Cnarmass, Serr. 9.—This day the following Corps, viz. The Queen!, Royals, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel ROLT ; the Royal Fuiileen, commanded by Colonel Sir Erman') BLATT/MY, K.C.B. and a battalion of Royal Marines, commanded by Lieute nant-Colonel Tansnantas, were brigaded on the Lines, to be re viewed by his Royal Highness the Mike of CLARINCT : the whole commanded by the Adjutant-General, Sir H. Tozatus, who put the brigade through the following evolutions: The Brigade, after receiving his Royal Highness with the Gene ral Salute, having marched past in column of battalions, at quarter distance, and having reached the original alignment, closed to the front of battalions, and formed a line of contiguous columns to the reverse flank on the leading battalion, thus inverting the order of battalions; each battalion then countermarched by ranks, which recovered the inversion, and gave a contiguous line of columns, left in front. The Brigade then took ground to the right flank, by the diagonal march, •m 1 then advanced in echellon of battalion, from the right formed solid squares, re-formed columns, and wheeled by battalions to the left, and formed line of columns on the leading rchellon. Changed front to the rear by the round the centre. of battalions Deployed into line on a central division of the centre battalion, and fired. Advanced in double column of sub-divisions, from the centre of battalions, Light Infantry covered the front at intervals; halted ; Light Infantry recalled; formed line on the centre of battalions, and file-firing commenced from the right of sub-divisions as soon as the centre of sub-divisions were formed. The Brigade charged front to the left flank, by throwing back the whole left ; Light Infantry covering the retiring flank. The right battalion (2d Regiment) charged front by the flank march of threes into open column, and wheeled into line ; the other Battalions broke Into open column right in front. The centre Battalion (the Royal Marines) moved to the alignment in open column, entering where its centre rested. The left Battalion ( Royal Fu sitters) moved al in column, closed to quarter distance on the march, and formed square when ordered; it then moved into the alignment, counter- 1 marched by divisions, and deployed into line on its rear division. The Queen's and Royal Marines,when their fronts were clear, com menced firing by divisions from the right ; advanced in echellon of Battalion from the left, at Battalion distance, and in the march changed front to the right flank upon the right division of each Battalion by the echellon march, formed squares for the two centre sub divisions of each Battalion, and prepared for Cavalry ; formed double column of sub-divisions: the two rear columns then ad vanced, and took up distance for the formation of line on the centre ci each Battalion and fi red as ordered. The Brigade retired in echellonoilsattalion, columns, at quarter , ilictance, by breaking successively into columns right in front, moved to the rear, and closed to quarter distance columns on the march. The Light Infantry covered the retiring flank, and ex-1 tended to cover each succeeding column as it retired. Light In fantry recalled, and squares formed to resist cavalry. The Brigade then took up a distant alignment to the former rear in inverted order, by the deployment on the front divisioa of each Battalion. The Brigade changed front by the countermarch of each Bat talion on its own centre, and thus recovered its inversion, it then' fired from the centre as soon as formed. The Brigade formed a double column of Companies at subdi vision distance, on the two centre Companies of the centre Batta lion; the column advanced ; formed square of Brigade; the square advanced by front face, re-funned column, closed to the front, and deployed into line on the two centre Companies of Royal Marines. The Brigade fired by Battalions from the right and came to the port. Opened ranks, advanced, and general salute; it then threw forward the whole left, and the echellon broke into open columns, left in front, and marched home through the centre of Companies, the centre section having been wheeled outwards. In the Garrison Orders of the Day, the following Memorandum appeared : " The Adjutant-General has received the commands of his Royal highness the Duke of Cur RIINC; to express to the Queen's Royals, the Royal Fusileers, and Royal Marines, his Royal Highness's high approbation of the soldierlike and steady manner in which they exercised in brigade this morning."

Extract of a letter, dated Port Antonio, the 14th July : '—" Last night was one of the most terrifically grand and awful ever witnessed. Such tremendous peals of hunder—such incessant vivid lightning—such gusts of 1 ' I nd !- a m } pelting -rain,. which continued without inter mission till this morning.

