" MILFORD, sarramsait 11. go I dropped yau a hasty line on &sudsy last, to inform you ~r the arrival of the ro)al squadron at Milford Haven, with the King and suite on board. The fiord George yacht, on hoard which was his Majesty, anchored about half-part 1/ o'clock, with the 'Royal Soeereigx (royal yacht), Active, and Liffey frigates, Hied and Wulf sloops of war, and 'resent! Admiralty and Iteverstie centers, and private tschta, off Milford. On Sunday evening there was n pretty general illumination, which was repeated on Monday night, with the addition of the dis charge of some pieces of cannon, exhibition of flags, display of fire-works, Ike. " Milford n•as in a short time after the arrival of the royal fleet crowded with spectators fron► dif ferent parts of the country and the neighbouring towns; that part of the harbour was literally covered with yachts, pleasure-boats, &c. which were crowded by the many persons who were anxious to see their beloved Sovereign, but they were unfortunately dis appointed from the reason, stated in the follow ing extract of a note •ddtessed by Commodore the lon. Sir Charles Paget to li. Leach, E•q. Collec tor of his Nlajeety's Customs at Milford, dated yesterday, 5 p.m.—' Sir Charles Paget cannot con clude this note without sincerely lamenting that the temporary indisposition of his Majesty from sea-sickness should have prevented the King from appearing on deck, and personally acknowledging. to his loyal subjects his satisfaction at their warm congratulations on Ins •rival at Milford Doyen.' r• Last night the wind shifted from the south ward to the northward of west; at shout half-past four this morning the sigma war made, and the ships got under weigh at tive,and worked down the harbour with a line breeze at N.N.W. ; at half-past seven the Royal George was clear of the harbour, and at eight the whole of the squadron was out of it, with • fresh breeze tot W.N.W. which will en able them to steer their course to the Laud's End ; the morning is very fine, and a prospect of a plea sant pas-age most favourable; the spectacle was magnificent. " The only accident which has happened was et the village of Dale, where the inhabitants were tes tifying their loyalty by the discharge of a piece of ca►moo; unfortunately it burst and killed a poor pilot, of the name of William Flail, on the spot ; he has left • family to lament liis low."—( Bristol Gazette.) _ DERBYSHIRE BOW MEETING. Ca'intermit rennet speak* of this fete as one of the moat elegant, Ray, and fascinating meetings ever held In 'the county. The urbanity sad 'munificence of his 6Poce the Mike of Devonshire appear to have given a deli;eal cha racter to the other attractions or Ike day, and to have ren dered the virginity of Bowmen, their invited triter/rt. and the numerous spectators, far more than satisfied with the retertmineveis of which they were partakers. The second meeting of the Derbyshire Bowmen was held on Monday last at Edensor. and was attracted bye ••1111111111.11 and brillimit company. The place where the targets were fined was one of the most beautiful situations in the oeigh bnoring riik of Chatsworth, occupying the west bank of the river, within view of the Roble 'mansion of his Grace the Duke of Devonshisire. The party assembling to eager in the graceful amusement to which the slay was devoted, arrived on the ground soon after twelve. A large tent was pitched fur their accutamodetion, *nil numerous splendid equipages, among which the state carriage and handsome retinue of the Duke of Devonshire was conspicuous, gave additional animation to the lively scene. Nothing of the kind can be imagined more varied or enchanting; the eye wherever it was directed rested on reeks or hills, ou woods ur lawns, on verdant slopes, or the windings of Me river; while the sylvan forme, the beanteons and manly proportions of the archers, attired in their elegant costdmes, war eon. *tautly changing their stationa, cad thus diversifying the agreeable picture. Two exeelleut bands of music (the aux too band, and that of the Derbyshire militia), still further enlarged the whole, by the 'election of appropriate airs which one performed with the most correct execution. The archery commenced • little before one, and was maintained with great spirit till about four, when the following Ladies and Gentlemen were prochilitird victors : For the first and second prises (Lselia) Miss !Rent, Miss Cranford—(Gentlemen) Colonel Chewer, Rev. J. Hort. Through the whole of the afternoon the weather conti. awed revolvable, re that there was no octasiou to leave even ' the open seats fur the shelter of the tent. Leaving this truly magnificent park, the tethers and their frauds meet to the inn et Edertior, and about six o'clock were 'innovated to a most exeelltnt dinner, provided by Mr. Outran,, in a nations bans which was fitted up with great rare and eonvesleuee for this Occasion. Fish mid game and *Raison were added to a umpteen. cold ebllation, and these weer rucreeded by the abide-est confectionery, anti fruits of the richest variety sail Radon.. In addition to the finest wines, petal's fa itossatin was Supplied in unsparing abueelsnee to the high gratification of all who tasted it.