Sir GEO:. - GREY, (the Commissioner), and the Principal Officers of Ills Majesty's Dock Yard, Portsmouth, have given the Patent e e permission to publish the following , Statement of Facts relative to his PATENT DETECTOR LOCK; namely, That hay. ing„hy order of the Honourable Navy Board, lately supplied a considerable ; number of his Patent Detector Locks for the use of the Portsmouth Dock Yard, and being informed 'that there was a Convict On board one of the prison-ships' at this. ,port, who was 'notori ous fb picking Locks, (being by profes sion: a Lock Maker, and who has, till recently,' for several years been chiefly employed in picking and repairing Locks in' 'Loudon);. the Patentee requested the favour of Commissioner the Honourable Sir George Urey to send fur this man, that he might exercise skill; in attemptin g to p i ck his Le& ; and . the Commissioner having been pleased to acquiesce in this - re quest, the Man was sent tor accordingly, and one of Chubb's Pa tent Locks was submitted to his inspection, at the Storekeeper's Office; in the presence OfieVeral of the Principal Officers ; when, lifter a careful examination, he said, " he thought be could. pick or open it with false instruments." He was thereforcfur : rushed with files, and all the tools he stated to be necessary to' prepare the instruments tbr his purpose; and was directed to give -notice to the Storekeeper when 'he should be 'ready to make the trial, for the promotion of which a Rew ar d o f Five Mninds wait:proised hint if lie succeeded. • 'ln about three, w(icks after this' time, ho sent to say that he was ready ; and, a time being fixed on fur the purpose; he coin minced his operations in endeavonting to pick etre of the Locks, in the presence of the . Principal Officers of' the Dock-vaid; but he could not succeed. 'lle then stated, ‘• that his (allure was' inconsequence of his instruments not exactly fitting the Lock:" To remove this impediment, the Patentee'offered to supply him with some blank keys, which should tit two of the ir order to his making another trial"; these were fur nished- accordingly, 'together with . a Lock exactly the same in principle and in kind as those he had been trying, so that be Plight examine its con s t ruct io n , and tasks himiele master of its principle. Shortly after hinfide another attempt to pick two of tne Locks, the presende of the Honourable Sir' George Grey,, and the 'Principal Officers of the Dock-Yard his success in this attempt was not better than the first ; but he overlitled the Detector of each hock. Sir Georgelltcy then asked him, what he would do in this case, supposing he had been making an attempt on ouch a,,Loek, with ao intent to com mit a robbery P De said, " I would go no more: to the Lock, ever would set a watch and catch me." He still thought, Ilea.- ever, that, by a further alteration of the histruments.he; etiuld yet succeed ; more time was therefore given hint, and eve:•y facility afforded him: Some time afterwards be again repeated his effort., in the presence of the same 'Gentlemen'; but having, in his previou s ex p er i ments , over li fted the Detectors lie cou ld not by any means disengage them ; this was done for him seve ral times, with, the Keys belonging to the Locks; but, as often as they were regulated, on every successive trial he detected 'them again ; till at last he gave them pp,. saying, That lie bad used his utmost ability in his repeated attempts, and could not succeed : that these Locks were the most secure he bad ever met with, and that he did not. think it possible for any man to pick or open them with any false instruments whatever. Pie Patentee of the above Lock, in making die ffilloWing observations, disclaims any intention of depreciating the merits_ of other Locks, by describini; their defects, or demonstrating* their insecurity :. but trusts the Detector Lock will entitle him to a share in the attention and patronage of the Public; as it possesses, in a much hi g h er d egree t h an any ot h er, the four principal requisites of a good Lock; viz. SECURITY, SIM PLICITY, STRENGTH, and DURABILITY. Its SE. CURITY, particularly, is increased beyond calculation, by an improvement, which not only renders it impossible to be picked or opened by any . false instruments, but also detects the 'first attempt to open it ; thereby preventing those repeated efforts, to which even the best Locks.hitherto invented.are exposed. In these Locks, the combinations admit of so great variety, that millions of them may be made, and 'yet one Key shall not pass any two Locks ; and'the Detector renders that variety. infinite ; for the instant that one or more of the tumblers are lifted beyond the place where the bolt is at liberty to pass, it overlifts the De tector,, which then books the tail of the bolt, preventing it from passing, and thus gives incalculable additional security, (as' well as immediate notice, the first time the true key 'spot into it to open it, that an attempt has b een made to pick it,) and renders all farther attempts useless; it being impossible to discover the first combination, to disengage the Detector, or the second, to remove the bolt ; and nothing but the true key can either re. lease the Detector from Its grasp on the bolt, or open the Lock. In reference to its DURABILITY, it is not liable to be in. jared by constant use in any length of time; this has been as. eertained, by an Iron-rim Lotk having been attached to a Steam-Engine in the Dock-y ar d, P ortsmout h ( to try the effect of. friction), by which it was locked and unlocked upwards of four hundred and sixty thousand times, without ,receiving the least injury. The STRENGTH of its parts, and the SIM PLICITY of its construction tire such, that no False Key, or other Instrument, introduced into it for the purpose ofopen. ing it, can (without very great violence) injure it. , The Patent Detector Locks, of every aisle, and for all the uses to which Locks can be applied, may be had of the Paten tee, CHARLES CHUBB, Portsea.

