Sta—in consequence of the representation which has been made to the Commander in Chief, of the mortality which oc. curred early this year amongst the Sheep, and the consequent scarcity of Mutton his Royal Highness has been pleased to authorise the Comm issary in Chief in making his Contracts for the supply of Meat to the Troops, to engage the Contractor to deliver Mutton in proportion of one-third only to the Beef de livered. The Contract will therefore be made, until further orders, for one-third of Mutton, and two-thirds of Beef, which you will please to notify to the Regiment under your command, and you will be guided by this information in receiving Meat , from the Contractor. It is reasonable to suppose, that this arrangement will enable the Commissary in Chief to make his Contracts on more advan tageous terms, the benefit of wFich, when the price of the Meat does nut exceed sixpence per pound, will, of course, revert to the Soldier.—l have the honour, &c.

At a General Court-Martial held at the Cape of Good Hope, on the 26th of January, 1818, and con tinued by adjournments to the 4th of February fol lowing, Lieutenant FREDERICK LAHRBUSCII, of the Ist Battalion of the 60th Regiment, was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges, viz.— let. For scandalous and infamous conduct, in having obtained goods on credit, at the public vendues, and front several Mer- 1 chants in Cape Town, between the Ist of July and 31st of De cember , 1817, to an amount far beyond any means he had, or was In expectation of having, to defray such purchases. 2d. For swindling and wilfully defrauding divers persons In Cape Town, in having obtained goods on credit, as stated in the first charge, and immediately after disposing of the same below their real value, and applying the proceeds to his own use • such conduct being highly disgraceful to the character of an Officer and a Gentleman, subversive of good order and military disci pline, and in breach of the Articles of War. Upon which charges the Court came to the fol lowing decision : The Court having maturely and deliberately considered the evidence produced against the prisoner, Lieutenant Frederick Lahrbusch, Ist Battalion ooth Regiment, together with what he has brought forward in his defence, arc of opinion, that the said prisoner, Lieutenant Frederick Lahrbusch, of the Ist Battalion 60th Regiment. is Guilty of the first and second charges. The Court do therefore sentence the said prisoner, Lieut. Frederick Lahrbusch, to be Cashiered. The PRINCE REGENT has been pleased to approve the sentence of the Court. The following District General Order was issued by Major-General TINLING WIDDRINGTON, after making his half-yearly inspection of the 37th Regi ment In Upper Canada: " Assistant Adjutant-General's Office, Kingston, 58th April, 1818. " The Major-GAeral Commanding has great pleasure in ox pressing to LieutenantiVolonel Borer and the Officers, Non commissioned Officers, and men of the 37th Regiment, the very great satisfaction he derived this morning at the Inspection of that Corps, from their soldierlike appearance, steadiness, correct movements, and firings; and he does no more than perform an act of justice to Lieutenant-Colonel Borer in particular, for the great seal and marked attention evinced on his part, as nothing but a well-arranged application of the short time the lieutenant Colonel has had, in consequence of a long winter and public fa,- tigue duties, could have brought the Battalion to so froward and so improved a state of discipline, since the Major-Generall's last inspection. The Major-General is also gratified in observing the attention which has been paid by the Officers, and the very great improvement in the men's look, both in point of health and cleanliness • and it is highly creditable to the Corps that no complaint what ever has been made to the Major-General of any irregular conduct in the men since he has been in this command. oßy order, (Signed) "C. Fawns, A. A. G." The Tong continuance of dry weather has been fa vourable to the young broods of partridges. In some of the southern counties the coveys are numerous be yond all former precedent. _ _ Thursday a numerous assemblage of the most re spectable Gentlemen of Canterbury and its vicinity, met at the Fountain Tavern, in that City, to cele brate by a public dinner, Sir EDWARD KNATCIf- Bum: sixth return to Parliament for that County. WILLIAM DEEDES, Esq. was in the Chair, and J. B. WILDMAN, Esq. his Deputy. The dinner, wines, and dessert were excellent, and this well deserved mark of respect for the character and conduct of the worthy Baronet, who was present, could not but be grateful to his feelings. A Grand Entertainment has been given by TA r.m the Actor, at Paris. to Mr. KEAN, of Drury Lane Theatre. The company was exceedingly numerous, consisting of all the distinguished Artists in every line of the Drama, Ladies as well as Gentlemen, at the time in the French capital. Several