Yesterday morning, one hundred and fifty of the Guards marched from Windsor for Reading, on their way to Hnngerford. Yesterday morning, the first divisim of the Slit Regiment, recently returned from France, arrived at Brighton. The Ent divison of the 55th Regiment proceeded from. thence immediately on their march for Bristol, to embark for Ireland. The detachment of the 74th Regiment. occupying Hospital, Kilfinan, KilmaHock, and Bruff, are to be relieved by equal numbers of the 93d Regiment, from Limerick. The draft of 100 men from the 2d Battalion of the 84th It.giment, which were te leave Limerick in Fe hi nary, to join the tint Battalion in India, on Wed nesday last recidbeil counter orders. It is supposed that the ant Battalion are on their return to Europe. The 2d West York Regiment, whose headquar ter: are at Newcastle, in the County of Limerick, have received orders to embark forthwith at Cork, for England: All their detachments in the County of Kerry are to be relieved by equal numbers from the 74th Regiment. with the exception of Listowel, which is to consist of ten rank and file less than the present detachment. Five companies of the 50th Regiment have been (4.ciered from Omagh to Londonderry. The re. aaaiiiing part of the Regiment are quartered At En niskillen. _ _ _ In vsnsequence of a recent transactitin which took place in the garrison of Portsmouth, on the breaking up the second Battalion of the tidt or Kivg's Regt swot, his Royal Highness the roststas:oeu•tx-Cittu has signified his displeasure at the conduct of Lien tenant•Colonel Gomm, in the following Letter, ad dressed to Major-General GORDON : " Horse Guards, January 12, MC. " Sta—l had the honour of submitting to the Conititank!:r in Chief your letter of the 9th, and its enclosure, detailing the cir cumstances attending the destruction of the Colours t,i the A• carol Battalion of the late Bth, King's Regiment or Foot ; from which:t appears to his Royal Highness, that Litutenant-Colonel Ogilvie was the leader of this transaction; tha: the Commar,dee of the Battalion was himself she promoter of this outrage ariinst discipline and common decency Which would scarcely hav .? bk4l pardonable in the youngest Ensign In.tbe army. The Comm.-miler in t Ishii has commanded me to express, in the stront;est terms, Ids surprise and concern ' 'that an Officer of Lieutenant-Colonel Ogilv.e's rank, whose services had caused his Royal Highness to form a favourable opinion of him, and to entertain expectations of his future distmcdon, should have proved himself so forgetful of his duty, and so regardless of his own character, and that of the corps u;.der his immediate command. And his Royal High ness coesiders it as a great aggravation .of his offence, his having', sanctioned the mockery of placir.g centinels over the remnants of the colours, by el inch means making a private soldier participate in this mock and extraordinsry breach of discipline, thereby ten dering sue act notorious to the whole Battalion. The Comman der in Chief is disposed, on this occasion, to allow the merits of the father to palliate the misconduct of the son; and from respect to the memory of the late Gen. Ogilvie, and a consideration of his long and faithful services, his Royal Highness will spare Lieu tenant-Colonel Ogilvie the disgrace and fatal consequences of a trial before a Court Martial; but the Commander in Chief de sires that you win direct this letter to be inserted In all the Order Books, and of the King's Regiment of Toot, and that you will take care that its contents are forthwith communicated to Lieu tenant-Colunel Ogilvle.—l have the honour to be, " Major-Geo.

The Bill introduced at the end of last Session; Into the House of Commons, entitled "A BM for more effec tually preventing the unfawful Importation of Slaves, and the holding free Persons in Slavery in the British Colonies," has excited serious attention throughout the British West India Colonies. A series of Reso lutions uion the subject, passed at a late Meeting in the City, is given in our first page. The question, we understand, will be revived in Parliament at an early period of the Session. Mr. Fox's Birth-day was celebtatei in Edinburgh, in Glasgow, in Greenock, and in•other parts of Scot land, on Wednesday. BURNS THE POST.—The anniversary of the birth of this distinguished ornament of his country was cele brated at Edinburgh on Thursday last. Upwards of one hundred admirers of the bard were present. The chair was filled by ALEX. BoswEll., Esq. ot Auchin. leek, supported•by the Hon. Wu. MAULE, M. P. Among the persons of rank who were present, were the Earl of LEVEN, the Hon. Captain GORDON, the Hon. Captain NAPIER, Mr. FORBES, M.P. &c. &c. And among those oflitemry eminence, were WALTER SCOTT, gsq. Mr. JEFFERY, &c. Many appropriate toasts were given in the course of the evening, and the entertainment went off with the utmost hilarity and eclat. It was resolved, that the meeting should be in Ititure triennial. COVENT GARDEN.—This, Theatre was numerously attended yesterday ; the Midsummer Night's Dream went off with great stint ; and in the Pantomime a new trick was introduced--that of bottling off Har kquia. A figure of Harlequin actually descended into a large funnel, which was placed in the Quart bottle, and seemed to pass into the vessel just mentioned.— The head and shoulders were soon got out of the *ay. It was some time before the lower extremities —or the *per, as they then became, could be dis posed of, and some were apprehensive the motley hero would not get his foot in it. This fear proved vain, and the expanding funnel and bottle swallowed all to the perfect satistation of the audience, few of whom perceived how this trick was managed, or sus pected either funnel or bottle of fraud.

