April; his Majesty's ship SPARTAN, arrived from the
Mediterranean,—The Countess of lorley Southsea-
man returned safe to this port on Friday morning,
after an absence of twenty-five months. This ship
was the first fitted out here for the Southern fisheries,
and is the first also to return and demonstrate the
success of such speculations, having 1900 barrels of
the best oil on board. 04 the 19th ultimo, about
100 leagues west of Scilly, she fell in with a large
sperm whale, v.'ch being fortunately taken, afforded
eighty-five barrels. The tail fin has been brought
here, in remembrance of this singular event: it mea-
sures sixteen feet across, and weighs nearly a ton.
From the commencement to the termination of the
voyage, not a single death, illness, or casualty, has
occurred among the crew, which sufficiently attests•
the excellence of the equipment, and the judicious re
gulations of the commander. f.

• Captain FITZ CLARENCE arrived yesterday in town
with Dispatches overland from India. He left Nag-
poor on the sth of January, at which time we are
enabled to state, for the consolation of their friends,
that all the wounded Officers were then doing well,
k and that several of them were nearly recovered.—
The Officers who were wounded at Corogaum, under
Captain STAUNTON, were also doing.welf on the 29th
of the same month, at Seroor.

Saturday, the wind having shifted from the East,
the BULWARK, which had been detained at Chatham,
by its long prevalence in that quarter, sailed from
that port to•join the squadron of guard-ships en its
two months cruize in the Channel.

A series of Barbadoe3 Papers' to the 4th of April
have arrived. At that period, the island was per-
fectly healthy. The House of Asseinbly has voted
the sum of £9OO towards alleviating the distresses of
the inhabitants of St. Lucie, arising from the late
hurricane, which desolated that island.

" Bridge Town, March 21.
" The brig Maria, Leith master, belonging to this port from
Gibraltar, bound to Para, was totally lost at the mouth of that
river, on the 9th ult. The Captain preserved the specie that
was on board, and with the crew, reached Para, in the brig's
boat, but they were unable to save any of their clothing.
" By accounts received from Comps, it appears that a French
squadron, which at first was supposed to have been Spanish,
passed Santa Martha at the end of December last, from Cadiz.
bound to Porto Bello, for spode, on account of the Govern-
meat of Spain, with which they were to proceed to the Havan-
na'', and thence to Cadiz."
YESTERDAY 1 Another TWENTY THOUSAND POUND
Prize was sold by CARROLL, in One Half, Two
Eighths, and Four Sixteenths. The Number of the
Ticket is 9,481, and the fortunate Holders may re-
ceive their Money on Demand.—This is the Third
Prize of £20,000 Sold by CARROLL in the last Five
Months. • The highest Prize was also Sold by him on
the First Day : we may therefore anticipate that he
will maintain his station at the Head of the Poll on,
FUMY, !6th JUNE, when the Lottery will finish.

Wssrutusraft.—Mr. HUNT has been pursuing
similar course of canvassing to-day which he exhi-
bited yesterday. About twelve o'clock he made his
appearance at Charing-cross, and harangued some
hundreds of the lower ranks, who followed in his •
train, after which he proceeded to Wardour-street,
for a similar purpose.
COLCHESTER.—This morning we received accounts
of the final closing of the Poll fur the above City,
when it stood as follows:
Wildman .• •• 613
Harvey • - 303
Wright - + 160
Mr. Viritmir then addressed the Electors, thanking
them for the support he had received ; but from the
state of the Poll, having no prospect of ultimate
success, he therefore begged leave to decline any
further contest. Mr. WrILDMAN and Mr. HAAvev
were therefore declared duly elected.

The death of the Right Hon. JOHN Haim As.
DINGTON, late M.P. for Harwich, and Under Secre,
tary of State for. the Home Department, will be long
regretted. We are certain that we only speak the
universal sense, when we assert, that the Country
could scarcely suffer a greater loss, whether we con-
sider him in the publicicapacity of a Senator, and a
man of the most general and useful talents, or in pri•
vate life, as an ornament to society in every relative
duty, and in every office of the most active humanity,
friendship, and benevolence. The unremitting atten-
tion which he paid to the duties of his office, hastened
the fatal event, which has deprived his citntrjr of
one of its•best members. He has left a.widivr, two
sons, and a daughter, to lament his loss, and. imi-
tate his virtues.

Lord and Lady AMHERST gave an glegant enter-
tainment, on Saturday, to the Duke anti Duchess of
LEEDS, Count and Countess LVDOLF, atetkii3bassador
from the Netherlands, Lord SrnainAvEsi , Baron
FAGIL, Marquis of METER, Sir R.MTARLAN,
Mr. SMITH, &c. at their house in Lower Grosve-
nor-street.

M. GARNERIN and his daughter, Mademoiselle
ELIZA, haye been set at liberty at Madrid, but they
have given up their intention of making aerostatical
experiments in that capital, aual have arrived at
Bourdeaux.

VAtisnALL.—The general attractions of Vauxhall
Gardens become every night more and more irre-
sistible. On Monday, as on every other evening
this season, the Gardens presented an animated pic-
ture of crowded nobility and fashion. There is no
source of public recreation which at this season of
the year could be more desirable ; and the truly
astonishing performance of Madame SAQUI merits
that approbation which it universally experiences..
The Vocal Selection, and the display of Fireworks,
exceeded our warmest anticipation. We noticed,
among other fashionables, on Monday evening—
The Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's, the Matquines of
Stafford, Exeter, and Winchester, the Marchioness of Bath,
Vi.count Dudley and Ward, Lords Barrington, Deitiy, 'Yar-
mouth, and Kildare, Lady Hampden Williams, Lady Olendoff,
Sir W. W. Wynne, &c.
Wednesday morning, about ten o'clock, a fire
broke out in the village of Combhay, near Bath, and
continued raging through the greater part of the
day. It destroyed fife cottages, two hay-mows, two
waggons and a cart ; together with the stables and
aoach-house belonging to Mrs. LEIGH. The distress
of the poor labourers may be readily. conceived.
As a servant man of Mr. W. Cimixt, of Cpacken
. orpe Mill, was returning home, about twelve a-
"ght, two men came up to him a little out of Apt
pteby, and demanded his money ; he made some sor
of reply, and Was immediately knocked down—the:
then rifled his pockets, cut his throat in a shocking
manner, 'and threw him over the hedge into a small
plantation, where he was found about four
on the following morning, but not dead.' His
despaired of.
Saturday sennight, out of eight very valuable
rams, the property of JOHN BUCKLEY, Gent. of :
manton Hill, near Loughborough (which were
tended for exhibition on the Monday followink,,
seven were wantonly ham-stringed and otherwise
cruelly mutilated. Mr. B. had been instrumental
bringing some one or more of these nocturnal
dators to justice for poaching, &c. and they
retorted upon his activity by wantonly destroying
property.
CORN EXCHANGE, MARE-LANE, JUNE 17.
had but little doing in the Wheat trade to-day,
but few buyers at market, and prices are rather
than on Monday. Ilne fresh Barley, being
fully supports its price ; but there is no demand
the inferior qualities. Oats are Is. per quarter d
and Beans and Peas went off on quite as good
as on Monday.
