The present severe easterly gales, I our sorry to say, have been attended with some serious losses at the moutft of this bar.. hour.

About eleven o'clock this fine Reginiebt, under the Command of Colonel the Honourable Lincoln Stanhope, drew up in the Military Field adjoining the Barracks in Review Order, when the Inspecting Ventral of Cavalry, Lord IL E. 11.

After close inspection, the Regiment went through their militaty evolutions in fine style, and with surprising ex actness.

The esperiments with the Copper and Buoy Built Pontoons, which commented on the Medway, in September last, were re newest on the Ist October, in the presence of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chiel, attended by several officers of dsiinc- tion, snit were continued with the Buoy Built Boots, by repress command, as understand, until the Silt October. The weather on both the days above named was tremendous; but, Werner tic favourable to spectators, served most decidedly to evince the safety, power, facility of manseuvring, and surpassing strength, of these truly warlike and simply-constructed ins:hints ; in thus repress ing ourselves, we allude particularly to those denominated " gutsy Built l'ont9ons," the invention of Ideittenant-Colunel Sir James R. Colleton, Bart. The accounts hitherto published of the cape riments, have been either so concise, or so entirely confined to the description and maneuvers of the Copper Pontoons. that we had resolved, on this occasion, to watch narrowly the operations un both sides, and judge for ourselves. The reiestioo of coniparmive merit appears to lie within a very small compass; but so much had been 111.2.Crt0.1 and urg-d about the strength of the Copper. and the weakness of the odur zonstructioo, that, with all der, tenet to su perior judges, we confess ourselves at a hiss for the principle upon which these assertions were grounded. The observations now tittered to the puhlic, particularly the mi litary world, (which is entitled to the fullest account diet can prat. dently be given, of a machine on which so many valuable lives de pend,) are necessarily confined, in a great measure, to the Buoy l'ontoons. With their construction we are acquainted ; but, were it otherwise, the simplicity of the figure, i:Sprinciple and proper ties are such, that we had no hesitation in denying the probability of such a fair as had been pronounced against it by the advo cates un the other aide, and anticipated nothing less than the highly satisfactory results which took place on the 4th sod s:h of ()ember. With the construction of rye Copper Pontoons we are not so well acquainted, and must, th.ereore. leave the task of de strthing their merits to slder hands. %Cr shall only tmeh upon such points of comperisou as are necessary to give our readers a clear idea of the subjest. The number of feet of bridge to each carriage on the road—the ntunber of men •that can be borne on the rafts, formed by a given number of carriages (which are always impediments to the movements of artunto—the weight the rafts ram bear when grottn.lcd, as well as afloat —and the weight of each carriage—appear to comprise the points most 'witty of attentio4. .
