The Mexican brig of war Bravo was chased in on the 13th by the Spanish frigate Leaked. The Mesican brig of war Herman, and privateer Molestadora, were to sail soon on a cruise. A cutter, prize to the latter, which was takeri off Matanzas, was seised by the Collector, to learn the decisiln of the United States. The following account of the disaster that betel the picket ship Leeds, Captain Sprague. is given by a pas- Senger : this vessel was bound for London, and left New York on the Ist of April : after leaving New York, they had pleasant weather,with every prospect of a short pas sage, until the morning of the7th inst. the whole of which ,day was squally,with variable winds. About half-past 4. the wind being fresh from the westward, then in 1at.41. SO. long. 57, the ship ender reefed topsails, she was struck with , a whirlwind, or white squall, which in an instant carried away the main and mice's masts about twelve fret above deck, with every thing attached to them. The wreck was cleared in about twenty minutes, and although the wind was high, with a heavy tea at init the night, no farthet accident occurred, and the thy remained perfectly tight. The next day they corn- Mowed rigging jury -masts, and after a consultalion,' determined to put into Halifax to refit, but, owing to contrary winds, were prevented. An attempt was then made to put into Bolton ' which also failed. Capin passengers—CharlesJ. ldis and family ; Jane • Brown, Thomas Brothers, and John Nicols. NEW SOUTH' WALES. The advantages of transportation to this favourite Colony have long since been duly estirtiate2l by the lower orders of Society, of which the following anec dote is a singular instance: The 46th Reginteort of Foot having been on duty a Sydney, during the years 1818 and 1819, sailed in the early part of 1820 for Madras. Shortly after their ' arrival, two of the privates were charged with the eerious offence of coining, and being tried and eoniieted, were sentenced to transportation, and sent nut as convicts to - the colony from which they had so lately been removed. A few weeks subsequently information was given to 'he police (by an anonymbns communication) that a gang of eight or ten other privates of the same re giment were catrying on the like nefarious manu facture. They were accordingly taken into custody, committed, tried, and convicted. Meanwhile it had reached the ears of the Commanding °Zee,, that the apparent criminality of so many of his men was but a manoeuvre to procure their speedy return to the favourite coloby in which they had so long been ; quartered. He forthwith made a representation of the circumstances which had come to his knowledge to the Governor in Council, accompanying such statement with the assurance that if the convicted gang should be tran sported to Sydney. his regimint would shortly be re duced ma mere skeleton. The punishment was there• fore changed to imprisonment and hard labour at Ma dras, and the virtue of the remaining privates of the 46th •Itegtment was no longer terdpted with the alluring bait of transportation to New South Wales. It is scarcely necessary to observe that neither coining ntrr• forgery are punishable as capital -teepees in our East Indian territory. By an Edict published at St. Petersburgh on the 4th inst. it is forbidden to dye in dark green and black; colours foreign woollen cloths, under a penalty of 100 roubles per piece. According to the latest accounts from the southern countries of Europe. where silk is a principal object of 'trade, all the silk worms are in a thriving condition, and promise an abnindant crop. In Smyrna, Bronssa, and other parts of Asia Minor, no fears are entertained on this year's supply. As a proof of the extreme rigour of the winter in the North of Europe, it is mentioned that two Prussian and three Lubeck •easels, which had sailed from Bolder-Aa on - the 18th of April, laden with merchan dice of Russia* produce, were obliged to put back into that port on the 21st, hissing met with a large quantity of ice -near the Island of Rano. The number of vessels which had arrived at Riga by the end of April was 160: 23 bad sailed.