The reports of the . Officers commanding, relative to the opera-.

Indeed, tam ftilly of opi. Mon that the object which the Right lion. the (governor-Gen::, sal in Council bad in view has been accomplished, by reports of the simultaneous attacks upon Rangoon, Negralm, and (r make no doubt) Chetluba, reaching the Court of Ava at that ~ same time; . and it will appear by Lieutenant .Stedinan'a re port, that the enemy again experienced the valour of the Bri tish anus. . . • here little change ha s t a k en p l ace i n our situation.. Every . act of the enemy evinces a most markeddetermination of carry. . ing hostility to the very kilt extremity; approaching our posts, , day and night, under cover of an impervious and incombustible jungle; constructing stockades and.letioubta on every toad and. path-way, even within musket-shot of our sentrie s , and from these hidden fitatnesses carrying on a most barbarous and harassing warfare, firing upon our sentries at all hours of the night, and lurking on the outskirts of the jungle, for the put. • pose of carrying off any unlucky wretch whom chance may throw in their way. • ~ At one post in particular they h ave been unusually bold and troublesome, often appearing in large bodies in front of the picquet, rind had been constantly heard during the night• fell mg timber, and making other preparations for defence. On the 27th ult. my Aide-de-Camp, „Captain Snodgrass, having Observed a body of the enemy a short distance in front; of this post, apparently making their observations on our line, lie advanced with a small patrole for the purpose of feeling them, and.aseertaining their strength anti intentions. They faund sentries and posts regularly established, which having driven - before them to where the path-way on which they were advancing joins ti main road, they were suddenly fired upon from a stockade only forty yards distant, and an entrance be. ing observed in an angle of the work, which the enemy In his . hurry had neglected to shut, an immedi a t e c h arge was or d ered, and this small party, consisting of 18 men of his Majesty's 38th regiment, drove from a strong and well constructed stockade, at least :'OD men, with the'trifiing loss of three men wounded. . . , From the precautions which the enemy, on the preseding evening, appeared to have adopted for the • defence of the road above alluded to. I felt convinced it must lead to grounds which it was intended we should not. approach. I therefore. On the morning of the 20th, left camp, with four companies of. Europeans from his Majesty's 13th and 38th regiments 250 irepoys, and one gun and n howitzer from the Bengal artillery. • On approaching the stockade taken on the preceding evening, ; we found it re-occupied, but only a few shots were fired front •: it, wounding one man of the 13th regiment. About a mile further on, we came 'upon two more stockades, admirably con,- eructed upon well chosen ground, not quite finished, and. • abandoned by the enemy, all of which were destroyed. Con.; tinuing to advance through a thickly wooded country, we ob served, at every opening in the mad, parties of the retreating enemy, beyond the reach of musketry, but some excellent . practice was made with round shot and shrapnels by the air.. tillery. Atter marching in this manner seven miles. front .- camp, I found the artillery soldiers quite exhausted with fa- , • tigue, and was under the necessity of' sending back the guns, • escorted byahe native infantry.
