All the dock-yard lighters, and other small craft
thereto belonging, are ordered from the several ports
to Flushing, to bring home army store;. The quan-
tity of stores to be embarked, belonging to the de-
partment of the Storekeeper-General of the Army
alone, amounts to 40,000 tons measurement. The
only two transports lying at Portsmouth are fitting
to proceed immediately to Calais, for the conveyance
home of troops. The utmost exertion will be em-
ployed to withdraw our forces from, and finally eva-
' came the territory of France. ,
Friday se'nnight, an Officer of the Royal Artillery
attending a General Court-Martial at Edinburgh
Castle, gave his horse to his servant to return with
him to Leith Fort. On his way, in consequence of
some labourers throwing weeds over a garden-wall,
the horse took fright, and setting off at full speed, he
menuntered a cart, by which the servant had his leg
broken, and some of the ribs of the horse were stove
in. The servant being thrown down, the animal gal-
loped nearly a mile with his entrails hanging out,
when he dropped down and died immediately.

So great has been the influx of shipping into the
port of Hull during the last few weeks, that it has
been with the utmost difficulty vessels have been able
td get either into or out of the Old Dock. Fortu-1
nately the weather has been calm, otherwise, from
the crowded state of the entrance of the River at
Hull' and of the harbour generally, great injury
must have been sustained.

The Surrey, RAINIE, with 170 convicts for Botany
Bay ; Providence, Moor:, with Mails for the Cape
and Madras;. and all the other outward-bound ships
at Portsmouth, except the Dolphin Dutch frigate,
for the West Indies, sailed on Saturday on their re-
spective voyages. The Dolphin was to sail yesterday

The debt of Holland, for a population of two ma-
' lions, is forty millions of francs of nate ; and, not-
wilhstanding her Consolidated 5 per Cents. are at 90.
AuFstria having borrowed in Holland 90 millions of
besides -a debt at home, and in Franckfott,
fiefs an incalculable sun, yet her 5 per Cents. 'are at
79. with the prospect of Osing. All the. World knovis
how enormous the debt of England is—yet her 5 Per
Cents. are at 105. Russia has borroWed in Holland
a capital of 90 millions of florins, about twelve mil-
lions francs of rente, not including what she owes at
home, and to England; and her 5 per Cents. are at
89 The French 5 per Cents. Consolidated are worth
89, whilst we are only desirous of fixing them at 80,
a rate satisfactory to all the world, and which forms
a just medium between the product of property and
the chances of commerce; at this rate, far from being
a national evil, the debt becomes a true reserve, a
truly National Bank, the most useful, in short, of
all institutions.

SINGULAR CASE OF HOVSE-RREAKINO AND RON.
nzay.—About two months ago, WILLIAM o.trt.ow,
Esq. of Camden-street, Camden Town, left the Me-,
tropolis for France: Soon after his departure his wife went into
the country on a visit to her friends. She left the house, In
which there was a great deal of valuable property, to the care
of the man-eervant, whose name is Grainge, and of a confides.
tial maid-servant, who had lived in the family four years. On,
Wednesday week Mrs. Cuirow returned from the country, and I
was satisfied that everything was correct. She went to bed at
her usual hour, but was roused out of her sleep at half-past two
o'clock in the morning, by a violent knocking at the door, and
a terrible cry from the watchman, intimating that there were
robbers in the house. When she raised the window, the watch.
111311 added to her terrors by telling her that he saw a strange,
man Witka light In the kitchen, and that no doubt there were
others in the house with a bad Intention. Mrs. Ctutovr washy
this time joined by the manam vant, who was awoke by the
violence with which the watchman communicated his apprehen-
*one: They proceeded from the chamber, and were met by
maid-eervant, who appeared dreadfully terrified, and told
arm that while she lay In bed two Men came Into the room,
One of whom bad his face blackened, and that the man With the
k face stood over her with a pistol in his hand, threatening
to. blow her brains Out If she spoke a word, while the other,
who had a white hat on, took the candle, and went dowri stairs
to plunder. The robber who was guard over her was, she said,
disturbed at the noise made by the watchman, and after swear-
ing.at Ur,. ian off. • The man knew nothing of any -a- thew
circumstances : he had been asleep, he said, till the cry of rob-
bers awoke him. At the beck of the preinlies, a ladder inn

trance and escape had been effected. Mrs. at:tow* did not

seeped, until a few days bid elapsed. She employed Smith the
foirole, who carefully viewed the premises, and was surprised
de noing‘that there were no footmarks in the gardens by which
the robbers were supposed to have nor nor any marks of
violence on the outer doors. The'Offeer in passing throUgh
