Advices have been received from Zante dated on' the 31st of July. They came by the stay of Marseilles, and their contents are not favourable to the cause of civilization, nor grateful to the feelings of those who dwell with delight on the recollections of ancient Grecian virtue. They represent the Turks to have scoured both sides of the Gulf of Lepanto, to have occupied Co rinth, and also to have re-taken Athens. From Corinth, they extended themselves to Napoli di Romania, the evacuation of which by the, Turks they.arrived in sufficient time to prevent..— This fortress had surrendered to the Greeks, to be delivered up on a fixed day, and the Turkish garrison, by the articles of ca pitulation, was to be transported to Asia in English or Austrian ships. To secure the safety of the garrison, the Greeks had sent hostages into the place, but as soon as the garrison saw that their own lives were safe, by the approach of their countrymen, these Grecian hostages were butchered. The accounts—to palliate this additional proof, if any were wanted, of Turkish civilization, state, that when . the Turks arrived before Athens, the Greeks in that place put all their prisoners to death. The Zante accounts also state that the combined Turkish and Egyptian fleets had been met on their way to Patras, and that the Greek ships had raised the blockade of that place. In all these operations the bravery of the Turks has been very distinguished, and the cowar dice of the Christian descendants of all that was once virtuous and great is represented as conspicuous in the extreme. A Ttirkish brig of 14 guns, when attacked by 3 Greek ships, stove in the sides and stern of one . of them by one broadside, and chased the .other two to a distance. These accounts come from high British authority, but are derived from our Turkish Allies, 'who, it is to be hoped, have painted to their friends the success of their arms with all the varnish of Eastern colouring. There are some contradictions, at least some events not easily to be reconciled, even in the account now transmitted by an Englishman. The Turks marched from Corinth to relieve Napoli di Romania, returned to Corinth, find ing their means not sufficient, got reinforcements there, and afterwards entered that fortress. All this must have taken some time, - yet the - total destruction of Grecian liberty is transmitted by one and the same letter. To, every civilized mind, to every friend of the human race, and to every man who desires the dissemination of knowledge and intelligence in the world, the success of the Turks over the Greeks must give the deepest pain. From their empire no knowledge can flow, and so long as it is permitted to continue, every vice must exist in the finest part of Europe. In vain will England have exalted the human race by putting down African slavery, for white slaves will be drawn from Europe by Asiatic barbarians, far more cruel than the transfer of savages from the burning sands of Nigritia, because their victims will be accomplished Christians.—(Morning Chronicle.) The following is an extract of a private letter from Venice :—" On the 25th ult. this city was visited with one of the most tremendous storms that we ever recollect to have heard of. The wind blew with an impetuosity impossible to be described. The howling of the tempest, the in. cessant streams of lightning, the prolonged rolling of the thunder, the crash of windows, chimnies, and tiles, carried terror into the most courageous hearts. The full consequences of this horrid affair are not yet known, but they must he dreadful. All the vessels at anchor in the canal suffered more or less ; three of them were sunk; the surface of it was covered with fragments of gondolas; the lead upon the churches and several edifices was torn up and carried to an immense distance. To all this scene of horror must be added the torrent of hail stones, the smallest of which were the size of a walnut, and many of them weighed from seven ounces to a pound. The number of persons killed is not exactly known ; but the -bodies of 137 have been taken up, who perished by the fall of hailstones, chimnies, Sec., or were suffocated by the wind." LAND IN AMERICA.