material alterations are making in the Co. vent Garden Company, preparatory to the re-open ing of the Theatre, in September next. SINCLAIR has given in his resignation, and the names of Miss S. BOOTII and Mrs. EGERTON no longer appear in the Prompter's list. Amongst the new arrangements are those of Miss KELLY and her sister, Mrs. MI s.' DICKONS, Mrs. YATES, from Dublin ; Miss Somen- VILLE, Mr. PYNE, late of Drury-lane; and a Mr.' HUNT, from the country. The whole of the band, I with the exception of Mr. WARE, the leader, and two I others, are discharged. Mrs. Smith, owner of a coach from St. Alban's to London, appeared on Thursday last to a summons, on an information, charged with carrying more out side passengers on that coach than is allowed by Act of Parliament. The case came on to be heard at Edgware, before Colonel NierroxLs, Mr. Poor., Mr. CHEUVAL, and Captain ANDERSON, Magistrates..-. The charge being proved to their satisfaction, she was convicted in the penalty of Os. and costs. Owing to the great number of accidents that occur almost every day from the overloading of stage coaches, the Gentlemen of the Mary-la-bonne Trust, in order to put a stop to such dangerous and dis graceful practices, have served notice on all the men employed at the different turnpike-gates to lay im mediate informations against the owners or drivers of any stage-coaches passing such gates, carrying more outside passengers or luggage than is allowed by Act of Parliament; and, in case of their non-com- pliance with such order, to be immediately dismissed. And they have also ordered painted boards to be put up, expressing4heir determined resolution to prose cute such offenders. LAW.INTELLICENCIL ,COURT OF CHANCERY, 31.71.Y24. STACK, HULL, AND minims, v. TIM MARQUIS OP HASTINGS, EVANS, CARLACIB, AND mimes. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY Stated this W:IS an applica- . tion on the part of the plaintiffs, on behalf of them. selves and the other judgment creditors of the Mar quis of Hastings, praying that the defendants, tvaus and Carlage, the trustees of the Marquis to carry into effect an Act of Parliameat for the sale of cer tain estates which belonged to the Marchioness of Hastings, as Countess of Loudon . , and which she had given up for the payment of the Noble Marquis's bond and judgment debts, might be ordered to pay into Court the sum of £8,430, which they hal re ceived as part of the proceeds of the sale. There was an application made some time back to the Court, when the defendants, the trustees, were or dered to go before the Master and account, and a schedule was jnade out, and' there only appeared a balance of £5OO as being in the hands of the trus tees. The plaintiffs, however, objected to several items of the account, which the defendant Evans had charged as bills of costs due to himself, and many of them after the present bill was filed, in the year 1815, which he was not authorized to do, as it was the intention of the Act of Parliament, and of ' the deed of trust, that only the bond in judgment creditors should be paid out of the proceeds of the estate. Therefore the trustees were bound to pay into Court all sums of money they had received since the filing of the bill, which amounted to :C8,1•30. Mr. HART followed on the same side, and con `aende.! there could not exist a doubt of the Court or 'tiering this money to be paid into Court, and then laid out in the purchase of 3 per cent. Bank Annui ties, At the same time, if this order was made, it must be of course, without any prejudice to any de .mand the trustees might have on account of their trust. The Noble Marquis having contracted debts to a very great amount, for which he had given bonds, had appointed the defendants Carlage and Evans to be his trustees, for the purpose of receiving the pro fits of his estates to liquidate these debts. The trus tees were not, however, the sole trustees of the No ble Marquis, but were the joint agents also of him and his creditors. The trust deed was executed in 1813, but the bond creditors had as yet received only one per cent. of the debt. With this Carlage had nothing to do, but Evans had, as he had received the profits of the estates sold. Mr. Hart then, at great length,. went into a detail of the sums received by Mr. Evans, arid the law costs which had been in curred. He would not say these costs had been wrongly charged, but what he argued was, that ' Evans had no right to retain them in his own hands out of the trust fund ; for as trustee he was bound tom account for all that had come into his hands, and if he had any demands, his duty was to make an ap plication, to go before the Master to have such de mands considered, and an account taken. Being both solicitor and trustee, he ought surely to have felt a desire to have had his accounts inspected by the Master. _ _ Mr. %Yams followed on the same side. Mr. WETHERALL, for the defendants, considered the motion as equally contrary to the