His lordship ought to be taken to task by some of his wiser colleagues. The appointment ought to be noticed in parliament. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We have deemed it our duty to copy from an evening con temporary (the Globe) a letter from the Rev. Mr. Gleig, in which he admits that, down to the passing of the Reform Bill, he was a zealous anti-reformer, and both spoke and wrote against the bill; but, that since he has confined himself to the duties of his charge. The reverend gentleman says that he never was editor of any newspaper, and, moreover, that if any further personal attack be directed against him, he will not notice it. We believe, with respect to the editorship of the Kentish Gazelle, the controversy is merely verbal. There might be some nominal editor, hut it is well known that for a length of time the leading articles were furnished by him. We know of no personal attacks directed against the rev. gentleman. He is not to blame, but Lord John Russell, who, in distributing his patronage, forgot that he was a trustee who had other consi derations to attend to than the mere gratification of private in. clinations. The Whigs either have principles by which they are distinguished from the Tories, or they have not. If they have, they are bound to bestow their patronage in such a man ner as to obtain support for their own principles. By the bye, Colonel Evans, though representative of Westminster, has too lately obtained a character himself to assume the airs of a patron. He has reason to thank his good fortune; but he should not allow himself to be so far elevated by it, as to sup pose that Lord John Russell can only be saved by his pro ection. KING'S THEATRE. This theatre opened for the season on Saturday night, and we were glad to find the house well attended, the boxes and pit being crowded to an overflow—chiefly, we suppose, in con sequence of the appearance of Mademoiselle Taglioni, who undertook the favourite character of the Sylph in the ballet. The pieces performed were the Gazza Ladra and the Sylphide. No complaint can reasonably be made against the cast of the Gazza Ladra, but that the prima donna was deficient ; all the other parts were well filled for any period of the season. We have complained of the prinsa donna (Madame Feron) and that is enough ; she is an accomplished and a practised singer, no doubt, and if her voice be not quite equal to the King's The atre, she is not to blame, nor is Laporte for employing her. Although the Gazza Ladra was first composed for her, it is an opera which especially requires that the principal female part should be well filled. Zuchelli returned to his part of the Father, which lately has been taken from him by Tamburini, and thoroughly satisfied all his hearers ; the trio, near the close of the first act, was encored on his account, although it is but justice to Giubillei (who acted Il Magistrato) to admit that he, too, merited a large share of applause. Curioni was suffi cient for the lover, and that is all we can say of him, though we would willingly praise him more highly, if only for old ac quaintance sake. Mrs. Anderson played Pippo, but not very efficiently, which may easily be explained by the lateness of the hour at which she was called upon to take the character. The other parts were in the ordinary hands, De kngeli, Cas. telli, &c. The choruses were unusually full, and they were well executed. The orchestra, under Spagnoletti, we need not praise. After the opera, " God save the King" was sung as usual, and in the usual style, i. e. badly. The ballet of La Sylphide enabled Taglioni to re-appear, to the delight of a very crowded audience. Nothing can possibly be more graceful or delicate than her representation of the aerial being who falls in love with the young Scotsman. We fancied that she looked thinner than last season ; but she is so.exquisitely light, that it is almost impossible that she has any flesh and blood about her. The applause she received throughout was unbounded, espe cially when she was discovered at the rising of the curtain atthe feet of her lover, gazing at him tenderly. We missed Albert, and yet did not miss him, for his absence was very well supplied by Guerinot. All the tableau part of the business was ma. naged with great exactness and good effect. SURREY THEATRE. The Devil's Bridge (Pont du Diable), of the French, has been brought out and well received. EDWIN plays Count Belino with taste, and is much applauded. Miss SOMERVILLE is the Rosalvina. She was ill, we believe, the first night, and did not sing all the songs. The writer of a burlesque drama, called the Revolt of the Seraglio, has excelled Dudalus himself, inasmuch as he has taken a rapid flight to regions beyond the poles. In his newly discovered land, he presents man as the lord of the creation in a state of imbecility ; the slave (as he really is) of the fair sex. The woman governs, and man is considered a creature of weakness and incapacity. The political allusions are ludicrous enough. The Pelar Queen is sur rounded by a cabinet of female notables. There are the first lady of the treasury ; the first lady of the admiralty; the lady commander of the forces, and other great members of the council. There is the ceremony of giving constitutional advice to the sovereign ; the breaking up of a ministry, and the ac cepting of places; with other movements well known in political departments. The degraded men beyond the poles are at last incited to rebel in the seraglio of the Queen. They destroy the dominion of the ladies, and tho whole is realty-eosnio. It is received every night with reiterated applause. It would be much improved if some of the double entendre was omitted. Miss VINCENT, VALE, and CHARLES HILL, are the support of the piece. THE GREAT WESTERN CEMETERY. The spot chosen for the Great Western Cemetery (the particulars of which will be found in another column) appears to be well adapted for the purpose, and is just beyond Ken sington Gardens (1). One portion of this estate, called Nor. land Farm, is let to a farmer at a considerable rental. Another, comprising twelve acres and a half, is walled in ; these were the grounds - of Norland House, occupied, until destroyed by fire, (2) ten years ago, by H. Drummond, Esq. All around are lofty trees, many of which are of great beauty and size. There are also divers woody plantations, gravel walks and shrubs in various parts of the grounds. At the further extre mity of this general enclosure, on the right hand, and on the left, is a raised mound formed some eighty years ago, by the earth thrown out of the sunken foss which abounds the western extremity. It is a curious thing to see the manner in which the now ancient trees have grown forming groves on either side of these elevations, which might at some future day offer spots of more than ordinary interest, whilst, at all events, they could serve, for the present, as watch towers to prevent unlawful en trance or depredation. The estate is a peninsula, for the county creek bounds the north, south, and west sides ; the eastern, facing the road, is secured in great part by a lofty wall ; so that in the way of security, with the anatomy bill, very little outlay is required. On the north side, the estate is also bounded by a private road and lofty wall, at the end of which there is one of the several gate entrances. On the south, or opposite side, there is, as it were, a wilderness of brush wood, and a long hedged-in footpath bordered by an extensive range of ancient plane trees, whilst the centre of the ground exhibits a lawn most beautiful to look upon, without any trees. Nor land Well, within the grounds, concealed by a thicket, is sur rounded by five trees of very large girth. About the year 1756 its waters were in great celebrity, and the whole neighbour hood was supplied from its arising. For this purpose, within the kitchen garden, not far distant, an extensive reservoir was made, presenting an immense area of brick.work, of consider able value and future utility. It is of very surprising extent. The boundaries are covered with stone coping, and the whole is surrounded with chain work. In the transparent waters of this receptacle, are flourishing the finest water lilies, and other aquaccous plants. The kitchen garden, within which is the above, except where it is enclosed by a row of towering trees, is surrounded by a very high wall covered with fruit trees, also of considerable extent. The whole of the extensive outbuild. ings are still standing, and in excellent condition. Next the Great Western, or Uxbridge road, there is a long line of wall with two double gates, of great height and good proportions, of ornamental iron work. This enclosure, from the capabilities of the space being increased at pleasure, is in every respect more suitable as an economical Metropolitan burial ground. (1) In consequence ofthe frequent excavation of Metropolitan Burial Grounds, (several having been excavated since the year 1825, as well as many churches pulled down), and the crowded state of the public vaults, many remains contained in lead will almost of necessity be removed into this new Cemetery. Taking the number upon a very moderate calculation to be only 5,000, in ten years, the account would be 5,000 removals if belonging to subscribers at 21. each......£10,000 The public at 31. each £15,000 But of these, 2,1 , 00 would probably belong to different families, who would purchase sites at 211. If Subscribers, the amount would be The public at 25/. each 50,000 0ta1... £ 52, £65,000 Which return would b e wholly i T ndependent oo of o the revenue from ordinary burials, sales of vaults, &c.