in two hours and a half or three hours from the time of embarkation. It is a remarkable circumstance that in a place like Dover, with such a constant succession of dis tinguished personages going to and fro, that we have not a single company of soldiers here to form a guard of honour, although we have barracks capable of accommodating 4000 men. The Guard of Honour on the landing of the Crown Prince of Denmark came all the way from Chatham for the purpose, and the one that attended this clay on the embarkation came with a band from Hythe. We have received Bombay papers to the middle of February, which, like most of the recent arrivals from the East Indies, are extremely barren of intelligence—the best test. however, of internal tranquillity and security. We are happy to find by an article dated from Ceylon, that the long boat of the Lady Castlereagh had arrived safely at Jaffna, so that the wreck of that vessel has not involved the loss of any lives. A communication from Tehree, received at Calcutta, led to the expectation that some petty warfare would arise on that frontier. A body of Scindiah's troops, under the command of Jeswunt Rao Patunkur and Josee Secander, had threatened an incursion in that quarter; in consequence of which the se cond battalion of the third native infantry, which had com menced its march to Agra, was recalled by an express from the Assistant,Political Agent to the Governor-General, requir ing its presence on the threatened point, for the protection of the Rajah. In contemplation of the approaching departure for Eng land of Sir Edward Hyde East, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, a large meeting, composed of the most opulent and respectable part of the Hindoo community, had been held at the Town-hall of Calcuttajor the purpose of raising a fund by subscription for procuring from Lurope a statue of the Chief Justice, to be erected in the town-hall, as a testimonial of the high estimation in which he is held by the Hindoos. About 12,000 rupees were subscribed immediately. These papers contain a notice of a new weekly paper, published in the Bengalee language, the first attempt of the kind, and edited by a learned Hindoo. In the first and second numbers were articles on the liberty of the native press, and on the trial by jury, which had been purchased with so much avidity that both were out of print. It appears under the title of " Sungband Coremuddy ;" or the " Moon of Intelligence." By advises of the latter end of December from the Portuguese settlement of Goa, it appears that the provisional government, formed on the 16th of September, had been removed from power by the inter ference of the military, and a new one appointed to govern, ad interim, till instructions could be obtained from the Cortes at Lisbon. Yesterday his MAJESTY gave audiences to Prince ESTERIIAZY, the LORD CHANCELLOR ' and the LORD CHAMBERLAIN.—Yesterday the Duke of Yowl vi sited the KlNG.—Yesterday Divine Service was perfc,rmed at the King's Palace, in Pall-mall, by the Rev. Dr. Stainer Clarke, Clerk of the Closet.—The Duke of York and the Prin cess Augusta attended Divine Service yesterday, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, and heard a sermon by the Rev. Mr. Geer. The Anthem was—" I have set God always before me," (Blake), which was sung by Masters Jones and Farndell i and Messrs. Salmon, Hawes, and I. B. Sale. Letters were received in town from Maran ham, on Saturday afternoon, dated June 5, which ' mention that every thing was quiet and orderly there at the above date. No alteration had taken place in the Government and Administration of the Province, notwithstanding an armed schooner, called Maria da Gloria, had arrived there from Rio Janeiro, with an invitation to join the cause of the capital, and also to bring over the two Deputies the Rio Janeiro party had decreed Maranham should have in the new Assembly of Brazilian Delegates, which the PRINCE and his Government had determined should be convened. Maranham had, however, rejected the overture, and the schooner was on the eve of her departure for Para, on a similar mission. DovEtt, JULY 19.—The Royal Sovereign yacht has been in the Roads nearly the whole day, waiting to receive their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Den mark, who are expected hourly to arrive at Wright's hotel. A detachment of the Royal Staff Corps, with the band, march in this evening from Hythe, as a guard of honour to the royal per sonages.—Sailed his Majesty's steam packet the Arrow, with the mail and passengers to Calais ; also the Sovereign steam vessel, with his Excellency Lord Stewart, his lady and suite, from Wright's hotel.—Sailed the Medusa steam vessel, with Lord Dundas and suite, for Boulogne.—Arrived his Majesty's steam packet the Dasher, with passengers from Calais.—This being the anniversary of his Majesty's Coronation, the guns at the Castle and Heights fired a royal salute. . _ MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—An examination took place at the Police Office in this 'street, on Friday night, upon a charge brought against a Dignitary of the Church and a soldier, of too disgusting a na ture for our Paper. The Clergyman was admitted to bail, under the penalty of 10001. and the sol dier committed for trial. The indignation of the populace was excited on the occasion, and both of the prisoners were roughly handled. FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS.

