THE AR.311% 'Yesterday Morning the 2d Battalion of the third Regiment of Guards were inspected in Windsor Oreat Park, by Col. Rooms. Th e t roops marched on to the ground shortly before eleven o'irotk, and went through the various evolutions and changes of podtion bid down in the new instructions Which were executed in a very perfect manner. It being the ann4ersary of the battle of Talavera, the colours were surmounted with wreaths of laurel. Lietitenant. Colonel COCHRANC gave the word Of command. The day being remarkably fine, several of the Nobility and Gentry attended to witness the inspection. After the conclusion of the review, the Pikers entertained a select party with a splendid collation at the Infantry Barracks: the floe Baud of the Itegiment attended, and phyed a great number of beautiful airs. IVATIRTOAD, JcLs 24.—The 15th Hussars, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Tnacevraci embarked at Bristol on Tues day, twelve transports, which sailed same evening, and ten of which arrived yesterday at our quay. The men, horses, and baggage were landed yesterday evening from all these vessels, except two, which were cleared this morning, and also got all landed. The t2th Royal Lancers will embark here immediately for England, in the vessels which have conveyed the 15th. 'fhls morning a' Military Band left town, to remain at Loughcooter Castle the ensuing week. The Marquis of CARMAZTNIVI has arrived at 6crt, and joined his Begiment,the loth Hussars. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The Beggar's Opera was repeated last night, when Miss PA TOY being unable to play Polly from indisposition, the part was very creditably represented by Mrs. T. HILL. The second piece was Killing no Murder, in which a ludicrous accident happened to Is sros, in his duet with Mater. While *hewing off the graces and pi. roucttes of Apollo 2ibtoi, he performed one evolution which brought him, contrary to his intention. in contact with the ground. lie re covered his legs with much agility, and to evince a carelessness of the accident. he went on cutting his rapers with increased vigour, not perceiving that an " enormous breach" had been effected in his tights. • In the midst of the loudest shouts of laughter be was cons pelted to come hack and repeat the duet ; and wls‘a he entered with a ha idkerchief dangling before the gaping aperture, the scene was ludicrous even beyond the reach of his own matchless comic powers. Me performances concluded with the successful little Comedy of Jlnrried find Single. If we may believe a rumour which is in circulation in Paris, a Royal Ordonnance is about to appear, to prorogue till December next the Session of 1824. It is adder, that that of 1825 will open on the 6th of Ja- ' unary following, so that there will be an interval of only a few days between the two Sessions. We have received a Greek paper published at Misso longhi on the 10th of May. It contains the decree of the Provisional Government, ordering the sth of May to be kept as a day of general mourning throughout all Gteece, for the death of Lord BYRON. It appears, how ever, that this ordet did not reach Missolonghi until after the appointed day. NIAUROCORDATO therefore issued a dee' e:! directing the 11th of May to be kept as a day of mourning, with the same ceremonies as had been ordered for the sth. Letters dated the sth of June were received yesterday from Alvarado; et which time that part of Mexico was tranqail, and the latest accounts from the capital favour able. A letter from the city of Mexico, dated May 6, states that a communication from hunatne had been recei:t. . 1 by the Congt ess, in which he ~ offers them his swore: against the Holy Alliance, and declares that as soon :is he shall receive their authority, he will hasten to def-rd his country, well supplied with arms, cloth ing, And ammunition." The Congress had resolved to publi.l) his letter, accompanied by the decree which de clared him a traitor and placed him out of the protec tion of the law, if he should ever thew himself on the Mexican territot y. We learn from Warsaw, that the Vistula, having risen twelve feet above its greatest usual elevation, has over- A 'wed and occasioned great damage. Letters have been received from Batavia, dated the 26th of March. The General Knock brig, which had been captured by the Malay pirates, near Batavia, was burnt at Borneo. Mr. THORNTON, Supercargo, was still at the island of Retty, and the Malays continued to de mand 40,000 dollars as a ransom, but his friends were he , itating as to the prop) iety of giving such an unrea sonable and exorbitant sum ; and by holding out it was expected he would soon be restored to his friends. JOSEPH LANCASTER has arrived at Caraccas, to su perintend the formation of schools upon his own sp. tern. The Provinces which have formed the confedera tion of Central America, contain a population of upwards of 1,500,000 persons; and by the last accounts, the Pro vince of Chiapa, containing 800,000 more, was about to join them.

