DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The performances at this theatre last night were Hamlet, and the Grand Dramatic Romance of Blue Beard. Mr. MACREADY played Hamlet, and the only novelty in the Cast of characters was the Laertes of Mr. KING If ftlr. MACREADY had made his first appearance last night as Hamlet, the performance, to do it any thing like jus• t ieet would require more observation than it is necessary to bestow upon it at present. We do not recollect any one Passage throughout in which he was bunglingly injudi ch'us• As a whole it was a fine piece of acting, full of energy where energy was required, and marking with truly tragic distinctness the melancholy of a wounded spirit. Ifr. KING had net much to do as Laertes, and he lost by his performance no part of such reputation as he has ac quired. Tlisre is some redundancy in his action, which it Would be well if he placed a little more under subjection. bowTox was First Gravedigger, and played it capitally, t hough with a considerably reduced establishment of waist coats ; and we seldom saw a Ghost more effective than that Mr. C OOPER. Blue Beard succeeded. It is a thing Of great splendour, full of Eastern pomp. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The Opera of Artaxerxes was performed last night at this theatre, Miss ATKINSON undertaking, for the first J ti me, the arduous and trying part of 2laszdane. It is but ustice to state that her performance was in every respect !accesseul. Except by Mrs. Noon we do not remember to have heard The Soldier tired" better or more cor r'erlY executed. Next to this her most successful efforts , ere th e a i rs " Fly, soft ideas, fly, " and " If o ' er the cruel h er trant,repeat that Mdane will justify ,), aspiring to exalt e d rank in her an profession. Mr. .21ILLIrs was the Artabanes. He was most successful Ha the execution of the two difficult airs with which t his part is set off—" Behold, on Lethe's dismal strand," en d "Thy father, away," &c. Mr. WILSON'S Arbaces Was a V e ry tame performance. Miss CANT/SE was the Arta xerxes. Sh e sang th e exqu i s it e a i r "I n i n f ancy our 'ones and fears" with considerable feeling, and was very gen erally applauded, The house woe fairly attended. 311 I PPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.

Sir IN RE HUM PHREYS , A LUNATIC . air EDWARD SUDDEN appeared for the prtitioner upon a petition, praying that the Committee might he discharged. Mr. Peers asked that the petition might be ordered to stand over, so that his client, might have an opportunity of answering the affidavits. The parties who had to make the affidavit lived in M-ntgomeryshire, and be did not think they could he obtained before Monday. Sir E. SUDDEN hoped tke hearing would not be de layed beyond Saturday. Mr. PEPYS could not pledge himself to be ready before Monday. The LORD CHANCELLOR then directed the matter to stand fur Tuesday. He could not say Monday, because he thought it most likely that there would be a Council held at Windsor on Monday. IN RE EVELYN, A LUNATIC. Mr. Cirucc appeared on behalf of the petitioner, the administrator of the deceased lunatic, to support the poiti2n, which prayed a transfer of considerable sums of money to the petitioner, standing in the name of the deceased. The lunatic had not been found to be so by inquisition. The LORD CHANCELLOR felt a difficulty in acceding to the prayer, and directed the petition to stand over, that he might have an opportunity of consulting the Judge of the Ecclesiastical Court upon it, before whom be was informed the matter had been. SMITH V. SMITH. The morning was occupied in hearing the arguments of this appeal motion from an order made by this Honour the Vice-Chancellor, confirmatory of a sale made by the Master ; and also a petition on n,balf of some infants in the cause. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE DUKE OF LEEDS. This was an information filed against the Duke of Leeds and persons named Clarksons, fox the purpose of compelling the Clarksons to give up the possession of property they were the❑ in the enjoyment of. The in formation was filed against the Duke of Leeds in his character of Lord of the Manor in which the property was situated. The facts of the case, as stated by the Attorney-General, appeared to be these. A gentleman of the name of Clarkson purchased some valuable copy. hold property from Lord Lowther, and not being able to pay the whole of the purchase money, he borrowed a sum of about 1,1001., from a gentleman named Cross, for which he had a mortgage on the property. At the completion of the purchase, it was thought right that there should he a surrender, and unfortunately that instrument did not contain