WINDSOR, MARCH It. The Duke of NEWCASTLE, attended by Mr.WVATVILLE, visited the Castle on Thursday. His Grace expressed himself highly gratified with the taste and elegance di: played throughout the works. Additional workmen are now employed on his MaJeares suite of apartments, in order that they may be completed by the first of May. From the grand scale and magnificence on which the alterations are being carried on, however, it will not be possible to complete the whole, contemplating the greatest exertions, within the next twelve months. ASCOT HEATH.—The Races this year promise to attract more company to the ground than has been wit nessed at any former period. The list of &agate horses has not been matched in any preceding year. Doting the week, men have beet employed in rolling the course, which, from the lightness of the soil, is in ex cellent order. THEATRES. DRURY LANE. Saturday evening was performed at this Theatre , what the bills announced as a new Comedy, altered from Mr. KENNY'S Forget and Forgive. From such materials it would be no easy matter to produce anything good, nor is expectation disappointed in Frolics in France. Its reception was sot very Mattering, nor is it likely to grow upon public favour. it is really surprising that none of our many excellent novellists, who seem to pos sess the necessary knowledge of the world, and nice discrimination of character, have attempted Comedy. It difficulty could excite, or fame reward, surely smelt would be attended with enough of both. Without en tering into a subject so interesting to the Drama, it must be regretted that the sock should be consigned to such hands as have in latter years catered for oar Theatres. The present piece, as a story, is full of improbabilities, nor have its detached parts anything to recommend them, saving vulgarity substituted for humour, and in sipidity for sentiment. The actors may fairly say, "'tis " not in us to help it."—Lieron, who fills a subordinate parr, is )et the life of it. We certainly do not think grimace the greatest merit of this admirable actor. In some scenes Miss ELLEN Tam was most warmly and deservedly applauded. COVENT-GARDEN. The Opera of 7 he Marriage ofFigero was performed here on Saturday night, when Miss STEPHEN! appeared as Susanne, and Miss HUGHES undertook the part of the Countess for the first time. Each of the Ladies exc. euted their songs, and particularly the beautiful duet, to the satisfaction of the audience. Miss STEPHINS plays with much more vivacity than she formerly did, and her Jusantra is one of her best comic efforts. It is lively without extravagance, and arch without affecta tion. Miss HUGHES did herself much credit by the cor rect and easy manner in which she played the Countess. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE KING'S STAG HOUNDS. Friday last the Gentlemen of tbe bout had a famous day's sport, to which the fineness of the day greatly contributed. The Stag was uncarted at leer Heath, and went riff in grand style towards liver, round the inclosum, and through Upton into Brea, where he was taken in the Thames, after a run of about an hour. There was a Bond field of Sportsmen out, among whom were Lords Chesterfield -and Belfast, Sit F. Burdett, &c. HUNTING. His Majesty's Stag Hounds meet on. Friday, at New Lodge, Winkbeld.

COURSING. . . • • Wednesday Sir Francis Sykes, Bart. gave to the Gesitibmen and Yeomanry of the neighbourhood, an excellent day's coursing on his estate at Upper Basildon. The company were numerous, and there were fifteen couples of greyhounds on the ground. Hares were in plenty, most of which ran stout and afforded some brilliant sport. Sir Francis intends to have a similar meeting annually for his tenantry. ANTONIO. • This. justly celebrated bone died of inflammation of the brain, at his. stables, in Preston. He was bred by Mr. Ferguson of CarteAdt I:lroise, and won the Leger in Lein, the rate being run in 3 min. rs sec. which, we believe, is less time than the same race has been run in either before or since. Immediately after the above race he was sold to John Clinton, Esq. of Lytham Hall, for 1,1100 guineas, who a very short time after refused 2,508 guineas for him. His stock have turned out well, and fetched very high prices. PEDESTRIANISM UNPARALLELED. Friday week, at Hampton, Greeves, the Lancashire pedestrian, wilt) was matched for £lOO a-side, performed, with ease, his un til/ailed task. He was to hop 70 yards at 20 hops, in clogs, or obsita shoes, which he completed in fine style. . The soles of the shoes were, at least, two inches thick; and this feat exceeds, by nearly one yard,-anything that Jackson bad ever performed peblicly in pumps.