THE KING'S THEATRE. ZSERS V. BEttlEl.l.l. ,• This was an application for an injunction to restrain the defendant, 'John Baptiste Benelli, from receiving any sums of money on account Of 'Certain boxes situate in the King's Theatre, or Opera House, for the season of 18.23, and the interest of which he the defendant had, by agreement dated the 12th day cjL July, 1823, agreed to purchase. The motion also west on to pray, that the Noblemen and Gentlemen composing the Committee of Management might be also restrained from acting in any manner contrary to the said deed of the 12th of July. The sums said to have been misapplied were as follow :—.E4,509 due to the plaintiff, £2,088 tu the trades men, and various other sums amounting to £1,050. Messrs. Haar, lioaar, KNIDHT, and Soonest, appeared for the parties. For the defendant, the answer put in was, that there had been an actual loss, in 1843, of no less a sum than 90001. and that the de fendant was induced to make the purchase by a misrepresentation. This, however, was denied on the part of Mr. Ebers. It was also urged that as there was an actual lois at the time of 90001. the de. i . e.:dant was giving 10,0001. for a mere contingency. After very considerable discussion relative to the agreement, The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated that it would be proper for Lim to hear what the Noblemen and Gentlemen composing the Committee of Management had to say to this motion. To this it was answered that they had been served, but did not appear. The Loan Citascratma observed, In answer to an observation made by Mr. Sugden, that he hardly knew what to do in the case. If Mr. lienelli thougla his contract was void, he must give it back in the precise terms he received it. Mr. Maur said this could not be done, as the defendant had re scinded several engagements. The Loan CstaNetrxon—At the close of 1823 did you offer to give it them back, before the season of 1824? Mr. &mbar—Yes, my Lord. The Learned Gentleman then in timated that there had been an expenditure this year of upwards of £50,000. The Loan CHANCELLOR said he knew not how to act under the present circumstances but he would make such an order as would do justice to both parties. VICE-CHANCELLOE'S counT„JUIX 28. GLASsiNGTON V. TIIiVAITES. Mr. ROUPELL, for the plaintiff, %Oro holds a share in the Morning Herald newspaper, moved for an injunc tion to restrain the defendant (a shareholder in that con cern) from removing the place of publication to ano ther street, and also to allow the plaintiff access to the premises. This case was argued at great length by the Learned Gentleman. Mr. AGAR and Mr. PARKER opposed the motion, justifying Mr. Glassington's exclusion, on the ground that he had threatened to break the machinery, and that access to the books had never been telused him. The ] removal was said to be rendered necessary by the dila-' pidated state of the present premises. After a long reply from Mr. ROUPELL, his Honour refused the injunction, with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 28. LEEK V. PrirraaPs. This was-an action brought by the plaintiff, who was a holder of certain Spanish Bonds, to recover from the defendant the difference on the average price between the Ist and 15th of May last, in consequence of the non performance of an agreement to transfer fifty Spanish Bonds, from which the plaintiff alleged he should have derived a profit of £SU guineas. There was but one witness in attendance, and he was only able to prove the average price. Other witnesses were called on their subpoenas, but not appearing, the plaintiff was nonsnited. BAXBY V. SAUNDERS. This was an action brought by the assignees of a bankrupt of the name of Saxby, to recover from the de fendant the amount of a certain quantity of hops, pur chased from Saxby after he had been confined in the King's Bench Prison. There appeared to be no diffe rence as to the facts of the case, and as the only dispute was relative to a point of law, it was agreed that a ver-1 diet should be now taken for the plaintiff, subject to tfrre opinion of the Court as to the legal difference.— There were three other actions called en, arising out of the same transaction, and they are to abide the issue of the first. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 28. EAGLE V. PAULDIN. Mr. Serjeant Pass stated, chat this was an action brought by the iudorsee of two bills of exchange to re cover their amount from the drawer, the acceptor not being to be found. The Learned Serjeant called evidence to prove the defendant's hand-writing. There were some accounts between the parties, and a question arose as to whether one of the bills had been satisfied by the return of a quantity of hops to the plaintiff? Mr. Serjeant TADDY was addressing the Jury for the defendant, and contending that there had not been a sufficient proof of the acceptance, when The Loss Curse Jams interrupted him, and said there was quite sulkiest evidence of that fact to go to the Jury. Mr. Serjeant TArov--I beg that I may be allowed to address the Jury without interruption. Really, it is highly inconvenient for an advocate to do his duty if he must be interrupted in this manner. The Loan Cuter Jeartes—l beg, brother 'Faddy, that you wiU net put yourself in such a passion. You were addressing the Jury as if the case was one for a nonsuit, and I only ventured to set you right. Pray, go =- Mr. Serpent Tans—l wish to go on; and to go on without in . The Lose Cause Jams—Well, don't put yourself in such a passion. Mr. Serjeant Ts►on—l am not in a passion; I am only saying that the practice of interrupting Counsel, recently introduced into this Court, is extremely inconvenient and irksome. It prevents them► from doing their duty fully to their clients. Nothing can be more irksome for a Counsel than to contend against the opinion of a Judge prematurely expressed. The Learned Serjeant then proceeded to observe, that it was much more convenient that a Learned Judge should express his opinions at the conclusion of the Advocate's speech. He concluded by arguing at length upon the facts of the case. The Loan Cunt Junto' charged the Jury at great length, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff on both the bills. In the sales of westl, on the 2Sd instant, recently im ported from New South Wales and Vas Dieman's Land, considerably improved prices were obtained, from the great improvement in the qualities. The colonists are now sensible of the importance to them and to the mother country of this valuable article, and the fine breeds of sheep, both from Spain and Saxony, continue to be sent oat in every ship to Sydney and to Hobart town. A portion of the fleeces of the Surveyor. General exceeded in quality any importation from New South Wales, and were sold at higher prices. Colonel GAUCEIAIS, who was recently acquitted by the Court of Assizes at Toulouse, of the charge of bear ing arms against France in the Spanish campaign, is to be conveyed to Poitiers, in order to be tried as one of, the accomplices of the late General Barrow.

