The Path Paper.. of Sunday bring us no political news. 21 , tositeur states that a Secretaiy of the English Legation at Mathidpassed thaough Bayonne =this way to Spain, and repeats the assertion we published yesterday, that " important negotiations arc on foot between the cabinets of London and Madrid." The other rumours concerning the state of Spain, which we mentioned u being contaiaed is it Bordeaux Paper, are repeated by the J-f ..tear, but without any observation as to their correct- Thai is no intelligence of any military or naval opera tior.: by the Greeks or their enemies. Some acts of piracy have been committed on English property, and it is said that a Greek cruiser has bean seized at Hydra, and five ren belonging to the crew sent to Malta for judgment. ISZAHIM PACHA remains inactive in the centre of the Morea, awaiting, it is understood, the arrival of reinforce ittillS from Alexandria, which Admiral SACIITCRY has sailed to intercept. It is reported that the inhabitants of Candi' hive risen upon the Turks. These statements Trust be received with caution. An ordinance of the King of Fanner, dated the 23d inst. decrees that the anniversary of the 16th of October 1793, shall henceforth be united with that of the 2111 of J enuary. The Etude dated Monday has not been received. (From the (teen/knee of SundaV• TA! MIT, SEPT. 12. (PR IVAT I CORRISPONDE NCO.)

The English are, it seems, so angry at this piracy, ►hat we should not be surprised at hearing that these cinc persons had been con demned I.- degth. M. Ilser.:ochi, the brother.in.law of Napoleon, who is gone to pass sons tin:c on 1:11 estate of Camille, in the Frioul, has fallen front his horse and •broken his right thigh near to the hip. This event, w:t:cli occurred some days id not at first cause much alarm, but there is now a fever, which gives reason to fear for the consrguence of so dangerous a fracture in a man who is so advanced 111 yors. Hire:int Pacha perseverm in his system of mrrrunning the coun try with detached columns, which sometimes, I:or:ever, meet with difficulties and checks. There arc many skirmishes, het as no con side:able corps is assembled, there car be no general engagement. Ihashim only waits for the arrival of a new army from Alexandria, to complete the conquest of Oreece. Or tl.e other hand, we learn that the Greeks in Candi!' hl7O esen, that t::cy have surprised the Turks in that island, and gained some advantages. It is said they hime received reinforcements from the islands. The nett:lotions of the Greek Government with the English hive not ebtained general approbation ; they ere disapproved, above all, in ‘Vestern Greece, because they secritice the inde pendence cf Greece. The determination to oppose the Turks t o the utmost is more filed than ever. P.41:15, SEPT. 24.

We haya al ready expressed our opinion of the great danger to which this conflict. rashly and wantonly commenced, exposes the newly founded throne of Don PEDRO. The presence of Sir CHARLES STUART it is to be hoped will prevent the quarrel from assuming a mere serious character. The powerful influence of Great Britain will probably render her meJiation acceptable to all parties, none of whom can have any rational desire of war. If, however, Don PEDRO should be deaf to the suggestions of moderation, he will have deep cause to rue his obstinacy and injustice. By the invasion of Chiquitos, lie has given offence equally to the Peruvian and Colombian Govern• ments ; and with Cenral Secat, and the ‘ictors of Ayacucho on his frontiers, his BRAZILIAN MAJESTY will find that he has provoked no mean or despicable for. It is known, besides, that a strong republican party exists among the people of Brazil, and they will be ready at the first opportunity to revolutionize the country. The Govern anent of Buenos Ayres are taking the most efficient mea sures for their defence. Half a million of dollars have been appropriated to the immediate disposal of the executive authorities, and the utmost zeal animate:every class of the citizens. CITY, TVs/DAY Evr ?us°. The Consols Market was again a drooping one to-day ; and although the sales in it were not heavy, still compara tively trifling circumstances operate upon it in its present state, which is certainly anything but lirm. Consols opened at the closing price of last night, 8S fa, but afterwards declined to aa, and the last bargains were done at al. Exchequer Bills were Ss. Ss. Ss. premium. Money cer tainly was not generally scarce, although persons holding it were cwt inclined to lend it as promiscuously as they used to do. The gloom in the Foreign Market increases daily ; ansrl whether it has reached ite darkest pitch it is yet impossible to say ; for every thing in Stock transactions, particularly in this market, of which the Share Market forms a branch, is stone in extremes. A few months since it was almost impossible to buy too high not to gain a profit, and now it is scarcely possible to buy at a price that will save