latest i'rom England. New-York, July 21. Ity the arrival on Sxlmday of the ship A in. Capt. Crocker, the Editor of the Na tion.l Advocate lias received London papers to the J9th of June, and Liverpool to the 2uih. The affairs of Greece occupy gene ral attention, and intelligence of a very im portant nature had been received at the tel of the Russian Aniba-sador at London, which stated that the Emperors of Russia and Austria, indignant at the outrages com mitted by the Turks at Constantinople, par ticularly in relation to the death of the Greek patriarch, and cruelties committed against the unresisting Greeks, have, it is said, determined to insist upon such repara- , tion from the Turkish government as the ease will admit. This news Ins created great aahslaction generally ; yet we do not perceive the nature of the reparation re qu red. If it consists of a mere pledge fro n the Turks, it will be wortli nothing. It is rumoured, however, that Russia lias de manded to become the protector of the Greek provinces, us she is already of Mol davia and IValiachia. It is also reported, that a cession of the above provinces will be insisted upon, as an asylum for those Greeks who may not be disposed to live un der the Turkish Government. Whatever may be the terms proposed by Russia and Austria, anil we hope they may be of a most decided character, the Divan must acquiesce, because Russia has an army of IOO.UoO men on the borders of t urkey. The Ed (or of the Morning Chronicle ob serves : “ As men and Christians we cannot bu' hail the prospect of a termination to the dreadful outrages committed by the Turks, and to wish most cordially for the emancipa tion of the Greeks from their ruthless ty rants. We lament, however, that this good must be purchased by the aggrandizement ol a state already but too powerful. The •ITect of this interference must be to throw the finest portion of Europe into the arms of Russia, from whose grasp no power wiil be afterwards able to wrest it. If the Greeks •i e saved by Alexander, and are to consider themselves as under Russian protection, Turkey in Europe is at an end, and Alex ander is Lord of Constantinople. A rumi nal sovereignty muystilibe allowed to the Ottomans fsr a few y. urs, but Russia will be all the while striking her roots in (he coun try, and the hold, which she will thus be enabled to take, will soon set hostility at de fiance. Ministers have clearly allowed themselves to be duped by Russia. They are now placed in a most embarrassing situ ation. they cannot oppose the inter'er ence of Russia ; for if they did, all Europe Would cry out against th :m. Itus ia lias artlully brought things to the pass that she can advance hi perfect security lo the ac complishment of her desig s. No power can now save Turkey from her clutches.” The Coronation which George the IV. seems to have considered ho essential to his future happiness, and the glory of his pau per subjects, is at last fixed, by royal pro clamatinn, to take place on the 19lli day of July, (last Wednesday.) As the allairs of the Mueen liflva lost their Interest, Johnny Dull will now have something to gratify Ins insatiute appetite for novelty.

Not a word was said respecting it by ministers, from which it is inferred that they discountenance tlu ob noxious measures pursued by the associa tion. Mr. Canning appears to have written a letter to Sir Francis Burdctt, complaining of some allusions to Ins l Mr. CY) conduct, in s laic speech ot the Uaronei’s at a public dinner in London. Sir Francis replied, ttiat he had used no more liberties, m speaking j ol Mr Canning, than he had done m refer ence to otner political characters connect cd with ministers ; and that what he had Said on tile occasion alluded to, was not meant t»' he pertoiuil. Mr. Canning declar ed himself satisfied witti tins explanation. Neither the London nor Liverpool pa pers contain the least allusion to the story about the death of Napoleon. We do not even discover any thing in our files to justi fy ® belief that he is seriously indisposed.' It a moiety only of the thousami-and-one talcs, told of this exalted personage, had been true, he would long ago, have been consigned to the toinb. In the Hamburgh papers we find s varie ty of details respecting the existing dill'er ence between the King -f Sweden, ami the Norwegian Diet, winch seem to threaten se rums consequences.

