WINbSOft. JULX.2.S. . • Last evening as the KING was.taking M71 . 1;031 dim e in Windsor Park, one of the Royal carriages in attend ance on his MAJESTY was accidentally overturned, but happily none of the 11 ,, yal party received any injury. except Sir ANDREW BARNARD i the Groom in Waiting, whose ancle was dislocated by the fall. The weather continuing remarkably €ne this day, the town and Park have been thronged with visitors from the neighbourhood and various distant parts, who re sorted to the Terrace, and whose attention was attracted to view the extensive alterations and improvements which have been commenced in the Royal Castle. Two military bands attended on the Terrace, and played lot the amusement of the promenaders. THE PARK AAD THE GARDENS. The cavalcade extended yesterday, at one time, to Cumberland Gate. At five o'clock the route was along the wall to Kensington. In the Gar Jens, at the hour of six, there were many Lishionables of note; in fact the muster was much greater than expected ; and the eience of several Foreign Ministers, and their Ladies, contributed not a little to throw a pleasing vat iety into ►he scene. Nothing new in:costume: the extravagant finery of the Spling fashions wears off apace. VAUXHALL. GARDEAS.

The night after the funeral of Lord Blt no hr, some thieves broke into the Church of Huelna!'

Saturday se'nnight, just as the Marquis of Bute steam-boat had stopped her engine, and was in the act of putting out passengers at Renfrew ferry, near Glasgow, the Sovereign, coming up the river, reached and passed the same point, when such was the swell occasioned by the vessels Meeting from opposite di rections, that the ferry-boat swamped, and upset the whole on board, to the number of nineteen, in the river. Mr. O'CoNNaLL s:ated in the Catholic Association, on Saturday last, that two hundred labourers could be bad in Carlow to work at two-pence a-day, without food! We beg to inform him that labourers could not be employed in the town of Carlow, in the memory of the oldest man now living here, at double the. daily wages that Mr. O'Connell has stated! For the last two months the daily hire of good labourers has been twelve pence in Carlow, and ten pence for the worst ! Such is the =corny of Mr. O'Connell's information!—Carkw Morning Poll.

A few days ago, a young woman, being on her retur n to her residence from New Inn, was waylaid by thirteen miscreants, who dragged her into a field, and had the brutality to witness her ruin effected by one of the gang, who is supposed to have resorted to this nefarious act for the purpose of securing her fortune, which is about `2ool.—lrish Paper.

Monday night the house and shop, occupied by Mr. 'Stein, surgeon, King -street, Manchester, was discovered -tribe on tire; the engines belonging to the different In snrance Offices arrived quickly on the spot, but the :flames raged with such fury as to prevent the premises being saved.

