Port News.
FALMOUTH, July 2. The Sabina sloop of war arrived last Sunday with Capt. S. Hood Linzee, of the Union, lately wounded by a seaman of that ship at Lisbon. The wound is considered to be dangerous. The assassin had been tried by a Court Martial, condemned, and executed. Capt. Linzee was landed immediately, and conveyed to Penzance, his place of residence.
The Princess Amelia packet arrived the same day from Sicily, Malta, and Gibraltar. Gen. Maitland was ready to sail from Sicily, with a fine little army of 6,000 men; the destination was generally supposed to be Catalonia, rather than Corfu. General Ballasteros had had a very sharp action, and had retired to near San Roque; he was ultimately out-numbered, but behaved heroically, and took many prisoners, including some officers of distinction. The Spanish loss amounted to 1500 men, and that of the French was very considerable.
PLYMOUTH, July 3. On Tuesday arrived the Regulus-store-ship, from Lisbon, and is said to have brought information to Government that Lord Wellington is marching on Salamanca, within ten miles of which place his advanced guard had arrived on the 13th of June.
Came in the Findlay, Capt. Harris, from Gibraltar, with wines for this port: she sailed 23 days since, with forty others, under convoy of the Victorious, of 74 guns, and the Rivoli French prize, of 80 guns, but parted company some time since to the westward. The Rivoli is hourly expected to arrive here, for the purpose of being inspected for his Majesty's service, being quite a new ship.
Arrived the Crocodile, of 18 guns, from a cruize; and the Edward, of Swansea, from Cork, with provisions for this port.
PORTSMOUTH, July 4 . It is reported that several gun-vessels, which have been some time preparing here, are, with some small craft, to be put under the command of Lord Cochrane, and sent on a secret mission.
The Queen Charlotte, of 110 guns, built at Deptford (which has been fumigated for the dry rot, and is now in docks in Plymouth yard), is found, on opening, to be in such a state, that every top timber is to be taken out, and every tree-nail used in her to be driven out, preparatory to a general inspection.- The ship has never been to sea, except in the passage from Deptford to Plymouth. - The Swinger gun-brig, built only seven years since at Topsham, was docked this week, and being found rotten, is ordered to be broken up.- The Endymion, 44, is housed over, and is undergoing a complete repair.

WINCHESTER.
SATURDAY, JULY 4.
On Monday last the Hampshire Society for the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church held their first annual meeting. The Vice-Presidents and Committee, the Mayor and Corporation, with a very full congregation, attended the Cathedral, where an appropriate and impressive discourse, pointing out, in a peculiarly forcible manner, the merits of the new system of education, was delivered by the Lord Bishop of Gloucester. All the children of the Central Schools were present, and the contributions collected at the church by the Stewards (the Earl of Northesk and the Dean of Winchester) amounted to �37. A very favourable report of the progress of the society was afterwards made at St.John's House, when the children of the Central Schools were also examined, and afforded general satisfaction, by their proficiency and behaviour. They were then treated with a dinner, by private contributions, and presented a sight truly gratifying to every benevolent mind. The kind attention of the Ladies Committee, and their friends, on this occasion, and in the arrangement of the Girl's School, was particularly conspicuous. - The supporters of the institution dined together at the White Hart Inn. Among the company present were - the Earl of Northesk, Lord Bolton, the Hon. and Rev. Archdeacon De Grey, the Hon. and Rev. Augustus Legge, the Rev. Sir H. Rivers, Bart., Sir W. Heathcote, Bart., Sir H. Mildmay, Bart., Rev. Sir C. Rich, Bart., Sir T. Baring, Bart. the Members of the County, the Dean and resident Prebendaries of the Cathedral, many of the Fellows of the College, the Mayor and Corporation, together with several others of the Clergy and Gentry; and every one displayed an earnest desire to promote the great objects of this laudable undertaking.
Our Races commenced on Tuesday last, when five horses started for his Majesty's Plate of One Hundred Guineas, which was won by two heats by Mr. Biggs's Camerton.- Same day, the Sweepstake of 5gs. each worth �25 added by the Members of the County, was won by Mr. Biggs's Demetrius, beating Kangeroo;- and the other Sweepstakes of 5gs. each was won by Rail, beating Lord C.H. Somerset's Angelo.
On Wednesday three horses started for the City Plate of Fifty Pounds, and came in as follows:

| Lord C. Somerset's Julian | 1 | 3 | 0 | 2 |
| Mr. Radcliffe's Smallhopes | 2 | 2 | 3 | dr |
| | |
Same day, the Nobleman's and Gentleman's Plate of Fifty Pounds was won at two heats by Mr. Hallett's Coelebus, beating Capt. Vyse's Bellator; and the sweepstake was won by Rail, beating Mr. Biggs's Beresford.
On Thursday, Sir H. Lippencott's Azara won the Lady's Plate of Fifty Pounds at one heat, beating Mr. Dilly's Rodrigo and Mr. Budd's Blemish.
Five horses were named for the Cup, but two only started, and it was won by Mr. Peach's Romana, beating Demetrius.
The horses being well matched afforded excellent sport on Tuesday and Wednesday, but on Thursday it was very dull.
On Sunday last the Earl and Countess of Moira, arrived at Humby's Hotel, Christchurch, and after attending divine service at the Church, visited Bure Cottage, on the Mudeford beach, his Lordship's intended residence, from hence they set out on their return to town.
On Monday last, at a Council of the Bailiff and Corporation of Andover, Mr. Cole, of Weyhill, having passed a regular examination in the Latin and Greek Classics, and in the usual forms of Composition, was unanimously appointed to succeed the Rev.

