FROM LLOYD'S LIST.  GRAVISETID, APRIL 18.—Arrived the Boyne, Nicholls, from Bengal ; and the St. Raplia. Santon, from Malaga.—Sailed the Bombay, Hamilton, for India. The Hector, GRIFFITH, from Cardiff to London, was run down off Beachy-head on Monday night.  A requisition has been sent to the Mayor of Hull, requesting him to call a meeting, to consider the conduct of Ministers in planning and executing the Walcheren Expedition. _ It will be secn, on reference to our Report of the business in the House of Commons last Tuesday night. that Lord CHATHAM is, and is likely to continue for some time, at the head of the Ordnance, and in full receipt of the emoluments attached to that office. An inquiry of Mr. WHITBREAD'S led to this discovery. The second notice of action served by Sir FRANCIS BURDETT upon the SPEAKER of the House of Commons, and entered upon the Journals on Tuesday night, differs from the former one only in correcting the error, by which Sir FRANCIS'S house in Piccadilly was described as being in„the parish of Saint James, 'whereas it is, in fact, in the parish of St. George. A new writ was moved for the Borough of St. Germain's, in the room of Sir JOSEPH YORKE, who is to be succeeded by his brother, the ex-member for Cambridgeshire—the new Teller to the Exchequer. A report has just reached us, that the Commander in Chief, Sir DAVID DUNDAS, has tendered his resignation. The report adds, that for a con:iderable time there has been no cordiality between Sir DAVID and the Ministry, and that he obstinately retained his own opinions on military subjects. Lord WELLING* TON is mentioned as the new Commander in Chief ; and Sir JOHN HOPE, Marshal BERESEORD, General GRAHAM, and Sir JOHN SHERBROOKE, are variously mentioned as the successors of Lord WELLINGTON in Spain. We believe his Lordship to be a very able as well as an active officer, and we believe also that he has the voice of the Army with him, but after , the noble and firm stand, which Sir DAVID DUNDAS ' 1 has made, we confess we will regret the hour he ceases to be Commander in Chief at home. Few men wculd have dared to act the noble part which Sir DAVID DUNDAS did, when Sir WILLIAM PITT died. Friday se'nnight was committed to the county of Waterford gaol, by E. LEE, Esq. M. Barr9n, charged with being a Captain of Caravats, and setting fire to a house on the lands of Knockeen, near that city. A murder attended with rape and other circumstances of a most atrocious nature was commited on Sunday se'nnight, in the palish of Speymouth, during divine service, on the body of a gill of the name of LAMB, only ten years of age. The girl had gone out in the forenoon with her father's cattle, to a moor in the vicinity of his firm, where she was followed by a lad of the name of Gilv,ean, a neighbouring farm servant, who carried with him an oaken bludgeon taken from a plantation near the place, with which he felled her to the ground, and afterwards, shocking to relate ! beat out her brains with two stones that were found, together with the bludgeon, beside the mangled body. After the commis, mon of this horrid deed he hastened to church to avoid suspicion. For several days he denied the crime laid to his charge, but we are since informed that he admits having committed the murder, but persists in denying she rape. The unhappy wretch pleads mental derangement at the time of committing the act in extenuation of his horrid barbarity. A
