S. The private trader Sir Edward Paget, Capt. Geary, R. N. has put into Plymouth..with foul winds, from Bengat'and the Cape of Good Hope; left Ca'cutta the 4th of February, and the Cape the 23d of May. The following is an extract from our Coiresponde:t's lette: at the latter place:— CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, MU 41. The Wm spite. 74, Rear Admiral Gage, Captain Car toll, C. B. and Volege, 28,. Hon. Captain I).tudas, ar rived this day from England, la-t from Teneriffe in eight weeks ; also the Hind, 20. Ciptain Futneaux, from Plymouth, and the Cyrene, 20, Captain Alexander Campbell, from Portsmouth, last from Rio Janeiro. , These ships are Al bored to the East Indies. We have received news of the Burmese having made some suc cessful. movements since they recommenced hostilities ; and that Sir James Brisbane was so extremely ill as to be obliged to give op the command of the naval opera tions, leave Rangoon in the Boadicea, and go to Pinang. We have no Colonial news of moment. Things go on very smoothly with our Lieutenant-Governer (Bourke). There have been lately two curious trials, which have excited some attention, because they ori ginated in a practice which requires revision. Both were for a breach of the fifth article of the Port In structions, about giving bond twelve hours after an choring. Captain Willens, of the Deitch ship Concordia, was acquitted ; but Captain Purdy; of the brig Gwent, y, was,,convicted. The ship Sir Edward Paget (which t ikes this letter) has been nearly lost in Sinson's Bay, having broken four anchors, and nearly drifted cn shore. The Dutch vessel Concordia has had a thoiough repair, having been nearly lost in a hurricane near the Mauritius. the Castle Forbes is discharging her cargo into the brig Coventry : it is not expected that the Castle Forbes will prove worth repairing. The &mann& 26, Capt. Dunn, is lying here, with the Southworth transport, tatting condemned stores, for England. Commodore Christian, in the Oaten Glen dower, and the Helicon, Captain Arland, are gone to visit the Islands of Mauritius and Madagascar. The Helicon lately went am cruise tit Port Natal, and found Mr. Farewell, R.N. and patty, all well. King Chakka was.very kind to them and to the English in general. They are engaged in t he ivory trade. The crew of the brig Mary were building a sloop, of about 40 tons, for the purposes of the trade. The Ifir Edward Paget left Calcutta 14 days before the Sir Thomas Grenville, which arrived on the Bth ult. consequently does not bring any news. She did not touch at Madras, but at Masulipatam on the sth March. Thirty-eight Officers of the Royal Marine Corps, bolding Brevet rank, have sold their Commissions, and retired from the Service.

Two men, named Nighley and Thames, were charged with in decently ex posing their persons by bathing at twelve o'clock on Friday, close to London Bridge. _ _ The Loa, Mws•oa said to the Officer, you don't mean to charge than both with bathing—why, one of them looks as if be had not washed his face these six months. The Officer assured his Lordship he actually saw him in the Water. Why, then, said his Lordship, let them both have a week's exercise at the Tread Mill, and kt that ditty fellow be well washed before he comes out. GUILDHALL. Saturday, a young female, of very interesting appearance, called Badcock, was brought before the sitting Magistrate of this office. charged by her husband, a gingerbread baker, with asnulting him on Friday night. It appeared that Mrs. Badcock was of a very troublesome dis position, so mach so, that articles of separrion had been signed between them for five years; at the same time she was bound over for 201. to keep the peace to her husband and all his Majesty's sub. jects. This salutary bond Mrs. Badcock utterly disregarded, and Lad repeatedly, when intozicated, assaulted her husband. The MActstasas said he sincerely pitied her, but be would dis charge her cm her promising never again to molest her husband. 31 A R LBO SOU G 11-STREET. Saturday, a poor miserable looking wretch was brought into the once, preceded by two street-keepers, one of whom carried, with something like au air of triumph, about one-etch of a truss of straw, whilst the other held in his hands no small quantity of printed papers, the paper being somewhat similar in quality to the bills of a celebrated and infallible doctor. The beadle with the straw stated, that he found the prisoner in Grosvenor-square, with the straw, which be now held in his band, calling nut—" If you will buy my straw, I will give you my book--only a halfpenny, a halfpenny, a straw-who will buy M—This novel mode of selling straw drew together a large mob of persons, and C..iding they were determined to remain, be, lane eeremonie," took the straws:ller and his books into custody. The literary beadle then