THE ARMY. 41se Ist Drage& Guards are to be reviewed by his MAJESTY, On the 111th of June. •. We mentioned on Monday, that the lat Dragoon Guards had marched on Friday morning Ryan Newcastle for Sc. Alban's. It is but just to observe that this Corps has conducted itself with the greatest propriety during its stay in Newcastle. The Officers in particular have been highly respected and generally noticed by the principal inhabitants of Newcastle and neighbourhood, and their departure is much regretted. They are to be replaced in that town, and at Carlisle, by the 3d (or King's Own) Light Dragoons, who I are now on their route from Northampton. Tuesday se'nnight, the remains of Joan Srooan, a serjeant of the Ist Dragoon Guards, who have been sonic time quartered at the Barracks in Newcastle, were interred with military honours at St. Nicholas's Church. The procession, which was formed of the whole Regiment, moved through the principal streets with the greatest solemnity, the band of the Regiment playing the Dead Mora in Said. The Rev. Joint &nen, the Vicar of the town, read the funeral service. Serjeant STOORD, though actively ern. ployed during the whole of the peninsular war, and had been in 17 general engagements, including the decisive victory of Water loo, was only 33 years of age. The fatigue and privation be en dured in Spain and Portugal laid the foundation of a complication bi complaints which terminated in his death. He was highly re spected by his brethren in arms, and has left a wife and child, who followed his corpse to that place ' where the weary are at rest." MILITARY PROMOTIONS. DUBLIN CASTLE, MAY 7, 1825.

A new Historical Play, in five acts, interspersed with Music, entitled William Tell, was produced at this Theatre last The principal characters were thus disposed of : Gesler Sarnem prawn • - William Tell Albert Michael Juirbelli . • Arnei Agnes Emma Mr. Aunts. Mr. 'fisosersos. Mr. KNIGHT. Mr. IshcissaisT. ' • Miss CLARA FISHER. ' • Mr. WALLACH. • Mr. Po:sitar. . Miss Persyr. • Mrs. YARD/. Mrs. Bums. • . • ••, . The rory from which this Diama is taken, is too well known to require repetition. Tbe first and se- , 1 cond Acts form but afeeble.prellide to the main inci dents. • The interest and effect improve as the Play advances. The principal addition to the history is the introduction of an underplot, founded on the loves of Jaghelli and Michael for Annei and Agnes. who are attached to Ges'er's household. This love affair is made use of by the Author, for the purpose of affording to the Patriots the knowledge of a secret entrance to Gesler's Castle, by which they are enabled to prevent the death of felts son, Albert, and to assist in bringing about the denouement by the. rout of Ges lers troops, I'e having himself previously fallen by en arrow from the bow ofWilliont Mr. KNOWLES, the author of the present Piece, has succeeded in produc ing a very pleasing Drama. The situations ate in several instances truly dramatic—the incidents age few, but strikingly , interesting; the language, in many pas sages, is of a high order, although, perhaps, too de clamatory but the characters, with the exception of IP/flume Tell and his child, ate weakly drawn. The lectures on archery and liberty given by Tell to his son, were in the usual excellent style of Mr. MA C. AKA DY, who was throughout highly applauded.— The scene in which the father •and son are confronted, when prisoners of the tyrant, afforded to Miss FISH as an opportunity for display, of which she successfully availed herself; but we lamented that the Spartan edu cation of Tell's boy, was rendered so apparent, by the falsehood which he utters in reply to the tyrant's Lieu tenant, who suspects the relationship of the parties, " No--that is not wry father An evasion would have been easy, and lest;offensive.—Messrs. KNIGHT,GATTI Mrs. Bunn, Miss POVEY, and Mrs. YATES correctly re cited that which was set down for them, and made the most of very indifferent parts. There was not the slightest expression of disapprobation throughout the performance, though if compressed into. three acts, William Tell would be far•more effective. DOVER, MAY 10.—Last night late, arrived at the York Hotel, the Honourable FRamLRICIt Lame, Am bassador from - the Court of St. James's to Madrid.