ATROcious' ifuntit ANIS VIOLATIM Thi ne particulars of this revolting deed are briefly as follow :—Mr. John Heath, a respectable farmer, of Harbury Field, in consequence of the celebration of a christening in his family on the Tuesday preced ing, gave his servants an entertainment in his house on Saturday last. Among others who were in vited on this festive occasion, was Mary Lane, alias Greenaway, the deceased, a young married vromao of considerable personal attractions, who, about a year ago, lived in the family in the capacity of wet nurse. A labourer of the name of William Miller, th in e Mr. Heath's empl o y , was also present. During evening, he told the deceased he would see her home, to which proposal she made no answer; but a female servant, overhearing what he said, replied, No, she's not going home to-night." Here the conversation dropped, and, shortly after, Miller left the room, and accompanied the waggoners into the stable. They had not been long there before two females came out of the house. Miller asked who they were; and, one of the Waggoners telling him it was the servant girls belonging to the house, he said—" No ! its old Mother Lane, and I'll be d—d if I don't go home with her to night." The two females he:ving separated, one returned into the house, a".ad the other, (which as Miller rightly con jectty:ed, was the deceased,) left the premises, and vve,:nt in the direction of Bishop's Itchington, where the resided. Soon after this. Miller ran out of the stable, and taking a short cut across the ileitis, was seen to overtake the deceased Pear a gate in the Windmill Field, not snore than a quarter of a mile distant from Mr. Heath's house. The deceased was never seen alive after this time; which was between seven und eight o'clock in the evening. The next morning, about eight o'clock, as two brothers, of the name of Pratt, were walking on Harbury Heath, they saw a pair of patens lying near the edge of a pit. Not finding any one there, and suspecting that was not right, they returned to the pit ; where they saw an umbrella. O n look ing more minutely they observed something black :floating on the surface of the .water, which, by means of a stick, they drew to the edge of the pit; when, horrible to relate, they found it to be the body of a female dressed ;:a mourning. The face was so much swollen that they did not immediately I recognize it, but, on examining a portion of her clothes, they discovered it was the deceased, Mary Lane. Messrs. Pratt then hastened to Harbury, and the Parish Offiera instantly repaired to the spot, and had the body taken to the New Inn. Among other Person:, Called upon b y the Headborough to assist in 'removing the deceased from the fatal spot, was 7-91iller ; who, in executing his part of the melancholy office, betrayed not the least symptoms either of sor row or of guilt. By the time the body was brought to f-the public-house, a knowledge of the event had speettii-through the village, and a suspicion falling on Miller,,he:was immediately on his return taken into custody. Next morning (Monday) an Inquest was held be fore George Cattell Greenway, Esq. Coroner, when a number of 'witnesses were examined ; from whom were elicited the following circumstances materially affectin g the prisoner . : —M r . Hi ron, surgeon, of WPrwrek, was called in, with Mr. Morgan, a medical 4entletnan residing in the village, to examine the body. There were no external marks of injury on it ; but other marks were discovered, of a'description that delicacy forbids us to mention, fully proving the nanal violence with which she must recently have )een attacked. Other witnesses spoke to her hay lig money in her possession when she left Mr. Heath's house on the night of the murder; and that lone was found about her the next morning when xtricated from the pit. When the body was dis nvered, several marks of a man's shoe were visible pear the pit and in various other parts adjoining, on being compared with the prisoner's shoe, erlee!Aliitorresponded both as to size and general ppe'aranee. A piece of the clayey soil, extracted c:0;12 the edge of the pit, and more deeply impressed vith the-footmark than any other, was' produced to he jury. On minutely examining it, it evidently ppared to have been made by a man's shoe, that in he heel pert had a naillying slantways in a peculiar irection. On examining