Mr. Mellish stood forward, but the opposition became so loud and universal, that we could distinctly hear but a few of his observations. We understood the Hon. Gentleman to declare, that he had always acted in Parliament with the most perfect independence, that be had never looked to personal objects, but had always been anxious to perform his duty to his constituents and to the country at large. He protested that he had never bad a Government contract in his life that he had no favour to ask for, and that he had always voted according to his conscience. The usual formalities being gone through, in announcing that Mr. Byng and Mr. Mellish were duly elected, thanks were unanimously voted to the Sheriffs, for their very proper conduct;-and that vote they certainly deserved, for they manifested the utmost desire to act with impartiality, and to conduct themselves with courtsey towards all parties. The Meeting was dissolved about twelve o'clock. WESTMINSTER ELECTION CONTINUED. NINTH DAY, SATURDAY, JUNE 27. Romilly ......3789 | Maxwell......3361 Burdett ...... .3513 Hunt 74 ........ Dreadful Hurricane in the Mauritius,This island was visited on the 1st of March by one of the most terrible hurricanes ever experienced there. A letter from Port Louis of the 16th of that month, describes the damage incurred to be tremendous; the whole island was one scene of waste and destruction; trees torn up by the roots, and many houses both in town and country laid flat; valuable storehouses unroofed, &c, and the goods within them completely spoiled, Upwards of 40 sail of large vessels, besides small craft, were driven on shore, or otherwise injured. The hurricane commenced at south-east, and gradually veered to the northeast till six in the morning, when it shifted suddenly to north-north-west, and brought with it the additional calamity of a heavy and overwhelming sea. The Bishop of Orense died on the 20th May, and bequeathed a considerable sum of money, to be divided into three parts. The first for the Apostolic See; the second for the private purse of King Ferdinand VII.; and the third for those of the Inquisitors who had been persecuted or injured under the Administration of the Cortes.

The accounts which have been received from Ceylon, came down to the end of February last. It would seem, that when the last accounts came away, the progress of the rebellion had not been stopped. Lady Brownrigg and all the English ladies were about to come from Candy to Columbo for protection, and every soldier that could be spared either at Columbo or Galle, has been sent for to Candy, for the purpose of keeping open, if possible, the communication between the different stations in the island. Ehelapoolla, the brother-in-law of the Dessare of Ovin, who was always known to be a secret favourer of the Insurgent cause, has at last taken an open part, and, as is reported, is gone over to his countrymen. It is with great pleasure we give the following extract from a Decree issued from the Royal Council of Admiralty at Genoa, hy order of his Majesty the King of Sardinia : "It is hereby ordered, that none of our subjects, of whatever class or condition soever, shall, directly or indirectly, take any part in the Slave Trade, under penalty of heavy punishment, and forfeiture of all protection from our Government. It is also further ordered, that any vessel bearing our flag, which shall enter into the above abominable traffic, shall be subject to capture, if met by any of our ships of war, and to immediate seizure and confiscation on enterIn furthering any port in our dominions. ance of the above Order, we have issued our commands to our Consuls resident in Foreign Countries."

Extract of a letter from the agents to Lloyd's at Riga, dated 11th (234) June, 1818: "We are authorised to inform you, that at the mouth of the Duna, at the Dam of Fort Connet, a Light-house has been erected, which will be lighted from the 15th of June. The first fire is stationed 105 English feet, and the second in the same direction 25 English feet, above the level of the sea; in consequence of which the first will be perceived at a distance of 16, and the latter at a distance of 7 Italian miles. The purport of these new lights is, 1st, that their appearance may serve navigators as a guide, regarding the distance at which they may approach for anchoring; 2dly, that the direction of these lights on entering the mouth of the Duna may be conducive to avoid the reef which stretches out to the sea from Mognirsholm, as also the sand banks surrounding that island."