a' purchaser from loss. This probably will be the ease until speculators, who follow each other like a flock of sheep, perceive that the depression, at least as far as it applies to many Securities in the Foreign and Share markets, is as unnecessary as the high prices were uncalled for ; and then a level will be found, which we suspect will enable us to quote many Securities much higher titan we are enabled to do at present. South American Securities retrograded again to-day ; Colombian Bonds to 731 43 ; Mexican Scrip to 121 12 discount; and the Guatemala ditto to 4 discount. Greek Serip was done as low as 251 discount, in the middle of the day, but it closed at 24 31. Old Spanish Bonds were 1 7il ; Brazilian Scrip 10 9. discount ; and Danish ditto 634; but the principal business was in South American Securities, in which some heavy sales took place. The Shares were all much depressed. A good deal of jobbing took place in Pasco-Peruvian Shares, which were as low as 1,!, ; however, they left off at Si, at which price a goal many purchases were made. The sales of Sugar in Mincing-lane were extensive, at full prices. Accounts have been received from Ceylon to the 26th May, stating the arrival at Trim:mann of the Palmyra, Captain Lamb, with naval stores fbr the Dock-yard. His Majesty's ship Tamar was lying there. It is the opinion of a very intelligent gentleman, just re turned from the seat of war in India, and with whom we have had a conversation, that the Burmese are changing the plan of their operations, as their object DOW seems to be to retreat upon their capital ; in doing which they have abandoned several strongly fortified places. iVell informed, persons are tllfided in their opinion as to the motives that have influenced the enemy in coming to this decision, some supposing it to be for the purpose of gaining strength, 'by falling back upon their resources; whilst others believe that it is to enable the Burmese to negotiate with the In dian Authorities upon better terms. Our informant states, that very little reliance is to be placed ou the unofficial ac counts already published. The Alexander, Richardson, arrived yesterday from Ceylon, having sailed from thence on the 15th May, from the Mauritius on the Bth June, and from St. Helena on the Slat July. The only information of public interest that has reached town by this conveyance is that relating' to shipping, which is rather extensive, and will be found in another part of our impression. The vessels that came to anchor yesterday from the West Indies met with tremendous gales on their voyage. The weather off the Cape has also been very tempestuous. The spirit of combination is spreading over the Conti nent. An attempt has been made to establish an associ ation of this nature amongst the French bakers. The po lice of Lyons have just seized a trunk containing letters from various towns in France, by which it appeared that a general design was formed to institute throughout that kingdom a clandestine combination, under the pretext of obtaining imployntent, and assisting each other iu distress. In the trunk also were found several instruments for car rying into execution the unlawful purposes of the conipi raters ; such as black crape veils, rule and countesses, a piece of a crown of laurel, and some labels. Fortunes to an immense amountexchangcd ownen at the late Doncaster Races. Several veterans of the turf among the Nobility have lost to the amount of fifty, sixty, and even seventy thousand pounds. GULLEY, the pugilist, has pocketed twenty-two thousand. This was taking the (-merit out of the knowing ones with a vengeance! THE BRITISH PRESS. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have receivA Cape Town Glottettel to the 10th of July. The change of the currency bail. it appears, pro duced a considerable agitation in the public mind. The meetings of the inhabitants were stormy in the extreme, and the language used was, in some instances, very strong. We are glud, however, to perceive, by the latest dates, that this feeling had greatly subsided, and that the contents of their memorials and petitions are moderate and becoming. The following is an extract from the resolutions taken by the Committee appointed by the freeholders of Cape Town, on the 1 3th of June last, at the mectinz in the South African Club-house, on Saturday. the 2d of July, 1.823. Mr. Henry Buckton exhibited to the Committee a series of Resolutions passed at a meeting convened in the Commercial Exchange, ott the 30:h ult. to take into con sideration the effect of the Ordinance of his Excellency the Governor in Council of the 611a-4ust., the said Resolutions being of the following tenor this Meeting is deeply impressed with grateful feelings to our most gracious Sovereign fur having taken Mt° consideration the state of the currency of this CJlony.l That this Meeting, in thus exprdsing their smsibility of this Royal act of his Majesty, humbly, though earnestly, hr- - thit his annex ta..