Viscount and Viscountess Falmouth and family left town on Saturday for their seat, Woolhampton, Berks. Lord and Lady Stewart and suite have left town for Paris on their way to Vienna.

SATURDAY.—Outinian Lecture, at Mr. Penn's, New-street, Spring-gardens, at three o'clock. THE PARK AND THE GARDENS.—Hyde Park has seldom exhibited so pleasing a picture as it did yesterday, the day being agreeably cool, and the roads free from dust. There was some diminution of gay equipages, but still the muster far ex ceeded any thing we recollect at this season of the year. There were many elegant barouches, a la Cavendish. But, among horses, we saw none to compare to those in cabriolets, for spirit, size, and elegance. A few Dennets, with small Arabians, and one or two curricles. Kensington-gardens did not make so great a display as heretofore. Our men of fashion appear less fastidious, for we' observed several playing with their children, seated on the grass. THE NEW CLtrns.—The foundation is now digging for the New Union Club, the frontage where the first station of the Phoenix Fire Office stood. The depth will be prodigious. At the north-west corner of Suffolk-street there will arise another Club, called the University Club ; the front is complete, and is opposite Cockspur-street. THE LATE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD'S WILL. The will of the late Most Noble FRANCIS INGRAM SEYMOUR CONWAY, Marquis of HERTFORD, was proved in the Prerogative Court, in Doctor's Commons, on the 9th instant, by Isabella Ann Ingram, Marchioness of Hertford, the relict, and Francis Charles Seymour Conway, Marquis of Hertford, the son, two of the Executors, power being reserved to Lord Henry Seymour, the brother, the other Executor, who has not at present assumed the trust. —The testator, in the first ,place, devises his freehold and copyhold estates in the county of York to the Marchioness, for life, and, after her death, directs the same to be sold, and the purchase-money to be subject to the general direc tions as to his residuary property. (They are to be offered for sale at the price his Lordship gave for them, to the person who, at the time of such sale, shall be in possession of the mansion of Temple Newsam, in that county, with 1601. to defray the charges of conveyance). All other freehold estates whatsoever, either in England or Ireland, are devised to Lord Yarmouth for life, and subsequently to his son, Lord Beauchamp, and his heirs-male ; the reversion is then to attend the provisions created by certain deeds made some years since concerning the Ragley estates. All household furniture, horses, carriages, carts, implements of husbandry, provisions, stock, &c. at Ragley and Sudborne, are bequeathed to Lord Yarmouth ; and the leasehold estates are given to trus tees in the same manner, and for the benefit of the persons en titled to the said freeholds of inheritance, excepting, however, Hertford House and Grounds in Manchester-square, and all pro perty therein, with the carriages, horses, and every thing apper taining, and also the house adjoining, which are left to the Marchioness for life, and she is invested with the power of leav ing the same by will to any person she thinks proper, for the term only of such person's life, when the said houses, &c. are to be subject to the previous trusts. This power, however, is by a codicil revoked. All monies in the funds and in any public companies, are given absolutely to her Ladyship, with an ob servation, that although the testator desires that she should have the full benefit of the bequest, if she is so desirous ; yet that he feels confident of her recollecting the conversation that lately passed between them respecting it. Five thousand pounds are bequeathed to Lord Henry Seymour, the Mar quis's brother, who is appointed an executor : a codicil re vokes the bequest. To each of his other brothers, one thou sand pounds ; to his nephews, Captain Seymour of the navy, 10,0001. ; and to Horace Seymour and Colonel Hugh Seymour, 5,0001. each. To the Middlesex Hospital 1,0001. There are other considerable legacies to relatives and friends, and those to servants are numerous and large ; several of them are speci fied for 5001. each, besides handsome annuities. The residue is to be applied to the purchase of freehold estates, which are to descend, in the manner before stated, to the present Marquis and his heirs.—The will is dated July 28, 1820. IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO LANDLORDS AND TENANTS. In the month of September last, William Phillips, who rented of the Marquis of Anglesey a large farm at Charlton Horethorne, Somerset, drove and conveyed away nearly the whole of his stock and household goods, to prevent the Marquis from distraining them fo: a large arrear of rent.