Delius, Jam It —Yesterday (the anniversary of the battle of 'Waterloo) a grand Review took place in the Phalli: Park, the toad to which was crowded at an early hour, and the various avenues to the scene of action was thronged with pedestrians. The ;as Hussars was the first in the field, and that splendid Regiment the Scots Greys almost immediately followed. The hand of the latter was magnificently dressed, and excited universal admiration. The Ladles Paget arrived at bait-past twelve in an open carriage, which was drawn up close to the Standard. The line was formed shortly afterwards, and at one o'clock his Excellency left the Vice. regal Lodge, and proceeded to the field, attended by his Aids tie Camp, and a body of the 7th Hussars. His Excellency wore the magnificent dress of that Regiment, and was only distinguishable from any other Officer by a small star. His two younger sons rode with him throughout the day. He appeared to be in fine health and spirits, and was evidently delighted with the scene before him. His feelings must have been truly enviable; and in superintending the commemoration of an event which has added one of the most splendid gems ►o the diadem of England's glory, he could not for get his own noble achievements in that field, the result of which has shed imperishable honour on his name. Every body knows that hollow squares, movements in eschelors, and matters of that description, are the natural consequences of a Grand Review, and herefore, as far as the military were concerned, they did their duty nobly, and in the course of their exhibition of Sechyste sent many a happy groupe scampering across the field. The Officers and soldiers of the different Regiments had laurel in their caps, and a great number wore Waterloo medals. The Regiments left the geld at three o'clock. His Excellency entertained a large party in the evening at the Viceregal Lodge. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Mans ♦aanaa Tins D•T.—Dablla 2—Waterford 2—Usbon Gvenney and Jersey I—Flanders I—France I—Malta I.

The Scylla has brought home about 650,000 dollars, shipped at Vera Cruz and Tampico, on Werth/11a' account, and ISO Snails of cochineal. Lieutenants Moseley and Kew'ley, invalids from the West India squadron, are passengets. The Duke of York packet passed Crooked Island, from Jamaica, on the Bth of May, with Captain Chambers, of the Druid (invalided), and Commander Fezen. lately promoted from the Pincher schooner, on bawd, on their return to England.

The Bustal d had sailed for Tut k's Island, with the Governor of e Bahamas on board.— The Auroro, Victor, Harlequin, and Fairy, and Pickle ,choonrr, were on the Barbados station. The Slaney had arrived at Jamaica from Trinidad, with Sir R. Woodford. The Valorous was zone to New Yot k— she was to return to the West Indies, and then pro ceed by Vera Cruz to England. The Speedwell and Monkey were at Nassau, refitting. The Nim ble and Skipjack were cruising, for the suppression. of the slave trade, on the north coat of Cuba. A survey of the Six Shilling Channel had been executed by Lieutenant Allen, of the Scylla, which renders Cochrane Island anchorage, between Rose Island and New Providence, much more accessible to large ships. IThe Barham laid there six weeks. The Scylla has been three years in the West Indies, during which time she lost by cfeath 45 persons. amongst whom were two Commanderi—Russell and De Crespigne.

His Majesty's steam vessel Meteor arrived yesterday' from Lisbon, which she left on Sunday. The intent gence brought by her, - respecting the progress of the Consitutional force against the usurped authority of Don Miguel, leads to no sanguine hopes of any imme diate success to their cause. They are described to be in a sad state of discipline, are deficient in a skilful and determined Commander, and schism has already reared . . itself among them. Two regiments are said to have had a skirmish, arising from private feud; and two others, which had marched to join the Constitutionalists, had thrown away their allegiance, and returned to the banners of Don Miguel. Such, in fact, is their wavering and unsettled nature, that few in Lisbon consider them firm in the cause they have espoused. The Terror bomb, with the Bishop of Mims, and some Portuguese Noble men, on board, sailed from the Tagus for England on Saturday. The Pyramus and Badger were lying there. The latter was on the point of relieving the Procris, which vessel, with the Cordelia, was cruising off Oporto. The Cordelia had chased a Portuguese vessel, but could not come up with her, which bad molested the trade there; and notice had been given by the Commanders of our men of war, that any Portuguese man of war at tempting to prevent the free ingress and egress of British merchantmen to Oporto, would immediately be fired into and sunk as a pirate. The Meteor brought as pas sengers, Baron de Palenca, Envoy Extraordinary from the Emperor of Russia to the Court of Lisbon; Le Comte Vandruil, the. French Charge d'Affaires, and Lord Fordwich, the eldest son of Earl Cowper. The Meteor spoke the Galatea, Captain Sir C. Sullivan. going into the Tagus, as she was quitting the River. The Russian ship Hanboute, 74 guns. Captain Avenoff, and the Provornoy frigate, Captain Gotovizeff, arrived yesterday, after a passage of 20 days from Malta.

