She was already half tipsy, and in a short time succeeded to the utmost of her wishes. The day following, Captain King and his party visited the Patagonian encampment, about three miles from the beach, where they saw a curious tomb, which bad been erected - over the remains of the lately deceased child. On their return to the beach, they witnessed a very interesting re ligious ceremony, which bore a considerable analogy to some of the forniS of the Roman Catholic Church, and proved that missionary zeal had reachedAiren' to this distant extremity of the New World. It was the expoture of their deity, which they called their " Christo." Pt repre sented the figure of a dead person rudely carved in wood, but not without some ingenuity and tolerable execution. The face only . was visible. Previous to ite being exhibited, and preparatory to the un rolling of the skins which enveloped it, manyin teresting and curious forms were gone through,in asmuch as they seem to be the first dawning of the Christian religion amongst this uncivilized race. Maria, after descanting at some length upon the virtues of the person whose image was represent ed by the figure, concluded the ceremony by in forming Capt. King, with much gravity and con siderable emphasis" 111 i Christo Irene bueno corazon ; mi Christo macho quiere tobacco, day me mas ? . Mucho qziiere - mi Christ() tobacco, dar nil mas 9"—(My Christ possesses a very good heart ; my Christ is very fond of tobacco ; won't you give him some ?' Do give him some, for he is very fond Of the - 150 Patagonians who were seen at Gregory Bay, about half were men. Few of these exceeded the height of six feet, and only one was found to measure six feet one inch and three quarters. The generality were of immense bulk, particularly one of noble and commanding aspect, who, Wrapped in his mantle, bore a most dignified appearance. Captain Stokes measured the circumference of his chest, which was of a very large size (4 feet 1 k inches). This mea— surement confirmed the opinion previously form ed of the want of symmetry in their persons, and of the great disproportion of their head and body to their arms and legs. The hands and feet of the Patagonians are remarkably small, but the size of the head and body of the greater number is sufficient for men. of seven or eight feet high. The stirrups of all the saddles that Capt. King and his party used (and there were few horses that were not mounted by the sailors) were, almost without a single exception, too short for them ; and as this did not appear to be the case with the Indians when mounted, the fact is con firmatory of the disproportionate length of the legs of the Patagonians, according to our ideas of the proper symmetry of the human frame. The account•of the Pampa Indians, as given by Don Felix de Azara,, applied, with a few trifling exceptions, so nearly to the inhabitants of Southern Patagonia, that there can be but little doubt of their being : nearly connected, and a constant communication being kept up between them.

On Tuesday last, at Newbury, a writ of inquiry took place before John Roberts, Esq., the Deputy Sheriff for the county of Berks, assisted by Mr. Bicheno as:his' assessor, in which Captain Hall, of Reading,. was plaintiff, and Mr: Blandy and Mr. Drysdale, of the same town, proprietors of a news paper called the Berkshire Chronicle, were the de fendants. . _ A Detachment belonging to the 3Sth Regiment of In fantry, arrived in town, yesterday from Leeds, on route to Canterbury. A Detachment belonging to the 40th Regiment of Foot, arrived in town, yesterday, from Leeds, on route to Chatham. (From the Literary Gazette.) A private letter from Monte Video, dated the 12th of May last, contains an account of the return of the Adventure and Beagle, from the Straits of Magellan, under instructions from the English Government. These vessels sailed from Monte Video about the middle of November, and, after encountering very severe weather, reached the Straits of Magellan on the 23d of December. They anchored in Port Famine early in January, where the Adventure, Captain King, remained until the first week of April, employed in the examination of the eastern side of the Strait ; while the Beagle, under the orders of Captain Stokes, proceeded to survey the western entrance, from which she returned early in March. A Detachment be l ong i ng to the 115th Regiment of In fantry, marched this morning, from Westminster, for Al bany Barracks. A Detachment belonging to the 70th Re.iment of Foot, marched this morning, from Westminster, for Portsmouth, on route to Guernsey. The action was fora libel upon the plaintiff's cha racter, in a paragraph and pretended advertisement in the. defendants' newspaper. The former imputed to him. the appropriation of a sovereign given by a gentleman who sustained an injury by the upsetting of a stage-coach in the town of Reading, to the poor of the parish, instead of the individual who had in person rendered. assistance in the streets ; and the latter contained some libellous reference to the part which Captain Hall had taken in some proceeding s connected with the last election for the borough.—A jury were merely summoned to assess the damages. Mr. TALFOURD, in stating the plaintiff "s case, animadverted with great severity upon the nature of these libels, which he declared to be pure inven tions, and absolutely destitute of foundation; .as' well as upon the infaMous character of the defendants' newspaper. The usual proof of publication was given, and Mr. C. PHILLIPS addressed the jury for the de fendants, in mitigation 'of damages. He disclaimed, in the moat unequivocal manner, that the defendants had intended to cast the slightest aspersion upon the plaintiff's honour, and was ready to give the latter the fullest assurance of such being their real feeling. The ASSESSOR, in summing up the case, called upon them to overlook the strong. appellatives used in the technical description of the offence in the .pleadinge, as well as the speeches of the Counsel, and to confine their attention to his (the Assessor's) unadorned description of the facts, which, if pos sible, he should place stark naked before them. The question was simply what amount of damages they ought to give the plaintiff to satisfy the justice of his case. It was necessary in estimating the amount to look to the time and circumstances when these publications took place :. he agreed that great abuses had crept into the liberty of the press, and that juries were bound to take care of the liberty of the subject; and he was quite sure that if they thought Captain Hall's character had been so injured under the time and circumstances of these publications, and that his good fame had been thereby so depre ciated, they would give him liberal damages, accord ing to the circle of society in which he moved. But he repeated, that the time and circumstances were most material for their consideration, and that on electioneering occasions some latitude must be. al lowed, When men's feelings were so warmly awakened. The Jury would take the whole case into their own consideration, and say how far the reputation of the plaintiff had been injured by these .publications. They would discuss the amount of damages in their own breasts, divested of all the eloquence of the Counsel in the cause. The Jury retired•at half-past two o'clock, to con sider attic 'verdict. When they had been absent about half an hour • the Under Sheriff - adjourned. the Court; - and said he'would await the verdiCt tit the Pelican Inn; to- which place the July repaired at four o'clock, witlA a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 5/. - - - Detachments belonging to the 14th and 40th Regi ments of Infantry, embarked this morning, on beard a steam-vessel in the River, for Gravesend, on route to Chathath.

