Letter % have been received in Edinburgh, from the 77th Regi ment in Jamaica, dated June 16, which furnish the gratifying intel ligence that it had not lost amen from the time of embarkation till the date of the letters ; one child only having died on the passage. Saturday, the Slot ult. the Berwickshire Yeomanry Cavalry, un der the command of LAeutenant-Colonel Illananatc, having com pleted the usual term of training at Donee, were reviewed by Major &twin, who expressed his approbation of the corps, and of the style in which they acquitted themselves in the Geld. After the review there were races, which, we understand, did not afford great sport. The Lord Lieutenant of the County, and a number of County Gen tlemen, attended the review, and in the evening a large and respect able party dined in the Town House. Monday se might, the troop belonging to the Fifeshire Yeo manry Cavalry, commanded by Davis Gittnen, Esq. of Ifirkton, met their worthy Captain *at Mountquhanie House, and partook of a sumptuous dinner, prepared for the occasion. The Earl of Lwow, and Mas.vitut, and several of Mr. Gli LUM'. friends, were present, and it is unnecessary to say, that the day was spent in the most Coe dial and happy manner. G A MING-HO USES.

At some, play was continued with little interruption. from one at Mikan to 12 o'clock at night, and at ethers all hours throughout the night. They are now reduced to about a dozen in number. The games played at meet other of them are raged weir, roisfetteont-sleue claque, and 3 it allot • which a bank Is put down agreeably to the means of . the parties to be played. spinet, the - limitation of stakes varying according to ice Went. Thus some play Is. to £5, Ohm 2s. 6d. to £lO, and ss. to /11%11, and /100, the bank amoontbag ge nerally to 20 times the mks. The banks have certaiq ,uints in their favour, Wee each of which the Wakes of the players in effect haw half: thus each player leases a whole stake on two of those points. Let the stake.beols..Sie tepees 4100, it is all the same. At tongs d. noir (played with cards),. these points come up upon en average two in 68 rants, dealt In one hour, le per cent. per stake, e r 100 per cent. per stake per hour phut the player. At rade* (played with a small ivory bank a cylinder), two in 38 events turned in half an hour three per met . pet stake, or 100 per cent. per stake per half hour against the player. At un-elear•cinque (played with a large ivory ball, with 48 spots, 24 black, 16 red, and 8 blue), six in 4n events rolled inane hour, six per cent. per stake, or 100 per cent. per stake per hour against the player. At Notch kets:and (played with two dice and boa). four in 56 events thrown in one hour, five per teat. per stake, or 100 per cent. per stake per hunt against the player. The money risked at these" Hells" up to three years ago, was much greater than it is now. However, take an average of time and sults, and we shall not be far off a right judgment upon the sub ject. Suppose the hours of effective play at all the " Hells' to hate been five hours per day all the year round (Sundays excepted), from the year 1844 to 1824, ten years, and that the whole of the stakes upon each event at each " Hell" in the aggregate amounted to no name than £500; then /300 per hour, .21,500 per day, £9,000 a week. £36,080 per month, .2468,000 per year were worked Into the different banks by such certain points alone. Hail of this may be said to be composed of money won a-head of the bank, which thus falling front day to day back again hue it, is merely nominal ; but the other half is bard money from the pockets of losing players by the risk of which they have no chance of win. ning a penny. The half is £254,000 per year, which in there. s years . amounts to the eat sum of £2,340,000.

He sent her one occasion for meat forth dinner of his family, ipposing that it was not fait weight, he ordered it . weighed. The quantity proved - to be extremely ticient, and he mentioned his determination to " pull 'p" the butcher on the subject. He. however desired servant to make some broth of the meat, but he took ale of the delicacy, as be found that the taste was .caliarly disagreeable. The woman, in reply to his complaint, told him, without being at all confused, that 't was nothing objectionable in the broth, and that had been as usual careful in making it. A person was at dinner, observed that she gave a very slight itity to the child, and that she took still less herself Ittherts asked whether the acrid taste in the broth not soot? but she answered that nothing offensive got into it. In the evening she absconded, taking her all her own clothes, and some of her mistress's. box, however, contained some evidences of guilt it clutlier kind, for in it were found several duplicates, the examination of which, it appeared that she, been in the habit, ever since she entered the house, stealing her master and mistress's clothes and pawn. , them.

