Falmouth in Jamaica is made a free port, and
is now on the same footing and entitled to all the
privileges enjoyed by the other free ports of the
island.

The Supplement to the Kingston Royal Gazette
of June 3, in stating the proceedings of the Legisla-
ture, notices a message from hi- Grace the Governor,
which was sent with a petition from the inlia6iiants
and -freeholders of the parish of St. George and St.
Mary, reprenting the defenceless situation of ship-
ping and property at Anatto Bay, and praying that
means may be taken, for its security. The House
passed a resolinion for that purpose.
The following duties have been opposed upon the
several distinetions of tea imported into the island of
Jamaica :—Bohea Is. tict. per lb. Congo, Campoi,
Souchong, Pikou, Singlo or Twankay, and Hyson
2s. 6d. Cochineal,or Gunpowder Tea 3s. 4d.
. We are concerned to state,- that Mr. George.Ed-'
mead, .an eminent stationer, of Leadenhall-street,
wasdrowned, on Monday, in the Medmiay at Maid-
stone, at which place he was on a visit to his nu-
merous and respectable relatives and friends. He
had been playing cricket, and went, with some of
his companions, to bathe in the river, when, being
heated, it is supposed, on plunging into the water,
he became suddenly chilled, and sunk. His body
was taken out almost inuedlately„ and bled freely,
but all means to restore animation proved-ineffeetual.,
He was a very amiable young man., and-had not ex-
ceeded his 23d year.
On Sanday night, two hackney coachmen passing
along the lower side of Leicester-square, ran a race
With their coaches, to the terror of the public, and
their passengers, and after overturning a chaise at
the end'of Oxendon-street, one of the vehicles was
run- with such fury against a post, that a pannel was
broken in, and the coach was overturned. A Mrs.
Smith and a youth, passengers, were conveyed sense-
less to the hospital, and the coachman had his arm
broke. The other coach was stopped in the Hay-
mai ket, and the coachman, who was inebriated, was
secured.

ISunday se'nnight a duel was fought at the back
of St. Nicholas's Island, near Plymouth, between
.two midshipmen belonging to the Princess Charlotte
frigate lying in the Sound. They exchanged three
shots each, at five paces distance, and were reload-
ing for a fourth tire, when the Commandant of the
Garrison interfered, took away their pistols, and
scot them on board their ship. One of them ap-
' pared much inebriated, and was in the atit of chew-
- ii+g '4 musket-ball, to make it fit the pistol, when
the Governor of the Garrison very properly inter-
p,:s;xl Ir!s authority.
