The Kains has brought to England twenty invalids of the squadron on the South American station. Two invalids of the Ganges died on the passage. The Galatea, 46, Captain Charles Napier, C. 8., sailed yesterday for Barbadoes and Jamaica, with Commissioner Ayscough, on board, for the latter island. The Galatea will take on board at Jamaica, and convey to Bermuda, Commissioner Inglis; and on her return to England is to call at Cadiz, and to cruise otf Madeira, in search poticularly of a pirate. His Majesty's yacht Herald, Commander Max well, went out of harbour on Thursday, and sailed yesterday to Sheerness, to receive on board Lady Heytesbury and suite.

The other sloops, although good of their class, cannot compete with the three first. With the exception of the Pylades and Pike, the whole were able to carry through a very strong whole topsail breeze, without complain ing much. Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Charles Paget, who is so eminently qualified to decide on the respective properties of the ships, had his flag on board the Pearl. The squadron sails again upon further trial immediately. The- Sparrow cutter arrived on Tuesday, and sailed again on the following day on a cruise. At Spithead—Seringapatar ,n Pallas, and Briton. In the Harbour—Victory, Melville, Atholl, Fa vourite, and Onyx. The Philomel, 10 guns, is commissioned at Chat ,: ham, by Commander Charles Graham, for the - Mediterranean station. Mr. Richard Green is ap f3B pointed Purser to her. Captain •Edward Rotheram, C.B. has been ap pointed an additional Captain to Greenwich Hos pital ; Lieut. P. P.

Grandy, in the Fancy Revenue cutter, captured Le Sr. _Jean, of Dieppe, pulling JO oars, and 40 feet long, •having 150 tubs of spirits on board. The Frenchmen in her were armed with large bludgeons. On Monday night last the crew of the same cutter, after a severe con flict with a party of smugglers, captured one man and thirty tubs of spirits. On Tuesday, the 2d in stant, the Inspecting Commander of the Coast Guard, - at Gravesend, captured the Providence, of 27 tons, with Three men and 145 bales of Frencl: silk on board. The vessel and goods will be con. demned ; but, as she had no spirits or tobacco of board, the crew will be liberated. The free trader Lady Raffles, for Bombay, Lying embarked her passengers, sailed to-day. The ship Victory, Farquharson, for Madras and Calcutta, will be at Spithead, to embark her passengers, in a few days. Major Barnwall embarked this morning, for Born bay, on board the Lady Rafßes, Captain Tucker.— The Major is the bearer of despatches from the Board of Controul and the Directors of the East India Company, containing the decision of the King in Council, on the subject of the important case lately argued before the Privy Council, on the se rious differences between the Judges and the Go vernor of Bombay, Sir John Malcolm, on the right of certain natives being entitled to the benefit of the Habcas Corpus Act. It is understood that the Privy Council have adopted that view of the law which was insisted on in the celebrated letter of the Governor's Council to the Judges, Sir Edward Chambers and Sir John P. Grant. John Ham mond, Esq., embarked in this ship. He is appointed to succeed Mr. Dewar, as Advocate- General, who has been raised to the dignity of Chief Justice. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 13.—Admiral Earl of Northesk is expected at Mount Wise on Monday, to re-assume the naval command at this port ; which, during his absence, has devolved upon Commodore Devonshire, of the Kent. His Lordship is at present at Exeter, on a visit to Rear -Admiral W. Shield, late Commis sioner of this Dock-yard. Private accounts from Valparaiso mention that the Forte, 44, Captain J. Coghian, was lying there all well, and was waiting the arrival of the Thetis, to be relieved, when the Forte would leave for England, via Rio de Janeiro. The Netley cutter, late tender to the flag-ship at Cove, has been fitted as tender to the Britannia. The Trinetdo,lB, Commander Price, is ordered from the Irish station to this port, for re-commissioning. The Emulous packet-brig, Lieut.

