11th and 15th of February, we had anticipated by a Private Communication upwards of two months ago.---(Sce Tn. SUN of September 61k.) Extract of a Dispatch from the Governor in Council of Bom bay to the Court of Directors of the East India Company, dated 10th March, 1821. The expedition under the command of Major-General Smith, C. 8., arrived at Zoor, (the Imaum of Muscat), the port of debarkation, on the 28th, and the Iniaum on the 30th January, after putting his army in motion on three different routes to effect a junction. The troops immediately landed, and took up a position about two miles and a half in advance of Zoor. General Smith's advance into the interior was delayed by an unexpected deficiency in carriage, which the Imaum was to furnish. On the night of the 10th of l as t m o n th, a p arty o f e the enemy, in numbers from four to five hundred, of the most efficient of the tribe, and conducted by their two Shiek s , ..Mahomad bin Ali and Cadeem bin Ali, after having sur prised the piquets in that direction, made a bold attack on the left of our camp, succeeded in penetrating into the rear of the line of the Bombay European regiment, and committed very serious injury among the Officers and men of that regiment while getting under arms. • As "on, however, as the inlying piquet and • portion of the regiment could form and pursue the enemy, they imme diately withdrew ; but this daring enterprise was attended with considerable loss ; one -officer, Captain Parr, and eleven privates, having been killed, and three and twenty privates wounded. The Arabs left Ban Ali on the afternoon of the Bth, tra versed a country almost a desert, and With very little water, and by a circuitous and very difficult foot-path among the moan rnade along march the last day, and without halting, ex ezpt to leave a few camels they had with them, reached a place Masbach, within an ho ur ' s marc h o f our camp . From Masbach they moved in two divisions. It was intended that one should proceed round to the rear, and the other to the front of our camp, carry it, and then to attack and take the fort of Saone. The two divisions, however, met again accidentally in adate grove on our l e f t, the original plan was changed, and dvanced and surprised the left of our. camp. • • [ Here follows the copy of a better from Major-General Z Smith, C.

In his former speeches his MAJESTY IS reported to have said, that " his heart had al ways been Irish ;" and in the latter, " I have always been a Hanoverian—l will live and die a Hanoverian." It would be hard, indeed, to consider his MAJESTY as responsible for all that flattering or foolish Reporters may state, and it is by no means likely that he should have made such different declarations upon the occasions in question. That his MAJESTY might avow, what he doubtless feels, a regard for all his subjects, With expressions of fervid kindness towards those whom he immediately addressed, May naturally b e expected ; but faction is very fertile, and the silken of party writers will never cease, till by clamour, artifice, or any other means, they can contrive, if possible, to get the Monarch and the Country into their own hands. • s. 1A to w .—The stat em e n t s i n th e. following letter -.6 - •,„ • a surp r i s i nm i ncrease in the trade of this ia nd . 44 L •--- , abu n , l 4l 'nv lA, Ju NE 10.—The coffee crop has been unusually 11 ) .