—As a matter of curiosity to our readers, we . may mention, that 3,020 acres of land in the United States, situate on the Chippaway River, about nine miles from the River Mississippi, in Carver's Tract, below the Falls of St. Antony, above Birkbeck's settlement, in Moulson's Manor, where a - steam-boat passes every fortnight, was sold on Wednesday at Garraway's, by Mr. Mitchell, in two lots, at ls. pei acre. News was received about the let instant, at Nenvitas, Cuba, via Porto Rico, that General Qniroga was hourly expected from Spain with 3000 troops, and that he was appointed Cap tain-General of Cuba.—(Philadelphia Union.) On Tuesday, Mr. Au's, of Ayr, presented to The King, through the medium of the Right Honourable the Lord Justice Clerk, a splendid library chair, formed out of the remains of the oaken rafters of Kirk Alloway, which his Majesty was pleased to receive most graciously. The general design of this valuable chair is after the manner of the enriched Gothic. On the front part of the back are formed four com partments, terminating in pointed arches, and surrounded with appropriate carvings, executed in a style of uncommon boldness and beauty. In these are placed as many tablets of polished brass, having inscribed on them, at full length, the well-known humorous and highly descriptive tale of " Tam o'Shanter ;" while, on the other side, is a clever painting by Steven, an able Ayrshire artist, representing " heroic Tarn," mounted on his gray mardMeg, anddashingonward amidst the appalling horrors of the midnight storm— " Whiles haddin' fast his glide blue bonnet, " Whiles crooning o'er some auld Scots sonnet, " Whiles glowringroun' wi' prudent cares, " Lest bogies catch him unawares." Upon the whole, the gift which Mr. Auld has presented to roy alty reflects credit on the artists of the west; and we understand that his Majesty, out of respeCt for the genius of Burns, has given orders that particular care should be taken of this elegant relique of our national bard.--(Edinbnigh Paper.) SHEERNESS, SEPT. I.—Captain OwEN, of the Bellero phon, was placed on Thursday in the most imminent peril. A convict, newly brought here from Maidstone jail, stabbed him with a clasp knife-in the heart, just below the nipple. Provi dentially the knife struck against a rib, otherwise the wound must have nrovedimmediately fatal. The wound, as it was, hail the appearance of danger at first, but Capt. Owen is now considered free from it. "- SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Sunday night late, as Mr. .GREENscitor T was returning home from Croydon, accom panied by a Mr. GEORGE, where they had left a dinner party, they stopped to refresh the horse at a house at Kennington,and on starting again one of the reins got loose. The horse finding his head it liberty, ran away at full speed. Mr. GeOrge jumped from the chaise - and broke his right le just above the ancle. At length the chaise came in contact wits a garden waggon, and it was overturned with such velocity as to dash it in pieces. Mr. Greenscroft was picked up in a senseless state, and con veyed home to his lodgings in the Borough-road. His head was much cut and bruised, and lie remained in the same sense less stupor yesterday morning. CIIA lIGE OF MURDER.—Yesterday morning Elizabeth Jones, who stood charged with the wilful murder of her bastard child, was removed in a hackney-coach from her re sidence, No. 6, Drummond-street, Euston-square, in the cus tody of John Audley, beadle of the parish of St. Pancras, to Newgate for trial. The coach was followed through the streets by upwards of a thousand persons. Since the charge has been brought against her, she has been constantly guarded in her apartment up to the time of her removal for prison.—John Morrison, the reputed father, who also stood charged on the Coroner's warrant with being concerned in the said murder, has been already committed for the same. _ . On the 22.c1 ult. some malicious person or per sons inhumanly cut off the tail of a valuable mulch cow, in a field belonKing to Mr. William Dixon, at Romanby, near North Allerton. - - • THE KING.

Lonos,—l have had the honour of receiving the King's commands to signify to your Lordships his Majesty's unquali fied approbation of all the arrangements which have been made preparatory to his Majesty's reception, and during his stay in Scotland.

It being the first Sunday in the month, the Mayor and Corpora tion attended in their robes—A numerous assemblage of the neighbouring Nobility, Gentry, &c., were collected on the Terrace in the evening.

