Thursday, ordainint ner more than thrke persons to stand together in the street, &c. kc. no person car. well believe that the affair can have been either of so trivial a nature, or so peacefully settled as this se ci.unt, probably dirived trom a Prussian Journal, pretends. The. story of the Congress at Carlsbad,or of Minis t-rial assemblages, something like one, turns out a::er all, to have been not without pretty good foun da:inn. An article from Carlsbad, in the French Papers, states very particularly that, among the dis tinguished personages lately there, were Prince SciIWAitTZLNISERG, Prince de Ruvro, (Neapolitan Minister) Count CAPo d'IETRIA, Prince HARDENBERG, and Sir ROBERT GORDON (brother of Lord Astat- Dees), first Secretary of the English Legation at Vienna—and that Prince HARDENBERD had had during his stay there " freguenl conference: with Count Ciro D'lsixt.4." By accounts from Barbadoes, of the 27th July, re v:iced in Town this morning, we learn that the South American privateers do cot confine themselves to the capture of any particular Flag. The following no nce, put on LLOYD'S books this day, is a fresh in stance of their atrocities " The Alligator, Ashton, from London to St. Vincent's, was b,: - ..rded on the sth July, in lat. 28. Ai. long. 22. In. by a schooner rieatets, of 7 guns and 86 men, said to be the Porpoise, of kurnios Ayres, and was plundered of some wit.e,.potatoes, and oats. Ihe privateer captured, ten days before, a Spanish ship, and sent her for Buenos Ayres., Some of the crew reported, that two days before they bad fallen iu with the Srattiard, they plundered art English brig, and afterwards fired into her, till she sunk with all her crew." , Extract of a letter from the Agent to LLOYD'S, at Buenos Ayres, dated 17th June : “ The brig called the General Anigas is fitting out for a cruise; she will mount 10 guns, and have sa men on board, and it is ea especial will carry a commission from Alt”! IGAS against the Portuguese' Lord &moons is now on a visit to the venerable BISHOP of HEREFORD, at his Lordship's palace in that City the Corporation of which have presented the freedom of it to the Noble Secretary. It is with extreme regret we have to state.the death of Captain CAMPBSI.L, the able and zealous Ctuuniaa der of his unfortunate but well-meant endeavi.ur to explore the interior of Africa. A letter from Sierra Leone, of June 30, which reached town yesterday, states, that intelligence of the loss had arrived at that place a few days before. Captain CAMPBELL was re ported to have died of broken heart, and the Expe dition was expected teketurn. The Second Naval Officer in command, who had been left at Sierra Leone on account of ill health, but was recovered and on his way to join the Expedition, returned to Sierra Leone on hearing of Captain CAMPBELL'S death, to eonsult the-Governor upon the future conduct of the Expedition. A dispatch was immediately sent home to Lord BATHURST. An account was received last night, of the death d the•ikwagee Masolaiessees of Suer°, at A rnstave dem, where she was expecting Sir WILLIAM SCOTT from Switzerland, in order to return with him to England. Her Ladyship was born, on the 9th of Aecernber, 1767, and WAS the youngest daughter and 0-heiress of the late gallant Earl Hows• In 1787 tie was married to the late Marquis of Swan, by whom she had a son, the present Marquis. To her second husband. Sir WILLIAM Scow, she was mar ried about five years since. Her Ladyship was in the remainder to the•Englith Barony of Hows, now possessed by her elder sister, who married the Hon. 1 1 01 ASHRTON CURZON. Miss CURZON, the niece of the Marchioness, was her constant companion. Hcr Ladyship was a woman of much literary accom plishment. A letter from Lima has appeared In the West Bri ttle Newspaper, which says that Don RICARDO Tag. NITHICE, (or, according to his English description, Captain RICHARD Tnevantot, a Cornish miner and engineer,) had arrived at ihat place for the purpose of supplying the mines of South America with steam engines on an improved principle of his invention ; That several had already been set to work in the dii-, trfct of Pasco with the greatest success ; and that a great many more were in a course of mecums. The event thus recorded, however apparently insignificant rsay be, and probably will be followed