THE ARilf Stveral detachments of the Royal Pembtokeshiie Militia, from Haverfordwest, have arrived at Mil lard, as a row-guard at the quarantine station at that port. • The following Regiments of Militia are embarked at Dublin for England : Radnor, Merioneth, West moreland, Lanark, and Nottingham. The 70th Regiment of Foot (Earl of Survout's) is ander immediate orders to proceed to Canada. The Nottingham Militia, now on its march from • Dublin, will be at Chelmsford on the 14th of this month. The 9d Battalion of the 9th Foot will soon be ready for service. The 4th Battalion of the Royals, under Major Nucota, are going on service immediately. The 2,1 Battalion of the 71st Regiment, now quar tered in Glasgow, are very fortunate in getting re cruits ; they will soon be an effective Battalion, and ready for service again. The 21st Regiment (2d Battalion) now quartered at Fort George, in Scotland, are going on service. The North York Militia, cosnmanded by the Right Hon. Lord DUNDAS, has arrived at Glasgow. The Cambridge Mtlitia, under Liitt t..Colisnel VACHELL, have marched from Belfast for Armagh ; they are replaced by a strong detachment of' the East Middlesex, under Lieut.-Colonel GinsoNs, which, with the Louth Militia, under the Hon. Colonel Fosrza, composes the garrison of Belfast. It is always gratifying to observe distinction paid "to merit, and to find services, especiolly of a public nature, duly appreciated. We have pleasure in sta ting an instance of this sentiment, in the tribute paid last Wednesday to Major-General J. G. CLAY, late Commanding Officer of the Manchester District, by a respectable body of his friends, inhabitants of Man. chester and Salford and the neighbourhood, in the offer of an elegant Sword of the value of 100 guineas, and a handsome Service of Plate of the value of 500 guineas, as a testimony of their estimation of bis cha racter as a gentleman, and conduct as an officer, du ring a residence of eight years and upwards in the District. The Gentlemen assembled at the Star Inn in Manchester, at twelve o'clock, and proceeded from thence in carriages to the General's house in Leaf square; and upon being introduced, JEREMIAH FILL DING, Esq. at the desire of the other Gentlemen, ad dressed the General to the iollowing purport:. " orl.lxitar. CLAT.---We sre depute.!, Sir, by a mar respect able Body of our Fellow I ownsois 11, to cougra , ulate you upon your recent promotion so the rank of Major-General; yet at the same time to express our en-cern that we shall consequently be depriv. A of your future services in this District, where you have for so many years commanded with the greatest honour to your -1 self, and the highest satisil.ction of the neighbourhood. " Under ercumstenees of considerable 4,fficulry," and often 1 with very circumscribed means, you have happily quelled iusur- I rections without any acts of severity; and m•nuicird mobs have tou^d themselves obliged to own your lenity and forbearance. " Permit us, therefore, to request that you will honour us by the acceptance of a Sword and a Service of Plate, in recoil. ction of these important services, and also of the high esteem we en tertain for you as a Member of r , ociety. " May success attend you in the higher services in which you will hereafter he engaged; and whenever your sword may be drawn in the defence of your Country, we feel assured that the expectations of your Manchester It fiends will be realized to their fullest extent, and that we shall have the pleasure of eongratu berg you, on your return to England, upon brilliant and impwant services against the open and avowed enemies of this highly distinguished Country." To which the General . made this reply : "G eN mem EN-I return my.slocere thanks to you, and the highly respectable Body whom you represent, for your congratu lations on my recent promotion, and fur the kind concern you are so good as to express at my consequent removal from the Staff of this District. " It Is particularly gratifyirg to know that, under the trying and unhappy circumstances to which you allude, my conduct, in the painful execution of my duty, was such as to nmrit your approbation ; - ansi the reflection that I was instrumental in re storing tranquillity to Manchester and its vicinity, will always afford me the most heartfelt satisfaction. " I lament my inability to express in language commensurate with my feelings, the due sense I have of the high and distin guilied honour conferred upon me by your sumptuous presents of a Sword and Service of Plate. They are sure and insaimahle proofs of your frisak; and I accept of them with mingl.d ' emotions of gratitade and tridei—Grrtili.l for such obvious marks of your elt:an, pseud that you cieem tne worthy of than. " Permit nit to cfftr you my warmest wishes for your health, happiness, and : prosperity, and to thank you once more, not only for the signal honour you have done me Mia lag, but for the up#urne kludge:: I have experienced at your hands during my residence amongst you, will& has snide an impression on my mind that can never be effaced. "-When oecasionshall present itself for drawing my sword against the avlawed enemies of my King and Country, I trust I shall neither disappoint your capectations, nor falsify your good opinion of me." - - - - The occasion was graced with an elegant assan blage of Ladies, who united in testifying their appro bation; and, watt, the Gentlemen, partook of a choice cold collation provided by the General ; and the scene was further enlivened by the attendance of the Forfar shire Band of Music, playing God save the King," " Rule Britannia," and other patriu tic airs. An affray took place, on Saturday morning, in Fleet-street, between a par: of the Guards, who had taken a deserter from a neighbouring man ufactory, and the populace. An attempt had sevei al times been made to rescue the prisoner, on his way to the Savoy ; but, aided by a few of the mob, the boldiers got on well until they reached Bouverie.street , when the escort was attacked, back And front, and, after a stout resistance, the captive was rescued. One of the Guards had his nose laid open in a shocking Loanner, and others received bruises. A strongly Ladle aperient and chalybeate Spa has been discovered at Melksham, Wilts, which hats been analyzed and brought forward by Dr. Guars, of Bath. It contains nearly seventy grains of saline ingredients in a pint, which are chiefly the murk ttes of Soda and Magnesia. The infusion of galls strikes. a purple in the water when fresh at the spring. Iu doses similar to the Cheltenham and Leamin3ton waters, it actszn the bowels gently, safely, but de cidedly, and it is found that this aperient effect is not attended with the debility which usually results irom other cathartics. It has produced the hap piest effects in many bilious and scorbutic habits, and many cases have occurred of a perfect cure from snch complaints. It produces no heaviness on the stomach, and it in no way whatever disagrees with the constitution. Without being disagreeable to the taste, it acts cn the bowels in even less quantities than othei waters of the same description. .1 7 WifilLE • FISVER r. AIiERDEEN, AUGUST 4. The Resolut.on, of Peterhead, left the ice on the 'llth July, ant arrived in P :erhe.td Bay on the Ist of August.

