LORD GUILDFORD.

CORFU. Nov. to..
44 After.a long silence 1 received your letter, contain-
ing the melancholy tidings of the death of that virtuous
Ind satiable Nobleman, Loyd Guildford. This sad in-
telligence had reached us a week before by a Wooers.
menrcnut ier caftan, dinary. It is impossible to give yon
an idea of the sorrow evinced by all classe. of our tours--
try men,when the mournful event became publicly known
and which soon spread through all the other Idands.--'
Straitly after, a grand funeral- service was performed to
his Lordship's memory by order of the Government,
in the spacious church of the Lrcly of the Grr.tto. It
was attended by all the Professors and Students of the,
University, as well as by the whole of the Civil Autho-
rities. all of whom were in deep -mounting. and the
church wa. thronged by an immense crowd of people.
After the service, the Professor Theologos pronouncedr
from the pulpit a most eloqu!nt and affecting tune- ,
nil oration, in which be pou•to ayed, its the aro,c
lively colours, the well-known vaults of the lamented
Nobleman, and the irreparable loss which literature,
Greece, and indeed humanity in genesal, had sus-
tained. After the ceremony they ail returned irs
solemn procession to the University, where your
worthy friend. Professor Carandusos, delivered a fussed
lament

which drew tears from every eye. The Learned.
Genitleiman painted lit all cling colours the loss sus.
'aims) by the University. of which the illustrious, de.
ieased was the founder, patron, and father. Indeed
these religious impressions of reverence and respect
were not confined to this place. Even in the village
,Chutchesi as 1 had occasion to Witness, the clergy paid
the same tribute to his memory.
• 44 The' system of the University remains unaltered,
and the Government has appointed Professor Carandinos
ell Provisionary Ephoros, in the place of his Lordship ;
as the same time, sanctioning by a decree the salarses
air Dr. Tutlinos and Mr. Sachilarapslo and others,
%which up to the time were furnished front the private
purse of that generous and munificent Nobleman, who
was co-.e of those phenomena in the motal n orid, whom
Oar fori•fa:hers would have deifies!.

a You scarcely need•have dna ibed to me your feel•'
ings on the melancholy occasion, as I could well anti.
cipate them; indeed, you share them in common with
all those who, like yourself, experienced liisl4ordship's I
partial kindness and patronage. •
4, Nearly at the same time with the news of Lord
Guildford's death, we received that of the glorious
victory gained by the Allies over the combined Maho-
metan fleets on the very spot where, in the year 1825,
,you yourself suffered 541 muck when the place was be.,
sifted by the Turks. What a tenfold impression must
the tte .vs have therefore produced in your mind. Previous
to the !cattle. we had learned with horror. the atrocities
colmuitted by the Arab., in the interior of the Masa ;,
where not even the currant and fig-tree could escape
their fury, they being pulled up by the roots, and
burned. I have not room to give you the details;
but I am sorry to say that these barbarians have as
yet escaped the punishment they deserve. as they
weie not it N tvatin at the time of the chastisement
which the others received. S nue of the Greeks who
escaped horn the Tut kish trig4te Aslany (the Sea),
relate that more than two thousand of our brethren'
who were kept by force in the enemy's ships, in
order to work them, perished! When the Allies
entered the harbour. upon a signal from the Turk-
ish' Adiniral, the whole of them in the different ships.
bete chained to the.decks or guns, for fear of their
revolting. The few that escaped did so in the confusion
of the moment, as theire had opened upon the Aslant'
at the moment they were prep ►ring to chain them ;
they jumped ovetboard and swam to the English ves-
sels. How ignominious for brave men to be thus
forced to die in chains in the very view of their deli-
MOTS ! Many of the 'fur ks, like cowards, escaped on
shots and abandoned their vessels; this is the reason
why several ships we►e not destroyed by the Allies, who'
fired only upon those which opened fire upon them.—
As for myself, I would have bustled eves the last of
their boats. alter Ve violent provocation on the part of
•hese barbarian.; bat Christian humanity Must be prac-
tised by civilized nations even towards those who have
no sense of humanity.
There is now detained here a Greek vessel under
suspicion of piracy. It is indeed to be lamented that
all such robbers could take the name of Greeks. I
lately received a letter from the Morea, in which the
writer, who was an eye witness, assures me that the
crew of these piratical vessels is emus ased of nothing
but runaways of different nations, Sclavonians, Italians,
Spaniards, and some of our Islanders, all of whom are
obliged to fly their country, being criminals. These
rascals dress themselves in the Greek costume, and they
rob every vessel they meet, not excepting the Greeks
themselves.--Yours, &c. " COSMO:.

[ Yesterday afternoon, in the Strand, the cabriolet,
No. 41, billowed by a Stanhope, drawn by a high-
spirited horse, was endeavouring to pass a brewer's
(bay and some coal waggons, which were proceeding
in font. As the Stanhope passed, the drayman struck
the horse with his whip, which took fright, and set off
at fall speed, upsetting the cabiiolet and an apple-stall
in its cow se, and sending the driver under the feet et
the horses which were drawing one of the coal wag-
guns. Minded into the opposite channel, and was,
picked up by a passenger, happily without sustaining
any other injury than a roll in the mud. The Stanhope'

neither it nor the cabiiolet sust,ained any damage.

