COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

The melo-drama of Robinson Crusoe was revived
here last night for the gratification of the holyday
folks. It has undergone no change since its last ap-
pearance, excepting the introduction of some good
scenery by Grieve, and the addition of a very merito-
rious Newfoundland dog to the drainatis persona,.
`The only fault that we have to allege against the
drama is, that it hears too little resemblance to the
novel, and the latter holds so sacred a place in one's
recollection, that any deviation from it looks like a
heresy. The parts were all very creditably filled.
Mr. Farley, the chief end of whose being seems
to be that he should act the heroes of melo-
drame, was perfectly at ' home in his old ac-
customed goatskins. The younger Grimaldi did
Friday almost as well as his father could ; and the
Newfoundland dog barked and acted in a way that
might make many a Christian player blush and wish
himself a dog. The underlings indulged to the ut-
most in the privilege which the holydays and their
parts gave them, of discharging their small arms, and
after a running fire had been kept up through every
scene, the catastrophe was brought about (for the pecu •
liar amusement of the lovers of noise and smoke) by
a broadside from the ship, which was so cleverly di-
rected as to blow away rocks and forests, and make a
clearancy to the very shore ! It is not, perhaps, the
most intellectual exhibition that was ever beheld; but
after seeing Julius (Cesar, with Mr. garde as Bru-
tus, and Mr.' Cooper as Cassius, there is marvellous
comfort,in a melo-drama wbich contains nothing more
offensive and tiresome than negroes and gunpowder.

APOLLONICON.

-
The Concerts on this delightful instrument drew,
on Saturday, a crowded and fashionable audience, and
the selection, which comprised some of the first com-
positions, was judiciously made. Several of the pieces
were encored, particularly the overture to Der Freis-
chutz, which is performed by the mechanical powers of
the instrument with a precision and delicacy never
surpassed—and the popular ballad of « I've been
roaming."--(Hoar;.)

FALL OF MISSOLONGIIL

Accounts have been received this morning at the
Colonial Office from Major-General the Honourable
FREDERICK PONSONBY, Lord High Commissioner
pro tempore of the lonian Isles, which announce,
that the fortress of Missolonghi was carried by assault,
on the night of the 22d and 23d ult. It ap-
pears that on the 2d ultimo, the Turkish
Commanders offered terms to the Inhabitants, which
engaged for the safety of their lives on surrendering
the town ;. but these offers were peremptorily rejected.
The Greek fleet under .MlAta Is having failed in itti
attempt to throw supplies into tne town, and the in-
habitants being reduced to the utmost distress for
the want of provisions ; the garrison resolved
upon attempting to retire, and for that pur-
pose made a sortie with a force of 800 men, under
two of their most enterprizing Chieftains, who were to
direct their efforts against a battery on the waterside,
and by that means to open a way for the rust
of the inhabitants. This movement, however, had
been foreseen by the Turks, and so tremend-
ous a fire was directed against the assailants, that
they soon fell into confusion, and fled in all direc-
tions to the mountains for shelter. The alarm created
by the repulse of this advanced body was quickly com-
municated to those who succeeded ; they abandoned the
positions which they had hitherto occupied, and threw
themselves, in small bodies, into such defensible posts
as the neighbourhood of the town presented. The
Turks, in the mean time, availed themselves of the confu-
sion into which the besiebeied were thrown by this
failure, and carried by assault the fortifications, which
in many parts were left without defence. The town
was set fire to in several places, and instant measures
were taken for subduing the inhabitants, which, in the
course of the night, were completely effected. The
Greeks seem to have fought with a degree of obsti-
nacy which might have been expected from the re-
solution with which they have hitherto defended
[the place ; for, although upwards of three thousand
are reported to have fallen in the town, and in the
neighbourhood of the mountains, only 150 are said
to have been taken alive. Of the women and
children a considerable number are stated to have
destroyed themselves', or to have been drowned
in the ditches adjoining to the, town ; but upwards
of 3000 prisoners are said to have been captured
by the Turks. It does not appear that IBn HIM
PACIIA was wounded in this assault, as various
reports have for some time announced.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—,(Tits DAY.)

