''‘, 4 ".. 4.• The Etat gi s es a further account of the riot at Pavia, ' and states, that the number of students were up wards of two thousand. On the 25th, about eight , hundred of them accompanied their companion to his funeral ; after which a serious affray took place : four were killed and 48 wouneed. The garrison had only six wounded. Fifty-eight students have been arrested,and tranquillity has been re-established. TheJautnaldes De bats entertains its-readers with a long descriptim of the festival celebrated by the French Ambassador at Rome, in honour of the coronation of his master. S 3 ingenious was his Excellency in absurdity, that he caused an Egyptian obelisk to be erected on the occasion, and ce lebrated the virtues of his master in an ancient hiero glyphic—a language which had been lost for two . thousand years. The . Quctidienne, which is more hostile to the Greeks than the Austrian Observer, contains a private letter from Cosfu, which asserts that Navarino had captu. lated ; and that the gsrrison, to the number of 1,500, with all the inhabitants, had been carried in English and Austrian vessels to •Calartot a. Acc,:rding to thif Correspondent, the losses of the Egyptian fleet In the action of the 12th of May bad been greatly exag gerated by Colon:1 Rorrteas, and the affairs of the Motea were in such a desperate condition, tl.at many families emigrated to the lonian Islands.- 1 This le:ter is dated the 4th of June, and probably refers to the possession which Egyptia•ss had gained of the ruins :of the old town of Navarino ; for all the other Papers have letters from Cosfu, dated the 15th of June, eleven days later, which say not a word about the pretended capitulation of Navarino, but confirm the previous statements that the greater part of Modon had been blown up in the confl 46°3 of the 12th May.

An unfortunate affray occurred at Pavia, last month, between a party of the military and some students, in which three of the latter were kale.' and several wounded. We subjoin an account of the fatal event from the Nott velliste Vaudois, of the Ist inst. received this morning. The Constitutionnel, Paris Paper, in its notice of the riot, states that the military were Tyrolese soldiers, and that it was the Prefect RAGAZZI who ordered them to file. One of the students killed was of the name of GUERRA. The following is the account to which we have alluded : PAVIA, JUNE 25. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. A very fatal event has taken place in this city. The day before yesterday we sew eight 'Students brought into the city, conducted by soldiers and gendarmes, who had their sabres drawn, and dragged these young men along as if they were malefactors. This sight drew together a great crowd of citizens and students.. , The eight persons were led to the Police Office, before which a multitude of students assembled, - to learn the cause of this arrest. The tumult and disputed . which ensued, served only to increase tlle number of the curious. They leaf ned, at length, that the eight young, men had been arrested for having bathed and swam.in a prohibited place. The trifling nature of the offeriee, and the severity of the Police, excited general indigna tion. Cries of Let them go 1 let them go 1 down with the wretches !" were beard on every side. The Corps de Garde of the Police, the gendarmes, and the Police . Officers, placed themselves at the entrance of the Office : their presence and threats only increased the tumult ; and the entreaties of the Professors and Officers of the University were unable to • ap pease the indignation of the young► men.—The day was drawing to a close ; the multitude is the square was increasing, when the soldiers loaded their muskets in the sight of the crowd. Some rersons fled, but the incensed Students, instead of being intimidated, advanced against the guard. The latter opened i!self a way with its sabres and bayonets. The Students at tacked it with large stones, and with the benches from the neighbouring coffee-houses, which fell upon the guard like hail. One of the officers of the police or dered the soldiers to fire. Two muskets were discharged. The people thinking they had been charged with powder only, other shots were fired,and a Student was seen to fall dead. Immediately the soldiers retreated into the office, and shut the door, leaving it, however, a little ajar to fire their pieces at the students, who, though without arms, did not retreat. At the end the soldiers fired from the windows of the police office; a gnat number of persons were wounded, and several lolled; among the latter, were three students. No Swiss Student was either killed or wounded. The Duke of YORK transacted military business with the KAKI yesterday. Thursday the Earl and Countess of JERSEY enter tained the Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, Prince Leprous, and a select party to dinner, at their residence in Berkeley-square. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of Giouck.svett vi sited the Duke and Duchess of CAsseeme. The Earl of WESTMORELAND gave a grand Dinner yesterday, at his residence in Grosvenor-square. Yesterday afternoon, about three o'clock, the Duke and Duchess of CiaIiIRIDGE, the Duke of GLoucssTrit, and Prince Lsorous went on board a King's barge, at Whitehall stairs, and proceeded down the River, and inspected the Tunnel making under the Thames. The Royal party returned to Whitehall-stairs about half-past five o'clock. The Right Hon. JOHN I3ECKETT. Judge Advocate- Geller:11,11ml an audience of his AIAJESis on Thursday, and received his MAJESTY ' S commands un several cases Of Courts- blartial. Yesterday morning.about twelve o'clock, the Cabinet Ministers assembled at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Allairs L in Downing-street ; rotor; them were the Earls of I waft root., HANEOwar.