The Marquis of ANGLISSY intends, in the course of the ensisins summer, to make a tour through the southern parts of Ireland. Friday, the Finance Committee was engaged from twelve to four, examining Lord PALMERSTON, respect. ing the War Office, the payment of the troops, agency, &c. On Saturday the Sub• Committee was employed in ascertaining the amount of half-pay, pensions, and al lowances, now payable on the military and civil branches of the service, wallet, we fear, will tuts out to be enormous. THE ARMY. The 7th Regimeat or Dragoon Guards have received orders to proceed to Maschester Prom Coventry, and are to be replaced by the 14th Light Dragoons. Monday and Tuesday last, that fine Regiment, the 7th Hussars, marched through Wycombe, in two Divisions, on their route for Ireland, where they are destined as the body guard of their gallant, Commander, the Marquis of Aseinsr, the new Lord Lieutenant of the slater klegdorn. The reserve company of the 74th Regiment, under the com mand of Major &mum, now quartered in Stirling Castle, will leave it for the Isle of Man about the 19th instant. They are to be replaced by the reserve company of the 42d Royal Highlanders, now stationed at Paisley, under the command of Major Mmonns. The Dept Companies In garrison at Plymouth are to form Bat talions, and exercise three times a week on Government Parade. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. INFORMATION to TRADERS v TEE RIVER PLATS. British Consulate, Monte Video, Jan. 9. have the honour to enclose, for the information of the Committee of Lloyd's, arid in order that it may be made public for the benefit of the general commercial interests of Great Britain, the accompanying announcement of the lighting of a revolving light on the Isle of Flores, in the river Plate.—t am, he. (Signed) THOMAS SAMUEL HOOD, His Majesty's Consul. John Bennett, Esq. Secretary of Lloyd's NOTICE ST THE CONSVLATE. With infinite satisfaction notice is given by the Consular Tribunal of this place, that there is now established on the Isle of Flores a handsome revolving light (the announcement of which was made by the tribunal in its exposition of the 26th of October, 1826, when the works at the tower were first commenced), and that it has been lighted ever since the first day of this current month. Although the said exposition contained several indications relative to the Sear. inp of the island, its distance from' the English back, and other notices of that nature, it is deemed proper to give publicity to the same. The most aerated part of the island, the height of which, taken from the level of the sea, is 63 palms, lies 64 degrees 57 minutes S. ht. and 49 degrees 39 minutes W. long. by the meridian of Cadiz. Its distance is 11 miles N. W. i W. from the outermost point of the English bank; so that theobserver's eye s when placed in this point, at the level of the sea, is able to distinguish the summit of the light, the height of which, with that of the tower, is 75 palms ; which, being added to the 63 for the elevation of the island, gives together a height of 1311 paima. Monte Video, Jan. 8. ANTONIO JOZE DE SOUZA VIAN A. TOMAS CASA RES. MANUEL POMBO. LUIS GONZALES VALLEGO, Se:retary. Extract from the Agent's to Lloyd's at Genoa, dated March 6. " The N.