Morris John Me&nos, a horse-doetor, was opposed by
Mr. Titterton, a eoachinaker, for a debt of .50/.
Mr. Titterton said, that the insolvent had bought of him, on
the 18th of March last, a chaise for 50/., which be sold on the
29th, and that the insolvent had given him a bill for 451. two
days previously, and absconded in the' beginning 'of April ; and
on the 12th of the same month he rendered to several actions,
to which he had put in bail previous to his purchase of the chaise,
from which it was evident he had contracted the debt in question,
without any prospect of being able to pay it.
The insolvent being questioned respecting the disposal of his
property and his prospects, said, that he had received 50!. for the
chaise and other articles, which he satisfactorily accounted for;
and that the actions brought against him were on account of bills
which he had signed to accommodate others, and which he did
not think he should be hound to pay.

The opponent then called John Hicks, who deposed that be
had been bail for the insolvent in two of the actions, but that he
had no knowledge of the state of his affairs. After the insolvent
had rendered, be heard him say, that if he knew it would come to
that, be should be in for more.

The opponent submitted, under all these circumstances, that
the insolvent wu not entitled to the benefit of the Act, as he
knew when he had purchased the chaise of him that he could not
pay for it.
The Cuter Cason:mottle said, that as it appeared that the
insolvent had disposed of considerable property previous to hitt
committal, the Court would require a more satisfactory-account
of all the transactions he had been engaged in for six weeks before
his insolvency, and for that purpose be would re►nand him until

palace. In the girdles of several Harnmals put to death,
were found diamonds and considerable sums of money.--
The Khandjar of the Grand Vizier, his snuff box, and a
'quantity ,of jewels, have been found on the Hammals
,of
Galata and Constantinople. Such of them as had not
deserved death have been banished to Asia, in order that
they might return. The number of these exiles is so great,
that. the person at the camp of the Grand Vizier, who
gives the passports, makes one serve for all those who
belong to the same district. The women, who were living at
Eski-Seraglio, have been moved to Tchift Seraglio-lar, a
palace situated in the quarter Kodja-Pacha, near the glue.
Eski-Seraglio is known under the name of Nizam Kapoussi
(hotel, or barrack of the regular troops). It is to be converted
into a place for exercising the troops. The executions
and the banishments continue with the same rigour; acrd
the Government, in order to render all these rigoroni
measures legal, proceeds in the following manner
Cheikhulislam, assisted by the two Cadhis-Askers
power, and eight old Cadhis-Askers of Romelia and MM.
tolls, form the supreme tribtmal which decides on the Fite

their confession, the sentence is pronounced byllo grand
Judges, and confirmed by the Mufti, on their collective
report. Death, exile, or freedom, follows immediately.
It is said that on the following Sunday an Austrian
subject (M. Marenovich) repaired to Constantinople with
a Consul, who is a Jew, to examine the site of the business
of the 15th. They excited some suspicions, were arrested!,
and carried before the Aga Pacha Seraskier, as Engli.4
spies. The animosity against the latter is generaL—
Kutchnk Mehemmed. Paella has returned to his head-
quarters in Asia. Aga Pacha was informed, on Wednes-
day the 14th, of the intended insurrection, by tEe penPle
of the palace, who had been invited to join it. Their re-
usal to enter into the conspiracy was repeated, three times.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY—(Txts DAY.)
ATTORNIV-GENIMAL V. SKINNS,RS' COMPANY.
His Lordship stated, that since he had been in Court
he had looked with great care and attention into all the
cases that appeared to him to bear upon the points in
this case. This case was a demand made by the Attorney-
General on behalf of the charity called the Tunbridge
School; and the Court would likewise take it as a de-
mand on behalf of several other charitable institutions
mentioned in an instrument called the bill of Sir
Judd ; and two questions arose in argument, which had
been very fully and very ably argued. The first question
was, whether the gift of the residue was what the Skin-
ners' Company were themselves entitled to the benefit of,
or whether it was to go to the charities ? Upon this the
Court had formed an opinion, which, with the reasons for
coming to that opinion, his Lordship will state in a few
days. The ether pint was, supposing the Skinners'
Company were not in circumstances in which they could
be called upon to divest themselves of the whole of the
property, whether there ought.tb be a distribution between
them and the charities? With respect to this question,
the Court had not been able to come to a satisfactory con-
clusion„ and therefore his Lordship would have to occupy
a short time longer, to pursue his cogitations thereon ; the
reult of N‘hich) he will let the parties know as early as pos-
sible.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.--(Tnis DAY).
This being the htst Seal Day the Court was occupied all the
morning in disposing of motions, which were attended with no
possible interest.

