LYMINGTON, Nov. 14.—A common brewer of
this town having perceived in the public journals that the pro.
per authorities had acknowledged the right of common brewers
to retail beer, and wishing to give his friends the full benefit of

and good ale at 3d. per quart.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Wednesday last, the
tith instant, about three o'clock in the afternoon, Henry Richard.
son, proprietor and printer of this paper, called at the shop of
Mr. William Wilson, ironmonger, Bridge-street, anti after
some conversation took leave. When he had reached the door,
Mr. Wilson observed him staggering., and sprang over the
counter, and caught hold of him, in time to prevent him
from falling. Medical assistance was instantly procured ; but.
melancholy to relate, all efforts to restore animation proved
ineffectual. The Medical Gentlemen believe, that a blood.
vessel of the heart lied ruptured. He was in the forty.
ninth year of his age. Panegyric here, on the character
of the deceased, may be deemed unbecoming; suffice it there.
fore to say, that his undeviating object was a faithful dis-
charge of the duties incumbent on him, in the sphere of society
in which he moved. To his mourning family and relatives the
loss is irreparable. Those, who knew the warmth and since-
rity of his friendship, will long feel the blank that his death
has occasioned in their circle, and the community has lost a
valuable and useful member, whose firmness of conduct, inte-
grity of principle, and scrupulous sense of honour were com-
bined with u continual flow of cheerfulenefs, that rarely meet in
the tissue individual.—(Berwick Advertiser.)
NCWPORT, NOY...O.—SUDDEN DEATlL—Yesterday the
Court Lee of %Vest Medina Was held at Carisbmoke, when the
dinner, as usual on these occasions, was numerously attended,
and among the guests was Mr. Ingle, grocer, of West Cowes;
(Robert Clarke,
who, on the toast of " Prosperity to Cowes" 'being given by
thechairman
Lgq.), and drank, was rising to
return thanks to tire company (there were about 40 Gentlemen
present), when he dropped a corpse into his chair ! In the
midst of life we are in death."
Yesterday the Court of Session met for the
dispatch of business. Their Lordships and all
the A/embers of the Court wore deep mourn-
ing, out of respect to the memory of the late
MATTHEW Itoss, Esq. Dean of Faculty. The
Commission, appointing JOHN Cr.Ettx,Esq. one
of the fjords of Session, not having arrived, that
Gentleman did not take his seat on the Bench..--

TEE ROYAL NAVY, &c.

PORTSMOUTH, NOT. 15...-. This evening arrived
the Phaeton frigate, Capt. Henry E. P• Sturt, from Vera Cruz

and Havannah, _having left the last-named place on the 28th

September, with Dr. Mackay, a Gentlernantihe had been de-
puted by his Majesty's Goverttn'tapt to exeChge an important
4,nission with the existing Solerntnect of Mexico, which, we
understand, he havmosiltails&tikily effected, Di..'iMackay

Landed at 7 P. M., and set oil for the Foreign Office.—We learn

by her that a French fleet of five sail of the line, two large
razees, and eight large frigates, under the command of Admiral
Bergier,
,was lying at Martinique and Guadeloupe. What
object they have in view had not appeared; it is not asserted
that they have any troops on board, but it is known that the
garrisons of these two Islands are very numerous. The Thra-
cian was at the Havannah.

