NASSAU, New PRAVIDIINCE, J !, U.% h T I 3.--Extract of a Let-
ter=" Accounts having been received at this place that a piratical
schooner, with a Spanish felucca as her prize, was at ahchur at
Green Key, (a small island in Bd. vicinity) the schooner l'rim-
rose, of this Port, was manned, armed, and mitt in pt.rsuit of
her. This vessel succeeded in taking the felucca and schooner,
but the men made their escape into the woods. The C..ptain of
the Primrose not considering himself authorised to land his
people in pursuit of them, returned to port. ills ajesty's
schooner Sessnwr.t.i., Lieutenant l.; IA Kr, having in the mean,
time arrived from Jamaica, proceeded irnmenitely to Green
Key, in hopes of being able to secure these people; but on her
arrival, it was found they had put to sea in their boats, which
the Primrose very inconsiderately left behind on the beach.
They are said to be twelve in number, and will no doubt, seize
on the first vessel that comes in their way. Three men he-
hinging to this place have been taken up and put into jail on a
charge of aidinik and abetting these people in their piracies.
" JANUARY 15.—Since the above was wiirten, the whole .f
the people belonging to the piratical vessel have betn taken en
Andro's Island, where they landed in their boats, ar,d r-ported
themselves as seamen belonging to an American 75‘ that had
been cast away on the Bahama Bitek.-1-1a• .mg r b; ought.
to this place to-day, they were soon idcupfied and lodge.: id jail."

The following is an Extract of a Letter from St.
Helena, dated the Ist of December ; by which it ap-
pears that a material contribution to the health and
comfort of our gallant seamen has been contrived,
which may render that station in future more palate-
able to them than it has been—" The Admiral has
commenced a famous Convalescent Hospital at the
Naval Farm, High Peak ; it is about 80 feet long,
and 18 or 20 wide ; indeed, it is now nearly boarded
up, and I suppose about Christmas will be ready to
receive some of our weak subjects. It will be of the
utmost consequence to the station hereafter,Us a ship's
company coming here feels the climate very severely
after being a few months born England. Our peo-
ple are now, I am happy to say, better than they
have been at this season the two former years, and I
trust will not have the attacks of the last. We hove
now no more than 26 or 28 men sick in the whole
squadron, which consists of upwards of 1,500 ; and
the year before last we had at least cue hundred in
the sick list."

The Anniversary Sermon for the heneßt of the
Royal Humane Society, was preached at the New
Church, St. Diary-la-Bonne, to a very nunlerues congregation,
on Sunday morning last, the 15th lest. by the Rev. E. BARMY,
D. D. Rector of St. Leonard, and St. 'Mary, Wallingford, Berks.
The Rev. Doctor dwelt with peculiar force and elinineeee on
the general objects of the Institution, and particularly on its suc
cessful efforts in cases of ir.teuded suicide, many unfoi Unita
persons, both male and female, having been restored, net on:y
to life, but to peace of mind, who, in a moment of desperation,
had attempted to rush unprepared into the presence of their
Goa. He observed, that the Society's purposes were alike in-
teresting to the rich, to the poor, to sm., of whatever deocrii-
titan or class of mankind, inasmuch as, in the dispensations of
that PROVID/NCE with whoth are the issues of life and death, it
might happen that some near relative or friend of any one who
heard him, might become the subject of the exertions which this
Society sought to elicit, encourage, and reward; for no ere of
sudden or apparent death was incompatible with its objects,
whether from apoplexy, drowning, suffocation, noxious ai s,
suspension by the cord, lightning, cc the desperate attev,pt of a
suicide. By the exertions of the Royal Hurna.ne Society, thou-
sands, the subjects of these various farms of apparent death, Lad
been rescued, who must otherwise have perished, and to sellouts
the Society presents a Bible, and also suitable rcligicus book..
The Rev. Doctor paid a just tribute to the nitmory of the
Founders of Ole Society, and especially acknowledged, in some
eloquent allusions to :he character and virtues of our late veoe-
table and beloved Sovereign, the invaluable patronage whsh. bn
so long extended over this Ins:in:dor. Ile concluded, by weir%
the individual duty of every man's contrihusing hi* utmost
toward the support of such a Charity. This forcible apper4
produced the very liberal contribution of upwards of
The amount was no doubt increased by the Right Hon. Los i
lirev-Orn who on this and every occasion of humanity an/ phi-