We have been obliged b; an extract from a letter written by an English Officer, in the service of the Bra,- zilian Government, who was in all the actions fought there. He states that it was generally believed that peace would soon be concluded between Brazil and Buenos Ayres: "OFF BUENOS AYRES, .JAN. 10.—We (the Brazilians) have been very unfortunate lately, having lost another corvette and brig at Patagonia, the Poula frigate FED aground off Cape Frio, and a man of war brig, and a transport, the tatter with stores and ammunition, for Monte Video, have been captured by privateers. As a setoff, we have captured and destroyed the brig Con gress, of Buenos Ayres, which we discovered agrouni, with her prize (a nsercliaot brig) in Esmardo ; but the former had 23 men killed in the action. The privateer wasladen with plunder, valued at 500,000 dollars.— When the news reached Buenos Ayres, Admiral &o came out, with twelve sail (the largest vessel was a brig of fourteen guns), and we expect to be attacked by him every night. Our blockading squadron consists of ten sail, corvettes and brigs. This is a most hatrassing and heartless service. An able seaman gets eleven milreas, and a voluntario twentrtwo miheas per month. I have served in both classes, with no hope of promotion. The Ganges (Rear Admiral Sir Robert W. Otway), and the Alert, are lying here; the latter arrived on the 6th inst. with dispatches from England." The following extract from a letter from Lisbon, gives some further particulars of the loss of the Terror bomb, and adds to that disaster, we are extremely sorry to say, a still more melancholy one—the total loss of the transport Aun and Amelia, Lieutenant Hopkins, agent, with all the crew and passengers. Lieutenant H. who was a good and highly esteemed officer, has left a widow and four young children, living at Southsea, to deplore his 100., Among the passengers, we under stand, was Mr. Pare. son of the late Sir Henry Peake, late a student id the School of Naval Architecture, who was on his way to join his Majesty's ship Warspite, in a service connected with his profession. The Ann and Amelia was very valuably laden with stores of all kinds for the Mediterranean Fleet. " TAGUS, MARCH I.—On Sunday last we were sur ised by the arrival of S:r Thomas Dixon and the First Lieutenant of his Majesty's late bomb the Terror, who had travelled, dressed like freebooters and armed with pistols, more than 70 miles on foot, to obtain assistance from the Admiral in the Tagus. Their . ship, it appeared, after encountering tremendous weather, about 70 miles I to the southward of Lisbon, run on shore near St. Map ~r Y and bilged. They found themselves, in the night time, in about 15 fathoms water; they instantly let go the anchors, but were in a moment thrown upon the beach. - Fortunately it *as high water, and a sandy shore, or her bottom would have been beat out, and all hands have perished. The crew. happily, were all saved, except one man; and when the tide receded, they got her stores and specie out. The Admiral sent the Pyramus and Lyra trader, and the steam packet has since sailed, to assist in endeavouring to get her off." The Revenge and Melville arrived on the 27th ult. after a boisterous passage of 28 days, from Spithead. The Revenge, Wellesley, and Ocean, are to go opabe Mediterranean • the S, artiate, Gloucester, Windsor Castle, and Me lville, return to England. General Sir Wm. Clinton, and Officers of the Staff, will embark in the Spartiate,with the Ist battalion of Grenadier Guards, consisting of 600 men. The sqtadron are ordered to be ready for the reception of the troops by the 8d inst. though we do not expect to depart hence utrel the end of the month. The Briton sails to.monow `with his Excellency Sir Wm. A'Court (now Lord Heytesbury) for Portsmouth. We have received letters from the Cape of Good Hope, dated the 18th of December, which wanting the , arrival in Simon's Bay of the Tweed, tit, Lotd Spencer Churchill, from England, without any other , casualty since she left St. Jago, excepting that T. Sullivan. a seaman, fell overboard, and was drowned.' The ship was quite healthy at the above date. The names of the Officers who died from the brain fever which developed itself in October and November, after the Tweed left St. Jago, are thus particularized, to prevent unnecessary distress among those who have surviving relatives on board that ship:—Mr. Crawford, son of Lieutenant Colonel Crawford; Mr. West, son of Mr. West, Surgeon, of Poole. Mr. Napper, Surgeon; Mr. Hyslop, Schoolmaster; Mr. Simpson, son ofS. B. Simpson, Esq. of Babworth, Itetford; Mr. Aldham, son of Capt. Aldham, R.N. Mr. Thornton. son of the Right Hon. Sir E.Thornton ; J. Windsor, Midshipm ofs servant, died on the' 30th of October.