The Officers and ships' companies of:the ships
at this Port, received the Thanks of the Lords
of the Admiralty, and thOse of the Commander
in Chief here, for their prompt 'exertions in
extinguishing the.fire on board the Cossack, lying
in the Boat-hiise Baton. of ,the Dock-yard.-..-
Sir Edward Thornbrough was himself preset",
and gave all the necessary orders to the Officers
of the ships, and but for Whose exertions the
consequence must have been fatal ; she was ly-
ing where, she was surrounded by store-houses,
built of wood; and the heat was so great as
to be imposiible to stand between them and-
the fire, and nothing but the activity of the
Navy could so Soon hare stopped it. The engines
of the ships were itt the highest order pOssible, and
of n►ust essential service. The First Lieutenant of
the Queett Charlotte (whose boats were first at the
fire) nearly lost his life, as he must have fallen
into the fire when the quarter-deck, where he was
from the first, gave way, loid he not been caught
by Mr. Gilchrist, Midshipman of the Venerable,
who very tnucl► distinguished himself by his exer-
tions the whole time.

Verses ascribed to Lady livuox are.now sold
in the same publication with his Lordship's Fare-
well, &c.: a friendly punster says he is glad to see
them again in the same sheets.

The Duke Da LA CUSTER, who, on Saturday
last, after taking his final leave. of the PRINCI:
REGENT, set out from London to return to Paris
after an absence of 26 years, will be long remem-
bered and as long respected in England. When
his Royal Master first emigrated, the Doke accom-
partied him, and raised a regiment (the Loyal Erni..
grants), which distinguished itself in many brilliant
actions, and was always foremost in the hour of
danger. This corps was AliOrtrided in ISO,
when the Duke retired to London upon his half•
pay as Colonel in the British army, and Jived es.
teemed among his numerous eircleof private friends,
until the service of his Xing again called him into
active life. About eleven years ago, he became
tie accredited agent of Loots XVIII. to transact
business with our Court, the most confidential si-
tuation in which his. Sovereign could then place
him, anti to which he was particularly suited
by his many qualities, and by none less than
by his conviction that upon the success of England
,depended that of his own cause. After the iestora-
lion of the House of BOORrum in ISl,Lieffected by
British valour and perseverance.; he remained here
as Ambassador from France, a distinction due to
him on every account, and his nomination was high-
ly acceptable to the Government and people of. this
Empire. The ;)tike de la CHATRU is the represen-
tative of the Princes DK DEGLS, once Sovereigns'
of the Duchy of Berri, distinguished likeitimsell
by their valoar and loyalty, and honoured by
marks .of personal illustration. It is remarkable
.that,' for a century and a half, the Chiefs or the
alternate generaticips of his family have fallen in
battle.

performed on tVednesday his under, the three-

selection was ekcellent, but Mr. ab-
sence Wa4 a loss not ti) be supplied. in come-
s-invitee Of his illuets; the fine duet •"rhe Lotto is
Alan of War" was left out, and in every part of
the Concert the want of his powerful assistance
was sensibly felt. Mr. Duruset appeared for the
first time, and sang the beautiful duet of Marcello,
4t Qual Anetente," with Miss Stephens. The
thoi (uses, as usual, were chosen with the best
taste.

About eight o'clock in the morning of. Saturday
last, a shucking accident happened in the Willing-
ton Pit, at Walbottle Colliery, the property of
Messrs. PoTTs anti Co. near Newcastle, in which
were at work 120 men and boys. At it consi-
doable distance from the Shaft, the carbnnated
hydrot.en gas took fire, and, like lightning, ex-
tended with terrific fury through -the various
excavations, to a distance nf nearly 200 yards
in One continued flame; when, 'fortunately, its
violence was arres=ted by a strong current of
atmospheric atr, deseentling from the Blucher
Pit ; but, alas ! not until its effects had already
been too severely felt ; for, in less than half an
hour, three men and eleven boys were drawo to
the surface, each exhibiting a melancholy spec
tack. They were immediately placed tinder sur-
gical care, and every hope is now entertained of
tick recovery,
