THE ARMY. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clo:k, the Duhe of You held a Levee, as Conibander in Chief, at his Office, in the Horse Guards, which was attended by Lord LOTAINI, General Sir Titturr "Avian, Lieutenant-General Sreviersow, Major-Generals Sir W. firprentson, Sir Jong Mortaar, Wurra, Tvawaa, and Pwrzttsoa ; Colonels TOWNSNIND, CLAYTON, Russzu., liavrarritto, and Caarc ; Majors Detainer and Oxman', and about thirty others. The Levee broke up about half-past five o'clock. Saturday, a detachment, consisting of one subaltern, one serjeant, and twenty rank and file, of the Buffs, proceeded from Albany Barracks, for Portsmouth, under orders to march to Deptford, for the purpose of embarking there, to join the Regiment in New South Wales. Friday, the Mid-Lotilan Yeomanry Cavalry were reviewed on Portobello Sands, near Edinburgh. by Major STISTRD, of the Ist Royal Dragoons, Commanding Officer at Piershill, and the Earl of MORTON, Lord Lieutenant of the County, in presence of a number of Military Officers. The Corps made a fine appearance, and both Lord MORTON and Major Smrao expressed their entire satisfaction at the alacrity and precision with which they performed their va rious manOuvres.

THAMES TUNNEL. Yesterday a Meeting was held of the Directors of the Thames Tunnel Company, WILLIAM SMITH, Ebq. M.P. in the Chair. The Outrun.% vr stated the object of the Meeting. This was the first General Meeting holden pursuant to the Act of Parliament incorporating the subscribers. It will be recollected, that on the Bth of February last, a Meeting was held at the same Tavern, to take into con sideration the plan of Mr. Brunel, the justly celebrated engineer and mechinist, for making a communication between Wapping and Rotherhithe, by means of a tunnel under the bed of the river, thirty-four feet in •breadtli, and eighteen and a half feet high. At the Meeting many scientific and intelligent Gentlemen were invent, and such was their approval of the scheme, that a third of the capital necessary for completing the undertaking was subscribed at that Meeting, and the 'remaining sum in a very short period after. Without delay they obtained their Act of Incorporation, under 'the title o. the Thames Tunnel Company, and that Act reoeived the Royal Assent on the 24th of June. To the general traffic between Middlesex and Essex on the one side of the River, and to Kent and Surrey on the ether, this-communication must be of the utmost benefit. :%luch advantage will be derived from it to the exten sive commerce carried on in the docks and warehouses a both sides of our glorious River, while the valuable Lavigation of it will neither be interrupted by an arch bridge of iron, nor by one of suspension. The spot fixed uonn for the Tunnel is 2 1 / 8 miles from London Bridge, and its direction will be from King Edward-street on the North, to Union-place, Swan-lane, on the South, so affording the most unlooked-for advantages to both those populous districts; in the first of which a new market has just been opened. The breadth of the River at. this place is nearly 1,100 feet, and in time of war, the passage of troops and warlike stores must be a matter of great national importance, especially as the power of letting water into it at pleasure will stop the passage without destruction to the work, or indeed doing any material injury to the work itself.- - As to the practicability of the thing, there can be no doubt about it. It has been twice tried—first in 1793, at Gravesend, which failed through the unscientific character of Vie plan. Much the same was the fate of another, which was undertaken in 1809, at Rotherhithe; bit that was brought to within 50 yards of its comple tion, when the water came in, and the work was aban doned. The present plan is calculated either to avoid or to overcome all impediments. By careful boring, the strata in the line of communication have been fully as certained ; after the alluvial soil of the river comes a deep bed of gravel and sand, and below this the clay through which the Tunnel is to be carried. The upper part of the Tunnel will be 46 feet beneath high water mark, and will have 14 feet of solid clay above it. The peculiar feature of Mr. Brunel's plan is; . that in exca vating the passage a powerful framework is pushed for ward, consisting of several compartments, within which the excavators work, and as they remove the earth, they are closely followed by the bricklayers, who fill in the body of the Tunnel, thereby retaining the surrounding ground in its natural state of solidity. The bed of blue clay is so fit m and consistent, that the bricklayers work might have been spared, had it not been determined to guard, as much as possible, from any accident. After the Chairman had made his opening statement, the Report of the Committee of Directors was read to the meeting by the Secretary. R. H. MARTRW, Esq. moved, that the Report be re ceived, adopted, printed, and. circulated for the use of the subscribers. Mr. Marten observed, it was necessary for him to do justice to Mr. Brunel's conduct in some very striking particulars. He had voluntarily proposed that the first payment he should receive from the Com pany should only be made when be had brought the virak within 60 feet of its