J\ew invention. —A patent has been grant ed to William Wood, of Row, Mnidle-ex, shipwright, tor the manufacture *n<l applt cation of a new material for the more eflec luully rendering ships and other marit me vessels, water-tight and sea-worthy. Ihe patentee has discovered that a ligut fell ot bide hair, or mixture of bide bail- and wool, when saturated with tar, is highly elastic and water proof, and conceiving me useful application of the substance as a lining for the sheathing ol ships, he manufactures it in an expeditious and economical manner, in sheets of suitable size lor that purpose ; such streets being attached to the external sides and bottom of the ship oy simply nail ing with scupper nails, arc covered with piankiug. 1 lie substance lie terms adhesive tell. It possesses the property of elasticity in so cons .durable a degree as to stretch uni tnriniy without fracture or injury- either lo its-exture, or its complete imp rmeabiiny to water, whenever me siupY ■„ ams are o peiied by straining in hard weather, or in more dangerous cases of the staining 01 planks or the breaking of timbers, as in stra dnig. In ai| a.icis eases, when with mu usual inode ot sheatliing w ater w -uid neces saruy be admitted to Hie certain destruction ol me vessels, this material (or nsan impe netrable and elastic carv or garment tor the » bote ship’s bottom, and iu the earn ot the opening of seams by straining, it recovers its first dimensions with the return of the pan s*l opened, or the release 01 the strai in such cams 11 generally tails into tne open ing 111 a certain degree, so as to render them atieru ard- more secure ag-amst a recurrence. He also finds it o Oe a complete protection against every description of worm in all cli mates ; this dcs.. active animat is never known to peneuu e the material iu the slightest degree. The material, ban-, or ha ram! wool, is prepared lor felting bv tbe operations of dressing and bowing;'a-m the practices of liai making, and is leited in the usual manner. Sheets or portions thus felted, are dipped into the me ted tar and pitch, in certain stated proportions to each other, and then undergo a shglit coinpres sion to take away the extraneous or dnp ping quantity of the material ; they are then exposed for a short time to dry and cool, and are then considered lit lor use.

On Wednesday last, James Gordon under went tbe capital and ignominious punish ment to which justice had condemned him, for the robbery and murder of John Glint, the pedlar buy. IVtiat added unspeakable interest to this unlawful crisis, and gare it, indeed, tile character 01 wild and appalling subli nay, was the remarkable circumstance, i that the moment in which the prisoner took hi- p ace on the drop was indicated by avi ' vi.l flash of lightning, and a tremendous burst ol thunder! It was- expected that Gordon would now have addressed the mul titude ; but tie merely asked if any one wished to speak to him, and on receiving no answer, said, “ Fare you »!l wellvery soon alter winch, be passed from time into eternity, Loi- un hra W.—We have heard of a most ex inordinary/rucut, which took place at tne \\ ickiuw Hotel, Dublin, a few day-s ago. li would appear that a Mr. II . having formed a strung attachment t» Miss d . tuuud means lo secret himself in di bcdcliaui ol the young ,ady at die above ho-ei, \\ uoily- uuc m-cuus of any such cir j cuirtstance, the young Indy entere 1 her chamber at the ostial hour of repose, at- I te idvd bv her ma d servant, w to, while m ; the act 01 undressing her mistress, perceiv- I ed a boot under the bed, upon which, with j great nreaence of mind, she beckoned to l t ie lady to quit the room, and followed as . q tw'kiy herself. 1 hev immediately luckeii ! up the intruder, and alarmed the house, up on winch the father an I brother of tlu young lady How to her assistance, and upon tlte door being opened, a violent sc.

Court of King's Bench, Dublin, June S.— A case which excited 3 considerable degree of public interest, was tried before Mr. Jtte lice Burton, and a Special Jury. The cir cumstances were these Richard Davis, a young gentlemen of most respectable con nexions m this country, enlisted as a com mon soldier some years ago, in consequence ol dispnics with his la.nily. He married, and wiliie lie was doing du y in London a- a private m the guards, his wife was delivered ol a daughter, who was christened Theresa Davis. Some time after the birth of this child, the father was ki..eJ at the battle of Waterloo, and in consequence of the de cease of some relations, the little I heresa, though born under such adverse circum stances, became heir at law to an esiale of two thousand pounds a year. Her claim, however, was impeached by the husbands of her two aunts, (the sis'ers of her father) who alleged that she was a suppositious child i and it was upon tilts issue that the tr;a! took place yesterday. Several wit nesves, who came over from England, iveie examined on behalf of the child, and the testimony established her legitimacy in so full and sa isfactory a manner, that counsel on both sides agreed it was unnecessary to prolong the investigation ; and the Jury re lui M. il a verdict, *' That Theresa Davis is the legitimate daughter of Richard and Bridget Davis."

Benjamin llaswell, a poor one-eyed fancy o.d man, in a white flannel jaoket, was brought b lure the Magistrates at Bow street, on I burs lay evening last, by a con stable ot Saint Clement Danes, clnuged With begging in the streets of that parish. The billowing is the sub- tance of his examina tion :—H .gistrate—" What m e you ?” (il l man—“ Me, Sir ? I’m a translator, regular ly bred and born; ever since I Inst my right t ye, when a ad.” Magist ate, “ A translator! H hat a iranslatorot languages O.d man—" Sir, leather.