upon it the notice of any title, except the general title of Clarkson. As purchaser in fee, it did not take notice that Cross was mortgagee. A great part of the personal estate of Cross, at his death, consisted of money due upon mortgages, of which the present mortgage was one. Cross, by his will, after giving several legacies, directed the remainder of his personal property to be applied for promoting the cause of true religion in England and Ireland. It was found, after the death of Cross, that he was illegitimate, and died without heirs, and the Lord of the Manor insisted that, in consequence of that, the mortgage was not a resulting trust to the next of kin, but was escheated to him. The Crown, also, set up claim to the personal property of Cross, investtd in mortgage on the ground, and that money on mortgage could not go for charity. His HONOUR decided against the information, and or doted it to be dismissed. SMITH V. SMITH. A gentleman behind the bar obtained permission of his Honour, on behalf of the Hon. Mr. Craven, to lay before the master a proposal for the marriage of a ward of the Court.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.-(THIS DAY. The Judges of the King Bench and Common Pleas sat here this morning, in order to dispose of Writs of Error from the Court of Exchequer. No Counsel appeared in any of the cases set down, consequently they were struck out, and their Lordships rose at half-plat ten o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY, Their Lordships were engaged till half-past one o'clock in hearing arguments in cases that presented no feature of public inter.st. At that hour they rose, in order to give time for the Court being put in order for the reception of the Lords of the Privy Council, who usually meet here on this day for the purpose or hearing the excuses of those gentlemen who have been nominated to fill the important office of High Sheriff, and have delivered such to the Judges at the last assizes. At 20 minutes past two o'clock, Lord Alth. rp took his seat on the right of the Bench, dressed in his robes of office as Chancellor of this Court. He was followed by the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Richmond, the Lord Chief Baron, the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Vice Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Ber,ch, the Chief Justice of the Court of Review, Mr. Justice James Parke, and Mr. Justice Bosanquet, who took their seats as above, being their order a , - Privy Councillors.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied this morning till half-past one o'clock, in hearing motions for new trials, but nothing of the least public interest transpired up to its rising at that hour, when the Judges proceeded to attend the Members of the Privy Council assembled in the Court of Exchequer, to hear the nomination by the Judges of the last Circuit, of gentlemen returned as qualified to serve the office of Sheriff for the ensuing year.

It now came before the Court upon the motion for a new trial, and the whole question turned upon the construction of the local Act of Parliament. The particulars of the case were destitute of public interest. After bearing the arguments of Counsel, the rule was discharged. BAIL COURT. Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.) MORGAN V. DENLEY AND ANOTHER. This was an action of trespass, which occupied the Court a considerable part of Saturday last, and the de fence, which was leave and license, was postponed until to-day.

DISGRACEFUL AND REVOLTING OUT icAGE.—NEW Ross, Nov. s.—Yesterday a scene was presented here which would be looked on with abhorrence by the most uncivilized savages in the interior of Africa. A large party, accompinying a funeral from Cirrickshaugh, in the county of Kilkenny, bad proceeded as far as Ros. bercon, where some dispute arising as to the place where the corpse was to be interred, the coffin was laid dow n on the bridge while the " boys" were adjusting the matter with their shi lelaghs. In the mean time the bridgeman hail closed the gates. But a strong party, having re placed the coffin on the bearer, rushed on, and having forced the g a t es o p en , p roce eded through the principal streets of the town with the most savage yells and shout ing, and brandi s hi ng t h e i r st i c k s , i n token of triumph. Two of the ringleaders were secured, and brought to the Sovereign's office, where they were fined for the offence, besides having to pay the expenses of the court, attorneys, &c. Having passed through the town in the manner already described, they stopped at a public-house in the outskirts, where they s p ent an h our or upwa rds, leaving the coffin in the middle of the street—.