— On the 4th of July, William Dyke, of Sudden ; Henry Dyke, of Wincanton ; Charles Phillips, of Burton's Mill ; Thomas Dowding, of Cucklington ; and Nathaniel Morrish, of Stock, Dorset, were summoned to appear at Milborne Port, before the Rev. H. F. Yeatman and the Rev. J. Monkhouse, two Magistrates for Somerset, to answer informations which had been preferred against them by Mr. Castleman, the agent of the Marquis of Anglesey., for having fraudulently assisted Phillips in the removal and concealment of part of his stock and effects, contrary to the statute of George the Second. chap. 19. The Magistrates, after a patient and laborious in vestigation which lasted two days, convicted four of the of fenders in the following sums, being double the value of the goods so removed and concealed by them, viz. V Dyke, 341. 3s. 4d.; Henry Dyke, 761. 10s. 6d. ; Charles Phillips, 981. ; Nathanel Morrish, 381. 4s. 6d.: total, 2461. 18s. Od.— Thomas Dowding was acquitted, owing to the prosecutors not being able to prove that Phillips's goods found in Dowding's possession had been on the farm after the arrear of rent had be. come due. PO ETR Y. SONNET. By the late HENRY KIRKE WHITE. Poor little one ! most bitterly did pain, And life's worst ills, assail thine early age ; And, quickly tired with this rough pilgrimage, Thy wearied spirit did its heaven regain. Moaning, and sickly, on the lap of life Thou laidst thine aching head, and thou didst sigh A little while, ere to its kindred sky Thy soul return'd to taste no more of strife ! Thy lot was happy, little sojourner ! Thou hadst no mother to direct thy ways; And fortune frown'd most darkly on thy days, Short as they were. Now, far from the low stir Of this dim spot, in heaven thou dost repose, And look's; and smil'st on this world's transient woes. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHELTENHAM RACES, FRIDAY, JULY 19. (THIRD DAY.)

ENGLISH OPERA.-After the new dramatic sketch of The Actress of All-Turk, on Saturday, in which Miss CLARA FISHER displayed her very extraordinary talents before a very numerous au dience, and received well-merited applause, the interesting piece of Love's Dream followed, and was well supported by WRENCH, GROVE, WIL. KINSOIV, and Miss KELLY. The acting of the last was equal, considering the extent of the character, to any thing we have seen, and was very affecting. The Spoiled Child. again brought forth the little prodigy Miss FISHER. ADELPIII THEATRE.—Mr. ALEXANDRE, who has excited so much well merited applause by his extraordinary talents as a. Ventriloquist, closed his amusing, and we may add surprising, en tertainment, on Saturday last, before a very nu merous and elegant audience, who testified their warm approbation of the following speech which he delivered on the occasion : "LADIts AND GENTLEMEN—As this evening terminates for a short period my efforts to promote your amusement, I would fain express to you, however imperfectly, the grateful feel ings which your kind and generoui patronage inspired. I have often had occasion to lament my deficiency in the English lan guage, when striving to please you ; but how much more cause have I to lament it at the present moment, when my heart is swelling with emotions towards you, my kind and generous be nefactors, which; indeed, I cannot find words to express. Imagine all that the most ardent gratitude would say, and you will then do justice to my imperfect utterance of my own feel ings.—England has been justly styled the stranger's lkone ; I have found it so; I have found it too the liberal patron of a stranger's talent. The recollection of your past kindness will stimulate me to merit it in future, by every exertion of my abilities I can possibly make; and now, Ladies and Gentlemen, with sincere wishes for your health and happiness, I most re spectfully bid you farewell for the present season." The Rev. Samuel Lambert Noble, B.A. late of Queen's Co llege, Cambridge, has been instituted by the Honourable and Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, to the Rectory of. Frowlesworth, in the county of Leicestershire. VAUXHALL.--The following distinguished Fa shionables visited this elegant place of resort in the course of last week:— Lord Stanhope, Lord and Lady Darnley, Prince Ester.. hazy, Earl Sefton, Lord Fife, Marquis Graham, Earl and Countess of Blesington, Lord Henley and family, Lady Francis, Lord Petre, Lady Owen, Lady Darton, Lady Paxton, Lady SMith, Lady Burgess, Lady Otway, Sir James Drum mon d, Lord Ailesbury, Hon. C. W. Wynn, Lady Frederick Stan hope, Lady Louisa Call, Lord Hill, Lady Peters, Lord Vaughan, the Ladies Paget, &c. CIIE:LTENIIAM, JULY 19. Our Theatre is well attended, to the credit of the visitors, for we have really a more than usually respectable dra matic corps. On Tuesday last Venice Preserved was represented in a manner that. would have justly excited the applause of a London audience. ABBOTT was excellent in .Iqlfier, and CONNOR, who has not sufficient scope for his talents in London, was a spirited Pierre. Pow ELL, a re spectable actor, gave full weight to Renault, and Mrs. BARNES acquitted herself very well in Bel videra.