Thu, will he done by mounting live tiers ut guns, four in each tier, that being the number tier stern is calculated to present ; from these will be bred thirty ur terry rounds with a double charge of shot, and it is thought that this trial will be sufficient to' prove whether the round stern is equal to the shock of a conflict of long duration. This experiment will be made in Lung Reach, and the calibre of the metal will be 3t pounders, long guns. .His itoyal Highness will be accompanied by the Alemhers of his Council. 1 lie t CUMBIKLAND attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace, yesterday morning. - Prince ',hop iLD a rite, tAtned a select party to dinner yesterday, at Alatlborough•street, Pall 3Jall.

In the afternoon a party of Ladies knd Gentlemen, seven in number, went out in a pleasure boat, for tht purpose of enjoying an excursion up the river. The water ran very high, in consequence of the recent heavy rains, and when the Party arrived at the ferry, at Bathampton, such was the impetuosity of the eddy, caused by the weir at that place, that in attempting to turn the boat, it blind with water, and three of the party, Miss hinaux, Alias DAILY, and Mr. Ilowwan, lost their lives. • --- A few days ago the premises of Messrs. Sitairtni and Mstseam., booksellers, Stationers'-hall -court, were burglariously entered. The thieves forced au entrance by wrenching the iron bars over the cellar.

The Galatea, 42, Captain Sir Charles Sullivan, Bart arrived on Thursday, after a quick passage from Malta, having sailed thence on the evening of the 4th inst. Na varin, Modon, and Alex.rndria,were under blockade, by the ships of this and the French nation. The Russian squadron, which was expected to be reinforced by six sail of the line from the Black Sea, had proceeded to the Archipelago. The Ocean, bearing the flag of Vice Admiral Sir E. Codrington, with the ?Etna and Infernal bombs, were lying at Malta. Tne French Admiral de Rigny was at Smyrna. The Warspite, with some French ships, were cruizing off Navarin; she was shortly to proceed to ./Egina, to communicate with Count Capo d'lstria. The Glasgow and Dryad were off Alex andria ; the former will return to England on being relieved by the Blonde. The Isis, with the broad pen dant of ,Sir Thomas Staines, was still at Carabbsaefol lousing up, with great activity, destruction to piracy in that quarter. All accounts agree in stating that a very c , ochal feeling exists with the Russian and French Officers towards those of Great Bri•ain, but it is under stood that between the Russians and French there is not evidently that friendly understanding which marks the intercourse of both with the English. During the short period the Galatea was at Alexindi ia, on the occasion of conveying Colonel Craddock, for the purpose of hold ing a. communication with Mohammed Paella, the officers and men generously sub , cribed a sufficient sum of money to redeem from slavery one of the females, included in that hapless number, who were cruelly torn . from the Morea by the Egyptians. The Galatea spoke the Talbot, on the 7th, on her passage from Marseilles to Malta, and called off Algiers, where the Consul corn• municated that an Algertne vessel had captured a French Frigate, by surprise, and carried her into Bona. The Galatea it is expected, will convey our Ambassa dor, Lord Heytesbury, to St. Petersburg)). The Challenger, 28, Captain Fitzclarente, may be hourly expected from Lisbon. She sailed from the Tagus on the Bth hot. • Arrived this morning the Onyx transport, Lieutenant Decceurdoux, Agent,-with stores end invalids, under charge of .Dr. ; Milletsfeertri Malta, after a long passage ; and the Amity transport from Deal, The Spartiate, 76, Captain. F. Warren, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Lord Aurelius Beauclerk, K.C.B. ar rived on Thursday, from Lisbon, after a tedious paisage of 22 days, having left the Tagus on the Ist inst. The Spartiate has brought home, besides her own comele. orient of Royal Marines, that detachment of the corp which garrisoned Fort St. Julien, and which were wi;hi drawn - from the Fort on the 29th ult. Hii Lordship struck his flag this afternoon, and the Spartiate came into harbour, to be docked and refitted. The Lyra, 10, Captain Kingcombe, and the Falcon, 10, Xieetenant W. F. Lapidge, arrived this morning from Plymouth. They bring about twenty thousand pounds in specie, which the British merchants shipped. on board these vessels on their leaving the Tagus on the 13th inst. This shipment is not to be construed into any alarm on the part of the British merchants, as to the security of their property at Lisbon, but to be consi dered in the light only of a mercantile remittance.— The Terror bomb, Captain D. Hope, was hove down at Lisbon for repairs. The Falcon will come into har bour to be paid off, and her crew turned over to the Spartiate. Thursday arrived the Southworth transport, Lieutea ,nant Sanders, Agent, in . 33 days from Bermuda, 16 of which she has been struggling in the Channel. Arch. deacon Spencer and Lady, Lieutenants Nugent and Mackenzie, of the 96th Regiment, Mrs. Hire and fa. mily, and Mrs. Hutchinson and family, are among the passengers by her. She brings home returned stores of various descriptions, with naval and military invalids, and a few pardoned convicts.