— The generosity of the Duke of 'Df•oushire contributed ! greatly to the hanky of the whole repast, and his politeness and affability were yet more delightful to the tioneleout patty. &not after dinner the Duke presented a bestirs! bawl, Ins Laah•• of the Club, to be assigned to the one who aheald! hew fortunate as to draw a rayons ite number. The &sisal of'this splendid ornament was • diamond arrow piercing al beautiful heart, shaped emerald, and it fell to the lug of Mrs. Were. After dlriller the Ladies retired to the inn, and were soon followed by the Gentlemen, bat not before they had exprem.. ed their *es, of the Duke's kindness by drinking his health eat' tires times three. At the inn lea was provided, and whilst the company were ,taking of this refieshment, they were rutertateed with a very spleadid display of fire-works, these also having been "'limed by his Grace. Meats while the place where the ~, ,, turer had been provided was corset led into a ball-room; was &oat tastefully acid brilliantly lighted with 42 kappa; and its ceerful appearance invited the party to engage in the mazes of the dance. Quadrilles were immediately com 'neared, and were kept up with unfired gaiety from 9 o'clock till hear twelve. The company then reluctantly separated, and resumed under a starry cauupy to their several places of r .t, infi.citely gratified by all that they had witnessed. Among the numerous and splendid asaeiahly we noticed hi , Grace the Duke of Deeuieshwe, Viscount and Viscountess :larpeth and their daughter, Viscount and Viscountess Kin 'laird, Lady Scarsdale, lion.

On Thursday se'nnight Lieutenant-Colonel Sir . Robert Wilmot and the Officers of the Derbyshire Yeomanry Cavalry gave a bull, in the New Assem bly Rooms, to a very numerous company of the Nobility and Gentry of the county and immediate neighbourhood. As the invitations 'for this fete were issued two months previous to its celebration, great pleasure was anticipated from it ; but any expectations that had been previously formed fell short of the satisfaction actually experienced.— Great preparations had been made for the accom modation of the party invited ; and, these being worthy of the taste and liberality of the Gentlemen who gave the enteitaininent, i.othitig was omitted which could contribute to the gaiety or comfort of the evening. On entering the ball-room we were struck with an appearance of larger dimension, than usual, and were at fist at a loss to account fur this circumstance. It proceeded, however, from the removal of the front range of seals and the drapery under the orchestra, from en improved dis position of the lights at the upper end of the room, from the general brilliancy wilt which it was illu minated, sad the excellent effect produced by the chalking of the floor. The design was something like the pattern of an immense carpet ; it consisted of eight•compartments, each having iii its centre a vase containing flowers, its corners enriched with Grecian ornaments, and surrounded by a border formed of equal and contiguous circles. Iu the centre of the whole were the arms of the county, ■nd the initials of his present Most G.acioua Ma jesty. The stairs and pi.ssages, the floors of die supper awl tea-rooms were completely covered with cloth on this occasion, and the effect was extremely agreeable. The baud of the yeomanry, and that of the militia were in attendance, and played favou rite airs, previously to the dancing antl during the intervals of rest reqoired by the orchestra. The company begun to assemble soon after nine, and party after party was announced in long and gay succession till the room was filled with rank and beauty, elegance and fashion; the whole forming a scene of splendour and festivity seldom witnessed. The variety of handsome uniforms worn by the Officers of the Derbyshire yeomanry, and by such of their guests as were attached to the regiments of the line, or other local corps, completely compen. cited for the sombre appearance of the motioning dresses. Dis Grace the Duke of Devonshire ap peared in full costume as Lord Lieutenant of the county ; t. profusion of diamonds, and tasteful de corations lent their lustre and attractions to the charms of the Ladies, and we never observed better taste displayed in dress than on the present occasion. In addition to all this, every body seemed iu lively spirits and good humour, and the sociality of the room was sustained through the whole evening by the unremitting courtesy and kind attentions of the Lieut.