On Wednesday, the Alacrity, 10, Captain Yorke, was towed
out of the harbour (the wind being foul), by the Comet steam-
vessel ; she was next day paid wages, and yesterday afternoon
sailed for the Mediterranean station. On Tuesday the Victor,
10, Captain Prickett, will go out of the harbour, and sail soon
after for the Coast of Africa. Lieut.-Colonel Nicoll*, R. 31.,
appointed to succeed Major John Campbell, as Governor of
the Isle of Ascension, for the next three years, will go out in
her a passenger.
The Phaeton left Jamaica so long since as the 25th of June.
She has brought dispatches for Government, and three millions
of dollars, and a quantity of Cochineal, on Merchants' account.
We regret to hear that the Type and Bustard have been ex-
tremely unhealthy, at West Key; as have also the American
squadron and garrison at West Key, where scarcely a person
was left alive; Commodore Porter had returned to the United
States, himself dangerously ill. He had loss thirty-six Officer.
The Eden, Captain John Lawrence, C.ll. sailed from Ha-
vannali, for Barbadoes, eight days before the Phaeton, and es-
corted a convoy through the Gulph, three of which ships, viz.
the Britannia, Posthumous, and George Bickerton, the Phaeton
came up with and spoke in lat. 33. 44. N. long. 64. 38. W.—
The ships communicated that they had, after clearing the
Gulph, experienced the tail of a hurricane, in which they were
all in imminent danger and separated. It is likely that most
of the ships have put into New York.
The Phaeton brings accounts that Piracy and Slave Trading
are still practised with impunity at /lava:mail, and will con-
tinue to be so while Cuba remains in its present state.—The
Jamaica merchants are all violently indignant against the pro-
posed 'measure of emancipation, and West India property is
depreciating every where. Should we (says our most respecta-
ble informant) have entered into a Commercial Treaty 'with
the Mexican Government, and at the same time obtain posses.
sion of the island of Cuba, or even a favourable treaty with its
inhabitants, the West India Islands will hardly be worth
cultivating. The merchants, under this belief, are disposing of
their property whereever they can find purchasers.
The Phaeton had a most tempestuous passage borne, in which
all her topsails repeatedly blew out of the bolt rope. She was
obliged to put into St. Michael's to refit, where she learnt that
Lord Cochrane was cruising off the Western Islands, in the
Don Pedro, 78, Captain Crossby, and had taken a number of
Portuguese prizes. The Phaeton spoke the Ganges and Superb,
on Wednesday, off Falmouth, having a fair wind for Gibraltar
and the West Indies. The new ship Ganges, had proved her
decided superiority in sailing (for which quality the Superb
was much prized), sparing
.the Superb her gilded sails going
large. The Plireton experienced strong easterly winds since
Tuesday last. She anchored at St. Helens only at sun-set this
evening.
The Cambridge, 80, Capt. Maling, is expected to sail from
this port for South America in about 10 days. It is expected
that the events in Chili and Peru will render necessary an in.
crease of force round Cape Horn, in which case, a line-of.
battle ship will bo stationed at Callao. The Commissioners
arid Consula lately appointed, will proceed to their respective
stations by the Cambridge.
It is understood that Admiral Sir James Saumarez, Baronet,
0.C.8., will succeeed to the command at Plymouth, which will
shortly become vacant.
Capt. Lord J. Townshend is appointed to the Lively frigate,
at Chatham, for foreign service ; Lieut. R. Crozier (son of
R. B. Crazier, Esq. of Western ottage, Freshwater, Isle of
Wight) also to that ship ; and Lieut. J. W. Young, to the
Harrier.
The Antelope, convict depot, commanded by Lieut. Hire,
will sail next week, with 300 convicts, to be employed in the
Naval Works at Bermuda.
On Thursday sailed the Sir Edward Paget, Geary (Lieut.)
for Bengal, and the Barkworth, Cotgrave (Lieut.) for Bom.
bay ; the former having on hoard the following passengers :

dia; Capt. Bradley, 4th Bengal Native Infantry; Lieut. An-
son, 11th Dragoons; Lieut. Motile, 4th P.'ngal Native Infan-
try; Lieut. Vincent, 9th Benal Native Infantry; C. Pullen,

Free Merchant, and Professor of Oriental Languages ; Roger
Winter, Esq. Barrister, Secretary to the Lord Chief Justice,

cutta); Lady Pullen, Mrs. Bradley, Mrs. Vincent, and Miss
Wallis.
On Tuesday the Basilisk cutter, Lieut. D. Dickson, arrived
from Duhlin, with 07,0001. in old Irish silver coin, for the
Mint. She sailed on Thursday for the River.
On Wednesday the Duchess of York, Oxley, from Cowes,
for Barbadoes, with 13 officers and 176 soldiers, for the garri.
son there.
The Spartiate, Admiral Sir 0. Eyre, arrived at Madeira on
the 9t October, and sailed on the 10th for Rio Janeiro.
PLY AlOl.l TH, Nov. 13.—Arrived the Partridge, Reynard,
and Providence, tenders, from various semices.—Reinain the
Sybille, for the Mediterranean, and the Hussar, for South
America. The Genoa is taken into dock. Government have
now actually purchased the land at Devil's Point, Stonehouse,
for building a new Brewery and Victualling-office for the Navy,
which will be commenced in the coming spring.
