' O . l L ott o, Miss DoaA Low% and Miss Esue tea; the tw o latter were the bride's-maids. The usua l f or ms being gone through, the happy couple wired b y the southern gate, which leads through the c hurch -yard into Jermyn-street. Here a new and per fieent equipage was in waning to receive them; i t was a singulary elegant chariot painted a bright yellow, and highly emblazoned, drawn by four Wend Arabian grey horses, attended by two pos tatprs-in bowmen jackets, with superbly embroidered b o dges in gold, emblematic of the united arms of &Volt's:tame and TYLNEY families. The new soi led pair drove off with great speed for Black bath, intending to pass the night at that tasteful m o w, belonging to the bridegroom's father, and Scare proceed to Wanstead-House, in Essex, on the f o llowing day, to pass the honey-moon. The bride's me m excelled, in costliness and beauty, the celebra ma dress worn by Lady MOHPETII, at the time of her m arriage, which was exhibited for a fortnight at least, by her mother the late Duchess of DEvoristentz.— Ds dress of the present bride consisted of a robe of real Brussels point lace ; the device a simple sprig; ' was placed over white satin. The head was orna tneaed with a cottage bonnet, of the same material ; viz Brussels lace, with two ostrich feathers. She lik e wise wore a deep lace veil, and a white satin pe lisse, trimmed with swansdown.. The dress cost 700 guineas ; the bonnet, MO ; and the veil, 200. Mr. Pas wore a plain blue coat, with yelluw buttons, a white waistcoat, and buff breeches, and white silk stockings. It was to elude the eager curiosity of the crowd, that they retired from the church at the door opposite to the one at which they entered. Yes terday, the wedding favours were distributed among their numerous friends ; the number exceeded eight hundred, composed wholly of silver, aid unique in form; those for Ladies having an acorn in the centre, and the Gentlemen's a star ; each cost a guinea and a half. The inferior ones, for their domestics and others, were made of white sattin ribbon, with Over stars, and silver balls and fringe. The Lady's jewels consist principally of a brilliant necklace and ear rings; the former cost twenty five thousand guineas. Ertl domestic in the family of Lady C,ITHRRINE .

Thursday the first regiment of Royal Edinburgh volunteers commenced their drills for the season, and assembled in the Meadow Walk for that purpose, nine o'clock in the morning. A serjeant in the Berkshire Militia received on Monday 400 lashes the barracks at Nottingham for desertion : he had also been very active in swindling the town's people of almost every class. • The Km; (says a letter from Windsor) has been tonsidered a little better within these few days, so Friday s'nnight a meeting took place at Clonard, county Kildare, between Lieutenant WILLIAM RYAN and Lieutenant JAMES FITZWILLIAM, both of the 2d Surrey regiment of Militia, when, after firing a shot each, the ball of the former having slightly wounded the latter in the neck, the seconds interfered, and re conciled the parties. The resignation of Sir SAMUEL AUCHNUTY, it is ru moured, was not dictated by any offence conceived to have been received through Lord MINTO, but a perpetual interference in the military, or Commander in Chief's Department, by Sir G. H. Bantow. The latter, it is stated, had been accustomed to communi cate directly with the native Officers of the native branch of the service, through the medium of the Adjutant-General of the Madras Army, without any intimation to the Commander in Chief ; and for the purpose of facilitating communication with such na tive officers, to grant them occasionally leave of ab sence, without any notification to the immediate Com manding Officers of the battalion to which they be longed.

The Ceres, being in ballast, was permitted to pass; when the privateer went in chace of other Vessels : one of them has been since retaken by the Lord Cob chrane armed brig, and sent into Dartmouth. FALMOUTH, MARCH il The outward•boand Weil India and Africa fleets (about 200 sail) under convoy of his Majesty's ship Itsox, 32 guns, and DARING sloop of war, of 14, guns, put is here yesterday, with the wind from the southward and westward, and sailed again this morn ing with a strong breeze from the northward. Tito of the West Indiamen run foul of each other and lost their bowsprit. The East Indid fleet, about 12 sail, under his Majesty's ships BULWARK and ANTELOPE, also appeared off at the same time, and bore up for Plymouth ; this fleet will have some hours start of them. The East Indianian Asia run foul of the , brig Mary, of London, for the Isle of France, and car ried away her bowsprit and foretop -mast, which was almost immediately replaced on her arrival here, and she was in time to jot the a'ove convoy,.

The Duke of Kent packet sails to-morrow, with Mails for Lisbon.—Wind N. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 14. Another instance of the audacity of French priva teers was experienced yesterday, by an English sloop, which was captured close under the land, a little to the Eastward of this port ; a sloop of war however soon after hove in sight, and immediately gave chase. The sloop will, no doubt, be retaken ; but the priva teer, it is feared, will escape. Arrived the HAZARD, 18 guns, with about twelve sail of vessels, outward bound, to Newfoundland, under convoy. Sailed the Munos, of 16 guns, for Greenock; SPARROW, 18 guns, for the Eastward ; SWIFT, 16, and ELECTRA, 18 guns; having the trade under convoy, for Ports mouth.