A ROBBER SHOT..-VERDICT OF THE JURY.-On Wednesday an inquest was taken by Mr. Shebbeare, at Nutley, near Basingstoke, on the body of Thomas Gilbert, who was shot the night before by Mr. William Henry Blatch, under the following circumstances: —The deceased some years since lived with Mr. Blatch as an indoor servant, but was discharged in consequence of having stolen some trinkets belonging to Mrs. Blatch and a friend of herbs; be has since been leading a dissolute life, connected with thieves of the worst description, hav ing been twice or more imprisoned for robbery, and once for housebreakiag. He has lately been living at his parish (Abbots Ann) near Appleshaw. Mr. Blatch has been in the habit of attending Appleshaw fair for years past, and remaining the re th ree or f our d ays, and on the 4th inst. had been to the fair, but, contrary to his usual custom, returned home at night, and was just getting into bed, a little before eleven, when the female servant, (a sister of the deceased, who has lived in their service for many years being of an excellent character,) who was also getting into bed, hearing a noice twice at the back of the house, went to her master's room, telling him she thought some one was trying to into the house. Mr. Blatch took his gun, which he always kept loaded, and went down stairs, where, after searching a room ad joining a pantry in which the china and other things were kept, be went to the pantry, which bad been locked on the passage side, and turning the key, prepared to enter, and on pushing back the door found some obstruction behind. He immediately stepped forward, and on tinning round the door discovered a man with a brown cap drawn over his eyes standing behind. He immediately called out, " hallo !" and not receiving any answer, fired, and the man fell, crying out repeatedly " hallo !" as if calling to some one outside. The candle which Mr. Blatch carried having gone out, he immediately returned to his own room, not knowing but there might be accomplices at hand, there being no other man its the house, and after fastening the door, rang an alarm bell, crying fire (for the house was filled with smoke, which was afterwards found to proceed from the clothes of the deceased, which the wadding of the gun had set on fire). Unfortunately, an hour elapsed before any of the neighbours came to the house, during which time Mr. Blatch, his wife, and children, were in great alarm and suspense. As soon as some of the neigh bours arrived, Mr. Blatch went with them to the pantry, where the deceased was lying, and on turning him round discovered it was his former servant, and the brother of the female who had given the alarm! He immediately spoke to him and asked if he bad any accomplices, which, as far as he could judge, the deceased denied, but spoke so little, and under such extreme pain, that he was scarcely intelligible. Mr. B. immediately sent for a surgeon, but before he could arrive the man died. On examination, it was found th e c h arge had entered just under the right arm, passing to the lungs; and, from the situation of the wound, it appeared as though the deceased had raised his right arrneither to strike at Mr. B. or for some other purpose, but which Mr. B. did not recollect his doing. The deceased had taken off his shoes and placed them on a bench under the window where he had effected his en trance by forcing up the casement, and breaking through the lattice within it. —Verdict, Justifiable Homicide. The wouldprobability remain is,n that theth the eigh deceased,bourd of A thinking neighbourhood tphpaie wfo t. Blatch a few days, entered the premises with an intention of rob bery, under the impression that there were only females in the house..—Berhshire Chronicle. EARL GREY. (From the Durham Chronicle.) On Tuesday last a meeting of the corporation of Dur. ham was held, at which it was resolved to present to Earl Grey the freedom of the city, accompanied by an address. The presentation took place at the Waterloo Hotel, at 12 o'clock on Wednesday—the hour appointed by his Lord ship to receive it, as he passed through the town on his way to the metropolis. There was a very numerous at tendance of the corporation, and several of the roost res peactable tradesmen of the place accompanied then. His Lordship received them with great politeness and urbanity. The addrvs having been read by the Deputy Recorder, the noble Earl returned thanks as follows : " I receive the honour you nave been pleased to confer upon me with sentiments of satisfaction and gratitude which I cannot hope adequately to express. I feel as I ought to do the honour of being admitted to the freedom of the ancient corporation of Durham. Be assured I con sider the approbation of his countrymen—more particu larly when that cannot be deemed the mere ebullition of popular feeling, but the result of trial and experience— the best reward a public man can receive. This reflection makes the honour you have conferred upon me doubly va luable, as a