-Colonel and his Officers. Dancing commenced a little before ten ; the ball being opened by Colonel Clown, and the elegant bride of Charles Clarke, Esq. This graceful and social exercise was enjoyed with unusual animation. Country dances and quadrilles alternately prevailed, and were continued, with scarcely any intermission, till a late hour of the following morning. Soon after twelve the supper and ten rooms were thrown open for refrealimenia; and here we ad mired the novelty and excellence of the arrange ments, Unfortunately for the frequenters of the Derby assemblies, the lower rooms bear no pro portion to the beauty of the ball room ; they are small and low, and every way inconvenient. These disadvantages had beer. in a considerable degree remedied on this - evening. by arranging the tablet along the four sine► or the rooms. leaving behind them a space sufficient for the butlers and waiter., who were thus enabled to attend with 'he greatest ease to the company occupying the centre; and as sto fixed hour was appointed for supper, parties faille for refreshments as they were disengaged from the dance, and, returning to the ball room, made way for others. On entering the rooms where the refreshments were provided, we were feinted with the display of every rarity %Inch the season afforded, ind with a combination of artificial delicacies, ar ranged with the incest taste and in the richest abundance. From the supper•rooms the guests reftmed - to the ball-room ; and it was late before the first car- t riages were announced to bear away any of the party from this lively acetic of attraction. The dancing was not ended till four in the morning, and the company slid not finally disperse till five.—We retired as finin fairy ground, delighted that four hundred people should have been so well accom modated, and made so happy; and admiring io common with every individual who had been present, the politeness, the affability, and the liberality of Lieutenunt-Colouel Sir Hubert Wilmot and the Officers of the Derbyshire Yeomanry Cavalry.

EIXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE ([TTER.] His Majesty's ship Carnation, Captain Roger Hall, spaded fur Portsmouth on the 7th inst, to be paid of The French corvette of war Italliner, Captain Anon, arrived on the 8111, in 18 days Isom Marti nique, bringing the news of the death of Bonaparte: she saluted the glucose!' and the navy, both of which were returned. This being the first French man of war that has anchored at Halifix since toe peace, much attentiou was paid to the Captain, Officer,. and crew. The Captain and Officers were splendidly enter tained by the Governor, at the different regimental messes, and by the Officers of the Navy and Staff. The Millenr sailed for France oil the 16th, every body on board expressing the highest delight and gratitude at the hospitable reception they had met with. Before she got under weigh she saluted, and was answered by Fort Charlotte, and again saluted when she had dropped • down opposite Government House, which was returned by his Majesty's ship Phaeton. Opt the I4th came in from Falmouth the Loyal Briton and Brilliant transport., with officers and men for the royal artillery, 60th, 62i1. and 74th regiments. There detachmants sailed from Cowes in 3111 lam s in the ship William, hired fur the voy age, but after 'proceeding a third of it, she war found 19 be in such a dreadfully decayed and leaky state. that they were obliged. as the only chance to save their lives, to put back again, and with much diffi culty. From the incredible exertions an the part of both officers and men, they barely managed to run her on shore under Pen:lentils Castle, in Falmouth harbour. Sir James Kempt, the Lieutenant-Governor, re. turned on the Ilth from an extensive tour of inspec tion to the eastward, and leaves Halifax again in the Government brig Chebuctoo, in a few days. for the island of Cope Breton. Ilia Excellency is inde fatigable, and fully merits, as he receiver, the warmest gratitude and respect of every individual, for his miwtared exertions and attention to the welfare and prosperity of the province. SUICIDES. Thursday evening, between seven and right o'clock, a young woman, about twenty years of age, very decently at tired, was seen on Water