theheel of the prisoner's rilio4 appeared that two nails were missing, buthetWeen lel:toles-another nail different from the rest had been nskilfully driven in, which caused it to take a slant directspeantrices. corresponding with the opressioterminabe clay with the greatest exactness. bout a couple of /aids from the pit is a dry ditch, here there weri'marki as - of - two persons having b sea struggling; and _close to thi s ' spot, t h e pri n t of person's knee. The prisOner's small-clothes, made F narrow ribbed corduroy, were compared with the apression on the ground, and they precisely cor isponded. There was no foot-mark of a woman sservable on the edge of the . pit; but the impres on of a female arm was distinctly seen near the rink, with an indention at the extremity of the ark as if made by the nails of a person endeavour gto grasp the soil. The clothes which the pri mer had worn on the night of the murder, were and the next morning immersed in a tub of water, r which Ins assigned no satisfactory reason. The avant girl who went, out of the house with the !ceased, expressed a hope to her before they parted at Miller would not attempt to go home with her. was stated by a fellow -servant, that Miller, when set off to follow the deceased, was not in liquor. The Inquest, which (with the exception of a ott interval) sat from ten o'clock on Monday. arning to between seven and eight o'clock at Olt, was adjourned to Tuesday morning, when the iry returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against rilliam Miller." We have since heard that the prisoner denies .ving committed the murder ; but admits a eri nal intercourse with her, but by her own consent. he deceased was about 26 years of age, and was trried at Christmas last. Her former husband, a In of the name of Lane (who, by Borne, it is ought, is still living) ran away from her about wen years ago; and being since pregnant by reenway, she was induced to marry him. Previous that event, she bore a most excellent character. The prisoner, who is about 40 years of age, and native of Harbmry, up to the period of this trans tion, was always considered a very honest and in strious man.— Warwick Advertiser. An advertisement in our present Paper is 'ongly illustrative of the moral benefits of the rangues made by the friends of social order at e Pitt Clubs. It appears, that on Monday ;rlit last, three gentlemen of this fraternity con cted themselves in so riotous and outrageous nanner as to create the most serious alarm to e inhabitants of the Wellington-road, and to danger the life of a lady and her infant ughter. The watchman, in the discharge of duty, apprehended two of the party, and con yed them to the watch-house, when they as tried fictitious names, and in that way obtain their liberation. One of these worthy Pittites [led himself Mr. William Richardson, Wel gton-road ; and the other, Mr. John Patter n, of Kirkgate. A reward is offered for their 3 covery.—Leeds Mercury. Williams, who made his escape from Clerken u, was on Saturday tried at the Old Bailey upon two Itges of felony, upon both of which he was found guilty. Another indictment has been preferred against ,ylor and his associates of the Christian Evidence Society. was returned " a true bill" by the London Grand Jury, the Old Bailey, en Saturday. Unless it should be re ed by certiorari into the Court of King's Bench (as former one was), the trial will probably come on at the esant Old salleysessions. Taylor, at the conclusion of delivery of his usual quantity of trash, yesterday, at the P ttr ? alluded to the " approaching conflict," and w. in the event of his being imprisoned, other per as ho were hu ' betters," would be engaged to fill his ace at the Areopagne, it being determined to carry on e P r oceedings there.

The Isis sailed from Port Royal, in company with the Barham and Druid, on the 2lst of April, and the Havannah on the 3d of May. Admiral Fleming was left at the Haven nah ; the Druid was going to Porto Rico. The three ships tried their rate of sailing; the Barham (razeed 74) answers well; but both ships were beat by the Druid. • On Thursday arrived the Niemen, 28, Captain Simeon, from Bermuda, which place she left on the 13th of May. On Wednesday evening arrived the Oynx, trans port Lieut. Decourdeaux, agent, in sixty days from Rio de Janeiro, with invalids from the squadron.