completion; and that the second payment should only be made when the Com pany began to receive back some of the money laid out In the undertaking. Pleased with the liberality thus displayed by Mr. Brunel, the Committee had, in some degree, attempted to meet it by a corresponding libera lity; and that was, by giving him 1,0001. a-year as soon as a return was made on the capital laid out. Mr. Brunel and his son had declared, that they would not ismer, or in any way aid or support any other Tunnel between Blackwell and London Bridge. Admiral IN4EDWARD COORINOTOM, Bart. M.P. then moved the thanks of the Meeting to W. SMITH, Esq. .M.P.their present Chairman, for his zeal and attention to the Bill for incorporating the Company, in its pas sage through Parliament. Mr. BRAMAH rose to move a small remuneration to those who had, as he might say, the surveillance of this great work. He then moved that 10001. a year should be divided among the Directors, according to the re spective periods of their attendance to their duties. This meant as a mere mark of respect to them, not as any remuneration to them for their trouble in the direction. After a few remarks, the motion was carried. Thanks were then voted to Messrs. Sweet, Stokes, and Carr, the Solicitors, for their care in watching the Act t:trt;ugh Parliament, and the Meeting separated. The free town of Bremen has just effectuated a re. duction in the interest of its public debt, which will in future pay only four per cent. Application has been made for the exercise of the Royal prerogative in the case of Mr. Robinson, whose various trials at the Old Bailey occupied nearly the whole of Saturday and Monday ; and no doubt u en tertained of a favourable result. :••••,r, od• •• COURT OF CHANCERY THIS Dint • TEE LATE DUKE OP QUEENSBERRY'S WILL. Mr. TRESLOVE said he was instructed to pray. his Lordship to direct ?it order to hum for the sale and dis tribution of four bunched and seventy thousand pounds, three. per Cent. Stock, standing in the name of the Ac countant-General. The motion was not opposed, all the parties consenting. The Loao Catiscor.coa.—l do not see how lought to make such an order. Mr. TRULOVE—AII the parties consent, my Lord. The LORD CHANCILLOC—That may be. They may all consent, but what right have they to make me a broker for the market? I do not see how I can make the order. If lam wrong, Mr. Tres love, set me right. Mt. HART.—my Lord, they cannot sell the stock at once. They must wait until the broker can find purchasers for it in different portions. The Loan Culacti.t.oa.—l cannot make the order. My doing so would be attended with very serious consequences in the market. The motion must be dismissed. ACCOUNTANT-GENERAL'S OIFICE. Yesterday the SOLICITOR-GENERAL made the usual motion about this season of the year, that the time for' taking in directions for sales and transfers of Stock in the Accountant-General's Office may expire on the 21st of August; for taking in orders for the payment of cash on the 24th; and that it may be shut up entirely on the 28th of August. His LORDSHIP, in granting the motion, intimated his wi s h that all motions for the payment of money out of' Court might be made as soon as possible. He would now make an order that all motions for injunctions shall be made before the Master of the Rolls ; and as his Ho nour will sit tomorrow in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, and whatever other days (to be then named) which may be thought convenient to his Honour and the Bar, he is to hear all applications which are before the Court of a pressing nature, and which are to be heard by consent, and any other his Honour has jurisdiction to hear. THZ JOHN BULL. Mr. SUGDEN moved for an injunction to restrain pro. ceedings at law. Mr. SHAD WELL immediately rose to say, that he was instructed by his client, Mr. Macauley, after what his Lordship had stated , in this case, not to take any objec tion to the present application—therefore the injunction was granted upon the affidavits being filed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY so. MACAULEY V. THE JOHN BULL. Mr. ScARLETT made application this morning for the trial in the above cause to be p roc eed e d i n , or that the defendants should pay the expenses of witnesses which the plaintiff had brought from various parts, at much pecuniary loss; he wished also that they should bear the costs of the several applications in this matter. The LORD CHIEF Jusricg said, the motion should be made on affidavit. He would sit in the Court to- morrow, and hear the matter argued. In the mean time, notice should be given to the other side, with a copy of the affidavit. STEPNEY V. WHITTAKER AND LAURIE. This action was brought by the plaintiff against the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex for a false return to a writ of Teri facias signed at the suit of Stepney against one Thomas Oaks. The Sheriff returned that Oaks had no goods. It appeared that the plaintiff obtained judgment on a warrant of attorney executed by 0.45 to Stepney. The defence was, that Oaks, who is a carpenter, being indebted in a large sum to a person named Gardiner, and being apprehensive that Gardiner would trouble him for it, was induced, under the idea of protectinglis property, to give the