A NOVEL SUITOR. No small degree of mirth was excited this morning by the ap pearance of an Arab servant in the Court, bearing in his hand a letter addressed, in Arabic,Eldon, to " Lord John High Chan ' cellar of England." Having been introduced to the officers of the Court, Butt, Esq. his Lordship's Mace-bearer, was requested to speak to him. On looking at the letter, Mr. Butt, like others, could make nothing of it ; but the mystery was soon cleared up, by the messenger saying that it came from Sansid Khun, the Nabob, resident at Calcutta. Several Counsel were standing near, and the question now was, whether the document should be handed to his Lordship or not? It was, however, resolved, that his Lordship horrid be made acquainted with the circumstance, and the messen ger was directed to call at his Lordship's residence for an answer. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, AUGUST 16. Captain Charles Knatchbull, of Wimpole-street, Cavendish-square, of Nantes, in the department of the Loire, France, his Britannic Majesty's Consul there, of Worrall's Hotel, Park-street, Grosvenor-square, for merly Lieutenant in the 14th Regiment of Dragoons, afterwards Captain in the 80th Regiment of Foot, then Captain in the 22d Dragoons in India, and since re duced Captain in the 20th Light Dragoons, came up to claim his discharge. The petitioner was opposed by Mr. COOKE, on behalf of Mr. Thomas Worrell and Messrs. Stonehouse and Co. Mr. HEATH appeared for the defendant, and stated is limine that this Gentleman had been three years and four months in actual custody; he therefore put it to his Learned Friend's consideration, whether in this state of business before the Court, he would enter upon his opposition? He merely mentioned it; at the same time, I he wished not to be understood as asking a favour. Mr. Commissioner Bowes said, that without any sug.l gestion from the Bar, the Court often asked the question —supposing you make out a strong case against the in solvent, do you think that after so long an imprisonment we should remand him for any considerable time ? Mr. Coons said, he was instructed to proceed, and commenced the examination. The insolvent stated, that in 1821, he resided at Wor. rail's Hotel, and contracted a debt of 1931. for which he gave bills of exchange ; on the 23d of March, 1821, he executed an assignment of a salary of 5001. payable under the will of Sir Edward Knatchbull, his father, but denied having conveyed an eighth p art o f 24,0001 : bequeathed under the said will. Mr. COOKE said the insolvent had been indicted for a conspiracy to defraud. Mr. Commissioner HAnats—Yes. he was, and ac. quitted; and suppose, on the merits of the case, I take it for granted that everything was settled between the parties up to the 23d of March, 1821? • Mr. Cooms (to the insolvent)--When you executed this assignment of the legacy, bad you not in fact dis posed of it? Mr. HEATH objected to the question, and the Court appeared to sanction it, at the same time ordering the deed to be read. ' The insolvent afterwards went on to state that he re ceived 1301. a-year as half-pay: denied having any hones in France, or any claim on the Knatchbull estate. Messrs. Howell and Partridge held two bills of exchange in his favour, which were available to his estate. Mr. Coots again conferred with the Court. The Learned Gentleman said he did not wish to take up their time unnecessarily, he would therefore request that Mr. Worran appo;nto4 ossihraft gad that the Court would order a portion of the Insolvent's half-pay fqr the, payment of his debts. The COURT then ordered 251. a-year to be set off from his half-pay, and approved of Mr. Worrall being assignee.--An affidavit was then ordered to be filed, when he will be discharged. George Monroe, who had been examined on several days, came up for judgment. Mr. Commissioner Hmtan, in pronouncing judg ment, said there never had been a case before the Court which bad caused more trouble, owing entirely to the obstinacy of the insolvent. It appeared that the insol vent bad been in partnership with his opposint cre ditor, Mr. Milton, in the wine trade, which partnership was dissolved in the month of April, 1823, after which Mr. Melton entrusted him with wine for sale, part of which the insolvent gave in payment of his own debts, and part he sold, and retained the proceeds.. To justify, this conduct, be at one time stated that the partnership continued, and that the wine being a joint property, he bad a right to dispose of it; and at another time he stated that he was selling for Mr. Melton on commission. The COURT could not admit either statement as a justi fication, and therefore adjudged the insolvent to be re manded for 12 months from the date of his petition. William Puderiford, a milk-man at Portland Town, for assigning his milk-walk, horse, cart, &c. to mem bers of his family to the injury of his &editors, was re manded for six months. !Valiant Buckley, a cloth,worker from Oldham, for having sold his goods by auction when there were only a few persons present, and which were all bought by his son immediately before be rendered to prison, was remanded for siz months.