rules and prac tice of the Court, as to the principles of common justice. In this case it was necessary to obtain two Acts of Parliament ; the one for effecting an exchange of the estate of the Noble Marquis for that of his Lady, the Countess of Loudon (an estate which she enjoyed as Peeress in her own right), which was to be sold for paying the bond debts ; the other was for the sale of another estate, which had nothing to do with the exchange of estates. His Learned Friend, who opened this case, had not thought proper to go into this statement, nor would he (Mr. Wetherall)do so, except only that it must be evident to all, that there must have been great expense and much costs incurred in carrying these Acts of Parliament and the sales into effect. The #.14,400 was not, he wa% confident, considered an improper sum, considering the duty which the defendant, Evans, had performed. The demand for him to pay this int Court was surely wrong, as thereby she would not have a shil ling left in his bands, and no chance of receiving one penny, unless at their option, it' the question came before the Master. The objection to Evans being a Solicitor was futile, as none but a profes sional Gentleman would have undertaken the task. It should further he recollected, that the answer of Evans put in to the plaintiffs' bill, stated on affida vit, that a much larger sum was due to him than the sum now demanded to be paid into Court. The Lotto ell NCELLOI2.—If no objection he made to the items, had not this, Mr. NN etherall, better stand over for ten days? Mr. WETHERALL could see no objection. The deeds being executed, the Noble Marquis had ap pointed his particular friend, a most eminent lawyer, Mr. W. Adam, and another Gentleman of great re spectability, to be his arbitrators, and to have the power relative to costs. The LORD CIIANCELLOR.-It was a common thing for a man in a professional lige to be appointed trus tee in such a case as this ; and it was very right in the Noble Marquis to appoint arbiti ators. This Court could certainly interpose where a person held the two offices of solicitor and trustee, yet it was smd *must have been difficult to have found persons to take such a trust on them. Mr. EVANS declared he was £IO,OOO out of pocket, and the situation had really been forced on him. The LORD CHANCELLOR•-I don't doubt it ; and I would rather you had it than I had. Give them the account if you can; and let this be heard in ten days. Mr. EvAss.--That, my Lord, is utterly impossi ble, for they did not furnish a service of this notice on me till I had left town. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Then do it in a fortnight, or as soon as you can. DOMESTIC DISPUTE. LADY PACE. TURNER V. SIR GRECORY PAGE TURNER. Mr. HART made application to the Court, on be half of the plaintiff, that the Serjeant at Arms be or dered by the Lord Chancellor to issue his warrant against the defendant, who had been guilty of a Con tempt of Court, for not answering to a bill filed by the plaintiff, pursuant to an order made in the year ISM It appeared that the plaintiff and defendant were so nearly related as mother and son, and the object of their long-pending litigation was to obtain from the possession of the defendant a quantity cif plate t 6 I very loge must, vAlch be 1441 Perffq . korily refused to surrender, and. which he 011* tabled possession of front die eircunistattee df itil being in his father's house upon his death. A bill had been filed by Lady Turner for the ptirpose of having these articles delivered up, and the deiet had put in his answer, That answer was oonsideted to be insufficient, and exceptions were taken IV it. Further answer was accordingly put plaintiff subsequently amended her bil l, and called for another answer, which had not yet been deli• vexed, and it was for this neglect that he made the present motion. When this case was before the Court on a former occasion, further information was desired to be given by the plaintiff. He now held ht his hand two affidavits, the one subscribed by Lady Page Turner herself, and the other by her solicitor, Mr. Watkins. In his affidavit Mr. Watkins stated the principill (Acts of the case, and it appeared that the origin; T' was filed in 1811, and the answer was put in in 18 as, further answer was put In on Easter Term folio • g. Mr. Watkins then stated, that he had applied for the delivery of the articles unceasingly, but the defendant had constantly re , fused to deliver them up. He ha i many times .at , tempted to arrest the defendant, but could not eain admittance into the house. He then proceeded to state, that in consequence of the malady with which the defendant became afflicted in 1814, and in cone sequence of the embarrassed circumstances in which he was involved, the plaintiff desisted for a time to prosecute the suit. In 1815, the defendant having recovered from his illness, and his affairs having been arranged, the plaintiff renewed her application