warrant of attorney to Stepney, in order that the latter might seize and sell goods to the amount of 4001. The defence was supported by the evidence of Oaks himself, who described the whole transaction of the warrant of attorney as a trick and contrivance to defeat the claims of Gardiner. To make out a debt due from Oaks to the plaintiff, several notes were read, purport ing to be acknowledgments in the form of 1 0 U, for various :urns, making in all 4001. lent by Stepney, at different times to Oaks. Mr. GURNEY, as Counsel for the Sheriffs, pointed out that some of these notes, though bearing different dates, appeared to have been one sheet of paper. They were written apparently at the same time, with the same ink, and the watermark so fitted, as to lead to a belief that they formed one sheet. The LORD CHIRP Jurrica, in his summing up, also directed the Jury to the suspicious appearance of the notes. One was an I 0 U for 1001. another was for 2001. and his Lordship observed, that the Jury ought to consider whether it was usual for a person following the trade of a carpenter to receive large sqms upon an acknowledgment of that description? The Jury, after a long examination of the papers, pronounced them not genuine, and found a verdict for the defendants. The LORD CUM JUSTICE ordered the papers to be impounded, to answer the ends of justice. PERJURY.-THE KING O. DUNSTAN. This was an indictment against the defendant for perjury, al leged to have been committed by him in his answer to a Bill Bled against him in the High Court of Chancery. The Bill and Answer, which were of considerable length, having been read, Mr. Semmesl., for the defendant, submitted that the allegation upon which perjury was assigned was immaterial. Mr. Arroaurr-Gmmaaa having been heard for the prosecutor, against the objection, His Leaman. was of opinion that the allegation was immaterial, •and the defendant was therefore acquitted. MOWER W. R. MARTIN, ESQ. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is an upholsterer in Oxford-street, to recover from the defendant, who is a Member of Parliament for the County of Galway, the sum of X2OO 14s. Irish, being the amount of a judgment obtained in Ireland by the plaintiff against the defendant in the year 1810. Mr. Henry Eaton, the plaintiff's attorney, produced the admis sion of the defendant that the judgment bad been obtained as it was set out in the declaration. Mr. Webb, a stock-broker swore that the valise of . 0 200 14s. Irish was £lB5 Ss. 3d. English. Vadiet for plaintiff—XlBs 51. 3d. LUFFLUM V. ARMSTRONG. This was an action of trespass, for driving a cart over the infant child of the plaintiff. The plea was " Not Guilty." The plaintiff was a market-gardener, at Fulham, near Hounslow, and the defendant a baker, in the same place. On the ltith of December, about four o'clock in the afternoon, the child, of about eleven years of age, was playing in the road, and was rim over by the cart which the defendant was driving, accompanied by his son. The child was under the care of a surgeon for three weeks, and the charge was X 2 3s. Mr. Curry, addressed the Jury for the defendant, and called Thomas Armstrong, the defendant's son, who swore that his father isms driving at a moderate pace, and that the children were running backwards and forwards in the toad. The Loan Cuter Jurrics told the Jury, that, as in this action they could not take into consideration the suffering of the child, small damages would suffice. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, X 3. TILE KING V• LAWSON AND OTHERS. This was an indictment against Mr. Lawson, the Clerk of the Peace for Middlesex, for a conspiracy. A full Special Jury did not answer, and no one appeared on the part of the prosecution to pray a tales. The AxtonNET-Gem/A, forth* defendants, produced his own' warrani for aides, and a full Jury was swam The Arroanrr-Gxxxaskt. rose and said, " Here are six most re spectable Gentlemen indicted, and no prosecutor appears" The Lean Come Jurrice immediately directed an acquittal. The Jury immediately found . thedefendants Not Guilty. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 20. WARRY V. WARILY. This was a question of accounts, and occupied the attention of the Court the whole day. The defendant pleaded a set-off to the amount of 9,0001. A verdict :was taken by consent for the plaintiff, for 12,0501. CONSISTORy COURT, JULY 20. • HULMS O. RULMIL Dr. LUSMINGTON said, that this was a suit fcir a di vorce, promoted by Mrs. Hulme against her husband, in consequence of cruelty and adultery practised by him. The parties were married in January, 1819, and they cohabited together until the latter end of January, 1820, when they 'Separated, in consequence of the re. peated acts of cruelty exercised by Mr. Hulme towards his wife. The charge of adultery was alleged to have been consummated subsequent to the separation. Dr. JESSE ADAMS, on behalf of Mr. Hulme, submit ted that, according to the evidence produced, there was no satisfactory conclusion to be drawn that the charge of cruelty and adultery had been substantiated. Dr. LLJSHINGTON contended, that both charges were proved; the witnesses all deposed to the general con duct of Mr. Hulme ; that he frequently applied wards her epithets of a very