James Shorter's evidence was to the following effect was a constable of the ward of Portso ken, and he was on duty on the 28th of June. He had watched the defendant for three hours in the neighbourhood of the Minories, and at last saw him and another person standing at each side of a young man. The defendant had a watch in his hand, and was recommending it, as duffers generally do, to the stranger. The witness told the stranger what it ap peared he knew very well, that he was between two duffers. The defendant called him a robber, and told him that he had hanged many a man. The witness then showed his staff, and desired him to go on, but the defendant refused, and uttered a torrent of abuse. The witness then seized him by the collar, but be resisted, and kicked the witness, and they rolled together in the kennel. The witness, however, clung to him, dragged him into a shop, and called for assistance. Before, however, the de fendant was properly secured, they had another tumble and roll in the kennel together. A. number of Jews from the neighbourhood of Petticoat-lane assisted in insulting and abusing him. Cross-examined by Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS.— Upon your oath, did you not receive 58..fr0m his wife ?

Captain King accordingly pre sented a medal, on receiving which the young lady dismounted, and all her companions follow ed the example, except the old man and woman, who remained elevated on a heap of skins and guanaco meat. They remounted by placing their left foot in a loop, which hung round the horse's neck, and vaulting into their seat. The Patagonians appeared to Captain King and his party, on landing, to be a very large race ; but on their dismounting, they were no longer conspicuous for their size. From that officer's observation and intercourse with this people, it is evident either that Commodore Byron must have been very much deceived when he saw them, - or that the race of Patagonian giants has since that period degenerated, from their communication with the Spanish settlements to the north.

The morning was cloudy. My ascent was to have taken place at 12 o'clock, but in conse quence of a number of gentlemen having made arrangements for the races to commence at three o'clock, I was_ requested not to ascend until half past. one .or two. At this time the roads and adjoining fields - were lined with 'people. At half-past - one I commenced attaching the car,' when the balloon was let to rise, so that the hoop restrained it.