LANCASTER, SEPTIMBER s. ___ . . - BREACH OF PROXIES OF DAMMAM This was the case .of Wait v. Aspinall," and at tracted extraordinary attention. Mr. SCARLET? addressed the. Jury, and in an elo quent and feeling speech developed the plaintiff's case. He fully detailed the facts which were afterwards eli cited from the witnesses, and concluded by calling on the Jury to render his client such compensation as da mages could afford for the grievous and :unmanly in juries and insults which the defendant had inflicted on her. Mr. WILLIAMS then proceeded to call and examine Isabella Neil--She is the sister of Matilda Wait, the plaintiff. Her sister's age is 21; there are four brothers and two sisters : the sisters are elder than the plaintiff. Her father has resided in Liverpool for three years. Wit ness has been married herself about three months; her father came from Settle, in Yorkshire; he carries on the trade of a tobacco and snuff-dealer in the retail way in Liverpool ; he resided in Whitechapel.street ; he now resides in Paradise-street ; the shop was not his dwell. lag-house in Whitechapel.street ; the shop was 100 yards from Paradise -street, where they lived. Her sister Ma tilda Wait used to attend in her father's shop; her fa mily were not acquainted with the defendant when they first came to Liverpool. The defendant has a situation in the Custom, there. Witness was at Blackburn in the first instance. She never saw the defendant but once, which was in May, 1823. She received a letter whilst in Blackburn from her sister, requesting her to come to Liverpool and assist her in arranging her wedding clothes : she was to be m arr ied t o the defendant. About. a week afterwards she (witness) saw the defendant, he came and was shown into the parlour ; her sister Ma tilda introduced him to witness as Mr. Bromfield, to whom she said she was shortly going to be married.' He said he had brought a parcel of wedding caps, and a wedding dress; the dhfendant she wed them to her, and she said she thought they were very fine. He said he hoped in a few days that he should• have the plea sure of calling her Mrs. Bromfield ; he left the caps, &c. for her sister. Witness was soon after called into the parlour to witness a scene of the' most distressing nature ; this was after his return from the Custom-house. She found her sistertad fainted ; there -was a Lady there ; she supposed it to be Mrs. Aspinall, the defend ant's wife; the defendant, the plaintiff, Mrs. Aspinall, and the witness, were all in the room. When her sister recovered, Mrs. Aspinall said, " Good Gots! what is this? you ale my husband, what can you be wanting 'here?" Her sister immediately said, " You rascal, what could you mean by deceiving me?" Mrs. Aspinall said, " Am I riot your wile, Tom Aspinall ?" he said, " Yes; but I made a mad wedding of it." Her sister ex claimed, " why your name is not Aspinall, but Brom field from Macertree?" He said, " No it is not my name; I am a !harried man ; my name is Aspinall.' Her sister replied, " how could you come here ?" He rejoined by saying he was infatuated with her; that he loved her to distraction : and that if he had not been Sound out as he had by Mrs. Aspinall, he certainly would have married hen—Addressing himself to Mrs. Aspinall," I can say of Miss Wait, she is still a virtuous and an innocent girl for me; and her honour is untainted." Mrs. Aspinall told her sister that she was exasperated to say several words to her when she found him as she had; but that she w.is sorry for it now, seeing her si tuation, and wished to sh a ke h an d s w i t h her, which she did; but that her husband was a scoundrel ; and said, as she was going out of their hall, she should make fur ther inquiry about what had been represented to her of her and the house to which she had followed Mr. As pinall in. Her sister fretted very much after this had happened, and she could not get her to speak all that night ; and all that she said was, she was 'a lost and broken-hearted girl. She laid down on her bed and I was worse. The day following she continued poorly, but was able to come down into the parlour. She con tinued so for three or four days; the defendant called the day alter; I saw him and said, you are not to be admitted into this house any more. His wife also called two or three days after, and saw her sister. She remembers her sister told her that he had said if any thing should be said of what had happened, it would be the ruin of him with his father, and requested his letters back, and her' sister gave them him back, as she thought she was dying. He had written a letter ; she had heard half of it, he read it in her . presence. It was addressed to her father. She can only recollect a few words. It was to this effect, that he was infatu ated with her sister—he adored her, and that he loved her to distraction. He called the day atter the letter arrived. M. s. Aspinall called afterwards and saw her sister, who was then in bed ; it was between two and three in the afternoon, and the second day after she had fainted. The letter was sent to her father. Mrs. As pinall called again on the fourth day, and said she hoped her sister was so far recovered as to be able to go to her house and take tea. She did go; it was at Mrs. Aspi nall's urgent request. She was still very poorly. Mr. Aspinall has five children. His father called on her sis ter, is company with his eldest son; he said, you are coming to tea with us. The brother afterwards came for her, and said it was at Mrs. Aspinall's particular-re quest he had called, and that her coming would clear her character up, and that Mrs. Aspinall Would make her her companion. Her sister then went and stayed at the defendant's house for three months ; still she grew worse; she was attended by several medical men at her father's house, but did not mend in her health ; she was supposed to be dying; and Was given up by the physicians; she is better now, but still very poorly.