DUMFRIES, Jusr 4S. • Friday a melancholy shipwreck occurred off the Isle of Whithorn. The George and Agnes, Wright, master, was steering for the harbour, in company with the sloops Regina and Nancy ; the sea at the time was run ' ning mountains high, and a black and heavy cloud came sweeping along like a tornado. The Nancy and Regina prepared for at by close reefing their tepsails, but pow Waight, who was too late, was taken while in the act of doing so, and thrown on his beam-ends, in which state be laz for about two minutes, and then went down for ever, whed all hands perished. It is thought that Ms cargo (freestone) had shifted, and had thus ac celerated their dealuctinn, which burden, being Wit nessed by the two •essels above referred to, who passed over the spot-a few minutes after, when no trace of them was to be seen, was also witnessed by two people from the shore, from which she was distant only three miles, and steering in with a fair wind. Captain Wright is much regretted here, as he was a constant trader for some time with coals ; and the dreadful catastrophe is the more shocking, as it is well known there were a great number of pas s engers on board at the time : re port estimates them variously at from eight to thirteen ; and it seems they were all in the cabin at the time of the dreadful calamity, as nine of them were on deck a minute or two before. The following are the names cif such as are ascer tained to have been actually on board, viz. :—Wright, and two seamen ; Hannay, a mason, of Whithorn, and his two daughters ; an old man of the n Arne of Steenson, and his son; also belonging to this part of the country, a son of John M'Kie's, of Kirkconner, and a son of Thos. Crawford, in this town—all of whom, with the excep tion of old Steenson, were about 18 years of age, in full vigour of youth, and bloom of health and strength.-- Who the other passengers were it is not known ;.report states that there were other females. We trust it will not turn out so, as the melancholy catalogue is already sufficiently frightful.—Durafrica Joitrnal.

A Bows FLIGHT ts HOLSORN.—Mr. Gardiner, who has lately rebuilt the Bull Inn, at a very considerable expense, erected the figure of a Bull in front of his house. The boll alarmed the Commissioners of Sewers. Mr. G. had notice to take his bull down, but he refused to , comply with their 'mandate. Accordingly, they pro- cured ladders, &c. and mustered upwards of fifty men, for the purpose of taking him down. Mr. Gardiner, being acquainted with their intention, prepared the means of defeat. The assailants came opposite Mr. WI house ; the moment they began to make preparations, to the ass nishment of ever y one present, the bull moved majestically to the top of the house. When there, he displayed-a Bag, bearing the inscription, is ! don't in trude now," to the no small gratification of many who witnessed the ascent. EAST INDIA HOUSE. . Yesterday a Special Cenenil Court wai held, at the desire of-nine Proprietorre to• take into consideration two motions to be submitted by Dr. Gilchrist, relative to certain rules for, the qualification of Writets, which the Ceort of Directors was, by a recent Act of Parlia spent, empowered to frame ; and also with relation to the expediency of assimilating the currency, in which the Civil and Military Officers of the Company are paid. The Mon. Colonel STAIIHOPZ begged to propose a Question to the Chairman, before the Court went into the immediate business of the day. It was generally understood, he said, that 1,000,000 guineas were monthly expended in the Burmese war; he therefore wished to knew whether it was the deter mination of Ministers to continue Lord Amherst in his command, in spite of the universal feeling which prevailed against him? Those 1,000,000 guineas constituted as well the debt of England as of the Company, and the infotma that which he sought was that in which every man in the country must feel an interest. The CIIIAHISAN said, that the Court was special for other pur poses, and he was not therefore prepared to answer for the inten• lions of Ministers, with whose secre:s he was unacquainted. CIVIL AND MILITARY PAY. Dr. GiLCHRIST, on rising to make his motion, claimed a patient hearing. He deprecated the idea of Wind submission to the will of the Directors, who were, in fact, but the creatures of the Proprietary ; and he had no notion of bowing down hefore them as so many . golden calves—(Much laughter).—Odposition to public measures was but too generally stigmatized with an odious name, as if invariably unfounded in principle, and designed for mischievous purposes. This was a false persuasion indeed, and its ittjustice was plainly marked by. the conduct of the Opposition Members in the late House of Commons, who, though steadily or posed to Ministerial acts which they did not deem con ducive to the public good, were yet the most zealous supporteri of those recent measures which did hodout to his Majesty's Ministers. He then complained of an insult which he had received from a Chairman of the Company (Mr. Maijoribanks), before he (Dr. Gilchrist) became a Propri t►r, and when he WAS merely an hum ble functipnary in the Company's service. This deter mined him to strive might and main to gain a Pro• prietor's right, that be might have an. opportunity of confronting that Chairman, who, when lac ed with the insolence of office," ought to have rscollected the moral which might be gleaned from the fable of the mouse and the lion. By reference to the Act of Par liament, it appeared that the power of Proprietors was more considerable than was generally imagined. Nine Members were empowered to require the Directors to summon a Meeting, and in default of such summons on the part of the Directors, the nine Members were ern• powered to convene such Meeting themselves, to do business, to hear complaints against Directors, and after certain formalities to displace Directors, if ne cessary.