PRICE 7D. four Captains of the reduced companies of Royal Marine Artillery to command four of the additional companies of Royal Marines. Four First Lieutenants of Royal Marines to be promoted to the rank of Captain, and to command the remaining four additional com panies of Royal Marines. The subalterns of the four re duced companies of Royal Marine Artillery, and of which there are twice. as many as in' a similar number of com panies of Royal Marines, will be passed over to the eight additional companies of Royal Marines. This extra number of officers in the corps of Royal Marine Artillery, as compared with those in the corps of Royal Marines, is rendered necessary in consequence of the nature of the duty to which the former are liable, small detachments of ten, fifteen, or twenty. men, as the case may he, being re qtiired to embark on hoard the various ships which sail from this port. Nearly one hundred of the men of the Royal . Marine Artiflery,.who have been discharged from that corps, have entered during the week on board his Majesty's ship St. Vincent, to form part of the gunnel'a crew, where they will nn doubt prove a valuable acquisi tion in the management of the great guns. Colonel J. E. Jones, a Quarter-Master_Serjeant, and two bom bathers, of the Royal Artillery, arrived in. this Gar rison on Tuesday last, to receive such of the men of the Royal Marine Artillery as were willing to be transferred to the Royal Artillery. Forty-four of them have already entered into the latter corps. His Majes•y's ship Charybdis, which was launched en . Monday se'nnight in this Dock-yard, has been ordered to •be rut down within two feet of the dock, and-already have the workmen cosnmenced operations with this view. The vessel is, we understand, to have a different species of ar mament ; she is to carry guns, less in number and heavier, to fire over all. A Court-martial is ordered to assemble on Tuesday next at nine o'clock, a.m., on board his Alajesty's ship Wel lesley, Captain Samuel Campbell Rowley, of that ship, President, to inquire into the circumstances attending the loss of his Majesty's ship Thetis, at Cape Frio, on the night of Sunday the sth of December last, and to try Cap• tain Samuel Burgess for his conduct on the occasion. A particular account of the melancholy occurrence, which will form the ground of this Court-martial, will be found in our Paper of the 20th of February last. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have or dered a new class of steam-boats to be built at the eastern yards, measuring upwards of eight hundred tons. lids seems a very necessary measure of precaution, as we un derstand the French are building a class of steamers of this descriptiOn, which might render them very unpleasant neighbours, if we were not in a situation to compete with them fully and in all respects. The only means by which we can hope to retain that superiority which we have established in all parts of the world, with regard to our naval force, is by jealously watching the progress of our rivals in naval architecture, and in being prepared at all times to meet them on an equal footing with respect to the particular class of ships with which we may, sooner or later, be unfortunately compelled to engage. The steamers will, in all probability, come to this port to be fitted with boilers, &c. ; a new building of considerable extent and great convenience having been constructed in this Dock-yard for the manufacture of steam-boat fittings. The frame of a bomb vessel, which is in progress of building at Chatham, has been ordered to be taken to pieces and sold.. From this, we presume, it is intended to do away with this class of vessels altogether.. We should nut, indeed, be surprised to find that the new class of steam-boats, of large tonnage, which have been ordered to be built at Woolwich, &c. are intended . to supplant the bombs. An order having been given for his Majesty's ship Bel videra to be fitted with one of Lifut. Rodger's patent hollow-shanked anchors, an anchor of that description has been constructed at his Majesty's dock-yard at Woolwich, under the immediate superintendence of that gentleman, and sent to this port. The anchor is now on hoard the 13elvidera.. We. need scarcely remind our readers of the very successful experiments which were tried in this dock yard several months since, to anertain the comparative strength of Rodger's and Perring's aielors, when the former was proved the stronger of the two. An order has been issued by the Lords' Commissioners of the Admiralty, dated February 12, 1831, requiring all parties entitled to grants from the Compassionate Fund, to fill up the whole of the blanks, as to age, income, &c, pro perly and correctly, and which it appears has been hitherto very irregularly done. The order further directs, that all persons who have been continued on the list, on account of ill health, shall send, with their affidavits, medical cer tifi:•ates, attested by the Clergymen of their respective parishes, of their continued inability to earn their livelihood. BRITISH SHIPPING AND COLONIAL On Saturday the gentlemen connected with these interests dined together at Freemasons' Hall, Mr. Alderman - Thompson in the chair. Soon after six o'clock, upwards of 350 gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner. Amongst the distinguished individuals at the upper table were—the Marquis of Chandos, Sir Richard Vyvyan, Bart., Mr. Ward, M.P., Mr. Al derman Waldman, M.P., Mr. Attwood, M.P., Mr. Robinson, M.P., Mr. Capel, M.P., Mr. Bell, M.P., Mr, Matryatt, Mr. Irving, M.P., Colonel Fox, Mr. Justice Flalliburton, of Nova Scotia, &c. The first toast was " The King," marked with the warmest applause. The next was, " The Queen, the Princess Vic toria, and the rest of the Royal Family." This was followed by the" Navy and Army." Air, "Rule Britannia." The CHAIRMAN then rose to call the attention of the company to a toast that indeed had reference to the sentiments and feelings which brought them to• gether. They were assembled to maintain the " ships, colonies, and commerce" of England. He sincerely congratulated his countrymen generally upon the fixed determination which had that day been shewn to maintain those .important interests. It might, at first view s.iem, that any comment on or allusion to- politics would be out of place upon such an occasion as that, but he really could not pasi unnoticed the financial propositions of the Noble Lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Iu - his opinion, they could not fail to lead to the con fusion and destructiou of all interests connected with the colonial trade; at the same time he must be allowed to lay, that he did not take such a gloomy view of the finances of the country as some who deliTzQred their sentiments on the subject of the budget. However, it was no matter of surprise that gloomy anticipations should be enttsrtained when the Finance Minister of the Crown came forward with a proposition which he should designate as nothing le,s than a broach of faith with the public creditor. It was, indeed, no matter of surprise that apprehensions should be en tertained when a Minister of the Crown avowed, in practice at least, that he set no higher value upon the British Colonies than might find a sulitloicnt equivalent in a few hundred thousand pounds. The British Colonies had been fostqed and supported by men of the greatest kliegrity, and of the soundest political prin;.ipies, that had ever wlorned this or any Mr: Pitt, Mr. Perceval, and Lord Liver i p e io u l f r i t r rY t e TheyybYffelt encouraged %y o o u r r t a o nt i r t t 1 was A American r colon this county, in tho event of a war, to be rendered indes ptitlent of the Continent fcr a supply of naval stores.