Cabinet sat in deliberation till past two o'clock. A Special Board of the 1..-rds of the Tleaswy was held yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, at theTreasuryCh .mbers, at which the Earl of Livrairoot., the CHANCRLLOR of the Factitt Quart, Lord GRANVILLE SO:4EIISM and the whult of the Lords of the TERaLtay were prtrent. Their Lordships separated soon octet Aye o'cloCk. _'l.. I and it is represented that justice would be more easily rendered to the individVals claiming admission, by giving doable or treble casts in the case of an unjtati- &Ale refusal to admit. Although upon the same grounds upon which they have confined themselves to the collection of informa tion as to rh, civil disabilities cf the Roman. Catholics, the COMmittee abstain horn doing more than to report the evidence they have received on the practical effect of the present stwe of the Elective Franchise, they feel it necessary to state, that it may be found expedient to adopt snare further and moreeffectual provision against the creation of fictitious or fraudulent qualifications, under the law as it now exists. It has been strongly recommended that some provi sion should be made for the relief of the eat' erne distress of the poorer classes in age or infirmity, it not by law, (to which great objections have been stated) at least by organising the collection and distribution el' cha t itable contributions. In addiion to the suggestions above stated, various ethers have also been received, respecting the encou ragement of emigratinn—the extension of public works of unque stianah:e utility, by reasonable facilities af f weed by the Government—the extension of the fisheries—improvements in the state of the Lunatic Asylums and houses of Industry—•he regulation of abolition of Manor Cow ts—the constitution and powers of. Vestries—and respecting many details in the subor dinate administration of justice. Fo: . these, and other' . matters, which are in different degrees deserving of at teution, the Committee beg to refer to the evidence, %here they will be found under the heads in the Index. The Committee cannot close this Report without expressing a pleasure that they have received from the concurrent testimony of so many v itnesses, who, in speaking of the (Afferent measures which have been of late adopted for the improvement of the state of Ire land, have, in a greater or less degree, agreed in at.tri bitting to them a triOrly favourable effect. The establishment of the police and constabulary force—the revision of the Magistracy, as far as it has gone—the meeting of the Magistrates in Petty Ses sions—the administration of justice by the Assistant Barristers—the change which has taken place of late years in the mode of appointing Sheriffs—the public works and rtaken by the Executive Government—the alteration in the system of the Distillery Laws, and in the general mode of collecting the Revenue—the re mission of all direct taxes—the repeal of the Union Duties—and the increased facility of commercial in- tercourse ; have all contributed, not only to remove _ grievances, but to improve the situation of the country. The composition for tithe, under the authority of the Acts passed in the two last Sessions of Parliament, has been hitherto as rapid and beneficial as could have been expected under the circumstances of the times; and the greatest advantages may reasonably be anticipated fa our the fur ther proi:ress of this important measure. . T;ie restored tranquillity of the country has already afforded the opportunity for a more extensive introduc tion of different branches of manufacture ; and should it, f. riunately, continue uninterrupted, the best hopes may be entertained, that, by furnishing employment to the poorer classes, one of the greatest incentives to disturb. since may be permanently removed.

THE ARMY. . Wednesday, six Troops of the 'Scotch Greys marched into Tps. siich, and on 'Thursday morning four Troops left that town, on their route to Norwich. Tuesday, the East Suffolk Militia were inspected in the Ca valry Barracks, Ipswich, by the Right Honourable the earl of Eurrort. The Regiment, after receiving his Lordship, passed by in review, when the line was formed and the Battalion went through several evolutions, agreeable to the new system ; the wheel of the close column, and formation of solid square, were performed with the greatest precision; the advance in line in quick time was admirable, as well as the different firings. Major Bence com manded the Regiment in the several evolutions. After the gene ral salute, his Lordship ordered the Regiment to be formed into a square, when he addresse.T them, expressing his entire approba tion of the progress they bad made during the short period they had been assembled. Indeed it was admitted by many military men, who were present, that the whole would have done credit to any old established Regiment, and it is truly astonishing how men, in so short a period, could be brought to such a state of discipline— it reff-cts great credit upon the Adjutant-Captain litexuaat, who his been unremitting in his exertions. We cannot close our re marks without noticing, that the gentlemanly conduct and spirited liberality of the Officers, together with the uniform good conduct of the men, entitle them to the best wishes of the town and neigh hoorhood, —lpswich inertial, Jul!' Y. Saturday, the 25ili ult. the Galloway Regiment of Militia", minded by Colonel Maiwrit,, jun. of • Cardonness, was inspected and reviewed at Kirlict.dbright, by Colonel *Committee 'MAX.. weer., late of his Majesty's :,oth Regiment, who was pleased to express his most unqualified approbation of their steadiness and discipline. Although the new system of maticeuvritig adopted by the Army was introduced for the first time, the corps seemed com pletely at home in it. The celerity and accuracy with which a Ps• dicious selection of evolutions was performed, was truly astonish ing. On Tuesday la't, the men were dismissed to their homes, their period of drilling being completed. hin.rrta.—lf we may judge from our Militia, the life of a sol dier is far from being an idle one. Upon an average, they are drilled six hours every day, and have already attained a degree of steadiness, which seems quite surprising, considering the short time they have been embodied. Monday morning, they wet e marched into Dumfries for the first time, and performed a few movements with so much precision. that a stranger might have mistaken them for troops of the line. The Noble Commander spares no pains, and though the duty may be hard, his Lordship himself takes his full share of it—being generally the first person in the field in the morning, and the last to leave it, after the drill is over.—Duns- I fries Courier. DUBLIN CASTLE, JUNE, 1525. His Excellency the Lotto LIkUTCNANT has been pleased to sign Commission: for the following Gentlemen to be Officers in the un dermentioned Yeomanry Corps, vis.