Sunday afternoon, as a waterman and five young men of Southampton were sailing in a small pleasure boat, on Southampton water, when near the break water the boat sunk, and one of them, a servant of S.S. Taylor, Esq. was drowned. By timely assistance the others were saved, though two of them, when picked up, appeared lifeless, but they were soon recovered.- Fifteen persons have been drowned in the neighbourhood of Southampton, by different accidents, within seven months.
SALISBURY.
MONDAY, JULY 6, 1812.

On Saturday last Sir Thos. Plumer, Knight. was sworn in his Majesty's Attorney-General, and Wm. Garrow, Esq. his Majesty's Solicitor-General.
Joseph Jekyll, Esq. M.P. for Calne in this county, and one of Majesty's Council, is appointed Attorney-General to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, in the place of Mr. Garrow.

On Tuesday last came on the Election at Exeter College, Oxford, when, after the necessary examination had been gone through, Mr. Coleridge, scholar of Corpus, was elected a Fellow; and Mr. Cutler of Exeter, an Exhibitioner of that Society. There was a very strong opposition.
At a full meeting of the feoffees of Blundell's school, Tiverton, on Monday (St.Peter's day), Master Charles Plucknett, (son of the Rev. James Plucknett, of Wincanton), was elected to Gilbert's exhibition. Master Clay received a silver medal for the best composition of latin verse; and Master Follatt a silver medal for speaking.
The Central School for the county of Dorset opened at Dorchester on Thursday last, with about sixty children.
On Tuesday the shearing of the Anglo-Merino Flock of William Tinker, Esq. of Littleton Pannell, in this county, commenced at his Farm, of Imber, on Salisbury Plain, when great satisfaction was experienced by the numerous Agriculturists and other Gentlemen present, on observing the superior and increasing fineness of the Wool, which it is thought will bear a comparison with any Wool in this kingdom of whatever country it may be grown. Mr. Tinker caused proportions of Wool from various fleeces to be properly secured and washed by Mr. Olive, of Frome, at the time of shearing, for the satisfaction of his friends present, when it was ascertained that the waste in weight of the Wool so cleaned from the yoke, was less than half: and the fallacy of the idea that Wool becomes deteriorated in quality which is grown in this country, was completely demonstrated.
On Wednesday last was married, at Andover, Mr. Withers, of the Lymington Free Grammar School, to Miss Marcer, of the former town.
On Thursday was married, in Shroton church, by the Rev. George Augustus Seymer, Mr. Thomas Burt, of Stourpain, to Mary eldest daughter of Mr. Joseph Longman, master of the Free School there.

On Saturday died the Rev. W.B. Portal, B.D. Fellow of St.John's College, Oxford.
On Thursday died, at the Vicarage at Bradford Abbas, near Sherborne, Miss Coates, youngest daughter of the Rev.Mr. Coates.
Yeovil fair on Monday was but thinly supplied with sheep; great prices were obtained for those sold, but the purchasers were not numerous, and the greater part remained on hand. The shew of both fat and lean beasts was as great as ever remembered; the former met a ready sale at high prices, but the latter on the decline. Horses of the cart kind were plenty, but very few sold. Pigs were also in great abundance, but sale very dull.
On Friday se'nnight, about eleven o'clock at night, a passenger by the Mercury stage-coach, from London to Exeter fell from the roof of the coach on Thorney Down, and his head pitching on a stone, he was killed on the spot. He appeared a respectable man, and we under-stand he was an overseer of the smiths employed in Russell's waggon concern, and had been up the road paying the men their wages. An inquest having been taken, the body was on Monday interred at Handley.
On Monday John Linchkey, a soldier in the 74th regiment of foot, was examined before two of the Magistrates of this city, on suspicion of having stolen five one-pound Notes, from his comrade, Martin Deverix, an Irish lad who had recently enlisted. The complainant stated, that he had the notes when he went to bed on the preceding Friday night, in the same room as Linchkey, but they were gone on Saturday morning; but the prisoner being searched, and none of the property found on him, the complaint was dismissed. On Tuesday Deverix again applied to the Magistrates, saying he had a vision in the night, which told him his notes were behind the brass plate on Linchkey's cap. To satisfy him, Linchkey was again brought up, the plate was removed, and the notes were found. After some further investigation, he is committed to Fisherton.- To account for Deverix's vision, it is probable that he retired to rest with a full conviction that his comrade had his notes, and whilst busied in conjecturing where they could be concealed, the thought that they were behind the plate occurred just as he was dropping to sleep, and was renewed in a dream; when he awoke, he was himself persuaded that the disclosure was supernatural. But whatever gave him the prepossession, it led to the recovery of his property.
THE Rev. J. GREENLY, A.B. having resigned the Foundation Grammar School at Andover, in consequence of his appointment in the Cathedral, informs his friends, that he intends to receive PUPILS as usual, and has prepared a HOUSE in CRANE-STREET for their reception.