It was thought by some that there existed nowhere in the country sufficient power to arrest the Government in their course, while it was his opinion that power enough was to be found in that room—(Great applause)— to art est that course by using a due and becoming activity in making those representations and those statements of facts which could not fail to open their eyes , to the real condition-of this most tnomen- NOTICE TO ARTISU. 7 LL Works offizinting, - Sculpture, or Ar chitecture,latentleaLior the ensuing EXHIBITION at the ROYAL ACAPENIY, must be sent in on Mop , T.• DAY, the 4th, or by Six o'clock in the Evening of TuF.s 7 oar, the sth of April :next, after - which tinie none can possibly be rec.eiveil: The Regulations necessary to be observed may be,oh tiined at the Royalietcademy. • - 'HENRY HONVAIiII, R.

B. GREENSHIELDS, Esq. Advocate, moved, and the motion was seconded by MILES ANC US FLETCHER, Esq., Advocate, let. That the plan of Reform lately introduced into Parliament by his Majesty's Ministers, entitles them to the gratitude of all those who are aware of the nature or value of constitutional privileges, and who sre friendly to the allaying of the discontent which has so long and so justly prevailed with regard to the state of the Represen tation,—it being a plan, which, while it confirms the rights of the people, strengthens those of eery other order in the State, and tends, in an especial manner, to secure the stability of the Throne, and the general tran quillity of. the Empire. TIIOMAS SAWERS, Esq. moved, and STEWART MACKEN ZIE, Esq. seconded the motion, 2d. That an Address be therefore presented to his Ma jesty, expressive of our gratitude for this wise and healing measure, and assuring his Majesty of our cordial attachment to his Majesty's person and Government, and of our determination to aid him and his Minis ters in this great w“rk, to the utmost of our power, not . - withstanding any attempts that may be made by others to shake or obstruct them ; and that this Address be signed by the Preses of this Meeting, and by a Committee, in our name ; and the Lord Chanreilor, Earl Grey, and Lord John Russell, be requested to present the same as soon as possible. Tuomas MAITLAND, Ebq , Advocate, moved, and JOHN WIGHAM, junior, Esti•, speonded the motion, _ . _ _ 3d. That the Meeting abstains from sending or taking charge of a General Petition to Parliament, by the In habitants at large, because it is doubtful if such a Petition can be forwarded in due time ; but they einnestly recom mend Petitions to bath Houses to be sent from all sepa rate bodies in whose proceeding, this difficulty does not occur ; and they implore the people of Scotland to re member that this is the only opportunity they have ever had of being admitted to a share in the Representation, and that their success or failure probably depends entirely on their own energy or their own apathy. ANDREW SRRNE, Esq., Advocate, moved, and the mo tion was seconded by WILLIAM GIBSON CRAIG, Esq., Advocate, 4th. That the Committee appointed at last Meeting be continued, for the purp-se of carrying these Resolutions into effect; and that the following be added to the num ber :.--Thomas Sewers, Esq. ; Thomas Maitland, Esq. ; Allies Angus Fletcher, Esq. ; Stewart Mackenzie, Esq. ; John Wigharn, jun.

