S. tacisatE, Captain T. SHEPPARD, is refitting at Spithead, for the purpose of returning to Rio Janeiro. It is not expected that Lord COCHRANS will to-he'st his flag in her, though he continues to give directions tespecting her re etpipmesat. The crew have been paid three months wages (all that was due) and prise-money, with liberty. to continue in the service or not. Many of them having already squandered away their money, have re entered, and others have offered themselves as volun teers to serve in our ships, but were: treated as renegades, And not accepted. -..Tuesday morning. the Comptroller of the Navy, •Vice-Admital Sir 'Frwns Bynm MARTIN; the Sur veyor, Sir ROBERT SEPPINO3 ; Mr. Commissioner I-ell/1)11E0N, and Mr. KriowLes, Chief Clerk (having ..arrived at the George Inn on the preceding day), pro• ceeded to the Deck -yard, as a Board of Inquiry an d Examination, having in view principally to ascertain the condition of his Majesty's ships lying in a state of ordinary at this port. The Board has continued the most minute and scrupulous examinati , m th? filer past clays, and. this morning was occupied in mustering the artificers and workmen employed in the Dock-yard. We are gratified to hear, that the ships g enerally prove to he in a rerfect state of soundness and efficiency. PLYMOUTH, JULY 7.—Arrived the DORIS, Sir JOHN Gontmo SINCLAIR, from Chatham, to be paid wages, and receive final orders for the South Am:rican station ; BRAZEN, tjABLEQIIIN, and PANDORA, from an experi mental cruise, to niake some alterations, it proving that the CALLIOPE brig, Lieutenant SYMONDS (contrary to all expectation) beat those three vessels upon all points of sailing. The CALLIOPE retuined to Spithead. COMBINATION-MURDER. Early onWednesday morning last, a party of ruf f ians, about 11 or 15 in number, armed with bludgeons, attacked three meat near the Gas Works, at the draw bridge, 'treat. Ringsend, Dublin. It appears that for some time threats had been held out against the appren tices in Mr. Morton, the ship-builder's, employment, lie having taken a greater number than the corobinators, according to their rules and regulations, allow. About the hout abovementioned, the men, armed with oak ►ticks, were seen under the walls of the Gas enn. verns, and the principal object of their vengeance was e young lad, named Andrew Merchant, an apprentice; the villains left him in such a deplorable state, that he died in a short time afterwards. The second person is an aged man, a 'joiner, of the name of Richard Neale, also in the employment of Mr. Morton ; be lies in a Melancholy situation. The third person happened merely to be on the road, and having, in consequince 6f the noise, looked back to see the cause, and having been observed, some of the party followed him ; he made his way iota a field; he was pursued, knocked down, and dreadfully beaten ; lie now lies dangerously lkoundecl in the head and various parts of the body. —The peva- stranger who accidentally witnessed the horrid tiansaction, and thus became himself the object of vengeance, turns out to be a pedlar from the coun try, who had been bathing, and was returning to town. A message was sent to Alderman Montgomery, Coroner—he summoned a Jury to attend him, and at five o'clock they went to hold the Inquest on view of the body, in Sir Pat:ick Dunn's Hospikal. The sister of the deceased identified the la-dy ; some of the witnesses examined at the Police Office, deposed to the facts. Dr. Stack and Mr. Nealty, the reaident Apothecary, proceeded to examine the body ; they stated, that the principal flacture, on the bead of the deceased, extended from the top of the parietal hone to the base of the skull ; these was a considerable extra vasation of blood, the temporal bone was completely broken through ; there was another wound on the right side of the forehead. The Jury, atter a patient inves tigation, returned the following verdict :—" The de ceased was murdered this morning, between eight and nine o'clock, by some person or persons unknown." Two ten, John Kennedy, a carpenter, and Patrick Kelly, a shipwright, were apprehended, and underwent aviong examination on Thursday before Mr. Gabbett. In consequenee of more of the eviderce given on Wed sresday having gone before the Public, through the me dium of the Press, than the worthy Magistrate thought advisable .to promote the ends of justice, the Reporters were on Thursday eicluded. Kelly was discharged, and Kennedy remanded for further examination. • • Peace Officers were dispatched to the coast, for the purpose of intercepting the flight of the accused. • The unfortunate young man who was murdered was about 21 years of age: he was a native of Kinnegal, in tire county of Westmeath, and was but a•short time an apprentice to Mr. Morton. He received Ss. a week wages, our of whicir•he supported a porir sister 'out of place, who is now in a miserable state of destitution. Lady AD km, ;tile of the Lord High Commissioner Hof the lonian Islands, arrived on the 9th of Jane at Trieste, on board of the English frigate SYstr.t.e, Capt. PEcnnr., from Corfu. Her Ladyship remained at Trieste till the Vth, when she set out for the baths at Recoarn. The SYDILLE returned to Corfu. The Eirl and Coun.ess of LtvEitrooL left their resi dence at Whitehall, on Saturday afternoon, for Coombe Wood.