There was great bustle observed yesterday in the po litical subscription houses at the West end of the town, in consequence of the disunion in the Cabinet. The rumours of changes were various and contradictory. Much importance was attached to the visits of Ministers to each other, whose countenances were watched by the Physiogaomists, who, however, drew such inference from the map of their minds as favoured the hopes and the wishes of the political Lavaters. The information that Captain CLAPPERTON'S faithful attendant brings home, must encourage, I should sup pose, the belief that the exit of the Niger is into the Bight of Biafra, or Gulf of Guinea. I told CLAPPFAITON some years ago, that the exit of the Niger must be, so far as I was able to judge, into the Bights of Benin and Biafra, and that I was led to suppose so from the im mense number of rivers that discharge themselves into the Gulf of Guinea from Accra to Cameroons, there being no less than fourteen, and some of these, partica• lady the Rio Volta, Benin River, Cape Formosa River, Bonny River, New and Old Calabar Rivers, the River Cameroons, navigable for 50 miles up, for ships of 4.00 and 500 tons., The distance betwixt Rio Volta and Cameroons is upwards of 200 miles, and from Cape Formosa to Cameroons a distance of 150 miles. The country is a perfect alluvial soil, and from this I judges) that there must be the exit of some large interior river. I was borne out in this idea by the Kings on the coast,' who universally said to me there was a larger river in the interior, and that they had seen many individuals who were natives, and lived on that river, describing it at least two miles broad; but as they had travelled over land they could not say what direction this sea (as they called it) went in.—Later signed 11.

The wager was 100 goinetet, and boats started front Blackwad for Gravesend, about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, having in company the Royal Sovereign Steamer, and upon their lee a small flotilla of cutters. The Don Giovanni got the start, and led upon an easy tack until towards Erith, when the Fairy got to windward, arid overhauled Wei- easily, and thence onward kept the lead, having every tack set, ..nd a strong gib sail, sufficient to encounter a North Wester. She passed the buoys at Gravesend first, and led on the return without the slightest press of sail. When off Woolwich a heavy squall came on, which well nigh had capsized the boats, but they brailed up in time to escape so alarming an accident. The breeze freshened and blew so strong, that even a man.ol.war's fore-sheet would scarcely hold her tackle, Irktcb less the frail jib-sail of a fourteen ton cutter. However, the ,Fairy contrived to weather it upon a lee tack, and the poor Don was almost blown ashore; but nevertheless. the crew kept bee steadily qn, but always in the wake of the Fairy, which boat ar rived first at Blackwall, about half-past four o'clock in the aftecs noon, and' having passed round the buoy off' the Docks, hauled up. The Don Giovanni soon after passed, and - sailed on her larboard tack round all the buoys, and claimed the wager, beesase the Fairy did not perform the same distance. An appeal was made to Mr. Ligon', the Commodore. in the steamer, and he decided that the Fairy bad won, because the terms of the match were " round any of the buoys at Blackwall--not round them all." A great deal of moaty. depended upon the match. The Dou Giovanni was the favourite at 2 to 1. TILE FANCY.