On the evening of the 2d inst. she r Yrrders to sail immediately for this port, and on i the following morning she sailed accordingly. His- Ma- 1 jesty's ship Dispatch, Commander E. A. Frankland, was ordered away from Cork at the same time for this port. The Nautilus is fitted for Channel service, but we have not ascertained the immediate a t ject for which she has been ordered here.

The carpenter of the William and Mary yacht also died at Dublin, on Tuesday se'nnight. His Majesty's ship Windsor Castle, 76, Capt. Hon. D.P. Bouverie, Semiramis, 24, Captain M. F. F.

His Alajesty's ship Dispatch, 18, Commander E. A. Frankland, arrived on Tuesdayfrotsa Cork, whence she sailed on the 3d inst. having received orders on the previous day to sail immediately for this port. For the ships on that station, and the disposition of the Irish squadron, we refer to the account of the arrival of the Nautilus, from Dublin. His Majesty's ship Druid, 46, Capt. G. W. Hamilton, C.B. arrived on Sunday from Rio Janeiro, with the officers and crew of his Majesty's ship Thetis, who have since been transferred to the flag-ship, preparatory to the Court Martial, which has been ordered to assemble on Tuesday next on board the Wellesley, to inquire into the causes attending the loss of that ship off Cape Frio, South America. The Druid left Rio on the 16th of January, leaving there his Majesty's ship Warspite, 76, Captain C. Talbot (acting), Lightning, 18, Commander T. Dic kinson (b), Zephyr, 4., Lieutenant C.

The Druid arrived at Rio on the 19th of December from a cruise, with the Spanish slave schooner Destimida, with 48 slaves on board, to be adjudi cated. Preparations were making at Rio, by means of a diving bell, to endeavour to recover the specie lost in the Thetis, but owing to the very heavy heavy swell that set in, there were but slight hopes of saving any part of it.— Th e ship was gone to pieces, and his Majesty's ship Alge rine, 10, Commander W. H. Martin (acting), was at the wreck saving the store., &c. The Lightning was also ex pected at Cape Frio from Rio. The Emperor of Brazil had ordered the Minister of Financ e to nominate a com mission, composed of three members, to investigate and liquidate in that city the accounts of the legation at Lin don, the operations of which legation had ceased.