It was generally expected that this Nobleman would have been put on his trial this morning for the violent assault and battery committed by his Lordship on one of the St. James's watchman, with•a poker, at Stevens's hotel, in Bond street, and in conse quence the Court was very full, but the auditory were disappointed, as the tfbal has been moved by his Lordship, by Certiorari, into the Court of Kines Bench, and will come on next Term. Mr. James Payne, a Sheriffs Officer's Assistant, stood indicted for violently assaulting, on the 12th June last, Archibald Brakie, one of the watchmen of StJames's.—lt appeared from the evidence of the watchman, that about twelve o'clock on the night in question, he was on in. Regent-street, near the Quadrant, and stood opposite the house No. 102. The defendant, without the slightest provoca tion, took his stick from him, and on civilly requesting him to return it, he struck him repeatedly with his fists, felled him to the ground,' and gave him a pair of black eyes. • On the past of the defendant, several witnesses were called, who proved that the watchman gave the first offence, behaved in a most indecent manner, and even charged another person with the assault. The witnesses all declared the prosecutor was intoxicated. The CHAIRMAN recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury, without hesitation, found the defendant Not Guilty. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The father instantly went to the Mansion House, to state the case to the LORD MAYOR. Yesterday afternoon, a fire broke out in two un finished houses, situated in Vest-place, the back of Mont Feller Gardens, which were partly consumed. It is supposed to have originated from a spade in a tem perary fire-place, used for the purpose of heating glue, having set fire to some shavings.

At the late Lancaster Mee., Sir P. Musgrave 's colt, on pulling up after the third beat for the £5O on Tuesday, was found to be in a dreadful state, the near binil.foot front the fetlock joint hanging on merely by a little skin in the front, and the pastern bone and small pacaern joint were literary shivered to atoms. Thomas Lye, who rude hint that heat, found a little failure in action about half a mile front home, but the extent of the remarkable and horrid frac ture was not perceptible until he was in the act of pulling up, when within half a neck. A boy had rode the colt the two first heats, but was too weak, and the colt comequently ran to disadvantage, or the general opinion was that he would have won, he evidently having the superiority of speed. The poor anima was immediately put out of his misery. No one would have thought it possible that a kg could have been so - smashed while galloppin4 ou so smooth a surface.

Mr. Snow, the surgeon who first saw him, is in constant at tendance upon him, and was with him at a late hour last night. His own friends and domestics attend him. The place where the parties met was in Highgate Wood, between the old turnpike on the new road and the Wellington, at a spot celebrated for pigeon-shoot- ing matches. During the past month of June disease in the metro polis assumed rather a serious aspect. In the three pia. cipal disorders that are usually prevalent, it appears that, by the Returns made, there died—of fever, 52 ; of measles, 45 ; and of casual smallpox, 96 ; to which eight are to be added who died at the Small-poi -Hos pita, out of 96 patients admitted, of whom 53 were discharged well, and 31 still remain on cure. Vacci nation has been resorted to by 576 out-patients, uhich, added to 1930 since the commencement of the present year, amounts to 2556 in the first rix months, which we menti-2n, as it shews an increase of 1180 .beyond the number at this period of the last year. It is remarkable that, dating the month of June, deaths by fever in crea.ed from four to 21., in the last week measles from 11 to 17, and small-pox from 21 to 26, which had been, during the four weeks of the month, '26, 23, 21, and 26.
