We have received, by a private channel, the St. Jago Gazette of the s:h July, from which we take the fol lowing a t cle : FROM Tilt POSTSCRIPT TO TriE ST. 3AOO GAZETTE. At a Meeting of the Honourable the C..mmissioners of Accounts, which took place at their office, in King yesterday, several papers were laid before them, relating to the e;actioa of duties on vessels by the Or. ficers of the Custom House, under instructions from England, and totally unauthorised by the laws cf this land. The consequences have been, that the Receiver General, conceiving it his duty also to levy the duties hich he is empowered to do by law, several vessels are about to leave the port of Kingston rather than pay such double dirks, without discharging their cargoes, which will be a great and continued loss to the revenue, until remedied, and a severe injury to the trade of the island. The Collector of the Customs stated to the Meeting, that he was compelled to confot m to the instructions he had received, and the following document was laid before it : " The b. ig Golden Grove arrived in Kingston har bour, on the morning of Saturday, Ist July, and was reported the same day at the Custom-house, and has remained since without being able to discharge, in con tinence of the Collector refusing to grant warrants, until the duties formerly paid to the Receiver General a-e paid to him, and which are, at the same time, still demanded by the Receiver General. Every endeavour has been resorted to at the Custom-house and Receiver General's office, to arrange, so that the vessel may go on discharging, by offering to pay the whole duty to the Collector, on his promising to pay over three-fourths, before the vessel sails, to the Receiver General ; the other one-fourth has also been tendered (making an ad dition of '25 per cent. chargeable to the vessel.) But both insist on having the full amount paid into their re sf ective offices. The vessel, therefore, awaits the decision of the Com u issioners of public accounts, to whom it is referred, whether the Receiver General may allow the vessel to clear without paying the additional duties? Otherwise, the vessel must immediately leave the port, by which the revenue will safer by the loss of the duty parible on the cargo, consisting of 850 barrels flour, 4 barrels linseed oil, 8 kegs chewing tobacco, 30 barrels leaf tobacco, BM. hogshead staves, 150 bags corn, 100 hams, '2 boxes soac."—The Board soon afterwards agreed to the following Resolution:— That copies of the several letters and documents laid before the Board (regarding the present system of collecting and appropri ating the Custom-house duties), be transmitted to William &hillock, Esq. for the information of his Grace the Governor, with a parti cular request that he would call his Grace's early attention to the embarrassments which have been occasioned to the trade of this 14acti, by the measures adopted by the Cheers of his Majesty's Customs, under the instructions they have received from England. The ev il consequences arising from the demand of double duties being made evident, by the statement laid before the Board, relating to the brig Golden Grove, and applicable, not only to the case of the vessel, but to other vessels now in this harbour, and at the out-ports, as welt as to such as may soon be expected to arrive; and must pro 4h.,te, if not speedily remedied, a great defalcation in the revenue, ard especially in that part allotted to the subsistence of the troops." A gereral opinion prevails that Doctor BonnowEs, the Dean of Cork, will be the new Bi•hop, in the room of Doctor WaNsonton. Dean Bunoowas is at present at Cheltenhant. The inquest 01 the Ward at Ct•e4p paid a morniq visit, this day, to the publicans in that Ward, in order to examine """ ineantres, agreeably to the new regulation, and found all thi Pt...kraus good stun and true. THE XI,N"G. Wsannosi, Aue.l7.- r Disk yesterday an 1 the dr, before hi. MA.. uary was occupied with puAlic business at the Itnrsi Lodge, and dia not take his usual airing. The visitors of his Nlassary on both days left the Lodge in pony phaetons, and enjoyed the dblightful drives in the Great Park, and in the evenings dined with bis Niaassrr.