The Kinnersley Castle transport, with invalids on board, ar-
rived at Portsmouth on Sunday se'nnight, from the Cape of
Good Hope, which she left on the 18th Of August, St. Helena
on the Bth of September, and Ascension on the 15th. The
ships at St. Helena were, the Vigo, Captain Bum; (bearing
the flag of Rear-Admiral Lastitrat); Brazen. Captain Suer-
HIRD ; Heron, Captain lianmea ; and Rosario, Captain HLN.
Dar, cruizing about the Island. The Redwing, Captain lleNn,
had arrived from the Cipe of Good Hope. The Menai, Cap-
tain MORZSZY, was at the Cape; and the Tees, Captain RENNIX,
and the Leveret, Captain SHANNON, at the Mauritius. There
is not a single ship of war at Ascension. The squadron, as well
'as the Islands, were generally healthy. -Boriara ars was very
well, and his guards had much related ; he Was allowed to go
almost any distance he pleased ; the new house was nearly
finished when they left. This residence embraces every com-
fort, and is a handsome edifice. Bosar.aere often inspected its
progress. Madame BsaTaaND was very well, as also her family
of six children, who were allowed every range o: the Island.—
The 66th and 20th Regimenrs.were still al St. Helena. The
St. Helena, East India Company's schooner, had sailed from
the Island for the coast of Africa. Passed Ascension on the
15th—no ships there. On the 10th, spoke the Mary Ann So-
phia, from Cork. Off Cape De Verd, MI in with a strange
sail, which sent a boat on board, tke crew of which stated the
vessel to be the Portuguese privateer Don John, last from Gi-
braltar, for the coast of Africa. The Kinnersley Castle brought
invalids from the 20th, 38th, .74th, 66th, and 72d Regiments ;
as also the following passengers:—J. EVANS, Esq. Captain
Woltz, BOth; Lieutenants F. Moose and G. Young,
from the Cape; Lieutenant Brouticrn, invalided from the Me-
nai; Dr. Wacraas, of the Heron ; Dr. MaRsHAL, of the Brazen;
Mr. DACIIGOOLE, late Master of the Brazen ; Mr. Case, of the
Vigo; Lieutenant Niclirumace, R.N. who went out as a settler;
the widow of Major alacesnezie, 54th, and children; the widow
of Dr. Clutc•mx, and five children ; the Doctor had gone out as
a settler from Nottingham, but died of the dysentery in Algoa
Bay. During the whole run, the Kinnersley Castle had not had
one moderate day, but sustained a continual succession of gales
The settlers in Algoa Bay were healthy and comfortable; and
those at Saldanna Bay, finding the fertility of the land at Al.
goa mach superior, were all about to remove there, among
whom were Captain CAMPIANLL, Lieutenant Wirers, Mr. Gail,-
lotus, and Mr. PARESR. The 111enai, Captain E. Moaner,
was at the Cape.—{Captain M. bad sent the Governor his re-
marks on the rivers and coast between Cape Recife and the
mouth of Kelskahama, with a particular description of Port
Elizabeth, Algoa Bay, Southern Africa. After suggesting many
improvements, and pointing out some defects, he adds—" Had
he his choice of trusting his ship for the year round, to Torbay,'
in England—Palermo Bay, in Sicily7—Table Bay, or Algoa Bay,
he should, without hesitation, prefer the anchorage off Port Eli-
sabeth, Algoa Bay."l—The ships Thomas Durham, Marlbo-
rough, and Cambrian, of London, were lying at the Cape. Two
Companies of Artillery had sailed for Ceylon from the Cape. A
whaler had sailed from St. Helena on the 4th of September, for
England.

Duet.—A meeting took place on Saturday, at
Kensington Gravel-pits, between Lieutenant-Colonel
V-Ls-N, of the Royal Scots, and a Gentleman of the
name of J—s, in consequence of some observations
of the latter respecting his M v. The Colonel
was wounded near the left knee- by Mr. J.'s first
shot. In the second exchange of shots, Mr. J. was
wounded on the right side, when seconds ititellered,
and the parties separated.