Elm—Saturday night, about eliven o'clock, the fe male servant of Mrs. Wetherall, cowkeeper, in Swiss yard, Westminster, was awoke by hearing the horses in the stable, adjoining her room, plunging and groaning very loud. She got up and went to the stable-door to see what was the matter, when she saw a light in the loft above the stable; she alarmed the fa mily and neighbours, and as scion as the stable-door was opened, the fire rushed out with dreadful violence; the whole neighbourhood instantly became a scene of great confusion from the extensive stabling, which was built entirely of wood, being in great danger. The en gines quickly arrived, and, by very great exertions.; the fire was confined to the stable where it broke out, which was levelled to the &mound. One horse was found burnt to death, another has since died, and a mare in foal, valued at one hundred guineas, is so dreadfully burnt that it is feared she must be killed. It appeared nothing but a miracle prevented the fire from extending its ra vages to the other stables ; for if it had, besides the great quantities of hay, straw, Ike. upwards of 130 cows would have fallen victims to the devouring element. Monday evening last, the Sovereign eoach upset, when nearly at the bottom of the hill - at Morcombes lake, a short distance horn Bridport. Five of the pas sengers were much hurt, and are now at the Bull Inn. The accident happened in consequence of the wheel escaping from the shoe-drag, and the hores not being adesunte to the weight. GRAN,D REGATTA. Yesterday the second grand Sailing, Match for the present year took place, for a Prize given by hi s M a j es ty' s Coronation Meet.

Holmes Cowes 9 11 Cornet Thomas Hooper Pickle Herring 13 The time appointed for starting was tour o'clock, but it was not till within a few minutes of five that the match commenced. The distance was from Blackfriars Bridge, round a boat moored off this side of Putney Bridge, and back again to the Cumberland Gardens. On the signal being given, the Dotterell cleared out in fine style, and took the lead : owing to the Comet and Spitfire getting athwart each other, those boats and two others were at first entangled, and it was some minutes before they were fairly separated. As soon as the first tack took place, the Dotterel' lost her superiority, and the Royal Eagle shot a-head, followed at some little distance by the Spitfire and Fortitude. The two foreign boats, as they were termed, those from Southampton and Cowes, were not placed, owing to the violence of the winds during the whole of Sunday, which prevented their coming up the river as far as the bridges. The wind during the whole of the time was W.N. W. and consequently, during the first part of the sail, nearly in their teeth, so that much opportunity was not afforded for a full display of naval tactics : by the time that the Royal Eagle had reached Battersea Bridge, the Fortitude had ob tained the second place, and was not far in the wake of het foremost rival; an awkwardness in managing her mast, after passing the bridge, again threw her back, and the Eagle turned the corner full ten boats' lengths a-head of her; the period at which the vessels ac complished this part of the voyage was as follows: the Royal Eagle, 27 minutes past six ; the Fortitude, 98 minutes; the Comet, 51 minutes; the Spitfire, 36 minutes; the Calypso, 38 minute.; the Dotterell, 39 minutes; and the Friendship, 41 mhiutes • the other boats did not perform this part of the task. and there fore lost all claim to the prize. The same awkwardness with their mast again prevented the Fortitude from coining up with the Eagle on their return, and after passing Battersea-bridge, it appeared evident that the Royal Eagle was destined to be the winner. At about half past seven she reached the boat moored off Cumberland Gardens, havingperformed the latter part of her voyage at a very slow rate, owing to the decline of the wind, which, during the race, had sunk from a fresh breeze into almost a calm. In the conrse of the evening, the cup and cover was presented to Captain Stokes, the owner of the Royal Eagle, in the Orchestra of Vauxhall Gardens, amidst the applause of the spectators. The vi sitors were numerous. The Fantoccini, the Juggler, the Concert, and the el cetera, in which we include everything, went Off remark ably well, u did the fire works, and at a late hour there still seemed but small token of breaking up. The illuminations were on a larger scale than usual, and in several parts of the gardens mili tary flags and other trophies were suspended, to mark it as the birth-day of the Duke of York. Thursday last, a sailing-match took place between his Majesty's Revenue cruisers, Tartar, Fox, Lion, Adder, and Rose. They started from Weymouth Roads at a quarter past 12, r. at. The course agreed on was as far Eastward u Lulworth Cove ; front thence to start again together, and return to the anchorage. The following was the order of sailing : Rose, arrived at Lulworth, 9 minutes past 1. Tartar ... ditto ... 14 ditto ditto. Adder ... ditto ... 14e ditto ditty- Lion ... ditto ... 15 ditto ditto. Fox ... ditto ... 16 ditto ditto. The start from Lulworth took place at 2 minutes after one, v.*. the Tartar getting in first by nearly half an hour, followed by the Fox, Lien, Adder, and Rose, which last cutter was unfortu nately obliged to shift her gaff-topsail during the sailing, and cons.