Suppose your Worships shoes wanted mending, they'd cost you a matter of 4a. 5 6d. to have ’em well sealed, and heel’d and welted, and they’d be but old shoes after all; a id by putting another shilling or so to the money, you might buy a capita! pair of new ones; and to your Worship, my trade was knock ed up, and I was translated from cobbling, as your Worship calls it, to legging.'' Ma gistrate—“ I lieu why dl l.'; you take to making new simes ? ’ Old man—” Because, your Worship, f have bin one eye; and that isn’t a very good one.” Magistrate— In that case, I suppose, the best I can do for yoa, will be to translate von to a prison, and from thence to your parish r” Old nan— ” Thank your Worship kindv.

I’m sure l shan’t lose much by that translation, for with all my beggi. g, I’ve got but one poor pen ny to-day.” He was accordingly ordered to be regu larly passed to his parish at Bermondsey.

Wm. Coleman, Esq. Dear Sir—Pirating in these seas is car ried on in the wholesale. A fellow named Kurd, (I believe one of our countrymen,) late ly left St. Darts in a small piratical schoon er of about 50 tons, and proceeded to the Caycos, where he and the second officer landed. The crew, about sixteen in nunw her, seized the opportunity and threw tlie Ist officer overboard, (who was picked up by the boat which had landed the captain,) to go a cruising on their account. The pira tical captain was taken ot the Caycos by the Savannah Packet from Philadelphia, and brought to the piace in sight. .Next day, the br.g Nancy, from New-York, was chased to near the 'Mole by tne said pirate, but es caped. Great fears are entertained for the safety of the schooners "Goodfnends, and Ataianla. The first sailed from hence the 2t»th ult. for Philadelphia; and the latter for your port ihe 3d mst. A schooner from Hamburg, was, a few days since, car . ried into the large bay at MontechriSt, and robbed of 60C pieces plutillas, ad they could , take oil board. 1 hey snapped a pistol at the captain, and cut his hat through with a sword, hu’ fortunately lie received no inju ry. The crew consisted of blacks and mu lattoes, and said they were on their own ac count ; having murdered their officers, whalemen, but as there were three of com modore Aury’s republican cruisers laying on the appos te side of the bay, there is no doubt he sent this pirate as a cloak. My time does not permit me, or! could give you a long catalogue of these worthies. There is a piratical brig of 16 guns in port, seized by this government, together with her prize, a2 2 gun ship of great value, hav ing on board the cargoes of several plun dered vessels. The captain is named Pelot, and belongs to Savannan. Otir government ought to keen a number of cruisers among the Iveys, especially Crooked Island passage, and tound this Isl and. lam astonished we do not make some arrangement with the Englnn and French, so as to extirpate these viltians. i beg you to publish tins letter, tor it is time our gov ernment Was roused to a sense of the nect-s- ; sity of protecting the property of our liter cnant-s, and the lives oi our citizens, twill I only add, tout two hundred American ves- | sels enter this port annually, vessel and car go worth 10,WO each. (-V. T. Evening Host. Nisuviim, (Tenn.) July 1. The following is the confession of Mitchell I M.irkum, who was hung at Rutledge on Friilay last. | "lwas working at the house of Robert D -ap, tiie nay on which Mrs. Martin was kil ed, »nd hud rny gun with me. In the evening Delap askeu me to go wnh him to Ins nog pen, when there, lie told me he widled me to kill that woman to-night. I asked hint what woman; he replied Martin’s wile ; 1 resented the proposition warmly ; he smiled, and nothing more was said on tne subject. 1 started home, and he accompani ed me ; on the way he observed lie would go over and converse with the governor’s wife, meaning Mrs. Martin. He again pro posed that 1 should kill her, for which he offered me a hundred and fifty dollars; 1 again positively refused. When he came near to the chimney ot Martin's house, Dc lap again asked me, are you going to do it. ’ 1 replied no; he observed ‘life is uncertain death tv cert tun and money is very good.’ He then seized my gun, put the tnozzie through the ctiitnney, and ‘ell on Ins knees ; at ti.is moment 1 saw the woman lying on the bed, when the gun fired, and De.np handed me rm gun and went into tne house, i van. aril Delap,‘after coming out of the house, call, dto me, telling trie not to dt close murder on tlie pain of death, observing that he had blown ln r brains out, and requested nte to come to Ids house next morning and report iter ilea It, which 1 did. Deiap and 1 were afterwards taken into custody, con veyed to Jacksborotigh and lodg 'd in jail in the same room. The fir.,t night and during the whole night he importuned me very warmly, to confess that 1 had committed the murder at his instance, that as it would be my first ofi • nee 1 would not he punished, that he would then get clear of the charge and would spend any sutn of money in pro curing tor me able counsel, and would use ey;-ry exertion to get me acquitted, but