Theirßiiyal Highnesses thahkes' and Duchess of Cambridge having realised that their interesting little Prince and Princess obould 'patronize the, annual Juvenile Fete• this seititen,..saiwrday was selected fur its celebration, and all the necessiit arrapgd- . ments were made accordingly. Nothingaliet human ingenuity could devise was left unclane on this occasion • to combine beauty and splendour of decoration, with variety of entertainment, and the most perfect order and accommodation. The usual brilliancy of the illu minations was heightened and diversified in every pos sible way, and presented to the poetic eye numberless beautiful magical illusions. Tire promenade in the quadrangle, with its dazzling canopy of thickly studdA lights, seemed like a near approach to that more lofty starlit canopy from which it intercepted the view. The festoons of variegated lamps, hung from tree to tree in the centre of the gardens, locked like a magic chain r f rubies and emeralds, and other gems, &nig by sportive fairies around the trees that enclosed their favourite haunt ; while the multitude of similar lamps that giittued through tite leaves of aM illunii• nated grove at the bottom of the qiialrangle, shone' like the spark'ing fruits of the ga-,lens4)l the Ilesper ides, or those more sparkling still which deck the imaginary orchards of the heroes of eastern enchantment. In other parts. of the gardens, the different Rags of Eorope waved from the boughs of the trees, with that of England proudly floating above the rest, to remind the young visitors of the lofty rank which their cciustry held amongst the nations of the earth. The lower end of the quadrangle was embellished with a great quan tity of party-coloured lamps formed into various ap propriate devices, with the motto " Welcome to our Royal Patrons;" and its sides were decorated with representations of hobby-horses, kites, hoops, and other emblems of juvenile amusement, also constructed of lamps. The Rotunda was hung all round with banners, suspended from spear-heads, displaying the armorial bearings of the leading noble families of Eng land; and it was also richly illuminated, as were the Ball-room and the Picture-room, particularly the laver. in which was exhibited the Musical Temple. The several other parts of the Gardens also possessed their attractions, amongst which the revolving evening star which shone pre-eminently brilliant. The Pavilion was fitted tip wiih peculiar magnificence for the recep tion of the Royal party. At five o'clock the doers were thrown open, and shortly afterwards the children began to arrive, attended by their respective parents, governesses, and tutors: The Gardens then fil:ed rapidly, and by the time the amusements had com menced, they were completely crowded. Then it WAS the scene became delightfully beautiful and interesting. If art had before rendered it splendid and imposing, na ture now added the appearance of a little Paradise, by gracing it with V e loveliest objects of her creation. Cold, indeed, must be that heart, which could not be warmed into rapture at such a sight. Several thousands of beautiful children, dressed with the greatest taste, ran about delighted from one entertainment to another, the joy which glowed in their little innocent breasts beaming from their sweet and riant features, whilst the smile that lighted up the countenance of each affectionate pas rent, spoke their participation by reflection in the joy of their little ones.—lrwas a rich banquet for the mind of the man anti the philosopher to contemplate so large a collection of human happiness within so small a com pass; and if a sigh could escape from his breast whilst he regarded it, to slew that his feelings were not uns mingled, it cr uld only he a sigh of regret, to think that the light and pure h 'arts. of the little-beings before him should ever become the seats of less happiness or less innocence. The evening being delightfully mild. and serene, constituted an additional source of attraction, and consequently, at abouteight o'clock, the number of individuals present could not have been less than from 12,000 to 15,000, amongst whom were the chldrea and several adult members of neatly every family of dis tinction in and around the metropolis. At nine o'clock the Royal patty arrived. It con sisted of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Augusta, and Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by Lady Jersey and her two children, and attended by Miss Winyard, Ba roness Ahlefeldt, Co,loneli Keat and Prom, Sir William David-on, Sir James Regnelt, and Major Jones. They were received at the private carriage entrance by the Proprietors and Officers of the Establishmeot, and con ducted to the Royal Pavilion. Their appearance was hai:ed by the company with three cheers—the band playing " God save the kiNg.