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR FEBRUARY; The wet weather which is the proverbial accompaniment of February exhausted its sources in a considerable degree pre viously to the commencement of the month, which has been of a varied character, but by no means so very wet as the pre ceding ones of the winter. One distinguishing feature, that of mildness, has continued to prevail ; for although there have been some very white hoar frosts, with tender ice in the ponds and edges of the streams, there has been nothing of power enough to arrest a briskish current, or stop the plough for many hours together. There has, however, been a small but seasonable check given to the rank effects of moisture and warmth, which were displaying themselves in an undue sprout of vegetation during the course of the last month. There have been drying winds occasionally from the colder quarters, a cooler and lighter atmosphere, sometimes accompanied by sun lit days, and sometimes by darkened skies. Nothing can be more obvious than the beneficial change which has thus been wrought in the growing wheats. They have again extended their green net-work over the surface of the ground, close to which they lie in humble but vigorous growth. The prospect which this crop exhibits, however little we may be able to form any adequate judgment of the ultimate result, is certainly at present cheering, especially on the sound dry loams. Wet and retentive soils, particularly if combined with inferior manage ment, have suffered in some degree from the wetness of the season. Farmers are frequently too negligent of that prime ingredient of good husbandry—draining. Even where springs do not occur, the mischief done by the retention and soakage of surface water is often very considerable, and on a retentive soil or subsoil ought sedulously to be provided against. It is true that the present times are such that it happens, not seldom, in the outlay of money, that when the cultivator is willing, the purse is weak ; and although this operation, where circumstances indicate the propriety of its adoption, is almost as necessary to the production of a crop as the seed from whence it is to spring, yet the farmer is surely rather to be pitied than blamed who is precluded from following the highs; and better practices of agriculture, not from want of skill or diligence, but from defi ciency ofmeans and money. Tares are looking uncommonly vigo rous and healthy. A large breadth of this useful plant was sown at the season of Autumn, and the deficiency of the turnip crop has also been indirectly the cause of a large additional quan tity of Summer tares being sown, to succeed to those which must be fed off as early or earlier than they are fit to be turned in to. Young grasses and clovers have also been a little checked in the forced march they were so hastily taking, but the mis chief is, that on many soils not eminently adapted to the growth of clover, they have marched off in considerable bodies, leaving the plant spotty and thin. Indeed, the frequent recur rence of the failure of the clover crop has become a matter of serious importance in the practice of farming, derang ing some of our most approved courses of crops, and ren dering the discovery of some plant that might be substituted, occasionally at least, for clover, a grand disideratum in hus bandry. Turnips have also been a little kept back; but the impulse given to them has been so strong, and the time of year is so close at hand when they are always disposed to obey it, that flower stacks and blossoms arc still shooting into perni cious luxuriance, and robbing the bulb of its nutritious quali. tics. The weather during the past month has been more fa vourable to sheep, and accordingly those animals have thriven better. Yeaning has made considerable progress in many dis tricts, and not without a fair share of success. The lambs fall strong and healthy; there have been few heavy, chilling rains, nor intemperate weather of any kind, to extinguish life at its commencement, or retard the growth of the young nurselings. From some quarters, however, losses to no inconsiderable amount are complained of among the ewes. The price of wool still keeps up, and has even advanced since our last report, There is in reality a brisk demand, although an attempt, and, hitherto an unsuccessful one, has been made by the manufac. turers to lower the rate of prices by an affected coyness in dealing. They have no longer, however, the simple farmer to deal with ; the article is gone out of his hands, and, however keen the Yorkshire and other manufacturers may be, they will probably find that the staplers are " Yorkshire too." Some of these gentlemen who bought early, and had wit or good luck enough to hold their wools, have made, and are making, for tunes ; but, should there be any whom present prices will not induce to clear out their stocks, they may chance to hold on until they burn their fingers. The corn-market still continues dull, with an average of 48s. 9d. for wheat, 275. 4d. for barley, and 18s. 2d. for oats. There is a little briskness in the demand for very prime samples of wheat and malting barley, but with out any advance in price. Even the feelings in favour of the agricultural interest, which have manifested themselves in Par liament, do not seem to have power to move the corn.market. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DINNER TO SIR WILLIANI BLIZARD, ON HIS RESIGNATION OF THE OFFICE OF HEAD SURGEON TO THE LONDON HOSPITAL.