w- -+-- t - PRINCE OF WALES'S ISLAND. As the notice• of the Public, and the attention ' of the Proprietors of India Stock, have been.excited by the arrangebients in contemplation for the Prince of Wales's Island, we persuade ourselves that we discharge a duty grateful to our friends, by enabling them to judge of the source and the motives from whence the measure proceeds. EXTRACT. LORIf MELVILLB TO LOILD WELLifILLY, JULY 4, 1130 S. " The short .tote I lately wrote to your Lordship by an over land cotiveyame, will have prepared you for the letter with which 1 ant now t., trou'a!e you, on the subject of building ships in India. It if alntott twenty years since I first had occa sits* to consider that subject, anti 1 had much conversation w ith Sir Cherie. Middleton u.mn it, when lie was Commissioner of the Navy. lily einem:Mon witu the Ailuthristration of India brought the same idea after occas'emally before roe, and my oirintinei both as to the utility and practicability of the plan have never vaned. I am :ware that many of the statements which er , r,i before mu were too sanguine, and many of them came inns persons who had given only a seperhcial attention to the aufp,ci t but the gmer.il o;nnion wa, so prevalent, and the t. soi l s which so fraqtreatly to this cuuutry, impressed tis a qrntag etaaric:ton, that with a view both to marine oral c imonneiel purinsm, toner:ninny must one day avail itself t'..2 ealuabla resource it hat for ship building in India When my neiMe Nlr Piuhip Durelas, returned from India about twelve mouths ago, I was naciroos rot my u*ll Yatisrae tint). to talk over the subjezt infinitely with hit]. The situa tion he bad held at Bombay gave him the bast means nf inform -341014 and I way the inur.• desirous to COrliereo with him, as 11,t was the very revetse of being sanguine in his ideas en the sMaioer, and tended to couutcrbahniee what I might conceive t toe to., satig-itie ideas of others. I had a fuil cunitersa t ion with hint la.t sanimer in Scotland, and I iced yes No. I. a minute that COUVenatigni. I likewise soul you copy of a inemseinclum I have lard, wrceivell from him, No. 11. " It has lately become my duty to examitte the thing to the bottom with a view to the pieseical use of this syste.n. That your LOTtliillia may be fully Infortned on the subject, I send you a Corteseondence I have lately had with the Navy Hoard, lions the perusal of which you will perceive the gre a t impart slice of the measures on which I am addressing you, and it will save me the necessity of troubling you with so long a letter as might otherwise have been ilecesary. With the salon view I send you a true Minutes, which, within these few days, have been put irate niv bands by Mr. Philip Dundas ; they are drawn up by a Mr. T. e, recently returned from India ' and whose aitentioti hash-mu accurately drawn to the particula rs he details, from his being himself engaged in the business of ship-building in India. He. rt,t ids are certainly inure minute than any I have rem:iv d , anti are unite satisfactory, as being founded on per a,seal obae...ition I had a vet : rig conveisation with hint yesterday, at Wirsi!ileihro, Sir pra.ntae of Sir Andrew Ham mond and nephew Mi.

If I am right in thi , position, it i,obviou. that a naval station, fur the building and repairing vessels of every descriptaon, on both sides of would be a great accommodation to our Naval interests in the Indian Ocean ; a nasal establishment, therefore, a: Prince of Wales's bland affords no argument for undervaluing and ne glecting the establishinvot now existing ..t doinbAy. ! " With regard to the authority and controlling power to be exercised over the Dock, and Nasal Arsenals in India, I ant tisfiel there can be nu divided autituray ; and as I am ftrongly inclined to the opinion that the building accommodations are to be :natio and kept up al the exl.erice of the East India Cernr vaity, it Will he eligible in many po,nts of view that they should be their property.and k pt under the are and manage malt or their sersaiiti this is imeuliarly necessary un account of the native artificer s on whom it will be wise fur us to rely fur the building of our ...hips in India. The Company's tenants acclistonieil to their in A1111(44 and habits, and will deal with ....... . - theft accordingly. But if we were to introduce into the Docks in India a multitude of European workmen, or even a number of European overseer: and superintendants, it would probably be pr,dufltere of disagreeable circumstances, if the manners, or ten prejudices of the natives were to he hurt or outraged by a species of planners and habits to which they were net accustomed. in stating this 1 do not mean to contend that the Navy Board of this Country are nut to have a few persons place., at the building stations in India, in order to be certain that the ships are built according to the drafts mid models which they have approved of, and that no insufficient materials are introduced, or insufficient workmanship allowed in the construction of the ships; out all this is perfectly con sistent with the superintending coutroul and authority of the Cninpany's servants over the subordinate area:els in the Dock Yards. When faiths are observed, the poems iterne• !hotely in the employ of the Navy Broad CAR have them pre vented and resumed thron;"l the interposition of the Corn bany's servants, oil a proper representation made fur the pur- Vele " If this system is adopted, and cordially and honourably acted upon by the East hula Company, as I have no doubt it will be, every thing will proceed sinuotely. It will be the be sitiess of the Company to take care that their arsenals and store• houses are amply supplied with seasoned timber, and every other material requisite for the execution of the business; and as the East India Compauy can have no view of making :shy profit to themselves, on such a national concern, they will, when a ship for Ili. Majesty's navy is completed, tike such proper means as shall he settled betties.° them a'nl tile Navy Board, fur ascertaining the suns which the dm) ;ie. est them, when the account is certified by the potions authorised by the Navy Board. I are satisfied this will move to be both the cheapest and in every other respect the most beneficial method of conducting this great national object. " It is net my intention to enter upon any of the derails by which there arrangentenu are to be settled bctween the 4WICfII - and the Eau India Compete They and the Comptroller of the Navy are Infinitely more competent for the adjustment of such details than I can pretend te be. It is sufficient for me to chalk out the erate.iel heads of the system, and if either of the ?wide wish from me any further explanations, I will be /auto ready to listen to them. When they are finally eilju.ted, a; I trust they will be speedily, directions upon tee whole of the hilliness will be cosiveyed to the Coin piny.* servants in Indio in proper official term.

Two days afterwards met with a vessel from Varel, to Charlestown, which had been driven out of the river by the ice. Captain Koster took two pilots out of this vessel ; but the wind blowing strong from E. to E. S. E. and finding it impossible to enter the river, put back and made for this port, where he ar rived without any damage. He brings an account of the safe arrival at Varel of the Henricl: and (7,i/44- /Mu, Addis; and Hclasn, Johannes, both from hence. The Adelaide, Clerde , ., bound from this port to 'fonningen, had been obliged to put into Varel.