Lyford, Es q. recently elected an Alderman, and Mr. John Blake, deceased. A Gentleman, travelling in'a stage coach, had been greatly annoyed by the grimaces of a - puppyish dandy..._ The dandy made one o his low ,jokes, and accompanied it, as usual, with his own loud laugh ; instead of joining in which, his fellow-traveler very leisurely took a pinch of snuff., when the. dandy exclaimed " Law ! Sir, do you take snuff ?" The Gen.. tleman very composedly, and in a certain tone of voice, replied (offering ins bOx at the same tinie) " Yes—blackguard," POETRY, LINES, Occasioned bll the melancholii Death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. When the patriot in battle Lila wounded and gory, HIS country prepareS him the meed of applause, And e'en though defeat may have tarnish'd her glory, She honours the hero who died in her cause. And shall she not honour the bold, dauntless spirit • Which devoted its being to toils of the State ? Though less brilliant the deed, not less ster l ing the merit : Though less obvious the peril, as dreadful the fate. In the tumult of battle, by glory excited, • The Soldier triumphantly welcomes his doom; But the Statesman, his mind overburthen'd and blighted, In lingering misery sinks to the tomb. O Stewart ! thy life was for Britain expended : Let Britain in gratitude honour thy name ! That name, with her story eternally blended—. Her story of danger, of conquest, and fame ! Yes ! what though his close of existence was shaded By a woe which e'en friendship remembers with fear; Though the pride of his genius was wither'd and faded, That genius shall ever to Britain be dear. All say ! can her praises or tears be denied him Whose love for his country ttas seal'd with his blood, Who exhausted the mind with which Heaven supplied him, In the cares and the toils he endtired for her good ? Oh no ! By the perils in which he first found us, By the firmness with which he those perils o'ercame, By the peace which he gave to the nations around us, Be honour'd his menfry ! unsallied his fame And ye who opposed, and who hated him living, Insult not a deed by insanity bred : Oh let not your rancour, its object surviving, Excite you ignobly to war with the dead. Though you freely may judge his career' on this earth, Let a merciful Heaven decide on its close. Oh honour his virtues—remember his worth— . Forget all his errors, and weep o'er his woes ! PRESTON GUILD.—The following is a pro gramme of the amusements to be provided at this ancient and splendid festival : On Monday, Sept. 2, a procession of the Mayor, Corporation, Gentlemen, Companies, and Societies, will move from the Town Hall to the Parish Church at half-past ten ; after divine service, the procession will return, by a circuitous route, to the Town Hall.—ln the evening there will be a ball.

BARTHOLOMEW Fain.—This day, between 1.1 and 12 o'clock, the Loun May OR, accompanied by the Sheriff's, City Marshals, and other City Officers, proceeded in grand state to Smithfield, and there, ' according to the usual man ner, proclaimed Bartholomew fair, and open the Court of Pied Poudre, at the Hand-and-Shears, in Cloth-fair...— This Fair was granted in the reign of Henry IL, to the Priory of St. Bartholomew, for ..three days, to which the clothiers of England and • drapers of London repaired, and had their booths in the church-yard of the Priory, closed in with walls and gates, locked every.night, and watched. Smith field was lriginally called Ruffians' Hall, being the rendezvous of ruffians and quarrellers, when swords and bucklers were used, and was a place fir honourable exercises and jousts, so that loose serving -men commonly met there. The Fair was at length prolonged to a fortnight, and became of little other use than for idle and loose people to resort to, and spend their money in debauchery and iirunkenness. In 1708, the Magi strates reduced the Fair to• 3 days, according to whicirit was first granted. A cause was tried in the Court of King's Bench, Guildhall, before Justice Ryder, upon an action brought by Mr. Richard Holland, a . leatherseller, in Newgate-street, against the collection of the tolls during the Fair ; a verdict was given in favour of Mr. Holland, in fifteen issues, with costs of suit, by which determination all citizens of London are exempt from paying toll. The Priory of St. Bartholomew was founded in 1102,• by 'One. Rahere, who was jester to Henry the First; Ra here, quitting his profligate life, became the first Prior of his own foundation. Legend relates that he had a most horrible dream, out of which he was relieved by St. Bartholomew him self, who directed him to found the house, and to dedicate it to him. • HOLYWELL-STREET.--T his .street,' which was formerly a place of great business, is now so . overwhelmed with Jews, who sit on the pavement. and annoy: passengers so much by smoaking and insolent language, that . its trade has latterly . fallen off very much. ..The Jew-boys, in parti cular, are constantly guilty of the most offensive wantonness to all but their Girgashite gang. ROCHESTER RA CES. —The attempt to esta blish these races, which took place on Thursday and Fri day last, was successful beyond expectation, and little doubt was entertained of their permanent establishment. The influx of company was prodigious, and highly respectable. A great many capital horses were entered, and afforded excellent sport in a number of well-contested matches. The ground, considered both with referenCe. to its convenience for' racing; and the beauty of the surrounding prospect., is un equalled by any race-course in the kingdom. Excellent public dinners were provided on the occasion, and the whole went off with the greatest spirit. Our worthy Member for the County, Mr. Honxwood, acted as one of the Stewards. SIR WILLIAM HERSCHELL.—TtiIs venerable and distinguished Gentleman, whose death we yes 7 terday announced, will be immortal in the annals of sublime science. As an astronomer he was surpassed by no one of the present age ; and the depth of his scientific research, and extent of his heavenly observation, rendered him perhaps second only to the transcendently great and immortal Newton. To the wonderful Tele scope of his invention the world of science is more indebted for important and, gratifying dis coveries in regard to planetarY-,objects than to any other instrument ever produced by 'human genius; whilst his diseOverY of the' remotest of all the planets (named by, him the Georgium Sidus, in honour of the. late KING), would of itself be sufficient to give 'proud immortality to 'his great a - na 'venerated nathe, . . 1 - ,;•,-, A~ ' 47 -11 '. - _, - '' 7 11 0 1 l '‘-i ' \':- \‘, --- s --- °----- : ----,':4'.