Monday list, arrived here, the Middleton, BAXTER, I from Davis' Straits, with six fish, above 90 tons of' oil. Reports the weather to have been very boiste rous at the Straits, and the fishing unfavourable. A great many vessels were eh/an when she left the ice. Early in the season, the Middleton lost one of her boats by the stroke of a fish, by which accident two of her crew were unfortunately drowned. The Laurel, of Hull, lIAS been unfortunately lost by being jammed among the ice. Crew saved. By the William, KEILAH, of Hnlf, which passed yesterday, we have the following additional particu lars relative to the Greenland fishery, to which quar ter this vessel went, though she originally sailed for Davis' Straits. She left the ice on the 9th of July, with nineteen fish, previous to which she had seen most of the Aberdeen vessels ; but dues not report their success. Thirty sail of vessels were beset in the ice, for seven weeks, at the beginning of the season. The Jane of Aberdeen ; James of Liverpool ; and another vessel, had got clear, at the last accounts. On the23d July, she spoke the Nonce of 74 guns, Captain J. RAISER, cruizing in lat. 67. 12. N. Jong. 2. 36.

The Mary Ann of Dim(lee, which sailed foi .the Straits, had been obliged by stros of weather, to bear away for Greenland ; and, when last seen, had got fish—number not known. On Sunday, the Horn, VatexTtNE, Gf Dundee, with two fish, passed through the ilay ; by which vessel v.-have the follawing account of the Davis' Straits ti,hety up to the 3t)h of Jane. Same day passed the Estri.ige, CultisToPti:o, a clean ship ; having, it is said, lift the ice, underprotest against one of his I%qt-sty's ships c . f war, for impressing it considerable numberot her hands, while engaged in' the fishery.

The Triad, of Banff, &AKER, arrived at this port on Monday, from Gretnland, with seven t6h. DUNDEE, AUGUST o. The unwelcome intelligence is ►e,eived of tl►e ge neral failure of this season's whale * fisliet ies ; a failure from which the ships of this port have not been ex empted. The Horn has an ived here from Davis' Straits, with only two fish ; the h►iendship, with only one ; the C tlypso, with three ; the Estridge, with none. The Master of the Horn reports, that the Advice had two fish, and that the Tay was a clean ship, at a late petiod of the season.

The ques tion involved the rights of water courses. Much interesting evidence was given on both sides—several 'of the first engineers attending from Dublin, when,' after a elear and able charge front the learned Judge, the Jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiff of £lB9O, with costs. Wednesday se'nnight, some wretched incendiaries set fire to the straw stacks on the term of Sheep-hill, ,county Derry ; and on the 21th, they also set fire to the barn, stable, and coach-house of the same farm, by which the barn and stable was completely consumed. Wednesday, as Mr. Henshal, of Finglas, was re turning from Dublin, between two and three o'clock, r. rt. lie was met by two men, who seized his horse, compelled him to dismount, and having laid him on the ground, they proceeded to rifle his pockets : they first took his watch, but before they had time to take his pocket-book, in. which were 40 guineas, Mr. Pem berton, a son we under✓'tand of Alderman Pemberton, I appeared on horseback at the turn of the road, toge ther with some carts conveying stones from the quar ries at Finglas-bridge. The fellows instantly made off towards the canal, leaving Mr. Henshal on the ground. -A pursuit immediately commenced, when. one of the fellows, stumbling in a ditch, was overtaken and secured; but not before he bad thrown the watch into the canal. The other fellow, taking a different direction, unfottunately escaped. POLICE.

Fiir the remainder of the m• ney they gave a draft upon a Gentleman in the town, payable at sight; and the bargain being fully arranged, thee aajourned to a public house in the fair to chink. Whilst there, one of the farmers suggested the propriety• of the Welchmen going to the house of the Gentleman on whom the draft was drawn to ascertain that all was right, and offered to go with him. Tile offer was acceded to, and they went out for that ph rprse, but were soon separated by the crowd in the f The Welchman continued his way to the Gentle man's house, and, on enquiry, soon ascertained, th at the draft was not worth a farthing ; h e h astene d t taelf to the public house, expecting to find the parties there, but found no one except his own friend, tit e other farmer being gone into the fair to sell his hors ?.