—Yesterday, the Marchioness of Sationsv ' Lord Sr. Ilsmens, and Mr. an! Mrs; A. Semmes, took their departure from the Royal Lodge. The remaining part of the Royal Household, with their friends, were last evening entertained with a Ball and Supper in the same style of splendour as on Monday. SAILING MATCH. Yesterday, the following yachts sailed or the Sacond Silver Cup and Cover given this year by The Thames Yacht Club—Don Giovanni, Waterloo, Royal Eagle, Mermaid, Will-o'-the-Wisp, and the Venus. They started precisely at half past one, from Blacitfriars Bridge, to go round a bdat moored off the Powder•hnase, off Wandsworth Meadows, and bask through Waterloo Bridge, the first boat la to be the winner. Tbe Royal Eagle took the lead at starting; but was soon over hauled by the Don, and the Boats passed Vauxhall in the following order--Royal Eagle, 1 ; Don Giovanni, 2; Venus 3; Waterloo 4; Will-o'-the.Whiy, 5; and Mermaid, G. Beyond this, the contest was entirely between the first three boats; for, on arriving at Battersea Bridge, the other three boats were so far astern that they bad not the shadow of a chance. On arriving at the distance boat, the Don rounded before the Royal Eagle about two boats' lengths. The Venus was then three boards astern of the Royal Eagle, with a head tide, and In consequence of which, when the Venus rounded the distance boat, she was at least half a mile astern of the two preceding boats. On the return. the contest excited great interest between the two headmost boats. each alternately taking the lead. Considerable bets were laid, and the odds varied so fre quently, from th:: change of situation of the boats, that 6 to 4 was offered and taken on each of the boats, as they in turn hail the ad vantage. The Veuus, though so frr astern at the distance boat, from her superior canvass, in running down considerably over hauled the Royal Eagle and Don, and had the distance been half a mile further, there is little doubt she would have wltt the Cup. The Giovanni tame through Waterloo Bridge a few seconds only before the Royal Eagle, and the Venus was not more than a rid. note behind. The Don Giovanni won the Cup, throujh the sinsrrior dexterity of her steersman, by getting the wind of the Royal &tee just be fore she arrived at the winning poin:. There was a good breeze during the whole of the m;tch ; and, on the whole, we have teldom, if ever, witne4sed a more interest ing sailing match. MILFORD, Auousr 15. Our town has been extremely lively tinting the last week. On the 9.h inst. the Duke of Gloucester ars ived at Pembroke Dock-yard from *fealty, and entbatked for the first time on the waters of Milford H tsen, at tended by Major . Foster, Major Bowen, E. Laws, Esq. and Captain Laws, R.N. His Royal Ilighneis towel past the Stack Rock and Thntney Lland, and was met outside the harbour by Captain John Mar.hall and Ed ward Chappell, R.N. who paid their respects to the Royal Duke, as Heads of the Quarantine and Packet Establidim nts. On the arrival of the naval Sovereign iteam.ves.el from Waterfcrd, she was immediately placed in attendance on his Royal Highne , s, who sub sequently laat'ed at !Lain Point, and r a double Royal salute. Having examined the Guard of the 71st Regi ment, and inspected the For t, the Duke again embarked, amid the.enthusi - stic cheers of the inhabitants of II kite, and proceeded to Milford, where he was welcomed in a similar manner by the assembled multitude. After visiting Milford Church, his Royal Highness gave a dinner at-Pritchard's Nelson Hotel t 9 his Suite, and to Captains Marshall, Laws, and Chapp.:ll, R.N. E. Laws, Esq. and Major Bowen. The following mornirg the Royal Duke Tatted Milford, and proceeded by the way of Haverford Vest and Picton Castle to Carmarthen. On the evening of the Regatta, upwards of seventy Gentlemen sat down to a surnp:uous dinner provided by Mr. Pi itchard, at the Nelsen note], who deserves the greatest credit for his at rangements, which gave general satisfaction. Captain J. M.►rshall, CM. in the Chair, supported right and left by Lord Cawdor and Sir Jlhn Omen; Vice-Presidents, Captain Chappell, It.N. and Bowen Robertson, Esq. R.N. After the cloth was re moved, the Piesident, in a most animated speech, pro ! posed " The King," with four times four, which was drank with the greatest enthusiasm, under a double sa• lute from vessels in the hat bour. Then followed : " Duke of York and the Army."--Tune, Duke of York's Mara. " Duke of Clarence and the Navy."—Tuna, Rule Britannia. "Success to the Milford Regatta. '—Three times three. Tune, Of she goes. Lord CAWDOR, in an excellent speech, expressed his high approval of the mt a,ures that bad already been adopted upon the present occasion ; avowed an heredi tary attachment to nAut;cal matters; and declared his full determination to support the Milford Regatta, be. cause it appeared to he conducted with strict propriety, assd founded upon the best principles.

