On the Ph ;ult. arrived the Die,a Packet from Falmouth, in 28 Jays, and the same day Sir Richard Strachan's squadron arrived ; they have been busily , employed since their arrival in viaualling and watering, and are at this moment under sail, sup posed to run down among the Islands, and then proceed to England. The ',at/ Padeer, and the Caledmia, from New Beinswir k, with masts, &c.for Antigua, are captured by a, French fligatt ; they mere under convoy of the Bata brig of war, of la guns, Capt.

Her masts and rigging were so mods injured, as to prevent her capturing the French ship, *ad Capt.

Yesterday, a Quarterly Court of the Proprletrs was held for the purpose of taking into con,iderit [ion the Resolutions entered into by the Court of Di rectors of a former t day, respeffing a Satat y to be granted to the Recorder of Prince of Wales's Is- land, &c. The Hon. Wm. Et. P IDI STONE in the Chair. . . The Resolutions of the Court of Direnors being read by the proper Officer, purporting, first, to grant a salary of 90001. per annum to the Recorder of Prince of Wales's Island; and further granting a pension of 10001. when he shall have served that office for the space of 10 years. The CIiAIHNIAN, rose, and said, it was necessary for him, lot the better information of the Court of Proprietors, to state, that the Court of Direffors. dissenting from the Court of Proprietors, in the ne gative which they gave to resolutions relative to this subjeft, on a former day, and having since received some official communications from the Government of that Island. had thought it right to re-consider this subjea ; the result of which was, the Resolutions now offered for their concurrence. From the communications alluded to, he trusted the Court would see the absolute necessity of sending out some person imme-liately, in a judicial capacity, and he was convinced, that when these communi cations were read to them, they would acquiesce with the Court of Directors in :hese Resolutions. A public letter from the Government of that Island, to the Direaars, was then read, expressive of the great want of such a person, and the great mi sc hief %%hich must ensue from any delay. -Alter enumerating the various offences which were daily committed with impunity, for want of judicial authority, and stating, thai the gaols were full of felons ; that 21 persons were now in confinement, charged with murder, without the power of punish ing them ; it adverted to a very recent robbery, cornmi:ted in the Navy Pay-Office, to the amount of 3000 Dollars, supposed to be done by a Sepoy. on whom 4 quantity of money was found, which he could not account for. For want of proper au- thority to •,ry him in the Island, by the advice cf the presiding Magistrate, they were under the ne cessity of sending him, at an enormous expence, to the Government of Calcutta, to be there tried. After some further observations, by the CMAIR. MAN, is support of the resolutions, the question was put, and Mr. ken sic said, he did net eatitely oppose the ralaer of 3,0001. per annum, although he still thought, as on former occasions, that '2,0001. was a very handsome and sufficient allowance. He was adverse to every measure which might increase the expences of the Company, in the present depressed state of their funds ; but, above all, he was adverse to grareing a pension, at least before the person's merits were known, or his services performed. He coastdered 3,0001. per annum a very liberal salary ; and, if the gentleman was at all prudent, he might, in the course of ten years, realise a very handsome pro: timely. tor himself and timely. Mr. Joersorom, upon the same principles with which he had ever opposed toy establishment of a government in Prince of Wales's Island, said he rose to oppose the present Resolutions in tato. He con ceived that it was taking an advantage of the Com pany to bring forward such a proposition, on so short a notice ; it would, he thought, have been more candid to defer the matter for a longer pet iod, and give the Cdrhpany an opportunity of considering the propriety of such a measure. He also opposed these Resolutions at the Diredors, because they went to render fixed and permanent an establish ment, in the Prince of Wales's Island, which the Company would ever repent, which he must ever disapprove, and which he thought would be better got rid of altogether. In order to have this ap pointment of a Judge established, they had resorted to the one solitary instance of a Sepoy, whom they might have tried by martial law, being a soldier, and martial law being in force there, though the civil law was not.—Phis one solitary instance, only,. occotring in the space of six months, was now to be made a pretext for getting a Recorder, with a salary of 30001. per annum. they had already granted 10,0001. to the Governor, 40001. to each of the Council,3oool. to the Weber, and 18001. to a Parson; and now they must have a Judge, with' 30101. a year more. If the Island was worth all this ex• pence, he should not mind it—the expence he cons,- dtred as nothing—but the example was a bad dile and, however willing he might be to grant a liberal allowance, when he was cotteinced, and could see either the use or necessity for it, yet, he advised the Company, while their finances were at soloot an ebb, when they were so deeply involved in debt and difficuliies, not to suffer the public money to be squandered away with so estravagant a hand.