-On Saturday evening up. wards of 180 gentlemen, amongst whom were many of ihe most distinguished members of the medical profession, sat down to a sumptuous dinner at the Albion Him 1, Aldersgate-street, in manifestation of their sense of esteem for the venerable individual who hail filled the above office for half a century, during which period 1 e per formed its duties with the most praiseworthy zeal and attention. The day being the anniv, rsary of the birth day of Sir William, was especially chosen for the cele bration, as being the most appropriate. The galleries were crowded by ladies, assembled to witness the festi vities of the evening, the effect of which was aided by the performance of the juvenile English Paganini on the guitar, and by sonic very superior singing. William Cotton, Esq., F.R.S., preside , , and, after the usual pie pa, atory toasts had been given, proposed the health of Sir William Maud, which was received with enthusiastic cordiality expressive of the sincerity of the respect enter tained by the company for that gentleman. The convi vialities of the night were kept up until a very late hour, and Sir William Blizard, on retiring with the stewards, was greeted as he paned by the company, standing, wit the most flattering marks of approbation and esteem. The chairman shortly afterwards vacated the chair, and was succeeded by Francis Kemble, Esq. The company did not separate till morning. The Countess Grey gave another conversa zione in Downing-street, on Thursday evening, to a circle of about 100 fashionables. Among the company were— the Lievens, Seftons, Ormelies, Stafford, of Cossey, Stuart de Rothsay, Cavendishes, Lanadownes, Brownlows, Alhe marles, Howdens, Vernon Smiths, Hardys, Asliburnhams, Dacres, Sandwich, Foleys, Byngs, Durham, Fanes, Rosslyn, Broughams, Clarendons, Glengalls, Aucklands, Melbourne, Riehmonds, Ansons, Murrays, Ponsonbys, and a'l the Foreign Ministers except Baron Bulow and Prince Esterbazy. The party broke up at half-past cne. The Earl and Countess of Warwick have arrived in Carlton-gardens, from Warwick Castle. The notice which Mr. Peter, the Member for Bodin;n, had given for an address to the Crown, to remove his Lord- whip from the Lord Lieutenancy of the county of Warwick, has been postponed in consequence of a domestic calamity in the family of the hon. gentleman, the death of one of his sons, an officer in the army. The Speaker of the House of Commons gave his third Parliamentary dinner on Saturday evening, to the following members:—The Marquis of Bland(ord, Lords Stanley, Dolmeny, Dud'ey Stuart, William Lennox, Sirs Ingilby, William Molesworth, General Palmer, Colonels Davies, Torrens, Majors Beauclerk, Fancourt, Messrs. D. O'Connell, 11. Grattan, Humphrey, Ruthven, Sheil, Hume, Gi.borne, H. Moreton, A. Moreton, N. Fitzsimons, Anderson, Pelham, Warburton, Alderman Wood, T. Attwood, Benett, Douglas, Hallyburton, Guest, W. Clay, Divett, F. O'Connor, O'Dwyer, Finn. The Speaker also held his first levee for the season, and at which there was a very numerous attendance of members in uniform and full court dress. Sir Robert Peel commenced a series of splen did political banquets to members of both Houses of Par liament on Friday last, at his residence in Privy Gardens. Among the company were the Marquis Camden, Earl of Brecknock, Earl and Countess Clanwilliam, Earl and Countess de Grey, Earl of Shaftesbury, Earl of Rosslyn, Lords Wharncliffe, Ellenborougb, Chief Justice Tindal, Sirs Charles Bacot, John Beckett, Henry Halford, Right Hon. Henry Hobhouse. The Right Hon. Baronet gave another dinner on Saturdsy evening, to the Earl of Dir lington, Lords Ernest Bruce, Henniker, Tullamore, Ro bert Manuers, Sirs John Tyrrell. Hairy Borrard Neale, R. Inglis, Edward Kerrison, J. R. Reid, Major Baring, Messrs. Egerton Miles, G. R. Trevor, J. Daley, Cart might, M. Attwood, E. Stan'ey, Bonham, Pracd, G. Finch, Captains Jones and Ferguson. We understand that the amiable daughter of the Duke of Bedford is to be united to the eldest son of Edward Ellice, Esq., M P., nephew to Earl Grey. Mr. Ellice will probably he raised to the Peerage at the first creation.—Court Journal. The Marquis and Marchioness of .Abercorn have arrived at their seat at Stanmore, from their visit to the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, at Woburn Abbey, where they made a stay of two months. His Lordship has been employed in making great improvements in his domains there—the carriage roaeto the mansion, from London, has been enlarged, a new lodge constructed, &c. The Marquis is collecting articles of vertu to adorn the interior of the mansion at a great expense. Earl Fitzwilliam proceeded on Saturday from his residence in Grosvenor-square, to a visit of some days to the Earl of Liverpool, at Buxted Park, Sussex. The Noble Earl has resigned his establishment at Mortimer House, Grosvenor•place, to his son, Viscount Milton ; who was recently united to Lady Selina Jenkinson. THE EARL OF WESTMORELAND's ILL NESS.—An express arrived in town on Saturday last from Apethorpe, the seat of the noble lord, in Northampton. shire, with an arc mat of his sudden and dangerous indis position. Viscount Burghersh lost not a moment in hastening his departure, but it is feared that he would arrive too late. It was, we bear, a stroke of apoplexy. For several days past the Russian Ambassador has gone every morning on toot to the Tuileries, entering by the garden, and it has been observed that he has fie• quently come out just as the Council of Ministers was about to commence its sittings. The Ambassador has al.o paid fiequent visits_to the Duke of Orleans.