SIR Roacur WitsoN.—Lord Ebrington, in th
n; me of the Devon County Club, has tran-mitte
1( 01. towards the subscription for Sir R. Wilson,
at d has accompanied the contribution with the fol-
lcwing handsome letter:—
Castle Hill, March 26.
Sta,—The members of " The Devon County! Club fur the
propagation of the principles of the British Constitution and the
maintenance of Civil and Religious Liberty," have requested mu
to transmit the enclosed draft for lout. in the name of the club,
to the subscription for Sir Robert Wilson, and to offer at the
same time their grateful acknowledgments to that distinguished
officer for the attachment which he has constantly shown to the
liberties, the honour, and the interests of his countrymen ; and
particularly fur his humane and gallant exertions to reiirthc pesee,
and to prevent bloodshed in the cod scenes which took place a.t
her late Majesty's funeral.
In conveying these sentiments from a society to which I his e
the honour to b.long, I cannot refrain frinn expressing my own
cordial concurrence in them, more especially since the statement
which 1 had the gee ification of lie iring from Sir Robert Wilson
in his place in l'arliameat, and which, notwithstanding the nu:-
rage inflicted on him by the Government. and sanctioned by the
Douse of Commons, has, I am sure, satisfied every candid and
generous Englishman, that his conduct in the transaction alliii1:11
to was pericetly in unison with those other acts of his honourable
life which have so pre-eminently contributed to exalt the charac-
ter of a British officer in the opinion of surrounding nations, and
which have pio..ured fur their author the thanks of almost every
Sovereign, and the military distinctions of almost every country,
in Europe, except his own.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,
U. Hall, Esq. • Y:BRINGTON.

FUNERAL OF Sin JOHN Sit ITETER, BA RT.—
Y,sterclay morning the remains of the deceased
were removed from his town-house, in Bloomsbury-
!pare, to be interred at Chin ford, Essex. A
number of persons assembled to witness the funeral.
At eleven o'clock the procession began to move—
it consisted of an out-rider to clear the way ; tw.)
mutes on horseback ; feathers: the hearse, drawls
by six horses, with the body ; five mourning coaches
and four. Deceased's carriage, and about twenty
other carriages of friends of the deceased closed the
procession.
Letters from Trieste, of the Isth ult. mention,
that an engagement has taken place between the
Greeks and Turkish fleets, in which the former had
the advantage, and succeeded in capturing 25 trans-
ports. The Greeks, it is said, had 75 sail, and the
Turks 60—the latter had no ships of war of the first
class. The information was brought to Trieste b?
the commander of a Greek vessel, who waa an eye-
witness of the engagement, which occurred off Pa-
truss on the 3d of last month. IWhen the result is
known at Constantinople, it is very likely that it
will occasion a commotion.

Madrid papers to the 28th ult. have arrived by
express. On the 24th an extraordinary comict hal
arrived from l'ampeluna, with intelligence of the
20th, which unfortunately proves that the hopes
concived of the restoration of tranquillity were
fallacious. On the 19th, some very disagreeable
scenes took place. The affair began with a dinner,
attended by the military in a coffeehouse, at whith
songs were sung, and expressions used, which have
always been considered insulting to the people of
Navarre, and which have fur that reason been pro-
hibited. In consequence of this disturbance, the
Alcalde repaired to the spot, but was grossly in:
stilted, and sonic students set up the cry of "Deana
to Itiego!" The officers and serjeants who were in
the coffee-house immediately sallied out, sabring as
they met. Many peasants and militiamen being
scattered about the streets, a brisk fire of musketry
took place.
Extract of a letter from Valparaiso, Nov. 8:
" The Sacramento has arrived, and it appears Lord
Cochrane had gone for Callao, but some say to
Acapulco, but I think his principal object is to look
after the ship Emperor Alexander, in which I be-
lieve lie is interested. The army at Guayaquil has
suffered considerably, and Gen. Sueze, slier having
routed the Spaniards, has been completely def:ater,
and it is reported, the Spaniards are now masters of
Guayaquil."
The Caledonian Meretay, of March 28, says—
" An advertisement appeared in our List paper,
signed a ' Prudent. Man; and dir:cted against,the
Norwich Union Insurance Society, fir which-we
take the earliest opportunity of expressing our un-
feigned regret. We have always held it to be a
sacred principle, in the management of our paper,
in no case to insert any thing that can either wound
the feelinp or hurt the interest of any individual,
and it has been accordingly a standini, rule, oft...n
and anxiously enforced, that ail advertisements,
which contained matter in the least degree doubtful
in its tendency, should be submitted to the Effitnr,
as it is impossible that he can read over all the mat-
ter privittu; to its appearance in the paper. Fy
KM/ unitesountable neglect this -ale was not,
the present instance, complied with, and the adver-
tisement in question having got insertion unawart.s,
was not observed until it was too late to remedy 0:e
evil. We can only repeat, that this mistake has
occasioned the most unspeakable vexation, and tbut
we are anxious to make ally reparation that may
still be in our power."
Sir James Macinotsh will accept of the offiiv
Recordt:r of the City of Landoll, alioald I,se re-
ceive the appointment.
