This day the Right Honourable Sir WM. SCOTT,
proceeded to the adjudication of the following cases :
Melpomene, Daubigoy master.—This was a question of da-
mage set up by the claimants, against the captors. It appeared, that

the Warden Ledge. and received sense damage. There was also
a futther charge of damage in respect to the cargo. The Court,

Bershire, Garrandmaster.—This was a question of salvage.—
The vessel in going into Woodbridge River, got on the beach ;

dition of 61. as a remuneration to the salvors for their services.

There * a tornado, at an early hour on Thurs-
day morning at Enfield, which did considerable da-
mage in the neighbourhood.—About three o'clock, a
whirlwind took two trees in St. James's Pork. nearly
opposite the Palace, stripped them completely of their
branches, and left them Ike Sava& It iras sin.
gular, that, at the same moment, there was hardly a
breath of air to be felt out of its range. A person
who was on the spot, compared it, as to size and ve-
locity, to that of a water-spout. It made a noise like
the crash of a falling house, and raised a cloud of dust
so dense, as to obstruct Al vision..-Its influence was
also felt in the Strand, near Temple-bar. Whirl-
winds, though of less force, took place; in the course
of the day, in various parts of the town ; and again
about six o'clock yesterday morning, which subsided
in a refreshing breeze of several hours continuance.

The heat of the last three days was +so great as to
have one effect of the very worst weather in winter,
that of keeping every body out of the streets, who was
not passing upon business. The Strand, at two and
three o'clock, was as little crowded as in a shower of
rain or snow. No belles but sempstresses ; hardly any
thing above tradesmen, except lawyers returning from
the greater heats of Nisi Prius. At the time when
the sun enfilades the street,,and leaves no shade, the
reflection from the pavement and the houses was
,scarcely endurable. The street was an oven, only
open at top. And when the shade came it was no
more to the eye than to the feeling, for the walls had
been so parched, that they required no sun for conti-
nuing to bake the passengers.
*like-herir- or the weather has been found so oppre.s•
sire for the last five days, that not less than fifty mail-
coach and post horses have been killed by it in their
work upon the great North Road.

The 2d battalion tithe 52d embarked this morning
at Ramsgate; the 45d also embarks at the same place
this day ; and the 97th to-mol-rtrr.
The 2cl battalion of the 9th was ordered for embar
kation this day, but is for the present countermanded,
although it is presumed they will shortly follow.
There is no time fixed for the embarkation of the
Guards at Chatham, but it may be daily expected to
take place.

Part of the 95th, or Rifle Corps, also goes with this
Expedition.

THE ARMY.
The Marquis CORNWALLIS arrived at the Ring's
Head inn, Canterbury, on Wednesday evening, to take
the command of his regimcwt, the East Suffolk Mai.
tia, at present stationed in that city.
Thursday se'nnight, General LEE arrived at Lime-
rick from England, to succeed General MITCHELL, in
the command of his Majesty's forces in that district,
who proceeded for Dublin, on his way to his residence
at Fisherton, near Salisbury. General Mircitett.
will return to Ireland in a few months, and take upon
him the command of Bandon District.

DUBLIN, JULY 11.
The 23d Light Dragoons expect to return to
England daily ; they were in hopes of joining the
expedition going to Spain. The Greys, it is said,
are to supply their place in this garrison, and to be
put in brigade with the Royals, which, from the con-
trast, will have a most beautiful effect.

Yesterday, at Monison's Hotel, Brgadier General
SL DE gave a great dinner to the Officers of the Ist
Dragoons, on their at rival in Dublin, (the regiment of
which he is Lieu' t,Colonel) : to which were invited
Lord HARP.INGTONI the Staff, and all the Gencral
Officers in the town. A great number of loyal and
constitutional toasts were drank, and particularly the
Spanish Patriots, and success to their cause.