In ,four .minutes and a half I lost sight" of the earth, and . was in this dark and gloomy state for seven minutes. At one time I had the 'curiosity to extend my hand beyond the edge of the car, to see whether I could dis cern it at that distance, which I could but very faintly. The part of clouds which I passed through was, :accorailig to my calculation, three quarters of a mile. lat last perceived a shade of light above_ the balloon, and in a moment was soaring in an atmosphere too brilliant for the eye to bear. The balloon, net, &c. being very clamp, and the sun shining in itstreatest splendour, caused .a powerful evaporation to commence, which ,gave me considerable buoyancy., It is impossible to' describe the grandeur which presented itself to my view 'at. this time, the clouds „forming a level surface, Only . varied by shades. The. reason of this appearance was my being So much above them. At the time I rose through the surface, they appeared as moun tains of snow, only with muchmbre splendour; .so that I. could only bear the sight,of them at intervals. The heavens above" me appeared of a dark blue, - !*ithout the leaSt vapour. " The sun appeared as a bright ghibe, , the eye having no power to look on it, only when shaded by the bottom of the balloon, which it was when above the hoop which' Supports the car. The reason of 'my being above the ear and hoop was, the bottom of the balloon being buoyed up out of reach, to obtain the valve string I was compelled to leave the car, and rise above the hoop, sup porting myself by the net with one hand. In doing this I had to lean myself backwards, bear ing on the cords of the net, in which situation m y cap fell from .my h ea d pressing through the cords. Having obtained the valve-string, 1 'again descended the car. It being half-past two and, the balloon nearly expanded, I determined to reach the highest altitud e i n m y p ower , w hich was at three o'clock, being one mile and a half abOVe the clouds, and three miles aboVe the level of the sea.