loo.bridge in a very sorrowful mood for a length of time, and she then left the place. Shortly afterwards she was again seen by a waterman at the Strand aide of the bridge, and it was not long before she, unperceiv. ed by any one, climbed over the balustrade at this side of the tolhhuuee, and precipitated herself therefrom into the water. A shriek was heard, and a sound as if she bad dashed against the stones prior to her reaching the water, and the uu fortunate woman must have been killed in her fall. Several watermen immediately proceeded to her assistance, but the tide had washed the body away, and the watermen continued dragging until eleven o'clock without success, nor did they succeed in finding the body yesterday, although every effort was made. The same young woman was pre vented at an earlier hour In the evening putting her rash de sign luto executior. 1,1 Baween eleven and twelve o'clock on Thursday forenoon as the Banbury coach, which sets not from the Bell and Crown Inn, Holborn, stopped at the house of Mr. Wood ward, the White Hart, Southall, Cur the purpose of cheat lug Werra, the passengers alighted and went into the house to take refreshment, and on their being summoned by the coachman to resume their placer, use of the gentlemen was discovered to be miming. A search took place, when, horri ble to relate, be was found lying . iiitbe yard on his back be. twerp two coaches, with his throat cut in a moat shocking manner, and weltering in his blood. A penknife was lying by his side covered with blood, and is supposed to have been the deadly instrument. He was carried into the house, and surgical aid was prompt in attendance, but be expired in about ten minutes. There was no papers found about him to lead to a discovery who he wits; IS sovereigns aad a gold watch were found in his pocket, and gives over by Mr. Woodward to a gentlemau who accompanied the unfortu nate mao, and who promised to attend the Corvette' Inquest this evening, when he will give the necessary tuformatioe. On luquiry yesterday at the Bell Lad Crown we teamed that the deceased and another Gentlemen look their places in the Banbury coach in the name of i tlarnell, to go as far as Winslow; that he was • gentlemanly looking msu, about 35 years of age, and that mut all they knew of him. A bill of indictment preferred by Mr. Swaim, •of the Bridge-street gang. against Mr. Pumps, the proprietor of the Pines, was on Thursday thrown out by the MiddJerez Grand Jury. The indictment was for a libel, founded upon a report of Mr. WAIIIIIKAN'S speech at the Common Hall, at the late election of Sheriff's, em which occasion Mr. WAITHIWAN certainly gave Mr. SHARP • very sharp trimming. The bill was thrown est, and in so doing the Grand Jury acted justly sod wisely. %VII. the Ants was selected for prosecution by this worthy Society we do not know. The report which had the mistOrtune to incur its magnanimous dis pleasure, we believe, did not originate in that very respectable I.'aper. The Semiramis frigate, of 4i inns, his been brought forward for sea ; Captain THOMAS INS.. X ISSON is appointed to the command of her. The harms sloop, lately returned from the Bra zils, has been paid off at Portsmouth, sud recoio missioned t►y Capt. THOMAS HERBERT. The Sprey slonp,Captain Bostrau., lately re turned from the Mediterranean, is to be paid off all standing, and recommisaioned at Plymouth. The Insolvent Debtors' Court will sit in the Ex clieqoer Chamber on Wednesday and Thursday next fur the regular dispatch of business. The neat ittiugs of the Court are fixed for Friday and Satur day, the 211th and 29th of this month, and Monday and Tuesday, the 1.1 and 2d of October. There ate thirty cases appointed for each of these four day., but the Court will inquire only into those which shall not be opposed. Those that shall be marked 44 opposed" are to stand over until Fri day and Saturday, the 12th and 13th of October, which will be occupied exclusively by the consi. derstiou of these adjourned cases. Ott Tvesdayse'nnight, whilst Mr. GRIT was va luing lith•s in the precincts of Goolonue..bridge, covey Clare, lie was assailed by five fellows, who beat him so severely that his life was supposed to be in mamma dati4er. Two wen, who came to Mr. Case's asaristatice, were also most desperately ill used by the said party. Sienil.ir assaults were committed upon two Proctors in the neighbourhood of Kildimo, ou Thursday. OLD BllLar SESSIONS, lIIIDAY, SEPTUM* 13. .--....u...--- Williams Pert and Ash', Tipper were indicted for forging and counterfeinu,g a bill of exchange for 26/. I7s. with intent to - defraud William Howell and cud Co. bookers of Birehiii-lane. Witham Howell exstnined.