Sir John said, he hoped the present would prove the forerunner of a series of similar Meetings, and that being now better aware of the objects contemplated, he should hereafter give annually a much more liberal and decided sup. port to the us ful kind of amusement which had so auspiciously commenced. He felt an equal, if not a supetior interest in promoting the welfare of the county, to that so nobly expres•eJ by Lord Cawdor, because it was here that his whole patrimony was situated, and it was from the county of Pembroke he derived every honour which he pos essed.

Asian& SPORTING IN rELuctxcE. BETTING-ROOM TATIIIRSALL'i, Avert 17. The betting yesterday was more general, and at higher figures than has been the case for some time ; indeed it would seem as if a detirmination existed to make a better geld, sev e ral o uts id e h orses beißg backed to a heavy amount. Mr. Forth's 3:ly, Shnrtwalst, was brought, 35 to 1 being taken several times in hundreds; and 33 to 1 being the elating price, she was offered againg his other three, but not taken. Not a single bet was taken about Belzoni, although any one would have jumped at 5 to 2; nor et as Bala mite more fortunate, owing, of course, to the low state of the odds.

The arguments in support of the bankrupt's petition to super ede his contmission were this day concluded. The case wss part heard ye.terday. Mr. Linn?, in behalf of Mr. B :nnett, the f ither-in , law of the har.krupr, described this to he a most un gratlful transaction. Mr. Bennett had been the bene ' 'actor of his snrrin•law, and had made him a banktupt from absolu►e ne,:essity. It was stated that during the time the binkrnpt conducted the Poole and Dorset Ga zette, he took advertisements at the pace paid to Go vernment for duty, aad put the same into his pocket, leaving his father t , i hear the expenses of the Paper. The rolitics of the bar krupt having made the Piper ob noxious, many of the subscribers withdrew their sup pm, and Mr. Bennett recommended his son to sell the concern. The bankrupt went to Bath to procure money to purer:lse new type, and not being snc,.essful consented to the selling of the Paper. An information having been soon after filed against him, Mr. Bennett made his son in.l4w a bankrupt. ft Ns as denied that the object was to deprive hins of legal redress by an action, as stated in the proceedings of y. sterday. The LORD CuAscrxi.on •aid be would read all the affidavits be. fors tie decided whether an order wade by the Vice-Chaucellor, in the ease, was right or wrong. MAWMAN AND OTHERS V. TECO. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defend nt from publishing the London Encydopcedia, on the ground that many of the articles and illostra• tions had been pirated from a wok publi.hed by the plaintiffs, called the Encyclopadh Metropolitans. Some days since the LORD CHANCELLOR directed the defendant to make affidavit: as to the eiteut matter had b.eu taken from the Encyclopedia Aldeopolitana and introduced to the London Encyclopaedia. Mr. Hottxst this day produced the affid wits of Dr. Styles and Mr. Curtis. conveying the intormati•.n his Lordship required.—The affidavits stated, that the lexi cograrlizal mat er tak n from the Encyclopedia tile tropo.Qana did not amount to a thousandth part of the matter .n the London Encyclopedia. The plaintiffs' work, :ccolding to the affidavits rI . the Gentlemen above.named, contained a vast number of w ,, rds and illustrations taken from cite Edinburgh Gazetteer, the C`)ernie Works of D . E.vre, o: Gla , g , w, ani o.her Sc• tch Works of Science. It was .erintended that the n hint had merely availed liinult of the ri s lit authors claimed of compiling lesogr iphic works. 