Went from Hamoaze to Cawsand Bay the SCEPTRE, 74 guns, after having undergone a thorough refit. The NARCISSUS, 36 guns, was put out of commission yesterday. A fleet of about sixty sail are now in the offing, bound to the Westward, but, from the great distance they are at, it is not as certained what particular fleet they are. A French privateer, formerly the Earl Chesterfield Guernsey packet, has been committing great depre dations on this coast for upwards of a month past, during which it is known she has captured several valuable vessels. She is said to be commanded by the famous Captain lhacic. Several vessels have lately come in here that have been chased by her. DARTMOUTH, MARCH Is. Arrived a Spanish brig laden with nets, retaken by the Lord Cochrane armed brig : she was left in chase of the privateer. The privateer had taken out all the crew and every paper belonging to the brig, conse quently her name cannot be learnt. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 15. Arrived his Majesty's ships DERWINT and VAU• TOUR, from a cruize ; THRACIAN from the Downs ; and sailed again for the same place, with a convoy, in company with the SPARROW sloop.

Rear-Admiral Sir JAMES NICHOLL MORRIS rehois ted his fl ig on Thursday at Portsmouth on board the Vico, 71, Capt. H. M. OMMANNEY, for the Baltic. Zhe PHIPPS, Captain WELLs, on Wednesday night last, captured the French privateer le Cerfi of five guns, eight swivels, and 81 men, which came out of Calais that morning, and brought her into Portsmouth on Friday night. The privateer first made toward a brig, which wasleading the Phipps's convoy with a light, near the South Foreland ; but on nearing the PHIPPS she seemed inclined (mistaking her for a Mer chant vessel) to board her : the PHIPPS instantly laid her alongside, and, after a short oppolititin, obtained ,possession of her. The PHIPPS bad three men woun ded ; the privateer, two dangerously wounded. The following ships, which will compose part of the next fleet for India, are arrived' at the Mother benk :—WEXFORD, GLATTON, MARQUIS OF HUNTLP, ELPHINSTSNE, BOMBAY, CIRENCESTER, and ALNWICK CASTLE, for China ; LORD KEITH, HARRIET, INDUS, Asst, and SOMME*, for Madras and Bengal. • • " NIGH TRRASOM thrt Milting, William Candal and MaStn;ll/ Pt` suant to their sentcricii for hie!'

Mr. LisroN and suite are expected at Portsmouth immediately, to embark in the AaGo, 44, Captain WARRIN, for Constantinople Dispatches have been sent from the Secretary of State's Office, to be forwarded from Portsmouth to Sicily in the KITE sloop of war. They are supposed be important ; the feet for the Mediterranean, under convoy of the ARMADA, 74, having only just sailed, and the KITE being ordered to proceed direct without delay.

A commercial- intercourse between the Isles of Mauritius and Bourbon respectively, and the Cape of Good Hope, was authorised by an official notifica. tion published.at'Port LAU:, on the 16th July—such intercourse is t' be considered subject to Cie same restrictions as formerly. The Cey:on Government have notified, that merchant ships, of not more than 300 tons burthen, w ill be permitted, under certain regulations, to trade to the Cape - of Good Hope. The Board of Trade, after holding several consul tations with the Merchant;, on the subject of licences to the Baltic, have at length come to the determina tion of placing them on the following footing, of which they . gave notice on Saturday Licences for Importauon from the Baltic will by renewed for any vessel by which an exportation has been made to I the amount of 45 - per ton, or a full cargo of coals, or salt, since the Ist of July, 1811. The Import Li cence will be granted from the Baltic for any veiled by which an exportation has been made as above, from the 15th of September, 1811."—Independently of the barter which is expected from these licences, on the export of goods to the value of only £5 per ton, from Great Britain, the following commodities may be imported from France, and the catalogue; it is expected, will be enlarged in. the course of next week. The articles are, grain, flour, butter, cambric, artificial pearls, fruits, drugs, artificial flowers, thrown and raw silk, and perfumery. The last item, per fumery, requires explanation, as to the particulars it comprehends. ,• Norrotonamor.The Commission of Assize has been opened in the Shire and Town Halls, at Not tingham, and in the latter of which, when the Grand Jury were sworn, Mr. Justice BAILEY, after compli menting the Magistrates on the smallness of the Calendar, observed, that, in the two cases of frame breaking, 4 , if the house, specified in the Calendar, had been entered with violence, for the purpose of frame-breaking only, and no other damage had been done, the crime amounted to simple felony ; but if other damage had been done, then the offence was capitaL" The ten frames broken on Saturday se'n night at Pentridge, in Derbyshire, belonging to Mr. Tornam, were in full work. The violence appears to have been owing to personal spleen, as the silt and lace pieces about the frames were much injured, his doors and windows all broken to pieces, and his °len life menaced, while the violence was committing, by a number of armed men without. Mr. TOPHAM, for a short time, concealed himself in a closet. On Thursday last, at Minsfield, a person was ap prehended for stealing a club•box. He proved to be one of the Luddism, and coniessed to a knowledge of the person who broke SHIPLY's frames, whose name is dull: this man has since absconded. The prisoner has impeached near thirty of his comrades, nine of whom have been taken into custody, and many others have made their escape.