(A true copy.) (Signed) H. CLOETE, Sec. LIST THE INTERIOR OF AFRIC.4. We really do not know how to deal with the following article, which we copy from a Morning Paper. It beats Gaudentio di Lucca, Ferdinand Mendez Pinto, and even our own Gulliver, hollow. It is somewhat strange that this extraordinary race has never been before mentioned. We believe that Leo Africanus, nor even any modern au thor, or traveller, make any mention of this singular peo ple, and yet a nation capable of maintaining 7,000 cavalry, so equipped, cannot be very inconsiderable, and must have excited tile attention and curiosity of the Moors and Arabs : " We have received accounts of a recent discovery in central Africa, which will soon be laid before the public in greater detail ; but of which tne following outline is sufficiently curious:—Major Clipperton and Captain Denham, in the course of their late expe dition in that part of the world, arrived .n the territory, and subse quendy resided toe sonic weeks, in the capital of a nation, whose manners and history seem likely to occupy, to no trivial extent, the attention of the public of this country—we might safely sly, of the whole civilised world. They found a nation jet black in colour, but not In our sense of the term ncgroes, having long hair and fine WO features. This people was found to be in a state of very high civilization ; and above all, the British travellers witnessed a re. view of seven thousand cavalry, divided into regular regiments, and rill clothed in complete armour. Sixthousand wore the perfect hau berk mail of the early Norman Knights ; most strange by far of all, one thousand appeared in perfect limn,' armour. " The conjectures to which this has given rise are various. We confess for ourselves, that, looking to the polished and voluptuous manners ascribed to these people, threlegance of their houses, &c. ; in a word, the total difference between them and any other race as yet discovered in the interior of " Africa, the mother of monsters." our own opinion is strongly that here we have a tragment of the old Numidian population ; a specimen of the tribes who, Liter long amity:ding and long co-operating wjth imperial Rome, ,were at last fain to seek safety in the central dewy, upon the dissolution of the empire. In these squadrons Alessi% Marmon and Denham probably beheld the liveliest image that ever has been witnessed by modem eyes, of the legions ofJuggrtba—nop we not say of Hannibal it " The arninut, we untierstand, isjibricated in the most perfect style of art ; and the Roman suits might be mistaken fur so many flerculancan or Pompeian discoveries, if it were possible roe us to imagine the existence of genuine antiques, possessing all the glossy finish of yesterday's workmanship. " One of these travellers has already set off on his return to this sable Court." THE RLVENVE.—Although the Quarterly Statement of the Revenue will not be made out for this fortnight, or more, we bare the pleasure of announcing, from good authority, that the result will show a remarkable increase, (specially in the branch of Customs.—Star. Despatches from the Cape of Good Hope and the Mauritius were received yester day at the Colonial I...tters from Oporto to the Nth inst. give a very un favourable report of the approaching vintage, which, from the flattering accounts hitherto received, we had expected would not only prove fine as to the quality of the grape, but also abundant. We learn from Spain, that the Dey of Algiers, being informed that the European vessels which frequent the harbour of Bona introduce contraband gunpowder, which is purchased by the Arabians, enemies of the Algerine Government, has informed the Consuls General of this fact, in order that they may put an end to it, and the Ad miral commanding the harbour of Bona has published the following resolutions :-1. That every house in the town, in which is found more than a pound of powder, shall be confiscated, with all that it contains; the same is to take place with regard to vessels. g. All the Europeans (except the Vice-Consuls and their families) who reside at Bona, must quit it within then days, which is granted them for the regulation of their affairs. [Other restrictions follow and the decree concludes with declaring, that the Governs anent will not be responsible for auy injuries dune to vessel, putting into Bona.j—Journal des Debats. It is mentions as a rumour, in the Hamburgh papers received yesterday, that " some of the Great Powers of Europe" have expressed their disapprobation of the French recognition of Haytian independence: but it is hinted this will not prevent France from sending Consuls to the South Atherican States. Paussutc_Daar.