ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE.

On Thursday last the Royal Naval College and
School of Naval Architecture, at Portsmouth, were
inspected by the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Met-
vILLE (Governor of the Institution), Lieut.. Governor
GIFFA RD, Admiral Sir G. CANIPB etc, Commissioner
the Honourable Sir GEORGE GREY,, Bart.,and Captain
HOLLF.S. The students of the former establishment
were examined by Professor hot" in mathematics,
astronomy, and navigation; the result of which pro-
duced an expression of his Lordship's great satisfac-
tion. Those of the latter were examined by the Pro-
fessor in the higher branches of the mathematics, and
in the theory of the construction of ships ; and by Mr.
FINCHAM, the superintendant, in the several branches
of their profession. His Lordship having evinced his
approbation, recommended in the strongest manner
the coalition of theory, practice, and economy ; such
union being of the utmost consequence in that ab-
struse, ingenious, and important art—Naval Archi-
tecture—theory in itself being hut a speculative ex-
tension of the mind, whew nnaided by practice, but,
when supported by it, is conducive to render prac:—
tice perfect, and to remedy the defects to which it is
still liable. As a further incitement to the exertions
of chit useful establishment, his Lordship spoke in the
most satisfactory terms of those who had already been
educated there; who, front their scientific abilities, as
reported from his Majesty'si Dock-yards, had recom-.
mended themselves to his particular patronage. On
Friday his Lordship and Mr. Surveyor SEPPINGS in•
spected the ordinary at the port, after which he re-
turned to the Admiralty, and Mr. &CITING. set off
for Plymouth.

A tenet. from Carlisle, dated June the 19th, says,
1" The Weavers in this city and neighbourhood are
pretty generally at work—finishing the pieces they
had in the kens."
Letters from Vera Cruz, dated 31st March, men-
tion, that Mr. Pant, the British Commissioner, had

which was to be•shipped in the Svistu.e, Captain W.

THE REVOLUTIONS or iS not gene-
rally known, we believe, that this Work of the cele-
brated DE CHATEMYBRIAND, of which a New Edi-
tion has lately appearedlwa.s written by him during
his exile in England at the period of the French Re-
volution. It is certainly deserving of the attention
not only of Statesmen and Philosophers, but of all
'who feel interested is the welfare of the•comnwnity
in which they live. '
CbRN-MARKKA MARK-LANE, JUNE 21.
Our Market was well supplied with Wheat to-day
from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk : early in the mcraii g
the demand was brisk, and.sales of fine quality we e
then made at an advance of 4s. per qr. on Monday's
prices, in expectation of an advance in flour, but
that not taking place, the Trade became heavy about
noon, and the morning prices were hardly supper.ed,
for only picked samples could be got off at the above
advance, and some quantity remained on hand at the
close of the market. Grinding Barley is Is per
quarter dearer, but there is no amendment in the
malting sorts. Oats are is. lower, in consequence if
very large arrivals from abroad. In other articles Lo
alteration. Current prices as under