Last week's arrivals of all kinds of Grain were mode rate, owing chiefly to the boisterous and contrary state of the wind. This morning the fresh supplies are again scanty. In consequence of the additional clause. in the Corn Bill, Wheat has advanced this morning Ss. per qr.: and there is much talk about raising the price of Flour, but this is not yet fully determined upon. Barley con tinues very scarce, and the prices quoted may be consider ed as nominal. Beans and Pease remain much the same as last quoted. There is a fair demand for Oats, but not near equal to the quantity for sale : the prices of last week are maintained for this article, yet sales are made only in small quantities either to necessitous town or country buyers.

On Friday the 25th ult. au occurrence took place in Basingstoke, quite unparalleled at that place, occasioned by the launch of a newly constructed fly-boat, built by Mr. Birnie, for the purpose of facilitating the trade between London and the South-west of England, by a great in crease of speed and . safety. About eleven o'clock, the 'company began to assemble on the Wharf, to witness the 'uncommon scene of a launch at Basingstoke;• and, by a little befere twelve, the concourse was immense. Benches were raised for the parties especially invited, and the view :of the company was extremely brilliant. Signal guns were fixed to prepare the populace fi,r the approaching event; and, at twelve o'clock precisely, the fly-boat took the water in very superior style, accompanied by music, which was almost drowned amid the applause of the spec tators. About 150. of the company then embarked, and proceeded in the beat a few miles down the Canal. Due n g the absence of the party, a most excellent dinner was ierved up, under the management of Mr. King, of the Crown Inn, in the identical place where the boat had been built, to which upwards of one hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down. - We cannot refrain from olwrring, that the boat thus launched is one of the most perfect we have ever seen, owing to the strength of its materials, and the excellence of her workmanship. Her speed is more than double that of the other craft plying on the Bazingstoke Canal, and, with all these advantages, her general appearance is extremely elegant. The Harriet arrived in London on Wednesday the 30th inst., at noon, having occupied only 29q hours in the passage. _ • About 60 mechanics, bargemen, and labourers, sat down to supper in the builder's yard, and the night was spent with the utmost hilarity...-Rants Chronicle. NEW CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL IN BALLINA. LAYING or mr FIRST STODIE...-TbUlPally week this solemn and interesting ceremony was performed by the Catholic Archbishop of 'foam, assisted by the Bishops of Elphin and Mv.ronia, and the Clergy of their Diocese, in the presence of an immense concourse of spectators. The Cathedral is of the Monastic Gothic Order, with a tower and steeple, 170 feet high, chastely ornamented. The body of the Cathedral is 130 feet long by 60, with transepts 110 feet by 40 feet in the clear. The interior to be finished in the same order PO the exterior.—Free man's Journal. DEVONPORT COLUMN.---On Saturday even ing the capital of this column was completed, the last stone of that part of the building having been raised and laid in its place amidst the ac clamations of an immense concourse of people. When the stone. was ready for hoisting, four of the workmen seated themselves upon it, and were carried to the top to the great wonder and delight of. the assembled multitude. The Devonpott Amateur Band was in attendance, and played sevei-al enlivening airs. When the stone was laid, the Royal Standard of England was hoisted upon it, and three hearty cheers were given by the spectators.--Plymouth Joio, A noted speculator about 'Change, who has identified himself with several transactions of a very ques tionable nature, intending to influence the market for South American Stock, has suddenly quitted England for the United States. In his previous exploits be has always possessed discretion enough to bring his character only, and not his person into danger ; hut it came latterly to the knowledge of one of the members of a most respectable fa mily with whom he is connected by marriage, that a bill of very considerable amount had been negociated by him, and was in the hands of a third party, which bill there was every reason to suppose was a forgery, though it was not perfectly clear that such forgery had been committed by him. Anxious to avert the disgrace that must have fallen on the family, had such a crime been proved and followed by its legal consequences, one of the brokers sought out the possessor of the bill, and having paid the amount, though it had not arrived at maturity, the holder consented to de liver it up, and it was destroyed. It was insisted on, how ever, that the supposed culprit should quit England imme diately, to which he consented, and has fixed oa the United States as the place of his exile.— Times. Professor Schilling, of Breslau, has invented an instrument, by the aid of which plants can be copied most correctly from nature, oven those which are so small as to be examined by naturalists through the micros cope. This instrument is similar in its construction to a magic lantern ; and by the means of an attached mirror, the image of the magnified object is thrown upon a hori zontal paper surface, where it admits of being copied easy and accurately.

