The Stirfingshire Yeomanry Cavalry, under the command of
Lieutenant Colonel Murray, of Touchadam, was reviewed oft
Friday sennight by his Grace the Duke of Montrose, Lord Lieu-
tenant of the county. His Grace appeared upon the field about
two o'clock. The regiment immediately entered upon the per-
formance of the diffetent evolutions. The appear:Ace of the regi-
ment on Friday was equal to what has been on any previous occa-
sion, and fully supported the high character it has gained for disci-
pline in the field, and for the neatness and regularity of its equip-
ments. Immediately after the review, the competition for the
prizes given to the best swordsmen in the regiment, and also the
best swordsmen of each troop, took place. The races took place
on the following day (Saturday), when the weather, which had
been unpropitious for the review, was delightful An immense
number of spectators were present; but as the horses were not so
well matched as was anticipated, the racing was nut equal to what
it has been on some former occasions.

LOSS OF THE BRIG VICTORY, BY FIRL
FROM THE SA MUM= GLOBt, JOLT 3.
Yesterday morning atrived the long-boat of the brig Victory of
Belfast, having on board the Captain and crew of that vessel
(fourteen in number) which was destroyed by fire, on the 43th of
June, about 800 miles to windward of this island. The following
are the particulars, as we have collected them from one of the
Officers of the brig :

WEDNZSDAY, JUNK 25.—At thirty minutes past five, A.M. lat.
IS. 17. long. 46. 50. the man at the wheel discovered smoke issu-
ing forth through the stern and rudder case, and immediately gave
the alarm, 'Affirm the after scuttle was opened, but it was so dense
as to render it impossible to enter. Commenced throwing in
water, though evidently without any effect, fur the smoke increased,
and the half-deck hatches, where it was thickest, were the,, taken
off, and all hands employed in supplying water, but it continued to
increase. In ordei to ascertain in what part of the vessel the fire
was, a part of the cargo was thrown overboard, when the smoke
was observed to be generally fore and aft. and had become so bad
as to render it utterly impossible to go below the hatchway. The
carpenter was ordered instantly to scuttle the decks in several
places, so as to open a passage to the water, which was continued
to be poured down. Finding that all that could be done with the
use of water would not allay the smoke, the hatches were closed
tight, endeavouring thus to smother the fire ; but at noon it was
observed bursting through the hatches, upon which three bends
were ordered to prepare the boats, whilst the others again cons-
menced throwing water through the scuttles in the deck, and else-
where, fore and aft.
THU&SDAY, June 26.—At one, P.M. the heat wis so intense, and
every endeavour to extinguish the flames having proved ineffectual,
that it was no longer possible to remain on deck ; and Captain
Toole and crew got into the boat, and hung a-stern of the vessel;
bent the boats' sails and seer, and made several attempts to go on
hoard the vessel, but could ,not remain one moment. At three,
r.x. left the vessel in the long boat, having the jolly-boat in tow ;
shortly after the blaze was as high as the main-mast-head, and in a
few minutes nothing could be seen of the wreck. Steered on for
Barbadoes; night coming on, and a breeze springing up, unfortu-
nately tore the stern out of the jolly-boat, when her crew were
under the necessity of getting into the long-boat.
The third day after leaving the wreck, in about lat. 16 long. 53.
saw a bug of about 250 tons, sides painted white, standing to the
North. She came within hail of the boat, and mast have observed
the signal of distress; but after a little hesitation, she crowded all
sail, and left the unfortunate boat's crew to their fate.

111.034 THZ raatnutax TZLIGILAPII, AUG. 9.
When the Active transport left the Leeward Islands, the Icarus,
10 guns, was at Barbadoes, the Victor, 18 guns, was cruising; the
Aurora frigate and the Harlequin sloop had left Barbadoes for Ja-
maica, on their way to England ; the Barham, 50 guns, had re-
turned to Jamaica; the Harpy, 10 guns, had left St. Kitts for New
Providence; a beautitul and powerful Du ch steam boat had re-
cently arrived from Holland with a new Governor for St. Eus-
tatia ; she mounted 10 guns, and was intended to cruise against the
many pirates which still infest the different Islands. The station
was very healthy. The troops were stationed as follows—The Ist
Royals and the lst West India Regiments were at Trinidad and
Barbadoes; the 19th and 86th at Barbadoes; 25th at Demerara ;
35th at St. Lucia and Dominica; td Battalion 60th at Berbice
and Demerara; 93d at Antigua and St. Kitts.
The Russian Admiral has persevered to the utmost in obeying
the orders of bis Sovereign, not to enter au English port. Since
the squadron has passed the Isle of Wight, it has had to contend
with contrary winds. ()n Saturday it was off the Lizard, with
the wind blowing fresh from the Westward. On the following
day, our squadron, with the Lord High Admiral, found it neces-
sary to bear up, yet the Russian squadron continued its course, and
on Thursday morning were fourteen leagues S.W. of Scilly, when
the pilots, who arrived here this morning at day-light, left it. At
that time the wind was westerly, and has continued West and
South- West, and blown a gale. The squadron may probably get
into Brest or Rochefort, but can hardly be expected to keep the sea.
The Meteor bomb, Commander David Hope, now fitting at
Plymouth, will proceed with. all dispatch to the Mediterranean.
Two frigates have been laid down at one of the naval yards, to
carry twenty-six 32-pounders on the main deck, and fourteen 3Y-
pounders on ehe quarter dedrand forecastle. They are to be two
feet broader than our present forty-six pi ships, and will be
roomy, powerful men of war. •
The Diadetri transport is ordered to take provisions to Rio de
Janeiro; the Beitomart transport, to take stores to the coast of
Africa; and the William Harris transport, to carry supplies to the
Island of Ascension. '