mark, at the end of a long public lire, now fast drawing to its close, of your estimation of the services which, however feeble, it has ever been my wish and de sire to perform, zealously and faithfully, unbiassed by any thirst for popularity, to the cause of liberty and good go vernment. With respect to the great measure of Parlia mentary reform, to which your address more particularly alludes, I beg leave to state—and I will only say so much —that I origin illy proposed, and afterwards persevered in the measure, from a deep-rooted and long-reflected convic tion of its necessity. It was at length carried, amidst m my difficulties, and after a severe contest, to a successful and glorious conclusion ; but in that contest, rest assured, my humble efforts would have been but of little avail with out the support I received from the general feeling of the country. The Reform Bill, to adopt a much abused word, was founded upon conservative, not revolutionary prin ciples—it was intended to restore, and not to destroy : its object was to improve the ancient institutions of the state —to remove the defects and repair the breaches which time had made in them, but not to sap their sure and solid foundations—it was to consolidate liberty with the neces sary power of Government, and to secure to both the strength which is necessary to the general welfare. These were the views and expectations with which the Reform Bill was carried. Notwithstanding, the predictions of those who opposed reform—predictions which, I verily believe, many of them wished to see realized, in order that they might have a triumph over their political opponents —that it would lead to confusion and all its consequent evils—l feel confident that the expectations under which the Reform Bill was carried will be realized by the good sense of a brave and enlightened people, who know their rights and arc determined to defend them ; but who know also that their interests cannot be promoted by confusion, nor even by a continued state of restlessness and agitation, and who, having secured a true representation of the peo ple, will trust to that for the remedy of all abuses." After a few further observations to the same purport, his Lord ship concluded by repeating the gratification he derive from this public testimonial to the nature of those services which he had endeavoured to render to the public, in de spite of all the calumnies and falsehoods by which he had been so foully assailed. The members of the corporation then retired, and his Lordship and his family immediately proceeded on their journey, after receiving three hearty cheers from the per sons assembled. 'HE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION COM- MISSION. On Saturday evening a meeting of the committee ap pointed by the citizens of London to aid and assist the Commissioners of Inquiry into Municipal Corporations, took place at the Guildhall Coffee-house. John Dillon, EN., in the chair. A voluminous Report was read relative to the Corpora tion of the city of London and the trading Companies. The matter to which the Committee directed their atten tion was the state of the constituency of London, and the elective rights possessed by the citizens, or to which they were entitled. After an historical statement of the Corporation and the Companies, evidently the result of great labour and research, the Report recommended to the Commissioners that an efficient inquisition should be forthwith made by them into the origin of the funds, and mode of expenditure of all the municipal and trading Companies. It represented the necessity of obtaining the repeal of the 11th Geo. 1. cap. 18, which gave the voting for certain municipal offices to the Liverymen of the trading Companies, and of giving the franchise to the freemen householders of the city of London ; the removal or diminution of the many fines on the admission to the freedom, end the prevention of the necessity of a pre vious admission to the freedom as a subsequent ad missio❑ to the livery of any of the trading Companies, and the obtaining of a more equal division of the several Wards. It also recommended that the members of the Court of Aldermen should be subject to re-election, at a time to be fixed ; that the Lord Mayor should, as originally, be chosen by the freemen, ncl - , as was at pre sent the case, by the Court of Aldermen, from two Al dermen who were merely nominated by the Liveries; that the veto in city elections, claimed by the Court of Aldermen, should be declared invalid ; that the Court of Aldermen should conduct their business in public; that one simple and uniform triode of disbursing the city funds should be established, fixing responsibility, and providing checks upon the expenditure ; that the masters and officers of the different trading companies should be chosen according to their charters, and the ori ginal practice by the freemen or liverymen of the com panies ; that the accounts and the affairs of the several companies should