Jamaica Papers received by the packet, come down
to the 27th ult. By them we learn that the transport
ship Fame had sailed from Port Royal on the 2‘2d fbr
Honduras and this place, having on board a Corns.
pany of his Majesty's 58th Regiment, and a Detach-
ment of the 2d West India, under command of Major
TOAIKINS, of the 58th. At Honduras she would take
in a further detachment of the 2d, and proceed for
this island, where these troops are to be stationed.
The transport ship Alfred, with the head quarters
of the 2d West India Regiment, touched at Crooked
Island on the 9th ultimo. Officers and men on board
all well and in good spirits. The following is an ex-
'tracrof a letter from one of the Officers :
Otr Crooked Island, 9th April, 1819,
Transport Ship Alfred.
" Our Regiment—that is, the five companies that were in Ja-
malca—have sailed for Sierra Leone in this ship and the John,'
which we unfortunately parted company with Mr the East end
of Jamaica, which island we left thirteen'days since. The five
companies that were at Honduras send two of them to New'
Providence to relieve the 13Iack Garrison Companies: these go
to Honduras to be disbanded. Our five companies go to Africa
to remain embodied, and to relieve the African Corps. Lieute-
nant-Colonel Ross, Captain Haws, Paymaster Darr, Lieute-
nant and Adjutant Ilicarrn, Lieutenant FINDLAY, Ensigns
Lows and Momaary, and Hospital Staff Surgeon Louon, with
about 200 soldiers, are on board the Alfred. His Majesty's fri-
gate Irusamtui, with Rear-Admiral Sir Hose Formai*, was to
sail from Port Royal on the 30th March for llavannah and this
port, and may therefore soon be expected. By an arrival from
the Havannah, which left that port about ten days ago, we un-
derstand that the Admiral was hourly looked for there. There
was a rumour at Havannab, of Cuba being to be ceded to Great
Britain—an event, however, rather desired by many, than gene-
rally credited as probable."

Yesterday afternoon, the Duchess of YORK arrived
at York-House, St. James's Palace from Oatlands.
A clause, it is said, will be introduced in the Bill
founded on the Resolutions moved in the House of
Commons by Mr. PEEL, to prevent the Bank making
any further bonus's, or`dividing more than seven per
cent. until the resumption of cash-payments. This
is as it should be, and what we have often suggested.
The Magistrates of Glasgow have officially an-
nounced their dissatisfaction with the manner of their
election; and have published a proposal for impart-
ing to the Merchants' and Trades House the power
of choosing• the Council. We are willing to give•the
Magistrates credit for good intentions; but it is evi-
dent that their plan will please none but their own
friends. There is no justice in it, and no pclicy; for
while it perpetuates the disfranchisement of a great
part of the Burgesses, it will not produce a Council
pottossing the confidence of the Public. The inter-
mediate election will completely prevent the inhabi-
tants from identifying themselves with the Council,
and the Council will soon learn how little necessary
it is to study the good will of the citizens, when they
know that their situation depends upon a body ac-
cessible to all the artifices of a close canvass. No
plan will please but one applicable to every Borough
in Scotland—one that will restore to the people their
lost rights—one that will give to every honest Bur-
gess, without exception, a vote in the election of the
Council.—Glasgow Chronicle.
Mr. COLMAN having given up his share in the
Haymarket Theatre, Mr. MORRIS is the sole Direc-
tor. He has appointed Mr. TERRY for his Manager
during the ensuing season. Mr. JONES, of Covent-
garden, and several other favourites of the Public
are engaged.
Sunday, as Lady DYNEVOR and the young Ladies
were proceeding down Harley-street, towards Caven-
dish-square, in their carriage, the fore axletree broke
and the wheel came off. The coachman, by the sud-
den occurrence, was thrown from off his box, and the
footman, in getting down, fell from behind. The
horses took fright, and ran furiously dawn Harley-
street, and across Cavendish-square, dragging the
carriage on the side the whole of the way ; but for-
tunately the horses were stopped by two men opposite
-Holles-street, in the square, when the Ladies were for-1
tunately relieved from their perilous situation, without
receiving any other injury than that of the fright.
A serious accident occurred yesterday, in Grosve-
nor-place, to Mrs. LAWTON, of Dovcr•street. During
the bustle atTATTERSALL'S, Mrs. LA WTON'SCO2ChMaR,
who was driving her chariot, in cleating another
carriage, got his wheels in contact with a coal cart,
which overturned him. Mrs. LAWTON, who was in
the carriage with two other Ladies, was severely
bruised ; she was conveyed to a neighbouring stir-
georfs in a senseless state, Another of the Ladies
had her face cut by the glass.

A piece of ground near Louth, for building on,
the property of the late R. LEE, Esq. has been sold
in lots, for upwards of £2OOO per acre.
MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.—Barley sow-
ing, the last spring corn-seed, is well finished in the
latest districts ; in the most southern and early, Bar-
ley is in the ear. Potatoes are above ground and
flourishing, and the Turnip fallows in excel!ent con-
dition for the seed. Grass was cut for Hay in some
few parts of Middlesex, on the I'7th instant. The
crop of Grass is great, also of the artificial Grasses,
with the exception of perhaps Clover in some few
parts. All the spring crops look as well as the
most sanguine expectants could reasonably desire,
since something must necessarily be allowed for the
effect of variable climate. The Wheats have been
cheeked occasionally, by tnesprevalence of cold wind•,
chiefly in the northern counties; but, on the whole,
were never known so forward, or in finer condition.
Rye is forward in ear. The fruit-blossoms have been
most luxuriant, and sire generally well set. Some
partiatcheck of the Hop-bine has been experienced ;
but, or the most part, the appearance is most rro-
mising. The Cole-sseed crop has rather improved.
Cattle and Sheep have rather declined in price. Pigs
Ara dear. Wool little doin.

INSTALLATION OF KNIGHTS OF. ST. PATRICK.

This most interesting ceremony took place yes-
terday, and was a spectacle of great grandeur.. AD
an early hour those parts of the Cathedral allotted to
company were crowded with rank, fashion, and
beauty : the Gentlemen in Court costume, the Ladies
in rich and beautiful attire, forming together one of
the most In illiant atsemblages we ever beheld. The
windows in the different streets through which Ow
procession was to pass,likewise displayed much o 4 the
beauty and fashion of the metropolis, being chiefly
occupied by very elegantly dressed females, whose
gay appearance added greatly to the splendour of
the scene. The throng beneath defied computation;
it. seemed as if Dublin had poured forth all its inha-
bitants on the occasion ; soon after nine o'clock it
became impossible to break a passage through the
crowd. The streets were lined with military, from
the Castle to the west gate of the Cathedral.
The Knights installed were: The Marquis of Tno-
MOND ; the Marquis of Sun° ; the Earl cf
SULLEN ; and the Earl of LONGFORD.

The only installed Knight in the Procession to the
Cathedral was Earl O'Nzu.n. In the rear of the in-
stallation arrangement moved the Countess of TAL.
BOT with her suite, occupying several carriages ; the
Duke and Duchess of LEIN/IT/Mt the Marquii. and
Marchioness of DtOWNSHIIII4 Marchioness of Snioo,
the Countess Of CLANRICRARDI2, Sir EDWARD and
Lady BAKER, Lady ALLEN, Lady Foitees, &c.
in handsome equipaFes, and adding greatly to the
effect of the scene.— Ihe day was, on the whole, 'very
favourable to the procession.
Yesterday evening, her Excellency gave a grand
Ball to the Knights, Esquires, and Officers, who at-
tended in their robes and installation dresses.
