ARRIVALS. - The schooner Joseph, Strickland, from Barbados; PhÏnix, Norburn, from Tobago; and a Boat from Berbice, with the March Mail for these Colonies - the Packet having proved leaky, remained at Surinam for repairs.

The Barbados Papers by the Joseph, are to the 4th instant, but they afford nothing of extraordinary interest - having had no arrival from Europe. The Packet's Papers being only to the 17th of March, of course we have no novelty of importance from that source.

LOCALITIES. [centered]

The death of any individual, is the most melancholy announcement that can be made. But, it is more particularly so, when he departs this life, who, placed in an exalted situation, has displayed characteristics - equally exalted.

A martyr to his zeal for the welfare of the community he governed – died on Tuesday last – our Acting Governor. His Excellency Major-General CARMICHAEL – is no more!

A soldier from his cradle, long has been the time spent in the service of his King and Country; and many are the services he rendered them. In respect to his administration here, we decline any investigation of its merits or demerits. Perfection can never be synonymous with Mortality; so, if there are some, who have discovered errors in any of his acts of government - others may be found perhaps, who think that his name deserves, a distinguished seat in the memory and affections of Demerary.

The ceremony of interment was performed on Wednesday; and in a manner, corresponding with his rank. The Militia assembled in Stabroek, at three in the afternoon - and soon after, marched to the Camp, and took possession of the allotted ground - as did also the Troops in garrison. The Garrison-Commandant being, of course, chief mourner on the occasion, the command of the whole devolved on Lieutenant-Colonel Otto of the Militia, and Captain M'Carthy of the 60th, and Captain Cart of the Militia, repeated the word to their respective battalions. We never recollect to have seen such a concourse of people. The remains were deposited in a vault at the foot of the flag staff. The following is a copy of the order of procession:
[Transcriber's note: the following are centered with the column of the newspaper]
A Detachment of Light Dragoons,
Rifle Company of the Demerary Militia,
Assistant Quarter-and-Barrack-Master-General,
Lieutenant-Colonel Otto, Commanding Demerary Militia,
A Body of Dragons,
Royal Artillery,
First Battalion Demerary Militia,
Second Battalion 60th Regiment.
Commanding-Officer of the Brigade,
Major of Brigade and Aid-de-Camp,
A Detachment of Grenadiers,
Drums and Fifes,

Drum-Major,
Civil Department,
Pall Bearers - CORPS - Pall Bearers. [sic - Corps, not Corpse]
Chief Mourner represented by Lieut. Col. Codd, Command-
ing the Troops,
Relations of the Deceased,
Suite, two and two.
After the funeral service, a salute of three rounds of nine
pieces of cannon.

As soon as possible on Wednesday, in consequence of the decease of the Major General, the Honorable Members of the Court of Policy assembled, and swore in, as Acting-Governor, Lieutenant-Colonel CODD. Since which, His Excellency has been diligently employed in taking over the government papers, and giving audience to the public functionaries. How long the present Acting-Governor will preside over the destinies of these colonies, is uncertain; but it appears to be the general opinion, that he would ever prove a guardian - worthy of so sacred a charge.

The Eliza Packet, Stevens, which sailed hence in January last, arrived at Falmouth on the 11th of March.

The homeward bound fleet, late from this port, under convoy of the Coquette, arrived at Grenada on the 23d ultimo, and departed for St. Thomas on the 27th. On her return, the Coquette, put into Barbados for repairs; but she is to resume her station here, as soon as possible.

Cleared from the Custom-House, on the 12th instant, the sloop Gimblet, Moodie, for Cayenne; and on the 14th, the schooner Fame, Greenidge, for Barbados.

A sealed bag will be dispatched from the Post-Office, by the Fame, Capt. Greenidge, to-morrow - addressed to the care of the Post-Master of Barbados.
