PREADFOL VOLCANIC ZAUPTION IN JAVA. • - • • •BATAVIA, MARCR 22.—The•Government has re. iefved a detailed account - of the eruption' of the *siolcano Galoengoeng, in October last. In this ter . rible visitation (one of the greatest that has befallen Java within the memory of man) 4,011 persons pe rished, and 114 campongs were destroyed ; 2,983 rice plantations totally destroyed, and 5,361 injured. *The .number of cofee•trees destroyed amounts to 776,795; that r f those which have suffered more or less, to 3.871.742.' Accounts from Canton in China, via Batavia, of January 12, received this morning, state that they have begun to rebuild most of the factories destroyed by the fire in November last ; and that this work goes on rapidly, notwithstanding the high price of mate rials and of wages. The number of houses of all kinds destroyed, including magazines and factories, is 13,480. The loss of the En , :lish Company is a million and a half Spanish, therefore much less than was at first supposed. The loss caused by the fire has had no influence on trade; .:11 imported goods were low, especially cotton.—Dutch Paper. NAVAL TELLIGENCE.

By the Brussels Mail, receivel this morning, we have the following intelligen.:e relating to the war between the Greeks and the Turks : TRIESTE, AUGUST 4. Several vessels from the Archipelago bring news that the Greek Admiralty is at present engaged in preparing for the execution of a very bold project, which may be productive of the greatest advantage to their cause, if it succeeds; but may also be very fatal to the Greeks. It is nothing less than to trans fer the theatre of war to Asia Minor, and to make themselves masters of Smyrna. It is affirmed, that for the execution of this project, the Greeks have as. semblea a flotilla, with a body of 12,000 troops, col lected from the several islands of the Archipelago which have shewn the greatest eagerness in the cause of independence. We expect with great impatience the further details of this plan, the execution of which must now have commenced. The Greek Admiralty has chosen the moment when the Captain Pacha is in the lonian Sea, and on the Coast of Candia, where the Greeks do not think he can undertake anything important, because they have been able to prepare for a vigorous defence on all the points that are threatened. The Divan had received positive information of this expedition, and it is for this reason that it sent Ibrahim Pacha with some thousand chosen troops to Natolia. He is to take the chief command of a new army that is organizing there, of which the troops he has taken from Constantinople will form the vanguard. The success of the expedition will principally de pend on the part that the numerous Greeks of Asia take. If they do not come to assist the landed troops, the latter may be considered as lost, for we must ex pect that the Turks will do their utmost to expel the Greeks from that important province. A report is likewise spread that the Captain Pacha has received orders from Constantinople to return, with all his fleet, to the coast of Asia Minor, to attack the Greek fleet. The expedition projected by the Ad miralty will thus far, at least, have the advantage of acting as a powerful diversion to induce the Captain Pasha to leave the lonian Sea and the coasts of Greece. He had not yet, however, quitted the neighbourhood of Patras. It is not known what he thought to do on that coast, for there is no opportunity to strike a great bow there, and his land force is besides too small to attempt it. It is certain that the Egyptian squadron is still at Alexandia. The plague, it is said, has ceased, but the Pacha of Egypt does not think it prudent to let his fleet depart. --Brussels Paper. Extract of a letter dated St. Thomas, 10th July " It is openly and universally avowed in the island of Porto Rico, from the Governor of the island down to the lowest class of the inhabitants, that should the lynch succeed in the present attempt on Spain, they will immediately declare themselves indepen dent. The spirit in Porto Rico is highly Constitu tional; and the same disposition is said to exist in Cuba, and it is reported to be the intention to form those islands into one State. The intelligence re specting Porto Rico may be relied on, as I had it from the mouths of the most distinguished inhabitants." ATTEMPT AT ASSASbINATION.--.Sunday se'nnight as Captain MIDDLETON, of the 71st regiment, was re turning from Fermoy to his quarters at Castletown roche, he was fired at by some ruffian from behind a wall of a place called Kilcummer, within a mile and a half of the latter town, and was providentially missed. The horse was startied by the shot, and as soon as he recovered, the gallant officer returned the fire, and then rode quickly into Castletownroche, and took a party out with him, and patrolled the country— and we understand one man has been taken up under suspicious circumstances. SosaNOLENCY.