COMMITTEE OF LLOYD'S. Os perusing t►e public prints a day or two sine?, my at. tention was particularly attracted to as aerosol of the loss of the brig Spence. Michael Wilson, master. at St. Motes, in the island of Newfoundland. os the leih of July last; sad (min the late melancholy loss of his Majesty's brig Drake, at the same place, I AM induced to offer a few oh. 'emulous on the reasons why those losses have so fre quently occurred at that place within • few years, mid without the survivors being able to account fur them, and also to point out the means of avoiding them in future, if those means which are in the possession of all Cont. msaders of vessels are duly attended to. Being a native of the island, having bees nearly twenty years engaged in its fishery, and the greatest part of that time having been spent iu close attestion to its duties, will, I trust, entitle toy ob. @emotions to some consideration, particularly when I state that they are the result of information derived from the old est sad most experienced boat-masters who have been em ployed Is Gibing from the centre of the eastern to the west. ern coast of the based. and more particularly at Cape St. Mary's. Those men, though ■steersed, I ►ave found en titled to ronsiderstios ; sod their practice bas proved their couclosions to have bees correct. " It is well understood by those heal-masters that there Is in general a strong current setting in from the eastward, along the wester■ mast, which, after passing Cape Pine, tends more towards St. Mary's and Placesti• Bays. This eurrest, is my opinion, is sensibly felt, at least twenty karma & W. of Cape Piot., and becomes more rapid as yon ■ppesseh the laud, its velocity in ing as the wind fa vours It, but st all times of sufficient mageitede to endanger the safety of any ship app►usehisg from the south •ad west in foggy weather, sad being ignorant of its existence. In order to avoid the dagger arising from this current, the Asher. men, is foggy weather, and when returning from the western coast to their homes ou the eastern coast, invariably use the lead, depending more on their depth of water than their compass, and pproachieg nearer the hind than 35 fathoms of water. The ground being more of an inclined plane os the west coast than on the east, you will had that depth of water a considerable distance from the land; in fact, ssfficient to insure the safely of any ship passing the coast. On pawing to the eastward of Cape Race. the paused bemuses more brekes, mid time depth of water increases so very feet, that in your course from Cape fat. Mary's to avoid Cape Rare. you will, *Len to the east ward of it, led yourself is SO fathoms, and when advanced a very short distance further, is 60 and 70 fathoms of water; consequently, you are then clear of any lead, and at liberty to pursue your course to the eastward, or run along the eastern coast, an eirremstauces nosy require. Ido not per ceive that any advantage would arise by Government esta blishing a post at St. Shott's Mire fog guns, as we have at times knows vessels lost in the Neighbourhood of At. lotto's, where That practice is invariably followed. A due attention to the lead and line should be enforced; for if men will not take rare of themselves, it is bard to expect others to do so for them." DERBYSHIRE BOW MEETING. The second general meeting of this increasing. band of fashionable Towel°Mrs was held at Kedleston on Thursday last. One of the very few inconveniences to which each a so ciety is liable arises from the uncertaidty of oar climate, anti no weather could he tem favourable to the purpose of their meeting limo the wionaing wed evening of the day just men tioned. The rain fell is heavy mad almost uniutermitted Owners till twelve o'clock, wheel the clouds became les. dense. About one it ceased, and the sun shone forth so as to invite the archers to the scene prepared fur their etc. pot amusement. This was the large field below the bowling green, and there are few situations in this aeighbourhood which reseal a richer sweep of scenery. The ground slopes gradually to the Park, of which the near and distant woods are fine objects in the prospect, sad through the trees sic caught varied views of the besutilul expanse of water and the noble mansion of Lord Scarsdale. On this delightful spot three sets of targets were pitched in parallel hoer, the interior for the ladies at 60 yards distence, the two outer seta fur the gentlemen at 100 rude. Four marquees were stretched for the accommodation ef the party, and numerous spectators lined the spaces assigned for their safe standing. • The weather continuing tolerably fair, though cold, the bow elk° and ladies began to shoot fur the prizes, and exhibited a moat besstifalsiglat. ltrerviog from one target to another, at the same time bet in opposite directions, the Derbyshire militia baud also playiug favonrlte lively airs, the scene was in a very high degree animatiog sad isteresting.—.Fur their spurt the day was unfavourahle; we saw oo Locks ley notching a centre arrow, nor cleaving a willow wand at five score yard., but perhar, like Hubert, they did not " allow for the wind," which was gusty sad troublesome. The archery, however. azintiowed with spirit, till four o'clock, wbeu the clouds hiving whet more formed an eutire curtain round the sky, Oe felling rain compelled the company to seek the shelter of the marquees. Noltopes of fair weather presenting them helves in any quarter of the horizon. they retired to the neigh "roaring ins, and there waited tall the appointed hoar fur dinner. No room in the house being large enough for the acrom. modation of so numerous a rimy. a spacious temporary room or booth had been erected for the occasion on the battl ing -green, all the expense of she Society. 14 was rou•trucled of wood, was 80 feet loot, 28 feet wide, and 17 in height s measuring to the centre of the met The floor was Warned, the sides were covered with white calico, and were taste. fully decorated with festoons of l a urel a n d Ro w e rs . The cornice wan also formed by branches of laurel. and bad a very pleasing effect. Fore appropriate chandeliers suspended front the roof cast ■ soft light over the whole. Two large tables were covered with a profusion of •iamis; soup• and Rah, iremitols, gssne, and poultry. a plentiful supply of fine &vowed fruit, choice coufectionery and exaellessl wines, in. riled the pasty to forget the rails mid the cold.