— Witness did not go to Mr. Aspinall's ; he said several times to her sister—" Nlatilda, I have brought disgrace. and scandal upon you and your family, which I am very sorry for, and it is my duty as well as my inclina tion to do all for you in my power;" and that he had made a settlement upon her. He said he would provide for her as long as he and she lived. He said that he would allow her 1001. per annum, as she would always want medicine and a physician to attend her. The defendant called frequently to inquire after her sister's health, and said that lie should never foigive himself ir she died. He came frequently and was occasionally permitted to see her. He conversed with witness about her sister ; one time he was admitted up stairs, and uttered the following ejaculation, " Oh, Gorr! what am I to do for this poor girl ? she is dying I " this Was in her bed room; he got her letters afterwards; witness had been on a visit to Manchester; she was married there; she continued there until February last, when she received a letter from the defendant to come to her sister ; she (witness) was ill at the time ; she came instantly, poorly as she was herself; her sister could not speak. Mr. Swum—Yon know his band-writing? •Witners—Yes.—(Letter read, to this effect) t " Alv 14411 ISAIKLIA—Tour poor sister lies dangerously ill, sad her recovery is very doubtful. She has been bled to profusion ; you know her tender complaint. Dr. Ilea :they (Coo forgive him!) does not, appear to understand her complaint. Dr. Trail has been called in, whose attention to her can never be forgotten by me. I pray that you will come immediately; but take care of your own health, and make it your first consideration. " Believe me, my dear liahella, Etc. (Signed) "THOMAS ASPINALL." Mr. Bits:sutras: cross-examined the witness at great length, but elicited nothing, of importance to the case. She denied that her sister had regular allowance from the defendant, or that she had ever, to her knowledge, walked out with hint and that she had sustained a hurt while in Yorkshire. Cecilia Hampson examined by Mr. Cnosarrost—She now keeps the George Inn,. at Liverpool. She knew them (the plaintiff's family) a fortnight, After she came to Liverpool, she was in the constant habit of calling on them. She saw the defendant ; he used to call to see Matilda Wait. She introduced him to her by the name of Thomas Bromfield; this was in the summer of 1821. She saw him in the stieet, and he answered to the name of Bromfield. She never saw him at the plaintiff's house. She saw him twelve months : ago ; he came to her father's house, and said he heard she was dangerously ill. He said to %sinless that Miss Wait was as lovely, as innocent, and as virtuous a young creature as any in the empire. He asked to he admitted to see her. She told him that her mother would not allow him to come into the house, and if she did admit him, that she was sure she would commit violence on his person. She has seen the caps, &c. at Mrs. Gray's ; he brought them, and witness saw the preparations going forward for the wedding. She saw bonnets, &c. l She heard Miss Wait say they were neighbours. Cross-examined by Mr. Banuceam.—This was nine months ago ; it was in her 'father's house. Witness never saw her in the parlour. The defendant came to visit her. She never saw him after the dis covery of his being a married man. She has seen the plaintiff fre quently since. Thomas Neil, cross-examined by Mr. SC ARI ETT —lie is a mercer, and resides at Manchester; Isabella Neil is his wife, and she is the sister of the plaintiff; they were married on the 12th of July last, but he refuses to tell where they were married ; he became acquainted with her at her father's house in the years 1822 and 1823; Nlr. Aspinall himself told him that he courted Miss Wait, that he was infatuated, and unfortunately attached to her; that he had passed as a single man to her, and that but for its being detected by Mrs. Aspinall, he cer tainly world have married her ; that he could not resist the passion he felt ; that he was infatuated, but that she was as innocent as she was lovely. When Dr. Ma cartney was called, he knew her complaint, and had reported it to the defendant, who said he felt great anxiety about her; he pressed for more Doctors; be doubted Mr. Beard, and wished others called in. (A letter Was then put In and read, directed to the witness, to the following effect, dated 44th February, 1824.] "My dear Thomas—l sm afraid your poor sister Matilda is worse. If you wish to see her alive, you and Isabella must come directly. She is supported by the Mations.: alone, Etc. (Signed) " THOMAS ASPINALL" Examination continued.