Yesterday His jeS_t=YreciVed visi-t from the Duke of York and the Duchess of Glocester. Yesterdlay afternoon, soon after four o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of York, as Commander-in-Chief; held z levee at his office in the Horse Guards. Yesterday MIr. Canning transacted business at the Fo- reign-office. New York papers to the 17tdh of March arrived yesterday, but they contain nothing worth extracting. By a vessel arrived at Jersey, letters, dated the 12th of Febraarv, were received yesterday from Rio de Janeiro. In consequence of an attempt to man the Brazilian ships of war, by impressing the country people who carried on the commnunications wvith the interior, they had become un- willing to visit the capital, and a temporary interruption to business ha(d iakrn place. A meeting had occurred on board the iXtheroy frigate, arising from the aversion felt by that part of the crew wvho were Brazilians to be com- Tnanded by Englsh r.fficers. Thev (Irove all the English sailors into the hold; and the Captain shortlv after ap- proaching in a boat, several shots were fired at him, and wournded a number of his boat's crew. A military force was, however, detached from the shore, when the muti- necrs wvere soon reduced to submission, ai.d the ringleaders taken into custodly. The 17th had beeni fixed for the sail ing of the packet. TI'he rate of exchange was from 481 to 49-a proof that the negotiation for the new loan wvas not believed to be so nearly completed as it is known to be in this country. The capital wvas generally tranquil, and quite free from political agitation. The scrip of the new Colombian loan was sold yesterday at a premium of from 3 to 34 per cent. Such has been the avidity to obtain shares in it, that the applications for sub- scriptions have been for near ten times its amount.

ANOTHER VERSION OF THE STORY Ih' YESTERDAY'S PAPEIt OF T!E DUtMB MAN CURED.-About twenty-five years since, Mlr. William Newman, of Forest-row, Lewes, re covered from a very severe illness, 'bat with the total loss of, his speech. After being subjected to repeated attacks of des- pondency, a few weeke hack MIr. William. Newman was again confined to his bed with a malady that menaced his life. His nuirse, on the first night of her employment, perceiving her patient some. what uneasy, took a position by the sidle of the bed; his eyes were 4'eirected towards her-but great indeed was her surorise o heaving - 2,im distinctlv articulate tle following words:-" I have been visited DVan angel! ! !" and the sick man .seemed to tremble with fear at the sound of his own voice. From that time, though entirely lost during the long period above specified, his speech has been restored to him; and it is thc opinion of his medical attendant, that, in the event o his recovery, which is anticipated, it will not again desert hirm. The abovesngularevent uas communicated to us from a source so truly respectable, that we entertain no doubt whatever, in substace, of it accuracy-Su:r Advertiscr.

A fev years since the 'cone estate fetchied nearly 10,0001., and a vast suns has since been expended in In4provements upon it.

Last week a woman of the name of Gardnter, rmeiding at Illudford, Sorners-t, was delivered of a boy wbo is marked in a most curious wanNer, viz. the right hand has the resemblance of a magic lantern, the left hand a conjuring stick, and on the right cheek is a most excellent likeness of what is termed a peep-show. We have evey reason to believe that this great curiosity originated from the uisband5 vwho gets his livelihood by the art ofconjurinr, having some time since absconded, and taken anorher woman. It is saia: that the child, at the death of some gentleman in Cornwall, W3vl be heir to a-very considerable estate-Dorchcster Jon2ynai.
