The Installation of the Knights of the Garter is to take place at Windsor, on Sr. George's Day. Great preparations are making for the occasion, particularly in the Cathedral. The banriers over the stalls have all been removed to give place to new ones, and a new porch, or grand entrance, is now ereeting on the side next the Poor Knights' House. The model is taken from the principal porch lead. ing into the Castle. To give some idea of the expeded grandeur of the approaching procession, we need only Lid, that Soo guineas have been of. feted and refused by the Organist of St. George's Chapel for the . use of the loft or place where the Organ is situate, which will command a view of the ceremony. The PRINCESS ELIZABETH is employed in em. broidering a very ricii silk sash, intended as a present tu'His MAJESTY, to be worn on the above occasion.

The SeleCtion wa g c hi e fl y from HANDEL, and the whole was supported ad. mirably by the Vocal and Instrumental departments. BRAH4M was much admired for his manner of i ng ing The Death of elbereramby, which is a pathetic and solemn composition, and therefore not unsuit. ably introduced even in an entertainment chiefly de. voted to Sacred Music, Mt:sm.—The Sixth Performance of the V. cal Concert, under the direCtion of HARR ISON and BARTLEMAN I took place last night in the flonover. square Room, and. had a crowded and brilliant audi. tory. The Music was well sele&ed, and executed in the best style. HARR t-asr and BARTLEMAN were in excellent voice, They were encored in a charming Duet composed by SALE., HARRISON gave a new sung called ' 6 the Soldier's Dream," composed by ATWOOD, with exquisite taste and simplicity. A violin Concerto was perfotmed in a good old style by Mr. Le v Nut, the leader of His Majesty's Hanoverian Band, and was much ap. plauded. SHOCKING ACC I DENT.—Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, Lady RICHARD PENNYMAN stopped her chariot at the White Hotse Cellar, Picca. dilly, and ordered her coachman to hand a parcel out of the boor, which was to be sent from the Coach_ office to the country. When the coachman stooped into the boot, another coach drove up behind, which caused the horses of Lady Pi NNYMAN'S' Car. riage to take fright, being very fine blood cat tle. They drove on, full speed, till they came to the end of,Artington.street, down which they ra. pidly turned. The Coachman endeavoured to re. cover the reins, which he could not effect ; and, in the struggle, he fell an the ;sok which runs between the horse, from which he could not extricate him. self. Arlington.street not being a thoroughfare, ,the horses . ran with all the force they could against the railing at the end of it, which being only painted wood, quickly gave way from the shock. The area was about is feet deep, and four feet wide. The pole came against the wall, and was broke to pieces, and the unfortunate Coachman was preci. pitated to the bottom. One of the horses fell after him ; the other being suspended in the railing, the body of the coach being placed on the area, with the fole.wheels down. Several persons who saw the accident ran to the spot, and extricated Lady PEN NYMAN from her perilous situation, we aro happy to say unhurt, but very much frightened. If the area had been wider, the carriage would have fallen in. The Coachman was carried to St. George's Hospital, in a doubtful state of recovery. The Pat NCE of WALES, followed by his groom, arrived on the spot, and saw Lady Pa NNT A.N taken into Surgeon BRANDE's shop, in Arlingtoti.street, where she received immediate medical assistance; and was afterwards taken home in a chair, to her apart. ments in Long's Hotel, Dover.street. The horse that fell into the area was brought out thr.•ugh the house into Park-place, being on a level with the street on that side. Among those who arrived to see the accident were —the Dutchess of Sr. ALB Lords SEFTON, GRANTHAM ► .CRANLRY, Captain CHURCHILL, and the Huh. 13.. 4,.441/ E Aif r r, N E, ;1/ s.

