Wednesday the detachment of the 13th, which consisted of two companies, left Greenock .for Stir ling, and was immediately succeeded by a company of the Ist . Rifle Brigade. After the Royal Review at Hounslow on Friday, the company that were invited, and the whole of the military on the ground, repaired to the Barracks. where a breakfast was given on the occasion by the Officers of the 12th Royal Lancers. Covers were laid for 800 persons, under magnificent tents in the. form of a crescent, on the lawn of the Barrack-yard, in the centre of which was placed a beautiful large pavilion tent, decorated with laerel, and lances with flags tastefully arranged ; a platform was likewise raised for dancing. The company were of the first rank and distinction; the tables were covered with the most costly wines and a profusion of correspond ing delicacies,-which being interspersed with orna ments of exquisite taste, afforded infinite gratification to the delighted company. Notwithstanding the number of persons assembled, the grea7test comfort and regu l ar i ty prevailed. Nothing could exceed the' • politeness and attention of the Officers lo their guests ; after having partaken of the refreshments, elegant groupes of Ladies and their gallant partners repaired to the tent appropriated for dancing.— Waltzes and quadrilles were kept up with the great est spirit to a most excellent quadrille band, in addi tion to the fine military bands of the 10th and 12th Regiments, - which played upon the lawn. Nothing could equal the splendour and brilliancy of the scene, and all present expressed themselves in rap ture at the agreeableness and magnificence of the entertainment. Among the company present were: ins Grace the Duke of Wellington, Duke and Duchess of Leeds, Marqnis and Marchioness of Worcester, Earl and Countess I3esborough, Lord and Lady Duncannon, Mr. and Lady Barbara I'onsonby, Countess of Shaftesbury, Lord Ed ward and Lord John Sornerset;• Viscountess Bolingbroke and the Misses St. John, Lord and Lady Gort, and many others of the first Nobility. DUSLGI, AUGUST 4.—Monday last, General the Right Hon. Sir DAVID Baum, Bart. G.C.B. and k.C. Commander of his Alajesty's Forces in Ireland, inspected the 6th (Enniskillen) Drago•ms, at Cort, and the 23d Fusileers, at Ennis; and in the evening arrived it: Limerick. Tuesday morning he was waited on by the heads of the several military departments, and at twelve o'clock, attended by Major-General Ataev, Quarter -Ala:ter- General, and his numerous Staff, reviewed the troops in Limerick Garrison, consisting of a Brigade of Royal Artillery, Lieutenant-Colonel Daantsav: 2d Royal Scots Greys, Lieu tenant-Colonel HAIGCZN; and 79th Cameron Highlanders, Lieu tenant-Colonel Buovrxa. These distinguished Corps went through their evolutions in a most masterly style, and to the high approbation of the Coustaxinta-in-Cnntr. Sir DAVID Baum inspected the 63d Regiment, at Mainzer, on Thursday last. The 2d Dragoon Guards have arrived at Newbridge Bar racks, near Naas, from the County of Longford. The Bth Dragoons, from Gort, replace the 2d at Longford. The Ist Dragoon Guard; from Dundalk, are to replace the 6th at Gort. __ _ __ _ The Ist, or Royal Dragoons, have marched from Dublin to Donaghadee, where they are to embark for Scotland. The 7th Hussars, from Scotland, are to replace the Ist Dra goon Guards at Dundalk. The 7th Fusilecrs have left Niblin for Londonderry, to re- place the 41st. The 77th are to succeed the 7th in Dublin. _ _ The 'end Hi g hlander:, at Birr, daily expect an order for 1 England. Monday se'nnight, the Galloway Regiment of Mi litia, commanded by Colonel DAVID MArvisti, younger, of Cardoness, was inspected and reviewed, at Kirl:cudbright, by JOHN GORD,HI, Esq. of ken-, more, his Majesty's Vice-Lieutenant for the Stewartry, who expressed his unqualified approbation of the corps, and of the high state of discipline which it has acquired. Wednesday se'nnight, Major-General Ra - rNaLL, attended by the Staff of the western district of Scot land, reviewed the Yeomanry Cavalry of Stirling shire, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel MURRAY. The day was very fine, and the sight most imposing, the Park being crowded with well dressed people, of all ranks, from every part of the County ; and there being upwards of three hundred Yeomen pre sent on the field. The Corps went through its va rious evolutions with great steadiness and precision. The General expressed his high approbation of the appearance and movements of the Corps, and also noticed the great neatness of the appointments. The General, his Staff, and many of the respectable Gen tlemen of the County, dined with the Officers. Before the Regiment commenced their usual drill, Colonel MURRAY formed the,Regiment into a square, and presented Lieutenant DAVIDSON, of the Kilsyth Troop, with a handsome silver salver, given to him by his Grace the Duke of MoNTnosf, in token of approbation of his conduct, and of that part of the Troop under his command at the affair of Bonny :mfr. In presenting this piece of plate, Colonel MURRAY addressed himself in a very impressive manner to Mr. DAVIDSON, and to the Regiment, and' to which Mr. DAVIDSON made a very suitable reply. Some excellent Racing took place after the Review, over the Lee Race Ceurse in the King's-park. Such well-contested heats have not been seen there since the Caledonian Hunt. The first Cup, given by Captain Beinnto, of the Stirling Troop, was won, in gallant style, by Mr. JonNSTMell fine bap