— • his Excellency embarked at eleven o'clock this morning. on board his Majesty's packet, the FURY, which was lying in the Roads, and sailed for Calais, under a salute from the grins at the Heights. Early on the morning of Thursday week, elop ed from AS-I—y P--It, the seat of W. T. D—a—ctt Esq. the . Honourable D—N—s A—a B—No—st, a minor, wits Manta HELENA, second daughter of R —TP—a—sa, Esq. of R—xbro, in the county of Galway. The amiable couple are not yet of age; and it is said that - the nt.ble mother of the honourable bridegroom kneads enforcing him by law ,to continue at schnel until his minority shall have ceased.—Dublin Register. • -The Court of King's Bench has determined that a conveyancer can maintain an action for his fees ; leaving barristers and physicians the only persons exempt from this privilege. Some days ago a new - born infant was found smothered in .a box by its uunatural mother, named Mary Pitman, who was in the set vice of Hamm Hop. Errs, Esq. of -Dulwich. Immediately after the disco- very of the child, information was given at Union Hall, by Clifford, one of the constables of Camberwell, and a warrant for her apprehension was placed in his bands, and he received instructions from the sitting Magistrate, L. B. ALLEN, Esq. to procure for her every attention , which a female in her situation required. She was placed by Clifford in a 'Aging, under the cue of an old woman, Mary Holmes.; to whom she gave a bribe of thirty shillings, and has absconded. Mr. WEE ems, a surgeon, stated, that he SAW the body of the dead infant, which he examined in the pretence of atv other surgeon, anJ there appeared to be considerable marks of violence on the child's !wad, so much so as to have fracture) the skull, and from a very minute exa mination he was of opinion, that the child must her been born alive. The Glee Clbb held their last meeting for the seaso on Saturday las% at the Crown and Mellor Tavern. LAW REPORT. , . . COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY Et-WARTE RENNET, MAYOR OF THE BOROUGH OF FOWET. The arguments of Counsel in this case were concluded on a former day, and the question stood over for the de cision of the Court. Mr. HILA Lil now stated, that he had looked over the case, which had been referred to by Mr. Montague, and found that in specie they did not apply to the pre sent question. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. MONTAGUE also spoke upon the point of la a, and in support of the Peti• twit for superseding the commission. The LORD CHANCELLOR delivered judgment at consi• &table length, and stated his opinion to be that the corn. missicn could not be sustained. The case decided in the House of Lords, in principle, although not perhaps in specie, resembled the present, and upon the ground of variance between the affidavit for striking the ,docket, and tfe affidavits in support of the commission, he thought the prayer of the present Petition could not be alio% ed. His Lordship read the affidavits filed on both sides, and alluded to the circumstance that the peti tioning creditor was also the attorney and legal adviser under the commission. He had more than once had occasion to observe upon this inconvenient practice, and it frspquen:ly happened that the Attorney, as petitioning creditor, had an interest directly adverse to those to whom he was bound to give 'his legal advice. Upon looking at the bill of costs, which was the foundation of the debt, he could not say that it WAS entirely free from those political purposes which had been imputed at the bar, as many of the items were of a very peculiar na. cure. if a Solicitor chose to put himself into this situa tion, and to try experiments, he should be peculiarly -careful that those experiments did not fail. On these grounds, th, refine, he thought he could not support the commission; and as this Court might exercise a discre tion to supersede even commissions which were good at at law, it was not going too far at least to supersede this commission. Among the lunatic petitions presented this morning, were several "ex-parte Fellowes in the matter of Lord Portsmouth," and several 44 in the matter of Sir G. Page Turner." They were applications for payment of money to various individuals - on behalf of the lunatics. In the latter case, the Lord Chincellor refused the applications, because the alleged lunatic might still intend to traverse the inquisition. