' . • On the subject of his Majesty's Dock yards abroad, the Commissioners observe-- " We have found from officers who had served on the stations abroad, that a wasteful expenditure of the public stores has taken place, which we conceive may be lessened or altogether prevented, by the esta blishment of proper checks. " The Commissioners of Inquiry, in their Ninth Report, dated Ist May, 1788, after exposing abuses of the most alarming nature, which had prevailed at different foreign stations," recommend, in order to prevent and correct abuses in future, " That a Com missioner be appointed to reside at Halifax, and like wise at one of the islands in the West Indies, and at Bombay, as also, at any other port, during ac tual war, at which a large fleet may be expected to rendezvous. 44 Commissioners have since very properly been appointed at Halifax, Jamaica, Antigua, and Malta, from whose superintendence we have no doubt much public good has arisen ; but as a Commissioner has not yet been appointed at Bombay, we recommend that one may be established at that island, and also another at Madras. 44 Admiral Rainier, who has served as Comman der in chief in the East Indies for more than lOyears without intermission, concurs with us in thinking that the appointment of a Commissioner at Bombay would be a very beneficial measure. 4 1 'We find that in 1804 the sums of money which were drawn from the establishments at Bombay and Madras, in one department of the Naval Service— that under the Navy Board —amounted to almost as much as the expence of the other Naval Establish ments abroad,* where Commissioners of the Navy are now 'resident, and in 1805 to upwards of £150,000 more than at all those other establishments together; and, by the accounts in the Appendix it will appear, that the expence of the different Naval Establish. ments at Bombay and Madras, which we propose to submit to the superintenderqy of the Commissioners whom we recommend being appointed, amounted in 1804 to E 387,382 12s. 2d. and in 1805 to £496,665 13s. 3d. " Considering therefore that these vast sums of money are annually expended for the Naval Service in those parts, without the disbursements being in vestigated and controuled on the spot by any officer, except occasionally by the Commander in chief, ow ing to whose long absence at times,' as Admiral Rai nier observes, " from the principal ports of repair and refit, the above services are but very imperfectly attended to, in default whereof, many abuses and it- ' regularities take place, d etr i menta l to the service,' and putting the Crown to unnecessary expences We feel it our duty to urge the necessity of appointing a Commissioner at Madras, as well as at Bombay, in preference to one at Bombay only, which Admiral Rainier seems to be of opinion would be sufficient for a first essay." With regard to the salaries for these Commissio ners, they observe— , 6 As the principles of economy, by which we have deemed it right to govern ourselves, would not al low of our, recommending such salaries as would compensate for the danger and inconvenience of liv ing in foreign climates, and enable the officers hold ing those appointments to make any provision towards their future support ; we recommend that, after a zea lous and faithful discharge of their duty for not less than five years on a foreign station, the Commissio ners be removed, on the first vacancy, to a seat at the Navy Board, or have an appointment at one of your Majesty's dock-yards at home, and that after the same period of zealous service, the Officers of the Foreign Yards should be considered as entitled to fill the first vacancy in their respective lines of duty which may happen in any of the Dock-yards in England." The Seventh Report is occupied by the subject of Naval Hospitals. After so me d eta il s on the history of the Naval Hospitals, and on the necessity of se curing to the sick and wounded seamen and marines that care and kind attention to which they are so well entitled, they observe—" The more effectually to accomplish this desirable object, we earnestly re commend that the Physicians and Surgeons to be ap pointed to your Majesty's Naval Hospitals may be al ways selected from among the most able and eminent of their professions belonging to your Majesty's fleet,l and that no one be eligible to be appointed to either of those situations who shall not have served seven years at sea in your Majesty's Navy as Surgeon; and as a further security against inattention to the sick, we have judged it proper, in the instructions before mentioned to prohibit the Physicians and Surgeons of your Majesty' s N ava l H osp i ta l s f rom having any private practice whatever, strictly enjoining them to confine their time and professional abilities solely to the cure of their patients in the Hospitals. 66 We had no hesitation in deciding on the pro priety of this measure, from the representations we have received respecting the evils which have former ly occurred from t h e want of this prohibition • and one circumstance, me n ti one d i n t h e Seventh Report of the Commissioners of Naval Inquiry, is of so ex traordinary a nature, that we think it proper here to insert it in their own words : 44 We understand that evils have frequently arisen from the Physicians and Surgeons of Naval Hospitals pursuing private practice ; an instance was indeed ad duced to us of a patient in this Hospital (Plymouth) who was about to have a limb amputated, beint, _ne glected in consequence of the Sur geon h av i ng 'been called away to attend a patient in the neighbourhood. Private practice in time of peace is authorised by the Governor's instructions. We think, however, 'that their practising out of the Hospital ought to be pro hibited both in peace and war." gs This disgraceful circumstance is confirmed by the evidence of one of the Medical officers, who states " that they were all assembled at the hour appointed, and the patient ready, when suddenly the operation was put off, the Surgeon who was to h ave p er f orme d it haring been called away, as it was then understood, to attend a patient in Stonehouse." • Gibral:ar, Malta, Halifax, Jamaica, Antigua, X 175,132 116.741.

CHELTENHAM, AUGUST 24. The influx of company into the town this vvez+ has been very great, and many have had a difaculty in finding lodgings, which, from the late unfavoura W.! weather they did not anticipate. A third set of dan cers was made up at the Monday's Ball, and the Thea tre has-to boast the most respectable attendances. The arrivals during the week are--- , The Right Hon.

A numerous company of'ladies and gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous entertainment at the Beaufort Arms Inn, Monmouth, the day after the Assizes, which was honoured with the presence . of His Grace thy Duke of Beaufort, Lord Lieutenant ; Lord Ar thur Somerset and Sir Charles Morgan, Bart. Members for tho county; the Marquis of Worcester, Lord Granville, Col. Moly neux ; R, LeVOIs, J. Jones, and S. Bosanquet, Esqrs. &c. The dinner was followed by an elegant ball and supper. The company before they broke up voted a public meeting on the day following the Summer As sizes annually, by a breakfast on the Hill, and dinner and ball at the Beaufort Arms ; and his Grace the Duke of BEAUFORT and Colonel MOLYNEUX accepted the office of Stewards for the ensuing year. This fete was originally intended to have been held at the Ky min Pavillion, but the weather prevented. A buck, from the park of Sir CHARLES MORGA Bart. was last week presented to the Kymin Club ; and as the glorious news from Portugal arrived while the company was assembled there, it was welcomed by a discharge of cannon, &c. from the Temple. Saturday morning the 12th instant, about three o'clock, a large rick of hay, of Mr. Wm. Ponting's, at Ham's Field, near Berkeley, was discovered to be on fire, and threatened another rick standing by its side. The efforts of the neighbourhood quickly re moved the latter in waggons to a convenient distance, but a very excellent fire-engine, (procured from Ber keley Castle,) and every other means were exerted, till near noon on the following day, before the fire could be entirely extinguished. The accident is con jectured to have arisen from lightning. The last arrivals at Bath are— Earl of Mexborough, Lord and Lady Leesle, Lady Newels. men, Sir Corbet Corbet, Colonel and Mrs. Brown, Rev.

He was immediately con. veyed to a surgeon's in the neighbourhood ; but every attempt at resuscitation proving vain, he was carried to his residence near Fitzroy -square, which was ascer tained from some papers found in his pocket. A hackney-coach, with four women and two Chil dren in it, was yesterday overturned in Blackfriark-- road, in consequence of the awkwardne s or inatteu tion of a waggoner, driving a large country waggon.