A Wiltshiee magistrate of the name of Long has
had a narrow escape from the honours of parentage,
owing to a deep attachment which a broad-faced dam-
sel had conceived for his worship, while transacting
some justice business for her about seven months pre-
vious.

GREEK PIRACIES.

The following is an Extract of a Letter from Malta,
dated the 26th of June Business is nearly at a
stand, and the constant piracies committed by the
Greeks will soon put an end to all trade with the
Levant. The Sybelle frigate arrived on Saturday,
with about 50 men killed and wounded, two Lieute-
nants among the latter, in attacking a band of pirates
near Candia.

An overland dispatch has been received from India,
bringing accounts from Calcutta as late as the Bth

they were of more than ordinary importance.
Another Cabinet Council is to be held this after-

THE MARKETS.

CORN-EXCHANGE.—(Tnts DaY).
The arrivals of last week were moderato, and this morning the
fresh supply of all descriptions of Grain is small. Prime Wheat
being scarce, and much wanted by the millers, has obtained an
advance of 2s, per quartet ou the terms of tie day se'unight,
but inferior sorts are very dull. Barley remains much the same
as last quoted. Beans are dull at last quotations. Boiling Pease
have further advanced full be. per quarter, the crop being very
deficient. Grey Peas* are very scarce. Oats are held at higher
prices, with little doing, as our buyers appear very reluctant to
comply with advanced terms. In the Flour trade there as no
alteration.

Alderman, that since he had been put into the Office cage, he had
changed dress with some of the prisoners. He now appeared in
a middling decent black coat and waistcoat, whereas it was a
washed white fustian,jacket he was brought from the Compter in.
The Prisoner, audaciously.—You lie ! My father brought the
coast and waistcoat to me.

The Magistrate inquired bow the father had gained access to
him, when the officers accounted fur it by saying, the screen be-
fore the iron bars had been left open for the admission of air, the
sage being much crowded.
The Prosecutor.—Never mind the dress: he cannot change his
face, and I will swear to that' positively.
The Prisoner, ferociously, extending his arm towards him.—
No, I can't ; but bl—st you, you'd swear to every face in Lon-
don, to answer your purpose.
The previous depositions against his confederates having been
read, and those now taken against himself, he was asked what he
had to say in his defence, when, carelessly twitching the fur from
a foraging cap he held, he said, he could prove be was at home ii
and in bed at the time of the robbery.
Alderman SMITII said, he might endeavour to prove that at the
Sessions, where he was. bound to send hint far trial.
The officers had nearly passed him to the door of the office, to
be re-locked up, when be made a sudden attempt to reach the
prosecutor ; but being intercepted, he held his clenched fist to-
wards him, while he muttered between his gnashing teeth—
" 81--st you, if I could get at you, I'd spoil your swearing again."

Haiti of the first marriage (which took place in Ireland), on the
ground that the defendant was under age at the time he contract-
ed that marriage, and that it was solemnized without the assent
of his father. The question arose on the construction of the Irish
marriage Act, 9 Gen. 11. chap. 11, which requires the assent of
parents to the marriage of an infant ; but by that Act, a marriage
so contracted without consent of parents, must be avoided within
a twelyemonth afterwards, otherwise it is good. Here the de-
l'rtdant bad acknowkdged his first wife long since this marriage
was solemnised, and had lived with her after the expiration of
twelve months. The case was reserved for the opinion of the

twelve Judges.
Mr. Justice HOLILOYD delivered the opinion of the twelve
Judges to be, that the first marriage was good, not having been
avoided within twelve months after solemnization.
The defendant was then asked what he had to say why he should
not receive judgment of death? He said nothing, but on his
knees prayed the benefit of the statute making the offence clergy-
able.
. Mr. Justice Hotnovn then told the prisoner, that considering
all the particular circumstances of his case, which was, as he un-
derstood, attended with great aggravation, his learned brother
(Graham) thought the proper sentence to be pronounced was, that
the prisoner should be transported for seven years,
The prisoner, who was a young man of gentlemanly appear-
ance, bowed to the Court, and was taken front the bar. He had
I been known by the name of Capt. Hamilton, and was supposed to
have been successful in his matrimonial speculation S.—having mar-
ried more than two wives.

