LATEST FROM CURA.--SAVANNAH, JITLY 9.—We learn by a passenger in the pilot-boat schooner Savannah, arrived yesterday in eighty hours from Matanzas, that a serious disturbance: among the negroes took place in the neighourhood of that place, about the 17th ult.; the number of the revolters were about five hundred, who divided themselves into parties from one hundred to fifty : they proceeded to several plantations, and murdered thp head of the family. In one instance a party of fifty entered a house of public entertainment, anti murdered all its inmates, but they were surprised and taken. Much alarm has existed in Matanzas, and the volunteers have been ordered out, and were doing duty in the city when our informant came away. The insurrection was soon put down, and tranquillity restored. There were tinder arms about 1000 'men : the loss of ti:e rebels was about 100 killed, and 75 prisoners. The whites who had lost their lives were about sixteen.  • The Gazette of Saturday contains some dispatches from the Naval Commanders on the coast of Ava which, though relating to events of a distant date, will be found interesting in their details, as evety thing connected with the bravery of our seamen must necessarily be. The dispatches cf August 6th and 9th, 1824, relate to the capture of the stocicad -s at Syriam and Dallah Creek. That of October 31 states the occupation of Martaban. Those of the Bth December relate to the affairs of Remmindine and Possendown ; and that of the 16th of DeceMber rocords the capture of 30 of the enemy's war. boats in the Rangoon river. Besides these there is a short notice of dispatches received in May, 1824, on the capture of Cheduba.— The Gazette also contains the offer of his Majesty's gracious pardon to any accomplices of the person who sent anonymous threatening letters on the 26th of July and 10th of August to Mr. C. Virawn. of South Shields. iTo this Mr. Wrawn has added a reward of 304 to be paid on conviction.  SIR RICHARD BtaNzE.—We are sorry to oh. serve such repeated and acrimonious cepSUres against this zealous and able Magistrate. Granting that in a recent instance he has been somewhat too hasty in his treatment of a person who, by all that appears, was entitled to mere respect, an. who seems to have had nothing bat' the assertion of just rights in view, we should consider the general conduct of the Head of the Bow-street Police, which has always been marked by good sense, vigilance, discernment, and firmness, in the discharge of an arduous duty. We should consider also that he has often to contend with flippant personS, who are brought to his official bar, .or appear there as witnesses. —Without impeaching the motives of Mr. GAMBLE, or interfering in a question which will probably be decided elsewhere, it must be acknowledged that he repeated the questions of the Magistrates unnecessarily, he. sitated much in giving plain answers to simple questions,' and evidently was so little conciliatory in his! manner, that the Magistrate rn7ght naturally be-irritated, and give way to a su Men impulse which he otherwise would not have felt. The watchman, indeed appears to have been both officious and violent in dragging Mr. GAMBLE to the watch-house, when the women had removed, and there was no appearance of disorder, and Mr. GAMBLE is to be commended for resisting his " brief authority," and asserting the rights of an Englishman Mr. SLATER, a Treasury Messenger, left town on Thursday night for Bruss,ds, with official papers and dispatches for the Earl of LIVERPOOL, who is expected to visit that city in his excursion on the Continent, for whicl► purpose the Noble Earl left Walmer Castle some days ago.