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY it. THE KING V. JOHN PENNY. This was an indictment against the defendant for an assault upon Lord Vaughan, son of the Earl of Lisburne. The indictment had been preferred at the Caidigan Ses-. sions, and removed by certiorari, at the instance of the prosecutor, into this Court, and the defendant having suffered judgment by default, now appeared to receive . sentence. Affidavits were put in on both. sides, from which we collected the follqping facts :—The defendant was an attorney, residing at Aberystwith, in Wales., ! - .. He had obtained permission of Mr. Jenkins. a Gentle man of landed froperty in Cardiganshire. to sport oil hit estate. On the 12th of August last, availing himself of this indulgence, lie went with his dog and gun upon the land. He there met Lord Vaughan, Capt. Vaughan, and Lord Lisburne's gamekeeper. The litter immedi ately warned him off the estate. It se.med that the title to. the land in question was in dispute, Mr. „Tonkin' claiming it as his property, and Lord Lisburne dr riving the tide under a grant from the Crowll.—. No acts of ownership were stated on either side.— The defendant refused to quit the land, and proceeded in his sport. He shot some grouse ' and as soon as the birds fell, they were picked up by Lord Lisburne's gamekeeper, When his dog pointed at other. birds,' they were shot by Lord Vaughan as soon as they ruse. This conduct produced irritation on the part of the defendant, which was increased by some insulting lan guage alleged to have bemused by Lord Vaughan and his brother; and in the heat of his passion, he struck the Noble Lord with his stick. For this assaulr Lord Vaughan indicted him at the Sessions, at which he attended, with an intention of. pleading guilty, but 'he found that a certiorari had been lodged with the Clerk' of the Peace, whereby the indictment was removed into this Court. Mr.BROUGIUM addressed the Court in aggravation of punishment; and Mr. DENMAN and Sir WILLIAM °wan were heard in mitigation. The COURT, taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, and adverting to the fact that the indictment had been removed into this Court at the in. 3t.nce of the prosecutor, whereby the defendant had been put to the inconvenience and expense of travelling a distance of 270 miles. then justice might have been properly administered at the Sessions, sentenced the defendant to pay a fine to the King of only 51. The defendant immediately paid the fine, and was discharged. THE KING V. CARLTON AND OTHERS. will' be resollected that in Hilary Tom, 1821., is, Rule was obtained, calling upon the defendants, who are the printer, publisher, and proprietors of The British Cross Newspaper, to shew cause why a Criminal Into,. elation should not be filed against them for a libel, which appeared in thit Paper, refitcting on the cha racter of Sir George Chetwynd, Bart. M.P. In the- Easter Term following, Counsel were heard aga nst the Rule; and in the following Term, Mr. Attorney-Gene ral was fully heard; and Mr. Russell heard in part, in support of the Rule. Mr. Rosana. reserved his argument in support of the Rule, and contended, at considerable length, that it was quite clear from the affidavits filed, that Sir George Chetwynd had fully answered all the charges contained in the and therefore the Rule ought to be made absolute. Their Lordships having consulted together for a few minutes, The Loan Curer Junius said, the Court would take time sa consider their judgment. THE KING V. DUXELEY. Mr. BROUGHAM mos ed . for a Rule, calling upon the defendant, who is' the Printer of the Sunday Herald Newspaper, to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him. fur a libel which an ' peared in that Paper, refl•cting upon the character of the Rev. Mr. Cooper and his wife. The Learned Counsel then read . the libel, which was contained in an affidavit alleged to have been sworn by the manager of an estate in the West Indies,. charging Mr. Cooper, who was a Missionary in one of the West India Islands, lam the estate of Mr. GR.orgeHibbei t, N ith cruel , y towards the Negroes, in charging them with having stolen brandy, which he and his wife drank, and with having gotten one negro punished for that offence:—wish hav ing sold to the negiOcs stigar given to him , by the owner for their use—with having neglected their religious.in 'minal intercourse hid been carried on between her and tarpenter on the estate. rn support of his motion, the Learned Counsel reed the affidavits of Mr. and Mrs. Cooper, distinctly negativing the charges in the granted. THE KING V. SHACKELL. Mr. BKOUGHAN had a similar application to Make agaiast thp defendan•, for the same libel, which ap: peared in the John 801 l SundAy Newspaper. Mr. Jastiei BAti.av-4s it worth while to hie two informations for the same libel ? Mr. Baommtst—My Lofd. the comments o■ the libel in each Paper are different, and this Gentleman has been persecuted by the Jam Bull ; and each Paper asseria. that it has means of knowledge which satisfy them of the truth tif the allldavit. An action would have been brought, were it not tot some proceedings in Chancery, which would have the effect of delaying the trial for a very bog period.