Jolnv WILSON CHOKER, Esq. Chief Secretary at
the Admiralty Board, has been engaged these seve-
ral days in an election contest at Downpatrick, in
Ireland; but, according to our last letters from
thence, he is not likely to secure his return for that
place. Judging from all the accounts we have as
yet t'eceived from the sister kingdom, there is eve'',
prospect of a greater average return of independent
men to the new Parliament, than what we now ex-
pect on our own side of the water.
The Ist Regiment of Life Guards, 300 strong,
marched this morning, at seven o'clock, from Knights-
bridge barracks, in No divisions, for Kingston and
Guilford, on their way to Portsmouth, where they
will embark for Spain. They appeared in high spirits,
and gave three huzzas previous to their quitting lly de
Park, where they were drawn up before their de.
parture. Two large military waggons accompanied
them with forges and ether implements of war.
In addition to the Life Guards now embarking at
Portsmouth, detachments, to the number of about
600 horse, are ordered to Lisbon to join the following
regiments of Dragoons, viz. 3d, 4th. and sth Dra-
goon Guards; Ist, 3d, and 4th Dragoons; 9th,
11th, 12th, and 16th Light Dragoons.

Several letters were on Saturday received in town
from Guernsey, stating the arrival of intelligence there
from Rivadeo, that a battle had been fought with the
enemy in the North of Spain, in which they had been
defeated. Some of the letters fix thedate of the battle
to the Sth, which would render the intelligence not
improbable ; but from the following communication,
which comes from an authentic source, it appears that
'the vessel which brought the accounts to Guernsey left
Rivad2o on the titit, a circumstance which, consider-
ing the distance of Itivadeo from Burgos, leaves us
with scarcely a:ty expectation of having the rumour
confirmed :

We understand a considerable sensation has lately
been excited by the great advance in the valuation of
parochial tithes, which, in some places, is now in-
creased to 16s. per acre—a sum which, not many

ral districts in the kingdom.

The Market to-day has seven"l teeth arrivals of Wheat coast-
wise, which constitute a tolerable apply;& but the buyers being
numerous, and the trade brisk in sale, prices are quoted, at a
farther advance of about 3s. per quarter. We have very little
Barley, nod fine samples fetch rather better terms. Malt goes
of freely hi the last quotation. White Peas again named dearer.
In Beans little variation. There is a large fresh supply of Oats,
and sales not so readily effected as last week; a reduction may
be noted of about 9s. per quarter. and rather more on Potatoe
Oats, which come to hand soft and damp. Flour at Last prices.