The Wasp had arrived at Malta from England, and re mained with the Revenge, Infernal. Erebus, and Racer cutter. — The Admiral intended to return to Malta in about a week, to shift his flag to the Asia. The• Asia arrived at Malta, from Spithead, on the 20th May, all well. The last letters from Halifax mention the arrival there of the Tyne, 28, Captain Sir Richard Grant, fretst Bermuda, and state that the Acorn sloop of war, and - Contest, gun brig, bad not arrived. It was presumed they had been damaged in a heavy gale of wind, and bad borne up for Jamaica to repair.

To facilitate the fitting oat of men of war that may be ordered for Commission, or to obviate the difficulty of obtaining seamen in eases of emergency, the flag-ships at the several ports are, in future, to enter, as supernumeraries, seamen who am desirous of serving in definitively, as well as such whose object maybe to join a particu : larship. The latter are to be transferred to such respective vessels as occasion may offer. SOUTHAMPTON, jerrts 21. During the past week the town of Southampton has been thrown into a state of great excitation, in conse quence of the following dreadful circumstance :—Mr." White, a master baker, who wild Very much respected by his brother tradesmen in the town, had a family, consi.ting of a wife and five children. In the early part of the week he obtained some intimaiion that his wife was in the habit of receiving the visits of a resident of the town, named Macdonald. Macdonald was a friend of White's, and at first he doubted whether Macdonald could be guilty of violating friendship by seducing his wile: he, however, determined to use an artifice, by which he thought he might be able to ascertain if a criminal intercourse existed between the parties. Ile informed his wife that he was about to spend the even. ing with a convivial party, at a tavern in the town, and he should not return home till a late hour. Instead of going to the tavern, he secreted himself in a place ad joining his parlour, in the partition of which he had bored a hole. In about an hour after he had concealed himself, he heard Macdonald arrive, and in a few mi nutes he was an eye-witness of the guilt of the parties, And of his own dishonour. Armed with a knife, he came from his ►iding place, and rushed upon Macdonald, who attempted to escape, but was not able to do so, and he received.a ,wound in the neck from the hand of White, Which severed the carotid artery, and laid him on the floor a lifeless corpse. White then threw down the knife, and ordered a constable to be sent fur, to whom be surrendered himself, to await tbe result of the verdict of the Coroner's Jury. He was conveyed to prison ; and the Coroner, on. Friday, held an Inquest on the body of Macdonald. Evidence was given that his death was caused by a wound inflicted in his neck with a knife, by White. at a time when hocsught him in the act of adultery with his wife ; and the Jury, under the direction of the Coroner, returned a verdict of Map slaughter against White.

