AFRICA. We have received the Royal Gazette and Sierra Leone Advertiser to the 20th January. The fol 'oNving extracts present gratifying evidence of the improving state of the Colony : SIERRA LEONE, JAN. 1, 1825. The number of vessels which have already arrived to load I timber this season far exceeds that of any former one ; five have lately sailed for England with full cargoes, and there is now a of 460 tons ready for sea; besides this, no less than 21 yes --'s, making 3000 tons of shipping, are at present trading, all of wnich, it is expected, will be dispatched by the end of February. We hope our timber merchants will be enabled to complete their engagementiwith all the ships they are expecting. Many of the Gentleyoeu . engaged in this trade have certainly a great stock on hand ready for shipping ; others, however, we fear, are not at well prepared, and depend' principally upon the natives Pbr their supplies as the season advances. This may lead to disappointment; for although the quantity of timber is we may say inexhaustible, still we are of opinion that it requires for te present demand a much greater population than is settled near the river to cut, square, and bring it to the water side. The labour of the latter is every day increasing, from the cutters having to go further from the water side than formerly to find vets fit for their purpose. This we hope will engage the public spirits of those engaged in this trade, as much for their own interest as for the benefit of the Natives, to introduce the same trucks for bringing down the timber as those used in England and other parts of the world. At preselit the Natives have no, machinery of any kind, nor do they make use of cattle to assist in transporting the logs. The whole process is downright ma nual labour, which of course is very tedious, and requires five limes the number of people it otherwise would. This is al ready demonstrated by the numerous strangers from other parts of the country (where they might, but for that, be equally well employed), who have flocked to the river in order to procure employment, which they find no difficulty in obtaining. We turn from this branch of commerce in our Colony to the other parts of the coast, where we find a similar spirit of enter prise springing. In the Gambia the trade in timber has lately commenced on the most liberal scale, and with the best prospect of interest to the merchants engaged. A large ship, the Post humous, is also expected daily to load ship timber, at the new formed settlement of St. George ; and we have further under saod that it is in contemplation by some of our merchants, to make establishments for the same commerce in one of the neigh bouring rivers, the " Scarcies." The only difficulty we fear, in the way of this undertaking, is the shallowness of the water upon the bar. The timber growing on its banks is the same as the teak of this river ; and the natives are so extremely anxious to have an opportunity of employing themselves in cutting it flr sale, that they have sent to request such establishments might be made; we therefore hope that the intentions of our merchants may be fully realised. It may be necessary to remark, that timber is not the only article taken home by the vessels employed in this trade ; those t-ont this invariably carry away large quantities of C^mwood, and most of them wax, ivory, hides, and gold. DEC. 25. At a late hour on Friday night his Honor Governor Hamil ton, arrived in town, accompanied by the Hon. T. Retie', hav ing been exposed to the whole fury of tornado which came on so unseasonably that night. We are truly happy to find that his Honor has not sustained any serious inconvenience from the ftitigue and exposure which he has undergone in his trip round the peninsula, and that the party of gentlemen who accompa nied the Governor enjoy the most perfect health, notwithstand ing the numerous egaremens de la route which some of the rear party are said to have sustained. On Saturday last arrived his Most Christian Majesty's gun brig Bressane, Lieut. de Vaisseau Le Hubie. This vessel brought dispatches from M. Hugon, the acting Governor-in- Chief of Senegal and its dependencies, for his Excellency the Governor. 31. Le Hubie saluted the fort with 21 guns, which was returned to him; and in the evening he dined with his 3t,nor the acting Governor, who bad invited a select party to ineet him. M. Le Hubie had strict orders to join the Hebe and Dra gon (part of the French squadron) at Cape Mount on the 14th ilitant, and was therethre under the necessity of sailing on Sucday with the morning tide. Most earnestly do we hope mat the cruise of the French squadron along the coast this sea a4.:ri will be productive of some good, as we continue to re ceive the painful intelligence of a considerable number of ves sels engaged in the slave trade wh , ch hoist the white flag. We hope to give some interesting details upon this subject in a fu gue nut6er. THE INDIAN ARMY. OF BREVET RANK OF CAPTAIN TO SUBALTERN OFFICERS. Bombay Ca'stle, Sept. 9, 1824. The Honourable the Governor in Council is pleased to pub -I;sh, for general information, the following extract of a letter from