THE- WESTMINSTER PLAY:

Our Readers are too well acquainted with tlf.
cl lc.
sisal exhibitions, to render it necessary for us to e,iter
into an explanation of the place of reil-e:entation,
scenery, decorations, &c. or t say mote of the a,,d,.
ence, than that it compri,..ed, as it always does, a num.
her of distinguished individuals, the relations and Ili:lids
of the young Gentlemen, who either filled the cildric.
tern of the present. P;:sy, or may aspire to a simila;
tinction on a future occasion.

TERENCE is generally (we believe invariably) the au-
thor selected for represen►ation; rather, we presume,
from the classical than moi al put ity of his produrtions.
In the present instance the Pl:ty w:ls The Photerio, of
which the following is a short outline :

Chremes, an Athenian, marries the rich Nausistrata, by whom
he has a son named Pledria. Afterwards, in the isle of !ammo:,
he takes another wife, by whom he has a daughter named Puanius,
whom, at the age of 15, he agrees to marry to his nephew Antipho,
the son of Demipho. Afterwards Dentipho travels into (Vida;
and Chremes, under the name of Stilpho, into Lemnos, to burg
home to Athens, Phanius, with her mother. The latter, however,
dies on shipboard. Antipho accidentally seeing Phanius at the fu•
neral of her mother, falls in love with her, and, by tie counsel ••°
the parasite Phormio, marries her. The two fathers (Demipho autl
Chrentes), vexed at this marriage, and not fully understanding 1.,
endeavour to !procure its annulment. Meanwhile it happens 'hit.
Phzdria becomes enamoured of a musical girl, and offers to bey
her of her owner at the price of thirty talents. In order to r..iss
this money his slave Geta applies to the old men, and tells thou
that Phormio, for a dowry of thirty talents, will marry the girl
whom Antipho wishes to take to wife. Demipho, in order to break
the connection between his son Antipho and this unknown girl, ad.
vances the money to Phormio, who hands it over to Phadria, an I
the latter pays it over to the owner of the musical girl. t ltrerne;
subsequently discovers that his daughter Phanius is married to his
nephew, and therefore endeavours to compel Phori )) i)) to give my
the money; but the latter gives information of Chremes' bamniast
connection to Nausistrata, who raises a storm about it in the family,
and will not be appeased till Chimes agrees to grant his son the
thirty talents, and to pardon his attachment to the musical girl.

The Siege of Belgrade attracted another full audience
at this house last night. Mr. SAN° was in excellent
voice, and his exertions throughout the night were uni-
formly effective; producing waim applause and fre-
'queue encores. He gave the last martial song " The
Ariarifis, Trumpet," with a power and energy which no
one bur BRAHAM had before imparted to it. Miss
SrEPHENS sang and acted in her, most chat ming manner,
and the whole Opera went off exceedingly well.

It would be unjust to the eminer.t Professot s emplo, ed

FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA..

IN this Preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal
Properties of the Sarsaparilla Root, even to a perfect satura-
tion of the Menstrum with which it is prepared. To such persons,
therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great incon-
venience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare
the Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages
of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most
desirable mode of employing this much-esteemed Medicine.
The Diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those
of the Skin, such as the Scorbutic Affections, Er.,ptive Diseases,
Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a diseased state of the
system at large. It is taken in Water, rendering it of the same
strength as the Decoction.
Sold in Bottles, at 4s. 6d. and 7s. 6d. by Butler, Chemist, 4,

Rooms), London; and by the principal Medicine Venders through-

FIGHT

BETWEEN JEII FORD A THE BLACK,

FOIL PUTT 1110VCRSIGNS.
This was a good fight yesterday, until the Black tied it up. It has
been a match long in agitation. The combat took place at Dude hurch.
Round 1. The Black took the lead with much spirit, and wapped
his adversary's head about till the seconds got well sprinkled with
claret. and he floored Ford with a throttling hit.
2. Ford, who is a known brave man, began to think for himself,
and ejaculated to Cooper, his second, with a staring glance," Where
am I?"—" Why, contending with a Black fellow, and you'll be
with him directly." Every inch of the ground was contested ; but
Blackee put in a" begplo-faster," and floored his adversary again.
3. Ford bled like a stuck pig, but having recovered kimseir, he
commenced operations, and physicked his adversary, first in the
head, then the body, the head again, until the Black became as
groggy as a ward beadle on a Common Council election day. When
on his second's knee, he looked at his adversary with a pitiful groan,
as much as meant, " divide with you."
In the fourth round, and in twelve minutes, Ford hit his adver-
sary to all parts of the ring, and won the light.
Gaynor, who so gallantly fought Neale, the Streatham Youth,
challenged any man in the world of his weight, llst. 41b4. from $Ol.
to 1001. and a Gentleman present said—" Here is no boasting; I'm
ready to stake the money. Reuben blartin is the object of Gay-
nor's friends.

