FORElGN.--It appears by the latest dates
from Greece, that Missolonghl had aof suuen-
dered, and the accounts of this event a. re-
Gently received were untrue. The Earl Of
Liverpool, iii the House of Lords, in answer
to an inquiry respecting the letter which has
been published in lnany of the papers, pur.r
porting to be from an English colonel, said
"The facts mentioned in the letter could not
therefore be true, for il represented Misso-
Ionghi TO have fallen at a time when it had
certainly not fallen" We ardently hope that
what has been previously represented as the
fate of the unfortunate Greeks, may prove TO
ts fabulous; but there were, certainly, rather
too many corroborating items contained in tho
several narratives Of the affair, to render them
wholly without suppositon Of veracity.

TIIEATRE--The Providence Theatre,
was opened on Monday evening last, by the
Boston company, under the management Of
NJ. Kilner. We understand that a number
ot Stars, 'of the first magnitude, are to be in.
troduccd; among them are Edmund Kean
Mr.. and Mrs. IIamblin have already been
engaged, and were TO make their dcJat last
evening, in the play Of Virginius. They are
spoken of as performers Of some considerable
celebrity. The managers it is hoped will not
be unmindful Of their Newport friends, in thoir
contemplated visit, in engaging such actors as
will not fail TO attract houses that may render
their stay agreeable TO our citizens, and prof
table to themselves.

DELIBERATE EVILLANY.- Thurs
day morning last while the sagacous E,-
ephant Betty,N was travelling with her
Keepers towards Connecticut, having Just
left the village Of Chepachet, in Glocester,
two guns we're discharged upon the poor
nnimnl, within about Is feet of the person
who was leading her; FIVE bullets from
which, penetrated the brain. and caused
her to fall and almost instantly expire up.
On the spot. The wretches, Immediately
made their escape, and although grhat ef-
forts have been made by the inhabitants in
that vicinity, and the proper authorities, to
detect the villains, they have thus far
voided discovery. What could have led
TO so wanton an act Of cruelty the circum-
stances OF the case furnish no conjecture
Tor The animal was said to be worth
$4,000 A like outrage happened in
Maine few years since, and we regret
that Rhode Island has been made the
scene Of SO disgraceful and barbarous a
transaction. Prov. Journal.

exhibited in Providence; and in this town dur
