The French Papers of Friday announce officially the re-
capture of Tarifa by storm, on the afternoon of the 19th
inst. One Chief only of the Spanish Constitutionalist:, it
Is said, escaped, in a boat ; the rest were either killed or
taken, and we are told that the prisoners have been deli-
erred over to the vengeance of the Spanish Covernment.
If this intelligence he true to the letter, and we confess
we were from the fiat apprehensive that the desperate en-
terprise could have no other termination, it will be unlikely
that any other attempt will be made at present to disturb
the death-like slnwhas of Spanish liberty. Our private ac-
counts from that unhappy country,howevertare nut in accord-
ance with the recent newt; and, as we have the fullest reli-
ance on the authority from which our correspondent derives
information, We feel it our duty to call the particular at-
tent/on of our readers to the contents of the letter we received
from him I:.st night. Front h's statements it would seem
• that the French l'onstitutiona'. Torrijos, had pea-
sesxd himself of A lgesiras. and that the people have joined
him in great numbers. It further appears that he has a
sufficient bit rply of money, and that he distributed considet-
able !toms in the several districts through which he passed, a
eireuen•tanee which cannot fail to increase the number as
well as to ►trengthen the confidence of his partisans. On
this occasion we prefer giving the eonin 1111 l ieation in the
very words of cur correspondent, who obviously had writ-
ten and cent it off in haste :
•• (fie 'cure de Cadiz, du tt Aout, emits par un airier Frans/kis,
macaw, qua Tor, ijos s'eat empari ct Alg vitas, ct que bcaucoup do
monde s'est joint ti lui ; it parait, ajoire cette lettre, quo rarttent
no poi masque pas, car i 1 cn a repandue beauct up dans les lieu: an
al s passe pe qui don grown le nombre de see partisans."
We earr.estly hope that the present prospect of affairs in
Spain will revive the long-depressed spirit of national pa-
triotism, and lead to the ultimate establishment of liberal in-
stitutions, and to some salutary and settled system of civil go-
vernment. We have always insisted that the conflict with
derpotistn was far from being at an end in Spain, and
that that high-spirited people would strike a:tain for fret-
dune ; and we yet trust that they will show to the world
that they are not sunk into that stale of hopeless degrada-
tion in which by many they have beat invidiously &pro-
s:oiled. The mural and intellectual condition of nations is
too far advanced in Europe to give its oppressors any dunce
of establishing their military dominion either in peace or in
safety. The nttempt to do so, through any allimice of
Princes, holy or unholy, must lead eventually to their own
undoing. •1 him is a truth which they cannot he use soon
ought. s will yet probably affind an example of
this reaction. whiA, we hope, may serve as a warnieig to
prevent the n...;Tesity of any other.

The jest but dreadful vengeance inflicted by the Greeks
on the Turkish garrison of desolated Ipsara is now placed
beyond all (lonic It appears, as we before stated, that
the Greek flr. t defeated the armament of the Capitan
Pacha with ve:y great loss, immediately after the &sem-
bark:atoll of the Turks, and that, having driven the bar-
barians to take refuge at Mityleae, the Creeks returned,
and put to the sword all the Turks they found on the
island. We rejoice to learn that the bravery and de-
votedness of the Ipsariotes, women as well as men,
were of tl:c highest order, and that the abused lan-
guage we so often hear, of the readiness of men to
die in defence of their country, was not exaggerated by
these most gallant patriots. The most glorious days of an-
cient Greece seem to open afresh upon us, to gild with
unfading renown the struggle of the modern Hellenists for

