A schooner, supposed to be one of the three Tu nisian privateers, was seen to capture a foreign gal lint, about eight miles from this port. The galliot was steering to the Eastward, but immediately after she bore away to the Westward. This capture was distinctly observed by cur boatmen from hence with their glasses. The STORK revet.ue cutter went in pursuit immediately, and there is no doubt that the galliot will be recaptured, and in all probability the privateer will also be taken.

Grimm—The first survey was made on Saturday morning, by meins of the diving-bell, of the wreck of the Royal George, which sunk at Spitbead about thirty-five years since. She lays nearly east and west, with her head to the westward, and, with a trifling inclination, on her larboard bilge. The whole of her decks have fallen in, as:d the star board broadside upon them ; there is, in fact, no ap• pearanne whatever of her original formation, her re mains appearing as a pile of ruinous timber work.— The surface of her timbers is decayed, bat the heart of them is sound. Not the least vestige of her guns, anchors, spars, or masts, was discovered, and the whole of her head and rail-work has gone to pieces ; the gun, oust have fallen into the bull among the, wreck. There is no bank or great accumulation of mud around her; the hollows in her hull contain a quantity of floe black muscose mud, the natural se diment of the tides. It would not be difficult either to saw her in pieces or blow her up, but she cannot lie weighed in a body, from her dilapidated, uncon nected state. ' The bell, on being let down, touched on her larboatd broadside, passed round her bows, and was brought up from her starboard broadside... 7 It is fully expected the Navy Board will give direc tion‘ immediately for the break;iig op and femoral of her temaina. THE ARMY. Thursday the three troops of the rAniskillen Dra goons, quartered at Truro, under the command of Captain Brtowx, muched for Exeter, with all their baggage, in order to join the regiment, which is to be icspected there by the Commander of the District. NIBLRN lAN SOCIETY'. It gives us much pleasure to state the event to which this incomparable Institution benefited, by the glowing and overpowering eloquence of Dr Cnac stens, on Sunday last, in advocating it. CAUSe, in the Scots Church. London-wall. The collection after sermon, including donation!, exceeded relfao. After the opportunities which the public have had by the tour sermons which this distinguished Divine hath preached in this metropolis, of judging of his won derful powers as a pulpit orator, of his comprehensive views as a theologian, of his acquirements as a man of taste and literature, and of the originality of his genius for description of character and luminous illus tration of divine troth, vie believe, there is but one s:iniiiient of admiration in all who have heard him; and never had a cause, so worthy of patronage and • aid, nhee justice done to it—never was an auditory • so arrested, as we witnessed by Dr. Citarlarns's ser mon in aid of the Hibernian Society, in the Scots Church. on Sunday last. It was gratifying to ob serve so many Nobility and personages of rank, the Chief Magistrate of the City, and some of the Alder men preseiat on slicir an interesting occasion, and it is lund'y hoped that the Society, bioa,tht before the notice of such, will liencrtorth acqaire additional support, and be able to emend its salutary operations. The ground-work of the discourse was Matt- 7, v. The spirit of Popery and Protestantism, and the errors winch adhere to the principles of the former, contrasted with those which often obtain in the prac tical judgments and conduct of thole who profess the latter, were delineated with admirable force and pre cision. The object of the Society was next adverted to, and an argument drawn from its principles, the stale of Ireland, and the national character of the Irish was illustrated with singnlir ability and effect. The sermon was closed with a warm and animated appeal to the conAreg.ition, to lend their aid by their munificence to arle.ince the grand cruse of educa tion, and the dissemination of the racrd of Gou. At the Anniversary Meeting, a few days since, 4 the " British and Foreign School Seciety," it app e sr eci in the conrw of a most interesting report which WAS read, on the progress which vie system is making in all countries, that. the 1 ite Phil inthropist, Mr. REYNOLDS had transmitted to the y the noble donation of A:n.)0(2; and that the pot Mr. 0 weN of Lanark, had also given XlOOO, to forward the 'ex:rtions of the S.:ciety for the lien tit of a gvneratton The Anniversary Dinner of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Coin. merce, took place yesterday, at the Freemasons' Ta. vein; and considering that so many public festivals have preceded it, and its being tbe recess week, it was very niimeroosly attended. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex presided. A Gentleman who has been examining the diffe rent Meteuraigical Instruments in various parts of England, with a view to ascertain the cause of the apparent errors in the Meteorological Journals, has bound one cause was, the wind is often so erroneously pet down—The Cardinal points on the Wither cocks are in general put according to the CO:11pAll% instead of tf , e Sun, consequeraly the North point i is above 2(i" west of the due north, and all the others are consequently wrong. A Gentleman at Walthamstow has recently constructed a weather vane, which rings a bell at every turn of the vane, by the most gentle change 01 wind. It is also con ', stiected with a spherical caunister of oil at the top, which can drop continually into the hinge, and will not be exhausted for many yeats. Trade, we understand, has improved very much of late. There are many buyers of English goods from America at present in town. The merchants of Liverpool, interested in the im portation ut flour from Antetica, send out travellers generally every spring. to ascettain as precisely as possible the prospect ut the wheat and other crops in Englond. Last season ten travellers were engaged 'l in this particular service, and it afterwards appeared that the report they made on the occasion was gene rally correct. The came means have been resorted to this season, to ascertain the prospects of the ensu• ing harvest ; and we are happy to learn that the parties employed have given it as their united opinion that the country at large never stood in a more pro. mising situation for rich and abundant crops of wheat, and ut ail other sorts of grain. On the 24th ultimo, a servant girl of Mr. ROUSE, of Benonden, having placed a little child on the edge of a copper, containing boiling water, she incau tiously left it to go across the kitchen, when dreadful to relate, the little innocent fell into the liquid, and was so dreadfully scalded, that it died shortly after being taken out. The Duke of Nottromc is expected so visit Arun del Castle in the course of this week. His Grace also intends to admit the Nobility and Gentry to view the magnificent interior of that aacient and noble struc ture, as soon as the painted window is fixed iu the Baron's Hall. 'The extensive improvements and al- terations at Arundel Castle, which the late Duke carried on with more than princely expenditure, are ordered to be entirely suspended. The present Duke has been diminishing the fine stock of deer in the Parks, in order to convert 4 great part of these noble domains into small farms. Farther discoveries of Roman antiquities, in a beautiful state of perfection, have been lately made at the villa of Bignor, within four miles of Arundel, which excite the curiosity of a great number of travellers.