— When gentlemen recolletled that this Island, for which so large an establishment was to be appoint. ed, and such immense salaries were to be granted, Was not quite so large as the Isle of Wight, they would see the folly of squaoderiog the public iouaey in such a way. It was their duty to curtail, initend of increasing, the expences of the Company at such a period as the. preseist, and as long as any Resolutions were proposed, which had for their ob knit a lavish expendituM of the public money, he would give them his most strenuous and decided opposition. Upon a former day, in debating this subject, a suggestion had been thrown oat by an Hunourahle Baronet and Direaor, (Sir Francis Baring), whose suggestions must ever have weight, and be treat .d wino the utmost respeil, that it would be better to transfer the possession of the Island altoget! er, to Government, than to be sad dled with an expeuice so enormous, and which far exceeded any advantage they could possibly derive from it. It was ,said to be situated between the eastern and western part of the Continent of India ; and a sale harbour and resting Oace for shipping, but, in his opistion, Trincomalee was better situated for that ken pose, without the addition of all this expense. Ha really thought it would be better to give it up iutirely to Government, whose policy it had ever been, to reduce the influence of the Com pany, to increase their own patronage, and leave the East India Company to defray all the expences. Upon all these grounds he gave his most decided opposition to the proposed measures. Captain Struts, on the other hand, supported both Resolutions ; and, in adverting to the salaries of the l's;she Judges, belonging to the other East • Tons Governments, he considered the allosi s anee how proposed - com,saratively small, raking it upon what sc.ile they might. If they expetteJ proper officers, who would do their duty, they must allow them liberal salaries. The person appointed to such a situation, must be a gentleman, a man of edu cation, and of some pre-eminence in life ; it was not every man who would offer, who was calculi:tea to fill such an office ; besides, it was highly necessary he should have a sufficie.a allowance, to preserve that rank and cor.sequenee which belongs to such an ofß,:e. It WAS also very wen known, that the living in Prince of Wales's Island was na )re than double as expensive as any other part of India ; and it could nut he expeifled a gentleusan could possibly lay by any thing oat of such a salary. Ile con cluded by expressing a wish that the original Reso lution, for granting a salary of 4,0301. per annum, ' had been adopted, and gave his hearty concurrence to the Resolutions. The CHAlastas, in answer to what fell from an Ffonnurable Gentleman without the Bar (\lr, Johnston,) observed, that he never heard any Gen tleman zalk so moth, and to so little purpose ; he was always happy to hear him speak, he did it so pleasantly and with so much eloquence ; but he I wished he had contrived to introduce a little more matter into his speech. He talked of law and judi cial proceedings, as if he himself was the only per son present who understood any thing about the matter, yet he (the Chairman) was convinced he knew nothing at all about it, or he would nut have talked about trying a fellow by martial law, for . crime committed against the civil law. He had also talked, be must "eay e in a shameful manner about the Company's finances ; he begged leave to answer, that they were not as he meant to represent them ; they were now in a very prosperous state, and improving every day. With respell tp the Island ititel, it was of the greatest importance; but especially while the French infested those seas. The size of a place did not always constitute its importance. This was a most convenient harbour fur shipping to rest or weather at.— There was wood enough on the island to build a whole navy, and ship building was done at half the expence,it could be eff-fted in England or else where ; and being the centre between the eastern and western seas of India, it mast ever be the constant resort of.shipping of all descriptions ; so that, either taking it in a commercial or naval point of vies , it was of the utmost importance to the Company. From all these rarcamstances, theteure, this island must be the constant scene of litigation, both civil and criminal, and any Judge who may preside there, most be employed from week's end to week's end. With respeel to giving up the island to Government, it was one of t!e most dangerous propositions he had ever heard ; and if such was the case, there must be an end to their influence in India. They had al ready repented the Government