HOPLIFFE. The Loan Cuarcitxxoft, on taking his seat on the bench, ad dressed Mr. Heald relative to this cause, which was an application for an injunction. He observed, that he had very close y examined the evidence laid before him, and the result was that he was bound to refuse the injunction. SCOTT V. ROBINSON. This was an appeal from' the decision of the Vice-Chancellor. Ifs Lordship said. he had given very great attention to this cause, and after amusing himself with reading over the book, then in his band, he was of opinion that the Vice-Chancellor was perfectly right in the view be had taken of it, and he therefore affirmed his Decree. COURT OF XING'S BENCH, JULY 24. BANYARD V. DOW. This was an action of trover by the assignees of Thomas Thurtell, a bankrupt, to recover the value of a horse, alleged to havebeen converted by the defend Ant to his own use. Mr. GURNEY and Mr. STEMS conducted the plain tirscase ; Mr. MA RRYATROd Mr.Comym the defendants. The plaintiff was declared as assignee of the estate and effects of Thomas Thurtell, a person of some no toriety. It was stated that the horse in question had been purchased last summer by the bankrupt, of a per son named John Cooper, arid left by him in the care of the defendant, who is a livery-stable-keeper. Whilst the horse was its the defendant's care, Cooper, the ori ginal owner, claimed it as his property, and took it away. It did not appear that the animal was taken away with the defendant's privity, upon which Mr. Marryat submitted, that as there was no conversion of the property by the defendant, the action cannot be maintained. Mr. GURNEY contended, that if the horse was taken away by Cooper with the privity of the defendant's ser vants, he would be answerable for their act. The CHIEF JUSTICE thought there was no conversion made out to sustain the action of trover. If the de fendant had negligently suffered Cooper to take the horse away, that would be good cause for an action on the case, but not for trover. His Lordship, however, asked if • there was any other defence to the action? Mr. MARRYAT said, he had a complete answer to the action upon another ground, namely, that Thurtell, the bankrupt, had swindled Mr. Cooper out of the horse, and therefore, having no title to it, the real owner had a right to follow and repossess himself of the animal. John Cooper deposed, that the horse in question had been his. He sold it to Thomas Thurtell, the bankrupt, for 55 guineas, and took his acceptance at pare month. The bill was drawn by Probert. Before the bill be came due he saw Thomas and John Thurtell together at the Cock, in the Haymarket. They were sitting in a little parlour. The moment John Thurtell saw witness he burst out laughing, and said, " I thought you had been long enough on the town to know better than to let my brother Thomas do you out of your horse." The banki upt, Thomas, also burst out laughing, and asked witne-s to take wine with him, and told him not to mind what his brother John said, for that the bill would be honourably taken up when due. Witness waited till the bill was due; and when is was due it was dishonoured. Witness afterwards saw the Thurtells, and John said he WAS a fool to let his horse go. Thomas then told him he would pay him, if he would hold the bill over a little while longer. He held it a week longer, hut it WAS not paid. Witness saw both brothers again re peatedly, and Thomas told him candidly that he did not mean to pay him for the horse, and that he might do his best or his worst. Witness thin arrested Thomas, who being admitted to bail, sent for him, and reproached Trim for having put him to so much expense, for that he meant to give him his horse again. He then fetched up a bottle of wine, and said, " let us be friends, not foes ; I mean you to have your horse after all; if you, o and stay your law proceedings, and pay your own expenses, I shall pay mine, and you shall have your horse back, provided you give me a good character to anybody that inquires after me. I must, however, have him a week or ten days to make use of him, and then you shall have him back." Witness then paid all his own law expenses, which amounted to 61. or V. and the pro ceedings in the action were stayed. In a week or ten days afterwards the bankrupt gave him up the horse. Thurtell had told hirer where the animal was, and at the end of the time stipulated, witness went to the defen dant's stables, saddled the horse, and rode away with it. The horse had been most dreadfully used, and cut in the lets. The bankrupt had told witness, half a score times, that he never meant to pay him for the horse, and told him that he was a d—d fool for letting hint go, for Ihe did not mean to pay for that, nor 10U more horses he had had. Witness received his horse back about the Zth of August last. He was enabled to fix the day in consequence of a bill of 15/. delivered to him by Thur tell, in which he charged him for every time he asked him to take a glass of wine with him. This was the de fcridant's case. I tic Loon OTTO? JUSTICE thought it was a complete an-Acct to the action, and diet clot e ditetted Iluitst,it. NAI P AL INTRLLIGI:NCE.