I.—During the late gale on the night of the 28th ult., the brig Cepheus, belonging to Sunder land, J: HANSON, Master, coal laden, bound to Little Hamp ton,. was. driven on shore and tot a lly wrecked, opposite No. 3, Battery, West Bay, Dungeness ; the wind was blowing strong from the S.W. and a tremendous sea running, which made clear breaches over her. The situation of the crew was most perilous, as a surf which rendered landing almost impossible seemed to repulse the only hope the wretched sufferers could cherish. In this extremity they were ob served by the sailors doing duty on this coast in the blockade service, who soon collected, and under the able directions o f Lieut. Wheeler and Mr. M‘Tavish, succeeded in overcoming every difficulty, and with that noble intrepidity and manly exertion which need but to be called for to be displayed, res cued the wretched sufferers from an untimely grave. They were all comfortably lodged for the night in the quarters of the Officers above-mentioned, to whom every acknowledgment of gratitude and thanks is due for the ready assistance ailbrded, and their kind attentions to the unfortunates. WHALE FISHERY. The Alpheus ' Duncan, has arrived at Peterhead f r om Davis' Straits, with 150 tons of ;oil, the produce of 10 whales. She fished to the S.W., and caught her last fish on the 10th June, from which time till the 6th of last month, when she left the ice, the weather was very thick. She brings the following ac count of the fishery :—Peterhead Ships—Hannibal, 4 fish ; • Invincible, 5; Resolution, 1; Superior, 5; and Traveller, 2. Leith Ships—Horn Castle, 1 ; North Pole, 2; and Rattler, 2. Montrose Ships—Eliza Luar, 7 ; London, 5 ; and Monarch, 3. Earl Percy of Kirkaldy, 3 ; Alexander of Aberdeen, 4 ; James of Whitby, 4. Hull Ships—Abraham, 2; Mary Francis, 1 ; Progress, 1; William, 2. Newcastle Ships—British Queen, 5 ; Cove, 4 ; Lady Jane, 5 ; Eliza, 1. The . Alert, Penny, from Greenland, is also arrived at Peter head, with 60 tuns of oil from five fish: she brings the fol lowing intelligence :—Peterhead Ships—Dexterity, 5 fish ; Eclipse, 1; Gleaner, 5 ; Hope, 4 ; Jean, 3 ; Miry, 1; Per severance, 4 ; Union, 5. Aberdeen Ships—Dee, 6or 7; Hen. rietta, 4 ; Jane, 7 or 8 ; and John of Greenock, 134, LAMENTABLE SPORT.—Charles the .Sixth of France gave a masquerade, in which himself and Give courtiers played the part of satyrs ; to resemble which, they Were clothed in close linen habits, besmeared with rosin, - and then - stuck with down all over. One of the company in a frolic touched one of these satyrs with a lighted torch as they were dancing in a ring. The consequence Was, that all the six masks, or satyrs, were instantly enveloped in flames . ; four of the six ware burnt to death on the spot ; and the hint never recovered the fright and disorder occasioned by the accident. .OPULENT LANDLORDS.—.B short lime since a gentleman of this description called on a farmer, who was deep in arrears to him for rent; and entering into familiar conversation with him, inquired whether it was convenient for him to do any thing in way of payment ? The farmer replied that he was pennyless ; and further, that he saw no prospect of being able to pay any part of the debt ; . hut added, that he would willingly give up all his stock on the land, • and every thing he was possessed of, in order for payment to be made as far as that would go. His landlord said, he would hear of no such thing ; but added, " You shall remain on the estate.—l will abate you 2001. per ann. of your ren tin future; and I will entirely exonerate you from all liability to pay what is already due !" The abounding generosity of this noble act will be still further manifest, when .it is known that these arrears athounted to 1700/. ! —The tenant, it seems, partook of the same feeling as his landlord ;- for, on a butcher, who had been in the habit of purchasing, &c. of him, recently going to pay him for; a bargain, and urging the liberality of his landlord as a reason for having a little compassion on him, the farmer readily made himan abatement of 10s. per head.