freedom and einelependence. S.veral Ilydriote fire-ships
had sailed in quest of the Ottoman fleet. We shall look
with anxiety for the news of their success. Every Chris-
tian heart must beat strongly in their favour. We care
little about the Egyptian squadron, when the Capitan
Pacha shall be destroyed. We have always doubted the
sincerity of the intentions of the wily Viceroy, to waste his
strength in terminating a contest which it is rather his
interest to prolong. We know that the Paella of Egypt
has for some been taking those steps which clearly indicate
his intention to establish a sovereign dominion for himself
over the provinces he now governs. His time is hardly yet
tome toileclare himself, but be will, we are satisfied, take
good care to husband his means for own defence when cir-
cumstances shall render it prudent and necessary for him
to pat an cnd to the dubious 'policy he is now following.
Samos was still unsubdued ; and if the Ilydriote vessels
fall in with the Turkish fleet, its subjugation will not be
attempted. The Turks have already suffered severely ;
above sto,ono of their troops have been sacrificed to the'
manes of the massacred Greek Islaneltrs. Success has
raised the ardour of the Patriots to enthusiasm, and they'
fight like men to whom victory is assured by the promise
of !leaven. Another defeat will take from the Turks all
hope of again subduing any portion of the (;reek territory.
The expedition of the Capitan Paella was the Bernier effort
of the infidels. llenceforth they will be driven to defensive
minium, and they will deem themselves fortunate if the
inspired zeal of the Christians sutlers them to continue in
possesetion of an acre of the soil once commuted by the holy
influence of the triumphant cross.

The Water Cumpanies have, in an Evening Paper of
yesterday, published their defence against the animad-
versions we have felt it our duty to make on the ncgli•
gence and delay manifeateti in the supply of water on
several recent occasions of conflagration. In the first
place we arc told that our observations have been unjust,.
because they amount to "an attack upon the British
character generally, as if, in such a case of emergency,
there could be a hesitation to render that important assist-
ance which the Water Companies (whose directors are
known, and respected wherever known) have, more than
others, in their power to supply." Laying aside the cant
and absurdity about "the British character," which
might as well be pleaded by cviry other delinquent in his
vindication, we answer the rest of the paragraph by
referring to the facts to which we have lwfote ad-
verted. In the cases of emergency which have occurred,
" the important assistance which the Water Com-
panies have, more than other:, in their power to supply,"
has not been rendered. Why then are we asked, whether
we can believe they would hesitate to render it ? The pub-
lic knows that a'ter repeated warnings and admonitions the
Water Companies have col t:nued to negleef the furnish-
ing cf that early and abun lint s itply, by which we have

it in evidence, before the Police Magistrates, the destruc-
tion of several houses and much property might hive been
saved, to say nothing of the danger to which human life
has been thus wantonly exposed. To what purpose do-the
Water Companies ask us, " how can you suppose us
capable of this shameful and wielcd negligence ?" when
the fact of the negligence is notorious to all mankind ?
With regard to the allegations din the watchmen on the
premiges of these Companies3havc " directions to watch
ilia atmosphere, and whenever from appearances a fire is

supposed to have commenced, to call up the superintend-
ent, at whatever hour of the night," in order that
" the earliest assistance tnay be given," we answer
again by a fresh reference to facts. Whatever may
be the plans and arrangements of these Companies, the
" earliest assistance" is not given ; and we may perhaps
doubt whether these plan■ and arrangements ate of the
most excellent description, when we hear the tureen& of
the Lambeth Company stating, that he lives a mile and a
hall from the water-works, to which he must proceed and
awaken the engineer, before a drop of water can be had !
I Rut the Companies say that they are " accused as if
they had failed in some knouni and imperative duty."
This is certainly shifting their ground. Feeling it un-
stable beneath their fett, they have recourse to the
paltry plea, that the duty of supplying water in cases
of fire, is not " known and imperative." If it be
meant that the duty is not, according to the law
of the land, known and imperative, we must concede the
point, if that will avail them : but what shall we think of
the good feeling and moral sense of these Companies, when
in effect they tell us, that they arc not bound by the strict
letter of the law to give us water, and therefore that they
will patiently look on while our houses are burned to the
ground, and our families thrown into alarm and confusion?
We are next told that "it is unreasonable to suppose, that
water, which is necessarily supplied to parts of districts, at
stated is rinds, and with known intervals, should always
happen ;to be ready, although the fire should happen at

