LEITH, AUGUST 6.

The intended harbour at the Troon will be very
soon begun. The forming of the course for the iron
railway to Kilmarnock has been already begun..

the crew of a Danish schooner privateer, captured
on the coast of Sweden (and sent some time since
into a Swedish port), and marched under a military
escort to Greenlaw prison.—The Aurora, SADLER, of
London, from the Greenland Seas, with 58 whales,
arrived in Brassay Sound 20th ult. said to be the most

from Britain since that fishery commenced. Also
arrived in Brassay Sound 24th ult, his Majesty's ship
ARlADNE.—Arrived at Berwick, the Lively, Captain
Curran, from Greenland, with 25 whales, 70 seals,

This morning Jamaica Papers to the 18th June,
were received in town. We are sorry to find that

a serious disturbance took place at St. Ann's, Bar-
badoes, among the soldiers of the Ist West India
regiment, in which Major DORLEY and Adjutant

ELus, lost their lives, before order was restored.--

Sixteen of the soldiers were brought to a Court Mar-

tial—fifteen of whom were found guilty—seven were

ordered to be shot on the Bth, and the rest were re-
spited.

Cordova, so long famous among the sons of Cris-
pin, will be more renowned than ever, for the ha-
thering lately received there by DUPONT.

Government, we understand, intend to allow a
number of half-pay Officers to volunteer their services
in Spain and Portugal, to assist in the organization of
the patriotic masses. They are to retain their half-
pay in this country, and to receive pay from the Spa-
nish or Portuguese Governments from the date of
their arrival in those countries.