the Honourable the Court of Directors, in the Military Denartment, dated the 14th April, 1824 : i'ara. 2d. We have had under our particular consideration the rules by which the period of service of our Officers is calcu lated in ascertaining their claim to the Brevet rank of Captain under our orders of the 3d of August, 1815. ‘3tl. In June, 1819, we had occasion to observe that the sys tem adopted by our several Governments in carrying those or (101i into effect was erroneous, inasmuch as it had the effect of giving the rank of Captain to Officers who had not served the required period. We.then directed that no Subaltern should he entitled to promotion by Brevet, until he had completed fifteen years' service. commencing from the date of the list in which he was I ranked. on proceeding to India. sth. Having lately ascertained that a different rule prevails in granting the Brevet rank of Captain to Subaltern Officers his I'fisjesty's. Regiments in India, in consequence of which; thane Officers are liable to supercession by the system now in force in our Army, we find it necessary to revise our Orders of August, 1815, and June, 1819, before referred to. ith. The time of service of his Majesty's Officers is cakes lazed from the date of their first Commissions as Comets or linsigns. The same rule must be adopted in our service from the date of your receipt of these orders. 7th. With respect to Commissions which have been issued vender a different principle, we have to state, that in considera tion of the inconvenience, and the confusion which would re sult from canceling so many Commissions, and disturbing • Officers ht the enjoyment of rank, which many of them have held several years, these orders are not intended to have any retrospective effect ; and we are happy to state, that his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief acquiesces in the arrange ment. • Bth. But we direct, and in the most positive manner, that Abevale now prescribed be enforced in all future cases ; and tbsitthe rank of Captain shall not be granted, by brevet, to any OWcer who has not previously obtained that rank by regimental rise, until he shall have completed a period of 15 years' service, _xeciconing from-the date ofhis first Commission -as Second Lieu tenant, Cornet, or Ensign. The Dutch and Belgic Journals are still filled with accounts of the immense damage done by the late inundations. In the Province of Overyssel, 19.,000 head of cattle perished, 1500 dwelling houses were totally destroyed, and upwards of 3000 persons lost the whole of their property A letter from East Frieseland estimates the loss ,in winter fruits, furniture, houses, and cattle of every description at upwards of three millions of dollars, between five and six hundred thousand pounds sterling. The celebrated village of Brock in Waterland, which suffered severely in the late terrible overflowings, has not only declined all pecuniary aid, but has actually advanced the sum of 300,000 florins (upwards of 48,0001. sterling) 'to their distressed compatriots. AMERICA. ELECTION of PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES. By the Canton, arrived from New York at Liverpool, papers have been received to the 12th ultimo. The election to the Presidency of. the United States is at lastdecided in favour of Mr. ADAMS. Though we trust we shall have no favours to demand of the United States, and shall conscientiously abstain from any conduct that may require their forbearance, yet a friendly disposition on the part of a Govern ment, betwen which and our own topics of con-..: mercial rivalry may come to be discussed, will prevent misconceptions. We therefore rejoice in the election of Mr. AnAms, though we suppose we should have had nothing to fear from that of General JACKSON. The triumph of the success ful candidate may also be abated by the consi deration of the difficulty and the means by which his success has been achieved. Ile must have been defeated but for the timely junction of Mr. CLAY'S party—Mr. CLAY having retired front the contest. It affords matter for reflection to observe, that the charge of corruption is brought even in the election to - this the su preme office of the State. Hereditary sncression, in a limited Monarchy, seems less objectionable as a system than a periodic election, as far at least as regards the liability to such a charge. The numbers at the close of the proceedings stood as follows :—For Mr. ADAMS, 13; Gen. JACKSON, 7 ; Mr. CRAWFOII9, 4. This is only the second time since the period of American In dependence, that the election for the office of President has devolved on the House of Repre sentatives. It may be of some interest, there fore, as connected with this subject, to give the following outlines of the rules adopted in 1801, when the first election was made by that body. At that period the electoral votes Were 73 for Mr. JEFFERSON, and 73 for Mr. Buna. We copy from the Boston Sentinel:— " The declaration of the votes took place in the Senate Cham ber, on Wednesday, the llth of February. After the declara tion that a choice had not been made by the Electors, and that it devolved on the House of Representatives, the