Ditrity-LANE.—The new Farce of Maid or Wife Was repeated last night at this Theatre, and by its inherent comic power, and the .gent:ral merit of the acting, confirmed itself in public favour. COVENT-GARD EN. —Mrs. CII‘TTEILLEY, who was first introduced on theatrical boards in the Metropolis, at the English Opera House, and had full scope for the exertion of her talents during the late Haymarket season, appeared last night at this Theatre, as Miss Hardcastk, in the Comedy of She Stoops to Conquer. When Mrs. CHATTERLE Y first came forward in Lon don she seemed to be chiefly calculated for characters_ of the sentimental kind, io genteel comedy ; but opportunity and experience have developed her power 3, and she has since appear ed in parts of gaiety and spirit with equal suc cess. her perfOrmance of Miss Hardcastle ma nifested her skill in both respects. She was playful, arch, and animated as the Lady, and displayed sensibility and tenderness with her lover, in the assumed character of the Bar-maid. —She "was very warmly received on her en trance, and she secured the applause of the audience by the uniform merit of her acting.— We have before.Obser:ed, that excellent as this Comedy is, the author has committed a great error in making Miss flardcastle join in the rail lery•against her lover, and repeat his words in ridicule, after all matters were developed and she ' had been strongly touched by his _tenderness and generosity in proposing to sacrifice his rank and fortune to reward her affection. Such conduct, as he had not hearth her soliloquy in his favour ; was calculated to forfeit his good opinion, by distrusting her sincerity. Her participation in the ridicule was needless, as he was sufficiently laughed at by the other characters, and she ought rather, in point of policy, as well as of feeling and consistency, .to have appeared solicitous to soften that ridicule, from motives of affection and gratitude. These re marks have been drawn from us by the general merit of the Comedy, as most dratratic produc tions of a later date.are unworthy of any critical animadversion. The rest of the characters were well sustained. JONES made his first appearance in Young Marlow, and gave it with characteristic truth and spirit. ABBOTT was a more than usually respectable representative of Hastings. FAWCETT'S Old liardeastle was very humorous ; and LISTON'S Tony could not be excelled. Miss Neville and Mrs. Hardcastle were rendered pro minent by Miss FOOTE and Mrs. DAVENPORT ; and the Comedy altogether received just and reiterated applause from a very numerous au dience. Until the return of Mr. WILDE from Italy, the late QUEEN'S property cannot be sold, that Gentleman being one of the executors. The house, therefore, remains in abeyance. The report of the immediate retirement from the Bench of Mr. Baron GRAHAM and Mr: Baron Noon is at least premature. One of. these Learned Judges (Mr. Baron Woon) sat in the Court of Exchequer yesterday morning. The carpet manufactories in Scotland are at this time fully employed, considerable orders having recently been received for the American market. SITAKSPEART.—The house in which this poet lived, at Stratford-upon-Avon, is at present in habited by a butcher, who has placed the follow ing inscription over his door : " SJIAKESPEAR lived here, N.B. Horse and Cart to let." Madame CATALAN', BILAIIAM, and Signor SPAGNOLETTI, are already engaged for the Glas gow Musical Festival, which commences early in December. On Monday the sth instant, a General Assem bly of the Academicians was held at the apart ments of the Royal Academy, in Somerset House, when Mr. C. R. LESLIE and Mr. GEORGE CLINT were elected Associates of that Institution. At, the late \Vest Kent Quarter Sessions, Lord Cur•Tox and ANTHONY HART, Esq. of Mable don, near Tunbridge Wells, one of his Majesty's Counsel, were qualified as Magistrates. Wednesday morning, Mr. Smyrntas, in his wa ter walking machine, set out from Dover, to cross the channel for Calais.. . MINERAL SPRING.—At a short distance from Auchterblair, in the parishof Duthel, Strathspey, there is a Mineral Spring of the same quality with the famed Strathpeper, of Ross-shire ; and much better acconunodation very near if ever it comes into vogue as a Spa. Medical travellers might make it an object of -attention beneficial to the public, and it is not ten minutes walk from the road which the Caledonian coach travels. . Three vertebrris of the celebrated fossil animal of Maestricht has been discovered by Mr. MAN TELL, in the Chalk, near Lewes, a circumstance that may be regarded as highly interesting, since the remains of that oviparous quadruped have not been previously noticed in this country, nor in any other part of the Continent, except in Peter's Mountain near Maestricht. Mr. A. meeting Mr. B. the other day, asked. " how many Capitals above X2OO Bisu had sold in the . present Lottery ?" " Four," answered B. " Bless me," exclaimed the other, " is that all ?" " All ! why how many would you have ? There were no more drawn ; and you can't expect him to sell more than all." GORMANDIZING-Last week a man named George Lanton, of Ramsgate, ate, at the Deal Cutter public-house, in that town, 5 penny rolls, 4 penny-worth of cheese, l shilling's worth of mutton pies, 1 pound of beefstakes, 4 pounds of potatoes, and drank three pints of beer and one glass of gin. The whole of which he performed in 40 minutes. Mrs. Tindel or Sludtlezcorth, the prisoner con victed at the late Perth Circuit Court of the murder of her husband, and ordered for execu tion at Montrose on 2d November, has received a respite for one month, in order to allow time for further inquiry into the circumstances. of her case. She was on Thursday removed from Perth to Montrose agreeable to the terms of her Ee - t en ce.

ANECDOTE • or BACON, TUE Sc.vr,P•ron.—One day as this justly celebrated artist was walking in Westminster Abbey, he observed a person standing before his principal work, who seemed to pride himself on his taste and skill in the art, and who was exuberant in :his remarks... " This monument of Chatham," said he to Mr. Bacon, (whom it is evident he mis took for an ignorant stranger), " is admirable upon the whole, but - it has great defects." " I should be greatly obliged," said Bacon, " if you - , ,tould have the kindness to point them out to me." " Why, .here," said the critic, ' and there—do you not see? bad, very bad ;" at the same time employing •his stick upon the lower figures with a. violence that was like to injure the work. " But," said Mr. Bacon, " I should be glad to be acquainted why the parts you touched are faulty ?" Ile found, however, nothing determinate in his reply, but the same vague 'assertions repeated, and accompanied with the same violence. " I told Bacon," said he, repeatedly of this, while the monu ment was forming. I pointed out other defects, but I could not convince him." " What, then, you are personally acquaint ed,with Bacon ?" said Mr. 8.. " 0 yes," replied the stranger, . 4 I have been intimate with him for many years." It is well for you then," said Mr. - B. taking leave of him, " that your friend Bacon is not now at your elbow, for he would not have been well pleased at seeing his work so roughly handled." DR. iGny.--This Gentleman, who had for many years held a high character in Norwich, and the county of Norfolk, not only for his skill as a surgeon, but his general knowledge and great intellectual powers,. died on the 27th ult. at his house in Norwich. He had obtained a Doctor's degree, and practised with great success. A long life of e:zertion, which had scarcely been chequered either by disease or accident, was closed by an indisposition of eight days, during which the public feeling in Norwich was most pal 'ally excited, and the utmost anxiety hourly betrayed; abou any change of symptoms that afrxted the continuance cf so great and valu ,tile a man.— After being presented with the freedom of Norwich, he was elected one of its Aldermen, and served the offiCe of Sheriff in 1803, and that of Mayor in 1805. Ile was Fellow.of the bin nean and Horticultural Societies, and Honorary Member of the Philadelphia :Society for promoting agriculture; President of the Philosophical Society of Norwich, a Director the Norwich Union Fire Insurance Society, and was attached to many other institutions, both foreign and domestic. AEROLITE.—The Paris Papers mention, that the stone which fell from the clouds on tho.23d of June, at Javinas, in the - department of Ar deche, is now exhibiting to the public. Several amateurs have made proposals for purchasing this wonderful stone, which has excited great specula tion among naturalists. An English mineralogist has, we understand, offered a considerable sum for it. • I,IIS MAJEcTY'S Visit TO SCOTLANII.---It is stated that his 111A.rusTy's design of paying a visit to Scotland in 182 Q, is not abandoned, but will probably take precedence of his Continental tour. Amongst the gossip connected with his stay in the northern portion of his dominions, his Grace the Duke of ATHOL is said to have al ready made arrangements for equipping, in the genuine Highland costume, a body-guard selected from his tenantry, whose provinc e it will be to at tend the KING during his residence at, and ex cursions in the vicinity of, Blair Athol.—(Glas go7o Chronicle.) Pekin is now the largest city in the world, it contains, according to Anderson, a spac e o f n i ne miles every way. P 0 E T It Y 4 CHARADE.