—This Commissioners appointed for • the reduction of the Prussian National Debt (whereof the Government Bonds denominated " Staats Schuld Scheine," form a part), have, in their yearly report, of the 15th June last, given notice, that including the sum of one million of dollars, the amount which is annually fixed for the reduction of our National Debt, and with the interest saved by bonds cancelled in the ere former years, they have purchased in the year 1823, more than three millions dollars of outstanding bonds, which have been cancelled. In the preceding five years, more than eleven millions of outstanding bonds have, in the like manner, been cancelled. The interest of bonds so disposed of are always added to the Sinking Fund, to be employed in the further extinc tion of our National Debt.—Berlin Paper, Aug. 20. The kite's by the Turkey mall yesterday state, that a great sen 'ation had been produced by the accounts from Greece, in which it was announced t'►at an express hail beta sent off for England, soliciting assistance for the Greek cause. Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, July 21 : " 'fhe public mind. as you will see by the Gazettes of Buenos Ayres, has been in a state of great ferment since I wrote you, in consequence of the appearance here of the Brazil squadron, with something like hostile intentions. In fact, it has required all our Minister's prudence and energy to prevent the country from being precipitated into a war with Brazil. Admiral Lobo has retired. An Envoy is to be sent from here to Rio de Janeiro. Negotiation merely is to be had recourse to, and all idea of war is once more vanished." Four houses between Chertsey siul Sunning-hill Wells, were robbed on Sunday last by fellows who travel in donkey cuts, and they have as yet eluded any trace, further than their dens or huts on Windsor Forest, from which they sally t'otth to rob and plunder daily. A Air.

BUENOS AYRES, JULY 6. [From the Ar4;:ts.J CHA3II3ER OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NA T I ON. In the sitting of the 4th ill. Agucro introduced the following Projet of Communication:— By a message of the 9th of May the Government of Buenos Ayres, provisionally charged with the Executive Power, informed the Congress that war had unexpectedly broken out in the Banda Oriental of the Rio de la Plata; and this gave rise to the law of the 11th of the same month, by which, as a precaution against the events that might ensue, it was ordered that the line of the Uruguay should be sufficiently reinforced, to which effect the same law pre. scribeet the measures that were considered proper in our present situation. Subsequently, the Congress has been informed, though not officially, that the excellent General, the deliverer of Peru, Antonio Sucre, has notifiod to the Executive Power that the troops of the Emperor of Brazil have invaded and occupied the Province of Chiquitoa, in Upper Peru; and lastly, it has heard the report, which begins to bespread, of insults offered to our national flag by the naval forces of the Empire. These facts, as they have excited agitation in the mind of the public, cannot fail to affect also arid to 2113T111 the representatives of the nation. They could not but immediately perceive the conse quences which such events might produce against the Pecitrity, the defence, and the integrity of the territory of the State. The Chamber has felt the vast responsibility which lies upon the Re. pretentatives, in whose hands the Provinces of the Union have placed their future destiny ; it feels also the delicacy of its position, and the necessity of p. oceeding with indefatigable activity, and with a prudent foresight of the cycnts which may arise front those which are now just beginning to develope themselves. Induced by these just considerations, the Congress has agreed that the Executive Power shall inform it, without losing a mo. ment, not only respecting the existence and reality of these facts, but alto of the measures which it may have adopted in conic quence. Above all, it desires to be particularly informed respecting the circumstances of this war, which, without the knowledge of the Supreme Authority, has been kindled in the Oriental Province. And as the law of the II th 31ay was dictated in prospect of the results which it might produce in the other porinces, it has agreed that the Executive Power *hall especially acquaint it with what bag been done to give to that law its due effect—of the difficulties which may have prevented the line of the Uruguay front being strengthened, so as to inspire our enemies with respect, mid cur people with conlidence—and that, lastly, it 'hall propose the measures which it shall judge necessary to remove those obstacles which, if they are not overcon e, endanger the fate of the State; with the understanding that the Congress is rescdvesi to make all the efforts in its power, and to require from the people the greatest sacrifices, to maintain the national honour and dignity. Which, by the order of the General Congress, is communi cated to the Government of Buenos Ayres, as charged with the National Executive Power, for its speedy and punctual ICCODI , plishment. JULIAN SEGUNDO DE AnuEno. 