FISH-MARKET, BILLINGSGATE. - - The arrivals of Fish since our last quotations have been but moderate, and the market this morning exhibited but a short supply.—Mackerel were the only . fish of which there was a fair show, but the prices were generally high-- prime large, 64e. por hundred ; do. good sized and small, Bs. to 10s. below that-pricev_Salmon, is. ed. to Is. 9d. per lb. ; large Turbots, 20s. to 245. each ; others sold at various prices, according to the size of the fish ; choice red Mullets, 20s. to 261. per dozen ; large Whitings, of su perior quality, 10s. per basket, containing fifteen ; live Eels, Sc. 6d. per five lb. or 12s. per draught ; Lobsters, Bs. to 16s. per score ; Prawns, Ss. to 4s. per.lb. ; Shrimps, 2s. tld.per gall. The prices of Newcastle pickled Salmon continue high, it sells from 48e. to 50s. per kit, in kits and half kits—.the latter are of a very desirable size for REVIVAL OF TRADE.—Our Blackburn cor respondent, under date of Wednesday last, says, —" The wages of calico-weavers were again ad vanced 3d. per piece this week in Blackburn. This is the third advance in a month, of 3d. each time ; by these advances the weavers in the Blackburn district will receive an addition of about 1,5001. per week. The total advance is about 30 per cent. on the greater part of the calico goods made by the Blackburn manufac turers. The weavers are nearly all in full work again ; twelve months ago only about one in five waa in full work. As a proof that the condition of-the poor is improved, it may be mentioned, that the poor rates, which were 2s. in the pound for the quarter ending at Christmas, are, for th• present quarter, reduced to is. in the pound. This is a most providential change. Last year at this time their prospects were most gloomy, without an apparent chance of the hand-loom weavers being ever again in full work."-.-Leeds Mercury. PROVISION TRADE.--In our obser vationr under this head on the 17th current, we stated that an interview had taken place a few days previously, between the President of the Board of Trade and some of the Irish Members, accompanied by Mr. Dan Callaghan and other leading merchants engaged in the provision trade; and that Mr. Huskisson had satisfied those gentlemen of his willingness to afford every consistent and fair protec tion against foreign competition. We concluded by ex pressing a hope, that we might soon have it in our prover to state a satisfactory result from this negociation. We have now the gratification to announce,' that on Thursday last, that very active guardian of Irish interests, Mr. Spring Rice, waited on. Mr. Huskisson, and found he had adopted the suggestion .offered to him by the deputation on the 12th current. A Bill will forthwith be brought into Parlia ment, imposing a fixed duty by weight on all foreign pro visions imported, of Ms. per cwt. ; and when the neces sary calculations shall he corrected and verified, we trust it will be found that the very equitable add limited wishes of the trade will be aecomplished.—Cork Southern Reporter. LIVERPOOL.—The following is the reported distribution of the late Thomas Leyland, Esq.'s, property : 200,000/. to his widow ; 800,0001. to his nephew, Richard Baffin, Esq. ; 800,000/. to hip nephew, Christopher Bailin, Esq. ; 1,0001. per annum to his niece, Mrs. Naylor, stow Mrs. Ware, but formerly Mies Bailin ; 500,000/. to her eldest son, now at school, 12 yeare of age, and to take the name of Leyland; 10,000/. to each of his brothers and sisters; 10,0001. to the public charities of this place ; and minor legacies. A curious occurrence took place at New Shoreham a few days since. A young couple attended the church for the purpose of being married, and the ceremony being concluded, the bridegroom discovered that it was not yet eight o'clUck, and fastidiously insisted on the service being re-performed, with which requedt the clergyman, to ease the scruples of the conscientious gentleman, at length complied.—Brighton Herald.