wounded by.a spring gun, while trespassing in one of the Earl of
Home's plantations. The circumstance under which this poor
fellow met his untimely death .created a great sensation, in the
neighbourhood, and it is believed that the fire was raised by some

had met his death...7-Eglinbur Star. •

A remarkable, feature of the present money-market is
the small amount of commercial bills in circulation, which
is supposed to be lower now than it has been at any pe-
riod during the last forty years. This is probably one
cause of the great influx of money into the market for
fundedpropertyTo commercial men, whose object it is
to have their means constantly at command, no channel
for the employment of money is so eligible as that of dis-
counting good bills, as it secures the principal, and they
may almost always be converted into money at a moment's
notice. That resource failing, however, they are neema.
rily driven to investments in Exchequer Bills, or funded
property of different descriptions. Numerous purchases
from this Cause seem to have been made in the latter part
of last week, and .this sort of extraneous 'demand occurring

into the town of Uxbridge, and, with the dogs close at his haunches,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

PELLOWZ LARD CIWYDYIR AND. PAUL

Sir,—l have observed in some of the public papers a letter from
Mr. Samuel Page, on the subject of the late decision of his
Honour, the Vice Chancellor, in my favour.
No man of common understanding would expect me to enter
into a discussion on the subject after such a Decree, and I shall
decline making any observation after this letter, I only beg the
faVour of you to insert the subjoined.statement, taken from one
made by Mr. Samuel Page in the year 1820 (all in his own
band-writing►), by desire of the late Lord Gwydyr, which unfor-
tunately was mislaid at the time that I instituted the suit, or it
would have been given in evidence. How Mr. Page can recon-
cile his public declaration that he was deceived as to the value of
the materials with the taliluette that he made in that year, I leave
the public to judge.

USEFUL INVENTION TO SEAFARING MEN

A boat has been construeted---.at South Shields, by James Nattier,
Esq. of that place, to be carried by a vessel, possessing the advan-
tage of both a long tun' a life boat. It has, been tried, and found
to weigh an anchor, carry weight, &e. superior to an ordinary long
boat; and as *life boat, though it should ship a ilea and 611 will;
water, it is capable of bearing 'a crew more numerous than thi
vessel of which it is now' on board. This was known .by filling
it with water, after which it auppurted,ivithout sinking, nearly
one ton weight. A short time ago it .was, with an adventuroui
crew, placed on Tynemouth bar, when a six-foot sea was breaking
across it, aml thoughit was put into every hazardous position, there
wasfound no occasion tubed it. To complete this.boat there has been
added to it a 4f launching frame," to enable the crew safely to place it in
the water during a high sea,. which will completely prevent it front
getting Stove, as is unfortunately but too common in cases of emer4
gency. On the 22t1 ult.. it was fixed in her station on board the
Mary, when the inventor, unaided, launched it from the decks,
with four of the crew on board, to the astonishment of a Dumber
of spectators, in little more than one minute. Every sestruM
will be able to appreciate the advantage of, this discovery. With
ail these advantage.sthis boat has only cost 6/. inure than an ordir
nary long boat of her size. The vessel has nowrsailed, and the
crew are in high spirits with their acquisition. We understand
,the inventor tntenda ,ahattly, tolay:Alle plan •of hGthheat na
to
launching-frame before the public, .i* shape that; it, likely
, facilitate their general adoption.

CORK, Jutor 28.
Patrick &ninon, a lad about 18 years of age, wu indicted for
having reaivexi stolen goods—namely, four butter firkins, the
property of Messrs Last y, of Cork. The prosecutors were per-.
sons extensively engaged in trade. The prisoner was in their em-
ployment. It was found that upwards of SOO butter firkins were
taken out of the stores.

