The vessels from Surinam arrived last evening; and the whole fleet is expected to sail to morrow [sic].

The brig Ruby, Capt. Wales, which we mentioned last week to have come up this river to repair, joined the fleet again on Monday.

On Monday next there will be a Meeting of the Court of Rolls of Demerary.

Execution. [heading]
This morning, at twelve o'clock, were executed, pursuant to the sentence of the Hon. Court of Justice, three Negroes, named Tom, Sandy, and Billy, for breaking open the Stores of Mr. Emmerson, and stealing divers articles therefrom, some time since.
During the time of the above sentence being carried into execution, one Neyling, a white man, was placed on the platform, under the gallows, with a large board affixed to his breast, on which was written "Buyer of Stolen Goods;" he having purchased articles from the above Negroes.

The Christian name of the Gentleman, whose death it was our melancholy duty to record last week, was James Cooper, not William, as erroneously printed. We have also to correct a mistake respecting the quick as well as the dead: in our account of the Gentlemen who dined with the Volunteer Officers, at the New Union Coffee House, it should have been Robert Patterson, not Richard.

TO the Editor of the Essequebo and Demerary Gazette. [heading]
SIR,
As you have thought proper to name only in your paragraph respecting an amateur concert at the house of N. Rousselet, Esq. in your last paper, I beg leave to observe, that, without the exercise of the unrivalled abilities of Mr. Markort on the Violoncello (which are so well known in these Colonies), Mr. Keller on the viola d'Amore, and Mr. Engels on the Flute, with the assistance of Messrs. Rousselet, Schneck, Huestieg, Aman, von Firks, and other Gentlemen, on their respective instruments, the treat would not have been what I suppose you meant to attribute to the exertions of
Your humble Servant,
Stabroek, June 9, 1806. C. S. Goepel.
We can only plead want of information in excuse for the omission of the respectable names above enumerated. With regard to the last mentioned Gentleman, however, Captain Von Firks, he has, we understand, sounded his own horn so loudly on the occasion, that any attempt of our's to trumpet forth his praise, is rendered perfectly unnecessary.