A fete of this kind was idea at Kedleston, the beautiful seat of Lord Scandal,. on Friday last. A numerous party of the neighbouring nobility sad gentry was invited, and the company beginning to arrive at nue o'clock, were received by his Lordship and Lady Scarsdale its the saloon. At two the doors of this apartment were thrown open, and the guests were introduced into the truly magailliceat ball, where a cold collation consisting of every delicacy was laid out foe the re freshment of upwards of sixty persons. We do not know a more appropriate apartment than this fur each an entertsie meat ; its al:icious dilettantes', its flee proportions, and its classical decorations, gave every effect ,hick could be ima gined to the preparations which bad been made on t►e occasion. After the repast, the health of Lord mud Lady Scarsdale was proposed by the Earl of Harriette., bet before the corn. patty drank off their bumpers, the Rev. Mr. Dean arose and thus addressed them My Lord, Ladies, and Cattlemen; allot me, before drinking this toast, to call ynurattention for a brief space to the ealetatios which the Noble Owner of this noble mansion has just pet into my hands.

Mr. Dean then reed tbs flintier% lively poetical Ad• dress (which was °Otiosity intended to have been read et the meeting held e 1 Kedleston Inn un the day preceding, but his Lordship was prevented from attending by the unfavour able state of the weather) : To the Member:oln DerbyshireArehery, Greeting.

It is needless to stale, that the toast thus happily prefaced was received with great applause; immediately after which the whole company arose and adjourned to the laws on the tooth front of the house, where three sets of targets were pitched. _ - r - - The amusement of shooting wait kept op till half-pest five, when the party partook of tea, &c. sod retired soon after, highly gratified with the mutes,' of the noble family, sad the •hole character of the eittertainmeat.

We were informed that in consequence of the unexpected death of one of his Lordship's nearest relations, the circle to receive his Majesty was ott a very limite.l scale, 'consisting merely of the members of the 1 . 4. mily and his Majesty's suite. When the King alighted from his carriag e, he was received at the door by the Marquis, w ho, after making his obei sance, kissed his Majesty's hand. At that moment the load tones of an organ struck up " God save she kirtg." and continued to play a considerable time. His Majesty remained about tin hour within the Abbey, and seemed highly delighted with his reception. The Marquis had been preparing • new public approach for his Majesty, commencinr' about a mile to the westward, and leading through an avenue of stately trees, and as the King passed through the half-finished pillars of the gateway, the royal standard was hoisted on the to top, sad it was christened, we understand, " The King's Gate," by the head mason; the workmen and the bled multitude giving three times three hearty cheers in honour of his Majesty. The Magistrates of Leith have presented to his Majesty a map of the town and harbour. The place where his Majesty landed was marked by an imperial crown. The map, which was laid upoii satin, was oeclosed in • box covered with crimson velvet, beautifully ornamented with silver thistles. The following is the inscription upon the box : Presented by The Magistrates of Leith Tu his Majesty GEORGE the FOURTH, to cootatessoratioo of His Majesty's landing at The Putt of Leith, 15th A.Rust , 1822.