1 Ilan of the Congress at Buenos Ayres, June 28,1821 JULY 9. The following Decree has been issued by the War Depart. , meta r—. "Butwos Arnie. JULY 5. " The Executive Government, desiring to exert all its ettiirts to fulfil the law passed by the Congress on the 11th of May, to rein. force the frontier line of the Uruguay ; and the distance of the Provinces, and the season, rendettog it impossible for them to assemble so quickly as it is desired and necessary, to accomplish the objects of the said law, the a hole number of the troops which they have to furnish, it baa judged that, among the other measure. it his adopted, it would gtcatly conduce to the end proposed, to invite all citizens who are bound to. defend the liberty and lode mmtlence of their country, to enrol themselves voluntarily. All persons who enlist are to feet ire forty dollars bounty, and the same pay and clothing ca the rest of the army. The time of service to be two yews." General Don Francisco de la Cruz has resigned the dike of r,ister of War and Marine. The Congress, in its evenirg sitting, approved tho communica. lion proposed by Senor Agueru. _ Jeer 19. In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives, on the' 11th inst. it Note from the Government was read, to the effect that the Government of the Province of Buenos Ayres, which had been provisionally charged with the functions of the Executive Go vernment, requests to be relieved from their functions, because the security of the Province, the regulation of its internal affairs, and the promotion of i's prosperity, which will render it capable of doing greater service to the national caner, require the whole attel. tion of its Government. It therefore requests the Congress to ap point an Executive Power, which may devote its attention exclu. steely to the afftirs of the nation. The Note is signed Juan Gregorio de las Fiera, and Manuel Jose Garcia. The Congress, in an extraordinary sitting on the 11th, took the Note into consideration, and referred it to a Committee of five Members. 'l4e Representatives were summoned for the evening, Melte hope that the Committee would have its Report ready. The agitation, and impatience of the public were very great, and the Hill of the Congress was crowded by the hour appointed. The Committee was of opinion that the request of the Government of Buenos Ayres to resign the Executive Power should not be ad mitted, and proposed to the Congress a project of a decree to that effect, and expressing the wish of that body that the Government should continue in the same satisfactory manner as hitherto, to manage the affiiirs of the nation in general. General Don Marcos Balcarce is appointed 91inIster of War and the Marine, in the mom of General Santa Cruz. The Argus of July 16 contains a long correspondence between the Brazilian Admiral Lobo and Senor Garcia, Minister for Fo reign Affairs. The Admiral in his first Note states, that numer. ous circumstances tending to show that the Government oC Beene' Arestiffritotnoted and favoured the insurrection In the Cisplatine Province, the Emperor had ordered hint to require of the Govern ment of Buenos Ayres a full explanation of these circumstances. Senor Garcia replies, lie is ready to answer, as soon as it appears that the N'ice-Admiral is furnished with sufficient powers, and has the character required for such a The Admiral replies that he has the necessary powers, and has proceeded as the Emperor orderel. Senor Garcia answers to this, that his Government does not judge the Admiral to be duly qualified ; and that, therefore, no diplo. made cotnmunieation can take place. Ile, however, declares that the tiovernrvent of Buenos Ayres disclaims the imputation of hay. ing caused the insurrection of the Banda Oriental, and !olds, that, as the state of that country cannot be indifferent to the Republic of Buena Ayres, the National Government had resolved, from the moment of Its installation, to send an especial mission to Rio de Janeiro, in order finally to determine the relations of the Republic with the Court of Brazil ; this step will be accelerated by the seri ous