Pnrsuant to adjournment a Meeting was held yester day of the Subscribers to Lloyd's Coffee-house, to take into consideration the Report of the Select Committee, appointed to watch and to oppose the progress of the Marine Insurance Bill through both Houses of Parlia ment. B. SHAW, Esq. M.P. in the Chair. The minutes of the previous Committee having been read, on the motion of the Chairman, a gratuity of one hundred pounds wa s vote d to T. W. Smith, the second waiter.— The Chairman then entered into the main business for which the :fleeting was convened. It was impossible that the Committee could attempt to conceal from themselves or the subscribers, that the matter on which they had reported was not such as had answered their wishes, though it had answered every reason. able expectation that could at the time be entertained: Still he was satisfied, that though another Marine In surance Company had been established, the Subscribers to Lloyd's had no need to despair, if they only conti nued to afford the same facilities to Commerce which they had so long given. With those, and the mainte nance elf their hitherto high character, he had no doubt, but that they must ultimately triumph over every ob stacle. Resolutions were then entered into, approving the Report of the Special Committee that a bye-law should be prepared against insuring in partnership. as injurious to the mercantile interest, and to the character of Lloyd's rooms ; and concluding with motions of thanks to those Members of both Houses of Parliament who had opposed the Marine Insurance Bill, or presented or supported Petitibiss against it. BERKSHIRE ASSIZES, JULY 27. John Simmons, aged 10 years, a man of respectable appearance, and Sarah Grace Simmons alias Sarah Styles, his wife, were put to the bar, to plead to indictments, charging them with bigamy. They pleaded Not Gui/ty. The prisoners were both prosecuted by the Clerk to the Magistrates of Newbury. John Simmons was first put upon his trial. Mr. S EP- PiRD, oii the part of the prosecution, stated the case to the Jury. He characterised the offence of which the prisoners stood charged, as one of an extraordinary description. It would appear that they were married in August, 1806, in London, and after a cohabitation of six months, they separated : after living separate from each other for some time, they gave each other a kind of letter of license to marry again, if their inclini- 1 dons led them to do so. In the year 1812, the female prisoner married a man named Brain, at St. Pancras Church, London; and in 1813 the male prisoner mar ried a young woman named Sarah Challis, at Newbury. He (Mr. Shepperd) should put in certificates of the marriages, and call witnesses to identify the parties. William Rogers Pearse, Vestry Clerk of Newbury, produced the certificate of marriageof the prisoner John Simmons, and Sarah Grace Styles, at St. Clement Danes Church, London, in August,lBo6. Sarah Broughton, the sister of the female prison's; stated, that in 1806, Simmons courted her sister • he I. sited her at witness's house, in Princes -street, 1:ondog and they left there to be married ; she saw them after. wards living together as man and wife, at apartmegts which they occupied. Cross-examined by Mr. Cuawooo—Her sister, prior to her mar riage with John Simmons ' was an honest, sober, industrious, vir tuous woman; sirs lived with him six months at Newbury before she left him, and then returned to London; she afterwards became acquainted with a man named Brain, and lived with him six months, and then he turned her off. Mr. Pearse again called—He was present at the Justice-room) at Newbury, when John Si-imons was examined on a charge of bi gamy. The female prisoner produced a certificate of her marriage with him, and he said " it is true, I was married to her, she is my wife, and the certificate is quite correct." lie also said, "I do not attempt to deny that I was married to Sally Challis." Witness pro duced the certificate of the marriage of John Simmons and Sally Challis, at Newbury Church, on the 24th of May, 1815. Cross-examined—The prisoner bore a respectable character from his youth. John Pike sworn—He was present at the marriage of John Sim mons and Sally Challis, at Newbury Church, in 1813 Mr. Pearse re-examined by the Jtmoa—Sally Challis is alive, and is a very respectable young woman.—The Jury found the pri soner Guilty. Mr. Justice PA ILX —I shall not pass sentence till the wifely tried. Sarah Grace Simmons was then put on her trial. William Rogers Pearse produced two certificates, which he said were given to him by the prisoner, on her making application at the Justice-room, at Newbury, against her husband, for refusing to receive her as his wife. The prisoner cannot read. One of the certifi cates was of her marriage with John Simmons, in 1806, at St. Clement Danes Church ; the other was a certifi cate of her marriage with William Brain, at St. Pan cras Church, 1812. Mr. Justice PA R¢.