On recognizing a Major Mortars, of the 55th Regiment, who had served under hint in India, he shook him cordially by the baud, and discoursed with hint at intervals in the most unreserved war —A Veteran in the Citadel, who fought -at the Battle of Minden, was presented to our Hero, and received by him in a manner no less gratifying to such an old aoldier, than interesting to the spectators, who witnessed the occurrence. This Patriarch has nearly twice numbered his jubilee of years, and is in full pos session of all his lacUlties. In addition to his de light at having an opportunity of seeing the most consummate Captain of the age, his heart was gladdened by some substantial proofs of the Duke's benevolence. A Lieutenant of the 55th, the son, it is stated, of Commissioner JACKSON of Edin burgh, uuderstandrug that our Warrior bad ex pressed his great admiration of that masterpiece tit human labour, the Breakwater, sent a beau tiful model of this stupendous structure, made , from the very materials of which the original is now composing, for the honour of his acceptance. In offering such a present to so distinguished per. soilage, he intimated in writing, that he believed it to be the only one then in Plymouth; and this, he trusted, would be received as art apology for the liberty he had taken. His Grace immediately requested this Gentleman's atte,dance, and ex pressed to him in person his acknowledgments cif such attent-ion ; thus conferring on a young Officer, by his own flattering condescension, a tar greater favour than he was in the act of receiv ing I—The Master-General of the Ordnance, it seems, in his visit to this and other places, has been merely in'Aki:ig a tour of inspection, without the least reference to any circumstaues of a poli tical 'wore. By a curious coincidence, the Misses Baleomh, of Buonapartean memory, were at the Assembly, on Wednesday nig6t, which the I\iobie Duke had graced with his presence. The Father of these young Ladies •is now residing in this neighbourhood. 'I•HE MA RK ETS.

MAJoa Baown.—Sotne friends of Major Brown request us to state, that " Of all the itidtvidwils they know, their late friend was one of the last to permit any ' pecunialy loss,' however great, to sink his manly mind into a degrading despon dency; amid their knowledge that such was not the f ac t, was.utinecessary for their con%icnon--; it is only for the defence of a character (admired for its firmness) publicly attacked, that it is thus publicly stated, chat Major Brown had not met with any such misfortune."

Messrs, LIVINGSTON and SADLER made an ascent on Wednesday at Liverpool. The balloon was one of the largest and most splendid ever exhibited. The original intention of the aeronauts was to have'attempted the passage over to Ireland, but the wind nut favourable, they descended about four ?'clock in the afternoon, in the neigh. bourhood of Blackburn, having travelled About 35 tnilcs in little more than an hour and a half. A ;Mr. S. D. DEAN made an atenyt uu Satur- day to ascend with a ratified air balloon from the Belvidere gardens, Nentonville. In the centre of the gat dens was erecter! a sort of mast, between 20 and 30 feet high, which was supported by tour ropes, made fast to trees in the garden. To this mast was rigged a sort of yard, slung by a tackle, and having a traveller to guide it in its proper po sition up and down the mast. i bout balf-past twelve o'clock the balloon, with its netting,, ware brought into the garden. It was formed of glazed calico, of various colours, pink, blue, and yellow anti was lined with white paper. Atter some delay the balloon w t is hoisted to its full length ; but it was then found that it was impossible, from the strength of the wind, to inflate a globe of that magnitude (36 feet in di;smeter), by heated air, At last the unfortunate gentleman was obliged to give up the attempt. MEETING AT ROCHRSTER.—Oh Friday a Meet ing was held in the Town-Hall of this City, to take into consideration the late affair at Manchester, a requisition for that purpose having been presented to the Mayor, and acceded to by him. A series of Resolutions were passed, as well as an Address to the Prince Regent.. The Reso lutions having passed unanimously. thanks were voted to the s Mayor. The Alayor (John Burton Matthews, Esq ), in returning thanks for the honour done him, observed, that he felt it his duty to state, thlt tl,e whole ptoceedings of this day were totally opposite to his sentiments , that he thought that, as the business was even now under a legal inquity, the resolutions were extremely premature and indelicate ; but that he convened the meeting only fro m a convic tion that it was a duty incumbent on him todoso. At about 2 o'clock the meeting quietly dispersed. Negociations have been carried on between our Government and that of Spain, for the pur pose of supplying the foriner with 9,000,000 tloll4rs from the Spanish South American Colo nies. These negociations have, it is slid, !ermi stated, and the specie sought for by this Govern. mem will he allowed to be transmitted to Eng land trtim Vera Cruz in British shipi of war, as heretofore; but no part of the sum earlier than the ensuing year. The payments are to be made in bills on the English Treasury, drawn by Com missioners appointed for the purpose of carrying the agreement into effect. The Right Hon. N.
