Sabrina Island, (discovered by his Majesty's ship of that name) which recently emerged from the Ocean, it is feared will cause many fatal accidents to vessels unacquainted with its situation, and that may happen to be sailing by it in the night. Captain MAbON, master of an American ship that arrived at Plymouth the week before last, states, that he fell in with it in the night, and had not the weather haen moderate ( what little wind there was blew off the island), he certainly should have been wrecked on it. The persons on watch on the deck, hearing the sea breaking at a short distance from them, as it °via rocks, immediately called all hands, and brought the vessel to. They then took an observation, and refer red to their chart ; but this did not clear up their doubts, and they very prudently lay to till day-light, when the phenomenon presented itself to their asto nished eyes. The result of the expedition against the Dutch island of Java may shortly be expected to reach this country. Notwithstanding the reports of General Datameas h .ving completely subjugated the Banta mars, it appears by accounts which reached Madras in April last, that the latter still have detached par ties in the interior, and great numbers were constantly socking to their standard. Some of the native leaders, who made their'submission, have effected their escape, and gone back to their friends with increased hatred against the Dutch, who are said to have exercised great cruelty towards those they have conquered. At one of the stockades or forts, all the people found therein, including women, children, and invalids, were put to the sword. At the burning of several villages, where ihe rebels, as they are called, took refuge, the place was surrounded, and none of the inhabitants suffered to escape. In the month of August last, a female negro slave was pushed into a pond at Antigua, and drowned. The Coroner's Inquest found it murder against some person or persons unknown, and every exertion was made to discover the person who had committed the fact, but in vain • at length, Mr. William Harvey 'Thompson, a gentleman, (says the Antigua paper) much esteamed by those who know him, and whose general character has been unexceptionable, went to a Magistrate, and confessed that he was the unfortu sate persun, who , with out an y malice against the poor woman, had occasioned her death.

SlR—in a former paper of your's, you mention that the Lancashire regiment was inspected by Gen. ENG LAND, on Thursday, and went through their evolu tions with precision, kc. you afterwards mention, in a subsequent paper, that you had made a mistake, and that it was the Ist Somerset that was inspected on that day. I must take the liberty of correcting that assertion likewise, the S.imerset having no rifle companies. It was the Shropshire that acquitted themselves on that day to the entire satisfaction of both Generals ENGLAND and THOMAS, and the admi ration of a numerous concourse of spectators, a finer reginien't in his Majesty's service does not exist.— The Generals, and a numerous party of Staff Offi cers, dined on that day with the Shropshire. The whole of the Officers a that regiment on Sunday last waited on the Roscommon Militia in a body, and on Wednesday the whole of the latter regiment were entertained in a splendid style by the Salop regiment. Trusting to your usual candour and i:npartiality, I trust you will make these facts known to the public through the channel of your widely circulated Paper. Plymouth, 18th October, 1811.

There were no card-parties.— The greatest harmony prevailed throughout the even. ing—during which the Royal Visitor appeared in high spirits, and conducted himself with as much courtesy and attention to every Lady in the Assembly 'as it lie had been her individual partner; nor were Lady CATHARINE LONG and her amiable daughters less 'conspicuous for those endearing qualities 'which sweeten society and give lustre to Nobility. Many of the Ladies were of the first order of female form and beauty, and the Gentlemen were neither unworthy . , nor insensible of their ch. r:ns. The labrary was elegantly illuminated wi:h variegated lamps, and or. namented with geraniums, myrtles, and wreaths of ivy, in a stile which did great credit to Mrs. Nuckut's taste. Part of the Second Somersetshire Band atten. ded, and were most ably led by Mr. FLEMING, Master of the Margate and Ramsgate Assembly Rooms B Ind. The remainder of the Military Band, seated in the Colonade, outside of the Library, played during the intervals of dancing. Mrs. Necet.E refreshed her numerous guests with cakes and magus ; and ncthing was wanting on her part or that of Mr. Nocetz, the M. C. on this occasion„ that could heighten the pleasures of an entertainment which their patrons and friends will long continue to remember with delight. Most of the late Noble visitants at Kinrara Cot , Cage, near Perth, the beautiful retreat of the Dechess 'of GORDON, are now assembled at Howick Castle, NorthuMberland, the seat of Eirl GREY. The Duke , and Duchess of BEDFORD joined the festive party on Friday, after accompanying the Marquis of Hearne to Huntly Lodge, wheta they remained three days. The Parks, yesterday, from the fineness of the weather, were thronged with promenading visitants. The promenade in Hyde Park, towards Kensiugien Gardens, had a spring show of all the fashionable Belles that the capital, at this dull season could The - '. possibly afford. _ equestrians were also nume rous, but scarcely an equipage of distinction %as seen to grace the drive.