HZLINA : At present we are cruizing off St. Helena, to pre ! vent as much as possible all communication with that island, on account of our state prisoner. Bonaparte is at present most narrowly watched, and on parole not to go beyond the limits of the little garden, &c. surrounding the cottage he inhabits. He has always about his person an officer, and at least two or three serjeants. Notwithstanding all this he is never heard to complain, but seems perfectly calm and resigned to his fate. He still keeps up his dignity with those about him, and they never approach him covered, nor do they wear their hats in his presence . I remarked the day . I dined with the Admiral, during our out ward-bound passage, that he had a plate of each dish on the table put before him by his servant, and some he partook of, others were removed without his eating any. N The same ceremony was observed in handing round wine a glass of each sort on a salver was oc casionally presented, and, if inclined, he drank one; if not, the salver was removed without his speaking. He always preserved a great degree of stateliness. He never asked how he was to be disposed of, and was perfectly passive in every transaction. I merely , mention these trifling particulars, as every thing re specting so extraordinary a person is interesting : ' " I am absolutely tired of being a kind of oda gaoler, more especially on such a wretched station as this, where we can scarcely get any thing to eat for love or money. Miserable fowls, ten shillings a couple; beef not to be had ; and mutton abominably dear. Our poor fellows caught a small whale the other day, and although the flesh was ten times as tough as an old liorse, they ate it with the greatest avidity, as if it had beenthe most delicate morceau ; of the fat we made train-oil, a perquisite for the purser, of no small value, as candles are not more plentiful than better things. —We get vegetables sometimes—very good pota toes, ten dollars a bag ; and had butter at 35. 9.1. a poUnd ; to sum up ail, it is ,enormously expensive. The soldiers are better situa:ed, being allowed double pay. We have iipw been cruizing off this island near five weeks, and expect to be recalled or relieved in a few days." HAZARD, BURNS, and Co. Contractors for the Lottery, respectfully beg'leave to impress upon the public mind, that in the present Scheme there is No Fixed or Super-added Prize ; those of 25,000 Guineas, together with those of 20,000 Pounds, being put indiscriminately into the Wheel, with those of Five Thousand and others, may, by a very easy possibility, be all drawn on the First, or on any suc ceeding Day of the Drawing : added to this, the circumstance of there being in this Lottery not more than half the usual proportion of Blanks, will, they trust, ensure very general approbation.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JANUARY 29. T. Ls BLANC. Eq. the Master of the Crnwn office, took the oaths this morning in Coact, on his appointment to the situation of Master .4 Trinity Hall, Cambridge, in the room of Sir W. WINNa, deceased. V. MgCLEA N. Mr. SCARLITT :hewed cause in this case, which was a question as to the privilege of the Defendant, as Major of the Tower; namely, whether he was pro. tested from arrest or not ? He bad moved to be dis charged last Term—lst, on the ground that he was personally protected from arrest, as holding a skim don of important trust i namely, the government of the Tower in the absence of the Constable and Lteu tenant of the place; and, 2d, that he was arrested on his return from Carlton-House, where be had been on special business with the Regent, within the limits of the Tower. His affidavit stated that the liberties of the Tower extended twenty yards west of the Spar-gate, and that he was arrested within ten yards. The ATTORNEY•GILIFICRAL wished to file a further affidavit, as be had not, on the present affidavit, a copy of the Major's appointment, and there had also been handed to him, since he came into Court, sev e -. ral extracts from old records upon the subject. Mr. Scmtur objected, and stated, that his affida vit stated the Defendant was arrested fs;rds of the Spur Gate, and his affidavit oak went to the liberty westward. Lord ELLENSIROUOII observed, as the case stood on the affidavits now before the Court, the northwird swearing had defeated the Defeniant's cL4im, hut he might come again with better materials and an atnend!:d airiJavit.—Rule discharged. THE KING v. WADLEY. The defendant, in this case, had been convicted lt the Gloucester Assizes'of disturbing a religious con gregation. ssernhled at Ncwnham, in Gloucestershire. Mr. icnvis, in the course of last Term, obtained a Rule in arrest of judgment, en the grounds that this was a prosecution, founded on the 52.1 of the King, chap. 155. which provided, that any pet son charged with ciisturbi , g any religious cingie.;a tian; shotld, in thc• first instance, be taken heore a Magistrate, who, if lee should consider the come plaint as wt.. 11 f should cr,'.l on the dafelid.. ant to enter into recognizances of at'so, to appear and answer the complaint at the next General Qa xter- Sessiont ; and in case of his not, fi;v:i•ig such security, to commit him ; and it at the Sessi ,ns he should be found guilty, he should then pay a tine of £4.1. In the present case, the prosecutors had 3CM .ved the proceedings by certiorari from the Quarter Sessions to the Assizes, where the defendant was found guilty. Mr. Jervis since moved an arrest of judgment, on the grounds that the Act of Parliament confibed the jui is diction to the Quarter Sessions, and took it a way twin the Court of King's Bench; and therefore, that the certiorari, in the present case, ought not to have gone. Mr. ABBOTT was now heard in support of the con viction, and cited several cases, in which it had been held, that unless there was a specific clause in the Act, negativing the right of a superior Court to grant Certiorari, that right still remained, although the ju risdicuon to try tire offence was given to the General or Quarter Sessions. The COURT, after hearing Mr. CAMPBELL on the same side, and Mr. JERVIS and Mr. TAuteros in sup port of the Rule, decided that the right to grant s Certiorari in the present case, laid with the Court, and that the conviction at the Assizes was a good con viction. The Rule, in arrest of judgment, was thew, fore discharged. Mr. GArrav, Town Clerk of Exeter, has had a noble legacy of about twenty thousand pounds lett him by his friend, Judge HirArn.