THE DISS MURDER.— The Coroner and Jury met again on Wednesday last, the sixth day, at the Cher►y-tree, at ten o'clock : at two o'clock the examina tions were concluded, and the Coroner recapitulated the evidence which had been taken with the greatest caution, making many judicious remarks in the course of the summing up, and leaving it to the judgment of the Jury to come to a decision. The Jury for a short time retired, ' and the KEttnicys were ordered to be set at liberty.` Verdict--" Wilful murder by some person or persons un known."—Norwich. Mercury. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.-011 Wednesday night last, just after the Bristol mail had changed horses at Speenhainland (Newbury), and the driver• and guard' were about to mount the coach, the animals suddenly started off at full speed on the Reading road. There was only one inside passenger in the coach, a gentleman, we have heard, connected with one of the Bristol banks, and he being dreadfully airtned, threw himself front the door into the road. Unhappily he fell on his head, and received so much injury, that he died soon afterwards. The horses. stopped themselves a short distance from the town, imiced: t before they had cleared the outskirts. „ 1 MARGATE ; JUNE 14. Sailed yesterday at half-past nine A. xt., for Ostend, his Majesty's steam packet, Fury, Capt. Sherlock, with the mail, about twenty p!ssengers, and one carriage. Arrived last evening- in seven hours from Ostend, his Majesty's steam picket . Splifire,--Csptaia Watson, with the Flanders m3;l ;,)d sweral pas,engers. The above •packws the greatest rektilar.l ) to and from Ostend twice a week, timing the last winter, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, wh en other steam vessels were obliged to discon tinue their voyages, thus establishing their reputation as excellent sea boats, and proving the' superiority of Mar gate over every port in the kingdom for communication with the Netherlands. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-.4 should have noticed the paragraph in your Paper of the 10th instant before, but that I was desirous of fully satisfying, myself of the inaccuracy of the state ment therein made, and which, purporting to be from New port, Isle of Wight, says :.-" So great is the demand for houses in Ryde this season, that a small cottage, the build ing and furni,hing of NI hid' did not cost more than 300/., is let for six months for 1461." The whole of the above assertion is untrue. The demand for houses is not greater than at former seasons, nor so great as usual in the be ginning of June; and it is very unlikely that where houses and cottages are to let in abundance, that a cottage of the description spoken of, and which must of necessity (from the small outlay made on it) be of a very inferior class, would be taken at the enormous and extravagant rate your Newport paragraph states it to be. _ . I trust, Sir, your candour will induce you to contradict a statement which is false, and by which the interests of the town of Ryde are likely to be seriously injured. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN INHABITANT OF RYDE. Ryde, Isle of Wight, June 12. THE KING.--His MAJESTY, after leaving St. James's for Windsor, on Saturday, called at Bucking ham Palace, we believe for the first time these five years. He remained a very short period, and afterwards proceeded on his journey. The dinner given by. the KING on, Wed nesday, to the more distinguished members of the Jockey Club, was to have taken place in the grand dining room I at Windsor Castle ; this new dining room is in every re spect allowed to be the best appoint e d and most convenient in England, and by day-light the views from every quarter are magnificent and extensive ; hut somehow the KING does not like it. His MAJESTY will reside at Cumberland Lodge during Ascot Heath Races (se it was arranged foot days back), in consequence of the repairs at the Royal Cottage not being quite finished, and also from an apprehension of damp from the repairs. The cuisine at Cumberland Lodge not being sufficiently capacious for the culinary comfort of that branch of the Royal Eitablishment, many of the frieasees, fr icandeaux, ragouts, soups, and other dishes, that can be prepared and sent down without in convenience, are manufactured at the kitchen at St. James's Palace. His MAJESTY, however, and his do mestic suite, will, at any rate, remove from the Lodge to the Cotta g e soon after the race week. The KING has already issued his commands to the Nobility and Gentry who are occasionally to be his guests for the next ten days. At the Grand Ball given by his MAJESTY, at his Palace in St. James's, on Thursday night, the fol lowing were presented to the KING previous to the danc ing :—The Prince of LEON and the Count MonNAtr, by the French Ambassador; and the Princes TUJ AKIN anti KosLorrry, by the Russian Ambassador. His MAJESTY, attended by the Lord Ste ward, left town about half-past one o'clock on Saturday afternoon, in his carriage and four, for the Royal Lodge, Windsor Park. The Earl of LAUDERDALE visited the KING en Friday. The Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA attended Divine Service in the Private Chapel in the King's Palace, Kensington, yesterday morning. The Duke of CUMBERLAND left town yester day morning for his residence at Kew. His Royal High ness alighted at the Church on Kew Green, and attended divine service. The Spanish Minister, the Marquis of SALIS BURY, and the Marquis of LONDONDE SILT, had interviews with the Duke of WELLINGTON en Saturday at the Treasury. The Marquis de BARBACENA came to town on Saturday from the residence of the young Queen of Pox:fix.% 1., at Lalehatn. The Marquis had conferences, with the Brazilian Minister, and a;so with the Elul of ABERDEEN. Monsieur ROTH, of the French Embassy, transacted business on Saturday at the Office of the Se cretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Duke and Duchess of WELLINGTON gave a grand dinner on Saturday, at their residence iu Downing -street, to the Marquis and Marchiones s of Lox. DONDERRY, Earl and Countess of LONSDALE, the Earl of CHESTERFIELD, Viscount LONMEIER, the Right Hon. Sir J. and Lady BEcxErr, Right Hon. C. and Mrs. ARBUTH • NOT, Mr. and Mrs. LANE Fox, &c. Mr. HERRIES gave a grand dinner to a nu merous party of Members of the House of Commong, on Saturday, at his residence, in Great George -street. Among the company ►were, the CHANCELLOR of the ExcurQu En , Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD, Sir ALEXANDER GRANT, Sir H. HARDINGE, Mr. PLANTA, Mr. DAWSON, and M-. HOLMES. The Earl of ROSSLYN was introduced, for the first time since his appointment, to the Cabinet Minis term, at the dinner given by Earl dimwits; on Wednesday. The Earl of ELDON entertained the Duke of CUMBERLAND and a numerous pally of Members of the House of Peers to dinner, at his residence, in Hamilton_ place, on Saturday. Prince LEOPOLD honoured the performance at the Italian Opera House, on Saturday evening, with his presence. An ordination of between foity and fifty gen tlemen to the Uinistry, by the Bishop of LoNDoN, took place yesterday morning in the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The ceremony commenced at the early hour of seven o'clock in the morning, in order that its performances might not interfere with the usual morning service. The Church service was read by the Rev.