opprobrious description; that at various times he threatened her life; at one time he seized a red-hot poker and swore he would knock her brains out ; and at another time her cries of " Murder r brought the servants into her bed -loom, where Mr. Hulme was seen brandishing a large knife, and swear ing he would murder her. This conduct was repeated at a time when Mrs. Hulme was in a very dangerous state of health, from a recent confinement, and tended much to increase her indisposition; in consequence of such treatment, she had been obliged to exhibit articles of the peace against her husband; and he (Dr. Lush ingfon) thought the charge of cruelty was, therefore, put beyond all question. As to the charge of adultery, it was proved by several witnesses, that while Mr. Hulme was landlord of the Three Compasses public house, in Brick-lane, he cohabited with a woman whom he always called " Ann," and who generally called her self Mrs. Hulme. Dr. Jame ADAMS submitted, that the cruelty was not sufficiently proved: it consisted of mere general threats and menaces, used by a man of an irritable and passionate temper towards his wife, and not of that na- ture to call on the Court for a divorce. Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON said, he was satisfied that the libel was proved in all its parts, both of cruelty Ind adultery. The parties cohabited together only a year, during which time they had one child, and it ap peared that for nearly all that time the husband had exercised his brutal conduct towards his wife. It ap peared he was always quarrelling with her, threatening her life with a red•hot poker at one time, and with a knife at another; frequently swearing with dreadful oaths he would pull her out of bed, and other acts which were certainly acts of cruelty. The charge of adultery was also proved, and therefore the Court decreed for the divorce, as prayed for. SMITH V. SMITH. This was a suit instituted by the wife against her husband, W. H. C. Smyth, Esq. of Sloane -street, seek ing a divorce on account of adultery and cruelty. A suit had been origin Ally instituted by the wife, seeking for a restitution of conjugal rights, and the husband having promised amendment, she returned to his house; but being obliged to leave it, as before stated, she sued for A divorce. The libel contained two charges of adultery and cruelty, describing the former offence as commit ted with a female, named Judith O'Neill, a servant, and the cruelty was stated to have been committed on divers occasions. The principal of those charges was his hav ing kicked his wife in the side when pregnant, and her subsequent miscarriage in consequence; her being or dered from the TOOID, and when refusing to go, the dog was set on her, and she was then pushed out; the ap plications made to her to go to America; and, finally, her forcible conveyance to Kelly House, as an insane person, were detailed as charges against the defendant. Dr. STODART opposed the admission of the libel, con tending that the conduct of the wife did not claim their attention, and that with respect to the last accusation, she should have proceeded, under the Act of Parliament, in another Court. Dr. PHILLIMORB and Dr. LUSHINOTON considered that the charges were most brutal and inhuman, and re quir ed the Court's consideration. Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON said, they could not en tirely reject the complaint of the wife, and, excluding two of the articles respecting her transactions in Ame rica, ordered the rest to be admitted to proof against the husband. An application for alimony was afterwards made, when it was stated that the husband was in possession of 9001. per annum; that his wife had been absent from him since the Bth of March, and that she had not a single shilling. Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON could not make such an order, as the allegation of faculties had not been filed, but he recommended that the matter should be con sidered by Counsel, and he expected that some allow. ance would be made her during the long •acation. • Letters were yesterday received from Maranham, of the 9th ult. by the Caroline, arrived at Liverpool. We regret to find that the opposition to the Constitutional Government of Brazil had produced disturbances, in which some lives were lost and blood spilt.

Cannon had a benefit yesterday, but it was very thinly attended. The sets-to were very indifferent. Cannon set-to with Crawley and the latter did with him just as he chose. It was so much one way that, to use lidendosis phrase, fighting men are the worst of setters-to. Hairy Harmer, with the loss of one ogle, and a blinker with the other, mounted the stage and challenged Cannon for 100 sovereigns. Cannon was on the stage, and said his backer desired that be should not fight again; but if he did enter the ring again, it would be with Josh. Hudson. Jack Randall next had his mount upon the stage, and addressed the audience in nearly the allowing words Now, here's a man who has fought once against a man in no condition, talks about fighting for 5001. I'll put down a hundred sovereigns, and back either Langan or Josh against him far three hundred sovereigns." Cannon nude 'no reply. THE MARKETS. (FROM THZ LONDON PRICY CURRENT, JULY 20.)
