BrtEctitx.—On Thursday last week, as Mrs. Qt oact Ross, of this place, along with her child and another young lady, were descending the dangerous hill toad to Olenburnie, on their way to Aboyne, in a gig, the horse being checked, ran suddenly backward and ( iVerturned the gig at the edge of the . road, which at that Place overhangs a precipice of more than a hundred fit. • Had the horse gone three yards farther, the vehicle nlast have been precipitated over this height . .

The young man n ' 1 417 respectable connexion" and is by profetsion a sur "tPar, lie is as welt 31 can be expected MR. AUSTIN, of GREENWICH HOSPITAL. This gentleman w.l. „ppooited to the - office of Deputy Treasurer of (.4re.-nwich Ilospital about 25 years back, by th , .• ti en treasurer Admiral Sir .John Colpoys ; and Fill tli .t period down to a % ery re cent one he has hail the sole coutroul of the im mense funds of the Hospital, the office of treasurer being, with the exception of its heavy responsibility, a complete sinecure. His salary was 500/. a-year, with a handsome. suite of apartments in Greenwich .Hospital, and coals and candles, &c. The duties of his office were extremely simple, and consisted merely in paying by cheques upon the Bank of Eng. land such accounts as might be transmitted to him from time to time by the Hospital Board of Gover nors. These cheques were drawn upon funds placed at the Bank of England to the credit of the Tree:- surer of Greenwich Hospital. No cash ever passed through his hands on account of the Hospital. The funds of the Hospital arise partly from large landed estates, and partly from the sixpences exacted monthly from the wages of each seaman sailing from the port of London. Collectors are appointed to receive these and the various other branches of the Hospital income,and to pay the same into the Bank of England, to the credit of the Hospital treasurer. In this manner a large floating fund was constantly kept up at the Bank of England, where it was at the sole disposal of Mr. Austin, who might at any time ha.ie with drawn the whole, and disappeared, bad he seen fit. Mr. Austin had not long held his appointment be fore a mode of increasing his income was presented to his notice, which, although clandestine, appealed to be attended by no risk. In adopting this mode, it is probable he was much influenced by the impor tunities of those who were to gain by it as well as himself. The contractors and others supplying Greenwich hospital, had always to wait a mouth or six weeks, and sometimes longer, after the deli very of their accounts, before an order could be , obtained for their payment. As the accounts were ' mostly heavy, this delay was severely felt by several, and led to repeated applications to Mr. Austin for au anticipation of the day of payment. Mr. Aus tin, unfortunately for himself, yielded, and 'hence commenced that system of discounting and traffick ing with the Hospital funds to which his present difficulties are said to be attributable. The plan. adopted by Mr. Austin was to take a bill of exchange frem the hospital claimant, payable at about two months, for the full amount of which he gave a cheque upon the Hospital funds at the Bank of Eng land. The discount he required to be paid him sepa rately, and which he always calculatedat the rate of five per cent. per annum. He never deducted it in the cheque. When the account of the individual was passed for payment, it was settled by Mr. Austin paying back to him his own bill of exchange as cash, and giving him a cheque on the Bank for the dif ference ; so that if the Hospital Directors should at any time ,have called upon Mr. Austin to produce his Bank pass•book, it would have exhibited no names but what ought to be there, and the total paid to each would he correct, only that it would appear to have been paid in part instead of in one sum. There is reason to suppose Mr. Austin en tered very cautiously into these transactions at first ; but that after a time, finding they escaped notice, and were attended with profit to himself, and no prospect of injury to the Hospital, he became em boldened, and plunged more deeply in them. In deed, it is said he even went farther, and proceeded to discount for persons wholly unconnected