The West Indidinterest--an itl tere•t second to none in this country—had much reason to congratulate itself upon the possession of such a Chairman—upon the possession of so ab'e an advocate in the House of Commons. But he was not only the advocate of the West Indian.; but of the shipowners; for the interests of both those hodics were intimately united. He was sure they.. would receive the health of the Noble Lord _with _ acclamations. Tl.e Marquis of CHANDOS returned thanks.. He felt assured of this as of a Poiition.demonstratiag that the interests of the colonieslmust be maintained; . as the mere distress gathered around them, and the more gloomy their prospects became, the more se dulously should he devote himself to the mairite nanceof their just-rights.—(Applause.). He begged, . in conclusion, to thank-them for the handsome ana-:- ner in which they had pleased ,to receive the men tion of hiS name, alsurng them that whether in. his . private capacity as .an - English country gentleman,- or the more responsible situation of a representative ; of the people, he should be found, to do his day as an Englishm an , a n d: urge t h e p ro t ec ti on o f t h e true interests of the eolonies. Alter a song from Mr.- T.y:or,..the Noble Mar. . quis again rose to propose the health of the man, whose public and private conduct. he. eulogised in warm terms—drunk with all the honouri.• The' CHAIMAN . briefly - retuined; thank g. Mr.- ATTIVOOD proposeck Prosperity to per North American colonies.!' . 'Mr. Justice HALLIBukTeN (of Nova.S:.•otia) re turned thanks on behalf of tho colony to *bieliAre - . - belong, d, .derlying:that , eny -danger existed of the British colonies separating themselves froM the tnc,, ther - country, so long-as the latt er treated them--L -not to say with kindness or indulgence, but with justice. Mr. WARD proposed, as a toast, " Prosperity to the colony of the Cape of 'Good Hope." It was well known that the county of Londonderry in Ire land; was a.colony from this country; and 'he here would take occasion to say, that the supporters 'of the present proceedings against the colonies might not inaptly be called the anti-unionists of.colonial • The CHAIRMAN . would venture to depart so far from the programme placed in his hands, as, after having proposed many interests, to propose " The iotetests of the ladies of England."—(Cheers.) Air—" Here's a health to all good lasses." Mr. KEITH DOUGLAS then got up to propose, The Shipping Interests of Great Britain." He felt assured that nothing but want of activity on the part of the persons composing that interest could lead to its ultimate injury. Mr. G. F. YOUNG having been selected by the Committee to return thanks upon that occasion, could not refrain from expressing the feelings which such a scene as that he then witnessed excited in his breast. Adopting from a Noble Lord the nervous lankuage used by him, he would say, that notwith standing all the vici.s!udes and all the depression to which the shipping interests were exposed, and all 'heart§ itvhe connectedhosst:ire,,iri cheek e rgs e i kvii t ,ta ly h l i e ln had them ve:: üb:dg blanche], e no r ehb o eu n dd e there w ~ ilt:dve,r,: heeroe tdespaired,hose had never onailed.—(Applatise.)—Theref • Was - no man in the country with a British heart within him, who would not exult at wi:ntSsing the meeting. of that day. Mr. BELL regretted that the toast of "Prosperity to the greatest City in the world" had not beets placed in abler hands; but there was no man living to whom he would yield in admiration of its great ness, or esteen for the worth of its inhabitants. It was a metropolis which, on ail occasions, set an ex-' ample of loyal attachment to the Monarch; and of liberal support to the free institutions of Great Brita;n. He concluded by proposing " Prosperity - to the City and Trade thereof." • Mr. Alderman WAtrintAN returned thanks. He lamented the prevalence of new and unsound doe trines in Parliament, while he fully and sincerely concurred in almost every sentiment which had that evening been expressed on ~the subject of colonial • policy, and on - the important- concerns . of the great body of the shipowners. Mr. IRVING said, that the Chairman had given " The Ladies of England." He was commanded to give no less a personage than the Old Lady of Threadneedle-street --(A laugh.) He had to give " The Governor and Company of the rank of England." It was one of those instittoions by which, in periods of great adversity, this country was enabled to resist foreign enemies and domestic treachery. They had all gone through their periods of difficu!ty, and where did they seek relief except from that establishment and from kindred - institu tions ? He regretted to think that unsound prin ciples had found their way into high places, but where, he trusted, they would not long be able to maintain themselves. The toast was then drunk with much applause. Mr. WARD said, as neither the Governor nor Deputy Governor were present, it became his duty to return thanks on behalf of that most interesting old lady.—(A laugh.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The health of Sir Richard Vyvyan and the other Members of Par liament who had honoured the company with their presence that day." Sir RICHARD VYVYAN, in returning thanks, ad verted to the political principles arid conduct of the present Administration, censuring the character of the financial measures of the Government, and pro nouncing a decided censure upon the late budget. lie pledged himself to support the colonial and ship_ ping interest, strongly urging those whom he had the honour of addressing to hold together, and not allow themselves to be divided into parties and seduced into hostility by offers of apparent advantage to one portion at the expellee of another.—(Great ap plause.) —Of this they might rest assured, that they would only re-establish their own body upon the footing on which alone it ought. to stand, by ad hering to the ancient principles of the Constitution. Other toasts were subsequently given, and the festivity of the meeting was confirmed to a late hour. The gallery was filled with ladies. An inquest was held on Saturday, before Mr. BAKER, at the Black Horse and Ship, Shadwell upon the body of BARBARA MARTIN and her male child: late residing at 106, High-street, Shadwell. The de cea.ed being taken in labour on Saturday week last, a :aidwife, named Mrs. STEELK, was sent for. She. on arriving, found that the situation of the poor woman was such as required more ability than she possessed. Mr. JACKSON, a surgeon, was accordingly sent fur ; but he, although the deceased was then suffering great pain, re.. fused to act unless he first received one guinea as his fee. The midwife, by consent of the deceased, who was very poor, then sent to her landlord to borrow the money, and Mr. JAcasoN said that he would go away for a short time, and then return. The money was sent for, but be fore Mr. JACKSON came back, Mr. BYRNE, anotrer Medi cal man, came in and attended to the deceased as well as he was able. Mr. JACKSON was subsequently made ac quainted with this circumstance, and M r . BYRNE con tinued with the deceased great part of the day.
