L'IliAL L O.4RDENS.- Though the weather was rather unfavourable last night, yet these Gardens au' acted a considerable as semb.lage of rank and fashion. The Anniversary of the Duke of Yogic's Birth-Jay was celebrated with a ,rand Military Fete, and tlie entertainments com a prisedall the various novelties which had been pro. t;ticed on the more i nportant occasion of his MA jESTV'S Anniversary, together with the addition of an interesting Billet in the Venetian style. The de vices were all of an appropriate character. The trees vere hung with emblematic flags, and to the south of the Orchestra ; vere seen, in vivid lamps, the words, " The Duke of York and the Army." In the fire works was exhibited a bust of his Royal Highness en circled with the words—" The Duke of York, the Soldier's Friend." Tte whole display wised off with peat eclat.

The hall in the evening, at Sore's Rooms, was very brilliantly attended by all the Fashionablet in the his asserted by nautical men that the French can not blockade Cadiz by sea. In September the Levant wind begins, and, when coming from the eastward, the blockading squadron cannot touch a single vessel. In October the south-westers prevail, and then the French will be unable to keep their cruising ground, and will be glad to seek shelter in Gibraltar, and to get out again they must wait for a Levant wind. On the 10th instant a vessel was dispatched from Cadiz to Vera Cruz with 325 pipes of brandy, 1 1 08 ditto of red wine, 105 boxes of raisins, 500 jars of oil, 30 barrels of almonds, as part of her cargo, which certainly shews no great scarcity. TERRITORY OP Povars.—Notwithstanding the at tempts which have been studiously made, of late, to condeal the deplorable results of the emigration to this quarter, we learn with regret, that the unfavour able accounts received about two months agn, by ' way of Honduras, fell short of the truth in desctibing the miserable condition to which the deluded emt- 1 grants had been reduced, and, consequently, that the letters which have recently been publidieJ as coming ' fum the Poyais settlers must be either positive fabri cations at home, or framed abroad for the purposes of deception. It may, however, partially relieve the anxiety of the friends of the settlers to know, that on their destitute situation lazing made known at Hon duras, the Chief Magistrate, Mr. BENNET, dispatched a schooner to Black River, and, in one trip, it, the be ginning of May, brought off 106 men, women, and children, in a state of destitution, and perishing under the noxious influence of the climate. These, we be lieve, were part of the emigrants who sailed from Leith in the Kinnersley Castle, in January last. At a second trip the schooner brought away the remainder of the people, together with Colonel Hata., the Go vernor of Poyais, and the effects of the emigrants. Every attention and assistance, which humanity could suggest, was paid to the unfortunate people on their arrival at Honduras, the sick were placed in the Hos pital, and all, in short, one way or other, supported and provided for.—Glasgow Courier. Much damage appears to have been done last month in the United States by lightning. The schooner Mariner, from Charleston, was struck by lightning, off Old Point Comfort, on the night of the 11th ult. at eight o'clock. John Pedro, a Portuguese,' was struck to the .deck, and survived only five mi nutes. The Captain, two mates, one passenger, and all the crew were knocked down, and remained senseless from five to ten minutes, the pilot also was struck in the mouth by a splinter and laid prostrate. Fortunately no one was seriously injured but Pedro. The foretopmast and fore top-gallant-mast of the schooner were shivered to splinters, the foremast con siderably damaged, the jib torn, caboose broken to 'pieces, and five planks of her deck torn away.—On the same evening the blacksmith's shop of Mr. Fair child, in Stratford, was struck with lightning. When the shower commenced Mr. Fairchild was sitting on a chest, in his shop, but not thinking it safe, he went out, and had not proceeded more than three rods be fore the chest was struck, a nd blown to atoms : the light ning also struck a button-ball tree, before Mr. Mar shall's door in Stratford, On the same day two cows were killed by lightning, belonging to Captain Brew ster of Black Rock, . . MARVELLOUS ESCAPE. -••• Last week a deaf and duMb lad, employed as a cutter at. the Flint Glass Work, Greenock, met. with a singular accident, to which he narrowly escaped falling a sacrifice. While at work, his apron or some other loose portion of his apparel having come in contact with one of the h0ri...1 zontal shafts of the drums, and by some means ad- 1 hired so it, I.e was instantly drawn in, and twirled' round the shaft longitudinally, exhibiting precisely the position of a roast- on a spit 1 The shaft working: at a distance of scarcely a foot from the ground, and there being not much more vacant space, on either side of it, destruction seemed inevitable ; yet the pocr lad, after having made repeated revolutions, in the icourse of which he was divested of every article of his wearing apparel, excepting a fragment of his trowsers, was at length flung behind the shaft, from which he emerged in a state of nudity, having sus tained, in addition to the fright, only a few slight braises, and having had his skin somewhat lacerated by the ungentle operation of the machinery in de- , robing him.

It is impossible to set bounds tothelove of distinc tion, or disputes concerning precedence; of which we have a memorable instance in the account given us. by Colonel Munroe of amain) , in the army in India, under his command.. Havingfoundit ißdispensably necessary to punish some of the ringleaders, four were ordered to be tied to the guns, and the artillery officers directed to « blow them away." Just as the dreadful sentence was going to be executed, foul. gre nadiers stepped forth, and insisted upon it that as they had always had the post of honour, they were strictly ixtitled to be bloirm away, ,first ! The others therefore were untied, and the grenadiers blown away accord-- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING . AT 7ArrLPRS-AiL* ie.
