By letters received from Canton, we learn that the
remaining part of the wreck of the Hon. Company's
ship amp:arose, that was burnt on the 12t1. Feb-
ruary, wag said on the 25th of the URIC month, for
19,500 dollars.
A Court-martial, as usual in such cases, is to be
held on Captain MAiwitu., for the loss of the Accrsrs
frigate.
The office of one of the Paymasters of the Forces
has been abolished, and yesterday, for the first time,,
Mr. Rostasort's name was omitted in the printed re.
ccipts and lists issued from the Pay Otfice. Mr.
Lotto is now sole Paymaster of the Forces.
Tuesday the whole of the Royal Marine. belong.
ing to the guard-ships at Portsmouth were landed,
and reviewed on South sea Common.

Mr. EDWARD GIDDY, Surgeon, of Penzance, hay.
ing gone on board a vessel, near that place, to attend
a patient, on Monday last, experienced no little dis-
appointment on finding, whew he proposed to return
home, that the vessel being from the West Indies, he
must go to Stangate to perform qu trantine, for which
he accordinxly proceeded, leaving all his Penzance
patients !rebind him.
A private letter from Calais, dated the I.sth inst.
says Monday last, an Englishman, who had
been an Officer in the 15th Dragoons, and Aide de-
camp to the Duke of Cvstesatasl), was tried at Bou-
logne, and sentenced to the gallica. He is to be
marched from thence, in a chain, with many others,
to Paris, where he will be again tried on charges of
robbery and'swindling. lie appears to have no friend.
but a beautiful French woman, who, it is said, attends
him as his servant, in male attire."

A curious seiznre took place on Tuesday kit at
Stonehonse, soon after the arrival of a vessel from
Guernsey. A porter, carrying a bedstead from a
shore boat, was.met on the beach by a Custom-hoose
Officer, who, having asked the porter to whom it be-
longed, and received rather an unsatisfactory reply,
thought it right to examine the bedstead. On doing
so, he found that the posts and pillars were hollowed
out, and contained several hundred pounds worth of
lace, ingeniously concealed under slides.
Wednesday Robert Grove and John Johnrm. two
workmen at the metal mills, in the Dock-yard at
Portsea, had an altercation on some subject. A‘..:er
considerable reovocation on the part of Grove, J to -
.son seized an iron ladle and gave Grove such a 12r,-,d-
Cul blow on the head as to fracture his skull; hut
what is must extraordinary, Grove continued at work
until his face was so covered with blood that he could
not. tee ;"he then deliberately washed himself arid
walked to The surgery, where it was found aKeSSATT
to remove part of the skull, which was forced in on
.the brain. His resolution did not even then forsake
him, and he submitted quietly to the formidable ope-
ration of trepanning without, further complaint than
that the man holding him occasioually hurt his leg.
which be said was an unnecessary pain. After seve.
rat pieces of bone had been removed from the brain
and his bead was dressed, he 'proposed walking
home. Johnson, however, has been discharged from
the yaild, and is in ga2l until the result of the acct.
f dent is known. - •

!n consequence ot a ioNg grudge between Wililun Davies, a
ling butcher o• Bath, and Samuel White, a chairman to the
General Hospital, they had agreed to light at Lansdown Fair,
3 tt.'erday sentiight. Davies niet White in a booth, and chat-
hived ion out. The latter wished to delay the tattle till the
T3'ol was over, on which Dawes gave him a tremendous blow on
the side ot his brad. Befog thus provoked, White haazened to
the usual spot tor pitched battles; when a fut inns contest took
place, which lasted about 40 minutes, and ended in White's fa.
vow.. He rode down the hill iu tolerably good plight, but in the
course of the wed severely !tit the effeet of the blows he had re.
ct iveti, aril died th.• next morning. the Mayer, in his capacity
n: Coroner fur the City of Bali, held an blue I on the hardy of
White, and a:trr a minute examination ot ad the circumstances,
Witeh ;as.,d nearly five hours, the Jury returned a verdict of--•
Mansl-ughter. Davies has abscondrol, but warrants have been
argued for his apprehension.