by consequences the mdst important to this country and to Europe. This will be evident when we recollect the quantity of the precious metals raised in the mines of South Ame rick, under all the disadvantages which ignorance, srid a want of machinery, have opposed to the prose cution of such adventures; and the change which even the limited supply thus derived has produced in the value of money, and thereby in the political and economical relations of European society. An alarming fire broke out on Tuesday night at the manufactory of Messrs. MAWS and Co. tobacco n:ets, at Bristol, by which part of the premises and a considerable quantity of tobacco were destroyed ; rt owing to the exertions of the military, firemen, Pnd others, the fire was prevented from spreading. The damages are estimated at seSOOO. That which was suspected a month ago is now Coming to pass. From the very limited amount of the Numbers in the present Lottery, there being but 2 . 900 , and the great demand which has lately beeq made for them, it is more than probable that not one ~ 4 11 remain unsold at the time the Wheel goes round ,ceremony which will take place on WEDNESDAY Nar. It is 'foliaged that the Two Twenty Thou ands.aas have had row influence on the demand. Swity and Co. had the satisfaction of selling in Shares the Nary last Prize of £20,000 Money ever drawn. —On WEDNESDAY NEXT 'NO PriaPS of £20,000 writ be gained by some of the fortunate Adventurers in the present Lottery. Tickets and Shares are selling in the greatest variety at Stem and Pr.'s Offices, No. 11, Poultry ; 12, Charing- Cross ; and SI, Aldgate High-street: also Two Tickets of One Number, by which the Purchaser tay gain the immense Sum of FORTY THIIHAND PUUNIN, being the greatest Sum that ever could be Pined in a Lottery containing only 2,)00 Numbers.

The fate of one of the HUSHAMS is lamentable in the extreme— he had been in the navy during the whole of the late war ; he was at the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafalgar, and in the NERLIDH frigate at the Mauritius, when three British frigates so bravely fought the batteries; he escaped from all these dangers unhurt, and pe rished at length within view of his own native harbour.

A Court Martial was held on beard his Majesty's ship QUESR CHARLOTTE, in Portsmouth Harbour, on Monday. and continued by adj?urnments to the fol lowing day, to try THoMAs STOLES, Master, com manding. his Majesty's store-ship 1115VOTAKTIl s an the following charges, exhibited against him by Mr. E DwA n D BEaroaD HAsui.row POI. Acting Master, late of his Majes . y's ship Cuattwxu., then a Super numerary on hoard the PRRVOTANTR lst —For unoffker-like and ungentleman.like conduct In col. taring and pushing hint the said Mr. Pon on the quartualeck of his Maim)** shop Prevoyante,oa the eve ning of August 10.1017. !d—For opppression, in unjustly placing idm underarrese, and detaining him In confinement until the present period, although be, Mr. Stukcs, said, on Ills, Mr. Pain's, leaving the deck, he Lad been guilty of no impropriety. The Court was of pinion, That, although It appears that the said Mr. Thomas Stokes did push the said Mr. Edward Redford Hamilton !NM, in order to in. arc hint to obey theorder repeatedly given by Mr. Stokes, to go from the weather to the ire side of the quarter deck, to enable him to carry on the duty of the ship, that the sante was not done in an unofficer I.ke or ungentlemati-like manner; that Mr Pins was not at the thee In any uniform ; that Mr. Stokes was not then aware ot the rank he held in the Navy ; and that he wu actuated by a zealous desire to maintain the discipline ot the 'revive, by repelling disobedience of his orders ; and the Court is further of opinion, that the remainder of the charges have not been proved agaimt the said Mr. Thomas Stokes, and deth adjudge him to be acquitted; and she said Mr. Thomas Stokes is hereby acquitted accordingly. A Court Martial was held on board his Majesty's ship QUIZ!' CHARLOITZ, - in Portsmouth Harbour, on Tuesday, and conalued by adjournment to the following day, to try Mr. THOSIA3 SToxel, Master, commanding his Majesty's store-ship PnEvoirawrx, on the following charge preferred against him by Lieutenant HUGH CLAPPRITOS, late or his Majesty's ship CoItrIANCZ, then a Supernumerary on board the PitIVOTAHTZ, Viz.

