NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

( From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 15.—The following extract from a
letter just received contains, we believe, the latest informa-
tion from the coast of Peru :

" ISLAY (SOUTH AMERICA), JUNE 13, 1834.—The
Conway, 28, Captain Eden, left Valparaiso the 21st of May
last, for the coast of Peru. When off the north point of
the bay, she encountered a most tremendous gale, with un-
common heavy and sudden squalls, termed in these parts a
%Northern,' which lasted nearly the whole of two days,
and but for the superiority of the ship in beating to wind-
ward, she must inevitably have gone on shore, having but
bare room to weather the rocks. She arrived at this place
(Islay, the seaport of Arequipa) on the Ist of June, for the
protection of British interest, a most violent contention
having taken place between the old and uew Governments
of Peru, during which a battle was fought on the plains of
Arequipa, which has put the revolution for the present at
an end. Nearly 1,300 men were left dead on the field ;
but the troops of General Gomero, after gaining the victory,
actually fled, panic struck, to the Government of Arelogoso,
and the General San Roman and Gomero were obliged to
seek shelter in Bolivia. Though rival collisions are very
frequent every respect is paid to the English and their in-
terests. The Conway expects to be at Valparaiso the be-
ginning of September, when the Samarang, 28, Captain C.
Paget, leaves for England. The Challenger, 28, Captain
M. Seymour, is at Callao, collecting freight for that ship.
The Conway expects to leave the Pacific for England in
May or June, 1835. This ship is quite healthy."
Yesterday the Sardinian frigate Regina, sailed for Sheer-
ness. The Tweed, Captain Hamilton, came into harbour
on Monday, to be paid off.
At Spithead—Waterloo convict ship.
In Harbour—Victory, Excellent, Royal George, Sala-
mander, Tweed, and Braganza, Portuguese frigate.
On Tuesday the Waterloo arrived from the river to em-
bark passengers for Van Diemen's Land. The David
Clark, for Bengal, will embark passengers here in a few
days. The Mary, transport, arrived on Wednesday from
Gibraltar, with the remainder of the 23d Regiment on board.
The Esperanze schooner, brought to England by the
Curlew, on a charge of piracy, has been given up to the
Portuguese Government. Lieut. Richards, with a party
of seamen of the Victory, will take her to Lisbon.
On Tesday the 'Etna, Lieut. Arlett, and the Raven cut-
ter, Lieut. Kellet, sailed for Madeira and Teneriffe, whence
they will proceed to survey the coast of Africa to the north-
ward of Cape Bojador, and thence the line of coast to the
Straits of Gibraltar.

The College of Surgeons have recently given notice that
in future they will require from all medical students design-
ing to pass an examination before their corporation, the in-
denture of apprenticeship, register of birth, certificate of
moral character, and preliminary education, and attendance
on public dispensaries in the neighbourhood, if such exist.
These must be registered at this time for examination two
years hence, or, ijfact, as soon as they commence attend-
ing lectures in London.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN THE REGENT'S PARK.
On Friday evening, about five o'clock, as Mrs. Wilks, the
Lady of a Gentleman of large fortune, residing in Avenue
Villa, Regent's Park, was proceeding home unattended,
when near the Marquis of Hertford public-house, which is
situated in a secluded part of the above Park, she heard the
footsteps of a person stealing softly behind her, which she
supposed to be those of a female ; but scarcely had she tittle
to turn round when, greatly to her surprise and terror, an ill-
looking fellow darted suddenly upon her, and seizing her by
the arms pinioned them behind her, and thrust her person
against some iron railings. The villain having thus secured
his victim drew a large case knife from his pocket, which he
brandished aloft, swearing that he would murder her instantly
if she refused to deliver her money, adding that money he
wanted and money he would have. The terrified Lady im-
plored him to spare her life and he should have all she posses.
sed, and she instantly delivered to him her silk purso, contain-
ing cash to some amount. The fellow did not appear satisfied,
said he would have more, and again brandished his weapon
aloft, at which the Lady shrieked, when fortunately at this
instant footsteps were heard at a distance, and the fellow made
off with his booty, leaving the Lady more dead than alive.
Mrs. Wilks described the fellow as short and thick-sot, wear-
ing a formidable pair of black whiskers. Information was
conveyed to Inspector Jones of the S division, who has been
indefatigable in his endeavours to apprehend him, but without
effect. .