with the Hospital, and over whose punctuality therefore he could not have so good a security. It would be difficult, however, to understand how he could em ploy the Hospital money for this purpose, without exciting suspicion, and Without at once embarrass ing his accounts. Thp integrity of the fund, once destroyed, 'could never be restored. He might withdraw, but he could not replace. Whatever may have been Mr. Austin's general success in dis counting for the Hospital claimants, one instance oc curred in 1919 by which he sustained a loss of 2,000/. It was after that remarkable year, When an extraordinary summer drought, which lasted nearly nine weeks, had nearly trebled the spring price of meat. The contract for the Hospital bad been taken the previous April at a IoW price for a year. The loss was enormous.' The contract was, however, fulfilled, The .lasit month of the year had expired, and the account was sent in. It would not be paid in the regular course for six or eight weeks. The contractor was pressed for money, and applied to Mr. Austin, 'who advanced 2,000/. in the usual way. ,A few weeks subsequent the contractor, 4fter a vain effort to avoid it, found himself com pelled to submit to a bankruptcy. One of the as signees appointed was a Mr. Laud. He had him self formerly contracted with the Hospital, and was perfectly acquainted witk their system of paying. He readily perceived that the 2,000/. could not have been paid by Mr. Austin with the authority of the Hospital Board of Governs's, and he therefore in sisted on treating it as a private loan made by Mr. Austin to the "bankrupt. Accordingly, as soon as the bill in the ordinary course had become ripe for payment, lie presented it to Mr. Austin, and de manded and received payment in full. This was a cruel loss upon Mr. Austin, who was compelled to prove for the 2,0001. as a debt under the commission. It was true he received back dividends to the amount of more than Os. in the pound, and that a dividend of at least half as much more will be paid eventually, when a reversion falls in, for which the assignees have determined to wait rather than dis pose of it; but still the loss was ons which Mr. Austin, having only an income of 500/. per annum, and which he was generally supposed to live full up to, could ill afford to hear. No notice was taken of the transaction by the Board of Governors, and it is to be supposed, therefore, they heard nothing about it, notwithstanding the stir made in it by Mr. Laud. Shortly after, Mr. Austin's patron, Sir John Col poys, died. He was succeeded by Admiral Sir T. Boulden Thompson, who continued Mr. Austin as his deputy. In the spring of the present year, Admiral Thompson also died, and was succeeded by Sir Alexander Hope, who gave notice of his intention to appoint a friend of his own as his de puty. Mr. Austin was, of course, compelled to resign the kooks and papers of his office, and an examination of the same was forthwith entered into, for the purpose of balancing and closing them, previous to the new deputy entering upon the duties of his office. It was in the course of this examination that the defalca. Lions were discovered on which the present charges against Mr. Austin are grounded. The deficiency is said to be about 40,00101., but over what length of period it extends is not publicly known. The Hospital, it is understood, always takes sureties from the treasurer to the amount of 20,0004 ; and should, therefore, ally part of the deficiency have arisen during the time of Sir John Colpoys, that gentle man's trustees, notwithstanding the lapse of time, would be liable. Mr. Austin only found two sure ties in 1,0001. each These were Richard Smith, Esq., the principal clerk of the cheque of Greenwich Hospital, and Thomas Watson, stone-mason. Esq., the Hospital Since this unhappy affair Richard Smith, Esq., has resigned his office. Mr. Smith is in the corn mission of the peace for the county of Kent. No suspicion existed we believ e o f t h e state of sOn accounts nt‘upto the v er y m om ent of the Contrary, it is, reporte d that so hi g h was the opinion entertained of his integrity by the board, that t he y had it in cont e m plation to grant discover'. s r e . ov A ustin him a retiring pension.

