'We yesterday received Barhadoes Papers to the
12th tilt. and Quebec to the 14th. On the 12th
the Sandwich Packet reached Barbadoes, with
London. Papers to the lOdh of May The grand
Sessions of the island terminated on the I lth of
June, with an Address from the Grand Jury, its
which we are happy to remark the following just
and animated testiinony to the merits of the Go-
vernor, Lord Combermere
" We cannot omit this opportunity of dean,.
ing the gratitude which the country feels to our
most gracious and revered Sovereign, for the ap-
pointment of a Nobleman to the Government of
this Colony, whose valorous achievements in war
will live to the latest posterity I—whose mild and
equitable Administration will be held in perpetual
remembrance by the country—and whose benefi.i.
chi' and zealous exertions for the interests and
welfare of the islands, in founding and establish-
ing a Society for the improvement of the rising
generation in moral and religions attainment
will ever be most fondly cherished in the memory
of a generous and grateful people."
It is to be feared that this happy union of sen-
timent between the 'Governor and Governed will
r,ot long continue ; for the latter have unfortu-
nately got among them a Newspaper lately set up
upon reforming principles, and the natural conse-
quence has been a Public Meeting of soi disant
" Friends of "Liberty and of a Free Press." Tnese
Gentkmen,• too, in humble imitation of their
great prototypes in England, have published their
" Resolutions," in the course of which they de-
dare that When they look to their clod institu-
tions they see but few objectxto.cheer them : they
see much to regret, and much to be amended."
Such are the comfortable doctrineiof Reformers,
all the world over !

DESPRRATE 9nTl3Aqfi.--On Monday night last
a party of lancers; who were stationed at Pad=
dington, were drinking at the-Cross Keys, in Pad-
dington-road, with .some brick-makers and na-
vigators, between whom a quarrel enseted, and
the former shut some of the brick-Makers in a
room, and would not let them out; upon which
the navigarors.threatened the lancers, if they did
nut immediately release them on refusing to do
%%hie!), a desperate tight ensued, in which the
soldiers used their naked swords, and the others
wh,teVer they could lay hold of. .The affray was
must desperate for a length of time, and et.ded iii
several of the soldiers being seriously hurt, an►l
they, in using their sabres, cut and wounded se-
veral of their opponents in a dreadful manner, so
as to require medical assistance. One of the
soldiers, named Rose, was apprehended, but the
others all escaped. Yesterday lie was brought to
Marlborough-street Police-officer and several
brick-makers, with their wounded heads and arms
bound up. The soldier was taken belote a Ma-
gistrate-and discharged, on an intimation that the
case was settled.

NiovitY, JULY 17.—MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT
Yesterday morning Miss Mary Templeton, (laugh-
ter of Mr. Thomas Templeton, of North-street,
and Miss Mary Macklin, daughter of Mrs.
Macklin, Sugar hand, proceeded to the Green
Bank, for the purpose of bathing. It is supposed
that the young ladies had entered into the current
of the river, and been hurried into the deep wa-
ter. They were observed in this imminent (Lin-
ger by Me. Francis Haughey of Derrabeg, ‘vho,
regardless of personal risk, precipitated himself
into the stream, and with great promp!itude
caught Miss Macklin, whom he brought to hoof
in sefety. He instantly made an effort to save
Miss Templeton, and fondly hoped he had. seized
her by the hair at the moment she had sunk under
water ; but when lie raised his hand, he found
that he had only grasped a crooked comb, with
which she had bound up her tresses. Meanwhile
the hotly was'huriled away by the retiring tide,
and was not found till two hours after the fatal
accident, and then at a great distance from the
spot where she bad sunk. All efforta to restore
to life this young woman, who was not mote
ilan 18 years of age, proved fruitless.—(Newry
Telegraph.)

Queen's Head, Chartotte-street, IVhitechapel, on