—Rule granted. THE LITERARY FUND. The anniversary festival of this Society was celei. hrated yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern. Sir JAs. MACKINTOSH, M.P. was to have token the Chair, but was prevented from attending by incrsposition. It was therefore occupied in his stead by C. SAVILLE ONGLE% Esq. M.P. who was supported by Lord Viscount Strangford, Sir Samford R Ales, Dr. Copeland, Dr. Yates, Mr. Shad well, K.C. Mr. Serjrant Rosanquet, and several other Gentlemen of respectability. The company, however, was not so numerous as we have seen it on former occasions, but we have much pleasure in stating that the Treasurer's Report was, notwith standing that circumstance, u iusually favourable. After the cloth was removed, and the customary loyal toasts were . drank, the Chairman proposed—. Prosperity to the Literary Fund," in doing which he apologised for his incompetence, through want of pre paration, to discharge tht duty which the lamented illness of Sir J. Mackintosh had unexpectedly thrown upon him; but he trusted that any deficiency on his part would be supplied by the feelings which the toast he then proposed was so well calculated to excite. The toast having Seen received with great warinth, Mr. Fi , zgeralct, according to his annual custom, as: tended a platform, and recited a poetic address, of his own composition, which was received with applause. His health, and the healths of several other Members of the Society, were then drank, amongst which was that of Lord Strangford, who, in acknowledging the compliment, assured ate company that he had always considered bis services over-rated, and he then felt them overpaid.—The proceedings of the evening were enlivened by the excellent singing of Messrs. Broadhurst, Clarke, Coll yer, Fitzwilliam, Scc. until about ten o'clock, when the Chairman and most of the company retired. Doctor YAMS read the Iteport of the Funds, and the list of donations to the Society ; the permanent pro• sperity of the Institution was stated to amount to 20,0001. Among the numerous benefactors, the.. name of his MAJESTY, and his annual gift of 2001. were re ceived with loud applause. The list abounded with many illustrious names, and several splendid donations. The annual subscription of 101. from,t)lissLoutsA HOPE. for the benefit of female authors, was hailed with uni versal cheering. . It is confidently stated, that Lord Mawrians.has ex pressed a wish to retire from the fatigues of office. The appoint ment of the Hight Hon. the Arsoasar-OsscaAL, asldisuccessor, N considered to be a matter absolutely Axed upon. The SO. untos-Orwroac it is thought, will be appointed to the distin- gobbed °Mice of Attorney-General, and Mr. Serjeant Law aoT, to the Mee of Solicitor-General. Mr. NORMA and. Mr. Dean me are both spoken of as likely to succeed to the office of Serjeant at Law, which will become vacant under the above circumstances. — Addis Boostisig Post. -The Earl of CHATHAM:it daily expected to arrive at Portsmouth from Gibraltar; the Tams*, 42, Captain G. H. Gums, having been directed to touch there on her return from Lisbon. The Noble Earl comes home on leave of absence, having now resided at his Govern ment'for four years, and has given great satisfaction by the able manner in which he has discharged the duties of his office. His Lordship has been peculiarly fortu nate in the presenmand able assistance of the Lieute nant-Governor, Sir GIORGI Dow, who held the com mand for seven years, daring the lifetime of 'his Royal Highness the Duke of Karr, and to whom the country is particularly indebted for the evraordinary improve ments which have taken place in that important fortress since the year Me, as well as the admirable order in which it is at present to be found. Sir G. Dow resumes the Government on the departure of Lord Cwagrw Ma. Letters dated the 2d of April were received yesterday from Pernambuco. An order . had been received from Rh for the recal of General LIMA, and for puttiag into execution the sentences against the individuals con cerned in the late rebellion to the Essnaoa's autho .rity. A verdict of outlawry has been pronounced against the late President CAtavaLHO and the other re fugees; and to the multitude, who were considered to have acted under the orders of their superiors, a free pardon has been granted. General ANTIKRO has been promoted to the command of the troops, in the room of General Lima. and Don Jose CARLOS is under stood to have been nominated to the Presidency. ARRIVAL of St. )HR EMIGRARTS.