The Inhabitants of Gosport and Alverstokc testi-
fied their loyalty and attachment to their Sovereign
by every mark of respect and public festivity. A
very considerable subscription, under the patronage
of the Rev. Mr. Bingham, was raised, and the poor,
to the extent of 3000 persons, were most liberally
supplied with 'elle best ox beef, bread, and beer.—

The brig Industry was wrecked on the night of the
15th instant, near the Dursley Islands ; of nine men
who were on board, every soul perished. The crew
consisted of eight men, and the ninth was, as our in-
formant states, a Jewish Ralibi, who was passenger.
This person's character was ascertained by some trunks
that were picked up, one or more of which belonged
to him, and the remainder of the crew. The Indus-
try was from Malta.

as John Kinglake, Esq. of Saitmoor House, in the
county of Somerset, was ascending the bank of the
river Parrat, oppolite his residence, for the purpose of
going to a neighbour's house, it is probable that he
missed his footing, and, from the bank being very
narrow, the night dark, and the tide extremely high,
that he was precipitated into the river, and unfortu-
nately drowned. The most careful and almost un-
remitted search for the body, during► several days, has
been unsuccessfully made. His walking-stick was
found the following morning, on the eide of the bank,
towards the river. On his person, at the fatal period,
were a gold watch and a pocket-book, containing
Bank-notes to a considerable amc.unt.

of their C:Ecers. A dinner was given by some of
the respectable tradesmen in the market-house, to se-
veral hundred persons, where the greatest order and
regularity prevailed. There were also dinners at the
Crown, Dolphin, India Arms, and principal Inns ;
many convivial toasts, sentiments, and songs, which
were written expressly for the occasion, were given,

and the whole day was enjoyed in the utmost haimony
and unanimity. In the'evening there was a ball at
the Crown, attended by upwards of a hundred of the
most respectable inhabitants of Gosport and the vi-
cinity.