MATCII !ROM LONDON To DONCASTER AND BACK.

Mr. G. West, whose equestrian feats are recorded, started on
Thursday night, at twelve o'clock, to go from the llampstead•road
Chapel to and from Doncaster (324 miles) in four days and sir hours.
The wager was, that the pedestrian should be at Doncaster (162
miles) in two days, for 100 sovereigns ; and the second engagement,
for another 100 sovereigns, was, that he did not accomplish the un-
dertaking. The match Is rather more than three miles an hour,
stoppages included. The pedestrian reached Wandsford the first
day, and took not more than a quarter of an hour's rest. This
spot is half the distance, and he won the first hundred by beating
time 20 minutes, and was returnable to ltossington-bridge, four
miles back, before he skpt.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.

" NAPOLI 111 Itoruxu, AUGUST 8.

" The moment the Greek Government were apprised
with certainty, that the Egyptian fleet were about to sail
for the Archipelago, they adopted many vigorous meal
sures. A corps of troops vs as landed at Hydra for the
defence of that island. An army of 12,000 strong has
also just assembled in the centre of the Peloponnesus
which is intended to act as a reinforcement. It is ready
to march upon whatever point of the peninsula may be
menaced by the enemy. Other corps occupy the prin-
cipal roads leading ftom the southern and western
coasts into the interior. Being placed in strong posi-
tions, they are sufficient to arrest, at least, the first
movements of the enemy.
" Besides these measures, a general appeal to arms has
been addressed to the people by the Government, who
are now completely armed. The appeal has been heard,
for the love of independence particularly animates this
people, and every Peloponnesian is ready, on the first
signal, to join the ranks, and march against the enemy.
" To judge by the measures which the Government
has taken, and by the spirit which animates the popu-
lation, the whole Peloponnesus, on the first cry of alarm,
will transform itself into a camp. Besides, the forces of
the Pacha of Egypt form but a third of the expedition
of 1822, under Chourschid Pacha, which penetrated
into this island, but which in a short time were en-
tirely destroyed."

THE GREEKS AND THE TURKS.

TRIM TDB EYOILE or SUNDAY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST 26.
Tlie great changes which were announced in the Ot-
toman Ministry have extended no farther than the de-
position of the Aga of the Janissaries, Hussein Pacha,
the Sultan's son-in-law. The unheard-of severities which
he exercised in his command had rendered him so odious
the Janissaries, that an insurrection of that formidable
body a as every moment to be apprehended.
It is to be presumed that the deposition of the Aga
of the Janissaries will be followed by that of the Grand
Vizir, his particular friend. In general, public opinion
frequently manifests it-elf by threatening murmurs.
It is certain that the Captain Pacha has sailed towards
S.imos, but it is not yet so certain that the Greeks have
taken, as is a -serted, 20 vessels, with 2000 men on board.
The links ptetend that a landing has already been
effected upon Samos at one point; but this is not at all
credible : the Sow:wears of the 17th of August does not
say a word about it.
The Sau.iots have taken ail imaginable measures to
sell dearly to the Baibarians the conquest of their island.
All their valuable effects, every kind of provisions, has
been convey ed to the mountains, and the plain country
will be laid waste ou the appearance of the Nlussulmen.
It is said the Egyptian fleet continues at anchor about
the side of Rhode:. _ _ _

A Turkish corps had advanced to Athens, but found
the Acropolis strongly garrisoned by the Greeks.
The Seraskier Dervisch Pacha has not been more for-
tunate than his predecessors; he has lost almost all
his army in attempting to force the passage of the
Thermopylae.
Placards have been formed on the walls of Constanti-
nople, in which even the Sultan himself is menaced with
death it he does not let his sun, who is now 11 years old,
accompany him to the Mosque. It is reported in the
Seraglio, that the young P. ince is attacked by epilepsy ;
but the Janissaries attest that he enjoys excellent health,
and that it is only a political reason which prevents his
being shewn to the people.
