Mr. Estroa—As many improvements have often taken place, and many grievances redressed in the various branches of the public , eervice,by useful hints throws out through the medium of the prms,you will, I feel assured, not refuse the insertion of this letter, if you think that by its publication you might be forwarding a just and deserving cause, in drawing the attention of the compete's' andiesillesio the subject I ant about laying before ybu, and which bebnprotteeted with-one of the last acts of a Prince whom loss win 'belong mourned, cannot, I should hope, remain unattended to. His Royal Highness, our (ate much lamented Commander-in- Chief; desirous of rewarding the long services of a clam of Officers on whom be was pleased to bestow the appellation of meritorious, ob tained his Majesty's commands, and 'the General Order, dated Horse Guards, 27th December. it 126, was the result of his Royal Highness's kind interposition. The old Lieutenants were offered promotion with unattached rank, but with greatly diminished no; sources orsztatente. The acceptance was optional It is true. but those at all tonversant with military matters, are well aware that ia such cases, what is offered and meant as a boon, cannot well be reined. Thus have upwards of Fifty Lieutenants been raised in rut, but wit► less means of adding to the consideration that that rink bestows. The difference between the old and new rate of Wilsey is indeed materially great, for the one offers a reepeCtable ewipetesey, white the other barely allows of the common comforts Ml(rugal life. especially when a family follows with its little at tending claims. The change so earnesty desired Is looked up to with Coofidence, and it is An „hailing the return of his Grace the Duke of Wittotetort totle nonmisand oldie Army that that feeling is indulged.

The venerable judge, Mr. Lockwood, officiated for the 52d year, and appeared to perfotm the difficult office with as much alacrity as ever. It would be unjust to pass ever the munificent conduct of the Corporation. Their liberal and provident attention to every thing that comprehended the comfort of the visitors and furtherance of the sport is beyond all praise; in this respect they surpass every sporting town in the kingdom. It is gratitying to find, that their liberality ha" been in "nine degree requited by the sale of tickets for the grand stand, which has produced them about .6",900, and would have bees considerably more had the stand been capable of holding more than were crammed into it en the St. Leger day.

The tradition of the neighbourhood is, that after the defeat at Sedgemoor, the Doke and Lord Lumley quitted their horses at Weodyeats, when the former, disguised as a peasant. wandered hither. He dropped his gad an a g.b o s jo a paa.tield, which was afterwards found, full of gold piece; and btought to Mrs. Uredale, of Horton. One of the finders bid fifteen pounds for half the contents or value of it. The ' Duke went on the Island, as it is called, a cluster of small farms in the middle of the heath, and there concealed himself in a deep ditch, under the ash. When the pursuers came up. a woman who lived in a neighbouring cot gave information of his being some. whets betbe Island, which was immediately surrounded by sot ' diers, who passed the night there, and threatened to fire the neigh beuring cots.

They were afterwards resumed, on a stupendous scale, by Louis XVI. and carried on till the Revolution, when their pro gress wu Interrupted; since which they have been going en with. great spirit, and two immense basins, building slips, and the decks connected with them, have been completed. The basins ate ex cavated out of granite rocks ; one is thirty feet deep, and the ether sixty feet deep; the ships are launched into, and docked out of, the smaller one, which will contain about sixteen sail of the !me.— The larger basin is for the Sect, when ready for sea, in which twenty-four sail of the line can be moored with the greatest ease, by means of anchors inserted in the granite, and, when wanted, can be at sea in a few hours. The two basins communicate with each other, and with the harbour. The covers over the dips and docks are on • grand and magnificent scale; they are erected on granite piers, with the roofs constructed on a must excellent prin• ciple, and executed in a very superior style ; they are regularly slated, each roof having a number of rows of light., each row con taining twenty-seven windows. There are two three•docked ship, and two ships of 100 guns ortvio decks, building; they are consi dered of a most beautiful form, and are of very large dimensions.