° The Royal Duke bowed his acknowledgments, and so did the little Prince, ' who seemed an object of great interest to his young fellow-subjects in the Gardens. lie was dressed w ithl great simplicity in a blue jacket and white trowsers ; and his Perfectly natural and unpretending manner excited the most favourable feelings towards him. A child of Lady Jersey's was universally mistaken for the Prince's little sister, who was deemed too young and delicate to encounter the night air. Their Royal Highnesses expressed the greatest delight at the splendid appear ance of the Gardens, and the excellence of the are ange merits, and after conversing some time with the pro prietors upon the subject, they proceeded to one of the galleries, where they saw the ballet of " Lithe Peso's Wedding," and the performances of the female juggler. —They were then conducted to the other gallery, and beheld the fireworks, which were very ,beautiful and displayed numerous appropriate devices, and in the midst of which, as usual, the assent and descent on the . tight-rope, to and from the Moorish Tower, took place: As soon as they were concluded, the Royal party re turned to foe Pavilion, where they again received the warmest manifestations of respectful regard from the company, and remained these for a few minutes, dui ing which someornamental fire b tlloons were sent up in front cf the orchestra. They rose s eadily, and as they topped the lofty trees they fringed their shadowy foliage with a momentary light, and floated out of view. Trim Royal Highnesses then retired, highly gratified with their evening's recreation. A sumptuous collation had been prepared for them by Waud, of. Bond-street, but they did not partake of it. In this respect, however, Royal example was not followed by the younger por tion of the rest of the Visitants ; for no sooner were the fireworks over, than erei y box in the gaedens was thronged, and the attack that then cominenced'upon cold howls and pastry, proved that the eyes and ears are not the only organs to be gratified even at Vatti , hall. Upon the whole, the entertaininents a the even ing gave the most unmixed pleasure. • Among the numerous . pretty children that were in the Gardens, the Infant f:yra attracted particular ttteation ; she wore 'a green kerchief round herneck, which was fattened in (runt by a gold lyre. illy t..

The sailing match from Black wall to Gravesend, and back to 13Iackwall, for a silver cup and cover, given by the Members if the Thames Yacht Cub, which was ap pointed to take place on the 23d of June, but not de cided on that day for want of sufficient wind to envy the vessels down in time for the tide, was again con- tested on Saturday, by the follawing Gentlemen's plea sure-boats: Vessels' Names.

Viack, • 21, Rotherhithe. St. George, Edward CodJ, 12, Stingate. The Favourite steam-boil, wi h the Members of the Club, and a party of tl , eir kends on-board, arrived at Blackwall from the Tower, at ten o'clock. She found the boats ready for starting, and upon a signal gun be ing fired, they hoisted their sails and got away, the St. George taking the lead, which she kept for a short time, when she was passed by the Lady Louisa. This latter was the vessel that won the match last year, and ap peared to be a decided favourite, beng admirably adapted for sailing with a light wind. However, for a .considerable part of the way there was little or no odds between four of the vessels. The Deception, which was the filth, deceived nobody, for everybody said she *mild be last, and she was. Indeed, she very soon lost sight of her competitors, and after sailing •' che.k by jowl with herself" (as the Irishman said) for about two thirds of the distance, she wheeled round, and made the best of her way back. At one time, the Lady Louisa was nearly half a mile a-head of the rest; but a fresh breeze brought the other three nearly up with her. As they approached Gravesend, the St.. George lost so much ground that she gave Up the match; and tacked about ; but so close was the contest between the remain ing three, that shortly before they reached the point of turning they were all abreast. The -Royal Eagle, how ever, ran foul of an Indiiman, and broke the gaff of her mainsail', and having lain to to splice it, she lost all chance of success. Before the accident occurred, she had become the favourite. In the meantime, the Lady Louisa had shot a little a-head of the Greyhound, and gained the turn, closely followed by her rival. For a great part of the way back, the chances 'of success seemed pretty equally divided between these two boats, until . the wind falling nearly altogether, the Lady Louisa evinc.d her advantage in such wea.her, and taking the lead, she retained