be laid before the freemen and liv,i y men, for their sanction, and that an investigation of the property and endowments of the companies should be strictly entered upon by the proper authorities, in order that they should be devoted to their original purposes, as trust, and not private property, whether charitable or otherwise. Mr. DILLON, before the report was read, produced a let ter which he had, as Chairman of the Committee, received from Sir Francis Rdgrave. It stated that viva race evidence would be received by the Commissioners on and after the 26th instant, and requested information upon the subject from the Committee. Upon the motion for adopting the report, Mr. ANDERTON asked whether the periodical election of the City Magistrates was not a point upon which much difference of opinion might exist ; and whether, if the rule applied to the Magistrate of the City, the application of it could with consistency be withheld from all others in the commission of the peace ? Mr. R. TAYLOR said that it was much to be desired that all Magistrates should be annually chosen, for the electors would then hold over them a power likely to secure good behaviour. In the instances of officers under the Corporation of London, whose election had been made annual, there was a positive security against abuse, as was palpable from the present condition of the Secondaries' office. The poor all through the country were ground to dust by the tyrannical Magistrates, because the Justices were only removable by art authority very seldom likely to be exercised. The principle of holding an annual election in terrorem was an incomparable mode of attaining equal justice.—( Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN stated that, in all probability the Com missioners would, in the first instance, examine the wit nesses as to the Corporation, and afterwards those who were prepared to give evidence relative to the Companies, and that it war necessary to advertise for testimony, and to appoint competent individuals to collect all the necessary information with due arrangements. Mr. TAYLO R said it was absolutely necessary to watch the Corporation Committee, for he did not think that the information which its Members might be disposed to give would be all that might be required. He suspected that it would, in fact, be limited and partial, and not an in genuous exhibition of existing abuses. Mr. WILLIAMS (of Watling-street) strongly urged the necessity of watching the Corporation Committee, who appeared to be so very anxious to give information, although they doubted the legality of the Commission. A too jealous eye could not be kept upon their movements. Mr. R. TAYLOR said that a considerable inconvenience might arise from the existing practice of allowing one ward to choose a magistrate for the whole city. An in dividual to whom all the rest of the city might have a most reasonable, but insuperable objection, might be chosen by a few individuals, as the custom now stood, to preside as a magistrate over the whole civic population. This was not the case anciently, and it was an abuse which he hoped the Commissioners would not fail to investigate and remove. He wished to be understood as not speaking in allusion to any particular ward or person. He merely meant what might happen. Mr. DILLON said, it was only fair that if an aldertnan represented the whole city, he should be elected by the whole city. Mr. FEA.aoli said, that the observation c omprehended the case of Mr. Scales, whom the ward of Portsoken bad certainly elected, but would probably not be the choice of the whole city. Mr. Ns wELLauggested a variety of abuscs amongst which was the extraordinary one of buying the silent consent of the Corporation to the West India Docks' job, by electing four of the aldermen as directors, at 3001. a year each. The CHAIRMAN stated, that he had received a letter from Dr. Bowring, who had been endeavouring to obtain information relative to the Fishmongers' Company, but who, after all his labour, was obliged to write that he knew nothing at all about it—an expression which meant that all inquiry was distinctly resisted. Mr. FRANKS declared that the evidence of Dr. Bow ring to that point would be most important. After some further de , ultory conversation, it was agreed that measures should be immediately adopted for supply ing the Commissioners with all the information which should be considered necessary towards the accomplish ment of the great work of reforming the Corporation and the Companies of the City of London. HAMBURG PAPERS. STOCKHOLM, OCT. 25.—Lord Howard 'lit Walden has not yet left us, and it is said that he has mat a courier to London, declining the embassy to Lisbon j HAMBURG, Nov. 2.—The high soutb-west winds having been succeeded yesterday by a storm from the north-west, we have had this morning a very high tide on the Elbe, so that the lower parts of the city are over flowed, and much damage was done. BERLIN, Nov. 2.