They are comprised in ten Chapters, viz. Classification of Ships; Rank and Command; Appointments, Cere monies, Pay and Allowances, Provisions, Prizes and l'risoners, Courts Martial, Royal Marines, when embarked ; Troops, when embarked. Stites—The ships and vessels of his Majesty's Fleet are divided into six classes or rates.—First Rate, to comprise all three-decked ships—Second Rate, one of his Majesty's yachts, and all two-decked ships of 80 guns and upwards—Third Rate, all his Neje:: y's other yachts, and all ships of 70 guns and less than SO—Fourth Rate, ships of 50 guns and less than 70—Fifth Rate, ships of 34 guns and less than 50—Sixth Rate, ships of 24 guns and less than 7.6. These classes are to he commanded by Captains (a-ho are no longer to be called Post Captains). Sloops and Bomb Vessels are to be com manded by Commanders, by which title they are in future to be addressed, and not as Captains. Gun-brigs, Cutters, Schooners, and other small vessels, are to be commanded by Lieutenants.— Tmop, Fire, Surveying, Hospital, Prison, Victualling, and Store ships, are to be rated as occasion may require, but not to be above a fourth rate. All ships to be rated according to the number of guns they actually carry. Oenceas.—All Supernumerary Officers, ordered to do duty on board ships, to be considered, for the time behig, as if they were actually belonging to the complement of such shit. —To be two ranks of Commodores : the first class to have a Captain of the same ship under him, the second class not : the authority of both classes to cease whilst in presence of a senior Captain.—A Captain of the Fleet to be considered a Commodore of the first class.— Whenever, front necessity, a Commander.in-Chief promotes a Lieutenant to com mand a ship that bears a Captain, he shall give such Officer a com mission, as a Commander, and an order to act as Captain of such ship, daring which he shall be considered as the senior Commander and the junior Captain on that station.—Masters, Secretaries, Phy sicians, Chaplains, Surgeons, and Pursers, to rank with Lieute nants, but subordinate to them.—The following 'Warrant Officers are alone to take military command of the ship (after Lieutenants): —Masters, Second aasters, Mates, Gunners, Boatswains, Car penters.—Masters to rank as junior Captains in the Army.—' If any Flag Officer be killed in battle, his fisg is to be continued flying unto the battle is ended.—Masters and Second Masters are to be considered eligible to the rank of Lieutenant.—Masters to be appointed by warrant front the Commissioners of the Nevi : no Officer td be examined for that rank until he shall have attained the age of 21, and not after the le of 42.—The rank and appointment of Secretaries to Flag Officers to cease with their appointment.— Mutes shall be anointed by * Warrant under the hand of the Cap tain or Comma nd er of the ship or vessel in which they may be borne, but their rank and appointment shall cease when the ship.ia paid off or they discharged.

But the most important part of this new Code of Instructions, is that of which we subjoin an entire copy of the official document. Its object is evidently to encourage persons to enter into the Naval service to qualify as candidates fur the rank of Masters : they are to consist of two classes, and be denominated " Volunteers of the Second Class," and " Masters' Assistants." " Admiralty Office, July 1, 1824. " His Majesty has been pleased, with a view to encourage and improve the class of persons intended to rise to the situation of Masters in the Royal Navy, ro direct that a class of young Gentle. men intended for this line shall be established., under the title of " Volunteers of the Second Class," ranking immediately after Vo. l lunteers of the First Class, with a pay of 1/.125. per menscrx. " As it is intended that these volunteers should be persons of education and attainments in such branches of science as are con nected with navigation, boys brought up at Christ's Hospital, or the Upper School at Greenwich, are to be considered as at once eligible to this class, and Captains and Commanding Officers are authorised to appoint any such boys to this rating. " If, however, any other boys should offer for these situations, of adequate acquirement ; and abilities, the Captain or Commanding Officer will state the name, birth, age, and education of such boy to the Secretary of the Admiralty, for their Lordships sanction to his entry as a Volunteer of the Second Class. His Majesty hasbeen furtherpleased, in the same view, to esta blish a superior Class of Petty Officers, under the name of Masters' Assistants,' to rank immediately after the Midshiptnen, with a monthly pay of 3/.115. " These Officers are to be nominated by the respective Captains (except where the I.ords Commissioners of the Admiralty may give special directions), from the number of volunteers of the second class, who may have served two years as such, or from any other class, if the person have the accessory information and acquirements, and who may have served in the Nary three years ; but in case cf any selection not made front the volunteers of the first or second 'classes or Midshipmen, the special case, with the name, With, age, and q ualification of the party, is to be reported to the Secretary of the Admiralty. " Volunteers of the Second Class, and Masters' Assistants, are to be considered on the footing of young Gentlemen, and to mess with the volunteers of the First Clefts, Midshipmen, Mates, &c. " If arty Masters' Mates. Midshipmen, or Volunteers of the First Class, now serving in the fleet, should be desirous of being rated zs Volunteers of the Second Class, or as Assistant Masters, the Cap tains and Commanding Officers are authorised so to rate them, agreeably to their respective services and qualifications; but young Gentlemen entering into those Classes must observe that (slthough their pay be greater respectively than that of Volunteer, of the Fit st Class, or Midshipmen) their promotion will (except in extraordi nary cases) be con£ned to the line of Masters.

