MAnflry there was a splendid militnry spectacle in the Phcenix park, Ihiblin—,two It:minions of Cay..lty, and four of Intuntry, •cirh ry, &c. having been reviewed by Lord Coiuszlimeme. (;?.a KT commanded. At two o'clock the Regiments marched into the Park, and the ground w.u, kept by infantry, stationed along the extensive review ground, at ' , roper distances. The 4th (or Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards, flanked by Artillery, formed on the right; next them the Ist Battalion of the 51 Guards. Tile 79th Highlanders, the 84th, the Rife Brigade, and the 9th Lancers, and Artillery, were paraded in ordinary succession. At a quarter past three o'clock, discharges of artillery announced the arrival of the. Commander of the Forces. Ilk Lordship rode alor,t t!ie magnificent and varied line, escorted by a party of Lance -s. niter passing along the line in front and rear, his Lord sl.ip took up a position in front, where a large Union Flag was erected by 40111 e of the Waggon Train. 'fire troops formed in close columns, and thus advanced over the grouts] until they arrived within a given distance of Lord Comma- NEUF ; then, (wining into op. n columns, they passed, first in slow, Ltt:l alterward, in quick time, before him. When ordered to re r.Jria a before, they vx:cuted some movements in echelon, which produced a charming thereby, w lilt 4iii.tzing expedition, resented tliOr rank and t.tatioti with:the must admirable regularity r.t.d Ziscipline; • A sham baud. then commenced; all the h•trrors of the " ensan guined held •' wt. re harmlessly de.eribed to admiration. Having thrown out ridettes, cannonading commeticod on the right and lett ; the Fiy..tg Artil!ery (they well merited that appellation) galloped, t!ismuunted, printed, loaded, fired, reloaded, remounted, and gal loped again, with a degree of military celerity which spewed the high state of improvement they have attained. A charge of Cavalry was admirably conducted by the assailing t.tql &fending parties; the whole hoe of Infantry at this period :a:vanct-t1 to the charge, and covered the retreat of the retiring nioadrons of Cavalry with a brisk and well sustained discharge of muOtetry ,tt Iv cl, again into columns, they formed into lour solid Fq.t.tt..., the fro.o rank kneeling, the rear firing, and all sur rotundity; 0..-tr Officers, enclosed within those animated cliecaux-de fr:ze, precisely as 4: the . ne•morable battle of Waterloo, which co vered WELLINi:TON wit.) unfading laurels, and overwhelmed the greaten of Pa modern dest.,ots. _ _ In this manner the ill Ares withi.tood repeated charges of Ca valry, and reformed into line by a new ani dexterous mainruvre. Another discharge of musketry along the whole line was followed by a charge of Cavalry, and discharges of Artillery. The battle over, the Comitiander of the Forces advanced, and the whole line presented arms, the various bands playing " Goo save the King." In the advances of Infantry, before alluded to, the general effect was greatly enhanced by the ancient music of Scotland—the pipers of the 7gth Highlanders struck up the pibroch with great animation. A vast number of carriages were on the ground; in many of ::.em were Ladies of rank and fashion. The day was peculiarly favourable to the gay scene; all passed Or without any ncitlent that we could hear Of, and without even t: :7:, ; ;!: horseman li.tving been deplunted. Tilt, HEATRES.

ASSIZE I NTEL LIG EArcE. mommourii, AUGUST 2. 3 . I R. Williams, aged 30, and M ar y Mo rg an, alias card ! " Mary, a woman of very ill-favoured and masculine an pearance, aged 26, stood indicted for the murder of W. Evans. They pleaded Not Guilty. The prisoners were much agitated during the reading of the •indictment ; the female wept excessi vely. Mr. ltussELL said, the prisoners stood charged with deliberately causing the death of the deceased, and the Jury would find that the circriewances attending the death of the individual were greatly aggravated, by the poor man being hurried to another world at a time when he was most unprepared for such a transition. The female prisoner was a girl of the town. On the night of the 26th of April, the deceased, William Evans, who sea; upon intimate terms with the prisoner Williams, had been drinking with him till they were nearly ine btiated.—They had been good friends up to that time, ;red there was no so: tof enmity between them. About eleven that night, NViAiams and the deceased, as they were going along a street in Newport, fell in with a woman, named Nixon, and the prisoner Morgan. The prisoners and Nixon and Evans walked together till they came near a timber what 1, in which was a saw pit. Nixon and the deceased walked together, and the prisoners were at a short distance behind. Nixon and deceased turned into the timber yard, and went into the saw-pit, and in a very few minutes after a large slab of timber, above 300 pounds weight, by the side of the pit, was thrown upon them, and the deceased was killed in an instant: Nixon was seriously injured, and it could only excite surprise that she was not destroyed also: the timber was originally the butt of a tree, and it would be proved that it was impossible it could have fallen into the saw-pit by accident.. _lt would be proved that the prisoners knew that Nixon and deceased were going to the saw-pit, and that at the time the slab was heard to fall, *which was succeeded by the scream of a fe male, a man and woman were observed on the spit, and the man was seen to go from the end •of the saw-pit where the cry proceeded from, and pass round to the other end. He should :rho prove that the female pri soner had been on bad terms with Nixon ; that she had used violent threats against her, because she had given iertn mation against her before the Mayor for keeping a disorderly house. When the screams of Nixon were heard, the female prisoner went to the side of the saw pit, and said, " curse her, why don't she come out?" and when Nixon asked for assistance and for a light, she went away to her lodging, and smoked her pipe as if nothing had occurred. He should strew that a girl named Phillips asked the female prisoner why she did hot assist Nikon, and her reply was, " Do you mean to rake her part? If you do, you shall he served the same." She also said, " it was not intended to kill the man, but only the girl." the prisoner Williams went to the pit and helped Nixon out by raising the slid) of timber, and it was almost impossible that he could have avoided seeing the deceased when he was lifting Nixon out.