Ir 13 ". --- By letters from Bombay, dated the 24th of May, we learn that the Governor, the Hon. Mr. EL. PiIIZISTONE, has returned to the Presidency, after a five inolaths tour to the northward. He must have suffered greatly froir. heat, as during the months of March, April, and May, the thermometer in the Guzzerat and Battiware was from ninety to one hundred and ten. He most minutely exae all the judicial and revenue systems, furnished ths' Agents of Governm en t w ith p ar ti cu l ar instruction . for their guid duce sr,ance. He also sent out s tr ong d e t ac h men t s t o re --n e Predatory hordes who have long plundered the coun ' f t i r y , and been a terror to the peaceable natives. Those plun len are called Bbeels. They live in the hills and woods, and descend in bands to commit their depredations. By these letters we learn,what is essential for young men going topindia to kriGl7 , that Writers and Cadets now undergo an examination as tr) their knowledge of the. native languages ; and no youth has a c hance of success who is ignorant, of the Hindoostance. The highest respect is entertained for the able manner in whieh the disinterested Dr. GILCHRIST prepares young men for the ser ree:--We rejoice to learn that the Cholera Morbus has abated 144 rigour in the Deccan.

The ship Fame has retutned to Hull, and Capt. Scoresby has confirmed all that was stated in his letter of the Nth of June,, inserted in some of the Public Papers in July last, respecting the important advantages to be derived from the use of the rocket in the Whale fishery. The Fame has brought home nine fish, in the capture of the whole of which ':ie rockets were successfully employed. After being struck by the rocket, the largest whale became an easy prey to its pursuers. In one case, instant death was pro duced by a single rocket, and in all cases the speed of the fish was much diminished, and its power of sinking limited to three or four fathoms. One of the largest finners, of 100 feet in length, a species of fish seldom attacked by the ordinary means, and of the capture of which there is scarcely an instance on record, in the northern seas, was immediately tamed by a discharge of rockets, so that the boats overtook and surrounded it with ease. Six out of the nine fish died in less than 15 minutes ; and five out of the number took no line at all. One only survived nearly two hours, and one only took out more than a sin g l e line, by getting into a pack of ice, where the boats could not follow. The peculiar value and importance of the rocket in the fish eries, is, that by means of it, all the destructive effects of a six or even a twelve-pounder piece of artillery, both as t o pene tration, explosive force, and internal fire, calculated to accel e ate the death of the animal, may be given with an apparatus not heavier than a musket, and without any shock or reaction on the boat; whereas, it is obvious that no boat applicable to the fishery of the whale can ever be made capable of sustaining the shock necessary to produce the same, as affects the six or twelve-pound shell, by the ordinary means of artillery, or any thing in any degree approaching them. In fact, nothing . larger than the harpoon-gun could be ap plied ; and the missile which could be discharged from such an implement, could neither have penetration, nor explosive force, sufficient to do any serious injury to the fish. With respect to the rocket, however, it is a fact, that some of the smallest, fired in the late experiment in the Fame, pe netrated completely through the body of the fish, so that the effect of the explosion was visible on the opposite side—the fierce fire of the rocket fixed in the animal's inside, rapidly de stroying life ; and the effects and report of the explosion, being distinctly perceivable within him, in one instance, as above stated, producing immediate death. Indeed, it is certain, that this might, in almost every case, be insured by increasing the power of the rocket, without increasing the inconvenience or in cumbrance of the apparatus required to discharge it, and with as little reaction on the boat as when the smallest rockets are used. In addition to this it may be stated, that there is no doubt of the rocket ultimately dispensing with the operation of the hand harpoon, by conveying the line, and destroying the animal at the same time, and that, without requiring th e ap proach of the boat to the fish, within the limits of perfect s xu rity. It is also equally certain, that the large finners, never or rarely attacked in the North, will be rendered an easy prey by the judicious application of the rocket. THE ARMY. The Oxfordshire Regiment of Militia, upwards of 500 strong, assembled on Wednesday last in Oxford, for 21 day? training and exercise.—Capt. Peers's troop of. Oxford Yeomanry Cavalry have also been on duty during the present week. The 49th Regiment, at present doing duty at Waterford, are under orders to embark at that port for Bristol, whence they are to proceed to Chatham, there to remain till the commencement of December, when they are to sail for the Cape. The exemplary conduct of the 9th Lancers, and the East Kent Yeomanry Cavalry, on the day of his Majesty's Progress through Canterbury to embark for the Continent, has called forth a tribute of -nrobation from the Corp ora t io n, w hi c h w ill -be found - it -unanimous resolution of the Court of Burghmotc. In consequence of the very large price of oak timber, and the decay to which it appears liable from dry rot, the Government have determined on making an experiment by building ships of mahogany, for which purpose a contract has been entered into for ten thousand load of that wood. —( Kentish Gazette.) Sim ociNa DEATll.