Here the grande nation can submit to no rivalry, alniost no comparison. As I entered the Rue de la Paix from Place Yen dOme to-day,. my. eye was broadly saluted by a sheet of paper, some feet square, setting forth in chronological order all the great battles, from Clovis to Buonaparte, in which the French were victorious. The three last were the battles of Toulouse, Ligny, and the Trocadore. In the first, the proportion of French to the allied force was represented as 18,000 to 80;000. At Ligny there were 72,000 against 120,000. Victory is claimed on the 16th of June, 1815, but without.the most distant hint of the modifi cation it underwent the second day following. In the last of their recorded feats of arms at the Trocadore, under the Duke d'Angoul6me, no mention is made of the force on either side. The superiority of our physical strength in action is adMitted by the French themselves. What chance,' said a wag from Hibernia, has a:belly ful of frogs against ten. or eleven stone of roast beef, when it comes to the push, putting courage Out of the question ?' But the fact is, our countrymen are fonder of the thing.—Rambling Notes. A JEW'S TRICK.—A gentleman who resides in Cobourgh-street, appeared before the Magi •strates on Monday, to prosecute a travelling Jew, named Joseph Bruunstein, against whom a sum mons had been issued, but - who had made him self scarce and could not be found by the officers. The complainant stated, that about three Weeks ago, the Israelite called at his house, and offered for sale an elegant gold chain, two gold. seals, a gold ring, and a pair of gold bracelets, all " bet ter ash new and sheeper ash noting at all—so help him Cot !" Thus tempted, the gentleman was induced to purchase the splendid articles; the seals were forthwith appended to his gold ,watch' by the chain, and the bracelets were trans ferred to the wrists of his lady—all fOr the sum of one pound and a few articles of old jewellery. All parties were delighted with the bargain, ex cept the Jew, who declared that " it vash trowing de tings away—it wash downright robbery—and it vash quite against his conscience !" However, in hopes of making a better bargain, another time, he parted with the articles, and took his leave. For some time the gentleman was quite elated with his bargain, but 'on the tenth clay the golden -articles began to change colour, and it became evident, to the mortification of the pur chaser, that e , a ll is not gold that glitters," for chain, and bracelets, having put the seals, ring, off Their disguise, proved to he brass ! Thus bitten - by the Jew-dog, the gentleman applied for relief to the• Magistrates, but in vain—Moses was too deep to be had; and all the consolation the Mayor could give ; was advice to Seize the knowing one vi et arms, whenever he.could be .found, and bring him- to . the GuildhalL A few such instances as this would ha4r, the effect of teaching th e public the expediency of p a t ron i s i ng the tradesmen who pay rent 'and taxes, in pre feroilce to those wanderers, Who contribute no thing to the suppOrt of the community, and who, having no reputatio . 4 stake, ha . ve little except their conscienceslight barrier !_to restrain them from imposing on the unwary.— Alfred , Exeter SINGULAR MISTAKE. A coal-merchant named Jones was indicted for having assaulted a Coal-meter in the execution of his duty.--Convicted, and fined Is. and discharged. As soon as the last-mentioned case terminated, Aldermen Tnone and Luens, upon looking towards the Jurymen, said, " Why, we have been trying all this while with no more than eleven Jurymen." All eyes were then directed to the Jury-box, and certainly a twelfth Juryman was wanting. There was a general laugh in the Court when the discovery was made known to the public. The RECORDER asked Mr. Clarke, the Clerk of the Arraigns, how it . happened that the Jury was not full ? Mr. Clarke replied, that twelve gentle men had answered to their names, and he concluded that they had all been sworn. ' The Swearing Officer stated, that he took it for wanted, when he administered the oath, that all the 12 had stood up to be sworn, as every one of them answered to his'name. A Jury Man said, that one of the gentlemen sum moned was Mr. Bennet. That gentleman had an swered to his name, bitt he sat at the other side of the Court, and probably did not think he was re quired, and therefore ret►red. Mr. BOLLAND said, that the 1.1 had done the business in a very satisfactory manner, and did not require a 12th.--(A laugh.) ' The mistake arose from two causes. The Court was held in a very small room (the Exchequ er Chamber), where jury, attornies, w►tnesses, and de fendant were all huddled together, so that it was very difficult to ascertain who were, or who were not, the Jury. The keeper of Whitecross-street prison, who attended in a case of assault, happ ene d to take, upon entering the Court, a vacant seat close to the Jury, and he was considered by the Jurymen as one of themselves. 'When he rose as a prosecutor, the eleven found that they had been all in the, wrong. A person named Maltby was convicted of having assaulted Mr. Spencer, tha keeper of Whitecross street prison. The keeper had pardoned the defen dant as an individual, but the Court sentenced Maltby to imprisonment in the House of Correction for one month, One of their horses was caparisoned in a style very superior to that in which the generality of the horses, even at Monte Video, are dressed out ; the bridle and saddle were evidently of Spanish manufacture, and probably had been procured from the Rio Negro. The studs and ornaments of the saddle were of brass, and well polished ; and altogether, the newness and good condition of the whole furniture would have done credit to the steed of an Hidalgo. The young damsel who rode this horse wore large brass spurs, similar to those in common use in the neighbourhood of Buenos Ayres. The caparisons of the other horses were of a more rude construction ; the bits, however, were generally of iron, and the reins a strip of hide ; the saddle was wood, made to fit the horse's back, in the pummel of which was a hole, pro bably intended to receive the bridle through, to answer the purpose of a martingal. This wooden frame, or saddle, is covered with skins, and forms a soft and easy seat. The English were received and treated by the Patagonians in the most friendly manner; through out their entire communication with them, they rode their horses, visited their encampments, and no signs of want of confidence or distrust were exhibited. Indeed, three of the natives pro ceeded in the Adventure to Elizabeth Island, whilst the rest of the tribe travelled overland to meet the ship. These poor fellows, however, were miserably sea-sick the greater part of the time they were on board, and seemed very un happy at not being able to return to their friends, to the smoke of whose fires they continually pointed. But when the sea sickness went off, they resumed their former good-humour, and ap peared quite contented. One of these, named Aighen, who was the tallest Patagonian seen, measured only six feet in h e i g ht ; the others were not more than five feet ten . They were not well prop ortloned, for, when seated, the gigantic size of their bodies and heads rendered them apparently much taller than ordi nary men. On another occasion, at Gregory Bay, three Patagomans came on board the Adventure to pass the night : two of these were men, the other a woman, and no less a personage than the Cacique Maria. She was apparently about forty, and spoke tolerable Spanish, in which language she was very communicative. During the evening she smoked tobacco, drank as much grog as she could get, and made herself quite at home. A place had been provided for her and the men to sleep on the lower deck, which for some time they occupied very contentedly; but sing and make a deck, where i a i s oi t s h e ey t h ‘ e v y e , r a e dj n o o u t e e t r i m t i o tt e t pd b e t to pp e r they passed the remainder of the night. One of the men had lost his daughter a day or two before, and his grief, when the grog he had drank began to operate, was expressed by the most dismal howlings, to the great annoyance of all on board who wished to sleep. Upon applying to Maria to use her influence in quieting him, her constant reply was, " Pov recito ! su hijo morio esta manana ; nor did she attempt to use her authority in stoppin g him, saying, at the same time, "'Es boracho..

The papers had suf fered somewhat from the weather, but were le gible, and proved, to be two latin inscriptions, one by Bougainville, , in 1767, the oth er by Cor doba*, in 1783, stating the objects of their re spective voyages, and the names of the principal officers of the ships. Between St. Jerome's Channel and Cape Gallant, the northern Shore of the Strait presents a very agreeable landscape. In the distance Are lofty peaks and craggy mountains, covered with snow : in the foreground are pleasing combina tions of mountains, hills, and valleys, with green sloping sides, well grassed plains, woods, and copses, water falls, rivers, and little streams.-- This part affords goed anchorages, and seems to be the favourite haunt of the various water-fowl of the Straits.

The weather which the Beagle experienced. was exceedingly tempestuous, with heavy and continued rains.