— Williams, however, appeared not to know that the de ceased was in the pit. Eliza Nixon—l and W. Evans went into a saw-pit ; we left the prisoners talking together near the Red Cow, four or five yards from the pit ; when we got down it was dark, but they must have seen us go down, it was light enough for that. A slab of wood fell upon us ; it struck me on the side of the head, and knocked me down; I did not hear Evans speak after he was struck; I was senseless in the pit, I cannot say how long ; when I came to my senses the timber was still on me, and I was unable•to get out of the pit. I called out for help, and Mary Morgan came and said, " What the devil is the matter ?'b 1 said, " For GOD'S sake, Mary, bring semebody here and get a light, and see what's the mat ter." She made no answer, and brought no light. The prisoner Williams, came to me in a few minutes after that, and raised me from under the timber; he was in the saw-pit when he did that, and he helped me out of the saw-pit. A man, with a white smock frock assisted in pulling me up ; he also assisted me to my lodgings.— At the time Williams was in the saw-pit assisting rae, the man with the smock frock, asked Williams where the man was that had been with me I said I did not know, I believed he had gone away, which was my opi nion at that time. I heard no person near to the side of the pit at the time the slab fell in ; when I got to my lodging, 1 was nothing but blood, which had been drawn by the blow I received on my head.—Cardiff Mary was in the lodgings when I got thee. She took ne notice. When I recovered my senses, I said, " Mary, I'll never forgive you ; it would not have been too much for you to have brought a light to have seen what was the matter."—She made no answer, but laughed at me. She was smoking at the time. I and Mary had lodged in the same house a month ; we were nut on good terms, because I informed against her for keeping a disorderly house, about six weeks before; she never could speak kindly to me, and repeatedly threatened to be up to me.. Eleanor Phillips—l am a single woman; I lived at Thomas's, in Friar's-6,1d, Newport, in April last, with Cardiff Mary and Nixon ; on the night of 26th April, 1 went to my lodgings about eleven ; Mary Morgan, and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas were there; she was sitting by the the smoking; the first words she said to me were, " Are yi.ti alive !" I said, " Did you bear that I was kilt?" She only laughed, and said nothing about E. Nixon. Nixon came in about a quarter of an hour after, she was all bloody, every bit. Oh, LORD, says 1, What's the matter. Nixon said, " Oh, Mary, you have - served me pretty well to-night—l would not serve you so—it was not so much for you to bring a candle to see what was there."—Mary said, " What ! do you think I would go there to be kilt myself ?" I asked Nixon, in the presence of Cardiff Mary, " What was- the matter?" She said that she went with a man into the saw-pit, and somebody had thrown timber upon her. I said to Cardiff Mary, " Where were you?" She replied, 6 ' I was not far from there." " Did you See somebody about the saw.pit ?" says 1. Yes," says the, " I did.' " You know 'em ?" says I. " Yes, I know 'em well," says she. " Tell me who be they," says 1. .4 I won't tell you to-night," says she, " but 'I will tell y ou to-morrow morning." I afterwards went out that evening with Mary Morgan; I asked her, • Why did you not go to the saw-pit on the girl call ing pL Sic replied, " If you are going to take her part yOu shall have the same yourself, for that is nothing to what she s hall have—that is only beginning." 1 saw the prisoner Williams when we came out of the house, and he asked me " How is the gill noss ?'' " You know something about the girl?" says I. . 6 Yes," says he ; " I. went to the saw-pit and helped her from there. " About a fortnight after this, and Mary Morgan were in prison at Newport.- I said, We have brought our selves into a pretty hobble nom* " Yes," says the; " elrough Betsy Roper" (meaning Nixon, who at times went by that name),- I said, " Did 3 1 0bn not tell me !h it you k•iew them that were about the saw-pit ?" replied, " I thought so, and it was nnt their intent to kill the man, but to kill the girl." Cardiff Mary' and Nixon were not friends before this. Cardiff Mary was always against her. I heard Cardiff Mary say, the Sun day before this happened, that she would be upside %snit Nixon. They many times had words and quarrelled. Evidence was gone into as to the finding Evans next morning dead in the pit, with his skull dreadfully frac tured, and the slab of timber upon him. The Jury found Mary Morgan Guilty of Man.slattgb ter, and she was sentenced to fourteen years transpotta tron. Williams was acquitted. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.. BETTING-I:00Ni, TATTERSALL'S, AUG. 26.