—Yesterday morning a boy, about fifteen years 'old, of the name of JOHN PAUL, was found dead on a brick-kiln in a field near Exmouth-street, Hampstead-road. It ap peared from the statement of a younger brother of the deceased, that they lived by plunder ; that on the preceding night they stole some po tatoes out of a field, and put them on a kiln to roast, and after they had eaten them, they laid down on the kiln and fell asleep ; he fell off and scratched his face, and when he went to rail his brother he found he was dead, being suffocated by the effluvia. The deceased, though young, was an old offender, and had been tried at the Old Bailey for stealing pencils and French chalk from a shop in Warren-street, Fitzroy-square. He had also been in the Refuge for the Destitute in Hackney-road. REGISTER, OF FASHION.

CANTERBURY CATCII CL1.713.-- This Club which h a s, f or nearly half a century, afforded one of the most rational and pleasurable recreations of the City and its neighbourhood, fully exemplified its motto of " Harmony and Unanimity," at its opening for the season on Wednesday night, under the aus pices of the same worthy President, who has now succes. sively filled the Chair for upwards of twenty-five years, and supported by the professional skill and science of Mr. Goodban, as Leader and Coriductor of the °relies- 1 tra.—The Selection for the evening, yielded a rich treat to the amateur. On the health of the President being proposed, a general burst of applause followed, and when 51- lelle? was restored, his thanks for the boifout again conferred on hint were sensibly expressed, in the gm:Vim:ion he felt in thus preceding in a Society which he believed was exceeded by none, in-its claim to the motto it had adopted.—The Club Room is much improved by the repairs and alterations which have been made since the last season, and is now complete in every re spect : relatively, we may be allowed to say, that it may bear comparison with some of the most celebrated for harmonic meet ings in the metropolis.—(Kentish Gazette.) EARL OF DALHOUSIE. [From an American Paper.] The following is the Address of the Inhabi tants,of Hull, and of the Ottawa River Agricul cultural Society, to his Excellency the Earl of DAMIOUSIE, on his passage down the Ottawa, with his Answer to them : To his Excellency the Earl of DALirousir., Baron Dalhousie of Dalhousie Castle, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Ho nourable Military Order of the Bath, Governor-General, and Commander-in-Chief in and'over his Majesty's Provinces in North America, &c. &e. May it please your ExtAleney—The Inhabitants of the Township of Hull beg leave to congratulate your Lordship on your safe arrival from a troublesome and dangerous journey, by the way of the Ottawa, down which no . previous Commander in-Chief ever ventured. Permit the grateful and loyal Inhabitants of this place, to contrast their present situation and feelings with what they must have been a little time antecedent to your taking possession of these Provinces. Only four years since, after a toilsome march and warfare of sixteen years, against dangers and privations more than com monly incidental to a new settlement, we found ourselves sur rounded on the East, West, North and South, by one continued scene of sameness which appeared to frown and bid defiance to our exertions, cut off by thick tangled and pathless woods from the busy haunts of men—neglected and forgotten by those indi viduals who owned the land around us, and on whose promises we vainly hoped assistance in forming roads to communicate with other settlements. Then—when we thought our situation desperate, Providence in wisdom began to work for our liberation by the instrumen tality of your late noble predecessor. In him we hoped for as sistance—in, your Lordship . we find every disposition to help and encourage the enterprising parts of the country. Now we enjoy the blessings of social life by the increase of settlements around us—by the liberality of your Excellency's Government, we have the woods in some ilt!gree opened by roads of communication to almost every part of the country--tlie natural and majestic impediment to the navigation of the Ottawa at the Long Sault, will soon be surmounted by the completion of a Canal, and that nothing may be wanting to make us forget past troubles, as your Excellency has condes cended to revisit this place, to hear and see our wants and en courage our endeavours. We are aware that our expression of gratitude and esteem will not be the greatest source of satisfaction that will arise in your mind for your efforts to assist this needful and heretofore neglected part of the Canadas—but the recollection that you have been eminently instrumental in ameliorating the condition of almost every part of his Majesty's possessions in North America, will, we are- satisfied, afford your Lordship the most heartfelt satisfaction. With unalterable sentiments of respect and Loyalty, :We remain your Lordship's most obedient, And devoted Servants. (Signed by the Committee of . 111anagement.) Hull, Aug. 17, 1821. To which his Excellency was pleased to return e following' Answer : _ HULL, 17th Angus+, 1821.