House con vened in its own Chamber, and furnished seats for the Senate, as witnesses. The house had previously adopted rules, that it should continue to ballot without interruption by other busi ness, and should not adjourn, but have a permanent session until the choice be made; and that the doors of the house shall be closed during the balloting, except against the officers of the house. " The following was directed to be the mode of balloting : Each State had a ballot box in which the members belonging to it, having previously appointed a teller, put the votes of the State ; the teller on the part of the United States having then counted the votes, duplicates of the result were put by him into two general ballot boxes. Tellers being nominated by each State for the purpose of examining the general ballot boxes, they were divided into two parts, of whom one examined one of the general ballot boxes, and the other examined the other. Upon comparing the result and finding them to agree, the votes were stated to the Speaker, who declared them to the House.' " The number of States was 16—nine necessary to a choice. On the first ballot, Mr. Jefferson had eight States, Mr. Burr six, and two were divided. " The first ballot took place about four o'clock p. m. Seven other ballots, with similar results, succeeded, when a respite took place, during which the members retired to the lobbies, and took refreshments. Mr. Nicholson, of Maryland, being unwell, had a bed provided for him in one of the lobbies, to which the tellers took the balloting-box of the State for his vote. At three o'clock in the morning of the 12th, two other ballots took place, and at four o'clock in the morning, the 21st trial, several of the members came in with their night-caps on. At twelve at noon of the 12th, the 28th the ballot took place, when the House adjourned to the next day, having probably, in secret session, dispensed with the rule for the permanent session. On Friday, the 13th, the House proceeded to the 30th ballot, without a choice, and again adjourned to the next day. On Saturday, the 14th, the ballot ing* had the same result. On Tuesday, the 17th, at the 36th ballot, the Speaker declared, at one o'clock, that Mr. Jefferson was elected, having the votes of New York, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland four votes for Mr. Jeff,rson, and four blanks, and Vermont one vote fur Mr. Jeffasoo and one blank vote. Thus ended the scene." A SINGULAR CHALLENGE. The following singular challenge is contained in a letter from Sir WILLIAM IfI;I{BERT, of St. Julian's, in Monmouthshire, father-in-law to the famous Lord HERBERT, of Cherbury, to a gentle man of the name of MottoAN. The original is in the British Museum. " SlR—Peruse this letter in God's name. Be not di , quieted. I reverence your hoary hair.

OCCASIONED BY TAXING WRONG MEDICINE, WHICH WAS ERRONEOUSLY LABELLED• On Saturday evening an Inquest, was held before Mr. inus, and a most 'respectable Jury,at the late residence of Win. Owen, Esq. No. M, Bruton.street, Berkeley-square, whose death was occasioned under the following afflicting cir cumstances : Martha Evans sworn—l was cook to the late deceased gen tleman, and had been in his service two years and a half. He was so unwell all the time that he kept his room, having lost the use of his limbs. My master had been in the constant habit of taking medicine (luring that period, and very early in the morning. About three o'clock on Friday morning the de ceased called me. I went immediately, and inquired if he \mild take . tea ? Ile said no, but he would take his draught at four. I then took a bottle from the table where the medicine was always placed. Only one bottle was there ; Mrs. Owen had put it there between eleven and twelve the preceding night, and told me it was a draught for my master to take when he wished to have it. This bottle I showed to the deceased at four o'clock, as he was particular in reading- the label, and he said, "It is very right.'' I cannot read writing myself. I shook the bottle, and poured the liquid into a glass. Ile swal lowed the medicine, and immediately observed that it had a dif ferent taste from his former physic. lie looked at it several times, and repeated it was " the draught." Ile added that I was to take care of the bottle, and give it to his son, Mr. W. Owen, for hint to take to the chemists, saying that perhaps they had varied the medicine. I slept in the same apartment as de. ceased. He desired me to go to bed, and begged I would not disturb him. I did so, and awoke about five. The deceased then snored very loud, and I considered be was going into a fit (being subject to them). 