KW UPON SIR HUDSON LOWE.

(MK THE CMLWAY 11DP1ATISSAL •
Some wag in this town lately played off a hoax
upon the present Governor of St. Helena, General
Sir HUDSON Lowe. In the month of November last
a letter was addressed to him, stating that a widow
lady, of the name of DRURY, had died here, and by
her will bequeathed to Sir HUDSON £l,OOO in cash,
and houses and plots in this town to the value of
£2,000 more, and of her having appointed LAW..
BENCE COMYN, Esq. (in whose name the letter was
written, to Sir Hunson) Executor, and requesting Sir
HUDSON'S directions as to the manner in which the
bequests were to be disposed of; and recommending
Sir HUDSON to send some person over to Galway to
take possession of the premises, as there was a Gen-
tleman of encroaching celebrity who might other-
wise throw down the buildings, under pretence of
improving his town. The letter was sent to London,
and from thence, by some of the Secretaries of State,
forwarded to that little Paradise, St. Helena! Sir
HUDSON was sitting in Council upon some complaint
made by the ci-Bevan? Emperor, upon the scantiness
of his yesterday's meal, when this letter arrived. In
a moment the solemnity of the occasion which as-
sembled them was forgotten, and enraptured at the
grateful remembrance in which he was held by the
inhabitants of a town, where the Low family had its
origin, he announced the happy tidings to his gaping
auditory. Sir HUDSON could not, however, permit
the diminution cf his trusty band by immediately,
sending off a person to take possession of his Galway
Astall ; he, however, addressed the Executor in terms
of heartfelt satisfaction, thanked Mr. COMYN for his
attention to his (Sir Hunscites) interest, and apprising
him that he had drawn on him in favour of Messrs.
COUTT3 and Co. Bankers in Loudon, at ninety-one
days' sight, for £l,OOO sterling ; requesting also to
have an immediate survey and maps made of the
preniises, and a copy of that part of the will sent to
him in which the dear departed had so kindly recol-
lected him ; and that notices in legal form should be
served upon the Gentleman who had imagined the
property might be his, and who wished to encroach''
on his (Sir Hunsox's) Estate ; acknowledged with
pride that Galway had seen the first sun of pros-
perity shine upon him ; and leaves it entirely to his
Executor to distribute amongst his townsmen some
token of his recollection of the place that gave him
birth. It only now remains for us to state the dis-
appointment occasioned by receiving this letter, freed
by some of the high Authorities of the State, with a
seal upon it of the size of a tolerable cream cheese,
which, upon its first reaching the Executor's hands,
made his heart beat high with hope: but, alas! this
palpitation soon subsided, upon finding it contained
Sir HUDSON Lows's letter, with one from Messrs.
COUTT3 and Co. requesting to know, should they
negotiate the draft for £l,OOO in British or Irish cur-
rency, as Sr Iluosos had, in the hurry of the mo-
ment, occasioned, no doubt, by his joyous ecstacy,
forgot to state in which it should be paid?

The Paz Erma, Captain Dru.ox, recently arrived
at Portsmouth from the East Indies, landed a large
quantity of specie at Calcutta from England. She
touched at Madras, Trincomalee, and the Cape of
Good Hope, on her passage homeward, which latter
Settlement she left the 10th June. The general state
of affairs in India was tranquil and prosperous, and
the season more healthy. She brought numerous
dispatches and letters from all the Presidencies. Sir
RICHARD KING had gone to Bombay in the MIN-
DEN, 74, Captain PATERSON ; the other ships of the
squadron were cruizing in various quarters. The
PHSTON touched at St. Helena, and had a passage
of only five weeks from thence to England. BONA-
PARTE continued to live in the same secluded manner
he had done for some time. The service of watching
him had grown most arduous to the troops and ships,
from the constant alertness kept up, and the want of
suitable supplies, the Island proAucing in itself little
for sustenance, and the distance from the Cape being
so great, one-half the cattle' shipped there died on
the passage, and the remainder were nearly starved ;
yet our seamen and troops, at the departure of the
Pitt Eros, maintained their health better than they
had done. The MALABAR, new 74, Captain CLA-
TELL, from Bombay, arrived at the Cape of Good
Hope on the 2d June, on her passage to England.—
The DAUNTLESS, lion. Captain V. GARDNER, with
General Sir E. BARNES, for Ceylon, sailed from the
Caps 14th June. The lowans, Hon. Capt. BRIDG•
MAN, arrived at Valparaiso early in May, from
Monte Video.

Commodore Sir THOMAS MASTERMAN HARDY,
Bart. sailed from Plymouth on Thursday, with the
SUPERB, 74, Captain T. Watts; VENOEUR, 74,
Captain F. L. MAITLAND, C. B. and the HYPERION
frigate, Captain T. SEARLE, C.B. The Owes GLEN-
DOWER, Captain Hon. R. C. SPENCER, will follow.—
Mr. THORNTON, Ambassador to the Coutt of King
JOHN, at Rio Janeiro, is a passenger in the SUPERB.
These ships will remain longer on the coast of South
America than was at first intended. The HYPIRION

frto make the best of her way to Madeira, for the
purpose of taking in a supply of wine for the whole
of this squadron, whose destination and object are
involved in mystery. Sir THOMAS HARDY, it is
stated, sailed with sealed orders, which are not to be
opened till he reaches a certain latitude. Each ship
is in fine fighting trim, being put upon the full wat
establishment, both as to seamen and marines, with
an extra supply of stores. This, at a period of pro-
found peace, bespeaks not only a long and active
service, but a distant station.

The following private ships, laden with merchan-
dise for New South Wales, have sailed from England
since October last, viz.—Harriet, from London, 420
tons; Admiral Cockburn, ditto, 350; Regalia, ditto,
350 ; David Shaw, ditto, 350 ; Robert Quale, from
Liverpool, 350; and three large ships on private ac-
count are now taking in goods in the river Thames
for that Colony ; so that the two Settlements, having
only a population of 25,000 individuals, are likely
Ito be supplied under prime cost in EnglAnd for the
next five or six years to come. These supplies, too,
ash exclusive of the trade from India and Batavia,l
from whence enterprize sends large quantities.
The Dromedary, with 300 convicts on board,
sailed en Saturday' from Portsmouth for New South
Wales. She will proceed from that Colony to New
Zealand and Nortblk Island, to ship timber for the
Home Doet-yards.