Majestic DENHAM, in his lofty lays, dives to MD THAMES the meed of lasting praise, And marks One beauties of the noble stream In numbers flowing as his honour'd theme : Mama's genius shews its INFANT SOURCE, With fancy, spirit; elegance and force.

What scientific truth, and simple grace ! The Swan exults amid the sportive Train, Anxious to glide along the liquid plain ; Appropriate symbols deck the wat'ry glade, And Nature lends to Fiction all its aid. 'Twas the same Muse that touch'd with kindred firs The Painter's pencil, and the Poet's lyre. Ah !

THE THEATRE. The Stranger, a play of a very affecting, but of a very pernicious, tendency, inasmuch as it softens the crime of adultery, and raises sym pathy for guilt, drew a numerous audience last night to Covent Garden Theatre.--Mr. YOUNG gave all due feeling and dignity to the amiable, though misanthropic, - hero of the piece, and received all due applause. Mrs. BRUDENELL, the Lady who made a successful appearance at the Haymarket Theatre this sea son in the character of Belvidera, was last night the Mrs. Haller. It was evident through the whole of her performance that she fully un derstood the character. The mournful sense of her crime • was visible in her by play, as well as in every allusion to it in the dialogue. There was a domestic simplicity in the whole of her acting which evidently resulted from genuine feeling. Her deportment might have indicated more of the elegance suited to the supposed for mer rank of the part, but the deep contrition by which it is characterized might be conceived to absorb all consideration of outward manners. She was very well received. The part of Peter was per ! formed by Mr. MaAnows, who lately - appeared in that of Scrub. He is by no means destitute of humour, but he does too much. His by play, by exciting the laughter of the galleries, interrupts the dialogue which passes between the other characters at the time, and therefore tends to ob struct the progress of the fable; besides, that it is an , injury to the other Performers, whose efforts are 'obscured. Ile also was well received.—The afterpiece was Blue Beard, but it did seem to be brought forward with the splendour announc ed in the playbills, and the processions did not pass with due regularity and effect. It was, however, well supported by the Performers, par ticularly EGERTO'N, FAwcErr, BLANCHARD, Miss LOVE, and bliss H4LTANnE. The- last seems to be quite recovered in health, and she is obviously very much improved in the ease and spirit of her acting. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A spacious box, hung with crimson velvet, trimmed all round with deep gold fringe, was fitted up immediately in front.of the stage, commanding a full view of the performers. Into this none were admitted except the persons composing the personal suite of the two So vereigns,. and the Great Officers of State. At half-past six o'clock the . Prince and Prin cess of Orange appeared in the Royal box to the left of the stage, and were greeted with some demonstrations of popular regard. Her Royal Highness was attired in the most costly manner, and . her head dress displayed a greater pro fusion of diamonds than perhaps any indiii dual ever beheld upon one person at One tinie. The box opposite to that of the Prince and Princess was occupied by the Queen's Ladies of Honour, who also attended at an early hour. The theatre soon became crowded to excess,; and the audience, so far as could be inferred from externals, appeared of a superior order. At seven o'clock precisely, his gritannic Majesty entered his box, accompanied by the King and Queen of the Netherlands. After bowing to the latter with his wonted grace, he handed her Ma jesty to a seat ntr his right, and the former took a chair on the left of his august visitor. The moment our Sovereign presented himself, the - whole audience rose with one accord, and the or chestra struck up " God save the King," while his Majesty bowed repeatedly in acknowledg ment of their attention. This was the first time since his Majesty's arrival that the Belgians proved themselves worthy of his pre sence. I am harpy. to inform you that his Ma jesty appeared in excellent health and. spirits. He was dressed in the uniform of a - Field .Mar shal, and