Arrived the *Am:leer, Wheeler, from St. Jago de Cuba, last from the Bahamas. Captain W. reports that the day previous to his sailing, a piratical schooner, with 70 men on board, was taken by a Preach frigate off St. Domino, and carried into St. Jago: the frigate again proceeded to sea. In the House of Lords, last night, Lord MELVILLE took occasion to say—" had he been a Member of the House of Commons he should certainly have opposed the reduction of the Lords of the Admiralty to five, that umber being insufficient for the due discharge of the bisioess of the Board, without the greatest inconve nience." We have no doubt of the sincerity of his Lordship's observation. Bat we thank Got► the House is wiser than my Lord MELVILLE ; for which circum stance, we are obliged to the 4grierltrral distresses, which have very greatly cleared away the film from the eyes of the Country Gentlemen. They have found out that, if even it were erne that floe Lords were not enough to transact the business of the Admiralty with perfect safety to the country, they had better incur Me hazard of losing their estates by an evasion of a fo reign enemy, than be reduced to the certainty of los ing them by the enemy within. the corruption and re pacity which preys upon their estates, and upon all in come in the kingdom. There is a chance, at least, that the successful invader, and conqueror of the Country, might spare private property, and restore the Nobility and Gentry tbeit lands. But there is no hope, no chance of escape, from a rapacious and un principled administration, whose professed maxim is— that Connuenow is neeessary to the keeping up the present ilfinenee of the CROWN, without which in fluence they cannot carry on the affairs of the State. They, therefore, wisely ran the hazard of • foreign invasion (if there be any, from having five instead of seven Lords at the Admiralty Board) rather than de lay to commence practical retrenchment, in the retitle' Zion of the'olises and salaries of the State. But Lord Mcbvibbe will fail to convince the country, that five Lords (he being one of them) will not do the business of the Admiralty u well as fire thousand. AS ed asshi ovum: Loring DAV. .....

The disturbance mentioned the other day, as having occurred in the capital has entirely sob sided, and every thing appears in a tranquil state.— Intelligence by the Fisoden mall received last night I is still of a very warlike complexion, while accounts from Odessa, of a later date than the former des patches are altogether of a differost character.

The intemst excited on this seeeslin was encomium, ; end the canvass previously made is behalf of geodetic!, to ill the respective offices has seldom bees eleeeded at a Parliamentary Election -- l• order to uNderstaid the feeling thus called forth, it asset be premised that the parochial business, which had heretofore been managed by overseers, sod a g e. sera' vestry. Is the usual manse?, had recently been coadacted austere local Act of Parliament, which d the manageineat in two Overseers, with so Assistant' Overseer, who acted rider the costrohl of tone 'edi tors, and forty other Geotlemen who coustitnted a Committee. Tide Act had been obtaised sealers the will of unsay of the inhabitaats, sad bad been ren dered more obsoxioes, is consequence of having oc casiosed the expense of smother Act to alter and amend the gust. From the power it yed to the officers being considered as of too exclusive • satire, nr as liable to @hose, or haring been setnsily abased, the proceedings of the first set of Commissioners lad become exceedingly napopular, and their meetings had est been the mere conciliatory from baying con. ' stantly ClitifiTGentlemia (tbe Ciente) kr their President. From one cause or another. therefore. • spirit of opposition bad been raised tbronghoot the parish, and on the encash,. of the Anneal Election of officer., appointed under this Act of Raiment. it was determined to endeavour to effect a cheep,. So strung sad g I was the opposition, that the spirit of the party which had previously possessed the seat of power, very rapidly gave way, and the proceedings of yesterday were distinguished with a harmony and good order which have rarely been surpassed on any occasion of popular triumph. On the parishioners having assembled, _Edward James Masten. Esq. was called to the Chair, and opened the business of the day by explaining the pur poses for which the meeting was held and expressing his•hope that every gentleman disposed to spool might have a patient hearing whatever might be Isis senti ments._ Mr. TIAMPION followed, and in a very able speech detailed the condition of the parish, and the objects which the parishioners should bold in wind; conelud ing with a proposition that the thanks of the Meeting should .4 presented to L. T. Flood, Rm. for the ex ertions be bad made in promoting these desirable views. The parochial accounts and books having been de livered in and examined. Mr. R. Ngsvmas addressed the Meeting upon the general mode in wkieh the business of the parish was eondoctesi. &observed that at this time it was yery apparent there was only one end in view, tin might be different spiaiens as to the pi that end. We are all, said he. friend egnally interestsd in the objects of of netessity there must be a general men." 4 - Respecting these g • ;14min 1' end "' peace oho are penceded they ha lave no sinister e+ td view, and could not look for asy recompense of reward : and that when their period of service shall bare expired they would be remunerated by the parish at large, who would suite and say " well dome good aud faith ful servants." Tbe parish requires nothing but what is fair and open. The husinees and office of the Over seers are to see that the rates when made be duly collected, and the monies properly applied, and after wards to produce their books for inspection, Sm..- --(Applause.)—To this end let your Vestry Clerk be intrusted to take the names of defaulters in the poor's rates, &c. It is wisely said "no man can masters :" yet your Vestry Clerk has d eight or ten.—(Laughter and confusion.) The Chairman, at the request of several of the pa rishioners, after the proposition had been put and carried, named the first four persona upon the list, as the fittest to be auditors for the ensuing year. These gentlemen were limy Buret, E.q. blr.Jono New- TON, Mr. Sousa, and Mr. W. WHITEUZ•D. Several of the parishioner , expressing an opinion that this proceeding was irregular, the names were then proposed separately, and being seconded, the several gentlemen were finally elected. L. T. FLOOD, Esq. from the gallery, addressed the Meeting, and-remarked, that when he came there that morning he intended to he a spectator only, but find ing Isis name was mentioned, and thanks had bees of fered him as a Local Magistrate, be had taken the liberty to address the Meeting.—They would allow him to say, that by the insertion of his name only in the rote of thanks, they thereby conveyed a severe, or seem ingly , reflection upon the other Local Magis trate, sod in case the assistance of these gentlemen was required by the prishioners, they might deprive them selves of it, as it would naturally occar to them to saY, " No, you have marked us with contempt, and, thete fore, we will not now act." ,These considerations he *brained to the Meeting. The Rev. S. WM. TRACT remarked, basing wit nessed so much good sense and good humour in the hour which had elapsed in this meeting, he could not but express his happiness at meeting s. large a body of parishioners and finding them so animated with the feelings then exhibited. It did appear to him, that there was a disposition to snake up on this joyful oc cation for their former supineness. Ile called it a joyful occasion, since there wrs an anion of the whole parish. A decorum the most gentlemanly that could be possibly manifested, bad, this day, hitherto been exercised, and he doubted not it would be continued till the whole basin?, was disposed of. He trusted that the one object in view would he accomplished. and that a just and necessary reform would go hand in band with a provision and protection for the poor. The following geatlemen were then proposed as a Committee for the management of the parochial af fairs, and the proposition was unanimously carried: Pots THE Na, Tows.—Coptsin Arklum. R. N.