considerations arising frein late events. Jct.r 20. A body of 400 Indian savages having made an incursion into the territory of Buenos Ayres, were driven out with loss. Notice has been received that a body of 314.1Brazllisn troops hav ing passed the Rio Negro to reconnoitre, advanced to El Penlido, where it was 'melted by an equal number of troop" of the Bands Oriental, and completely dispersed, so that some days after the action only 27 men rejoined the main body. On the other side, only a few were killed and wounded; among the former was Mitchum the Comtnander. General Id. Jose Aranjo y commanding the Brazilian troops at Chiquitos, having written an insolent note to General Sucre, stating that he had united that province with the Empire of Brazil, General Sucre replied, that Chiquitos belonged to Peru_ that the Government desired peace, but (lid not fear war—and that unless the Brazilians immediately quitted the province of Chitral tea, he would instantly mar c h against him, and that the Peruvian troops, " not content with delivering their own frontiers, will be ordered to enter the territory of the Power that has shown itself an enemy, and every where carry desolution. terror, and death, to re. vengeout country, and to reply to the insolent note and to the atro. clouts war. whit which your Excellency threatens us." [The Portuguese General, in his note, bad expressed a threat, if he were attaeked, that he V destroy the town, and !care only fregments as a truntlih,:rt it posterity.] COMBINATION AND RIOT OF WORKMEN IN PRA VCE. COURT OF ASSIZES AT ROUEN. The trial of Roustel and his fellow-prisoners for their par t i c i, nation in the riot at Iloulme, was continued on Thursday, th e 22d. No evidence of importance was produced, except that of p labourer on the roods, named Baaire. It was at the suggestion of M. Adeline that lie was called. He stated that he was occupied the whole of the day of the Bth on the part of the road opposite the manufactory ; he was therefore enabled to give an account of nearly all that had token place , li e first saw , early in the morning, N. Leearasseur an d his son walk. ing upon the road, and having done so for some time, he saw them seize a young workman, who was near the manufactory, by the ed. ler, and otherwise ill.freat him. When the workmen were paid, he heard one of them ask for an augmentation, or for the re-delive r y of the bonds they had entered into. The workman who asked this was answered, that those who ltad advised him to act thus had bent.r come forward and cause their engagements to be delivered up to them. After some further detail+ of no importance, the witness proeanled 'to say, that when the first mob s , embled, M. bevavasseur gus t orders to the gendarmes to make a charge, but that the gendarmes were prudent enough not to do it. M. hevacassenr attempted to lay hold of another workman, under the wall of the manufacore, and called the gendarmes to his aid by desiring them to clunk s that canaille. After M. Levavasseur's departure for Rouen, wit, ness saw M. Adeline, the Mayor of limiting, come to the spot, to by his remonstrances caused the mischief which was being d on , to arias. This was when the mob had assembled the secortl time. The gendarmes who had been examined on the previous fist., were then recalled. None of them remembered having seen tt e last witness, Bazire, on the road at the time of the riot. The witness, however, still persisted in his assertion, and ad 8 4,1 that he had spoken with a gendarme at the time. lie did nut recognize him among any of those examined. M. LE PET IT, the Advocate-General, spoke on the part of the prosecution for upwards of two hours. Messrs. Otrranto and DAVIEL, Counsel for Renate' andLefrb. vre, immediately answered the Advocate-General's speech. The Court then adjourned to the following day (Ft Way), whet the trial will in all probability be concluded. if the Jury find the prisoners guilty, Jules ltoustel will be subject to capital punish. went, and the other three to hard labour for fixed periods. • limo PROVINCIAL BANKING COMPANY. As a branch of this Company is now establishing i s Cork, and as the system upon which the banking is car ried on there was stated to be different from that filloptcd in the national and private banks, we thought the suljeet worth inquiring into, and the following is the information we have obtained : Approved bills discount:A at four per cent. Four per cent. charged on cash credits (advances), and two per cunt. allowed on all lodgments, for whatever time the money may remain in the Company's hands. With respect to cash credits, there is this diffurence between the system of the provincial