laid before Mr. Dyer, the counterpart of his companion's bundle. Mr. Drza—.Selling of straw, what is the use, this is quite new tome? Prisoner—l was not selling the straw, I was singing a song. Mr. Dvms—What is the use of the straw, for I cannot discover anything in the book relating at present to the straw? Prisoner-4t is the custom of the trade. Mr. Drica—l want to know what has the selling of the straw to do with the book ? Prisoner—•l did not wish to mention the Lady and Gemman's name, fearing they might be known. The book was then read, preceded by the following pompous title page:—" The military Captain and the naughty Baronet's Lady:" after which it continued to reLste, in grave strains, the late faux pa:. He was discharged on promising not to offend again. Saturday, a young woman, named Margaret Drew, who was tier. vent to Mr. Godfrey Lazarus, High Holborn, was charged with attempting to destroy the house by fire. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Lazarus, that he was awakened between one and two o'clock on Friday morning, by a strong smell of fire. He hastened down stairs, but it was with difficulty he could proceed to the low e r p a rt o f the house, where the fire appeared to have commenced. Ik, however, recollected that he left Mrs. L. in bed and asleep, and before he endeavoured to extinguish the fire, he hastened to his room, where he found his wife quite overpowered by the smoke. He carried her down stairs, where also soon revived. The lower part of the house was then searched, and it was discovered that the fire originated in a small closet under the stairs In this closet was kept the utensils used by Mr. Lazarus at the time of the Passover, and to which no one had access but the members of his own family. A lighted link was found there, which had been placed on a beam, but it .appeared to have fallen on a shelf, which was burnt, and the flames had comm. nicated to other parts of the place. There was no positive evidence against the prisoner that she had placed the link in the closet, but Mr. Lazarus said that, for the last three nights, the prisoner had slept on a sofa nearly over this closet, and she had requested to be allowed to sleep there during the warm weather, instead of sleeping in a more confined room at the upper part of the house. Mr. La- zarus also said, th.t whin he came down stairs, he found the pri soner in her room, nearly dressed. The watchman was then knock. ing at the door. Mr. Lazarus added, that a short time ago, he was alarmed in the middle of the Opt by the cry of " Fire !" and, strange as it might appear, the only article on fire was a table, which stood in the middle or the apartment. Tills circumstance had never been explained. The prisoner declared she was innocent. She was remanded until Wednesday. 1 1 1 1. 1 .1 n HATTON GARDEN. Saturday, Catharine Cowan was brought before Mr. Largo, the 'Magistrate, for stealing some cloth and a blue coat. Site was seen offering the cloths for sale, and, being suspected of *waling them, was taken up. A duplicate was found on her for a cost pledged for four shillings, in Whitman street. A constable traced the owner of the property, who was Mr. Treasure, a tailor, residing in Monmouth street. Mr. Treasure had been in the habit of employing the prisoner as a confidential servant, and entrusted her husband to take work to his own home. A week or ten days ago Mr. freasure went out, and ou his return missed the articles nuw produced, which hr identified as having !belonged to him. Mr. LA IWO asked (or the duplicate, which was produced ; but It did not state where the street was in which the person who pledged the articles lived, or what her occupation was. These particulars were required by Act of Parliament, and Mr. Laing said by this carelessness the pawnbroker had been rendered liable to a line of 1001. and probably might have his expenees stopped when the trial came on as the OW Dailey. The prisooor was fully committed for trial. A lad named lleffkld was brought up in custody of a local con. stable. charged with stealing a coat from the banks of the new canal, near Maiden lane, the property of W. Pritchard, a boy. Mesiteld stated himself to be an apprentice to a watchmaker is Little Ceram street. He had seat for his master to the olliee, bat he bad not come. Mr. Roaaits—Then I shall detain you until he does come; far if this charge is not taken against you, you shall be delivered into his custody only. Wainwright, the eater, told the Magistrate that the muter had cerise, but was gone again, being unable to say anything in favour of • c planer. Mr. Roosos—Tea kt t►e easy go on; if that Is MI character 'lnaba dot mate N eat* %VOWSMP-STREET - • tokeek-iwoker, appeared before Mr. TWTIFOOD, at the Akers of St. Mary, Isliagtuo, Lis wife haring bindle lo thetpultb. horn the statement of Mts.