Joel him infinite credit as an artist. It was rapturously
applauded, and is of itself sufficient to ensure success
ire the Pantomilue, which we have no doubt, after•it
fiss undergone a few judicious curtailments, will have
ssuctessful run. The House was well filled, and the
audience in the dress circle superior in appearance to•
shat is usually seen on a boxing night.

SURREY THEATRE.
A drama, founded on the tragedy of Douglas, afforded
satisfactory entertainment to at numerous audience.—
The play of Douglas has long been admired for beauty
oflatiguage, and noble sentiments, but although it i,
fall of interest in the closet, as an acting tiagedy, it is
bury. Great relief has been introduced by the piece
performed last evening. which will no doubt remain in
tamer. Young Norval, by Master MAKE, was a very
able effort. This youth, who has displayed precocious
talent, in some instances really astonishing, gave spirit
sad interest to the son of Lady Randolph, which drew
forth enthusiastic applause. A new historical Panto.'
mime, called Harlequin and Me Astrologer of Stepney,
or the Enchanted AM and fated Ring, kept the holiday
lads and lasses in a roar of laughter.
ROYAL COBURG THEATRE.
A sew grand military Spectacle was produced last
night, called the Horrors of War, or the Life 'of a
Soldier, which was admirably *well performed, and
much applauded. It was prepared for representation
in a manner that gave the most unqualified satisfaction.
The story is interesting, and was developed with much
skill, and the drama will, no doubt, become an este.
blished favourite. It was followed by an interesting
sad Moral piece, called the London Apprentices, or.
&hairy and Jelkness. It was admirably well cast,
sod the actors were emulous to excel in their respective
puts. It has much merit as a drama ; the plot is excel.
lent, and the dialogue unexceptionable.
ADELPHI THEATRE.
_ _

The novelties at this Theatre have thriven, as every
thing deserves to thriisi, under the superintendence of
tint excellent actor Mr.Trlifty, the principal proprietor
Otto- &deli:Ali. This Gentleman has conciliAted de•
servedly the suffrages of the public in support of hi
establishment by a propriety of conduct, an unassumiog•
nen of deportment, and an absence Of alI officious in-
termeddling in any other department Of the theatre than
Wong* to his business—an example which persons in
similar situttions would do well to imitate. Lung be-
fore the rising of the curtaia last night eveiy part of the
house was filled. The meld-drama of Nelson passed
of in mere dumb chew. The burletta of .7 he Married
Baader was not mote attended to—in short all wa.'
noise and disquietude until the pantomime overture
ceased, and the White Mouse, or, a Frog is 41/0 Opera
Hat, was ushered before the tribunal a ;be public.
It was, as it was 'intended to be, a very agreeable em
tertainment, through the exciting medium of dancing.
singing, music, stenerrotnd all the exhilarating acres-
sates of which this Mies of entertainment is suscep.
tible. The scenery, both as to 'misty and execution,
Was on a scale of merit beyond former scenic represens
rations at this Theatre. The palace ofibe Green Swamp;
avd brilliant Temple of the Glow Worms, were quite
worthy of the best pictorial efforts of our winter Thea.
tees ; whilst the repiresentatungs of York Gate, Regent's'
• Park, Hammersmith, atimpensicn Bridge, and a View
of Eton Irons the Whilklsor read, brought home to the
visitors the recollections r f scenes mole Irmiliar to
them. There were several curious tricks; one or
which was, the representation of Wright's ChampAgne,
by firing of a squib (tom the cork of a bott•e, the,
scintillations of which were intended to portray
the sparkling qualities of that celebrated beverage
Another trick, successfully played off, was the creation
of a human being, a-la Frankenstein. TI e character,
were all excellently supported. Signor PAULO is *de-
cidedly the hest clown on the gage. Young URIMALDI
is nothing to him. He is always alive, his positions are
ever varying and changing. His laugh is reality itself.
He performed last night a most daring feat, we mean
that of standing on his head on the top cf a bottle sur•
rounded by fit e-works, whilst the ignited sparks fall on
his face. Maas Bernier, as the Lady Nibbleina (white
mouse). and afterwards Columbine, received loud proofs
of approbation-from the audience. Her dancing, par-
kularly with the castanets, was excellent. Mr. L. J.
Sutra (a first appearance at this theatre) support& I his
character as Harlequin with considerable spirit, and
tamed well, The bustle and general business of a pan
totnime was never better managed ; and, as a proof of
good management, we need only mention no tricks were
'flirted, or scenes displaced.

THE OLYMPIC.
The novelty of the night at this theatre, was the Pan-
"'liner styled, Harlequin Denson, or, the Moonlight
Enchantreu. The plot turned upon the struggles be.
tween a Saxon Witch and Prude, At Moonlight En-
dlontreo, for the possession and controul over the Co
hniiiirie of the night. Virtue was, of course, in the end
triumphant, and the tricks and transformations of the
various characters were, in some instances, very well
effected. The scenery was extremely good, more par-
ticularly the Moonlight Palace and the Moving Forest,
and the holiday audience seemed to experience the mos.
perfect happiness, at least if noise and laughter are to
be taken as proofs of joy, and that they are so esteemed,
in the vicinage of the Olympic,. will sc.ucely admit el
a doubt.

THE DIORAMA.
This beautiful pictorial buildiog was also open yester-
day for the reception and amosernent of holiday visitors,
who availed themselves, in great numbers, of that op-
portunity of gratifying their taste for the gietureur:
and beautiful.