—Six hundred and thirty of the Polish fugitives who have remained in Eist Prussia, and have hitherto been supported by his Majesty's generosity, and some of them with families, have resolved to go to North America, where they are to receive on their I ending from thirty to forty to sixty dollars each, from the Russian Charge d'Affaires. Two roomy ships are destined for their conveyance, which, according to the rules followed in the English navy, contain ample accommodations; and a Committee has been appointed to see that the ships are not only fit for the voyage to America, but are also fit.ed up for the reception of passengers. A Prussian chief army physician and a surgeon's mate, provided with the necessary medicines, are to go on board each ship. The provisions are to he, with some additions, according to the scale of the Royal Boird of Commerce at Dantzic ; and other provisions and liquors, suitable for the sick, are placed at the disposal of the medical men. The im mediate occasion of this measure was a petition from several of the refugees to the King, expressing their wish to go to America, on which his Majesty resolved that the same opportunity should be offered to all the Polish fugi tives, with the express injunction that each of them shall be sep irately questioned, and shall be invited to si4n a written declaration that he has resolved to go to America of his own free will, and without any constraint. HAMBURG, NOV. 1.-Russia is suffering at the pre sent moment to a dreadful extent, from the total failure of the harvest in many parts of the empire. We may form some conception of the extent of the consequent scarcity from some of the Imperial Ordinances contained in the last Petersburgh papers, which reach to the 14th (26th) October. By a resolution of the Ministerial Committee every kind of corn is allowed to be conveyed, free of duty, and even in foreign vessels, from one Ru•sian port to another, and this provision is to remain in force not only for the present, but even for the whole ensuing year. By a proclamation, dated the 1 I th, the provisions stored in the public granaries are ordered to be sold to the poor of St. Petersburgh at a price merely sufficient to in demnify the Government for the original outlay. In the Swedish papers it is stated that a Captain Bridge, lately in command of one of the Gotteaburg packets, is in negotiation with the British Government for the establishment of two steam boats to ply between Hull and Gottenburg.—Harnburg Reporter.

TIIE MURDER AT PLUMSTEAD.--AD JOURNED INQUEST.-The Inquest on the body of Mr. George Bodle, who is supposed to have been murdered, was resumed yesterday evening at the Plume of Feathers, Plutnstead, before Mr. J. Carttar, Esq., Coroner, and Jury. After the examination of several witnesses the inquiry was further adjourned till this morning. In the history of forgery, it is a remarkable fact, that one of the Jury who tried the late Dr. Dodd, was himself, within two years afterwards, guilty of the same offence, tried in the same Court of Justice, the Old Bailey, and executed on the same gallows, Tyburn. The terror of death was in this case as inefficient to prevent the crime, as in the instance of Mr. Fauntlei oy. ENGLAND AND AMERICA.—" The pri mary object of this work," says the Spectator, "is to investigate the diseases in the social state of England, to point out their symptoms, and to discover their remedies. With this purpose the author takes an extensive view of our existing condition. He describes the enormous amount of our fixed wealth ; the wonderful perfection to which all the arts that minister to the com fort, convenience, or luxury of man, have been carried ; the excellence of our agriculture, manufactures, and com merce; and the vastness and extent of those public works, such as roads and canals, which are at once a cause and a consequence of immense riches. It is an important aid interesting work in every point of view,—important in its subject-in itter, interesting in its execution." WALPOLE'S LETTERS TO SIR HORACE MANN.-' What is the charm, the irresistible charm of Walpole's writings? It is in the art of writing what people will like to read. He rejects all but the attractive parts of his subject. He keeps only what is in itself amusing, or what can be made so by the artifice of his diction. The coarser morsels of antiquarian learning he abandons to others ; and sets out an entertainment worthy of a Roman epicure —an entertainment consisting of ❑othing but delicacies—the brains of singing bards, the roe of mullets, the sunny halves of peaches. In wit and animation the present collection of letters has one great advantage over those which have preceded them. It forms a couneeted whole—a regular journal of what appeared, to Walpole, the most important transactions of the last twenty years of George the Second's reign. It contains much new information concerning the history of that time—the portion of English history of which common readers know the least."— Edinburgh Review.