And the Court feel it their duty to observe, that in the midst of the difficulties which surrounded Mr. Stokes Irons the crowded state of the Officers, who were Superhumerartes on board, many of whom appear to have erroneously conceived that because they were of a rank on the list of the Royal Navy, surrior to that of. the Casarnander of his Majesty's store.ship Prevoyaute, their authority continued to them whilst such Supernumeraries on board her, and several of them to have conducted themselves wish great lasubordinatioa, and doe Lieutenant to have refused to exert his Widen= to suppress a tumult in the gun-room, at tea o'clock at night. Mr. Stokes appears to have conducted him self with 'great propriety, moderation, and kuowiedge of the service; and the said Mr. Thomas Stakes is hereby fully acquitted. Tux FLORIDA& —(From the New Toni Commercial Alwerticer of August 8.) , 6 Should the Florida. be ceded by Spain, as is generally expected, the United States will possess In Pensacola .the finest port next to Havannah in the whole Gulf of Mexico. Having 24 feet of water on its bar, it will form an excellent naval station, and likely, moreover, to become a place of considerable commerce, as it will command the heads of all the rimers that flow into the Gulf from Mobile eastward to the' Appalachicola. It may be expected that it will draw to its market . a consi derarabk proportion of the products of the upper Settlements on the Alaboma, as the navigaiim, that river above Fort Claiborne is not a 1 ttle d.ffi cult, and excellent- roads may be made to Fensacula, with little cost ot trauble:". rat A?S.•S: Yesterday the -.1 Ernosport Camden, with a rat of that highly distinguished regiment the 19th Ugh Dragoons, commanded by Major Lau:, arrived 'from Canada, at Ports Mouth. The other transport, and the brig Vittoria, are hourly expected with the rest of the regiment. Tuesday se'nnight, a part of the ht, or Royal Regiment of Dragoons, which had been long sta tioned at the King's Barracks. Ipswich, left that place on its route to Hamilton, in Scotland. The very handsome conduct of the Officers of this regiment. and the orderly and respectable behaviour of the pri vates, are entitled to distinguished praise ; and must insure for them the most favourable reception from the inhabitants, should their professional duty ever lead them thither again. They were repla , ed, on the same day, by a troop of the sth Dragoon Guards. The General Court Martial, which assembled at Portsmouth on the 4th instant. for the trial of Lien. tenant-Colonel Lugs ALEN. C. B. of the 55th Regi. ment, has been called on charges exhibited against that Officer by Major-General BATLY-but supposed wbe at his express desire. The Lieutenant-Colonel appears to be unassisted by any legal advisee : an Officer of his Regiment attends for the purpose of making notes of the proceedings. The present fine weather bas increased the fashion- able circle at Cheltenham, with the names of the Dean of OSsORY, Lord and Lady LORTON, Lord %V. SOMERSET, Lnrd CoLERAINE, Lady CLAYTON, Lady HITCNRN, Lady NNORNT, Lady HARVEY ' , Sir E. Hyrcnsx, and Sir W. Cox. A young man of fashion, who lately came into possession of at least 410,000 per annum, is said to have lost the whole at hazard. Catccrr.—A Grand Match was decided on Thurs day, in the Duke of St. ALBAN'a Park, at Upper Gatton, after two days most excellent play between Lord BunroaD and ten of the parishes of Gatton And Chipstead, against Mr. PAUL and ten of the parish of Merstharn., The former won by 19 runs. Rowm MATCH OF 1000 MILES IN 20 D*vs.— Gyngell commenced his third day's task ten minutes before six yesterday morning, and by seven in the . evening he finished 50 miles. PanarratAnsu.—.tafen terminates his most erra. ordinary task this evening, being his 20th day. lie started from London this morning, and decides the bets depending on the undertaking on his arriv4l at Colchester. ARCHERY.