one of thou• intervals." This is another pitiful subterfuge.
Really tin se Water Companies must imagine that the pub-
lic are as weak in intellect as in resolution. It is not
expected that " water should always happen to be ready ;"
but it ilexpccted that such a system should be acted upon
by the Companies as will allow the earliest and fullest
supply when necessity requires it. The difficulty felt by
these persons, that their " duty is not known and impe-

native," may be racily Removed, as w•e trust it will, by an

enactment of the Legislature. Every public body, with
exclusive privileges, ought to be rendered in some shape
beneficial to society at large ; and as the Water Companies
resent as an imputation upon their patriotism, that they
should be suspected of nut sharing " in the general zealot'
Englishtnen" with relation to these too freeirently melancholy
accidents, there can Lc no °fejt ctien en their part to the
imposition of a "known and imperative duty" next
Session. We pass over the arguments founded on the
lowness bf the premiums of because, in answer
to them, and to all that can be a:tiel in defence of the
Water Companies, if a quarto volume were written, there
stand the incontrovertible facts, which no sophistry can
obliterate, that at all the recent fires in the metropolia, the
want of water has been a general matt,-r of bond coin-
punt ; and that in almost every instance the conflagration
ban extended much beyond the bounds within which it
anight have been confined, if water could, Well after the
discovery
,of the fire, have been obtained.

The following are extracts :
AMSTERDAM. AIM. 26.
Accordirg to the Recounts which we have r ecitted front Smyrna
and Constantinople, and also by way of Italy, no doubt remains of
the truth of the news communicated through us, of the destruction
.fall the Tusks who had landed at Ipsara.
1: appears from the reports, that the blowing up of the fort of Sit.
Nicola destroyed the stunt of the Turks who were about the fort ;
that the Greek fleet, of 64 sail, scat by the Government from Na-
poli di ltoritania to the aid of Ipsara, attacked the Turkish fleet,
and it Is positively stated the result was, that rib gun-boats, 8
doors, a corvette, and 3 frigates, were taken or Intent, or otherwise
destroyed ; that the (;omn•ander of the Turkish fleet, favoured by
the wind, fled u• blitylene; that on the subsequent landing of the
Greeks at Ipsara, all the Turkish garrison was put to the sword ;
so that the Greeks remained in posaession of the island.
The Greek fleet then sailed in search of the Capitan Paella. It
is further said, that the Greek:, had landed on the isle of Chios,
sad that all the Turks in the village of IVollina were killed. The
beaver, of the lien** of !pars is unparalleled; even the women
toot part in the combat, with the sante co mess and bravery. The
number of Turks who perished is estimated at 22,000. Accounts
art Impatiently expected of a second meeting with the remainder of
the Turkish fleet, which, it in notiloubtal, will be to the advantage
of the Greeks. The ardour with which they are inspired is a sure
protege to victory.
We learn from Caere that the report which had heen circulated,
that the Capitan Paths would go from Ipsara to attack Somas, was
a mere feint/ to deceive the fireekn; the Turks, proud of their tem-
porary PaCCOS had conceived a bolder plan, that of attempting the
conquest of the iniportant island of Hydra, which is the centre of
all the naval force of the Checks-However, the Capitan l'acha
being aware of the important means of defence which secures hy-
dra from a cony de main, and knowing that the troops which coin-
pose the garrison are all natives, Los shewn much hesitation in his
conduct, fur, at the departure of the last courier, who brought des.
Ipatches to the English Government in die lonian Islands, the Ot-
unison Admiral was still oil 3litylene, where he expected the
Egyptian squadron which was to leave Candies to join him. The
Turks haring massacted the traitors wile delivered up to them the
post which was confided to then in the Isle of Ipsara, will be a
g►eat obstacle to the success of the attempts which the agents of the
Capitan Parka may make to corrupt the Albanian Chiefs its the
•other islands of the Archipelago.