—:Within the last two months, no fewer than fifty unfortunate persons, who are under sentence of death or banishment, were compelled by the French Police to come to this coun try. They were naked, and starving, and it was mediately resolved to render them the assistance which' had been denied to them by the French Authorities. — The funds for the relief of the unfortunate emigrants, are now approaching to a low ebb. Three hundred and upwards are now weekly receiving support, and there dies not, at present, appear to be any pro bability of an important diminution of the num ber of claimants. ' Yesterday the Committee met to discuss the subject, the LORD MAYOR in the Chair. They expressed their tease of the high advan tages given to the cause by that great engine for the remedy of so many of the ills of life—the Public Press After having agreed on the necessity of sup plying the wants of the new claimants; they came to the following Resolution : The Committee regret to state, that several more cases of extreme distress have come before them, and that they have been com pelled to admit on their 1 sts no less than fifty persons, the.greater part of whom have been under sentence of death or banishment, and have been obliged to take refuge in this country, by the forcible intervention of the Continental Police; and though nearly ninety in dividuals have-been already permanently provided for, yet those new and unanticipated additions cannrit be contemplated by • the CoMmittee v. ithout considerable alarm and anxiety for the vapid diminution of their funds ; they, therefore. must again appeal earnestly and urgently to the benevolence bf the Public."

DEATH OF THE LADY OF PETER BRODIE, ESQ.. Tuesday (veiling, a Coroner's Inquest was held in the Canteen of the Royal Horse Guards Baracks, Regent's Park, before Thomas Stirling, Esq. on Mrs. Brodie whose melancholy_ death. we stated in the STAR Oi Tuesday. Francis Stacey, a man who keeps a stall near the toll-bar in the road leiding to the barracks, stated, be saw the gig, in which were a Lady and a Gentleman; the horse was going at'a rapid pace, and when, as far as the witness could judge, the gig was within about a hundred yards of Mr. Perkins'..factory, formerly the Opthalmlc Hospital, Regent's Park, there was a bud continued report, and the horse took fright, and started off at full speed. The Lady appeared much alarmed, and cried out for assistance; the Gentleman being unable_to stop the.gig, the Lady jumped out, but the horse continued its .course towards thp witness, end several persons assisted in raising the Lady from the. • ground; she was quite senseless; they carried her into the hospital of the•barrackr,.where the witness left her.. Cosenza—Do you know the exact cause of the horse taking fright? Witness—l think the explosion of the stain-gnu in the factory. Assistant-Surgeon Best, of the Royal Horse Guards, examined the deceased when 'brought into the hospital. She was insensible, and, indeed, never recovered' her senses. He took every means that medical skill cout4 suggest for her recovery, but of no avail, as she died soon after she was brought in. Her death was- very likely caused by the bursting of a blood vessel, or a violent concussion. Another Surgeon was of the same opinion. The CORONik said, there was no doubt but the de ceased had• met her death by jumping from the chaise.. The cause of the horse running away was evidently the explosion of a stkalll-gun, or engine of some such description. ' The Jury /bond a verdict of Accidental Death--adding, they bad selected a deputation to wait upon Mr. Perkins, to recommend the discontinuing of such espionionsin future. After the main question of the third reading of the Catholic Bill was tarried, and the Bill read a 'third time, three amendments were proposed ; one, to insert the words " not to sit in either House of PArliament," which was negatived without a division ; the second was . similarly disposed of ; but the .third, which was merey a verbal correction, was adopted. • Two of the race horses and a valuable brood Mare which were purchased in this country by order of the French Government, have died at the stables •of the Duke of A NOWLIN a, of the disease so prevale.t among the horses' in France, and which, id most instances, baffles the skill of the veterinary surgeons.