mare, rode by Dr. Amason, which afforded excellent sport. - The second Cop, given by Captain Nicnotsox, of the Falkirk Troop, was run for by Mr. Rove and Mr. Rtar.ocis, and won, after a well-contested heat, by Mr. BOYD. The third Race was won by Cornet Duraor ' of the Campsie Troop, and Mr. Smuts, of the Calcreugh Troop, being a pri vate Match, and, after a keen heat, was won by the latter,' by about a horses length. The third Cup, given by Cornet Banat, of the Falkirk Troop, was rode for by several Gentlemen of that Tray, and won by Mr. Bein• The fourth Cup, given by the Celcrengh Tro6p, to be rode for by members of that Troop, was, after a smart heat, gained by Mr. Preza COWAN. Several oth_r well-contested Matches closed the sports of the day. On the Thursday morning, before the Troops were marched to their respective quarters, the following Races were run, so much of the preceding day having been occupied by the Re view, and the Races above noticed, as to prevent them being finished on that day. The first Race was for a Subscription given by Lieutenant DavinsoN, anti the Kilsyth troop, which, t.rter a hard Match, was won by Mr. Nous.. The second Cup, given by Sir &kunst. STIRLING, and the Camp aie Troop, witr keenly contested, and won by Lir. Catams, by about ha . lia ruck. The winners of these two last Cups nett started for a purse given by Licutenznt Ds vmsoa and Cornet Deems?, which was won easily by Mr. INGLIS. One of the best contested Races that we have almost ever witnessed, was then rode for by Cornet Dowcor and Mr. l'ea -1.6,11, both of the Campsie Troop, for a purse.— Mr. u n.oe against the Troop,—and won by Mr. Pleases. This Race (a Two-mile That) afforded much interest, and was *sly won by half a head. _ _ Several other private Matches were then run. aR of which afforded excellent amustment ; and at ten o'clock the troops marched off for their respective quarters, highly delighted with the transactions of the last test days. .• .• -..- aim - ... .

The appointment of Captain Grant, from the 78th Foot, to a Company in the 9th Royal Veteran Battalion, as stated in the Gazette of the 15th ult. has not taken place. Lieutenant-Colonel John Boscawen Savage, of the Royal Marines, has been reinstated in his rank in the Army. The Contractors for building the new Barracks, near Mornington-place, adjoining the Regent's Park, are now actively proceeding with the work. The ground for erecting a handsome Crescent, near the same spot, is also laid out. A number of workmen are now actively employed in taking down the houses in Suffolk-street and Cock spur -street, in order to prepare the ground for the building the new street, which is to lead from Pall- Mall to the front of St. Martin's Church. The improvements in the Orange Grove, at Bath, are now nearly completed. The obelisk has been repaired - , and surrounded by a handsome palisade; and the whole area gravelled, at the expense of the Corporation. The old wall on the east side has been pulled down, and replaced by an elegant iron railing. The temporary erections ow the north side of the West entrance to Westminster Abbey, - intended to he let out for spectators to view the procession at the Coronation of his MAJESTY into that venerable pile, are taken down, by order of the Dean and Chapter. The Dean and Chapter of Westminster are woe fully disappointed in their expectations of emolu ment from Westminster Abbey, on the ensuing Coro nation. Their claim to the profits arising from the letting of seats, and other accommodation to strangers in that place, is disallowed nearly in Coto, and it i s ascertained that they have a right to nothing more than the chancel, including a passage to the chapel, necessary to the performance of their religious func tions.—Colonel STEVENSON, on the part of the Board of Works, has taken possession of the Abbey, of which he now holds the keys. The portion now al lowed to the Dean and Chapter does not exceed one tenth of the whole. They expected originally to de rive a profit of £20,000. Monday, the first stone of a. Free National School, under the patronage of his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, and of which the Duke of Bo:irons is President, was laid by Sir Tsicsuis BELL, attended by several Governors, on a large open space of ground, in Perry-street, near Brewer-street, Pancras. It is to contain, when erected, 400 boys ; and when com pleted, a similar one, of the like extent. is to be built on the opposite side of the street, for the instruction of the same number of girls. It appeared to the Committee, out of 1012 families, comprising 3889 children, between the ages of six and fourteen, there were only 1131 receiving daily, and only 672 receiv ing Sunday School instruction, leaving 1565 wholly tvithout instruction; besides 312 above the age of fourteen, who cannot read. A great number of La dies and Gentlemen were present, and a liberal sub scription was made. There was scarcely a person on the ground that did not subscribe sixpence. On the stone was engraved, "Bloomsbury and South Pancras School,lB2o. Several - coins were placed under it. Last week, as S. Knipe, seaman belonging to the SPARTAN, at Plymouth, was stn iking the top-gallant mast, he accidentally fell, into the launch on die star board side of the ship, and expired immediately. A stray spaniel killed a hare, a few days ago, on Mr. BISHOP S manor, of Weston, in Dorset:hire, which, on being opened, was found to contain the extraordinary number of six young ones, all alive!