—On the receipt of this let ter he proceeded to the house of her father, and found some Ladies with her; she was very ill; he saw the de fendant, who would have other medical men called in. Mr. Beard was at that time in attendance. Dr. Trail was called in. Defendant told witness that he intended to make an ample provision for her for life, as he knew he was the only cause of her illness. Dr. M'Carthy examined by Mr. WItLIAMS.—He is a physician, residing at Liverpool. He was called in to see the plaintiff in the beginning of the year 1823; he attended her in Whitechapel, at the house of her father; she had nervous head-aches; he treated them as such; she• had a great deal of fever and palpitation of the heart, pains in the head, side, back, and occasionally fainting fits; distress of mind was very likely to bring on such symptoms; he had only noticed these a few days ago; they might be brought on from disappointed love. He saw her in the months of June, July, and August last ; she continued in that ailing state; he saw her in February, but not since. He never thought her to be in the dangerous state described. The following is an abstract of the bond, dated July 9, 1824 : " I T. A. do hereby agree to pay M. W. during the term of the natural life of the said M. W. the sum of £lOO per annum, during so long as she shall live, but to cease on her marriage or death ; and the said M. W. agrees to accept the same, upon this express condi tion that she shall not sell the said annuity, &c.—(P.S. The-origi nal to remain in her hands.)—But if she marries, or attempts to sell the same , _ then this agreement to he null and void."—Wi tness , &c .. Mr. Biroucruax—This was in February, 1822. This bond had not been carried into effect. The Arrosnar-GaNalw. then said, this is our case, my Lord. Mr. BROUGHAM immediately rose, and commenced his address to the Jury :—He had never since he had attended a Court of Justice known of so extraordinary a case. Its circumstances were in fact so singular that he almost doubted their reality. He deeply regretted that the plaintiff had ever brought it to trial, for who could help sympathising with the wife and family of his unfortunate client ; and who could help lamenting at the dreadful tale told by her own sister—that an illicit inteicourse (for so it was, although not criminal) had not been buried in oblivion. Let the Jury look to the facts, and they would behold in the plaintiff a living monument of shame. After a time she knew the de fendant to be a married man, and still countenanced his visits, and received presents from him. She did this too when she knew that an affectionate wife was well nigh driven to distraction by the husband's mad act. The defendant also demanded commiser ation. Had he not made every reparation he could justly make, or was he entirely to ruin his family? The plaintiff had thought to work on the credulity of the defendant's father ; but, happily, she had been disappointed, and now, prompted by revenge, two years after the transaction, she endeavoured to build her for tune on the ruin of his unfortunate client. Under such circumstances it was monstrous to expect heavy damages. The defendant had not been proved to receive a salary of 3001. per annum, much less of 6001. or 7001. per annum, as his Learned Friend had stated in his opening address. He declared to the Jury that his client had instructed him not to wound the feelings of the plaintiff by calling witnesses against her character. But how came it, he would ask, that this virtuous young Lady never questioned his client as to his connexions, and whether he was martied or not? Though he lived in the next street she had made no inquiries. As to the bond, even had it been duly executed by the defendant, a compliance with it must have been his utter ruin.— When he (Mr. Brougham) remembered that his client had contemplated the crime of bigamy, he could not believe he was in his senses ; but, then, mark how the plaintiff had acted when she found he was mar. tied, she actually went and resided in his house for three months ! If the Jary gave heavy damages, they offered a reward for vice in womankind. Why were not her parents called—they could best bear testimony to the facts—but it was easy to see that her father was the conductor of the scheme now in action. The Learned Gentleman concluded by observing, that he should call s • • .14 •+ • . • • .21111 ma ten fin the ord tall fire viii lion 3d, del) fors fur% left the aPP 114 the big the c 01: fro In Me Co Co for dui lu pn fou tun trn 1 Fa I het 41 the nfG ib e sac nef • to hen Oti an ti iii ea Ot • i 0 hl CI h. • ; In fi es, no witnesses—but was satitled to yield his client to this judgment of the best of all tribunals—a British Jury. convinced that they would only give such rational da mages as the . case required. The Learned Junce then proceeded to chirgetheJury. lie said this was an action brought to recover special damages tinder most distressing circumstances. The plaintiff claimed compensation at their hands for the toss of that serenity of mind w hich was perhaps one of the greatest blessings. They (the Jury) should net, how. ever, let their feelings outsrep the bounds of justice; but