His Lordship took his text from the 4th chapter of the Ist of Timothy, and the 12th and three following verse}. His Lordship then ordained twenty-two of the Gentlemen Deacons, and twenty-three Priests, and after wards administered the Sacrament to the whole of them. The ordination concluded at a quarter-past ten o'clock. Lady CA TH E R I NE BER ESFO ft D gave a brilliant ball on Friday evening, at the Archbishop of ARMAGH'S, in Charles-street, St. James's-square.

The darning commenced at eleven and ended at five o'clock.

An express was sent off yesterday morning to Lord .1111:rox, who is at present in town, anti his Lordship's arrival is expected at Wentworth House this evening.— Sheffield Courant, June 12. - The Bishopric of Oxford has been offered to the learned Professor GAYSFORD, and, strange as it may seem in these clerical times, it was refused. The hitch about the acceptance 61'4 on the part of Dean Ins:LAND is occasioned by his wish to retain dm valuable Deanery of Westminster, anti other fat livings, in addition to the Vishopric. These preliminaries have not yet been granted. Morning Chronicle. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—On Satur day evening, the Beggar's Opera was performed for the benefit of Mr. WATSON, with the characters reversed. Notwithstanding the grotesque appearance of Mr. J. REEVE, as Polly, whose affectation of modesty on his first entrance was richly comic, the piece went off flatly, the humour of the thing being expended when once the audience had became familiarized with the reversal of the different characters. The house was crowded at half-price. • On Friday last, as Mr. It. A.

The treasures of the deep are not so precious As are the conceal'd comforts of a man Lock'd up in woman's love. What a delicious breath marriage sends forth ! The violet•bed's not sweeter. Honest wedlock Is like a banqueting house built in a garden, On which the spring's chaste flowers take delight To cast their modest odours; when base lust, With all her powders, paintings, and best pride, Is but a fair house built by a ditch side. A paragraph appeared in some of the papers yesterday, announcing the death of Mrs. HENRY SIDDONS, f the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, at Edinburgh, some few days ago. We have authority to state that there is no f o undation whatever for this report. Her friends here having been relieved from the painful anxiety it occasioned them, by the receipt of letters from her this morning, on her road to town. DYSART.—At a patriarchal meeting of bro thers, in the house of JOHN DEWAR, gardener, at Dysart, fi ve of his brothers sat down to dinner who have not met for 38 years, and whose united ages amounted 40 338 years, the oldest brother being 61, and the youngest 44. After dinner the mountain dew circulated freely; the al friends shmk off the feelings of age, and renewed the days of their childhood, by talking of the days of auld king syne. It is worthy of remark that two of the brothers have tra versed the four quarters of the globe, and fought the battles of their country. One of them was on board of his Ma jesty's ship Lich/Mile, when she was wrecked on the Cockle Banks with 600 men, while 475 hands perished ; and the third brother had just arrived at his native home after an absence of SO years—which latter circumstance was the cause of this meeting.—Fife Herald. GEORGE SKELTON, who was indicted for forging a bill of exchange for 2001. with intent to defraud Sir 11. C.

The history of this renowned Grecian warrior has been long made familiar to the public gene rally, through the medium of Goldsmith, who, by his simple style and captivating manner, has imparted an interest to it, which not even the circumstance of its being a great portion of it fictitious, and abounding in defects, has been able to remove. The piesent biography, from the pen of that well-known scholar and estimable gentleman, the Reverend Mr. Williams, of • Lampetre, is an attempt to supply, and, we be lieve for the first time, that desideratum in Eng. lish classical literature, a correct history of Alexander the Great. The task, one of no slight difficulty, has been executed with con summate skill ; and for variety of detail, no velty, not to say originality of matter, force of argument, depth of research, and elegance of style, is among the most fascinating specimens of biography we have ever had the good fortune to peruse.