Cur South Sea traders, who, during hostilities betwee l this country and Spain, have been subjected to fee greatest di ffi culties and privations, will now be inLlX pendent of Spain, or any other Power posses,ing South America.

The diatip,hts . and scundings taken ha the discoverer are in the possession c.f our (ieee:r.- nient. The following brief account has been givea of the discovery: " A Mr. Slang, Master of the William, of Blythe, in Nreth umberland, and trading between the trio de la Plata and Ch..., in endeavouring to facilitate his passage round Cape Horn, ka t year, ran to a higher latitude than is Lsual in such voyages, e 1 in lat. 62. 30. and 60. West long. discovered land. As circum stances would not admit of a close examination, he deferred it until his return to Buenos Ayres, when he made such feather observations as convinced him of the importance of his discos, t•, On making it known at Buenos Ayres, speculation was set ta the alert, and the Americans at that place became very :mak. s to obtain every information necessary to their availing Lbw.. selves cf a discovery which, they saw, was pregnant with benefit to a commercial people. Captain Swint was, breves -el, ton much.of an Englishr.'an to assist their speculations, by a'. fording them that knowled:Te of his secret, which it was so ne cessary for them to possess; and was determined that his na. country only should enjoy the advantages of his discaver ; on his return voyage to Valparaiso, in February last. he deem:: I as much time to the developement of ft as was conststeut w .h his primary object, a safe and successful voyage. " lie ran in a Westward direction along the coasts, either 'f ' a Continent or numerous Islands, for two or three haedtad miles,-forming large bays, and abounding with the vermeil whale, seals, &c. ble took numerous soundings and hearia:., draughts, and chart of the coast; and, in short, did everyl7trag that the most experienced navigator, dispatched purposely fc: the object of making a survey, could do. He even landed, and in the usual manner took possession of the country fcr his So-.. 'reign, and .named his acquisition NEW Scum &at-exam). Tie climate was temperate, the coast mountainous, rppareetiv nair habited, but not destitute of vegetarian, as firs and pines wc-e observable in many places ; in short; the country bad, upon t; e whole, the appearance of the coast of Norway. After havirg satisfied himself with every particular that time and (beer ' stances permitted him to examine, he bore away to the Novi, and pursued - his voyage. " On His'arrival at Valparaiso, he communicated his discovery to Captain Snisastr, of his Majesty's ship ANDROZIACIM, celci happened to be there. Captain tinialeare immediately felt the importance of the communication, and lost nut a moment in making every arrangement for following it up; he immediately dbipitched the William, with Officers from ,he Allir/ROMACIiF; and in this stage the last letters from Chili left the Exp diner, with the most unguiee expectatiou of success, and ultimate ad vantages resulting from it; and, if we are correctly infertned, a fully-detailed narrative has been forwarded to Governmere " On taking a cursory view of the charts of the Southern At lantic and Pacific Oceans, it will be seen, that though Captala Coos penetrated to a much higher latitude, and consequeetty drew his conclusion from observing nothing but vast mountains of ice, it will be seen also, that his meridian was forty-five de grees further to the West of New South Shetland, leaving a vast space unexplored on the parallel cf 62. between that ad Sandwich Land, in longitude about 28.