—The Beggar's Opera too has been per formed with success. HUNT was so good a Macheath that we wonder he is not more encou raged on the London boards. Miss FORDE, who has brought a high musical reputation from Lon don, has fully supported it here by her perform ance of Polly. She was encored in " Cease your funning," and in the duet with Lucy, which was very well sustained by Airs. WouLns. But the Hibernian Syren, Miss FottnE, is a very spirited and intelligent actress, as well as a good singer, and is a great favourite. Mrs. IlAttr.owE, as might be expected, gave Mrs. Peachum with due spirit. CONNOR, who is admirable in Irishmen, was highly humorous as Dr. O'Toole, in a whim sical sketch,called New Lights,or The Irish Tutor. On Tuesday Cambridge-house, the town resi dence of her late MAJESTY, was sold at Garraway's, by order of her Majesty's executors. It is held by lease ibr 98 years, from Lady-day, 1741 ; of course, there are rather less than 17 years of the lease unexpired. It was stated that Lord Grosvenor, who is the ground landlord, was renewing the leases of houses:in the neighbourhood for 63 years, on reason able terms, and would probably renew the lease of Cambridge- House on the same ; but no undertaking on the subject was given, nor v:ere Lord Grosvenor's terms of renewal men tioned. It was also stated by the auctioneer that, a few years since, 12,0001. had been refused for the lease : the highest sum his utmost exertions was able to obtain on Tuesday was 5,850 guineas. The name of the person on whose account the purchase was made did not transpire in the room ; but there appeared to be no doubt that a bouu fide sale of the property was made. FATAL EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE DRINKING.— Two young men, in the parish of Kilmorack, Inverness-shire, having gone on Sunday week to a sequestrated place, where they had concealed smuggled whisky, drank of it to such excess, that they were unable to move from the spot ; and when found, one of them was dead ; the other, who was in a state of insen sibility, is recovering slowly, but his feelings cannot be very enviable, when he contemplates the horrible fate of his com panion. A similar case occurred in the parish of Dyke, on Sun day week. Two young men had been "on the ramble ;" one of them being overcome by the quantity of spirits he had taken, lay down in a corn-yard, where his comrade left him, and he was found dead by the people returnin g f rom c h ur ch in the afternoon.—( Edinburgh Courant, July 18.)

CORON E Ix QU EST.—Saturday \afternoon, Mr. SHE L - TON, the Coroner, and a very respectable Jury, assembled at the sign of the Crown in Kent-street, Southwark, to inquire into the cause of the death of a tine female child, named Elizabeth Jacobs, aged only two years and three months. Mrs. Hannah Gifford, residing at No. 6, Fisher's-buildings, Kent-street, deposed, that she gained her livelihood by nianu factoring fancy and ladies reticule baskets rand occasionally used oil of vitriol and indigo to c olo ur th e wicktr. On Tues day evening last, she being in ivant of such drugs, went to a chemist's to purchase sonic, having previously intrusted her little boy to the care of the deceased's mother whilst she was absent. After she had procured the compound, she returned to Mrs. Jacobs's house for her little boy and hap pened to lay the poison in a cup on the table, whilst she wrapped her child up in a shawl, and at that moment the deceased, who was standing near the table, thank about a tea-spoonful of the poison, and in an instant its mouth and lips were shockingly corroded. The mother of deceased took it up in her arms, and poured some cold water down its throat, and afterwards ran into the street, where she was met by a neighbour named Carpenter, who took the child from her, and ad ministered some antidotes,which caused excessive vomiting, and the ejected matter was of a blue colour. The deceased lingered in the most excruciating pain till the next night,when she died in convulsions. The Verdict was—" That the deceased's death was caused by accidentally drinking poison."—Both the Coroner and Jury deemed the conduct of Carpenter worthy of their praise and thanks. The Bill to prevent the cruel and improper treatment of cattle, passed into a law last Thursday by the House of Lords, enacts—That if any person shall wantonly and cruelly beat, abuse, or ill-treat, any horse, mare, gelding, mule, ass, ox, cow, heifer, steer, sheep, or other cattle, on complaint to a Magistrate, within whose jurisdiction such offence is com mitted, within ten days after, he shall forfeit from 51. to 10s. as the lowest penalty, and on non-payment be subject to be com mitted to the House of Correction for any time not exceeding three months.