--[Here -Dr. Gilchrist was called to order, as occupying the time of the Court u ids matter quite irrelevant and foreign from his motion.3—Tne motion which he had to submit was, That con-, sidering the manifold advantages of reconciling the feel ings and interests of the 'arias Public Departments and Official Communities at the different Presidencies, in Btitish India, with each Om, in every branch of the service, this Court reconsinenth.ihat ,tt,te different Go vernments there be instructed' to abolish immedinely the odious praceci of paying the civil telvhnts in sicca rupees, and the army in a less valuable currency, called :mat rupees, to prevent all discontent from the con tinuance of this unreasonable distinction among the King's or Company's Civil, Military, and Naval Func tionaries in future, by the whole receivink their re spective allowances in the same species or equitable rates of the local coins where such payments are made." Now he anticipated being called a leveller for this mo tion, but he by no means deserved the name. He ad mitted.that the civil power ought to have an advantage over the militaiy in all countries. Glory should be the great object - of the military officer, who was to seek 4 , reputation even in the cannon's mouth." And he had moreover a chance of obtaining prize money, which could not by possibility fall to the lot , of a civilian. It was however expedient in the highest degree to do away with all cause 9f heart-burning between the two branches of the service. and them could not be a more invidious distinction than that of paying one in a more valuable currency than the other. To instance in a very possible case—the son of a military Captain might be sent out in a civil capacity, and thus the father would be placed in an inferior situation to his child. The natives were by no means inattentive to those strange preferences, and by the flattery which followed the undut lire-eminence, the heads' of these pro-consuls, could any one imagine that a man became a better civil servant for being puffed up with pride? By the difference in value between sonat and sited rupees, the -civil servants gained an advantage of 4i, and in some insiiiiies - of 9 per cent. over the military. Again, the *siateOf exchange often reduced the value of a rupee in -the hands of a military officer, who wanted to make a remittance to his friends in this country from 2s. 71d. to Is. 10d. These hardships were severely felt by the arrOy. !Old the odious distinction was rankling at their Warts. What was thus abstracted from an officees pay would be sufficient at least to maintain one servant for him: Influenced by these considerations, he would press the resolution which he had stated. The Hon. Colonel STANHOPE seconded the motion. The discussion, he thought, must at all events be useful. They might learn from history that armies took the lead in rebellion, as in France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Russia; and they ought to profit by the lesson. He would recommend the principle of quiet promotion, that the soldiers might be kept in good humour; and the assimilation of the currency as a measure likely to be agreeable to all parties. Incongruities, such as formed the present subject of complaint, as long as they lasted, would keep alive discontent in the military mind ; discontent led to mutiny, and mutiny to the fall of empires. The CHAIRMAN opposed the motion, on the ground of the inconvenience which the discussion must occasion to the service. An investigation would shew that there was no injustice to complain of, for the military mere entered the service on the express condition of receiving their pay according to its present rate. Before a change could take place, it was necessary to make out a case of injustice, and this had not been done. The Court might be misled by the terms of the motion, which seemed to imply that the two branches of the service were paid in distinct coin, a civil officer receiving a sicca when a mi litary officer received a sonat ; but this was not the fact. When the Company came into possession, sonat rupees were the currency of Calcutta , they of course consti tuted the pay of the army. Afterwards sicca rupees, , when coined at the Mints, bore various values, according `to the data n e coinage , tewsequenee some I . ap - persons gained a most inigabets prat. In the year 1792. Government intended that there should be but ode currency, ami they established a rule that lb. 'ices rupee of the 19th year of the Emperor's reign should be the standard throughout their province.. When a progress was made into the district of Benares and the higher provinces, where there were two provinces, the whole army was paid in stunt rupees. It was true that when they were paid in sicca rupees in Bengal, a de• duction of 41 per cent. took place, because of the greater value of the rupee; and if another rupee of still greater value were now coined, it could not be expected to give it for a sicca—(Hear, hear).—As to the loss arising from the state of exchange, in the case of remittances, it should be recollected that that question did not depend on Government, but en the commercial reldtions be tween India and this country. It might as well hare been said, when sicca rupees were at 2s. 10d. here, that the military were overpaid—(Near, hear).—So strong was his conviction of the mischief which mast arise from the discussion, that he would move the previous question. A Director seconded the motion. Mr. Ilunc„ in a speech of some length, entered into the details of the question, expressing much satisf.tetion at the explanation given by the Chairman, and concluded with requesting Doctor Gilchrist to withdraw his 'Radon. The Casisiaxau ezVpaed•-himself favourable to the design of establishing nee Currency throughout [oda, and said that the de sign vsas now on feat; After an address from Captain Massimo, complaining of the great preference sbewn to the military over the civil service, which was met by a lull explanation from Mr. Team; Dr. Gitzstass: cemented to withdraw hi. motion. On an understanding that the roles regarding the education of writers would speedily be promulgated, and that no monopoly was designed, the Dr. also waived his other motion which had reference to that subject. The CNAIRMAN then declared a Resolution of the Court of. Di rectors, acquitting the Commander and Owners of the Royal George of all blame with regard to the loss of that verse% and Fri day, the 4th of August, was appointed fee confirming she IfWoks don by ballot.