If the British public is entitled al any lime to a just and honourable rompliment,it is when an undertaking of national value is proposed for their snpport. Their benevolence on these occasions is copious, active, and sincere, and the lasti- Wien into which we are proceeding to resume our inquiries, affords a spltntlitl proof of the zeal and generosity which, as Englishmen, we feel proud to notice. The greatest attention bas been attracted by this establishment, and ►aving detailed the purposes for which it hes twill formed, we shall lay be. fore our readers a brief *ketch of t►e regulations that govern it. These regulations, which are now before us, appear to bt drawn up in a spirit of great liberality and disce►nment, and tend in a most eminent meaner to promote the perfection of the musics! art, the interests of the professors, and the wel fare of the students. They are assimilated in a eoesiderable degree to those adopted la the Conservatories of France and Italy; but from the ability with which they are chews up, many points which prevail in these celebrated schools, and which have proved by experieece to be faulty and defective, are %saddled or avoided. The most rigorous critic will searc► in vain for opportunities to exercise his asperity upon these rules; they are marked by firm, acute, and liberal thinking; anti we can assert, srithrint the least fear of contradiction, that the Royal Academy of Music, founded as it is upon these auspicious and correct principles, is worthy of the ex alted patronage it possesses, and not only justifies the con fidence of the public in grimiest, but demands the most strenuous efforts of the professors for its success. The government of the Institution is vested in a Com mittee of Directors, amongst whom we notice the Dukes of D hire nod Wellingtou, the Archbishop of York, the Marquis of Ailesbury, and other individuals, conspicuous fo► tbeir high rank anil earnest devotion to those ekgagt arts by which the character of the country is improved ■nd pro moted. The immediate aduvioistestion and entire superin tendence of the FAnblishment is confided to ■ Sob-Com mittee, composed of nine distinguished Amateurs, sekcied from the three first classes of subscribers, of whom Lord Burghersh is Chairman. One of the moat important advan tages to be derived from this arrangement, la the security it affords against a certain degree ur partiality which has some times been remaiked, when Professional Directors alone were employed ; nod to this most solutary and indiction eon• initiation of the Sub-Commitee►, may be ascribed the pros perity of the whole Esisblishrnent, and the realisation of those objects it has breve projected to secure- Dr. Crutch, a gentleman of known talents and character, iv nominated Priticipal of the Academy, assisted by a Build of four Professors, whose duty it is to superintend the musical education of the stsdeut; and to appeal, in off other re spects. to the judgment of the Sub-Committee for general proceeding•. Every Professor engaged to teach is the Aca demy is authorised to pursue his own method of, instruct ion, so that genii., of every description is this, enabled to pro duce itself. In the foreign Conservatories • most palpable and pernicious errors vests in the distinct branches of militia— the several Professors of a particular instrument are required to concur in framing sonic system by which each branch may be accptired ; this system is adoptid in every ease throvighout the institutions, and hence it happens that the pupils imbibe a severe and monotonous style, destitute, too often, of that grace, setetimeni, sod vigour, which nothiug ►ut the menial emulation of the muster sad the pupil ran impart. This emulation, however, is suppressed by the practice to which we allude; and when the benefits are weighed that to s course of study from emulation alone. the advantage. secured by a elusive of the custom will be instantly felt.

The weather has on the whole bees favourable, with the exceptio• of a few days, particularly Thersday last, when, after some distant thunder in the south.east quarter, it rained very heavily for near 12 hours, rustically pouring in torrents, bat without a very spa ble change, the harvest must be early.—(Aberdeme PaPer.l The hopes of the farmer have revived somewhat, from the circumstance of a small ad in the price of cattle, at some of the late fairs, particularly at Marrone Fair of Elton, held on Wednesday last, where there was some demand for cattle, at an advance of from 12 to 15 per cent. There was a fise spew of cattle at the Muir of Old mar. 1 ket held last week. The demand was rather Irish, and a considerable number were sold. Prime slots brought six guineas, but the average price did not emceed two guineas and a half. There was little done al the Inversive market held last week, owiag to the harvest being much earlier ►hen in ordi nary seasons. Butter sells at 15s. to 18s., and cheese at 44. to ss. pe► stun,. Owing to the farmers being anxious to have their harvest concluded as moos as pomade, She Rather!lea Fair, held nes Friday, was hut thinly attended, and i.ei she, of cattle was very limited. The few fat cattle brought forward sold at the prima given in the report of the Monday's markets. Mitch cows, newly calved or just al the calving, between six and eight years old, were in regatta.

On the 16th last John Townsend, the cele brstrd Sussex pedestrian, walked SO miles, one half backward and the other half forward, in thir teen successive honrs,on a half-mile piece of ground, between Monk weartnonth and Fulwell, which ex traordinary feat he completed 48 minutes within the time. The system of moving one half backward and, the other half forward, is in the fashion of the age; and the retrograde motion, which our ancestors were deplorably ignorant of, silly souls! seem* to have the preference. Our Government have long evinced a loutishly for similar sports of the fancy. Even Judge Blackstone was of opinion that, if our national energies were pusliedfuncard by the Bill of flights, the Act of Settlement, and the doctrine of resistance, we were soon driven as far backward by the Crown influence, augmented by the Riot Act, the increase of the national debt, and the (Its. bursement of additional millions for its mansge ment, and the liquidation of its interest.