having Ceylon in their own hands. He said, he was sure, if the Gen tlemen would but take the trouble of perusing the documents before them, all this would appear very evident; and for these reasons he highly approved of the Resolutions as entered into by the Board of Di r eZtors. The question was then put upon the first Resolu lution, granting a salary art 50001 per annum to the Recorder, and carried in the affirmative. Upon the Resolution for granting a pension of I POOL at the end of ten years service, Mr. Herneelsros opposed it, on the grounds of bad example, and the possibility of their - cirarttr riot being renewed, or their funds sufficient before that period. Sir Huon Lent's, and the CH •MK AN, supported the Resolution ; !.Ir. Keetste, Mr. Notts, and Mr. Paris, opposed it. The qaestion being called for, it was decided by a chew of hands : the Resolution was negatived by a small mejer;fy, and the Court dissolted. Yesterday, at Clerkenteell Sessions there was no kind of business done; the Court merely sat, and then adjourned until Saturday, whets the vagrants will be discharged. The pudic, we are sure, will be highly gratified in learning, that a discovery has at length been tirade, which offers security from danger to malty. and comfort to all : we allude to the cheap Water proof Composition for hoots and Moe', which the indefatigable industry of Mr. Witwon has brought to unprecedented pi.:rfeltion, after a laborious series of experiment.. Oa . Wednesday, a grenadier belonging to the Guards, named THOMAS HA art* ND, was taken suddenly id, with a complaint in his stomach, and died in the course of a tew hours, notwithstanding every remedy was tried which medical skill could apply. A strong suspicion was excited in the minds of the medical gentlemen of the Guards, that the man had been poisoned ; he was in consequence opened, and the anpeArance of the stomach justified their opinion. A Coroner's inquest was held on the body, before J. Si vstoss, Esq. at the Golden Lion, in Brompton, Kent, on Saturday, when the Jury, after mature deliberation, returned a verdiet —Died ty poison arlainsuicred by some person or person: unknown. Yesterday afternnoo, ass gentleman, whnse name we understand to be GOODRSON, a Captain in the Army, in company with another Gentleman, was driving a light chaise at a furious rate down the New Road, Mary-la-bonne, the off rein became loosened Irom the bit, and the horse went off at Lull speed. Mr. G.'s friend jumped out of the g'g, and broke one of his legs, whilst Mr. Goonssos• re mained in his perilous situation, and endeavoured to stop the horse, but by keeping tight the single rein, the vehicle was ran against a bank, and upset. Mr. G. was thrown from his seat a distance of 10 or 12 yards, and besides breaking his hip bone, he Was so materially hurt by bruises, that his life is despaired of. The vehicle was broken to pieces. A very serious accident happened, on Sunday last. to Mr. Motu's°, second son of Mr. Motuiso, of LaurencePonntney.lage. About the middle of the day, as he was returning fmm his father's house at Stock. well, in a single-horse chaise, driven by his Iroom. they met two brick carts near Newingten,on dihrent sides of thermic'. It appeared to the groom that Clot r was room to pass between them; but the wheel of one of the carts came in contalt with the chaise, and produced so violent a shock, that Mr. Mot Limo and the groom were both thrown nut ; the former unfortunately had both his arms Voices, and the latter was dangetously hurt. wk 7l - 1+!-`77141 ~~ ~.: SPORTING rNiIt.I.7GENCis DONCASTER RACES.

Yesterday, Thomas G.ifa, a genteel young ma. of good connedlions, who had been in custody for thi) fortnight past, charged on suspicion of forgbipt and uttering a draft upon the banking.house of Messrs. Thornton, Down, and Co. for 1501 pore porting to be drawn by a Mr. Vine, a broker, its Threadneedle-street, was brcaaght up for further examination. Ti,i• young m.n has undergone several private examinations before the Lord • Mayor, who appointed yesterdsy for the final era- • mination. At two o'clock * great number of per sons attende.'.. by appointment, most of them clerks from the Bank. who had paid the notes received for the forged draft, and the persons whom-hey had been traced to. From the statement of the Prisonei's Sachets, it • appeared, that above 1401. of the notes received fat this forged draft, had been ;aid at the Bank, and PAR more than three had beers traced to the Prisoner; but not being able to give a satisfaitory account how he became possessed of these notes, be was suspeCled to have some concern its uttering the draft. It further appeared in favour of the Prisoner, that this forged draft had heed uttered six week, before the Prisoner was suspetted, ana that he had been in the habit of going back Ward and forward to this Banking-house ftequently in 'that time, in the course of business. The Loin M A yoa. alter hearing the Solicitors / on both sides, did not think there was proof of guilt sufficient to conunit the Prism= for trial, and discharged him,