Doyen, Sire. 2.—The Regatta has been conducted to day with the greatest possible spirit, with good arrange ment, and apparently to the entire satisfaction of all parties. The weather was propitious, there being very sufficient wind for the sailing vessels, and the sea quite smooth enough for the rowing boats. We never recollect to have seen a greater influx of company to Dover since the de parture of the late King of Fiance ; almost all the leading families in East Rlent att ended ; and from the excitement occasioned at Deal mna Folkstone by the match between the three six-oared ;Lilies, selected from those Towns sad Dover, a great proportion were present. The first match was by four cutters of the Thames Yacht Club, for a Cup value forty pounds, and was won by the Daisy, belonging to . J. G. Irwin, Esq. in very handsome style, beating the Zephyr, Rob Roy, and Success. The second match was by four cutters belonging to Dover, for a Purse of 25 sovereigns, and was won by the /Era, beating the Jason, Good Intent, and Louisa. The third match was by four Dover smacks, for a Purse of 20 sovereigns, and was won by the Nancy, beating the Sybil, Triamph, and Hope. The fourtk match was between two gallies, manned by gentlemen amateurs, for a Purse of 20 sovereign's, given by the Ladies, and, after a severe contest, was won by the Emma, belonging to W. R. Dickenson, Esq. beating the Gazelle. The fifth match was the great object of the day, the trial between Folkstone, Dover, and Deal, in six-oared genies ; very heavy sums were depending, each boat being freely backed by their respective townsmen. This match was severely conttsteil by the Folkstone and Dover boats, the former winning by about a length. The Deal galley was beaten by the other two some distance. The matches closed by a race between four Dover four oared gallies, fur a Purse of 1.5/. and won by the Union. They are just concluded ; the gentlemen are moving to wards the ship Inn, where a dinner is provided, and a ball at night, will, it is said, be very numerously attended. Arrangements are making for the ascent of Mr.' Green in his balloon next week from Dover, with the intention, if wind and weather permit, of crossing to Fiance. SPARRING AT THE ROYAL TENNIS COURT. The veteran Dan Mendoza took his benefit yesterday, and we are happy to say it turned out rather flattering to his feelings. The attendance was pretty good, and the sparring as it should be. Lew Latham led off with Ned Murphy, and produced a decent bout, and they were followed by Ned Crafer and Yandel, who were well clapped. Sally Renbens and the Bristol Baker them took the gaunt letts, and _showed off with good-humour. The game little Baker was any thing but " a dead man," and kneaded away beautifully; but the other being " full weight" turned the scale. Uncle Ben and Toni Oliver then pro ceeded with the argument, and Burn had the best of the last rally, and made his bow. Jack Carter then mounted with Tom Spring, who was loudly applauded. Catter began with his left, and shewed considerable more quick ness with it than in his fight with Ward. Spring, hew ever, who had managed him without the gloves was not to be had with them, and after a few hits which lie foiled easily, he turned all the attempts to his own adv intage. The quickness and precision with which he moved back his nob to avoid Carter's tape, which hardly ever reached him, created no small merriment. Both left off with applause. Barney Aaron challenged*Tom 'Reedie, and would stake at any time—no answer. Kennedy and • Deaf Burke then rattled a peal upon each other's mugs, and were rewarded with a shower of copper. • Jem Ward then had a turn with Tom Gaynor, who still shewed marks of the ill treatment he received at Perkins and Raines' tight. Jeia, of course, bad the best from his superior• weight and strength, but Gaynor got out of it better than might have been expected. Ward then alluded to the Liverpool controversy between him and Simon Byrne, and concluded by challenging Simon for 2001., to fight within 100 miles of London. Barney Aaron had next a most interesting and amiable turn with Young Be lasco. They peppered away till " the Twelve Tribes" were in extacies, and Jew boxing rose at least twenty per cent. Odd Dan Mendoza mounted at the con clusion of these sports, returned thanks in a grateful manner, and particularly mentioned Spring as having , greatly assisted him in making his heart easy and com fortable. He wished them all manner of success, and the audience departed well pleased. THE ARMY. LORD FITZROY SOMERSET'S LIST.

General Miller, who has so much distinguished himself in the South American struggle for independence, and who, from his exertions, holds a commision in the service of three of the republics (Peru, Chili, and Buenos Ayres), has lately published memoirs, replete with information about South America. To this interesting book we may after wards advert. The following statistical account is ex tracted from it : * Arauco (die finest dians) is not included ic On Saturday Mr. Capel, one of . the Representa tives in Parliament for Queenborough, accompanied by two friends, paid a visit to that unfortunate town, for the purpose - of investigating its present real condition.

The party were gratified to find that much good had thus been accomplished, and many valuable men saved; but the privations and misery, with which the poor people have contended with, a degree of forti tude that can scarcely have been exceeded in any times, yet pressed heavily upon them. The in terior of the -houses, however, presented me lancholy specimens of the general condition of the people.