Daniel Lane.—. Witness knows the prisoner at the bar. Wit-
ness and the prisoner were in the en ploymeos of Messrs. Leatry.
The prisoner proposed to witness to let him have some butter fir-
kins, which he observed might be easily sold,
and they could settle
as to the money. Witness was at length, after much pressing, I"E'

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

His Majesty's ship Java sailed from Plymouth, for India, on the
2d inst. His Majesty's ship Warspite, bearing the flag of Rear-
Admiral Gage, Commander-in-Chief of his Majesty'. ships in the
East Indies, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, on her way to
India, on the 23d of May, after having been becalmed off the
Cape for five days. The Warspite would probably have reached
the Cape a fortnight before, had she not been detained by the
Volage, which proved a very bad sailer. The two ships, how-
ever, parted company in a squall on the 16th of May. These
letters were brought home by the Honourable Company'. ship Sir
Francis Drake. The officers and crew of the Warspite had been
quite healthy since her departure from Toner&

PEDESTRIANISM.

The race of ten miles, between Janice Beddoe (a person of more
speed than the Yorkshire Beddoe) and Capt. Pearson, took place on
Wednesday morning over Marston Moor, near Hatfield : the ground
chosen was a circle of one mile; and though the Captain was
allowed half a mile, the match was won very cleverly by Beddoe.

veiled upon to give over to the prisoner slnumber of the butter fir-
kin', and witness accordingly left the firkins in a certain place,
for the prisoner, as it was previously arranged between them.
(Here four firkins were produced by a woman, to whom they were
sold by the prisoner ; but the clerk to Messrs. Leatry was not able
to identify the firkins.) They were like those in the stores, but
it was, he conceived, impossible to swear to them.
Daniel Lane, cross-examined by Mr. Howmto —How long
have you been robbing your master ?----Not long.
Have you not been robbing him these six months ?--.No, in-
deed you wrong me.
How long have you been robbing him ?—I have only been rob-
bing him for one month.—(A laugh.) i
How long have your family been robbing him ?—Family ! I
can't answer for family; for some of them, perhaps, are not cor-
rect people.—(A laugh.)
Indeed it is very likely. Now tell me where did you come from ?
—I came from the county of Linteriek.
Thank God we have nothing to. do with you.—(A laugh.)
Now don't you think you ought to he in the dock instead of
being on the table ?--.Wittiess (who evidently did not understand
the question, rather he in the dock ?)—Upon my oath I would
not wish to be in the (lock no more than you would.—(A laugh.)
Understand me, Sir ; upon your oath, don't you deserve to be
in the dock ?-011 ! that's quite another thing.—(A laugh.)
Did you not go snacks in the robbery ?—Snacks ! whit's that?
—(A laugh.)
Come, were you not concerned in the robbery ?—1 have told
you all about it. I said that I was implicated, and I'll say no-
thing more to injure my character.—(A laugh.)
Will you please to tell me where you come from came from
the City Bridewell.
How long have you been in the City Bridewell?--I haver been
there from the 16th of May..
You have been there for your good behaviour?--No, but for
the firkins. —(A laugh.)
You have been there with thieves and with robbers, fit com-
panions for so sweet a bird ?—I was in Bridewell ; but how
could I help it ? Sure 1 would not stay there if they let me
out !—(A laugh.)
Why do you prosecute the prisoner? Is it not to save your-
self ?—No.
You swear that ?.—.Yee.—No,
Pray which is it—yes or no ?—Whichever you please.
How were you first found out to be a robber ?-1 was found
out by informations.
Did you swear informations ?—I did.
Now did you not think you would have been hanged ?—I can-
not say. I aui no lawyer, and can't swear as to the hanging mat-
ters.—(A laugh.) • •
Do you think you deserve to be hanged?—No.
Not deserve to be hanged ! Will you persist in saying, upon your
oath, that you don't deserve to be hanged ?—I don't think I de-
serve to be hanged entirely.—(Laughter.)
You don't deserve to be hanged entirely—you only deserve to
be half hanged ?--(A laugh.)—No answer.
Oh ! then, it is yourself that deserves to be hanged elegantly
—(A laugh.)—Go down off that table—the dock is your proper
place.
The Jury acquitted the prisoner for want of evidence, and he
was immediately discharged.