Return to an Order of the Honourable House of Commons, dated June 19, 1828, for Copies of the Minutes of the Lords of the Treasury of 30 March, 1 and 7 September, 1826; January 9, February 9, March 20, and June 26,1827, relating to the appli cation of the Surplus Funds in the hands of the Commissioners for the Arbitration and Liquidation of the Claims of British Sub jects on France. COPY OP THE TRZABURT MINUTE, DATED MARCH 30,1826. The Earl of Liverpool and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer state to the Board that an advance of money. is required to be made to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, to enable them to discharge the bills of tradesmen for the works now carrying on at the King's Palace, in St. James's Park, the cost of which works is charge.' upon the funds of the Office of Woods ; and as the Commissioners of Arbitration, Liquidation, and Award, have now a large sum of money in their hands in Exchequer Bills, which, according to their report of the 11th of January, will not, probably be required for the purposes connected with the object for which those funds were destined, they submit that those Commis sioners should be directed, under the authority of the Act 59 Geo. 111. c. Si, to pay over to the Commis sioners of Woods the sum of 100.0001. in Exchequer A BMs, the same to be applied to the objects abovemen tioned, but to be considered as an advance, subject to be repaid with interest from the date of the bills, by the Commissioners of Wood., if the surplus of the funds for the liquidation of British claims shall ultimately be ap prooriated to any other object. My Lords approve thereof, and direct a warrant to be prepared, authorizing the Commissioners of Arbitration, Liquidation, and Award, out of the Exchequer Bills in their possession , to pay over to the Commissioners of 'Woods and Forests the sum of 100,0001. and which sum of 100,0001. together with interest from the date of the bills to be delivered over, is to be repaid to them by the Commissioners of Woods when the repayment may be required. Acquaint the Commissioners of Woods with the directions given. COPY Of TABASUAT unsure, DATED SEPTIMBUL 1, 1826. My Lords have under their consideration a letter from the Com. mlttee for the Relief of the Distressed Manufacturers, in which they state that they have received Reports from Mr. Bl• Adam and Mr. Hyett, who had been sent down into Lancashire to ascertain the possibility of giving occupation to the unemployed manufac turers. in making and repairing the roads in that country—that there ezist considerable facilities for giving employment to a very large number of persons in the district of Blackburn and elsewhere. The Committee are very anxious to avail themselves of the sug gestions of their agents, and to give immediate employment to the distressed operatives; but from the present diminished state of their funds, they do sot feel justified in making grants to so large an ex tent as seems to be required for the effective execution of the plans laid down by Mr. WAdasn, and they are therefore induced by the urgency of the case, to ask whether his Majesty's Government would feel disposed to give such assistance to the Committee as would enable them to carry into immediate execution the various offers and applications they have received. My Lords see with much satisfaction that the attention of the Committee has been judiciously directed to the mode of relief, by which it appears that the redundant labour of the most distressed districts in Lancashire assay be applied towards the maintenance of a considerable part of their population in works of permanent uti lity, without detriment to the interests of those who continue occupied la the prosecution of subsisting manufactures, and without aggravating the evils which have arisen out of the recent over production. My Lords are therefore of opinion that it will be highly expe dient to give, without delay, every assistance within the power of this Board, for - promoting the ph& akin Committee for the Em ployment of the Distressed Manufacturers, in the improvement of the existing roads, or in the formation of new roads, where any such can'be undertaken without the authority of Parliament. Far this purpose, my Lords conceive that they will be fully war ranted to direct the application, ad interim, of a portion of the sur plus of the money now in the hands of the Commissioners for the Settlement of the Claims of British Subjects on France, under the Act 59 George 111. c. 31. in aid of the funds at the disposal of the Committee. Write to the Chairman of the Committee to acquaint him, for the information of the Committee, that my Lords see with much satisfaction the judicious course adopted by the Committee, and will be ready to afford assistance to a certain extent in the prosecu tion of it from such funds as they can command, in aid of those of the Committee, for the employment of labour in the improvement or formation of public roads; and state that my Lords conceive that it may facilitate the arrangements which it may be expedient to make for this purpose, if the Chairman, or any Gentleman of the Committee deputed for that purl:eye, were to confer with Mr. Herries, one of the Secretaries to this Board. who might report the result to-my Lords, and receive from time to time their Lord ships directions thereupon.

My Lords read their minute on the Ist inst. and in conformity with the opinion therein expressed and communicated in the Com mince for the Relief of the, Distressed Manufacturers, they think it right to appropriate the sum of 50.0001. of the money now in the hands of the Commissioners of Arbitration, Liquidation, and Award for British claims on France, to the very important object of afford ing relief in the distressed districts, by the employment of the un occupied weavers in the improvements of the public roads; and they therefore desire that a warrant may be prepared for directing those Commissioners to sell Exchequer Bills to the amount and to pay the proceeds into the hands of Mr. Sargent, to be by him from time to time issued to the Committee as their Lordships may direct. Let Mr. Sargent pay 10,0001. out of any money in his hands (to be repaid to him oat of the imprest above directed) to Mr: *John Abel Smith, on behalf of the Committee for the Relief of the Dis tressed Manufacturers, or to such person as they may appoint to receive the same. • Acquaint the Committee that, in conformity with their request, my Lords have directed 10.0001.