it until they reached within a mile or two of Blickwall, when a slight change in the wind again brought the Greyhound up with her; and after a great deal of nautical skill and address displayed by the crews of the two vessels, the Greyhound, at length, having caught a steady breeze, shot a-head, and finally came in first, by about a dozen lengths. The bills stated that the boats were to sail inside a buoy moored off the Artichoke; but upon the steam-boat (which accompanied the sailing vessels all the way) arriving at Blackwall, the Commodore found that since morning some ships had been moored to the buoy, and therefore considering it dangerous to attempt sailing inside it, he dispatched the Secretary in a boat to meet the vessels, and inform them they were to sail past the Favourite's stern. The Greyhound acted upon these - orders, but the other vessel sailed inside the buoy, and her owner, therefore, insisted he had a right to the prize. The Commodore, however, decided that the Greyhound fairly won the match, and accordingly de livered the cup to her owner, very much to the dissa tisiaction of the other : but we afterwards understood' that the quibble raised on behalf of the Lady Louisa was abandoned (as she could not possibly have won the match if the Commodore had not interfered), and the decision acquiesced in. A band of music attended on board the steam boat, and dancing was kept up on deck the greater patt of the day. She reached the Tower between nine and ten o'clock at night. The fineness of the day added greatly to the pleasure of the excursion. . . 2 Miss Kew.fsperspnation - of Susan Roseby, in the new Opera at the Lyceum, is beyond allsr aise.. . . .

HUNTER. this was an action to recover the value of certain articles sent to the defendant, the keeper of the Quee I's Head Inn, in the Borough, in.order to be conveyed by his Waggon to 'Rye. It appeared that the defendant's waggon stepped for two nights between London and It fie; on the fist 'night, the waggoner was accustomed to sleep for eight hours, between Seven 0 ks and Tun- bridge, during which time the waggon was allowed to terrain on the road side, opposite the door of the inn ; on the second night, the custom was to lock up the wagon in a barn or warehouse. The chest in question was deliyered to the plaintiff at Rye, who conveyed them to Winchelsea, upon his arrival at which place he discovered that it had been opened, and goods taken our, to the value of 191. 10s. mod. Mr. BROUGUAM, in a long and ingenious speech, ar gued upon the probability that the chlst might .hare been robbed by the porter conveying it frona : the prain tiff's house to the Queen's Head; or it might- havAltern rifled after the defendant's servants had delivered it to the plaintiff at Rye, in order to his convejoing•it to Winchelsea. Tfie Learned Counsel further contended, that the defendant was not liable to any loss above the slim of 51. a board being put up in the office, annolmc ing the irresponsibility of the defendant for any go ids above that value, unless they were entered and insured.' The LORD CIIIEff JUSTICE commented upon 'the gross carelessness of the tiefendant in leaving the waggon exposed, without any guard, upon an open road, during a whole night, and at so short a distance from Lond )11. With respect tolhe irresponsibility of the defendant for losses above the value of five pounds, it appeared that the contents of this chest had been described to the de. fendant's.book-keeper, at the Queen's Head, upon their delivery, and being of only an ordinary value, he' had . declared it unnecessary to insure them.—The'Jnry, without hesitation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 101. 10s. 3d. Costs 40s. COUItT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 9. WHITT.&KER AND ANOTHER 'O.CAIIIPBELL AND ANOTHEn. This was an action brought by the Sheriff of 1‘1..1- dlesez against the sureties of an Officer named LeaEh, to recover the losses which the plaintiffs had incurred through his misconduct. The evidence on the l art of the plaintiffs went to show, that Leach had iece:ved the persons of several defendants from another (hiker, named Selby, to whom he haligiven what are techni cally called " receipts" for the bodi s of these de fendants. From the.;e defendants Leach hid tither taken no bail bonds, or had accepted- as bail, pei sons who were in insolvent circumstances. ' In consequence of this, the plaintiffs had been obliged to pay the debt and Costs in each of those actions in which L-ach' had so neglected his duty. The number of legalohjec- . tions taken in this cause was so great, that .his ship, on one occasion, observed, the parties fought every inch ; and afterwards added, that the points in this: case were as thick as in a von of thi-tles—(A laugh)..
