On Sunday morning last, a boat belonging to one of the merchant ships in this River, laden with cotton, was unfortunately overset soon after it left the American stelling. Two white men were on board: one of whom was saved by the exertions of a Negro who happened to be in a boat lying near; the other was drowned.

His Majesty's brig Demerary came in on Sunday from Surinam.

The same day arrived the ship Ruth from Newfoundland, with a cargo of Cod Fish, consigned to the house of M'Bean and Co. Vide their advertisement.

To all whom it may concern be it known, that his Honour the Fiscal has been graciously pleased to grant his permission for a new Negro Woman marked T IIII and a Bay Horse with no mark at all, to be sold at public Vendue for the benefit of the Barrack Establishment, if not owned, and Fees paid, within fourteen days from May 30.

Deaths - On Saturday last, at Capt. Johnstone's Plantation, West Coast, John Peter Stephen L'Espinasse, Esq. of Plantation Orange Nassau, only son of the late Governor L'Espinasse.
On Sunday, at Plantation Land of Canaan, Mr. Murdoch Mackenzie.
On Wednesday, Capt. James Senter, of the transport No. 10.
On Wednesday night, in Bridge Town, Mr. Robert Stephenson, one of the Commissaries of the Town now called Dalysburg. The deceased, who was much respected, was interred on Thursday with military honours; the Rifle Company, to which he belonged, attending for that purpose, after having done honour to the anniversary of their Sovereign's birth at the Fort.
On Friday, in Cumingsburg, Mr. Roberts.

The return of the celebration of the British Sovereign's Birth-day is one of those occasions, upon which, however often repeated, the public joy never appears to suffer any diminution. Whether abroad or at home - whether rolling in wealth or struggling with poverty, the firing of the first complimentary cannon on that day imparts the same exhilarating sentiment to his subjects, and is in general productive of the same effects.

On Thursday last, his Majesty completed the 69th year of his age; and, though we cannot, like our London brethren, spin out a long account of the morning being ushered in with the ringing of bells - of flags being hoisted on all the churches and steeples - of new carriages going to court - or of new dresses sported at the Ball - we can with truth aver that every respect was shewn the day which could be done during the absence of his Excellency the Governor at Berbice. The Royal Standard was hoisted at Fort William Frederick, and the troops in garrison paraded as usual, under the command of the Hon. Colonel Nicholson. The Militia, commanded by Major Macrae, mustered in their ground about ten o'clock, (strong, as was to be expected after the delicate terms in which the request was made in the polite letter of General and Governor Montgomerie to the Major, inserted in our last week's paper); and, after being inspected, marched down and joined the line, taking the left of the Royals. A feu de joie was then fired, and three enthusiastic cheers given in honour of the day; the Hon. Colonel himself giving the word in a style which made the scene more impressive. The whole then passed him in review; and, notwithstanding the rain which fell during the whole time, had completely spoiled it, as a military spectacle, the Hon. Colonel expressed his approbation of their appearance and marching, and complimented them with the full band of the Royals back.
In the afternoon, the Colonel gave a grand dinner to the Garrison.

We understand it is the intention of several gentlemen of the Colony to celebrate his Majesty's Birth-day on the corresponding day in old style, which is the 15th instant, by a Subscription Ball and Supper. There will no doubt be a great assembly of all the respectable Ladies and Gentlemen of the two Colonies. That worthy Character and public-spirited Gentleman Thomas Cuming, Esq. appears to be the promoter of this patriotic entertainment, assisted, we believe, by Messrs. M'Leod, Macrae, and Fitzgerald, as Stewards.