wore the insignia of a Belgian Order, as did also the Duke of Wellington, who sat. with the Marquis of Londonderry in a compart ment under the Royal canopy, and detached from the other distinguished personagesavho were in attendance., His Excellency the British Am bassador sat behind the chair of his Royal Master, attended by the Officers of his Household; and the personal suite of his Belgian Majesty was ex ceedingly brilliant. The dress of the Queen was very much admired for the taste • and richness it displayed. His Majesty wore a red colour satin turban, the folds of which were confined by diamonds of the purest water, _disposed in fanciful wreaths, and a dress of the same costly description enhanced the light drapery in which her Majesty was attired. The dress of Lady Clan carty and her daughters was also very splendid. They sat in his Excellency's box, which waS oc cupied by some English personages of • the first distinction, among whom I observ'ed the Marquis of Conyngham, Mr. Foster (our. .Ambassador lit Copenhagen) and his lady, Lord Clanwilliam, Sir Andrew Barnard, &c. The entertainment consisted of an opera, founded on an eastern story, in which dervises, dancing girls, and fire worshippers were introduceel,its bustling confusions • The-details of the plot were too complex for any_ powers of comprehension to understand, and the music was not remarkable for excellence. His Majesty, during the performance, frequently con versed with the illustrious personages on each side of. him, and was supplied with coffee shortly after he had taken his seat. Prince Fre derick of Orange, a young man of great promise, stood all the time near his Royal Mother, and engaged the Marquess of Londonderry in con-- versation. The curtain fell at ten o'clock precisely, and " God save the King" was again played. as his Majesty retired. The Marquess of Conyngham, while sitting in the Ambassador's box, related an anecdote that made those around him laugh- heartily. He said that while travelling in the Royal carriage from Calais to Lisle, the people in many places Mis-- • took him for the King, and incessantly cried out " nye le Rol d'Angleterre," making, at the same time, a profound obeisance. The Noble Marquess felt quite embarrassed at hav ing thus involuntarily usurped the honours of his Sovereign, and was anxious to hide himself from the acclaiming multitude. However, in . order to do this, he was subjected to no slight inconvenience ; for, being of more than ordinary stature, he found it necessary to coil up his frame in a corner of the carriage, and to hold his head close to his knees, a - posture which his Lordship represented as by no means plea sant on a long 'journey. His Majesty enjoyed the scene exceedingly, and rallied the Mar quis on the awkward predicament in - which he found himself. " What, Conyngham," said" his Majesty, " have you not yet learned to play the King ? Bow to them, man, as -I would." Those who have seen his Majesty make a bow, will readily admit flint he could not have imposed upon the Noble Marquis any injunction less likely to be obeyed. • . LOUVAIN, OCT. I.—His Majesty did not leave Brussels this morning, though it was expected he would have set out at an early hour. I under stand he will certainly proceed on his journey to-morrow, and continue it with the least po-.. sible delay till he arrives at Hanover. The town from which I now write is on the direct road, and two stages from Brussels. IMPROVEMENT IN }EROSTATION.-It has been proposed by a gentleman of this city, to keep a balloon constantly in a favourable current of air, by increasing or diminishing its specific gravity, so as to cause it to sink or to rise at pleasure. For this purpose, a copper vessel and condensing pump, which will serve in a great measure, as ballast, are attached to the car. When the balloon is rising too high, its volume is to be diminished by condensing the hydrogen gas in the copper vessel. On the contrary, when it sinks too much,. by turning a cock, the hydrogen is to be allowed to inflate the balloon again. In case of a long voyage, it is recommended to have another simi lar vessel, with a quantity of hydrogen condensed in it, is a supply to replace any that might escape through the pores of the balloon.—(Cork Paper)