—He owed that he was a gnu-maker, living at Birmingham. Ile r•- coved an order by a letter on the lath Ju!y, signed 'ripper, whose person he did not know, for a doable and r single barrel gun. He was in Lon. doss at the time and went to No. I. Marlborough street, to inquire for Mr. Tipper; he saw a woman in the house who could give him no information ; he went again in the afternoon, and again saw the woman and left his card, and requested Mr. Tipper to call on him. lie had Ito' left the house but • few minutes before the Prisoners overtook him, and asked him if lois name was I lowell —he said it was. They wished to know if he understood the order. One gave his name Tipper, hut proved afterwards to be Putt. This was on the Wednesday, when Friday was fixed for looking at the patterns, that was the dry after the coronation ; accordingly they came and looked at the guns. Witness said he could not past with those which they had looked at. They said they would pay by • banker's hill, on delivery of the goods. On the 27th July lie received a banker's bill for 171. 4s. 6.1. for one of the guns, and on the I Ith August, another bill for 161. 17s. was sent him, which he sent to a friend of his named Jennings. Ile did not know thin it was a bad bill till some time efterwards, when it was re turned unpaid. It is the same bill now in Court. Robert Sherringtuie deposed that he keeps a public-house, called the Two Aogels and Crown, in St. Martin's-la s e ; he received from Mr. Hoedl two guns, at the same time instructions respecting the way in which he was to dispose of them. Pott came to witness on 26th July, and asked whether they had got some guns from Mr. Howell 1 Wit ness replied in the affirmative, and Pott gave him a bill fur 171. 2.. and the gulls were delivered to the prisoner Pott. IVitness asked Pott his name, and he said it was Tipper. On the 11th August Poll came again, and witness delivered to him a bog of guns, which he had received from Mr. Howell, with directions to give it up to Pott, on receiving a similar bill. The Prisoner gave him a bill for 261. 17c—the bill now in Court is the one the Prisoner Pott gave him. In the converration which witness had with Pott he called him Tipper, and the Prisoner answered to that name. The bill was sent to Mr. Howell on the same day. Cross examined by Mr. A DitEMS.—Witness made no inquiry respecting the first bill, because he knew the house in Birelon-lane to be a good one. Witness first learned Pott's real name after be was in custody, from himself; he learned that the house of Williams and Co. is No. 20, Birchin lane ; when he received the bill fur the 261. 17s. from Pott no other person was present but a man who came with Pete, and who took sway the box by his (Putt's) desire. George Jennings stated, that he was a friend of Mr. Howell's, and on August 15 received a bill from him ; the amount was 261. 17s. (The bill in Court was the one lie received.) He went as Mr. Howell directed to inquire at Messrs. Williams and Co. whether the bill was a good one. According to the direction on the bill, he went first to No. 3, Birchire-lane, and there saw a Gentlemen° making up papers. He thought it was a strange plaoe, and asked whether it was Williams's, the bankers. He was answered it was Williams'., but not the bankers. There was a large brass plate on the en trance door, hearing the inscription of Williams and Cu. There ass a long dark passage through which he went, and tu r • g to the right, lie saw u woman folding linen. He observed nothing which gave the •place the appearance of a house of busi ness. He knocked at s door which he thought was an office, on the same lauiling-place, written on "attendance from ten till four." Ile then went to Messrs. IVillimus, the backers, and thawed them the acceptance on the bill, and they said it was not right, and witness went away. He wrote to Mr. Howell, in consequence of which he received an answer from hien. After this the Prisoners called upon witness at his lodgings, at the Red Lion and Still, in Drury-lane. He was not at home, aid the Prisoners left word they would call again. They called on the Saturday morning, and Pott intro duced himself es Tipper. Tipper himself said that he called upon Williams at the request of Mr. Howell to do some business with lain. Witness told them that he was not prepared to transact business at that time, and told them to call on Mouday. In the interim lie wrote to Mr. Howell Jesuitic him to conic up to town, and he did in consequence come to London, and when the Pri soners called ou Monday he caused them to be ap prehended. Mary Woodhall examined.