Commissioner Boyle, with the officers and men under their respective commands ; but it was not until the 22d, with all the skill and exertions employed, that the ship was safely secured in dock. On examination it was ascertained, she had carried away the whole of her fore-foot, about ten foot of her larboard garbed streak, and a great part of her false and main keels ; and While these alarming and serious tic kets evidently di t ty what must have been the ex ertions at the pumps, for npwards of 20 hours be fore any personal assistance could be afforded, they also. most satisfactorily prove what gracious goodness and mercy must have been vouchsafed to them by that Almighty Being whose arm alone Can save the wanderers of the trackless deep."--- The Meander is °I tiered by the Admiralty , to be fitted with all possible dispatch, and the people of Sheerness Dock-yard are directed to earn as much money as they can in repairing her. • NAVAL REGULATION:3. The PRINCE REGENT has directed, by an Girder in Council, that all the vessels :in the Navy shall in future be distinguished by the number of guns and carronades they actually monut, and not ac cording to the erroneous denowinutious which bad long since grown into use. . A new sloop of war, to Carry 18 guns, is order ed to be built in the dock-yard at ‘Voolivich, of the fir which grows on the estate of. the Duke of Arum., and, out of compliment to his Grace, is to bear his name. The following vessels hi#ve been delivered over to the River Police, for the purpose of forming depots on the Thames, viz.:—The Breydragern of 12 guns, Port Mahon Of 18 guns, and the ower tender—all at Deptford. A ship, to carry 54 guns, is ordered to he built at Woolwich dock-yard, to be called the. Wi nchester. A maritime survey of several parts of the coasts is about to take place, and the fullowing vessels are preparing .or this service, viz.:—The Aid brig, at Sheerness; the Protector br.g, at Woolwich ; and the Smut) and Shamrock brigs, at Plymouth.

NOEL ESTATES.—There is no , whatever for the statement inserted in a Morning Paper of Sa virday of the Duke of WELLINGTON having, on his late excursion to this country, completed the purchase of Sir GEEATID NaEL's estates. On the contrary, we are assured that the negociation on this subject was entirely put an end to, nearly six weeks ago, b/ an arrangement of the most liberal nature, on the part of those now more immedi ately interested iii the concerns of the banking house, of which he was formerly a partner, and to satisfy whom was the sole object of the pro jected sale. Relieved from these, Sir GERARD's ample estates ill soon free themseNes from every other incumbrance whatever.—(Morning Post.) Tn the South of .

The remains of the Brionapartists, and of:the Jacobins (probably the most numerous of these tsvo lac lions), who last year fomented the outcry. respeet • ing religious persecution, are now working at their objects of subversion, with a Weapon at least as dangerous. The scarcity of bread is now their, pretext and rallying cry for mobs and commotions. Though in Bourtleanx, since the arrest ot Ramlon and Azemes party, tranquillity has been preserv ed, yet it has beets found necessary to exercise an augMented vigilance both by the civil and. the mi litary authorities. At Toulon the riotnna diSpor sition was plshed so far as to compel the Military. to act. Letters from theuce, via Marseilles, men tion a serious conflict as having occurred between the soldiery and the Misguided penple. The mi litary at length received orders to fire, which they did„ and a number of lives were tinfortunately lost. Here the high price of bread was the pre text for tumult. The mob, previous to their sup pression, had proceeded to commit great disor ders.