—Then it appears she was married a second time before her husband ; she intermarried with Brain in 1812, and he with Challis in 1819. Mr. Millet, a bookbinder, in Craven-buildings, Lon don, proved the marriage of the prisoner, who passed as a spinster, with William Brain, in 1813; he was present at the marriage, at St. Pancras Church, London. Sarah Broughton was again examined, and, on cross examination, it was elicited that the prisoner had had an illegitimate child before her marriage with Simmons.; Mr. Justice PA alt asked her how she dared to com- I mit perjury, by swearing that the prisoner, before her marriage with Simmons, was an honest and virtuous woman ? and threatened to commit her.—The female prisoner here admitted her guilt, and said that Sim mons deserted her; he sent her to London, with a child to take care of, with only 7s. in her pocket ; she became acquainted with William Brain, who on being informed of her marriage, wrote to Simmons for his consent to marry her, and Simmons sent a letter (she produced it), signed by the Overseer, giving her authority to get married again. The letter was handed to the Judge, but he refused to look at it, and told the prisoner that she must know such a document could not release her from her previous marriage. The Jury found her Guilty. Mr. Justice PARK said it was a very unusual occur rence for a man and his wife to be tried for bigamy.— 'The conduct of the male prisoner, in seducing a respect able young woman, was very base indeed, and the fe male prisoner appeared a very guilty stoman. The do cument put in by the female, which she said had in- Iduced her to marry again, was the most absurd &cu. I lwent be ever saw; it was said to be signed by the Over seer of the Parish ; whether it was or not he did not pre tend to know, but he knew it was •no etcute for the crime the parties had committed.—The prisoners were sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, and to be kept to hard labour. Shelton and Langan last night agreed, at Jack Randall's, the Hole-in-the-Wall. Chancery-lane, to fight any day in October for £BOO a side. Five sovereigns each were deposited, and .C 95 to be wads good to-Morrow night.

THE CUMBERLAND TRADER BURNT. Monday morning the greatest alarm prevailed in Shields bar hour, in consequence of a fire breaking out on board the ship Cum berland, one of the Newcastle traders. She was lying on the south side of the harbour, near to the Mill Dam, and was laden with g neral cargo of mer chandise for London. About three o'clock, inti mation being given that the vessel was on fire, tneasur were im mediately taken to remove her, in order to keep her clear of the other shipping. She was run upon the sand below Milburn-plate, on the north side of the river, and her appearance was terrifically grand. The flames burst forth through the deck mar to the main mast, and spread to the rigging and sails with a fury almost inde scribable. A great number of boats were on the alert, but from fear of the mainmast coming overboard, which took place about five o'clock, they were obliged to keep at a tespectabk distante. A fire engine was at length got to bear upon her, but the vessel was then so completely enveloped in flame, that every exertion to save any part of her valuable cargo was fruitless. The whole of the vessel is destroyed except her two sides and one of her lower masts. The amount of the damage has not yet been ascertained, hot it must be very considerable; one Gentleman alone had .08000 worth of whalebone on board. It is not known how the lire originated; some persons conjecture thatlt may have been caused by two keels of charcoal that were on board, but how far this supposition is pro bable, we are not able to say.—lyre Mercury. PROPERTY IN SHIP TIMBER. Extract of a letter from Messrs. W. and J. Morrie" the agents to Lloyd's at Stornaway, to J. Bennett, Esq. " Someway, iuly 19. " The schooner New Packet, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, stranded at Loebmaddy last winters sailed hence for Boston, on the second current, after reshipping her cargo, and being outfitted here ; she received no damage in her bull, excepting her forefoot started, and some part of her sheathing rubbed off, although aban doned and sold for beboof of the Underwriters. " The schooner Emma, dooper, of Ipswich, from Liverpool for Dundee and Arbroatb, put into Lochroag yesterday, in .difress, having lost ber foremast, etc. in a gale of wind, on the I,llt, cur rent off the Mennen Islands. . 4 There is every season a large quantity of timber drifted ashore, along the west coast of the Hebrides; vithkh is immediately taken possession of for the Deputy Admiral ; as it is so lightly inscribed or marked, that the proper owners cannot be ascertained, it would therefore be necessary, for the interest of all concerned, to adopt sonic simple method of branding each log with the shipper and ship's name, which would not be so readily defaced.