—The Annual Meeting of the Woodmen of Arden took place last week, at Meriden, at which the Gold and Silver Medals were won by the Hon 1). FINCH and the Rev.C. PALIVIM. The Earl of AYLrc. FORD was the winner of the Silver Arrow, at n;n t • score yards distance. The Gold and Silver Medals for the Captain and Lieutenant of Numbers, given by Members of tbeTozopholite Society, were carried off by the Earl of ATLEsroan and the. Rev. T. C. ADAMS'. His Lordship also obtained the Forest Bugle, at ten score yards distance trom the target. The succesrful Ladies were Miss Gazoony and Miss M. Stiv.ertems, the former of whom was gratified with the Gold Arrow, and the latter young Lady with the Gold Bugle. A grand Bill was afterwards given in the Forest Hall. which was elegantly attended. Amongst the company pt..ent were— lady Charlotte and Mary Finch, Lady Elizabeth FernTs, Lady Sheffield, the Earl of Chesterfield, Lord St. atsaph, she Hon. Mr. Vernay, the Hon. Henrage Legge, the three Mlases Sheffield, the M.stes Payne, &e dee. A GoRiIANDIzER —On Saturday week, a man long distinguished for the voracity of his appetite, died shortly after exhibitirg his powers for the gratifics. lion of some persons who had betted on his head.— 'ibis man was called !Nation-endow Bandy Billy, and resided in the parish ot Neuip gum. This fellow had repeatedly devett.ed, at one meal, a leg of mutton, weietieg ten pounds, two large bunches of turnips, with a popPri nate quantity of bread, and drank a gallon of porter. On Friday se'nnight he repeated his favourite supper, the t xpence of which was de fray. d by some am iteuts, who had considerable bets on his dig s.ive 'amid( s ; but nature refused to a's'st the glutton, for in the morning he was found dead in his bed, occasioned by his over night's gorge. TRIAL OF A Lira BOAT.—On Thursday last, Lieu tenant E. THRACKsToN, R.N. exhibited b.five a num ber of Merchants and Ship Owners of Bristol, the buoyant properties of his newly-invented Life Boat, which exceeded the moat sanguine expectations previ ously entertained. I:s other peculiar qualities and advantages are to be tried in a few days in Kingroad. The extreme length of the boat exhibited is 2l feet, beam six feet six inches, and is rowed with ten oars, double backed. It is constructed a ith canvas. is lieu .ot plank (which possesses an advantage over plank, wants no butt-ends to be stored in case of ac cident) and has emit bilge flats, which may be ap plied as life buoys, to throw out in cases where men may be washed overboard from a wrack, with a large tender round the boat, and which, from its elasticity, is capable of repelling any viuknt con cussion. AVithout having recourse to the preca nous• assistance of air tubes, Mr. Timm:emu has succeeded in gaining so much upon the water line, that the boat ('.y the introduction of eight valves) discharges herself down to the thwarts, a space 'of nine inches. She has a canvas cover, contrived in such a way as to possess the advantages of a deck, at the same time keeping the men dry, without being an incumbrance to their rowing.— The keel is the last thing that goes on the boat, and is so contrived, by the stem and stem parts working, together with the elasticity of the timbers, which are sawn out of a straight piece of oak, and moulded into form by steam, that it is conceived impossible that the boat can ever be stored. She took on board 30 persons when filled with water up to the valves, and bad .2 s standing on one gunwale without the least danger of upsetting. Upon an emergency sixty per. sons might be stowed within her. She rows well and light on the oars whets thus filled, and turns with great rapidity in her length. Boats may be built on A similar construction to any shape, and, from the light but very efficient materials of which they are composed, Lieutenant THKACKSTON is convinced, from the experiments which he has made, that, if generally adopted, they would be found sully tnansvver every common purpose of an appendage to a vessel, besides possessing tlje invaluable advantages dl a lite boat. bhuhr-L.AX THEAtkk A very nurherous company lit'st night assemble to view the altes.ni: ns that have been made, during the recess, in . the int Prior of this edifice. The stag! is now completely ;11uminated with gas, the eifect of which is exceedingly hiiiliant. By turning a cock, the