There are two ways of becoming important— the one by being useful, the second by being troublesome, and interfering with the plans of others. The dog in the manger may be said to possess this latter spurious species of importance, . but it is hardly worthy the dignity of the House of Peers to seek it from a similar source. Yet so it is, for the two objects of greatest national importance in the eyes of our ablest statesmen, the Catholic Question and the Corn Bill, fail of success from their Lordships' exercise of a negative influence. Whether justly or unjustly, the Commons have long arrogated to themselves the exclusive privilege of originating money bills, and it is one which we should not blame the Peers for endeavouring to recover, if it were possible. But if the loss of this privilege, and some other circumstances, render the debates in the House of Commons, in general, more interesting to the Nation, Noble Lords should look on this as but a slight coun terpoise to their splendid lot, and should not sacrifice the nation's good to a pitiful jealousy. No doubt they may derive some consolation from the applause of old women, and some as sagacious males, who look upon them as saviours of the nation, by opposing the other House in their unconstitutional liberality ; but if the opinions of any one of these creatures are of little value, they are not a great deal more pre cious in the aggregate. With regard to the Corn Bill now before the House, we are sure that their throwing it out would be subject of deep regret to all whom mistaken views of private interest do not mislead. Are their Lordships aware that estates cannot be sold, that farms cannot be let, and, in short, that the Agricul tural Interests are at a stand-still, whilst the Corn Bill remains in its present state. There are in fact no Corn Laws to direct people in their estimate of landed property, and do they really wish this state of things to continue ? Had they not better pass this Corn Bill, the principle of which they have already approved by a large majority, and which the friends -of the late Cabinet can 'hardly oppose with any regard to decency? and if any.part of it does not work well, it can be remedied nett year. But we fear that we have been very idle in thus appealing to the generosity and patriotism of the new Opposition. We trust, however, that force will constrain them to act properly, and that the friends of Government will muster strong enough (for they can if they choose, as proved by the first majority) and throw out this mis-named amend ment of his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON'S, when reported to the House 6f Lords by their Committee. In either case, 4116: country must appreciate the pure motives of the Ultras (out of the House, of course), as their opposition to the Corn Bill is plain downright 'selfishness, or regard for their own rents; and it is fair enough to draw a similar inference as to the mo tives of the same men, in opposing the granting of civil rights to one-third of their countrymen. The French Papers of Friday, with the Etolle dated Saturday, have been received, but their contents are chiefly taken up with the discussion on the Budget, which has • been adopted by a large majority. M. LAFITTE proposed an amendment, with a view of introducing more regularity and simplicity into the financial sys- ten], but there were only sixty-nine members to support him against two hundred and My four. These papers contain further accounts of the progress of the Constitutionalists in several parts of Spain, particularly Arragon and Andalusia, where predatory bands muster in great force, to the annoyance of FERDINAND and the legiti mate terror of the Priests. It is utterly impos sible that things can continue long in their pre sent state of anarchy in that unhappy country— and the people have one consolation, that what ever change takes place their eumihion cannot be worse—not so with their rulers, for in the very prospect of a change they see the scourge of retribution. The followings are some extracts (From the Etoile dated Saturday, Julie 2.) PARIS, JUNE 1. IXTRACT OP A LETTER. FROM LYONS, DATED MAY t 7. " I arrived at Lyons a few days ago, and have bad the satisfaction to find the silk manufactories much more busy than they have been for a long time past : all the good workmen were employed, and there is reason to hope that thii state of things will continue. A great number of new buildings, which were begun and discontinued, are now going to be finished : in short, the present situation of the affairs of this great city, allows us to give a triumphant answer to the perpetual detractors of the Administration, who continually give such a gloomy and incorrect picture of our commerce.' " Her Majesty the Queen Dowager of Wurtembcrg was to embark on the let of June at Mentz, on board the Frederick William steam-boat, and to arrive on the std at Rotterdam, where an English steam-boat would be ready to receive tier. 7 AnAx.runz, MAY 21.