Mr. Abraham Monteflore, whose death we announced,
was the second son of the late Mr. Joseph Montetiore, of
Kennington, Surrey, an Italian merchant, who placed
I • out at an early period in the silk trade, as apprentice
to Mr. Prater, of Noble-street, Cheapside, with whom he
continued seven years. Leaving Mr. C'rater's he entered
into the silk trade on his own account, and married Mary,
the daughter of Mr. Q. flail, late of Russia-row, Milk-
street, by whom he has one daughter ; quitting the
silk trade he went abroad for some time, arid was at Wal-
cheren at the tune of the ill-fated expedition to that island ;
he afterwards married the sister of Mr. Rothschild, with
whose fortunes he identified his interest and became a lead-
ing operator in the funds, in which he has been 'eminently
successful, having acquired, as report states, about half a
million sterling. lie has left several children by his second
marriage.
II ASTI Non.—The workmen arc still busily employod at
the excavations in the Castle, and the success which has
hitherto attended them, will be an encouragement to them
to make further search. Within these few days they have
discovered the remain; of a stone coffin, in which three
bodies appear to have been deposited. The heads seem to
have been severed, and arc placed at the foot of the coffin,
which is harrow, and into which the bodies appear to have
been thrown with little ceremony. Conjecture will doubt-
less be busy as to what was the probable fate of these per-
sonages. The great size of all the bones discovered, seems
to maim the generally-entertained opinion, that we have
very much degenerated from the stature of our ancestors.
Th.. fineness of the weather, on Sunday, induced sfata
Bell anti his numero city to enjoy the rural scenes in
the vicinity of the in is, and the concourse assembled
at all the public tea-ga ens almost exceeded belief. The
stage coach-masters reaped a plentiful harvest, and as one
instance of the great profit accruing to them rsenerally,
Prince, the coach-proprietor at Peckham Rye, sent 117
persons to town be the hours of seven and ten last
night, exclusive of children; there are two other coach-
masters on the same ground, whose vehicles were tilled in
the same proportion. At Cumbtrland-gardins, a serious
commotion had nearly taken place ; unfortunately for the
proprietors, the bakers had only furnished WO rolls instead
of 900 as ordered ; consequently ut the brewd and littler
hour, there was a general outcry for more not rolls; the
waiters could furnish no more; the bar was beset by men,
women, and hungry children, and had it not been for a
timely supply of /nitrated new bread from the neighbouring
bakers, the castle would have been stormed, and the unfor-
tunate inmates, perhaps, have fallen a sacrifice to the
ravenous visitors. The whole of the establishment, con-
sisting of waiters, cooks, boots, and some acquaintance,' on
die spot. were put into immediate requisition, to carve bread
and butter for the half-famished crowd ; and at length,
Mr., Mrs., and all the Wile /tuna retired perfectly satiaffed.
Mr. Kean closes hiseagagement this evening, and takes
his benefit on Monday next. lie appeared in Lear on
Thursday night, and afforded one of those splendid ex-
hibitions of histrionic power which, save in himself,
we are sold happy enough to witness. Of the many
points which have lass' before remarked, we were struck
with the singolarly natural expression of the words, "
sin old now, and these same crosses spoil me," particular-
ly in the extraordinary contrast between that and the pre-
ceding passage—" I have seen the day, with my good bit-
ing faulehion, I would have made them skit." What-
ever may be said of the liberty taken with our great
Bard in the catasuophe, in favour of Ceralefia, the
well-merited reward of her filial piety is certainly a de-
lightful piece of poetical justice—nevertheless it is at a
t;rrat sacrifice—we should like to hear Mr. Kean in the
passages following her death in the original—
" !fowl, howl, howl, howl I. you are wen of stone," ke.
They are of that mixture of the• frantic and plaintive, in
the delineation of which he is so terribly faithful to nature.

General Slr James Stewart Denham, of Cohncsa, and

pleted his Midi year, between forty and fifty of the tenants
on his estates met in the inn at Overton, to testify the high

of their worthy and venerable landlord. Mr. Leighton,
the factor on the estate, was unat l i 11l ously called to the
chair; Mr. Calvin, of Camhusnetban, croupier ; and, after
an excellent thinner provided for the occasion, the healths
of the worthy Baronet and Lady Stewart were drank with
the most live ly and heartfidt pleasure. Many other appro-
priate toasts went round during the evening, which was
spent with the greatest harmony and conviviality. It was
