mouth, 20, Capt. Purcell, from the West India station; in the
extended period of four years and three months, she lost only
four men and one officer ; she came into harbour this morning
to be paid off. The Tyne had recently captured another pirate
schooner, zind twenty-six of her crew were under sentence
of death at Port Royal. The former schooner, destroyed by
the Tyne and Grecian was called La Cata, of 90 tons, eight
guns, 100 men, and commanded by a notorious pirate, named
Joseph Sabinas, who was blown up in her ; she had a red flag,
with cross daggers, a long white pendant, with a black ball in
it, and a vertical black and white ensign, with a bust of a man
having a dagger in his hand ; she lost thirty men before she
blew up, twelve of whom were killed.

pers, and Miners, Staff Corps, and of the 27th, 43d, 64th, and
15th Regiments, with returned Naval anti rdnance Stores.
She is under quarantine. Earl Chatham and the Garrison of
Gibraltar were in good health. Several Spanish privateers,
fitted out at Taritla, bad been very successful, bringing in
French vessels almost daily.

It is said that the Committee, which had some time been
sitting at the Admiralty, for the purpose of making alterations
in the present method of Pursers in the Royal Navy keeping
and rendering their accounts, &c., has finished its labours, anti
the report (which occupies forty folio pages) has been sent to
the Navy Board. The Committee recommend that the per.
sonal pay of Pursers shall be equalized, anti they be allowed
'
to draw for the same, as other officers; that, when serving in
ships of 80 men and under they be allowed a premium of 50
per cent. on their balance-bills, and less in proportion as far as
complements of 130 men, when such premium shall cease.; that
the accounts be made less complex by the abolishment of the
present forms for fresh beef, butter, &c. The Committee also
recommend an increase of half-pay.

KING'S TIIEATRE.—The Opera of Nozzi de
Figaro, was substituted op Saturday for Ric-
ciardo e Zoraide, and the house had a numerous
and brilliant assemblage of the fashionable world.
—The Duchess of KENT, Princess Fconon,
Duke of GLOUCESTER, and a long train of the
higher nobility were present.
Madame VEiTItIS, it seems, has been engaged
for the Ilaytharket Theatre, at a considerable sa-
lary. She is certainly a spirited, accomplished,
and 'attractive actress.

ENGLISH OPERA. Ifoust.—This little Theatre,
during the recess, we understand, has been en-
tirely re-decorated. The columns have been re-gilt
in burnished gold. The upper and lower circles
are covered with a rich scroll ornament in bur-
nished gold, and the first circle of boxes is hung
with a rich green velvet and gold drapery, form-
ing a canopy over the dress boxes. A new ionic
portico is constructing for the front in the Strand,
which is to be completed within a very short
period after the opening of the Theatre. The
only reason that this addition was not completed
before the commencement of the season, has been,
we find, in the difficulty of gaining permission
for its erection.

DEATH OF DOCTOR WARDING, OF CORR.-it
is: ith sincere regret we have to record the death of this amia-
ble gentleman,- who departed this life on Monday night last.
A violent fever, caught by bit attendance in his professional
capacity on some of the convicts in the depot, baffled theinge-
nuity of the best medical advisers, and the most unretnittin
attention on their part, as well as relatives and friends;' and
even the slight hopes that were, entertained for some days last
week of his recovery, in consequence of a partial change; but
a constitution,. though naturally good,- was not proof against
the repeated attacks of fever With which he had been previously
afflicted, and which were on all occasions brought on by his
zeal and anxiety for the recovery of his patients.--(