BOXING. Tin FIGHT roil. FORTY SOYRRRIONS RETWERS HARRY FORD AND FLOWERS. . Yesterday was a day of sport with the votaries of the turf and the ring. These boxers had already proved themselves amongst the best of the provincials. and the battle was fought of Farnham Downs, to the southward of Ripley, Surrey, at ten o'clock, to enable those who chose t.s be also at Eghani Races. It took place ;a as open ring, and Harris seconded Ford, and J. Smith wiped the claret off the stopping-block of Flowers. Nine rounds were fought, in which no men could shew rum.- bravery. In the first, the fearless exchange of hits was th , :, admi ration of the ring. Ford rather out-fought his advrtsary by a happy let loose at the bead with a strai c tlit left, but be was coun• tered upon being thrown. The claret was dropping freely from the nob of Flowers. 2. Ford missed his left•handed hit, and was floored by a hit in the wind neatly. 3. Flowers rushed in to keep the advanta;e, but Ford broke ground, and placed a stnashing hit upon. the prominent gristle of the 03 frontis, before damaged a bit, and down he went. It was at this time anybody's fight, mid the piper w.,s strung at work. 4 and 5 was like a cessation of lutilities, and there was no mis chief, except that Flowers was kept bleeding, and upon the trot.- 6. As gay a fought round as ever was seen, and repeated hc*vy blows passed in a give and take rally, at the cud of which Ford Was thrown a hard suinntersets _ _ 7. Flowers received It heavy hit under the lug, which groggified him, and he never 'recovered it, although he nt•:de g sr•end. 8. Ford had nearly closed the perper4 of u•s a.lvrr-try, and pow erful medicine in the &tiger line was poured down the tinvat of the Utter, whose head was beiore queered by the be.tvy hit la the last round, aqd i.l this round he was thrown. 9. By way of a closer, Fofd placed a finisher on his oppon••nt'. temple, which hit him out of time. Ford was de.:hred the victor. SPARRING.

Quebec packet, for Qicbec. Tuesday, Mr. Graham made a fine ascent in Lk bal loon, from an elevated field opposite the gas works, in Holloway-lane, Taunton. After sailing steadily in the air for about twenty minutes, the balloon, when::' .hoot a mile in height, was gently impvlled in a south west direction, in which it continued for some time. Mr. • Graham effected his descent saftly, in an oat-field oc- cupied by Mr. R. BronmfielJ, about a Tr arter cf a mile • south-east of the village of Upottery, Devon, distant from Taunton about twelve miles. • We stated in a recent Parer, that a Mrs. Conk, oyster dealer, in 1):i by •street, Cannon-licr.v, took a handsome silver watch, with gold appendages, to Queen-sqnare, w hi c h s h e tinind suspended from her shawl, after a struggle ss ith t!.ree well-dres,cd me t, had rather riidel.l assaulted her. T! is ammuncenient was re td by Au. Wright, a grocer, in oAind-street, •diu app:ied at the Office, and after accurately descrihng the article, Al: s. Cook was sent for, when Air. Wright deposed, that on the day Mrs. Cook discnvcred it, lie and two bro thers dined at Kennington, and on their return, his watch was stolen near the Asylum, a•id therefo•e the person floin whom Mts. Cook had thus truhoentionally got it, roust nave been the thief. Tile A . l.agi..iate highly commended Airs.

The city had sold a house, ca condi. its being pull:d down within a certain tio , e, retail iiig the property of the ground. The VfOlksaen mph yeti in pulling it down found a treasure cr,ncealed iu one of the walls. The city now claims this treasure, because it has never ceased to he the proprietor of the ground while the purchaser asserts his right, as !Le treasure was not found below the surface, but in the wall bought by him. The bricklayer too, pretends that ii is his, becau e he found it ; and as if this were not enough, the aOrni oistrators of the domains come foi war.! and affirm that none of these three patties have any tile wi,aterer. As the coins discovered arc ancient, a-lit as the bcfo , e the Revolution belcng:d to a coov..lt, it is tc!y likely that the whole be declared the la-isrerty it the State.