NAVAL INTELLIG: PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 9.---The Jupiter troap-sh;p,-111'r Easto, Commander, arrived on Thursday, svith... ahon • 250 of the 82d Regiment on board, from Ceylon; slai called at the Ma ur i t i us on h er way, an d l e f t t h at i slan ' on the 11th August. She did not touch at the Cipe hut watered at St. Helena on the 26th September; three days prior to which the Charybdis, Lieut. Crawford, had left for England, with the Badger's crew on board; she had, however, to call at the Gambia River. There were no men-of.war at Ceylon, hut the Undaunted frigate was looked for. The Tolbot, 28, was at the Mauritius; which plaice the Melville, 74, left about the Ist of August for Bombay. The excitement at the Mauritius had very considerably subsided, and the parties who had been most opposed to Mr. Jeremy were beginning to think that lie was very well adapted for his situation, and that equal justice was administered to all in his Courts. The French planters were beginning to be satified that their trade with England was a very profitable one, and that they could not do better than support their present Govern ment. Monsieur Parietti, who was an alien in the island, and who had been very busy in the late ferment, is come to England in the Jupiter, - having been banished the island. The Lady Macnaughten, outward bound Indiaman, bad put into the Mauritius to refit, having lost her bowsprit in a gale of wind. The Sylvia transport, Lieut. Baker, Agent, from South America, last from Ascension, arrived yesterday with linvalids and returned stores; Lieut. Hearle, R.N., from the Isis, is a passenger. She left Ascension on the 15th September, and Fayal on the 22d October. The Isis frigate had left Ascension for a cruise on the coast, to relieve the Curlew sloop of war. The Pluto steamer had been refitted at Ascension, and her boiler and engine repaired at that island in the most complete manner, by such artisans as belonged to the garrison, by which tISs , necessity of her return to England was prevented. Lieut. I. Wesley, who went out in command of the Sylvia, died in his passage out, off the Canary Islands, and was buried it sea. We have received lettere from Halifax, dated 14th October. The Vernon, 52, Captain Sir G. Westphal, with the flag- of Vice.Admird Sir G. Cockhurn, and the Ply, 18, Commander M‘Qahae. were then lying there, but were to sail on the 18th for Bermuda. Intelligence had been received at Halifax, via St. Andrew's, tram Bermuda, that the Forte, 42, Captain Owen Pell, and Pyramus receiving -ship, had arrived there from Plymouth ; that the Serpent, 16, Commander Symonds, had arrived there also from Falmouth, and had sailed again for Barbadoes. The Comus, 19, Commander Hamilton, had left Bermuda for Jamaica. The Gannet, 18, Commander Maxwell, had proceeded to St. Kitt's. The Caledonia, 120, Captai❑ Thomas Brown, arrived at Malta on the 23d of October, and the Firefly on the 18:11. The Satellite, 18, Commander Soi ir . , was at Bahia on the 7th of September.

The Wasp, 18, Commander Burney, was to leave Lis bon for Bermuda on the 28th ult. ; her crew had en tirely recovered, and none of the cholera cases had proved fatal after her arrival in the Tagus. The Sylvia cutter arrived on Sunday from a crui , e f and the Speedy cutter on Tuesday from Plymouth. The Salamander steam frigate, Commander Austen, came into harbour on Sunday, from Plymouth, with the reserve companies of the 87th Regiment, which disem barked immediately, and were marched to Fort Cumber lind.