—These circumstances took place within a few miles of Bath. DRAWING INFERENCES.—TWO eleriml gentle men having called on a reverend brother in the country at rather an early hour in the morning, found the minister in 66d, so were ushered• into the garden to look about them till his - reverence could get him.-.elf in a condition to receive them. Finctirg 'John, the minister's man,' busy at work, one of them entered into a familiar conversation with this lesser' prop of the chitrch, and amongst other things inquired, " Weel, John, hoWlong ha'e ye been wi' the minister ?" "Indeed," quo' John, " I ha'e been twa-score years, Sir." "Aye, twa-score years !'then y'ell be able to preach yoursel' by this time, John ?'t 'C I Na na, Sir," replied honest John, " I canna pre ac h, b u ; I 'firma think but 1 could draw a few inferences."%Wel, John," continued his interrogator, " what inference' Would ye draw frae that portion o' Scripture which says, the ass snuffed' up the east wind."! " lf.l were to draw any,", teplid the mi nister's man, shaking his head slowly and. significantly, " it would be, that he would snuff lang at it ere - he would get fat on't." BARNSLEY NEW Cii4P-;On Tuesday last, the new chapel at Barnsley, to which Lord FITZWILLIAM so largely contributed,: was - opened for public service. The sol e mn high mass was performed by the Rev. F. TRA'F.I 4 B; assisted by the Rev. CHARLES LEFEBVRE, and the Rev. MICHAEL TR.i . kPl'S. The prayers and sermon : were given by th e Rev. B. RAYMENT, froM Geneeis, xxviii. • 17,. and in so impressive a manner as to arrest the attention. of a nu merous, and respectable audienee. What added not a little to the solemnity of the ceremony was, the numbei,,of I;:iests whoattended within the sanctuary, in their surplices•and stoles. A very handsome collection was made after the. Gospel for the benefit•of the establishment, both in the gallery and hi the body of the chapel. From the 9th to the 27th ult. inclusiVe, there were in all 13,192 passengers conveyed in the Forthalid Glide canal platage boats. —During the corresponding days of the lastyear . -5;p92 were conveyed, so that seven thousand five hundred May be con sidered travellers occasioned by the King's visit. The number who went altogether, by the coaches forthe same periothnay be calculated at two thousand five hundred ; but two-thirds of then may be considered ordinary passengers ; so that the extra num ber would be about. one thoneand. 'lt is probable that about one thousand went in post chaises ; perhaps an equal number in noddies ; and as many more in gigs and on horseback. The total of these, added to the - total by the canal, amounts to nearly 12,0001. -- This, however, is not for Glasgow alone, but for the country, also to the west aid north to which it is a thoroughfare. To this must be added ihe persons who walked and went in carts or waggons but the humber of these would not be very great. Supposing each individual on an average to spend 51. the expenditure would probablsr be be tween 65,000/. and 70,000/. THE LATE ACCIDENT AT DARNAt.— conse quence of the many incorrect riimours which have been circu lated about the accident at Darnal; we have endeavourectto gain as correct a statement concerning it as we possibly ;cold. It appears that two men had each A'leg broken, two !els receiv ed an injury on the hand, a Irian had his collar-bone broken, a woman had both her collar bones broken, a man had his right NI a good deal „lacerated,. and , 16 were otherwise bruised and injured by the downfall of the planks. Twenty-lireeynineteen males and four females, were taken to the Infirmary ; seventeen were admitted into the house, some of whom were able tO return home ontlce following day. Six were 'made out-patients, after being dressed, &c. We have authority for stating that the se verest .cases are all going on favourably:-4Shefierd hec. pendent.)