Y esterday a General Spectal Court of Pioprietort ' took place in Leaderihall-street. The CHAIRMAN (Was. Anna.. Esq.) informed the Proprietors that the Court was Special, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of gr,antint it pension of 2001. a year to Major George Cunningham, such being the opinion of the Court of Directors, at etipressed in a Resolution to that effect. The &repletion of the Court of Directees having bees rea, • The CHAIRMAN moved its confirmation by apt Pro. prietors. Captain MAIWZLL did not object to the, propiiety. of the grant; but thought that if it was the iTeiltifin of. ; the Directors to put all officers that Oiine hQ.Mq health en the retired list, such shttuldiie notified to If' officers iu India, as it certainly was riot so utiderstood at present: be did not Mein to say that invalids should be altowed, after-returning. to go out again to =tied , service in India; but it was certainly as well that those, who were serving should understand as much. M. TaAu approied of the greet' to Major Con. ninghassi'and be was happy to embrace that opportu laity of stating how gratetel he was to the Major for saving his lice, and indeed those of all the English re sit:lett id the place which he had so Ilienfelly defended, and to which he (Mr. Trent) had no doubt that Liltijots Cunningham's broken health was entirely twang. He, for one, should have been most willing to have agreed in a tatter grant, had suck been the opinion of the Directors; and he could not bet hope that the time Would still come when Major Cunningham would be testoted to the service, as his health was daily returning to its pristine strength. Mr. RIGBY approved of the grant, as Major Cunning ham had behaved most meritoriously in the insucreCtion where-he received his wound. He could not, however, agree with Mr. Thant. that enengh had not been done under the tircomstances, as with this additional . 2ool. the Gallant Officer would be receiving 5001. per anriuth. Mr. GAHAGAN expressed his concurrence in the grant. • Lieutenant General Tnodurou asked whe•her there was any likelihood of the Major's being again 'employed ? • because, it strdh were the case, be should *Mae as. an • ansebdthetit, that this grant be only continued so hang as ths Gallant Major was out of employment. The CHAIRMAN said that the grant was only given on the understanding that the Major could not again be tailed into active service, and he, therefore, thought that they would only he taking away from the grace of the grant, Without any ptospett of the annuity ever muse- , toe to the feeds of the Company. 'ae attestation was then carried mud piously. then laid fiefort the Prdprietors' the trial of Ctinstits Piescott, and nth etk, itl the Court of king's Beliefs; by which it ap- . peired that the Court of. Directors had resolved to recal , Coiner I#ayie from Madras, as it appeared that his pointment took place under curt upt circumstances. Capt#in Pas-scam begged that' the strictest investi- . gation might be made into the case. He had been 'hinotrably acquitted by a Jury; but unless be was also acquitted by thin Court, he would never shelter himself behind his Directorship, but would instantly retire from his office—thew, hear !) The Hon. Mk. IL Lttiosat slid, that though • the subjett was M him replete nith painful sensat#ohs; yet. at it had been introduced by a worthy Proprietor, he would take that opportunity of saying a few words upon it. When the question had first presented itself in a suspicious nature to the Court of Diiectori, he, fiats the situation that he then held, thought it to be his duty to make every possible investigation on the subject, for ) , e. certainly thought that it was of the first . importance that it should not for a moment be sup- .. posed that the patronage of the East India 'Com , pany was disposed of in a corruft manner; or that; if such were unfortunately the case, that the Board of Directors was disposed to screen any individual, what ever his simation e from the censequenees of such conduct. The result of this investigation had been, that the whole of the circumstances of the case were laid before a Jury in the Court of King's Bench, and Captain Prescott had by them been hoirobi ably acquitted, .n which that Jury had certainly but coincided with the ('pinion that had been formed by the Committee that had been appointed previously to investigate the matter. Captain Paascoxr said, that he could .only repeat what he had befote said—Which was, that he courted the fullest investigation into his conduct. He had given away bat eight appointments since he had been • one of the Directors of the Company. Tile names of the persons whom he had appointed wete open to inspection; the persons themselves could be called; and it would therefore be very easy to ascertain what were the motives that had actuated - him in the disposal of a patronage which he had newel hoarded, as though waiting for persons on whom he should bestow it. That the public investigation to which the Honourable D:rectot had alluded had been made, none was more glad than himself ; but if there was any thing of which he felt disposed to complain, it • was that no notice whatever of the Committee bad been. afforded to him, but that he had been summoned beloit it on the instant, without any indication being previously made to him of its purpose. The Honourable Mr. LINDSAY explained, that with respect to the formation of the Committee, he had only known of such being the intention of the Directors nfew hours previous to its appointment, and that therefore no opportunity had been afforded him of 'apprising Captain Prescott of the circumstance. A PEOPRIETOR observed, that it was evident from what bad fallen from the Directors behind the Bar 4 that there was some schism existing on the topic ; and he was therefore glad that the Honourable Director; (Mr. Lindsay) bad afforded an explanation to the Court of the motives on which he bad acted, as the Chairman had presented the papers to the Court without a single observation. Captain MAXWELL expressed a wish that the Court of Pioprietors should be better informed en the subject of Cadetships in general. The CHAIRMAN said, that in presenting the pipets to the Court, be had not thought it necessary to aecop;.. party them with any observations on his part, ai the opiniot of the Court of Directors on the subject'wai well known. The. Hon Mr. LINDSAY obierved, that he had Wei in hopes that souk Proprietor would base moved that theft, should be printed, because it was impgs ti li ri l t oprietors bitotn4 acquainted vitt* I 1111114- SCOTTISH HOSPIT AL.