—The weather is still cold and rainy, though the sus sometimes appears pretty power ful. In the night of. the 12th the vines were frozen in a 'great part of La Mancha, which caused a great advance in the price of wine. Onis, formerly Minister of Spain to the United States, and Ambassador.. of Naples, under the Candi. tutional Geverme,nt, has just died at Madrid, where h e btit lately obtained permission to reside again. ‘, Several robbers haVe - been lately executed at Madrid, for the robberies nominated with the aid of fire-arms in the environs of the capital, and some for having not only employed fire-arms in their depredations, but for having resisted the Royalist Volunteers of Villa Nueva de la Canada. " The official part of the 211oniteur of Friday contains a Royal Ordinance, commanding the publication of a convention between France and Bavaria, for the reciprocal giving up of deserters. (From the Pilote of Friday.) " PARIS, MAY 31.—A report was current at Corfu o❑ the 15th of May, that Karaiskaki had gained a victory over the Seraskier, and that the Tnrks lost 1,750 dead on the field of battle. " A letter from Vienna, of the 21st May, says—' After a conference between Pri:ice Metternich and the Portu guese Ambassador, the latter, it is said, cent important despatches to Lisbon.' A letter from Pera says that the negotiations respect ing Greece are not expected to be successful. The Aus trian Cabinet, it is said, has sent a note to the Russian Government, and the answer will determine the measures to bo taken by the two Courts on the refusal of the Porte. It is net doubted here that the obstinacy of the Sultan will induce Russia to snake a hostile demonstration on the Da• tube and the Pruth, and that Austria will station a corps of obser►ation along the frontiers of Servia, and of some of the adjoining Patchlike. Lastly, it is said, that the Rue-. sian Black Sea fleet, stationed at Sebastopol, has received orders to be ready to put to sea." (From the Constitutionnel.) PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. _ _ MADRID, MAY 21.---The Constitutional band which showed itself in Lower At mgon was the forerunner of three others that afterwards appeared upon several points of the same province. The fears of the Government in respect to Andalusia appear to be very great also, for they talk of re-establishing military commissions in that province as well as in Arragon, and the reports of the Captain-General Campana, who commands at Grenada, are very unsatisfac tory, as he announces that the Constitutional spirit is ready to manifest itself in that province with More vio lence than before the revolution of Las-Cabezas. On their side the Carlists are not inactive; a fresh band of them has spread itself over Lampourdan, and its appear ance was preceded by a kind of manifesto, addressed to the Catalans, in which they are informed that the head and the 'bombers (such are the expressions of the manifesto) of the existing government could go no further. This document, two copies of which have reached the police, terminates with this phrase " Catalanes, adelante, adelante, haste establecer aro." " Catalans—forward, forward, until we establish another." (From the Journal des D.bats.) MAnntn, MAY 21,—(PatvaTF. CORRFSPONDENCE.)— SOILIe Constitutional bands have ahewn themselves in Arra gon as early as the commencement of this month.— They are foilr in number, but instead of bei;g put down at once, as all those of a similar kind before, they appear to gather strength, to find a support in the people, and hut little opposition on the part of the Royalist Volunteers. The couriers dispatched by General Bassecour, General Commandant of Saragossa, have been very fre quent during the last eight days, and the cause is attri buted to the constitutional bands. The Minister of Finance, in the absolute distress in which our treasury is at pre sent, has had recourse to some mercantile houses, who have advanced to hint a few millions (francs) upon the revenues of the third quarter of this year; but this resource may extricate us from embarrassment for a few days, without at all remedying the public misery, which is so great, that in the markets of Castile the 'inept of barley (about 70 lbs.) is sold at 30 cuartoa. A Journal, printed it Cadir, under the title of " The Commerce of the Two Worlds," mentions a letter from Manila, of the sth November, in which it is said that the Goucinangos (the indigenes of New Spain) are mak ing every effort to excite a revolution at, Manila. The same paper speaks of this event in such a way as to induce fears with respect to the spirit of the troops that form the garrison of Manilla.