flame can he contracted or increased, in a mo: meta, as the nature of the scene calls for the mild and silvery tints of twilight, or the splendid effulgence of noon day. The variation in the degree of light, in the front of the stage, and at the wings, is simulta neous. This is a considerable iMpiovement—for, when the c , lti plan was acted on, it frequently hap pened, that the front of the stage was dark, whilst a great portion of light ;vas emitted Irom the lamps at tached to the wings, so that night end day were at tit,. same time exhibited. The prevailing colour of the House is pink, re lieved, in the bores, by a slight azure boreering, which, near the stage, assumes a more decii/ed cha racter. The general effect is, rerhaps, toe glaring ; but, we understand, it was suggested to t' e Commit tee, that the light blue, in which the backs f the boxes were formerly paitited, threw a st, ki . hue over the countenances of the elsganies who tr. cite :toed them, and it was therefcre determined to it.- uce a wanner and more vivid colour. The prosernisan, we think, mould be much beautified, if t h e keyal Arms were brought forward from the shade in which they are now placed, and rendered a more prominent and splendid object. The saloon is entirely changed. Indepeti4ent of the ordinary entrances from the great stair-se. a t*o new flights of stairs, one at each extreni ty :4 the room, has been constructed for the conveieenee of the half-price visitors, who will, in future, be suffered !to assetnule in the saloon, instead of week?, use ar. rival of the hour of admission, in the great hall.— The style of Chinese decoration (in compliment, we suppose, to Lord Autreerr), is preserved, as far as possible, throughout the saloon, if, subdivided as it is, it can be so designated with propriety. The ca pitals of the two pillars, which support the entrance to the recesses where refreshments are exposed for sale, at each end of the apertmlut, have been re moved —and, in their place, enormous dragons, the „great symbol of the Chinese empire, have been intro duced. Over the two new staircases, it fanciful sort of canopy, not unlike the expanded sticks of an um• breila, ornamented with bells, is suspended. In the body of the saloon three octagon pagodas are erec ted. Their spiral tops almost reach the roof of the building. Four sides of the octagon admit the en trance of company, and the tem:ening four are fur nished with seats for the accommodation of Inougers. E •ch pagoda is lighted by 17 lanterns, formed, we belies., of fine lawn, and painted with a variety of de vices. Cram the sides of the apartment lanterns of a similar description are also saspended. The prome nade, which is extremely narrow, is, of course, con tined to the space around and bete een the pagodas. The general appearance of the saloon is dull and heavy. The Chinese lanterns afford '• a little (loo ming light, mice like a shade." Perhaps they have* been totroduced, in order to relieve the eyes t those whose optics may suffer by gazing on the thhht of light, which will, henceforth, illume the stage. The House was, on this occasion, very folly atten ded. We sincerely hope we way, during the ensu-; log season, be trequenly called on to make a similar observairon. CoPENI.G.4RDEN '!'HEAL RR. This elegant House will take advantage of •the gas liglits,'• tot they are only to be used in the front part of the Theatre. They ate not yet completed, but by what we could judge by seeing thrills already files), the t frect must be brilliant in the extreme, without being offensive to the eye by an sxcessive glace. The printi,..ll I.ghts will be suspended from the centre of the House. At the middle of the first circle, tl.ete is a chandelier of five gas lights, and others of the same scot are suspended over each of the stage dimes. The 1.e..t of the gas, and its imaginat, smell, are obviated by cunductois, which pieveilt either from escaping ii t 3 the body of the House.,-. The chandelier from the centre of • the ceiling is must magnificent work, which, without the slightest obstruction to a single spectator, diffuses an immense, but cheering body ut light.