—Mr. Napper, the Surgeon„died of an inflammation of the bowels. Another instance of 4ie scrupulous attention of his Royal Highness the Lofd High Admiral to the claims of meritorious officers and their descendants, has been recently evinced. In the year 1781,Liene. M'Douga►l, of his Majesty!. cutter Flying Fish. • on the Downs sta. lion, captured a French vessel, mach superior in forte , and number of men, for Which gallaot conduct the Fly ing Fish was immediatelfrated as a sloop of war, and Lieut. McDougall was made,a Commander in the same vessel, and. at the peace in 1783, promoted to the rank of Post Captain, and, after fifty-six years of active ser- vice, died a Vice Admiral. On his Royal Highness's visit to this post, a grandson of Admiral M.Dougall presented a petition to the Lord High Admiral, through his maternal great uncle, Admiral Drury, ►tating his grandfather's services, and that the petitioner yaw an orphan, and desirous of serving his Majesty. The pe tition was graciously received ; and, on Monday last, the young man teceived an appointment as a Lieutenant in the Royal Marines. COURTS MARTIAL —Monday. the 3d instant, a Court Martial was held on board his Majesty's ship Viceroy, Captain Sir Michael Seymour, Bart. K.C.B. President. to try Lieutenant Raymond Evans, cf his Majesty's sloop Badger, on a charge prefaced against him by Commander Charles Crowdy, of the said sloop, of a breach of part of the 22d Article of War, in disobeying his (Commander Crowdy's) orders relative to a proposed alteration in birthing the men, when, after a minute in vestigation of all the circumstances, the Court declared that the charge had not been proved, and did adjudge Lieutenant Aivans to be fully acquitted. Tuesday last, a Court Martial was held on board his Majesty's ship Victory (Sir .Michael Seymour, Bart; K.C.B. President), to try Commander Charles Crowdy, of his Majesty's sloop Badger, on charges preferred against him by Lieutenant Raymond Evans, for unoffi cerlike, ungentlemanly, and oppressive conduct to the' Officers and crew of the Badger. Captain Crowdy is to enter upon his defence on Monday morning. The Hasty schooner (for whose safety strong appre hensions were entertained), arrived at Madeira on the Oth of February, and sailed again on the llth, for the Cape of Good Hope. The Sapphire, 28, Captain Henry Dundas, the only ship of war at Spithead, is expected to sail about Wednesday next, for South America. The Duke of Yolk steam packet sailed this morning with passengers for Lisbon. Rear Admiral the Honourable Sir Charles Paget, is appointed to. succeed Rear Admiral• Plampin in the, command of his Majesty's ships stationed on the coast of Ireland. Capt. M. Frederick Fitzhardinge Berkeley is appointed to command the Semiramis, the flag ship on ►hat station. • St. Patrici, the tutelar Saint of Ireland. was born in the year 371, in a village called Bonaven Tabernia, said to be Kilpatrick, in Scotland, between Dunbarton and Glasgow. He died at the advanced age of 103, at Soul Abbey, in the county of Down. and was buried, according to most accounts, at Down, but respecting his burial place there is nothing certain upon record. A day or two after the close of late Assizes at Ayles bury, one of the visiting Magistrates of the gaol was accosted by a prisoner named William Green, who said he wished to ask his advice; he had been sentenced to six months' imprisonment for one offence. and to trans pottation for life for another, aftd be wished to be in formed whether he was to serve the six months' imps sonment before or after he had been transported ? The worthy Magistrate told the impudent fellow that he thought the latter would be preferable. The first sen tence on the applicant was passed, Mr. Baron Gannow not knowing that there was another indictment against him for burglary. Jamaica Pipers of the 18th January have been re. ceived. On the 17th the town of Kingston was much alarmed by fire, which commenced in Thames-street, and threatened at one time the most serious conse• quences ; but by the speedy arrival of engines, a good supply of water, and the active exertions of the inhabitants, aided by the assistance of the military, it was speedily checked, and the fire put out. The Arab transport had arrived from Cork in 42 days, with detachments ofd's, S3d, 77th, and 91st Regiments. LORD NORSORY—When his Lordship was told that Mr. Spring Rice was to be sent out to Calcutta, as Secretary to Lord W. Beutick, he observed—" Send Rice to India I 'tis as bad as-sending coals to Newcas.tle. The following is. the loss of lives reported on board the Ann and Amelia transport, bound to Malta, with Government store', value about 60,0001. wrecked near Lisbon:-1 Captain of Marines, 4 Master s Mates, 1 Midshipman, Davies, ---Peak; SO marines, 40 of the crew, and 17 passedgers.