1 went to him, when he told me he was going to sleep. At six o'clock I again heard him snore, which being very unusual, I eaquired of hint if he was ill, and whether the medicine had disagreed with him ? The deceased said that his head ached, and he wanted sleep. About half an hour afterwards I rang the bell for our boy, and soon after the deceased appeared very sleepy, but would speak, and desired me not to be alarmed, as he was only sleepy. I sent the boy to call my master's son, to whom I said there was a great alteration in his father for the worse, and that I considered a wrong medicine had been administered; I instantly brought the deceased some tea, but he could not swallow it. The deceased gentleman was between 50 and 60 years of age. Mr. William Owen said, my father, now deceased, was in the habit of taking an opening draught, prescribed by Sir An thony Carlisle, and he daily took a preparation of opium, call ed Battley's Drops. lie invariably took thirty drops on going to bed. The two phials I now produce were brought home by one of our servants on Wednesday last. On one is a label, containing these words—" The draught as before, for W. Owen :" the other phial is now full, and has written on it'" Battley's Drops." This I have no doubt contains the draught that ought to have been taken by my father—the cas tor oil of it is quite visible. As soon as I discovered the unfor tunate mistake, I sent for medical assistance. After my father's death, I went to the chemist's shop, where the mistake was ac knowledged to have occurred, and that it was accidentally done by one of the young men. Mr. Robert flicks, of Conduit-street, surgeon, said, I was sent for on Friday, between seven and eight o'clock, to attend the deceased ; I went instantly, but in consequence of some mistake in the message, I repaired first to the Haymarket in stead of Bruton-street, conceiving the melancholy occurrence had taken place there. I arrived at the latter place soon after eight, where I saw the deceased gentleman, who was in a state of stupor. I administered ati emetic, and repeated it—he brought up much matter from his stomach. I after wards sent to Sir. Weiss, instrument-manufacturer, in the Strand, for some instruments, with which I injected liquid and extracted a great portion of matter. The deceased, how ever, gradually got worse, and lingered till near four o'clock the same afternoon, and then expired. I have to add, that I was informed that the deceased gentleman had take n a q uantit y of poisonous matter. Battley's Drops is (a nostrum) a prepar ation of opium. Joseph .Jenkins, a servant of the deceased, said, on Wed nesday evening I went to the chemist's shop in the Haymarket, I asked for a draught—( I have procured such a draught there forty or fifty times before for my master); and also, fora bottle of Battley's Drops. I left the order and called again in an hour, when the two bottles were given to me, which I brought home, and took into the deceased's room. This being the whele of the evidence, the .Jury most deeply lamented the unfortunate mistake that had occurred , and after a long, consultation, dtur.etioirwneetilii Esq. died front takin g a the following verdi c t : — large quantity of Battley's Drops, the bottle containin g that liquid having been negligently . and incautiously labell ed the person who prepared the medicine as an opening draught, suck as the said Sir. Owen had been in the habit of taking." 1‘ EST INDIA DOCKS. STOCK. ACCOUNT for the Week ending Saturday, the 12th of March, 11;25. THE KENT INDIAMAN.

Soon alter he received the money, a well-dressed fellow, who followed him, accosted him by his name, and said there was a mistake in the money, which he peremtorily insisted on the lad giving him, olf,ring him at the same time a spurious check for 220/. to be cashed at the bank. The lad, however, declined, as he per ceived the object of the swindler, who left him disappointed. It is supposed the fellow obtruded himself info the tr.nk and saw the check, the name of the drawer, and the amount of the money. It is probable, that this is the same fellow who swin dled a lad by similar means about a fortnight ago in the city.

THE SUN. SOLEN QUIS DICEILE FALsuAr .-WIMAT LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCIIIS, 105. The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived hitt night. The following are the only extracts worth giving : ( From the Etoile. ) PARIS, MAncn 12. It is announced that the troops, who at the desire of King Ferdinand remained in Spain after the time fixed for the evacu ation, will depart on the Ist of April. Two French squadron* will be stationed on the coasts of Galicia and in the Bay' of Biscay. (From the Coustitutionnel.) PARIS, MARCH 12. It is positively asserted that the Court of Rome demands at ) indemnity for the comtat of Avignon. What will the Minizarf do, bowed down under the yoke of the congregations on the other side of the Alps ? If it satisfies them, it again load , the country with those enormous burthens, the voting which is matter of such regret to M. Breton, but which seem light to hi• Villele, seeing that France has already paid many others, and that the more money that is drawn from her the richer she be comes. If by any chance the Ministry should make any diffi culty in sufficiently making up for this spoliation of the church property, it might risk them loss of place. There is no doubt that this consideration will determine their acquiescence. The treaty of Tolentino ought to be sufficient to rebut the pretensions of the Court of Rome ; but it would, perhaps, h e said that that was not more binding on her than the civil ode on the emigrants.