bank and that of the other Esta blishments, that, whereas the latter advance on the respon. sibility of an individual, the former requires the joint security of two persons. This precaution, it if said, has been pi oductive of ill.: hest consequences in Scotland, where it is generally adopted, and is assigned as one of the prin. eipal causes of the comparatively small number of failures that have taken place in that country. This Company advance money on all public securities, on the stock of the Banks of England and Ireland, and on their own stock. They also advance money on bills, with out requiring them to be discounted, and return them on repayment of the sum advanced, of course charging interest for the time. Their liberality is not limited to advances upon the securities we have named, but extends to lauded property, interests in tenements, &c. &c. Bills on London at 21 days are given, and every foci. lity is afforded to persons wanting to pay money•in Dublin promptly. As soon as the branches of the establishment are formed in the several places contemplated tbt oughout the country, bills and drafts on them will be given, by which the in convcnitnce anti risk of remitting note@ will be avoided. and the parties incur no expense. We understand there are several other facilities presented by the establishment, and that it is disposed to accornmo. date in every practicable way the fair trader , adhering to that system which experience has proved to be beneficial to the community, as well as to the Company.—Cerk &Ohm Reporter. TRIAL OF MILITARY PONTOONS. CHATHAM, MONDAY AFTERNOON. His Grace the Duke of Wellington and suite arrived lure early this morning, for the purpose or deciding on the merits of three different sets of pontoons, the inventiops of Sir James Collarton, Colonel Paisley, and Major Blan chard. His Grace was attended by Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and several General Officers, with the Admiral, Sir Robert Moorsom, anti his Captain. The morning was elou.tr, anti threatened for rain; but as the day advanced, it cleated off, and was very fine, which induced all the bea u ty ant i fashion of the neighb ourhood to embark in boats, for the purpose of seeing the Duke, and viewing the different evo lutions, which were performed with such dexterity, Is to call forth the admiration of his Grace anti the Committee of General Officers. It is not yet known which invention is considered the best. Colonel Paisley's are made of cop per, and are very heavy, as well as expensive, and require about twenty men to carry each ; also difficult to launch in a muddy river. Sir James Collarton's are built of weed, which has one great advantage, that the army may cut the timber, and make them on the spot, without much troutl:. Major Blanehard's are made of tin, anti arc so light, that four men may carry one with great ease; they can be kept in repair for a trifling expense, and will carry a much greater weight than either of the others. _ Great praise is due to Colonel Paisley, for the high state of perfection he has brought the Sappers to, in managing these boats; they pulled them up the river, with only six oars to each, against a very strong side, beating the Mini ral's barge with the greatest case. I regret to say, one of the soldiers, by some accident, missed his hold, tell ever board, and was drowned; although there were many bm!s around him, yi t none were fortunate enough to get up in time to save the poor fellow. This is the second or third accident of the same kind, which has happened in trainir the men in the management of the pontoons. It seems a pity, in a river like the Medway, where the tide runs CO strong, that the soldiers who are employed on these rafts are not furnished with some sort of life-preserver as a safe guard, in the event of being knocked overboard. The Duke left Rochester about four o'clock, on his return to London; and it was generally remarked that his Grace was looking thin. We fear his standing so many hours on a wet tassel may prove iejurious to him. NIELANCSIOLY ACCIDENT...Lag Saturday evening. Mr. John Beard, eldest son of T. Beard, Erg. of Rot** dean, was riding at a very moderate pace, on the readies& ing to Kemptown, Brighton, hi s horse fell, and three him with great violence: he pitched on his head, 'Tithe° his hat, which had fallen off; his skull was so dreadfully fractured, that he died about two hours afterwards, though medical skill was promptly called to his assistance. It $ only five weeks ago, this day, that we announced in our paper the marriage of the unfortunate deeesst d untlercli 4 to a very amiable young lady, now, alas! a widow. — SuNrex Advertiser.