— Coma tutiunnel. HYDE PARK.—The Park yesterday after noon, in consequence of the fine mild weather, attracted a numerous assemblage of wall-dressed individuals, and the promenades had a very gay appearance, the ladies in ge neral having appeared in the spring attire. In the even ing several splendid equipages made their appearance in the fashionable drive, while some of the equestrians in Rotten-row, from their extreme awliwaidness, afforded ample amusement to the gazers in the promenades. It is said that Prince Pozzo di Borgo ad dressed, a short time ago, to the Due de Broglie an earnest request that Prince Czartoryski, and ooe or two other distinguished Poles, might not again be admi.ted to the Ministerial soirees of the Duke ; who declined compliance, on the ground of " not choosing to desert an old friend." We have always understood that the first diplomatic ap- pointment ever filled by Pozzo di Borgo was procured for him by Prince Czartoryski's interest; nor was it observed that his Excellency entertained stay objection to meeting the Prince at Lansdowne Home, or the assemblies of Countess Grey, when on a visit to this country last season. —Court Journal. In the Chamber of Deputies of Paris on Thursday last, M. Dupin, the President, informed the Chamber that be had received from the Speaker of the British House of Commons a number of volumes of Par liamentary papers, which render now complete up to the present moment the collection of English Parliamentary documents. The President added that he would send to the English House of Commons a complete collecion of the documents of the French Legislative Assemblies. Some of Sir William 'Horne's friends give out that, though shelved for the present, he is not to be overlooked should a berth in equity present Baron Smith, in his charge to the grand jury at Trim assizes, on Tuesday, alluding to the late attack upon him by the Irish agitating interest, observed that though be was an old min, yet he wanted seven years of the patriarchs! age (75) which hal been ascribed to him. Mr. David Roche, member for Limerick, presented a petition on Friday evening from the parish o f Knockaney, in the county of Limerick, against tithes and for the repeal of the union, both of which objects had his best support. Mr. Bunn, the lessee of, Drury-lane and Covent-garden Theatres, is probably by this time not far from Milan. Letters have been received from him, dated in Paris, on Wednesday last, seating that on Thursday he was to start for Italy. His object, we are informed, is to secure some striking novelty, as well as to come to terms with Madame Malibran ; and in London it has been gene. rally said that he has a project for bringing out Italian operas at one of the national winter theatres. This report we do not at all believe. It has been also asserted, that he has en gaged Madame Schroeder Devrient, but this again w•, apprehend to be a mistake. He certainly seems to lose no time, and to spire no pains in obtaining any thing that is likely to be attractive : and his enterprise and activity, we are glad to say, are in a fair way to be rewarded. His profits of late upon his joint speculation at Di ury-lane and Covent-garden, have been extremely large, but perhaps not quite so 1 rge as some of his zealous supporters give out. Against his profits since Christmas are to be placed also considerable losses before Christmas. A new opera by Auber is shortly to be pro duced in Paris; by the time it is ready, Mr. Bunn will have returned thither from his tour; and, if successful, will of course secure it for performance at Covent garden. The gee it popularity of Gustave Trois in London, has tended not a li!tle to re establish Auher's reputation, which was previously somewhat on the wane in the Fr, nch capital. Of his new work the reports from Paris, if they are to be trusted, speak very highly. It is known that Mr. Bann hail engaged Bralfam and Madame Feron for his proj , cted sacred oratorio, Jeptha's Vow, (on which, by the way, he had incurred an expense of nearly 1,000/. be fore it was forbidden,) and it is understood i❑ the musical world that he has continued them with a view to the pro duction of Auber's new opera with all possible effect. A new piece is on the eve of being brought out at the Porte St. Martin Theatre in Paris, which is likely to afford a good subject for our own stace. It is - calculated that the new English Opera House, now rising rapidly in the Strand, opposite \Viler loo Bridge, will be completed and ready for the commence ment of performances by June next. The difficulty iris ing from the strike of the workmen has been got over, and we hope that no new impediment will occur. The money already subscribed is amply sufficient for the theatre, dressing-rooms, and all other u•till appurtenane,os. conclude that Mr. Arnold will not necessarily he cor4ned, in these times, to the per forniasce merely of musical vec s fhe lictqlse of Madame Vesti is is fur hum le' las, each con taining a certain number of songs; yet she has la, en al lowed, and very properly allowed, to represent under that title farces without any music. It is idle to talk of these distinction' now.