ELSIN'SUR, MARCH 9.—The wind, for some time past, has been from the Southward, which has caused a great quantity of ice to come down, so that the Sound is ne,irly full again, and it freezes sharp. ly. The English Mails which were due arrived on the 7th inst. A new and very stria Ordonence has lately been issued by the Danish Government respelling the perfininance of quarantine ; amongst other aegula. !ions, it forbids, under severe penalties, any person landing at any place on the Danish Coast, in the neighbourhood of Elsineur, from any Vessel ; but every person is required to come to the harbour to land, after being interrogated by Commissioners appointed for that purpose. Every Vessel" from Great Britain is to be provided with a of Health, to be produced at Efsineur, when required, and • nu,. _ _ if !ink Masiii of a Vessel has intericiiiii% with any other kin hit passagt to the Sound (but partienlarly with any coining from a suspe c ted port), or with an American Vessel, it will subi-A hint, to the perfornunce of quaraniine Oa arriving in 'the Sound. We have heed favoured with the following Ex. tract of a Letter from anu Officer of the Achehm, Bomb, which is not only the m , st authenti c; but, the most interesting article that has yet been re., ceived upon the subjett of the late at!tion " Pilion at Malaga, Feb. tAi " You will., no doubt, ere this reaches you, have, received an account through the Foreign Papers of the capture and destruction of His Majekty's Sloop Arrow and Acheron Bomb by two Fiench Frigates, L'Hortense and LPL/corm/44k (the former with. a broad. pendant), of 4+ guns each, having 6co troops of the line on board. I have not tit pre. sent an opportunity of entering into the particulari of the action. lam shut up here in prison ; for the Government has not yet thought proper to giv6 us our parole. You must therefore be satisfied to know, in a general way, that the action was sus, tained for a considerable time against a very sulk. rior force, anti although the issue was udiwoid it)iy unfortunate, we flatter ourselves it will be consi dered as redounding to the credit of the Officers and Men of both Vessels. " The contest commenced at three quarters past four in the morning of the 4.th instant. Cape Pallaa bearing N.W. about twelve leagues, and contino., ed, without intermission (but such intermission roi the enemy chose to make) until eight, when the Arrow was obliged to strike. Captain Pitk . • QUHAR, of the Acheron, then mule what sit he could, nut with the hope of saving the Ship . , which, he foresaw from her disabled state, watt impratticable, but in order, if possible, to save the Convoy. At three quarters past eight, having in ehace received one broadside, and part id anther, the French Cummudoi-e's Frigate being now die to the Acheram, Captain FetItQUILAa found hiin•elf under the p until, bur unavoidable .necessity of striking t o th e Enemy. The lirra7JJ sunk. soon after the aetioii, and the 4,4 , ,,0n was f .trod by ihe Enemy to be so disabled as to b,r unlit vie , ! ; in corm sequence of which they' immediately burnt her. We deem ourselves very fortunate in having only three killed, and . eight Wounded, which, congidering k he length of the afflon, an.l the great superiority of force opposed to uq, were remarkably few. " I was land •d' here on the loth inst. with all the Officers and Crew of the 4L Heron, from on board L' Hortense, which captured us. The. other Frigates had the Arrow's Crew oil board. She parted f rom us the day after the action, and we suppose i r gone to Alicant or Carthagen-r. I hive every hope that both the Enemy's Ships wit( he taken before they , can possibly get into any port of France. Thry are certainly proceeding on smut! ex re di, i on , o f t h e nature of which, however, nothing is yet publicly known. " The Arrow and Acheron oiled from Malt;t on the 4th of January, with convoy of 34 r sail. 4 little to the Eastward of Cape Pallas we net wiih Easterly winds, and very hard gales, which kept ui there for nearly three weeks, when the two French Frigates fell in with us. The day after the, action I had the misfortune to sec the Enemy destroy three of the Convoy, which, heswevcr, I h a v e reason to hope, ate all chat haye fallen into their hands. " I am at present conned in a room with fifteen other Officers besides Servants, and several wound. ed men, Against this treatment we have retnon. strated, and tomorrow we exited our Parole. In a short time, it is probable, we shall be exchanlittl, and sent to Gibraltar." On WedneSday Government Sent orders to Gravesend, Portsmouth, and, the Downs, to detAin all China and Iquitos Ships, which were ready to sail from those places, in order to embark troops op hoard of them. Ships-of the largest size are to cA try two hundred and forty mute roch, and 'the others two hundred, or less, according to their dimensions. The China Ships are diiembark their troops at Madras. The whole number Of troops sent out will be between four and five thon , ;and. The 69th Re.' giment sailed from Spitheal the Bth of March, its the Fleet convoyed by His. Majesty's Ship dostaN, for the Smite destination. Nine Regiments are now under orders for the West Indies.