The following letter from the Marquess of BUCKINGHAM to the inhabitants of the parish of Wotton, thanking them for their exertions on the occasion of the fire at Wotton House, last year, is worthy of irritation atul preserith.tion " London, Nov. 6, 1831. " 11t OLD AND GoOD FP.IE:tcDs,—I return you my best and hearty thanks for your zealous and kind assistance, when Providence was pleased to afflict us with the calamity. of fire at Wotton. Many of you have grown grey under the shadow of those walls which you saw burning. I trust you will all of you live to see the house arise out of its ruins and again inhabited by the same heart', inseparably connected with you. At the Same time that I return my most humble thanks to Almighty God for his mercies vonclisafed to me, in saving my son and daughter and their child from the flames, I cannot deprive my self of the satisfaCtion of ackndwledging how much we owe to ' your exertions and activity. • " The rebuilding of the house - will find employment for you all ; and I have the comfort of feeling the proofs which you have afforded my family of your attachment. Thus, out of this calamity arises (thanks to Almighty God !) advantage to one party, and comfort to the other.

THE COUNTESS OE L tUDERDALE.—WE have ascertained the following particulars relative to the manner in is bleb the abominable report re specting this.

On the receipt of the intelligence, Mr.STANLEY came immediate ly to town, and repaired to the Newspaper offices, to contradict the report, which he was happily en abled to do by letter, which he had received friim the Noble Earl, dated the 2d instant,' and which made no mention of the dreadful catastrophe re ported to have occurred on the 31st ult. It is to be hoped that the vile propagator of this abomi nable falsehood will be speedily detected and adequately punished. No punishment can be too severe for the miscreant who could be guilty of so gross an offence. : p,is impossible to calcu-1 late the amount of the mischief which might have: resulted from the propagation of so execrable a report, had it not been so promptly 'refuted. i ,Lady Stanley : has, at the present moment, a n i n -1 fant at the breast, and is, we are happy t o h ear , notwithstanding the receipt of so sudden a shock, I as well as can be expected.—(Morning' CITY Bustscss.--The Lolly MAYoa yester day held a Court of Aldermen at CI uildha - 11, for the dispatch of general business.

Thcßologaa Journal, some time since, an nounced a new invention, by which an aeronaut may, from the centre of his gallery, give to a bal loon a horizontal or vertical direction at his pleasure, by means of a very simple manoeuvre, and without employing either fire or any other material. An article from Rome, in The illoni tcur of Thursday, re-states the above, and adds, that D. 11411ENEGILDE MONTI, of Bologna, the author of this invention, has made a model of it in wood, and that it had been highly approved of by several Professors of the University, and a great number of learned Foreigners. •It instated in Thi Quebec Gazette that the General Post Office, London, has determined to forward the Mail to Canada, by the American' Packet, which sails regularly from Liverpool on the first of every month, for New York.— The King's Packets, it is added, do not usually sail from Falmouth till nearly the middle of the month. The new arrangements will, therefore, give at Quebec a regular Mail from England once a fortnight instead of a month. Au affair of honour, between a Gentleman from the Scottish Metropolis and a Gentleman from Cupar, was settled on the West Sands of St. Andrew's last Saturday week. The parties and their friends met so soon as six o'clock in the morning, and the ground having been measured, and the other preliminaries settled, theyfired. The first round was ineffectual, but at the second, Mr. P—'s ball went through Mr. A—'s coat, without doing any injury. The seconds then in terposed, and a reconciliation took place. iIOYAL NAVY.