Under the head of Augsburg it is said that the Trieste Observer contains the fol- lowing extract of a letter from Corfu, dated April 28:— AUGSSURGH t APRIL 2'7. " The Greek brig Neptune, Capt. J. C. Bolisano, which left Egina on the. 14th, and Poro on the 15th April, anchored in our roads the day before yesterday. At first it was reported that it was a merchant vessel, which was come to take in a cargo of mass, but our boards of health soon discovered that it was a man of war, and that the papers were signed by tbe , (soi disant) Greek Govern ment, and also by Lord Cochrane, as Commander-in-Chief of the Greek Navy. In conformity with the system of neutrality which has been adopted here, the Government thought fit to intimate to Captain Bolisano, that he was tli leave the roads, which he accordingly did yesterday afternoon. By this brig we have received the following accounts :—These contain nothing new, relating only to the union of the two assemblies, the appointment of Count Capo d'lstria to the Presidency, and of Lord Cochrane and Gene ral Church to the command of the fleet and navy. A Captain who arrived at Trieste on the 12th, and had left Zante eight days before, reports that he was told there, that thirty Egyptian transports, laden with pro visions and aramunition had arrived:at Modon, from Alex andria. VIENNA, MAY 23.—Metalliquee, 90i ; Bank Shares, 086. COLOOKI, MAY 27. The beautiful steam-boat, the Frederich William, ar rived here to-day at one o'clock ;it was welcomed by a salute of artillery, aad the band of the 28th Regiment. The crowd collected on the quays could not sufficiently admire the beauty of this colossal vessel, which is 150 feet in length, and the rapidity of its progress up the river. It has on the prow the bust of our revered Monarch, richly gilt, and the arms of Prussia on the naves of the wheels. The internal arrangements of this vessel surpass in elegance and convenience every thing of the kind that we have hitherto seen. Jamaica and Barbadoes Papers to the 29th April, have been received at the North and South American Coffee House, but their contents are unimportant; from the former we observe that a Committee of the Common Council, appointed by that body to deliver their address of congratula riots to Major-Gen. Sir Jon/4 KEAN, K.C.8., on his safe arrival, had waited upon his Excellency on the 25th at Head-quarters; and presented the same to him. To which his Excellency returned a reply expressive of the satisfaction with which he received their address, tnairkui ls th— far th. h.ndsome man ner they had welcomed his return to Ja maica, and of his ardent desire to promote whatever could tend to benefit the Colony ; and that they would find him disposed to con cur in any measure calculated so forward the in terests and insure the p ro sperity of the city of Kingston and of the island in general. The Goldfinch packet was appointed to sail from the island on the Bth May. The Barbadoes Mer cury notices the receipt of a Grenada Paper of the 7th April, and that a very heavy fall of rain had been experienced on that day, accompanied with high winds from the north-west, which commenced about half_past nine o'clock, and continued two hours. Considerable damage is stated to be done in weld of the out parishes, by loss of cattle and o ther stock. GnEENwww.--Independently of th'e crowds usually assembled to enjoy the attractions o f Greenwich Fair on Whit-Monday, a large contou rs ® collected there at an early hour this moiling, to witness the disembarkation of her Majesty the Queen of WunTOP BURG, who was expected to arrive in the courso of the day. Among the illustrious personage who are in readiness to receive her MAJESTY , we observed the Duke of CLARERCE. At three o'clock, when our Reporter left Greenwich, her MAJESTY had not arrived, not was it supposed that the tide would admit of the yachts coming up the River until a late hour this evening.