to have the plate delivered up ; and Mr. Watkins ine formed him, that-unless the application was come plied with, the present suit would be commenced; Lady Turner in her affidavit repeated the assertion of her Solicitor, and added that she had never ens tered into any compromise with her son respecting the articles. These affidavits he thought completely accounted for the delay which had taken place in the prosecution ; and the defendant having neglected to put in his answer, the plaintiff had only this re-: source of compelling it by the warrant of the Ser.. ,jeant at Arms being executed against him. He was desired to state, on the part. of Lady Tuner, that if the defendant required time to put in his an swer, she would be ready to allow as much time as the Court in its judgment thought proper to give him. Mr. BELL appeared on behalf of the defendant, . and observed that Mr. Hart had not stated all the facts of the case. He was proceeding to enter into particulars, when The LORD CIIA NCEL LO II asked, what time was rem quircd by the defendant to put in his answer ? Mr. BELL replied that a month would be sufficient. M. Mae consented that that time should he al. lowed ; and the Court ordered, that the execution of the warrant of the Serjeant at Arms should be sus railed for a month ; and if, aftei the expiration of that time, the answer was not filed, that then the wairant should be issued against the defendant. AINSWORTLI 'C. PEAK E. The LORD CILINct.I.Lua said, that be had con. sidered this case since the argument of yesterday', and made up his mind upon the question. He was decidedly of opinion that the defendant ought to be compelled to pay into Court the amount cil the.two bills of exchange which he had had put into hit hands for the payment of certain specific sums. Al. though in some instances a partner might apply to his own use what he received on the paAncrship ae count, yet it was observable thatthe defendant, with respect to these bills of exchange, had taken off the endorsements, P. - id instead of paying the sums for which they were given to him, applied them to his own purposes. As to the sum of 1500/. the value of the goods which had been seized by the defen dant, he had more difficulty in deciding upon that point; but he thought the fairest way of dealing with the matter would be, to-allow the defendant to make a further affidavit as to that.fact, in order.that he might have an. opportunity of assigning further reasons for t,e seizule. Ile was clearly of opiniort that, at least, the amount of the bilk of exchange should be paid into Court. • An investigation into the cause of the late fire in the Dock-yard at Sheerness, is carrying on ; but no circumstances to shew that it was otherwise than accidental are said to have transpired. An Inquisition was taken on Tuesday last, at the Workhouse, Kingston, on the body of Sophia Brill. The deceased was servant to Misses Gray and Willis, milliners at Kingston. About a fortnight ago, be tween one and two o'clock in the morning, these La dies were alarmed by a violent screaming, and be fore they had time even to form a conjecture as to the cause, the deceased burst open their chamber door, rushed into the room, and presented a spectacle which filled them with horror. Every part of htr dress was in flames, and the form of a human being was lost in the mass of fire. Miss Gray threw the unfortunate girl on the bed, and extinguished the blaze with the bed-clothes. It was now discovered that the bed-room of the deceased was in flames. ~The neighbours were called in, and by their prompt as sistance the conflagration was prevented from spread ing to any other part of the house. The unhappy sufferer languished till Saturday last, when she died in undescribable agony. On the night of the catas ti ophe, she went to her chamber at the usual hour of retiring to rest, but, instead (it going to bed, sat up t 3 do some needle-work. She became drowsy, fell asleep, and was at last awoke by the agony inflicted by the flames. Verdict, Accidental Death, occasioned by burning. An Inquisition was taken on Monday at the Nag's Head, Clapham, on the body of John White, the driver of one of the Chichester waggons, who was found dead on the Clapham-road. The deceased fell from his seat while sleeping on the shafts, when the wheels passed over his body, and crushed him to death. Verdict, Accidental Dead'. Yesterday an Inquest was held at* St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body of J. Sullivan, who was killed on Wednesday at the Southwark-bridge, by a plank breaking upon which he stood. His head and breast were injured in a manner too shocking to relate.— Verdict, Accidentally killed. An Inquest was held at St. John's Committee room, Southwark, on the body of C. Watts, a ' barge- Jri man who fell over as he was towing a barge into Pickle Hem airs. Verdict, Accidental death. F 1 1 . , , • 1 , . I ) I 1 '`• . 1 . il ti 1 1 I 1 4 ' . ~ . 1 . 1 OL 1 1 1 . 4 .