- quendy was considerably impeded. The Officers met in the even ing on board the Rose, Captain Johnson, where true hospitality opened the door, and after having taken a cheerful glass and sang a slurry song, the company separated. FORCHILIE EXPULSION OF A DEBTOR PROM THE FLEET Parsou.—A person of the name of Braybrook, late of l 3helbrd In Bedfordshire, was committed to the Fleet Prison at the snit of a creditor resident at Hitchin, in Hens; Brit from motives of humanity towards the de fendant's large family the plaintiff did not declare 'against him, hence the prisoner was left supersedable. Instead of availing himself of this clemency and re turning to his family, who were forced to go to the workhouse, where they have since been a burden to the parish, he obtained from time to time fictitious actions, and remained his own prisoner, preferring a life of idle ness to one of industry. He derived his support from the rent of his room, and the precarious bounty of green-horis prisoners. Last week several spirited colle gians represented the matter to the Warden of the Pri son, and stated the hardship that a volunteer prisoner should, by occupying one of the rooms, deprive more deserving and necessitous persons of their privilege: in consequence of which Mr. Brown applied to the Attor nies in the actions, and procured the necessary dis charges, after which he was expelled by his brother col legians as an . unworthy "fellow ;" and the Governor gave strict orders to the turnkeys never to admit him again. Some time in the month of October, 1823, the Lady of Colonel B—, of South Audley-street, was robbed of a small bureau, in which were deposited jewellery of various descriptions, to a considerable amount, besides a valuable gold watch and appendages. A few days previous to the robbery, the Colonel and his Lady had arrived in England from Florence, where Mrs. B. en gaged a young Italian girl as a ille-de-chatabre, and brought her to this country. The young Florentine, the first to whom suspicion attached, was interrogated, but nothing could be elicited from her, except an un qualified negative, to the alleged charge; she was then given into the custody of an officer, and underwent two examinations before a Police Magistrate, but was dis charged ; soon after she quitted this country for her native place. Colonel B. caused rewards to be offered, and a description of the articles was left with the prin cipal pawnbrokers and jewellers, but all without effect. A few days since, however, as the family were seated at dinner, a respectably dressed man knocked at the door, and informed the servant that he wished to see the Colonel on an affair of some importance. The stranger being shewn into the parlour, " Was not your house robbed of jewellery during the last year ?" " Yes," said the Colonel, " what of that ?" " Because," rejoined the stranger, " I am come to restore the pro perty, with the exception of one ring (a diamond), which the Florentine girl pledged for £2, and of which the ciplikate‘has been either lost or destroyed ; every thing else you will find in this case (producing a small rose-wood box). This information has been imparted to me by the uncle of the girl, who is a member of a religious order in Naples, who no doubt became pos- sessed of the secret by means of confession." The Co lonel begged the name of the Ecclesiastic and his ad dress, that he might duly express his acknowledgments ; but on this point the agent was impenetrable, merely replying, that his Reverend Friend did not seek praise for the performance of a solemn duty. Yesterday a grocer, residing in Star -street, Edgeware road, in attempting to shoot a mad dog with a rusty gun, had the misfortune, by its bursting, to lose his hand on the spot. He was immediately conveyed to a sur geon's in tfiq neighbourhood, *here amputation of the. tore-arm was judged necessity. -t - SPORTING IN 11:111.:IGENC R. • • MIT' G-Rt /0 NI, TATTERSA L L' 8, A UO: TM. beim( the first day of York Races, seittely atiyfi u npaid, and of cours e b u t little betting took place.

The set♦to at the Tennis Court yesterday were brilliant. h was for the benefit of Ben Burn, who has not only risen lint hi:ta riff in the Fancy, but who patronises his kindred in the Prise Ring. Jem Burn set-to upon this occasion with Tom Belcher, the best regulator of thick heads the world ever produced. It was shoge ther a specimen of fine science; and Torn•Beicher, now called as oadd one in this instance, proved himself best. John Martin, who has to fight young Burn on the 23d of SLptember, saw the set-to. Notwithstanding the pre-eminence in the set-to against gifted science, the young one was backed at even. The Chelsea cobler exhibited with a very fine fellow from the Bristol nursery, named Bailey. Tom Bekhec is the patron of Bailey, who proved himself an admiripg scholar of his celebrated master. It was give and take in glove-fighting ; claret flew in such style, that they were necessarily obliged to be parted, In consequence of an indication that fighting was not allowed. Moyle, the grinder, made a most gallant set-to with an Irishman ; . they knocked each other - about to their hearts content, and Moyle had the best of it. Harry Harmer, although a blinker, put in some scientific bits upon Bob Burn's nob. Ben Burn and Oliver closed u fine a day's play as the season bas produced.