—A most extraordinary circumstance occurred in the town of Arklow a few days back; a woman fell asleep, and continued so for the space of fourteen days without intermission. During that period she breathed most freely; she awoke for short time on the 14th day, but relapsed into an ever- 1 litAing sleep.— Wexford Inta!ligencer. Thomas Bradley, a post-boy, in the employ of Mr. HtePzitaos, of Hampton Court, was found dead on Wimbledon Common on Friday night last. The de ceased was returning from London with a pair of horses, and it is supposed that, .in descending the hill, which leads to the Baldf;ced Stag, the horse on which he rode fell, and, falling on its rider, killed him on the spot. One of the horses, which were found near him, had its knees broken, its head very much lacerated, and bore other marks of having had a violent fall. A patent or privilege has been granted at St. Pe tersbursh for a press for making bricks, which is not only to diminish the labour, but to perfect the form of the brick. By means of this machine, not only bricks, both solid and hollow, can be made, but tubes, straight or crooked, cornices, flutes for columns, and other architectural ornaments. The patentee is a Mr. Thomas, who proposes to establish a model brick yard, with improved ovens for baking the bricks. Three pr lour men can produce, it is said, with his machine, from 10 to 12,000 bricks daily, of differ ent forms. SATIN BEAVER HATS.—uentiemeo's Satin Beaver Hats at %h.: low price of 17s.

FROM WOOIMER'S EXETER AND PLYMOUTH GAZETTE. We have been favoured with the copy of a letter received yesterday from Captain BENNETT, of the Fame merchant vessel, dated " St. Andrew's New Brunswick, July 4, 1823," which states, that on the Ist of June last, he fell in with the Lord Exmouth, Captain BARRETT, bound to Quebec, and parted from her on the sth. While in company with the Lord Exmouth, on the 4th of that month, in lat. 44. 2. N. long 27. W. Captain BARRETT, picked up a bottle. covered with barnacles, in which was a piece of paper, with the following words written.on it: NOITU POLAR EXTIDITION, JANUARY, 7, 1822.—This bqttle was sent adrift in the North Polar Sea by the Officers of the North Polar Expedition, being then frozen up, five degrees west of Melville Island.—All PLYMOUTH GRAND REGATTA. PLYMOUTH, AUGUST 23.—Thursday this town pre sented one of the gayest scenes we ever witnessed here. The morning's amusements commenced with the Regatta, at eleven ; at which hour the Hoe, which Nature has formed as one of the best situations for such a purpose, presented one mass of delighted people, exceeding in number 6,000, to witness the Regatta immediately below them itr the Sound, the whole face of which was covered with craft of all sizes and descriptions. The three classes of prize boats set off by signal, in succession, immediately after eleven o'clock, making the whole race in excel lent style. The rounding of the standat d-boats was performed by most of the vessels in a manner to ex cite the astonishment of the beholders, and teflects the highest possible credit on the managers. The Regatta closed about four o'clock, when the follow ing vessels were declared winners: First Class—Sylph, E. K. Noonan, Esq. M.P. Second Class—Lady Louisa, Captain Lyons. Third Class--Amanda, SPRIG, Esq. of Falmouth. Up to this hoar did the Hoe continue to present a moving multitude ; the sight of which from sea must have baffled description for grandeur, particularly as the ground rises in gentle acclivity to a considerable summit. In the centre of the lloe, either Nature, or chance-medley (in search of limestone), has formed a delightful amphitheatre, on which were at ranged the excellent band of the 61st regiment, in their full dress, for whose " enchanting sounds" the company cannot be too much obliged to the gallant Col. Royal], who commands that much esteemed corps. To attempt to describe the company is more than we dare venture upon; suffice it, therefore, to say, that by the excellent. arrangement of the committee, the polite interference of our worthy chief Magistrate, the handsome conduct of those Noblemen and Gentle men who possess pleasure-boats, and the ever- - pleasing patronage of the Earl and Countess MORLEY, it presented to our view, ea masse, all the Nobility, Gentry, and general population of the towns of Ply mouth, Dock, Stonehouse, and many hundreds "from a far off;" forniing a group of "Lords of the Crea tion" and " Heaven's last best gifts," seldom in re spect-of the former outwitnessed in number ; and as touching the latter, not to be surpassed in those charms which we are all wont to admire. All the principal shops in the three towns, as also the batiks, were closed; the former during the whole day, the latter from 11 to 2 o'clock. A NEW SYSTEM OF PRACTICAL DOMESTIC ECO NOMY.