Fine dry parcels of Wheat met buyers readily at last week's terms, but other qua lities still remain very dull, and tender samples are nearly unsaleahle.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 1.---The Columbine, IS, Com mander Love, arrived on Tuesday, from Jamaica, which she left on the 4th of December, when the Pallas, Pearl, Serpent, Tweed, Comus, and Rhadamanthus were lying there. The Pearl had 50 men in the hospital, having had 80 seized with fever while she was refitting ; only two fatal cases had taken place. The island was very quiet and satisfied, and confidence was very great in a con tinued good state of contentment. Several of the alive commissioners had arrived out ; the American corvette St. Louis was also there.- The Columbine visited all the ports of the Spanish Main, but could obtain no freight, as the packets bring home the specie at one.per cent., which the men-of-war are not allowed to do for so small a premium. The Pigeon and Lady M try Pelham packets were alone loaded with one million and a half of dollars, i n the presence of the Columbine. She left ihe coast of Mexico on the 9th of January, things being then com paratively quiet. General Bravo, with the Radicals, had been driven away, and the well-disposed and industrious party was protected by Gen. Santa Anna, who was at Vera Cruz, and had decidedly the upper band. Bands of robbers were prowling about the country in all direction!, and no money could come from the mines to the coast un der lees than an escort of 300 men. The Columbine called at the Havannah, which she left on the 28th of January. The Spanish Admiral Laborde had his flag flying there in the Heroine line of-battle ship, and had with him a 22 gun corvette. The slave schooner captured by the Dis patch had arrived at the Havannah for condemnation. Cuba was getting on very prosperously ; it had been for a long time in a very satisfied state; politics were quite out of fashion, their crop season had been good, and the slaves were so domesticated that no apprehension was entertained of any misbehaviour on their part. The Columbine had a very tempestuous passage home; she has been nearly four years from England, in which time she has not lost one of her crew from sickness. When off Tampico the Columbine encountered a heavy gale of wind, and from the heavy pitching and straining of the ship (her bowsprit) having been previously sprung, she was obliged to throW overboard her two after guns, which relieved her. She left Spitbead yesterday morning for Woolwich, to be paid off. Arrived on Wednesday the Revenge, 78, Capt. Mackay, from Lisbon, which place she left on the 9th of February; she came into harbour the fallowing day to be paid off all standing, for re-commissioning. Thursday the Seaflower cutter, Lieutenant Morgan, came in from Lisbon; she left on the 16th with a mail, which she landed at Falmouth on Wednesday morning. The Pelican, 18, Commander Gape, arrived on Sunday from Gibraltar, having left on the 2d of February. Sh e sailed on Wednesday for Chatham to be paid off. She spoke the Bolivar, from Liverpool to Barbadoes, on the 11th, and the Upton Castle, for Bombay, on the 20th, in long. 12. 17., lat. 47. 11. By letters from the coast of Africa we learn that his Majesty's sloop Curlew, 10, Commander H. D. Trotter, had detained a schooner called the E•perariza, on suspicion of harbouring fintes ; and the Curlew was cruising with the Esperanza off the River Bonney on the 7th of Decem— ber. Mr. Matson, acting Lieutenant of the Curlew, had charge of the schooner ; and it was supposed he would either take her to the Cape, or bring her to England to be condemned. The Curlew bad not then received her orders to return home. It is intended the President frigate should go to the West Indies, to be Sir G. Cockburn's flag-ship. Capt. M'Kerlie, his officers and crew, will bring home the Vernon, and it is then supposed he will commission the Vindictive, 52. The Scylla, IS, Commander 1 - lArgood, sailed on Mon— day for Sheerness, to be paid off. The Neapolitan corvette Zephyr, of twenty guns,, sided for Naples on Tuesday last. The Buzzard gun-b rig, and the Drake lighter, will be launched from this dock-yard on the 10th inst. The Flamer steam vessel was commissioned on Wednes day at Woolwich by Lieut. Griffin. She will be ready to take the Malta mail in April. The S.lamander has, been commissioned by Commander Castle; abe is not yet complete with men. Ship; at Woolwich—William and Mary, Faisy, Investigator, Fanny, Medea, Salamander, Dee, and Flamer. At Svithesd—E iinburg!i, and five merchantmen.

Tlie Belvidera, 42, Captain Strong, will go out of harbour to Spitbead on Thursday next ; the Charybdis, 4, Lieut. Mercer, on the Gth ; and the Nautilus, 10, Lieut. Crooke, on the 14th.