FIRE IS GIIANCLRY-LANE. FURTHER PARTICULARS. In the Seas of Saturday we gave an account 91the fire which took place that morning in Chancery-lane. ft broke dot at the house of Mr. Dunn (not Jones), a dairyman ; bnt how it originated is not known. It was first discovered by the watchman, who observed the smoke issue from the lower part of the house, and raged for some time with unabated fury. Thl. alarm having been given, it was truly distressing to observe the inmate; mak ing their escape, and implor ing assistance. A family named Gough occupied the third door, and experienced the greatest difficulty. The aged mother was •o much terrified, that she was unable to save herself, when one of the sons (Charles), a youth of. about twenty years of age, with great difficulty carried her through the fire at the risk of his life, leaving his younger brother, Francis, and his sister, Sophia, behind, who were so much alarmed that they jumped out of the window.— Francis, who holds a situation with Mr. Hall, the Ilarrieter, h.te both his knees fractured. He was removed yesterday evening to the house of Mr. Hall, whom he was this day to have attended on the Circuit, from Mr. Marsh's, Chancery-lane, where hews.; firat taken: Sophia Gough, his sister, still remain; there, with littie hopes of recovery; she is under seventeen years of age, and is a pupil of Mr. Le Clerc, the ballet-master of the Coburg Theatre. The flames communicating to the adjoining houses, baffle., the utmost efforts, and in a short time the whole front and roofs of Ole three houses fell, and the firemen with some difficulty escaped. The house of Mr. Palmer, the robe. maker, was also burnt en one side, and had not a plentiful supply of stater been obtained, there is no doubt that his house also would have shared the fate of his neigh bours ; as it was, the entire side of wainscoting was burnt off, and exposed to great danger some valuable robes that were in the rooms. The ruins of the three fallen houses remained wrapt in fi ,mes, and prevented the approach of the firemen to the back buildings. At this moment persons were seen running out of Star court, which is at the side of Mr. Palmer's house, endeavouring' to secure their goods in some place of safety. The fire had communicated to a ' house in this court, which was inhabited by eight families; with considerable difficulty it was confined to that house. .The court itself is not more than fifty feet square, surrounded by houses, and the entrance to it extremely narrow and blocked up by the engines; at seven o'clock, however, the flames were so far got under that no apprehension was entertained of its spreading.. Attention was then called to the persons who formerly occupied these houses, and we lament to state that one woman is missing. She was sees coming down the stairs of the house in Star-court, and being so much terrified, she fainted away. In this condition she was observed by several persons, and some of the most active rushed to tie spot, but before they could gain it the stairs fell, fol lowed by an immense quantity of brick work, and the poor woman was burled from view. The loss thus sustained is very 'great. —Mr. Dunn and Mr. Bliley are insured, but their lodgers are not, and are consequectly deprived of everything. The kitchen of Mr. Dunn's house was occupied by a pour wontan who took in wash ing and mangling to support five children. Mr. Newman's house and furniture was insured until about twelve months ago, when he neglected to pay the premium. and by that means forfeited all claims on the Insurance Company. The persons who resided in Star-court bare lost the greater part of their property. A pout man of the name of Higgitt, who lost the sight' f one eye in Egypt, under Sir Ralph Abercrotnby, and is now a ticket porter at the Temple, who lodged in one of the houses, had the utmost difficulty in escaping with his wife, with nothing but their lower garments. Several of the unfortunate sufferers have received clothing, pe:u niary assistance, and letters to medical institutions from respertalle individuals ; anal we have much pleasure hi adding, on further in quiry, that the woman supposed to be lost was carried out in a senseless state, to Mr. Chitty's, and is now quite recovered irons the effects of her fright. , CORN EXCHANGE, AIABK-I. ANT-, JULY 26. The zrrivals of grain in general last week were moderate, and there was another large supply of Flour. The quantities of me t descriptions of Corn flesh up this morning are not consider.. .11 . The weather continues very favourable for ripening the crop', and our Millers purchase scarcely any Wheat, this trade. therefore, re mains extremely dull, at a reduction of 2s. per quarter from the terms of this day se'nnight. Barley sells very slowly, and does m.t quite support last quotations. Brans are very heavy in ti , pteal, and are further reduced is. to 2s. per quarter. Pe-s of both kinds meet a dull sale, although the prices are unaltered. The eontint• d high averages for Oats, which renders it probable that the Ports may open for a general importation of that article, occasions the factors to be eager to sell, and for the same reason our buyers decline pi r chasing ; Oats are therefore extremely dull in sale, even thctlch offered at ls. per quarter less than last -,Nionday.