should award temperate and yet adequate damages. His hordship was then proceeding to go through the evidence, when the Foretlian said they were agree:l. The Jury then consulted for a few minutes, and returned a vi.r.!ict for the piaturitr—Damiges, Seven Hundred and Fifty Ponmls. When the verdict was pronounced a murmur ran thr.n.,;!t th • Court, The Court was extremely crowded ;, a great ntintl), r ~i eleg.sntly dressed females were among. the auditors, and sev,t.4 I..dies of distinction sat on each side of the Judge. CHESTER, SEPTEMBER 8. I?ichard Woods, a man aged about 50, was indicted for an assault upon a child wider six years old, named Sarah Al‘Turk, in September last, with an intent to abuse her person. From the number of these brutal cases that have been tried in this town, a detailed account can no longer be of any interest. The assault was clearly proved, inde pendent of the admission of the prisoner himself, who, when he was apprehended at Bolton, in Lancashire, said, that he must have been either mad or drunk when he committed it. This case was greatly aggravated by the circumstance of the brute having been the cause of this tittle girl now labouring under a disease, which ren dered it necessary that she should be handed over to the care of the parish officers. The Jury immediately found a verdict of Guilty. The Court, in passing sentence, commented in severe terms upon the enormity of this offence, and lamented the frequency of it in this county. It was necessity, therefore, to exercise the strong arm of the law to sup press it ; and, above all, io this manufacturing county, where females were, at a tender age, placed away froal the control of their parents, to work at the factories.— The sentence of the Court was, that the prisoner should be confined for the space of three years in the House of Correction, and kept at hard work during that time. John Hamilton was capitally convicted for a felo nious assault upon Jemima Cooper, spinster, at Mot tram, in the parish of Londonsdale, in this .county, on the 2 Nth of August last. The offence was clearly proved, but the girl's cha. racter not being respectable, and the prisoner bearing a very high character, the Jury particularly recom mended him to mercy.

The great rowing wager between Charles West wood and Castles, the best watermen on the Riier, took place yesterday, amidit a great number of bums; every admirer of aquatic spot ts, considered himself obliged to be present. The Noblemen and Gentlemen who usually make a dash in their eight-oared galleys and cutters were not absent on the occasion. The men having taken their stations at Westminster-bridge, started at a quarter to three, with the tide. Westwood rowed in a tine boat named the Sovereign, and Castles in a light wherry, which had won several prizes. At Lambeth-stairs, Westwood was three, boats' length a-head ; at Vauxhall-bridge the head of Castles' boat touched his stern. At the Red Goose, Westwood still kept the 'ead, and those who had betted on Castles gave up their hope of winning. After a most admirable trial of skill and strength, during which, however, Castles had no chance of success, Westwood darted first through Putney-bridge. and having gained the distance won the prize, said to be 100 sovereigns. The bets said to be made on this wager amounted to 5,0001. — Upon the whole this may be called a good match ; the men per formed the distance in about 41 minutes. Castles, it will be recol lected, was the challenger. Westwood was escorted in precession to the Star and Garter at Putney, where a company of 50 sat down to dinner, while Castles went down the river in a four-oared cutter. The river was covered with ten, eight, and four-oared cotters. MR. GREEN'S 21ST )ERIAL VOYAGE. -As soon as the Races were ended on Thursday, Mr. GREEN ascended from the factory yard, Warwick, unaccompanied, and continued in sight for a long time; and descended safely in a field, in the occupation of Mr. Cnosnv, about a quarter of a mile from Rugby, and went to the Spread Eagle in that town ; and about nine o'clock he set off for Warwick. The results of a scorching sun in travelling, are fre quently subversive of female comfort and attraction, by generating a tanned skin, parched lips, and an unpleasant heat and roughness, and signalizing a prominent feature of an otherwise beautiful coun tenance with unseemly redness. To successfully oppose these inno vations, the Ladies have a powerful friend in the recently discovered cosmetic, ROWLAND'S &fast:gm, which precludes all disorders io disfiguring beauty, rendering the skin delightfully cool and pleasant.—To Gentlemen, ROWLAND'S Kalydur will be found an in fallible specific in allaying the smarting irritability of the face, and will render shaving, heretofore a painful, now a pleasurable opera tion. That the Kalydor elicits these felicitous results, one trial will suffice to prove, and satisfactorily establish its reputation.—Prepared and Sold, wholesale and .retail, by the Proprietor% How Lama and Stri, 20, 'Luton Garden, London; and by every respectable Perfumer and 3ledicine Vender In Town and Country...-prk e 4 s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per bottle, duty included. 64i iii I t ' i ' , tiz I fh I I ; I lei t t 4'o • '4 r ~i I I LI