—We have no hesitation in recommending to general attention the abovementioned Work, a Third Edition of which has just appeared, comprising Esti mates of Household Expenses, adapted to Families of every de scription. These F.stimates will doubtless be found extremely acceptable to the Public, as the only systematic attempt ever yet made to point out the means by which the various attain ments of honourable industry, and of the gifts of fortune, in their several gradations, may be made to administer, with supe rior advantage, to the amelioration of the necessities of some, to the augmentation of the comforts of others, and to the more re fined and mote perfect enjoyment of the pleasures and elegancies of those of superior rank in life. They embrace a range of In comes and Expenditures, from One Guinea per week to Five Thousand Pounds a year and upwards; and, though the first of them are adapted to very low Incomes, yet no apology need be offered for their introduction; on the contrary, they are pecu-, liarly applicable to the extraordinary circumstances of the pre sent times. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, AUGUST 25. The arrival of Wheat, Flour, and Beans last week was good, but there was very little in other Grain. This morning there is not touch old Corn fresh at market, but several samples of new %Vsta, danq. quality: prime dry parcels of Wheat have ob tained 2s. toss. per quarter more thin last Monday, but our Millers have very little spirit w purchase, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, and the sales are by no means brisk.

BOXING Wednesday, after the Races at Southsmpton, a numerous hotly of amateurs assembled on Shirley Common, to witness a fight between James Ward, the black diamond, and Johnson, a Bristolian and friend of Neat. Ward was seconded by Isle of Wight Hall and Wiuterfiood, and Dick Acton and an amateur officiated for Johnson. On peeling it was evident to all that Ward must win, and nothing else, being much the heavier man, and a better in-fighter. The first five rounds were spent rather in playing with each other than fighting, but after the sixth, Ward's seconds seeing that nothing could be done in the betting way, desired him to go in andfonsh it, which he accordingly did in fine style, in two rounds more, Johnson being completely beat to a stand-still, Ward declaring he should Ike no better sport than to beat as many Johnson. as could stand between bins and St. Paul's. The fight lasted seventeen minutes, Another took pike between Job Lee, an Egyptian, and another young ruffian, which a dozen rounds decided for the latter. Thursday, two more fights took place on the Courst., opposite the Grand Stand. The first between Westou and Cole, was decided in favour of the former in 23 minutes, by a tremendous blew on the jugular of his adversary, which sent him to dorse so effectually, that the spectators began to fear that a job was cut out for the Coroner. Ten minutes, however, brought him to himself. To conclude the day's sport, Zachariah Lee, brdiber of the hero of the day before, threw in his assior, and challettied any man in the crowd for a guinea. Wioterflood, thinking it a pity he should want a customer, delayed nut to send his etallow also after the other, and in a handful rounds; served oot the Egyptian to his heart's content, without a scratch for himself, thereby easing him of his money and conceit together. Winter flood, we understand, has challenged Ball for 50 guineas, to fight at Basingstoke races. HIGHWAY ROBBERY PREVENTED BY A Dtgliv•7.-As one of the mounted patrol stationed oa Ilounslow . - Heath, was on Thursday night on duty in that neigh bourhood, he approached a waggon travelling to wards town, and, as usual on such occasions, ht: chal lenged it by the call of " good, night;" but to is surprise he received Lot the customary answer. On his going up to the waggon, he discovered that there was no driver or other person attending ii, although the horses were going on at their usual p.aFc. The patrol stopped ti.e horses, and in a few minutes he heard a footstep corning up at a quick pace towards him ; in on instant or two afterwards a dog ran up to the waggon, and after running round it and the pa - nil (who stood at the horses' heads) as if to see that all was safe, he ran back to his master, and fendiy sprung on him, in congiattilation that the waggon was sate.