The Magistrate made an ordst on the defendant for the payment of Se. per week to the parish officers, to be applied in support of his wife. UNION HALL. Two well-known manufacturers of base coin, Anus Clark and Peeve Awn; aviih a woman named S a rah Wood were brought up for final examination at the instance of the Mint Solicitors, who at tended to prosecute. ,There had been three previous examinations, which. as well as the present, were taken with closed don.: and every deter of precaution was used to pr e vent publicity ' being given GO the proceedings. They were taken into custody about the !3d of last Owes (in Red Cross -court, Red Cross•street, Borough,. where they Occupied. small house) by Limbrick, Edwards, and Kirby. A variety sir implements, and various powders used in the colouring, were found in the house, as well' as quantities of base coin, in vatious stages of finish, from the sixpence to the sovereign. Those that were ready for circulation are said to be superior in exe cution to any ever seen, and the discovery was made jest tithe enough to prevent their issue. They were all examined, and proved to be counterfeit, by an inspector who attended from the Mint ; and at the close of the examination, which lasted upwards of an hour, the prisoners were fully committed to Horsemonger-lane, to take their trial at tile next Guildford ASSiZCI. William Pritchard, the boy, said that be was bathing in the canal on Friday ..evening, and tad left his clothes tin the bank, where the prisoner was standing without a coat; shortly after he gut into the water, lie save the prisoner select witness's coat from his other clothes, and, having put it on, waik deliberately away.

Some dispute arose after the last race: the Jockey who rode Isabella complained that the winner had acted unfairly in passing the distance .post, by holding up his *hip, and shouting— " I have thee taut." The dispute, however, after a Considerable deal of cavilling, was considered of no caosequence. BECC LES RACE/. This meeting, as anal, took place on Tuesday and Wednesday I last , but owing to the commencement of the harvest, and a great many families being from the town and neighbourhood at the dil -1 ferent svaterine places, the company was not so numerous as in former years.

It was the property of two very enterprising Gentlemen from Scotl.ind, who had introduced the most useful improveme , .ta in the business. Thursday night, during the heavy storm, many of the inhabitants in the East end of the Town were thrown int• the greatest state of dismay, owing to their kitchens and under apart ments being deeply flooded with water, some of them to a depth of five feet. In one house in Stepney Fields an old woman and two children narrowly escaped drowning, the bed on which they lay being actually floating before they discovered their imminent danger. Their cries, however, on perceiving their situation, brought several of the lodgers to their assistance, and they were with some difficulty rescued from almost certain destruction. During the course of yesterday a number of persons in that direction were ens pluyed in expelling their unwelcome visitor.—At the West end of the Town, several of the streets appeared like so many rivers, and seater flowed from the roofs of many houses into the interior. At .the North side of L ..tbeth•walk the inundation was very greet, and ejected many persons from their beds. The lightning was very vivid, and the flashes followed in rapid succes•ion, but we have not heard that it did any mischief, in consequence of the heavy torrents of rain —The storm extended as far as Dorking. At Leatherhead 'twas truly appalling. Several old men declare they never witnessed any thing equal to it. Much damage has been dune about that part. PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED.