that Ue was an old offender and unless £ would accede to this intreaty, he had no hopes of escape's Ue dictated tome the confession he w ished tne to make and so strongly urged it that 1 at length consented, and made tin confession, as suggested by him to severa persons; About four years ago last September, I was m the woods hunting, when I met a travelling pedlar ruling an elegant horse, the pedlar asked me where he could get break fast, 1 told him if he passed Delap’s, he could not breakfast until lie gol to the river; 1 j asked his name, he said it was Sturgeon, and that he was going through White County t< to Elk River. He passed on to Delap’s. About two hours afterwards Delap came to me in the woods where 1 was butchering a deer. I was then below Delap’s houst about two miles and about three hundred yards from the road leading to White coun ty. I told Delap I would go with him if he would wait until l hung up my deer. He said he did not wish me to go with him, ami directed me to go round and meet him at a certain spot about a mile off; he then went on. Suspecting mischief of some kind, i followed at a distance after, and saw hi n take a position behind a tree near the road. The pedlar immediately passed, when Ue lup fired on him and he fell; the horse ran off. Delap reloaded his gun and retreated. I afterwards told Delap that I knew of the murder ; he at first strongly denied, but at j length admitted it. lie threatened me very j much ; 1 promised seer.'ey ; Delap after- ! wards informed me that he got two hundred i and fifty dollars in bank notes and stiver, anil fifty dollars worth of goods. Ido not know what become ofthehorse; Deiap afterwards showed me where he burnt the body of the pedlar. • About three years ago last August, I was living in White County, when Delap camt i to the house of m.v sister ami shewed me in , the wo xis a fine black horse, with :i good 1 saddle, holster and pistols, and large bag of f goods which he had taken from another ped lar, whom he ha 1 lately murdered near the , piace where the first murder had been per [ etrated, and lii.s body sunk in a branch in a : thicket of bushes. Ido not know his name, i 1 Deiap told n.e he got from this man a hue.- j dred and fifty dollars and some goods ; he . wished me to take * horse and goods anti make the best of them, paying him fifty dol -1 lars which 1 refused. He went away with the horse and all, and in about three wcei* returned with none of the plunder but th» bridle, but appeared to have a good deal of cash. Sturgeon was a large man, about for ty years of age. Delap represented the last man he murdered as being very large.” Jvewlv Invented Boat. 9/ Noirrn Berwick, May 18. About 8 o’clock this morning, a novelty ur.kown in this place before, attracted the attention of a numeroas'assemblage of spec tators. A boat, manneu by four men, pro ceeded from this harbour to Canty Day, a distance of two miles, and, after refreshing the crew, proceeded round the Bass Rock, and returned their voyage in the space of an hour and a quarter, gross time, being upwards of six miles, the whole perform ance without either sails, oars, or any steam apparatus. The invention is entirely that of a respectable millwright here, who expects a patent before he publishes the means of impulsion. Extraordinary Care. —Professor J. 11. Her . haldt, of Copenhagen, Knight, delivered in the Royal Medical Society at Copenha gen on the Sih of March last, an interesting la'iil dessrtation ; it rel ates undoubtedly to one of the most remarkable cases in the annals of medicine. A woman, after havv ing been subject for several years to vio lent pains and spasms, was freed by the abiiity of the physician from 273 needles, which were cut out in different parts. It is a question of great interest how this extra ordinary number of needles should have come into her body, and how far the pains which she suffered have been caused there by. The woman is now doing very well. [Hath Chronicle. For the Ladies. LONDON JUNE FASHIONS.

They were both ta ken, brought fo trial, and condemned to death. The fate of these men was univer, sally pitied ; but Wilson, by an act of extra ordinary resolution, generosity and fidelity, excited the genei-a! sympathy to ardent admiration, and fixed it solely on himself. The two criminals under sentence of death' were according to custom, carried on a Sunday alter their condemnation, to join in the weekly public seryices of religion, four soldiers of the town guard of Kdin nirgh were their conductors; and they en tered the church be .ore tfie congregation had fully assembled, and before the com mencement ol the service. 'Hie prisoners were entrusted without letters to the cus ’ody of their guard. In these circumstances, he church door being open, and the per sons who w ere present not unfavorably dis, posed towards the criminals, Wilson, by % sudden effort of astonishing strength, gj asp. ed with each of his hands one of the attend, mg soldiers, seized a third with his leetli held them inextricably fast, and called to his comrade Robertson to run for his life, Robertson did run, and made his escape.