—She stated that she lives it No. 3. Birchin-lane ; she knew Tipper, the man at the bar. A man of the name of Williams hired a counting-house, a dining-room, and a bed room, at her bruise, ou the Ist of November. The rooms were hired in .the names of Williams, Tip per, and Co.; the counting-house had formerly been used as an office by a ship-broker. Mr. Wil liams came to the couuting•house one day after it was hired, with a man of the name of German, and his wife, who remained there as clerk. There was a man in the counting-house when Mr. Jennings called; witness did not know the man's name; she was told Williams came to the house on Sundays, but she never saw him. Tipper used to be at the house cosestautly ; she never saw Putt there. There was some sort of banking business carried on by the firm, ouch as exclsabging notes. This business went on till Tipper was taken into custody, when it stop ped. German acted as clerk. Tipper was one of the firm ; she was to receive 801. rent for the year. She • had net received a farthing of this money except ing a quarter in advance. When the second quar ter was due, she applied for it, and they said they would not pay it. Mr. German paid the first quarter, best refused to pay the second. She did not apply to Mr. Tipper for the rent. Cross-examined—She saw once or twice notes paid similar to those in Court. There was a person regularly attending ; there were hooks iu the count. ing-honse, and papers of business. She Cu in the habit of letting her counting-house to various people of business. Mr. Barges, a partner in the house of Wil liams and Co. banker, was the next witnesseatled, hot he Ins not io of tesideneei A Messenger Ind been dinp4telied for him.

A release was accordingly prepar-il and executed, slier n coosid-ralele delay, arising lo o n the Prose cesien's having employed no legal assistance. Mr. Biro,.

The Prosecutor excused himself, saying lie heed been told the cave was so clear there would be tie twerssity for employing any legal assistance— W. H. Burgess's examination was then resumed. The accepiance is not at all like the hand of airy persons in witness's house. It is not the acceptance of any person in the house. It is alw•als H partner who accepts the bills, and that is not lie hand.wri . - ing of sny one of the partners.

Teas&le Cockell examined by Mr. ANDREWS. —lle is iu the office at Someset House for licensing bankers. Ou the efith February, MI, a license was taken out in the names of Wm. Williams, John Tipper, ■nd John Williams, all residing at Swansea, in the County of Glamorgan. No li cense is necessary, unless it be to issue mites paya ble to bearer ou demand. The license endures to the 10th October following. lie does not know the persons who obtained it. A copy of the bill which the house means to issue is required by the Act of Parliament.—(Copy of the bill was put iii.) Mr. Baron GRAHAM then summed up the eri deuce to the Jury, and observed, that if they were of opinion the bill was made with the idea that any person reading it should take it for an acceptance of the established house of Williams and Co. it was a false instrument. In judging of that the p►incipal thing fm them to look to was the solidify of this house of Williams and Co. at No. 3, and in that respect there was little matter of doubt, fur if there were a house or firm at Swansea, it was com petent for the Prisoners to ha►e celled evidence to have shewn it. It was true there was a banking license taken out for that house, and there might be such a firm, but there was no evidence to cot.- nect the Prisoners with it ; there was no evidence to shew that either of the Prisoners wade the bill. and the evidence of uttering applied to Pint only ; if the►efore, the Jury should be of opinion that the instrument was uttered with the intention to avail themselves of the credit of the established house, they would find accordingly. The Jury retired for about three quarters of An hour, when they returned with a verdict at,saiiist both the Prisoners of Guilty of uttering with intent to defraud. Mr. Baron GatUAM desired the Jury to recon sider their verdict, as there was no evidence to mi.. &sect the Prisoner Tipper with the uttering. The Jury deliberated for a short period, wire►► they returned a verdict of God by agamst Port— Tipper Not Gritty. Mr. Baron GRA•IY asked if they found that the intention was to make the instrument assume the credit of the established house of Williams and Co.? One of the Ju►y said No; mud after again deli berating in the box for a few mioutes, they again retired, and in half an hour returned with a verdict of Mot Godly as to Topper—Putt Guilty of utter ing with intent to defraud.