1 was the custom to copy articles horn , ther works with. out restriction. The d• fend..nt had only followed the example of the plaintiff, who had ex racted words with the greatest freedom to adorn h s work. Mr. Horne mentioned several words in the Encyclopaedia Meteopo litana, and pointed out the boas from which they bad been copied. The defendant, in fact, had not pirated the work of the plaintiffs, but their work was a piracy from others. Air. Cnixo followed on the same side. The LORD CHANCELLOR sa d he was unwilling to de lay the parties, but he could not decide without more information. It was said that the defendant had a rigt to take materials from wr rks winch had taken the same materials from former work.. That was a new case for the consideration of the Court. The question was, whether the Court should not direct a trial to ascet Lain to what extent the law was with the plaint•ff . lithe plain. tiffs had laid their hands on the Edinburgh Gazetteer, and other Scotch works—(A laugh)—they night have no right to ask this Court for an Injunction. It would be difficult to get a general injunction with-ut bringing an action to try their right, the defendant keeping an account of the sale of the woe k in the meantime. Mr. Hoamt said he would millingly submit to that proposal. The Swami GSSIMAL objected. The LAD CHANcsr.cos then intimated that he would hear the remainder of the argument to-morrow. We have rec ived the St. Petersburgh Journal to the 2d instant, and private letters of the same date. hey the latter we learn. that EDWARD C. Dr•anowt, El. our Secretary of Enib issy at the ltassian Court, and Mi nister Pienip , tentiary, during the ab.ence of Viscount STRANGFoRo, had left the capital for Moscow, the Bli tish Consul, General Sir I). BAYLEY, officiatirig as Charge d'Affaires ad interim. Their Imperial Majesties departed for Moscow on t'te la h ult. Yesterday morning, a fire was discovered in some of the upper rooms of the Horns and II .rseshoe pttblic house, in Capel-street, Whitecha l el ; but the timely ar rival of the engines soon arrested the progress of the 'devastating element; . 4 considerable quatitity of furni tore was, however, destroyed, as well as the apartments. A numb( r of thieves, as usual on these occasions, assent . - bled, and appeared to reap a tolerable harvest. Last night, a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Lloyd and Hodges, the wine•merchants, 163, Flee, strett, which, from the peculiar situation of the spot where the fire appeared—immediately adjoiniug dif ferent courts, and every house of them densely inha bited by numerous families, created the utmost alarm ughout the neighbourhood. What greatly added to the consternation of the inhabitants, was the dread of the devouring element finding its way into the large cellars of Messrs. Lloyd and Hodges. The speedy arrival, however, of the parish and Assurance Office engines, and a plentiful supply of water, prevented such a calamity; but the flames continued for some time with fury to the imminent danger of several houses.' The fire was in about an hour got completely under, .confining the damage done principally to the premises where it broke out. Several families, however, in theit anxiety to save their little property, haal many articles a of their furniture totally destroyed by removal. BRIG 11 roN, 41Cousr 16. -The answer to inquiries at the Pavilion to day has been, that "Ms Royal Highness hat passed a good night. and Is better." Sir Henry Ilalford and Dr. M'Gregur left the Palace this morning, about nine o'clock, to return to town. Mr. and Mrs. Canning left their names at the Palace this morn ing as early as between eight and nine o'clock. The former, soon after, set off to return to town. The Marquis of Clanricarde is still absent. Several Messengers orrived to Mr. Canning yesterday, and ' one or two after his departure to-day—they are all gone hack. This bring the anniversary of the Duke of York's birth-day, the church bells have been ringing, flags flying, and private entertain ments common in the town. Mrs. Canning, and a long list of fashionables, have given interest and brilliance to the Chain Pier to day. LOSS OF THE SHIP VALETTA. By the accident of the Antelope, East India packet, Capta:n Wilson, being wrecked is 1783, the PeHew Islands, thirteen in number, wete discovered. By a :ie. lar, and late event of the loss of the s'iip Valetta, 30) ions burden, a private Indianian, commanded by John William Phillips, an island and reef of coral roc k, in lat. 21 deg. south, long. 143 d eg . e ast, hi t he r to un known, wete discovered on the l'hh of Ja l y, 1825. It appears, frr.m a Bengal paper, and fr run private letters, that the Vale ra sailed 1r lir Por: Ja. ksor, New rout t Wales, on the 13th of Jane, in halla ; hal a prosperous voyage till the 10li of July ; but on he evening of that d y, the wind suddenly shifted, and blew very strong r-ra the north, which oTrasi , med a heavy Breakers and a f beirg des tied, every exertion to wot k the ship off were II a le, bt t a tremendous swell baffled the most skilful eff rris, and she struck so forci bly on the reef as to occasion the loss of her rudder. —With much hazard an anc or was got out, and many articles thrown overboard, which so effectually Boated the vessel, that they svccersfully brought her into a safe cove, with no less than eight feet water in her hold. By hauling the ship up, on e xamination, it was found that any attempt to repair such material injury would be deemed nugatory. There being no alternative, she aas reluctantly abandoned; and a ship's boat (conjectured the launch) was equipped in the best manner their situa tion would allow ; and after a sojour nment of 92 days on the island, they proceeded on their destination to Calcutta, where they safely ar rived. No mention ?teas been made of inhabitants. There can exist no doubt of the accuracy of survey of this discos , : ry, Mr. Philips being an int-lligent and eminent Gentleman in his pro festion, and a Lieutenant, in the Royal Navy. MANCHESTER, AUGUST 16. The General Committee for the Relief of t"e Poor met this day, according to Llvertisement, to receive the rep irt of the Sub Committee, and to hear the sugges tions of Mr. Hyett and Mr. M'Adarn, on the practica bility of employing the adult poor in improving the rub lic roads. T:te report is very hug, the following is an extract :—" It is with infinite conct ro for the distress which wilt certainly ensue f i a many of their fellow cies tures, that the Sob Cummi tee find themselves compel led to call for your sanction..;f a measure apparently indispensable—the announcement of the discontinuance of the weekly distribution of prnvi ions—to the great numbers who, still unable to obtain w"rk, look to the accustomed dispensing of your bounty as the chief, if - ni.t the only probabla, means of support for the coming week. This event will be a most serious calamity, and happy would lour Sub Comm i ttee have !sten, caul.' they have devised a ny plat by which it might he averted. An ether subscr . ptioo to any crnsiderab7e amount, appears to chefs), as to every one stith whom they converse, a hopeless eapetiment in the present state of commercial affiirs. Some valuab!e uggestions for employing a portion r f the adult population, in im proving the public roods, have, indeed, been °detect, from a Gentleman of high authority, on inch subjects; but the operation of tl;is measure, even upon the most extended scale, must be very limited, in p ropottinn to the necessities that surround us. Yet, as it may afford important relief, by giving empl , yment to considerable numbers, who must otherwise he contracting a hab t of idleness, they t (IA it will engage the se. ions attention of this Committee, and espect illy of those Gen:lement who have it in their patter to carry the proposed plan into effect." e General Committee hay-, accordingly, resolved, that t!:e distribution c( ace on Friday next, and oat no• tice to .hat eff ct be git en at the differ. nt provision de pots. They have also resolved to solicit meetings of the Trust. es of the adj ining road., for the l urpose of conferring on the plat f.r employing the poor. This annourcement, of ce (sing to give relief, could not have occurred at a worse moment than the present, when a variety of circumsta. ces contribu'e to create an escitement, in the minds of ti.e working chives. This being the 16. h of August, a procession is sp ken'of to commemorate the anniver.ary of the celebrated meeting in the. year 1819. To-mot row, the publ c meeting takes place at the Manor Court ItJom, and the wit day the public notice will be gisen of there being no more food to he distributed by the It lief Committee. I men:ions these ercumstances to acc , .unt for ebullitions of popular feeling which you might possibly hear of during the nest week; but I do not apprehend any se, ions interruption of the public peace. Attempts are still making in several of the surroundiog manufacturing districts, to get up public meetings, aid some few meetings have been privately held. There were two men taken up last Saturday at Stockport, for having political pamphletsin their possessien, but they were discharged on Monday, after an admonition from the Magistrate.
